City of Arcata Live Stream
B
All
right:
okay,
well,
hello,
folks
and
Welcome
to
our
Planning
Commission
interviews.
This
evening
we
have
two
interviewees.
We
have
Ethan
Lawton
and
Abigail
Strickland.
So
thank
you
both
for
joining
us.
We
will
be
interviewing
these
two
candidates
tonight
for
one
vacancy
on
the
Planning
Commission
with
a
term
ending
March,
31st,
2027,
and
so
the
way
we'll
do
it
we'll
start
with
Ethan
you'll
answer
first
and
then
Abby
and
we'll
switch
kinda
back
and
forth.
Who
gets
the
opportunity
to
answer?
B
C
All
right
welcome
and
thank
you
both
for
applying
first
question,
we'll
start
with
Ethan,
so
Ethan
tell
us
about
your
background
in
urban
planning
and
land
use.
E
D
Little
bit
about
me
is
my
name's
Ethan
and
I've
been
in
Humboldt
for
over
10
years
now
my
experience
in
planning
and
and
such
comes
from
my
daytime
job
I'm,
a
planner
with
shn
I,
do
Municipal
planning
environmental
planning.
E
D
Hat
is
I'm
a
tribal
liaison
with
with
shn
and
I
assist
in
tribal
planning.
You
know
it's
quite
different
in
regards
to
that.
So
there
is
that
kind
of
background
that
that
helps
with
with
that
kind
of
framework
in
planning
that
I
provide
and
so
to
keep
it
short,
I'll
leave
it
at
that
and
I
and
open
to
any
additional
questions
either
now
or
later,
but.
C
F
Do
that,
okay?
So
keep
it
brief
by
saying
that
I've
been
on
this
side
of
the
diocese
many
times,
but
I've
never
had
to
talk
about
myself
or
present
to
myself,
so
it's
mildly,
uncomfortable
position,
but
I
will
say
that
I've
been
in
Arcata
for
over
five
years,
I
graduated
from
Hsu
before
it
was
Cal,
Poly,
humble
and
I
received
a
degree
in
environmental
science
and
management,
with
a
concentration
in
planning
and
policy.
Shortly
after
graduating,
I
started
at
the
Humboldt
County
Planning
department
and
I
worked
under
John
Ford.
F
So
I
worked
at
the
planning
department
for
over
two
years
presented
before
the
Planning
Commission
zoning
administrator,
completed
ministerial
discretionary
permits,
emergency
permits
and
I
just
started
with
the
California
Coastal
Commission
in
February
working
on
Transportation
projects,
I'm
part
of
the
Statewide
program,
so
my
jurisdiction
is
delnor
Mendocino
and
Humboldt
counties
and
I've
started
to
learn
more
about
Transportation
Planning,
which
I
feel
like
is
extremely
useful,
especially
for
the
concerns
we
have
in
our
city.
So
thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
wonderful!
Thank
you
both.
So
this
question
will
go
to
you.
First
Abby
provide
an
example
of
when
you
worked
to
build
consensus
with
a
group
representing
multiple
viewpoints
and
I
know.
You
alluded
to
that
in
your
previous
answer.
Yeah.
F
So
one
successful,
although
the
definition
of
consensus
I,
don't
know
that
I've
ever
had
a
project
that
made
every
single
person
happy,
but
I
will
say
that
one
project
I
worked
on
was
a
special
permit
for
a
commercial
operation,
while
I
was
working
for
Humboldt
County
and
the
neighbors
were
concerned
that
the
site
really
wasn't
suited
for
the
size
of
development
that
was
being
proposed
by
the
applicant.
So
we
ended
up
building
a
phased
approach
into
the
permit
and
requiring
kind
of
success
criteria
being
met
prior
to
moving
forward
with
full
build
out.
F
So
that
was
that
was
a
successful
example.
Also
drafting
special
like
drafting
permit
conditions
that
follow
smart
principles,
making
sure
there's
specific,
measurable,
attainable,
realistic,
And,
Timely
and
also
imposing
other
referral
agencies,
conditions,
those
from
Public
Works
cdfw
contacting
the
local
tribes
and
seeing
if
they
want
monitoring.
So
that
project,
in
my
opinion,
was
successful.
B
Thanks
same
question
to
you,
Ethan
provide
an
example
of
when
you
work
to
build
consensus
with
a
group
representing
multiple
viewpoints.
D
An
example
would
be
developing
a
land
use
plan
for
a
tribe
in
Del,
Norte,
County,
working
with
the
city
and
the
county,
as
well
as
the
tribe
and
the
tribal
members,
as
well
as
the
tribal
council
and
the
other
various
departments
in
collecting
the
interests
and
desires
and
values
and
priorities
and
figuring
out
a
path
forward
that
can
best
address
each
as
expressed
another
example,
would
be
updating
housing
elements
for
jurisdictions.
As
many
as
you
well
know,
it
requires
multitude
of
stakeholders
both
in
the
public
sector
and
in
the
private
sector.
G
D
I
as
staff
to
planning
Commissioners
I
greatly
value
the
staff
reports
that
are
put
together
and
they
are
provided
for
a
reason,
and
that
is
to
minimize
discussion
or
to
minimize
the
time
that
it
takes
to
to
have
an
informed
discussion
and
make
an
informed
decision.
So
I
would
review
the
staff
report
on
the
consensus
to
support
a
finding
that
needs
to
be
made
according
to
whatever
is
being
presented
and
then
discussion
from
there.
Questions
and
consideration
of
public
comment
and
other
commissioner
input
as
well,
and
if
necessary,
questions
and
direction
to
staff.
F
Want
me
to
repeat
it:
no
I
believe
I
I
have
that
down.
So
one
of
the
first
things
I
would
likely
do
is
look
at
what
public
comment
was
provided
on
the
project
that
often
identify
helps
to
identify
what
stakeholders
see
to
be
some
of
the
primary
concerns,
also
not
recreating
the
wheel
and
reaching
out
to
technical
staff.
F
If
I
have
questions
I
understand
that
I'm
not
expected
to
be
the
expert
on
everything
so
reach
out
to
staff
if
they're,
available
and
I
believe
the
answer,
question
also
I
write
a
lot
of
Staff
reports
and
I
attach
exhibits
to
staff
reports.
All
the
time
and
I
know
that
you
don't
need
to
look
at
all
80
pages
of
the
layout
plans
to
have
an
understanding
of
the
project.
So
that
answers
my
question.
Thanks
for
your
question,
thank.
G
A
F
Don't
I
can
answer
yeah
I
could
hear
you
just
fine,
so
I've
lived
on
Samoa
and
G
Street
for
five
years,
and
it's
a
very
it's
a
an
area
where
you
can
see
the
need
for
housing
in
the
community.
I
go
for
around
at
the
marsh
every
day.
Almost
and
I
can
see
the
makeshift
camps
there
and
I
recognize
that
there
are
larger
issues
than
them
simply
not
having
somewhere
to
go,
but
needing
employment,
assistance
and
assistance
with
transitional
housing.
D
D
I
believe,
based
on
limited
knowledge,
that
the
most
significant
challenge
is
addressing
everything
that
the
city
needs
to
address
in
regards
to
updating
documents
to
facilitating
proper
public
notice
and
public
comment,
and
it
seems
like
there's
just
so
much
going
on
and
not
enough
time
to
to
address
everything.
A
D
C
D
You
know
disclosing
it
in
the
meeting
as
well,
maybe
visiting
the
sites
that
are
being
subject
to
review
I'm
aware
of
the
the
time
commitment
that
follows
with
making
an
informed
decision,
and
the
second
part
of
that
question
was
how
have
I
been.
D
I've
watched
the
past
handful
of
Planning
Commission
meetings,
which
have
been
quite
extensive
and
tried
to
be
familiar
with
the
topics
at
hand
as
well
as
I'm,
in
the
process
of
reviewing
some
of
the
the
documents
that
are
currently
being
reviewed.
F
No
I,
don't
thank
you.
Oh
okay,
so
I
would
say
that
the
time
and
commitment,
that's
ever
changing
some
weeks
might
be
busier
than
others
and
I'd
like
to
say
that
I'd
devote
15
to
20
hours
per
week
for
the
commission,
but
I
also
recognize
that
as
humans,
there
is
no
like
off
the
clock,
especially
when
you're
a
planner
I
feel
like
I,
see
the
world
through
a
planner's
lens
in
many
cases
and
I'm
often
brainstorming
like
who
do
I
contact
or
call
about
this
mess.
F
That's
here
or
you
know
what
kind
of
steps
are
being
taken
to
address
what's
going
on
out
here
and
so
I
am
willing
to
dedicate
the
time
required
and
I
familiarize
myself
with
the
commission's
work
by
also
watching
the
hearings,
but
I
also
enjoy
planning
on
like
a
more
Regional
level
level
and
watching
the
Humboldt
County
Planning
Commission
hearings
or
the
Board
of
Supervisors
hearings,
and
then
also
watching
the
coastal
commission
hearings
to
just
gain
experience
and
I.
Think
it's
really
important
to
also
see
what's
worked
well
in
other
settings.
So.
B
Thank
you.
Well,
we
have
one
more
question
written
down
and
then,
if
other
council
members
have
thought
of
something
that
they
want
to
follow
up
with,
but
in
closing
and
I
get
we'll
start
with
Abby
this
time
correct,
yeah.
Overall,
what
is
your
interest
for
serving
on
the
Planning
Commission,
whether
that
be
you
know
your
love
of
Arcata,
a
personal
ambition,
something
you
got
going
on
in
your
brain,
so
so.
F
I
also
started
working
at
the
Humboldt
County
Planning
Department,
with
like
five
other
kids,
who
kids
five
other
friends
who
all
graduated
when
I
did
so
I
feel
this
like
up-and-coming,
like
Rising,
younger
generation
of
planners
and
I,
think
it's
really
cool
to
be
a
part
of
that
and
I
live
across
the
street.
So
I'm
I'm
interested
in
dedicating
my
time
to
building
a
better
Arcata.
B
And
again
same
question
to
you:
Ethan
what
interests
you
in
serving
on
the
commission,
In
This,
Moment.
D
I
want
to
contribute
to
the
community
and
I
feel
capable
of
contributing
in
this
way
and
fashion
and
I
believe
my
daytime
job
enables
me
to
to
serve
in
a
capacity
that
that
is
necessary
and
vice
versa.
This
this
service
would
also
help
me
better
serve
in
my
planning
capabilities
as
well,
so
it
only
is
a
evolving
scenario
that
only
just
gets
better
and
better.
B
Thank
you
both
so
much
any
council
members
have
any
follow-up
questions
that
they
would
like
to
ask
at
this
time.
We
have
a
little
bit
more
time
before
our
regular
meeting
I.
G
Do
so
this
question
is
for
Ethan,
you
said
that
you've
been
in
the
area
Arcata
area
for
seven
years,
I
was
just
wondering.
Is
that
the
time
that
you've
been
working
here
or
have
you
actually
lived
in
Arcata
during
that
time?.
D
There
was
a
short
period
of
time
where
I
lived
in
Arcata
along
Speer
Avenue,
but
I
primarily
lived
in
McKinleyville
I
worked
in
Arcata
above
where
Golden
Harvest
used
to
be
so.
I've
worked
there
for
seven
years
and
as
a
result
of
most
of
my
community
is
an
Arcata,
my
friends
and
lunch
and
dinner,
and
that's
my
community,
and
so
that's
where
my
connection
with
Arcata
has
been
for
the
past
seven
years.
G
F
So
I
work
in
the
Statewide
Transportation
program,
so
I'm
process
Caltrans
permits
in
the
coastal
zone.
We
do
have
someone
in
our
office
who
focuses
on
the
local
Coastal
program
and
the
updates
that'll
be
coming
before
the
commission,
so
I
recognize
that
I
will
need
to
or
may
need
to,
consult
with.
The
coastal
commission
attorneys
like
I,
did
prior
to
even
applying
here
to
determine,
if
there's
a
situation
that
requires
me
to
recuse
myself.
Thank.
B
You
and
that
kind
of
was,
was
going
to
be
one
of
my
follow-up
questions,
because
I
know
that
you
both
work
pretty
deeply
in
the
community
with
organizations
that
the
city
sees
a
lot
of
permits
from
with
both
in
the
private
sector
with
shn
and
public
agencies.
So
I
was
going
to
ask
you
know:
are
you
aware
of
possible
conflicts
of
interest
and
how
you
would
address
those
Abby?
You
kind
of
already
answered
that
but
Ethan
same
question
to
you.
D
Yes-
and
this
was
a
discussion
I
had
with
my
supervisor
prior
to
applying,
because
I
didn't
want
to
put
either
the
city
in
a
sticky
situation
or
the
the
company
I
work
with,
and
so
the
I'm
aware
of
of
potential
instances
where
that
may
take
place,
but
for
the
most
part,
I
was
assured.
That
would
not
happen
often,
and
in
the
case
it
does.
I
definitely
am
aware
of
the
need
to
bring
it
up
and
maybe
even
discuss
with
the
city
attorney
when
necessary.
B
B
D
B
D
D
B
B
Good
evening
and
thank
you
for
viewing
and
attending
the
August
2nd
meeting
of
the
Arcata
city
council,
the
city
council
meeting
is
being
held
as
a
hybrid
meeting,
with
both
in-person
attendance
and
teleconference
access
via
Zoom.
Our
first
item
on
our
agenda
tonight
is
a
land
acknowledgment.
The
city
of
Arcata
acknowledges
that
the
lands
we
are
located
on
are
the
unseated
ancestral
lands
of
the
wiat
tribe.
B
The
land
that
Arcada
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
weap
and
other
indigenous
peoples
from
their
land
and
threaten
to
destroy
their
cultural
practices.
The
city
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'd
like
to
join
us,
please
stand
for
this
flag.
Salute.
B
Thank
you.
So
if
you
wish
to
make
a
comment
tonight
during
our
meeting
either
doing
during
during
the
two
open
public
comment
periods
or
for
an
individual
agenda
item,
there
are
three
ways
to
do
so.
If
you're
here
in
person,
please
line
up
behind
the
podium
when
the
item
you
would
like
to
speak
on
is
accepting
public
comment.
B
If
you're
logged
in
on
Zoom
click
raise
your
hand
when
it's
time
for
public
comment
on
the
item
you
wish
to

if
you're
on
your
phone
press
star
9
to
raise
your
hand
and
what
is
your
turn?
You
will
be
prompted
to
dial
Star
6
to
unmute
your
phone
for
each
item.
We
will
take
the
in-person
public
comment
first
and
then
move
to
online
comments.
B
We
will
not
be
going
back
and
forth
so
if
you're
wanting
to
comment,
please
line
up
at
the
podium
or
raise
your
electronic
hand
as
soon
as
comment
is
being
requested
for
that
item
all
right,
our
next
item.
There
are
no
ceremonial
matters
this
evening,
so
that
takes
us
to
a
report
by
commission
or
committee,
and
this
evening
we
have
our
annual
report
from
the
energy
committee
and
George
Williamson
is
here
to
present
it.
No
Michael
Winkler
is
here
to
present
it.
Okay
I
saw
you
walk
in
and
I
said.
J
Right
well,
we've
had
a
setback
from
the
state,
but
anyway
that,
as
far
as
accomplishments,
that
before
I
I
took
over
his
chair
that
George
Williamson
and
Andrea
Alston
were
chair
and
vice
chair
respectively.
J
That
the
the
main
thing
that
we
worked
on
is
the
Arcata.
On
that
electric
initiative.
The
the
purpose
of
the
the
initiative
was
to
shift
energy
use
of
new
construction
from
mixed
fuels,
using
natural
gas
to
all
electric
and
the
energy
committee,
and
a
subcommittee
of
the
energy
committee
studied
this
and
report
back
and
reported
back
to
staff
and
delivered
that
to
the
council,
and
it
also
was
evaluated
by
the
City
attorney
it.
J
Unfortunately,
a
few
months
ago,
a
a
judge
ruled
that
the
ordinances
of
this
type
violated
the
power
of
the
federal
government
to
to
regulate
electricity
and
we're.
For
that
reason,
invalid
and
staff
will
now
have
to
go
back
and
evaluate
what
the
alternatives
are
to
achieve
some
similar
purposes
that
the
proposed
ordinance
was
going
to
achieve,
and
the
City
attorney
and
staff
will
be
looking
at
that.
J
The
the
committee
discussed
various
Alternatives
and
reported
that
back
to
staff,
and
then
staff
will
include
the
comments
from
the
energy
committee
for
further
evaluation
by
staff
and
by
by
the
city
council
that
the
in
addition
to
the
all-electric
initiative.
The
committee
also
has
worked
with
a
number
of
local
groups,
including
Redwood
Coast,
Energy,
Authority,
350
Humboldt,
on
Redwood
Coalition
for
climate,
environmental
responsibility
and
the
company
that
I'm
a
partner
in
Redwood
energy
on
climate
related
issues.
J
This
goals
for
the
upcoming
year
include
Arcata
greenhouse
gas
reduction
and
climate
action
plan
and
another
directive
from
the
council
Transportation
mode
shift,
and
to
be
consistent
with
climate
action
plan,
with
further
direction
from
staff
and
from
Council.
We
will
continue
to
work
on
the
electric
initiative.
J
And,
and
we
also
will
support
staff
in
exploring
low
carbon
options
for
Community,
we
get
resiliency
and
an
area
that
I
work
on
professionally.
That's
also
included
in
our
scope
is
to
identifying
changes
that
occurred
in
the
energy
code
from
the
state
that
went
into
effect
this
this
January
and
then.
Finally,
we
also
will
be
exploring
waste
energy
projects
specifically
having
to
do
with
with
food
waste
and
the
possibilities
of
using
gas
produced
by
anaerobic
digestion
as
an
energy
source.
J
That
was
something
that
was
used
many
years
ago
in
Arcata
and
and
wasn't
successful
at
that
time.
But
there
aren't
directions
from
the
state
of
California
to
be
able
to
do
collection
of
food
waste,
and
this
is
a
beneficial
way
of
using
it
in
a
way
of
offsetting.
Some
of
the
energy
that
we
use
in
Arcata.
J
B
C
Can
I
you
mind,
sir?
Thank
you.
So
much
really
appreciate
all
your
work
on
the
all
electric
initiative.
Did
you
guys
when
you
were
talking
about
like
building
warehousing
and
infill?
Do
you
have
any
research
or
talk
about
like
grid
capacity
and
reliability,
and
is
that
something
that
we
should
be
concerned
with
moving
forward.
J
Well,
this
is
probably
something
that
you
may
have
seen
having
to
do,
especially
with
the
south
of
the
county,
where
they're
they're,
overloaded.
We
we
have
discussed
that-
and
we've
discussed
it
briefly
and
at
this
time,
feedback
that
we're
getting
from
PG
e
is
that
it's
not
an
issue
in
this
part
of
the
county.
It's
specifically
an
issue
in
South
County
and
additional
manufacturing
capabilities
and
demand
that
that
would
put
on
The
Limited
grid.
That's
that's
available
in
Garberville
and
other
parts
of
the
South
part
of
the
county.
C
Thanks
I'm
also
really
interested
in
the
last
thing
you
were
talking
about
the
waste
to
energy
projects,
you
know
being
the
chair
of
the
hwma
board
and
going
talking
about
SP
1383.
That
sounds
like
a
really
interesting
thing
to
continue
to
work
on
so
I'm,
looking
forward
to
hearing
what
you
come
up
with
that.
So
thank
you.
So
much
chair,
Winkler,
it's
nice
to
see
you
you're
welcome
nice
to
see
you
I.
G
So
and-
and
it
was
kind
of
a
piggyback
from
Meredith
with
regards
to
grid
capacity
and
I'm,
really
interested
in
community
resiliency
and
I
know,
you
mentioned
the
benefit,
or
it
says
in
here
the
benefit
of
solar
with
battery
backup
options.
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
might
be
able
to
expound
a
little
bit
more
in
other
low-carbon
options
for
Community
resiliency.
J
Let's
see
it,
one
thing
that's
been
done
by
a
organization
I
used
for
I
used
to
work
for
shots,
Energy
Research
Center
is
that
they've
developed
a
a
micro
grid
for
the
airport
and
the
facilities
associated
with
that
I.
Don't
I,
don't
know
if
you're
familiar
with
that
and
also
the
Blue
Lake
Rancheria
has
also
done
a
micro
grid,
and
so
that's
something
that
could
be
looked
at
to
be
used
in
cases
of
emergency.
J
Currently,
the
city
uses
generators
which
are
fossil
fueled
for
for
backup,
and
it's
something
that
staff
and
the
council
could
look
at
or
give
direction
to
to
the
energy
committee
as
a
lower
carbon
option
for
for
backup
during
emergencies,
either
microgrid
or
replacements
for
current
generators
that
are
used
for
for
the
city
of
our
creator.
For
emergencies.
G
I
would
love
to
see
that
replace,
so.
Thank
you.
We're,
hopefully
we'll
be
able
to
give
some
Direction
as
a
council
to
further
explore
some
options
for
that
to
get
rid
of
generators
that
we're
currently
using
for
fossil.
You
know
fossil
fuel
generators
and
options
for
low-income
households
to
maybe
have
individual
battery
backups,
for
you
know
their
own
homes,
just
during
planned
outages
and
that
kind
of
thing.
J
One
other
thing
that
was
not
included
in
the
report
that
we've
discussed
at
times
as
far
as
Shifting
the
city
away
from
fossil
fuels
is
to
identify
a
neighborhood,
especially
a
low
income
area
of
the
city,
and
and
have
that
as
a
possibility
of
a
prototype
of
Shifting.
All
the
appliances
within
that
area,
from
natural
gas
to
Fountain
to
to
all
electric,
and
we
could
possibly
explore
grant
funding
that
would
be
available
for
for
doing
that.
J
H
J
Update
on
that
for
us
tonight,
and
so
that's
something
that
as
I
was
saying,
we
have
to
look
at
Alternatives,
because
the
original
path
that
we
were
pursuing
that
was
originally
put
into
effect
by
the
city
of
Berkeley
has
been
specifically
overturned
and
and
restricted
by
by
a
federal
court
judge.
At
this
time.
J
Well
previously,
during
the
their
previous
energy
code
cycle
that
this
the
city
of
Arcata
had
what
was
called
a
reach
code
to
encourage
all
electric
construction,
all
that
it
was
not
Banning
natural
gas,
and
that
is
something
that's
a
path
that
we
could
potentially
choose
again
as
an
option.
But
there
are
a
number
of
other
options
that
I
think
that
the
City
attorney
is
looking
into
and
I.
J
J
J
With
waste
yeah
that
one
thing
that
is
fortunate
is
that
the
RCA
has
now
hired
Juliet
Bond
who's,
an
expert
on
this
and
has
worked
on
this
area
for
more
than
20
years.
So
I
think
that
that
Juliet's
experience
could
be
very
helpful
to
RCA
and
I'm
working
on
waste
energy
and
diverting
food
waste
for
in
a
beneficial
way.
B
Thank
you
all
right,
thank
you,
okay,
and
with
that
that
takes
us
now
to
early
oral
Communications.
The
city
values
your
comments,
and
this
is
a
15-minute
time
period
to
allow
people
to
address
the
Council
on
matters
that
are
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
at
the
end
of
all
oral
Communications.
B
The
council
May
respond
to
statements
and
requests
that
require
Council
action
will
be
set
for
a
future
agenda
or
referred
to
staff
speakers
will
be
limited
to
two
minutes
and
there
will
also
be
time
to
comment
specifically
on
each
agenda
item
and
again
at
the
end
of
our
meeting
under
item
number
12,
and
that
is
a
three
minutes
and
so
for
this
early
oral
communication
time
we
do
do
our
card
system.
So
if
you
grab
one
of
those
little
cards
up
there,
that
has
a
number
on
it.
B
You
can
begin
to
just
make
your
way
up
to
the
podium
and
line
up.
We
haven't
been
having
too
many
online
comments,
so
we'll
check
with
online,
but
usually
we'll
take
the
first
four
here
and
check
with
online
just
to
make
sure
we
have
enough
time
for
everybody.
But
if
you're
here
step
up
to
the
podium
two
minutes
items
not
on
the
agenda.
K
Good
evening,
council
members,
my
name
is
Anton
Souza
I'm
here
today
to
continue
the
Arcata
Elementary
School
Zone
traffic,
calming
discussion,
specifically
the
intersection
of
Ross
and
Grant,
a
one-way
Street
being
used
as
a
two-way
by
parents
and
students
and
others
I
noticed
that
tonight's
agenda
includes
the
annual
Paving
project.
However,
Ross
is
still
not
on
the
list
to
be
paved.
K
What
do
we
need
to
do
to
bring
attention
to
the
school
zone?
The
speeding
and
directional
violations,
coupled
with
massive
potholes,
will
only
get
worse
when
the
school
year
starts
and
new
parents
arrive.
Can
we
expect
appropriate
signage
and
speed
humps
this
year,
as
discussed
with
the
council
previously
via
email
and
meetings.
These
traffic
violations
were
clearly
documented
in
the
city's
traffic
audit
nearly
two
years
ago.
That
was
accompanied
also
by
a
traffic
calming
initiative
signed
by
every
resident
on
Ross
Street.
L
M
L
Evening,
my
name
is
Chief
Johnny
Jupiter
and
I
have
Deeds
over
250
years
that
own
this
land
that
you're
sitting
on
so
you're
sitting
on
my
land.
The
federal
government
has
failed
the
American
Indian.
They
spent
six
trillion
dollars
in
a
national
debt
on
covid
and
my
people
are
hungry.
My
people
don't
have
their
teeth
fixed.
My
people
don't
own
their
own
homes.
Yet
you're
on
my
land,
I'm
here
to
negotiate
a
successful
surrender
of
the
federal
and
state
government
and
all
governments
other
than
American
India.
In
this
land
we
intend
to
issue
martial
law.
L
L
L
I've
only
been
in
your
town
for
five
days
to
one
day.
I
don't
see
time
I
had
the
legal
right
and
obligation
to
kill
over
100
people
in
your
town,
I've
been
threatened
to
be
murdered.
I've
been
spit
on
I've,
been
humiliated,
Beyond
humiliated
on
my
own
home
I
sleep
on
the
ground.
This
is
my
sleeping
bag.
In
my
mining,
outfit
I
have
gold
nuggets
this
big
I'm,
finding
dinosaur
fossils
being
sold
in
this
town.
They
are
stolen,
so
I
want
you
to
know
that
we're
bringing
weapons
to
this
town,
Indian
style.
L
L
L
B
B
N
Hi,
my
name
is
Pam
Louden,
slager
and
I
have
lived
here
for
40
years
and
I
feel
passionate
about
the
L
Street,
linear
Park
and
it's
kind
of
a
no-brainer
I
mean
in
2010.
It
was
a
good
idea
right
and
we
have
the
path
now
and
I'm
out
there.
Almost
every
day
and
I
see
other
people
using
it
and
enjoying
it
and
I
just
say:
why
are
we
throwing
the
baby
out
with
the
bath
water?
N
O
Hello
to
counsel
and
staff,
James
Becker
and
I
just
wanted
to
call
attention
to
the
great
Redwood,
Trail
and
Ukiah
linear
park,
because
there's
a
lot
of
parallels
between
what
we're
experiencing
here,
it
is
considered
call
it
rails
to
rail
trail,
but
I
mean
in
essence
either
rails,
Trail,
rails
of
Trail
and
in
2020
they
actually
designated
as
a
linear
Park
similar
path
forward.
O
You
know
Pathways
as
far
as
community
members,
you
know
being
involved,
encouraging
it
and
and
also
part
of
the
Great
Redwood
Trail
a
destination
in
this
case
from
both
Sonoma
County
and
also
from
also
from
Humboldt
County
yeah,
no
worries,
I'm,
okay,
but
it's
yeah
I,
know
I'm,
I'm,
fine,
but
yeah
for
sure
yeah.
So
I
appreciate
the
pause
of
the
clock.
Thank
you,
yeah
and
let
me
just
jump
back
through
here.
A
minute
yeah
meet
community
members
have
been
working.
O
You
know
as
volunteers
over
five
years
to
enhance
the
corridor.
They
got
a
lot
of
input
before
and
there's
the
big
parallel
is
that
was
actually
voted
on
through
Council.
So
there's
a
lot
of
similarities,
you
know
other
than
I
think
there
was
some
other.
Probably
other
plans
for
it,
it
was
a
quarter.
The
road
wasn't
considered,
but
beyond
that
I
mean
I.
Think
there's
a
lot
of
people
out
there,
it's
something
they
want
and
I
think
it
was
the
same
thing
there.
O
M
Good
evening
my
name's
Joanna,
Gary
and
I
come
here
all
the
time,
I'm
bringing
an
ancient
sign
that
I
created
right
around
the
time
that
we
all
became
aware
of
Greta
twinberg's
movement
to
call
attention
to
the
climate
reality
and
the
climate
crisis.
So
our
house
is
on
fire
and
I.
M
Don't
necessarily
want
you
to
panic,
but
I
want
you
to
understand
that
we
have
been
dealing
with
the
reality
of
the
climate
changing
dramatically
for
many
many
years
decades,
but
right
now
it's
really
hitting
the
fence
in
terms
of
what
is
happening
and
our
town
needs
to
needs
to
be
in
the
Forefront
of
the
movement.
I
oftentimes
tell
people
I
was
a
park
ranger
at
Muir
Woods
in
the
old
growth
forest
down
there
in
Marin,
but
I've
learned
having
spent
time
there
that
everything
you
need
to
learn
and
about
surviving
on
the
planet.
M
You
can
learn
in
an
old
growth,
Redwood
forest,
so
I
think
that
we
all
as
Citizens
and
residents
of
this
beautiful
Redwood
country,
need
to
learn
that
lesson
and
how
we
can
survive
and
I
need
to
see
some
solid
action
right
now.
The
UN
Secretary
General
Anton
Gutierrez,
just
said
we're
out
of
the
era
of
global
warming,
we're
in
the
era
of
global
boiling
and
that
might
sound
extreme.
But
it's
really
not
think
of
the
frog
in
the
pot,
and
we
got
to
do
something.
M
P
P
For
the
past
six
years,
I
have
been
a
street
vendor
here
in
the
city
of
Arcata.
I
was
not
present
at
that
time.
I
was
working
at
a
not
at
a
farmer's
market
in
Crescent
City,
because
our
local
farmers
market
doesn't
accept
vendors
I
choose
to
drive
almost
two
hours
on
a
Saturday
morning
in
order
to
show
my
art,
legally
I
have
tried
for
the
past
six
years
to
become
a
vendor
at
my
local
farmers
market
on
Saturdays,
but
have
had
no
luck.
P
P
B
Okay,
so
please
feel
free
to
send
us
those
thoughts
via
email.
I
know
it
looks
like
you,
you
wrote
out
a
lot,
so
if
you
want
to
send
that
to
us
via
email,
all
council
members,
our
email
are
on
the
city
website.
Also
this
isn't
going
to
be
too
heavy
of
meeting.
So
there
will
be
another
comment
period
at
the
end
of
the
meeting,
where
you'll
get
three
whole
minutes
to
talk
on
an.
B
Well,
so
if
you
want
to
hang
out
and
get
to
that
point
too,
I
I,
don't
think
our
business
items
are
going
to
take
a
ton
of
time
like
sometimes
they
do
okay.
So
there
will
be
a
three
minute
period.
P
At
the
end
as
well,
yeah
I
was
skipping
ahead
and
then
it
just
wasn't
making
sense
to
do
that.
P
So
my
main
question
right
now
like
moving
forward,
is,
is
it
still
illegal
to
be
a
street
or
is
it
still
legal
to
be
a
street
vendor
before
the
police
were
requesting
paperwork
called
Peddler's
permits?
Then,
when
I
went
to
the
City
Hall,
they
said
didn't
exist,
so
all.
B
Right
well,
we'll
have
our
city
manager
or
our
Environmental
Services
director
touch
base
with
you
out
again
yeah
it's
hard
to
like
do
this
back
and.
B
Mean
so
we'll
have
her
touch
base
with
you
about
that
protocol,
because
we
did
adopt
kind
of
an
outline
for
this
probably
about
like
six
months
ago,
I
would
say
so:
yeah
Emily
sinkhorn
right
here,
she's
your
go-to!
Thank
you,
okay,
thank
you.
All
right
did
we
check
with
zoom.
Do
we
have
anybody
on
Zoom,
okay,.
B
Q
All
right
I
seem
to
have
lost
the
the
picture
here.
B
Q
Can
hear
you
so
just
go
ahead
with
your
comment?
Thank
you.
Okay,
I
would
like
to
just
to
mention
like
they
were
talking
about.
Switching
everything
over
to
electricity
and
I
know.
That's
that
sounds
good,
but
also
electricity.
The
price
of
electricity
is,
is
very,
has
been
going
up
and
and
and
still
is
kind
of
high
for
most
people
on
low
income
to
afford
electricity,
the
heat,
because
electric
heat
is
very
expensive
and
and
uses
up.
Q
You
know
a
lot
of
electricity
to
create
Heat,
so
I'm
just
wondering
you
know
it
would
be
great
if,
if
we
could
find
some
ways
of
lowering
the
cost
of
electricity
and
then
and
then
we
could
go
over
to
electricity
completely
I'm
fully
in
favor
of
electric
power,
but
that's
just
my
concern
is
that
it
would
lose
the
option
of
of
cheap
gas
because
for
heating,
that
is
because
gas
is
cheap
for
heating.
Q
As
far
as
I
understand
also
I
would
like
to
bring
up
the
problem
of
of
like,
like
the
homeless
populations
and
and
what
are
we
going
to
do
about
that
because
I
think
that
it
it's
it's
becoming.
You
know
abrasive
a
bit
of
a
problem.
Sometimes
that's
all
I
have
to
say
I
I
hope,
I
didn't
use
my
my
whole
two
minutes
up
yet.
Okay.
B
Thank
you
Darius.
We
appreciate
it
all
right,
we'll
take
our
last
in-person
comment
here
this
evening
and
then
we
will
move
on
from
early
oral
Communications.
R
Hi,
my
name
is
Peggy
Martinez
I'm,
an
Arcata
resident
and
first
thank
you
all
for
your
work.
I
know
that
it's
not
always
easy
I
want
to
say
that
I
am
thrilled
to
hear
that
we
might
be
getting
a
new
bus
line,
so
thanks
to
everyone,
who's
advocated
and
studies
and
whatnot
done
everything
to
make
that
happen.
R
I
want
to
also
talk
briefly
about
K
Street
and
the
the
heavy
traffic
load
that
is
now
on
K
Street
and
while
I
would
like
a
linear,
Park.
Well
I.
Just
think
linear
parks
are
great
anywhere
I.
R
Think
in
this
in
this
case,
because
we
don't
really
have
a
good
option
for
the
traffic
load
and
the
idea
of
the
the
sidewalk
width
and
the
parking
need
that
the
residents
on
K
Street
might
have
and
the
children
that
live
on
K
Street
and
go
to
school
on
K
Street
to
have
a
very,
very
impacted
Street
and
have
the
street
to
the
to
the
west
of
it.
L
Street
have
no
impact.
R
I
think
is,
is
inequitable
I
think
it
is.
It
is
not
a
good
long-term
plan.
If
we
were
to,
you
know,
keep
L
Street
as
a
linear,
Park
and
again
I
am
really
you
know,
sort
of
sad
to
to
be
asserting.
This
I
just
think
that
having
all
the
traffic
load,
Beyond
K
Street
is
not
a
good
long-term
solution
for
our
Community
needs.
Thank
you.
R
B
You
Peggy
all
right
that
takes
us
to
the
end
of
early
oral
Communications.
Thank
you.
Everybody
for
your
comments.
Our
next
item
item
number
eight
this
evening
is
the
consent
calendar
all
matters
on
the
consent.
Calendar
are
considered
to
be
routine
by
the
city
council
and
are
enacted
in
one
motion.
There's
no
separate
discussion
of
any
of
these
items
and
if
discussion
is
required,
that
item
can
be
removed
from
the
consent,
calendar
and
considered
separately.
B
B
Seventy
five
thousand
five
hundred
fifty
six
dollars
and
two
cents,
including
tax
and
freight,
and
award
the
purchase
contract
to
Peterson
cat
and
approve
the
purchase
of
one
laylee
broadcast
spreader
5647.18,
including
tax
and
freight,
and
award
the
purchase
contract
to
Turf
star
western
and
authorize
the
city
manager
to
execute
all
applicable
documents
and
item
F
establish
an
ad
hoc
Revenue
advisory
committee.
Are
there
any
members
of
council
or
staff
that
would
like
to
pull
an
item
from
consent,
I'd.
G
Like
to
pull
item
A
and
E,
but
I
had
a
quick
question
before
I
moved
to
that
I
just
wanted
to
address
the
woman
who
was
asking
about
the
art
markets
and
I'm
sure
that
Emily
has
already
mentioned
it.
But
just
in
case
we
do
have
a
Sunday
Art
Market
that
just
started
it's
an
art
and
music
market.
So
something
to
think
of
yeah.
Okay,.
B
B
Just
F
and
a
then
all
right
so
do
we
have
a
motion
for
items
B
through
D
or
E
B
through
e
Alex.
H
B
I'll
second,
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
for
items
b,
c
d
and
e:
all
in
favor,
aye,
aye,
aye,
okay
motion
carries
unanimously
on
that
and
I'll
defer
to
you
here:
Kimberly
for
item
a
for
them
or.
G
Sorry,
council,
member
white
I
just
wanted
to
see
if
we
could
add
to
the
minutes
on
it.
I
wanted
to
add
that
I
had
mentioned
something
about
the
open
house
and
I
was
just
hoping.
We
could
reflect
what
I
had
said
about
the
open
house.
G
On
they
approve
the
minutes
for
City
Council
on
the
when
we
were
here.
Let
me
just
pull
it
up
here.
I,
have
it.
G
Apologize
I
had
it
right
in
front
of
me,
so
I
had
referenced
the
open
house
held
during
the
pandemic
and
suggested
that
now
that
we
are
no
longer
in
the
height
of
the
pandemic
that
we
might
have
another
and
I
just
wanted
to
see.
If
we
could
include
that
language
into
the
minutes,.
G
So
it
would
be
the
second
to
the
last
sentence.
It
says:
council,
member
white,
wanted
to
talk
more
about
inclusionary
zoning
at
the
study
sessions
and
then
you
would
add
there
that
I
had
referenced
the
open
household
during
the
pandemic
and
suggested
that
this
might
be
a
that.
The
community
was
right
to
have
another
one.
Now
that
we're
no
longer
in
the
height
of
the
pandemic,
in
whatever
language
that
I
use
there.
F
B
B
B
All
right,
so
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
is
there.
Any
public
comment
on
on
this
all
right
motion,
a
second
all
in
favor
to
approve
the
minutes
as
amended
aye
aye
aye
okay
motion
carries
unanimously,
and
then
that
takes
us
to
oh
I
got
too
many
minutes
in
agendas
in
front
of
me.
Item
F
so
establish
an
ad
hoc
Revenue
advisory
committee.
C
So
this
is
really
interesting.
So
basically,
we
asked
the
tot
committee
to
research
and
they
declined,
even
though
it
was
sort
of
in
their
purview
based
on
the
municipal
code,
and
that's
fine
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
just
wanted.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
there
were
enough
people
like
excited
and
willing
to
have
a
subcommittee,
because
this
is
a
pretty
important
there's.
A
lot
of
programs
that
are
gonna
be
not
funded.
If
we
can't
figure
out
like.
S
So
I
know
that
at
least
three
of
the
members
of
the
the
two
talk
were
very
interested
in
pursuing
this
and
and
willing
to
put
in
the
extra
time
and
felt
like
it
was
something
that
they
could
stand
behind.
I
know,
we've
had
one
or
two
community
members
reach
out
and
I
would
encourage.
If
you
know
of
anybody
or
can
get
anybody
interested
in
in
volunteering
for
this
committee
it
you
know
it
is
a.
S
It
is
a
big
task
and
it
is
going
to
be
a
deep
dive
into
looking
at
the
all
of
the
tax
options
trying
to
come
up
with
the
best,
either
single
or
multiple
Solutions,
and
recommending
what
to
bring
back
to
the
voters,
who
will
ultimately
decide
whether
or
not
there
is
a
tax
increase.
So
you
know
please
pass
on
names,
I'm
more
than
willing
to
reach
out.
S
If
you've
got
somebody
that
you
think
might
be
interested
and
we
will
probably
the
idea
is
that
will
bring
back
a
slate
of
folks
that
you
can
that
you
all
can
appoint
to
the
committee,
but
it
is
going
to
be
probably
I
would
say
at
least
every
couple
weeks.
We
would
this
committee
would
committee
would
have
to
meet
probably
over
the
next
six
months
and
whether
or
not
they're
interested
or
not,
maybe
even
be
involved
in
some
education
and
Outreach
after
that,
on
their
own
too.
So.
C
Yeah,
so
would
there
be
like
some
kind
of
application
process
and
then
we
appoint
them
like
we
appoint
any
other
committee
or
any
kind
of
you
know
it's
the
word
vetting
thank
you
for
when
we
put
people
on
the
committee.
S
S
I'm
recommending
no
more
than
seven
because
anytime,
you
get
more
than
seven,
it
just
becomes
very
difficult
to
schedule
meetings
around
other
people's
schedules,
so
we're
looking
at
seven.
That
also
gives
us
an
odd
number.
So
a
quorum
would
be
four.
We've
got
a
majority,
it
makes
things
simple.
C
E
No
we're
suggesting
an
ad
hoc
committee,
so
it'll,
be
you
know,
temporary
and
just
to
this
particular
topic,
so
it
is.
It
has
a
much
more
flexible
platform
than
like
a
special
task
force
or
regular
committee.
So
you
would
recommend
you
know,
send
anybody.
You
know
my
way
or
Tabitha's
way.
C
G
E
G
C
B
Second,
okay:
we
have
a
motion.
A
second
is
there
any
public
comment
on
item
f,
uck
going
once
going
twice
all
right,
then
we
have
a
motion,
a
second
all
in
favor
aye,
aye,
aye,
okay,
four
yeses,
okay,
that
moves
us
on
now
to
our
new
business.
Thank
you,
consent
calendar.
B
So
our
first
item
under
new
business
is
to
appoint
a
new
planning,
commissioner,
for
a
term
expiring,
March
31st
2027.
We
had
our
interviews
just
before
this
meeting
with
two
very
qualified
candidates
that
makes
our
job
hard.
I
was
saying:
why
don't
we
just
increase
the
number
of
planning
Commissioners
that
we
have
that's
right?
B
No,
so
we
can
kind
of
open
any
discussion
if
anybody
wants
to
talk
about
their
thoughts
and
feelings
or
I
can
open
up
that
discussion
as
well
again,
I
really
thought
both
candidates
were
super
highly
qualified
I
know.
It's
always
awkward
to
talk
about
you
guys,
while
we're
in
the
room.
B
H
Way
that
I'm,
leaning
well
I
I
can
just
say
that
I
know.
I
have
been
completely
lobbied
for
an
additional
woman
on
that
committee
and
even
though
we've
come
up
with
some
men
in
the
past
and
have
pointed
them,
there's
Commissioners
that
would
like
to
have
more
of
a
balance.
Even
though
we
have
a
council,
that's
all
female,
they
still
feel
like
they
would
know
they
don't
want
to
have
an
all-male
or
just
one
female
on
the
Planning
Commission.
They
think
it
should
be
more
diverse,
so
I
know
you
know
anyway.
H
C
I
really
appreciate
both
of
your
applications
and
the
willingness
to
serve.
This
is
a
really
big
commitment.
I
really
appreciate
boy.
It's
that
I'm
really
appreciated
Abigail's
background
and
planning
and
ministerial
things,
and
on
the
coastal
commission.
I
also
liked
her
answer
about
looking
when
you're
looking
at
a
and
synthesizing
information
to
check
in
with
public
comment
to
see
that
what's
interest
interests,
stakeholders
I
thought.
That
was
a
really
a
great
point
to
make.
C
G
So
I
wanted
to
address
before
I
talk
about
the
two
I
I've
really
been
hearing
from
the
constituents
that
interviewing
for
the
Commission
in
the
Committees
in
public
has
kept
a
lot
of
folks
from
moving
forward
and
rather
than
in
the
conference
room,
which
is
what
we've
been
doing
in
the
past
and
I
think
it
changed
when
we
hit
the
pandemic,
and
so
folks
have
been
wondering,
will
we
return
to
the
pre-pandemic
practices?
I
know
I
I
do
realize
it
is
more
transparent
but
I'm
wondering
if
it
might
be
a
barrier.
G
B
I'll
just
interrupt
you,
but
I
just
think
that
the
reason
that
we
do
that
now
is
because
that's
the
only
way
we
have
hybrid
capability
right
and
so
because
we're
doing
hybrid
meetings
ever
yeah
since
the
pandemic.
The
only
way
to
have
those
you
know
hybrid
options
because
we've
in
the
past
I
guess
now
we
have
more
and
more
people
coming
in
person,
but
a
lot
of
our
applicants
were
zooming
in
for
their
interviews
and
so
I
think.
B
G
But
since
everybody's
weighing
in
I'll,
wait
before
I
talk
about
the
individual
candidates
and
let
Alex
weigh
in
here
because
it
looks
like
she
wants
to.
H
Say
something:
oh
I
just
feel
the
same.
I
thought
it
was
good
when
we
had
an
opportunity
to
be
in
in
the
conference
room
to
talk
about
the
candidates
and
it's
you
know,
but
that
was
something
that
happened
for
a
long
time,
and
so
since
I've
been
back
on
the
council,
it's
all
been
in
public
and
I.
Thank
everyone
for
actually
enduring
that
and
making
that
something
that
they
can
withstand.
G
Yeah,
so
I
I
would
like
to
say
that
I
wish
we
could
do
both
of
you.
It's
really
tough
I,
really
appreciated
that
you
came
to
the
table
and
brought
your
tribal
experience
and
and
as
a
planner,
both
of
you
bring
that
to
the
table.
G
I,
I,
guess
the
fact
that
Abigail
has
lived
here
for
five
years
really
rang
for
me
because
she
walks
where
I
walk
and
she
knows
the
place
she
lives
across
the
street.
She
has
experience
on
the
local,
Coastal
commission
and
that's
something
extra
that
I
think
would
be
really
useful
on
the
Planning
Commission.
G
It's
tough,
I
I
would
love
to
see
you
both
on
there,
because
you
both
bring
your
individual
expertise
and
they,
you
know,
overlapped
a
little
bit,
but
there
was
so
much
that
you
each
brought
to
the
table
that
the
other
didn't
have
so
have
I,
I,
guess
we're
gonna.
Are
we
gonna
Talk
Amongst
ourselves
or
what
does
that
look
like?
Well.
B
I
mean
I
think
we
all
kind
of
shared
which
way
that
we're
leaning
so
I
think
we
could
have
a
motion.
If
somebody
wants.
B
Motion
and
then
we
can
discuss
with
our
vote
all.
C
B
T
Good
evening,
Gregory
deleggett
I
think
this
time
around
you're
you're
doing
a
better
job
at
as
far
as
the
interview
process,
because
what
I
heard
last
time
around
when
we
had
our
three
candidates
that
the
comment
was
made
at
the
very
end
of
the
night
about
the
person's
age
and
that
we
had
a
lot
of
older
folks
on
the
commission.
T
You
know
and
had
that
been
a
really
an
interview
process
where
it
was
a
paying
job
you
that
was
that
could
have
been
a
possible
lawsuit
right
there.
So,
in
this
case
you
know
you
have
somebody
that
basically
did
a
lot
for
the
city
on
the
standpoint
of
volunteering
and
being
in
a
lot
of
different
organizations
and
I
heard
that
he
was.
He
was
quite
hurt
about
at
the
end
of
the
night.
So
don't
know
whether
you're
aware
of
that
and
I
actually
followed
this
up,
because
you
know
it
is.
T
It
is
mentioned
Often
by
comments
by
people
and
and
I
have
a
lot
of
folks
that
I
know
in
interviewing
process
at
the
University
in
California
and
it's
the
same
thing
happens
there,
but
in
their
case
they're
it's
the
unspoken
word
that
they
never.
They
never
mentioned
that,
but
they
definitely
use
it
in
their
hiring
process
that
anybody
that's
a
certain
age,
a
10-year
position
at
the
universities
they're
not
going
to
hire
them.
So
it
is
something
that
is
age.
T
Discrimination
is
is
out
there
and
it's
definitely
happening
and
even
in
places
where
we
think
at
the
University.
That
would
never
happen
it's.
You
know
these
people
have
been
tenure
for
a
while
and
they
were
pretty
sincere
by
telling
me
that
you
know
that
it's
happening
so
I
think
you
know
you
got
to
be
pretty
sensitive
when
you're
I
mean
you
need
to.
T
U
Hi
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
what
awesome
candidates
that
we
have
for
the
commission,
I
mean
both
of
them
are
really
active
in
the
planning,
Community
locally
and
I.
Think
that,
whatever
decision
that
you
guys
make
is
going
to
be
a
good
decision,
so
I
want
to
give
them
both
Kudos
and
then
I
also
want
to
make
a
comment.
Just
on
some
of
the
comments
that
were
made
about
the
interview
process,
I
entirely
disagree
with
you
that
they
should
be
in
the
chambers.
U
I
think
that
in
preparing
a
planning,
commissioner
for
The
Duality
and
some
of
the
conflicts
that
they'll
have
to
engage
with
the
public,
doing
their
interviews
in
a
public
forum
is
going
to
prepare
them
to
serve
your
commission
better
and
so
I
professionally
disagree
with
you.
But
but
that's
okay
and
you
guys
have
a
tough
decision
ahead
of
you.
So
thank
you.
M
I
actually
missed
a
interview
process,
I
didn't
like
notice
it,
and
this
leads
me
to
kind
of
question
how
we
do
things
here
in
the
city
when
it
comes
to
interviewing
candidates
for
a
committee
and
or
reading,
and
presenting
proclamations
and
ceremonial
matters
that
comes
into
a
regular
meeting.
And
yet
a
special
meeting
is
held
earlier
than
regular
meeting
to
interview
candidates
for
a
committee
and
I
think.
M
Maybe
we
need
to
really
look
at
the
system
and
how
we
do
it,
and
the
second
thing
I
would
like
to
put
in
there
is
that
apparently
there's
two
qualified
candidates.
Oh
first
of
all,
I
want
to
agree
with
Gregory
that
last
three-person
interview
process
was
very
very
disappointing
to
me
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
including
the
ones
that
Gregory
mentioned.
M
But
why
is
the
planning
committee
bigger
than
the
city
council
in
terms
of
numbers,
because
it's
really
awkward
sometimes
to
have
to
have
these
side
tables
and
stuff,
but
if
we
have
to
have
more
people
than
that
seats
on
the
diocese?
Why
not
two
candidates?
What's
in
the
bylaws
or
whatever,
to
prevent
you
appointing
both
people
to
be
on
the
on
the
Planning
Commission.
B
Well
then,
we
had
a
I
hope,
Bridget
had
it
written
now
we
had
a
motion
and
a
second
to
appoint
Abigail
Strickland
for
a
term
expiring,
March,
31st,
2027.,
all
right,
all
in
favor
of
that
aye
all
right
motion
carries
unanimously.
Thank
you,
Ethan.
So
much
for
your
participation
and
honestly,
we've
had
kind
of
a
high
turnover
on
the
Planning
Commission
lately
so
I'm
sure
there
will
probably
be
another
spot
opening
up.
B
Who
knows
hopefully,
not
though,
but
we
also
have
a
lot
of
other
wonderful
committees
to
be
involved
in
so
congratulations,
Abigail
and
thank
you
for
both
hanging
out
and
being
here.
So
we
appreciate
it
looking
forward
to
see
you
on.
B
Right
and
so
that
takes
us
to
our
next
business
item
this
evening,
under
new
business
or
yes,
under
new
business,
Item
B,
which
is
to
approve
modifications
to
the
design
for
the
2023
Arcata
annual
Paving
project
and
authorize
the
city
engineer
to
make
those
edits.
So
can
we
have
a
staff
report
from
city
engineer
at
netra,
katri.
V
Good
evening
mayor
vice
mayor
council
members
and
the
member
of
the
public,
the
item
in
front
of
you
is
follow-up
from
the
June
21st
meeting,
where
we
had
a
bid
award
for
annual
Paving
project
and
during
the
award
process.
They
were
public
comments
to
receive
that
a
block
of
Ed
Street
between
17th
and
18th
Street
does
not
include
a
bike
lane,
so
we
should
be
modifying
that.
V
So
after
the
meeting
we
had
a
quick
meeting
at
our
transportation,
Safety
Committee,
where
we
presented
an
alternative
to
that
which
I'll
be
showing
you
here,
but
before
even
I
go
there
I
will
just
say
and
our
original
plan
the
way
it
is
presented
is
was
to
have.
There
is
an
existing
seven
and
a
half
sidewalk
here,
eight
foot
parking,
Lane,
10
foot,
travel
in
10,
foot,
travel,
Lane,
eight
foot
parking
and
five
foot
sidewalk.
V
So
there
was
not
a
room
for
at
a
bike
lane,
so
we
had
proposed
to
do
a
shadow
based
on
the
public
comments,
and
that
was
most
of
the
comments
were
correct
because
we
have
a
bike
lane
on
the
next
block
and
the
previous
block.
So
it
makes
sense
to
put
a
bike
lane.
However,
there
was
not
enough
room
to
do
that,
so
we
didn't
put
that.
So
what
we
did
is
we
created
an
alternative
here
and
this
was
presented
at
the
TSC.
V
They
recommended
this
option
to
move
forward
with,
since
we
did
not
receive
a
lot
of
public
comment
at
the
TSC
we
tried
to
reach
out
to
the
residents
in
the
block
of
Ed
Street.
We
knocked
the
doors.
We
are
not
able
to
get
comments
from
every
single
person,
but
most
of
the
people
who
provided
comments.
They
were
positive.
They
were
excited
about
the
pipeline,
not
a
lot
of
negative
comments
too,
regarding
the
removing
parking.
B
C
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
doing
that
and
thank
the
transportation
Safety
Committee
I
just
want
to
say
that
we
didn't
well
at
least
I,
didn't
vote
for
the
complete
streets,
ordinance
to
check
a
box,
I
really
believe
in
it.
It
was
actually
the
foundation
of
my
campaign,
so
I
was
really
appreciated.
C
Doing
those
Road
audits
with
Dan
Burton,
because
I
think
it
really
validated
how
I
feel
I
know
that
some
of
these
decisions
that
we're
going
to
make
moving
forward
are
going
to
be
difficult
and
a
little
painful,
but
I'm
really
going
to
be
committed.
Moving
forward
to
holding
us
accountable
when
we
do
redo
these
roads.
I
know
that
right
now
we're
working
on
our
Isaacson
sustainability
project.
C
You
know
some
of
the
other
things
that
I
would
like
to
explore
as
far
as
complete
streets
and
go
are
again
looking
at
H
and
G
streets
and
seeing
Road
diets,
which
was
something
that
was
a
huge
takeaway
for
me
from
Dan
Burton
and
maybe
even
narrowing
those
to
one
lane,
I'd
like
to
look
at
making
speed
limits
20
miles
an
hour
I'd
like
to
do
another
walking
audit
in
Valley,
West
I'd
like
to
do
a
have
the
transportation,
Safety
Committee
or
maybe
a
ad
hoc
committee,
do
a
parking
audit
around
the
Gateway
area
plan
and
I'd
also
like
to
look
at,
and
these
are
all
from
the
The
Walking
audit,
which
I
thought
was
amazing.
C
So
thank
you.
I'd
look
to
like
to
look
at
elimidate
at
least
four
to
six
parking
spots
on
the
Plaza
and
turning
them
into
bike
parking.
So
thank
you
again.
If
you
don't
mind,
if
you'll
indulge
me,
I'd
like
to
read
Stacy
gave
me
a
comment
because
she's
not
here
so
I'm,
going
to
read
what
she
said
too.
So
we
can
get
her
input.
I
hope!
That's
okay!
C
Stacy
says
we
have
adopted
a
complete
streets
policy,
and
this
Paving
project
gives
us
perfect
opportunity
to
follow
through
with
our
commitment,
my
suggestion
is
to
remove
the
parking
on
each
Street
between
17th
and
18th
streets
in
order
to
accommodate
the
Bike
Line.
The
open
door
clinic
will
be
relocating
soon
and
because
of
this
I
believe
the
impacts
to
parking
will
be
minimal.
If
we
are
to
move
in
the
direction
of
making
our
town
more
safely
accessible
to
all
modes
of
transportation,
then
some
sacrifices
will
have
to
be
made.
C
B
Thank
you,
yeah
go
ahead,
Kimberly
I
know
you
had
something
you.
G
Want
to
die,
no
I
just
wanted
to
concur
with
Meredith,
in
that
it
felt
kind
of
redundant
that
we
would
have
a
a
special
vote
for
something
that
was
already
a
gimme.
It
was
already
in
the
complete
streets
and
we
got
a
lot
of
feedback
from
the
community
and
so
I.
Concur.
I
also
appreciate
that
you
brought
up
Valley
West
I.
Just
did
a
ollie
presentation
and
talked
about
some
of
the
pedestrian
bicycle
challenges
out
there
and
I
would
love
to
see
another
walk
audit
out
there.
G
We
had
one
I'm
gonna,
tell
you
what
I,
probably
gonna,
misspeak
I
was
trying
to
pull
up
my
PowerPoint
with
the
dates
that
the
last
one
was
done
and
I'm
not
finding
it
readily,
but
I
think
it's
time
to
do
another
one.
We
have
lots
and
lots
of
new
residents
out
there
biking
and
new
pedestrians,
and
so
yep
thanks.
That's.
C
It
and
one
more
thing
also
as
long
as
we're
talking
about
this
I
do
I
know
school
is
starting
soon,
so
I
would
like
to
look
again
at
Ross
and
Grant.
Again,
my
children
have
gone
to
school.
There
I
talked
with
the
Public
Safety
Committee.
That
is
a
real
concern,
so
I'd
like
to
look
at
what
we
can
do
to
mitigate
that,
even
if
it's
just
lowering
the
speed
limit,
I,
don't
know
but
I'd
like
to
see
some
Solutions
on
that.
H
So
Dan
Burton
was
talking
a
lot
about
K,
Street
and
I
know
we're
going
to
have
slowing
down
for
the
school
for
Montessori
School
we're
going
to
be
having
a
15
mile
an
hour
area
there,
but
I
do
think
his
ideas
for
some
of
his
ideas
that
he
had
for
case
street
is
something
that
we
should
look
at
and
at
this
time,
except
for
the
area
up
in
on
18th
Street
in
that
area,
where
we
just
an
an
h
and
went
back
up
there,
I
looked
at
it,
I
can
see
where
it
just
was
missing
and
I'm
glad
that
you
took
that
right
back
and
got
that
fix
right
away.
H
H
All
well,
you
know,
I,
don't
know
what
we're
going
to
do
about
every
street
in
town,
but
K
Street
is
really
it.
The
K
Street
is
one
of
our
major
streets.
We
get
funding
from
the
federal
government
in
order
to
take
care
of
that
it
falls
it's
an
what
is
it
an
F,
Street
or
I've
forgotten?
What
the
camera.
H
Certain
amount
of
funding
that
comes
in
when
it's
been
repaired
and
taken
care
of
we've
had
a
sign
that
measure
G
and
the
federal
government
has
all
put
money
in
to
prepare
and
redo
the
surfacing
of
the
street,
but
I
think
K.
Street
is
very
problematic
and
it's
something
we
should
definitely
start
to
deal
with.
Roundabouts.
B
Well,
Dan
burden
would
have
liked
that
I
I
will
add.
It's
just
very
apt
that
you
know
this
is
coming
before
us.
We
have
our
Council
study
sessions
coming
up
and
that
kind
of
coinciding
with
Dan
burden
being
in
town.
B
Even
you
know,
for
this
design
here,
hcog
who
brought
Dan
burden
here,
also
sent
us
a
letter
very
late
before
our
meeting,
but
they
they
got
it
in
just
again,
you
know
showing
their
support
for
us
following
this
complete
streets
policy,
removing
parking
and
so
I
I
think
you
know
it's
really
sparked
and
it
sounds
like
all
of
us.
A
lot
of
us,
but
I
mean
just
especially
when
I'm
now
walking
around
town
driving
around
town.
B
Looking
at
this
and
just
thinking
about
how
can
we
create
things
that
are
not
car
Centric
and
do
not,
you
know
promote
necessarily
that,
like
we
are
we're
doing
this
Improvement
because
of
cars
and
to
kind
of
reframe
our
thinking-
and
you
know
it
might
be
uncomfortable,
sometimes
to
reframe
that
thinking,
but
to
begin
to
think
you
know,
how
can
we
prioritize
multimodal
transportation
and
prioritize?
You
know,
especially
in
that
Corridor,
that
is
the
corridor
that
you
know
takes
students
from
campus
down.
B
You
know
into
town
right
if
they're
riding
a
bike,
that's
how
they're
going
to
go.
Hopefully,
if
they're,
following
the
the
rules
of
the
road,
so
so
again
resounding
support
for
this
it
sounds
you
know:
we've
received
many
emails
of
support
of
going
this
way
and
I
think
you
know
I
I
do
agree.
I
have
two
pages
worth
of
ideas
of
things
that
were
coming
to
my
mind.
You
know
hearing
Dan
burden
speak
and
going
to
some
of
the
Walk
Audits
and
saying
change
this.
B
We
should
do
this
and
so
again,
okay,
one
G
and
h
k,
they're
all
yo
yeah
LK.
Would
we
didn't
talk
about
that?
One
yet
yeah
write
that
one
down
I
see
you
guys,
both
and
so
just
again,
just
so
many
opportunities
to
look
how
we
can
you
know
improve
our
bike:
Lanes
improve
access
for
bikes
and
Peds
and
just
make
people
feel
safer
getting
places.
Because
again,
this
town
is,
if
you
are
able
highly
walkable,
and
so
we
should
encourage
those
that
are
able
to
walk
places
or
bike
places.
H
So
I
just
I
wanted
to
follow
up
with
one
other
thing.
Often
our
markings
on
the
street
get
worn
away
and
that's
a
really
important
component
in
order
to
have
Safe
Streets.
So
that
is
something
I
would
want
to
bring
forward
that
you
sometimes
can't
tell
what.
C
H
C
I
think
they
we
just
repainted
K
Street
a
little
which
I
guess
is
a
not
falling
under
the
complete
streets,
because
it's
just
maintenance.
That's.
A
B
All
right,
so
at
that
point
we
will
invite
public
comment
on
this
item
and
then,
if
we
have
any
final
last
minute
thoughts,
we
can
bring
those
in.
So
is
there
anybody
here
in
person
that
would
like
to
comment?
If
you
would
like
to
comment
on
this
item,
please
head
up
to
the
podium
or
line
up.
T
I
have
something
to
say
about
this,
because
I
live
right
here.
First
of
all,
from
Sunset
all
the
way
downtown,
the
the
sidewalks
are
consistently
the
same
size
except
for
here.
Somebody
made
a
decision
to
widen
them
and
that
pushed
everything
out
in
the
street.
So
that's
why
you're
you've
got
the
Dilemma
you're
in
so
the
really
the
solution
is,
is
to
move
the
curve
back
in
and
make
the
sidewalk
the
same
consistency
all
the
way
downtown.
T
So
then
you
have
a
bike
lane
and
then
you
still
have
parking
and
the
reason
why
you
still
need
parking
is
because
you
have
a
lot
of
students
that
are
out
of
town
right
now
and
there's
apartment
buildings
all
over
the
place
in
this
area.
This
is
like
the
most
intense
parking
area
in
the
whole
city,
and
so
what
you're
seeing
is
when
you
knocked
on
the
doors
there
weren't
any
students
around
to
ask
their
opinion,
but
I,
because
I
live
in
here,
I
see
what's
happening
and
it's
not
just
my
opinion.
T
It's
also
the
trustees
of
the
University
of
the
state
college
system
of
California,
because
when
they
had
Cal
Poly
down
along
image,
they
specifically
said
to
him
with
the
craft
Craftsman
project
you're
only
giving
one
parking
spot
per
forced
for
students
totally
unacceptable,
because
you
have
basically
students
that
are
flying
only
two
ways:
Burbank
and
LAX.
So
they
need
to
drive
to
get
up
here.
They
need
to
drive
to
explore.
These
are
the
trustees
that
are
actually
making
this
point
so
I'm.
T
Basically,
it's
not
affecting
my
parking
spot,
but
I'm
just
saying
they're
going
to
be
highly
impacted
this
and
you
do
have
an
alternative
where
you
can
still
have
a
safe
bicycle
and
you
can
also
have
the
parking
and
you
don't
need
to
eliminate
it,
because
when
you
eliminate
it,
there
I'll
tell
you
what
they're
going
to
do
they're
going
to
be
parked
going
around
down
to
17th
Street
they're,
going
to
turn
and
go
into
the
neighborhoods
there
and
park.
You
know
permanently,
probably
for
a
week
because
they
have
no
place
to
go.
I
mean
they.
T
Basically,
these
apartments
were
built
in
the
60s,
and
you
know
compared
to
these
standards
now
they're
pretty
good
sized
parking
lots.
But
you
know
we
have
a
lot
of
students
that
are
doubling
up
in
those
units
and
they
need
the
street
parking.
So
it's
going
to
impact
them
and
I
mean
you
can
say:
I
mean
I,
don't
like
car
is
myself,
but
the
I
live
in
the
reality
that
they're
going
to
need
cars
and
I'm
surprised
that
this
isn't
getting
the
attention,
because
it's
that's
crazy.
T
On
H
Street,
you
got
there's
no
law,
firm
enforcement
at
all.
Everyone
drives
whatever
they
want
to
do.
We
have
skateboards,
we
have
bicyclists,
they
come
they're
coming
from
the
opposite
direction
down
in
the
in
the
the
bike
lane
I've
even
seen
a
father
teach
his
teenage
kid
to
go
head
on
in
the
bicycle
lane
going
down
the
street
we've
had
cars
in
this
area
that
are
run
into
the
telephone
pole
took
out
all
their
power
in
the
neighborhood.
We've
had
cars
that
flipped
over
in
front
of
my
house.
T
B
Q
Hello
yeah,
I
I
have
I
have
similar
concerns
to
to
this
other
person.
Who
was
just
speaking,
you
know
we
can't
just
keep
cutting
getting
rid
of
parking
I
mean
perhaps
that
solution
of
making
the
sidewalks
smaller
would
be
work.
A
workable
option,
I
also
I
I.
You
know
when
I
try
to
put
my
garbage
out
it.
Sometimes
it's
packed.
Q
You
know
from
all
from
one
end
of
the
street,
to
the
other
and
I
can't
put
my
garbage
out
on
the
street,
which
I
need
to
do
on
on
Sunday
nights
and
so
I
see
parking
is
a
big
problem
in
in
in
this
in
Arcata,
and
we
need
to
address
that
and
I
was
thinking
we
we
need
like.
We
might
need
like
a
parking
lot
area,
just
just
one
place
where
all
the
cars
can
go
and
park,
because
I
mean
parking
is
a
real
big
problem
here.
Q
So
that's
just
my
concern
is
is
like
we
should
try
to
find,
maybe
try
and
find
some.
If
we're
gonna
get
rid
of
parking
one
place,
we
should
add
parking
somewhere
else
because
we're
going
to
have
to
cars
you
have
to
park
somewhere.
You
know-
and
you
know,
I,
don't
think
I,
don't
think
it's
it's
good.
You
know
that
I
can't
put
my
garbage
out
on
Sundays,
sometimes
because
it's
parked,
you
know
back,
you
know
Bumper
to
Bumper
all
the
way
down
the
whole
street.
W
Hello
good
evening
this
is
Colin
Fisk
executive
director
of
crtp,
the
Coalition
for
responsible
Transportation
priorities.
W
I
wanted
to
thank
the
council
for
responding
to
requests
to
fill
in
this
Gap
in
the
bike
lane
as
part
of
the
paving
project.
I.
Also
thank
the
transportation
Safety
Committee
for
recommending
the
bike
lane
be
included
and
staff
for
coming
up
with
the
design,
including
the
bike
lane.
W
It
seems
like
everyone's
pulling
in
the
same
direction
here
now,
and
we,
of
course
strongly
encourage
you
to
approve
the
new
design
with
the
bike
lane
between
17th
and
18th
Street,
which
addresses
a
long-standing
safety
and
Mobility
challenge
for
people
riding
bikes
on
one
of
the
city's
Main
thoroughfares.
W
There's
a
sort
of
underlying
problem
here,
however,
which
several
of
you
alluded
to,
which
is
that
the
bike
lane
should
have
been
included
in
the
paving
project
by
default.
It
shouldn't
have
required
advocacy
or
debate
at
the
three
public
meetings.
You
know
to
get
this
bike
lane
painted
there's
a
reason
that
you
adopted
the
complete
streets
policy
last
year
and
that
policy
calls
for
automatically,
including
complete
facilities
in
all
Street
projects,
including
repaving
and
restriping
and
Rehabilitation
projects,
and
by
complete
facilities.
W
The
policy
specifies
facilities
for
walking
and
biking
in
transit
that
are
safe
and
comfortable
for
people
of
all
ages
and
abilities,
so
think
of
bike,
Lanes
or
crosswalks
that
a
child
could
comfortably
use
or
an
elder
or
a
person
with
Mobility
limitations
or
other
disabilities.
There
are
some
limited
exceptions
to
the
policy,
but
none
of
those
apply
here.
So
the
complete
streets
policy
says,
if
you
repave
or
restripe
the
street,
and
there
are
facilities
missing
for
people
to
walk
or
bike
safely.
You
just
include
them.
In
this
case,
you
would
just
paint
the
bike
lane.
W
The
purpose
is
to
accelerate
the
creation
of
safe
and
welcoming
networks
for
walking
and
biking
throughout
the
City
by
adding
the
facilities
when
it's
cheap
and
easy
to
do
it
when
you're
already
doing
a
project.
Our
experience
with
this
project
done
some
other
projects,
including
the
recent
re-striping
of
K
Street,
and
a
little
concerned
that
the
complete
streets
policy
isn't
being
fully
implemented.
W
So,
in
addition
to
approving
the
bike
lane
in
this
particular
project,
we
ask
that
you
also
reaffirm
the
council's
commitment
to
the
full
implementation
of
the
policy,
as
written
and
I
would
note
that
the
TSC
also
identified
this
as
an
issue
and
added
to
its
vote
in
explicit
affirmation
of
support
for
the
complete
streets
policy.
So
we.
B
Just
ask
that
you
do
the
same.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Colin
all
right
are
there
any
other
Zoom,
okay,
I
do
like
Colin's,
Point
and
I.
Really,
you
know
would
like
to
reaffirm
what
the
tsc's
recommendation
was
as
well
and
that
we,
just
as
we
revisit
this
kind
of
as
revisiting
our
complete
streets
policy,
and
you
know
seeing
how
we
vote
tonight,
knowing
that
you
know
that's
what
we
support.
That's
what
we
want
going
forward
so
I
like
the
idea
of
just.
G
G
We
talked
about
some
of
the
sub-optimal
situations
the
day,
there's
a
very
dangerous
intersection
at
giantoli,
Lane
and
West
End
Road,
which
is
also
you
know
what
part
of
this
repaving
project,
but
it's
full
of
opportunities
of
mishaps
and
it
was
in
2018
a
team
led
by
the
UC
Berkeley
Safe
Transportation
research,
education,
center,
safe
trip
conducted
a
pedestrian
and
bicycle
safety
study
in
Valley
West.
So
it's
been
about
five
years.
G
Observations
done
along
the
frequently
used
paths
in
Valley,
West
indicated
poor
or
missing,
sidewalks
lack
of
signage,
difficult,
marked
and
unmarked,
Crossings,
challenging
roundabouts,
inadequate
Street
lighting
and
other
related
issues,
pedestrian
visibility,
poor
signage
path.
Connectivity
are
key
factors
among
these
problems,
so
yeah
yeah
I
just
think
it
would
be
great
if
we
could
revisit
that
as
we
have
a
lot
more
students,
a
lot
more
residents
out
there-
and
you
know
when
my
daughter
was
getting
ready
to
get
her
license
to
get
on
the
road.
Well
I'm,
going
to
give
you
a
fair
warning.
V
Just
reminded
me
that
there
is
an
option
which
we
did
look
into
the
initially
to
reduce
that
walkway
from
seven
and
a
half
to
five,
which
will
allow
parking
and
bike
lane.
However,
I
would
say
the
reason
it
was
eliminated
initially
was
we
want
to
be
bike
and
pet
friendly
city
right
right
now
we
are
petitioned
from
the
city
we
are
designation
is
bronze.
We
want
to
go
to
Silver,
so
reducing
that
to
lesser
sidewalks,
not
be
a
good
idea.
So.
C
C
B
All
right,
we
have
a
motion,
a
second
any
last
minute
thoughts
to
add
before
we
call
for
a
vote
all
right,
all
in
favor,
aye
all
right
motion
carries
unanimously
and
again,
thank
you
folks
from
crtp
for
bringing
that
to
our
attention
and
also
thank
you
to
our
transportation,
Safety
Committee,
for
bringing
this
recommendation
before
us
we're
taking
the
recommendation
of
our
transportation
Safety
Committee.
B
So
there
we
go
all
right
that
takes
us
now
to
oral
and
written
Communications,
and
so
again
the
city
appreciates
public
input
and
this
time
is
provided
for
people
to
address
the
Council
on
items
not
on
the
agenda.
B
B
Folks,
addressing
the
council
will
be
limited,
limited
to
three
minutes
right
now
and
if
you
are
here
in
person,
please
line
up
at
the
podium.
If
you
are
on
Zoom,
raise
your
little
Zoom
hand
or
if
you're
on
your
phone
press
star
9
now
to
raise
your
hand
again,
you'll
have
three
minutes.
So
please
head
up
to
the
podium
when
you
are
ready
to
comment,
take
it
away.
Joanne.
M
Hi,
my
name
is
Joanna
Gary
and
I
have
to
admit
that
I
was
a
little
unsettled
earlier
when
I
gave
my
earlier
oral
communication,
but
climate
change
is
number
one
always,
but
I
did
send
you
an
email
and
I
did
get
responses
this
week
from
a
couple
of
you.
So
thank
you
but
I
hope
to
continue
the
conversation.
M
M
What's
going
to
happen
now
and
I
said
well,
what's
going
to
happen,
I
was
referred
to
Emily
sinkhorn,
who
was
not
available
because
she
was
her
final
days
before
a
vacation
and
then
nobody
else
had
any
information
for
me
on
what
is
happening
with
dog
parks
and
I
just
need
to
say
that
in
my
walking
around
town
you
know
we
have
a
lot
of
children
in
Arcata,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
dogs
in
Arcata
and
the
recreation
needs
of
people
with
dogs
are
great
there
and
they're
not
being
met
by
our
community
and
not
fast
enough
and
I
want
to
know
what's
happening
with
the
Larson
Park
and
the
Holland
Park
dog
parks
and
the
timeline
on
them.
M
And
why
aren't
we
necessarily
looking
at
some
temporary
options
at
other
places
like
the
D
Street
area
up
near
11th,
because
people
need
to
be
able
to
recreate
with
their
children
and
their
animals
in
their
neighborhoods
and
not
have
to
get
in
a
car
or
walk
or
bike
across
town
to
recreate?
And
so
can
anybody
enlighten
me
please
to
what's
going
on
with
the
dog
parks
in
this
community
and
the
other?
M
Two
issues
I
won't
bring
up
here
at
this
meeting,
but
it
really
is
disappointing
how
shabby
our
downtown
area
is
and
I
haven't
been
up
to
Valley
West
lately,
but
I
know
there's
issues
there
and
it
involves
some
biohazards
and
not
getting
enough
action
quickly
enough
to
deal
with
them
and
then,
of
course,
there's
always
the
issue
of
the
vulnerable,
vulnerable
and
the
in-house
and
how
we're
spending
our
money
in
dealing
with
that
issue.
But
can
somebody
answer
me
on
the
stock
Park
issue?
Please.
M
B
T
A
couple
meetings
ago,
I
brought
up
the
sound
element
which
I
basically
said:
total
failure
from
the
standpoint
of
city,
council,
Planning,
Commission
and
I.
Think
at
that
time,
I
said,
I
was
going
to
go
contact
the
Attorney
General
about
this
and
I
I
did
not
because
I
was
contacted
by
the
city
that
you
know
you're
going
to
have
some
police
officers
being
hired.
T
So
could
you
please
give
us
some
more
time
on
that,
but
I'm
pretty
disappointed
in
the
stamp
another
aspect
of
this,
which
is
the
safety
element,
which
is
basically
a
conversation
we're
talking
about
just
before
this
in
bicycles,
because
we
have
zero
enforcement
going
on
in
this
city
from
a
standpoint
of
cars
just
doing
whatever
they
want
and
bicycles,
even
go
in
the
wrong
direction.
T
Skateboards
go
in
the
wrong
directions
and
it
is
just
out
of
control
that
and
I
it's
just
like
you're
saying:
oh
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
do
this
and
that,
but
it
you
have
to
have
law
enforcement.
If
you
don't
have
law
enforcement-
and
this
is
what
every
major
city
in
the
United
States
knows,
they
they
put
a
camera
intersection.
T
He
was
talking
about
air,
he
was
talking
about
noise
and
an
increase,
and
he
also
said
that
it
wasn't
an
excuse
just
because
we're
having
the
pressure
that
we
have
to
build
and
have
more
houses
that
we're
not
going
to
just
like
turn
our
backs
on
these
other
areas.
So
there
is
total
failure
in
this
city
in
those
areas
and
I've
been
addressing
this
for,
like
a
year
and
a
half
and
I've
been
giving
you
time
to
like
get
your
act
together
and
nothing
has
happened.
T
So
you
kind
of
have
this
attitude
well,
you
know
so
well
yeah.
We
we
put
it
in
writing
and
all
this
you
are
not
on
the
streets.
You're,
not
bicycling,
I
walk
every
night,
I
bicycle
I
see
it
from
one
intersection,
H
and
16th,
because
I'm
working
outside
a
lot
and
it's
not
a
safe
place.
It's
not
a
safe
kid
place
for
a
kid
to
go
across
the
street.
T
It
is
not
safe
at
all,
and
it's
just
I
don't
know
what
the
problem
is
with
the
city,
because
I've
lived
in
I've
lived
in
Santa
Barbara,
Marion,
Sonoma,
County,
I've
lived
in
Orange
I've
lived
in
up
in
the
Sierras
Sacramento
and
it's
like
they
all
take
action.
You
know
it's
like
what
is
wrong
with
this
city
that
they
don't
take
any
action.
They
just
do
nothing
and
I
even
brought
it
up
with
the
officers
about
a
year
ago,
and
it's
like
they
confirmed
to
me
that
there
is
nothing
going
on
from
the
standpoint.
T
X
Good
evening,
I'm
Fred
wise
of
arcade1.com
first
I,
look
forward
to
our
joint
study
session
oops.
Thank
you.
I,
look
forward
to
our
joint
study
session.
August
22nd
is
the
first
of
three
study
sessions
and
I
hope.
The
public
comes
and
watches
this
I'm
going
to
refer
to
the
Community
Development
directors,
video
presentation
that
came
out
on
Friday,
June,
28th,
15
and
a
half
minutes.
X
The
video
and
the
transcription
are
both
on
arcade1.com
I
sent
a
letter
to
you
and
the
Commissioners
on
this
in
referring
to
the
state
mandates,
laws
on
waivers
and
concessions,
there's
a
quote
as
a
conclusion
quote,
and
our
design
standards
and
Community
benefits
programs
are
unlikely
to
be
implemented
due
to
waivers
and
concessions.
X
X
We
also
have
a
situation
that,
from
my
point
of
view,
yet
one
more
time
our
director
either
did
not
think
this
through
or
was
sufficient
in
discussing
this
with
the
public
and
the
commission
either.
Those
conditions
is
not
a
good
situation
to
withhold.
Information,
of
course,
is
a
violation
of
the
brown
Act.
X
My
question
is:
what
are
we
doing
here
and
I
greatly
look
forward
to
the
council's
participation
in
this
process
at
last
week's
Planning
Commission
meeting
the
other
considerations
table
was
discussed.
This
is
a
listing
of
some,
not
all
of
items
that
were
not
in
accordance
with
the
first
draft
of
the
Gateway
area
plan.
A
a
year
ago,
a
representative
from
the
Humboldt
Association
of
Realtors
gave
a
presentation
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
asked
quote:
please
consider
adding
at
least
a
10
requirement
of
owner-occupied
units.
X
The
Gateway
plan
staff's
recommendation
was
the
current
policy
supports
home
ownership.
I
disagree,
I,
don't
think
it
does,
or
does
very
minimally
or
ineffectively
and
I'd
like
to
tell
the
council
how
much
time
was
allotted
to
a
discussion
of
this
matter,
but
I
can't
because
it
wasn't
discussed,
not
one.
Second.
X
The
other
item
that
I've
referred
to
many
times
is
the
request
to
create
a
new
Zone
type
around
the
creamery
District,
not
the
creamery
building,
but
the
whole
District.
This
has
shown
as
coming
from
a
public
member.
The
information
that's
not
on
the
table
indicates
it's
coming
from
me.
As
I've
pointed
out
numerous
times.
This
came
from
the
former
Planning
Commission
chair,
Julia,
said
Alcock,
not
from
me
again.
The
staff
recommends
that
this
be
done
in
a
respectful
manner
in
the
form-based
code.
X
B
Thanks
is
there
anybody
else
here
in
person
that
would
like
to
comment
all
right,
we'll
move
to
online?
Are
there
any
oral
Unwritten
communication
comments
online.
Q
Yeah
hello,
I'd,
like
to
address
the
situation
with
with
a
homeless
I,
see
that
there's
an
increase
in
homeless,
like
all
across
I,
mean
I've,
been
watching.
The
news
and
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
homeless
now,
and
it's
probably
going
only
going
to
increase
unless
we
do
something
about
it.
So
I'd
like
to
know
what
are
we
doing
about
it?
Q
I
mean
I,
I,
don't
want
you
know
there
there's
a
lot
of
them
are
mentally
ill
and
maybe
not
all
of
them,
but
a
lot
of
them
are
and
it's
it's
a
it's
a
risk.
You
know
just
I
I
mean
lately
I,
don't
even
want
to
go
out
outside
very
much
anymore.
Because
of
that
so
you
know
I
mean
we
need
to
be
compassionate.
It's
true
but,
like
you
know,
they're
gonna,
you
know.
If
they
we
give
them
a
house
they're
gonna
trash
it.
Q
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we
can
give
them
a
house
and
it
won't
get
trashed
and
that
they'll
actually
make
something
out
of
their
lines.
But
that
requires
you
know,
infrastructure,
psychologists,
doctors,
you
know
medicine
and
treatment.
You
know
what
are
we?
What
are
we
going
to
do
to
treat
and
and
get
these
homeless
people
not
homeless
anymore?
B
Okay,
thank
you.
Do
we
have
any
other
online
comments?
Okay,
so
that
takes
us
to
the
end
of
oral
Communications
this
evening.
Thank
you
folks
for
your
comments
and
that
will
take
us
now
into
our
Council
and
staff
reports.
B
Y
Grateful
good
evening
bear
vice
mayor
and
council
members
just
wanted
to
start
with
a
little
bit
of
background
in
Our
intention
tonight
is
really
to
share
the
status
of
the
all-electric
initiatives,
specifically
the
ordinance
that
our
energy
committee
chair,
alluded
to,
and
also
just
it's
un
unclear
future
that
City
attorney
Nancy
Diamond
will
touch
on
so
just
for
some
background.
It
has
been
a
goal
of
the
council
to
develop
something
around
building,
decarbonization
and
incentives,
or
requirements
for
fuel
switching
towards
all
electric
uses,
as
far
back
as
at
least
2018-19
fiscal
year.
Y
During
that
time,
the
city
staff
began
to
research,
whether
reach
codes
or
ordinance
mechanisms
could
be
utilized,
and
then,
in
the
2019-2020
fiscal
year,
Council
goals.
The
council
really
codified.
The
all-electric
initiative,
which
laid
out
some
pretty
specific
priorities
for
addressing
greenhouse
gas
emissions
in
the
two
most
emitting
sectors,
buildings
and
transportation,
and
that
really
included
researching
mechanisms
to
require
or
incentivize
new
kind
of
private
development
or
any
new
development
to
really
utilize,
just
all
electric
construction
and
then
also
in
2019.
The
climate
action
planning
really
kicked
off
being
led
by
the
county.
Y
We
got
back
later
to
working
on
this
in
later
of
2020
staff,
provided
an
update
to
the
council
in
December
of
2020
on
potential
options
to
again
start
to
shift
more
development
to
all-electric
construction,
and
then
it
was
really
in
goal
setting
in
2021
in
Spring
that
staff
received
direction
to
really
write
an
ordinance
and
to
go
that
route.
So
really
through
2022
environmental
services
staff
did
a
lot
of
research
with
other
jurisdictions,
researching
cost
Effectiveness
studies
for
this
type
of
work.
Y
We
received
input
from
the
energy
committee
and
then
most
recently,
the
energy
committee
provided
thorough
review
at
its
March
2023
meeting,
and
the
recommendation
was
for
City
staff
to
start
to
conduct
public
Outreach
about
the
ordinance
and
then,
as
our
our
committee
chair,
alluded
to
there's
a
court
decision
on
the
city
of
Berkeley's
existing
and
similar
ordinance,
and
so
now
we
just
really
wanted
our
City
attorney
to
share
just
how
that
decision
could
really
affect.
Where
we
go
from
here.
Z
Thank
you,
Emily
yeah,
good
afternoon
evening.
It's
still
sunny
out,
and
so
yes,
as
has
been
mentioned,
as
you
already
know,
the
ninth
circuit,
a
panel
of
three
judges
from
the
ninth
Circuit
Court
of
Appeals,
has
ruled
that
these
types
of
ordinances
that
ban
any
new
gas
infrastructure
are
preempted
under
federal
law.
The
specific
law
is
the
energy
policy
and
conservation
act.
Z
Nobody
previously
had
ever
read
the
federal
act
to
preempt
this
kind
of
state
or
local
law.
So
this
is
a
brand
new
decision.
It
is
upending
prior
decisions
from
the
ninth
circuit.
Z
Needless
to
say,
there
we
are
stuck
with
it
and
it
has
absolutely
put
on
hold
any
more
of
these
types
of
ordinances.
The
ordinance
that
Arcata
had
drafted
was
modeled
very
closely
on
the
city
of
Berkeley's
ordinance
and
that's
also
been
very
popular
and
in
use
throughout
the
state
and
and
what
it
would
have
done
is
prohibited.
Any
new
gas
infrastructure
being
installed
in
new
buildings
and
that's
what
Berkeley's
did
Berkeley's
ordinance
was
adopted
in
2019.
They
were
sued
in
2020
by
the
California
real
Restaurant
Association,
arguing
that
they
have
members
in
their
Association.
Z
It's
been
well
briefed
not
only
by
the
city
of
Berkeley
but
by
numerous
interested
jurisdictions
on
both
sides
besides,
but
this
has
attracted
national
attention
so
even
prior
to
the
decision
that
was
issued
by
the
ninth
circuit
panel
of
three,
there
was
Amicus
participation
by
the
federal
government
on
behalf
of
the
energy
policy
and
conservation
act,
and
they
took
a
position
very
firmly
saying
that
this
is
an
overreach.
This
is
not
what
the
the
federal
law
does.
Z
The
federal
laws
is
limited
in
scope
and,
and
they
you
know,
explain
the
history
of
how
that
law
is
applied
and
the
Practical
current
use
of
the
federal
law
it
received.
Amica's
participation
by
a
very
large
group
of
States,
including
the
state
of
California,
the
national
City
League
of
cities.
What
is
it?
The
National
League
of
cities,
the
California
County
Association,
the
it
goes
on
and
on
I
mean
it's.
It's
really
received
national
attention,
so
you
know.
Z
On
the
one
hand,
the
the
on
Bonk
panel
could
overturn
the
decision
of
the
three-judge
panel
and
restore
you
know
everybody's
understanding,
of
how
the
federal
law
Works,
in
which
case
then
you're
green
lighted,
to
go
forward
with
the
ordinance.
However,
that
could
be
appealed
to
the
Supreme
Court
and
you
know.
Who
knows
what
would
happen
if
it
if
it
were
appealed
to
the
Supreme
Court?
Z
Yes,
so
you
know
ultimately,
really
the
best
fix
is
a
federal
legislative
fix
that
clarifies
the
scope
of
preemption,
whether
that's
a
good
one
or
you
know,
or
a
practical
one
or
not
a
viable
one.
But
there
we
go
so
I
have
been
working
with
staff
and,
as
they've
been
working
with
the
energy
Committee
in
figuring
out
how
to
implement
in
concept
this
type
of
of
greenhouse
gas
reduction
measure,
and
it
is
one
of
the
primary
measures
in
the
draft
climate
action
plan,
the
county-wide
climate
action
plan.
Z
So
it's
something
that
everybody's
going
to
be
wrestling
with
is
how
do
we
reduce
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions
if
we
can't
start
implementing
that
particular
measure?
So
you
know,
if
you
have
any
questions
on
litigation,
I'm
happy
to
get
into
more
detail,
but
otherwise
you
know
they
can
talk
about
the
Alternatives
and
the
directions.
We're
going.
B
Yeah,
my
question
has
to
do
with
Alternatives
I
guess
not
not
legal
things.
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
are
going
to
touch
on
this,
but
because
yeah
reach
codes
come
up
a
lot,
especially
to
like
I'm
on
the
board
of
our
cea.
We
talk
about
reach
codes,
a
lot.
We
all
went
to
that
Civic
well
conference.
They
talked
about
reach
codes,
a
lot
I
mean,
and
so
how
you
know
could
that
be
used
as
a
mechanism
to
reach
similar
goals
and
I,
especially,
you
know
think
about
that.
B
A
lot
with
the
onset
of
you
know
new
construction
and
pending
new
construction
and
policy
in
the
gateway
to
promote.
You
know
new
construction,
but
we
want
to
be
mindful,
you
know
about
what
is
being
constructed
and
how
it's
going
to
impact
the
environment
and
all
that,
and
so
I
mean
how.
How
does
that
mechanism
work
for
the
the
go
around.
AA
Sure
I
can
speak
to
that
a
bit
I'll
start
with
providing
some
background
on
reach
codes.
In
this
context,
so
the
city
has
previously
adopted
a
reach
code
with
the
last
building
code
cycle
and
what
a
reach
code
does
is.
There
are
effectively
Title
24
energy
standards
that
new
development
must
meet,
Energy
Efficiency,
so
to
speak,
and
a
reach
code
sets
the
bar
higher.
It
requires
more
stringent
standards
that
results
in
greater
energy
efficiencies.
AA
The
process
for
adopting
reach
codes
is
they
run
with
a
building
code
cycle
so
they're
three
year
terms,
they
must
be
determined
to
be
cost
effective,
and
so
the
city's
approach
in
the
past
is
there's
several
vetted
and
approved,
so
to
speak.
Cost-Effectiveness
studies
that
we
know
the
California
energy
commission
approves
of
so
the
city
has
in
the
past,
used
some
of
those
boilerplate
I'll
say:
cost
Effectiveness
studies,
so
reach
code
needs
to
be
cost
effective.
It
runs
with
a
three-year
code
cycle.
The
city
of
Arcata
needs
to
adopt
the
reach
code.
AA
It
really,
to
be
frank,
wasn't
the
best
approach
to
take,
and
so
that
was
actually
why
we
had
shifted
to
this
all-electric
ordinance,
because
that
would
remain
in
perpetuity
until
the
municipal
code
was
amended.
So
it's
not
to
say
that
we
couldn't
look
at
reach
codes,
but
the
extra
challenge
is
that
we
can't
do
the
same
thing
with
a
reach
code
that
we
would
have
done
with
an
all-electric
ordinance.
AA
And
so
currently,
we
have
a
building
code
standards
or
Energy
Efficiency
code
standards
that
are
pretty
pretty
Progressive,
I
would
say,
and
so,
if
your
current
standards
are
here
and
here
is
where
all
electric
would
get
you,
that
that
margin
between
not
fully
preempting
and
yet
still
being
more
aggressive
with
efficiency
standards,
I
wouldn't
recommend,
as
currently
the
best
use
of
resources,
and
so
really
the
the
discussion
with
the
energy
committee
was
to
refocus
on
what
types
of
programs
and
incentives
can
we
look
at
for
retrofitting
existing
existing
development,
particularly
because
some
of
our
most
of
our
housing
stock
is
so
aged
and
not
not
energy
efficient,
particularly,
you
know
a
lot
of
the
houses
that
are
built
in
the
50s
mine
being
one
of
them,
so
I
can
vouch
for
that,
as
well
as
incentivizing
new
development
to
head
toward
electrification
and
when
thinking
about
okay,
incentivizing
new
development,
that's
a
very
broad
term.
AA
What
types
of
new
development
are
we
likely
seeing
as
being
the
greatest
greenhouse
gas
emission
generators
as
well
as
potential
savings?
And
what
are
we
seeing
happening?
The
most
of
so
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
multi-family
housing?
Going
in
so
that
could
be
a
good
place
to
focus
energy
on
incentivizing,
electrification
of
new
construction
of,
for
example,
multi-family
housing,
so
I
will
I'll
pause
there.
C
B
No,
we
don't
usually
take
public
comment
on
staff
reports.
Okay,
we
have
requests
for
a
really
quick,
two-minute
bio
break.
I
know
we
have
not
oh
yeah,
but
oh
my
God
okay
go
go
ahead
and
then,
when,
before
we
move
to
the
next
staff
report
and
our
staff
reports,
we'll
take
a
quick
break
sure.
AA
So
I
just
wanted
to
expand
a
little
bit
before
wrapping
up
this.
The
staff
report
on
some
of
the
city's
current
efforts
that
we
are
already
doing
was
ended
on
a
positive
note,
as
well
as
some
of
the
discussion
that
was
specifically
had
around
this
item
at
the
energy
committee
meeting.
That
was
about
two
and
a
half
weeks
ago
and
kind
of
looking
toward
those
those
next
options
within
that
context
of
you
know:
incentivizing
So.
Currently,
the
city
has
really
focused
on
decarbonizing
our
city
building
facilities.
AA
Most
recently,
within
the
last
couple
weeks,
we
worked
with
rcea
on
Switching
out
water
heaters
to
be
heat
pump,
water
heaters
that
included
three
facilities.
We
also
are
moving
forward
with
our
community
center
rooftop
solar
and
led
retrofit
loan
through
the
California
energy
commission.
We
recently
switched
over
a
community
center
water
heating
to
become
an
electric
water
heater,
we're
working
with
swell
energy
on
battery
backups
at
several
City
facilities.
Some
have
been
completed,
some
are
still
in
process
and
then
certainly,
we've
been
very
engaged
in
the
continuation
of
the
climate
action
planning
efforts.
AA
Looking
at
environmental
review
as
well
as
potential
future
implementation
and
how
that
could
look,
so
those
are
some
of
the
things
that
the
city
is
doing
specific
around
building
buildings,
we're
also
working
toward
mode
shift,
increasing
our
electric
vehicle
charging
stations,
electrifying
our
buses,
our
Fleet,
as
we're
able
to
so
really
also
focusing
on
that
Transportation
sector
as
well,
given
that
that
is
another
of
the
highest
greenhouse
gas
emission
generators
with
the
energy
committee,
we
we
very
much
brainstormed
I'll
use
that
term
of
lots
of
options
for
potentially
incentivizing
both
existing
as
well
as
new
development.
AA
Some
things
could
look
at
you
know:
could
there
be
an
incentivized
appliance
burnout
program
so
when
appliances
burn
out
incentivizing
the
replacement
that
they
become
electric,
could
we
work
towards
smart
circuits
I'm,
just
sharing
some
examples
to
help
existing
residences
manage
their
loads
and
therefore
be
able
to
Electrify
more
easily
there's
the
consideration
of
development
credits,
and
that
could
be
a
timely
consideration
as
the
general
plan
efforts
continue
to
move
forward,
so,
in
other
words,
could
multi-families
potentially
get
a
density
credit,
for
example,
if
they
go
all
electric
versus
mixed
fuel.
AA
So
those
are
some
of
the
aspects
that
we
had
discussed
at
the
committee
level
and
certainly
if,
if
the
council
is
interested,
we
could
do
additional
research
to
look
at
what
are
some
of
the
most
effective,
implementable,
incentivization
programs
and
projects,
as
well
as
looking
at
what
other
municipalities
are
doing,
have
done.
And
what
are
they
doing
in
light
of
the
recent
Berkeley
ruling,
since
several
other
municipalities
in
California
have
already
enacted
or
were
working
toward
enacting
electrification
ordinances.
AA
G
Just
I
know:
I
asked
for
the
bio
break,
but
just
a
really
good,
quick
question.
During
the
presentation
from
the
energy
committee.
They
talked
about
potential
input
or
potential
uses
for
the
arpa
funds
for
the
climate,
change
allocations
and
I
went
back
and
looked
at
that,
and
it
was
like
there's
some
grants
or
rebates
through
our
cea,
and
so
that's
by
jurisdiction
like
we
take
some
money
that
we're
allocating
to
Arcata
or
what
is
that
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
like?
Is
there
certain
amount
of
money
or
is
it
just
income?
AA
Spent
so
our
cea
has
a
number
of
different
rebate
programs.
They
administer
the
programs,
we
do
not
as
a
city
and
we
do
not
have
specific
allocations.
The
energy
committee
actually
recently
received
a
report
on
electric
bike
rebates
and
looking
at
restructuring
that
program
and
having
some
be
income
eligible.
Y
I
would
also
add
that
you
know
really
depend
depending
upon
the
council's
direction.
We've
really
allocated
the
or
prioritizing
the
arpa
allocation
for
climate
change
relate
adaptation
towards
decarbonizing
of
the
community
Center,
but
also
there's
some
funds
that
could
be.
You
know
flexible
for
augmenting
existing
incentive
programs
for
four
fields
of
switching
you
know
of
working
with
regional
Partners
like
rcea,
so
we
have.
Y
H
H
AA
Absolutely
we
recently
our
water
heater
at
the
community
center
burned
out,
that
was
a
gas
powered
water
heater,
so
we
made
that
switch
to
Electric,
so
we're
acting.
You
know
upon
burnout
as
well
as
opportunistically.
Our
recent
heat
pump
water
heater
project
that
we
partnered
with
our
cea
on
was
an
opportunity
that
arose
you
know
prior
to
burnout,
so
we
we're
both
proactive
and
reactive.
H
B
B
All
right
we
are
back
and
our
last
item
under
Council
and
staff
reports
is
going
to
be
to
receive
a
report
from
our
city
engineer
on
adding
a
new
transit
route
to
the
city's
transit
system.
So
I
know
we're
all
excited
to
hear
this
update
and
look
at
where
it's
going.
So
thank
you,
natural.
Take
it
away.
V
V
So,
as
you
know,
we
have
transit
system
and
we
are
trying
to
improve
all
the
time.
So
in
last
few
weeks,
or
maybe
last
one
month,
we've
been
working
with
Cal,
Poly,
Humboldt
and
HDA
to
expand
our
route
in
the
city
limits
from
a
lot
of
discussions.
What
we
came
up
with
is
an
option
right
now.
I'm
going
to
show
you
here
is
it's
wow.
V
Here
it
is
it's
bigger,
it's
better!
Bigger
is
better
anyway,
so
I'll
just
give
you
maybe
overview
of
what
we
have
currently
I
will
not
zoom
this
smaller
here.
Just
so
that
you
know
what
I'm
talking
about
here.
The
red
line
is
our
Red
Cloud
the
red
route.
We
call
the
East
and
West
Route,
which
covers
the
I,
would
say
southern
part
of
the
city,
and
then
we
have
a
goal.
Route.
V
I
would
call
it
it's
not
in
North
South
Route,
which
covers
from
Samoa
to
all
the
way
to
the
valley,
East
and
Valley
West,
and
then
we
have
a
hybrid
route,
which
is
an
orange
route,
which
is
a
combination
of
red
and
gold.
So
those
are
routes
for
a
long
time.
We've
been
running
that
and
we've
been
always
talking
about
a
new
route,
adding
we
call
that
a
green
route,
but
after
talking
to
Cal,
Poly,
Humboldt
and
HDA,
we
came
up
with
this
new
name
because
of
Cal
Poly,
green
and
gold.
V
So
that's
the
name
of
the
route
and
it
will
be
similar
to
a
gold
route.
But
half
of
that
so
now
I'm
going
to
expand
this
little
bit
here.
So
you
can
see
how
that
will
look
like
so
here.
As
you
can
see,
our
goal
route
is
here,
goes
this
part
and
then
goes
back
again
in
the
valley,
east
and
west,
through
Western
Road
jintoli,
Valley,
East,
Valley,
West,
James
road
comes
back
spear,
Alliance
Foster
to
Cal
Poly.
So
what
would
happen
in
the
green
route?
V
Is
it
will
be
running
every
half
an
hour
right
now?
All
of
our
routes
run
every
one
hour.
So
now
you
have
to
wait
for
one
hour
at
the
bus.
Stop
now
on
the
library,
Circle
and
the
transit
are
the
place
where
you
don't
have
to
wait
for
one
hour,
because
bus
comes
back
to
that
place,
but
with
this
route,
what
would
happen
is
this
will
be
coming
every
half
an
hour
and
coming
back
to
library
Circle.
So
what
will
happen
is
currently
at
Valley
Eastern,
Valley
West.
We
just
go
once
every
one
hour.
V
Our
transit
system,
there's
now
railroad
transit
system.
That
goes
there.
Everyone
are
also
which
also
comes
back
to
Cal
Poly,
humble
at
the
library
Circle.
But
what
would
happen
with
this?
One
is
now
within
one
hour.
You
will
have
four
stops.
It
will
be
from
Green
route
will
have
a
two
within
an
hour
then
we'll
have
our
gold
route
and
then
RTS.
V
So
in
an
hour
people
who
live
in
that
area,
students
or
any
people
who
live
in
that
area
or
in
that
neighborhood
they
will
be
able
to
catch
the
bus
and
we'll
be
able
to
go
to
the
downtown
or
the
transit
area,
and
they
can
connect
to
that
Library
Circle.
So
that
is
the
proposed
new
route
we
are
working
with.
I
was
hoping
to
have
contracts
signed
before
this
meeting,
but
we
sent
the
contract
for
Signature.
We
haven't
received
the
signed
agreement
yet
so
I'm
very
hopeful,
because
we
have
received
positive
response
from
Cal
Poly.
V
V
G
Good
question:
thank
you
unfortunately,
yeah
not
yet,
but
hopefully,
I
was
talking
to
the
ra
resident
advisor
at
Cal.
Poly
Humboldt
for
the
Comfort
Inn,
and
that
was
the
biggest
challenge
is
that
the
students
were
late
for
their
first
morning
class.
So
this
will
Rectify
that
situation
and
they
won't
be
late.
So
that's
I'm,
I'm
super
excited
yeah.
V
This
is
a
very
exciting
time
for
the
transit
and
for
the
bus
users,
and
we've
been
talking
about
like
a
having
a
route
with
a
smaller
frequency,
and
this
is
it
with
the
smaller
frequency
we'll
see
what
kind
of
ridership
we
get.
If
we
get
a
good
ridership,
we
can
explore
potential
options
in
future
working
with
HDA
to
get
some
grants.
H
Okay,
so
at
the
age
my
hands
up,
I
want
to
be
called
on.
So
this
morning
at
HTA
meeting
we
talked
about
that
and
one
of
the
biggest
items
that
we
have
at
HTA
at
the
moment
is
drivers,
and
so
this
route
will
not
happen
unless
they
can
find
drivers
to
do
it
so
I'm,
just
putting
a
plea
out
or
a
notice
that
we
HCA
is
hiring
drivers
and
that
we
definitely
need
more
drivers
in
order
to
make
things
work.
H
So
for
this
route,
they're
saying
you
know
they're
putting
to
make
it
work,
they
have
their
Transit
person
who
manages
everybody
he's
he's
on
his
the
janitor
that
cleans
all
the
buses
he's
going
to
be
put
on
everyone
they
could
put.
You
know
that
has
a
license
within
the
organization
is
going
to
be
hopefully
able
to
do
this,
but
we
really
need
drivers.
We
don't
need
to
be
actually
using
other
people
that
have
another
job
within
the
organization.
Alex.
H
Well,
that's
another
whole
thought
process,
but
at
this
moment
you
could
say
deaf
definitely
and
this
route
that
we're
talking
about
right
now
may
not
occur
unless
they
have
enough
drivers.
So
I
just
you
know,
I'm
just
putting
that
out,
because
they
there
was
a
big
issue.
We
have
this
morning.
We
talked
about
different
things.
We
talked
about
you
know,
Personnel,
etc,
etc.
Trying
to
figure
out
what
what
method
we
could
actually
use
to
encourage
more
people
to
drive
the
other
thing.
Become
drivers
not
to
drive
well
to
drive
buses.
H
I
guess
you
could
say
that
also
on
our
buses.
We
need
to
get
a
GPS
system
on
them
and
we
also
need
to
get
a
router
for
Wi-Fi
so
that
you
always
know
where
the
bus
is
so
that
you
could
have
it
on
your
phone.
You
say:
oh
it's
so
far
away
or
if
I'm
in
my
room
at
the
Comfort
Inn
and
the
bus
is
moving
around
I
better
get
out
there
or
I
will
miss
it.
So
that
is
part
of
what's
going
to
be
happening.
I
just
wanted.
V
V
And
that
is
a
great
Point
Alex
and
you
know
it's
going
to
take
a
village
to
run
this
route,
and
we
talked
about
this
at
our
meeting
with
Cal
Poly
and
our
team.
So
definitely
as
at
this
point,
or
at
least
as
of
last
week,
sta
staff
has
promised
to
run
at
least
half
of
the
day
portion
and
we
have
our
staff
at
our
Transit
who
are
not
supposed
to
be
driving
but
working
in
the
office.
V
He
is
stepping
up
and
he
will
be
driving
half
of
the
early
morning
shift
so
he'll
be
doing
the
morning
shift.
Hc
will
be
covering
the
half
shift,
so
until
we
get
a
driver
position
filled,
so
we
will
be
working
together
to
make
this
route
happen,
because
we
want
to
see
the
data
and
we
want
this
route
to
be
successful.
So
we
can
in
future,
show
the
data
to
other
funding
agencies
and
try
to
keep
this
route
in
place.
Does.
V
H
Is
you
know
we
we
wish
for
the
world?
We
wish
that
we
had
this.
We
wish
that
we
had
that.
You
know
we
hear
this
people
talk
to
us
about
it
and
you
know
I
think
about
it
and
I
wish.
We
had
other
things.
We
just
don't
have
the
staff
and
the
money
and
we
need
the
money
in
order
to
have
the
staff
to
be
able
to
do
many
things
we
want,
but
on
another.
H
V
Yeah
definitely
so
since
I'm
here,
I'll
just
give
you
maybe
one
more
stats
that
you
might
be
interested
in
and
I
have
in
front
of
me
here
is
in
the
fiscal
year
2021
our
ridership
was
very
low
because
of
the
covet
we
had
only
30
000
people
using
our
Transit
System
in
2122,
it
increased
to
40,
000
Plus
and
as
of
June
of
2023,
we
have
again
increased
to
63
000.,
so
it
is
definitely
is
up,
people
are
using
it.
So
it's
good
and
we
had
our
free
bus
ride
program.
V
H
So,
thank
you
so
they're
going
to
be
other
experiments.
That
HT
is
trying
to
do
we'll,
be
trying
to
do
they'll,
be
putting
those
and
and
they're
just
beginning
to
lay
those
out
and
as
they
happen,
they'll
be
mainly
starting
in
Eureka
and
I
am
McKinleyville
and
I
will
bring
those
forward
when
it
and
it
happens.
V
Well,
since
I'm
here
I'll
give
you
one
more
update.
We
are
on
Transit,
so
we
are
working
our
Transit
development
plan.
We
have
to
do
that
every
five
years,
so
we
had
two
drafts
received
I,
believe
there's.
The
final
draft
is
going
to
the
edgecog
board
on
August,
17th
I
believe
so
once
it's
finalized,
then
we'll
be
using
that
as
for
next
five
years,
and
that
document
has
the
new
suggested
route
for
the
city
and
the
costs
and
how
we
can
implement
it.
B
H
Was
there
and
she
said,
they're
still
working
really
hard
in
rebuilding
their
town
and
it's
Wildwood
days
that
are
coming
up
this
weekend
and
they
encourage
everyone
to
consider
coming
down
to
support
Rio
Dale.
So
I
wanted
to
point
that
out
and
bring
that
up
as
something
and
we
will
have
on
Sunday
again
we
will
have
music
and
we
will
have
the
arch
on
the
Plaza
and
every
day,
every
Sunday,
it
picks
up.
It
gets
better
and
better,
which
is
quite
exciting.
H
G
So
I
got
to
attend
another
Redwood
region,
Economic,
Development,
commission
and
I
have
to
say
I'm
really
liking
it.
So
yeah
I'm
excited
I'm
learning
a
lot
Greg
Foster
just
brings
so
much
to
the
table.
I'm
yeah,
I'm
learning
I
also
attended
a
Arcata
house
partnership
quarterly
board
and
we
got
a
lot
of
updates
again
on
safe
parking.
Various
grants
that
are
in
progress,
I
got
to
do
and
I
forgot
to
mention
or
invite
you
all
last
time.
So
it's
over,
but
I
did
an
ollie
Brown
bagged.
G
Lunch
presentation
called
transforming
a
community
Valley
West.
So
if
you
didn't
get
to
attend,
there
will
be
it
will
be
uploaded
on
their
website
and
also
their
YouTube
channel
I
attended
the
Humboldt
Pet
Supply
monthly
March
cleanup.
It
was
a
great
success,
I'd
love
to
give
a
shout
out
because
they
do
this
every
month
and
free
donuts,
free,
kinetic
coffee,
every
participant
gets
a
goodie
bag
and
it's
not
too
shabby.
If
you
have
a
pet,
it's
worth
it.
G
You
know
and
of
course,
you're
doing
a
community
service,
and
then
they
also
have
a
special
prize
for
the
most
litter
cleaned
or
collected,
and
the
next
Marsh
cleanup
it's
on
G
Street
is
Saturday
August
26th
and
speaking
of
cleanups
they'd
like
to
invite
everyone
to
the
Valley
West
Community
clean
the
sidewalk
event.
That's
this
Sunday
from
9
to
11,
and
we
too
give
out
prizes
for
the
most
litter
and
also
the
best
before
and
after
picture
and
yeah.
There's
several
things
happening
before
our
next
city
council
meeting.
G
B
A
lot
I
did
one
of
the
coastal
land
trust
cleanups
and
they
don't
get
a
lot
of
people
coming
out.
My
friends,
one
of
their
board
members,
so
they're
trying
to
get
more
people
to
come
out
and
it's
it's
a
fun
one,
because
actually
there's
not
a
lot
of
trash,
but
the
trash
that
you
do
find
is
very
interesting.
B
It's
a
lot
of
like
you
know,
Beach
trash,
that's
washed
up,
so
we
had
a
lot
of
fun
and
hopefully
did
not
get
tetanus
carrying
some
really
crazy
crab
pots
up
those
stairs
at
Huda
point
so
they're
they're,
looking
for
more
volunteers,
so
it's
a
fun
one
to
do.
They
have
a
good
crew.
All
right.
My
reports
again
yeah,
there's
a
lot
of
upcoming
events.
Tomorrow
there's
going
to
be
a
chamber
mixer.
It's
at
Ridgefield
events,
which
is
up
fickle
Hill
about
two
point.
B
Well,
I'm
official
elegant,
it's
2.4
miles
up
Pickle
Hill,
but
you
could
look
it
up
on
the
the
chamber,
has
posted
about
it
and
has
the
official
address
on
there,
but
beautiful
wedding
events
venue
and
there
is
going
to
be
music
by
Young
and
lovely
Jazz.
There's
going
to
be
food,
it's
a
great
networking
opportunity
and
just
a
beautiful
space,
so
I
recommend
people
go
to
that
tomorrow.
It's
from
5
30
to
7..
B
Also
this
weekend
at
the
marsh
starting
at
7
30
is
the
lantern
floating
ceremony,
which
I
will
be
giving
the
little
opening
message
of
and
helping
MC
and
also
I
believe
they'll
be
doing
the
you
can
create
the
lanterns
at
the
farmers
market
in
the
morning
before
they'll
have
a
station
for
that,
and
so
music
and
folks
will
start
gathering
around
7,
7
30
and
then
by
7
45.
The
ceremony
will
begin
supposed
to
be
hula
dancers.
Mckinleyville
choir
this
raging
grannies.
Is
that
what
it's
called?
B
Yes,
the
Raging
grannies
The
Humble
Tycho
drummers.
So
it's
always
a
beautiful
event
and
you
know
guaranteed
to
be
great,
so
come
out
to
that
and
make
sure
to
walk
or
bike
if
you're,
if
you're
coming
too,
because
you
kind
of
have
to
right
now
with
the
weights
things
are
down
there.
The
iblock
party
is
going
to
be
taking
place
per
usual
on
Labor
Day,
which
is
Monday
September
4th
for
the
Nicaragua
kenwapa
sister
city
project.
B
It's
a
great
fundraiser
every
year,
there's
going
to
be
music
all
day
and
myself
and
the
vice
mayor
are
going
to
be
emceeing
it.
So
you
know
it's
going
to
be
a
good
time
when
you
give
us
a
microphone
and
then
last
thing,
I'll
just
report
from
my
rcea
board
meeting.
We
had
a
really
good
final
presentation
and
a
wrap
up
of
a
project
that
they've
been
doing
called
Humboldt's
electric
future
report.
B
And
so
it
was
really
about
getting
the
public
involved
in
that
budget
kind
of
well
priority
process
and
then
also
just
kind
of
educated
on
the
energy
issues
facing
Humboldt,
and
so
the
report
I
think
it
should
already
be
after
we
put
our
stamp
of
approval
on
it
at
the
board
meeting
should
be
going
up
onto
rcea's
website
and
if
you
are
interested
in
energy
issues
locally,
it's
a
really
it's
a
good
read,
there's
a
lot
of
great
graphics
and
just
about
what
that
public
process
was
like
and
a
lot
of
the
workshops
that
there
was.
B
You
know
a
good
turnout,
both
in
person
and
virtually
that
they
had,
and
so
our
cea
was
pretty
excited
about
that
process.
So
good
work
by
our
cea
staff
and,
if
you're
interested
in
reading
it,
it
should
be
up
on
the
website
soon.
So
again,
that's
called
Humboldt's
electric
future.
C
Yeah,
it's
been
a
little
while,
since
I've
reported
out
on
hwma
because
it's
been
a
while
since
there
have
been
a
meeting
but
I
promise
that
I'll
have
some
things
scintillating,
I'm
sure
to
report
at
the
next
meeting,
just
again
to
Echo
what
my
fellow
council
members
said.
There
are
a
lot
of
wonderful
things
happening
for
the
rest
of
the
summer,
so
get
out,
there's
also
the
Oban
Festival,
that's
Sunday,
the
13th,
which
will
be
before
our
next
meeting.
It's
the
last
week
of
the
crabs.
C
So
if
you
haven't
been
to
a
Crabs
game,
yet
please
take
advantage
of
it
and
go
I
got
to
go
to
a
Cal,
Poly
housing
mixer
yesterday,
which
was
really
interesting
and
talked
to
a
lot
of
the
folks
that
work
for
the
University
and
are
very
involved
with
helping
our
students
find
housing.
So
that
was
great
and
once
again,
I
want
to
thank
H
Cog
for
having
Dan
burden
come
out
because
I
thought
that
was
a
really
really
wonderful
thing.
So
thank
you
again.
G
Hope
don't
forget,

Arcada
Arts
