City of Arcata Live Stream
A
Thank
you
good
evening
and
thank
you
for
viewing
the
February
1st
meeting
of
the
Arcata
city
council.
The
city
council
is
being
held
as
a
hybrid
meeting,
with
both
in-person
attendance
and
Teller
conference
access
via
Zoom.
The
first
item
on
our
agenda
this
evening
is
land
acknowledgment.
The
city
of
Arcata
acknowledges
that
the
lands
we
are
located
on
are
the
unseated
ancestral
lands
of
the
wiat
tribe.
A
The
land
that
Arcata
rests
on
is
known
in
the
wiat
language
as
gudini,
meaning
over
in
the
woods
or
among
the
Redwoods
past
actions
by
local
state
and
federal
governments
remove
the
we
ought
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.
This
acknowledgment
seeks
to
Aid
in
dismantling
the
Legacy
narratives
of
settler
colonialism.

If
you
wish

that
first

then
move

Our
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
early
oral
Communications.
The
city

values
your
comments.
This
15-minute
time
period
allows
people
to
address
the
Council
on
matters
that
are
not
on
the
agenda.
Please
know
that,
pursuant
to
the
brown
act,
the
council
cannot
discuss
or
take
action
on
items
that
are
not
listed
on
the
posted
agenda.
A
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
may
be
limited
to
two
minutes.
There
will
also
be
time
for
public
comment
on
each
specific
agenda
item
and
again
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
under
item
12..
So
please
make
your
way
to
the
podium.
F
My
name
is
Darren
Ferreira
I'm,
a
Dairy
Farmer
and
also
the
owner
of
Ferrera
and
Son
Dairy
bottling
plant
down
here
in
Arcata,
bottoms
I
started
to
run
into
a
little
bit
of
an
issue
with
glass
bottles,
glass
bottles.
You
know
Arcata
everybody.
We
love
to
have
them,
but
they're
hard
to
get
returned.
The
other
problem
that
we're
having
is
getting
them
from
Canada,
because
I
was
the
only
Factory
that
makes
these
glass
bottles
in
this
bulk
that
we
can
get.
Shipping
is
killing
us
4,
000
bottles.
F
It
cost
me
over
three
thousand
dollars
just
in
shipping,
so
you
know
250
at
the
store
that
I'm
charging
for
these
bottles
doesn't
even
cover
it
and
I'm
losing
money
on
it.
So
what
I've
been
trying
to
propose
for
the
last
two
years,
I've
been
trying
to
talk
to
individuals
that
are
already
in
the
glass
making
that
want
to
expand
their
businesses,
a
glass
factory
right
here
in
Humboldt
County,
a
small
mon
paw.
F
Where
not
only
do
we
make
the
glass
for
the
breweries
for
myself
for,
say
Strauss
Rosa
Brothers
the
wineries,
but
we
also
make
it
the
recycling
center
so
take
away
that
Trucking,
Humboldt
County
is
all
about
being
green
and
being
Eco.
Well,
let's
take
away
some
of
that
Trucking
and
let's
make
that
factory
Recycling
and
make
a
product
all
the
same
place.
G
H
Evening
I
asked
you
to
see
the
editorial
in
last
week's
Mad
River
Union.
It's
also
in
the
editorial
section
of
arcader1.com
about
building
Heights
in
the
Gateway
plan.
There's
three
different
local
experts
for
three
different
reasons
believe
that
anything
over
four
stories
is
not
likely
to
happen,
not
economically
viable.
If
you
haven't
viewed
Danko
president
Chris
Stark's
Ali
presentation,
please
do
there's
a
full
transcript
of
the
presentation
on
arcader1.com
in
terms
of
the
Gateway
plan.
What
are
our
goals?
I
see
it
as
housing
that
regular
working
people
can
afford
home
ownership.
H
Currently,
there's
no
schools,
playgrounds
or
Parks
other
than
the
park,
that's
slated
for
where
ring
Inflatables
is
and
whenever
they
move
away,
which
is
also
one
more
reason
for
the
L
Street
linear
Park.
All
these
are
people
oriented
needs
that
are
part
of
the
promises
of
the
Gateway
plan,
but
not
likely
to
occur
unless
we
actually
take
some
action.
H
But
what
bothers
me
most
is
much
of
what
we're
seeing
is
ordinary.
It
lacks
Humanity
lacks
innovation.
Seven
months
ago,
I
spoke
to
the
Planning
Commission
about
the
prospect
of
actually
requiring
home
ownership
opportunities
in
the
Gateway
plan.
There's
no
law
that
would
require
it.
What
I
said
was:
let's
do
something
bold,
let's
not
do
something
normal
or
we're
just
going
to
have
more
of
the
same,
even
if
it
means
creating
new
law.
I
think
the
state
of
California
is
ready.
H
The
I'll
give
you
a
handout
later
that
has
more
of
the
quote:
I'm
honor,
also
on
a
kindergart.com
there's
a
really
Innovative
building
in
Berkeley,
it's
the
size
of
Searle
Park,
but
has
twice
as
many
units
twice
as
many
people.
The
entire
roof
is
a
farm,
not
just
a
garden
but
an
actual
Farm.
It
won
an
AIA
award,
that's
what
we
want
for
Arcata.
We
want
the
L
Street
linear
Park,
as
an
example
of
innovative
design.
I
say,
make
some
decisions
and
move
forward.
Thank
you.
J
This
is
completely
within
the
law,
it's
funny
timing,
but
for
myself
and
64
of
the
people
who
live
in
Arcata.
This
is
a
real
threat
to
our
livelihood
and
you
just
way
of
being.
If
someone
can
be
evicted
at
no
fault
of
their
own
at
a
drop
of
a
hat,
that's
presents
a
great
amount
of
instability
for
the
day-to-day
life.
So
apart
from
ab1483
and
the
Costa
Hawkings
act,
there's
no
protections
for
renters
in
Arcata.
You
know
these
are
the
blanket
laws
that
cover
renters
in
California,
which
clearly
offer
little
to
no
protection.
J
So
what
I'm
asking
the
council
is
to
put
something
on
the
agenda
that
codifies
protections
for
tenants.
You
know
what
that
looks
like
is
up
to
you
and
public
input,
but
we
need
something
to
protect.
The
majority
of
people
who
live
here.
64
percent
of
our
Cadence
are
renters,
so,
with
the
Gateway
looming
on
the
horizon
and
more
and
more
opportunities
for
landlords
to
increase
their
Holdings
I'd
like
you
to
really
take
a
a
look
at
what
you
can
do
to
help
people
like
myself
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
K
This
audit
verified
our
fears
that
a
large
number
of
vehicles
were
driving
the
wrong
way
on
Grant,
which
is
a
one-way
Street,
and
it
also
documented
that
60
of
the
vehicles
were
exceeding
the
speed
limit,
some
driving
upwards
of
50
miles
per
hour
in
the
school
zone
during
school
hours.
Since
then,
the
city
has
painted
stripes
and
an
arrow
on
Ross
Street,
which
is
a
designated
dead-end
Street
and
not
an
entrance
to
the
school.
These
have
proven
futile
in
calming
or
diverting
traffic.
K
Although
these
measures
did
not
deter
all
infractions,
they
did
increase
awareness,
but,
alas,
the
city
has
long
since
removed
them,
and
the
infractions
have
risen
once
again.
Recently,
speeding
cars
have
driven
across
Lawns
and
even
on
the
sidewalk
during
school
hours,
we
have
seen
citizens
killed
in
crosswalks
and
on
sidewalks
in
our
neighborhood.
Please
take
strides
to
protect
our
students,
our
families
and
our
neighborhood.
K
A
A
N
So
hello
I'm,
watching
on
YouTube
there's
no
video
on
the
city
Council
on
the
website
for
the
city
council,
I'm,
watching
on
YouTube
and
there's
a
delay
so
I
didn't
know.
I
was
up
and
I
really
wanted
a
comment
on
the
consent
calendar.
So
could
you
get
those
videos
up
because
people
aren't
being
even.
N
A
L
To
let
us
know
minute
track.
Our
software
that
operates
on
our
website
is
struggling.
We
are
up
on
zoom
and
on
YouTube
Zoom
would
be
the
most
real-time
live
and
if
not,
we
are
just
on
early
oral
Communications
right
now,
but
I
that
call-in
user
I
will
hold
for
your
consent
calendar
item
and
make
sure
to
pull
you
up.
A
O
Hi
there
Luke
Bessemer
relatively
long
time,
resident
of
Arcata
wanted
to
just
voice
support
for
what
we
heard
earlier
gentleman.
That
said
we
should
have.
If
we
have
a
recycling
facility,
we
should
figure
out
something
to
do
on
site
to
process.
What
we
can
and
produce
more
products
here
just
makes
perfect
sense,
creates
jobs,
recycles
recycling
stream.
O
Secondly,
the
gentleman
that
said
that
we
need
housing
opportunities.
We
need
opportunities
for
people
to
buy
homes
here.
Massive
amounts
of
apartment
complexes
are
not
going
to
help
build
long-term
stability
in
this
place,
which
goes
to
so
so
we
need
small.
You
know
small
homes
that
people
can
purchase,
and
it
kind
of
goes
supports
the
the
lady
that
talked
about
rent
control
or
we're
not
rent
control,
but
you
just
can't
get
kicked
out
of
your
place.
O
We
need
to
have
residents
that
feel
safe
and
comfortable
in
their
homes,
because
so
they
can
invest
in
their
long-term
Futures,
as
opposed
to
be
worried
about
whether
or
not
they
might
get
kicked
out
at
some
point
in
time.
So
a
couple
things
there
is
yeah.
We
need
something
to
to
help
these
renters
out,
so
they
can
stay
in
their
homes
without
worrying
and,
secondly,
we
need
to
develop
more
opportunities
for
people
to
buy
homes
here,
so
they
can
start
families
and
really
help
to
build
this
community
up.
O
M
M
P
Hi,
my
name
is
Joanne
McGarry
I
come
here
often
so
I
wanted
others
to
speak
before
me,
but
I'm
glad
to
have
the
opportunity
for
the
scouts.
I
brought
a
another
flag,
my
peace
and
love
flag.
A
lot
of
people
comment
on
it
when
I
walk
around
with
it.
I
also
carry
an
Earth
flag
occasionally,
but
today
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
power
of
three.
This
is
another
things
the
scouts
might
be
interested
in.
P
P
A
Thank
you.
Okay.
We
usually
don't
blah
blah
blah.
Thank
you.
It's
positive
I,
like
the
Applause
okay,
any
more
in-person
public
comment
before
we
wrap
up
early
oral
Communications,
okay
and
just
a
quick
response
to
some
of
the
statements
that
were
made.
I
have
been
researching
and
talking
to
staff
about
expanding
tenant
protections,
and
maybe
this
is
now
since
it's
been
brought
up
a
good
time
too.
If
anybody
else
wants
to
jump
on
the
ship
with
me
and
direct
staff
to
you
know,
continue
that
research
and
bring
something
to
us.
A
A
Talking
about
evictions
well
well
before
getting
it
there's
a
lot
of
great
tenant
protections
that
happened
under
under
covid.
That
really
could
be
expanded
to
all
of
the
time
and
also
to
all
different
types
of
construction,
especially
new
construction
that
are
not
officially
on
on
the
books
for
all
of
the
State
of
California
and
some
communities.
They
have
expanded
those
protections
and
so
yeah
evictions,
mostly
but
rent,
rent
stabilization
as
well
and
other
tenant
protections.
A
Okay,
yeah
60
days,
not
very
long,
okay,
so
again
to
not
have
a
discussion
up
here.
I
think
there
are
at
least
three
of
us
that
want
to
direct
staff
to
do
a
little
bit
more
research
on
that.
So
that
sounds
like
a
consensus
to
me.
I
see
some
nods
all
right.
Thank
you
for
oral
early
oral
Communications
folks,
okay.
We
are
now
going
to
move
to
item
eight
on
the
calendar,
which
is
the
consent

and
get
to
the
meat
and
the
business
part
of

meeting.
A
All
matters
on
the
cons
and
thank
you
for
being
here
and
if
you
do
have
to
go,
sometimes
we
can
get
lengthy,
so
do
not
feel
awkward
if
you
got
to
sneak
out
at
any
point.
But
again,
thank
you
for
being
here
all
matters
on
the
consent.

Would
any
council
member
like
to
remove
an
item
from
the
consent?
L
A
C
L
A
P
Yes,
my
name
is
Joanna
Gary
and
I'm
excited
that
we're
talking
about
EV
charging
stations
I
had
the
opportunity
to
walk
around
town
as
I
often
do,
but
out
to
the
community
center
a
couple
of
days
ago
and
noticed
the
charging
stations
there.
I
know
the
charging
stations
near
here,
I,
don't
know
where
some
of
the
others
are,
but
also
in
social
media
as
I'm
roaming
through
and
I
get
a
lot
of
people
commenting
on
energy,
renewable
energy
and
climate.
P
Above
those
charging
stations,
is
really
something
that
we
ought
to
be
jumping
on
real
soon.
You
know
it's
going
to
be
soon
mandated.
Why?
Why
wait?
So,
let's
get
going
on
that?
And
hopefully
our
cea
can
appreciate
that
concept
as
well
in
their
portfolio,
discussion
of
energy.
So
I
don't
know
if
this
really
directly
applies
to
what
you're
talking
about
here,
because
all
this
language
and
numbers
and
stuff
confuses
me,
but
we
need
we
need
renewable
energy
in
our
electric
vehicle
charging
stations.
R
C
A
Q
Sure
so
the
minimum
for
the
reap
Grant
is
200.
000
and
I'm
told
that
this
can't
be
pulled
apart,
which
would
have
been
my
preference
I
want
to
preface
that
I'm
going
to
vote
for
this,
because
I
am
very
much
in
favor
of
Workforce
housing,
which
is
the
200
000
portion
of
the
request
for
the
reap
Grant.
The
other
50
000
is
the
Turner
lab,
which
is
the
dashboard
housing
and
I
am
you
know,
presented
last
time.
Q
Some
of
my
concerns
I'm
still
concerned
I
hope
I'm
wrong,
but
you
know
another
concern
is
that
we
are
going
full
steam
ahead
and
going
to
be
committing
another
or
committing
fifty
thousand
dollars
of
public
money
on
something
that
we
have
no
idea
how
that's
going
to
be.
We
were
offered
this
free.
Try
before
you
buy
trial
and
I
had
hoped
that
we
would
do
that
before.
A
A
D
I
just
want
to
say
that
in
the
end
of
March
I'm
intending
a
Civic
well
conference
that
I'm
really
excited
about
and
tenor
Labs
is
going
to
be
one
of
the
people
that
are
presenting
that
so
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
Bringing
everybody's
questions
and
concerns
and
speak
to
them
directly.
But
I
really
am
looking
forward
to
their
presentation
and
looking
forward
to
see
what
they
can
bring
to
Arcata.
G
A
N
Okay,
thank
you
for
taking
my
call
I
feel
like
you're
pulling
a
fast
one
on
us
here,
because
last
time
you
said
that
the
fifty
thousand
dollars
was
supposed
to
be
after
we
did
the
mou's
free
portion.
So
why
is
it
on
the
consent
calendar
for
250
000?
The
I
support
the
medical
Workforce
housing,
but
the
250
000,
the
extra
fifty
thousand
after
you
had
said
that
we
had
a
a
free
period
and
now
you're
Suddenly
It's,
suddenly
on
the
consent,
calendar,
I,
I'm,
sorry
I
just
think
that's
inappropriate.
N
It
shouldn't
be
on
the
consent,
calendar
and
I
think
you
should
pull
those
two
items
apart,
because
that's
not
what
you
presented
to
the
public
the
last
time
you
talked
about
the
Turner
housing
database.
So
so,
please,
you
know,
consider
pulling
those
two
apart.
I
think
this
is
wrong
and
I
think
it's
it's.
It
was
misrepresented
to
the
community
and
I
appreciate
everything
you're
doing,
but
you
know
come
on
now.
A
Yeah
David,
if
you
wanna
or
Karen,
you
want
to
just
clarify
this
point
of
confusion.
But
again
this
is
just
a
Grant
application
which
we
did
discuss
at
our
last
meeting
that
we
would
apply
for
the
grant
to
hopefully
get
funding
to
then
after
the
year,
trial
pay
for
the
program,
and
so
this
is
not
us
paying
for
anything.
L
I
think
you
said
it
perfectly
yeah
yeah
I
was
just
going
to
clarify
I
think
this
is
exactly
what
we
talked
about
at
your
last
meeting.
The
first
year
is
being
developed
with
grants
at
the
Turner
lab
has,
and
that
we
did
talk
about
that.
We
would
be
turning
around
pretty
immediately
to
file
for
this
Grant
and
adding
in
the
potential
for
those
two
more
years
of
support
services
for
that
product.
L
Q
I
ask
a
quick
question
so
saying
we
might
not
be
satisfied
with
that
first
trial
period
and
say:
hypothetically
we
were
awarded
that
Grant
and
we
decided
not
to
go
forward.
Would
we
have
to
give
the
entire
reap
grant
funding
back
or
could
we
decide
not
to
do
the
additional
50
000
only
and
still
keep
the
awarded
amount
of
200
000
for
the
open
door,
Workforce
housing.
L
I
think
we
can
never
guarantee
what
a
grantor
is
going
to
say,
but
if
we
found
after
you
know,
six
or
nine
months-
and
we
were
having
concerns
about
the
product,
I
think
it
would
be
our
due
diligence
to
go
to
our
grantors
and
say
you
know
we
applied
for
this
money
based
on
what
we
thought
was
going
to
be
returns.
It's
not
returning.
A
Motion
passes
unanimously
that
moves
us
into
new
business.
There
is
no
old
business.
We're
going
directly
to
new
business
here,
so
item
a
is
to
receive
an
update
on
the
city's
trail
system
and
take
action
as
appropriate,
and
we
will
be
having
a
staff
report
from
Environmental
Services
director
Emily
sinkhorn.
I
So
we
have
a
really
diverse
trail
system.
We
have
over
40
miles
of
trails
that
we
maintain
every
week
every
day
every
month
and
make
updates
to
and
expand.
So
we
have
seven
and
three
quarters
of
miles
of
paved
Trails,
including
the
three
mile
Humboldt
Bay
Trail
North.
We
have
over
two
dozen
of
trails
in
the
community
forest
for
hiking,
equestrian
use
and
mountain
biking.
I
I
did
want
to
take
us
on
a
quick
tour
of
what
that
looks
like
kind
of
an
in
an
overview.
So
here
is
a
map
showing
our
paved
trails
in
purple.
Our
soft
surface,
natural
surface
trails
in
blue
and
we'll
zoom
in
on
a
couple
places
that
we
all
probably
most
of
us
have
been
to.
But
the
Arcata
Marsh
and
Wildlife
Sanctuary
again
about
five
miles
of
trails,
can
make
tons
of
great
Loops
the
community
Forest.
You
know
both
the
marsh
and
the
community.
I
I
We've
recently
completed
the
Ridge
Trail
connection
between
the
main
Community
Forest
track
and
the
sunny
Bray
Forest
this
past
year.
Our
crews
have
completed
the
peanut
butter
Trail,
which
is
kind
of
this
one
and
two-thirds
of
the
jump
Trail,
and
these
were
two
mountain
bike,
specific
trails
with
which
we've
been
developing
with
Redwood
Coast
mountain
bike,
Association
through
an
mou
and
great
sustainable
trail
design
from
our
staff.
I
We
also
have
a
number
of
connector
trails
that
really
help
provide
that
non-motorized
connectivity
between
our
neighborhoods
and
that
are
really
heavily
utilized
for
a
number
of
you
know,
commuting
and
and
Recreation
needs.
So
this
one
connects
to
the
sunset
neighborhood
up
at
North
from
Alliance.
You
know,
you'll
see
just
down
the
road
another
one
off,
Stewart
Court
connects
up
to
Nina
and
then
we'll
zoom
over
to
Cahill
Park,
which
connects
through
Cahill
Park
up
to
Arcata
Elementary.
I
Great,
so
we
have
all
these
Trails,
but
how
do
people
know
where
they're
located
or
how
to
utilize
them?
Really
in
this
last
year,
following
Community
feedback,
Environmental
Services
has
increased
our
signage
and
information
available
for
people
to
learn
more
about
where
to
go,
how
to
navigate
on
each
of
our
trails
and
also
to
get
more
specific
information
for
user-specific
Trails,
like
the
kiosk
here,
is
at
the
start,
and
the
The
Junction
top
point
of
our
mountain
bike:
specific
Trails,
the
jump,
Trail
and
peanut
butter
Trail
and
provide
more
information
to
that
User
Group.
I
You
will
see
down
in
this
green
little
box
on
the
kiosk
as
a
QR
code
and
you'll
see
these
throughout
the
marsh
on
all
of
our
Park
signs
at
our
30
parks
and
throughout
the
community
Forest.
On
my
on
the
trail
markers
and
so
this.
This
is
one
way
that
we're
really
getting
the
where
people
can
utilize
that
QR
code
code
and
pull
up
avenza
ready,
trail
maps,
and
so
when
you're
on
your
phone.
Even
if
you
don't
have
cell
phone
service,
you
can
see
where
you
are
in
the
forest
and
therefore
navigate
your
way.
I
Downhill
to
an
exit
we
have
utilized
press
releases,
don't
have
a
couple
videos
up
on
the
city's
YouTube
page
about
how
to
utilize
our
trail
system
and
share
our
trail
system
with
multi,
multiple
users,
we've
implemented
more
sign.
You
know
physical
signage
in
the
forest
as
well.
That
was
in
particular,
where
we've
gotten
more
feedback
about
a
year
ago.
I
I
The
last
thing
with
signage
just
wanted
to
give
a
glimpse
to
is
that
we're
currently
working
with
other
local
jurisdictions,
with
the
Humboldt
County
Association
of
governments
on
some
new
consistent
share
the
trail
signage
that
will
would
eventually
be
across
our
regional
trail
system.
So
across
the
Humboldt
Bay
Trail
Eureka
Waterfront
Trail
within
Fortuna
Rio
Dell
for
their
new
trail
that
they're
developing
along
the
eel
on
the
Hammond
trail.
That
really
emphasizes
the
multiple
users
that
use
use
the
trail
and
the
need
for
trail
etiquette.
I
I
You
know
we
know
that,
like
many
public
entities,
there
can
be
challenges
of
keeping
up
and
meeting
expectations
for
a
level
of
maintenance
on
in
any
of
our
facilities,
so
funding
for
trail
maintenance
and
our
city
staff
really
comes
from
multiple
City
funds
and
dovetails
with
stewardship
of
our
community.
Forest
stewardship
of
our
Marsh
and
treatment
plant
dovetails
with
solid
waste
management
and
kind
of
some.
You
know
storm
water
management
and
more
of
our
our
open
space
lands.
I
So
we
have
multiple
City
funds
that
support
City
staff,
but
really
of
thinking
of
numbers
on
the
ground.
We
have
two
full-time
natural
resource
staff
that
maintain
the
25-acre
2500
acre
Community
forest
and
the
marsh.
We
have
four
full-time
Parks
staff,
plus
part-time
staff
and
one
parks
facilities,
natural
resource
supervisor.
So
a
lot
of
this
gets
done
with
less
than
a
dozen
people,
and
not
just
maintaining
Trails,
but
our
30
parks
and
our
many
many
hundreds
of
Acres
one
key
thing
I
want
to
that.
I
You
know,
along
Foster
and
through
Shea
Park,
are
some
examples
of
Highly
used.
You
know
commuting
sections
on
the
Humboldt
Bay
Trail
connectivity
to
adjacent
streets,
so
that
you
know
okay,
if
I
have
to
get
off
the
trail,
where
do
I
go
next
and
really
having
helpful
signage
and
ensuring
access
for
emergency
vehicles.
I
I
So
we
would
not
be
able
to
maintain
the
number
of
miles
of
trails
that
we
do
without
Key
Community
Partnerships,
so
one
being
with
the
Humboldt
Trails
Council,
the
Volunteer
Trail
stewards
and
they
have
been
maintaining
Trails
throughout
Humboldt
County
with
local
jurisdictions.
For
over
a
dozen
years
they
have
11
at
least
11
work
days
a
year
between
the
marsh
city
parks
such
as
Shea
and
the
community
Forest.
So
here's
some
photos
of
our
last
worked
at
not
lap,
but
the
last
work
day
before
the
latest.
I
The
final
segment
of
the
Ridge
Trail
was
opened,
so
they
work
on
vegetation
maintenance,
improving
Trail,
tread
rocking
and
graveling
trails,
and
it
has
been
a
fantastic
collaboration
and
with
hundreds
of
and
thousands
of
volunteer
hours,
two
other
super
important
Partnerships
have
been
with
the
Redwood
Coast
mountain
bike
Association.
They
have
really
helped
conceptualize
and
implement
the
peanut
butter,
Trail,
assisted
with
the
jump
Trail
again
mountain
bike
trails
on
the
in
the
community,
Forest
they've
also
recently
provided
pro
bono
engineering
design
for
the
pump
track
for
the
Redwood
Park
Improvement
project.
I
Also
Friends
of
the
Arcata
Marsh
we've
had
a
long-standing
relationship
and
foam
volunteers
staff,
the
Arcata
Marsh
interpretive
Center.
They
have
roving
naturalists,
put
on
many
events,
lead
organized
walks
and
really
help
to
educate
users
of
the
marsh,
not
only
about
stewardship
of
our
natural
resources,
but
the
integration
with
our
wastewater
treatment
plant.
I
I
Is
there
a
way
that
I
can
you
know
more
formally
assist
the
city,
so
these
are
volunteers
and
put
in
an
application
for
what
they
would
like
to
do,
what
materials
they
may
need
from
the
city
and
our
Parks
staff
support
those
efforts
with
whether
that's
gloves
and
trash
bags,
trash
picker
and
then
also
the
disposing
of
solid
waste.
Also
so
graffiti
abatement
and
providing
paint
and
other
materials
has
been
another
volunteer.
I
Much
appreciated,
volunteer
effort
through
this
as
well
and
I'm,
just
focusing
on
Trails
today,
but
also
as
we
have
many
in
the
room,
our
Scouts
have
been
wonderful.
Stewards
of
our
open
space
lands,
whether
that
is
on
our
South
Jacoby
project
or
more
recently
in
the
sunnybrae
park.
So,
with
all
of
that,
volunteer,
work
on
the
ground
is
indispensable
to
to
our
city
and
to
our
community,
so
planning
for
future
funding
and
Partnerships
for
maintenance
is
really
essential
when
we're
expanding
the
city's
trail
system.
I
You
know,
as
we
know,
anytime,
we
add
a
new
city
facility,
whether
a
new
segment
of
Trail
or
a
new
line
of
Street
trees.
That
is
additional
maintenance
to
take
on
we.
The
city
has
been
successful
at
receiving
many
grants
for
planning,
design
and
construction,
but
that
really
does
not
come
with
maintenance
funding,
but
also
providing
these
quality
of
life.
I
Resources
are
a
key
thing
that
then,
hopefully
also
contributes
to
Economic
Development
and
increased
revenues
to
the
city,
so
always
thinking
of
how
we're
expanding
and
its
potential
positive
impact
on
the
city,
I
think
for
so
just
for
touching
on
our
priority
Trail
projects.
For
this
year,
the
final
segment
of
the
Ridge
Trail
was
completed.
November
1st,
we
had
a
great
ribbon
cutting
and
we
will
still
have
ongoing
maintenance
on
that
section.
I
As
with
all
of
our
sections
of
Trail
in
the
forest,
particularly
during
the
winter
and
then
our
Arcata
Andy
and
Mary
Chill
project
last
week,
was
allocated
funding
for
the
next
phase
of
design
and
right-of-way,
so
we'll
be
keeping
those
moving
forward
for
just
touching
on.
You
know,
funding
in
the
long
term
for
maintenance.
I
You
know,
with
the
passage
of
measure
a
the
open
space,
Parks
Trails
special
tax
in
November
of
2020
that
really
provides
had
so
much
community
support
and
really
provides
opportunities
for
stewardship
acquisition,
really
taking
being
able
to
take
advantage
of
funding
opportunities
with
cost
share,
but
also
having
a
fund
that
for
if
we
really
need
some
further
repairs
that
we
can
fall
back
on
as
potential
stewardship
funding.
Another
fund
that
was
developed
across
the
region
was
the
Humboldt
Bay
Trail
fund.
I
Sorry,
it's
as
simple
as
it
sounds
apparently,
and
that
is
hosted
through
the
Humboldt
area
foundation
and
has
is
Guided
by
a
committee
of
local
jurisdictions
and
at
large
community
members
and
the
purpose
for
that
was
really
of
the
same
concern.
If
we
can
get
grants
to
build
the
Bay
Trail,
but
do
we
have
enough
ongoing
funding
for
maintenance,
especially
when
larger
repairs
may
need
to
happen,
and
so
that
is
a
funding
source
that
has
grown
to
I,
think
nearly
500
000
or
was
before
more
around
around
there.
I
A
Q
B
Q
Off
a
couple
things
first,
I
personally
went
to
commend
foam
and
the
community
volunteers
for
the
incredible
work
that
they're
doing
at
the
Arcata
Marsh
I
was
out
walking
my
dog
the
other
day.
It
was
going
to
be
one
of
my
extra
long
walks
have
lunch
hang
out
and
in
particular,
George
was
out
there
working
for
hours,
cleaning
up
and
with
a
smile
on
his
face.
So
I
just
really
want
to
applaud
all
of
the
workers
and
in
particular
George
out
there
and
then
I
had
and
I
don't
know.
Q
West
I
know
that,
like
I
said
it's
in
the
policy
implications,
but
I'm
wondering
if
we
might
want
to
include
it
also
in
or
instead
in
the
introduction
portion
of
the
document
and
also
I
am
just
beyond
over
the
top
excited
about
the
new
Grant,
which
is
going
to
be
going
in
there
and
doing
Trail
restoration
at
those
trails
to
the
river
access
and
develop
the
new
signage.
That's
coming
up,
which
is
going
to
be
multilingual,
including
the
weak
track,
and
that's
all
I
have.
G
I
So
this
is
the
connector
Trail
between
Alliance
and
North,
that
heads
up
towards
Western
and
last
fall.
Several
council
members
and
myself
met
with
neighbors
there.
One
of
the
neighbors
has
is
now
an
A
volunteer,
supporting
his
immediate
neighborhood
with
graffiti
abatement
and
trash
pickup.
So
again,
that's
in
collaboration
with
our
Parks
Division
and
we,
since
that
time
have
received
less
calls,
but
it
is
an
area
where
we,
since
again
that
fall.
We
worked
on
maintenance
for
the
stairs
along
that
route
and
some
more
sight,
distance,
vegetation
management
so
I.
G
T
I
just
wanted
to
I
mean
director
cincorn
did
a
great
job
of
acknowledging
all
of
the
Community
Partners,
but
I
wanted
to
focus
on
that
a
little
bit
more,
just
to
really
bring
the
point
home
that
that
that's
a
big
part
of
why
our
trail
system
is
so
great
and
a
lot
of
times
when
people
come
to
us
with
ideas.
The
response
that
they
get
is
you
know
that's
a
great
idea,
but
the
city
can't
do
that
alone.
We
need
some
Community
Partners.
T
T
One
was
I
think
the
the
trail
that
council
member
Stillman
asked
about
that
was
one
of
my
questions
too.
I
think
when
we
originally
talked
about
it,
it
wasn't
it's
not
city
property
and
I
guess
that
was
my
question.
If,
if
that
is
city
property,
and
if
it's
not,
what
is
our
policy
for
maintaining
trails
that
are
being
used
regularly,
but
they're,
not
our
property?
So
that
was
my
first
question.
I
Great
so
that
area
between
Alliance
and
North
is
City
right-of-way,
and
it
is
city
right
of
way
from
when
that
subdivision
was
created
years
back,
I
I.
Think
in
in
talking
with
folks
with
longer
institutional
knowledge.
It
sounds
like
it
was.
You
know
it
was
a
right-of-way
that
was
never
developed
as
a
roadway,
but
was
a
quicker
connection
and
so
over
time
foot
travel
creates
a
little
foot
Trail
and
then
at
some
point
the
city
did
augment
that
with
more
sustainable
Trail
features
and
more,
you
know
safe
trail
design.
T
I
I
Just
with
the
type
of
surface
some
places
I
could
see
how
it
could
be
named.
Peanut
Butter
I
don't
have
that
history,
but
part
of
the
again
once
the
city
acquired
that
property,
the
priority
was
to
ensure
the
safety
of
that
trail
is
number
one
number,
two
being
it
being
sustainably
built,
so
that
there
wasn't
as
much
erosion
and
so
that
we
could
maintain
it
more
feasibly
in
the
long
term.
L
Yeah
I'll
just
add:
for
a
long
time
there
was
a
portion
what
was
called
the
Forsyth
trust
property
that
really
looked
like
you
felt
like
you
were
in
the
Arcata
Community
Forest,
but
it
was
private
property.
So
both
parts
of
the
jump
Trail
and
the
peanut
butter
Trail
were
on
that
private
property.
They
were
named
by
folks
that
just
built
Trails,
you
know
the
property
owners
allowed
that
on
their
property,
they
allowed
disc
golf
on
their
property,
but
it
in
fact
wasn't
public
property.
G
So
if
I
could
just
I'll
follow
up
with
one
thing
that
when
the
last
phone
meeting
I
attended,
the
naturalists
are
all
going
to
start
carrying
buckets,
just
like
the
ambassadors
and
a
pickup.
Stick
because
they're
finding
a
lot
of
needles,
and
so
they
want
to
pick
up
that
kind
of
trash.
And
they
want
to
get
it
out
of
the
way.
So
they
made
a
decision
that
the
naturalists
will
have
their
own
buckets
and
their
own
Pickers.
A
Well,
I
had
a
couple
comments
and
a
couple
questions.
First
of
all,
big
shout
out
for
the
avenza
app.
It
is
absolutely
amazing.
If
you
have
not
used
it
like
you,
can
even
not
have
cell
phone
service.
That
knows
exactly
where
you
are.
It
works
offline
I
made
I'm
a
I'm,
a
teacher,
so
I
get
Summers
off.
I
made
the
point
last
summer
to
go
out
with
my
dog
on
a
new
trail
that
I've
never
been
on
every
time.
A
I
would
take
him
out
walking
and
there
was
a
couple
times
where
I
maybe
got
lost
in
the
woods
a
little
bit,
but
having
that
just
like
right
there
to
pull
it
up,
it's
an
amazing
tool,
So
for
anybody.
Listening
that
hasn't
tried
it.
You
should
download
it
it's
free,
it's
wonderful
and
I'm
glad
that
we,
you
know,
run
that
it's
a
great
app
a
couple
questions,
or
maybe
just
things
that
I've
heard
from
people
have
we
had
to
address
or
develop.
A
Maybe
any
policy
on
e-bikes
and
how
that
you
know
a
on
the
the
Bay
Trail
a
lot
of
people
on
that
paved
area.
I
mean
just
take
it
so
fast,
but
also
I've
heard
a
lot
of
concerns
from
people
just
up
in
the
community
Forest,
especially
people
hiking,
and
not
expecting
all
of
a
sudden.
This
whizzing
bike,
even
uphill,
you
know
going
right
by
them
and
so
I
mean
have
we
developed
any
policy
on
that
or
how
do
we
enforce?
You
know
speed
limits
on
these
trails.
I
The
key
thing
being
speed
and
that
bikes
that
don't
have
power
can
be
going
just
as
fast
as
e-bikes,
four
e-bikes
on
our
on
our
city
trails
and
also
just
of
mirroring
what
is
in
kind
of
state
code
and
that
state
law
is
Shifting
and
and
changing.
But
there's
three
different
classes
of
e-bikes
and
class.
I
One
bikes
go
up
to
20
miles
per
hour
class
two
similar,
but
they
have
a
throttle
where
you
don't
have
to
pedal
and
then
class
three
can
go
up
to
something
like
29
or
and
and
so
for
what
we're
really
in
conversations
with
Trail
managers
across
local
jurisdictions.
We're
really
seeing
that
e-bikes
are
how
many
more
people
are
getting
around.
It
is
especially
on
our
paved
Humboldt,
Bay
Trail
and
commuter
Trails.
It's
an
effective
commuting
tool.
I
So
we're
we're
really
thinking
of
that
education,
around
speeds
and
respect
when
passing
and
how
to
do
so
respectfully
and
safely
and
less
on
regulating
classes
of
e-bikes.
You
know
currently
class
one
and
class
two,
but
when
I
say
currently
that
was
at
least
like
two
months
ago
at
the
state
level
that
you
could
be
on
a
Class
1
Trail,
which
is
what
the
Humboldt
Bay
Trail
is
and
be
on
a
Class
one
or
two
e-bike
I.
I
Think
that
and
I
I
did
not
look
that
up
before
the
meeting,
but
I
think
there
will
be
or
already
is
some
state
law
shifting
where
local
jurisdictions,
unless
they
ban
it
can
but
like
class,
three
bikes
can
be
on
those
Transportation
oriented
Trails
too
in
the
community
Forest.
We
have
in
our
draft,
updated
Forest
management
plan
that
we
hope
to
bring
to
your
Council.
Before
the
end
of
this
calendar
year,
the
recommendation
of
class
one
and
two
e-bikes
being
acceptable
in
the
community
Forest.
I
They
often
look
just
like
other
bikes,
and
so
that
is
we're
really
with
all
of
our
signage,
the
PSAs,
the
videos,
the
education,
we're
really
trying
to
provide
that
education
for
all
users.
Speed
limits
was
another
question
you
had
and
in
that
hcog
group
we
also
had
discussed
having
speed
limits.
Some
jurisdictions
do
Marin
County
has
has
adopted
an
ordinance
around
speed
limits.
I
That
is
another
tool
we
could
utilize,
but
from
you
know,
reading
other
case
studies
and
talking
with
other
jurisdictions
and
just
our
capacity
for
enforcement
of
speeds
and
being
and
having
someone
out
there
to
clock
the
bike
going
16
versus
15
miles
per
hour.
We're
really
focusing
the
efforts
on
the
education.
I
A
Thanks
I
have
one
more
just
general
comment
of
something
that
I've
heard
from
people
a
request.
Perhaps
that
has
to
do
with
Trails,
just
multiple
couple
residents
and
then
also
business
owners
in
the
creamery
building
have
requested
doggy
pots
on
that
section
of
the
Bay
Trail,
because
that's
pretty
residential
a
lot
of
people
use
it
to
walk
their
dogs.
A
You
know
coming
from
their
houses
in
that
area,
but
also
a
lot
of
people
hang
out
in
that
grassy
area
and
a
lot
of
traffic
from
the
pub
and
back
and
forth,
and
a
lot
of
people
who
I
hope
want
to
clean
up
after
their
dogs
are
not
able
to
just
because
there
is
a
lack
of
bags
and
trash
receptacles.
There
I
know
I
have
unfortunately
been
in
that
same
situation
and
had
to
you
know,
go
home
and
find
a
bag
and
come
back
and
so
yeah.
G
I
just
wanted
to
bring
up
because
I
noticed
there
weren't
any
scooters,
but
that's
something
that
is
going
to
become
I,
think
more
prevalent
here,
where
people
are
riding
those
electric
scooters
and
we
have
some
around
now
and
there's
companies
that
actually
manage
them
or
pick
them
up
when
they're
left
in
different
parts
of
town
and
I'm
thinking.
That
might
be
something
that
you
want
to
discuss
because
they'll
end
up
on
the
trail
systems
too.
I
I
They
can
be
jurisdictions
can
provide
more
of
geo-fencing
for
where
jurisdictions
don't
want.
Scooters
parked
I'm
picturing
like
right
along
the
business
districts
of
the
plaza
of
North
Arcata,
and
that
is
something
that
the
you
know.
If
the
council
is
interested,
we
could
you
know
the
city
could
really
entertain
so
far,
our
from
Environmental
Services.
We
have
at
the
time
I've
been
recommending
continuing
with
Bike
Share
for
its
reliability
and
and
safety
record
and
expanding
our
stations.
G
Well,
thank
you
because
I
know
it's
I'm
sure
it's
going
to
be
coming
to
us
that
we'll
have
the
the
bird
bikes
or
the
company
that
does
that
and
and
I've
noticed
a
couple
of
just
line.
I,
don't
know
where
they
came
from,
but
they
just
dropped
them.
And
it's
very
very
true.
When
I
was
in
Barcelona
the
same
thing,
you
know
there's
two
people
riding
them
they're
riding
right
along
with
traffic
they're,
either
single
you
don't
hear
them
and
they're
just
dropped
all
around,
and
then
you
see
a
vehicle
going
and
picking
them
up.
A
All
right
well,
thank
you
for
the
good
questions.
Do
staff
have
anything
else
they
want
to
add
before
we
take
it
out
to
public
comment?
Okay.
Well,
we
will
now
take
public
comment
on
this
item.
So
if
there's
anybody
here
in
person,
we
will
do
in
person
first.
This
is
the
time
for
in-person
comments
head
up
to
the
podium
and
line
up
and
then
we'll
move
to
online,
and
if
you
are
online,
you
can
get
ready
and
raise
that
digital
hand.
P
P
So
one
of
the
things
that
I'm
going
to
do
the
power
of
three
again
when
we're
talking
about
the
great
apps
that
people
have
I
want
people
to
all
to
remember
that
some
of
us
choose
or
don't
have
the
ability
to
have
an
app
and
so
I'm
hoping
that
there
will
be
some
opportunity
for
maybe
enlisting
people
in
up
at
the
University
to
create
paper
maps.
It's
never
a
bad
thing
to
learn
how
to
read
a
paper
map.
P
P
For
people
like
me
that
either
can't
or
won't
don't
want
to
drive
a
car
individually
to
a
site.
They
said
that
that
it
was
beyond
their
ability
to
do
and
that
I
could
just
go
down
to
my
neighborhood
Trails
on
the
marsh.
Well,
that's
fine.
I
will
work
on
the
marsh
Trails
too,
but
I
wanted
to
go
to
the
community
Forest
so
enabling
some
of
us
who
don't
want
to
drive
a
car
or
can't
drive
a
car
to
a
Trailhead
the
opportunity
to
do
the
trail
work.
It
would
be
something
really
well
nice
to
have.
P
Thirdly,
mayor
Schaefer
after
you've
read
our
local
newspapers,
whether
it's
the
North
Coast
journal
or
the
Mad
River
Union
or
the
time
standard.
When
I
was
working
on
the
Presidio,
the
dog
walking
companies
who
would
walk
the
dogs
on
the
Presidio
found
that
newspaper
is
actually
as
good
as
a
bag,
so
you
can
use
your
newspaper
after
you
read
it
for
other
purposes.
Thank
you.
A
M
You
hey
guys:
I
love,
Trails
I've,
actually
volunteered
over
a
thousand
hours
of
very
serious
hard
Trail
work
in
National
Forest,
so
I
absolutely
love
them.
Our
trail
system
is
phenomenal.
What
I
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
we
expand
our
trails
in
the
community
forest
and
throughout
our
community
that
we're
doing
it
in
an
ethical
manner,
if
it's
included
in
conditions
for
approval
for
another
project,
let
us
think
and
make
sure
that
is
an
apt
condition
for
approval.
Thank
you.
U
V
Hello
to
council
and
to
staff,
and
thanks
to
director
sinkhorn
for
the
update
on
the
trails.
My
conversation
tonight,
of
course,
is
about
the
L
Street
rails,
with
trails
in
relation
to
the
L
Street
Lanier
Park.
Once
again,
I
would
like
to
encourage
the
council
to
move
forward
with
the
designation
of
Al
Street
corridors,
linear
Park
as
the
primary
Corridor
for
the
great
Redwood
Trail.
The
existing
Trail
is
class
one,
as
is
most
of
the
humble
Bay
Trail,
and
will
be
the
Annie
Mary's
Trail.
V
The
degradation
of
a
the
rails
of
trails
at
best
represents
a
class
four
Trail,
a
trail
with
a
fence.
The
creamery
District
can
be
the
centerpiece
to
the
great
Redwood
Trail
through
Arcata,
offering
a
park-like
setting
and
access
to
existing
and
future
services
in
the
form
of
food
and
other
local
businesses.
V
In
addition,
the
great
Redwood
Trail,
the
California
Coastal
Trail,
also
runs
through
the
L
Street
quarter
as
its
primary
route
and
states
of
policy
at
the
California
Coastal
Trail
not
run
directly
at
Jason
two
Road,
for
example,
a
class
4
Trail,
since
the
existing
rails
with
Trails
Corridor
is
already
established.
Acquisition
is
not
necessary.
The
trail
is
eligible
for
rail
banking
through
Rails
to
Trails
and
would
be
seen
as
a
positive
step
for
the
great
Redwood
Trail,
the
California
Coastal
Trail,
and
the
federal
service
Transportation
board.
V
Since
the
typical
outcome
from
rails,
banking
is
Rails
to
Trails
and
not
the
expansion
of
a
road.
The
Braille
banking
offers
an
increased
footprint
which
would
expand
the
possibilities
for
the
L
Street
Lanier
Park,
the
2010
rails,
with
Trails
feasibility
study,
offers
what
is
possible
for
the
L
Street
Lanier
Park
under
Trail
amenities,
starting
at
10-1.
There
are
maps
and
images
to
10-6
which
offer
a
vision
for
the
linear
Park.
V
The
corridor
is
the
main
artery
from
Cal
Poly
down
to
the
marsh,
and
just
wanted
to
also
iterate
reiterate
that
the
linear
Park
is
endorsed
by
the
local
Sierra
Club.
The
petition
is
ongoing.
An
overwhelming
signatures
is
interest,
is
the
abandonment
of
the
two-way
couplet
and
the
enhancement
of
the
Open
Spaces
into
a
linear,
Park
anyway.
I.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
hope.
It's
something
at
some
point
will
be
considered
and
I'd
love
to
talk
to
anybody
about
if
they
wanted
to
have
a
conversation
and
there's
lots
of
information
available
at
Arcata
linearpark.org.
A
A
A
Does
anybody
need
a
break
or
we're
just
gonna
power
through
it?
Okay,
let's
do
it
then?
Okay,
we
will
now
move
to
Item
B
under
new
business,
which
is
to
consider
adopting
resolution
number
223-3-4,
implementing
an
emergency
home
buyer
assistance
program
for
Community
Land
Trust
acquisition
and
authorizing
a
budget
appropriation
to
the
fund
to
fund
the
program
in
the
amount
of
a
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
dollars.
Can
we
have
a
staff
report
from
community
development
director,
David
Loya.
S
I
will
be
presenting
together,
which
I
think
is
apt,
because
the
Community
Land
Trust
really
has
been
a
partnership
from
the
beginning
with
back
then
Humboldt
Bay,
Housing,
Development,
Corporation,
currently
housing,
Humboldt
and
so
about
the
executive
Derek
director
for
housing
Humboldt
will
be
helping
to
convey
some
information
to
you.
I
do
want
to.
Of
course
you
know,
throw
a
curveball
right
at
the
beginning
of
the
staff
report
by
reporting
to
you
that
we
actually
have
a
different
recommendation
than
what
is
in
the
staff
report.
S
New
recommendation
we'll
get
some
guidance
from
you
tonight
as
to
you
know
how
to
how
to
structure
that
next
recommendation,
but
things
things
radically
changed
since
last
Wednesday,
when
the
staff
report
was
submitted
so
just
want
to
hit
real
high
level
just
to
give
a
context
for
for
the
decision
that
you'll
be
making
tonight.
It's
a
really
important
one
I
know
that
a
lot
of
people
have
been
really
interested
in
the
land
trust
model.
S
As
it
says,
in
the
policy
section,
the
community
land
trust
is
a
way,
for
you
know
reducing
the
cost
of
home
ownership.
It
really
provides
an
opportunity
for
folks
who
aren't
yet
ready,
for
you
know
open
market-
or
you
know,
even
a
you
know,
purchase
through
the
city's
standard
homebuyer
program
to
be
able
to
get
into
housing
that
they
can
make
payments
on
and
start
to
build
equity.
S
The
city
of
Arcata
initiated
the
and
I'm
going
to
save
much
of
the
land
trust
history
to
to
Beth.
But
the
city
of
arcade
initiated
the
land
trust
in
partnership
with
hvhdc
back
in
the
early
OTS
I
think
and
the
the
program
was
developed
around
the
city's
Redevelopment
agency,
primarily
Redevelopment
agency.
At
that
time,
had
a
share
of
the
the
city's
tax
base
that
it
could
use
to
put
towards
housing.
S
There
was
a
requirement
that
we
used
at
least
20
percent
of
our
revenues
from
the
Redevelopment
Agency
on
affordable
housing,
and
so
we
created
a
lot
of
really
unique
projects
and
a
lot
of
really
new,
unique
programs
that
that
were
really
contingent
on
that
that
ongoing
funding
source.
In
addition,
during
those
early
years,
we
developed
the
program
around
guidance
that
we
were
getting
from
our
home
program.
The
home
partnership,
federal
state
grant
program,
and
so
the
home
funding
was
really
important.
S
At
this
point,
those
resources
have
really
Fallen
away,
one
after
the
other
and
as
we'll
describing
a
little
more
detail
the
challenges
with
the
home
program
and
why
we're
going
to
ask
for
for
you
to
hit
the
pause
button
coming
up
so
with
that
before
I
get
too
into
the
detail
about
the
the
history,
I
want
to
turn
it
over
to
Beth
and
have
her
describe
to
you
their
involvement
and
really
what
how
the
program
is
structured
and
why
we've
been
using
it.
Why
it's
been
so
successful
thanks,
Beth,
good.
W
You
first
time
City
stop
person
honoree.
Okay,
again,
my
name
is
Beth
Matsumoto,
it's
nice
to
be
here,
I'm.
Actually,
the
director
of
multi-family
development
for
Rural
communities,
housing
and,
formerly
the
executive
director
of
housing
Humboldt
in
2019
housing
Humboldt
became
an
unaffiliated
entity
of
rural
communities
housing
so
that
we
can
sustain
our
mission
to
develop
and
manage
housing
for
low-income
households
in
Arcata
and
throughout
world
northern
northern
California.
W
So
I
want
to
thank
you
and
I
want
to
thank
David
and
City
staff
for
navigating
the
complexities
of
the
community,
land,
trust
and
ways
to
finance
such
a
program.
The
Humboldt
Community
Land
Trust
will
be
20
years
old
this
month,
which
is
just
shocking
to
me,
but
it
really
is
very
much
a
result
of
the
collaboration
between
housing,
Humboldt
and
the
city
and
previous
city
council
support,
so
I'm
here
to
provide
a
brief,
a
brief
history
of
the
community
land
trust
and
how
it
works.
W
So,
in
February
of
2003,
a
working
group
convened
to
analyze
the
land
trust
model
and
how
such
a
model
might
address.
The
community's
need
to
not
only
assist
low-income
households
wanting
to
purchase
a
home
in
Arcata,
but
also
to
preserve
the
affordability
of
the
home
from
one
owner
to
the
next.
The
working
group's
feedback
and
participation
helped
inform
a
strategic
plan
and
in
partnership
with
the
city
and
the
home
program,
housing
Humboldt
Acquired
and
developed
its
first
eight
Community
Land
Trust
homes
in
the
Windsong
subdivision
in
2005..
W
At
that
time,
the
city
of
arcata's,
first
time
home
buyer
program,
wasn't
keeping
up
with
the
rising
home
values.
The
Community
Land
Trust,
however,
offered
a
solution
that
locked
the
public
subsidy
in
the
land
and
to
preserve
the
affordability
of
the
homes
for
households
who
were
really
priced
out
of
the
real
estate
market.
So
under
the
CLT
model,
the
non-profit
acquires
and
holds
the
land
in
trusts
for
the
community
to
provide
needed
resources
such
as
affordable
housing.
Buildings
on
the
land
are
sold
to
eligible
households
with
a
leasehold
interest
in
the
land.
W
That's
conveyed
through
a
ground
lease
the
ground
lease
specifies
various
rights
and
responsibilities,
including
a
resale
restriction
which
is
meant
to
give
the
owner
a
reasonable
return
on
the
original
investment.
But
is
also
there
to
keep
the
Home
Affordable
to
another,
low-income
household,
in
other
words,
CLT
homeowners
have
an
opportunity
to
earn
a
limited
amount
of
Market
Equity
as
specified
in
a
formula
you
used
to
calculate
the
resale
price.
Today,
the
CLT
has
a
total
of
22
homes
in
the
city
of
Arcata.
W
Our
last
10
homes
were
developed
in
the
James
Creek
Meadow
subdivision,
just
before
the
capital
seemed
to
dry
up
overnight.
If
the
construction
project
went
any
further
into
the
2008
financial
crisis,
things
would
have
been
very
different
for
housing,
comma
and
the
land
trust,
but
in
partnership
with
the
city
of
Arcata,
the
homes
are
finished
and
10
low-income
households
purchased
their
very
first
home
in
a
neighborhood
where
home
values
were
more
than
twice
then
twice
as
much
as
the
CLC
home.
W
W
We
need
to
Pivot
and
reanalyze
how
to
move
forward
David's,
going
to
speak
a
little
bit
more
about
some
of
the
proposed
options,
but
before
he
does
I
think
it's
important
to
point
out
that
the
Community
Land
Trust
model
is
a
unique
tool
for
communities
to
to
retain
local
control
of
land
and
resources
such
as
affordable
housing,
the
model
Works
throughout
California
and
the
nation
to
resist
gentrification
and
promote
economic
equality.
It
makes
sense
that
the
city
of
Arcata
is
one
of
the
first
California
communities
to
create
a
Community
Land
Trust
20
years
ago.
W
S
S
So
we
have
kind
of
a
long
history
working
with
the
home
program
to
work
through
the
challenges.
With
these
resale
restrictions
there
was
in
around
2015.
There
was
a
change
at
the
home
program.
That
was
largely
administrative
that
started
pointing
towards
some
some
concerns
around
the
resale
restrictions
and
concerns
around
the
home
program's
ability
to
continue
to
administer
CLT
model.
At
that
time,
we
at
we
meeting
the
city
of
Arcata
and
housing.
S
Would
the
the
CLT
model
most
of
the
homeowners
cannot
afford,
even
though
the
borrowing
that
they're
doing
is
less
than
it
would
be
on
the
open
market,
because
they're
only
purchasing
the
improvements
and
those
improvements
or
reseller
restricted.
Most
borrowers
do
not
have
the
ability
to
get
a
full
20
down
payment
and
then
balance
it
alone
through
the
private
market.
So
they
rely
on
the
city's
Gap
financing
through
its
home
ownership
program
to
to
fill
in
that
Gap
to
get
that
extra
money
that
they
need
to
to
get
into
the
home.
S
S
We
did
the
same
work
that
we
did
in
2015
and
2017,
and
we're
successful
at
having
them
agree
to
allow
us
to
continue
to
use
home
funds
for
at
least
the
22
that
we
had
in
the
program
to
date-
and
you
know
we
are
I-
was
commenting
to
to
Beth,
as
we've
been
scrambling
over
the
last
week
to
try
and
find
solutions
that
that
could
you
know,
get
us
through
this.
This
challenge
that
we're
we're
basically
we're
dealing
with
the
exact
same
issue
all
over
again.
S
S
But
the
original
reason
why
we
brought
this
program
forward
is
because
the
home
program
actually
has
all
of
its
home
ownership
programs
on
pause
throughout
the
entire
State
HUD
is
reviewing
their
program
and
trying
to
ensure
that
the
way
that
they've
been
implementing
it
is
compliant
with
HUD
regulations,
and
so
for
the
past
eight
or
so
months.
We
haven't
been
able
to
use
our
home
program
at
all.
So
the
idea.
S
Last
week
when
I
wrote
the
staff
report,
when
we
wrote
the
staff
report
I
enlisted
Beth's
help
to
polish
it
we
were
thinking
well.
All
we
need
is
a
program
to
get
us
over
the
hump,
while
home
works
out
their
issues
and
then
we'll
be
back
in
the
situation
we
were
in
after
we
successfully
won
the
argument
in
2017
that
we
can
use
these
home
funds
to
finance
individual
home
sales
of
clts
that
are
already
in
the
program.
S
S
S
The
first
option
is
basically
to
leave
the
Community
Land
Trust
as
it
is
as
it's
currently
written.
We've
got.
You
know
underlying
regulatory
agreements.
We
have
you
know,
agreements
with
loan
agreements
with
with
housing,
Humboldt
we've,
you
know,
there's
a
whole
legal
framework.
It's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
work
to
unwind
or
change
the
program
if
we
did
unwind
or
change
the
program.
I
want
to
note
that
we
would
do
it
one
home
at
a
time
as
those
homes
come
up
for
sale.
S
So
this
wouldn't
be
a
big,
dramatic
change
for
those
individual
buyers.
Everyone
who's
in
their
home
right
now
would
be
able
to
remain
in
their
home.
It
would
not
affect
them
in
any
way,
shape
or
form
until
they
sold
their
home
and
then,
when
they
sell
their
home,
those
sellers
will
not
be
affected.
It'll
just
be
the
program
that
shifts
if
we
change
it.
S
S
The
second
option
is
to
keep
the
CLT
model,
we'll
continue
to
run
it
as
a
land
trust,
but
dramatically
change
the
way
that
it
functions,
and
so
some
of
the
critical
components
that
home
has
a
problem
with
the
resale
restrictions.
For
example.
Maybe
we
just
modify
those
out,
so
we
change
the
program,
remove
the
components
that
home
has
an
issue
with
maybe
also
continue
to
pursue
other
alternative
financing,
because
home
is
still
a
little
bit.
You
know
sporadic.
S
We
don't
necessarily
always
know
that
we'll
have
that,
so
we
develop
a
more
robust
portfolio
for
how
we
Finance
these
projects,
and
so
that
would
result
in
retaining
the
the
concept,
the
underlying
principles
of
of
the
CLT,
but
just
pursuing
other
ways
of
operating
it.
Given
the
change
conditions,
we
find
ourselves
in
the
next
two
options
really
are
a
complete
shift
in
how
we
use
the
program
or
the
houses
that
have
been
acquired
through
this
CLT
model.
S
Both
of
those
options
that
I've
described
to
you
before
require
that
we
come
up
with
for
most
borrowers,
this
Gap
financing.
So
we
have
to
have
an
ongoing
program
that
allows
us
bar
those
new
borrowers,
the
new
home
buyers
to
use
our
program
funds,
or
maybe
HP
housing,
Humboldt's
program
funds
to
fill
in
that
Gap
financing,
because
we
don't
have
a
hundred
units
like
we
would
have
liked
to
have
had
where
you
would
have
a
lot
of
activity
within
that
program.
You
really
don't
have
a
whole
lot
of
activity.
S
We
receive
program
income
back
when
those
homes
sell.
We
get
the
the
loan
money
back
for
the
Gap
financing
and
then
we
can
turn
around
and
lend
that
to
another
borrower.
But
if
we
don't
have
the
activity
level
so
that
those
are
happening
regular
enough,
so
that
we
have
funds
in
our
bank
accounts,
then
the
program
isn't
as
stable,
and
this
has
happened
several
times
over
the
past
five
years.
In
fact,
Beth
and
I
were
just
reminiscing
about
the
past
five
years,
trying
to
solve
this
exact
same
problem
in
different
variations.
S
We've
had
this
come
up
a
number
of
times,
and
so
you
know
recognizing
that
the
program,
even
if
we
start
to
develop
additional
funding
sources
to
finance
these
projects,
still
doesn't
have
the
volume
to
maintain
a
real,
consistent
program,
and
we
may
find
ourselves
in
this
situation
in
the
future.
When
we
don't
happen
to
have
a
Calhoun,
Grant
or
you
know,
haven't
you
know,
don't
have
access
to
home
funds,
so
the
third
alternative
is
really
dramatically
Shifting
the
model
right
now,
it's
a
home
ownership
model.
S
Those
same
units
are,
can
be
used
for
affordable
housing
in
a
rental
model
and
so
completely
unwind
land
trust
and
focus.
Instead
on
single-family
rentals,
the
majority
of
housing,
Humboldt's
rental
rental
units
are
in
apartments.
This
gives
people
another
alternative.
It
still
provides
affordable
housing
and
we
Beth
and
I
have
even
explored
you
know.
Is
there
a
way
to
develop
an
equity
share?
You
know
with
that.
So
it
still
retains
some
of
the
the
benefits
of
being
in
a
program
where
you,
where
you
develop
some
Equity.
S
All
of
this
is
very
speculative
at
this
point.
I
don't
want
anybody
to
latch
on
to.
You
know
those
ideas
because
we're
not
sure
exactly
how
we
would
Implement
those
that's
why
we
need
the
next
couple
of
months
to
really
brainstorm.
Beth
and
I
will
do
some.
You
know
some
Financial
work
and
and
try-
and
you
know,
do
some
soul
searching
and
figure
out.
You
know
what
what's
the
best
recommendation
for
the
council
and
then
the
last
option.
S
The
fourth
option
is
really
just
a
completely
unwind
the
the
CLT
and
allows
these
homes
come
up
on
the
market.
Just
allow
them
to
go
out
to
Market
to
the
you
know,
you
know,
sell
them
out
to
the
the
you
know:
eliminate
the
land,
trust
underlying
and
sell
the
property
and
the
and
the
homes
together.
Then,
housing
Humboldt
would
be
able
to
take
the
revenues
that
generate
off
of
that
and
we
could
work
together
to
develop
a
new
project.
S
One
of
the
things
that
we've
been
excited
about
is
potentially
bringing
additional
density
to
the
Arcata
Gardens
Apartments
over
on
Alliance
For
example,
and
so
we
could
shift
gears
and
use
those
Monies
to
create.
You
know
additional
rental
housing
I
know
that's
kind
of
a
hard
pill
to
swallow
and
we've
all
gotten
really
excited
about.
You
know
being
able
to
provide
ownership
opportunities
for
folks,
but
you
know
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
holistic
model.
That's
really
sustainable.
S
A
All
right
that
was
all
the
information.
Thank
you
yeah
yeah.
For
me,
it
was
hard
to
digest
those
options
without
seeing
them,
but
I
think
I
got
most
of
them
down.
Okay,
let's
move
to
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
council.
Maybe
questions
before
we
move
into
discussion,
but
we
should
take
public
comment.
I
believe
before
we
discuss
too
much
so.
S
Yeah,
basically,
the
recommendation
is
to
not
implement
this
program
at
this
time,
not
to
adopt
the
resolution
and
to
give
us
a
few
months
to
to
sort
through
the
you
know,
those
four
options
and
try
and
come
back
with
a
coherent
recommendation
and
then
we'd
also
likely
be
asking
for
you
know
a
meeting
or
two
to
come
back
with
a
bridge
loan
to
housing
Humboldt
right
now
they
have
a
seller
who's.
Looking
for
a
buyer
that
doesn't
have
a
program,
so
they
have
an
eligible
buyer,
but
we
don't
have
a
program.
S
So
the
idea
was
we
spin
up
this
program
make
that
loan
and
then,
when
the
home
program
comes
back
online,
we'd
start
using
home
funds
again
between
the
time
when
we
developed
that
strategy
that
emergency
strategy,
we
realized
that
you
know
the
home
program
is
completely
unavailable,
so
we'd
be
recommending
taking
it,
giving
us
time
to
come
back
with
a
more
formal
recommendation
and
potentially
coming
out
back
with
a
bridge
loan
to
housing
Humboldt.
So
they
can
release
this
seller
and
then
that'll
give
us
time
to
figure
out
what
to
do
next.
Q
X
Q
Also
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
being
here.
Beth
and
I
was
super
excited
that
you
came
I
had
the
honor
as
a
graduate
student
to
do
a
affordable,
Cooperative
housing
for
River
Community
homes
back
when
it
was
Humboldt,
Bay
housing.
So
I
love
what
you
guys
do
that's
a
lot
to
digest
for
me
personally,
so
the
one
foreclosure.
S
So
the
what
we're
proposing
is
that
we
would
come
back
either
at
your
next
meeting
or
the
meeting
afterwards
with
an
agendized
item
that
is
to
make
a
bridge
loan
to
housing.
Humboldt
Housing
humble
has
an
option
under
the
underlying
documents
to
purchase
a
home
if
it's
going
to
be
lost,
and
so
we
would
work
through
the
existing
documents
that
we
have
make
a
bridge
loan
to
housing,
humble
Humboldt
they
would
buy
the
home.
The
seller
would
be
released,
so
the
seller
wouldn't
be
affected.
S
We
would
then
have
a
vacant
home
in
the
Land
Trust.
Then
we'll
take
the
next
couple
of
months
to
consider.
What
are
the
options
we
want
to
hear
from
the
council,
which
way
you're,
leaning
and
we'll
come
back
with
that
set
of
options
and
trying
to
develop
some
some
real
strong
recommendations
based
on
facts
instead
of
dreams
and
and
thank.
D
T
So
if
we
get
to
a
point
where
that's
all,
we
can
do
I
understand
that,
but
that
would
be
those
are
my
least
favorite
I
mean
you
and
I
both
sit
in
housing
groups
where
we're
talking
about
how
to
create
land,
more
land,
trust
and
do
all
this
stuff
so
be
very
disappointing
to
lose
the
you
know
the
22
that
we
have
so
that's
if
we
can
keep
it
and
it
can
be
functional.
That
would
be
ideal.
G
W
We've
been
looking
at
the
Foreclosure
intervention
and
prevention
program.
That's
coming
out,
I
think
it
was
passed
in
legislation,
but
the
hcd
is
still
packaging
it
up
as
a
program.
It's
not
expected
to
be
released
for
another
year,
but
that
is
something
that
we're
looking
at
to
be
an
infusion
into
the
program
to
expand
our
services.
W
S
S
You
know
the
the
reason
we
were
able
to
do
as
much
as
we
did
back
in
the
early
2000s
was
because
of
the
Redevelopment
agency.
We
had
an
inclusionary
zoning
requirement
that
if
a
project
had
more
than
a
certain
number
of
units,
I
want
to
say
it
was
like
five,
then
ten
percent
of
the
units
had
to
go
towards
affordable
housing
and
so
for
for
subdivisions.
S
You
know
with
this
really
strong
tool
of
the
Redevelopment
agency
and
then
the
the
backup
financing
you
know
back.
Then
we
had
Community
Development
block
grant
program
income
that
we
could
rely
on.
We
had
the
home
program
income
that
we
could
rely
on.
We
oftentimes
had
a
home
grant
that
we
could
rely
on,
and
then
we
had
the
Redevelopment
agency.
So
we
had
lots
of
different
resources
to
draw
on
to
be
able
to
finance
these
projects.
S
It's
gotten
really
thin
I
mean
our
our
sources
for
where
we
go
after
these
is
really
thin.
Even
if
we
got
a
project,
I
mean
I.
Think
that's
part
of
what
we
want
to
spend
the
next
three
months
really
evaluating
is.
Can
we
really
develop
a
sustainable
financing
program
that
won't
put
us
in
this
position
because
I
feel
like
every
home,
that's
sold,
except
for
one
in
the
last
five
years
we've
been
in
this
situation,
where
we're
scrambling
to
try
and
figure
out?
How
do
we
Finance
this
thing
and
that's
just
it's?
G
S
I
think
we're
hopeful
that
we
can
find
a
way
to
make
it
happen.
I
think
you
know
like
you're,
saying
I
mean
I.
We
were
months
ago
talking
about
how
do
we
wind
down
the
land,
trust
and
then
the
next
meeting
I
had
with
Beth?
She
was
like
you
know
what
I
really
want
to
make
more
land
trust
properties,
and
so
I
was
like.
Okay,
let's
see
how
we
can
make
this
happen,
you
know,
and
so
I
think
I.
S
W
Yeah,
so
you
know
how's
positively,
small,
non-profit,
with
only
105
units
in
our
portfolio.
We
really
needed
to
have
a
financial
partner
in
any
new
project
that
we're
going
into,
and
so
it
made
sense
for
us
to
merge
with
a
non-profit
in
Mendocino
County,
and
so
now
we
operate
with
over
I
believe
we
have
over
4
000
units
in
our
portfolio,
so
we
have
a
bigger
umbrella
that
we
can,
you
know,
use
the
risk.
Is
you
know
it's?
It's
it's
still
there.
W
As
a
real
estate
developer,
you
have
to
speculate,
we
have
to
put
in
a
lot
of
pre-development
money
in
a
project,
but
we
have
a
bigger
umbrella
that
can
kind
of
mitigate
for
that
risk.
So
that's
you
know
one
way
that
we
would.
We
feel
more,
you
know
stable
as
an
organization
to
be
able
to
look
at
another
Community
Land
Trust
project.
The
new
construction.
W
You
know
model
is
a
little
bit
harder.
The
land
is
really
expensive.
Land
values
are
rising,
construction
cost
is
rising,
that's
difficult,
but
we
could
look
at
existing
housing
stock
and
look
at
more
of
a
community
development
model
where
we're
looking
at
existing
homes
and
then
separating
out
the
the
property
rights
of
existing
homes
through
a
rehabilitation
program.
So
that
is
something
that
we
can
take
a
look
at
to
expand
our
services.
It
may
not
be
new
construction.
S
And
then
the
last
thing
I
would
say
is
that
you
know
as
we
look
towards
the
future
with
you
know:
infill
development,
the
potential
for
you
know
condo
projects
and
that
sort
of
thing
we've
been
talking
about
bringing
inclusionary
zoning
back
to.
You
know,
try
and
make
sure
that
we've
got
that
that
affordable
housing
component
and
with
you
know
larger
projects
that
are
condo
that
have
inclusionary
zoning.
There's.
S
No
reason
why
those
couldn't
be
land
trusted
as
well
we'll
have
to
think
through
exactly
what
that
looks
like,
because
the
the
land
is
also
in
in
common
through
a
condo,
but
I
think
there
are
ways
to
to
expand
in
the
future.
The
problem
that
we
ran
into
is
that
we
basically
without
expanding
outside
of
our
borders,
we've
used
up
all
the
land
that
is
readily
subdividable,
so
there's
no
more
single-family
homes
that
are
going
to
be
added
to
subdivisions
that
we
can.
Then
extract
through
an
inclusionary
zoning
requirement
into
the
CLT.
Q
S
Plan
unit
development
is
a
term
that's
pretty
common
in
the
real
estate
market
and
generally,
what
I
think
Realtors
are
referring
to
when
they
say
plan
unit
development
is
a
common
wall.
Development
like
town
homes
or
you
know,
a
condo
project.
That's
basically
one
one
story
tall.
You
you
own
the
entire.
If
it's
two
stories
tall,
you
as
a
homeowner
would
own
that
entire
unit
and
then
the
next
one
is
somebody
else's.
A
I
just
didn't
know
if
you
had
another
question:
okay,
perfect
and
just
to
add
my
two
cents
before
we
move
to
public
comment.
I
would
also
agree
that
option
stream
four
seemed
like
the
less
desirable
and
thinking
continue
forward
with
that.
You
know
home
ownership.
Opportunity
through
the
land,
trust
is
is
preferable
if
we
can
make
it
work
and
I.
Think
that's
what
everybody
wants,
but
I
see
some
nervous
faces
at
this
table.
A
A
Q
A
Wonderful
okay.
Well,
let's
open
this
item
up
for
public
comment,
we
will
start
start
with
in-person
public
comment.
First,
if
you
are
here
in
person
and
want
to
comment
on
the
land,
trust
programs,
please
make
your
way
to
the
podium
and
then
we'll
move
to
zoom
comments.
We
will
not
be
going
back
and
forth
and
so
Now's
the
Time.
H
Thank
you
first
I
want
to
give
an
extreme
thank
you
to
David
and
Beth
for
all
your
efforts
to
help
with
homeownership
at
Arcata.
It's
as
among
the
most
important
fast
facets
again:
I'll
refer
the
council
and
and
the
viewers
in
the
audience
about
the
Ali
presentation
that
Beth
and
Chris
Stark
did
it's
an
hour
and
20
minutes.
There
is
the
full
transcription
arcade1.com
it's
easier
to
read
or
faster
to
read
than
to
watch
the
video.
H
Also
on
arcade1.com
there's
a
letter
to
the
editor
that
I
wrote
in
2019
to
the
North
Coast
Journal
called
thinking
outside
the
box
and
describes
how
they
do
housing
in
Vienna
Austria,
where
the
rents
are
about
one
quarter
of
those
of
other
major
European
cities.
I,
don't
think
we
could
use
their
techniques
here,
but
it's
interesting
reading.
H
The
I
also
will
voice
that
conversion
to
rentals
should
be
absolutely
the
last
last
option.
I've
been
exploring
the
notion
of
shared
ownership
as
a
legal
partnership
between
landlords
who
don't
want
to
be
landlords
anymore,
and
they
can
create
a
legal
partnership
with
someone
who
you
call
a
tenant,
but
it's
actually
they'd
be
a
part
owner
of
the
property
as
landlord
who's
getting
older,
I'm
less
interested
in
being
a
landlord,
and
it
is
an
opportunity
to
join
forces
with
a
younger
person.
I
have
seen
this
in
Berkeley
I
think
it
can
happen.
H
H
The
there
also
can
be
a
new
landlord
who
doesn't
have
the
resources
to
buy
a
house
for
450
or
500
000,
but
is
interested
in
the
benefits
or
the
partial
benefits
of
landlording,
but
not
the
costs
or
the
lack
of
Civility
and
I
have
a
tenant
who
I've
had
for
seven
years,
who
has
a
lower
than
Market
Grant
price?
He
does
all
the
maintenance
and
he's
you
know
a
tenant
from
Heaven,
you
might
say,
and
it
works
out
real
well
for
me.
He
can
stay
there
forever.
H
J
Howdy
howdy.
Thank
you
very
much
Beth.
That
was
a
really
informative
synopsis
of
the
program.
I
think
this
is
a
great
way
for
non
or
renters
current
renters
non-home
owners
to
enter
into
the
Home
Market,
but
I
would
say
that
there
is
a
need
for
affordable
rentals
as
well.
I've
said
it
before,
but
I'll
say
it
again.
J
When
you
look
at
the
the
stock
of
rentals
in
Arcata,
it's
owned
by
three
people,
and
so
while
they
don't
technically
have
a
monopoly,
they
do
a
very
good
job
at
matching,
each
other's
prices
and
so
effectively.
You
have
an
environment
where
people
who
are
renting,
even
if
you
know
there
are
affordable
home
buying
options
present
their
income
is
so
taxed
that
they
will
never
have
the
opportunity,
even
as
low-income
people
to
buy
homes
and
so
having
a
model
where
we
can
incorporate.
J
You
know
rentals,
as
well
as
home,
buying
opportunities
for
people
I,
think
that
would
be
a
really
nice
mix,
so
more
thought
to
it
to
Second
what
Fred
said.
Vienna
does
have
a
really
fantastic
model,
but
inclusionary
zoning
is
a
key
part
of
that,
and
all
of
these
things
that
we're
talking
about
with
the
Gateway
project
are
interesting
to
explore.
Maybe
one
funding
opportunity
would
be
a
hefty
tax
on
any
developers
who
refuse
to
build
over
two
stories,
potentially
Vienna,
for
example,
any
partnership
that
they
do
with
developers.
J
50
of
the
units
have
to
be
have
to
go
to
low-income
residents,
but
your
if
your
income
changes
during
that
time
when
you're
living
in
the
unit,
you
don't
have
to
move
out.
So
it
creates
a
mix
of
income
types
of
household
types,
and
so
you
don't
have
this
kind
of
income
segregation
that
we
see
in
a
lot
of
other
low-income
housing
developments
that
might
degrade
overall
property
value
over
time
or
create
unsafe
housing
environments.
So
I
mean
I,
guess
in
summation.
Diversity
is
really
the
key
here.
J
M
Well,
I
do
think
home
ownership
is
important
for
pretty
much
everywhere
in
our
country
in
our
region
having
affordable
rental
options,
as
we
have
stated
before,
particularly
if
it's
owned
through
a
land,
trust
or
other
institution,
that's
either
publicly
held
or
through
a
non-profit
organization.
I
think
is
a
phenomenal
idea
if
we
can
remove
a
large
portion
of
the
profit
incentive
on
rentals.
That
would
help
our
community
greatly.
M
Y
Hi.
Thank
you.
Thanks
for
the
great
presentation,
it
is
obviously
a
complex
topic
I'm
asking
to
please
focus
on
home
ownership.
We
have
approximately
70
percent
rentals
and
30
percent
owner
occupied
housing
in
Arcata.
We
need
to
balance
out
that
ratio,
pride
of
ownership
results
in
a
better
maintained
home
and,
by
extension,
neighborhood
increased
Community,
Pride
and
emotional
investment
in
our
community
results.
Y
You've
probably
heard
of
the
missing
middle.
The
land
trust
model
is
a
way
to
assist
the
shrinking
middle
class.
Home
ownership
in
a
land
trust
model
will
assist.
The
missing
middle
Market
forces
are
almost
insurmountably
in
favor
of
quote
Luxury
Rentals
end
quote
the
please
do
everything
you
can
to
assist
home
ownership
opportunities
and
by
the
way
the
Vienna
model
will
never
happen
in
this
country,
thanks
to
the
overwhelming
opposition
to
the
kind
of
Taxation
that
facilitates
it.
Thank
you.
Thanks
for
your
hard
work
on
this
issue,.
V
You
know
it
definitely
focused
primarily
on
rentals
I
mean
we
will
see
that
in
the
Gateway
and
it's
important
because
it
sounds
like
one
way
or
another.
It
needs
to
be
more
housing
in
this
area,
but
I
applaud
you
for
looking
for
those
opportunities
as
limited
as
they
are
to
continue
to
make
affordable
homeownership
available,
so
yeah
I
would
I
would
support
what
what
the
settlement
is
there.
Thank
you,
foreign.
R
The
rental
model
would
be
sad
as
well.
You
know,
Sherry
brought
up
a
good
point
of
the
overwhelmingly
high
percentage
of
rental
units
compared
to
home
ownership
in
Arcata,
so
anyways
yeah.
So
if
we
could
avoid
that
at
all
costs,
I
know
Community,
Land
trusts
are
kind
of
booming
right
now
it
there's
a
lot
of
other
communities
that
are
kind
of
pushing
for
more
of
them,
Oakland
being
one
of
them.
R
A
G
You
said
two
meetings
might
be
a
little
bit
more
than
two
meetings,
but
that
we
don't
have
to
make
any
final
decision
at
this
time
and
we
can
just
see
what
happens,
what
you're
able
to
come
up
with
that's
what
I
would
move
for
is
to
send
it
back
to
staff.
Let
them
see
what
they
can
come
up
with
without
having
to
go
to
these
drastic
options.
Could.
Q
S
S
What
you
meant
yeah,
trying
to
bring
in
units
that
are
existing,
is
that
yeah
I!
Think
for
for
right
now
we're
going
to
be
laser
focused
on
trying
to
preserve
the
22
units
that
we
have
in
the
program
and
just
just
to
clarify
council
member
Stoneman.
The
the
two
weeks
or
two
meetings
sometime
in
the
next
couple
meetings
would
be
to
come
back
and
ask
for
a
bridge
loan
to
HP,
to
I'm
sorry
to
housing
Humboldt.
So
they
can
purchase
the
home.
S
G
S
No,
it's
not
agendized
I.
Don't
think
that
you
can
take
that
action
tonight,
so
we'll
either
bring
it
back
to
your
next
meeting
or
or
the
one
following,
depending
on
how
quickly
we
can
get
the
materials
together.
We
do
have
a
model.
We've
done
this
a
couple
of
times
before,
so
we
do
have
a
model
for.

M
Council
member
Stillman
I
have
been
a
resident
of
the
Arcata
Garden
Apartments
for
eight
years.
I
have
paid
my
rent
in
full
on
time
every
single
month.
I
want
to
bring
attention
to
how
absolutely
toned
up
you
are
to
say
there
are
certainly
enough
protections
for
renters
if
they
have
lived
somewhere
for
more
than
one
year,
I
and
11
other
people
in
my
block
were
evicted.
Today
we
have
all
been
residents
for
over
two
to
five
years.
Thank
you.
I!
Don't
need
to
hear
anymore.
P
Hi,
my
name
is
Joanna
Gary
and
in
my
climate,
activism
I've
been
working
with
some
other
people
with
the
unitarians
climate
action
campaign
and
the
issue
that's
been
discussed
for
a
long
time
and
is
apparently
wallowing
at
the
energy
committee
is
the
gas
appliances
issue
and,
as
we
now
know,
gas
has
a
lot
of
reasons
for
not
being
promoted
into
the
future
in
our
our
homes.
So
I
know,
we
approved
the
strombrec
plan
that
we
didn't
approve.
P
You
approved
the
strombeck
plan,
that's
going
to
allow
gas
appliances
in
that
development
where
that
gentleman
lives
with
the
new
construction,
so
the
energy
Community
didn't
meet
recently,
let's
jump
over
the
energy
committee
and
get
this
item
on
the
agenda,
especially
when
we're
talking
about
new
homing
housing
developments-
and
you
know
we
need
to
have
in
place
future
thinking,
sustainable,
thrivable,
environmentally
sound
and
public
health,
safe
ways
of
Designing
our
future
homes.
So
that's
that.
P
I
guess
today
was
kind
of
the
first
sort
of
initial
thing
and
I
didn't
stick
around
very
much
because
I
had
other
things,
I
needed
to
do,
but
I'm,
hopefully
going
to
volunteer
and
be
involved
somewhat
in
that,
because
the
houseless
issue
has
become
just
really
impactful
in
my
life
and
so
I
just
want
to
share
with
you
that
I
have
communicated
with
all
of
you
and
you,
some
of
you
have
communicated
back.
It's
not
been
very
pleasant.
P
The
day
before
when
I
went
up
there
to
read
the
bulletin
board
and
I
just
want
you
to
know
that
it's
really
really
been
harmful
and
painful.
To
me
to
have
all
these
type
of
violent
and
un
unhealthy
things
happening
in
our
community,
and
we
can
change
them
so
quickly
and
easily
by
working
together
and
I.
Just
want
you
to
know
that
I
care
and
I
maybe
care
too
much,
and
so
it's
really
upsetting.
Sometimes
when
I
see
the
responses
from
people
like
you.
H
Yes,
good
evening,
the
second
draft
of
the
Gateway
plan
came
out
October
22nd
last
year
three
months
ago.
It
specifically
did
not
include
things
that
did
not
agree
with
the
first
draft.
This
evening
we
got
an
email
from
the
city
that
the
recommendations
for
changes,
a
table
that
we've
been
asking
for
is
out.
It's
online,
the
it's
their
composed
of
summaries
of
the
committee
input
for
the
Transportation
Safety
Committee
on
the
L
Street
couplet.
H
It
says,
maintain
current
configure
configuration,
which
means
the
L
Street
as
it
is,
remove
the
cost
of
L
Street
as
an
arterial
couplet
with
K
Street
from
figures
I.
Consider
that
to
be
a
100,
inadequate
summary
of
what
they
said,
I've
seen
meetings
where
committee
members
and
when
they
viewed
the
summaries
they
said
that
is
not
what
we
said.
H
The
framework
that
is
designed
for
the
Gateway
plan
involves
everything
being
filtered
through
David
before
it
goes
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
eventually
to
the
city
council.
The
Committees
do
have
opportunities
to
go
back
and
see
things,
but
you
can't
just
be
involved
in
all
these
iterations,
like
that.
It's
an
untenable
system,
I
regard
it
as
an
poor
management.
You've
heard
this
from
me.
H
If
you
on
a
scale
of
one
to
ten,
this
summary
as
it
exists,
I
can't
even
give
it
a
one.
It
should
be
revised,
gone
back
and
really
say
what
the
Committees
have
said.
There
are
very
few
people,
I
don't
go
to
all
the
meetings,
but
I
go
to
more
meetings
than
most
very
few
people
go
to
both
the
Planning
Commission
meetings
in
the
city
council.
Different
things
are
set
by
staff
to
you
and
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
to
the
Committees.
Remember
how
excited
we
were
about
the
3D
modeling.
H
Everyone
was
exciting
on
the
new
draft
plan.
It's
just
still
a
blank
page
where
the
visualizations
are
supposed
to
be.
The
engagement
report
came
out
six
months
ago.
It's
supposed
to
be
a
living
seven
months
ago.
It's
supposed
to
be
a
living
document.
You've
heard
this
many
times.
It
does
not
include
the
in
information
from
the
January
open
house
over
a
year
ago.
It
is
on
arcade1.com,
because
a
citizen
did
that
I
have
a
handout.
H
Here,
specifically,
council
member
Meredith
Matthews
asked
a
question
a
couple
weeks
ago:
I
have
it
here,
there's
a
simple
question:
David
spoke
for
five
and
a
half
minutes.
I.
Don't
think
he
answered
the
question.
This
happens
regularly.
It
happens
many
many
times.
I'm,
not
saying
this
specific
question
is
an
issue
that
I
want
to
see
answered,
but
this
is
this
is
what
I
work
against
okay.
So
this
is
a
handout,
and
it
also
has
the
coincidentally
about
home
ownership
on
here.
Thank
you
and
thanks
for
your
time,.
V
Hi
I
did
want
to
follow
up
with
Fred's
statements
there,
specifically
because
I
feel
like,
after
all
the
time
where
the
comments
concerning
L
Street,
as
far
as
from
both
the
Transportation
safety
and
from
numerous
community
members
have
been
considered,
non-compodian
and
now
they're.
You
know
made
available
as
these
conflicting
views
and
hopefully
as
they're
presented
to
the
Planning
Commission,
and
it
says,
with
Alternatives,
with
opportunities
to
discuss
and
that's
just
ongoing
through
the
three
areas
where
they
discuss
it,
that
it
will
be
flushed
out
Beyond.
V
This
point
that
it's,
it
doesn't
work
with
the
plan,
so
it
shouldn't
be
discussed,
I
mean
when
that
was
first
presented.
It's
it's
it's
kind
of
heartbreaking
because
we've
been
spending,
you
know
so
much
time.
You
know
giving
Community
input
in
so
many
areas
and
and
numerous
ones
were
considered
non-comporting
and
were
not
presented
and
considered
as
being
just
discounted
and
I
I
hope
at
this
point
in
time.
You
know
when
you
have
these,
you
know
recommendations
from
so
many
different
areas
that
you
will.
V
You
know
seriously
consider
what
the
public
is
saying
and
I
don't
know
if
we
need
to
come
forward
with
numbers,
but
whatever
it'll
take
I
I
wish
that,
as
this
information
is
made
available
to
you,
that
you
can,
you
can
take
it
under
consideration.
You
know
and
give
a
sense
that
you
know
we're
being
listened
to
and
our
hard
work
is
being
paid
attention
to.
T
D
Everybody
know
that
I
think
is
going
to
be
on
the
Forefront
of
everybody's
mind
when
we're
moving
forward
with
what
we
want
our
goals
to
look
like
Road,
Safety,
also,
electrification,
I
know
it's
stuck
in
the
energy
committee,
I'm
I'm,
trying
to
work
and
figure
out
if
there's
grid
reliability
to
go
all
electric,
but
I
definitely
want
to
get
that
agendized
soon,
because
it
really
is
important.
I
feel
sad
that
the
Westwood
garden
department
was
all
gas
I
November.
D
A
A
They
told
me
not
to
call
it
a
developer,
a
port,
Builder
and
Lisa
from
the
the
harbor
District
to
be
able
to
then
bring
in
the
wind
developers.
Who
will
then
use
that
Harbor
import
to
you
know
create
these
wind
turbines
and
take
them
offshore,
and
so
the
their
VP
was
there
and
then
also
of
their
win
services
and
a
bunch
of
other
members
of
their
team.
A
But
it
was
really
positive
meeting
with
just
a
ton
of
the
Peninsula
Community
Services
district
and
like
Peninsula
Community
group,
that
has
kind
of
formed
around
this,
along
with
County
Supervisor
Arroyo,
a
ton
of
different
representation
from
all
of
the
different
tribes,
folks
from
Arcata
and
Eureka
all
there.
And
so
it
was
a
really
cool
introduction.
A
So
hopefully,
coming
up
here
soon
we'll
get
a
presentation
from
them.
I
know
it's
not
directly
in
Arcata,
but
it
is
something
that's
going
to
affect
the
the
whole
County
and
honestly
state,
so
it'll
be
interesting
to
hear
from
them
and
be
able
to
give
some
feedback
and
see
what
you
know.
Their
plans
are
for
that
space
with
the
harbor
District.
So
that
was
really
cool
and
I'm
glad
to
be
a
part
of
it.
So
I'll
pass
it
down
the
line.
Q
Thank
you.
So,
as
the
newest
council,
member
I
had
to
pick
out
some
committees
and
the
jpa
and
I
chose
specifically
two
committees
that
I
personally
have
a
passion
for
which
is
to
address
the
unhoused
and
I
just
want
to
say
to
you,
Joanne
I.
Don't
think
that
we
can
care
too
much.
So
thank
you
for
what
you
do
in
our
community.
Q
The
bad
news
is
that
their
funding
is
gone
and
so
we're
back
to
not
really
having
an
extreme
weather
shelter.
Now,
while
their
funding
is
gone,
they
have
to
very
be
very
judicious
and
how
they
move
forward.
So
they're
you
know
going
to
have
to
be
careful
when
they
render
services,
so
we
do
need
to
come
up
with
another
stop
Gap
measure,
so
we
can
come
up
with
something
permanent.
Q
It
was
mostly
housekeeping.
We
elected
new
officers
executive
committee
and
also
appointed
a
new
member
for
the
loan
committee.
Today,
I
had
an
opportunity
to
attend
a
community
workshop
on
public
transit.
There
were
32
particip
events,
I
saw
some
familiar
faces
from
Arcata,
both
our
city
engineer,
netra
katri
and
the
Coalition
for
responsible
Transportation
priorities.
Colin
Fisk
was
there
as
well
as
other
familiar
faces
from
Arcata
in
the
community.
Q
There
was
discussion
by
both
the
community
members
as
well
as
many
organizations
such
as
350
Humboldt
crtp,
as
I
said,
who
attended
and
I
also
had
an
opportunity
to
give
some
input
about
various
concerns
for
Arcata.
There
was
robust
discussion
on
ways
to
increase
ridership
increased
frequency
of
stops
course,
climate
change
and
how
to
get
those
who
traditionally
do
not
take
a
bus
on
board,
and
there
was
some
discussion
about
a
student
survey
that
was
done
by
Cal,
Poly,
humble,
which
highlighted
some
concerns
about
students,
not
feeling
safe.

They're
also
going
to
be
making
a
presentation,
maybe
next
month
or
the
month
after
that,
to
Redwood
Regional
Economic
Development
Corporation
about
their
future
and
what
they're
planning
on
doing
and
one
of
the
things
that
their
goal
is,
is
have
connect
connectivity
from
here
down
to
Ukiah
and
be
able
to
go
into
the
Mendocino
system
and
work
your
way,
all
the
way
down
to
San
Francisco
or
the
Bay
Area.
So
that's
a
goal
of
theirs
and
also
to
go
East
to
do
the
same.
A

But
it'll
be
5,
30
or
6
o'clock
that
one
will
probably
be
six
o'clock.
Okay,
all
right.
So
the
21st
February
21st
for
chairs
committee
chairs
and
then
goal
setting
looks
like
the
best
date
is
March
7th,
also
a
Tuesday
and
we'll
send
these
out
yeah.
You
don't
have
to
you.
Don't
have
to
put
them
in
your
account.
Well,
it'd
be
good
to
put
hold
so
March
7th.
