From YouTube: Arcata City Council Meeting - 9/20/2023
Description
City of Arcata Live Stream
A
A
I'm
just
kidding
okay
good
evening
and
thank
you
for
attending
and
viewing
the
September
20th
meeting
of
the
Arcata
city
council.
The
city
council
meeting
is
held
as
a
hybrid
meeting,
with
both
in-person
attendance
and
teleconference
access
via
Zoom.
Our
first
item
this
evening
is
a
land
acknowledgment
and
it
will
be
read
by
council
member
White.
B
The
city
of
Arcata
acknowledges
that
the
lands
we
are
located
are
on
the
unseated
ancestral
lands
of
the
weak
tribe.
The
land
that
are
key
to
rests
on
is
known
in
the
wiiat
language
as
Houdini,
meaning
over
in
the
woods
or
among
the
Redwoods
past
actions
by
local
state
and
federal
governments
remove
the
we
are
and
other
indigenous
peoples
from
the
land
and
threaten
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
All
right
and
before
the
city
clerk
calls
the
roll
this
evening.
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
and
recognize
council
member
Atkins
Salazar
is
not
here
because
she
is
at
the
California
League
of
cities
conference
and
has
just
been
sworn
in
as
their
second
vice
president
for
our
region
up
here.
So
that's
very
exciting
and
we
congratulate
her
on
that
and
miss
her
this
evening.
So
will
the
city
clerk
please
call
the
roll.
A

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

please
line
up
at
the
podium
or
raise
your
electronic
hand
as
soon
as
comment
is
being
requested
for
that
item.
Our
next
item
tonight
is
our
ceremonial
matters,
and
we
have
one
this
evening,
which
is
a
proclamation
in
honor
of
the
North
Coast
Stand
Down
October
5th
through
7th
2023,
and
this
will
be
read
by
council
member
Stillman.
D
The
council
encourages
all
veterans
and
their
families
in
need
of
services
to
attend
the
2023
North
Coast
Sandown
on
Thursday
October
5th
through
Saturday
October
7th
at
the
Humboldt
County
Fairgrounds
in
Ferndale.
It
stated
September,
20th,
2023
and
it's
signed
by
mayor,
Schaefer
and
I
believe
Ann
Poole
is
here
to
accept
it.
D
E
You
Madam
mayor
and
city
council.
Thank
you
for
honoring
us
again
for
this
and
I'll
give
you
just
a
little
background
on
the
stand
down.
This
is
our
18th
year.
Originally,
it
was
started
to
honor
the
Vietnam
veterans.
Coming
back.
Our
government
back
in
those
days
didn't
give
our
veterans
very
much
to
pretend
to
pretend
to
work.
E
What
I
want
to
say:
I
want
to
say
to
give
themselves
some
support,
and
so
the
stand
down
was
started
so
that
they
would
have
a
place
to
go
things
for
outreach
and
a
place
to
relax
and
be
amongst
their
own
I've.
Been
doing
this
now.
I
believe
this
is
my
11th
year
and
once
you
just
get
hooked
into
it,
it's
so
heartwarming
to
see
these
fellas,
particularly
the
homeless,
that
come
in
through
those
Gates
kind
of
beat
up
and
tired
and
they
get
in
there.
They
get
a
shower.
E
E
E
If
you'd
like
to
come
in
volunteer,
you
don't
have
to
register
in
advance,
you
can
just
come
register
at
the
front
desk
and
they
will
find
a
spot.
We
give
them
three
full
meals
a
day.
We
have
different
organizations
that
cook
a
breakfast,
a
lunch
or
a
dinner,
there's
housing
for
overnight
there's
showers
and
in
three
days
it's
a
miracle,
so
I
think
I.
Thank
you
again.
A
Thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
for
being,
you
know,
part
of
and
helping
such
a
wonderful
event.
So
we're
glad
we
can
recognize
you
guys
all
right.
Our
next
item
will
take
us.
We
have
no
reports
by
commissioner
committee
tonight
and
that
will
take
us
to
early
oral
Communications.
So
the
city
council
values
your
comments,
and
this
is
a
15
minute
time
period
to
allow
people
to
address
the
Council
on
matters
not
on
the
agenda.
A
Know
that,
pursuant
to
the
brown
act,
the
council
cannot
discuss
or
take
action
on
items
that
are
not
listed
on
the
posted
agenda
and
at
the
end
of
all
oral
Communications.
The
council
May
respond
to
statements
supported
requests
that
require
Council
action
will
be
set
for
a
future
agenda
or
referred
to
staff.
Speakers
will
be
limited
to
two
minutes.
A
F
Good
evening,
I'm
Fred
wise
I
want
to
address
my
comments
to
all
four
or
five
on
the
city
council.
Even
though
two
members
are
accused
from
participating
in
the
discussion
on
the
Gateway
plan,
we
have
the
general
plan
to
consider.
Also
August
22nd
was
the
initial
joint
study
session
of
the
Gateway
every
plan
the
next
is
set
for
next
week.
September
26th,
the
first
meeting,
went
well
in
some
ways,
not
so
well
in
other
ways.
F
Perhaps
the
idea
that
the
council
can
meet
with
the
Planning
Commission
to
discuss
the
aspects
of
the
Gateway
plan
in
just
two
study
sessions
seems
I'll,
say
absolutely
ridiculous
to
me.
Why
not
meet
for
four
or
five
sessions,
there's
just
too
much
to
do
that
you
can
do
in
two
or
three
hours
in
discussions
with
the
Planning
Commission.
In
my
view,
my
first
questions
are:
is
this
next
study
session
going
to
be
a
hybrid
meeting?
Will
it
be
recorded
on
video
we'll
be
a
recording
available
to
the
public?
F
If
not,
please
tell
me,
I
will
make
other
plans
and
take
care
of
this.
I
wrote
to
you
yesterday
a
new
article
on
arcade1.com
about
the
state
density
bonus
law
situation
in
July.
A
community
development
director
concluded
his
video
with
the
bombshell
that
our
Gateway
code
and
our
community
benefits
program
are
quote
unlikely
to
be
implemented.
F
I
consider
this
at
utmost
importance
to
be
taken
care
of
immediately
I'd
like
to
know
when
the
draft
environmental
impact
report,
when
we
won't
be
seeing
that
it's
been
delayed
multiple
times,
it's
now
scheduled
for
the
fall,
and
it
is
October.
There's
a
new
article
on
arcade1.com
about
the
mayor
of
Bratislava
Slovakia.
He
is
an
architect
as
well
as
in
there,
and
he
said
if
you
design
better
public
spaces,
you
change
the
relationship
the
residents
have
with
the
city
and
also
the
relationship
they
have
with
each
other.
G
It
was
that
no
trash
was
generated,
so
45
magic
tricks
happened
at
the
North
country
fair
this
weekend,
I'm
hoping
that
more
will
do
so
in
future
events-
and
this
brings
me
to
the
issue
that
we
really
need
to
focus
on
Waste
Management
in
a
much
more
intensive
manner
for
festivals
and
just
even
daily
use
of
our
facilities
and
the
trash
cans
that
are
spread
out
throughout
town
and
I.
G
Just
would
love
to
actually
have
a
day
without
a
trash
can
but
have
programs
in
place
to
provide
people
with
alternative
ideas
of
how
to
not
fill
up
a
trash.
Can
so
I've
been
very
pleased
that
the
North
Country
Fair
allowed
me
to
try
this
at
the
fair
and
I
think
we
really
can
do
something
to
make
Trash
keep
the
trash
cans
emptier
in
our
community
on
an
ongoing
basis
and
I'd
love
to
work
with
anybody.
Who'd
like
to
work
with
me
on
seeing
that
happen.
Thank
you.
H
Good
evening
Gregory
Daggett
I
wanted
to
address
the
study
session.
The
plan
commission
and
city
council
got
together
for
the
key
world.
Word
is
study
session.
It
seemed
to
me
and
others
that
it
was
more
of
a
tax
session
towards
Kimberly
and
the
same
there
was
the
framework
seemed
to
be.
We
want
to
understand
your
position.
H
Well,
I
think
the
public
wants
to
understand
the
rest
of
yours
position
from
the
standpoint
of
sea
level
rise
and
the
standpoint
of
the
fire
I
think
it
for
a
year
and
a
half
I've
written
and
also
spoke
of
this
quite
a
few
times
and
I
I,
don't
recall
ever
having
a
discussion
from
anyone
that
has
that
perspective
of
let's
develop
in
the
coastal
zone.
Where
you
know
we
have
the
federal
government
saying
Noah
saying
this
is
in
a
very
wise
decision,
but
we
seem
to
never
have
that
discussion.
H
Experts
come
into
this
chamber,
and
that
was
your
opportunity
to
ask
questions,
but
we
haven't
had
any
discussion
and
from
the
standpoint
of
the
fire
district
I
mean
I
thought
they
were
pretty
clear
in
January
when
they
came
in
here
and
they
clearly
said
anything
over
three
stories
was
not
okay
with
them
from
the
standpoint
that
it's
just
they
it's
too
risky
from
this,
where
they
had
Sorrel
place,
they
had
two
fires
there
and
it
isn't.
The
I
wanted
to
do
some
correction
here.
H
It
isn't
the
fire,
that's
the
it's
the
harm,
it's
the
spoke
smoke
that
kills
people.
So
if
you
think
it's
all
about
the
fire
you're
just
wrong.
So
if,
if
you
don't
agree
with
that,
just
bring
the
fire
department
back
here,
I,
don't
think
they
ever
reported
in
front
of
this
Council
I
think
it
was
just
the
Planning
Commission.
So
maybe
maybe
not
all
of
you
are
in
tune
with
what
they
said,
but
I
think
it's
it's
it's
time
for
you
to
like
readdress
all
of
that
and
also
our
developers.
J
Hi
there
I
first
of
all,
want
to
thank
Joanne
McGarry
for
doing
this
experiment,
and
it's
something
that
I
think
we
should
consider
promoting.
J
She
has
worked
very
hard
over
the
years
to
promote
avoidance,
to
promote
zero
waste
and
she
has
a
viable
alternative
and
we
had
to
find
a
way
to
implement
that
across
the
board
anyway.
I
just
want
to
thank
her
for
that.
I
also
want
to
comment
that
I
was
very
sorry
to
see
chief
chief
Ahern
going
to
leave
us
in
the
paper
and
he's
been
great
and
he
has
been
very
available,
very
accessible
and
very
friendly
and,
and
we
are
losing
someone
who
is
very
oriented
toward
Team,
community,
policing
and
I
hope.
J
Whoever
replaces
him
is
comparable
and
Carries
on
those
values.
He's
he's
been
a
gem
and,
aside
from
that,
in
terms
of
next
week's
session,
I
do
hope.
We
conduct
it
as
a
discussion
and
include
members
of
the
public
with
the
ability
to
ask
questions
if
we
do
create
that
circular
pattern,
where
people
of
all
you
know
you,
the
Planning,
Commission
and
the
public,
can
all
sit
in
that
Circle.
We've
done
this
before.
J
J
Thank
you
very
much.
We
look
forward
to
the
session
next
week
and
and
thank
you
by
the
way
for
backing
the
L
Street,
while
the
L
Street
pathway
at
the
park
not
having
it
as
a
street.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Right
well,
that
will
be
the
end
of
early
oral
Communications
and
that
will
take
us
now
to
the
consent.

the

considered
to
be
routine

council

these
items

A
Do
we
have
any
council
members
that
would
like
to
remove
an
item
from
the
consent
calendar
yeah
I'd
like
to
pull
C,
please
thank
you!
We'll
pull
C
any
items
that
staff
would
like
to
pull
or
members
of
the
public.
So
if
you
have,
if
you
want
to
pull
it,
come
on
up
to
the
podium
and
hang
out
nearby,
because
we're
gonna
be
hearing
from
you
in
a
second
we'll
need
you
at
the
microphone.
A
H
A
So
we're
gonna,
pull
mg
and
you'll
have
your
chance
to
comment
on
that.
Okay,
so
do
we
have
then
a
motion
for
items,
a
d,
e,
f
and
H,
so
move
Stillman?
Second,
okay,
so
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
all
in
favor.
D
G
So
I
appreciate
pulling
this
item
because
I,
sometimes
at
the
last
minute,
I'm
running
my
eyes
through
the
cash
disbursement
list
on
the
agenda
packet
and
I,
just
have
a
question
in
regards
to
a
couple
times.
I
see
the
same
amount
to
the
same
organization
right
next
to
each
other
and
the
only
distinction,
maybe
is
some
sort
of
a
number
and
so
the
two
that
I'm
going
to
pull
out
just
as
an
example.
It's
not
because
I'm
pulling
them
out
because
I'm
concerned
about
it.
G
K
K
So
we
do
have
multiple
levels
of
looking
at
that
and
if
I
can
get
with
you
and
and
pull
those
exact
ones,
and
if
you
give
me
a
day,
I
can
even
send
you
a
copy
of
the
invoice
yeah.
That's.
G
A
A
Yet
okay
cool
then
do
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
for
Item
B.
A
L
Pulling
that
yeah,
sadly
I
need
to
amend
this
well
guys
no
longer
wishes
to
be
reappointed
to
the
EDC.
Thank
you
for
your
service.
For
as
long
as
you
have
I
know,
you
were
a
great
addition
and
we
appreciate
all
you've
brought
to
the
EDC
and
totally
understand
that
you've
got
other
things
to
do
so.
That
being
said,
I'd
like
to
move
to
reappoint
Malik
Monique
Molina
to
the
economic
development
committee
for
a
new
three-year
term,
ending
September,
30th
2026..
L
A
M
H
Item
G
I
think
this
is
the
issue
that
we've
talked
about
in
the
past.
Were
you
pulling
2.5
million
2.5
million
from
waste
and
water?
The
first
thing
is
that
I
think
when
you
raise
the
rates,
was
this
one
of
the
reasons
that
you
raise
the
rates
you
seem
to
want
to
be
transparent
to
the
public
on
what
these
costs
were
for
and
I,
don't
believe
it
had
anything
to
do
with
pension
supplements.
So
there's
that
issue,
and
but
the
next
issue
is:
is
it
legal
to
do
this?
I
mean
I'm?
H
A
A
Mean
this
is
just
for
like
Authority,
for
them
to
be
able
to
take
money
out
of
the
account
we
already
made
the
account.
So
that's
that's
kind
of
buying
by
and
I
trust
our
finance
director's
Direction
on
that
actually
already
voted
on
it
and
yeah
it's
the
vote.
So
we
have
a
motion
on
the
table.
Yeah.
A
D
G
Thank
you
when
I
saw
the
agenda
posted
on
Friday
and
that
the
item
I
on
the
consent
calendar
was
renewing
a
five-year
lease
for
the
Annex
Building
near
the
transit
center
for
five
years
to
Arcata
house
I
hadn't
realized
that
the
lease
was
up
and
in
reading
some
of
the
fine
print,
but
not
all
of
it,
because
my
eyes
and
brain
can't
function
well
with
a
lot
of
that
legal
language.
G
But
I
noticed
that
the
lease
apparently
ran
out
on
June
30th
of
this
year
and
I'm
just
wondering
how
is
there
holding
over
there
was
a
clause
about
holding
over
and
how
that's,
working
and
I
would
also
like
to
suggest
before
we
involve
ourselves
in
a
long-term
lease
commitment
to
one
organization.
G
G
I
would
really
like
us
to
step
back
a
moment
before
we
approve
a
long-term
lease
with
one
organization
and
maybe
reconsider,
as
I
shared
with
you
in
an
email,
a
different
model
of
looking
at
that
space
and
how
it
could
better
serve
our
community,
perhaps,
and
so
it's
more
about
just
relying
on
one
organization
and
giving
them
a
long-term
lease
on
something
when
we
might
find,
we
can
create
something
more
vibrant
and
better
for
our
community.
G
I
Foreign
ly,
if
the
council
wants
to
look
at
additional
service
providers
in
the
area
that
is
I
would
say
a
separate
discussion,
I
mean
I,
guess
I
would
offer.
We've
had
a
long-term
lease
Arrangement
and
a
tremendous
amount
of
services
and
Grant
monies
that
are
dedicated
to
Services
through
our
Cata
house.
Partnership
in
that
site,
right
now,
while
I
understand
five
years,
does
feel
like
a
long
time.
I
Sometimes,
quite
frankly,
five
years
seems
like
a
very
short
lease
to
me
in
terms
of
really
ramping
up
to
figure
out
what
other
services
would
be
provided
over.
I'd
say
the
many
years
that
Arcata
house
has
partnered
on
that
site.
I
have
seen
them
be
very
open
to
sharing
space
for
with
other
agencies
and
services.
I
In
that
you
know
within
that
space,
if
they
don't
have
overlapping
conflicts,
so
they
have
made
that
space
available
for
a
lot
of
other
County
Services
to
work
out
of
Open
Door
Clinic
to
work
out
of
the
mobile
showers
to
work
out
of
so
I
mean
I.
Think
they'll
be
can
find
ways
to
still
utilize
that
facility
if
there
are
other
service
providers
that
have
services
that
the
city
wants
to
support
out.
A
D
A
second,
so
we
do
or
do
do
we,
oh
I,
so
move
for
ice
approval
of
I
item
on
the
consent,
calendar.
C
A
All
right
motion
carries
unanimously
and
that
will
take
us
into
new
business
and
so
item.
A
under
new
business.
This
evening
is
to
award
a
contract
or
the
amount
of
154
890
to
ghd
for
Arcata
sea
level,
rise
vulnerability
and
adaptation
planning
services
and
to
authorize
the
city
manager
to
execute
all
the
clickable
documents.
So
do
we
have
a
staff
report
from
Environmental
Services
director,
Emily
sinkhorn.
M
Foreign,
so
again,
good
evening,
the
city
has
really
right.
Now,
several
sea
level
rise
planning
efforts
moving
forward
concurrently
and
this
item
before
you
today
is
around
a
contract
award
for
a
grant
that
your
Council
accepted
back
in
May
from
the
California
Coastal
commission
and
that
grant
program
that
is
funding.
M
This
is
intended
to
provide
assistance
to
local
governments
that
are
undergoing
or
managing
local
Coastal
programs,
and
so
the
work
that
is
really
proposed
for
this
study
will
inform
not
only
our
Capital
Improvement
planning
in
the
city,
but
will
also
really
inform
our
LCP
updates.
That
is
currently
happening
happening
now.
M
I
think
one
of
the
one
of
the
key
things
about
this
Grant
and
our
proposed
tasks
is
that
it
really
is
going
to
build
off
of
Prior
studies.
We've
had
a
lot
of
local
expertise,
focused
in
Humboldt,
Bay
and
also
recently,
more
detailed,
hydraulic
modeling
in
other
parts
of
the
bay
and
using
those
similar
tools
to
bring
some
of
those
more
decision-making
options
to
Arcata.
Shoreline
is
one
thing
that
will
be
advancing
and
building
off
of
Prior
studies.
M
You
know,
as
I
said,
the
a
key
goal
is
to
really
develop
an
adaptation
plan
that
will
then
inform
more
decision
making
around
potential
sea
level
rise,
adaptation
for
especially
for
Capital
Improvement
projects,
essential
infrastructure,
and
so
when
we
we
received
that
Grant
this
summer
in
August,
we
re
we
put
out
a
request
for
qualifications
to
find
an
engineering
consultant
to
work
on
the
technical
aspects
of
the
modeling
and
Engineering
assessment.
We
received
one
proposal
from
ghd
with
a
subcontracting
with
Northern
hydrology,
engineering's,
Jeff
Anderson
and
both
Brett
Vivian
and
Jeff.
M
Since
we
do
have
a
number
of
sea
level
rise
planning
efforts,
this
study
will
really
inform
you
know
those
other
efforts
that
are
ongoing,
a
key
one
of
which
is
the
feasibility
study
for
future
major
phases
of
the
wastewater
treatment
plant,
and
so
that
work
is
being
funded
separately
from
funding
from
the
state
water
board,
and
we
have
technical
assistance
from
the
rural
community,
Assistance
Corporation
rcac,
and
that
work
we
versus
we
put
out
a
request
for
qualifications
earlier
this
summer
and
that
went
out
really
broadly.
M
We
are
in
the
final
sort
of
steps
of
procurement
for
a
consultant
for
that
study
and
I
X
and
rcac
is
the
third
party.
That's
leading
this.
So
I
expect
that
we'll
have
next
steps
from
rcac
here
in
the
next
week
or
two.
M
For
that
you
know,
one
of
the
main
goals
is
really
to
meet
the
California
Coastal
commission's
special
condition
that
they
included
in
our
wastewater
treatment
plant
phase,
one
study
to
complete
a
coastal
hazards,
adaptation
and
implementation
plan,
and
so
this
study
will
really
be
informing
the
work
that
the
feasibility
study
will
be
doing
Focus,
specifically
around
Coastal
hazards.
N
We're
really
excited
about
the
opportunity
and
looking
forward
to
working
with
the
city
and
as
always
with
with
nag,
so
the
study
area
you
can
see
in
the
graphic
kind
of
extends,
largely
you
know
focused
on
the
on
the
on
the
on
the
coastal
area,
between
just
west
of
McDaniel,
slew
down
to
Rocky,
Gulch
or
just
south
of
the
of
the
Bayside
cut
off
and
then
extending
in
land
word
and
really
our
focus
is
kind
of,
if
you
think
about
it,
from
the
the
levees
or
the
dikes
and
then
looking
looking
landward.
N
So
there's
been
some
great
previous
studies
and
work
done
to
date
and
that
really
established
vulnerable
areas
around
the
bay
and
you
know,
and
certainly
in
the
in
the
boundaries
of
Arcata
in
the
coastal
zone
and
those
vulnerable
areas
being
kind
of
low-lying
in
areas
that
are
vulnerable
or
subject
to
Future
flooding
due
to
sea
level
rise
and
vertical.
Ground
motion.
There's
also
been
some
great
work
on
looking
at
vulnerable
infrastructure
and
catalog
cataloging
that
this
identified
a
range
of
potential
impacts
associated
with
with
regular
tidal
flooding.
N
So
we're
really
looking
forward
to
kind
of
building
on
that
that
work
and
then
starting
to
incorporate
some
of
the
the
latest
guidance
on
on
sea
level
rise
with
the
latest
projections
from
NOAA
or
the
National
Oceanic
and
Atmospheric
Administration,
so
that
was
recently
released
in
in
2022
and
we'll
be
incorporating
that
as
we
kind
of
look
to
the
to
the
Future-
and
you
know
what
as
well
as
what's
happened
to
date.
N
So
as
Emily
indicated,
you
know
the
real
project
goal.
The
goal
of
this
work
is
to
develop
an
adaptation
plan
to
inform
decision,
making
around
sea
level
rise
adaptation
and
take
into
account
other
other
events
and
I'll
kind
of
get
into
that.
But
by
looking
at
rainfall
and
and
River
flooding
as
well.
N
So
to
to
do
this,
we've
we've
done
this
with
with
the
county
in
their
Eureka
Slough
hydrographic
area
study
a
couple
years
ago
and
then
also
with
the
city
of
Eureka,
along
their
Shoreline
and
so
we'll
work
with
the
city
to
define
the
scenarios
that
we're
we're
looking
at.
N
We
do
hydraulic,
modeling
or
simulations
of
water
levels
in
the
in
the
bay,
so
simulation
of
different
title
events
and
fluvial
flooding
events
or
rainfall
events
and
and
other
atmosphere,
conditions
such
as
such
as
wind
and
and
consideration
of
groundwater
and
then
characterize
the
risk,
so
risk
being
really
what's
the
likelihood
of
an
event
happening
and
then
what's
the
consequence
of
that
event
and
then
identify
the
adaptation
strategies.
N
So
you
know
looking
at
the
the
scenarios,
that's
step,
one
looking
at
tithes,
tides
and
wind
tides
and
fluvial
events
or
rainfall
events
and
storms,
and
then
consideration
of
groundwater
do
hydraulic
modeling
or
simulations
really
to
see.
Where
do
we
get
that?
Where
does
that
flooding
start?
So
where
does
it
over
top
the
levees
or
the
dikes?
Or
where
does
it
come
out
of
the
of
the
rivers
and
streams?
N
What's
the
pathway
that
it
takes
over
land,
so
we
can
understand
kind
of
where
it's
going
and
how
that's
occurring
and
then
understand
the
depth
and
the
duration
of
the
flooding.
The
differences
between
you
know
a
couple
inches.
You
know
we
live
in
a
very
wet
environment
up
here
and
is
it
kind
of
similar
to
typical
rainy
rainy
day
conditions,
or
is
it
something
more
more
substantial
but
kind
of
evaluate?
What
is
that?
What
does
that
mean?
N
And
then
we
characterize
the
the
risk.
This
is
where
we
really
start
to
focus
on
the
city's
infrastructure
and
I
know:
there's
a
lot
going
on
in
this
table
here,
but
looking
at
the
the
resource
or
that
that
infrastructure
in
this
example
that
might
be
the
shoreline
protection,
so
that
could
be
comprised
of
Earthen
levees
or
the
rail
prism
is
an
example
from
our
Eureka
SLU
hydrographic
area
and
then
what's
the
process
that
it's
subject
to.
N
Where
might
things
occur
and
then
characterizing
that
depth
duration
or
the
extent
so
how
much
water
might
come
over
that
that
dike
and
is
it
in
this
example,
greater
than
a
foot
for
greater
than
two
hours
and
that
might
cause
potential
failure
of
that
infrastructure?
Or
is
it
shallow
less
than
a
foot
less
than
two
hours
and
it's
erosion
and
it
can
be
maybe
handled
with
maintenance?
N
Other
examples
might
be
with
Transportation
infrastructure
or
roads.
So
thinking
about
the
the
depth
of
the
flooding
and
again
the
the
duration
of
that,
but
is
it
several
feet
of
flooding
or
or
a
foot
of
flooding
that
could
result
in
enclosure?
Does
it
result
in
damage
or
is
it
shallow,
shallow
flooding
and
it's
kind
of
more
of
nuisance,
flooding
and
maybe
the
last
example
is
other
utilities
thinking
about
sewer
lift
stations
when
you're
well
the
amount
of
water
coming
into
a
lift
station?
N
You
know:
does
that
damage
the
lift
station
and
make
that
inoperable?
Does
it
limit
just
access
to
that
to
that
station
or
thinking
about
the
the
water
lines
or
the
sewer
lines,
and
is
it
an
issue
of
access
to
them
during
during
event,
or
can
they
can
they
kind
of
function,
as
is
similar
to
kind
of
wet
weather
conditions
and
then
using
all
that
to
develop
adaptation
strategies?
N
So
this
is
an
example
from
the
work
we
did
in
Eureka
in
and
around
their
wastewater
treatment
plant
on
the
south
end
of
town
and
again
fairly
busy
busy
graphic.
But
if
you
look
on
the
left
side,
what
we're
looking
at?
What
is?
How
can
we,
where
is
there
room
to
potentially
Retreat
from
the
from
the
shoreline
and
move
some
infrastructure
back
or
Elevate
certain
areas
of
the
of
the
of
the
roadways
or
the
rail
prism?
N
And
then,
if
you
look
over
kind
of
towards
the
right
of
the
graphic,
do
you
looking
at?
How
can
we
pull
back
utility
lines
to
change
the
alignments
so
that
you
can
access
those
in
the
future,
but
really
looking
at
kind
of
incremental
steps
to
adapt
to
a
changing
environment,
whether
that
be
from
sea
level
rise
or
storm
events
or
increasing
groundwater?.
N
And
that
is
the
general
overview,
so
we
haven't
started
the
work,
but
some
examples
from
from
some
previous
projects
and
yeah
happy
to
answer
any
questions
and
I
made
it
for
the
to
my
colleague,
Jeff
great.
A
Well,
thank
you
so
much
yeah
looking
at
those
Graphics
too,
it
seems
like
this
is
going
to
be
some
really
exciting
and
helpful
work
that
I
know
we've
all
been
waiting
to
see.
So
do
we
have
any
questions
from
the
council
here,
yeah.
B
First,
I
just
want
to
thank
Emily
and
the
staff
from
environmental
services
for
all
their
hard
work
on
this
Grant
and
I'm
really
glad
that
the
city
did
receive
this
and
that
it's
ghd
very
competent,
consulting
firm,
seeing
that
you've
done
a
lot
of
work
here
in
our
area
as
you've
sewn
with
hcog
City
Rica
Caltrans
in
Humboldt
County
in
general,
I
think
also
in
Trinidad.
B
I
am
satisfied
that
they're
going
to
be
working
hand
in
hand
with
our
local
Coastal
staff
and
the
California
Coastal
Commission
in
the
city
and
I'm
happy
to
recommend
an
award.
This
contract
and
finally
I
am
really
happy
that
this
is
going
to
inform
the
wastewater
treatment
feasibility
study,
that's
upcoming
and
then,
most
importantly,
it's
going
to
be
updating
our
local
Coastal
program.
So
I
am
curious
in.
B
N
Yeah,
absolutely
so
Alderaan
did
some
some
great
work
in
identifying
the
vulnerable
infrastructure
and
characterizing
some
of
the
the
potential
impacts
to
that
kind
of
more
associated
with
with
regular
title
title
flooding
and
we'll
start
to
look
at
some
of
the
the
episodic
events
as
well
as
Advance.
N
Some
of
that
that
regular
flooding
and
characterize
kind
of
more
site-specific
I
think
I
like
to
think
of
these
studies
as
starting,
more
Broad
and
then
starting
to
to
hone
in
to
to
really
get
to
more
so
the
advancement
in
the
sense
of
what
can
we
do
about
this
now?
What
sort
of
projects
can
we
do,
but
yeah
absolutely
using
using
that
2018
study
by
Alderaan.
D
Was
just
going
to
say
there's
a
lot
of
concern
about
the
Gateway
area
and,
what's
going
to
happen
there
and
I'm
assuming
in
some
ways,
you'll
be
addressing
that
and
and
the
Aging
I
know
that
Jeff
you
were
involved
with
Alderaan
when
we
had
that
study
session,
and
thank
you
for
being
here
for
that
and
so
I'm
assuming
you
probably
will
have
some
kind
of
recommendations
and
we'll
know,
what's
going
to
happen.
Yeah.
N
N
D
A
All
right,
not
seeing
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
the
council
I
will
open
it
up
to
public
comments.
So
if
you're
here
in
person,
please
come
to
the
podium
now
and
if
you're
on
Zoom
raise
your
Zoom
hand.
H
For
your
time
on
the
council,
I
just
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
the
city
actually
had
a
very
good
plan
and
their
plan
was
they
pointed
towards
the
hills
and
said
the
future
of
Arcata
is
towards
the
hills
not
towards
the
bay
and
they
never
had
a
formal.
H
You
know
study
on
where
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
would
go,
but
they
all
seemed
to
agree
that
informally
that
the
best
place
was
the
southern
section
of
the
Gateway
plant.
So
I
just
want
to
be
clear
on
that,
because
because
of
phase
one
of
the
wastewater
treatment
plant,
that
was
all
agreed
upon-
and
that's
part
of
this
second
study
that
you're
doing
that-
you
have
a
set
amount
of
time
to
figure
that
out
and
also
there's
no
guarantee
I.
H
It's
no
guarantee
that
the
coastal
commission
may
just
say
you're
crazy.
We're
not
going
to
do
this
so
I,
just
question
why
this
is
going
this
way,
you're
supposed
to
be
doing
studies
first,
then,
making
decisions
not
making
decisions
first
and
waiting
for
the
study
to
come
out
two.
H
G
So,
climate
change
and
risk
and
mitigation
adaptations
really
become
important
to
me
in
the
climate
change
scenarios
and
I
I
think
we
are
probably
at
a
point
where
there
are
some
feedback
loops
tipping
points
or
whatever
and
I've
been
watching
and
listening
to
some
webcasts
about
from
the
Columbia
climate
school
and
my
friend
Andrew
revkin,
who
hosts
these
with
a
lot
of
experts
on
various
issues
and
a
lot
of
attention
now
has
been
turned,
not
so
much
that
if
climate
change
happening
and
what's
happening
but
to
the
risk
assessment
and
what
you
presented
here,
the
characterizing
the
risk
the
likelihood
and
the
consequences
and
I
think
I'm
really
interested
in
bold
letters.
G
The
likelihood
and
consequences
of
what's
happening
with
sea
level
rise
and
other
aspects
of
climate
change
in
our
region.
So
thank
you
for
your
presentation
and
your
work
and
your
expertise
and
risk
assessment
is
just
so
important
for
communities.
Now.
A
lot
of
the
webcasts
I
watched
involved,
the
Hurricanes
of
Florida,
but
we
have
our
significant
West
Coast
challenges
and
sea
level
rise
here
in
this
region
is
really
really
important.
So,
thank
you
and
I
look
forward
to
the
Bold
lettered
risk
assessment
likelihood
consequences
report.
Thank
you.
F
Good
evening,
I'm
Fred
wise
I
greatly
appreciate
the
study
and
the
work
that
went
into
staff,
getting
the
grant
funding
for
it.
The
study
is
on
sea
level
rise.
The
more
important
and
more
immediate
issue
in
the
Gateway
area
is
emerging
groundwater
and
the
effects
of
king
tide
levels
and
breaching
of
dikes.
F
If
this
is
not
included
in
the
study,
then
I
may
ask
the
council
to
consider
an
additional
study
on
this
emerging
groundwater
will
affect
the
design
of
the
foundations.
It'll
affect
the
design
of
the
road
construction
and,
as
alvarian
ladders
pointed
out,
there's
it
affects
the
underground
Utilities
in
the
Gateway
area.
Thanks
very
much.
J
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
ever
so
much
for
getting
this
Grant
and
pursuing
this
as
seriously
as
you
are,
because
I
think
it's
extremely
important
I
think
it
would
be
very
useful
to
have
as
part
of
this
study
and
understanding
of
the
elevation
of
the
various
opportunity
zones
that
have
been
laid
out
and
in
what
order
they
should
be
ideally
pursued
due
to
sea
level
rise.
J
The
nature
of
the
soils
and
the
extent
to
which
water
emergence
is
going
to
be
a
problem
and
have
those
particular
areas
identified
so
that
it's
a
site-specific
evaluation,
so
I
also
think
it
would
be
useful
to
identify
in
this
process
where
on
Earth,
we
could
move
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
two
in
order
to
address
this
and
and
I
don't
understand
quite
what
the
coastal
conditions
evaluation
is
of
the
building
in
the
coastal
zone.
J
I
don't
think
we
have.
We
haven't
finished
updating
the
1980s
late
1980s,
because
the
commission
of
agreement
so
I
think
that
needs
to
be
looked
at
and
see
what
needs
to
be
done
with
respect
to
that,
whether,
if
we
decide
to
build
large
structures
in
the
coastal
zone,
subject
to
sea
level
rise
issues
over
20
to
60
years,
it's
because
of
commission
going
to
be
in
favor
of
that
and
at
what
point
they
would
likely
intervene
anyway.
I'm
very
glad,
you're
doing
this
and
I
hope
you
will
release
the
proposal
or
the
contract.
J
I
B
Could
I
just
ask
a
quick
question
and
it
probably
was
in
there
and
I
apologize
if
I
missed
it,
but
when
will
the
assessment
be
completed.
M
The
full
study
we're
really
looking
to
have
all
deliverables
kind
of
by
January
of
2025,
but
a
lot
of
the
modeling
is
going
to
be
really
started,
getting
started
this
fall
and
then
of
the
both
the
setting
up
the
scenarios
we
want
to
analyze,
as
well
as
the
modeling
and
carrying
that
forward
through
2024
for
the
just
of
thinking
of
the
studies
that
are
other
studies
that
are
underway.
M
You
know
the
local
Coastal
plan
program
update
is
you
know
on
a
similar.
It
will
take
a
number.
You
know:
General
Plan
Focus.
You
know
now
then,
shifting
to
local
Coastal
program,
as
well
as
the
wastewater
treatment
plants
feasibility
study.
We
really
will
not
get
started
until
later.
This
fall
at
the
earliest
for
at
least
taking
place
for
a
year.
So
we're
really
that's
a
long
way
to
say
we're,
looking
at
2024
being
a
big
Focus
for
all
of
these
studies.
So.
B
The
reason
I
asked
is
when
I
was
on
the
Planning
Commission.
Some
Commissioners,
including
myself,
were
asking
the
question.
Isn't
this
the
cart
before
the
horse
when
we
were
getting
ahead
of
ourselves?
Some
of
us
were
thinking
that
maybe
we
would
have
wanted
these
studies
before
we
completed
the
Gateway
area
plan
and
I
guess
I'm
wanting
to
know.
Will
this
still
be
able
to
afford
inform
the
Gateway
area
plan
and
then
also
to
the
questions
that
both
Fred
and
Jane
had
asked
about
emergency
groundwater?
B
M
H
B
M
Yes
and
then
there
you
know,
I
can
let
Brett
speak
to
more
of
the
groundwater
modeling
that
will
be.
You
know,
part
of
a
little
bit
a
part
of
the
model,
but
we're
really
focused
on
a
lot
of
the
more
fluvial
and
wind
wave
action
components.
N
Yeah
there
there
will
be
considerations
for
for
groundwater
kind
of
on
the
best
available
data.
We
won't
be
building
a
groundwater
model.
That's
a
it's
a
very
large
effort
with
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
data
to
to
put
in,
but
there
will
be
considerations
for
that
and
it's
relativeness
to
to
sea
levels
and
how
that
might
change
in
with
sea
level
rise.
But
that
is
a
part
of
the
proposal
and
was
a
part
of
the
the
scope
for
the
for
the
grant
to
consider
groundwater.
So.
B
I
guess
what
what
I'm
hearing
from
the
community
is?
The
concern
of
with
half
of
the
Gateway
area
plan
actually
being
affected
by
sea
level
rise?
How
this
report
will
it
still
be
able
to
inform
before
we
decide
to
build,
say
eight
stories
in
the
barrel
District,
which
is
seven
stories,
but
it
can
be
80
feet
so
and
also
if
they
use
the
state
bonus
density
program,
it
could
go
even
higher
by
up
to
two
more
stories,
so
it
could
indeed
be.
B
A
So
I
don't
want
to
get
too
much
into
any
discussion
about
Gateway,
because
Alex
is
here
and
that's
not
appropriate,
right
and
also
I
just
want
to
maybe
ask
the
question
and
kind
of
Drive
the
point
that
anything
that's
going
to
be
developed
in
the
coastal
zone
will
need
a
coastal
development
permit
by
the
coastal
commission.
Correct
okay.
So
even
if
we
approve
a
Gateway
plan
that
has
housing
zoning
in
areas
that
do
include
the
coastal
zone,
it
cannot
be
built
there
without
a
coastal
development.
Permit
correct,
yeah,
okay,
so.
D
B
I
know
I
understand
that
the
final
Improvement
of
development,
the
city
Shoreline,
is
going
to
be
retained
by
the
California
Coastal
commission
per
the
coastal
act
and
that
jurisdiction
is
all
covered
with
the
former
tidelands
and
current
Shoreline
I
guess
again
we're
putting
all
this
work
in
and
then
we're
going
to
make
decisions
that
we
don't
really
have
the
information
before
we
make
the
decisions
that
we
might
I
mean
it
is
what
it
is.
I
just
wish
that
these
studies
would
have
come
before.
D
That
was
a
whole
discussion
we
had
about
what
is
going
to
happen
out
in
the
where
we
have
the
development
of
Mad
River.
What
is
going
to
happen
if
we
had
a
a
dam
break
up
at
Ruth
Lake
how
much
water
is
going
to
come
into
Valley
West?
How
far
is
it
going
to
come?
So?
Does
that
mean
that
we
should
not
have
thought
about
allowing
that
development
to
occur,
because
maybe
one
day
we'd
have
a
dam
break?
D
B
But
part
of
resiliency
planning
is
to
interject
these
possibilities
so
that
we
don't
say
oops,
you
know
later
after
the
fact
so
I
I
just
think
it
is
imperative
that
the
city
and
the
Consultants
actively
engage
with
each
other
with
our
local
Coastal
planning
program
and
again
it
would
have.
B
It
is
what
it
is,
and
maybe
the
grants
weren't
available-
I
don't
know,
but
it
would
have
been
nice
to
somehow
have
some
of
this
information
beforehand,
because
it's
been
quite
contentious
and
divisive
about
where
we're
going
to
put
these
buildings
and
had
this
information
been
available
before
actually
to
no
fault
of
ghd.
Of
course
we
might
have
been
able
to.
It
might
have
been
an
easier
process
to.
D
Do
this,
but
you
know
to
think
about
that:
we
shouldn't
build
it
all
in
this
whole
region,
because
we
have
earthquakes
and
so
you
you
know
you
have
to
so
we're
going
to
say:
oh
no
more
building,
because
we
have
earthquakes,
we
don't
know
where
it'll
happen,
What
part
which
will
be
the
worst
or
so
forth,
but
you
have
to
do
planning
or
you
just
get
hodgepodge
and
that
maybe
that's
what
people
want.
It's
just
hodgepodge
but
I,
don't
believe
so.
I
believe
that
we
want
good
planning
for
our
community,
which.
D
L
D
A
B
A
motion
to
award
the
grant
to
ghd
and
I:
don't
have
the
I
closed.
My
thank
you.
D
C
A
All
right,
that'll
take
us
to
Item
B
and
we're
going
to
receive
an
update
from
Caltrans
climate
change.
Adaptation
branch
chief,
Clancy
Desmet
on
the
Eureka,
Arcata
Corridor,
long-term
sea
level
rise
comprehensive
adaptation
and
implementation
plan,
and
we
will
have
a
brief
introduction
from
city
engineer.
Netra
katri.
O
Good
evening,
Council
and
okay
good
evening,
everybody
so
yes,
I
was
not
preparing
for
a
staff
report,
but
this
is
a
perfect
segue.
Okay,
this
is
a
perfect
segue,
as
we
are
talking
about.
The
sea
level
rise
and
I
happen
to
see
a
presentation
from
Caltrans
on
Corridor
between
arcade
and
Eureka,
and
it
was
a
great
presentation
on
Silver
rise.
P
So
good
evening,
I'm
Clancy,
just
we
just
met
a
senior
specialist
for
Caltrans
District
One.
Sorry,
my
audio
is
kind
of
hang
on
a
sec.
P
All
right,
I've
got
an
echo
so
I
just
gotta.
Sorry
about
that.
All
right
folks
can
hear
me
right.
Okay,
so
I'm
here
to
give
an
update
on
the
comprehensive
adaptation
and
implementation
plan.
First
off
Caltrans
will
make
every
effort
to
ensure
non-discrimination
in
all
of
its
services
programs
and
activities,
whether
they
are
federally
funded
or
not,
and
that
services
and
benefits
are
fairly
distributed
to
all
people,
regardless
of
race,
color
or
national
origin.
In
addition,
Caltrans
will
facilitate
participation
in
the
transportation
planning
process
in
a
non-discriminatory
manner.
P
I'm
here
to
talk
about
the
Eureka
Arcata
Corridor
project,
the
Eureka
Arcata
Corridor
project
consists
of
five
component
projects
within
a
six
mile
segment
along
Highway
101
on
the
west
side
of
the
Wolf
Bay.
The
corridor
is
identified
as
critical,
because
it's
the
primary
Transportation
Hub
in
Humboldt
County,
where
there
are
a
few
alternate
routes,
it
contains
essential
utility
lines,
residential
businesses
and
recreational
amenities
that
can
be
affected
by
sea
level
rise
and
flooding.
P
P
The
CDP,
which
covers
the
Eureka
arcade
and
coral
project,
specifically
Incorporated,
two
climate
change,
related
special
conditions
into
the
project,
approval
special
condition,
one
sea
level
rise
and
flooding
impact,
monitoring
and
Reporting.
We
report
King
tides
and
other
Storm
surges
and
wind
wave
action
that
causes
that
could
cause
problems
along
one-on-one
and
special
condition.
2,
which
is
the
long-term
sea
level,
rise,
comprehensive
adaptation
and
implementation
plan.
P
P
P
These
are
the
areas
along
the
corridor
that
we
document
the
king
tide.
So
we
go
to
the
same
spot
every
year
and
we
have
a
report
that
I
can
furnish
at
the
end
of
the
presentation
or
just
get
it
to
Nature
later
so
you
know
spot
again
and
slew
Jacoby
Creek
North
break
it
South
break
at
Indianola,
the
Redwood
Company,
all
the
way
to
the
salute.
P
However,
there's
a
need
for
immediate
action
now
in
2019
Caltrans
contracted
with
ICF
to
assess
vulnerabilities
along
the
corridor.
The
figure
shown
here
is
from
that
record
and
it
shows
the
corridor
broken
into
multiple
segments
with
projected
inundation
dates.
The
red
segment
closest
to
the
city
of
Eureka,
as
inundation
projected
by
2030.,
short-term
and
long-term
Solutions,
will
have
to
run
concurrently
in
this
effort.
P
P
There
are
several
adaptation
strategies
that
we're
exploring
Retreat
protect,
accommodate
and
the
most
promising,
which
is
the
hybrid
strategy.
So
this
slide
shows
the
basic
sea
level
rise
strategies
that
are
we're
continuing
to
evaluate
the
first
strategy
we
are
con.
Excuse
me
continuing
to
evaluate
is
protect.
P
Early
investigation
of
the
strategy
has
resulted
in
a
concept
refer
to
as
a
gradual
progression
of
an
earth
and
burn
highway.
It's
a
flexible
approach
that
is
scalable
and
could
happen
through
several
projects,
rather
than
all
at
once.
It
aims
to
avoid
the
use
of
hard
armoring
by
simply
raising
the
roadway
prism.
The
initial
project
is
estimated
to
have
a
construction
cost
of
approximately
100
million
dollars
with
subsequent
projects
costing
approximately
20
million
dollars
every
10
years.
P
The
next
strategy
we
continue
to
evaluate
is
accommodate
full
accommodation
of
the
along
the
corridor
required
an
elevated
Causeway
to
be
constructed
between
Eureka
slubridge
and
Highway
101
and
State
Route
255
interchange.
Again,
some
high-level
pros
and
cons
are
listed
to
the
right
and
estimated
construction
costs
for
full
structural
Causeway
is
anticipated
the
cost
between
2.5
to
10
billion
dollars,
depending
on
the
final
alignment
in
the
highway
connection.
Details.
P
This
strategy
could
affect
between
25
and
75
Parcels,
the
project
delivery
timeline
for
an
alternative
such
as
this
is
expected
to
be
not
as
fast
as
a
gradual
regression
of
the
earth
and
berm
Highway,
we'll
Retreat.
As
another
strategy
that
remains
on
a
table.
This
would
require
a
major
highway
realignment.
One
such
alternative
that
has
been
briefly
evaluated
is
retreated
to
U.S,
retreating,
U.S
101
to
Old
Arcadia
Road,
which
is
an
existing
collector
Road
for
communities
along
humble
Bay.
P
The
most
likely
strategy
to
be
utilized
is
the
hybrid
strategy
in
which
the
corridor
will
be
assessed
through
multiple
segments,
with
some
segments,
leaning
on
one
or
more
strategies,
knowing
exactly
what
this
looks
like
is
at
the
time
at
this
time,
it
remains
premature,
as
there
is
almost
an
infinite
number
of
alternatives
for
the
hybrid
Approach
at
this
time.
It
is
simply
important
to
know
that
all
options
remain
on
the
table,
including
minor
and
micro
realignments,
that
of-
and
this
approach
is
also
a
scale,
scalable
or
modular
approach.
P
However,
we
do
have
some
ideas
to
share
with
you
today.
That
would
spark
conversation
with
our
partners,
and
collaborators.
P
This
year
is
just
one
example
of
what
a
hybrid
strategy
could
look
like,
while
the
structural
causeways
lean
on
an
accommodated
strategy,
the
Earthen
berm
and
the
Earth
and
berm
leans
on
a
protect
strategy.
Sustainability
and
resiliency
are
the
primary
focus
well
assessing
the
corridor
segments
such
as
this
you'll
notice
that
there
is
an
incorporation
of
living
shorelines
and
the
structural
causeways
that
are
intentionally
placed
and
developed
to
support
habitat
restoration
and
Marshland
Retreat
for
those
living
shorelines
or
conceptual
purposes.
Only.
P
We
have
included
some
pictures
here
to
help
illustrate
the
differences
and,
more
importantly,
the
transitions
from
one
segment
to
the
next
within
the
corridor.
Again,
you
will
see
here
is
simply
a
conceptual
idea
that
represents
just
one
of
the
Alternatives.
An
approach
such
as
this
aims
not
only
to
be
cost
effective
by
utilizing
accommodation
strategies,
but
it
could
enhance
Environmental,
Quality
and
habitat.
P
While
the
previous
slide
demonstrated
a
conceptual
ultimate
facility
build
out,
the
hybrid
approach
is
modular
and
knowing
it
may
take
multiple
projects
to
get
to
that
point.
This
slide
here
simply
represents
one
project
that
could
be
developed
sooner
than
later.
The
concept
means
on
a
strategy
of
accommodate
where
the
two
tide
Gates
would
be
removed
and
replaced
with
single
span
Bridges.
P
In
addition
to
restoring
connectivity
of
the
slues,
a
new
network
of
Levee
Trails
could
also
be
developed
again,
like
I,
said
we're
kind
of
having
short-term
and
long-term
issues.
So,
in
order
to
address
like
enhance
in
order
to
address,
like
the
likelihood
that
we
might
have
some
regular
over
topping
by
2030
we're
working
on
a
project
initiation
document
right
now
that
has
an
initial
raising
of
the
corridor.
P
However,
it's
Howard
are
being
proactive.
The
purpose
of
the
project
is
just
to
reduce
any
loss
of
service
from
an
aerial
perspective.
The
initial
project
within
the
approach
is
simple:
it
maintains
the
existing
alignment
and
simply
raises
the
minimum
elevation
of
the
highway
to
an
adequate
elevation
to
avoid
overtopping.
So
the
benefits
of
the
approach
are
it's
a
hedge
against
uncertainty.
It's
proactive,
it
provides.
It
provides
additional
time
for
Community
engagement
and
to
develop
a
comprehensive
plan.
P
P
Hi
I'm
Clancy
De
Smet,
climate
change,
adaptation
branch
chief
for
Caltrans
District
One
at
Caltrans.
We
know
that
climate
change
is
a
serious
threat
to
the
North
Coast
that
includes
the
2400
miles
of
State
highways
maintain
across
Del
Norte,
Humboldt,
Mendocino
and
Lake
counties.
In
addition
to
serving
as
vital
Transportation
routes.
These
roads
often
serve
as
main
streets
in
our
communities,
and
climate
change
is
impacting
each
one
and
varied
in
unique
ways
from
devastating
wildfires
and
landslides.
The
coastal
erosion
and
sea
level
rise.
P
The
circle
one
is
enhancing
our
efforts
to
add
resiliency
to
roads
that
are
vulnerable
to
climate
change,
and
we've
launched
a
website
to
keep
track
of
those
efforts.
North
Coast
climateaction.org
on
the
site,
you'll
find
information
about
planning
and
projects
along
the
highway,
101
Corridor
and
in
each
of
the
four
counties
covered
by
district
one.
We
recognize
that
Caltrans
isn't
the
only
agency
working
on
climate
change
in
the
region,
so
we'll
continue
to
partner
with
local
stakeholders
and
local
agencies
moving
forward,
and
we
hope
that
you'll
join
us.
F
C
P
One
last
thing:
our
vision
of
the
comprehensive
plan
is
the
collaborative
implementation
strategy
of
short-term
and
long-term
projects,
the
protection
of
critical
resources
and
habitat,
and
to
create
a
community-wide
awareness
of
climate
change
and
risks.
Some
of
our
key
assumptions
are
many
adaptation.
Projects
will
depend
on
the
availability
of
funding
and
adaptation.
Projects
will
need
to
minimize
environmental
impacts.
A
D
P
Yeah
we
have
to
look
at
all
all
the
options
from
protect
accommodate
to
retreat
and
we
have
to
look
at
that
and
and
I
had
a
slide
in
my
presentation
that
discussed,
The
Retreat
to
Old,
Arcata,
Road
and
and
one
of
the
problems
is
that
that
road
is
a
collector
Road,
and
so
it
wasn't
ever
designed
to
take
as
much
traffic
as
goes
along
Highway
101.
P
So
if
we
were
to
do
that,
we'd
probably
have
an
environmental
justice
issue
with
the
amount
of
property
acquisition
and
the
amount
of
traffic
and
pollution
that
we
would
be
putting
onto
that
road,
and
so
we'd
have
a
lot
of
impacts
to
that
community.
So
those
communities
that
reside
along
that
road
so.
D
Well,
I'm,
aware
of
that,
but
I
just
thought
you
know
we
have
so
many
discussions
about
doing
this
and
not
doing
that
and
we're
putting
a
lot
of
money
into
101
and
we're
putting
a
trail
system
in
and
it's
going
to
be
the
Great,
American,
Trail
and
so
forth
and
so
on,
and
then
you
think
about
how
much
money
is
there
and
what
would
be
able
to
do
somewhere
else.
So
I
just
thought:
I'd
bring
it
up
because
it's
you
know
whatever.
B
I
had
a
question
and
it
may
just
I
I
was
you
talked
about
the
hybrid
and
the
most
likely
hybrid
would
be
to
protect
with
accommodate
and
I
noticed
that
with
the
Old
Arcata
Road
as
a
retreat,
and
you
mentioned
that
it's
going
to
have
huge
significant
Community
impacts
and
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
longer.
B
Would
that
ever
come
into
the
picture?
Is
a
possible
hybrid
like
let's
just
say
you
know,
we
have
the
worst
possible
scenario
and
we
haven't
completed
this
project.
What
would
that
look
like
I
guess
is?
Is
there
Alternatives?
Can
we
use
that
as
a
until
we
can
really
build
up
our
hybrid
of
protect
and
accommodate,
or
sometimes
when
I'm
driving
down
the
corridor?
I
see
you
know
it's,
the
water
is
getting
close
and
I.
Just
wonder.
You
know
it's
obviously
way
out
of
my
area
of
expertise.
P
Yeah,
like
I,
said
before
we're
gonna,
you
know
evaluate
like
most
of
the
Alternatives
and
and
like
I
said
you
know,
one
that
protects
habitat
and
maintains
continuity
and
protects.
The
facility
is
probably
the
likeliest
one
I
I
doubt
that
we'll
Retreat
all
the
way
to
Old
Arcata
Road,
but
we
could
have
microalignments
that
retreat
in
certain
ways,
East
or
West
along
the
corridor.
A
G
Lancey,
my
name
is
Joanne
McGarry
and
I
was
at
the
coastal
commission
meeting
in
September
of
2019,
where
a
presentation
was
made
by
Caltrans
on
the
first
day
about
the
Indianola
cutoff,
and
now
we
are
seeing
the
work
being
completed
there
for
that
dangerous
spot
on
the
highway.
G
The
second
day,
elderon
Laird,
gave
a
presentation
on
sea
level
rise
that
had
the
coastal
commission
literally
dropping
their
jaws
about
the
big,
huge
concern
about
sea
level
rise
and
the
impacts
on
the
101
corridor
and
we're
recognizing
that
that
was
a
priority
for
the
coastal
commission
to
consider
and
yet
they'd
already
gone
ahead
with
the
Indianola,
and
we
also
as
council
member
Stillman,
mentioned
the
Bay
Trail
development.
G
So
I'm
just
you
know
again,
I
appreciate
what
you're
sharing
with
us,
but
the
urgency
of
what
I
think
is
happening
faster
and
faster.
What
what
do
you
personally
think
needs
to
happen
and
with
all
this
money
spent
on
the
trail
and
on
the
Indianola
cutoff?
P
Absolutely,
and
just
for
the
record,
the
Indianola
under
Crossing
was
one
of
the
components
that
was
permitted
in
that
hearing
that
you
were
at
in
2019..
So.
Q
P
Permit
the
condition
of
the
permit
requires
us
to
do
a
long-term
plan
and
then
the
good
news
about
the
Bay
Trail
is
it's
going
to
raise
the
railroad
prism
about
a
foot
or
so,
and
so
we're
going
to
have
some
short-term
resiliency
as
that
gets
built
up.
So
it's
going
to
buy
us
a
little
bit
of
time
while
we
develop
the
final
solution.
G
Okay,
thanks
I'm,
going
to
look
at
your
Clancy's
corner
and
hopefully
be
in
touch
with
you.
If
I
have
any
further
questions
thanks,
please.
H
We
lost,
probably
tens
of
thousands
of
Acres
of
wetlands,
which,
in
the
state
of
California
I,
believe
it's
95
percent
of
our
wetlands
are
gone
so
I
think
the
concern
was
what
we
do
in
the
future
that
we
I
mean
mentioned
hybrid,
and
maybe
this
is
a
possibility
that
when
we
build,
if
we
build
on
top
of
these
levees
from
the
1880s,
where
basically
anything
on
the
Bay
Side
is
going
to
be
underwater
because
the
sea
level
rise,
so
the
only
chance
that
we
have
survival
for
our
wetlands
in
the
future
are
probably
these
pasture
lands
that
were
drained
in
the
1890s,
and
that
will
be
the
only
only
chance
for
its
species
in
the
future
to
survive.
H
And
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
to
be
really
thinking
about
because
I'm
looking
at
the
red
book
just
recently
and
we've
lost
millions
of
species
around
the
world,
and
so
it
isn't
just
this
California
issue.
It's
it's
a
big
issue
and
wetlands
is,
is
the
number
one
productive
land
there
is
and
we
have
very
little
of
it,
but
luckily
in
Humboldt
County
we
have
a
lot
of
possibilities
and
that's
to
the
west
and
to
the
south
on
kelp
I.
H
So
that's
what
I'm
talking
about
that
we're
going
to
be
losing
all
this
Wetlands
because
of
sea
level
rise
and
if
we
build
on
top
of
the
of
the
levees,
and
we
need
to
have
all
these
possibilities
of
particular
space
and
how
you're
going
to
deal
with
that
with
landowners
that
it's
pasture
land
in
the
future
and
I
think
there's
been
some
work
of
the
30
percent,
which
is
an
initiative
all
around
the
world,
but
England
California
about
how
we
need
to
identify
particular
areas
that
we're
even
going
to
have
a
chance
for
anything
to
survive
in
the
future.
H
So
I
would
also
say
this
is
a
very
expensive
operation.
We're
just
talking
about
the
101,
but
we're
also
talking
about
levees
all
over
the
all
around
around
the
city
and
how
that
influences.
What
we
do
in
the
future
and
I
don't
think
the
money
we
have
is
going
to
come
from.
Our
local
government
I
think
it's
going
to
we're
going
to
be
asking
our
our
state,
which
is
about
32
billion
deficit
in
our
federal
government,
which
is
about
33
trillion
right
now.
H
F
Thank
you,
I'm
Fred
wise.
Thank
you
natural
for
facilitating
this
presentation.
Excellent.
The
Caltrans
study
shown
here
cover
the
period
from
2020
to
2023.
F
I
spoke
with
the
Planning
Commission
in
January.
For
about
six
minutes,
I
had
interviewed
Alderaan
Laird
and
presented
a
summary
of
my
interview,
video
and
the
transcript
of
what
I
said
is
on
arcadia.one.com.
There
are
11
articles
articulated
one
about
sea
level
rise
Alderaan
points
out
that
just
one
foot
of
sea
level
rise
will
result
in
King
Tides
exceeding
current
disaster
declaration
conditions,
just
one
foot
which
could
happen
in
20
years.
F
So
it
is
not
the
median
high
tide.
So
it's
the
issue
is
storm
surge
and
king
tide
combination,
and
this
will
affect
101
and
the
Gateway
area.
Thanks
very
much.
J
We
continue
our
sequence.
I
just
wanted
to
comment
that
you
noted
that
with
the
new
Trail,
it's
going
to
add
about
a
foot
elevation.
Did
you
consider
increasing
that
beyond
that,
and
if
not,
why
not?
J
Is
that
not
permitted
by
the
coastal
commission
and
to
what
extent
are
you
allowed
to
reinforce
that
and
is
that
a
coastal
commission
decision
in
parts
of
Florida,
for
example,
they
replant
mangroves
I,
don't
know
I'm
unaware
that
we
have
any
mangroves
growing
in
this
area,
but
is
there
something
comparable
like
oyster
beds,
that
aren't
being
cultivated
for
oysters
but
oyster
beds
for
oyster
shells
it
could
be
placed
into
the
bay
that
would
basically
evolve
a
barrier
of
its
own,
and
would
it
make
sense
to
try
to
reclaim
some
of
the
pasture
lands
now
and
reconvert
that
area
to
come
back,
storm
surge
and
sea
level
rise
and
emergence
of
groundwater,
so
I'm
just
throwing
at
this
question.
P
I'm,
just
writing
them
down,
because
there's
a
lot
of
them
so,
first
of
all,
the
trail
is
being
the
patreon
project
is
not
a
Caltrans
project.
It's.
P
Project
the
decision
is
up
to
the
coastal
commission.
P
We
are
looking
at
like
National
Shoreline
infrastructure,
which
would
include
like
oyster
shells
or
other
other
kinds
of
natural
soft
armoring,
and
you
know
reclaiming
the
pasture
lands
like
that's
that's
someone
else's
property.
So
that's
another
thing
that
we
have
to
consider
like
if
how
we
affect
other
properties
along
the
corridor
and
we
are
going
to
be
considering
groundwater
intrusion,
so
I
think
I
got
all
your
comments
and
questions
the
best
I
could
do.
A
All
right
do
we
have
any
other
comments
on
Zoom
this
evening.
Okay,
now
so
I'll
bring
it
back
to
the
council
for
any
final
thoughts
or
questions,
or
we
will
just
say
thank
you
for
enlightening
us
with
that
information
and
a
great
presentation.
So
thank
you.
Clancy
and.
Q
A
Enough
all
right
well
that
will
now
take
us
into
item
12
on
our
agenda
this
evening.
Right
there's
no
action
on
that
item.
A
Yes,
that's
just
informational,
so
we
will
now
move
to
oral
and
written
Communications
again
this
time,
that's
provided
for
people
to
address
the
council
or
submit
written
communication
for
matters
not
on
the
agenda,
know
that,
pursuant
to
the
brown
act,
the
council
cannot
discuss
or
take
action
on
items
that
are
not
listed
on
the
posted
agenda
and
the
council
supported
requests
that
require
Council
action
will
be
set
for
a
future
agenda
or
referred
to
staff
speakers
will
be
limited
to
three
minutes.

A
friend
of
mine,
Larry
Goldberg
posted
a
post
from
Kim
Kemp,
showing
a
video
PG,
E
I.
Guess
it
produced
about.
G
Are
you
prepared
and
it
made
me
re-look
at
my
go
bag,
and
it
also
made
me
want
to
remind
all
of
us
in
the
community
that
I
really
hope
that
we
can
have
some
formal
City
sponsored,
perhaps
emergency
planning
for
our
community,
especially
about
where
to
go
and
where
resources
are
for
food
and
shelter,
and
such
you
know,
should
some
of
us
in
the
lowlands
need
to
go
to
the
Highlands
and
I.
G
You
know,
I
could
talk
about
a
whole
lot
of
other
issues
right
now,
but
I'll
continue
to
email.
You
I
thank
many
of
you
for
responding
to
my
emails.
It's
been
quite
interesting
that
written
exchange
and
I
hope
I
get
a
chance
to
talk
to
you
off
outside
of
these
offices
at
you
know,
individually
for
on
other
issues.
G
F
Thank
you
very
briefly,
going
back
to
what
I
was
talking
about
earlier
about
the
mayor
of
Bratislava
capital
of
Slovakia,
the
Articles
titled
can
better
public
spaces
revolutionize
the
way
we
live
and
that's
what
he's
into
is
providing
better
public
spaces
and
people
thrive
and
prosper
as
a
result.
Among
what
he's
doing
in
his
city
is
reducing
traffic
lanes
and
putting
in
wider
bike
Lanes
as
much
as
they
can
there's
an
old
town
area
of
the
city,
which
includes
a
group
of
pedestrian-only
streets.
Again
this
is
a
medieval
European
city.
F
It
doesn't
apply
to
Arcata.
So
much
I
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
clear
to
you
that
I'm
not
telling
you
how
to
do
your
job.
That's
not
how
I
feel
one
little
bit.
What
I
do
is
alert
you
to
what
I
think
is
important
thanks.
H
In
the
paper
about
a
week
ago,
there
was
a
college
student
that
was
hit
by
a
car
and
pretty
serious.
They
were
rushed
down
to
Santa
Rosa
I
think
they
had
to
have
like
four,
a
female
that
had
four
surgeries
for,
because
of
the
trauma
to
her
brain,
to
release
the
pressure
so
I
know
this
has
been
a
subject
matter
because
we've
had
you
know
a
couple
of
people.
H
H
Bringing
up
addressing
one
alternative
was
to
lower
the
speed
limit,
which
I
would
disagree
with
that
from
the
standpoint
I
think
we
have
a
number
of
people
in
town
that
are
very
good
at
obeying
the
speed
limits
and
they're
good
drivers
and
they're
looking
out
for
for
people
and
and
behaving
well,
and-
and
we
have
another
section
of
folks
that
are
driving
or
whatever
speed
they
want
and
that's
the
problem
I
mean
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
it's
safe,
even
on
a
crosswalk
to
tell
you
the
truth,
because
it's
just
all
the
different
factors
of
what's
going
on
with
drivers.
H
We
have
drivers
that
are
you
know,
simple
things
that
you
can
get
from
the
insurance
company,
they're
texting,
they're
drinking
they're,
doing
drugs
beforehand,
they're
just
not
paying
attention
to
the
road,
and
we
don't
have
any
policing.
I've
I've
said
this
a
number
of
times
no
one's
ever
said,
you're
wrong,
I've
in
five
years,
I've
never
seen
anybody
pull
over.
H
That's
what
you
don't
seem
to
understand
is
that
if
there
isn't
enforcement,
there's
a
certain
section
of
people
that
are
just
going
to
be
a
bad
behavior
in
every
city
in
the
U.S
knows
this:
that's
why
they
put
traffic
cameras
up.
That's
why
people
get
tickets
because
it's
Unfortunately
they
get
a
little.
They
get
a
ticket
in
the
mail
that
lets
them
know
that
their
behavior
is
not
acceptable,
and
we
need
to
have
something
like
that,
because
it's
unacceptable
for
how
small
this
town
is
and
how
many
people
have
been
serious,
injured
or
killed.
H
So
I
don't
know
why
I
have
to
bring
this
up
so
many
times
and
I,
don't
think
I'm
being
harsh
I
think
it's
a
fact
that
that,
for
whatever
reason
I
don't
know
if
it's
a
lack
of
resources
but
I've
been
told
that
we've
hired
another
quite
a
few
police
officers.
Now
so
I
don't
see
any
change
and
if,
without
any
change,
we're
going
to
have
continued
to
see
people
that
are
injured
or
killed.
J
Last
but
not
least,
of
course,
I
want
to
commend
you
all
for
taking
this
these
issues
seriously
and
being
open
to
public
comment.
It's
unfortunate
more
of
us
aren't
here.
You
had
the
same
Fork,
pretty
much
commenting
tonight,
one
after
the
other.
Each
time
it
would
be
nice.
If
we
had
more
views
expressed
here
and
I
know
you
do
get
online
Communications,
which
is
great.
J
We
have
no
idea
what
those
are,
of
course,
because
they
don't
show
up
in
public,
but
it
would
be
great
if
we
could
encourage
more
people
to
do
so.
A
couple
of
us
have
written
articles
to
appear
in
the
Mad
River
Union
and
North
Coast
journal
in
advance
of
the
September
25th
open
house.
Basically
at
the
D
Street
neighborhood
center
and
I
know
you
have
been
advised
or
recommended
not
to
go.
However,
that's
exactly
what
needs
to
happen
that
you
should
go.
C
J
And
then
they
can
perhaps
clarify
those
I
recommended
earlier
that
you
should
hopefully
advertise
this
since
we
haven't
seen
anything
but
something
online
that
we
received
and
I
don't
know
how
many
people
actually
received
it.
J
We
went
ahead
and
did
articles,
so
we
really
would
like
people
to
come,
be
informed
and
get
more
information
on
what's
happening
in
the
city
and
I
hope
you
will
encourage
City
staff
put
something
in
there.
Standard
Lost,
Coast
Journal
further
announcing
this
happening.
Thank
you
very
much
and
hope
to
see
you.
There.
A
A
Well,
there
we
go
thanks
Fred,
it
wasn't
the
Union,
no,
no
okay,
so
I
think
you
could
thank
the
city
for
that,
but
maybe
by
encouragement
of
others
all
right
and
we
have
one
more
comment
online.
We
do
go
ahead.
Q
Right,
I'm
gonna
have
to
change
my
voice
a
little.
It's
actually
Jim,
but
Patricia's
phone
was
on
so
hi
to
council
and
to
staff
and
I
just
wanted
to
reinforce
one
point
that
shredded
made
I
think
a
suggestion
that,
at
the
meeting
on
the
25th
or
I
should
say
the
the
foreign
based
code
open
house
that
the
the
people's
written
suggestions
could
be
posted
and
have
a
chance
for
people
to
view
and
I'm
I
think
what
was
proposed
at
one
point.
Q
If
somebody
wanted
to
be
unanimous,
they
could
put
them
into
a
box
and
otherwise
they
could
be
posted
for
people
to
see
and
have
a
look
at.
I
also
wanted
to
thank
Chief
Ahern
for
all
this
service.
We've
been
to
a
lot
of
meetings
over
the
years
that
he's
been
at
and
other
times
around
town
and
always
appreciate,
seeing
him
and
wish
him
well
and
everything
moving
forward,
and-
and
that's
really
about
it,
and
thanks.
A
Right
on,
thank
you,
Jim
Patricia,
all
right,
if
that's
it
online.
Okay,
that
will
now
take
us
to
council
and
staff
reports
and
we
look
ready
to
go
so
Finance
director,
Tabitha
Miller
has
a
presentation
on
Senate,
Bill,
252
and
253.
K
Good
evening,
so
this
actually
came
up
at
the
August
16th
meeting
in
relationship
to
some
of
the
payments
and
the
accounts
we're
setting
up
for
Calpers,
but
I
wanted
to
Circle
back
around,
because
the
council
had
shown
some
interest
in
delling
dwelling
into
this
issue
a
little
bit
more.
So
first
off
Senate
Bill
252.
It
was
introduced
by
Senators,
Gonzalez,
Stern
and
Weiner,
and
essentially
it
prohibits
new
Investments
or
renewing
investments
in
fossil
fuel
companies
by
public,
the
Public
Employee
Retirement,
System
Calpers,
and
also
the
State
teachers
retirement
system.
K
It
required
liquidation
by
July
1st
of
2031.
A
fossil
fuel
was
defined
as
petroleum,
petroleum
oil,
natural
gas
and
thermal
coal.
A
fossil
fuel
company
was
one
of
the
200
largest
publicly
traded
fossil
fuel
companies,
as
established
by
carbon
content
in
the
company's
proven
oil,
gas
and
coal
reserves,
and
then
an
investment
was
Mutual
included,
mutual
funds
and
Exchange
Trade
to
funds
that
had
a
greater
than
two
percent
investment
fossil
fuel
companies.
K
K
So
it
is
not
one
of
the
bills
that
made
it
to
the
governor's
desk
for
possible
signature,
but
we
are
certain
that
it
will
get
a
chance
again
next
year
and
it
has
had
previous
versions
that
have
had
similar
Fates
and
it's
also
kind
of
noteworthy
that
it
is
similar
to
bills
that
have
happened
in
other
states,
many
of
which
also
failed
this
year.
But
there's
hope
that
those
will
come
forward
again
in
future
years.
K
It
was
interesting
to
kind
of
look
at
some
of
the
support
for
an
opposition
to
this
particular
Bill.
Certainly,
not
surprisingly,
many
environmental
and
climate
groups
were
very
supportive
of
it
and
advocating
for
it
had
a
couple
big
names:
the
state,
treasurer
Fiona,
Mar
and
state
controller.
K
Mahala
Cohen
also
have
supported
this
bill,
and
then
there
was
a
real
Focus,
particularly
by
the
the
the
sponsors
in
the
Senate
on
Labor
organized
labor
groups,
especially
those
that
are
that
are
dependent
on
or
have
received
pensions
from
their
members
and
groups
that
actually
signed
on
to
support
were
the
California
faculty
Association
and
the
California
Nurses
Association.
There
were
also
several
noteworthy
groups
that
opposed
it
in
writing:
California,
professional
firefighters,
the
state
building
and
construction,
trades,
Council
and
California
state
retirees.
K
One
of
the
interesting
thing
is
that
the
real
big
players
in
the
in
the
California
labor
market,
the
California
labor
Federation,
the
Service,
employee,
International,
Union
or
sciu,
and
the
California
Teachers
Association-
didn't
take
a
stand
on
this,
but
what
they,
what
they
reported
back
when
asked,
was
really
that
they
had
a
disc
that
their
members
were
really
divided
on
the
issue.
They
had
people
who
were
very
much
for
it
and
they
had
members
that
were
against
it
and
it
put
them
in
an
awkward
position.
K
Just
a
noteworthy
Calpers
and
calstrs
both
opposed
the
the
bill
and
have
in
the
past
also
just
to
put
it
in
perspective.
Calpers
has
about
9.4
billion
of
their
459
billion
in
Investments,
it's
about
two
percent
calstrs,
it's
5.7
billion
of
307
billion
and
about
1.7
percent
of
their
investment
holding.
So
it's
significant,
but
not
large
in
the
sense
of
of
the
total
Holdings,
and
they
had
estimated
those
two
groups
together
estimated
that
it
would
cost
them.
K
327.6
million
dollars
for
20
years
to
dive
vest
and
the
divesting
cost
is
really
about
the
hard
cost
of
having
to
sell
the
Investments
that
it's
separate
from
the
potential
losses
or
gains
that
could
be.
That
could
be
realized
from
that
process.
But
it's
those
fees
and
the
staff
time
and
the
process
of
going
through
it.
And
this
is
not
the
first
divestment
that
Calpers
or
calstrs
has
been
required
by
by
bills
or
laws
to
go
through
and
in
2016,
and
this
was
data,
but
it
was
on
their
website.
K
They
estimated
that
they
had
lost
about
eight
billion
dollars
due
to
divestments.
Interestingly
enough,
they
also
noted
that
there
were
several
that
worked
in
their
benefits,
so
divesting
from
investments
in
Sudan,
Iran,
thermocol
and
Firearms.
They
actually
were
better
off
having
gone
through
that
process.
K
The
league
of
California
cities
is
also
opposed
to
this
and
their
their
reasoning
is
very
similar.
It
really
comes
down
to
probably
my
biggest
worry,
which
is
the
potential
for
significant
investment
losses
and
increase
short-term
a
long-term
costs
for
the
agencies,
which
ultimately
come
back
to
local
governments
and,
as
the
North
Coast
Journal
I
think
may
have
been
the
last
or
two
papers
ago,
had
an
article
on
the
local.
K
They
also
note
that
it
can
create
a
conflict
with
the
Calpers
Board
of
administration's
fiduciary
duties
to
its
members,
and
this
is
actually
set
forth
in
the
con,
the
California
Constitution,
and
it
is
interesting
because
the
state
of
New
York
pension
programs
are
in
the
process
of
divesting
their
fossil
fuels
and
they
are
being
sued
under
that
very
same
idea
of
fiduciary
duty
by
four
of
their
potential
future
employees
who
will
get
pensions
in
the
future.
Based
on
that
same
idea,
they've
requested
that
that
suit
be
dismissed
but
it'll
be
kind
of
interesting
to
see.
K
If
that's
held
up
and
where
that
comes
out.
And
then
the
question
is
one
of
the
challenges
with
divestment.
Is
that
it's
it's
hard
to
draw
that
line?
There
are
lots
of
issues
out
there
all
very
good
causes
to
get
behind,
but
when
you
start
picking
and
choosing
your
Investments,
it
can
get
pretty
tricky.
K
So
one
of
the
other
items,
if
you
go
through-
and
you
look
at
some
of
the
pro
statements-
certainly
from
the
some
of
the
environmental
groups
and
those
who
really
want
to
take
action
on
climate
change,
they
they've
done
some
research
on
the
investments
in
fossil
fuels
and
certainly
and
and
I've
looked
I
haven't
looked
at
every
one
of
them,
but
I
have
gone
through
a
few
of
them
and
it
is
interesting
because
they
are
basically
saying
that
pensions
would
be
better
off
if
they
had
divested
in
the
past
and
it's
it.
C
K
There
that
they
would
be
better
off
by
about
21
billion
dollars,
and
then
the
corporate
Knights
did
one
for
the
Colorado
Public
Employees
Retirement
System.
Almost
the
same
information
and
determined
that
that
fund
would
be
in
that
10-year
period,
better
off
by
about
2.7
million
dollars
if
they
excluded
fossil
fuels.
K
One
of
the
interesting
things,
though,
that
I
looked
at
is
that
they
really
focused
on
the
market
and
where
there
were
big
gains
in
in
certain
types
of
Investments,
and
if
you
look
at
it
and
you
think
about
it,
whether
or
not
those
pensions
would
have
picked.
Those
Investments
is
kind
of
the
question.
It's
easy
in
hindsight
to
look
back
and
say:
I,
think
information
systems
and
I.T
was
the
the
biggest
gainer
in
that
10-year
period.
Of
course,
looking
back
we'd
all
have
wanted
to
invest
in
those.
K
K
I
did
find
one
one
investment
that
was
actually
done
for
the
teachers
retirement
system
in
New,
York
Ford,
and
it
was
actually
the
contracted
by
their
controller
at
BlackRock
was
the
company
that
did
it
and
they
really
pointed
this
out.
They
they
went
through
and
talked
about
the
fact
that
they
found
that
there
wasn't
any
significant
that
there
wasn't.
K
This
is,
as
of
the
most
current
actual
reports
we
have
from
Calpers.
They
came
out
just
this
last
month
and
you
can
see
our
plan.
Assets
are
just
under
70
million
dollars.
Plan
liability
obviously
is
much
higher
at
a
hundred
point.
Six
million
dollars,
which
leaves
are
actually
Actuarial
unfunded
liability
at
just
under
30
31
million
dollars,
and
our
funded
ratio
is
now
below
70.
K
When
you
look
at
all
our
funds
together,
you
will
notice
that,
unfortunately,
our
two
largest
funds,
which
are
the
miscellaneous
and
the
safety
which
are
the
top
two,
have
the
the
largest
assets,
the
largest
liability,
and
also
the
lowest
funded
rate.
Unfortunately,.
K
So
just
kind
of
focusing
the
the
other
thing
that
kind
of
happened
with
this
and
I
thought.
It
was
interesting
that
two
climate
action
bills,
253
and
261
came
along
and
actually
moved
to
the
governor's
just
just
recently,
but
I
thought
it
would
be
interesting
to
look
at
those
because
there
really
is
this
focus
on
climate.
There's
a
lot
of
action
happening
at
the
state.
They
were
approved
by
the
legislature
and
the
governor
has
already
said
publicly
that
he
will
sign
them
and
and
I
think
he
even
referred
them
to
them
being
Landmark
bills.
K
One
requires
the
5300
companies
that
have
more
than
a
billion
dollars
in
Revenue
to
disclose
their
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
and
this
includes
not
just
the
company's
impacts,
but
their
suppliers
and
their
consumers.
They
did
move
out
some
of
the
penalty
dates
and
give
some
reprieve
to
that
at
the
last
minute
last
week
and
then
261
will
require
companies
to
disclose
Financial
Risk
from
climate
change
and
measures
to
reduce
those
risks
and
make
those
reports
available
on
their
website.
K
So
it's
obviously
about
more
transparency
into
these
issues
and
a
couple
other
kind
of
noteworthy
things
that
just
happened
in
the
last
week
when
it
comes
to
fossil
fuels
and
climate
change.
You
probably
have
seen
in
the
news
that
our
state
is
suing
Exxon,
Mobil,
shell,
Chevron
Conoco,
Phillips,
BP
and
American
petroleum
for
knowingly
deceiving
the
public
about
the
risk
of
fossil
fuels,
causing
harm
to
communities
in
the
environment.
We're
also
seeing,
as
I
mentioned,
other
pension
systems
embracing
divestment,
state
of
New
York,
the
state
of
Maine.
K
The
California
University
system
has
already
gone
gone
this
route
and
there
were
bills
similar
to
to
252
in
Oregon,
New,
Jersey
and
Vermont.
They
were
not
successful,
but
everybody
anticipates
that
those
will
be
back
every
year
for
a
while
and
then
of
course,
Governor
Newson.
At
the
climate
week
in
New,
York
City
announced
that
he
would
sign
these
two
bills
and
made
a
point
of
saying
that
he
never
talks
about
what
bills
he'll
sign
ahead
of
time.
K
But
this
was
landmarks,
so
they
seem
to
be
important
and
I'm
just
going
to
throw
this
out,
even
though
it's
kind
of
unrelated,
because
it's
important
and
it's
it's
one
of
the
few
things
I
pay
attention
to
on
the
on
what's
coming
forward.
But
two
proposed
amendments
that
will
come
to
voters
in
November
of
2024..
K
A
K
I
will
also
because
I
got
fascinated:
I've
got
quite
a
few
articles
and
I'll
I'll
just
put
links
to
the
Articles,
and
then
you
can
decide
if
you're
interested
in
reading
them
or
not
I'm.
L
So
glad
we
hired
you
Tabitha.
Thank
you
so
much
for
you
know.
You
saw
that
this
was
something
that
we
were
interested
in
and
you
took
it
and
ran
with
it
and
made
such
like
an
important
and
informative
presentation.
Thank
you
for
all
the
time
that
you
spend
talking
about
pensions.
C
L
Me
but
but
really
this
was
a
really
great
presentation,
I'm
looking
forward
to
like
studying
it
again
and
yeah.
Thank
you.
B
So
yeah
likewise,
thank
you
for
this
informative
report
and
I
too,
would
love
to
look
at
the
PowerPoint
I
appreciate
you.
Bringing
this
back
to
us.
B
I
would
very
much
like
to
have
this
agenda
is
for
a
future
business
item
so
that
the
public
can
have
an
opportunity
to
make
oral
comment,
and
while
there
are
some,
not
so
big
names
as
the
ones
that
you
mentioned,
council
did
receive
a
letter
from
Patrick
Carr
in
which
there
were
25
community
members
that
had
signed
this
topic
of
divesting
from
fossil
fuels,
and
some
of
those
names
that
had
come
up
were
Julie
neander,
Colin,
Fisk,
Mark,
Andre,
Matthew,
Simmons,
Rhys,
Hughes,
una
Smith
and
more
and
I
guess.
B
You
know
I'm
happy
that
we
have
261
coming
because
I
guess,
if
folks
don't
care
about
climate
change,
at
least
they
care
about
how
it
affects
their
pocketbook
and
it's
unfortunate
that
they
don't
want
to
do
what's
right
for
the
planet,
but
they'll
do
rats
right
for
the
pop
pocketbook,
so
I'm
glad
that
there's
that
stop
Gap
measure.
But
you
know
we
have
unprecedented
fire.
I
mean
today
everybody
could
smell
the
smoke
and
yet
we
are
not
investing
with
a
conscience
and
I
understand.
You
know
it.
B
We
we
have
a
fiduciary
responsibility
to
the
members
and
and
with
that
I
feel,
like
you
know,
we
talked
about
the
court.
You
talked
about
the
corporate
night
study
and
I
have
some
different
information
from
2009
to
2019,
which
is
still
the
10
years,
and
it
says
that
if
Calpers
or
calstrs
hadn't
divested
from
fossil
fuel
Investments,
they
would
have
gained
11.9
and
5.5
billion
dollars
respectively
and
I
understand.
B
A
K
We
don't
and
I
and
I,
wouldn't
go
so
far
as
to
say
that
we
don't
have
investments
in
fossil
fuels
because
most
of
our
all
of
the
vehicles
we
are
using
are
other
pools,
and
so
it's
it
would
be
extraordinarily
difficult
for
us
individually
to
go
out
and
take
those
on
and
and
basically
not
necessarily,
invest
in,
like
the
state
system.
You
know
the
state
system
through
the
treasurer's
office,
they
have
very
limited,
but
it's
mostly
based
on
limited
investment
opportunities
and
they
keep
everything
fairly
short
terms.
K
So
most
of
that
happens
to
be
a
lot
of
you
know
federal
government
Investments,
but
they
are
also
allowed
to
invest
in
like
double
and
triple
A.
You
know
corporate
bonds
and
stocks,
and
so
there
is
a
potential
for
that
there.
The
other
place
is
that
you
know
we.
We
do
have
a
a
separate
investment
account
that
is
handled
by
Handler,
which
is
an
investment
firm.
That
does
that
and
we
we
can
look
at
that.
K
I
think
you
know,
and-
and
the
question
is
bringing
this
public
there
isn't
there
isn't
a
bill
currently
out
there
being
proposed
because
it's
it's
not
in
place
and
there
isn't
any
action
that
our
legislatures
will
take
now.
But
it
certainly
is
something
that
you
can
consider
for
your
platform
for
your
legislative
platform
going
forward
and
that
might
be
kind
of
the
place
to
put
this.
K
I
do
think
you
also
have
to
take
into
account
and
I
don't
disagree
with
that
at
all
the
the
fact
that
the
city
will
will
still
pick
up
the
majority
of
that
shortfall.
So
if,
if
we
divest
and
it
costs
money,
then
the
city
is
the
one
that
has
to
make
up
the
difference,
especially
for
those
two
large
pension
groups
that
aren't
necessarily
doing
cost
sharing
with
those
increases.
K
So
we
just
need
to
be
mindful
of
the
impact
financially
on
the
city
and
and
anything
we
do
and
I
think
you
know
I
think
as
an
employee,
you
know,
I
would
I
would
love
to
go
this
direction.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
it
doesn't
hurt
future
services
and
what
we
can
do
as
a
city
as
far
as
providing
services
and
our
own
climate
action
plans
and
our
own
actions
like
electric
buses
and
stuff
going
forward
that
do
have
a
big
impact.
A
Also
shout
out
to
the
law,
firms
that
are
suing
a
big
oil
and
suing
the
various
all
the
states
and
cities
and
municipalities,
and
that's
my
sister
and
she
was
one
of
the
lawyers
at
that
firm
and
argued
in
federal
court
last
week.
So
we
love,
we
love
to
see
that
Sue,
the
oil
companies
all
right,
any
other
questions
for
Tabitha
folks.
Thank
you
again.
So
much
and
yeah
I
would
love
to
get
my
hands
on
that
presentation.
A
It
was
really
interesting,
and
so
just
thank
you
for
bringing
that
and
I
like
to
have
those
updates
on
what's
going
on
in
our
state
ledge
too.
It's
interesting
to
see
so
thank
you.
Okay
and
that'll.
Take
us
now
to
our
Council
reports
and
we'll
go
to
my
right
here
and
we'll
start
with
Meredith
and
go
down
the
line.
L
Okay,
so
I
will
not
be
attending
the
form-based
code
program
on
Monday,
because
you
know
it's
my
third
September
on
the
council
and
the
third
time
that
something
has
been
scheduled
on
Yom
Kippur,
and
maybe
it's
me
for
like
saying:
oh,
it's
not
a
big
deal,
it's
not
a
big
deal,
but
it
is
a
big
deal.
L
It's
basically
like
scheduling
something
on
Christmas
day,
and
you
know
we
sit
up
here
and
we
make
these
proclamations
like
stressing
inclusivity
and
we
are
really
kind
of
a
whole
section
of
the
population
that
is
not
going
to
be
able
to
come
to
this
and
I.
Just
think
it's
it's
and
it
looks
it's
a
really
bad.
Look
for
us
that
we
do
not
consider
you
know
this.
Is
you
know
Jewish
hot?
It's
look
at
a
calendar.
The
Jewish
holidays
are
Sundown
to
sundown.
L
You
know
I
will
be
fasting
until
sundown
I
just
so
anyway,
if
you're
celebrating
Yom,
Kippur,
I'm,
very
sorry
that
you're
not
going
to
be
able
to
attend
this,
please
come
talk
to
me.
You
know
I
can
I'm
sure
that
David
will
make
sure
to
put
something
together
for
those
of
us
that
can't
go
but
I
mean
this
is
really
the
last
time.
I'm
gonna
say
it's:
okay,
it's
okay,
because
it's
really
just
not
okay,
all
right!
That
was
my
whole.
You
know
soapbox
on
that.
Other
things.
Sorry,
that's
really
upsetting!
L
We
need
to
I'd
like
to
talk
about.
Maybe
agendizing
renaming
the
D
Street
Neighborhood
Center
I
mean
the
city
couldn't
even
get
it
right
on
their
press
release
where
the
form-based
code
was
so
I.
Think
that
maybe
now
it's
time
to
talk
about
renaming
it,
the
Coalition
for
responsible
transportation
is
doing
a
week
without
driving
on
October
2nd
through
8th.
A
I
share
a
point
on
that.
Yes,
please,
because
Colin
said
to
me
too,
because
I
was
like
I
can't
actually
get
to
work
by
the
time
I
need
to
in
Eureka.
If
I
take
the
bus,
I've
looked
it
up,
I've
tried
it.
I,
don't
get
there
on
time
and
he
said
well.
That's
great,
then,
share
on
social
media.
Tell
people
about
your
hardships
of
trying
to
be
without
a
car,
because
that
again
opens
our
eyes
and
I
was
talking
to
him.
I
was
like
oh
yeah.
A
L
Like
I
said
and
I
told
Colin
I'll
do
my
best
I,
don't
know
yeah
oh
yeah
and
I
had
a
really
great
meeting
with
the
fire
chief
Justin
McDonald.
We
had
a
really
great
talk,
so
we
are
talking
to
people.
Thank
you.
A
Foreign
I
also
had
a
grant
meeting
with
the
fire
chief
and
fire
board
Feister
chair
and
city
manager
Deemer.
So
again
we
are
talking
to
our
our
districts
that
oversee
much
of
the
space
of
Arcata,
but
also
all
the
way
to
the
county
at
McKinleyville
out
where
I
grew
up
out,
fickle,
Hill
out
everywhere
and
so
they're,
covering
a
lot
of
area
and
doing
a
lot
of
work
and
so
again
to
make
sure
that
they
have
the
adequate
support
and
Arcata.
Usually.
A
Does
it
pretty
well
so
shout
out
McKinleyville
vote
to
support
their
tax
messers
and
continue
to
provide
funding
to
our
fire
department,
because
again
they
provide
an
essential
service
to
not
only
Arcata
but
the
whole
arcade
of
fire
district
and
kind
of
this
North
part
of
the
county.
So
that
being
said,
I
actually
don't
really
have
many
other
Council
updates
we're
always
sitting
here
on
the
our
second
meeting
of
the
month.
It's
right
before
my
my
big
rcea
board
meeting.
So
nothing
really
else
to
add.
Thank
you.
Go
to
Kimberly.
B
So
I
guess
I
want
to
start
off
in
saying
that
I'm
really
sorry
Meredith,
that
this
was
scheduled
during
a
Jewish
holiday
and
I,
realize
it's
late
date.
I
suspect
that
there's
no
turning
back
or
that
we
can't
reschedule
this.
No.
So
moving
forward.
I
think
that
we
will
be
very
cognizant
to
not
do
that
and
check
the
calendar
and
I
also
appreciate
The
Pledge
and
likewise
I
was
going
to
do
it
and
then
I
thought
wow.
B
So
I'm
going
to
leave
my
teenage
daughter
at
her
school
in
Eureka
for
an
hour
and
the
building
doesn't
open
and
it's
in
the
bad
part
of
town
and
I
also
have
a
fused
ankle.
So
it
is
a
little
bit
challenging,
sometimes
for
me
if
the
bus
doesn't
get
me
exactly
where
it's
going,
I
did
write
it
for
two
semesters
at
Cal,
Poly
humble
recently,
when
I
returned
and
yeah
it
is
a
challenge.
We
need
more
bus,
stops
more
frequent
bus
stops
and
I'm
happy
to
hear
that
it
is
happening
yes
and
Sundays.
B
Yes,
so
that
I
was
invited
to
do
a
PowerPoint
presentation
to
the
sunrise
Rodeo
last
week
to
discuss
all
the
wonderful
improvements
in
community
engagement
in
Valley,
West
and
North
Arcata,
so
that
was
a
lot
of
fun
I
attended
festehando,
which
had
a
great
turnout.
B
It
was
a
wonderful
time
of
sharing
of
diverse
Heritage
lots
of
work
workshops,
food
vendors,
entertainment,
dancing,
lots
and
lots
of
colors
with
yeah
activities
for
all
ages
and
I
wanted
to
thank
the
Humboldt
Transit
Authority,
even
though
I
just
said
some
things
that
they
did
provide
a
free
bus
Saturday
to
CR.
For
that
event
and
then
a
shout
out
to
Coalition
for
responsible
transportation
for
their
bike,
valet
service
at
the
North,
Country,
Fair
and
I
very
much
appreciate
the
zero
waste
efforts
and
thank
you,
Brighton,
green
and
another
big.
B
Thank
you,
of
course,
to
HTA
for
their
free
bus
service.
On
Saturday
to
the
fair
there
I
attended
a
homeless
housing
working
group.
Today
there
was
some
updates
on
safe
parking.
We
talked
about
ways
of
increasing
homeless
services
and
then
I
have
a
meeting
tomorrow
with
the
fire
chief
and
Eric
Loudoun
slider
in
the
morning.
So
that's
all
I
have.
D
Okay,
so
I'm
happy
that
I'm
here,
because
I
started
to
step
out
onto
a
sidewalk
and
there
was
a
bicyclist
coming
down
the
sidewalk
and
they
was
going
so
fast
and
I
was
just
sort
of
you
know.
If
I'd
gone
out
a
little
bit
further
I
would
have
I,
don't
know
what
condition
I
would
have
been
in
because
I
would
have
been
hit
by
that
bicycle
and
he
just
kept
on
going
so
anyhow.
It
was
scary
to
see
that
and
I'm
really
happy
whatever
kept
me
from
stepping
out
earlier.
D
We
got
a
a
message,
all
of
us,
an
email
from
Dan
gritness,
and
he
was
interested
in
looking
at
Northtown
and
thinking
about
one
lane
of
traffic
and
having
parallel
traffic
perpendicular
whatever
it
is.
That
goes
this
way
all
the
way
down,
and
he
is
he
was
interested
in
looking
at
that,
and
he
was
he
said
when
we
were
Paving
the
street.
There
was
something
that
actually
happened,
and
you
can
remember
reading
his
email,
but
I
thought
it
might
be
a
good
idea
to
ask
that
to
go
back
to
the
transportation
committee.
D
A
D
Look
at
it
so
another
another
item
is
that
I'm
waiting
to
find
out
if
he
has
to
be
four
actually
passed
I'm,
not
too
sure
that
is
the
one
that
allows
housing
on
religious
properties
to
be
able
and
I
I
do
know
that
Jennifer
darg
is
keeping
track
of
that
one,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
religious
properties
in
our
area
and
they
have
quite
a
large
parcels,
and
it
might
be
something
that
we
could
actually
do
so
this.
D
So
we've
always
had
this
well
my
experience
anyway,
that
we
stay
on
this
side
of
Mad
River
and
that
we
don't
cross
over
the
Mad
River.
And
so
you
know,
I've
been
thinking
about
the
fact
that
McKinleyville
wants
to
incorporate
and
Arcada
has
all
these
issues
with
sea
level
rise.
Etc
McKinleyville
doesn't
have
that,
and
maybe
we
should
really
think
about
us
actually
becoming
part
of
McKinleyville
and
McKinleyville
becoming
part
of
Arcata.
D
That
would
take
care
of
this
whole
discussion
that
we,
you
are
going
to
be
in
a
study
session
on,
because
we
wouldn't
even
have
to
think
about
anything
there.
We
could
have
a
lot
of
high
land,
Farmland,
Etc
and
and
then
my
we
have
the
ability
to
actually
run
a
city.
We've
been
doing
it
for
a
long
time
and
I'm
thinking
that
maybe
that
would
be
an
asset
be,
but
for
years
we
said
no
way
will
Al
Qaeda
ever
go
across
the
Mad
River,
and
maybe
that
was
an
error
on
our
part.
D
Maybe
we
should
really
have
been
thinking
about
going
across
the
Mad
River
figuring
out
what
we
could
do
to
help
them
provide
services
Etc
that
they
desperately
would
like
and
and
then
that
would
have
given
us
an
area
of
growth
that
we
could
have
actually
had.
That
would
meet
our
needs
and
we
wouldn't
have
to
be
so
concerned
about
sea
level
rise
and
we
would
have
a
nice
plant
somewhere
in
McKinleyville
for
our
sewer
treatment
Etc.
D
So
I
just
wanted
to
throw
that
out
that
maybe
we
should
think
about
that
and
see
what
they
all
think
and
well
how
the
county
would
feel
about
that
and
we'd
make
it
much
better
for
us.
So
those
those
are
my
thoughts
and
I'm
here,
because
I
didn't
get
run
over
by
a
bike.
So
I
could
talk
about
it.
