City of Arcata Live Stream
A
If
there's
anyone
here,
that's
wanting
to
do
the
very
first
early
oral
communication,
the
cards
are
there,
so
we
take
the
first
four
people
in
person.
Are
there
still
some
available?
What
number
is
that
two?
Okay.
A
A
A
The
city
of
Arcata
acknowledges
that
the
lands
we
are
located
on
are
the
unseated
ancestral
lands
of
the
Wyatt
tribe,
the
land
that
arcade
arrests
on
is
known
in
the
Wyatt
language
as
gudini,
meaning
over
in
the
woods
or
among
the
Redwoods
past
actions
by
local
state
and
federal
governments
removed
the
WEA
and
other
indigenous
peoples
from
the
land
and
threatened
to
destroy
their
cultural
practices.
The
city
of
Arcata
acknowledges
the
weak
Community
their
Elders,
both
past
and
present,
as
well
as
future
Generations.
A
A
If
you
wish
to
make
a
comment
during
the
meeting
at
either
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,
you'll
line
up
behind
the
podium.
When
the
item
you
would
like
to
speak
on
is
accepting
public
comment,
if
you
are
logged
on
to
zoom
click.
Raise
your
hand
when
it
is
time
for
public
comment
on
the
item.
You
wish
to
speak
on.
A
If
you
are
on
the
phone
press,
star
9
on
your
phone
to
raise
your
hand
when
it
is
your
turn,
you
will
be
prompted
to
dial
Star
6
on
your
phone
for
each
item.
We
will
be
taking
in-person
public
comment
first
and
then
moving
to
the
online
comments
and
in
general
we
won't
be
going
back
and
forth.
So
when
it
is
time
to
comment
and
you're
wanting
to
do
that,
please
make
sure
that
we're
aware
of
that.
So
that
leads
us
into
our
early
oral
Communications.
A
The
city
council
values
your
comments,
and
this
15-minute
time
period
allows
people
to
address
the
council
that
are
on
matters
that
are
not
on
the
agenda.
So
again,
if
it's
a
specific
agenda
item
that
you're
wanting
to
speak
on,
those
will
be
coming
later.
So
this
is
for
things
that
are
not
on
the
agenda.
A
Please
know
that,
pursuant
to
the
brown
act,
the
council
cannot
discuss
or
take
action
on
items
that
are
not
listed
on
the
posted
agenda
at
the
end
of
all
oral
Communications,
the
council
May
respond
to
statements,
supported
requests
that
require
Council
actions
will
be
set
for
future
agenda
or
referred
to.
Staff
speakers
will
be
limited
to
two
minutes.
There
will
also
be
time
for
the
public
to
comment
specifically
on
each
agenda
item
and
again
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
under
item
12..
A
D
Last
meeting
you
made
a
big
decision
on
addressing
the
wastewater
treatment
plant,
almost
55
million
and
the
issue
there
is.
You
seem
to
be
not
very
prepared
by
the
fact
that
you
didn't
read
the
coastal
commission
ruling
on
that.
So
it's
very
disappointing
to
have
such
a
big
decision
and
not
be
prepared
for
such
a
big
decision.
D
The
staff
put
a
lot
of
time
into
this
and
I'm
talking
about
staff
here
and
also
the
coastal
commission
staff,
so
it
should
have
been
red,
so
you
are
aware
of
the
history
and
what
was
going
on
as
far
as
what
the
city
was
doing,
and
so
this
issue
has
sort
of
been
brought
up
in
the
past
too,
from
the
2019
in
the
past
city
council.
They
asked
a
lot
of
questions
about
this
particular
issue
and
one
of
them
was
you
know
we
want
to
get
ahead
of
this.
D
This
sea
level
rise
issue
and
we
need
to
purchase
some
property
to
build
a
plant,
and
it
was
also
noted
in
this
meeting
that
you
know
we
sure
don't
want
to
make
a
mistake
of
putting
six
story
buildings
on
a
location
where
wastewater
treatment
needs
to
go
in
the
future.
So
that
was
three
years
ago
and
we
don't
seem
to
be
asking
that
question
anymore
and
I
know
it's
just
kind
of
seems
like
we're
not
giving
very
much
attention
to
this,
which
is
probably
one
of
the
most
important
issues
that
you're
facing
I'll.
D
Also
note
the
grand
jury
report
I
was
here
that
night
it
seemed
like
two
hours
was
spent
on.
You
know
how
late
should
a
concert
go
in
the
creamery
District
in
only
10
minutes
was
spent
on
that
response
to
the
grand
jury
report
I
was
here
was
expecting
to
have
a
public
comment.
It
wasn't
even
any
time
so
I
don't
quite
understand
how
such
an
important
issue
is
not
being
addressed
and
I
mean
addressed
by
the
council,
not
even
spending
very
much
time
on
these
issues.
So
these
are
all
particular
laws.
D
E
Good
evening
my
name
is
Sherry
Potter
and
I'm.
The
general
manager
at
hotel,
Arcata
I'm,
coming
before
the
city
council,
to
express
my
frustration
with
the
homeless
on
the
Plaza
and
the
problems
that
they
are
causing
for
the
businesses
and,
in
particular,
for
the
hotel.
Last
year
alone,
the
hotel
paid
over
114
thousand
dollars
in
TOT
tax
to
the
city
and
having
this
massive
problem
with
the
unhoused
right
outside
our
door
is
having
a
negative
effect
on
our
bottom
line.
E
E
There
are
constant
fights
outside
people
screaming
and
yelling
at
each
other,
coming
into
Lobby,
stealing
from
our
breakfast
bar
stealing
from
humbled
Outfitters,
sneaking
into
our
bathrooms
and
trashing
them
harassing
our
guests
for
money,
leaving
trash
food
feces
and
urine
everywhere,
people
allowing
their
dogs
to
run
loose
with
little
or
no
oversight.
Young
women
cannot
walk
around
the
plaza
without
constant
cat
calls
and
harassment.
People
in
general
feel
profoundly
unsafe,
that's
what's
happening
during
the
day.
The
real
fun
doesn't
get
started
until
after
the
sun
has
gone
down.
E
The
fighting
the
car
break-ins,
the
drunk
people,
people
setting
off
fireworks
people
peeling
out
in
their
cars
drum
circles
going
on
all
night,
the
other
night,
a
fight
started
around
midnight
and
ended
up
in
the
entryway
of
our
hotel,
and
it
literally
went
on
for
hours.
The
police
were
called.
Nothing
happened
until
one
of
them
broke
a
window
out
of
humbled
Outfitters.
E
E
It's
only
a
matter
of
time
before
somebody's
seriously
injured
or
killed.
Just
last
night
there
were
multiple
noise
complaints
made
about
the
chaos
outside
this
morning.
We
noticed
that
during
the
night,
people
had
smashed
the
marble
wall
in
Panache,
doorway
and
shoved
lit
pieces
of
paper
inside
of
the
wall.
Thankfully,
it's
a
brick
building
that
did
not
catch
fire
and
no
one
was
hurt,
but
a
young
woman
at
humbled
Outfitters
was
assaulted.
Today,
thank.
F
F
I,
don't
know
what
is
happening
as
the
previous
speaker,
the
first
Speaker
talked
about
are
dealing
with
really
important,
life-changing
big
huge
issues
in
our
communities,
such
as
sea
level
rise
and
the
coastal
commission
and
the
climate
reality
and
the
region
has
a
draft
climate
action
plan
and
I
never
see
it
on
the
agenda
and
I'm
just
really
concerned
that
we
will
be
knee-high
waist
high
in
water
and
overheated.
F
You
know,
and
no
no
drinking
water
available
before
any
action
is
really
taking
and
taken
and
I'm
just
really
perturbed
that
we
deal
with
a
lot
of
these
other
issues
and
we
get
a
lot
of
money
for
things
like
baseball
stadiums
and
and
the
like,
and
we
have
a
serious
Global
issue.
That's
affecting
us
locally
and
I
really
really
need
to
see
some
leadership.
Some
Brave
and
Bold
leadership
on
this
Council
and
in
the
city
of
what
we
are
going
to
do,
and
particularly
about
fossil
fuel
emissions,
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
F
G
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Emily.
Parsons
I
am
a
store
manager
at
humbled.
Outfitters
I
am
the
person
in
question
that
was
assaulted
today
by
a
homeless
person
that
stole
from
our
business
as
Sherry
stated
previously,
the
manager
of
the
hotel
Arcata.
This
is
not
something
new
for
us.
G
Unfortunately,
I've
had
two
thefts
in
the
last
week,
as
well
as
a
window
broken
that's
the
second
window
that
I've
had
broken
this
year
and
we
are
noticing
that
there
is
not
an
appropriate
response
from
the
police,
we'll
make
calls
and
they
either
don't
show
up
or
they
don't
pursue
any
action
against
the
person.
That's
committed
the
crime
and
it's
to
the
point
where
the
people
come
in
I
literally,
the
person
that
came
in
today
said
I'm
sorry
about
last
night
and
then
took
everything
again
and
pushed
me
out
of
the
way.
I.
G
Don't
think
that
this
is
something
that
is
appropriate
at
all.
I
worry
about
my
staff
and
when
they're
there
alone,
most
of
my
staff
are
young
girls,
some
of
them
even
in
high
school,
and
it's
just
a
very
scary,
dangerous
situation
that
I
don't
want
them
to
be.
In
especially
when
they
love
the
store
that
they
work
at,
and
it's
just
totally
unacceptable
for
this
situation
going
around
to
be
that
way,
customers
are
noticing.
Customers
are
uncomfortable,
as
Sherry
said,
it's
affecting
our
bottom
line
as
well.
G
H
Good
evening
my
name
is
Lori
Waldorf
I'm,
a
homeowner
in
the
sunset
area
at
the
neighborhood
I'm
here
tonight
to
speak
about
the
sunset
Alliance
trail
that
a
city-owned
property.
We
would
ask
you,
as
a
community,
to
postpone
the
November
first
planned
work
on
the
trail.
This
is
just
throwing
good
money
after
a
bad
idea.
H
Public
Safety
and
liability
issue
is
impacting
all
of
the
sunset
neighborhood
and
the
affected
Alliance
neighborhoods
after
dark
this
dangerous
Trail
becomes
the
criminal
Highway.
There
is
a
vast
increase
in
neighborhood
car
and
truck
theft.
Tire
slashing
trespassing
into
yards
smash,
vehicle,
Windows
graffiti
plain
and
simple
liability
issues
for
our
city.
It
has
more
infill
occurs
current
and
future
the
flow
of
foot,
traffic
and
bikes
on
alliance,
West
and
Western
can
go
vastly
onto
the
vastly
improved
walkway
on
Foster.
This
is
for
everybody's
benefit.
H
It's
much
safer
down
there
you
it
might
take
five
more
minutes
as
homeowners
and
citizens
of
Arcata.
We
expect
our
leaders.
H
To
have
strong
Vision
that
includes
the
safety
to
our
renters
Cal,
Poly,
students
and
homeowners.
A
compromise
would
be
an
unclimbable
fence
top
and
bottom
of
the
trail,
with
lock
gates
at
Sunset
like
our
nearby
City
skate
park.
A
more
lasting
solution
is
to
remove
current
unsafe
infrastructure
in
place
on
unclimbable
fence
top
and
bottom.
We
believe
the
current
situation
would
not
be
tolerated
for
a
private
home
owner
much
more
glaring
liability
for
our
city
of
Arcata.
What
was
maybe
a
decent
idea
20
years
ago
does
not
warrant
any
Merit
today.
Thank
you.
H
A
I
Hello
to
council
and
to
staff
I'm
speaking
you're,
not
again
about
the
L
Street
linear
path.
We
have
an
online
petition
and
then
also
a
a
written
petition.
That's
circulator,
I.
Think
I
told
you
about
at
the
last
meeting
and
just
wanted
to
update
that
the
October
18th
Transportation
safety
committee
meeting.
I
They
reaffirmed
their
recommendation
to
destinate
L
street
Corridor
as
a
linear
Park
and
to
eliminate
it
as
a
L
Street
couplet,
from
consideration
of
the
complete
streets
and
at
the
October
12th
Park
and
Recreation
committee,
and
the
chair
did
request
to
bring
L
Street
linear
Park
to
their
next
agenda
on
November
9th
meeting,
and
with
that
in
mind
walking
the
path
you
may
have
spotted
signs,
crafted
by
Aaron's
kids,
Rails
to
Trails
not
rails
to
Road.
I
The
adage
speaks
volumes
to
the
L
Street
Corridor
and
fuels
the
fire
to
have
it
designated
as
a
linear
Park.
The
LSP
pathway
is
presently
classified
as
rails
with
Trails
as
opposed
to
rails.
Two
Trails.
The
former
allows
the
rail
line
to
exist
next
to
a
bike
path.
The
corridor
holds
many
titles
beyond
the
L
Street
rails,
with
Trails
corridor
L
Street
vision
is
Rails
to
Trails
not
rails
to
roads
and
to
be
designated
as
a
linear
Park.
The
L
Street
couplet
relies
on
rail
banking.
I
The
now
defunct
North
Coast
rail
Authority
easement,
that
is
now
in
the
hands
of
the
great
Redwood
Trail.
Normally,
the
outcome
of
rail
banking
is
Rails
to
Trails
in
the
form
of
non-motorized
Trail
Corridor.
Instead,
it
is
proposed
that
the
easement
would
be
consumed
and
paved
over
as
in
addition
to
the
Open
Spaces.
I
The
corridor
holds
many
titles
down
street
Rails
to
Trails
and
is
the
primary
segment
of
a
Statewide
Trail
Network
Yale
Street
Rails
to
Trails
is
an
inactive
quarter
line
easement.
That
is
a
segment
of
the
great
Redwood
Trails,
a
contiguous
trail
that
will
stretch
North
from
San
Francisco,
proceeding
to
Arcata
and
Beyond
in
conjunction
with
the
coastal
Trail.
The
L
Street
pathway
is
a
major
Northern
Terminus
of
a
north-south
California
non-motorized
Corridor
transcalifornia
in
its
arcata's
contribution
to
the
humble
Bay
Trail
to
Arcade
it.
It
represents.
J
Good
evening,
council
members,
City
officials,
Glenn
Caldwell
here
talking
again
about
the
alliance,
foot
path,
nighttime
crime
and
vaginalism
issue
we're
before
you
two
weeks
ago
and
on
October
12th.
We
did
have
another
meeting
with
Emily
sinkhorn
and
Sarah
Schaefer
12
Neighbors
showed
up
at
that
meeting
at
five
people
took
time
out
of
there
out
of
their
busy
lives
to
do
this
because
it's
important
to
them
and
they
have
concerns.
J
We
discussed
neighborhood
issues
about
late
night
foot,
traffic,
vandalism
and
crime
related
to
The
Alliance
footpath
cincorn
informed
us
that
maintenance
has
been
scheduled
on
the
path
for
November
I
would
until
a
policy
is
formulated,
to
address
criminal
activity
on
this
and
similar
paths
in
the
city
of
Arcata
to
address
law
enforcement
issues.
J
Until
addressed,
our
neighborhood
will
continue
to
experience,
vandalism
and
theft
perpetrated
by
late
night
and
early
morning,
criminals
casing
our
neighborhood.
Our
neighborhood
will
continue
to
advocate
for
securing
and
gating
this
footpath
and
closing
it
sunset
to
Sunrise
in
the
intern.
I've
received
paperwork
from
Emily
sincorum
to
become
a
park
Steward
which
may
allow
me
to
obtain
graffiti
abatement
supplies
from
the
city
I
plan
to
follow
up
and
use
my
personal
time
to
address
vandalism
graffiti
and
dumping
on
the
footpath
in
front
of
my
house.
J
Our
next
step
will
likely
be
a
petition
signed
by
our
neighbors
to
advocate
for
getting
the
footpath
and
closing,
at
sunrise
to
sunset,
I
hope,
you're
open
to
those
concerns.
I
hope
you
are
hearing
us
we're
not
going
to
go
away.
We're
going
to
keep
coming
before
you
to
try
to
figure
out
what
the
best
solution
here
is.
J
I
really
would
like
to
see
that
happen
in
our
neighborhood.
The
Westwood
Garden
Apartment
Complex
by
Mr
strombeck,
proposed
just
down
below
at
the
base
of
this
footpath,
we'll
put
potentially
a
lot
more
people
on
that
footpath.
There
are
options.
There
are
options
to
the
north
and
options
to
the
South.
J
We
were
told
that
this
footpath
is
a
natural
resource,
footpath
and
therefore
the
city's
not
concerned
about
liability
that
it's
kind
of
used
at
your
own
risk,
although
it
doesn't
say
that
I
I
hope
that's
true,
I'd
hate
to
see
our
taxpayer
dollars
go
to
defending
injury
lawsuits
or
that
kind
of
thing
on
this
footpath,
which
is
steep
and
not
really
accessible
to
all
of
our
community.
Thank
you.
J
Advising
caution
before
the
city
puts
more
money
into
this
footpath
because
there
are
no
I
can't
find
any
policies,
City
policies
addressing
crime,
vandalism
and
that
sort
of
thing
on
these
type
of
footpaths.
This
isn't
the
only
one,
but
this
is
one
I'm
most
concerned
about,
because
it's
right
in
front
of
my
house.
K
J
L
L
There's
an
important
I'm
saying
that
I
want
to
talk
about
today,
city
council,
which
is
about
Unity
I'm,
originally
from
Los
Angeles,
and
just
over
a
week
ago,
National
headlines
were
made
in
Los
Angeles
or
three
City
Council
Members
partaking
in
races,
anti-black
and
hateful
rhetoric
to
attack
various
more
originalized
communities.
To
those
who
are
aware
of
this
event,
I
think
we
can
all
agree
that
language
and
behavior
is
inexcusable
I'm
connecting
this
to
this
city
council
to
continue
in
emphasizing
the
value
of
its
own
solidarity
to
our
marginalized
communities
in
Arcata.
L
Recently,
we've
seen
forms
of
hate
speech
that
has
attacked
the
Hispanic
community
in
the
city.
Not
only
is
that,
last
year,
as
there
were
anti-lgbt
attacks
in
the
city,
these
observations
of
attacks
towards
a
variety
of
marginalized
communities
show
that
there
is
still
a
cultural
and
hateful
divides
within
the
city.
We
can
overcome
this
in
whatever
way
possible.
I
think
that
the
city
through
local
government
action,
can
continue
you
to
bridge.gov
to
bring
equality.
L
Some
examples
can
include
I'm
having
inclusive
educational,
cultural
workshops,
having
passing
a
resolution
or
ordinance
that
protects
people
from
discrimination
based
on
gender
identity
and
expression.
If
some
of
what
I've
stated
is
already
happening
great,
but
if
that's
not
the
case,
I
greatly
appreciate
it.
If
we
can
continue
the
progression
of
unity
and
equality,
I
bring
awareness
to
the
city
council
to
recognize
and
down
the
line,
bring
efforts
of
inclusivity
that
will
continue
to
have
a
safe
and
warm
environment
for
our
marginalized
communities.
Thank
you
have
a
good
day.
M
Have
a
couple
comments
in
response:
oh,
if
I
may
just
quickly,
you
know
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
we've
heard
some.
You
know
really
serious
concerns
from
our
community
crime
on
the
Plaza.
The
sunset
trail-
and
you
know,
I
feel
like
the
appropriate
thing
to
do,
and
what
would
typically
be
done
in
another
city
would
be
to
agendaize
these
items
for
future
public
discussion
and
to
make
sure
action's
taken.
You
know
our
community
is
basically
begging
us
to
help
them
with
these
issues.
M
A
All
right
and
yes,
I
turned
my
mic
on
to
to
say
thank
you
and
also
that
for
the
people
that
were
here
about
the
downtown
area,
I
have
been
working
extensively
with
Merchants
downtown
and
the
police
and
I
will
reach
out
to
both
of
you
guys
to
be
included
in
that
and
we're
we're
trying
we
are,
but
we
need
to
do
better.
I
hear.
N
You
can
I,
add
Stacy
I
just
know
that
upcoming
on
an
agenda,
we
will
have
an
update
on
the
new
community
ambassador
program,
which
I
know
is
going
to
be
a
big
part,
moving
forward
of
trying
to
work
on
the
safety,
on
the
plaza
in
a
way
that
you
know
is
keeping
people
present
and
keeping
eyes
on
what's
going
on,
so
it
has
been
agendized
and
I
hope
we
can.
You
know,
continue
this
robust
discussion.
A
Okay,
so
next
we
have
the
consent,
calendar
and
all
matters
on
the
consent.
Calendar
are
considered
to
be
routine
by
the
city
council
and
are
enacted
in
one
motion.
There
is
no
separate
discussion
of
any
of
these
items
if
discussion
is
required,
that
item
is
removed
from
the
consent,
calendar
and
considered
separately.
At
the
end
of
the
reading
of
the
consent,
calendar
council,
members
or
members
of
the
public
can
request
that
an
item
be
removed
for
separate
discussion.
A
We
have
a
approved
the
minutes
of
the
city
council,
meeting
of
October
5th
2022
B
bi-weekly
report
on
disbursements,
C
award
a
contract
in
the
amount
of
one
million,
nine
hundred
thirty,
two
thousand
eight
hundred
and
ninety
dollars
to
Corolla
Engineers
Incorporated
for
the
Engineering
Services
during
construction
for
phase
one
of
the
Arcata
wastewater
treatment
facilities,
Improvement
project
and
authorize
the
city
manager
to
execute
all
applicable
documents.
D
reject
all
bids
for
the
annual
sidewalk
Improvement
project,
2022
and
rebid
the
project.
A
N
Don't
know
didn't
hear
you
say
a
okay
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
Item
B
on
the
consent,
calendar.
A
Okay,
do
we
have
any
public
comment
on
this
item?
O
A
Aye
all
right
motion
passes:
okay,
let's
just
start
with
a
council
member
Watson.
M
Yeah
so
I
was
looking
through
the
meeting
minutes
and
for
the
item
on
the
wastewater
treatment
plant.
It
looked
like
pretty
much
everyone's
comments
for
the
meeting
were
included,
except
for
mine.
I
did
not
see
a
single
accounting
of
anything.
I
said
during
that
item,
including
my
reasoning
for
voting
against
it,
and
so
I
do
believe
my
comments
fit
in
the
format
of
action
minutes
that
we
take.
M
They
were
on
topic
and
it's
pretty
reasonable
to
have.
You
know
my
reasons
for
being
the
only
no
vote
on
the
project
included,
so
maybe
I'm
missing
it.
Please
tell
me
if
I'm
missing
it
in
there
and
it
doesn't
see
it
but
yeah.
If
that's
the
case,
then
I
request
that
we
delay
approving
this
item
until
we
can
get
those
minutes
updated
to
be
accurate
to
the
record.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
so
does
that
seem
reasonable
to
everybody
to
set
that
aside
and
bring
it
back
next
week?
Yeah!
That's
fine
with
me!
Okay,
we'll
we'll
bring
that
back
next
week,
council
member
Watson
I
mean
next
meeting
not
next
week.
Thank.
A
Sure,
okay
item
C.
M
A
F
Hi,
my
name,
my
name
is
Joanne
McGarry
and
I
was
at
the
meeting
where
this
huge
amount
of
money
was
being
discussed
and
approved
after
a
long,
long
time
of
development
and
getting
bids
etc
for
a
phase
one
aspect
of
the
Arcata
Marsh
sewage
treatment
plant.
So
when
I
saw
this
on
the
agenda,
I'm
trying
to
understand
again
it's
a
huge
amount
of
money
to
consent,
calendar
for
some
reason
and
I
I
would
appreciate
an
explanation
of.
Why
is
this
part
of
that
154
million
dollars
that
we
approved
last
week?
Or
is
this
something
different?
F
This
is
a
huge
issue.
It's
a
huge
project
and
just
going
through
it
on
a
consent,
calendar
really
sort
of
bothers
me
and
as
a
citizen
who
is
really
concerned
about
the
future
of
our
infrastructure,
including
the
sewage
treatment
plant,
I
would
really
like
some
better
description
and
understanding
of
why
this
is
on
the
agenda
and
what
it
means.
So.
Thank
you.
D
D
So
this
total
project
is,
is
you
know
getting
close
to
100
million
when
you
look
at
it
all,
so
what
I
would
my
concern
is
that
a
number
of
years
ago
I
mean
this
was
brought
up
that
why
we
didn't
look
at
what
the
cost
of
a
new
plan
is,
because
that's
the
direction
we're
going
to
be
forced
to
do
in
the
future.
There's
there's
no
other
choice.
We're
going
to
have
to
do
this
at
some
point.
D
So,
instead
of
spending
a
lot
of
money,
we
should
have
made
possibly
looked
at
what
we
have
to
do
right
now.
Anyway,
as
far
as
the
coastal
commission
demanding
us
to
do
a
sea
level
rise
and
where
that
plant
could
eventually
go,
but
we
should
have
done
it
a
while
ago
and
seeing
what
the
costs
were.
It
was
a
lot
less
even
a
few
years
ago.
D
But
it
just
seems
from
the
standpoint
of
of
the
bidding
process
that
you
know
we're
getting
ones
and
twos,
and
even
last
week,
most
of
most
the
time
was
spent
on
the
potential
litigation,
because
you
had
one
particular
bidder
that
was
quite
upset.
So
you
know
it
looks
sounded
like
it
was
pretty
messy.
I,
don't
know
I'm,
not
a
lawyer,
but
it
was.
D
It
seemed
like
a
pretty
messy
thing,
and
that
was
one
of
the
reasons
why
he
probably
should
have
delayed
your
vote,
because
you
had
questions
there
and-
and
you
didn't
seem,
like
you
even
really
had
enough
time
to
for
the
staff
to
address
those.
So
you
made
the
decision
but
My
overall
view
of
this
is
I,
don't
know,
maybe
it's
not
very
good
planning
for
the
city
and
it's
a
lot
of
money.
D
We
tend
to
look
at
the
federal
government
as
a
pity,
a
piggy
bank
and
I'm
starting
to
understand
why
we're
trillions
of
dollars
in
deficit,
because
we
we
act
kind
of
like
when
we
get
it
from
the
state
or
the
federal
government.
It's
like
free
money,
but
we're
all
citizens
of
the
U.S
and
it's
a
lot
of
money
and
we
should
be
paying
more
attention
to
it.
Thanks.
A
Okay,
so
oh
and
just
item
C,
the
the
bid
amount,
Joan
I
believe
that
is,
and
that's
a
separate,
that's
in
addition
to
last
week's
last
week
was
just
the
contract
for
that.
So
that
is
in
addition
to
that
all
right.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second.
P
C
C
There
are
a
couple
of
items,
specific
items
that
the
grant
won't
cover,
but
right
now
it
looks
like
you
know:
we're
estimating
80
plus
will
be
covered
by
state
and
federal
Clean,
Water,
Act,
Monies
sure.
A
Q
R
Okay,
so
good
evening,
council
members,
Emily
synchron
Environmental
Services
director
at
your
last
meeting,
we
discussed
the
phase
one
Rehabilitation
project
and
it's
immediate
imperative
need
to
replace
aging
critical
infrastructure.
That
is,
you
know
getting
into
the
for
40
year.
Old,
head
works
and
other
key
infrastructure,
as
well
as
really
to
meet
key
water
quality
standards
and
with
upgrading
the
UV
disinfection
system,
and
so
that
is
the
real
imperative
need
for
this
phase.
R
One
project
and
the
Engineering
Services
during
construction
are
with
a
project
of
this
size
is
really
anticipated
to
be
a
lot
of
heavy
lift
that
we
don't
have
the
internal
capacity
to
do.
The
bid
or
proposal
came
in.
We
were
anticipating
costs
up
to
five
percent
of
construction
costs.
This
is
about
3.5
percent
of
construction
cost,
so
that
is
within
what
we
were
planning
for
and
is
a
eligible
expense
through
that
srf
grant
or
loan
funding.
R
M
Yeah
so
I
guess
I
I
kind
of
had
a
question
for
Emily
about
it
being
within.
You
know
estimated
costs
because
you
know,
like
I,
stated
at
the
last
meeting
phase,
one
was
initially
described
as
being
you
know,
maybe
30
million
dollars
in
all
of
phase
one
and
two
together
were
55
million
and
I
didn't
I,
don't
recall
any
discussion
with
the
public,
any
discussion
with
the
council
since
then
about
the
cost.
M
Basically,
doubling
we
raised
people's
rates
across
the
city
based
off
of
a
55
million
dollar
price
tag,
and
that
really
impacts
a
lot
of
people
in
our
community
that
are
on
you
know,
fixed
incomes
and
any
increase
to
their
living
expenses
really
hits
them
hard.
So
you
know
I.
It
seems
pretty
reasonable
to
assume
that
now
that
the
project
has
essentially
doubled
in
cost
that
we
will
have
to
raise
rates
again.
M
So
that's
also
another
discussion,
we're
not
having
and
you
know,
I
think
to
some
extent
it's
like
we
have
to
be
able
to
look
at
the
science
ourselves
and
look
at
the
experts
ourselves
and
taking
that
information
and
make
decisions
for
ourselves
and
not
just
say
you
know,
kind
of
pass
the
buck
to
other
agencies
and
to
other
people.
You
know
I
mean
it's
our
job
to
make
these
decisions
in
the
end,
and
you
know
the
California
Coastal
commission.
To
some
extent
you
know
they.
You
know
they're
under
pressure
to.
M
Let
us
move
this
this
thing
forward
and
you
know
they're
hearing
from
us.
Well,
we
must
do
it.
We
have
to
do
it.
You
know
we
waited
too
long,
so
I
mean
they're
kind
of
letting
us
dig
our
own
grave,
because
it's
very
unlikely
they're
not
going
to
tell
us
to
relocate
the
facility
based
off
of
their
past
decisions
and
it's
the
same
thing
with
the
regional
water
to
Quality
Control
work.
You
know
they
told
us
to
study
relocating
the
facility
in
2055.
Isn't
that
far
away?
You
know
I
mean
it's!
M
It's
really
close,
and
you
know
my
latest
line
about
this
is
I
feel
like
we
voted
to
put
55
million
dollars
under
the
Pacific
Ocean
and
we're
going
to
have
to
pay
double
for
this
all
again.
In
the
end,
when
we're
forced
to
relocate
the
facility.
K
O
M
S
O
A
I
just
had
a
little
I
mean
I
get
it
now,
but
there
was
a
little
bit
of
confusion
just
with
the
numbers
and
the
way
it
was
written.
So
if
you
could
just
explain
real
quick,
that
would.
Q
Be
great
yeah,
yeah,
absolutely
yeah
I
was
reading
through
it
later
and
recognize
the
same
thing
so
yeah.
Hopefully,
I
can
clear
this
up
a
little
bit,
so
we
have
our
annual
sidewalk
a
little
closer
okay.
We
have
our
annual
sidewalk
Improvement
project
every
year
and
we
generally
budget
for
around
a
hundred
thousand
dollars,
and
so
it
varies
from
year
to
year.
Q
But
this
year
we
had
a
hundred
thousand
set
aside
for
this
specific
project,
but
we
also
had
fifty
thousand
dollars
set
aside
for
some
improvements
on
just
to
the
west
side
of
pla,
the
Plaza
on
G
Street,
between
8th
and
9th
and
so
in
a
similar
type
work
where
we
have
some
sidewalk
work
and
some
tree
removal
and
some
tree
planting,
and
so
it
made
sense
to
join
these
two
projects
to
a
certain
degree
kind
of
to
save
money
on
prices
and
essentially
get
economy
of
scale.
Q
And
so
we
took
approximately
thirty
five
thousand
dollars
of
that.
Fifty
thousand
dollars
budget
and
combined
it
with
our
annual
sidewalk
Improvement
project
as
a
single
project,
and
so
we
essentially
had
about
135
000
budgeted
for
this
project,
and
so
when
we
bid
it,
then
the
low
bid
came
in
at
you
know,
round
numbers
about
185
000..
So
there's
that's
that
five.
Fifty
thousand
dollars
over
budget
number
that
you
see
in
the
staff
report.
A
P
P
Right
so
I'll
make
a
motion
to
reject
all
bids
for
the
annual
sidewalk
improvements,
project,
2022
and
rebid.
The
project
I'll.
N
F
F
You
know
I
I've
come
and
reported
some
sidewalk
issues
a
couple
of
times
to
the
city
and
they
had
to
look
it
up
on
a
map,
and
they
said
well
thanks
for
coming
in
and
letting
us
know,
and
then
of
course,
weeks
go
by
months
go
by
and
that
same
issue
on
the
sidewalk
is
there
and
it
would
just
be
sort
of
nice
if
the
city,
when
I
a
citizen,
comes
up
to
ask
about
something
they
say.
F
B
M
A
Aye,
okay,
great!
Thank
you!
That's
unanimous!
Okay,
so
that
takes
us
to
Old
business
and
this
is
to
provide
direction
for
amendments
to
the
short
stay
vacation
rental
program.
So
I'm
sure
that
you
all
notice
their
staff
has
a
lot
of
questions
for
us
regarding
this.
A
So
as
far
as
process
goes
because
I
I
feel,
like
there'll,
be
a
lot
of
discussion
which
is
good,
so
I
thought
we
would
do
a
staff
report
and
then,
instead
of
just
kind
of
going
at
it
like
a
free-for-all
and
especially
with
having
one
council
member
on
Zoom,
which
makes
it
harder
to
participate,
I
think
we'll
just
go
by
question
by
question.
That's
on
there
and
we'll
kind
of
do
it
in
an
orderly
fashion
and
then
that
way,
we'll
all
get
a
voice
and
I
think
we'll
just
go
through
see.
T
Great
thank
you,
mayor
David,
Lloyd,
director
of
Community,
Development
and
I,
appreciate
the
approach
that
you
outlined
tonight
and
I
would
also
offer
that
you
know
I'll
have
a
short
staffed
report
and
then
have
very
few
comments
on
each
section.
Just
to
give
you
some
input
from
you
know
what
we've
learned
from
the
public,
so
the
short
stay
vacation
rental
programs
about
a
year
and
a
half
getting
close
to
two
years
old.
Now,
ordinance
1545
was
adopted
in
2021
and
in
June
of
2022.
T
The
staff
brought
to
city
council,
some
recommendations
for
change
and
the
city
council
did
provide
some
feedback
at
that
time.
But
we
hadn't
notified
anybody
of
those
potential
changes.
We
hadn't
done
any
kind
of
Outreach
or
engagement,
which
is,
of
course
very
important
to
the
city,
and
so
since
that
time,
we've
done
a
lot
of
stakeholder
engagement
reaching
out
to
individuals
who
would
reach
out
to
us
notifying
the
individual
permit.
Holders
of
pending
changes
worked
with
staff
to
get
suggestions
for
for
changes.
T
There
was
some
interest
in
having
deeper
detailed
dive
on
the
transient
occupancy
tax
and
how
that's
collected
some
folks
wanted
to
have
the
platforms
that
they
operate
under
whether
it's
VRBO
or
Airbnb
collect
the
tax
for
them
and
remit
that,
and
since
that
time,
the
input
that
we've
received
from
operators
included
a
a
stakeholder
meeting
in
October
we've
gotten
a
lot
of
input.
There
are
some
concerns
about
clustering
of
sites.
The
signs
were
universally.
T
That's
been
an
issue
for
for
operators,
a
lot
of
confusion
and
rejection
of
those
ideas,
and
then
also
there
was
some
pushback
on
eliminating
the
owner
owner
occupancy
exemption
from
the
folks
that
attended,
and
so
with
that
I'd
just
like
to
jump
into
the
individual
topics.
I
tried
to
organize
them
from
sort
of
a
priority
strategy
that
would
allow
us
to
you
know,
leverage
earlier
decisions
here
and
the
first
one
is
whether
to
address
the
exemptions.
T
Should
the
long-term
tenant
exemption
be
eliminated
and
then
those
who
have
long-term
tenants
if
they
wish
to
operate
short,
stay
vacation
rentals
they
would
be
subject
to
the
cap.
Should
the
exemption
for
owner
occupancy
be
eliminated,
many
people
indicated
in
the
Outreach
that
they
actually
derive
additional
income.
We
had
Realtors
provide
input
that
you
know.
T
Some
folks
are
having
a
hard
time
getting
into
their
first
home
in
Arcata,
and
this
provides
them
revenues
to
to
be
able
to
get
established
in
Arcata
and
then,
if
one
or
both
of
those
exemptions
are
eliminated,
do
you
want
to
fold
those
into
the
cap?
T
Do
you
want
to
increase
the
cap
or
you
know,
or
how
do
you
want
to
address
the
fact
that
currently
we
have
about
a
hundred
and
approximately
180
plus
permits,
either
in
or
being
issued
with
approximately
90
95
of
those
being
subject
to
the
cap
and
the
balance
being
folks
who
have
some
sort
of
an
exemption,
whether
it's
an
owner
occupancy
exemption
or
a
long-term
tenant
exemption?
T
P
Sure
start
I
guess
thank
you
for
that.
I
appreciate
everybody
that
took
the
time
to
write
in
again
I'm
sorry,
I,
read
that
that
meeting
that
you
had
was
on
Yom
Kippur,
so
I'm
kind
of
bummed
about
that.
But
I
would
like
to
add
that
you
know
in
this
time
we
have
turned
three
hotels
into.
P
Housing,
so
that
really
puts
a
lot
of
there's
a
need:
I
guess
for
people
to
stay
in
Arcata
and
I
think
that,
right
now
you
know
these
short-term
and
long-term
RC
rentals
are
you
know,
filling
that
Gap
right
now
and
keeping
people
in
Arcata
shopping
at
our
stores.
Going
to
our
restaurants
and
I
mean
I
mean
there's
that's
how
many
rooms
are
in
all
those
three
hotels
that
we've
just
eliminated
so
I
mean
my
initial
thoughts
would
to
keep
the
exemptions
for
the
long-term
Tendencies
Tendencies
and
for
the
Occupy
owner
occupied
I.
A
Okay,
great,
so
we
have
that
go
ahead.
Vice
mayor
Schaefer,
you
want
to
go.
N
Next,
okay,
we're
just
going
to
go
question
by
question
online,
perfect,
okay,
I
think
that
that
it
is
it's
a
very
different
situation
of
having
a
long-term
tenant
and
then
also
having
an
Airbnb
on
that
property
within
that
house.
Then
being
somebody
that
lives
in
the
house
and
is
there
in
a
nice,
you
know
face
to
greet
a
guest
coming
in
who
you
know
runs
on
Airbnb,
I
I.
Think
if
I
see
Bob
in
the
audience
here,
you
know
who,
who
it
lives
locally,
knows
a
lot
about.
N
What's
going
on
and
likes
to
welcome
somebody
into
their
home
and
kind
of
play
host,
but
not
necessarily
I
think
people
that
are
long-term
tenants
like
that
I'm
I
know
a
couple:
people
that
are
renters
that
also
have
airbnbs
on
their
property
and
it's
really
frustrating
actually
for
some
of
those
long-term
tenants
and
so
I
think
that's
a
very
different
situation,
so
I
would
be
more
inclined
to
say.
Yes,
we
should
get
rid
of
the
exemption
for
the
long-term
tenancy,
but
keep
the
exemption
for
owner
occupied.
N
If
that
is
possible
and
not
too
complicated,
I
don't
know
David.
If
you
think
that
would
be
too
complicated,
but
I
think
that
it
is
just
a
very
different
situation
and
you
know
thinking
of
the
housing
market
and
just
you
know
what
somebody
would
want
to
do
with
a
property
that
they're
already
renting
out
and
then
also
operate
in
Airbnb
all
night.
N
It
just
creates
a
bit
it's
a
different
situation
in
my
mind,
so
I
don't
know
if
that
would
create
more
of
a
clunky
difficult
thing,
but
that
would
be
the
direction
that
I
would
want
to
go.
T
Yeah
that
would
be
easy
enough
to
operate.
In
fact,
it
would
simplify
any
exemption
that
we
eliminate
simplifies
our
operation
of
it.
There
are
a
very
few
number
of
permit
holders
that
have
multiple
units
on
a
site.
You
know
three
four
11
units
on
a
site
and
operate
the
majority
of
those
short
stay
vacation
rentals
and
have
you
know
just
like
one
long-term
tenant,
so
it
was
kind
of
an
unexpected
outcome
from
the
original
intent
of
the
legislation.
N
I
feel
like
what
you
just
said
too,
is
something
that
people
probably
try
to
do
to
get
the
exemption
as
well
like
I'll,
have
one
long-term
tenant,
but
then
I
can
rent
out
the
the
rest
as
Airbnb
and
operate
it
that
way.
So
it
is,
you
know,
kind
of
to
me
an
obvious
loophole
in
the
in
the
system
and
kind
of
takes
away
that
homey
nice
Airbnb.
You
know
having
a
nice
host
that
wants
to
welcome
you
to
their
Community
Factor,
so
yeah,
that's
the
way.
I
would
go
on
that.
One.
A
Sure
I'll
go
next,
oh
I'm,
gonna
complicate
it.
I
was
my
initial.
My
initial
response
for
that
is
similar
to
councilmember
Matthews
as
a
as
a
no
but
I'm
flexible.
On
that
one
number
two
I'm
really
I'm
a
hard.
No
on
that
one.
So
if
it's,
if
we're
negotiating
I
will
be
happy
to
give
you
your
I
I
can
go.
Yes,
I'll
go
either
way
on
that,
one.
If
that
you
know,
makes
it
easier.
K
Well,
when
I
had
long-term
or
short
stay
rentals,
they
weren't
on
my
they
were
on
my
property,
but
they
weren't
on
my
where
I
lived
and
so
and
then
I
had
other
tenants
there.
So
you
know
I
talking
to
people
about
this
I.
Just
so
that's
how
I
ran
it,
but
I
know
other
people
run
it
where
there's
actually
I
don't
run
any
of
them
anymore.
I
have
nothing
but
I.
Think
if
you're,
it's
sort
of
like
almost
like
a
bed
and
breakfast.
K
If
you're
going
to
have
you're
going
to
be
living
on
your
property,
and
you
also
have
an
air,
Airbnb
or
short
stay
rental,
then
it's
more
inclusive
right
now,
I
received
a
complaint
recently
for
a
property.
That
is
no
one
slip.
No
one
lives
there
with
the
property.
So
it's
probably
one
of
the
numerous
people
that
have
bought
buildings
or
houses
here
and
they
use
them
part
of
the
year
and
the
rest
of
the
year.
K
They
make
them
into
short
stay
rentals
and
they
come
for
six
months
and
rent
them
out
for
six
months
and
that
way
they
can
pay
for
it.
And
so
then
you
don't
really
have
much
well.
This
person
is
really
frustrated
because
he
called
and
he
never
got
any
help.
It's
no
smoking
right
next
door
to
him.
They're
all
smoking,
supposedly
no
partying
they're
all
parting
and
he
got
no
help
from
the
people
that
were
managing
it.
K
A
K
K
I
see
what
you're
saying
I,
but
it
could
go
back.
C
A
A
We
are
we'll
go
in
different
orders
too.
So
should
the
exemption
for
owner
occupancy
be
eliminated?
Well,
we
just
hold.
A
Yep,
let's
do
let's
talk
about
item
number
two
and
then
we'll
do
public
comment.
P
But
okay,
so
if
we
are
eliminating
the
exemption
for
long
term,
then
do
we
need
to
decide
now
on
number
three
with
the
cap
should
be.
Am
I
interested
in
that
correctly
well,.
T
You
can
address
number
two
and
then,
depending
on
whether
you
keep
that
exemption
or
or
eliminate
it,
you
may
have
a
different
response
on
what
the
cap
should
be.
A
Yeah
I
think,
if
we,
if
we
want
to,
if
we're
my
goal,
is
to
try
to
work
our
way
through
this
and
come
up
with
something
that
we
can
all
vote
on,
and
so
then,
if
we're
doing
it
that
way,
that's
we'll
go
for
that.
It
might
not
work
if
we're
doing
it.
That
way,
then
we'll
just
take
public
comment.
After
we've
talked
about
all
this
and
then
we
can
revisit
things.
Does
that
seem?
A
Okay,
all
right,
I
know
it
seems
complicated,
but
actually
thank
you
director
Loya
for
breaking
it
down
like
this,
because
he
foresaw
what
a
nightmare
it
would
have
been
if
there
had
not
been
individual
questions.
So
it
looks
like
we
are
all
in
agreement
on
number
one
for
now.
A
K
I
think
it
should
be
included,
I
mean
it
should
not.
You
should
not
be
eliminated
just
because
you
live
in
your
house
and
you've,
converted
portion
of
your
house
or
your
garage
or
built
in
Adu
and
I.
Don't
think
it
should
be
eliminated.
A
Okay,
so
you
want
you
think
people
should
still
have
that
exemption.
Okay,
let's
go
to
council
member
Watson.
M
K
M
Yeah
I'm
just
just
to
clarify
a
little
bit
so
to
include
them.
Then
we
eliminate
the
exemption
right,
correct,
okay,
yeah
yeah.
A
And
council
member
Watson
just
to
be
the
the
reason
that
I'm
saying
no
is
I
just
feel
like
that
you
know
like
a
homeowner
should
be
able
to
do
that
to
supplement
their
their
income.
So
that's
why
that's
why
I've
got
a
no
on
it.
M
Sure
yeah
I
mean
you
know
when
we
originally
came
up
with
this
I.
My
memory
is,
you
know
anybody
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong,
it's
kind
of
the
intent
was
you
know
where
the
target
were
properties
that
were
entirely
getting
converted
into
airbnbs
and
complaints.
We
were
getting
for
neighborhoods,
they
you
know
felt
like
I
mean
you
know,
I
think
even
Mike
Wilson
had
you
know,
brought
it
up
to
me
and
and
promoted
doing
this.
He
wanted
the
cap
as
low
as
possible.
He
felt
like
that.
M
His
neighborhood
was
getting
taken
over
with
these
operations
and
but
you
know,
if
you
have
a
homeowner
on
site
or
if
you
have
a
long-term
tenant,
you
know
in
some
instances
just
doubles
are
just
examples
of
how
it
can
kind
of
change
that
vibe
from
just
a
straight.
You
know
mini
Hotel
into
being
part
of
the
neighborhood,
so
I'm,
okay,
with
leaving
the
exemption
on
that
one
and
yeah.
Those
are
my
thoughts
on
that.
Thanks.
N
My
my
piece
before
just
that
idea,
similar
to
what
councilmember
Watson
just
said
that
yeah,
if
it's
part
of
the
neighborhood
and
if
it's
you,
know
this
idea
of
having
a
host
kind
of
who
who
takes
care
of
the
place
and
welcomes
the
person
in
I.
Think
that's
the
original,
like
intent
of
what
an
Airbnb
kind
of
is
and
so
I
think
that
no,
we
should
not
eliminate
the
exemption
I'm
going
to
use
the
language
that
you
used
in
here.
K
Yes,
but
you
know
it's
okay
for
some
people
that
have
an
attachment,
a
unit
attached
to
their
house
to
get
insurance.
I
I
had
a
friend
that
went
through
that
and
she
was
not
able
to
really
find
insurance
if
it's
attached
to
your
house-
and
so
it's
always
made
me
think
about
the
fact
that
I
have
two
apartments
on
my
property.
K
The
one
behind
me
would
not
ever
be
able
to
be
one,
because
I
would
be
able
to
get
insurance
for
it,
but
the
one
above
the
garage
I
could
because
it's
not
attached
to
my
house.
So
there
are
difficulties
with
insurance.
That's
something
we
didn't
discuss
about
insurance
when
we
met
with
everybody
and
I'm
wondering
how
they're
doing
that.
A
T
Yeah
we
have,
we
have
several
properties
that
are
currently
fall
under
that
exemption
for
long-term
tenancy,
and
so,
if
that's
eliminated,
I
guess
the
two
things
that
I
would
point
out
with
any
of
these
changes.
If
it
affects
the
individuals
who
currently
have
a
permit,
you
know
have
a
license
under
that.
You
know.
T
So,
regardless
of
what
you
do
with
changing
the
cap
on
this
I
guess,
I
would
point
that
out
first,
that
you
try
and
introduce
this
slowly
for
folks
in
terms
of
raising
or
lowering
the
cap,
I
mean
I
think
to
councilmember
Matthews
point.
We
did
have
140
units
of
hotel
rooms
taken
offline
with
the
the
home
key
projects.
We
did
see
an
uptick.
T
Historically,
we
had,
you
know,
100
to
125
as
sort
of
the
the
natural
limit
that
we,
you
know
were
aware
of
anyway,
and
we've
seen
a
an
uptick
in
the
number
of
short
stay
vacation
rentals
since
those
Hotel
closures
and
so
I
think
there
is
a
little
bit
of
a
relationship
there.
Some
of
the
public
also
brought
this
forward
in
our
stakeholder
engagement,
and
so
you
know,
I
do
think
that
the
the
specific
number
is
really
I'm.
I
don't
have
a
recommendation
per
se.
T
It
really
is
a
policy
decision
about
how
many
of
What
proportion
of
the
city's
housing
stock
you
know.
Do
you
want
to
see
you
know
converted
to
these
uses
when
you
have
an
exemption.
That
means
that
there's
always
going
to
be
an
unknown.
You
know
anyone
who
has
you
know
home.
All
of
the
you
know.
T
Theoretically,
the
the
maximum
is
any
owner
could
then
have
one
and
that's
a
pretty
significant
chunk
of
the
the
the
housing
stock,
but
we
haven't
really
seen
that
so
I
think
you
know
anything
in
the
range
of
you
know
100
to
150,
which
I
think
is
what
you
were
contemplating
before.
As
a
cap
is,
is
appropriate.
N
Ask
a
question,
because
you,
you
said
about
140
units
for
the
home
key
and
and
then
also
I
mean
how
many
units
of
the
Comfort
Inn
is
Cal.
Poly
taking
up
as
well
I
mean
that
takes
that
off
of
our
plates
as
well.
So
that's
an
additional
chunk
of
hotel
rooms.
K
And
also
that'll
be
available
again
for
occupants
Travelers
in
the
summer,
so
they'll
they'll
put
it
back
the
way
it
was
in
the
sum
for
regular.
You
know
Transit
people
and
then
they'll
turn
it
back
into
student
housing
in
the
fall.
A
A
All
right,
council,
member
Stillman,
are
you
fine
Okay?
So
look
at
that
unanimous
all
the
way
through
those
all
right.
A
Okay,
so
we're
gonna
go
to
proximity,
I
think
that
kind
of
speaks
for
itself.
Unless
you
want
to
add
something.
The.
T
Only
thing
I
would
add
is
that
this
would,
you
know,
make
the
program
a
little
bit
more
complicated
to
operate.
We've
tried
to
simplify
it
as
as
much
as
possible
and,
depending
on
what
metric
the
council
decided
to
use
for
for
approximity
limit,
it
could
make
it
more
or
less
complicated.
I've
got
some
graphics.
T
If
you
want
to
explore
those
options,
I
think
you
probably
get
them
intuitively,
so
I
won't
show
them
unless
you're
really
interested,
but
this
was
something
that
you
know
in
particular
one
public
member
who
has
seen
a
number
of
units
in
their
neighborhood
convert
over
to
short
stay.
Rentals
you
know
is
experiencing
the
you
know
the
loss
of
the
the
you
know,
fabric
of
of
the
neighborhood.
You
know
the
the
neighbors
that
you
know,
and
you
know
talk
to
and
that
sort
of
thing
feels
particularly
impacted
I,
don't
know
how
pervasive
this
is.
T
I
know
that
there
are
from
the
the
graphics
that
we
showed
in
June
I
believe
that
the
the
distribution
is
pretty.
You
know
it's
pretty
spread
out
we're
not
seeing
a
like
a
one
part
of
town
where
there's
a
significant
clustering
but
I
think
on
the
neighborhood
level,
when
you
have
three
four
or
five
units
you
know
on
your
block,
you
know,
converter
over.
It
starts
to
feel
pretty
significant
at
that
neighborhood
scale.
K
I
was
going
to
say
when
the
fair
wins
becomes
supposedly
short
stay
if
they're
going
to
be
operating.
That
way,
that's
what
I
heard
at
one
time,
I
don't
know:
what's
happened
with
what
kind
of
Permitting
they've
done
in
the
city
of
Arcata,
but
then
they
they
have
I,
don't
know
how
many
rooms
or
how
they're
going
to
combine
them
or
what
they're
going
to
do
there.
Then
we
have
another
one
over
here.
That's
been
turned
that
way.
A
Difficult
to
do,
okay
got
it
council,
member
Watson.
A
We're
just
we're
just
trying
to
decide
whether
or
not
the
ordinance
should
include
a
proximity
limitation.
So
you
know
just
it
would
be
complicated,
but
to
look
at
it
you
know
neighborhood
by
neighborhood,.
M
M
A
N
M
Yeah
I
mean
I
feel,
like
you
know,
I,
guess
it's
a
yeah,
it's
a
hard
balance.
I
mean
if
it's
excessively
complex
for
the
staff,
then
to
me
that
disc,
you
know,
I
don't
know,
discourages
the
right
word,
but
you
know
makes
me
less
interested
in
doing
it.
M
K
So
I
think
some
of
the
neighbors
that
you
refer
to
are
thinking
of
Trinidad,
where
they
don't
have
very
many
people
living
there,
because
so
many
of
them
are
vacation
rentals
and
that
is
a
fear
that
we
would
eventually
lose
whole
neighborhoods
and
I.
Think
that's
something.
We'd
have
to
look
at
and
keep
track
of
and
see
how
that's
going
and
we'd
have
an
idea
when
they
come
in
with
their
permits
and
their
pain.
K
N
But
I
remember
looking
at
the
map
that
that
David
showed
at
our
meeting
before,
and
you
know
there
was
a
couple
little
clusterings
kind
of
in
the
downtown
area
and
like
one
street
and
sunny
Bray
that
looked
kind
of
clustery.
But
besides
that
the
rest
looked
pretty
spread
out
and
I
think.
K
A
great
suggestion,
but
also
I,
think
the
ones
that
are
in
the
downtown
clustering
in
the
downtown
it's
beneficial
because
they're
replacing
well,
you
know
we
have
the
hotel
and
they're
replacing
other
visitor
opportunities,
and
then
it
anyway
opens
up
more
opportunities
for
the
downtown
and
for
the
restaurants,
etc,
etc,
because
people
come
and
they
when
you
go
somewhere,
you
wander
all
around.
You
check
everything
out.
It's
a
lot
of
fun
and
I.
Think
that's
the
same
thing!
That's
how
people
look
when
I
see
them
on
the
streets
that
I've
never
seen
before.
A
Okay,
so
it
seems
like
we
are
all
on
the
same
page,
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
it
seems
as
though
we
think
yes,
it's
not
ideal
when
they
cluster,
but
it's
not
a
problem
yet
and
it
will
be
staff
intensive,
which
we
know
we
have
limitations
with
our
staff
time
so
I
think
for
now.
It
seems
like
we're
all
wanting
to
keep
this
as
a
no.
A
So
all
right
operator.
O
A
Was
going
to
do
but
then
you
all
said:
no,
that's
scary!
So
what
I?
What
we're
going
to
do
is
we're
giving
you
all
of
our
thoughts
and
then
when
we
get
to
the
end
before
we
vote.
We'll
have
public
comment
and
you
can
comment
on
any
of
these
things
and
then
I'll
open
it
back
up
to
council.
Did
we
want
to
change
our
mind
based
on
any
of
our
public
comments,
we'll
rediscuss
it
and
then
we'll
take
a
vote.
So
everybody
will
be
heard
all
right,
awesome,
okay,
operator
limitation.
T
So
this
is
this:
this
was
brought
up
again
as
a
means
of.
If
not,
you
know,
if
there
weren't
proximity
limitations
are
there,
you
know
owners
out
there
who
are
you
know,
taking
a
significant
proportion
of
these
opportunities
that
are
non-exempt,
so
you
know
operators
who
own
multiple
sites
within
the
city
of
Arcata,
again
I
think
you
know
this
would
be
something
that
you
know.
None
of
these
changes
are
impossible
for
staff
to
implement.
T
T
I,
don't
have
a
strong
recommendation
on
this
one.
We
we
could,
you
know
easily
implement
it.
It
was
something
that
came
up
as
a
recommendation
from
a
public
member,
so
we
put
it
forward.
The
question
is:
should
the
ordinance
include
a
limitation
on
the
number
of
permits
any
one
owner
can
possess.
A
Okay,
we'll
go
ahead
and
start
with
council
member
Watson.
You
can
go
first,
this
time.
M
M
A
P
Right
so
I
guess
how
are
there
as
how
many
operators
are
there
that
have
multiple
permits
and
out
of
those
like
what
is
the
number
of
the
permits
they
hold.
T
Yeah,
we
just
have
a
very
few
number
of
operators
who
have
multiple
properties,
the
majority
of
them.
You
know
I,
want
to
say
a
handful
like
fewer
than
six
have
multiple
properties.
T
So
this
isn't
a
this
isn't
pervasive
at
this
point
you
know
and
I
I
think
because
of
the
existing
distribution
of
of
permits.
You
know
the
way
that
they're
held.
Currently
it
would
it's
unlikely
that
you
would
see
you
know
a
consolidation
where
one
one
large
property
owner
had
a
majority
of
these.
These
permits.
K
Well,
I
do
I,
do
some
people
make
their
living
that
way
by
having
numerous
vacation
rentals
and
they
manage
them
all
and
that's
how
they
support
themselves
and
probably
the
one
that
has
so
many
units
that
you
mentioned.
That's
one
way
she
supports
herself
is
by
renting
out
renting
houses
and
then
using
them
as
short
stay.
K
N
Yeah,
no
I'm
a
a
no
on
that
one
and
just
yeah
I
think
if,
if
that's
somebody's
business
and
they
they
want
to
operate,
there's
people
that
enjoy
doing
that
and
and
like
it
and
that's
their
hustle
and
other
people
that
have
no
interest
in
it.
So
I
don't
think
you
know
we're
necessarily
pushing
people
out
that
would
I'm
trying
to
get
in
that
short
stay
rental
market
I!
Don't
think!
N
That's
that's
happening,
and
if
you
know
somebody
is
good
at
it
and
likes
operating
a
place,
then,
let's
let
them
continue
to
do
that
and
add
more
to
it.
So
I'm
I'm
I'm
a
no
on
that
one.
A
C
O
M
Yeah
no
and
I
get
the
argument
like
you
know,
free
market
and
let
people
make
it
a
big
business,
but
you
know
there
are.
There
were
a
lot
of
people
originally
that
were
opposed
to
the
cap,
because
you
know
they
wanted.
You
know
more
people
wanted
to
be
able
to
participate
in
it.
So
I,
don't
think.
There's
a
shortage
of
you
know.
People
that
want
to
participate
in
it.
I
think
it's
more
about.
M
You
know,
what's
best
for
the
consumers
and
what's
best
for
the
community,
and
you
know
usually
it's
you
know
it's
not
usually
seen
as
a
positive
when
you
know
any
one
person
or
business
or
entity,
you
know,
gets
majority
control
over
over
a
resource,
so
I
feel
like
we
should
have
a
cat.
But
if
you
guys
don't
want
to
do
it,
then
that's
okay,
I'll,
you
know
I'll
still
go
along
with.
Yes,.
A
Okay,
so
that
brought
up
a
clarifying
question
for
me
so
going
back
to
eliminating
the
cap
for
the
long
term,
so
that
means
now
we'll
be
at
130.
So
that
means
there
would
be
no
more
new
ones
unless
you're
an
exempt
so
to
be
clear,
a
homeowner
who
would
be
exempt
could
do
it
long-term.
You
could
do
that,
but
anybody
else
that's
not
doesn't
occupy
that
space
could
not
right.
Now.
C
A
P
A
Keeping
it's
a
hundred
yeah,
okay,
yeah!
So
that's
why
I
kind
of
want
to
revisit
the
overall
cap
since
we're
already
over
it
now,
and
we
can
kind
of
look
at
that
at
the
end,
all
right
so
councilmember
Watson
did
I,
hear
you
right
when
you
said
that
you
it's
not
gonna,
even
though
you're
the
one
dissenter
on
this,
it
won't
necessarily
change
your
overall
vote.
A
Okay,
so
so
far
we're
that's
a
no
on
that
one
phone
number:
okay,
so
it
takes
us
to
the
phone
number
I
think
so,
let's
go
ahead,
who
hasn't
gone
first,
yet,
okay,
I
I,
think
that
this
is
a
an
easy
one.
I
think
that
it
I
I
think
that
it
can
be
eliminated.
My
vote
is
yes,
council,
member
Stillman,
so.
K
I
I
feel
I
noticed
the
other
day
when
I
was
in
over
in
Sunset
area
that
somebody
had
a
piece
of
paper
this
size
with
their
phone
number
on
it
in
their
window,
and
so
it's
a
obviously
it's
a
vacation
rental
because
that's
a
requirement
but
I'm
thinking
is
it
possible
that
the
police
department
would
have
a
list
of
the
vacation
rentals,
and
so,
if
someone
said
we
have
this,
whatever
is
happening
at
such
and
such
a
dress,
they
would
be
able
to
see
that
or
is
that
just
another
layer.
N
T
I'd
have
to
check,
in
with
the
chief
to
see
how
they
would.
You
know,
maintain
that
information.
It's
certainly
something
that
we
can.
You
know
figure
out
and
come
back,
and
let
you
know
about
what
we've
found
is
that
we're
just
you
know
the
the
rationale
behind
this
is
you're
all
aware
of
is
to
make
it
so
that
the
homeowner
was
taking.
Those
calls
first,
instead
of
the
APD
I
mean
what
we
found
is
that
the
APD
just
aren't
getting
the
calls.
T
A
Okay,
so
let's
go
turn
your
mic
off.
A
Okay,
so
councilmember
Stillman
says
yes
to
that
one
as
well
council
member
Watson.
M
I
mean
my
only
concern,
is
you
know
we?
You
know
we
talk
about
how
you
know
we
want
to
make
sure
APD
of
the
resources
they
need,
and
you
know.
Sometimes
we
only
have
three
officers
on
duty
of
time
and
shifting
that
burden
to
the
police
department.
When
people
can,
you
know,
contact
the
actual
person
responsible
directly,
but
if,
as
David
says
so
far,
there
isn't
any
evidence
that
it's
a
concern
then,
for
now
it
does.
It
seems
okay,
if
we
remove
it
and
you
know
yeah
just
down
the
road.
N
Yeah
I
would
say
yes
eliminate,
but
it
it
seems
to
around
town
I
guess
a
lot
of
operators
have
already
gotten
their
nice
fancy
signs
made
so
I
guess
some
of
them
will
definitely
keep
those
in
place,
but
maybe
the
paper
signs
and
the
windows
will
go
away,
but
it's
nice
to
know
too
I
don't
know.
Maybe
people
walking
around
can
recognize
a
spot,
at
least
if
it's
labeled
as
one
and
say
oh
I'd
like
to
stay
there
next
time,
I'm
in
town,
but
making
it
a
requirement,
I
I
think
is
yeah.
K
So
when
Rose
Court
Cottage
first
started,
you
know
years
ago
in
the
early
2000s,
she
had
a
sign
on
the
side
of
her
building,
say
Rose
Court
Cottage
so
and
she
would
people
would
see
that
and
they
would
call
to
see
if
it
was
available
and.
M
Just
want
to
throw
the
idea
really
quick,
that
I
still
agree,
I'm,
not
dissenting.
Just
that
you
know
just
food
for
thought.
I
mean
just
something
that
crossed
my
mind.
You
know.
Obviously
some
people
do
already.
M
You
know,
like
Sarah
said
some
people
already
have
it
up
like
Alex
pointed
out,
it
can
be
a
benefit,
and
you
know
acknowledging
that
when
people
do
call
APD,
it
is
an
actual
cost
to
the
city
in
a
sense-
and
you
know
it
would
be
neat
if
we
I
mean
this
is
probably
too
much,
but
I
just
wanted
to
mention
it.
M
If
we
did
something
like,
if
you
do
list
your
phone
number,
you
get
10
bucks
off
your
permit
fee
or
something
because
they're
actually
saving
us
money
in
the
end,
when
people
don't
have
to
call
APD
but
I
just
wanted
to
get
that
out.
Anyways
thanks.
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
you
know
what.
If
we
start
having
problems,
then
we
might
need
to
revisit
these
creative
ideas,
but
all
right
so
we're
next.
Should
hotel
rooms
be
regulated
by
the
short
stay
ordinance.
Did
you
no,
so
we're
gonna
go
in
an
orderly
fashion,
so
I'd
like
to
start
with
director
Loya.
Please
did
you
have.
A
T
You
know
the
research
we've
done.
I
think
that
you
know
I
would
recommend
that
you
do
not
include
hotel
rooms
in
in
this
ordinance
or
in
the
cap.
You
know
they.
They
hotels
are
specifically
designed
in
our
our
land
use
code.
If
you're
operating
as
a
hotel,
you
may
advertise
on.
You
know
these
platforms,
but
it's
a
different
use
type,
and
so
you
know
there
are
some
some
examples.
T
Councilmember
Stillman
pointed
out
earlier
that
you
know
our
little
Gray
we've
had
hotels,
convert
to
you,
know
residential
units
and
then
convert
back
to
hotels,
but
yeah
I
would
say
that
it's
a
different
use
type
and
it
shouldn't
be
regulated
under
the
cap.
M
A
It
seems
like
number
two
is
very
similar.
Would
you
say
so
director
Loya
or
what
would
be
your
recommendation
on
that
one
yeah.
T
T
Yeah,
so
the
transient
occupancy
tax
was
brought
up
when
we
first
adopted
the
ordinance.
It
was
also
brought
up
during
our
stakeholder
engagement,
and
what
this
focuses
around
is
that
some
some
folks
would
like
the
ability
to
have
their
platform
that
they
use,
collect
the
transient
occupancy
tax
and
then
remit
that
to
the
city
on
their
behalf.
T
T
The
Operators
would
benefit
from
not
having
to
track,
maintain
and
remit
those
those
taxes
to
us
and
for
those
operators
who
use
only
one
platform,
it
would
be,
you
know,
fairly
streamlined
and
simple
for
them,
and
then
their
full
price
would
be
listed.
You
know
for
people
who
are,
you
know
coming
to
stay
in
our
community,
they
would
know
they're
paying
you
know
whatever
the
total
is
the
platform
collects
it
and
then
sends
it
to
us
on
the
city's
side.
T
The
challenge
that
we
have
is
that
we
would
then
have
to
get
into
contracts
with
each
of
the
different
platforms
and
separately,
and
we
would
have
other
situations
as
well
for
folks
who
aren't
necessarily
using
those
platforms,
and
so
it
creates
a
a
lot
of
different
points
at
points
of
entry
on
the
city
Side
receiving
those
those
taxes.
T
In
addition,
when
we
last
looked
at
it,
the
the
platforms
were
not
willing
to
provide
us
a
breakdown
on.
You
know
how
those
taxes
were
collected.
We
would
just
receive
a
lump
sum
quarterly,
and
so
it
provides
produces
significant
challenges
in
the
finance
department.
Trying
to
audit
these
and
in
the
the
you
know
the
permit
issuance
side
as
well.
If
you're,
you
know
asking
folks
to
demonstrate
that
they're
they're
actually
operating,
you
know
on
a
regular
basis,
so
staff
would
recommend
that
you
do
not.
T
You
know,
create
the
ability
or
start
allowing
for
this
just
because
it
would
be.
You
know,
created
administrative
burden
that
you
know
I'm
not
sure
we'd
be
able
to
rise
to
that
challenge.
One
alternative
would
be
that
you
know
we
just
concede
that
we
don't
know
when
or
how
or
why
we're
collecting
the
taxes
we
just
are
receiving
these.
These
monies.
T
It's
probably
not
the
the
most
effective
way
of
running
a
regulatory
program,
but
I
think
we
would
have
to
concede
to
that.
If
we
did
accept
that
the
the
platforms
we're
going
to
collect
taxes
for
the
The
Operators.
P
Yeah
I,
don't
like
that
City
attorney
diamond.
Is
there
anything
that
that
you
need
to
clarify.
V
Not
really
this
is
this
is
a
an
issue
that
has
been
vexing
since
Airbnb.
First,
you
know
started,
they
were
one
of
the
first
ones.
You
know
VRBO
as
well
and
they
have
offered
their
you
know
their
blanket
agreements
to
municipalities,
saying
we
will
collect
the
tax
for
you,
but
we're
not
going
to
tell
you
who
are
where
our
properties
are
or
who
owns
them
because
they
want
to
maintain
confidentiality.
But
we,
you
know,
trust
us
and
those.
You
know
those
who
have
rented
on
those
sites
do
see
those
taxes
get
added.
V
So
you
know
those
Agreements
are
are
probably
honored
by
the
the
larger
entities
and
I
I.
Think
you
know
the
the
the
sort
of
trust,
but
there's
no
ability
to
verify
arises
with
this,
the
smaller
you
know,
sort
of
businesses
or
persons
that
are
doing
it,
and
that's
that's
the
issue
and
there's
you
know
there's.
V
Certainly,
it
would
be
a
violation
and
if,
if
the
city
became
it'd
be
a
violation
of
the
of
the
city
codes
for
you
know
not
paying
if
the
city
became
aware
of
it,
then
it
could
initiate
some
investigation
and
enforcement,
but
that
would
be
the
only
basis
for
doing
that.
C
Pay
us
well-
and
you
might
hear
from
some
of
them
tonight,
but
there
is
a
form
that
the
city
has,
that
they
fill
out
quarterly
and
they
remit
that
you
know
typically
with
a
check
or
come
in
and
pay
with
credit
card
at
the
time
that
we
last
look
at
this,
and
this
has
maybe
changed,
and
perhaps
we
will
speak
to
this
tonight
and
if
it's
a
real
interest
to
the
council,
we
can
revisit
it.
Airbnb
was
the
only
one
with
the
blanket
agreement.
C
Picasso
wasn't
really
active
in
this
area,
but
BRBO
or
verbo
was
not
had
not
developed
an
agreement
that
they
were
going
to
be
entry
into
with
municipalities.
The
county
at
one
point
tried
to
create
an
agreement
that
would
cover
all
the
county
and
the
cities
and
then
pulled
back
and
they
did
enter
into
one
with
Airbnb.
So
if
people
are
just
on
one
platform,
if
they
were
just
on
Airbnb,
then
it
was
going
to
be
an
easy
collection.
C
K
K
Arcata
say
you
know:
Christy
Laird,
corrected
collected
all
herself
and
sent
it
in
according
to
the
different
units
and
I
think
it's
part
of
doing
business
and
that
individuals
that
are
running
this
they're
running
it
like
a
business
they're
running
it
to
help
them
have
a
more
financial,
lead,
better
life
and
it's
part
of
doing
business.
K
Just
like
anything
else,
you
have
to
do
and
so
I
think
they
should
be
collecting
it
and
sending
it
in
keeping
track
of
their
records
plus
it
gives
them
an
idea
of
what
their
turns
are
and
how
often
they
have
people
there
and
what
it's
like
for
them
each
quarter
and
is
it
a
good?
Is
it
a
good
business
or
not,
because
you
have
to
assess
all
of
that
when
you're
collecting
your
your
taxes.
N
Here's,
a
thought:
do
you
think
that,
or
do
you
know
if
there
are
I
mean
Airbnb
is
operating
that
are
not
permitted
by
us
and
that
perhaps
by
partnering,
with
these
agencies
or
partnering,
you
know
with
Airbnb
to
collect
the
taxes
that
actually
we
would
probably
get
more
tax
revenue
because
they
are
operating
under
Airbnb,
but
I
might
not
be
registered
with
us.
So
we
don't
know
if
they're
paying
their
taxes
or
have
awareness
I
mean.
Is
that
a
thing
that
might
be
happening.
C
I'm
certain
that
it's
happening
in
at
least
one
or
more
units
in
Arcata
we
do
I
would
say
that
our
finance
staff
has
been
diligent
over
the
years
of
going
on
and
and
kind
of
self-auditing
we're
a
pretty
small
town.
So
even
from
pretty
simple
pictures
with
our
water
meter
reader
out
there
walking
street
block
by
block.
You
know
we
have
brought
a
lot
of
people
into
the
system.
C
We
did
a
lot
of
Outreach
and
education
when
you
put
this
cap
and
permitting
in
and
I
think
it
did
spur
people
that
had
gone
under
the
radar
to
say
now.
If
I
get
caught,
I'm
going
to
be
over
the
cap
and
I'm
not
going
to
be
able
to
continue,
they
came
in
through
that
and
then
the
city
has
hired
two
firms
over
the
last
10
years
to
come
in
and
do
full
Audits,
and
so
they
have
access.
C
You
know
to
certain
areas
of
data
and
then
they
go
through
all
of
the
platforms
and
they
go
through
all
of
our
records
and
they
look
at
sort
of
historical
use
from
that
property.
They
look
at
where
there's
significant
changes
and-
and
we
have
collected
you-
know
fairly
significant
tot
Revenue
during
each
of
those
audit
periods.
So
those
are
sort
of
the
strategies
we've
used
in
the
past.
But
to
say
there
isn't
one
out
there
operating
right
now,
I'm
certain
there
probably
still
is.
N
Okay
yeah
this
one
is
hard
for
me.
I
wrote,
yes,
question
mark,
so
my
first
knee-jerk
reaction
was
yeah.
I
think
that
it
would
streamline
the
process.
If
you
know
we
worked
with
these
websites
to
be
able
to
collect
the
text
that
way
and
streamline
it
for
also,
you
know
we're
putting
all
these
regulations
on
operators,
so
it
would
make
their
lives
easier
as
well.
N
However,
that's
easy
if
there's
only
one
platform,
but
now
that
we're
seeing
more
and
more
I
mean
just
deciding
you
know,
which
ones
do
we
go
with
I
mean
I
know
for
for
me.
If
I'm
going
to
look
up
a
place
to
stay,
it's
either
Airbnb
or
VRBO,
I
think
those
are
the
ones
people
mostly
use,
but
I've
seen
you
know
signs
posting
locally
for
Picasa
and
even
other
ones
I
haven't
heard
of
so
it
just
seems
a
little
I,
don't
know
intangible,
but
I
guess
you
know
if
we
wanted
to
pilot
it.
N
Just
by
saying
okay,
we'll
go
with
partnering
with
with
Airbnb
and
trying
that,
but
then
I
mean
I,
guess
that
leaves
then
operators
that
list
on
VRBO
to
continue
the
normal
process.
That
they're
in
yeah
so
I'm
kind
of
sitting
on
yes
on
this
one.
But
you
know
it
wouldn't
be
my
end-all
be-all.
But
I'd
like
to
hear
from
from
you
and
from
councilmember
Watson
I
guess
as
well
before
I,
maybe
formally
make
up
my
mind
but
I.
O
N
Really
go
either
way,
but
I
I
think
that
this
is
something
that
we
should
look
into
and
I
just
hope
that
these
platforms,
too,
want
to
you
know,
streamline
their
processes
and
work
with
cities
and
I
know
as
somebody
that
has
stayed
on
a
lot
of
airbnbs.
It's
really
nice
to
just
see
that
breakdown
too
and
see
you
know.
What's
the
taxes,
what's
the
cleaning,
what's
the
actual
cost
of
the
place
as
somebody's
staying
there,
because
it
answers
a
lot
of
the
questions
of
what
you
know.
N
The
cost
is
in
that
cost,
so
I
I
would
tend
towards
saying
yeah
I
think
we
should
at
least
partner
with
like
the
two
big
ones,
Airbnb
and
VRBO,
to
kind
of,
but.
K
You
know,
I
have
to
say
Vasca
or,
however,
you
actually
pronounce.
It
was
Redwood
vacation
rentals
and
he
was
a
gentleman
that
was
on
our
Planning
Commission
and
he
had
them
in
all
these
different
communities
here
and
he
sold
them
to
this
company
and
he
moved
to
Hawaii
and
now
he's
doing
the
same
thing
in
Hawaii
that
he
did
here
managing
vacation.
K
Rentals
is
so
and
he
so
I'm
sure,
because
they
had
him
in
Trinidad
and
McKinleyville,
Arcadia,
Eureka
and
I'm,
not
too
sure
for
how
far
south
they
had
a
storage
unit
in
every
Community
where
they
kept
all
the
goods.
You
know
your
cleaning
supplies
and
so
forth,
your
whatever
they
and
they
would
pick
up
what
they
needed
to
go
to.
You
know
it's
all
very
organized.
You
know
you
do
this
and
you
do
that
housekeeping
picks
up.
K
They
have
this
many
so
and
I'm
sure
that's
still
happening
because
that's
the
company
he
sold
and
he
had
so
many
units
for
that
company.
A
Okay,
so
council
member
Watson,
will
hear
you
next,
but
I
think
I'm
going
to
ask
a
question
because
it
might
direct
the
conversation
there
are,
as
we've
decided,
multiple
platforms.
Would
the
city
be
able
to
say
you
know
to
actually
say
that
they
are
only
going
to
accept
the
automated
payments
from
a
couple
or
do
we
have
to
be
open
to
all
of
them?.
C
C
We
would
need
to
do
that
research
now,
and
so
we
just
figured
that
we
were
already
going
to
be
receiving
payments,
then
from
multiple
places
that
we're
not
going
to
be
automatic
and
to
try
to
have
any
kind
of
sense
of
auditing
in
that
system
was
hard
at
the
time.
C
It's
certainly
easier
for
the
renter
I
think
it's
easier
for
the
operator
and
really
it
would
be
easier
for
this
city
if
they
all
came
in
that
way,
but
at
the
time
that
wasn't
the
option
for
us
if
they
all
came
in
electronically
to
us,
you
know
we
would
not
have
you
know
the
the
level
of
insight
as
to
the
use
also
of
each
of
those
properties,
but
but
certainly
it
would
reduce
you
know
we
would
just
simply
not
be
able
to
go
back
and
track
that
to
a
specific
unit.
C
So
we
would
have
to
assume
you
know
they
would.
Each
person
coming
in
with
their
application
would
have
to
say
which
platforms
they
were
on
or
if
they
were
going
to
just
do
it
through
a
phone
number
that
they
put
on
a
website
and
then
they
would
be
remitting
to
us
and
I.
Think
that
you
know,
but
we
would
lose
sort
of
the
auditing
piece
that
we
do
now
as
staff.
So.
C
I
think,
historically,
our
finance
department
has
always
thought
that
we
Garner
more
Revenue
by
collecting
it
ourselves
and
getting
to
know
the
operators
by
ourselves
and
having
that
relationship.
But
I.
You
know
I
and-
and
it
really
was
only
Airbnb,
so
we
were
going
to
be
in
the
business
anyway
and
then
to
try
to
divide
out
which
was
which
just
felt
like
people
could
just
say.
Oh,
it
came
through
Airbnb
and
we
wouldn't
ever
be
able
to
say
no.
M
Thank
you,
yeah
I
mean
I
like
the
idea
of
tracking
it
for
or
using
those
having
everything
run
through
those
platforms.
For
all
the
reasons,
everybody's
stated
and
I
think
I
mean.
Ideally,
you
know
like
a
lot
of
stuff
with
technology.
M
It's
a
total
payment
about
to
figure
out
at
first
and
get
it
all
set
up.
But
then
you
know
hopefully
that
once
it
is
set
up,
it
becomes
more
streamlined
and
it's
not
so
much
of
a
burden
on
staff
and.
A
So,
council,
member
Watson
I
think
that
I
just
want
to
be
clear.
Council
member
Matthews
was
ended
up,
saying
like
a
no
on
that
for
transparency
and
reasons,
as
that
is
mine
and
I,
believe
that
was
your
opinion
Alex
as
well.
I.
K
We
have
two
of
them
right,
well,
three
sitting
all
in
a
little
group
over
there,
and
but
my
feeling
is
that
we
individually
should
collect
from
because
there's
also
another
one
called
home
away
from
home
and
how
many
other
platforms
are
out
there
that
we
don't
even
know
about
so
I
just
know
of
four
right
off
the
bat
and
we've
listed
at
two
three,
so
I
think
operators
and
they'll
tell
us
what
they
think
in
a
few
minutes
when
they
have
the
opportunity.
Okay,.
A
N
Yes,
but
no
yeah
I'd
like
to
maybe
come
back
to
this
one
after
we
hear
a
public
comment,
because
we
have
one
more
thing
to
to
talk
about
and
then
we're
going
to
take
comments,
so
I'm
I'm,
I,
I,
think
I'm
out
outweighed
on
that
one
anyway,
it's
not
going
to
sway
my
entire.
You
know
voting
here,
so
I
think
I'm
I'm
out
voted
on
that
one
anyway.
So.
C
When
we
looked
at
this
historically,
the
only
platform
I'm
gonna
look
out
here
if
they
all
start
going.
No
it's
different
now,
but
the
only
platform
that
would
enter
into
an
agreement
to
automatically
collect
the
tax
and
remit
it
to
the
city
was
Airbnb,
but
they
would
only
do
so.
They
would
send
us
one
check
quarterly
and
it
would
not
detail
what
properties
or
how
much
from
each
property
that
check
you
know
reflected.
C
So
we
would
have
no
idea
if
that
was
five
properties
or
if
we
were
getting
remitted
from
all
100
that
you
know
filled
the
cap.
So
we
just
would
have
to
take
that
at
sort
of
face
value
as
the
right
tot
and
at
the
time
in
this
you
know
many
years
ago
was
not
a
comfortable
scenario
for
a
finance
or
the
council.
M
T
Yeah
and
just
to
add
to
that,
the
the
finance
staff
would
then
have
to
do
the
you
know
the
legwork
of
auditing
that
connecting
the
dots
between
what
the
operators
are
submitting
as
their
you
know,
their
whatever
their
rent
rolls
were
showing
how
many
nights
they
stayed
for.
You
know,
for
whatever
the
tot
was,
and
connecting
the
dots
on
on
the
Airbnb
side,
to
make
sure
that
everything
balanced
that
we
were
actually
collecting,
What
You,
Know,
The
Operators
were
showing
and
then
with
all
the
other
sources
of
receipts
for
Tot.
T
Then
it
just
creates.
You
know
multiple
Pathways,
as
opposed
to
just
one
pathway.
The
operator
comes
in
pays.
The
check
shows
the
accounting,
that's
just
a
more
simplistic
platform
for
the
finance
department.
M
A
Okay,
so
it
seems
like
we're
four
we're
we're
four
no's,
four
and
a
half
knows
so
I
think
that's
pretty
good
until
public
comment
that
could
that
could
change
Minds
all
right,
so
the
last
one
is
should
the
short
stay
cap
include
an
exemption
for
historic
landmarks,
because
currently
it
does
not
currently.
T
It
does
not,
and
so
what
this
exemption
would
look
like
is
an
exemption
from
the
cap
that
the
the
owners
of
historic
landmarks
would
still
have
to
come
in
and
get
permitted
so
that
we
can
track
them
and
make
sure
that
we're
getting
payment
and
that
sort
of
thing,
but
they
wouldn't
be
counted
towards
the
cap.
T
You
know,
adaptive
reuses
and
so
a
house
in
a
neighborhood
where
you
would
expect
to
see
residential
uses
might
actually
operate
as
an
office
building
or
a
doctor's
office,
and
those
were
kind
of
the
original
adaptive
reuses
that
we
were
thinking
about
when
we
adopted
these
ordinances,
but
the
the
land
use
code
actually
broadens
it
up
and
says
you
know,
or
any
other
use
that's
necessary
to
maintain
historic
resource.
Historic
resources
are
a
lot
more
expensive
to
maintain
and
operate
than
you
know.
T
Newer
house
they're,
subject
to
a
lot
more
regulations
than
than
your
standard
house,
and
so
this
would
be
a
way
of
you
know
recognizing
that
and
providing
an
automatic
incentive
for
owners
of
historic
properties
to
ensure
that
they
have
the
revenues
they
need
to
maintain
those
properties,
so
staff
would
staff
would
recommend
that
you
do
allow
for
this
exemption.
The
Historic
Landmark
committee
was
also
in
support
of
something
akin
to
this.
When
we
discussed
it.
K
You
I
I
agree
you,
you
talked
about
how
historic
properties
were
handled
sort
of
separately
and
that
all
started
in
the
70s
when
we're
really
worried
about
historic
properties
not
being
valued,
and
there
was
a
whole
time
or
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
make
sure
that
we
continued
to
have
an
Arcata
character,
defining
characteristics
that
we
had
a
area,
a
town
that
still
looked
nice,
that
you
had
you
just
didn't
everything
wasn't
gone
and
that
we
became
anywhere
in
America,
and
so
we
made
that
available
so
that
you
could
have
you
could
have
your
dental
office
downstairs.
K
You
could
have
an
apartment
upstairs
you
could
do
various
things
in
your
historic
structures
and
that
still
sits
on
the
books
and
I.
Think
this
just
should
be
another
one
that
would
be
available
because
in
those
days
we
did
not
have
vacation
rentals.
K
So
it
wasn't
even
a
topic
that
would
have
been
discussed
when
we
were
figuring
out
how
to
maintain
and
preserve
historic
structures.
So
we
did
definitely
saw
a
lot
of
doctors
offices
but
continued
to
have
residential
in
them.
A
variety
of
uses,
so
I
I
definitely
support
this.
P
And
I
do
too
for
a
lot
of
the
reasons
that
you
talked
about
and
mostly
because
the
Historic
Landmark
committee
recommended
that
we
make
this
exemption
and
I
really
feel
like
at
this
point.
Why
do
we
have
these
committees,
if
we're
not
kind
of
taking
their
suggestions?
P
N
T
I
can
think
off
the
top
of
my
head
of
two
that
I
know
of
that
are
historic
properties
that
you
know
that
would
qualify
for
an
exemption
if
one
were
created
and
I
can
think
of
a
couple
of
others
that
are
likely
could
be
historic
landmarks,
and
this
may
be
an
incentive
for
those
properties
to
to
go
ahead
and
list
at
some
point.
T
If
they,
you
know,
if
they
are
considering,
you
know
whether
to
to
try
and
operate
a
short
stay
vacation
rental
as
a
means
of
income,
if
you're
not
currently
a
Historic
Landmark,
and
yet
you
qualify
that
may
be
a
good
way
of
getting
a
permit.
If
you're,
not
you
know
becoming
listed,
would
be
a
good
way
of
getting
a
permit
if
we're
over
the
cap.
So
it's
it.
You
know
it's
going
to
be
a
minor
impact
on
the
overall
housing
stock.
A
minor
impact
on
you
know
historic
on
on.
T
You
know
the
number
of
historic
buildings
that
come
in
as
Short
State
Rentals,
but
it
could
have
a
major
impact
on
the
you
know:
operational
revenue
for
each
individual,
historic
property.
K
Might
be
a
possibility
for
some
of
them
to
consider
the
Mills
act
when
they
are
coming
in
and
thinking
about
short
stay
and
maybe
using
the
Mills
act,
and
we
can
stop
put
some
of
those
incentives
together
for
more
than
one
property.
A
M
You
know
I
remember
when
we
talked
about
I
think
the
one
exemption
is
the
Chapman
house
and
Mike
Wilson
was
very
opposed
to
giving
them
an
exemption,
and
you
know
some
of
the
reasons
he
cited
was
that,
like
most
of
the
building
is
like
not
historic,
it's
like
new
additions
and
changes,
and
you
know
I
think
it
just
gets
down
to
like
these
are
in
neighborhoods,
and
you
know
it's
for
with
that
example
looks
like
you're
turning
an
entire.
M
M
It's
you
know
it's
like
what
was
our
goal:
it's
to
preserve
it
as
a
house
right,
it's
a
house,
so
you
know
I,
don't
know
I,
don't
think
we
should
exempt
it.
You
know
at
the
end
of
the
day,
there's
not
that
many
of
them,
but
you
know
I,
feel
like
they
are
fine.
They
still
qualify
as
being
owner
occupied
and
being
having.
M
You
know
long-term
long-term
residence
and
yeah,
but
again
as
I'm
talking
about
this
basically
right
now,
because
we're
over
the
cap,
somebody
couldn't
qualify
for
the
exemption.
Anyways
right.
C
They
could,
because,
if
you
are
Exempted
right,
then
you
don't
fall
under
the
cap.
So
I
think
that's
what
director
loyal
you
would
have
to
be
a
listed
property,
so
I
think
that's.
What
director
Laura
was
referencing
is
that
if,
if
there
was
a
historic
property
that
was
not
yet
listed,
it
might
incentivize
them
to
list
if
they
knew
that
they
could
actually
get
a
permit
and
have
Revenue
coming
into
the
structure.
That
would
help,
for
you
know,
offset
the
cost
of
that
renovation.
C
K
M
K
Wanted
to
correct
about
the
Chapman
house,
there's
only
one
structure
on
the
Chapman
house
property
it
was.
There
was
an
original
garage
there
that
was
taken
down
and
it
was
rebuilt
and
there's
an
apartment.
On
the
second
floor,
the
rest
of
the
house
is
all
original.
Well,
it
depends
on
how
what
year
you're
talking
about?
Maybe
in
1870s
there
was
a
wing
and
then
they
added
in
1890
the
main
house.
K
So
if
you're
thinking
of
it
that
way,
then
it
was
you
know
it's
been
added
on
to,
but
historically
speaking,
it's
been
that
way
for
a
long,
long,
long
time
and
most
houses
in
Arcata,
especially
the
settlement
era
houses
they
have
wings.
They
either
have
the
back
Wing,
the
right
wing
or
the
left
wing
of
the
house,
and
then
that
was
the
original
part
of
the
house.
Then
they
built
the
two-story
part.
K
So
you'll
see
sometimes
it's
the
right
back
or
side
and
that's
when
they
could
afford
additional
money
to
build
the
rest
of
the
house,
so
they
could
live
in
it
comfortably.
So
the
Chapman
house,
if
that's
what
Mike
Wilson
said,
he
made
an
error,
because
it's
only
the
garage
that
is
new
on
that
property.
K
All
the
sidewalk
too
I
mean
they
replaced
the
sidewalk.
They
had
to
do
some
things
like
that.
You
know
fencing
those
kind
of
things,
but
you
know
we're
required
to
when
we
renovate
a
property,
we're
required
to
do
the
Alley
we're
required
to
do
the
sidewalk.
You
know
there
are
all
these
things
the
city
wants
us
to
do.
They
want
to
make
sure
all
our
units
are
hooked
up
to
the
sewer
system,
and
so,
if
you
look
at
it
that
way,
you're
going,
oh,
my
gosh,
there's
so
much
to
do.
A
Okay,
so
just
councilmember
Watson
just
so
you
know
for
keeping
track
and
I'll
summarize
this
in
a
minute,
but
for
the
Historic
Landmark
part.
You
are
dissenting
on
that.
Just
so
you
know.
M
No
I
mean
I'll,
just
you
know
it's,
you
know
if,
if
you
guys
want
to
exempt
it,
that's
okay
I'll
go
along.
It's
not
that
big
of
a
deal,
but
you
know,
just
like
my
personal
unpopular
opinion,
is
that
you
know
old
buildings
are
cool,
but
there's
also
this
giant
contradiction
of.
M
We
want
to
build
dense,
Housing
close
to
the
plaza,
and
then
we
basically
take
a
you
know
single
or
two-story,
building
and
say:
okay,
you
can't
touch
this,
we're,
never
gonna
move
it
ever
and
it's
going
to
occupy
Prime
space
to
build
denser
housing.
So
that's
just
always
something
that's
kind
of
you
know
stuck
out
to
me
is
you
know,
kind
of
an
odd
contradiction
and
I
mean
yeah.
M
It's
it's
neat
to
restore
stuff
and
to
go
into
it
and
be
like
this
is
the
way
it
was
200
years
ago,
but
we
also
have
many
examples
of
you
know
and
I'm,
not
sure.
If
Alex
was
you
know,
one
of
the
people
that
did
this
I
know
Julie
Fulkerson
did
this
of
you
know
these
houses
getting
moved.
M
You
know
they
can
be
moved
and
relocated
to
different
areas
of
the
city
and
then
that
land
can
then
be
built,
for
you
know,
denser
housing,
that's
closer
to
the
plaza
and
you
know
fits
into
this
dream.
Everybody
has
of
Arcata.
Being
this,
you
know
great
walkable
City
with
everyone
has
access
to
the
plaza.
K
I
did
move
the
house,
I
moved
well,
I
was
involved
in
moving
two
houses
during
the
freeway
expansion,
otherwise
they've
been
torn
down
and
we
found
a
vacant
lot.
We
were
able
to
do
that
and
we
sold
one
lot
and
a
newer
House
was
built
there
and
in
Arcata
during
the
freeway
time,
a
lot
of
buildings
removed
from
one
place
to
another
and
also
in
the
60s
when
they
were
putting
the
expressway
through.
That
was
another
time.
Buildings
were
moved.
A
Okay,
so
all
right
team,
I'm
going
to
attempt
to
summarize
I
think
we're
only
we're
only
suggesting
three
changes
to
the
ordinance
so
I'm
going
to
review
what
those
are
and
make
sure
that
I'm
on
the
right
track
and
then
we'll
go
to
public
comment.
So
the
first
change
that
I
have
that
we
have
got
consensus
on,
should
the
exemption
for
long-term
tenancy
be
eliminated.
A
M
And
just
just
quickly,
I
know
we
agreed
on
no
cap
on
how
many
rentals
a
single
person
can
have
and
I
just
want
to
throw
this
out
there
just
like
last
last-ditch
effort
what
if
we
set
it
at
10.
You
know
that's
basically
10
we're
saying
no
one
person
can
own
more
than
10
percent
of
our
entire
short
stay
rental
stock.
M
A
Well,
we
you,
you,
put
it
out
there
on
the
table,
so
we've
got
that
and
then
we'll
do
public
input
and
then
we'll
we'll
come
back
and
see
where
we
want
to
go.
K
So
can
I
mention
one
other
thing
and
that's
about
Eureka
is
doing
this
right
now,
so
they
have
decided
that
they're
out
of
short
stay
rental
income
taxes,
they're
getting
their
tot
they're,
going
to
put
100
of
that
into
their
Housing
Trust
Fund,
and
then
from
the
motels
and
hotels
they're
taking
one
percent
and
putting
it
into
the
Housing
Trust
Fund
I'm,
just
mentioning
it.
We
don't
have
it
Housing,
Trust
Fund,
but
I'm.
Just
mentioning
that
as
a
just
information.
A
And
we
could
definitely
discuss
that
at
goal
setting
and
budgeting
all
right,
let's
open
it
up
to
public
comment.
Thank
you
for
waiting
so
patiently.
We
will
take
in
person
folks
first,
you
don't
need
to
take
a
number
for
this.
You
can
just
line
up.
You've
got
three
minutes,
and
then
we
will
go
to
the
online
folks
whenever
you're
ready.
U
U
U

Maybe
you
could
have
a
limit
of
one
to
one
short
stay,
a
block
or
maybe
not
to
have
two
next
to
each
other,
I'm
just
to
spread
them
out,
because
when
they
cluster,
it
really
changes
the
residential
quality
of
a
of
a
street,
and
we
do
have
that.
Okay,
please
consider
it.
Thank
you.
Yes,
thank
you.
W
Hi,
my
name
is
Shannon
yodowitz
and
my
husband
and
I
own,
a
historic
lamp
Landmark
here
in
Arcata.
At
this
point,
considering
what
you
guys
have
discussed
and
the
way
you
intend
to
vote
I'm,
not
I'm,
just
reiterating
things.
W
Sure
how's
that
okay,
so
I
want
to
address
and
and
and
I
support
the
suggested
Historic
Landmark
exemption
from
the
short
stay
cap
I
think
it's
important
to
preserve
our
architectural
resources.
I
think
it's
what
makes
Arcata
a
significant
part
of
what
makes
Arcata
a
lovely
place
to
live.
W
I
think
that
if
you
take
historic
properties
and
move
them
somewhere
else
and
plop
down
condensed
tall
housing,
you
remove
the
incentive
to
be
in
that
Community,
or
at
least
a
large
incentive
that,
yes,
you
have
housing,
and
you
also
have
places
that
look
like
strip
malls
and
I'm
really
going
off
script
and
Joel
told
me
not
to
do
that,
but
so
the
historic
landmarks
are
a
significant
source
of
beauty,
livability
and
charm,
here,
they're
also
very
expensive
to
maintain
and
the
city
has
historically
provided
incentives
and
ways
for
people
who
have
a
Historic,
Landmark
or
even
just
historic
properties,
to
turn
them
into
doctor's
offices
or
other
buildings,
so
that
they
could
be
productive
and
financially
productive,
and
that
needs
to
go
beyond
just
the
person
who
owns
it.
W
Currently,
it
needs
to
go
beyond
me
to
the
next
owner
that
person
needs
to
be
incentivized
to
purchase
it
and
then
to
be
able
to
maintain
it.
Otherwise
they
fall
into
disrepair,
which
was
the
state
of
our
Landmark
prior
to
our
purchase
prior
to
2018..
It
was
I'm
told
it
was
do
we
do
we
tear
it
down
or
do
we
rehab
it,
and
fortunately
it's
a
it's,
a
beautiful
stunning
property
that
you
know
part
of
the
way
to
maintain
that
is
by
being
able
to
Airbnb
it's
also
Chapman
house.
W
W
It's
landmarks
have
a
very
small
impact
on
overall
housing
stock
in
the
community
and
I
think
that
if
you're,
balancing
housing
stock
and
the
livability
of
the
community,
the
historic
resources
are
are
far
outweigh
the
loss
of
a
such
a
small
part
of
the
housing
stock.
I
also
have
opinions
about
the
the
TFT.

Hi
Paul
Pacino
Arcata
south
of
Samoa,
two
doors
from
the
stinky
Pinky
in
case
you
didn't
know,
my
neighborhood
is
overwhelmingly
single
family
homes,
rented
to
multi-non-related,
tenants
and
I.
X
You
know,
I
really
don't
care
what
people
do
in
that
regard,
except
for
I
have
to
put
the
sign
in
my
window,
and
it
says:
here's
my
emergency
contact
for
my
Airbnb
that
I
live
in
for
everybody
to
know,
but
those
people
across
the
street
that
have
four
to
six
unrelated
tenants
in
their
homes
have
no
sign
and
nobody
knows
how
to
get
a
hold
of
them
and
I
thought
this
is
crap.
This
is
not
Equity
Arcata.
X
Y
My
name
is
Bob
Doran,
my
wife
and
I
run
the
black
cat
Hideaway
here
in
Arcata
ditto.
What
Paul
said
about
the
stupid
little
sign
that
you
saw
my
fence,
but
I
want
to
talk
about
tot
to
me.
It's
a
it's
a
marketing
device.
It's
you
compare
the
cost
of
our
place
with
a
similar
property
that
is
not
covered
by
automatic
deduction
of
your
your
attacks
by
air
and
b,
because
we're
up
we're
on
Airbnb
that,
if
we're
not
on
anything
else,
I,
don't
know
what
there's
eight
of
them.
There's
brob
and
I.
Y
Don't
know
what
the
other
one
but
we'll
just
use
Airbnb
and
it
would
be
it
would
simplify
Our
Lives
because
we
wouldn't
have
to
set
aside
money
for
to
pay
the
taxes
every
four
months
and
furthermore,
we
would
be
able
to
compete
with
the
people
who
are
charging
this
they're
charging
less
money.
Apparently
you
know
when
people
look
at
that
are
are
listening,
they're
going?
How
much
money
does
this
cost?
Y
Well,
if
they
don't
know
that
we're
paying
the
tax
and
the
next
guy
is
not
paying
the
tax
because
it's
being
detected
by
collected
by
the
county-
that's
not
fair,
so
I
I
know
it's
it's
a
little
bit
more
paperwork
for
the
staff,
but
you
know
that's
what
they're
that's
what
their
job
is
to
me.
That's
what
the
the
you
know,
the
administration
of
money.
Y
Z
Hello,
my
name
is
Joan
Edwards
and
I
run
an
Airbnb
out
and
on
27th
Street
and
it's
owner
occupied.
So
and
I
only
do
that,
because
my
house
was
built
in
1862
and
it
has
a
very
old
electrical
system
and
I
never
rent
it
when
I'm,
not
home.
So
I
had
a
huge
issue
with
the
phone
number
being
posted
on
the
street
I'm
about
I,
don't
know
quite
a
ways
off
the
road
and
I
wasn't
comfortable
with
that.
Z
In
fact,
argued
with
the
person
that
told
me
I
had
to
do
it
and
I
said
I
can't
do
it
as
an
invasion
of
my
privacy.
But
one
of
my
issues
about
that
that
I'd
like
to
say,
is
that
when
there's
an
issue
with
a
building
that
has
a
long-term
rental
that
there's
a
party
or
some
disruptive
behavior,
they
call
the
police
and
the
police
deals
with
the
people
that
are
there
and
it
isn't,
does
not
go
to
the
landlord.
Z
Z
That's
just
my
feeling,
because
I
think
of
Airbnb
owners
need
to
put
out
their
phone
numbers,
so
should
long-term
landlords
put
their
phone
numbers
on
those
buildings
as
well
so
I'm
in
complete
agreement
with
what
they
said,
but
I
do
want
to
address
the
tot
Ally
on
my
platform
on
Airbnb.
It
allows
you
to
put
tax
so
they
have
a
part
of
there.
Do
you
say
I
charge
an
occupancy
tax
of
10
and
I.
Z
Z
Your
occupancy
tax
can
be
noted
on
the
platform
to
clear
up
that
whole
thing,
so
you
can
show
that
that's
what
you're
spending
and
it
isn't
then
this
hidden
cost
that
doesn't
let
you
be
competitive
to
people
that
are
running
at
a
lower
rate.
Just
want
to
say
that,
anyway,
thanks
you
guys
all
right.
Thank
you.
D
I
have
to
admit
that
I
actually
don't
know
that
much
about
Airbnb,
our
short-term
rentals.
Only
from
what
I've
read
and
so
I
just
I
think
you're
on
the
right
page
with
this,
but
keep
in
mind
that
you
know
you
have
a
lot
of
young
families
that
are
trying
to
afford
a
house-
maybe
it's
their
first
house.
So
they
need
flexibility
from
that
standpoint
because
things
happen
in
life,
and
this
is
what
I've
read
they
could
lose
their
job,
they
could
have
one
of
their
kids.
D
That
has
a
you,
know,
health
problem
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
you
know
they
need.
They
need
that
income
to
stay
in
that
house,
and
it
could
also
be
a
senior
citizen
that
you
know
doesn't
have
much
of
a
pension
later
on
in
life
and
they
have
cost
and
they
need
that
flexibility.
Otherwise,
all
those
examples
have
possibilities
of
losing
their
houses
and
so
I
think
that
is
sort
of
like
one
of
the
most
important
things
to
keep
in
mind.
D
There's
there
is
a
history
of
this,
and
especially
poor
communities
that
are
people
that
are
living
from
paycheck
to
paychecked.
It
could
be
something
as
simple
as
you
know,
as
utilities
that
have
gone
up
along
with
one
of
the
things
that
I've
said:
major
medical
or
loss
of
work
any
of
those
scenarios,
so
you
need
to
I,
think
you're,
I,
think
you're
sort
of
addressing
that,
but
I'm
just
wanna
I
wanna
make
sure
that
you're.
D
You
know
thinking
about
all
those
possibilities.
I
could
say
that
from
the
cap
standpoint
that
somebody
could
say
from
that
standpoint
that
is
new
into
the
system,
that
sort
of
the
ones
that
got
involved
early
in
the
process
are
holding
the
permits
and
they
could
probably
make
the
argument
that
it's
it's
kind
of
unfair
to
them,
because
they'll
never
have
that
opportunity
to
you
know
get
into
the
system
it's
going
to
be
held
by
those
early,
Pioneers,
I
guess
in
Airbnb
process.
So
that's
also
something
to
keep
in
mind.
D
So
it's
not
a
it
doesn't
sound
like
it's.
It's
an
easy
decision
to
make
on
some
things.
It's
but
it
just
you
know
ultimately,
I
think
people
need
to
be
able
to
have
some
flexibility
in
keeping
their
houses,
and
you
weigh
that
against
the
stories
that
you
heard
early
on
in
big
cities,
where
some
people
that
were
really
greedy,
that
weren't
even
and
the
owners
of
the
house,
they
just
got
long-term
leases
and
they
rented
properties
out
and
some
of
them
made
like
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars.
F
Hi
I
am
a
long-term
tenant
in
Arcata
and
I
live
in
a
neighborhood.
That
I
know
has
at
least
two
short-term
rentals
on
my
street,
a
couple
blocks
away,
which
is
great
because
they
have
little
signs
out
there,
nothing
about
a
phone
number,
but
you
just
kind
of
know
that
that's
one
of
those
places
where
people
are
coming
and
going
and
it's
sort
of
nice.
F
Sometimes
when
I
see
people,
unloading
and
stuff,
you
know,
I
can
greet
them
and
have
a
conversation,
I
think
phone
numbers
on
a
on
a
fence
or
whatever
is
not
necessary,
but
I
do
think.
As
Alex
Stillman
pointed
out,
people
who
have
a
sign,
that's
kind
of
promoting
a
place
that
people
walking
by
might
notice
is,
is
not
a
bad
idea.
F
I
would
like
to
know
in
terms
of
you
know,
safety.
You
know
what
houses
on
my
street
are
being
rented
short
term
so
that
if
I
see
strangers
can
coming
around
it's,
you
know
somebody
that's
staying
there
and
not
somebody
who's
trying
to
do
something
else
there.
So
a
little
bit
of
attention
to
let
people
know
that
your
business
is
right.
There.
Businesses
have
signs
on
their.
You
know,
front
windows
all
the
time
and
it
could
be
the
creative
name
of
your
little
short-term
rental
or
not.
K
AA
AA
The
reasons
I
heard,
didn't
really
sound,
very
convincing
I
think
one
of
them
was
oh.
If
a
long-term
renter
is
running
on
the
same
property
as
that
there's
a
short-term
renter,
they
don't
like
people
coming
and
going
you
know.
The
thing
is:
is
that
in
Arcata
there's
a
lot
of
limitations
for
all
renters?
AA
Okay,
whether
it
be
you
can't
have
pets
or
you
can't
smoke
or
you
can't
have
parties
or
whatever
so
I
think
that
if
somebody
is
going
to
apply
to
live
in
a
place-
and
it
has
a
short-term
rental
and
they're
disclosed
of
that
that's
their
choice.
So
that's
one
thing.
The
other
thing
is
that
I
feel
like
taking.
That
exemption
out
is
a
little
bit
of
an
infringement
on
private
property
rights.
In
my
opinion,
to
tell
somebody,
oh
you
know
you,
you
know
you
have
to
do
this.
AA
You
know
you
can't,
and
that
goes
in
line
with
the
operator's
cap.
I
know
that
on
South,
G,
Street
I
think
one
of
you
mentioned
I
think
they
call
it
the
front.
AA
Porch
he's
got
several
units
and
I,
don't
know
if
he
lives
on
the
property
or
not,
but
I
I
think
if
you're
going
to
have
a
cap
of
a
hundred
or
less
that
you
ten
percent
that
you
could
have
one
person
could
have
ten
of
them
really
I
think
that
maybe
two
or
three
should
be
a
limit
for
everybody,
because
why
should
because,
like
someone's
like
the
gentleman
just
said,
there
might
be
somebody
that
wants
to
get
in
on
this
and
they
don't
get
to
get
on
it,
because
somebody
has
10
out
of
a
hundred.
AA
AA
You
know
I,
don't
like
the
signage,
but
in
a
way
I
do
like
the
signage,
because
I
live
in
a
neighborhood
where
everybody's
got
a
second
unit
and
they
rent.
You
know
we
have
a
million
cars
and-
and
oh
you
want
to
know
your
neighbors
well,
every
semester
there's
a
whole
new
set
of
them.
So
we
don't
get
to
know
our
neighbors
anyway.
AA
So
if
you're
going
to
have
signs-
and
maybe
you
should
have
signs
for
everybody-
because
a
lot
of
these
people
who
have
these
rentals
are
out
of
town
and
they
have
parties
and
they
smoke
and
they
and
they
make
noise
and
okay
a
lot
of
these
students
that
are
renting.
So
maybe
we
should
all
have
a
sign.
So
we
can
know
who
to
call
when
you
know
their
rental
is
the
other
thing
I
want
to
say
is
that?
Is
there
a
business
license
for
each
rental?
AA
So
if
a
person
has
10
units
for
short-term
rental,
do
they
have
a
business
license
for
each
one
because
they
probably
should
and
and
while
we're
on
it?
Maybe
there
should
be
a
business
rental,
a
business
license
for
every
rental
that
a
person
owns
in
town
also,
I,
don't
know
if
you
have
that
as
a
requirement.
So
thank
you
very
much.
AB
A
All
right,
thank
you,
I
imagine.
We
have
folks
online.
C
AC
All
right
so
I
just
wanted
to
bring
the
council's
attention
to
just
some
of
the
data
and
statistics
of
for
the
short-term
rentals
in
Arcata.
So
this
is
coming
from
Air
DNA,
which
is
taking
data
from
the
API
of
Airbnb,
so
in
Arcata,
72
of
the
short-term
listings
are
on
Airbnb
five
percent
on
VRBO
and
so
there's
a
whole
plethora
of
data
to
look
at
the
average
daily
rate,
occupancy
rate
and
revenue.
AC
So
looking
at
the
revenue
for
September
2020
we've
got
people.
The
average
coming
in
is
around
four
thousand
dollars
a
month,
with
everywhere
from
seven
thousand
six
thousand
four
thousand
three
thousand
coming
in
depending
on
the
rental
size.
So
you
know
her
bedroom.
It's
broken
down!
There's
some!
You
know
five
plus
bedrooms
bringing
in
17
000
a
month
for
their
Airbnb,
and
this
is
a
real-time
data
from
September
1st
2022..
AC
Looking
at
this
Revenue
and
the
possibilities
there,
you
know
I
I,
don't
want
to
Discount
the
just
the
gross
amount
of
money.
That's
coming
in
for
people
with
multiple
airbnbs
I
think
it's
appropriate
for
someone
to
have
a
single
Airbnb
for
supplemental
income.
AC
I
myself
Airbnb
my
apartment
in
Denver
when
I
first
started
my
business
and
made
over
fourteen
thousand
dollars
in
nine
months
and
that's
kind
of
what
started
my
entrepreneurship.
So
you
know
there's
real
value
in
that,
if
you're
on
a
fixed
income
or
you're,
using
this
kind
of
to
supplement
your
retirement
or
even
your
rent,
renting
out
a
bedroom.
However,
looking
at
the
data,
the
majority
of
airbnbs
are
multiple
unit
owners,
and
so
you
know
to
the
point
that
some
other
folks
have
made
having
a
cap
doesn't
really
address.
AC
You
know
these
kinds
of
sort
of
like
short-term
rental
monopolies
so,
rather
than
implementing
a
cap,
what
I
would
I
think
this
you
know
begs
a
larger
discussion
and
probably
another
agenda
item
or
you
know
a
future
project
for
the
council.
But
in
essence,
you
know
by
by
implementing
larger
fees,
to
have
a
short-term
rental
outside
of
one.
AC
This
could
be
a
way
to
fund
a
future
Housing
Trust
Fund,
for
instance
using
that
fund,
not
only
to
help
with
you
know:
General
housing,
trust
funds,
but
to
incentivize
people
to
revert
their
short-term
rentals
back
into
long-term
rentals.
So.
AC
And
just
for
reference,
this
is
from
Air
DNA,
but
I
would
suggest
diving
into
that,
as
well
as
seeking
out
the
API
for
Airbnb
in
order
to
get
some
more
of
those
hard
numbers.
Okay,
thank
you.
C
There
is
no
more
online
public
comment.
There
was
a
couple
of
calling.
Oh,
we
do
have
one
more
okay,
it's
been
a
couple
that
have
gone
up
and
down
so
I.
O
AD
Oh
apologies
for
that
title.
My
name
is
Jeffrey
Scott
Sterling,
a
local
resident
of
Arcata
running
for
city
council
as
well.
The
charmer
Arcata,
Arcata,
Plaza
and
the
Arcata
needs
to
be
preserved.
We
don't
want
to
lose.
AD
We
don't
want
to
lose
that,
but
we
want
to
expand
on
growth
and
make
sure
we
take
care
of
our
sword
Beauty.
So
putting
caps
and
stopping
our
Beauty
and
our
charm
is
dangerous.
I
think,
but
thank
you.
A
A
Yes,
I'm
here,
all
right,
great,
just
making
sure
we're
all
here?
Okay,
so
we
have
a
couple
more
things
to
do
to
get
through
this,
and
so
we
heard
a
lot
of
public
comment.
Thank
you
does
anything.
My
question
is:
does
anything
that
you
heard
today
change
your
thoughts,
I.
N
I
was
being
very
animated
about
it.
I
apologize,
no
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
think
that
we
should
cap
the
number
of
permits
one
owner
can
have
and
that's
per
property
right.
That's
not,
or
is
that
per
unit
on
a
property
or
would
that
be
per
property
that
they're
renting
out.
T
You
you
could
set
the
cap
based
on
the
property
right
now.
The
permits
are
issued
per
unit,
and
so,
for
instance,
we
have
one
property
owner.
Who
has
you
know?
Multiple
properties
I
think
she
owns
about
three
properties.
One
of
the
properties
has
a
12
unit
apartment
complex
on
that
on
it
of
those
12
units.
The
majority
of
them
are
short,
stay
vacation,
rentals,
and
so
she
has
multiple
permits
on
that
one
property.
And
so,
if
you
crafted
a
limitation,
you
could
make
that
limitation.
N
I,
like
the
idea
of
and
and
so
then
I
mean,
obviously
then,
if
somebody
has
12
permits
now
that
would
be
grandfathered
in.
If
we
said
10
was
the
max
yeah
I
think
that's
pretty
overly
Fair
honestly
I.
Think
10
is
a
lot.
I
wrote
five,
but
that
was
more
thinking
about
the
properties
total
yeah
I
I
would,
if
other
people
are
interested
I.
N
You
know
I'm
happy
with
what
we
came
up
with
before
and
I
would
go
forward
with
with
that,
but
I
would
maybe
suggest
adding
yeah
a
cap
of
10
permits
for
individual
units.
N
K
T
N
M
Yeah
and
I
feel
like
10
is
pretty
reasonable
and
you
know
I
definitely
support
what
Alex
is
saying.
Is
you
know
we
want
to
support
business
owners
and
I
mean
10
vacation
rentals.
You
know,
we
know
the
reason
people
do
them
is
instead
of
renting
to
a
college
student
or
renting
to
another.
Member
of
the
community
is
because
they're,
typically
a
lot
more
profitable,
so
I
think
you
know
allowing
somebody
to
have
10
is,
you
know,
should
be
a
pretty
good
business
for
them
still.
P
Matt
I'm
willing
to
entertain
that
as
long
as
it's
from
now
forward,
and
not
penalizing
people
that
already
have
properties,
we.
N
V
Yeah,
the
legal
question
is
whether
the
the
permits
have
a
fixed
term,
in
which
case
then
it
would
be
at
the
end
of
the
term
and
and
and
what
David
is
telling
me
is
that
they
are
automatically
renewed,
so
they
are
termed,
but
then
it's
an
automatic
extension.
So
the
answer
is
we
really
can't
take
it
away
short
of
a
violation
of
the
permit
conditions,
all.
A
Can
we,
let's
finish
this
up,
please
just
just
so.
We
know
where
we're
headed
okay,
then
we
can
do
that
I,
just
it's
I,
really
just
to
put
it
out
there
don't
believe
in
putting
it
out
there
and
taking
it
back
like
we've
done
that
before
it
doesn't
look
well
for
us,
so
I
wouldn't
want
to
entertain
that
at
all.
A
Just
my
opinion,
I'm
still
a
no
on
this,
but
it's
I
mean
where
there's
a
lot
of
compromising,
so
it
won't
I'm
not
going
to
not
vote
on
it
because
of
that,
but
I
just
for
the
record
I'm
keeping
my
vote
as
no
but
I'm
going
to
be
out
voted
so
that
you
know
that's
okay.
K
I
think
I
did
before
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
Transit
occupancy
tax
and
that
we're
going
to
expect
the
individuals
that
are
operating
their
businesses
to
pay
their
Transit
options
tax
to
the
city
and
that
we
aren't
going
to
go
as
suggested
here.
The
city
pursue
contracts
with
other
platforms,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
agree
that
our
business
people
and
shorts
say
we're
going
to
collect
their
own
okay.
V
And
I
I
just
want
to
point
out,
as
the
council
answers
her
question,
that
this
is
something
that
won't
go
into
the
ordinance
you're
providing
direction
to
staff
because
the
transit
occupancy
tax
now
has
you
know
it's
its
own
Provisions
for
who
it
applies
to,
and
it
applies
to.
You
know,
businesses
in
Arcata,
so
it
applies
to
all
of
these
that
are
that
are
being
used
as
the
short
stay
rental,
because
that's
a
business.
V
So
that's
the
presumption
and
really
what
what
the
discussion
is
about
is
is
direction
to
the
the
you
know,
City
in
terms
of
how
it
should
be
implemented
and
how
the
shorts
the
tot
should
be
collected,
and
so
it
can
come
back
at
the
next
meeting
when
you
know
or.
V
The
ordinance
is
brought
forward
with
the
revisions
for
your
consideration.
I
think
that
the
direction
you
give
tonight
is
really
helpful,
but
it's
not
something
that
needs
to
be
decided
immediately.
As
part
of
this.
K
Well,
I
did
ask
the
Chapman
house
on
the
break,
and
I
was
told
that
you
know
they
get
booking
through
Airbnb,
but
they
also
get
repeat
people
that
call
them
directly
through
their
website
or
after
they've
come
under
Airbnb.
They
contact
them
directly
and
because
they
then
collect
the
tax.
But
it's
not
through
the
organization.
K
K
P
I
just
want
to
go
back
to
the
what
we
were
talking
about
long
no.
P
And
I
I,
I
kind
of
I
think
I'm
agreeing
with
the
mayor.
I
think
that
we
had
a
really
good
path
forward,
that
we
were
going
to
kind
of
revisit
it
in
a
year.
Was
that
what
we
had
agreed
on
and
I.
P
M
So
I
think
that's
why
you
know
we
consider
doing
it
preemptively
before
it
becomes
a
problem
and
that's
why
we
talked
about
creating
a
cap
for
this.
It's
really
the
same
scenario
you
know
before
we
didn't
have
a
hundred
I,
think
there's
like
50
or
60,
maybe
registered
in
the
city,
vacation,
rentals
and
then
as
soon
as
we,
you
know,
impose
some
kind
of
limit
on
it.
Then
all
of
a
sudden
everybody
started
applying
and
now
we're
over
our
cap.
M
So
and
again
you
know,
as
we
pointed
out
that
you
know,
we
can't
take
the
permits
back.
So
you
know
what
if
and
instead
you
know
we
asked
if
I
don't
know
you
know,
if
we
I
don't
know,
we
just
asked
the
staff
to
keep
an
eye
on
it
and
if
we
get
five
people
I,
don't
know.
You
know
some
kind
of
reasonable
number,
where
we
kind
of
approach
that
and
then
it
comes
back
to
us,
yeah.
P
M
M
Yeah
cool
yeah,
so
yeah,
you
know
I
think
we
could
just
trust
staff
to
you
know
I
think
I
feel
like
that.
They
probably
understand
what
we're
looking
at
and
just
to
you
know,
request
that
that
you
know
if
they
feel
like
they
see.
You
know
a
lot
of
people.
You
know
a
few
people
Gathering
up
a
lot
of
permits
that
they,
let
us
know
thanks
I,.
A
So
I'm
gonna
attempt
to
set
up
the
motion.
So
if
somebody
would
like
to
make
this,
it
would
be
that
we
would
like
to
add
an
exemption
for
long-term.
We
would
like
the
exemption
for
long-term
tenant
tendency
to
be
eliminated.
O
S
U
A
So
that
takes
us
to
new
business,
to
have
a
public
hearing
to
adopt
resolution
number
223-18
authorizing
for
submission
of
an
application
for
funding
under
the
permanent
local
housing
allocation
program,
2022
notice
of
funding
availability
and
the
execution
of
a
grant
agreement
and
any
amendments.
There
too,
and
adopt
resolution
number
223-20
authorizing
approval
of
a
contract
agreement
with
the
city
of
fortuna
subgrant
of
its
2019
plha
allocation.
And
that
is
a
lot.
So
could
we
please
have
a
staff
report
to
clarify.
T
I'm
also
going
to
be
exceedingly
brief,
because
I'm
sure,
if
Emily
Emily
were
still
sitting
in
the
audience,
she'd
be
throwing
daggers
at
me
with
her
eyeballs.
T
The
permanent
local
housing
allocation
is
a
direct
allocation
that
the
state
has
initiated
through
sb2
funds
that
were
generated
in
2019.
We
have
a
couple
years
of
funds
that
were
eligible
for,
and
so
what
that's?
What
the
first
resolution.
T
223-223-18
rather
authorizes
is
the
application
for
those
monies
that
we
are
non-competitively
authorized
to
get,
and
then
the
friendly
Folks
At
The,
Friendly
City,
were
not
able
to
use
their
2019
allocation
and
so
22320
authorized
the
city
manager
to
enter
enter
into
an
agreement
to
receive
their
funds
to
use
them
in
the
city
of
Arcata.
T
In
order
to
use
these
funds,
we
have
to
demonstrate
to
hcd
that
we
have
a
plan
you'll
find
that
plan
as
I
guess
attachment
B,
starting
on
packet,
page
46
and
effectively
what
the
plan
does
is
outlines.
What
the
eligible
uses
are,
what
the
total
amounts
of
funding
are
that
will
get
over
the
course
of
the
plha
program
years
and
then
what
we're
proposing
to
use
these.
T
For
after
we
had
the
initial
scoping
meeting
and
after
digging
into
the
detail
onto
how
to
use
these
funds
in
our
community,
we
realize
that
the
the
most
efficient
way
to
use
these
funds
and
the
way
that
is
going
to
be
most
effective,
we
believe,
is
to
put
the
funds
into
a
project.
T
That's
shovel
ready,
and
so
what
the
plan
does
is
say
that
we
are
going
to
use
these
funds
for
either
pre-development
or
development
costs
for
a
project
that
will
create
that
affordable
housing
in
our
community
I've
already
spoken
with
a
couple
of
potential
projects,
and
we
don't
need
to
commit
to
the
project.
At
this
point
we
would
come
back
to
you
and
commit
to
that
project.
T
We
just
need
to
talk
about
in
in
at
this
time
what
we
would
use
those
funds
for
the
type
of
activity
and
I
think
those
are
the
highlights
that
I
wanted
to
point
out
to
you.
Oh
with
the
one
exception
that
this
wonky
resolution
22318
is
the
state's
required
format.
If
you
read
this
in
detail,
you
probably
were
scratching
your
head,
as
I
was
the
first
time
I
read
it.
There
are
several
things
on
here
that
say,
if
applicable,
that
do
not
apply
to
what
we're
doing.
T
We
are
advised
that
we
may
not
change
this
resolution
that
if
we
do
it
will
slow
down
the
the
process
and
maybe
cause
us
to
have
to
do
it
again
so
I'm
going
to
recommend
that
you
adopt
it.
As
is
with
that
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
It
is
a
public
hearing.
So
if
you
open
it
and
receive
public
comment
on
this,
that
would
be
great.
A
Questions
like
roll
call
style
so
council,
member
Stillman.
Do
you
have
any
questions
on
this.
T
Yeah,
that's
a
that's
a
possibility.
This
is
the
last
year
that
the
2019
funds
are
eligible
after
this
year.
Those
funds
go
away
and
so
Fortuna
said,
go
ahead
and
take
our
2019
funds.
At
this
point,
We've
also
partnered
with
Fortuna.
You
know
they
have
a
very
small
staff
and
that's
coming
from
me,
and
you
know:
we've
we've
partnered
with
them
before
on.
You
know
like
the
cdbg
CV
money
to
help.
T
You
know
facilitate
activities
in
Fortuna
and
we've
committed
to
doing
that
with
them
on
this
as
well
to
help
them
build
the
capacity
provide
them.
You
know,
staff
reports,
you
know
the
you
know
any
of
the
resolutions
that
we
put
together-
and
you
know
just
you
know,
someone
to
bounce
ideas
off
of
as
well
and
so
we're
hoping
that
they'll
be
able
to
use
their
additional
allocations
for
2020
and
moving
forward,
but
they
may
just
get
to
the
point
at
some
point
and
say
you
know,
look
take
take
all
of
our
money.
T
M
Yeah
could
directly,
could
you
please
just
cover
some
of
the,
as
you
described
it
if
applicables
that
you
said
that
we're
advised
not
to
change.
T
Yeah,
just
briefly
on
packet,
page
44
bullet
items,
five
through
ten
state,
if
applicable,
the
council
would
be
you
know,
adopting
this
resolution,
so
this
is
under
not
the
recitals,
but
the
actual
resolution
part
and
so,
for
example,
bullet
number.
Six
says:
if
applic,
if
applicable,
applicant,
certifies
that
it
has
or
will
sub-grant
some
or
all
of
its
plha
funds
to
another
entity
or
entities.
We
are
not
planning
to
do
that.
T
M
Packet
page
53,
I
guess
on
the
resolution
yeah
in
the
resolution
number
five.
It
says
the
city
of
Arcata
hereby
authorizes
the
City
attorney
to
make
minor
modifications
to
the
contract
agreement
as
necessary,
and
I
was
just
you
know
like.
Can
we
get
an
idea
or
like
what's
the
definition
of
a
minor
modification.
T
T
T
But
if,
as
we
get
into
it,
there
are
you
know,
minor
language,
changes
that
need
to
be
made
so
that
it's
acceptable
to
the
ACD,
so
that
Fortuna
can
actually
you
know,
sub
Grant
its
money
to
us.
Then
we
are
asking
for
authorization
at
the
City
attorney
level
to
make
those
changes
as
opposed
to
bringing
it
back
to
the
council
and
having
to
revive,
go
through
the
process
of
you
know.
T
P
T
Yeah,
so
we're
not
picking
the
specific
project.
If
you
look
at
the
plan
starting
on
packet,
page
46
under
the
purpose,
it
does
outline
all
of
the
different
eligible
activities
under
this
funding.
But
then,
instead
of
allowing
for
all
of
that
flexibility,
we've
really
narrowed
it
down
to
just
the
pre-development
and
development
costs
for
a
project.
So
the
plha
allowed
for
all
kinds
of
flexibility,
including
you
know,
programs
to
to
create
you
know
first-time
homebuyer
programs
for
moderate
income
people,
for
example,
yeah.
P
T
So
those
those
kinds
of
things
I
mean
we
just
really
do
not
have
the
capacity
to
run
a
program
like
that
I
think
it
would
be.
You
know
great
for
our
community
to
have
better.
You
know
a
program
like
that.
We've
talked
about
it
for
a
number
of
years
trying
to
create
a
moderate
income
homebuyer
program.
In
addition,
the
housing
costs
right
now
and
the
the
income
levels
for
for
moderate
income
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
disconnect,
and
so
it
would
still
we'd
create
a
program.
T
T
We
know
that
we
can
find
a
project
that
meets
the
requirements
and
that
we
can
spend
that
money
within
the
next
couple
of
years
and
meet
the
the
the
timelines
to
make
the
most
use
for
these
funds.
We
don't
know
how
many
moderate
income
home
buyers
are
out
there.
T
That
would
take
advantage
of
those
programs
or
whether
the
market
is
even
going
to
be
suitable
for
a
program
like
that,
and
so,
instead
of
you
know,
attempting
to
develop
a
program
that
we
don't
have
the
staff
capacity
to
run
that
we
don't
know,
we
can
fully
Implement
and
then
lose
the
money.
Ultimately
we're
suggesting
that
we
put
all
of
our
eggs
into
the
one
basket
where
we
know
we
can
quickly
Infuse
all
of
that
money
into
a
project.
That's
going
to
have
an
impact
on
housing
in
our
community,
fair.
P
A
And
just
if
it
helps
just
a
lot
of
the
housing
meetings
that
I'm
in
they're
pre-development
funding
beca
is
an
issue
and
that's
one
of
the
things
that
stops
a
lot
of
projects
so
I
think.
Actually
it
will
be
really
helpful
for
housing.
Great.
A
Okay,
I.
AC
K
So
I
moved
we
adopt
resolution
number
223-18
authorizing
the
submission
of
an
application
for
funding
under
the
permanent
local
housing
allocation
program,
2022
notice
of
funding,
availability,
nofa
and
the
execution
of
a
grant
agreement
and
any
amendments
thereto.
An
adoption
resolution
number
223-20
authorizing
approval
of
a
contractor
agreement
with
the
city
of
fortuna
subgrant
of
its
2019
plha
allocation.
P
A
F
Oh,
my
hi
I
don't
get
the
agenda
packet
information,
but
you
said
on
page
46
the
listing
of
existing
projects
that
this
money
would
be
doing.
Pre-Development
application
for
there's
some
existing
local
projects
on
low-income
housing
is
that
there's
specific
projects.
A
P
A
R
So
one
of
the
key
things
that
we've
noted
is
that
there
is
a
newer
state
law,
state,
Senate,
Bill
946,
the
safe
sidewalk
vending
act.
That
really
has
a
goal
to
end
criminalization
of
sidewalk
vending
of
fruit
stands,
and
this
has
been
a
really
larger
issue
in
Southern
California
and
it
really
outlines
opportunities
for
local
jurisdictions
to
set
regulations
within
that
law,
either
by
ordinance
or
resolution
truly
ensure
safety,
public
health
and
safety
and
Welfare,
while
also
really
wanting
to
make
sure
that
we're
allowing
for
vending
of
food
beverages
merchandise
for
entrepreneurship.
R
So
that
is
what
is
before
you
today.
This
sidewalk
vending
is
really
defined
as
vending
from
one's
person
or
a
cart
anything
not
with
a
motor.
So
it
does
not
apply
to
food
trucks,
and
also,
this
really
would
not
be
associated
with
a
special
event
permits.
And
so
we
have
a
really
robust
and
successful
special
event
permit
program
and
so
vendors
that
we're
used
to
vending
at
the
farmer's
market
or
North,
Country,
Fair
or
Main
Street
Arts
Arcata
events.
R
The
city
has
received
numerous
comments
or
questions
from
community
members
and
business
owners
in
the
downtown
area
in
particular
about
you
know.
What
are
the
regulations
for
sidewalk
vending
and
hoping
for
just
clear
guidance?
R
Both
you
know
mostly
from
the
city
and
also
have
had
conversations
of
business
owners
that
said,
I
got.
You
know
my
start
of
having
a
vending
booth,
and
that
was
a
great
way
for
me
to
enter
the
the
business
and
have
an
idea
of
how
to
move
forward.
R
R
So
we
have
in
the
staff
report
and
on
the
packet
page.
R
Let's
see
I,
don't
have
that
in
sorry.
Don't
have
that
in
exact
packet.
Page
on
125
is
the
the
resolution
that
starts
out
that
lays
out
our
findings.
R
I
do
have
staff
has
one
suggested
addition
to
the
draft
resolution,
and
that
was
provided
to
the
council
members
in
hard
copy,
and
then
we
are
pulling
it
up
here
in
the
chambers,
and
so
the
city
has
an
existing
Plaza
vending
program.
R
That
is
the
regulations
for
both
food
trucks
and
sidewalk
vendors,
and
so
our
suggested
addition
to
what
is
in
your
packet
is
for
consistency
with
that
current
regulation
and
that
stationary
sidewalk
vendors
within
the
interior,
section
of
the
plaza
would
be
designated
to
three
three
areas
that
would
be
on
a
first
come
first
serve
basis
daily
and
really
to
ensure
that,
on
a
daily
basis,
there's
really
safe
and
clear.
Pedestrian
travel
through
through
the
Plaza
other
suggested
operating
requirements
are
really
ensuring
that
we
have.
R
R
P
P
R
I,
you
know
I,
think
technically,
if
you're
on
your
private
property
and
you're
having
a
lemonade,
stand
like
that,
that
is
great
technically
for
any
you
know,
sale
or
action,
that's
happening
in
the
public
right-of-way.
We
have
either
the
encroachment
permit
process
if
you're
putting
up
a
ladder
to
paint
a
private
building.
You
know
that
is
also
kind
of
through
that
process.
So,
but
there's
a
lot
of
informal
Commerce
that
occurs
and
that's
what
makes
our
communities
really
inviting
and
engaging.
K
Well,
so
on
Saturday
there
were
at
least
nine
vendors
around
on
the
corners
of
the
Plaza
that
we're
not
part
of
the
farmer's
market
and
the
farmer's
market
has
signs.
So
you
can't
bend
on
there,
so
they
were
over
by
caravana
dreams.
That
was
one.
There
was
one
in
between
cars.
They
were
in
front
of
probably
District
Seven.
There
was
somebody
on
the
corner
by
the
post
office.
Then
you
get
over
to
Brio.
There
was
two
or
three
of
them
there.
K
R
And
thank
you
there's
one.
You
know
key
question
that
has
come
up
and
what
is
able
to
be
regulated
under
the
state
law
is
having
a
distance
of
vending
a
distance
away
from
an
existing
permitted
special
event,
so
that
being
farmers
markets
or
a
permitted
event
on
the
Plaza,
for
example,
or
in
another
location,
where
you
know,
perhaps,
on
the
previous
day
there,
the
vendor
could
locate
there,
but
during
that
special
event
needing
to
be
200
feet
away,
is
what
we
proposed
in
the
resolution.
K
And
that's
happened
during
when
Arcata
Main
Street
has
had
their
Arts
they've
been.
There
are
vendors
they're
down
a
little
bit
here
and
a
little
bit
there
yeah,
so
they're
asked
to
come
in
and
join,
but
they
don't
want
to
pay.
C
A
fee
yeah,
if
you
turn
to
page
129
in
your
packet
and
the
operating
requirements,
will
list
kind
of
some
of
the
basic
requirements
that
vending
would
be
prohibited
within
30
feet
of
a
Street
intersection,
20
feet
of
a
fire.
Hydrant
call
box,
Transformer
20
feet
of
any
driveway,
and
then
you
get
down
into
you,
know:
200
feet
of
permitted,
Farmers,
Market,
special
event
or
area
designated
for
temporary
use.
Well,.
K
E
P
R
I,
you
know
I
would
say
this
is
an
opportunity
to
have
a
clear
pathway
on
paper
and
I.
Think
the
first
thing
is
providing
that
education
on
here
is
the
pathway.
Do
you
need
assistance
with
that?
And
you
know
our
environmental
services
department
has,
you
know
some
limited
capacity
for
that
I
think
there's
opportunities,
hopefully,
when
the
council
Hears
A
next
meeting
with
update
on
the
community
ambassador
program
in
the
downtown
area.
R
That
could
be
another
education
piece
that
perhaps
they
could
provide,
and
then
there
are
the
there
are
the
administrative
citation
parameters
that
relate
back
to
the
code
that
could
be
carried
forward
and
again
it
is
a
what
what
our
staff
and
what
the
police
department
has
capacity
for,
but
I
think
the
first
thing
is
really
providing
the
education
for
here's.
The
pathway.
N
I
wanted
to
ask
and
I
guess:
I
did
see
the
the
definition
of
vending
does
mean,
obviously
selling
something
and
so
I.
Just
what
comes
to
my
mind
is
I
just
know
that
there
are
a
few
local
organizations
that
offer
you
know
free
meals
or
whatever,
on
the
Plaza,
and
so
that
would
not
be
affected
by
this.
If
they're
not
selling
it
yeah
food,
not
bombs,
yeah,
yes,.
R
Would
I
would
say
they're
for
some?
Some
of
those
events
are
of
more
spontaneous
events
and
may
not
fall
under.
R
You
know
that
that
category,
as
this
definition
is
written,
it's
sort
of
as
the
act
of
conveying
or
transporting
goods
or
food,
you
know,
so
that
is
one
of
the
type
of
organizations
great
yes,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
So,
back
to
what
my
first
comment
was
of
those
type
of
events
often
fall
under
more
of
the
spontaneous
events
category
that
a
permit
is
not
needed
for.
R
If
you
have
input
on
any
of
the
current,
what
is
drafted
as
operational
requirements
or
requirements
to
get
a
permit,
and
then
staff
does
suggest
adding
this
item
D
for
operational
requirements
that
speaks
to
having
three
specific
designated
locations
for
sidewalk
vending
within
the
interior
of
the
plaza
staff
would
suggest
adding
as
amended
or
as
as
amended
during
this
meeting
kind
of
in
your
motion
for
approving
the
resolution.
M
Yeah,
you
know
it's
definitely
worth
there's
no
harm
in
passing
this
and
seeing
how
it
goes
and
amending
it
later.
My
you
know,
the
question
immediately
comes
to
mind
is
what
led
to
the
creation
of
this
resolution.
R
And
then
I
think
the
next
impetus
was
hearing
from
downtown
business
owners
and
community
members
asking
you
know,
questions
current
special
event.
Permit
holders
asking
questions
about
the
what
the
city's
regulations
are
and
per
state
law
the
city
needing
to
have
regulations
on
the
books
that
meet
that
state
law
in
order
to
provide
that
education
or
enforcement
yeah.
R
Things
that
the
city
cannot
do
without
adopting
its
regulations
via
ordinance
or
resolution,
and
one
of
those
you
know,
is
requiring
vendors
to
not
be
in
certain
areas
or
to
be
in
certain.
A
Well,
I
can
add
in
a
little
bit
of
context
from
from
my
point
of
view,
I've
received
a
lot
of
complaints
and
concerns
about
vending.
A
You
know
just
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
let's
just
say
in
the
in
specifically
in
the
plaza
area,
and
so
that's
been
from
you
know,
from
citizens
and
from
business
owners,
and
so
when
I
would
go
back
and
ask
hey
what
are
the
policies
on
vending
because
I'm
sure
that
you've
noticed
there's
people
like
we've
talked
about
vending
everywhere
in
a
lot
of
places
that
are
not
appropriate
or
safe,
and
so,
when
I
would
come
back
and
ask
those
questions,
I
was
told
when
there's
no
we're
not
really
enforcing
anything
right
now,
because
our
our
current
policies
are
outdated,
and
so
this
is
an
update
or
an
attempt
to
come.
U
A
Ideally
enforce
it
right.
M
M
M
I
mean.
Is
that
an
opportunity
that's
offered
to
each
council
member,
any
council
member
can
come
forward
to
staff
and
say
I
think
this
is
a
problem.
Will
you
please
write
a
resolution?
Well
I'm
just
trying
you
know
like
what
is
our
standard
procedure
you
know.
Is
it
normal?
For
you
know
some
Community
concerns
to
automatically
turn
into
a
resolution,
or
should
that
be
discussed
first
by
the
council
to
then
decide
if
we
should
give
that
direction
to
staff.
Well,.
A
I
just
want
to
clarify
and
I
I.
Don't
think
this
is
going
to
make
it
better.
It
might
make
it
worse
for
you,
but
it's
just
how
it
is
is
when
I
brought
that
question
up.
I
wasn't
the
one
because
it
wasn't
because
I
brought
it
up.
It
was
already
in
process,
so
that
was
the
answer.
I
got.
This
is
something
that
we've
been
working
on.
We
need
to
create
updated
policies,
so
I
don't
know
how.
M
But
yeah,
what
I'm
hearing
is
we
actually
didn't
need
to
create
an
update,
the
policy
it
wasn't
required
by
the
state
and
then
what
you
just
described
is
that
the
staff
is
already
working
on
this
without
any
direction
from
the
council.
So
it's
a
great
idea.
I
support
it.
Let's
move
it
forward,
but
applying
this
to
any
other
decision.
Imagine
this
was
a
decision.
M
You
didn't
disagree
with
maybe-
or
you
did
disagree
with
your
other
council
members,
you
know,
went
to
the
staff
and
wanted
it
or
community
members
brought
it
forth
and
staff
started
working
on
it.
It's
just
not
the
way
things
are
supposed
to
come
to
the
council.
You
know
the
staff
is
supposed
it's
not
in
our
goals.
M
You
know
it's
our
system
is
that
the
staff
uses
City
resources
on
things
that
they're
direct
to
by
the
council.
So
it's
a
great
idea,
let's
move
it
forward,
but
the
process
you
know
how
it
came
about
and
how
it
got
to
us
is
concerning
to
me
thank.
K
You
but
I
I
heard
our
staff
say
that
they
had
gotten
this
information.
They
wanted
to
be
in
compliance
with
City
with
California
law
and
and
so
they
started
to
move
forward.
It's
definitely
an
issue
and
I
I
think
it
was
I,
think
it's
good
for
us
to
try
to
stay
up
to
date
on
California
law
and
what
is
happening
throughout
California,
so
that
we
are
in
that
same
place,
that
other
cities
are
throughout
California.
A
Well,
I
just
want
to
speak
to
council
member
Watson
to
your
point
on
process.
It's
been
my
experience
and
long
before
I
was
mayor.
Is
that
you
know
staff
is
in
the
transitions
day
to
day.
So
a
lot
of
ideas
that
are
brought
up
for
us
to
consider
are
generated
by
them.
The
ideas
that
come
forth
aren't
a
hundred
percent
council
ideas,
and
so
this
you
know,
looks
like
that
was
another
one.
It's
brought
before
us
and
it's
certainly
our
prerogative
to
vote
it
down
and
say
no.
We
don't
want
to
do
that.
A
So
I
think
that
you
know
I've
seen
since
I've
been
here
for
two
years.
A
combination
of
the
way
that
things
make
it
forward
to
the
council
is
a
combination
of
Staff,
seeing
a
need
for
something
and
bringing
it
to
our
attention,
as
well
as
us,
seeing
a
need
from
our
constituents
and
bringing
it
to
their
attention.
M
No
I
definitely
agree
with
you
and
I
to
me.
It's
the
difference
of
bringing
an
idea
to
the
council
for
us
to
decide
if
that's
how
we
want
to
spend
taxpayer
resources
versus
the
staff,
you
know
independently
using
resources
to
create
a
resolution
that
may
or
may
not
get
passed,
and
you
know
the
much
more
efficient
way.
M
The
less
risky
way
is
just
to
bring
the
idea
to
the
council
and
say:
is
this
something
you
want
to
suspend
I
you
know,
I
can
see
all
your
faces
by
the
way
so
I
can
you
know
to
see
if
that's
something
that
we
actually
want
to
proceed
with,
and
you
know
this
kind
of
goes
back
to
this
long.
M
You
know
establish
criticism
amongst
the
community
that
they
feel.
Like
you
know,
the
staff
is
in
charge
and
running
things
and
bringing
things
to
the
council,
the
rubber
stand,
and
you
know
that's
where
my
concern
is.
You
know,
I
I,
just
believe
that
you
know
the
the
power
lies
with
the
council
for
the
decision
making.
M
P
K
I
said,
I
was
going
to
be
expressing
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
introduce
this
resolution
223-19
a
resolution
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
Arcata,
salvation
regulations
governing
sidewalk,
vending
on
city
property
and
rights
away;
I'm,
not
going
to
read
all
the
warehouses.
Unless
you
want
me
to.
A
Okay,
well
I,
just
I
did
have
a
question:
do
we
know
how
much
the
the
the
permits
will
be
because
I
know
there's
supposed
to
be
a
reasonable
price?
I
was
just
curious
about
that.
Yeah.
R
We
proposed
having
that
be
a
nominal
fee.
It
is
not
in
the
resolution,
as
Our
intention
is
that
it
would
be
adopted
by
the
council
every
year
in
the
master
fee
schedule.
R
Our
you
know,
per
initial
proposal
right
now
is
at
ten
dollars
it's
a
nominal
fee,
but
that
you
know
the
requirements
are
a
lift
in
other
regards
of
getting
having
a
business
license
and
you
know
meeting
insurance
requirements.
So
that
is
where
our
staff
are
are
considering
right
now
and
that
will
come
to
you
in
the
next
Master
Fee
schedule
update.
K
And
that
that
is
something
if
you're
at
the
community
center
and
you
have
an
event
there
and
you're
selling,
then
everybody
has
to
have
a
business
license,
and
that
happens
with
god
with
days
and
it
happens
downtown
with
the
Art
Market.
The
main
Street's
been
putting
on
so
it'll
it'll
be
interesting
to
see
how
this
works
and
how
people
who
are
on
the
corners
and
they
just
show
up
and
what
I
noticed
that
one
business
person
has
closed
this
business.
K
But
he
was
in
between
cars
selling
this
weekend,
his
Goods
and
it
does
affect
brick
and
mortar.
We
have
a
lot
of
brick
and
mortar
businesses
and
they
feel
like
they're,
paying
their
fair
share
they're,
paying
their
interests
they're,
paying
their
taxes
they're
paying
for
their
rent
Etc,
and
then
they
have
somebody
show
up
on
their
corner
or
in
their
next
to
their
doorway
selling.
Pants
I
mean
one
of
the
businesses.
A
F
Hello
again,
I
was
just
walking
around
town
earlier
today
before
I
bicycled
over
for
this
meeting
and
I
do
notice,
especially
at
farmers,
markets
and
other
special
events,
potentially
that
there
are
outside
people
selling
things
on
sidewalks.
F
And
it's
to
me
a
concern
about
you
know:
Ada
access
we've
talked
about
earlier
in
the
meetings
sidewalk
improvements,
some
it's
I
think
it's
really
important
for
people
to
get
their
start
in
that
new
state
law
seems
to
want
to
promote
not
hampering
you
know,
startup
businesses
or
sidewalk
businesses,
but
doing
it
in
a
way
that
is
that
blends
in
better
in
a
community
or
whatever
and
I.
Just
really
think
a
lot
of
the
vending
that's
happening
currently
is
kind
of
hodgepodge
and
dangerous
in
terms
of
safety.
F
There's
also,
you
know,
issues
about
like
bicycle
parking
is
inadequate
and
a
lot
of
people
have
the
bike
racks
actually
on
the
sidewalk
right
next
to
where
the
vendors
are,
and
then
everything
gets
really
really
crowded,
and
you
know
if
we
ever
move
to
a
really
wonderful
opportunity
for
a
downtown.
That's
car,
free
or
car
free
a
lot
of
the
times,
especially
during
events.
F
Then
that
really
would
open
up
some
space
on
the
street
for
those
people
to
practice
their
business
and
so
I
I
think
it's
important
that
you
do
this
and
I
think
keeping
up
with
what
state
law
is
promoting
is
good
and
I
do
agree
that
there's
a
lot
of
issues
with
what's
currently
going
on
and
around
the
plaza
from
vendors
to
dogs,
to
what
people
were
talking
about
earlier
tonight
in
their
concerns
so
yeah,
let's
try
and
put
it
all
together
in
a
in
a
way
so
that
it
works
for
all
of
us
and
and
doesn't
ostracized
people
who
are
really
trying
to
do
something
for
themselves,
but
keep
the
sidewalks
clear.
F
C
AC
Hi
so
I
had
the
privilege
this
year
of
being
the
coordinator
for
the
Friday
night
markets
in
Eureka
and
having
that
many
vendors
as
an
event,
you
know
it
was
organized.
We
did
have
permits
and
things
like
that.
However,
it
was
you
know
we
weren't
too
stringent
about
who
had
business
licenses
and
things
like
that.
AC
That's
up
to
the
individual
businesses,
however,
considering
Eureka's
past
reputation
of
you
know
being
scary
and
unwalkable,
and
you
know
I'll
kind
of
reference
back
to
some
of
the
comments
from
earlier
in
the
evening
in
regards
to
safety
on
the
Plaza
having
events
and
having
vendors
and
people
around
does
a
lot
to
attract
new
life
and
new.
You
know
culture
into
an
area.
You
know
you
think
about
the
Stark
difference
between
the
plaza
during
the
farmer's
market
versus
the
plaza
really
any
other
time.
AC
So
you
know,
maybe
one
consideration
would
be
for
these
permits,
not
necessarily
to
give
them
some
teeth,
but
to
give
them
an
incentive
could
be.
You
know
any
permit
fees
for
this
kind
of
automatically
grants
you
access
into
some
sort
of
event
that
maybe
Arcata
Main
Street
could
partner
with
the
city
in
doing
in
order
to
kind
of
generate
more
activity
on
the
Plaza
that
promotes
businesses
and
also
just
more
neighborhood
connection.
Thank
you.
B
A
A
A
And
we
have
our
last
opportunity
for
our
public
comment
and
this
time
is
provided
for
people
to
address
the
Council
on
matters
that
are
not
on
the
agenda.
So
this
is
nothing
that
we
covered
on
the
agenda
today
and
please
know
that,
pursuant
to
the
brown
act,
the
council
cannot
discuss
or
take
action
on
items
that
are
not
listed
on
the
posted
agenda.
A
At
the
end
of
all
oral
and
written
Communications,
the
council
May
respond
to
statements
supported
requests
that
require
require
Council
action
will
be
set
by
the
council
for
a
future
agenda
or
referred
to
staff
speakers
addressing
the
council
may
be
limited
to
three
minutes
with
them.
Yeah
they're
limited
to
three
minutes,
and
if
you
are
in
person
and
wanting
to
give
public
comment,
please
line
up
at
the
podium.
If
you
are
online,
please
raise
your
hand
on
the
zoom,
webinar
or
press
star
nine.
Now,
if
you
are
on
the
phone.
F
So
to
close,
my
talk
here
tonight,
I
just
appreciate
all
the
decisions
and
issues
that
come
before
you
on
a
bi-weekly
basis
at
these
meetings
and
they're
all
really
important
issues.
F
But
the
overall
issue
is,
you
know,
we
won't
have
airbnbs
and
we
won't
have
sidewalks
and
and
all
if
we
don't
really
seriously
start
looking
at
the
big
picture,
the
overview
of
what's
happening
in
our
world
and
and
bringing
it
down
narrowing
it
down
to
the
city
of
Arcata
and
the
streets
and
the
parks
and
the
the
bay
and
the
the
houses
and
the
sewage
system,
and
all
that
kind
of
thing.
So,
with
climate
change
and
the
climate
crisis,
I
was
on
recent
tours
on
the
Mata
kit.
F
And
let
me
know
what's
going
on
with
the
regional
climate
action
plan
and
we
really
need
to
change
our
ways
we're
going
to
have
to,
and
you
know
we
got
to
start
now,
because
we
didn't
start
yesterday
and
we
can't
postpone
that's
the
big
p,
postponing
a
lot
of
these
things
that
can
no
longer
be
postponed.
So
please,
please,
please
make
climate
something
that
is
on
the
agenda,
all
the
time
and
you're
talking
about
it
and
letting
us
know
what
we
need
to
do
to
help
make
things
livable
for
us
in
the
future.
L
Good
evening
Arcata
City
Council
Members
earlier
in
my
previous
public
comment,
I
mentioned
about
Unity.
We
treat
more
generalized
communities.
I
want
to
go,
extend
that
topic
on
particularly
on
the
LGBT
community
as
a
career,
individual
myself
I
think
it's
very
important
from
some
type
of
educational
LGBT
workshops
for
the
city
of
Arcata,
so
that
way
residents
can
know
more
on
the
history
and
also
just
gain
more
knowledge
of
like
representation
and
inclusivity
was
in
the
community.
L
As
I
mentioned
before
last
year,
there
was
anti-lgbt
attacks
and
rhetoric
and
I
think
that
you
know
there
can
be
more
progress
within
the
city
that
we
can
try
to
do
so.
Members
can
be
more
open-minded
and
try
to
have
more
value
towards
members
within
that
Community.
L
I
also
think
that
I
don't
know
specifically
if
the
city
honors
the
Day
of
Silence
or
Pride
months,
or
you
know,
does
any
educational
Awareness
on
that
to
the
community
members,
but
I
also
think
that
if
it,
if
that's
not
the
case,
I
think
that
the
down
the
line
I
would
hope.
The
Arcata
city
council
can
consider
honoring
the
Day
of
Silence
and
also
awareness
for
Pride
months.
L
You
know:
I
only
mention
this,
because
I
feel
like
members
within
the
lgbtq
community,
whether
their
use
or
elderly,
should
feel
comfortable
enough
to
express
their
identity
and
express
who
they
are.
They
shouldn't
feel
uncomfortable
to
do
so.
So
I
would
just
strongly
encourage
you
all
to
find
ways
to
be
inclusive
and
honor
that
community,
in
whatever
way
possible.
Thank
you.
A
C
All
right,
our
first
online
public
comment
is
call
in
user
four
go
ahead,
call
in
user.
S
Okay,
hi
I'm,
calling
in
regards
to
council
member
Watson's
conduct
online,
which
I
view
is
a
wholly
bizarre
and
worth
scrutiny.
I
wanted
to
draw
the
council
and
community's
attention
to
the
website
arcadatruth.com.
This
is
a
purported
News
website
that
is
run
by
a
person
claiming
to
be
going
by
the
name
of
Delilah.
Goldstein
I
wholeheartedly
believe
that
this
person
is
a
council
member
Brett
Watson
affecting
a
fake
identity
to
push
forward
his
agenda
outside
of
the
purview
of
the
Arcata
city
council.
S
It
is
a
sham
website
that
has
no
journalistic
value
whatsoever
and
is
a
literal
mouthpiece
for
councilmember,
Watson's
gripes
in
particular.
The
article
titles
quote,
some
Arcata
city
council
candidates
did
not
submit
fundraising
forms
contained
contains
such
specific
information.
Then
only
someone
who
ran
for
the
council
would
have
those
details
again.
Delilah
Goldstein
does
not
exist.
Her
Facebook
profile
page
has
one
picture
and
few
friends
council,
member
Watson
being
one
of
them.
When
you
reverse
image
search
the
picture
again,
the
only
picture.
S
The
only
thing
that
comes
up
is
USA
girl,
four
and
indeed
no
single
person
that
works
in
news
in
Humboldt
County
has
heard
of
her
from
what
I
gather
from
local
community
members.
This
is
not
the
only
Hollow
account
that
councilmember
Watson
operates
on
social
media
sites
like
Facebook,
it's
just
a
great
microcosm
of
council
member
Watson's
Behavior
over
the
years,
and
it's
just
so
bizarre
and
embarrassing
Brett.
You
need
to
resign
like
yesterday.
This
is
really
really
sad
now.
Thank
you.
AC
Hi
I
wanted
to
just
make
a
comment
to
the
council
in
regards
to
the
upcoming
Gateway
plan
and
updates
to
the
general
plan
in
regards
to
you
know
this
being
so
soon
to
be
passed.
You
know
it's
just
there.
It's
almost
there
I
would
ask
the
council
to
consider
passing
a
temporary
moratorium
on
new
construction.
AC
You
know
it
seems
like
it
would
be
prudent
to
consider
the
new
regulations
that
we
will
be
passing
for
our
city
in
regards
to
construction
that
is
being
proposed
to
ensure
that
it's
going
to
benefit
and
serve
our
community
in
well
into
the
future
and
not
just
temporarily
five
to
three
years
from
now.
AC
A
Sorry
I'm
lots
of
things
to
follow
up
on.
So
that's
making
notes
on
which
is
now
cause
me
to
here.
It
is
lose
the
agenda,
but
I
know
we're
at
the
end.
So
now
it
is
time
for
I.
Don't
think
we
have
any
other
staff
updates.
So
we
will
do
council,
member
updates
so
Vice,
mayor
Schaefer.
Do
you
have
any
updates.
N
Sure
a
couple
things
I
I
know:
I
said
before
that
the
iblock
party
was
a
great
success,
but
they
did
get
their
financials
back
and
it
was
actually
I
I.
N
Think
from
what
the
I
read
in
the
email,
it
was
what
the
most
successful
one
ever,
which
is
super
awesome,
also
I'll,
add
just
a
general
energy
update,
but
rcea
is
very
involved
with
the
offshore
wind
energy
and
all
that,
but
that
the
lease
sale
announcements
have
kind
of
gone
out,
and
so
now
that
will
kind
of
open
it
up
for
to
see
who
actually
is
going
to
get
involved
and
and
build
these
things
December
6.,
but
they
set
it
went
out.
N
Oh
December
6.,
it's
coming
very
soon,
Nancy
correct
me,
I
know:
I
was
like
reading
the
email
here,
but
again
it's
just
exciting
movement
forward
on
the
wind
energy
front,
so
we're
ahead
of
the
pack.
A
I'm
gonna
go
next,
just
because
I
want
to
just
add
to
the
offshore
wind
and
our
community
is
working
together
from
all
aspects,
from
tribal
folks
to
elected
leaders,
to
executive
directors,
all
kinds
of
folks
working
together
as
a
team
to
try
to
really
push
for
the
best
community
benefits
package
possible
that
we
can
get
as
a
community.
So
that's
pretty
cool
to
see
everybody
coming
together
to
try
to
work
on
that
and
the
only
other
thing
I
had
was.
A
We
did
hire
an
executive
director
for
Arcata
Main
Street,
which
is
a
big
win
and
success.
So
her
name
is
Brandi
wheeler
and
we're
very
excited
to
have
her
on
board,
and
that
should
make
a
real
difference
for
the
organization.
I
just
want
to
commend
the
since
I
came
on
to
council,
it's
been
about
two
years
and
I
think
that
we've
Main
Street
has
been
without
a
director
from
that
whole
time.
So
it's
been
held
together
by
a
small
Board
of
volunteers,
so
it
should.
P
Yeah
shout
out
to
the
main
street
board
and
a
shout
out
to
shoshana,
because
she's
done
amazing
things
too.
As
long
as
we're
talking
about
energy,
we
might
as
well
talk
about
garbage
and
just
let
you
know
that
SB
1383
will
be
before
the
council
soon
I
mean
as
we're
talking
about
impact
to
The
Climate
I
think
that
it
is
a
hugely
important
thing:
the
food
waste
that
goes
into
our
landfills,
the
methane
that
that
emits
is
on
par
with
all
the
greenhouse
gases.
So
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
bringing
that
to
Arcata.
K
Well,
I
have
red
deck
coming
up
on
Monday
and
I've
already
and
HTA
we're
just
moving
ahead
with
HTA.
It's
amazing
when
I
think
back
and
I
are
serving
on
there
in
2000
I,
don't
know
six
in
that
era
of
time
and
how
they
have
really
transformed
themselves
and
done
so
many
amazing
things
and
how
they're
looking
at
how
to
connect
our
County
out
of
the
county
and
I
think
that's
going
to
happen.
We're
going
to
be
able
to
see
our
buses
connecting
up
to
Mendocino
and
they're
already
they're
going
up.
P
You
know
I
was
just
thinking
of
one
more
thing
and
I'm.
Sorry,
because
I
know
it's
super
late,
but
I
know
that
I've
been
reading
a
lot
about
this
single
use.
Takeaway
ordinance,
that's
coming
up
in
January,
2023
I
know
people
have
a
lot
of
questions.
P
I'm
gonna
have
to
speak
to
it
now,
but
maybe
an
update
at
the
next
council
meeting
about
what
that
looks.
Like
I
know,
people
concerned
about
food
safety
and
what
it
looks
like
bringing
your
own
container
into
a
restaurant
and
what
that
whole
process
looks
like
so
it'd
be
great
to
get
some
clarification.
It.
C
Sure
be
happy
to
update
you
at
the
next
council
meeting.
Letters
have
gone
out
to
all
the
potential
businesses
that
would
be
affected.
That
is
an
ordinance
that
had
been
suspended
during
the
pandemic,
and
that
is
now
coming
back
online,
even
a
couple
years
later
than
we
had
hoped,
but
but
yeah
we'd
be
happy
to
do
an
update.
Thank.
A
You
and
but
before
we
get
well
go
ahead.
Council
member
Watson.
M
Yeah
just
to
respond
to
the
caller,
you
know
it's.
It's
interesting
that
a
a
person
accusing
me
of
you
know
having
some
kind
of
anonymous
identity
doesn't
choose
to
identify
themselves.
You
know
in
their
comment:
they
choose
to
remain
anonymous,
I,
don't
think
I've
ever
created
a
fake
profile
ever
I.
Definitely
don't
have
time
for
that.
I
don't
even
run
my
own
social
media
I
have
a
volunteer
that
does
it.
I
did
talk
to
a
young
woman
named
Delilah
several
weeks
ago.
M
That
said
she
did
a
public
records
request
to
the
city
and
got
campaign
filing
information
from
the
candidates.
I
did
answer
her
questions.
I,
didn't
you
know
she
sent
me
a
copy
of
the
article.
I
did
not
know
she
had
a
website
and
yeah.
So
you
know
I
mean
unless
somebody
has
some
actual
evidence.
M
I
mean
this
is
like
my
story
for
this
last
year,
right
or
like
baseless
accusations
of
things
with
no
evidence
supporting
them,
so
I'm
just
kind
of
used
to
it
at
this
point
but
yeah,
you
know
if
you
got
some
evidence,
if
you
think
there's
something
illegal
reporting
to
the
police.
M
You
know,
and
but
yeah
you
know,
if
you're
just
trying
to
tear
me
down
I
mean
nothing
really
faces
me
anymore,
so
yeah,
that's
what
I
have
to
say
about
that
and
then
my
question
is
because
the
question
and
statement
so
you
know
we
recognized
that
we
did
not
receive
any
reports
from
HDL
who
analyzes
our
tax
revenues
for
over
a
year,
and
it
took
several
weeks
and
I
actually
had
to
do
a
public
records
request
to
my
own
City
to
get
the
reports
which
is
really
unusual
because
it's
public
information,
and
so
when
I
did
get
the
reports.
M
M
That's
huge
30
of
our
tax
revenues,
which
is
like
our
biggest
input
into
our
general
fund.
So,
and
also
this
information
was
not
provided
to
the
council
when
we
were
considering
our
budget.
It
wasn't
mentioned
in
the
budget
report,
so
you
know
I
know
the
staff,
you
know
it's
usually
the
city
manager
that
gets
that
information
and
provides
it
to
the
council.
M
So
you
know
I,
just
I'm
just
wondering
you
know
how.
How
did
this
happen?
How
can
we
prevent
it
in
the
future?
M
You
know
why
didn't
we
get
this
information
when
we
were
making
our
budget
and
other
than
that?
That's
all
I
got
thanks
a
lot.
M
C
Well,
yeah
I'm,
happy
to
add
I.
We
are
not
seeing
if
there
is
a
decline
in
our
sales
tax.
So
if
you
want
to
I
think
the
the
delay
in
getting
those
reports
to
you
was
based
on
communication
protocols
that
are
in
place
right
now
and
needing
to
go
through
attorneys
to
get
information
transmitted
and
that
during
the
pandemic,
HDL
no
longer
was
coming
up
and
making
visits
and
bringing
hard
copies.
C
H
C
M
Okay,
so
yeah
just
to
clarify
the
rest
of
the
council,
did
get
the
reports
and
I
didn't,
and
you
know
the
council.
M
K
Because
we
we
all
they
all
said
they
didn't
get
it.
You
know,
I
haven't
been
here
that
long
I've
only
been
here
since
July
and
I
didn't
do
your
goal.
Settings
Etc,
so
I'm,
not
part
of
that.
But
I
do
I
am
curious
about
a
couple
of
things,
but
I
can
just
sit
here
and
wait
till
you've
finished
dealing
whatever
you
have
to
deal
with.
No.
M
I
mean
I,
you
know
I
feel,
like
you
guys
have
answered
the
question.
You
know
I'm,
just
it's.
Okay,
like
I'm
the
only
one,
that's
concerned
with
our
tax
generation,
our
tax
revenues.
E
O
N
K
So
I
have
a
question
I'd
still
like
to
ask
and
I
was
thinking
about.
We
were
going
to
have
we
Alder
Grove
industrial
park,
and
we
have
some
lots
that
we've
had
since
the
early
1970s
and
I'm
wondering
how
we're
proceeding
with
those
we
were
going
to
get
some
appraisals
Etc.
How
is
that
happening
how's
that
when
do,
we
think
we'll
hear
back.
K
I
appreciate
that
definitely-
and
one
other
thing
I
wanted
to
mention-
is
that
maybe
somebody
out
there
actually
has
an
office
is
that
our
police
Chiefs
would
like
to
be
have
an
auxiliary
office
downtown
somewhere.
So
you
know,
I
was
actually
thinking
about
the
hotel
Arcata
and
they
came,
and
they
spoke
about
their
broken
window
and
being
harassed
and
years
ago.
K
That
used
to
be
a
real
estate
office
and
the
owner
of
that
real
estate
office
and
the
stairs
are
still
they
would
go
up
to
this
little
balcony
and
then
he
could
see
everything
that
was
going
on
downstairs
with
all
his
Realtors
Etc
and
I'm
one
underneath
that
that
could
be
an
office
that
could
be
available
for
the
chief
on
a
temporary
basis.
So
I'm
going
to
reach
out
to
that,
because
I
started
looking
around
I'm
just
putting
this
out
in
case.
K
Someone
in
the
downtown
has
a
office
space
that
they
can
make
available
to
him
and
then
he'd
have
his
police
car
downtown
also,
and
that
was
a
request
somewhere
along
the
line.
I
saw
or
heard
that
it
would
be
nice
that
we
could
have
a
police
car.
Occasionally
downtown,
but
they
don't
like
to
leave
their
cars.
Maybe
this
is
Julie
Fulkerson.
They
don't
like
to
leave
their
cars.
K
Maybe
somebody
has
an
office
and
they're
willing
to
make
that
work
and
I've
been
looking
around
so
far,
I
haven't
found
one
okay,
a
lot
of
other
things
on
my
list,
but
and
I'm
wondering
if
we're
going
to
have
an
opportunity
to
talk
about
the
trail
trail
systems
that
are
of
significance
and
issues
in
Arcata
like
the
one
in
Westwood
somewhere
that
maybe
that
would
be
an
interesting
topic
to
have
because
they're
obvious
there
are
others,
and
then
I
was
at
the
phone
meeting
this
week
and
they
were
talking
about
the
gate
closing
out
at
the
marsh
and
it
is
it
closing.
K
Is
it
not
closing
they
were
interested
in
that
and
when
that
was
going
to
start
now
that
I'm
a
liaison
out
there
and
also
for
this
year?
This
is
just
an
aside
here.
You
got
me
talking.
Goblet
days
has
been
thinking
about
how
we
could
work
with
Audubon
and
also
with
foam,
and
this
year,
foam
in
covered
days
are
going
to
work
in
Tandem
and
also
Autobahn.
K
A
We
close
I
heard
two
possible
future
like
agenda
items
come
up,
so
one
was
the.
You
know
like
a
trail
update
on
maintenance
and
how
how
you
know
how
that
works.
What
gets
chosen
for
that
do?
Do
we
have
consensus
on
that
opinions
on
if
that
should
go
on
the
agenda
or
not
I'm,
fine.
With
that
sure.
M
K
I
don't
know
about
that,
but
one
other,
and
we
had
it
addressed
today
and
it's
been
addressed
constantly
and
that
is
homelessness
and
we've
been
getting
a
lot
of
I'm
sure
you
too
have
Brett,
but
we've
been
getting
a
lot
of
letters
and
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
deal
with
it
and
I
in
some
ways.
I
don't
know
if
we'll
ever
be
able
to
deal
with
it,
because
it's
such
a
serious
issue
that
I
don't
know.
K
If
we
want
to
have
anything
to
talk
about
on
that
issue
or
not
because
you
know
we
can
only
provide
housing
through
one
means
or
another,
and
maybe
the
the
Fortuna
money
that
came
in
that
would
be
one
of
the
pre-development
costs
that
we
could
help
with
for
homelessness.
But
I
just
don't
know
what
we're
going
to
do
and
Eureka
I
know
is
having
the
same
issue.
A
We're
definitely
going
to
need
we're.
Gonna
we're
gonna
need
specifics.
This
is
a
huge
topic,
so
let
maybe
providers
too
yeah
I
I
personally,
would
just
really
rather
address
this
at
an
earlier
time,
because
I'm
I
think
it's
a
big
issue
and
we
do
have.
We
do
need
to
get
things
on
the
agenda
and
discussions
going,
but
I
think
we
need
to
be
pretty
strategic
about
it.
A
So
it's
and
then
there
was
one
other
Meredith
asked
for
a
suggestion
of.
A
Use
and
right,
no,
that
seems
like
a
timely
recap
because
that's
scheduled
to
happen
in
January.
How
do
we
feel
about
that.
N
Yeah-
and
it's
been
all
over-
you
know
City
social
media
and
everything
like
that.
So
it
would
be
good
just
to
get
the
update
because
I
know
many
of
us
have
not.
You
know,
didn't
hear
about
it,
pre-coveted
so.
A
A
Okay
with
that
we're
adjourned.
Thank
you.
