A
The
city
of
Arcata
acknowledges
that
the
lands
we
are
located
on
are
the
unseated
ancestral
lands
of
the
we
ought
tribe.
The
land
that
Arcata
rests
on
is
known
in
the
wiat
language
as
Houdini,
meaning
over
in
the
woods
or
among
the
Redwoods.
Past
action
by
local
state
and
federal
governments
have
removed
the
wiat
and
other
indigenous
people
from
their
land
and
have
threatened
to
destroy
their
cultural
practices.
The
city
of
Arcata
acknowledges
the
weak
Community
their
Elders,
both
past
and
present,
as
well
as
future
Generations.
A
A
So
if
you
wish
to
make
a
comment
during
our
meeting
this
evening,
either
during
the
two
open
public
comment
periods
or
as
an
individual
agenda
item,
there
are
three
ways
to
do
so
so,
if
you're
here
in
person,
please
line
up
behind
the
podium
when
the
item
you'd
like
to
speak
on
is
accepting
public
comment
and
just
a
reminder
for
our
early
oral
Communications,
which
will
take
place
after
our
ceremonial
matters.
A
A
So
if
you're
here
in
person
again
line
up
behind
the
podium,
when
the
item
you
would
like
to
speak
on
is
accepting
comment,
if
you're
logged
onto
Zoom
click
raise
your
hand
and
if
you're
on
your
phone,
please
press
star
nine
on
your
phone
and
that
will
raise
your
hand
for
each
item.
We
will
take
in
Person
Public
comment
first
and
then
move
to
online
comments,
and
we
will
not
be
going
back
and
forth.
A
So
if
you
want
to
comment
line
up
at
the
podium
or
raise
your
electronic
hand
as
soon
as
comment
is
requested

that
item,
all
right
that
takes
us
in
to
ceremonial
matters.
So
our
first
matter
under
ceremonial

evening
is
a
certificate

his
three

not

provides
an
opportunity
for
our

G
As
a
city
council,
we
recognize
that
every
member
of
our
community
deserves
to
be
treated
with
respect:
dignity,
fairness,
regardless
of
their
sexual
orientation
or
gender
identity.
It
is
through
acknowledging
and
supporting
pride
month
that
we
reaffirm
our
commitment
to
fostering
an
inclusive
and
welcoming
environment
for
all.
During
this
month,
we
have
an
opportunity
to
reflect
on
the
progress
we
have
made,
but
also
to
recognize
that
there's
still
work
to
be
done.
We
must
actively
challenge
discrimination,
Prejudice
and
bias
that
still
persists
in
our
society.
Sadly,
even
here
in
Arcata.
G
I
would
like
to
take
a
moment
to
express
my
gratitude
to
the
2s
lgbtqai
plus
individuals
who
have
fought
for
their
rights
and
paved
the
way
for
Progress
their
courage,
resilience
and
unwavering
commitment
to
social
justice
has
made
our
city
a
more
inclusive
and
compassionate
place
for
everyone.
We
must
continue
to
listen
to
these
voices
and
experience.
If
there's
individuals
address
the
unique
challenges
they
face
and
take
action
to
create
a
more
Equitable
Society.
This
includes
working
towards
comprehensive
anti-discrimination
policies
and
safe
spaces
for
all.
G
Today,
I
invite
each
and
every
one
of
you
to
join
us
in
celebrating
pride
month.
Let
us
participate
in
the
various
events,
parades
and
Gathering
taking
place
throughout
our
County.
There
are
several
events
happening
this
weekend.
You
can
go
to
queer
Humboldt,
Lost,
Coast,
Pride
or
Redwood
Pride
to

what
events
they
have
this

Let's
engage
in
conversations,
learn
from
one
another
and
promote

There
is
no

this
Council

with
our
2s
lgbtqai
plus
Community.
Thank
you
and
happy
pride
month.
A
Thank
you
for
sharing
those
words
with
us,
Meredith
all
right
that
takes
us
to
early
oral
Communications.
So
if
you
have
one
of
those
cards
with
a
number
on
it,
please
line
up
behind
the
podium
and
if
you
are
waiting
in
the
wings
to
see,
if
there's
anybody
else
online,
you
might
as
well
line
up
so
make
your
way
to
the
podium,
and
you
will
have
two
minutes.
A
Okay,
just
kidding
sorry,
sorry,
early
oral
Communications,
we'll
be
there
in
a
second.
But
before
that
we
have
our
report
by
a
commissioner
committee,
and
so
that
means
we
do
have
our
annual
report
from
the
forest
management
committee
and
then,
after
that
we
will
be
going
into
early
oral
Communications.
Sorry
for
the
mix-up.
A
So
yes,
please
come
on
up
and
we're
ready
to
hear
from
our
forest
management
committee.
H
Hello
Council,
my
name
is
Dennis
Halligan
I'm,
the
chairman
of
the
city's
Forest
management
committee
and
basically
for
those
who
aren't
familiar
with
the
committee.
We
basically
advise
the
city,
council
and
Commissioners
on
topics
related
to
forestry,
ecology
and
Wildlife
on
the
city's
own
forest
lands,
in
addition
to
making
recommendations
to
the
Council
on
potential
amendments
to
the
city's
Forest
management
plan.
We
also
review
the
city's
Timber
Harvest
operations
before
they're
filed
with
the
California
Department
of
Forestry,
and
we
conduct
post-harvest
reviews
once
they're
completed.
H
The
purpose
of
this
report
is
basically
to
give
you
a
summary
of
what
happened
with
the
forest
management
committee
and
City
staff
in
relation
to
the
forest
lands
for
fiscal
year,
2022
and
2023,
and
if
you
notice
I'll
be
referring
to
them.
The
back
two
pages
of
the
annual
report
have
a
couple
of
maps.
So
when
I
start
talking
about
different
tracks
and
Parcels
you'll
be
able
to
look
on
those
and
see
what
I'm
talking
about.
H
So
it's
as
you
can
see
it's
you
know
several
pages
of
type
and
so
I'm
just
going
to
do
a
highlight
because
I
know
time
is
short
in
general.
The
city's
long-term
goals
for
the
forests
are
to
promote
a
healthy
late,
serial
forest
ecosystem
for
wildlife
and
ecological
benefits,
as
well
as
recreational
benefits
and
providing
other
quality
of
life.
Resources
such
as
access
to
Natural
areas
for
the
Community
Management
priorities
include
Watershed
restoration,
wildlife,
habitat
Recreation,
carbon
sequestration
and
Timber
Harvest
Revenue.
H
The
city
has
three
forced
tracks:
the
Arcata
Community
Forest,
the
sunny
Bray
forest
and
the
Jacobi
Creek
Forest,
the
timber
Harvest
on
the
city.
Forest
lands
are
developed
to
improve
the
health
and
the
ecological
functioning
of
forest
stands
and
I.
Think
anybody
who
walks
out
there
can
see
the
way
we
operate
on
this
on
these
Forest
lands
are
completely
different
than
you
see
on
Industrial
Forest
lands
a
lot
of
folks
go
out
there
and
they
don't
even
notice
that
is
all
been
harvested
before
so
anyway.
H
Such
as
land
acquisition,
both
for
forest
and
urban,
open
space,
roads
and
Trail
upgrades
and
new
recreational
opportunities,
so
some
of
the
activities
and
projects
that
were
done
in
the
past
fiscal
year
included
for
the
committee
provided
input
on
the
Redwood
National
Redwood
Park
Improvement
plan,
specifically
on
vegetation
management
and
Forest
Outreach
and
Trailhead
signage.
The
committee
provided
input
on
the
second
leg
of
the
jump
Trail
in
the
arcade
Community
Forest.
H
The
committee
provided
input
on
the
city's
Gateway
area
plan,
particularly
as
it
related
to
the
how
it
would
affect
our
local
Sawmill,
which
is
a
large
large
diameter
Sawmill,
and
you
know
we
need
to
keep
them
up
and
running
because
they're,
one
of
the
only
outfits
around
that
take
large
diameter
logs
that
we're
producing
and
a
lot
of
the
other
non-industrial
landowners
are
producing
around.
Here.
H
H
H
So
some
of
the
priorities
for
this
fiscal
year
right
now
or
Margaret,
Lane
Trailhead
Improvement,
an
alternative
to
Trail
nine
forest
and
Road
Culvert
upgrades
a
2022,
Timber
Harps
was
completed
on
the
Klein
laforge
parcel
in
Jacoby
Creek,
and
you
will
see
that
on
the
second
to
the
last.
You
know,
second,
to
last
page
you'll
see
a
little
dinky
spot
there
decline
of
the
forge
and
we
ended
up
getting
356
thousand
dollars
in
revenue
for
the
city's
Forest
fund.
H
H
The
city
staff
is
continuing
to
measure
the
second
measurement
of
carbon
plus
located
in
the
sunny
Brave
Forest
track.
That's
on
the
last
page.
H
H
Roads
and
trails
over
18
miles
of
roads
and
trails
continue
to
be
maintained
at
a
high
standard.
The
city
has
improved
signage
within
the
forest
to
encourage
further
use
of
cellular-based
advents,
which
are
actually
really
handy
because
I
use
it
quite
a
bit
out
there,
City
staff
continued
to
work
on
the
second
leg
of
the
ACF
jump,
Trail,
the
Redwood
Coast
mountain
bike
Association
and
the
Humboldt
High
School
composite
mountain
bike.
H
H
Some
of
the
planned
activities
include
conducting
a
field
trip
post
Harvest
to
the
clinical
Forge
2022
Harvest
conductive
field
trip
to
the
proposed
swaner
parcel
Harvest
for
2023.
This
year's
Harvest
continue
to
be
involved
in
the
non-industrial
timber
management
plan.
Amendments
continue
involvement
with
recreational
trail,
Construction
coordinate
with
other
advisory
committees
on
things
like
the
Redwood,
Park
master
plan
and
open
space
parks
and
trails.
Special
tax
expenditures
oversight
continue
strengthening
the
partnership
with
state
and
federal
agencies,
Cal
Poly,
Redwood,
Sciences
lab
CR
involved,
students
and
faculty.
H
Local
youth.
Writing.
You
see
Mike
McDowell,
with
a
d
tape
there
measuring
a
redwood
you'll,
see
hiking
in
some
of
the
carbon
plots,
see
a
spotted
owl,
some
juvenile
horned
owls
great
horned
owls.
What
else
we
have
here?
Timber
Harvest
planting.
H
H
J
Has
a
question
for
you:
I
just
it's
not
a
question.
I
just
wanted
to
bring
up
the
fact
that
we
have
carbon
credits
and
that's
one
way.
We
help
support
our
forest,
yes,
and
that
the
carbon
credits
are.
You
can
pay
donate
to
the
Humboldt
area
foundation
for
the
Arcata,
Forest
I
think
I've
got
that
correct,
and
so,
when
you're
traveling
by
plane,
train
bus
car,
you
can
make
donations
to
offset
your
carbon
footprint,
and
so
I
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
and
I
know.
That's
a
good
portion
of
what
helps
you
do
things.
J
H
And
it's
a
great
gift-giving
idea,
and,
and
so
one
of
the
things
about
it
right
now,
though,
is
we're
undergoing
re-measurement
of
our
carbon
areas,
carbon
projects,
and
so
while
this
re-measurement
and
remodeling
is
going
on,
those
are
currently
Frozen.
So
once
the
modeling
is
done
and
it'll
all
be
up
and
running
again,
but
for
now,
during
this
interim
period,
it's
it's
frozen,
but.
J
H
H
H
Well,
I
thought
I
knew
who
it
was
so
I'm.
Sorry,
no
I
used
to
buy
well
up
until
this
year,
I've
been
buying
them
every
year.
You
know
to
offset
you
know:
Carbon
used
by
my
entire
family,
especially
during
the
holiday
season
and
I'll,
send
them
out
instead
of
buying
gifts,
I'll
send
them
out
in
envelopes.
C
Okay,
oh
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
plug
about
the
avenza
map.
A
couple
of
years
ago,
I
got
lost
in
the
community
forest
and
lucky
for
me
between
the
events
of
map
and
David
Lloyd,
our
community
development
director.
You
did
not
have
to
send
a
search
and
rescue
team
out
there
for
me,
and
I
will
admit
that
I
do
get
lost
to
my
own
backyard.
C
I
just
wanted
to
thank
the
entire
committee
staff
and
the
staff
liaison
fourth
year
thorough
and
informative
Report,
with
some
beautiful
photos
to
boot
and
I
just
wanted
to.
In
reference
to
page
eight,
the
Box
on
the
right
side
of
the
page
I
wanted
to
say
how
inspiring
it
is
to
say
this
type
of
language
included
in
City
local
city
government
documents.
C
It
says,
community-based
forestry
is
a
participatory
approach
to
Forest
management
and
community-based
approaches,
give
local
residents
both
the
opportunity
and
the
responsibility
to
manage
their
natural
resources
effectively
and
to
enjoy
the
benefits
of
that
responsibility.
So
again,
just
thank
you
for
reminding
us
and
inspiring
us
to
be
involved
and
engaged
in
our
local
government,
because
you
can
make
a
difference
and
do
go,
buy
some
of
those
carbon
credits,
they're
great
gifts,.
A
Yes
and
download
the
events
app
I
agree
with
you
on
that
one
all
right,
so
that
now
takes
us
to
early
oral
Communications.
Sorry
for
the
mix-up
on
the
the
script
is
slightly
different
than
the
agenda
tonight,
and
so
again
we
will
take
the
first
we're
going
to
take
15
minutes
of
comments
during
this
open
Period,
and
so
the
city
council
values
your
comments.
A
This
15-minute
time
period
allows
you
to
address
the
Council
on
matters
that
are
not
on
the
agenda
and
know
that,
pursuant
to
the
brown
act,
we
cannot
discuss
or
take
action
on
items
that
are
not
listed
on
our
posted
agenda
and
at
the
end
of
oral
Communications.
The
council
May
respond
to
statements
and
again
there
will
be
a
public
comment
on
each
individual
agenda
item
and
then
again
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
under
item
number
12..
So
please
make
your
way
to
the
podium
or,
if
you're,
on
Zoom.
I
Thank
you,
mayor
Schaefer,
council
members.
My
name
is
Dan
Berman
I
work
with
first
five
humble
we
are
a
county-wide
government
organization
working
to
improve
the
lives
of
young
children
and
their
families
and
I'm
here
tonight
to
thank
the
city
and
especially
the
recreation
department
and
your
Recreation
supervisor,
Heather
Stevens
and
her
staff
for
their
fabulous
work
for
15
years
now
hosting
play
groups
in
Arcata
at
the
D
Street
Center.
I
We
are
excited
to
be
doing
another
Grant
agreement
with
the
city
for
another
year,
I
think,
first,
five
humble
will
be
contributing
about
twenty
three
thousand
dollars
towards
supporting
play
groups,
and-
and
this
is
one
of
about
24
grants-
we're
doing
around
the
county
for
play
groups
for
families
and
their
children,
but
we
just
I
wanted
to
come
tonight
and
on
behalf
of
first
five
and
thank
the
city
for
their
partnership.
In
this,
the
the
cost
of
running
play
group
is
significantly
more
than
we
are
able
to
support
a
first
five
Humboldt.
I
Work
in
making
a
really
welcoming
and
wonderful
environment
for
families
in
Arcata
and
the
surrounding
area
and
their
children
to
come
and
spend
time
together,
learn
parenting
skills
and
just
get
to
get
out
of
the
house
and
and
have
a
lovely
social
time
with
your
very
young
children,
to
encourage
members,
the
public
to
make
use
of
play
group
and
thank
the
city
and
their
wonderful
staff
for
your
long-standing
partnership
in
this
wonderful
program.
Thank
you.
M
Good
evening,
I'm
Fred
wise
I'd
like
to
point
out
a
small,
yet
significant
suggestion
from
the
public
that
has
been
ignored
from
the
general
Plan
update.
The
land
use
element
is
perhaps
the
most
important
chapter
in
the
general
plan.
The
first
two
sentences
currently
read
and
I
quote:
arcata's
land
use
patterns
have
been
shaped
by
many
factors
and
reflect
more
than
160
years
of
Community
Development.
The
early
settlement
of
the
Town,
initially
called
Uniontown,
grew
around
a
Central.
Plaza
I
had
requested
that
words
such
as
non-indigenous
or
european
origin,
be
inserted
into
that
sentence.
M
The
second
draft
of
the
Gateway
plan
came
out
in
October
2022.
The
message
was
that
the
plan
Incorporated
the
recommendations
from
the
city's
committees
and
from
the
public.
We
knew
that
was
a
false
statement.
Four
days
later
came
a
clarification
that
it
didn't
include
anything
that
wasn't
in
agreement
with
the
first
draft
that
there
be
a
table
that
would
show
the
non-comporting
elements
we
waited
five
months
for
that
table.
M
The
chairs
of
the
Planning
Commission
chair
of
the
Transportation
safety
commission,
the
most
senior
member
of
the
Planning
Commission,
have
all
been
ignored.
They've
requested
that
David
Lloyd
be
bypassed
in
the
communications
between
the
transportation,
Safety
Committee
and
the
Clinic
Mission
I
regard
that
as
a
major
problem.
Thank
you.
N
All
right,
good
evening,
good
Solstice
to
the
council,
the
staff,
the
people
here
in
the
room,
the
people
on
zoom
and
the
people
who
will
be
watching
this
later
on.
My
name
is
Joanne
McGarry
I
come
here
all
the
time,
I
usually
like
to
speak
about
three
things.
So
the
three
things
I'd
like
to
speak
about
today
are
my
THC
and
CBD
concepts
for
our
community
Our
Town
I'd,
like
to
speak
about
resiliency
and
I'd,
like
to
speak
about
the
peace
and
Justice
Center.
N
Sign
I
brought
here
today
in
hopes
that
we
have
a
future
place
for
it.
But,
first
of
all
a
reminder:
I
did
send
you
an
email.
I
did
get
a
response
from
a
couple
of
council
members,
I
appreciate
that
and
hope
to
have
a
carry
on
more
conversation
in
person
with
them
I
and
the
and
the
other
council
members,
but
THC.
Just
as
a
reminder
and
for
those
new
to
my
concept.
The
T
stands
for
transparency.
It
stands
for
truth
and
it
stands
for
trust.
The
H
is
for
honesty,
humility
and
humaneness.
N
The
C
is
for
caring,
compassion
and
connectedness
the
CBD
component
of
our
community.
Hopefully
is
that
of
Courage
boldness
and
bravery
and
decisiveness,
not
dividedness,
so
I
just
say
those
out
loud
to
myself
and
to
you
and
everybody
watching
and
hearing
that
this
is
important
to
me.
So
resiliency
comes
in
the
seasonal
way.
I
went
to
a
Blue
Lake
resilience
conference
event
last
week
and
we
need
to
have
that
in
Arcata
on
a
regular
basis
and
finally,
the
peace
and
Justice
Center
sign
I
acquired
it
and
took
it
as
a
sign.
N
O
O
For
over
a
year,
we
have
seen
our
garden
vandalize
almost
every
month
by
acts
of
intentional
malice,
our
crops
have
been
cut
down,
are
signs
to
face
cameras
and
lights.
Stolen
and
chains
have
been
placed
on
the
fences
to
bar
us
entry.
These
are
repeated
attempts
to
tell
us
that
this
is
not
our
land.
Whoever
is
committing
these
crimes
feels
like
we
do
not
and
will
never
belong.
O
O
However,
if
the
perpetrator
of
these
crimes
sees
the
unified
support
of
the
city
council,
it
will
send
a
message
that
Arcata
does
not
stand
for
hate.
We
call
for
the
public
announcement
of
the
full
Council
solidarity
that
the
garden
with
the
garden
and
the
intention
to
fund
and
protect
it.
Please
invite
your
friends
and
families
so
that
you
too
can
share
it
in
this
space
with
all
of
us
and
expand
our
Network.
O
A
Q
The
Cal
Poly
humble
Campus
Community
condemned
the
repeated
racist
attacks
targeting
Centro
De
Pueblos
Jardin
santuario,
a
local
Sanctuary
Garden
on
the
corner
of
11
and
F.
The
higher
the
Indian
santuario
is
a
vital
multi-generational
Multicultural
space
for
people
of
all
backgrounds.
It
is
an
empowering
place
for
Community,
Building,
culturally
cultural
revitalization,
practicing
food
sovereignty
and
for
knowledge.
Exchange
is
a
unique
destination
in
the
county
that
centers
indigenous
and
migrant
perspectives.
It
also
spreads
awareness
about
the
rights
of
migrants
and
Indigenous
people
to
both
the
students
and
The
Wider
community.
Q
The
repeated
hateful
attacks
against
the
heart
of
intentuario
are
rooted
in
the
history
of
white
supremacy,
anti-indigenous
and
anti-black
racism
and
xenophobia.
They
are
direct
affront
to
the
principles
outlined
in
the
city
of
arcata's,
sanctuary
city
ordinance
and
as
per
the
ordinance,
we
hold
the
Arcata
city
council,
accountable
for
creating
a
climate
for
quote,
creating
a
climate,
a
welcome
and
inclusiveness,
protecting
and
preserving
the
values
of
democracy
and
freedom
and
respecting
the
human
dignity
and
human
rights
of
all
persons.
Q
The
ordinance
also
states
that
the
city,
that
quote
the
city
of
Arcata,
assures
its
vulnerable
communities
that
the
city
supports
them
will
do
all
it
can
to
maintain
and
improve
the
quality
of
life
and
will
not
tolerate
acts
of
hate,
discrimination,
bullying
or
harassment.
We
thank
you
for
acting
with
the
immediacy
and
seriousness
required
to
address
these
hateful
attacks
that
have
impacted
our
community
and
ask
that
you
stay
committed
to
this
work.
R
And
everybody
that
is
what
the
pandemic
left
of
this
hybrid
communication.
Thank
you.
This
is
the
second
visit
of
Centro
Del
Pueblo
and
the
sanctuary
Garden
to
this
to
this
forum
and
I
wanna.
Thank
you
first
for
visiting
the
garden
these
days.
We
hope
we
can
see
you
often
there
and
we
thank
the
space
for
having
for
having
give
us
today.
More
food,
I
wanna
write
something
that
stands
from
this
forum.
What
have
been
produced
here
is
also
very
important
for
this
city.
It's
the
sanctuary,
City
2017,
the
Declaration
that
this
city
wrote.
R
It
says
the
city
of
Arcada
assures
its
vulnerable
communities,
communities
that
the
city
supports
them
will
do
all
it
can
to
maintain
and
improve
their
quality
of
life
and
will
not
tolerate
acts
of
hate,
discrimination,
bullying
or
harassment.
This
is
written.
This
is
part
of
the
job
you
have
done
and
and
your
the
former
and
the
past
City
Council
Members
I,
want
to
invite
you
to
enhance
to
implement
Sanctuary.
This
is
this
shouldn't
be
only
in
a
document
or
in
a
desk.
R
This
should
be
a
practice
being
a
sanctuary
cities
and
every
day
teaching
lesson
I
have
here
letters
for
more
than
60
60
people
for
more
than
20
organizations,
including
Cal
Poly.
You
have
the
most
influential
people
here,
speaking
of
production
of
knowledge,
let's
work
hard
together
with
Cal
Poly,
with
Centro
Del
Pueblo
with
these
residents
to
have
a
plan
for
implementation
and
I
want
to
request
publicly
a
session
for
talking
about
being
a
sanctuary,
City
and
helping
the
sanctuary
Garden
in
a
consistent
way
and
just
very
quickly.
R
A
S
Hello
Council.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
tonight.
You
look
perfectly
normal
to
me
by
the
way
I
didn't
notice
the
rainbow
at
all.
Maybe
that's
because
it's
normal
here
in
Arcata
right
I,
ask
you
to
attend
to
the
recommendations
of
the
transportation
and
Safety
Committee
regarding
the
L
Street
linear
Park,
regardless
of
whether
the
Planning
Commission
attends
to
them
or
not.
S
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Folks,
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
quick
kind
of
statement
and
response
just
because
I
know
it's
so
it's
difficult
with
the
structure
of
our
business
Council
meetings
to
be
able
to
kind
of
have
any
discussion
or
back
and
forth
conversation
on
these.
You
know
items
that
are
not
on
the
agenda
and
to
have
any
real.
A
A
A
It's
first
steps,
and
so
you
know
the
city
has
identified
this
as
a
hate
crime
and
will
continue
to
investigate
it
as
such,
and
anyone
with
any
information
about
the
crime,
of
course,
is
encouraged
to
come
forward,
and
you
know
provide
that
information
to
our
investigation
and,
as
we
will
talk
about
our
budget
this
evening,
the
council
has
also
set
aside
five
thousand
dollars
to
go
towards
any
other
needs
for
for
security,
or
you
know,
enhancement
of
security
that
Central
Del
Pueblo
will
identify
and
myself
and
the
city
manager
will
be
following
up
directly
with
representatives
to
arrange
those
details.
A
So
again,
thank
you
for
being
here
tonight.
I
know
cutting
you
off
after
two
minutes.
Doesn't
always
it
doesn't
feel
good
for
me
either,
and
so
you
know,
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
I'm
available
by
phone
and
email
to
be
able
to
set
something
up,
so
we
can
have
a
more
meaningful
discussion.
So
just
thank
you,
everybody
for
being
here.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
guys,
all
right
that
takes
us
now
into
the
the
meat
of
the
business
of
our
meeting
to
our
consent
calendar.
So
all
matters
on
the
consent.
Calendar
are
considered
to
be
routine
by
the
city
council
and
are
enacted
in
one
motion.
There's
no
separate
discussion
of
any
of
these
items
and
if
discussion
is
required,
that
item
can
be
pulled
from
the
consent,
calendar
and
considered
separately.
A
715
and
57
cents
authorized
the
city
manager
to
increase
the
contract
and
by
up
to
five
percent,
three
thousand
one
hundred
and
eighty
five
dollars
and
seventy
eight
cents
for
a
total
amount
not
to
exceed
a
66
901.35
and
to
allow
for
unfortunately
foreseen
contingencies
and
to
authorize
the
city
manager
to
execute
all
applicable
documents.
A
A
Five
hundred
twenty
one
thousand
eight
hundred
and
Seventeen
dollars
to
allow
for
any
unforeseen
contingencies
and
additional
work
as
necessary
and
authorize
the
city
manager
to
execute
all
applicable
documents
and
item
H,
adopt
resolution
number
223-63,
a
resolution
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
Arcata
authorizing
application
for
a
manufactured
housing
opportunity
and
revitalization
more
program,
Grant
up
to
three
million
dollars
all
right.
That's
a
lot
of
numbers
and
words
I
believe
we
have
a
request
to
remove
item
G
from
the
consent
calendar.
J
A
C
Ahead,
oh,
it
was
just
a
typo
on
packet,
page
20.
It
says
Linda
Perez.
It
should
be
Brenda.
That
was
it
on
that.
J
Am
moved,
you
approve
Item
B
with
the
change
I'll.
B
C
F
go
ahead,
so
first
I'm
going
ear
to
ear
because
I'm
so
excited
I
did
have
a
constituent.
Had
a
couple
questions
on
the
playground.
Costs
I
was
able
to
get
clarification
from
Emily
sinkorn,
but
I
think
that
You
probably
do
a
way
better
job
explaining
the
playground
equipment.
The
reasons
were
cost
and
why
we're
not
doing
local
those
kinds
of
things.
T
So
good
evening,
council
members,
The
Carlson
Park
project,
has
been
an
exciting
project.
It's
been
on
the
cities
and
the
city
council's
priority
list
for
a
long
time,
so
we're
really
excited
again
to
have
three
grants
to
develop
the
playground,
picnic
area,
special
event,
area,
river
access,
pickleball
courts
and
a
parking
lot
also
with
EV
charging.
So
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
excitement
coming
up
and
so
on.
T
The
agenda
today
is
around
the
playground,
equipment
and
surfacing,
and
so
we
really
looked
back
at
all
of
our
Outreach
and
input
from
the
Valley
West
Community
for
what
they
really
wanted
to
see
and
really
tying
in
with
the
River
theme.
And
so
we
reached
out
to
a
number
of
playground.
Manufacturers,
ones
we'd
worked
with
before
ones
we're
just
starting
to
work
with
for
Redwood
Park
and
some
others,
and
there
are
no
local
playground.
T
Manufacturers
in
Humboldt,
County,
there's,
probably
just
not
the
market
for
that.
So
we
really
rely
on
a
number
of
companies.
We
call
local
other
jurisdictions
that
have
worked
with
them
to
see
how
their
playground
equipment
is
utilized.
How
it
is
easy
to
you
know,
sustainably
maintained
by
their
Parks
departments.
You
know
so
we
work
with
the
manufacturers
and
also
get
back
up.
You
know
input
from
other
jurisdictions,
and
so
we
really
try
to
keep
as
much
of
our
expenses
local
much
of
our
you
know:
payment
local.
T
We,
what
will
be
coming
to
the
council
later
this
summer,
will
be
hopefully
we'll
be,
releasing
a
bid
for
the
main
of
the
concrete,
excavation
kind
of
the
bulk
of
the
work.
The
playground
is
its
own
specialized
work,
so
hopefully
that
will
be
coming
to
you
in
in
Late,
July
or
early
August,
and
we
really
anticipate
working
with
a
local
contractor,
that's
identified
through
that
bidding
process.
N
Thank
you,
councilmember
white
for
reading
my
email
and
others
I
know
did
as
well.
My
name
is
Joanna
Gary
and
I.
Don't
have
children,
but
I've
played
in
playgrounds
and
I
appreciate
their
existence
in
our
world.
I
continue
to
be
kind
of
confused
that
information
about
this
comes
late
to
the
game
for
some
of
us
in
the
community.
N
In
fact,
the
Lost
Coast
Outpost
just
posted
something
today
about
this,
or
maybe
it
was
yesterday,
but
when
we're
dealing
with
a
lot
of
money,
no
matter
where
it's
coming
from
and
no
matter
how
it's
going
to
be
spent
I
just
think
more
timely
ahead
of
a
meeting
like
this,
it
would
be
appreciated.
To
you
know,
see
pictures
and
have
people
know
a
little
bit
more
about
why
they're
choosing
the
particular
company.
N
Why
they're
choosing
such
a
design
and
materials
and
why
it
costs
so
much
because
it
really
costs
a
lot
of
money
these
days
it
seems
and
only
question
two,
because
the
city
of
Eureka
was
looking
at
a
waterfront
playground
and
they
were
going
to
have
Blue
Ox
design,
one
of
the
installments
in
that
playground,
and
they
had
a
local
architect
proposing
a
certain
design.
I
have
no
idea
where
they
were
going
to
get
the
equipment
per
se,
but
I
think
the
region
we
live
in
and
the
Arcata
particularly.
N
We
can
be
really
thoughtful
and
look
at
local
people
to
create
what
would
be
unique,
appropriate
for
our
community
and
locally
designed
and
built
and
another.
You
know
flag
in
our
that
we
can
wave
about
us
doing
things
in
our
community
like
self-generated
as
opposed
to
hiring
companies
that
I'm
sure
do
a
wonderful
job
but
they're
not
organically
from
here.
N
So
it's
just
something
I
like
to
share
philosophically
about
how
we
are
designing
our
future
and
the
future
for
the
children
and
I
guess,
that's
all
I
really
wanted
to
say
you
know
it's
going
forward
and
I
hope
that
the
next
playground-
maybe
we
give
some
local
folks
a
chance,
like
maybe
even
kinetic
artists,
to
design
things.
So
thank
you.
C
G
Hi
netra,
first
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
meeting
with
me
today
at
the
intersection
and
Street
in
question.
So
we
passed
a
complete
streets
ordinance
last
year,
I
believe
and
in
the
complete
streets
ordinance.
It
states
that
you
know
anytime.
G
We
redo
a
street
that
we
take
into
consideration,
making
it
more
accessible
for
bikes
for
pedestrians,
for
anybody,
that's
not
in
a
car,
and
you
know
as
we're
going
through
and
redoing
the
street
and
looking
at
the
improvements
that
we're
going
to
make
it
does
not
I
think
really
fit
into
the
idea
of
what
our
complete
streets
policy
is
going
to
look
like,
and
you
know
we
had
a
conversation
about
a
day
and
we
talked
about
exceptions
and
I'm,
sorry
and
I'm
going
to
read
off
my
phone,
which
I
think
is
tacky,
but
so
you
know
it
says
that
exceptions,
there's
reasons
that
exceptions
can
be
made
if
the
cost
is
excessively
disproportionate
to
the
need.
G
There's
a
documented
absence
of
current
future
need
and
there's
a
reasonable
or
equivalent
project
along
the
same
Corridor.
That's
already
programmed,
and
so
I
know
that
you
know
one
of
the
parts
of
the
complete
streets
policy
is
to
have
a
public
hearing
which
I
guess
we
did
and
nobody
came
to
it
so,
which
is
another
like
I.
Don't
know
how
to
make
like
people
go
to
I
didn't
even
go
to
it.
So
I
mean
I.
G
Understand
that
you
know
attempts
were
made
to
like
you
know,
have
public
comment
on
this
and
you
know
I
know
a
great
solution
that
was
brought
up
would
be
to
you
know,
take
those
eight
parking
spots
away
and
make
that
a
bike
lane
and
Wahoo
would
really
really
love
to
do
that.
That
would,
you
know,
constitute,
like
a
whole
other
public
hearing,
and
after
can
we
just
talk
about
this.
A
little
like
why
the
exception
was
made.
I
didn't
want
to
just
talk
at
you.
Sorry.
U
No
good
evening
mayor
vice
mayor
council
members,
member
of
the
public
and
the
staff
I'll
just
maybe
go
over
the
project,
so
this
is
our
annual
project
Paving
project,
and
this
year
we
are
doing
portion
of
Ed
Street,
a
portion
of
G
Street
and
Western
Road.
Normally,
the
project
Paving
project
includes
Paving,
striping
and
sidewalk
works,
and
we
are
doing
that.
U
As
you
mentioned,
we
recently
adopted
our
complete
sheet
policy
and
we
believe,
based
on
what
we
have
presented,
it
meets
the
complete
Street
policy
for
all
the
element
of
the
project,
except
for
the
one
location
where
we
met
today,
and
that
is
the
intersection
of
edge
Street
and
11th.
So
the
block
of
edge
Street
between
17th
and
18th
currently
is
has
enough
right
away.
However,
not,
however,
there
is
a
bike
lane
also,
however,
that
bike
lane
does
not
meet
the
standard
bike.
U
Lane
needs
to
be
exactly
five
feet,
but
currently
because
of
the
parking
it's
less
and
if
you
do,
the
measurements
everywhere
looks
like
the
width
of
the
bike.
Lane
would
be
one
and
a
half
feet
which
is
not
appropriate.
So
during
the
design
we
decided.
Okay,
we
have
a
complete
Street
policy
and
we
want
to
make
sure
we
have
a
bike
lane
pedestrian
access
and
vehicles.
So
there
are
three
options.
One
option
was
the
existing.
Sidewalk
is
wider.
There,
it
was.
U
It
is
seven
and
a
half
feet,
so
we
can
reduce
that
to
five
and
gain
some
width,
but
knowing
city
of
arcade
I,
don't
think
we
want
to
reduce
the
walkway.
It's
people
walk
there
actually
is
a
busy
street
it
it's
better
to
have
a
wider
walkway.
So
we
left
that
second
option
was
to
remove
eight
parking
stalls
along
the
apartments
or
the
housing
and
knowing
what
we
know
from
past
practices.
It's
not
ideal
to
remove
the
parking.
So
what
is
the
best
solution
to
move
forward?
U
We
cannot
put
a
bike
lane
because
we're
not
we
don't
have
enough
rooms,
so
we
propose
putting
Shadows
which
advices
the
drivers
that,
yes,
you
can
drive
here,
but
also
watch
out
for
the
bicycles
upstream
and
downstream.
There
are
bike
Lanes,
but
that
block
will
not
have
a
bike
lane
unless
we
get
into
the
parking
or
reduce
the
walkway.
Can.
U
Is
just
a
sign
that
you
have
you
you'll
see
throughout
the
city,
especially
on
the
11th,
Street
and
Union
Street,
and
on
K
Street?
That
tells
people
that
this
area
also
belongs
to
people
who
are
on
bicycles.
So
these
are
those
are
called
share.
The
road
that's
the
sign
means,
so
we
can
enhance
those
signs
and
I'll
be
talking
about
with
other
staff
here,
so
one
of
the
options
could
be
just
instead
of
just
putting
the
Shadows.
We
can
enhance
the
Shadows
with
maybe
more
green
paint
around
it.
U
We
have
seen
those
in
different
areas
in
Oregon
and
some
part
of
California.
We
have
to
see
if
that's
a
standard
so
coming
from
south
from
18th
street
from
the
bike
lane
just
put
a
shadow
with
the
green
around
it
and
when
they're
exiting
showing
the
same
thing
and
put
one
more
in
between
so
that
will
at
least
let
people
know
they
are
supposed
to
be
sharing
the
road.
So
that's
one
option
right
now,
but
you
know
other
options
would
be
getting
rid
of
parking.
G
Yeah
I
was
just
you
know
so
proud
of
us
when
we
passed
that
ordinance
and
I
am
just
I,
don't
want
to
get
us
in
the
habit
of
like
being
performative
about
it
about
you
know.
Oh
we
passed
this
thing,
but
you
know
every
time
there's
like
a
reasonable
exception,
we're
just
going
to
go
ahead
and
and
go
with
that
so
I
mean
I
understand,
but
at
the
same
time
I
I
kind
of
don't
feel
good
about
it.
So
thank
you.
U
Yeah
I'll
just
add
that
definitely
we
are
complying
with
competition
policy.
You
know
I'm
currently
on
Western
Road
they're
supposed
to
be
bike
lane,
but
there
are
no
bike
Lanes
right
now.
So
as
a
part
of
the
project,
we
are
adding
bike
lanes
and
we
had
enough
right
away.
So
in
fact
we
are
adding
a
buffer
Lane
between
the
travel
Lane
and
a
bike
lane
we're
adding
a
buffer
stripping.
So
that
gives
more
flexibility.
B
E
L
Yeah,
it
certainly
is
the
discretion
of
the
council,
but
the
staff
recommendation,
based
on
our
review
of
the
concerns
that
were
raised
is
that
one
of
the
concerns
it
was
raised
was
around
labor
compliance
and
we
did
have
a
project
with
this
particular
we've
had
many
projects
successful
projects
with
this
particular
local
contractor.
There
was
a
Paving
project
where
an
investigation
around
prevailing
wage
was
completed.
L
There
was
initially
thought
to
have
been
some
underpaid
wages
upon
the
completion
of
that
investigation,
though
the
Labor
Commission
did
determine
that
all
of
those
wages
were
paid
correctly,
so
that
just
kind
of
negated
that
portion
of
it.
In
addition,
the
other
concerns
that
were
raised
were
not
requirements
that
were
within
the
bid
process,
and
we
do
believe
that
this
is
not
only
a
responsive
bid
but
based
on
their
past
performance
as
a
responsible
bidder,
so
the
staff
recommendation
would
be
to
move
forward.
A
V
Good
evening
I'm
Colin
Fisk
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
crtp,
the
Coalition
for
responsible
Transportation
priorities.
I
want
to
start
out
by
saying
that
we
do
appreciate
that
the
project
includes
some
improvements
for
bikes
and
pedestrians.
I
I.
Do,
though,
want
to
emphasize
that
the
complete
the
complete
streets
policy
requires
that
all
projects
include
facilities
within
their
limits
for
all
modes
of
transportation
and
within
that
all
users
of
all
ages
and
abilities
and
I
think
councilmember
Matthews
vice
mayor
Matthews
earlier
went
through.
V
B
V
Is
noted
is
on
H
Street
between
17th
and
18th.
Obviously,
there's
a
bike
lane
marked
there
now,
but
it's
essentially
just
the
parking
Lane.
So,
for
all
intents
and
purposes
there
is
no
bike
lane
in
that
block.
I
believe
the
the
width
of
the
paved
way
is
about
36
feet.
That's
entirely
set
aside
for
cars
for
two
driving
lanes
and
two
parking
Lanes,
there's
about
12
or
12,
and
a
half
feet
of
sidewalk.
There's
no
space
at
all
for
bikes.
V
I
think
this
is
a
clear
opportunity
for
us
to
live
up
to
the
promise
of
the
complete
streets
policy.
This
is
also
one
of
the
main
thoroughfares
in
the
city.
It
carries
a
lot
of
traffic
and
in
that
segment
there's
there
are
no
stop
signs
or
anything.
So
often
cars
are
speeding.
I
myself
was
actually
almost
hit
on
my
bike
in
that
exact
location
just
a
few
weeks
ago
by
a
speeding
driver
of
an
SUV
and
so
I
guess
it
is
a
little
personal
to
me,
but
in
general
I
really
would
encourage.
W
Good
evening
my
name
is
Matt.
Simmons
I
want
to
stress
that
I
am
not
here
on
behalf
of
the
Planning
Commission
I
am
here
on
behalf
of
the
Redwood
Coalition
for
climate
and
environmental
responsibility
or
rocker.
I
won't
Echo
everything
Colin
said,
but
I
did
want
to
emphasize
two
points.
First
off,
when
you
have
a
bike
lane
and
then
it
disappears.
I
know
personally
and
also
evidence
backs
us
up.
That
is
one
of
the
most
dangerous
points
in
a
bicyclist
route.
W
As
someone
who's
like
making
an
active
effort
right
now
to
bike
around
Arcata
more
those
places
in
our
city
are
really
frustrating
and
can
feel
very
sort
of
defeating
when
you
get
to
them.
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
just
emphasize.
There
were
three
exceptions
listed
in
the
policy
and
I'm
going
to
read
off
my
phone
too.
It's
that
the
project
is
too
costly.
W
There
isn't
a
demand
for
the
project
or
there's
an
equivalent
project
already
scheduled
I'm
fairly
certain
the
exception
that
was
used
here
was
the
first
one
and
I
just
don't
want
to
set
a
precedent
that
removing
parking
spaces
is
too
costly.
W
Q
There
I'm
a
member
of
the
community,
and
this
is
JJ
also
a
member
of
the
community.
You
may
have
heard
him
already
give
some
of
his
comments
on
the
matter.
Q
He
has
a
lot
to
say
so.
I
just
wanted
to
come
and
speak
in
support
of
prioritizing
the
bike
lane
on,
in
addition
to
the
sidewalk,
when
I
lived
in
Seattle
partially
because
of
poor
bike
lane,
signage
I
suffered
a
crash
that
led
to
a
broken
shoulder
two
implants:
six
Crown
four
crowns
and
a
lengthy
recovery
process.
P
Q
Bike
lanes
are
prioritized
in
the
city
to
prevent
a
crash
like
the
one
I
suffered
in
Seattle,
so
I'm
just
here
to
to
make
those
comments
and
to
remind
you
that
bike
lane
prioritizing
bike
lanes
and
sidewalks
are
an
investment
in
our
next
Generation.
So
thanks.
X
Hi,
my
name
is
Wendy
ring
and
retired
physician
and
a
frequent
cycle
is
through
Arcata.
My
husband,
who
does
not
drive,
uses
his
bicycle
exclusively
to
get
in
and
around
town,
and
so
this
is
a
big
concern
of
mine.
I
I
want
to
underline
that
comment
about
disappearing
sharrows.
X
They
are,
nobody
knows
what
they
are
I
once
kind
of
did
a
little
experiment
and
walked
around
and
asked
people
if
they
knew
what
Ashera
was,
and
nobody
did
so
I
mean
essentially
biking
where
there's
a
shadow
is
like
having
a
sign
on
your
back.
That
says,
don't
hit
me
that's
written
in
Greek,
it
just
isn't
really
any
kind
of
safety,
and
especially
when
it
is
disappearing
and
reappearing.
The
purpose
of
the
complete
streets
policy
is
to
make
rebalancing
of
our
streets
the
default,
because
right
now
it's
cars
are
the
default.
X
Parking
is
the
default,
and
so
if
we
want
to
change
that,
then
we
can't
just
have
an
exception,
because
someone
wants
to
park
a
car
it
just
you
know,
I
mean
this.
Is
this?
Is
it
re?
It's
a
transformation.
It's
not
a
comfortable
transformation,
but
I.
Think
if
we're
serious
about
climate
action
and
serious
about
having
a
safe,
Safe
Streets
for
everyone
to
get
around,
then
we
have
to
have
a
continuous
bike
lane
and-
and
we
don't
want
to
set
a
precedent
of
saying.
X
A
Zoom
world
all
right,
I'll
bring
it
back
to
the
council
for
comments,
questions
or
emotion,
go
ahead.
Stacy.
E
Well,
I'm
just
wondering
if
maybe
we
should
table
this
and
bring
it
back
as
an
agenda
item.
If
people
are
wanting
to
discuss
it
more
to
get,
you
know
more
in
depth.
Yes,.
L
Well,
I
just
wanted
to
offer.
There
was
discussion
about
needing
another
public
hearing.
This
is
a
fairly
minor
modification
in
the
contract,
I
mean
in
essence
it
is
striping,
and
so
I
do
think
that
it
is
important
if
we're
taking
away
parking
that
has
been
existing
in
a
long
time.
L
We've
learned
that
it
is
good
to
have
public
dialogue
around
that,
but
I
do
think
that
you
can
approve
this
contract
tonight
and
still
move
forward
with
that
discussion
in
the
community
and
choose
at
your
next
meeting,
whether
or
not
to
just
simply
make
that
you
know
that
change.
It's
not
going
to
be
a
substantial
change
order
in
this
project.
A
A
L
L
No
I
would
just
approve
the
project
to
prove
the
award,
a
bid
with
augmentation
to
remove
parking
on
8th
Street
and
bring
back
to
make
sure
that
we
receive
public
input
on
that.
That.
E
G
A
U
Yeah,
so
the
project
involves
Paving
and
striping,
so
I
think
the
portion
that
we
are
talking
is
striping
portion
to
remove
the
parking
and
adding
a
parking
Lane.
So
that's
sorry
adding
a
bike
lane.
So
that's
not
an
expression
portion
of
the
work,
so
we
can
move
forward
with
the
project.
So
that
would
give
us
a
time.
At
least
you
talk
to
the
neighbors
there.
E
A
B
A
All
right
motion
carries
unanimously
and
thank
you
public
for
your
participation
on
that
and
crtp
and
rocker
for
bringing
that
to
some
of
our
attention.
So
thank
you
and
that
now
takes
us
to
item
H,
which
I
believe
yeah.
C
White
had
some
questions
about
so
on
page
66,
on
the
recommendation
and
the
staff
report.
It
says
that
there
are
hundreds
of
health
and
safety
violations
in
Arcata
from
minor
to
serious
serious,
and
this
is
in
reference
to
the
manufactured
opportunity.
Revitalization
program
or
more.
Some
of
these
concerns
can
result
in
a
mobile
home
being
inhabitable
which
can
leave
yet
another
family
without
a
home,
and
so
this
grant
is
going
to
prevent
more
homelessness
and
it's
easier
to
be
proactive
than
rather
than
after.
The
fact
I
just
wanted
to
I
I'm
just
really
excited.
C
We
used
to
have
this
program
and
I've
been
waiting
in
anxious
anticipation
for
it
to
come
back.
So
so
it's
been
I
believe
close
to
10
years,
since
we've
had
this
opportunity
in
the
state
of
California,
with
the
exception
of
one
application
being
improved
in
that
entire
time,
which
was
in
Coachella
Valley
in
Riverside
County.
C
So
I
just
wanted
to
applaud
David
and
staff
in
the
Community
Development
Department,
for
going
after
this
Grant
and
I'm
really
excited
about
it.
That.
A
C
B
A
Right
motion
carries
unanimously
and
that
takes
us
into
our
business,
which
is
old
business
and
the
old
business
item.
A
is
a
public
hearing
on
the
proposed
Appropriations
limit
for
fiscal
year
2023-24
and
consider
adopting
resolution
number
223-55,
adopting
the
proposed
Appropriations
limit
for
fiscal
year
2023-24
and
a
public
hearing
on
fiscal
year.
2023-24
proposed
budget
and
consider
adoption
of
resolution
number
223-57
adopting
the
city
budget
for
the
fiscal
year
23-24..
A
Do
we
have
a
staff
report
from
Finance
director?
We.
Y
Do
thank
you
mayor
vice
mayor
and
city
council,
so
we're
asking
you
to
do
two
things:
we're
going
to
do
one
presentation
on
both
of
these,
but
basically
what
we're
doing
is
we're
going
to
first
approve
the
2324
appropriation
limit,
which
is
also
known
as
the
Gan
limit.
This
is
an
interesting
piece
of
legislation.
It
has
like
three
different
propositions
back
to
1979.
Y
It's
a
convoluted
calculation
we
do,
but
it
sets
a
limit
that
doesn't
necessarily
tie
to
any
specific
Fund
in
your
and
your
budget,
but
we're
going
to
walk
through
it
real
quickly.
The
second
item
is
actually
once
you've
set
your
limit,
we'll
actually
go
through
and
ask
you
to
consider
approving
the
2324
budget.
This
is
going
to
be
fairly
fairly
quick
in
my
presentation
tonight,
because
we
have
spent
quite
a
bit
of
time
already
going
through
this.
Y
Y
So
we're
going
to
start
again
with
the
Appropriations
limit.
You've
actually
seen
these
same
calculations
at
the
June
7th
meeting
really
quickly.
Every
year
the
council
is
required
to
adopt
your
appropriation
limits
for
your
New
Year.
Basically,
what
it
is
is
it's
the
prior
Year's
appropriation
limit
or
again
limit,
and
it's
adjusted
for
a
price
or
inflation
factor
and
population.
Y
You
can
see
that
that
comes
out
to
an
increase
of
8.7
percent,
which
is
about
1.6
million
dollars
that
you
get
to
increase
your
Appropriations
limit
for
the
year,
which
sets
it
at
just
around
19.9
million.
We
talked
about
this
a
little
bit
on
the
seventh,
but
one
of
the
kind
of
quirky
things
that
we
are
doing
in
the
next
few
years
is
that
we
are
sort
of
by
not
choice
but
by
request
a
strong
request
from
the
state.
We
are
actually
adding
back
to
our
expenditures.
Y
Y
The
good
thing
is
that
even
taking
that
sort
of
subtracting
that
from
our
appropriation
limit,
provides
us
about
15
million
dollars
as
our
as
our
high
end,
the
local
revenues
that
would
be
subject
to
the
appropriation
limit
are
about
13.5
million,
so
we
have
approximately
1.5
million
dollars
sort
of
in
flexibility
or
sort
of
breathing
room
for
the
current
year.
This
could
change
some
interesting
point
here.
This
could
change
if
we
do
find
additional
Revenue
sources.
So
it
is
something
that
we'll
want
to
keep
a
close
track
on
with
that
state.
Y
Give
back
I'm
just
going
to
kind
of
shift
gears
and
real
quickly
go
through
sort
of
what
we've
done
with
the
budget
process
for
this
year.
As
I
mentioned.
This,
isn't
the
last
time
you'll
see
the
budget.
We
started
in
March,
which
was
a
little
bit
late
in
your
city,
council
goal
setting
and
priorities
which
sort
of
sets
the
outline
for
the
coming
Year's
budget.
We
do
the
mid-year
budget
update
in
on
March
15th
and
that
kind
of
had
two
purposes.
Y
One
was
to
Look
Backwards
at
the
2022-2023
budget
year,
but
also
look
forward
and
start
setting
ourselves
up
and
figuring
out
what
where
we
were
at
and
what
projects
were
priorities
June
7th.
We
did
a
detailed
review
of
the
proposed
budget,
we're
asking
you
to
consider
adoption
of
it
this
evening,
but
it's
not
the
only
time
you're
going
to
have
I
kind
of
want
to
remind
you
and
you
went
through
it
already
tonight,
with
the
consent
calendar
essentially
at
every
regular
meeting
of
the
city
council.
Y
You
deal
with
the
budget
you're
approving
bids
you're,
approving
contracts,
you're
looking
at
the
cash
first
months,
so
there's
a
check-in
process
throughout
the
year.
In
addition
to
that
and
regular
updating
and
Reporting,
we
will
come
back
to
you
in
February
of
2024
and
we'll
look
back
on
2324
as
we
look
forward
to
the
24-25
year.
Y
Y
So,
as
we
mentioned
really
quickly,
we
did
not
receive
the
measure
Z
grant
for
the
Juvenile
Diversion
counselors,
so
that's
actually
Revenue
we
had
included
in
the
budget.
That'll
be
a
subtraction
of
two
hundred
ninety
thousand
dollars.
We
did
receive
a
coastal
commission
local
Coastal
plan
Grant.
This
was
after
we
had
put
the
budget
together,
so
you'll
see
that
we've
got
revenue
coming
in
at
500
000,
but
we've
also
got
an
expense
of
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
a
net
of
zero.
Y
You
had
at
that
June
7th
meeting
approved,
adding
a
project
manager
that
would
be
supported
by
grants
for
our
capital
projects,
so
you'll
see
that
we've
got
the
revenue
coming
in
of
the
ninety
five
thousand
dollars.
I
rounded
there
and
you've
got
just
under
ninety
four
thousand
dollars
in
potential
expenses
to
support
that
staff
person
so
again,
for,
in
this
case,
a
net
of
171
dollars,
the
next
five
million
dollars.
Y
We
spent
quite
a
bit
of
time
talking
about
not
just
at
the
last
meeting,
but
also
in
preparation
of
sort
of
our
strategy
to
try
to
reduce
the
pension
liability
we
have.
That
was
not
because
it
was
such
a
large
dollar
amount.
I
didn't
include
it
as
an
expenditure,
but
it
is
technically
so
we're
adding
it
back
in.
That
would
be
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
from
the
general
fund,
a
million
dollars
from
your
water
fund
and
1.5
million
dollars
from
the
Wastewater
fund
and
well.
Y
Y
Y
There
are
a
few
other
things
that
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
were
aware
of
that.
That
will
happen
if
you
approve
resolution
22357,
which
is
the
budget
this
evening.
So
it
does
include
adopting
the
budget,
the
capital
Improvement
program
and
the
city
council
goals
and
priority
projects.
You
are
also
authorizing
transferring
one
million
one
162
000
from
the
general
fund
available
fund
balance
to
our
reserve,
and
this
is
moving
that
Reserve
from
25
of
operating
expenses
in
a
year
to
30
percent.
Y
Y
In
addition
to
that,
we
are
going
to
set
aside
2.5
million
dollars
in
a
section,
an
IRS,
Section,
115
trust,
and
this
will
pre-fund
our
pension
obligations.
This
will
remain
on
the
city's
books.
It's
not
an
expenditure,
but
it
is
just
a
reserving
of
funds
and
then
finally,
you're
also
agreeing
that
we
will
potentially
provide
amendments
to
the
2324
budget
as
long
as
they're
compliant
with
our
budget
and
fiscal
policies,
which
are
also
part
of
what
you're
adopting
tonight
big
picture.
Y
There
aren't
too
many
changes
in
your
overall
budget,
as
you
can
see,
though,
if
you
go
to
the
bottom
line,
which
is
your
increase
in
decrease
in
fund
balance,
obviously
21
22,
you
still
are
putting
you've
already
put
aside
13.7
million
dollars
towards
fund
balance
in
those
two
years.
The
estimate
of
where
we
think
we're
going
to
end
fiscal
year.
2023
was
2.7
million
dollars
of
of
excess
expenditures
over
revenues.
Y
That's
actually
dropped
to
two
million
dollars,
although
the
budget
was
originally
your
expenditures
over
revenues
of
5.3
million
dollars,
but
at
the
far
right
hand
side.
Probably
the
big
changes
in
that
fiscal
year,
2024
requested
budget,
that
was
8.5
million
dollars,
negative
impact
of
fund
balance,
and
it's
now
13.7
and
that's
the
number
we
just
saw
and
again
the
vast
majority
of
that
is
that
five
million
dollars
that
we
talked
about
using
fund
balance
to
pay
down
our
pension
obligations.
Y
This
is
just
an
over
you
and
I
can
see.
It
doesn't
show
up
very
well,
but
an
overview
of
where
you're,
at
with
your
estimated
fund
balances
with
all
those
expenditures
and
setting
aside
those
those
funds
for
the
reserves.
Y
If
you
go
kind
of
again
to
the
bottom
line,
you
can
see
that
you
start
your
year
in
2023
with
about
55.4
million
dollars
in
estimated
available
fund
balance.
Just
as
a
point
of
comparison,
I
went
back
and
looked
about
the
last
four
or
five
years
budgets
and
that
number
has
has
never
been
that
high.
It's
been
in
the
40s
and
it's
been
as
low
as
the
I
think
20
million
dollars
so
you're
in
good
you're
in
good
shape.
Going
into
this
year.
Y
You
can
see
your
revenues
and
expenditures
that
tie
to
the
the
last
sheet.
Those
transfers
to
reserves
which
includes
setting
aside
the
reserves
plus
funding
the
IRS,
115
pre-pension
trust,
and
so
our
estimate
at
the
end
of
the
year,
is
that,
with
all
of
your
funds,
what
you
would
have
available
not
include
shooting
reserves
would
be
29.6
million
dollars
and
just
to
put
this
in
a
little
bit
of
context,
26
or
excuse
me,
29.6
million
dollars
is
about
54
of
your
operating
expenses
for
the
year.
Y
Keep
in
mind
that
that
includes
that
big
chunk
of
43.7
million
dollars
in
capital,
which
is
typically
not
taken
into
account.
When
you
look
at
what
you're
setting
aside
for
reserves,
you
usually
go
with
just
your
operating
your
your
ongoing
cost,
which
is
about
42.1
million
dollars.
So
you
have
about
110.
If
you
add
in
your
reserves,
you
have
about
110
percent
in
reserves
of
your
annual
operating
cost,
which
is
pretty
extraordinary.
Y
If
you
go
back
a
couple,
a
couple
meetings
when
we
talked
about
pension
and
what
a
good
Reserve
is
25
to
30
percent
is
is
considered
a
good,
solid
Reserve,
so
even
at
the
54
overall
or
the
110,
if
you
take
just
operating
I,
feel
pretty
confident
that
we're
moving
into
the
next
year
in
good
shape.
That
doesn't
mean
that
24
25
in
future
years
may
not
have
challenges.
Y
But
at
this
point
at
least
you
have
a
good,
solid
base,
moving
forward
and
one
other
item
I
just
wanted
to
highlight,
because
it
it
was
a
pretty
well
put
together
chapter
and
it
wasn't
included
in
the
budget
document
for
the
June
7th
meeting.
Our
engineering
department
put
together
a
capital
Improvement
program
and
it
is
a
really
nice
document.
This
is
a
tool
that
will
kind
of
get
incorporated
into
the
process
going
forward.
It
adds
the
ability
for
not
just
the
management,
but
you
and
the
the
public
to
see
sort
of
the
process.
Y
As
far
as
how
we
plan
our
capital
projects,
the
cost
estimates
we'll
talk
about
how
they're
prioritized
and
it
really
allows
us
more
transparency
and
more
communication
and
a
better
way
to
match
your
your
goals
to
the
projects
that
we
actually
Fund
in
the
long
run,
and
just
a
side
note
on
that,
we
will
be
incorporating
that
into
the
open,
gov
new
system,
and
so
that
will
be
part
of
the
online
budget
book.
Also
so
it'll
be
available
even
in
wider
audiences,
and
with
that
I'm
happy
to
answer
questions.
A
Thank
you
so
much
Tabitha,
let's
open
the
questions.
G
At
the
start,
thank
you
so
much
Tabitha.
This
is
such
a
such
a
clear
presentation,
but
just
wanted
to
pick
up
that
thread
that
you
started
about
like
how
we're
looking
long
term
like
where
do
you
see
us
in
like
five
and
ten
years?
Are
we
on
a
a
good
trajectory?
Should
we
be
nervous
about
the
upcoming
years,
like
what
is
our
long-term
forecast
like
so.
Y
I
will
say
once
you
get
out
to
year,
24,
25
and
sort
of
moving
forward
revenues
are
going
to
be
tight
and
that's
going
to
be
a
challenge
for
us
to
meet
those
service
levels
that
are
expected
in
this
community.
If
prices
continue
to
increase
like
they
are,
that's
that's
sort
of
an
unmanageable
balance.
Y
It's
part
of
the
reason
that
you
have
given
direction
to
staff
to
meet
with
the
the
transa
transaction
and
use
tax
oversight
committee
and
look
at
the
possibility
for
potential
tax,
issuances
or
ballot
measures
in
2024,
because
that
we
really
do
have
that
hole
to
fill
so
in
the
short
run.
I
think
we're
in
good
shape,
I
think
the
planning
is
there
I
think
the
foundation
is
being
laid,
I.
Y
Think
setting
aside
the
reserve
reserves
paying
down
the
pension
will
certainly
make
things
easier
going
forward
when
you
save
those
those
interest
costs
and
some
of
those
expenses.
But
it
doesn't
mean
that
we
don't
still
need
to
be
looking
sort
of
at
that
five
and
ten
year
Horizon
to
make
sure
that
we're
planning
forward
and
and
one
of
my
goals
is
to
actually
be
able
to
put
together
on
paper
Financial
plans
that
take
us
out
a
few
more
years,
so
that
we
can
see
how
the
changing
environment
or
changing
decisions
will
impact
the
long-term.
L
I
was
just
gonna,
I
was
just
gonna.
Add
to
that.
We
have
a
lot
of
programs
that
we've
been
building
over
the
last
several
years,
with
one-time
monies
with
cdbg
funds
and
with
arpa
funds
from
or
long-term
programs
like
our
Juvenile
Diversion
counselors
that
have
been
funded
with
the
county
measure
Z
fund.
So
as
those
funding
sources
start
to
whittle
down
in
the
next
couple
of
years,
I
think
is
really
when
we
talk
to
the
community
about
how
to
long-term
fund
missed
Community,
Ambassador,
Juvenile,
Diversion,
counseling
programs
and
those
types
of
things.
E
I
just
have
two
quick
questions.
One
of
them
was
actually
about
the
Juvenile
Diversion
I.
We
are
still
keeping
that
program,
though
right
we're
just
paying
for
it
ourselves.
Y
E
Okay,
just
wanted
I
know
that's
an
important
program,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
keeping
it
and
then
not
to
go
back
to
the
Gan
limits,
but
but
I
think
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
I
think
you
said
at
our
last
meeting
that,
with
the
whole
borrowing
us
being
generous
with
the
state
of
California,
because
they
are
generous
with
us
and
grants
and
such
if
we
did
get
into
a
situation
where
we
were
approaching
our
limit,
that
we
could
pull
some
of
that
money
back.
That.
Y
Is
that
is
correct,
so
what
they've
asked
us
to
do
is
report.
If,
if
that
4.9
million
dollars
would
cause
us
to
exceed
our
limit,
essentially
they'll
take
it
back
and
they
did
do
that
for
I
had
to
go
back
and
recalculate
for
the
year
2122
and
we
we
were
higher,
because
that
was
actually
a
very
good
Revenue
year
for
us
and
they
actually
did
reduce
the
amount
that
they
asked
us
to
take
responsibility
for.
J
Other
questions
well,
I
was
going
to
ask
that
same
thing
about
the
the
home
key
program
that
you
just
mentioned,
not
too
sure.
If
I
totally
understand
what
you've
said
to
Stacy
about
it,.
Y
So
basically,
what
I
said
is
that
the
state
is
asking
us
to
take
on
that
responsibility
for
that
expenditure,
but
they
also
have
provided
that
if
it
would
cause
us
to
exceed
our
limit
and
violate
the
Gan
limit,
we
have
the
ability
to
ask
them
to
remove
it
or
reduce
it.
So
so
they're
going
to
help
us
make
sure
that
we
don't
end
up
exceeding
our
limit
just
because
we're
covering
them
does
that
make
sense.
Y
C
So,
just
to
clarify
on
page
262,
you
have
a
list
of
the
arpa
funds.
These
are
the
programs
that
we
need
to
be
concerned
for
long-term.
You
know
sustainability,
I'm,
really
relieved
to
hear
that
we
will
be
funding
the
Juvenile
Diversion
program,
but
things
like
the
community
ambassador
program
refunding
the
stop
positions
that
have
been
frozen
during
the
pandemic.
Is
that
something
that
we're
going
to
need
to
look
at
for
long-term
funding
the
arcade
economic
recovery
which
says
multi-year?
C
Will
they
just
stop
or
I
I'm
excited
to
hear
and
I
know?
I
just
asked
a
whole
bunch
of
questions,
but
this
new
system
can
help
us
pick
and
choose
and
prioritize
programs
in
real
time
by
you
know
adding
and
what
is
it
going
to
look
like
here?
What
you
know,
what
kind
of
deficits
that
was
a
whole
bunch
I'm?
Sorry,
I'll,
stop.
Y
So
yes,
the
first.
The
first
answer
is:
yes,
these
have
limited
funding.
It's
one-time
funding.
I
know
that
when
the
council
originally
did
the
allocation,
some
of
these
things
were
for
up
to
three
years.
Some
are
just
going
to
start
running
out
next
year,
so
that
is
certainly.
If
you
want
to
continue
those
programs,
we
probably
have
to
find
an
additional
Revenue
source.
So
that's
the
answer,
one.
Y
The
answer
and
I'll
make
sure
I
try
to
hit
those.
Whether
or
not
the
new
program
would
allow
you
to
make
decisions
in
real
time.
It
will
be
probably
as
close
as
we
can
get
to
that
and
I
will
be
very
honest.
I've
seen
it
in
practice.
Y
How
much
I
can
sit
up
here
and
change
numbers
and
we
make
decisions
well
that
that
I'm
not
going
to
make
any
promises
for
yet,
but
it
could
be
that
you
say
I
want
to
see
what
this
looks
like
and
I
come
back
at
the
next
meeting
that
I
can
give
you
does
that
answer
all
your
questions.
It
did
I.
C
Well,
no
I
have
one
more
okay
and-
and
this
really
isn't
a
budget
question,
but
I
guess
I'm,
just
wondering
when
we
adopt
the
second
resolution.
Does
that
include
other
things
other
than
the
budget?
So,
for
example,
on
packet
page
98,
we
have
an
organizational
chart
which
doesn't
really
have
anything
with
the
budget,
but
it
was
part
of
our
budget
packet
that
you
put
together
for
us
and
I.
Just
ask
because
I'm
wondering
if
we
might
put
that
on
a
future
agenda.
C
It
looks
quite
different
than
our
prior
city
of
Arcata
organizational
chart
in
2018
and
19,
and
then
we
have
more
updated
in
23
24.
and
it's
probably
just
been
omitted
by
mistake.
But
I
noticed
on
our
most
recent
organizational
chart.
We
don't
even
have
our
committee's
commissions
or
boards
on
there
and
then
also
to
say
that
I'm
really
glad
that
we
still
have
the
Arcata
Community
on
top.
C
But
it
looks
like
the
hierarchy
has
changed
with
city
council,
our
City
attorney
our
city
manager
and-
and
it
might
be
just
like
how
it's
been
presented
on
there.
But
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
not
approving
this
new
organizational
I.
Don't
even
know
when
that
happened
or
when
that
changed.
But
if
we
could
possibly
put
that
forward
on
another
agenda
to
look
at
it
or.
L
C
Y
C
J
C
I
guess
my
big
concern
is
in
the
organizational
chart.
It's
somebody.
It
was
always
included.
It
goes
the
city,
Arcata
Community,
the
Arcata
city
council
and
then
right
below
that
we
have
our
commission
boards
and
committees
and
then
below
that
we
have
the
course
of
city
manager
and
City
attorney,
but
in
the
new
one
we
don't
have
them
at
all,
which
means
you
know,
I
mean
as
a
former
planning
commissioner
I'm
wondering
like.
Why
are
these
folks
there,
if
they're,
not
included
in
the
decision-making
process
or
even
in
our
organizational
chart
and.
A
C
C
Z
A
N
Hello,
my
name
is
Joanne
McGarry
and
I
really
appreciate
Tabitha
Miller's
presentation,
it's
a
lot,
I
get
confused
by
numbers
and
a
lot
of
them
and
I
get
confused
by
large
amounts
of
money.
I
totally
appreciate
the
need
to
do
what
we're
doing
for
the
pension
I
just
want
to
share
with
the
council
and
staff,
because
the
Calpers,
which
is
I,
guess
the
part.
The
agency
that
we've
feed
the
funds
into
there's
a
current
Statewide
effort
to
in
a
state
bill,
I
think
to
deal
with
fossil
fuel
investment
and
I.
N
Think
it's
something
that
the
staff
who
is
benefiting
by
this
Pension
Plan
needs
to
have
an
awareness
that
currently
there
is
no
fossil
fuel
divestment
protocol
in
the
Calpers
and
there's
efforts
to
be
made
to
insist
upon
that.
So
I
just
kind
of
put
it
out
there,
because
it's
a
lot
of
money
staff
deserves
their
pensions
and
we
deserve
to
provide
it
in
a
safe
and
guaranteed
way.
But
we
are
a
climate
focused,
Community,
hopefully,
and
fossil
fuels,
and
investing
in
them
is
not
where
we
want
to
go
so
I'm.
N
Just
sort
of
saying
that,
as
an
aside
to
this
whole
budget
issue,
but
because
it's
a
lot
of
money,
I'm
concerned
about
where
we're
putting
where
Calpers
is
putting
it.
K
Good
evening,
Patricia
kambianica
I
wasn't
going
to
speak
tonight,
but
since
Kimberly
White
brought
up
the
organizational
chart,
I've
spoken
of
about
the
organizational
chart
in
the
past
and
I
did
a
deep
dive
in
our
website
and
never
found
the
new
version.
It's
always
been.
K
The
older
original
version
that
lists
community
on
the
top,
the
council
and
the
Committees
and
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
feeling
in
the
public
right
now
that
the
Committees
are
being
bypassed
and
they're
their
input
isn't
being
really
considered
and
brought
in
to
the
decision
making
as
much
as
it
has
been
in
the
past
and
should
be,
and
of
course,
the
community
members
are
feeling
that
they
haven't
been
heard
in
Oregon
in
in
some
of
these
decisions.
So
I've,
like
I,
said
before
I
think
we're
reading.
K
You
know
I
always
thought
that
the
city
was
reading
the
organizational
chart
upside
down
and
now
I'm
kind
of
disheartened
to
hear
that
they
took
out
the
Committees
because
they
really
put
so
much
time
and
effort
and
their
expertise
into
running
our
city.
That
staff
should
really
be
paying
attention
to
their
recommendations
and
and
valuing
their
time.
That
they
they
volunteer
to
the
city
so
anyways.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
bringing
that
up.
Commissioner
White
council.
AA
Good
evening
in
the
PDF
there
is
a
section
about
the
phase
one
wastewater
treatment
plant.
It
says
52.5
million
dollars,
that's
what
you
approved
back
in
October,
but
our
financial
director
has
I
think
it's
been
two
or
three
times
has
informed
you
at
62
million.
So
the
question
is
still
out
there.
That
I
mean
I'm
starting
to
think
there's
something
desperately
wrong
here
that
you
can't
answer
this
question.
What
happened
to
10
million
dollars
I
mean
the
last
meeting.
AA
You
were
each
as
individuals
coming
up
at
different
sections
of
the
budget
that
you
wanted
to
question.
So
why
hasn't
anybody
answered
this?
One
I'd
also
say
that
the
phase
one
clearly
in
the
document
says
that
you're
basically
you're
performing
the
the
public
that
you're
charging
the
eight
percent
increase
in
the
waste
and
water
and
and
that
fee
is
for
phase
one.
Two
and
three
I
didn't
even
know.
AA
There
was
a
phase
three
of
the
wastewater
treatment
plant,
but
then
obviously,
you've
probably
spent
quite
a
bit
of
time
about
Cal
Pairs
and
then
how
you
were
going
to
take
money
from
Water
waste
general
fund
and
supplement
that.
So
you
have
two
competing
interests
there
in
your
and
there
was
a
document
that
was
presented
to
the
city
and
so
I
wonder
what
your
answer
is
to
that.
AA
So
it's
there's
a
lot
of
questions
about
that
about
the
wastewater
treatment
plant,
you've
gotten
a
grant
and
you're
you're,
basically
a
year
or
two
out
from
that
study
and
I
I
think
what
was
interesting
is
your
organization
chart
which
I
think
a
couple
of
people
have
quoted,
but
the
Public's
supposed
to
be
on
top
and
it
doesn't
feel
like
the
public
is
in
charge
of
the
process
in
any
way,
and
we
can
see
that
with
the
Planning
Commission.
Basically,
we
start
a
half
an
hour
early.
Now
we
call
it
special
sessions.
AA
All
all
the
input
from
the
public
from
I
mean
a
very
important
subject:
matters
the
general
Plan
update
the
Gateway.
No
no
comments
are
happening.
I,
don't
know
whether
this
is
like
the
Mother
Russia
approach
or
whether
this
is
just
stupidity,
but
it's
like
you're
kind
of
like
not
getting
the
information.
You
need
from
the
public
to
make
this
all
legal
and
I
think
last
session.
They
finally
realized.
We
need
to
go
back
to
regular
sessions,
but
unfortunately,
the
Planning
Commission
has
voted
that
won't
start
until
July
when
it's
all
over
with
so
I.
A
Y
And
I
apologize
if
you
didn't
Mr
Daggett,
if
you
didn't
get
that
it
was
sent
this
afternoon,
because
you
have
brought
that
question
up
and
there
there
is,
there
was
back
in
October
I
think
it
was
a
54
and
I'm
doing
this
off
a
memory
here,
a
little
more
than
54
million
dollar
contract
that
was
signed
with
Wallen
construction,
and
that
was
for
construction,
but
there's
an
additional
several
additional
contracts,
plus
additional
amounts
that
have
been
assigned
set
aside
for
other
costs,
there's
2.9
Million
dollars
for
design.
Y
That's
in
addition
to
that
another
1.9
million
dollars
for
construction
management,
there's
some
oversight
of
some
environmental
issues
with
it
and
there
will
likely
be
some
additional
costs.
But
I
do
know
that
we
have
an
agreement
with
the
state
for
reimbursement
up
to
a
little
over
64
million
dollars,
which
is
based
on
a
an
estimate
of
the
project
being
at
over
65
million.
So
there
are
different
numbers
and
I
understand
that
the
complexity.
The
other
piece
of
this
that
makes
it
very
complex
is
that
none
of
that
gets
budgeted
all
in
the
same
year.
Y
So
on
top
of
it.
That
is
it's
multiple
years,
multiple
phases,
but
but
the
current
cost
is,
is
around
65
million
dollars
and
I'm
happy
to
to
walk
through
any
of
those
details.
If
you
want
to.
A
G
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
adopt
resolution
number
223-55
resolution
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
Arcata,
adopting
the
fiscal
year
2023-24
Appropriations
limit
and
adopt
resolution
number
223-57,
a
resolution
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
Arcata,
adopting
the
annual
budget
for
fiscal
year,
23
24.
I.
A
C
Questions
yeah
I
bear
with
me
I'm.
This
is
my
first
time
doing
a
budget,
so
on
page
82
we
have
our
population
and
it
shows
you
know,
out
of
all
of
Humboldt
County
we've
increased
by
four
percent
and
I.
Remember
the
number
from
Karen:
that's
is
it
like
200
per
increase,
so
this
is
like
we're
growing
at
what
two
and
a
half
to
three
times
faster
than
we
have
in
the
past
and
so
I'm.
C
Just
thinking
about
our
budget,
you
know
more
people,
more
costs
and
so
I'm
glad
we're
in
great
shape
now
and
I
appreciate
your
candidness
of
we're
going
to
have
to
tighten
our
belts
or
come
up
with
some
ways
to
sustain
these
programs.
But
then,
looking
at
this
kind
of
Staggering
population
growth,
I
am
a
little
bit
taken
aback
about
what
that's
going
to
look
like
down
the
road.
E
C
Appreciate
that
perception,
thank
you.
I'm,
like
oh,
no,
yeah
and
and
as
I
said,
this
is
my
first
time
so
I'm
asking
questions
because
I'm
trying
to
learn
and
understand
what
this
is
going
to
look
like
Beyond,
this
particular
fiscal
year
and.
Y
And
that
is
interesting.
It's
it's
a
little
over
four
percent
and
it's
actually
based
on
the
state
estimated
those
and
provide
those
for
us,
but
we
were
the
only
incorporated
or
unincorporated
area
in
the
county
that
had
an
increase
in
population,
the
the
rest
of
the
cities
and
even
the
unincorporated
area
all
decreased
in
population.
So
it
is
an
interesting
that
that.
C
Was
what
was
kind
of
like
wow,
okay
something's
going
on
here
and,
of
course,
we
know
that
Cal
Poly
Humboldt
is
expanding
and
that's
gonna
obviously
affect
this
as
well,
but
just
with
everybody
else
decreasing
and
we're
increasing
and
not
just
a
little
rather
significantly
just
thinking
about
what
that
will.
Look
like
Beyond
this
fiscal
year
by
as
I,
have
been
reassured
by
Stacy.
E
To
work
out,
why
do
I
guarantee
that
but
I
did
I
did
offer
it,
but
one
thing:
I
don't
know
if
this
will
help
or
hurt,
but
that
four
percent
is
a
it's
a
state
estimate
and
for
anybody
that
really
does
a
deep
dive
into
housing
and
the
arena
numbers
and
all
of
that
I
think
that
that's
not
the
most
accurate.
It
could
definitely
be
higher
than
that.
J
I
think
the
other
thing
we
have
to
do
I
mean
it's
hard
to
see
the
buildings,
but
we
do
have
new
Apartments
new
buildings
go
on
here
and
there
throughout
Arcata,
and
some
of
them
are
tucked
away.
So
you
don't
notice
them,
but
I
think
we
have
been
adding
very
slowly
and
incrementally
more
additional
housing
units
in
Arcata
so
and
I
think
in
the
hopefully
in
the
future.
We're
going
to
be
able
to
even
have
more,
and
so
that's
one
of
the
things
that
I
worry
about.
A
And
one
more
piece
before
we
maybe
call
for
a
vote
but
like
like
Tabitha,
was
saying
and
like
we,
we
talked
about
last
meeting
also
having
our
transaction
and
use
and
looking
at
a
possible
tax
measure
of
again
a
ways
to
bring
in
additional
Revenue,
because
we
know
that
there
are
things
that
we
want
to
fund
and
that
we
are
growing
and
that
we
are
going
to
need
to
bring
in
more
Revenue.
If
we're
going
to
be
able
to
provide
services
to
our
community
at
the
level
that
you
know,
people
expect
so.
B
A
But
before
things
are
ready
to
go
on
the
ballot
all
right,
if
there
aren't
any
more
questions
or
comments,
we
had
a
motion
and
a
second
so
we'll
call
the
question
and
take
a
vote
on
that.
So
all
in
favor.
B
A
Aye,
okay,
that
goes
unanimously.
So
thank
you,
everybody
and
thank
you,
director,
Tabitha
Miller,
for
doing
an
excellent
job
with
the
budget
and
making
it
very
clear
for
all
of
us.
We
all
appreciate
it
all
right,
we're
buzzing
right
by
new
business,
there's
no
new
business,
so
that
takes
us
into
oral
and
written
Communications.
So
again,
the
city
appreciates
your
public
input
and
this
time
is
provided
to
address
the
Council
on
items
that
are
not
on
the
agenda.
A
Pursuant
to
the
brown
act,
the
council
cannot
discuss
or
take
actions
on
items
that
are
not
listed
on
the
posted
agenda
and
at
the
end
of
oral
Communications,
we
may
respond
to
statements
and
supported
requests
that
require
Council.
Action
will
be
set
for
a
future
agenda
or
recommended
to
staff.
So
you
will
be
limited
to
three
minutes
and
if
you
are
here
in
person
and
want
to
give
public
comment,
please
line
up
behind
the
podium
now
and
if
you
are
on
Zoom
rest
raise
that
Zoom
hand
or,
if
you're,
on
your
phone
press
star.
AB
There
you
are
hi
James
Becker
here
to
just
speak
a
little
bit
on
the
Gateway
draft.
That's
soon
to
have
some
released
form-based
code
in
the
rough
draft
presented
to
you
we're
going
on
18
months
since
the
release
of
the
Gateway
draft.
AB
Within
the
opening
paragraph
of
the
brown
acted
States.
The
people
of
the
state
do
not
yield
their
sovereignty
to
agencies
which
serve
them.
The
people
in
delegating
Authority
do
not
give
the
public
servants
their
rights
to
decide
what
is
good
for
people
to
know
and
what
is
not
good
for
them
to
know
the
people
insist
on
remaining
informed,
so
they
may
retain
control
over
the
instruments
they
have
created.
AB
Thank
you
for
considering
that
and
I
will
hope.
That's
something
you
can
look
forward
to
discussing
at
some
point.
Thank
you.
N
To
figure
out
who
else
wants
to
speak?
My
name
is
Joanna.
Gary
and
I
want
to
reiterate
what
I
said
earlier
today:
I
brought
the
Redwood
peace
and
Justice
Center
sign
it's
a
historical
P
item
that
our
city
should
be
very
proud
that
we
had
such
a
place
in
the
past.
Doing
really
wonderful
work.
It
would
be
nice
for
us
to
have
a
place
like
that
in
the
future
in
the
near
future.
N
So
if
anybody
wants
to
talk
to
me
about
what
we
could
do
with
the
city
involved
and
other
organizations
that
would
be
great,
I
did
send
an
email
a
few
weeks
ago,
involving
my
concern
about
the
city
still
using
gas,
powered
landscaping
tools
and
trying
to
figure
out.
When
are
we
going
to
transition
to
a
fossil
fuel
free
community
in
regards
to
cutting
grass
and
trimming
Hedges
and
other
things
that
can
be
done
differently?
Because
when
we
didn't
have
such
a
thing
back
in
the
olden
days,
what
did
they
do?
N
Situation
and
I
would
love
the
city
to
declare
a
climate
emergency,
I'd
love
the
city
to
just
get
on
board
and
yell
out
loud
all
the
great
things
they're
doing
to
adapt
and
mitigate
this
climate
crisis
that
we're
facing
it's
not
coming
down
the
road.
It's
been
here
for
a
while,
and
it's
just
getting
worse.
N
So
that's
one
of
my
concerns,
but
before
we
can
even
deal
with
this
climate
thing,
we
need
to
deal
with
the
unhoused
and
the
vulnerable
people
in
our
community
and
I
wrote
to
you
in
my
last
email
about
consideration
of
a
task
force
coming
together
really
soon
so
that
before
winter
comes,
we
can
have
something
really
set
up
to
deal
with
the
crisis
that
we
have
on
the
Plaza
up
in
Valley
West
out
in
the
bushes,
on
the
marsh
and
out
at
Mad
River
at
Carlson
Park
I'm
willing
to
participate
in
such
a
task
force.
M
Yes,
thank
you.
I
want
to
say,
I
know
that
I
often
speak
against
David
lawyer
he's
written
a
lot
of
good
stuff
that
gets
buried
in
the
staff
reports
on
arcata1.com
or
arcata1.com
Council
I've
uncovered
a
lot
of
the
staff
report.
Writings
and
you
can
read
them
there,
there's
a
really
good
description
yeah.
As
of
the
density,
bonus
laws
and
I
this
morning,
I
put
up
a
community
benefits
program.
You
remember
how
excited
we
were
about
the
3D
modeling
and
we're
excited
that
we
were
awaiting
that
that
came
and
disappeared.
M
Now
will
be
a
great
time.
It'd
be
helpful
to
you
and
to
us
to
look
at
that
in
terms
of
form-based
code,
the
on
March
1st.
Here
we
were
promised
inclusionary
zoning
I
urge
you
to
read
the
article
on
arcata1.com
about
inclusionary
zoning.
What's
there
now,
it
just
came
in
when
the
form
base
code.
It
doesn't
resemble
at
all
what
inclusionary
zoning
is
supposed
to
do.
M
West
proposes
not
really
inclusionary
zoning
I
put
up
an
article
yesterday.
It's
gotten
close
to
100
views
already
on
that.
What
I
want
to
talk
about
is
something
that
was
in
the
staff
report.
Regarding
affordable
housing
and
Home
Ownership
opportunities,
which,
as
you
know,
are
big
themes
for
me
on
May
9th
David
wrote
about
home
ownership
opportunities.
There's
three
paragraphs,
I
find
it
very
dense,
so
I
wrote
an
article
about
them
and
I
want
to
tell
you
what
he's
proposed.
M
I
have
a
hard
regard
for
David
in
lots
of
things
he
does,
but
not
in
terms
of
his
grass
of
Economics
of
Home
Building.
He
has
three
paragraphs.
First
paragraph
he
says
we'll
have
homeownership
opportunities,
rents
will
fall,
houses
will
not
be
good,
Investments
and
owners
will
want
to
sell
those
rental
houses.
He
speaks
also
the
student
housing
market.
M
It
says
that
the
cost
of
renting
a
new
apartment
will
be
comparable
to
renting
a
bedroom
in
a
single
family,
home
I.
Don't
think,
that's
ever
going
to
happen.
I
think
houses
may
be
sold,
but
not
for
those
reasons.
The
second
paragraph
he
says
that
the
community
benefit
program
will
give
points
to
building
condos.
M
Community
garden,
so
there's
no
real
incentive
for
Builders
from
that
to
build.
The
third
point
he
makes
is
the
rezoning
that
by
rezoning
Parcels
that
are
now
Industrial
Limited
to
residential
it'll,
open
up
a
lot
of
opportunities
for
single-family
homes,
there's
189
parcels
give
or
take
a
few
in
the
Gateway
Zone
there's
about
101
Parcels
that
are
quarter
acre
or
less,
in
other
words,
that
don't
lend
themselves
to
multi-story
building
the
by
rezoning
these
small
Parcels
that
are
currently
Zone,
Industrial
Limited,
then
in
theory
there'll
be
opportunities
for
single-family
homes
and
townhouses.
M
So
I
looked
it
up.
There
is
exactly
one
vacant
parcel
that
could
be
rezoned
from
Industrial
Limited
to
residential
that
would
afford
a
home
buying
home.
You
know
ownership
opportunity
that
parcel
is
the
parking
lot
for
Eureka
glass.
It's
used
for
to
park
their
trucks
I
think
it's
not
likely
that
that's
going
to
be
given
up.
M
In
other
words,
these
home
ownership
opportunities
that
are
described
are
not
valid.
The
I
spoke
to
the
council
or
the
commission.
Rather,
at
the
very
beginning
and
I
said
we
have
to
think
outside
the
box,
any
normal
way
of
doing
homeownership
opportunities
is
just
not
going
to
work.
Unfortunately,
I
don't
mean
to
be
Doom
and
Gloom,
but
we
have
to
come
up
with
something
new
and
different,
because
the
sander
ways
aren't
happening
when
I
spoke
earlier.
I
may
have
misspoken
I
wanted
to
correct
something.
M
What
I
was
talking
about
is
a
suggestion.
That's
in
the
non-comparting
table
that
the
creamery
District
be
treated
as
a
single
District
in
the
Gateway
area.
Right
now,
it's
split
among
three
different
Gateway
zones.
M
M
M
AA
The
noise
element
is
a
subject
matter,
that's
dear
to
my
heart
that
you've
gotten
a
lot
of
information
on
in
the
last
year
and
a
half
it's
gone
to
the
council,
it's
gone
to
the
city
manager,
it's
gone
to
David
and
basically,
if
I
got
to
spell
it
out
again,
we
have
a
large
percentage
of
vehicles
that
are
changing
their
Emissions
on
their
cars
to
sound
like
f-16s
and
if
you
happen
to
be
living
on
some
of
these
streets,
you're
you're
woken
up
at
all
very
awkward
times
of
the
night
early
mornings.
I've.
AA
Given
you
information
about
studies,
you
know
based
in
Europe,
because
they're
more
concerned
in
the
US,
but
the
U.S
is
catching
up
and
it's
quite
a
bit
of
studies
of
how
premature
deaths
and
people
shaving
off,
maybe
10
years,
and
it's
pretty
disappointing
to
see
no
action,
I've
been
very
patient
with
to
see
something,
that's
going
to
be
done
and
absolutely
nothing's
been
done.
AA
And
what
really
pissed
me
off
this
last
Planning
Commission
meeting
was
that
basically
the
sound,
the
noise
element
and
the
air
element,
they
were
not
going
to
have
time
to
even
look
at
this,
so
I
mean
this
is
just
unacceptable
and
I
guess
they're
blaming
it
on
this.
This
time
frame
that
just
don't
have
time
to
take
care
of
this,
so
I've
basically
have
done
everything
when
I
read
the
law
that
I'm
supposed
to
do
I've
gone
to
all
the
different
departments.
AA
I've
asked
for
your
help
and
I've
got
nothing
so
the
next
step,
I
guess
after
you
know,
I've
been
giving
you
time
because
I
know
how
complicated
government
is
but
seeing
what
the
the
hands
that
were
shown
to
me
by
the
Planning
Commission.
AA
AA
Unfortunately,
that's
the
way
it's
going
to
go
because
I'm,
not
the
only
one,
maybe
I'm
the
person
that
shows
up
and
is
complaining
about
it.
But
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
I've
talked
to
and
they
say:
yeah
I've
changed
my
bedroom
I'm,
not
on
the
front
of
the
house.
I
go
to
the
back.
Yeah
I
have
to
do
all
these
things.
AA
They're,
not
even
aware,
there's
there's
a
law
that
was,
you
know,
basically
passed
by
two
Governors
Brown
and
Newson
about
this
whole
subject
matter,
so
it
isn't
just
Arcata,
it's
throughout
the
whole
state
of
California
and
the
legislative
body
and
two
Governors
felt
that
it
was
pretty
serious
and
they
they
passed
it.
So
what
happened
was
cities
that
jumped
on
this
right
away
and
enforced
it?
AA
You
know
they
got
it
under
control,
because
the
message
was
sent
out
to
these
car
enthusiasts
that
they
can't
do
this,
and
so,
unfortunately
we
let
it
get
out
of
control.
So
that's
where
we're
at.
AC
Oh
good,
okay,
my
name
is
Lisa
Phillips
here
I'm,
calling
in
in
solidarity
with
Central
Del,
Pueblo
and
I
visited
the
sanctuary
Garden
on
that
Saturday
right
after
after
the
vandalism,
it
was
during
the
Oyster
Fest
and
I
saw
council
member
Kimberly
White
there
and
I
heard
that
other
council
members
had
shown
up
the
following
Wednesday
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you.
AC
I
want
to
thank
you
for
showing
up,
because
I
think
that's
really
important
and
I
also
want
to
thank
you
for
allocating
five
thousand
dollars
to
set
up
a
security
system.
It's
extremely
important
and
I
think
the
city
should
make
it
a
priority
to
to
find
out
who
this
individual
is.
Who
is
committing
these
crimes
and
to
bring
him
to
account,
and
you
know
we
many
of
us
worked
very
hard
on
the
sanctuary
to
pass
the
sanctuary
initiative
and
this
makes
mockery
of
it.
We
we
got
a
sanctuary.
AC
We
got
the
city
council
to
pass
the
sanctuary
ordinance
and
then
we
got
the
county
to
pass
the
sanctuary
ordinance,
but
it
means
nothing
if
these
acts
are
allowed
to
continue
and
and
community
members
are
being
terrorized.
So
I
just
urge
you
to
make
this.
You
know
a
very
to
to
get
the
police
department
to
to
do
everything
in
their
power
to
catch
this
person
and
bring
them
to
account
and
to
support
the
people
in
our
community.
Who
are
you
know,
living
in
fear
and
afraid
to
go
to
the
Garden?
AC
It's
it's
just
not
right.
So
thank
you
for
your
efforts
and
we
have
to
do
better.
We
all
have
to
do
better
as
a
community.
Thank
you
very
much.
Bye-Bye.
A
Z

Despite
the
Transportation
safety
committee's
numerous
recommendations,
staff
continues
to
push
the
K
and
L
couplet.
The
community
development
director
stated
that
he
would
update
the
draft
general
plan
with
all
committee
recommendations,
except
for
their
recommendation
against
the
couplet.
My
question
is:
do
City
committee
guidelines
state
that
it
is
acceptable
for
the
community
development
director
to
censor
the
committees
or
decide
what
committee
inputs
should
be
elevated
to
the
Planning,
Commission
and
city
council?
Z
Z
A
All
right
that
takes
us
to
council
and
staff
reports
staff
are
there
any
staff
updates
all
right.
C
Okay,
yes,
I
was
just
wondering:
did
you
have
any
updates
on
the
motel
Bridge
housing
beyond
what
was
in
the
time
standard
article
by
any
chance,
the
motel
housing
out
in
Valley
West
for
Cal
Poly.
L
They
are
my
update
from
from
Cal
Poly.
Is
that?
Well
we
had
a
liaison
meeting,
so
a
couple
of
you
were
there
also
they're,
still
refining
their
numbers.
I
think
we
can
be
guaranteed
that
they
are
going
to
be
releasing
the
comfort
in
there
is
still
a
chance
that
they
may
be
leasing
another
one
I,
don't
think
they
will
be
leasing,
another
three,
so
I.
You
know.
J
So
I
may
have
confused
things
because
I
did
I
was
reading
a
letter
on
legislation
that
the
mayor
wrote
and,
and
then
I
have
been
told
that
there
will
only
be
the
Comfort
end
this
year.
It
doesn't
mean
that
it
will
only
be
the
Comfort
Inn
next
year,
but
this
year
it's
only
the
Comfort.
J
Inn
is
my
understanding
when
I
have
spoken
to
the
housing,
people
and
I
did
send
that
out
as
a
text
message
after
I
I
read
the
Marisol
letter
on
legislation
so
I
just
so,
I
included
everybody,
but
not
all
the
staff.
So
sorry
for
the
rest
of
you
out
there,
but
I
just
wanted
you
to
know
that,
because
I've
been
checking
on
that
because
I've
been
curious
because
it's
something
the
The
Visitor
Center
has
been
asking.
J
A
All
right,
then,
we
will
come
up
here
to
council
updates
Alex.
You
were
already
given
us
updates.
J
So
we'll
start
with
you
and
we'll
move,
so
one
of
one
of
the
things
I've
been
thinking
about
is
and
I've
been
asking
for
the
housing
meeting
for
quite
some
time
it's
about
Condominiums
and
how
we
can
have
condominiums
in
our
communities
and
within
the
whole
state
for
ownership
within
the
state
of
California.
J
So
there
is
a
way
to
actually
do
that
and
I
think
that
we
have
developers
that
are
going
to
be
interested
in
and
making
that
happen,
and
so
I
do
see
the
possibility
for
condominiums
in
our
future
and
it's
a
it's
a
program
called
ocip.
It's
an
insurance
policy
held
by
a
property
owner
during
construction
or
renovation
of
a
property
which
typically
covers
design
and
virtually
all
liability
for
construction
projects.
J
J
I
feel
like
one
of
the
other
things
I
I
thought
was
a
good
idea.
Is
the
Planning
Commission
has
decided
to
meet
a
half
an
hour
earlier
so
that
they
are
able
to
meet
with
all
the
public
comment,
they've
been
receiving
and
so
they're
no
longer
going
to
be
meeting
at
six
or
having
a
special
meeting
at
5
30.
from
now
on,
they
will
meet
at
5
30.,
so
I
I
think
that's
good
and
I.
J
Also
I
know
that
we
have
comments
all
the
time
you
know
about
houselessness
Etc,
but
we
have
to
think
about
how,
within
probably
what
18
months
or
so
two
years
we've
been
able
to
create
140,
New,
Living
units
for
homeless
and
I.
Think
that's
amazing,
and
to
think
about
what
Arcata
house
is
going
to
be
able
to
do
in
the
future
as
far
as
the
critical
shelters
and
how
they've
been
able
to
create
a
space
for
that
so
I
think
things
are
coming
along,
but
of
course
homelessness.
J
If
you
read
the
paper-
and
there
was
an
article
in
it
today-
it's
a
massive
all
over
the
United
States,
and
so
we
are
doing
well
and
Arcata
house
is
one
of
the
Premier
ones
providing
housing
and
do
making
strides
great
strides
and
the
houselessness.
So
I
would
like
to
condemn.
Commend
them
for
that.
Not
condemn,
commend
them.
I
brought
this
up
before
and
I
know.
J
So
but
I
still
would
like
to
see
the
traffic
and
safety
committees
combined.
We
have
an
opening
on
the
traffic
committee
or
we
did
at
our
last
council
meeting.
One
and
Safety
Committee
has
four
members,
which
means
they
have
four
members
needed
on
their
committee.
If
you
still
have
a
seven
member
committee
and
I
would
like
to
have
that
put
on
the
agenda
or
however
you'd
like
to
have
handle
that
madam
there
but
I
think
it's
something
we
should
look
at.
J
J
It's
just
the
way
it
is
on
developments
and
it's
happening
all
over
California
and
I
think
we'll
be
on
the
list
because
we
start
with
an
A,
and
so
when
they
have
inclusionary
zoning
in
the
future,
we
will
be
the
A
and
Benicia
will
be
the
B
and
I'll
just
go
on
down
with
all
the
other.
What
is
there
now
400
and
some
odd
cities
in
California?
Maybe
430
there's
a
lot.
Oh,
it's
more!
Okay!
Well,
it's
under
450,
I
hope,
no
475.
J
475,
that's
a
lot
of
cities,
considering
how
the
growth
has
happened.
So
you
think
about
that
and
and
the
overall
scheme
of
things
how
California
has
grown
here
and
there.
And
then
these
entities
have
decided
like
McKinley
Bill,
maybe
come
another
city
and
how
they
see
the
growth
in
an
agricultural
area,
which
is
what
McKinleyville
was
and
how
it's
turned
into
now:
a
commercial
center
Etc
and
how
they
will
one
day
be
a
city.
So
we'll
have
eight
cities
in
Humboldt
County
instead
of
seven.
J
So
that's
the
only
thing.
I
know
we
are
having
a
little
problem
with
the
postmaster
in
Arcata,
but
because
of
trying
to
figure
out
delivery
for
mail
and-
and
you
I
know
that
you
know
that
Meredith
and
I've
I've
been
called
twice
today
on
it.
So
I'm
thinking
e
gods,
but
I.
What
I
tried
to
explain
is
postmasters
change
and
they
change
almost
every
year
in
Arcata,
there's
always
someone
new
and
they
come
in
and
they
have
different
ideas
and
different
ways.
J
C
Okay,
I
will
stick
to
Council
report,
but
since
we
did
deviate
just
a
little
bit,
I'm
just
gonna
real,
quick
jump
in
with
one
thing,
Greg
I
saw
on
the
Nextdoor
app
yesterday
an
entire
Thread
about
a
resident,
a
parent
who
lives
either
on
spear
or
Alliance
he's
18.
and
apparently
people
were
moved
because
he
had
the
consideration
to
ask
like
hey.
Is
there
a
good
time
that
I
can
have
some
fun?
Is
there
a
good
day,
but
apparently
he's
removed
his
Muffler?
He
speeds
up
and
down
the
street
and
yeah.
C
So
there's
a
lot
of
people
out
there
concerned
about
the
noise
so
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
you
know
that
you're,
not
a
lone
wolf
in
that
I
got
to
go
to
a
climate
conference.
Super
excited
and
I
wanted
to
say
to
Joanne.
It
was
Jam
impact
with
information
about
climate,
Justice
and
equity
and
resilience
and
a
whole
bunch
more.
But
I
wanted
to
respond
to
your
concerns
that
I
do
have
some
ideas
of
how
we
can
do
some
things
locally.
C
How
we
can
do
some
things
here,
locally
I
know
that
you've
been
talking
about
how
we
might
replace
the
gas
Mower
and
other
ways
that
we
can.
You
know
act
as
if
we
are
in
a
climate
crisis,
because
we
are,
we
had
a
ribbon
cutting
at
the
Grove.
Excuse
me
at
the
West
Village
Studios
and
they
have
78
units
total
and
there's
currently
about
a
little
over
50
that
are
currently
occupied.
It
was
super.
C
Exciting
I
did
attend
a
homeless
housing
work
working
group
today
and
did
get
some
updates
on
the
Grove
received
some
safe
parking
updates.
So
so
far
now
we're
at
93
individuals
that
have
served
I
did
get
to
volunteer
at
Central
de
Pueblo's
Garden
on
Saturday
before
I
went
to
the
climate
conference.
Let's
see
what
else
Cuda
project
of
playhouse
Arts
had
another
their
fifth
a
successful
participatory
budget
project,
which
was
at
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
Visitor
Center
kuna
has
another
upcoming
participatory
budget
coming
up
at
the
West
Village
Studios,
the
new
home
key
project.
C
C
We,
let's
see
oh
kuna,
will
be
doing
a
community
barbecue
for
both
home
key
projects
as
well
as
Cal
Poly
Humboldt.
However
many
hotels
they
have
decided
to
use
for
their
Bridge
housing,
and
so
what
else?
Oh
I'd
like
to
wish
everyone
a
happy
summer,
solstice
and
I-
think
that's
all
I
have
for
him.
C
J
Well,
I
just
think
we
we
could
take
a
lead
or
think
about
it
as
far
as
insurance
and
how
that
affects
housing,
and
especially
housing
for
home
ownership
in
the
state
of
California
and
I'm,
wondering
if
we
can't
actually
start
to
address
that
with
our
legislators
about
condominium
insurance
and
how
we
could
make
that
better
for
more
ownership
housing.
So
that's
my
feeling,
sorry.
A
Okay,
I
feel,
like
my
big
fun
meetings,
are
always
after
our
Council
meetings,
but
some
looking
forward
because
it
was
brought
up
again
tonight
too.
Our
cea
will
have
a
an
update
on
the
climate
action
plan
at
our
next
meeting
tomorrow.
A
And
so,
if
you
are
interested
in
learning
about
that
from
the
rcea
perspective,
you
could
tune
in
on
Zoom
or
come
down
to
the
Jefferson
Community
Center
at
3
30.,
and
then
also
some
really
exciting,
updates
at
our
cea
on
the
rural
Ren,
the
resilient
energy
Network,
which
is
actually
kind
of
like
a
northern
California
multi-county
program.
A
That
rcea
has
kind
of
been
chosen
as
the
lead
Agency
on
which
is
super
exciting,
and
so,
hopefully
that
funding
is
going
through
and
we
will
be
working
with
other
counties
in
Northern
California
on
different
energy
resiliency
projects,
which
is
super
exciting
and,
of
course,
it's
budget
season,
so
we're
all
adopting
our
budgets
and
then
Meredith
and
I
attended
the
Cal
Poly
liaison
meeting
just
a
lot
of
great
updates
on
just
how
they
are
doing
on
their
different
Capital
Improvement
projects.
A
The
one
exciting
takeaway
I
had
is
that
the
Trinity
Hospital
Children's
Center
will
be
open
by
the
next
school
year.
They're
looking
to
open
that
up
sometime
in
early
August
I
think
August
7th
was
the
date
that
they
gave.
So
it's
really
exciting.
The
first
of
kind
of
these
major
improvements
over
there
coming
to
fruition
and
what
they've
done
with
the
building
at
the
old
Trinity
Hospital
site
is
just
it's
beautiful
and
it
looks
great,
and
so
that
will
be
a
wonderful
space
for
them
to
use
there
and
I.
A
Don't
know
if
you
have
other
things
out
on
that
and
then
the
last
piece
I'll
add
that
Karen
and
I
today
attended
the
equity
Arcata
advisory
team
meeting,
which
was
a
long
one
today,
while
we're
kind
of
working
through
some
of
the
restructuring
that
Equity
Arcata
will
be
going
through
with
some
new
board
members
Etc.
But
we
did
have
a
good
discussion
about
how
Equity
Arcata
can
kind
of
act
as
a
forum
to
be
able
to
have
some
of
these
conversations
about.
A
With
the
sanctuary
garden
and
everything
in
Arcata
and
so
hoping
to
work
more
with
city
manager
and
with
the
rest
of
that
Equity
Arcata
team,
to
start
to
have
some
of
those
kind
of
public
forums
to
be
able
to
host
these
conversations
and
brainstorm
ideas
and
actually
be
able
to
kind
of
come
up
with
solutions
that
aren't
just
you
know,
send
police
surveillance
and
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
hopefully
continuing
that
work
with
them
and
with
Equity
Arcata.
So
it
was
a
really
productive,
exciting
meeting
today
and
I
think
that's
all
I
have.
G
G
Been
celebrated
before
they
did
an
amazing
job.
Bringing
Oysterfest
back
to
the
plaza,
also
remind
everybody.
There
is
a
pride
March
in
Ferndale
on
Sunday
I
hope
everybody
will
come
join
me
and
stand
in
solidarity
with
our
2s
lgbtqai
plus
community,
in
shower
support
down
in
Ferndale.
And
if
we
don't
remember
after
this
there's
no
meeting
in
the
first
meeting
of
July,
we
don't
have
a
first
meeting
in
July
enjoy.
E
So
a
couple
of
things
the
chamber
is
looking
for
volunteers
for
the
Fourth
of
July,
Jubilee
and
I
can
tell
you
these
events
take
lots
of
volunteers.
There
were
so
many
people,
volunteering
at
Oysterfest
and
I
know
they're
going
to
need
a
lot
for
Jubilee.
So
if
you
want
to
get
involved,
do
that
and
my
report
from
H
Cog
is
that
I
got
to
attend
the
groundbreaking
ceremony
for
the
Indianola
underpass,
and
that
was
very
exciting.
E
Although
you
know,
I've
only
served
for
two
and
a
half
years
on
hcog
and
that
is
a
20
plus
year
project
in
the
making.
So
it's
been,
you
know
a
lot
of
community
input
and
participation
in
that,
so
that
will
definitely
make
that
strip
of
Highway
much
safer.
So
that's
pretty
exciting
and
just
to
end
the
note
with
a
sense
of
humor,
because
I
think
it's
rude
to
talk
to
each
other
with
your
microphone
off.
E
A
C
Yeah
I'm
hoping
we
can
do
a
moment
of
silence
for
Jessica
McGinty
and
as
Mad
River
Union
news
put
it
our
local
genius
inventor
and
entrepreneur,
she's
the
founder
of
Jesse
curl,
and
she
did
pass
away
recently
without
not
without
a
fight
she
initially
Jesse
curl
operated
out
of
her
home
North
Coast
Small
Business
Development
helped
her
write
a
business
plan
so
that
she
could
get
a
loan
from
our
Economic
Development
Corporation
to
buy
equipment.
C
She
moved
her
business
out
of
her
home
in
early
2000
into
the
current
factory
out
in
West
End
Road
in
Valley
West
soon
Jessica
Jessie
Crow
began
marketing
all
over
the
world
growing
a
solid
and
loyal
customer
base.
She
made
appearances
from
Canadian
television
to
the
Rachel
Ray
show,
but
Jesse
Crowe
was
more
about
a
lot
more
than
just
hair
was
also
about
human
rights.
She
made
donations
to
a
long
list
of
organizations
Inc,
including
Stop.
C
C
She
wrote
an
advice
column
for
the
North
Coast
journal
and
in
February
this
year,
2023
Jessie
curl
celebrated
its
20th
anniversary
of
providing
its
full
line
of
hair
products
for
people
with
curly
hair
I'm,
going
to
end
with
a
quote
from
her
husband
Chris,
he
said,
I
believe
Jessie's
story,
Jess's,
Story
and
Legacy
is
not
just
about
Jesse
curl,
but
about
the
people
she
touched
and
the
love
she
gave
to
so
many
individuals.
She
has
inspired
people
all
over
the
world
with
her
empowering
trademark
motto
of
you
have
the
right
to
remain
curly.
