From YouTube: Arcata City Council Meeting - 3/15/2023
Description
City of Arcata Live Stream
A
A
Good
evening
and
thank
you
for
joining
us
for
committee
interviews
that
are
being
held
just
before
our
regular
council
meeting
this
evening,
we
will
be
interviewing
two
candidates
for
two
vacancies
on
the
wetlands
and
Creeks
committee,
and
we
will
be
interviewing
our
applicants
via
Zoom
this
evening.
Do
we
have
any
public
comment
for
the
special
meeting
before
we
hold?
These
interviews
come
on
down.
B
My
name
is
Joanne
McGarry
and
I
appreciate
being
able
to
be
present
at
these
special
meetings
and
making
comment,
as
I
commented
at
previous
special
meetings
for
the
Planning
Commission
members
that
were
interviewed
and
subsequently
chosen,
Visionary,
we
are
moving
into
a
very,
very
uncertain
future
in
terms
of
our
natural
environment
and
weather,
and
climate
and
I
would
hope
that
people
who
are
interested
in
serving
on
the
wetlands
and
Creeks
committee
have
a
Grand
Vision
for
the
future
and
will
not
just
be
staring
down
at
existing
systems
and
projects
and
ways
of
operating.
B
A
Right
well,
then,
we
will
be
beginning
our
interviews
and
so
welcome
to
our
two
applicants:
Emma
held
and
Stephen
rails
back,
and
so
we
will
be
doing
this
kind
of
candidate
Forum
style.
So
we
will
start
and
ask
the
question
first
to
Emma
and
then
alternate
order
of
who
goes
first
answering
each
question
after
that,
and
so
we're
just
going
to
kind
of
go
down
the
line
here
with
the
council
and
each
ask
a
question.
E
Okay,
welcome
Emma.
So
first
question
is:
why
are
you
interested
in
serving
on
the
committee
and
what
special
skill
set?
Can
you
provide
to
this
advisory
committee.
F
I
have
lived
in
Arcata
for
about
10
years
now,
and
I
I
feel
very
strongly
about
giving
back
to
my
community
and
I'm
as
a
Fisheries
biologist.
I
work
down
in
the
Metro,
mainly
but
I
think
that
that
is
a
very
special
skill
set.
That
I
would
like
to
bring
to
the
wetlands
and
Creeks
committee.
E
G
G
Yeah
I
I
want
to
start
by
apologizing.
We
were
on
vacation.
G
H
E
G
E
G
G
So
you
can
hear
me
okay.
Now
we
can
all
right
so
I
have
had
a
long
career
in
river
and
stream,
and
Wetland
management
I
have
done
everything
working
on
National
Lab
on
the
writing.
Environmental
impact
statements
for
a
hydroelectric
projects
to
helping
run
a
Environmental
Research
program
for
PG
e,
and
since
we
moved
to
Arcata
about
30
years
ago,
I've
been
working
with
people
at
the
University
and
forest
service.
Research
lab
and
consulting
firms
in
town
on
a
variety
of
research
and
applications
of
River
Management.
G
In
particular,
I've
specialized
in
flow
and
habitat
restoration
and
management
for
cell
monitors,
but
lately
I've
also
been
working
on
frogs
and
even
riparian
vegetation
and
like
Emma
I'm,
a
frequent
user
of
the
city's
natural
resources
and
as
my
career,
winds
down
and
I
have
a
little
more
time
for
extra
things.
G
I
would
like
to
give
something
back
also
when
we
first
came
here,
I
served
on
the
original
Arcata
energy
commission
that
preceded
the
energy
committee,
and
that
was
a
very
worthwhile
experience
for
me,
so
that
that
the
positive
experience
I
had
on
that
a
long
time
ago
was
another
reason.
I'm
looking
forward
to
maybe
serving
on
this
committee.
I
G
Let
me
start
pricing
that
I
have
not
been
especially
involved
in
any
particular
projects.
I,
don't
have
a
particular
agenda
or
project
in
mind.
I.
G
Think,
of
course,
that
we
all
have
to
be
looking
at
climate
change
and
sea
level
rise,
and
what
kind
of
issues
that
we
related
to
that
that
we
need
to
be
prepared
for
I
and
and
how,
for
example,
how
changes
in
sea
level
and
Etc
affect
how
the
city
goes
about
its
business
and
doing
things
like
developing
property
and
and
managing
the
the
marsh
and
the
treatment
system.
G
I
think
there's
probably
also
some
things
we
could
do
with
just
the
habitat
and
some
of
those
dreams
that
they
at
least
used
to
have
fish
populations.
I,
don't
know
very
much
about
exactly
the
status
of
the
populations
and
some
of
the
streams
that
go
through
town,
but
that
would
certainly
be
an
interest
of
something
that
perhaps
we
could
do
better
on.
F
I
read
an
article
recently
that
the
commercial
salmon
fishery
in
California
will
be
closed
this
year
and
so
I
think
that
focusing
on
focusing
on
these
important
habitats
for
for
cell
monits,
but
then
also
for
birds
and
invertebrates
and
and
the
people,
the
people
that
live
nearby
as
well
is
going
to
be
increasingly
important
in
order
to
continue
using
resources
such
as
fisheries
and
things
like
that
and
I
agree
with
Stephen
as
well.
F
I
think
that
wetlands
and
riparian
areas
provide
such
an
important
buffer
against
flooding,
which
I
know
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
that
in
in
town
right
now,
and
against
flooding
against
sea
level
rise,
just
sort
of
buffering
against
these
climatic
changes
that
are
happening.
Thank.
A
You
so
much
okay.
The
next
question
will
go
to
you
first
Emma,
so
describe
your
knowledge,
experience
and
or
connections
to
arcata's,
Wetlands,
Creeks
or
sensitive
habitat
areas.
F
Sure,
okay,
so,
as
I
mentioned
before,
I
moved
to
Arcata
about
10
years
ago
to
attend
Humboldt,
State
and
I.
Think
one
of
my
very
first
classes
was
an
environmental
science
class
and
we
took
a
field
trip
to
the
arcade
of
March.
F
So
my
relationship
with
that
particular
Wetland
habitat
has
been
about
a
decade-long
relationship,
I've
really
enjoyed
that
Recreation,
Area
and
and
seeing
how
that
is
a
benefit
for
for
the
inhabitants
of
Arcata,
as
well
as
the
wildlife
and
since
then,
I
have
held
several
positions,
working
in
River,
restoration
and
stream,
ecology
and,
as
I
mentioned
also
I'm.
F
Currently,
a
Fisheries
biologist
and
I
have
experience
with
habitat
restoration
projects,
all
of
the
necessary
permitting
and
report
writing
and
implementation
parts
of
that,
as
well
as
monitoring,
which
I
think
is
really
important
and
sort
of
an
under
utilized
method.
Just
to
see
how
to
understand
how
these
these
habitats
change
over
time
and
sort
of
see
what
kind
of
impacts
we're
making
as
as
a
community.
A
G
Okay,
actually
I'm
going
to.
G
My
wife
is
Margaret
Lang
she's,
a
environmental
engineering
for
real
estate
agent
over
the
years,
she's
done
a
number
of
projects
for
the
city
and
for
Caltrans,
and
many
of
them
I
certainly
use
the
opportunity
to
get
familiar
with
issues.
So
these
range
from
working
at
the
Mars
with
Bob
Gerhard
and
the
other
people
doing
research
there
on
some
of
the
long-term
management
issues
at
the
marsh.
With
the
treatment
system,
I
helped
her
with.
G
She
did
some
studies
for
the
city
many
years
ago
on
travel
times
in
the
local
streams,
so
doing
diet.
Tracer
studies
were,
let's
see
how
long
it
takes
water
to
flow
from
different
places
in
town
until
it
hits
the
marsh
and
critical
habitat
I
had
a
lot
of
my
own
background
in
helping
design
stream
restoration
projects,
I
worked
with
Northern
hydrology
as
a
subcontractor
on
the
restoration
project
on
Prairie
Creek
at
its
mouth.
G
That
saved
the
Redwoods
league
is,
is
funding
and
organizing,
let's
see,
and
then
I
just
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
the
March,
and
especially
in
the
Town
Forest,
along
the
streams
and
so
I'm
I'm
fairly
familiar
with
the
different
water
resources.
In
in
town
and
the
main
issues
that
that
people
are
concerned
about.
A
Great,
thank
you.
Councilmember
white
will
ask
our
next
question.
J
And
it
sounds
like
you
may
have
already
addressed
some
of
this,
but
Steve
restoration
and
monitoring
are
important
to
inform
our
science-based
decision
making
and
future
management.
Please
describe
your
experience
or
expertise
with
natural
resource,
restoration
or
monitoring
that
could
be
an
asset
to
the
city.
G
G
Biologists
also
is
developing
computer
models
that,
where
we
actually
build
an
artificial
stream
in
the
computer
and
and
simulate
the
habitat
characteristics
and
and
then
stimulate
fish,
especially
cell
monitors,
including
salmon
spawning
and
juvenile
rearing,
and
those
models
have
been
used
as
a
supreme
restoration
project
design
tools.
So
I've
worked
with
several
different
consulting
firms
in
a
number
of
different
projects,
using
our
models
to
design
restoration
projects.
K
G
The
key
point
is
that,
even
though
my
part
is
in
the
computer
to
make
that
work,
you
really
have
to
have
a
good
understanding
of
the
actual
biology.
Our
models
are
quite
complex
and
try
to
include
a
lot
of
the
actual
mechanisms
through
which
screen
habitat
effects
of
the
fish
and
so
I
feel
like
I,
have
a
pretty
deep
understanding
by
working
with
people
in
the
local
Fisheries
community
of
how
habitat
restoration
projects
affect
the
fish
population.
G
I
won't
claim
to
be
an
expert
on
monitoring,
because
I
work
very
closely
with
people,
especially
Brett
Harvey,
up
at
the
Redwood
Sciences
lab
who's.
Really,
an
expert
in
study,
design
and
monitoring,
program,
design
and
I
know
people.
G
J
Thank
you
Emma
same
question.
Would
you
like
me
to
repeat
it.
F
I
think
I
got
it.
Okay,
thank
you.
So
I
began
my
work
in
in
river
and
stream.
Monitoring
in
20,
17
and
I
was
assisting
the
university
constructing
longitudinal
profiles
in
the
South
Fork
Eel
River
Basin,
which
required
a
total
station
in
the
state
of
Rod
just
sort
of
looking
at
the
geomorphologic
stream
profile.
F
Excuse
me
and
since
then,
I've
sort
of
Switched
gears
to
a
more
biological
aspect,
I've
done
lots
of
macroinvertebrate
studies,
primarily
my
position
with
the
matole
salmon
group
is
is
who
I
work
for,
and
we
conduct
annual
spawning
ground
surveys
each
winter
in
in
the
metal,
River
Basin.
F
We
also
do
pre
and
post
project
monitoring
with
photo
documentation
and
again
longitudinal
profiles,
habitat
typing
those
kinds
of
things
and
so
I
am
very
well
versed
in
designing
a
monitoring
study
or
adding
to
an
existing
monitoring
study
with
high
quality
data
and
and
very
thorough,
very
thorough
practices.
M
Well,
thank
you
very
much.
So
the
next
question
is
and
we'll
start
with
you
Emma
since
you're
right
there.
Please
share
an
example
of
successful
collaboration.
You
have
been
a
part
of
in
the
realm
of
restoration,
open
space
community
building
and
what
made
that
collaboration,
successful,
so
I
know
these
might
be
somewhat
repetitive,
but
thank
you.
F
Sure
so
the
Metro
salmon
group
is
a
non-profit
organization
down
in
Petrolia
and
we
have
several
restoration
projects
that
are
that
require
input
from
many
different
organization
from
agencies
from
organizations
and
from
community
members,
and
those
have
all
have
have
been
relatively
successful,
at
least
in
our
involvement.
We
also
have.
F
Every
year
we
have
interns,
we
have
a
group
of
interns
that
come
and
we
go
through
some
of
our
restoration
projects
and
monitoring
practices
with
them
as
well,
and
so
Community
involvement
and
Community
engagement
is
a
huge
part
of
my
job.
Currently.
F
Additionally,
we
also
have
an
annual
summer
steelhead
snorkel
survey,
that's
held
in
in
the
summer
time
and
that's
a
complete.
It
is
completely
citizen
science,
community-led
monitoring,
effort.
M
Thank
you
very
much
and
Stephen.
Did
you
catch
that
question
or
would
you
like
me?
Well,
actually,
you
covered
a
lot
of
it
in
the
previous
question,
but
please
share
an
example
of
successful
collaboration.
You
have
been
a
part
of
in
the
realm
of
restoration,
open
space
or
community
building,
and
what
made
that
collaboration
so
successful.
Thank
you.
G
Okay,
I'm
gonna,
assume
Alex.
You
were
talking
to
me.
I
only
got
heard
about
the
last
few
years.
I'll.
M
G
Okay,
I
will
use
the
example
of
the
perfect
restoration
project
where
save
the
Redwood
save
the
Redwoods.
League
was
the
lead.
They
came
up
with
the
idea
of.
G
Buying
the
Old
Mill
site
in
Oreck
and
tearing
out
the
Old
Mill
building
a
new
Park,
Visitor
Center
and
doing
a
major
restoration
week.
They
hired
a
local
company,
Northern
hydrology
that
designed
the
restoration
project
and.
L
N
G
With
them
to
develop
technical
information
for
the
restoration
design,
but
a
lot
of
that
whole
project
was
bringing
along
all
the
different
stakeholders
that
are
on
involved
in
that
area,
and
one
thing
that
was
interesting
about
that
project
was
that
the
key
stakeholder
bringing
along
with
the
agency
people
the
people
that
worked
with
the
Fisheries
agencies.
G
They
had
a
lot
of
legitimate
concerns
about
potential
side
effects
of
the
restoration
and
a
lot
of
our
ever
weren't
went
into
working
with
the
agencies
on
technical
issues.
So
my
involvement
included
developing
technical
information
and
working
with
those
agency,
people
that
to
get
them
to
buy
into
the
project
too.
G
A
Okay,
well,
thank
you
to
both
our
applicants.
We
are
pushing
right
up
against
our
regular
meeting
time
right
now,
so
we'll
hold
it
at
that
and
got
some
great
information
from
you
guys,
even
despite
some
bad
internets
and
connections.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
for
these
interviews
tonight
and
we
will
take
a
brief
two
minute
break
and
then
we
will
be
back
for
our
6
p.m,
regularly
scheduled
meeting.
A
A
A
Foreign
all
right
good
evening,
and
thank
you
for
viewing
the
March
15th
meeting
of
the
Arcata
city
council.
The
city
council
meeting
is
being
held
as
a
hybrid
meeting,
with
both
both
in-person
attendance
and
teleconference
access
via
Zoom.
Our
first
item
on
the
agenda
this
evening
is
a
land
acknowledgment.
The
city
of
Arcata
acknowledges
that
the
lands
we
are
located
on
are
the
unseated
ancestral
lands
of
the
Wyatt
tribe.
A
The
city
of
Arcata
acknowledges
the
weak
Community
their
Elders,
both
past
and
present,
as
well
as
future
Generations.
This
acknowledgment
seeks
to
Aid
in
dismantling
the
Legacy
narratives
of
subtler
colonialism.
Our
next
item
would
be
the
flag
salute.
So
if
you'd
like
to
join
us,
please
stand
I
pledge
allegiance
to
the
flag
of
the
United
States
of
America.
A
If
you
wish
to
make
a
comment
during
the
meeting,
either
at
the
two
open
public
comment
periods
or
for
an
individual
agenda
item,
there
are
three
ways
to
do.
So,
if
you
are
here
in
person,
please
line
up
behind
the
podium
when
the
item
that
you
would
like
to
speak
on
is
accepting
public
comment
and
if
you
are
here
to
comment
during
early
oral
Communications
that
15-minute
time
at
the
beginning
of
the
agenda,
we
do
do
our
little
card
system
here.
So
there
should
be
cards
numbered
one
through
four
for
the
first
four
people
here.
A
If
you
want
to
grab
those
and
then
if
you
are
logged
on
to
zoom
click,
raise
your
hand
when
it
is
time
for
the
public
comment
on
the
item.
You
wish
to
speak
on
or
if
you
are
on
the
phone
press,
star
9
on
your
phone
to
raise
your
hand
and
when
it
is
your
turn,
you
will
be
prompted
to
dial
Star
6
to
unmute
yourself
for
each
item.
We
will
take
in-person
public
comment
first
and
then
move
to
online
comments.
We
will
not
be
going
back
and
forth.
A
So
before
we
get
started
this
evening,
I
believe
that
there
has
been
a
request
for
agenda
modification
from
the
owners
of
Mad
River
Hospital
to
postpone
Slash
continue
their
new
business
item
e
to
our
April
5th
meeting.
So
is
there
anyone
on
the
council
that
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
move
the
discussion
on
Mad,
River,
Hospital
property
to
our
April
5th
meeting.
M
Yes,
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
move
Mad
River
hospitals
to
the
April
5th
agenda.
Okay,.
A
So
we
have
a
motion
by
council
member
Stillman.
I
was
sick,
okay
and
a
second
by
council,
member
white
and
so
again
for
those
in
attendance.
Perhaps
for
that
item
tonight,
no,
don't
wait
all
night
until
the
last
agenda
item
come
back
on
April
5th.
It
will
not
be
on
the
agenda
this
evening.
Okay,
so
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
on
wishing
to
comment
or
okay.
Sorry,
we
have
a
motion
a
second.
A
We
have
a
number
of
ceremonial
matters
this
evening,
so
the
first
one
that
we
will
start
with
item
a
is
a
certificate
of
appreciation
for
Dave
couch
for
his
36
years
of
service
to
the
city
of
Arcata,
and
he
is
here
in
person
to
accept
that
and
so
council
member
Stillman
will
read
that
certificate
of
appreciation
go
ahead.
M
Thank
you.
The

of

Martian

M
N
It's
always
been
a
a
great
place
to
work
and
I've
I,
really
love
getting
the
fact
that
I've
got
to
operate
the
Martian
Wildlife
Sanctuary,
what's
known
as
the
Arcata
Marsh
everybody
for
years
and
years,
and
that's
kind
of
a
special
treat
and
I
hope
you
guys
will
continue
to
support
it
through
to
the
Future
I've
also
been
in
charge
of
the
the
drinking
water
distribution
system
for
years
and
years
and
I
see
later
on.
N
You're
spending
some
money
on
that
tonight,
but
I'll
tell
you
you're
going
to
have
to
spend
money
for
a
lot
more
years,
because
we
have
a
lot
of.
We
have
a
lot
of
pump
station
with
50
year
old
pumps
and
stuff
that
they
were
new
when
I
started,
you
know
or
10
years
old,
but
now
they're
50
years
old
and
you
know
they
all
need
to
be
replaced.
N
Basically,
so
that's
something
for
you
guys
to
every
year
you're
going
to
be
spending
money
unless
you
can
get
grants
for
it,
which
is
those
are
available
out
there
too,
and
then
I
had
a
personal
thing.
You
know
I
serve
on
the
board
for
the
McKinleyville
Community
Service,
District
and
I've
been
an
on
and
off
again
laughco,
member
and
I
know
if
he
goes
know
much
about
lavco
other
than
that.
Are
you
know,
kind
of
another
onerous
local
commission,
but
it's
it's.
N
The
hertezzi
coresbury
ACT
set
up
laugh
goes
across
the
state
of
California
and
their
goal
is
to
preserve
AG
lands
and
prevent
urban
sprawl.
So
if
you
guys
on
the
city
council,
when
there
are
openings
on
lavco,
I
noticed
that
there's
nobody
in
Northern
Humboldt
on
lavco
and
there
hasn't
been
for
a
year
or
so
it'd
be
really
good
for
for
some
of
you
to
to
jump
up
and
do
that
once
again.
Thank
you.
Pretty
happy
I've
got
my
90
pers
retirement
starting
next
month.
N
A
Thank
you
so
much
Dave
and
thank
you
for
all
your
service
to
the
city.
Okay,
our
next
Proclamation
is
in
recognition
of
Welcome
Home,
Vietnam,
Veterans,
Day,
March,
29th,
2023
and
council
member
Atkins
Salazar
will
be
reading
this.
E
Almost
a
decade
after
the
war's
end
that
a
memorial
in
our
nation's
capital
was
dedicated
to
those
members
of
the
United
States
armed
forces
who
lost
their
lives
or
who
were
declared
missing
in
action
during
the
Vietnam
war
and
whereas
on
March
28
2017,
president
Donald
J
Trump
signed
the
Vietnam
War
veterans,
recognition
Act
of
2017
to
officially
recognize
March
29th
as
Viet
as
National
Vietnam,
War
Veterans
Day,
also
known
as
welcome
home
Vietnam
Veterans
Day.
This
act
encourages
all
community
members
to
observe
this
day
by
learning
about
the
sacrifices
Vietnam.
E
Some
veterans
made
to
protect
human
rights
about
and
about
the
importance
of
helping
vietnam-era
veterans
reintegrate
into
civilian
life.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
proclaimed
that
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
Arcata
hereby
recognizes
March
29th
to
be
welcome
home
Vietnam
Veterans
Day
in
Arcata,
the
council,
honors
Vietnam
War
veterans
for
their
extreme
sacrifices,
both
in
Southeast
Asia
and
at
home,
and
express
profound
gratitude
for
their
faithful
service
to
our
country.
Dated
March,
15,
2023
and
signed
by
our
mayor,
Sarah,
Shafer
and
I
think
is,
is
Mark
Riggle
here
today,
no
okay!
E
So
then
Logan
roselli
will
be
accepting
this
on
behalf
of
Mark.
O
Thank
you
Council
for
this
Proclamation.
My
name
is
Logan
roselli
I
am
lucky
to
be
involved
with
a
variety
of
great
organizations
in
our
local
community,
but
tonight
I
am
accepting
this
Proclamation
on
behalf
of
the
Arcata
veterans
hall
I
began
working
for
the
hall
last
August
as
a
college
Corps
fellow
through
the
calpot,
through
Cal
Poly
Humboldt,
to
support
the
hall
and
the
veterans
there
and
help
get
things
moving
again
following
the
pandemic.
I
did
not
pick
the
veterans
hall
as
my
place
of
service.
O
It
was
assigned
to
me
through
my
organization
and
going
into
it.
I
wasn't
quite
sure
what
to
expect.
I
hadn't
had
much
experience
with
veterans
and
certainly
not
veterans
organizations
dedicated
to
providing
access
to
veteran
services.
But
what
I
quickly
found
was
that,
just
like
any
group,
the
hall
is
a
community
of
diverse
individuals
with
countless
different
experiences,
feelings
and
opinions
on
all
sorts
of
matters.
I've
had
the
time
to
get
to
know
many
of
them
and
begin
to
understand
more
about
what
serving
in
the
United
States
military
entails.
O
Truthfully.
We
did
ask
a
Vietnam
veteran
to
accept
this
Proclamation,
but
he
was
unable
to
make
it
and,
as
my
friends
and
I
at
the
hall
discussed
it,
we
realized
that,
though
this
Proclamation
is
in
honor
of
Vietnam
veterans.
It
is
really
meant
as
a
reminder
to
all
of
those
who
hadn't
served
and
it's
not
just
a
reminder
of
the
sacrifice
made
but
of
how
that
sacrifice
was
ignored
and
shunned
by
many
for
decades.
Really.
O
O
If
we
really
want
to
commemorate
and
show
that
we
care
about
veterans
in
this
nation,
then
maybe
we
should
go
beyond
a
thank
you.
In
a
couple
of
days,
out
of
the
year
to
remember
them,
maybe
we
should
help
our
veterans
get
access
to
Services
they
need.
Maybe
we
should
take
the
time
to
understand
more
about
their
experience,
and
maybe
we
should
stop
sending
them
to
fight
and
wars
that
most
Americans
don't
have
the
most
basic
understanding
of.
O
If
anyone
is
interested
in
getting
involved
and
learning
more
about
veterans,
we
have
plenty
of
opportunities
for
you.
At
the
Arcata
veterans
hall,
coming
up
on
March
25th,
we
have
a
Vietnam
War,
Veterans,
Day,
dinner
and
dialogue
event
from
5
to
7
PM.
Everyone
is
welcome
to
attend
and
Veterans
and
their
families
eat
free.
O
We
are
also
hosting
a
murder,
mystery
dinner
experience,
titled,
entrees
and
Espionage
on
Saturday
April,
29th
that'll
be
a
really
fun
and
entertaining
night,
and
the
proceeds
will
go
to
benefit
the
hall
and
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
of
the
Redwoods.
We're
also
looking
for
sponsors
for
that
event,
and
we
offer
several
sponsorship
packages
to
help
promote
your
businesses
if
anyone's
interested.
O
A
Thank
you
Logan
for
sharing
those
words
and
all
you
do
for
the
haul
and
for
sharing
the
upcoming
events.
So
sounds
exciting.
Okay,
our
next
Proclamation
I
am
excited
to
read
as
a
former
rotaracter,
so
this
Proclamation
will
be
in
recognition
of
world
rotor
act
week.
A
March
13th
through
19th
2023,
whereas
rotor

is
a

Affiliated

efforts
begin
at
local
Grassroots
level
with

addressing
their
communities,
physical
and
social
needs,
while
promoting
International
understanding
and
peace
through
the
framework
of
friendship
and
service
and
whereas
roderact
originally
began
as
a
Rotary
International
youth
program
in
1968,
with
a
simple
mission
of
service
above
self
and
has
since
grown
into
a
major
rotary,
sponsored
service
organization
over
10,
000

and
250
000

worldwide,
and
whereas
Los

A
The
week
of
March
13th
through
19th
2023,
is
recognized
by
members
of
rotary
and
rotor
act
as
World

Now,
therefore,
be
it
proclaimed
that
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
Arcata
hereby
proclaims
the
week
of
March
13th
through
19th
2023
as
World
rhetoract
week
in
the
city
of
Arcata
and
Humboldt
County,
and
thanks
our
local
rotarak
clubs
for
their
contributions
to
the
community
so
dated
today.
A
March
15
2023,
signed
by
myself
and
I'm
very
excited
to
present
this
proclamation
to
one
of
my
co-pro
past
presidents
of
Lost
Coast
rotor
act,
Matthew
sundejas,
who
is
also
my
former
High
School
colleague,
and
was
the
one
that
got
me
into
rotor
act
and
honestly
I
can
thank
roderact
for
my
ability
to
speak
in
front
of
a
bunch
of
people
and
sit
up
on
this
diocese,
most
likely.
So
thank
you
to
my
rotary
community
and
rotor
act
and
I'm
honored
to
present
this
to
Matt.
P
Thank
you,
Council
I
appreciate.
It
means
a
lot
Lost
Coast
rotor
Act
is
a
community
service
club.
So
we
focused
a
lot
on
18
to
30
year
olds,
if
you're
in
that
group-
and
you
want
to
build
your
professionalism,
professional
development,
networking
being
part
of
the
local
community
as
well
as
International
Community
I,
myself
have
traveled
to
Bangladesh
for
a
two-week
trip
sponsored
by
the
Rotary
Club
Eureka
we've
had
people
go
to
Costa
Rica
we've
had
others
go
to
India,
so
there's
International
opportunity,
as
well
as
a
local
opportunity.
P
A
I
The
center
provides
nutritious
meals
to
seniors
which
help
to
maintain
their
health
and
Independence
and
avoid
unnecessary,
hospitalizations
and
or
premature
institutionalization,
and
whereas
The
Humble,
Senior,
Resource,
Center's,
congregate
and
home
delivered
meal
programs
provide
a
powerful
socialization
opportunity
for
hundreds
of
seniors
to
help
combat
loneliness
and
isolation.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
proclaimed
by
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
Arcata
that
March
2023
is
March
for
meals
month.
The
council
urges
all
residents
to
honor
the
foundation's
service
organizations,
businesses
and
individuals
who
support
our
senior
nutritions
program
as
well
as
the
seniors
they
serve.
A
And
I
believe
we
don't
have
it
okay.
Nobody
is
here
to
accept
that
one,
but
thank
you
and
we
will
hold
on
to
it
and
get
it
to
who
it
needs
to
go
to
all
right.
So
thank
you
to
all
of
our
Proclamation
acceptors.
A
You've
now
made
it
to
the
regular
part
of
our
meeting,
but
no
pressure
to
stay.
Yes,
we
see
you
rise
up,
but
thank
you
for
being
here
tonight
and
coming
in
and
celebrating
okay,
so
that
takes
us
to
item
number
six.
No
five.
We
missed
a
number
our
next
item
on
the
agenda,
which
is
early
oral
Communications.
A
So
this
time,
15
minute
time
period,
allows
people
to
address
the
Council
on
matters
not
on
the
agenda.
Please
know
that,
pursuant
to
the
brown
act,
the
council
cannot
discuss
or
take
action
on
items
that
are
not
listed
on
the
posted
agenda
and
at
the
end
of
oral
Communications.
The
council
May
respond
to
statements
supported
requests
that
require
Council
action
will
be
set
for
a
future
agenda
or
referred
to
staff.
Speakers
will
be
limited
to
two
minutes
and
there
will
be
an
overall.
A
There
will
also
be
public
comment
specifically
on
each
agenda
item
and
then
again
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
under
item
number
12..
So
if
you
are
here
to
comment
in
person,
please
make
your
way
to
the
podium,
and
if
you
have
one
of
those
cards,
you
can
just
set
it
up
on
the
table
here
and
you
will
have
two
minutes
and
this
whole
time
period
will
be
15
minutes.
So
take
it
away.
B
I
have
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting,
but
I'll
try
and
speak
on
three
things
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
in
the
three
minutes
I
hopefully
have,
but
today,
I
want
to
start
off
with
the
concept
of
the
land
acknowledgment
which
I'm
so
appreciative
of
it's
been
developed
and
read
at
front
in
front
of
the
meeting,
and
hopefully
the
written
version
of
that
will
be
made
available
and
posted
in
the
public
Arena
here
at
City
Hall,
so
that
those
of
us
who
come
into
this
building
can
read
it
and
acknowledge
what
is
being
acknowledged
and
additionally,
I
would
like
to
suggest
perhaps
and
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
mayor's
reading
ability
or
anything,
but
that
Equity
Arcata
members
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
see
if
they
are
perhaps
interested
in
reading
that
acknowledgment.
B
You
have
a
lot
to
read
out
loud,
so
maybe
this
will
give
them
an
opportunity
to
you
know
present
what
Equity
Arcata
has
perhaps
developed
in
terms
of
this
acknowledgment.
So
that's
one
thing
I
wanted
to
suggest.
Secondly,
I
appreciated
being
aware
that
we
could
continue
items
on
the
agenda
and
I
also
have
experienced
at
other
City
Council
meetings
and
other
municipalities
changing
the
order
on
the
agendas
and
because
sometimes
these
meetings
go
very
long.
B
I
would
like
to
suggest
that
staff
reports
be
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting,
because
a
lot
of
people
pay
attention
at
the
beginning
and
Fade
Out
and
staff
reports
are
really
important
and
finally,
I
didn't
send
you
information
about
it,
but
I
posted
it
on
Nextdoor
there's
something
called
Eco
machines
that
are
decentralized
Wastewater
treatments
and
as
our
city
grows
and
as
our
current
equipment
gets
old.
Maybe
we
look
at
Eco
machines
and
decentralized
Wastewater
systems
for
new
development.
Thank
you.
Q
Q
The
I
like
to
acknowledge
Julie,
the
saint
Alcock,
who's
retired,
from
being
chair
of
the
Planning
Commission,
where
she
served
for
a
total
of
14
years.
We
extend
our
great
appreciation
to
Julie
for
her
contributions
to
the
city
of
Arcata.
At
the
previous
meeting,
Rebecca
Buckley
Stein
spoke
on
low-income
housing
and
the
provision
of
inclusionary
zoning
in
the
Gateway
plan.
This
has
been
talked
about
by
the
Planning
Commission
as
council
member
white
knows
because
she
was
a
part
of
these
discussions.
Q
It
is
not
currently
in
the
current
draft
plan,
a
transcript
of
what
she
said
is
on
arcata1.com.
Under
what's
new
new
items,
we
have
an
upcoming
Joint
City
Council
Planning
Commission
study
session
on
March
28th
about
sea
level.
Rise.
I
would
like
to
know
if
this
study
session
is
planned
to
be
recorded
either
by
video
or
audio,
and
if
not,
if
the
sum
of
175
dollars
could
be
allocated
to
provide
a
video
presentation
of
what
I
regard
as
a
very
important
topic
in
terms
of
the
Vietnam
veterans.
Q
I'm,
not
a
veteran
I'm
of
an
age
that
I've
known
dozens
of
veterans,
some
of
whom
are
not
with
us
and
some
of
whom
are
still
with
us,
and
it's
your
words,
whoever
wrote
those
words
are
very
touching.
Thank
you.
R
Good
evening,
Gregory
Daggett,
it's
been
about
a
year
since
I
introduced
SB,
1000,
environmental
justice
and
local
land
use
planning.
I
introduced
this
through
the
scoping
period
during
the
eir
for
the
Gateway
and
I
also
went
into
quite
details
with
letters
to
the
council.
Planning
Commission
City
staff
about
this
in
August
I
think
it
was
October
November
and
a
few
weeks
ago
too.
R
So
I'm
surprised
that
this
is
something
the
city
was
quite
interested
in
doing
a
year
ago
and
I
don't
see
any
evidence
of
this
being
incorporated
into
anything
and
it
isn't
just
about
the
Gateway.
This
is
the
general
plan.
This
is
the
it's
integrated
in
the
coastal
element,
which
you
have
a
draft
that
you're
working
on
and
also
it's
pretty
disappointing
to
see
that
the
land
use
and
growth
management
elements
that
were
part
of
the
Planning
Commission
that
I've
been
participating
in.
There's
no
evidence
of
that.
Added
to
that.
R
So
this
is
a
big
big
issue.
You
know
it!
Basically,
it's
you
know
it's
it's
a
safety
element
that
it
that
needs
to
be
updated
in
case
of
flooding,
sea
level
rise,
fire,
air,
noise,
conservation
and
traffic,
and
you
know
it's
the
land
use
and
growth
management
too.
R
You
know
and
all
these
elves
need
to
be
updated
and
they
haven't,
they
haven't
and
I.
Believe
it's
going
to
be
passed
on
to
you
shortly.
So
that's
a
big
issue,
and
it's
just
not.
This
is
a
law,
and
it's
not
just
my
opinion.
You
know
the
Attorney
General
of
California
is
is
working
with
ensure
local
governments
comply
with
sp-1000,
so
I
would
take
this
seriously
and
take
action.
Thank
you.
C
S
Thank
you,
I
first
wish
to
reach
out
and
thank
all
the
prior
speakers
who
spoke
before
me.
It's
so
good
to
see
people
participating
in
your
process
on
a
regular
basis.
S
I
hope
you
do
listen
to
these
people,
they're
spending
quite
a
bit
of
their
time
and
their
expertise
to
help
you
with
things.
I
just
got
back
from
Mexico
and
Mexico
is
kind
of
the
opposite
of
what
we
are
here
in
many
ways
seem
to
be
quite
more
functional.
They
really
don't
have
much.
As
far
as
lawyers
go,
there
aren't
lawsuits,
there
are
natarios,
and
these
are
people
who
do
land
transaction,
but
we're
not
they're,
not
a
litigation
prone
economy
or
environment
and
you're
on
the
opposite
of
the
spectrum.
S
So
what
I
would
recommend
to
you
folks
is
find
out
from
your
staff
Karen
Diemer,
when
your
insurance
will
be
reevaluated.
I
thought
it
was
sometime
in
April
when
I
talked
to
your
carrier,
and
so
you
can
become
aware
as
soon
as
possible,
the
additional
cost
that
you
folks
will
be
incurring
due
to
your
gigantically
difference
in
claims
that
have
happened
with
the
city
there
recently.
So
this
is
something
that
will
majorly
affect
your
budget.
S
Majorly
affect
your
future
planning
as
far
as
your
spending
goes,
and
it's
just
like
the
purrs
and
everything
that's
adding
up
when
these
things
go
through
the
roof.
You're
going
to
have
some
major
problems.
So
again,
I've
always
talked
about
risk.
Minimizing
risk,
as
today
I
have
not
had
response
back
from
your
staff
that
they
have
minimized
risk
when
they've
been
advised
of
some
things
that
should
be
done
and
I
think
it'd
be
interesting
for
you,
folks
to
see
the
formula
how
your
Insurance
liability
insurance
is
calculated
and
and
get
a
total
assessment.
S
As
far
as
your
payouts
in
the
last
last
year,
relative
to
what
happened
in
Prior
years,
I
think
you'll
be
quite
amazed
at
the
amount
of
money
that
you'll
be
spending
at
your
rates
will
be
going
to
to
the
roof.
Thank
you
for
opportunity
to
speak.
I
did
lastly
wish
to
close.
Unfortunately,
it
appears
that,
in
my
opinion
and
many
people,
Nordic
Aqua
Farms
probably
will
not
be
moving
forward
and
I
did
notice
today
that
it's
quite.
A
Appreciate
it
we'll
be
back
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
for
three
more
minutes
so
we'll
be
here
all
right.
Do
we
have
any
more
early
oral
Communications
online?
We
do
not
all
right,
okay!
Well!
Thank
you,
everybody
for
your
comments
and
that
will
take
us
now
to
our
consent.
Calendar
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,
the
item
is
removed
from
the
consent,
calendar
and
considered
separately.
A
Fifteen
percent
of
the
total
not
to
exceed
seven
hundred
and
seventy
three
thousand
six
hundred
and
twenty
nine
dollars
and
fifteen
cents
to
allow
for
any
unforeseen
contingencies
and
authorize
the
city
manager
to
execute
all
applicable
documents.
Item
D,
adopt
resolution
number
223-43,
a
resolution
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
Arcata
amending
the
class
and
pay
resolution
management,
mid
management,
confidential
and
appointed
employees
to
correct
a
typographical
error
to
salary
range,
c177
step.
J
Like
to
remove
item
A
and
G,
if
I
could
please
yes.
H
A
H
H
A
Aye
all
right
motion
carries
unanimously
for
those
items
and
okay,
we
will
start
with
item
a.
J
J
It
appears
that
the
minutes
do
not
reflect
these
directives.
I
did
go
back
to
the
video
recording,
not
once
but
twice
for
our
March
1st
meeting,
and
that
was
not
my
understanding.
J
What
transpired,
but
I
do
want
to
clarify
with
my
fellow
council
members
to
get
clarification
on
their
understanding
on
stopping
engagement
on
the
form-based
codes
engagements
in
the
July
date
for
the
Planning
Commission
to
bring
forward
the
draft
of
the
general
plan
and
then
whether
or
not
we
need
to
change
the
minutes
accordingly,
if
needed
currently
right
now,
they
do
not
reflect
that
so
I
just
want
to
see
where
we
need
to
move
for
that.
A
My
understanding
and
I
did
speak
to
director
Loya
about
this
was
not
not
that
we'd
stop.
You
know
engagement,
but
that
I
I
felt
like
the
intent
of
what
we
talked
about,
was
to
have
more
of
a
work
item
and
to
have
some
actual
form-based
code
to
then
continue
engagement
with
actual
code,
because
people
had
been
requesting
yeah.
A
This
is
this
is
cool,
but
it's
really,
you
know
kind
of
ethereal
and
over
my
head
without
seeing
an
actual
code
and
so
that
how
I
I
read
it
and
what
I
thought
our
discussion
kind
of
directed
was
that
you
know
that
we
would
get
some
actual
code
and
then
continue
the
engagement
with
that
work
product
that.
J
Also,
the
general
plan
I
went
back
to
that
same
video,
and
it
wasn't
my
understanding
that
we
had
directed
them
to
have
this
ready
at
that.
The
March
1st
meeting
anyway
to
have
the
draft
plan
ready
by
July
for
the
Planning
Commission.
A
And
that
could
maybe
be
just
a
clarification
or
an
agenda
item
request
just
to
have
and
and
so
that
both
Stacy
and
Alex
could
be
part
of
that
conversation.
H
A
H
C
Fine,
we
certainly
can
bring
an
agenda
item
back
around
General
plan
timeline.
I.
Think
the
discussion
of
the
council's
meeting,
their
last
meeting
was
consistent
with
you
know,
timelines
that
we
had
talked
about
before
I
do
know.
The
Planning
Commission
had
produced
sense
of
conversation
last
night.
L
J
I
C
I'll
go
ahead,
no
because
I
do
want
to
be
clear
that
the
original
scope
of
work
included
three
sets
of
two
meetings.
Each
there
was
an
initial
sort
of
online
Zoom
platform
opened
to
the
public
and
kind
of
geared
towards
getting
public
input,
and
then
there
was
a
follow-up
Workshop
that
was
typically
on
a
Saturday
with
the
Planning
Commission
to
go
through
that
material
and
work
towards
recommendations.
So
we
have
halted
that
second,
that
third
set
of
meetings
we
got
through
three
meetings
and
the
Planning
Commission
had
one
more
meeting
my
understanding.
C
The
discussion
was
that
we
would
use
that
fourth
meeting
with
the
Planning
Commission
to
provide
as
much
input
as
they
could
to
bendable
to
then
go
forth
and
work
on
the
on
the
form-based
code
and
really,
depending
on
the
resources
needed
to
put
as
much
Resource
as
necessary
into
developing
that
code.
And
then
yes,
we
will
resume
public
engagement
with
that
code.
I
Yeah
and
I
don't
want
to
maybe
talk
too
much
about
this
with
the
other
council
members,
but
it
was
my
understanding
that
you
know
participation.
It
was
less
than
robust
and
maybe
a
way
to
get
some
more
engagement
would
be
to
have
something
specific
for
them
to
look
at
and
so
therefore,
we're
gonna
pause.
J
C
A
Q
I'm
Fred
wise
I
also
had
objection
to
the
minutes,
not
being
reflective
of
what
actually
happened.
I
wrote
out
what
I
think
is
happening
and
you
can
decide
for
yourselves
whether
what
I
have
here
is
is
valid
I,
like
the
minutes
to
reflect
that
the
city
council
directed
well.
Let
me
rephrase
sorry
this.
The
summary
we
want
to
discuss
is
taken
from
the
staff
report
to
the
Planning
Commission
at
their
meeting
last
night
from
David
Loya,
and
so
this
is
how
he
observed
it.
Q
The
council
directed
community
development
director
to
One
Stop
the
three
remaining
plan:
form-based
code
engagements,
to
prepare
a
draft
of
the
form-based
code
for
public
review
as
soon
as
possible,
and
to
complete
the
general
plan
and
Gateway
area
plan
by
the
end
of
June
2023
for
city
council
review
in
July
2023.
Q
Q
We
can
also
note
that
the
discussion
included
information
about
the
general
Plan
update
and
council
members,
Acton,
Salazar
and
Stillman
could
have
been
present
for
that
I
suggest
in
the
future
that
any
discussion
of
the
general
plan
be
separated
from
the
Gateway
plan
so
that
they
all
the
full
Council
can
be
there,
and
this
is
a
copy
of
what
I
just
said.
Thank
you.
M
I
watched
the
Planning
Commission
last
night
and
I
also
went
back
then,
because
Judith,
a
mayor
had
contacted
Kimberly
to
make
sure
what
did
it
say.
The
council
actually
say
during
the
meeting,
so
that
made
me
go
back
and
watch
the
part
of
the
meeting
that
I
wasn't
able
to
see
and
I
could
unders
I
saw
that
there
was
clear
direction
from
the
work
from
watching
it
online
foreign.
C
We
will
be
up
till
at
the
city
clerk
go
through
the
comments
tonight.
If
you
want
to
hold,
we
can
bring
the
minutes
back
at
the
next
meeting.
I'm.
I
A
Then
I,
second,
all
right.
We
didn't
check
online
if
there
were
any
public
comments
on
agenda
item
a
the
minutes,
so
let's
check
online
yep,
seeing
none
okay,
great!
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
to
bring
these
minutes
back
to
the
April
5th
meeting
was
that
okay.
M
A
Okay
and
we'll
review
those
minutes
and
make
sure
that
they
sit
true
with
the
direction
that
was
given
by
council
at
that
meeting,
all
right,
all
in
favor.
A
Okay,
five
eyes:
thank
you
for
item
a
and
that
takes
us
now
to
item
C
about
the
I
Street
boat,
launch,
project,
rebid
and
I
will
take
it
to
our
member
that
pulled
it.
Hi.
B
B
That
was
something
that
the
coastal
commission
was
looking
at
I
believe,
and
so,
when
a
lot
of
money
on
something
involving
the
coastal
commission
and
something
in
our
waterways
and
Marsh
area,
I
would
just
prefer
to
have
it
pulled
and
explained
a
little
bit
so
that
it's
captured
for
the
people
in
the
public,
who
maybe
are
curious
about
what
this
all
means,
because
that's
three
quarters
of
a
million
dollars
we're
talking
potentially.
B
A
All
right
can
we
get
a
quick
staff
report
on
nmc.
T
Hi
I'm
David
case
the
assistant
city,
engineer,
I'll
just
start
with
maybe
a
little
bit
of
background.
This
project
came
to
council
last
year,
so
we
have
seen
it
before,
but
it's
it's
for
it.
We
have
a
department
of
boating
and
waterways.
Grant
that
pays
for
the
majority
of
this
project,
I
would
say,
and
it's
for
a
it's,
not
really
a
boat
ramp,
it's
more
of
a
kayak
boat
launch.
T
It's
got
a
gangway
that
goes
out
and
it's
just
a
launch
that
floats
up
and
down
with
the
tides
supported
by
two
piles,
and
it
has
some
new
parking
improvements
and
some
sidewalk
improvements
and
stuff
like
that.
So
that's
generally
the
scope
of
of
that.
We
do
have
I
believe
we
have
all
of
our
permits
through
the
coastal
commission
and
and
everyone
for
the
project,
and
it's
it's
essentially
ready
to
go,
trying
to
think
I
know.
There's
probably
more
I
should
speak
to,
but
you.
T
There,
the
original
the
original
bid
had
an
additive
alternative
for
a
vault
toilet,
but
that
was
eliminated
partially
because
ended
up
becoming
the
bids
end
up
being
over
over
what
we
had
budgeted.
And
so
we
had
two
additive
Alternatives
one
was
the
Vault
toilet
and
one
was
for
some
striping.
The
striping
was
a
small
amount
and
we
felt
that
that
was
probably
something
that
could
be
covered
with
additional
City
funds,
but
the
Vault
toilet
itself
was
quite
a
bit
over,
so
that
was
eliminated.
A
Asking
so
this
came
out
a
bit
and
it
wasn't
within
budget
when
we
bid
it
before,
and
so
we
didn't
accept
any
of
the
bids
on
it
and
now
we
have
sent
it
out
to
rebid
and
it
falls
within
budget
and
we're
gonna
do
the
project
now
yeah
yeah.
This
project
has
been
approved
and
it
was
approved
like
a
long
time
ago
and
we
were
going
to
do
it
and
then
it
just
was
not
in
budget.
But
now
things
seem
better
looks
good.
A
M
H
A
Right
motion
passes
and
then
nextly
item
D
was
pulled.
Item
D
was
pulled.
B
So
again,
based
on
that
Sunshine
week,
ceremonial
reproclamation
of
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
just
a
little
explanation
of
what
was
the
typographical
error
that
we're
correcting
so
that
we're
amending
this
resolution.
C
Sure
we,
when
we
hired
a
incoming
staff
member,
we
recognized
in
our
accounting
system
when
we
put
this
person
in
at
a
range
at
step,
two
of
our
salary
range
that
our
computerized
software
was
slightly
different
than
what
our
resolution
said
and
the
rest
of
that
that
range
was
correct.
Had
we
brought
her
in
at
step,
one
three,
four,
five
or
five
a
would
have
been
correct.
C
We
had
nobody
else
in
this
particular
classification,
but
there
was
just
a
transposing
of
numbers,
so
we
wanted
to
make
sure
she
has
always
been
paid
correctly,
but
we
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
our
resolution
reflected
the
correct
pay
that
was
in
our
accounting
software
as
well.
For
that
classification.
A
H
H
A
All
right
passes
unanimously
that
takes
us
to
item
e
to
reappoint
some
of
our
members
of
the
forest
management
committee,
and
so
we
comment
on
that
item.
B
I
am
all
in
favor
of
the
reappointment
of
these
people.
I
know
two
of
them
fairly.
Well,
one
of
the
things
I
just
wanted
to
comment
on
is
that
a
lot
of
the
Committees
we're
meeting,
of
course
remotely
because
of
the
pandemic.
B
B
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
those
of
us
who
are
interested
in
participating
at
such
a
meeting,
because
it's
not
going
to
be
in
a
traditional
room
that
there's
good
notification
and
the
committee
is
open
to
having
members
of
the
public
attend
those
meetings
if
they're
going
to
be
held
up
at
Redwood,
Community,
Park
Forest,
so
I
just
wanted
to
call
attention
to
that,
because
sometimes
we
can
get
so
insular
in
our
committees
that
you
know,
people
don't
realize
that
they
have
the
ability
to
attend
these
meetings
and
that
they
can
and
that
these
meetings
sometimes
are
held
up
in
the
woods
in
the
early
morning.
A
So,
thank
you.
Joanne
and
I
know
that
usually
the
the
Fridays
before
meetings
that
media
blast
that
gets
posted
with
the
press
releases
on
our
website
and
Logan
sends
it
out
to
like
yeah
email
lists
and
I
try
to
repost
it.
But
it
does.
You
know,
post
those
agendas
and
I
assume
that
it
posts
where
those
meetings
are
happening
as
well,
if
they're
off-site
so.
H
A
Okay,
and
so
thank
you
and
congratulations
to
our
reappointed,
forest
management
committee,
members,
okay,
that
takes
us
to
item
G
to
reappoint
Christian
Figueroa
to
the
Planning
Commission
for
a
term
ending
March,
31st,
2027
and
I
believe
councilmember
white
pulled
that
item.
If
you
want
to
bring
up
your
concerns,.
J
Not
a
concern
I,
just
Commendation
I
just
want
to
thank
Christian
for
his
surveys
and
say
it
was
really
an
honor
to
serve
with
him
very
much
enjoyed
serving
with
Christian
on
the
Planning
Commission.
He
brings
to
the
table,
in
particular
expertise
from
the
engineering
perspective
and
I'm
really
happy
to
hear
that
he'll
be
continuing
to
serve
on
the
Planning
Commission
and
maybe
just
to
piggyback.
On
what
Fred
rice
said.
J
U
J
Two
separate
yeah
and
so
she'll
be
dearly
missed,
and
it
was
also
an
honor
to
serve
with
her
my
entire
time
that
I
was
on
the
commission
for
three
so
anyway.
That's
it.
A
I'll,
second,
all
right,
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second
and
yes,
thank
you,
Christian
for
your
desire
to
continue
to
serve
on
the
Planning
Commission
as
well,
and
just
a
little
plug
to
the
public.
We
do
have
a
vacancy
on
the
Planning
Commission.
If
you
are
interested
in
applying
those
materials
are
posted
online.
All
right,
we
had
a
motion
by
council
member
Stillman
in
a
second
by
vice
mayor,
Matthews,
all
in
favor,
aye,
aye,
okay,
unanimous
thank
you
and
lastly,
that
takes
us
to
item
I
and
I.
Believe
yes,
okay,.
D
B
And
a
specific
specifics
of
what
these
parcels
and
the
university
and
the
transfer
for
I
mean
it's,
it's
a
little
legal,
easy
or
real
estatey
or
something
for
me
and
just
like
a
clarification
in
better
understood
language
to
the
layperson
of
what
this
is
all
about.
Thank
you.
Yes,.
A
V
Sure,
good
evening,
council
members,
so
in
a
very
brief
summary,
this
is
a
property
acquisition.
The
city
has
been
working
towards
since
2019..
This
item
in
effect,
came
before
you
in
August
of
2022.
V
The
difference
is
that,
since
working
with
the
title
company
after
the
council
approved
moving
forward
in
August
2022,
there
was
a
correction
to
the
legal
description
needed,
so
that
correction
has
been
made,
which
is
why
this
item
is
back
before
you.
What
this
will
do
is
enable
the
city
to
move
forward
in
acquiring
a
1.3
acre
parcel
that
will
expand
the
Arcata
Martian
wildlife
sanctuary
in
bringing
it
back
to
the
overall
intent
of
this
acquisition
from
a
couple
years
ago.
H
C
A
A
So
our
first
item
under
new
business
is
item
a
to
a
point
up
to
two
new
members:
the
wetlands
and
Creeks
committee.
We
had
our
interviews
just
before
this
meeting
for
one
term
that
will
begin
immediately
and
and
March
31st
2024
and
then
for
another
term
that
will
begin
on
April
1st
2023
and
will
end
March,
31st
2026..
So.
H
A
We
have
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
council
or
any
discussion
about
either
of
those
members
of
the
possible
committee
here.
H
E
It's
okay,
I
was
just
gonna
say.
Even
though
there
was
connectivity
issues.
Stephen
railsbeck's
application
was
great,
and
so
I
was
just
going
to.
If
there's
not
any
discussion
to
make
a
motion
for
the
term
beginning
immediately
and
ending
March
31st
2024
for
Stephen
railsback
and
Emma,
held
for
the
term
beginning
April
1st
2023
and
ends
March
31st
2026.
H
A
Clarifying
those
start
dates
and
then
I
heard
a
second
over
here
from
Alex
all
right.
So
we
have
a
motion
a
second
on
that.
Yes,
we
had
two
very
qualified
candidates
that
have
both
been
environmental
Engineers.
A
current
wildlife
biologist
salmon
biologist
people
that
sounded
really
excited
to
want
to
get
involved
in
this
committee
too.
So
it's
great
to
hear,
so
we
have
a
motion
a
second
on
that.
Let's
now
take
public
comment
on
this
item.
We
do
need
to
take
public
comment.
A
So
if
anybody
in
person
would
like
to
comment
on
our
enter
view,
appointments
or
if
there's
anybody
online.
C
Yeah
one
online
comment:
Sherry
go
ahead,
Sherry.
D
D
H
H
A
You
great
glad
we
could
clarify
all
right,
so
we
have
a
motion
a
second.
If
there
is
no
more
public
comment,
we
will
move
forward
on
voting
on
these
appointments.
So
all
in
favor.
H
A
Okay
motion
carries
unanimously
all
right,
that'll,
take
us
to
Item
B,
which
is
to
receive
a
presentation
on
Calpers
pension
update
from
gov,
invest.
So
may
we
have
a
staff
report
from
Finance
director,
Tabitha
Miller
and
welcome
Tabitha
I
feel
like
this
might
be
one
of
our
our
first
staff
reports
that
I'm
eating
here.
So
thank
you.
It.
U
Is
good
evening,
thank
you.
U
This
is
my
my
debut
I
guess,
as
you
would
say,
and
this
first
item
is
pretty
straightforward:
we're
going
to
actually
turn
it
over
to
the
representatives
from
gov,
invest
the
experts
in
pensions
and
they're
going
to
present
the
item
and
really
what
what
we
would
ask
the
the
city
council
to
kind
of
provide
at
the
end
of
this
is
Direction
on
whether
or
not
the
topic
is
something
that
you'd
like
to
explore
further,
mostly
looking
at
ways
potential
ways
to
reduce
or
even
curtail,
some
of
the
costs
that
we're
coming
up
on.
C
C
W
So
yeah
I
think
I
think
I'll
be
fine
alone.
Okay,
I'll
be
speaking,
but
I
think
the
number
is
going
to
be
speaking
for
me
as
we
go
through
this
all.
C
C
W
Yay,
okay,
so
far,
Victory
all
right
so
I'm
here
to
talk.
Give
you
a
basically
an
update
on
your
Calpers
pension.
Calpers
is
the
California
Public
Employee
Retirement
System,
and
that's
where
the
the
administrator
that
you
use
to
pay
pensions
to
your
employees?
W
How
your
agency
compares
to
others
then
talk
about
how
what
changes
have
happened
to
Calpers
since
the
last
valuation
and
the
impact
of
those
changes
on
your
costs
and
then
finish
up
with
some
actions
you
might
take
decide
to
take
in
the
future
general
areas
where
you
can
start
doing
things
to
take
better
control
of
what's
going
on
with
the
costs.
W
So
when
I
start
with
the
basics,
I
like
to
start
with
the
the
absolute
basic
which
is
when
Calpers
determines
costs
a
lot
of
people,
you
know
a
lot
of
people.
Consider
this
some
sort
of
you
know
magic
or
arbitrary.
It's
not!
It's
got
a
basic
concept.
The
basic
concept
is
that
the
money
going
into
Calpers
is
designed
to
be
enough
to
equal
the
money
coming
out
of
Calpers.
W
The
money
going
out
of
Calpers
is
a
combination
of
the
benefits
paid
to
your
people
and
expenses
and
of
those
two
benefits
is
by
far
the
largest
Calpers.
Expenses
are
10
basis
points
or
about
point.
One
percent
of
your
assets
making
Calpers
one
of
the
most
cost
effective
benefit
administrators
in
the
country.
W
Money
coming
into
the
plan
comes
from
basically
three
sources:
employee
contributions,
City
contributions
and
investment
income
and
of
those
three.
By
far
the
largest
is
investment
income
depending
on
how
the
markets
are
doing
at
any
point
in
time,
investment
income
could
be
anywhere
from
60
to
90
percent
of
the
money
coming
into
the
plan.
Now
that's
great
news
in
terms
of
keeping
your
costs
down.
W
It
is
not
good
news
when
it
comes
to
volatile
markets
and
how
volatile
that
can
make
the
contributions
from
year
to
year
for
the
city,
because
if
investment
income
goes
down,
your
contributions
are
going
up.
Investment
income
goes
up.
Your
contributions
are
going
down
now.
Calpers
does
their
best
to
try
and
keep
things
steady
as
a
percentage
of
payroll
across
time.
They
do
this
by
projecting
out
what
benefits
we
paid
at.
W
What
time
to
do
that
they
need
to
make
a
series
of
assumptions
economic
assumptions,
things
related
to
money,
like
investment,
return,
salary,
growth,
inflation
and
demographic
assumptions.
Assumptions
related
to
your
people
like:
when
are
your
employees
going
to
retire,
which
of
them
might
become
disabled
while
working
for
the
city
and
start
collecting
benefits
early?
How,
when
are
the
retirees
going
to
die
which
employees
might
leave
before
collecting
pensions?
So
all
that
gets
taken
into
account,
so
the
Calpers
collects
the
right
amount
of
money
not
too
much
not
too
little
across
time.
W
Now
they
do
that,
based
on
your
benefits
with
your
people,
your
benefit
structures.
Basically,
you
have
two
classifications
of
employees,
miscellaneous
and
safety,
miscellaneous
or
sort
of
the
the
general
employees
working
throughout
the
city,
and
they
fall
into
three
tiers
depending
on
when
they
were
hired
for
those
hired
the
honor
before
June
23
2013
they're
in
tier
one
tier
one
formulas
2.7
at
55..
W
W
The
final
pay
is
determined
based
on
the
highest
12
months
pay
during
their
career.
On
top
of
that,
the
the
benefits
increase
each
year
with
the
cost
of
living
adjustment
that
is
Matt
that
is
the
greater
of
or
so
the
lesser
of
inflation
or
two
percent
to
get
that
benefit.
The
tier
one
people
pay,
eight
percent
of
their
pay,
plus
you've
negotiated
an
additional
employee
contribution
of
somewhere
between
one
and
three
percent
of
pay.
W
Depending
on
what
bargaining
group
they're
in
you
created
tier
two,
your
city
council
did
in
June
of
2012,
so
people
hired
between
June,
24,
2012
and
the
end
of
2012
have
a
two
or
in
the
two
at
fifty
two
percent
of
55,
so
a
slightly
lower
benefit.
They
pay
a
little
bit
less
seven
percent
of
pay
plus
again
the
additional
one
to
three
percent
of
pay
in
2012,
Governor,
Brown
and
the
legislature
passed
a
law.
It's
called
pepra
public,
employee
pension
reform,
Act.
W
W
based
on
the
highest
36
months,
pay
throughout
their
career
and
the
contributions,
instead
of
being
a
fixed
amount
across
time,
are
equal
to
fifty
percent
of
normal
costs.
Normal
cost
is
the
Actuarial
term
referring
to
the
cost
for
each
year
of
service,
as
it's
earned
so
50
of
normal
cost.
When
the
assumptions
change
these
change
and
so
effective,
July
1
2023,
the
contributions
for
people
in
peppera
are
going
to
increase
up
to
7.75
percent
of
pay.
W
There
are
also
some
additional
employee
contributions
somewhere
between
zero
and
three
percent
of
pay
for
members
who
are
in
Pepper.
This
is
just
the
miscellaneous
employees.
Safety
members,
which
generally
across
the
state,
becomes
police
or
fire
pay
depending
on
you
know,
also
have
a
tier
one,
a
tier
two
and
a
tier
three.
The
tier
one
was
three
percent
of
fifty.
W
The
tier
two
is
a
three
percent
of
55.
and
the
pepper
formula
is:
is
now
a
2.7
at
55.
and
their
contributions
for
the
pepper
members
under
safety
are
also
going
up,
effective,
July,
1
2023
to
13.75
percent
of
pay,
plus
they
pay
an
additional
1.5
percent,
so
the
total
is
going
to
be
15.25
moving
forward.
W
Now
your
Workforce
right
now
as
of
the
most
recent
valuation,
was
about
half
in
the
tier
one
and
tier
two
and
half
in
the
pepper.
Roughly
the
most
recent
valuation
was
done
as
of
June
30
2021..
W
If
the
turnover
follows
the
patterns
projected
across
the
state
by
Calpers
actuaries
and
you
hire
just
to
replace
those
people
within
five
years,
two-thirds
of
your
Workforce
will
be
peppera
within
10
years.
Three
quarters
will
be
peppera
and
then
it'll
keep
growing.
So,
as
that
happens,
your
Workforce
is
going
to
shift
from
being
in
the
more
expensive
classic
formulas
to
the
less
expensive
pepra.
W
C
C
So
at
the
negotiating
bargaining
table
with
our
in
represented
employees,
we
actually
negotiated
a
lower
tier
retirement
system,
and
so
that's
why
you
have
that
sort
of
in
the
middle,
and
we
only
have
a
handful
of
employees
that
are
on
that
middle
tier
that
came
in
in
that
one
year
period
and
then
the
state
came
in.
So
that's
why
we
have
that.
W
Ryan
there
are
a
number
of
agencies
throughout
the
state
who
felt
the
same
pressure
made
other
made
changes
like
that
in
2012,
which
probably
also
led
to
Governor
Brown,
making
his
changes
at
the
same
time.
The
other
thing
I
do
want
to
mention
is,
if
you
hire
somebody
from
another,
eight
Calpers
agency
who
happen
to
have
been
hired
with
their
other
Calpers
agency
prior
to
2013.
I
You
go
back
to
so
money
from
another
agency
started
in
20
in
2010,
but
then
they
come
here.
They
don't
start
a
tier
one.
They
started
tier
two:
okay
cool,
yes,
Karen.
W
Okay,
all
right
now,
I
want
to
go
through,
comparing
how
your
agency
is
doing
compared
to
other
agencies
in
Calpers
across
the
state.
Do
that
based
on
two
metrics,
one
is
funded
percentage.
So
basically,
how
well
funded
are
your
debts
or
your
pension
debt?
We
do
that
by
calculating
plan
assets
divided
by
the
plan.
Liabilities,
that's
calculated
as
of
June,
thirty,
two
thousand
twenty
one.
W
W
So
that's
the
required
contribution
that
you're
expected
to
make
in
fiscal
year,
2023
divided
by
your
projected
pensionable
compensation
that
way
it's
a
percentage
so
that
we
can
match
you
up
against
other
agencies
that
are
not
necessarily
the
same
exact
size
that
you
are.
So
it's
not
a
question
of
how
big
you
are,
but
how
much
you're
paying
as
a
portion
of
as
a
proportion
of
your
payroll
now
to
do
that.
We
also
Calpers
has
basically
two
major
categories
of
eight
size
agencies.
W
W
Two
thousand
twelve
2010
somewhere
around
there
is
put
all
agencies
with
fewer
than
100
active
members
in
any
other,
in
a
plan
into
the
risk
pool
that
way,
you
are
sharing
some
of
the
experience
risks
that
are
going
on
what
would
happen
with
small
cities
in
the
past
is
a
couple
of
police
officers
might
get
killed
in
line
of
duty
or
firefighters,
disabled
in
the
line
of
duty
and
their
costs
would
shoot
through
the
roof,
as
they
had
to
pay
off
that
higher
liabilities
rather
than
having
that
happen
to
one
agency
because
of
bad
luck
that
those
experiences
shared
across
all
the
small
agencies.
W
So
you
are
with
fewer
than
100
active
employees
in
miscellaneous
fewer
than
100
in
safety.
You
are
in
the
risk
pools,
so
the
classic
members
plans
get
measured
against
other
classic
plans.
The
pep
members
against
other
pepper
members,
miscellaneous
against
miscellaneous
safety
against
safety.
So
we
have
a
few
sets
of
graphs
to
go
through
here
on
the
miscellaneous
side,
you're
approximately
80
funded,
and
that
pretty
much
puts
you
in
the
middle
of
where
agencies
are
across.
W
You
know
in
Calpers,
so
you're
pretty
much
in
the
middle
right
now
now
your
costs
for
miscellaneous
as
a
percentage
of
pay,
are
at
the
high
end.
The
reason
for
that
is
your
sorry
hitting
buttons
too
fast.
W
The
reason
for
that
is
that
your
contribution
is
a
combination
of
normal
costs
cost
for
each
year
of
service,
as
it
goes
each
year
as
they
earn
it,
which
is
pretty
consistent
across
all
the
agencies,
in
the
risk
pool,
plus
a
payment
for
unfunded
liability
that
payment
front
from
the
liability
is
a
fixed
dollar
amount
and
while
your
funded
percentage
is
average
your
if
to
the
extent
that
you
have
a
number
of
vacancies
right
now,
you
are
spreading
that
cost
over
fewer
employees
and
you
may
have
historically,
and
so
as
a
percentage
of
payroll.
W
The
for
your
miscellaneous,
your
tier
two,
the
tier
two
plans
again
as
I
mentioned
before
a
bunch
of
those
throughout
the
state.
Most
of
them
started
in
2011
2012..
W
They
are
all
pretty
well
funded,
so
you're,
being
100
funded,
puts
you
right
in
the
middle
of
where
those
are
and
your
contributions
are
basically
normal
cost.
The
differences
between
these
are
very
small
notice.
This
is
10
to
11
11
to
12..
These
are
all
about
you're
all
in
about
the
same
place
in
terms
of
contributions,
so
that's
in
good
shape.
W
Pepra.
Also
over
100
funded
puts
you
where
most
of
the
plans
are,
and
your
contribution
is
just
normal
cost.
So
you're
right
in
the
middle,
where
95
of
the
plans
are
throughout
the
state
on
the
safety
side
fund,
a
percentage
78.9,
so
roughly
80
again
puts
you
right
around
the
middle
80
is
where
almost
everybody
is
right
now
so
you're
in
good
shape,
not
phenomenal
shape,
but
good
shape.
W
The
contributions,
though,
again
at
the
high
end,
seems
like
you
know
again
having
if
you're
having
trouble
filling
vacancies
is
causing
this
to
be
high
as
a
percentage
of
pay.
W
Tier
two
over
100
funded,
so
the
contribution
rate
right
in
the
middle
22
percent
at
normal
cost
and
peppera
also
over
100
to
your
contributions,
are
right
in
the
middle
of
13.5
percent.
So,
overall,
your
funding
percentage
is
in
solid
shape,
but
the
you
know-
and
my
and
as
you
get
have
the
opportunity
to
start
filling
some
of
the
vacancies
getting
your
Workforce
up
to
the
levels
they
have
been
in
the
past.
W
I
Can
I
ask
a
quick
question?
I'm,
so
sorry
are
our
Police
Department?
Are
they
in
a
tear
all
to
themselves?
Are
they
at
a
different
percentage.
W
W
A
percentage
of
pay
now
the
thing
is
when
you
do
fill
them,
those
are
probably
going
to
be
pepper
people,
those
are
and
pepper.
People
are
less
expensive,
so
your
your
costs
will
as
a
whole
get
lower,
but
these
numbers,
the
ones
for
the
Classic
Plan,
the
ones
remaining
May.
Until
you
get
that
unfunded
liability
paid
off
may
look
like
they
are
very
high
as
a
percentage
of
pay.
Thank
you,
okay.
So
all
this
was
as
of
June,
30.
2021.
W
What's
happened
since
then.
Well,
I
want
to
start
off
again
most
important
thing
that
affects
all
of
this
is
investment
return
investment
returned
the
last
two
years
has
been
volatile
CalPERS
in
the
year,
ending
June,
30
2021.
So
to
get
to
the
numbers
we
were
showing,
they
announced
a
return
of
21.3
percent.
So
one
of
the
top
five
investment
returns
in
Calpers
history.
W
They
followed
that
up
2022
with
a
minus
6.1,
which
is
one
of
the
bottom
five
investment
returns
in
Calpers
history.
So
what
we're?
Basically
seeing
is
volatility
at
you
know
at
levels
we've
never
seen
before.
W
In
fact,
if
you
look
at
the
last
decade
here,
the
green
bars
are
investment
Returns
on
a
year
by
year
basis
they
were
relatively
steady
and
solid
throughout
the
80s
and
90s,
but
since
2000,
especially
since
2007
extremely
volatile
up
and
down-
and
the
thing
is
this
is
not-
you
know
pointing
at
Calpers
Calpers-
it
has
so
much
money.
They
need
to
be.
You
know
very
much
in
the
market
and
if
you
look
at
any
large
Pension
Plan
across
the
country,
their
graphs
looks
very
similar
to
this.
W
So
a
lot
of
volatility.
The
red
line
here
is
the
assumed
rate
of
return,
the
discount
rate,
and
if
you
look
closely,
you
can
see
that
it
is
slightly
decreasing
over
time.
It
was
8.75
percent
in
the
mid.
80S
dropped
all
the
way
down
to
6.8
percent
in
2021..
W
W
Now,
in
the
last
few
months,
the
FED
has
been
raising
those
rates
up
again,
so
it's
very
possible
when
Calpers
looks
at
their
assumed
rate
of
return
again
in
2025,
they
may
actually
start
to
move
it
up
a
little
bit,
but
given
the
volatility,
there's
gonna
be
a
lot
happening
between
now
and
then
so
I
wouldn't
jump
that
far
ahead.
W
Other
thing
I
want
to
mention
is
these
numbers
that
are
shown
are
the
numbers
reported
by
Calpers.
They
are
the
numbers
that
Calpers
announces
in
July
of
each
year.
They,
you
know
the
year
ends
June
30..
They
try
and
announce
by
mid-july
what
they
earned
in
the
previous
year.
W
That
works
very
well
for
everything,
except
for
the
portion
of
their
portfolio.
That's
in
private
equity,
private
Equity
takes
a
little
bit
longer
to
properly
value,
so
at
the
by
the
sometime
in
September.
W
They
announce
in
an
investment
committee
meeting
how
what
the
difference
is
between
what
they
thought
it
was
going
to
be
in
July
and
what
it
truly
is
going
to
be,
and
you
know,
with
the
private
Equity
valued
properly
now
in
2021.
W
They
found
six
billion
dollars.
They
announced
in
the
committee
meeting
did
not
put
it
in
any
of
the
other
reports,
but
they
credited
everybody
with
that
extra
amount.
So
you've
got
credit
for
23.4
percent
return
and
the
year
ending,
June
30
22
that
minus
6.1
they
announced
is
going
to
be
minus
7.5.
W
W
W
W
Right
now
for
the
22-23
year,
you're
paying
a
little
less
than
3
million.
It
was
going
to
go
up
just
over
3
million
and
pretty
much
level
off
all
the
way
through
2035
36
then
drop
down
as
some
of
the
amortization
bases
get
paid
off
and
get
fully
paid
off
around
2040.,
instead
with
the
weak
return,
the
minus
7.6
Calpers
phases
in
the
impact
of
investment
gains
and
losses
over
a
five-year
period.
W
Now
this
is
because
unfunded
liability
is
going
to
increase
dramatically.
As
we
see
here.
Your
unfunded
liability
this
year
is
just
under
20
million
next
year
is
supposed
to
drop
to
a
little
less
than
19.
Instead,
it's
going
to
go
up
to
almost
30.,
so
it's
going
to
go
up
by
almost
11
million
by
prop
you
know
by
pretty
much
50
percent,
so
your
funded
percentage,
instead
of
being
80,
is
going
to
drop
down
to
70..
W
So
what
can
you
do
about
it
pretty
much
what
it
comes
down
to?
Let's
take
a
look
at
what
you've
done
in
the
past.
One
of
the
things
you
did
in
the
past
is
you
issued
bonds
and
you
use
the
proceeds
of
those
bonds.
So
in
2015
you
issued
bonds
and
used
the
proceed
of
those
bonds
to
pay
off
a
portion
of
the
city's
unfunded
liability,
so
without
those
Bonds
in
there
you'd
be
in
slightly
worse
shape
than
you
are
right.
W
W
You
also,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
have
employee
cost
sharing
agreements
in
place,
so
the
employees
are
making
additional
contributions
which
differ
by
bargaining
group
and
they
range
anywhere
from
zero
to
three
percent,
depending
on
when
the
person
was
hired
and
which
bargaining
group
they're
in
so
you're
having
the
employees
share
some
of
the
pain
that
the
city
is
going
through
throughout
this.
So
these
are
some
of
the
some
good
steps
that
you've
taken
in
the
past
to
help
manage
the
cost
and
help
you
get
to
where
you
are
right
now
moving
forward.
W
Basically,
unfortunately,
the
answer
comes
down
to
in
a
variety
of
different
ways:
more
money,
finding
more
money
when
you
can
and
allocating
that-
and
you
have
options
as
to
where
you
put
it-
you
could
put
it
pay
it
directly
to
Calpers
and
that
would
immediately
lower
your
unfunded
liability,
lower
future
contributions.
W
Now,
because
you
know
the
contribution
rates
are
going
up
in
future
years
or
you
can
make
contributions
into
a
section
115
Trust,
section,
115
Trust
is
something
a
place
where
you
put
money
in
the
money
from
there
has
to
go
to
Calpers,
but
you
can
decide
when
you
do
it
and
because
it's
not
an
internal
Reserve,
you
have
the
flexibility
of
investing
in
things
other
than
high
quality,
short-term
government
securities,
although
the
last
few
months
that's
been
the
best
place
to
be,
but
once
the
FED
stops,
raising
interest
rates
and
Banks
stop
failing
and
interest
rate
stabilize,
you
probably
have
a
chance
to
make
more
money
instead
of
making.
W
You
know.
What's
now
about
three
percent
from
your
internal
reserves,
you
can
probably
make
five
or
six
relatively
safely
in
a
section,
115
trust
and
that
extra
money
could
help
you
lower
costs
over
the
long
term.
You've
already
issued
pension
obligation
bonds.
Now
is
not
a
good
time
to
do
it.
The
time
to
do
it
generally
is
when
interest
rates
are
low
and
the
markets
are
going
to
do
well.
W
W
You
can
do
some
combination
of
these
things
as
you
do
that
you
know,
I've
been
focusing
on
the
pensions,
you
all
have
a
lot
of
other
things
and
I've
listened
to
just
some
of
them
during
your
meeting
so
far
going
on,
and
you
need
to
take
it
all
into
account.
So,
as
your
budgeting
process
happens
later
this
year,
this
is
something
to
think
about
and
to
give
guidance
to
your
staff
to
be
able
to
bring
Direction
back
to
you,
and
that
is
the
end
of
my
prepared
statements.
A
No
I
I,
don't
know
it's
the
forecast
of
laundry
so
but
yes,
as
you
said,
I'm
going
to
speak,
but
the
numbers
will
speak
for
themselves.
I
think
all
of
us
hung
our
heads
a
little
bit.
Okay,
well
I'm,
going
to
open
it
up
to
the
council
for
questions.
So
does
anybody
have
any
direct
questions
on
the
information
that
we
just
received
before
we
kind
of
turn
it
into
a
little
discussion,
because
I
know
director
Miller
here
might
want
some
direction
for
us
to
have
a
future
item.
W
Okay,
a
a
section
115
trust,
that's
under
Section
115
of
the
Internal
Revenue
code.
It's
basically
a
place,
any
money
that
you
keep
in
your
general
fund.
California
law
specifies
that
that
money
can
only
be
invested
in
very,
very
safe,
short-term
government
securities,
so
you're
earning
very
little
money
on
it.
A
section
115
Trust
is
a
way
to
get
around
that
rule.
To
allow
you
to
invest,
and
there
are,
there
are
a
few
different
places.
W
It's
basically
like
a
bank
account
being
held
for
the
sole
purpose
of
making
future
contributions
towards
your
pension
and
paying
off
Calpers,
but
it
allows
you
to
have
flexibility
as
to
when
you
move
the
money
over
and
gives
you
so
you
can
either
use
it
to
again
prepare
for
a
rainy
day.
Stick
extra
money
in
when
you
have
a
slight
Surplus
budget
surplus.
W
If
things
are
going
well
put
money
aside
now
to
help
you
with
future
contributions,
two
three
four
years
from
now
or
you
can
use
it
as
a
place
to
make
contributions
and
help
you
get
to
100
funding
faster
by
by
going
that
way,
and
because
it
is
basically
a
separate
entity.
You
have
the
ability
to
invest
that
money,
I
wouldn't
recommend
doing
it
too
aggressively,
but
conservatively
and
still
earn
more
than
you
can
from
the
short
term
bond
obligation,
short-term
debt.
You
do
in
your
general
fund
who.
M
Managed
who
would
manage
that
115
trust
there.
W
There
are
no,
the
there
are.
A
number
of
of
providers
throughout
the
state.
W
Calpers
runs
runs
one
because
they
call
sept,
which
I
don't
remember
what
stands
for
ceppt
pars
a
private
company
was
one
of
the
first
to
set
these
up,
and
probably
the
cow
person
pars
the
two
biggest
players
throughout
the
state
of
California,
but
there
are
also
others
Keenan
pfm
who
do
this
and
have,
and
basically
have
investment
advisors
of
their
own,
whether
it's
Vanguard
or
U.S
bank
or
others,
to
help
advise
them
to
make
sure
that
their
Investments
are
safe
and
you
know
consistently
getting
solid
returns.
W
But
if
you
decide
to
go
in
that
direction,
you
know
we
can
guide
your
staff
to.
You
know
who
to
talk
to
as
to
who
are
the
major
providers
throughout
the
state
of
California,
and
then
you,
you
can
take
a
look
at
what
their
historical
returns
have
been
and
what
the
options
they
have
to
to
give
you
different
flexibility
in
their
your
Investments.
W
They're,
similar
to
what
you
did
in
2015,
you
issued
by
basically
you
issue
a
bond,
your
pension.
Your
unfunded
liability
is
a
is
a
debt
to
the
city,
so
you're,
basically
issuing
a
bond
and
what
you're
effectively
doing
Calpers
they're
using
a
6.8
discount
rate,
so
they're
effectively
charging
you
6.8
interest
every
year.
W
So
if
you
can
go
out
when
interest
rates
are
low,
like
they
were
in
2020
some
cities
across
California
issued
bonds
at
about
a
two
and
a
half
percent
rate,
they
then
took
that
money
gave
it
to
use,
use
the
proceeds.
The
bonds,
the
ish
to
pay
Calpers
Calpers
then
invested
them.
If
they
put
it
in
in
2020,
they
got
the
23
return
in
2021
before
the
bad
return.
W
C
C
So
it's
a
mix,
you
know
I
mean
I,
think
we
well,
we
tried
to
capture
in
2015
was
exactly
what
gov
invest
is
describing,
which
was
we
had
at
the
time.
Purse
was
requiring
a
portion
of
our
unfunded
liability
to
pay
be
paid
off
very
quickly
over
about
a
five-year
period,
and
it
was
going
to
spike
our
rates
for
five
years
and
bring
them
back
down.
C
So
what
we
did
was
we
borrowed
a
lower
interest
rate
and
we
spread
that
payment
over
I
believe
20
years,
so
that
we
just
didn't
have
that
huge
Spike.
We
would
have
been
looking
at
pretty
significant
layoffs
just
to
make
those
payments,
so
there
was
kind
of
a
double
benefit
to
us
in
being
able
to
smooth
out
that
Spike
and,
at
the
same
time
be
able
to
pay
it
off
at
a
slightly
lower
interest
rate.
I
So
this
is
probably
more
for
staff
than
for
Mr
summer,
but
I
mean
have
we
been
preemptive
about
this?
Do
we
already
start
to
have
some
money
put
aside.
U
I
And
then,
as
far
as
differing
contributions,
so
I
mean
if
we
already
went
through
bargaining
with
our
staff,
we
probably
can't
bring
that
back
to
the
table
for
seven
several
more
years
as
far
as
like
upping
contributions
or
whatnot.
Since
we've
pretty
much
just
redid
bargaining.
C
You
can
always
bring
things
back
to
the
table.
There
are
some
State
caps
on
pepra
contributions
and
so
you'll
see
those
lower
and
obviously
you'll
see
those
costs.
Lower
I
mean
ultimately
you're
going
to
have
very
few
classic
employees
left.
So
it's
maybe
not
going
to
be
the
most
significant
item
for
you
at
the
bargaining
table,
but
it's
certainly
something
we
can
always
look
at
sure.
I
E
Well,
I
didn't
I,
don't
I
mean
I'll
turn
it
back
to
council
member
Matthews
about
vice
mayor
Matthews
I,
don't
have
any
specific
questions
for
for
Ira
I'm
I
I
got
what
he
was
saying,
all
the
wonderfully
depressing
news
and
I'm
more
interested
in
moving
forward
with
with
Tabitha
to
talk
about
possible
solutions.
So
I
mean
you
know,
I
just
don't
have
any
questions.
I
Yeah
and
that's
I
mean
that's
great
I'm,
looking
forward
to
hearing
what
Tabitha
has
for
us,
but
so,
if
I
am
to
understand
the
more
positions
we
fill
the
better
off,
you
know
we
are.
U
The
pepper
positions
are
good,
but
it's
all
it
does.
When
you're
filling
positions,
all
it
does
is
spread
the
cost
over
more
people,
and
if
you
have
more
pepper
people
than
the
cost
per
person
is
less,
but
it
doesn't
necessarily
drop
your
cost.
It
is
good
in
the
big
system,
because
one
of
the
challenges
that
Calpers
has
gone
through,
probably
in
the
last
20
years.
At
the
same
time,
we
had
those
that
volatility
start
in
the
interest
rates.
U
I
Right,
well,
that
makes
total
sense,
so
I
think
that
you
know
moving
forward
I
like
some
of
the
ideas
I,
like
you
know,
setting
some
money
aside.
I,
like
you
know,
maybe
exploring
this
115
trust,
but
I'm
really
interested
and
in
into
what
you
have
to
say,
and
so
I
would
just
recommend
that
we
ask
for
what
you're
recommending.
U
A
funding
policy
is
probably
a
first
step
and
there's
lots
of
of
options
there
you
can
take
anytime,
you
have
sort
of
an
excess
and
a
in
a
given
operating
year.
You
can
take
50
of
it
and
either
put
it
into
a
trust
or
pay
it
directly
down.
We
can
look
at
obviously,
pension
bonds
are
not
a
great
idea
right
now,
but
certainly
making
sure
that
those
are
in
the
plan
at
some
point.
If
interest
rates
do
come
down
and
it
does
make
sense
to
to
take
those
on.
You
know
you
said
it
earlier.
U
You
know
making
sure
that
we
are
maximizing
potentially
what
the
employees
are
contributing
to
the
program
and
just
start
figuring
out
ways
to
even
kind
of
move.
Some
of
the
the
cost
of
your
the
other
thing
that
they're
talking
about
is
when
you're
looking
at
funding
Capital,
you
know,
maybe
you
take
that
cash
and
invest
it
in
bonds,
as
opposed
to
you
know
paying
cash
for
an
item
and-
and
those
are
the
other
things
that
we
can
look
at
as
far
as
a
long
term.
U
So
everything
everything
kind
of
has
an
everything
comes
together
and
then
you
sort
of
go
with
the
way
the
markets
go,
because
everything
has
to
have
a
contingency
plan,
as
Ira
said,
because
we
do
not
know
kind
of
how
rates
or
returns
are
going
to
fall
out
in
the
next
even
the
next
year,
let
alone
the
next
five
years.
It's
it's
not
anywhere
near
as
predictable
as
it
was
in
the
1980s
and
90s.
I
A
Okay-
and
we
can
tell
Meredith-
is
the
one
that
loves
budgets,
but
no
I
I
totally
wholeheartedly
agree
that
you
know
to
bring
these
options
back
to
us
because
it
obviously
it
looks
like
yeah.
It's
almost.
A
It's
got
to
get
acted
on
soon,
so
any
other
questions
from
this
side
of
the
diocese
before
we
open
it
up
for
public
comment.
All
right.
Let's
open
this
item
up
for
public
comment,
you
will
have
three
minutes
to
talk
about
the
pension
update.
If
anybody
would
like
to
comment
in
person.
R
W
Right
right
now,
at
the
last
report
it
was
about
20
million,
but
in
June,
when
the
June
30
2022
report
comes
out,
we
expect
it
to
be
about
30
million
dollars.
Yes,.
R
Okay,
so
I
mean
I
saw
that
other
number,
so
I
was
pretty
shocked
at
that
I
had
no
idea
that
we
had
a
deficit
like
that,
because
I
guess
in
the
past
sort
of
when
we've
talked
about
money,
it
was
always
sort
of
in
a
Rosy
way
that
we
had
like
four
million
in
our
general
funds,
and
things
like
that.
So
I'm
just
wondering
how
that's
going
to
get
paid.
You
know.
R
So
that
would
be
a
basic
question
and
also
since
in
the
package
too,
it
sort
of
showed
salary
ranges
for
our
leaders
in
mid
and
mid
managers
to
so
it
and
also
didn't
really
say
how
much
the
total
compensation
for
those
individuals,
so
it
wasn't
very
transparent,
I
mean
for
the
city,
man,
manager,
I,
think
the
top
step
was
like
a
hundred
and
sixty
five
thousand.
If
I
remember
right
and
then
it
didn't
have
a
total
compensation.
So
I
looked
that
up
on
the
internet
and
I.
R
Don't
know
whether
this
figure
is
accurate,
but
the
total
compensation
was
like
250,
000
or
more
so
I'm
kind
of
surprised
by
you
know
these
numbers
and
our
deficit
and
how
it's
all
going
to
work
out
and
then
you
know
other
things
come
up
too
from
the
standpoint
of
other
liabilities
that
are
kind
of
shockers,
where
you
know
we
get
sued
and
I
remember
in
the
last
year,
kind
of
a
bloody
picture
of
an
individual
that
was
I
didn't
know
who
it
was,
but
it
was
accused
killer
of
of
Josh
and
and
that
that
payment
was
from
a
San.
R
Fortunately,
a
judge
through
overturned
that,
but
and
also
in
that
in
that
article
I
didn't
know
that
his
parents
were
awarded
250
000
from
the
city,
so
I
just
bring
all
this
stuff
up,
because
there's
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
money
and
I,
don't
know
I,
don't
know
how
it's
all
getting
paid
and
it
doesn't
seem
like
it's
being
very
transparent
to
the
you
know
the
public
about
what's
going
on,
and
you
know
there's
very
few
of
us
that
ever
show
up,
and
so
this
hasn't
never
been
really
on
my
my
radar
as
far
as
the
finances
I'm.
R
Not
that's
not
my
major
but
I
wonder
whether
we
have
anybody
in
in
the
city
that
has
mbas
or
you
know,
either
she
was
just
hired
right,
but
I'm
just
talking
this
rep.
This
represents
the
past.
So
this
has
been
going
on
a
long
time.
So
yeah
I
have
questions
thanks.
A
All
right
any
other
in-person
public
comment
before
we
move
to
zoom.
We
will
not
be
going
back
and
forth
all
right.
Take
it
to
zoom
comments
on
Calpers
all.
S
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
the
prior
speakers
questions.
The
good
news
is
you
have
a
secret
weapon
here
and
the
county
doesn't
that
you
have
a
Tabitha
and
that's,
and
it
puts
you
in
a
very
far
superior
position
to
the
county
and
congratulations
again
on
achieving
that
secret
weapon.
S
For
those
of
you
who
track
finances
and
kind
of
understand
the
process.
I
think
a
relevant
question
would
be
with
what's
going
on
and
the
perception
of
many
people
that
I
deal
with
people
on
National,
International,
Beyond,
just
local
business
projections.
Is
that
what
would
happen
if
if
the
stock
market
were
to
drop
by
30
percent
and
how?
How
is
inflation
calculated
into
this?
And
how
is
it
affected?
And
it
may
be
something
that's
beyond
the
scope
of
a
short
communication
or
question
answering
at
this
time.
S
These
are
all
questions.
I
think
you
should
find
relevant
any
trigger
could
trigger
it.
We
could
see
possibly
being
triggered
by
bank
failures,
possibly
being
triggered
by
housing
collapse.
S
Any
of
these
things
will
put
you
back
in
that
2008
position
where
you
saw
this
thing
drop
and
it's
kind
of
a
cycle,
and
we
probably
if
you
look
at
the
trend,
it
is
trending
in
that
direction,
and
many
of
us
feel
beheaded
that
way
hate
to
be
so
doom
and
gloomish,
but
it
will
be
a
tough
time
for
everybody
sitting
in
your
chairs.
S
As
far
as
we
can
tell
and
I
started
speaking
a
little
earlier
about
how
a
lot
of
things
that
people
felt
were
coming
to
fruition
positive
for
Humboldt
County
may
not
necessarily
be
in
the
work
so
strongly
caution.
You
and
your
future
things
regarding
this
and
your
budgeting
to
be
as
conservative
as
you
can
and
if
Tabitha
says
this
is
the
most
conservative
pathway
you
can
take
I
highly
recommend
you
take
it
so
I.
Thank
you
for
my
opportunity
to
speak
on
this
again.
S
K
Evening
nice
to
hear
this,
this
was
very
helpful
to
me.
I'm
sorry,
I
didn't
get
the
very
beginning
of
it,
but
I
would
like
to
suggest
that
perhaps
it's
worth
having
a
major
study
session
with
the
council
about
to
basically
educate
everybody
about
these
various
Investments
investment
products
and
how
to
calculate
risk
and
what
to
do
in
the
face
risk.
K
I
think
you
really
need
a
lot
of
numbers.
You
need
to
be
able
to
go
through
them
and
understand
them,
and
if
those
of
you
haven't
taken
economics
or
budgeting
or
don't
have
any
background
in
this,
you
need
to
get
educated.
So
you
can
make
good
good
decisions
financially.
I
would
also
like
to
comment
that,
for
example,
you
can
invest
as
of
last
Friday.
In
any
event,
I
don't
know
if
it's
today,
but
you
can
get
bonds
at
4.55
percent
for
19
months
at
U.S
Bank.
K
So
you
really
need
to
look
around
and
see
if
you
set
up
a
trust
where
you
could
make
a
bunch
of
money
in
the
short
run.
With
this
money
you
set
aside,
so
somebody
should
be
busily
looking
at
where
they
can
invest
right.
Now.
The
funds
that
you
might
have
in
excess-
assuming
you
do
so
anyway-
good
luck
with
this-
it's
if,
if
you're
not
familiar
with
budgeting
and
all
and
economics
and
all
the
forecasting
Etc
I,
would
recommend
you
take
time
to
do
study
sessions
on
this
or
get
educated
this.
K
This
is
a
great
presentation,
but
it's
really
important
that
you
all
understand
what
the
possibilities
are
and
not
simply
rely
on
one
outside
one
inside
or
outside
person
that
you
all
need
to
understand
the
implications
of
your
decisions.
Thank
you
very
much.
Good
luck!
This
is
a
biggie.
A
Okay,
thank
you,
Jane.
Any
other
online
comments,
All
right.
So
that
brings
us
to
the
end
of
public
comment
here.
Do
we
need
any
sort
of
motion,
or
did
we
get
I?
It
seems
we
kind
of
had
consensus
direction
that
we
would
like
to.
You
know
come
come
back
with
an
agenda
item
and
see
some
of
these
options
and
and
as
we
go
through
budget
season,
all.
A
And
do
we
have
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
the
council
before
we
move
on
all
right,
I
think
we're
gonna
take
a
quick
five
minute
break
before
we
dive
into
mid-year
budget
review
more
numbers,
all
right,
we'll
be
back
in
five.
A
Okay,
we're
back
folks
just
a
quick
aside,
council
member
Atkins
Salazar
was
not
feeling
well,
so
she
is
not
going
to
be
here
the
rest
of
our
meeting.
A
She
has
headed
home
to
rest,
so
we
wish
her
the
best
all
right,
so
that
takes
us
to
Item
B
nope
item
C,
which
is
our
mid-year
budget,
update,
so
consider
adopting
resolution,
number
223-44
resolution
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
Arcata
to
accept
the
mid-year
budget
review
and
approve
Associated
budget
revisions
for
the
fiscal
year
22-23,
and
so
may
we
have
a
staff
report.
U
Good
evening,
mayor
city,
council,
again
Tabitha
Miller
Finance
director
before
we
get
started
on
this
I
am
happy
to
answer
questions.
You
have
specifically
about
the
budget
as
we
go
through
it.
I
am
going
to
tell
you
I've
been
with
the
city
for
six
and
a
half
weeks,
so
I
may
have
to
come
back
to
you
with
answers.
U
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
lay
that
out
ahead
of
time,
we're
really
looking
at
five
objectives
tonight
and
they
were
all
sort
of
in
the
header
that
you
read
off,
but
getting
an
update
on
the
mid-year
budget
receiving
those
recommendations
and
those
are
coming
forward
to
you
in
the
resolution.
Two
two
three
four
four
and
those
are
just
some
minor
changes
for
an
unanticipated
expenditures
and
new
projects,
we'd
like
to
start
looking
at
previewing.
U
This
is
just
some
of
the
larger
items
as
far
as,
what's
included
in
that
resolution,
we're
asking
you
to
review
and
possibly
approve.
Tonight
we
have
set
aside
thirty
thousand
dollars
for
an
extreme
weather,
Sheltering
I
know
most
of
the
council,
if
not
all
of
you
were
involved
in
setting
this
up
over
the
last
the
last
month
or
so
when
we
had
bad
weather
and
that
pays
for
it.
U
We've
put
aside
30
000
for
the
David
Joshua
Lawson
mural,
we're
also
asking
this
is
a
little
bit
of
a
unique
item
on
the
third
one,
the
355
000.
So
we
can
pre-order
a
street
sweeper.
This
is
because
it
takes
12
to
18
months
to
get
a
specialized
vehicle
and
in
order
to
enter
into
that
contract
and
set
up
the
PO,
we
need
to
have
the
money
set
aside
and
available,
although
it
is
probably
not
going
to
be
paid
until
fiscal
year
2425.
So
that
is
one
of
our
asks.
U
The
fourth
item,
the
hundred
and
ninety
five
thousand
dollars
in
total
Grant
expenditures
for
the
Carlson
Park
and
river
access.
This
is
actually
a
positive
there's,
an
offsetting
Grant,
that's
associated
with
this.
We
also
are
going
to
try
to
backfill
185
000
deficit.
That's
existing
in
your
internal
service
information,
Technologies
fund.
U
This
is
just
kind
of
truing
that
up
and
making
sure
that
we're
putting
it
in
the
positive
and
then
we've
also
seen
city-wide
100
about
193
dollars,
we're
asking
for
for
increases
in
utility
expenditures-
and
this
is
a
combination
of
taking
over
the
city
actually
paying
full
cost
on
your
water
and
your
water
and
wastewater
charges.
But
we
have
also
seen
a
pretty
significant
increase
in
natural
gas
and
electric
and
that's
kind
of
obvious
in
the
last
couple
months.
U
So
this
is
a
big
picture.
This
is
all
your
funds
and
there's
a
few
items
here:
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
all
the
numbers,
but
I
wanted
to
kind
of
give
the
council
a
big
picture
view
and
there's
also
there's
there's
about
three
numbers
in
the
the
presentation
tonight
that,
even
if
you
are
not
a
budget
person,
it's
really
good
to
know.
You
can
impress
your
friends
when
you
go
to
conferences
and
talk
to
other
city
council
members
that
you
know
your
budget
and
the
first
one
I
would
tell
you.
U
Is
this
number
right
here,
your
total
expenditures?
This
is
city-wide
all
of
your
funds,
it's
about
79
million
dollars
and
that's
that's
kind
of
just
a
good
number
to
have
and
we'll
talk
about
this
a
little
bit
in
more
detail
in
a
minute.
Your
revenues
are
65
million,
and
you
can
see
it's
pretty
obvious
oops
that
you
have
a
13
million
dollar
shortfall
and
I
I
want
to
stress
here
that
I'm
not
too
worried
about
that
and
there's
a
number
of
reasons.
U
The
first
one
is,
if
you
look
at
your
top-
and
these
are
in
order
of
the
largest
revenue
and
the
largest
expenditure
base,
that
you
have
you'll
notice-
that
intergovernmental
revenues
is
your
largest
source
and
capital.
Outlay
is
also
your
largest
expense,
and
that
is
very
abnormal.
Those
are
extraordinarily
high,
but
it
it's
a
reflection
on
the
large
amount
of
grants
that
you've
received
this
year
and
includes
the
money
for
your
wastewater
treatment
plant
some
of
your
water
infrastructure.
It's
the
almost
10
million
dollars
for
project
home
key.
U
We
have
actually
received
it.
We
have
it
in
the
bank,
but
we
haven't
recognized
it
as
Revenue,
so
it's
it's
not
going
to
be
there
until
that
happens,
but
you
do
have
the
money
in
the
bank.
You
are
also
in
your
water
fund.
You've
got
I
believe
it's
about
5.7
million
dollars
in
capital
funding
for
infrastructure
and
about
half
of
that
is
actually
being
pulled
from
your
your
fund
reserves
which
are
built
up
specifically
for
that
purpose,
and
then
that
0.4
is
actually
that
Capital
project
encumbrance.
U
It's
the
sweet
sweeper
that
we
were
talking
about
before
that
the
money
needs
to
be
budgeted
but
will
not
likely
be
spent
until
the
last
next
year
or
the
year
after
really
quickly
fun
definitions,
and
these
are
just
terms
that
we'll
use
not
only
tonight
but
going
forward
and
and
I
think
it's
kind
of
good
to
make
sure
that
we're
all
on
the
same
page,
a
fund
is
a
basic
independent
budgeting
and
accounting
entity.
I
typically
relate
this
to.
U
U
Your
general
fund
is
the
fund.
We
usually
talk
most
about,
and
it's
typically
the
one
with
the
most
expenditures
and
that's
because
it
accounts
for
all
of
the
resources
that
are
not
legally
required
to
be
held
elsewhere,
and
so
it's
going
to
be
most
your
general
revenues.
It's
your
tax
revenues,
property
tax
sales,
tax,
those
sorts
of
things,
but
it
also
includes
your
general
operations,
your
Public
Safety
and
those
things.
U
So
it
has
the
most
flexibility
as
far
as
spending,
but
it
also
has
the
most
limits
on
it
because,
because
it
is
available
for
other
items,
your
special
Revenue
funds
are
legally
restricted
revenues.
These
are
typically
restricted
for
restricted
for
a
specific
purpose.
Grants
are
a
good
example
and
then
special
revenues
where
they've
been
specifically
designated
for
a
particular
person,
need
to
be
purpose
and
need
to
be
set
aside.
For
that.
Your
Enterprise
funds,
Water
and
Wastewater,
are
two
great
examples.
U
I'll
go
ahead
and
sorry
about
it,
so
your
Enterprise
funds
are
funded
with
user
fees
and
charges.
Water
Wastewater
are
your
your
two
great
examples
and
typically
they're
treated
a
little
bit
more
like
a
business
and
so
their
accountings
a
little
bit
differently
and
then
in
your
internal
service,
funds
are
used
to
account
for
services
and
materials
that
are
actually
funding.
Your
inner
departments
and
two
good
examples
in
the
city
are
your
Information
Systems
Technology
and
your
Central
Garage,
which
is
your
Fleet
of
vehicles.
U
The
second
number
that
I'd
probably
want
you
to
kind
of
pay
attention
to
and
I
think
is
really
helpful.
To
put
you
in
context
of
other
organizations,
is
your
general
fund
expenditures
and
if
you
just
round
that
off
to
18.5
million
dollars,
it's
a
number
that
you
can
compare
yourself
to
other
entities.
It
gives
you
a
lot
of
ability
to
sort
of
size
yourself
up
when
you're
coming
when
you're
looking
at
other
entities,
you
will
see
that
you
do
have
a
you've
got
about
a
million
dollars
in
rep.
U
In
expenditures
over
revenues
and
again
I'm
not
too
worried
about
that,
much
of
that
is
funding
for
other
funds.
It
is
includes
a
portion
of
that
Suites.
Excuse
me
street
sweeper.
It
also
has
some
Grant
funds
in
it.
The
other
side
of
that
is
and
again
the
these.
These
balances
that
you've
set
aside
for
fund
balances
are
good
and
strong.
They
don't
look
so
good
when
you
compare
them
to
a
29.6
million
dollar
liability
for
pension,
but
they
are
strong
and
you
should
be
proud
of
them
and
they
do
give
you
some
resiliency
moving
forward.
U
The
middle
number,
the
estimated
unreserved
fund
balance
as
of
6
30
2022.
This
6.75
million
dollars
is
the
number
from
the
beginning
of
fiscal
year.
2122
and
the
reason
for
that
is
we
haven't
closed
the
books
and
I
didn't
want
to
estimate
and
put
out
a
bad
number
looking
at,
where
we're
at
to
date,
I
believe
that
that
number
will
increase
and
you
will
have
additional
resources
there.
So
this
is
a
fairly
conservative
approach.
In
addition
to
that,
you
also
have
reserves
for
contingencies
and
emergencies,
and
that's
about
5.7
million.
U
Excuse
me:
4.8
million
dollars
between
the
two.
You
have
a
fund
balance
of
of
about
58
percent
of
your
total
expenditures
and,
to
put
that
into
perspective,
there
are
many
governments
that
are
striving
to
get
to
20
and
I've
seen
those
that
10
or
15
percent
is
not
abnormal
by
any
means,
your
policy
is
a
minimum
minimum
of
25,
so
you're
in
in
pretty
good
shape.
But
again
that
may
be
something
that
we
look
at
as
far
as
pension
funding
going
forward.
U
This
is
a
report
on
32
of
your
individual
special
Revenue
funds,
and
your
special
Revenue
funds
can
be
some
of
them
only
have
a
few
dollars
in
them,
and
some
of
them
have
millions.
It
includes
your
streets
and
gas
taxes
that
are
set
aside,
specifically
for
Road
and
Street
Maintenance.
Many
of
your
Grant
funds,
your
Forest
fund,
arpa
home
key
funding,
those
sorts
of
things-
and
you
can
see
again,
your
revenues
are
going
to
be
are
far
exceed-
are
far
less
than
what
you're
going
to
be
spending
this
year.
U
But
it's
because
you're,
starting
out
with
a
nearly
21
million
dollar
fund
balance
and
again
that's
money.
We've
received
in
many
cases
when
it
comes
to
Grants.
We
have
a
basically
a
mandate
or
a
requirement
that
we
spend
them
so
spending
down
fund
balances
in
your
special
Revenue
funds
is
usually
not
a
bad
thing.
In
fact,
it's
a
pretty
good
thing
because
you
don't
want
to
have
to
give
the
money
back
because
you
didn't
meet
your
Grant
requirements,
you're.
U
Looking
at
about
a
9.6
million
dollars
at
the
end
of
the
year,
your
water
Enterprise
fund
and
I
think
it
was
interesting
that
Mr
couch
talked
a
lot
about
how
we
are
going
to
continue
to
spend
reserves
on
infrastructure,
and
that
really
is
part
of
the
reason
that
you
have
built
up
the
numbers
you
have
you'll
also
see
that
you
are
spending
more
in
this
fund
on
Capital
this
year.
If
we
spend
it
all,
then
you
are
on
operations.
U
U
U
So,
amazingly,
when
I
looked
out
the
value
of
what
you
had
on
the
books
for
your
water
fund,
the
the
assets
that
we
currently
are
carrying
in
our
financial
statements
have
a
value
of
of
7.7
million
dollars
before
we
apply
accumulated
depreciation,
which,
if
you
apply
the
cumulated
depreciation,
the
value
becomes
pretty
minimal,
but
replacing
that
7.7
million
dollars
is
probably
a
factor
of
10
or
15
times
the
the
original
cost.
U
So
building
up
those
contingency
reserves
really
should
be
a
priority
for
us,
in
addition,
of
course,
to
the
pension
obligations
and
those
sorts
of
things,
your
Wastewater
fund
again
another
one
where
you've
got
three
quarters
of
your
budget
being
spent
on
Capital,
which
is,
is
amazing
and
awesome.
Most
almost
all
of
that
is
being
Grant
funded,
which
is
also
wonderful
talking
about
those
Capital
expenditures.
U
You
know
we
can
see
that
you've
got
285
percent
reserves
and
that's
your
your
available
reserves,
not
even
your
your
Capital,
but
when
you
start
talking
about
in
it,
you
start
talking
about
a
value
of
21
point
or
excuse
me:
29.1
million
dollars
is
your
value
of
assets
currently,
and
you
talk
about
that
10
or
15.
You
know
times
over
to
to
restore
it.
U
We
will
need
those
funds
that
is
just
kind
of
the
way
it
is
and
and
I
would
encourage
us
to
continue
to
sort
of
set
aside
in
that
Capital
contingency
those
funds.
For
that
future
work.
It
will
really,
you
know,
Shore
up
the
utility
in
the
long
term,
keeping
in
mind
again
that
we've
got
some
pretty
significant
changes
coming
in
the
next
three
years.
You've
got
phase
one
of
your
Wastewater
Treatment
review
and
that's
62
million
dollars,
and
then
you've
got
the
the
second
phase
after
that.
U
The
other
thing
that
has
happened
this
year-
that
I
think
should
be
noted
is
that
your
budget
and
where
we're
projecting
you
to
be
for
revenue,
is
1.1
million
dollars
more
than
anticipated,
and
that's
that
has
a
lot
to
do
with
the
fact
that
you
took
the
proactive
step
of
increasing
those
rates.
So
you
could
build
up
those
reserves,
so
you
know
that's
a
lot
of
the
reason
for
that
increase
is
just
kind
of
watching
out
for
the
fund
as
you
go
forward.
U
So
when
I
originally
started
putting
this
report
together
last
week,
I
put
the
question
mark
at
the
end
of
whether
or
not
we
need
to
be
looking
at
or
preparing
for
a
recession.
I
almost
took
it
off
today
and
then
I
decided
not
to
just
because
of
what
it
you
know.
In
a
week,
things
have
gotten
crazy:
the
markets,
the
banks,
people,
are
in
a
panic.
What
I
would
say
is
that
you
have
contingencies
in
place.
We
have
some
pretty
significant
challenges
coming
forward.
U
You
know-
and
we've
talked
about
some
of
those
tonight
but
I
think
that
we
just
need
to
sort
of
plan
for
it,
but
not
necessarily
go
overboard.
One
of
the
things
if
we've
and
I
and
I
don't
know
how
much
information
you've
gotten
on
the
County
sales
tax.
But
something
else
that
has
happened
is
if
you
look
over
the
net
with
the
last
three
quarters.
U
If
you
go
back
to
basically
March
through
or
excuse
me
April
through
June
of
2020
to
County
sales,
tax
has
been
down
pretty
significantly
and
it's
really
bad
in
the
unincorporated
areas.
This
happens
to
be
just
a
snapshot
at
that
top.
It
was
14.4
below
the
prior
year
quarter
for
the
third
quarter,
which
is
July
through
September,
the
county-wide,
which
is
collected.
U
It's
the
Bradley
Burns
tax,
that's
collected,
the
one
percent
that's
collected
by
the
state
all
across
the
state,
was
only
down
6.9
percent,
but
that's
because
you're,
taking
into
account
your
cities
and
not
just
the
unincorporated
area
Arcata
for
that
same
period
of
time,
was
down
5.7
percent
and,
as
you
saw
in
the
staff
report,
we
are
looking.
U
We
are
seeing
that
your
sales
tax
numbers,
both
your
Tut
and
your
Bradley
Burns,
one
percent-
are
going
to
be
slightly
below
budget
and
they
are
going
to
be
a
little
bit
below
last
year
and
that's
probably
a
trend
that
we
we
will
look
at
carrying
forward
into
the
next
fiscal
year.
Again,
I'd
rather
be
conservative
there
than
than
overextend.
U
The
the
challenge
here
is
that
that
that
Trend,
that's
happening
in
Humboldt
County
doesn't
seem
to
be
happening
in
the
rest
of
the
state.
The
other
I
think
it's
13
counties
that
are
reported
in
the
north
part
of
California.
Their
average
is
up
0.9
percent
and
that's
varies
from
Humboldt
County
at
the
bottom,
at
a
negative,
6.9
all
the
way
up
to
to
I
believe
it's
Lassen,
no
Del
Norte
County.
U
That
was
up
13.5
percent,
so
they're
not
seeing
the
same
Trend
that
we
are
seeing
and
I
think
you
know,
there's
certainly
some
assumptions
when
you
look
at
the
details
that
that
has
a
lot
to
do
with
the
Cannabis
industry
collapse
and
California's
up
eight
percent
across
the
board,
so
they
have
not
certainly
have
not
seen
any
impacts.
Yet
like
we
are
seeing
here,
I
do
make
the
statement
here
that
I
think
we
could
probably
say
that
Humboldt
County
probably
is
already
in
a
recession
based
on
those
numbers.
U
You
have
to
have
two
quarters
in
a
row
where
you've
had
negative
GDP
and
we
just
don't
have
that
data
available
on
on
our
small
scale,
some
other
things
that
we
should
take
into
account
kind
of
planning
going
forward
and
not
panic
like
everybody
else
is,
but
the
interest
rate
increases
eight
in
the
last
year
have
been
pretty
significant,
we're
up
over
four
and
a
half
percent,
whether
or
not
they
raise
them
this
next.
U
This
next
meeting
is
Up
For
Debate,
but
it
does
have
impacts
on
things
like
housing
in
particular,
and
we
saw
the
the
impact
on
investments
and
for
banks
and
other
folks
and
something
I
would
say
here
that
we
should
keep
in
mind
because
it'll
it'll
be
something
that
comes
back,
that
we
address
at
a
future
time.
U
When
we
look
at
closing
the
books
for
fiscal
year
2122
when
you
start
having
interest
rates
you
one
of
the
things
that
you
have
to
do,
whether
you're
a
government
agency
or
you're
a
for
for-profit
business
or
a
public
business
is
you
have
to
you-
have
to
basically
adjust
your
your
Investments
to
market
rate
and
when
you're
you're
in
a
in
a
position
where
interest
rates
are
rising,
the
value.
U
If
you
had
to
sell
or
liquidate
your
Investments,
and
you
have
lower
interest
rate
payments
on
those
they're
going
to
drop,
and
you
have
to
recognize
that
and
that's
a
conservative
way
to
make
sure
that
you're
kind
of
addressing
what
your
liquidity
is.
You
will
see
a
little
bit
of
a
decrease
in
some
some
negative
earnings
in
the
city
when
we
bring
forward
your
financial
statements
for
next
year.
U
U
Inflation
is
actually
down.
That's
the
good
news.
It
went
from
seven
percent
in
21
to
6.5
and
22,
and
it's
now
currently
at
six
percent,
clearly
still
not
where
the
FED
wants
it
and
it
still
is
impacting
all
of
us.
You
know:
we've
got
a
lot
of
local
things.
Gas
prices
I
think
we
pay
the
highest
gas
price.
Not
only
our
gas
prices
high
in
California,
but
Humboldt
County
is
way
at
the
top
of
that.
Unemployment
is
very
low.
U
It's
kind
of
interesting
how
that's
sort
of
not
addressed
yet,
and
then
we
continue
to
be
challenged
with
our
housing
and
if
you
look
at
the
median
cost
of
homes
in
Humboldt
County,
we
are
still
in
the
top
11
percent.
For
the
nation,
just
a
few
things
and
and
again
we're
we're
not
making
any
decisions
on
the
the
future
fiscal
years,
but
things
I'd
like
you,
know
to
us
to
consider
and
we'll
be
bringing
back
to
you.
U
We
still
have
those
capital
projects
and
we'll
be
finishing
those
up
over
the
next
few
years,
we've
already
had
the
conversation
about
the
potential
to
place
a
tax
measure
on
the
ballot
in
2024
and
that's
something
else
that
we
probably
want
to
make
a
decision
sooner
rather
than
later,
because
we
want
to
start
laying
the
groundwork
and
the
education
for
that.
We've
already
talked
about
the
pension.
You
have
a
four
percent
increase
in
staff
wages
that
are
we
effective
as
at
the
new
fiscal
year
too.
So
it's
an
additional
cost.
U
We
are
anticipating
increases
in
all
of
your
insurance,
Health
liability
and
property,
and
a
lot
of
that
some
of
that's
Market,
driven
some
of
that
will
be
specific
to
the
city.
Recruitment
challenges
continue
cannabis
and
Industry
challenges
and
then
of
course,
climate
change
has
impacts
all
over
the
place
and
with
that
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions,
I
can,
if
I
can't
I
will
get
back
to
you.
J
I
just
had
a
really
I'm
brand
new.
This
is
my
very
first
round
doing
this
I'm
just
curious,
why
we
call
it
a
mid
because
yeah.
D
H
U
U
It
it
is
kind
of
a
little
bit
one
of
the
interesting
things
that
I
had
a
little
bit
of
of
extra
ability
to
look
at
the
numbers
and
project
forward,
because
I
was
looking
at
the
numbers
through
February.
Typically,
you
would
really
be
looking
at
the
numbers
through
December,
but
that
that
is
why
yeah.
I
So,
thank
you.
I
really
appreciate
your
long-range
planning
and
being
really
strategic.
I
want
to
thank
Andrea
for
getting
leaving
us
in
this
position,
but
you
know
I
think
that
I'm
afraid
that
a
goal
setting
that
we
were
really
really
specific
and
I
really
wanted
to
keep
it
very
high
level,
because
I
think
that
you
know,
with
all
of
these
things
coming
up,
that
we
really
need
to
be
targeted
about
where
we're
spending
our
money
and
make
sure
that
we
have
things
you
know
set
aside.
I
I
know,
there's
so
much
that
we
want
to
do.
But
you
know
we
have
to
keep
the
big
picture
in
mind
and
I
think
you
know
the
way
things
are
trending.
Being
conservative
is
not
like
the
worst
option.
I
So
this
is
from
Stacy
black
humble
reached
out
to
the
cities
of
Arcata
and
Eureka
for
financial
support
for
some
of
their
upcoming
activities,
I'm
wondering
if
we
might
direct
staff
to
look
into
our
arpa
outdoor
Grant
funds
or
other
funds
that
might
be
used
to
help
with
their
activities
in
Arcata,
and
so
you
know,
along
those
lines,
I'd
really
like
to
revisit
at
some
point
the
allocation
that
we
made
to
Arcata
Main
Street,
you
know,
I
took
a
look
at
the
contract
that
we
made
with
them
specifically
called
out,
gearing
you
know,
spending
some
money
towards.
I
You
know
black
Humboldt
or
queer,
humble
like
any
of
those.
So
you
know
maybe
redirecting
some
of
that,
and
also
in
that
contract
that
we
signed
with
Main
Street.
We
also
you
know
we're
supposed
to
get.
You
know
we
set
aside
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
We
were
supposed
to
get.
You
know
quarterly
budget
reviews.
We
haven't
gotten
anything
from
them.
I
I
would
really
you
know
before
we
think
of
allocating
I
mean
I
know
they
had
an
executive
director.
Now
they
don't,
but
they
have
some
great
people
that
they
hired
but
I'd.
Really
you
know
before
we,
you
know
figure
out
how
much
we're
going
to
allocate
to
them.
I
I'd
rather
I'd
really
like
to
see
a
budget
and
see
where
that
money
is
going,
I
mean
they
were
supposed
to
like
I
said
they're
supposed
to
bill
us
quarterly
October,
January
and
then
in
April
will
be
the
third
quarter,
and
we
haven't
seen
anything
from
that
and
you
know
again.
This
is
arpa
funds,
so
I
we
can
move
it
around.
So
I'd
really
like
to
look
at
that
and,
and
then
I
just
you
know,
another
goal
that
I
have
I
really
would
like
to
see.
I
You
know
what
we
can
do
to
brainstorm
to
get
more
money
into
our
general
fund.
I'm
concerned
about.
You
know
our
local
taxes
and
our
tot
we're
going
to
be.
You
know.
We've
got
three
hotels
that
we're
not
going
to
be
getting
tot
anymore,
so
we
really
really
have
to
be
strategic
about.
You
know
where
we're
going
to
beef
up
our
general
fund.
That's
all.
Thank
you.
Thank.
J
You
could
could
I
just
ask
a
quick
clarifying
question
Meredith
when
you
were
mentioning
the
outdoor
Grant
funds,
possibly
redirecting
some
of
those
towards
black
Humboldt.
I
No,
we
allocated
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
our
arpa
fund
to
Arcata
Main
Street,
but
part
of
the
contract
that
we
haven't
signed,
yet
that
we're
about
to
that
we
should
sign
with
arcade
Main
Street
was
that
some
of
their
funding
that
we
give
them
be
used
for
events
such
as
that
like
to
help
black
humble
to
help
queer
humble
to
help
the
indigenous
you
know
just
have
events.
You
know
around
that
support
that
so
I
would
like
to
see.
If
you
know
we
can
urge
them
to
allocate
some
of
that
money.
J
And
when
you
say
them,
you're
talking
about
Arcata,
Main,
Street,
okay,
sorry,
that
was
my
confusion
and
yes,
I
am
wondering
what
is
our
plan
and
I
apologize
if
I
should
know
this,
but
for
the
loss
of
tot,
because
we're
actually
talking
about
five-
that
we're
really
losing
correct
I
mean
with
the
the
two
home
key
projects,
and
what
are
we
looking
at
about?
Is
it
like?
400
000
is
going
to
be
significantly
higher
than
that.
C
It
while
the
three
when
I
just
recently
did
a
review
of
the
three
that
Cal
Poly
will
be
leasing
next
year,
that's
close
to
400
000.
So
you
know
we
had
anticipated
that
we
would.
We
would
be
down
about
80
to
100
000
with
the
home
key
projects
originally,
but
some
of
that
was
banking
on
prices
going
up
on
on
the
other
hotels,
so
we'll
be
re-calcuing
that
as
we
go
through
budget
it
you
know
and
we'll
be
making
adjustments.
Okay,.
E
C
J
So,
for
some
reason,
I
thought
that
it
was
I
want
to
say
like
189
000
for
the
two
home
key
or
for
somebody
I
thought
it
was
a
lot
more
than
what.
What
did
you
just
say?
It
was
well
should
have
wrote
it
down.
Yeah.
J
C
We
are,
they
are
working
on
ways
to
be
able
to
support
other
City
projects
that
would
offset
some
of
those
general
fund
expenditures.
Additionally,
they
will
be
opening
those
hotels
during
the
summer
months,
so
it
will
be.
You
know
at
least
nine
months,
but
it
won't
be
a
full
12
months
of
Revenue
loss.
C
We
are
doing
some
partnering
on
an
I.T
project.
We
had
a
185
000
that
was
scheduled
to
be
spent
in
the
I.T
Department
that
we
think
that
we
can
keep
in
the
I.T
Department
to
shore
up
long-term
deficit
in
there,
based
on
some
additional
support
for
projects
coming
from
Cal
Poly
thanks
and
I
just
wanted
to
also
add
on
the
Main
Street
contract.
We
have
not
received
those
quarterly
reports.
We
have
also
not
made
payments
until
and
they
have
gone
through
tremendous
transitions.
A
Yeah
and
I'll
just
add
that
I
I
yeah
agree
because
I've
received
some
passing
comments
and
letters
from
people
just
that
like
where,
where
did
that
money
go
and
I
I
know
that
you
know
they
are
now
paying
staff.
They
opted
to
go
the
route
instead
of
having
one.
You
know
big
director
to
kind
of
put
that
money
out
towards
other.
You
know
collaborating
staff,
which
I
think
is
a
great
idea
but
yeah
to
see
see
the
receipts,
as
they
say
of
you,
know.
A
M
A
J
M
So
so
this
next
year,
black
Humboldt
is
going
to
have
their
event
at
Halverson
Park.
I
C
To
an
event
recently,
I
think
what
perhaps
vice
mayor
Matthews
was
reading
from
I
did
receive
an
email
today
as
well
from
black
Humboldt,
and
they
are
looking
at
several
of
events.
One
of
them
is
at
Halverson,
one
is
at
the
Vets
Hall
and
I'm,
not
sure
if
that
was
Arcata
or
Eureka,
but
there
is
a
block
party
that
they're
looking
to
have
in
Arcata.
We
did
have
some
outdoor,
coveted
Grant
funds
and
I
do
believe.
We
do
still
have
some
funds
in
that
some
of
it.
C
I
J
I
A
And
if
there's
anything
you
know
now
is
the
time
to
you
know
if
we
like
these
changes
being
made,
we
accept
them.
If
there's
any
additional
changes
that
want
to
be
made.
I
know
Alex
had
an
item
that
she
wanted
to
bring
up
about
someone
we
connect,
perhaps
and
we'll
discuss
those.
M
So
my
feeling
is
I
I
know
that
you
have
in
the
you
had
in
the
budget,
the
re
doing
the
back
area
for
the
council
meeting
room
I,
just
think
that's
sort
of
a
waste
of
money
and
I
would
prefer
to
have
it
removed.
M
I
would
like
to
see
in
the
very
beginning
when
I
came
onto
the
council,
there
was
some
discussion
about
having
mailboxes
outside
I,
still
think
that
we
that's
not
very
expensive,
because
I
just
did
it
for
tenants
a
year
ago
that
that
would
be
a
good
way
for
us
to
have
our
mailboxes
outside.
So
we
wouldn't
have
to
come
through
and
whatever
and
I
would
like
to
have
I
suggest
that
we
removed
from
the
budget
any
funds
to
take
that
back
room
and
make
it
into
a
council
meeting
room.
That's.
A
I
I
agree
with
you
on
that
one
too,
and
we
were
able
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
it
because
I
know
that
that
idea,
kind
of
came
from
a
past
Council
and
it
kind
of
ushered
you
know
into
us
and
I
said
well,
it
sounds
that
sounds
cool
and
you
guys
seem
like
you
really
want
it
when
I
joined,
but
you
know
I
and
I
believe
Karen.
You
said
that
not
really
the
planning
really
hasn't
gone
forward.
We
haven't
really
spent
any
money
on
that.
Yet
so
it
would
be.
M
J
A
L
M
M
I
J
C
I
And
I
also
one
more
time
I'd
like
to
give
a
shout
out
to
everybody
all
the
staff
that
has
applied
for
all
these
grants.
I
mean
just
looking
at
those
reports
and
seeing
how
much
money
is
how
many
things
are
Grant
funded.
That
is
spectacular,
so
I
really
appreciate
that.
So
what
do
you
need
like
emotion
from
us
or.
A
Yeah,
well
we're
going
to
need
to
do
public
comments,
so
we're
going
to
have
public
comment.
So
at
this
point,
yeah
we'll
invite
public
comment.
So
come
on
up.
If
you'd
like
to
comment
line
up
at
the
podium
now
and
then
we'll
go
to.
R
A
very
detailed
part
of
it,
the
street
sweeper
pre-covered
and
during
covid
I
called
a
number
of
times
the
city
to
address
that
there
wasn't
a
street
sweeper
and
got
the
answer
that
basically
there
wasn't
money
or
was
broken.
R
So
I
like
to
point
out
that
there's
the
state
water
quality
board
that
sets
up
the
standards
of
storm
water
pollution
prevention
plan
and
you
might
not
think
that's
a
big
deal,
but
there's
a
lot
of
garbage
that
are
on
the
streets.
So
what
happens
is
during
your
rainstorms?
It
just
carries
all
that
garbage
and
plastic
down
the
storm
drains
where
you've
done
a
nice
job
of
putting
Little
Creatures
painted
on
the
drains,
but
it
defeats
the
the
purpose.
R
So
you
know
I
kind
of
went
along
with
it
and
just
said
you
know,
I,
don't
know
what
to
say,
but
I
I
called
later
on
a
couple
years
later
and
said
great,
you
got
your
the
street
cleaners
going
again,
but
the
problem
is
that
there's
cars
like
in
Northtown
downtown
that
Park
along
the
curbs.
So
even
though
your
street
sweeper
comes
through,
they
cannot
clean.
R
So
it
still
did
not
solve
that
and
basically
once
I
told
them
that
they
were
like
I
got
somebody
at
the
desk,
and
you
know
that
was
it.
R
It
goes
out
to
the
Pacific,
and
one
of
the
reasons
why
there's
a
big
patch
out
there
that's
twice
the
size
of
Texas
is
because
of
you
know:
cities
like
Arcata
that
are
trying
to
be
environmental,
better
sort
of
like
not
quite
doing
the
most
important
thing,
so
I
I'm,
definitely
in
favor
of
street
sweeper,
but
I.
Just
like
you
know
it's
pretty
a
serious
thing
and
I
mean
maybe
I
was
only
like
19
years
old
when
I
took
some
environmental
classes,
but
I
I,
don't
think
it's
like
a
choice.
R
I
think
it's
like
mandatory
and
you
could
be
actually
in
trouble
right
now
for
not
doing
that
and
it's
it's
sort
of,
like
even
eighteen
thousand
population
and
one
street
sweeper
at
I.
Don't
know
if
that's
even
like
really
doing
the
job,
but
there
needs
to
be
some
like
pretty
serious
attention
to
that,
and
maybe,
since
you're
trying
to
save
some
money,
you
should
throw
some
money
soon
and
get
that
going.
B
Hi,
my
name
is
Joanne
mcgarian
I'm,
just
swimming
in
numbers
and
thoughts,
but
I
want
to
thank
vice
mayor,
Meredith
Matthews
for
bringing
up
the
Main
Street
monies
and
making
sure
we
revisit
and
and
see
where
monies
have
been
spent,
where
monies
can
go.
B
B
Online
I
never
have
ordered
from
Amazon
and
so
I'm
doing
what
I
can,
in
my
small
way
to
get
that
sales
tax
up,
and
you
know
just
all
that,
but
one
of
the
things
that
when
we
were
talking
about
priorities
for
the
next
year
and
things
and
I
came
up
and
spoke,
was
kind
of
the
concept
of
braiding
things
together
and
sometimes
when
you
step
back
and
look
at
how
things
can
be
done
more
efficiently
effectively,
it
sometimes
comes
from
getting
different
things
to
move
together,
and
that
also
can
mean
in
the
terms
of
money
expenditures.
B
B
You
know
it
could
be
a
time
where
they
could
split
off
again,
but
sometimes
we
we
isolate
things
and
and
piecemeal
things
and
something
separate
in
one
part
of
town
and
in
another
part
of
town,
and
we
maybe
need
to
be
more
holistic
and
by
being
more
holistic,
we
can
be
more
efficient
and
cost
effective
in
a
lot
of
these
expenditure
things
so
I'll
do
what
I
can
but
I
I.
B
Finally,
my
final
55
seconds
so
I
want
to
talk
about
the
unhoused
situation
and
that
reality
and
I
think
putting
a
lot
of
effort,
time,
energy
people
and
money
to
really
get
a
handle
on
that
it
will
open
up
a
lot
of
opportunities
for
a
lot
of
other
things
in
our
community
and
finally,
we
cannot.
We
cannot
ignore
the
climate
reality
and
everything
we
do.
We
should
look
at
that,
first
and
foremost
in
terms
of
mitigating
and
adapting
and
spending
money
up
front,
so
that
we
won't
have
to
spend
a
lot
more
money
afterwards.
B
Q
My
thanks
and
appreciation
to
the
finance
director
for
a
very
clear,
concise
and
easy
to
understand
presentation.
Thank
you.
M
I
just
want
to
mention
the
street
sweeper
over
the
years.
They've
said
we
hold
it
together,
like
with
rubber
bands
and
tape
and
glue,
and
it's
been
really
difficult,
and
so
I'm
I'm
really
happy
to
see
that
we're
finally
going
to
have
a
street
sweeper,
something
that
could
actually
work
every
day
and
it
had
to
be
so
frustrating
for
the
street
sweeper
person
that
ran
the
vehicle
not
to
be
able
to
keep
it
running
so
I'm
thankful
about
that
finally
happening,
because
that's
a
long
term
I'd
say
that's.
H
H
A
So
bring
it
back
to
the
council
for
any
last
minute
questions
comments
or
we
will
entertain
a
motion
to
adopt
resolution
number.
L
M
I
M
M
A
A
Thank
you,
Tabitha,
yes,
wonderful
and,
and
very
very
clear
and
concise
and
I
like
it.
That
way,
all
right
that
takes
us
to
item
d,
which
is
to
approve
proposed
amendments
to
the
humble
Waste,
Management
authorities,
joint
Powers
agreement
and
direct
the
mayor
whoa
to
execute
the
restated
and
amended
agreement.
V
Good
evening,
council
members,
so
I
will
do
my
best
to
keep
this
straightforward
and
concise
happy
to
jump
into
questions
or
the
weeds
as
helpful.
So
this
action
relates
to
SB
1383,
which
essentially
is
the
Organics
diversion
State
mandates.
I
won't
spend
a
lot
of
time
delving
into
all
the
various
requirements
of
1383,
but
what
I
will
say
is
that
this
is
the
second
decision
point
that
the
council
has
before
them.
V
So
the
item
here
before
you
is
an
amended
joint
Powers
agreement
and
what
that
will
essentially
do
is
provide
the
mechanism
to
establish
flow
control
such
that
hwma
can
move
forward
in
establishing
that
Regional
Organics
processing
infrastructure
backing
up
a
little
bit
into
process.
February
of
2023.
The
hwma
board
approved
the
draft
language
for
this
jpa.
Amendment
restated
and
amended
jpa.
V
Since
the
board
has
approved
the
draft
language,
the
draft
jpa
is
being
reviewed
or
will
be
reviewed
by
all
the
decision-making
bodies
of
the
various
member
agencies,
Arcata
being
one
of
them.
If
70
of
the
member
agencies
pass
or
approve
the
draft
language,
it
will
go
back
to
the
hwma
board
for
finalization
and
then
from
there.
There
will
be
a
forthcoming
mou
that
will
specify
the
Organics
material
for
flow
control
for
hwma.
So
essentially,
this
is
one
piece
in
this
jpa
amendment
process,
which
is
one
piece
in
the
SB
1383
compliance
framework.
V
I
I'm
really
happy
to
see
some
movement
after
what
seemed
like
a
year
of
kind
of
stagnantation,
so
I'm
really
glad
that
things
are
happening.
You
know
the
hwma
is
applying
for
grants.
That
should
cover
a
lot
of
this.
You
know.
Basically,
you
know
giving
them
flow.
Control
means
that
they're
just
gonna
they'll,
be
we
don't
have
to
figure
it
out.
The
one
thing
that
I
would
like
to
agenda
is
at
a
later
date,
is
to
really
review
our
Recology
contract.
V
Yep
and
I
can
speak
a
little
bit
to
that.
So
we
have
been
beginning
conversations
and
negotiations
with
Recology
what
you,
when
did
we
bring
this
up?
We
brought
this
up
at
the
goal
setting
session
most
recently,
so
we
have
retained
a
consultant
to
assist
the
city
with
SB,
1383
and
franchise
agreement
negotiations,
so
we
can
really
bring
that
technical
expertise
to
ensure
we
are
getting
the
most
effective
programs
and
subsequent
rates
for
the
Arcata
residents.
V
So
certainly
that
will
be
coming
back
once
we
do
have
franchise
agreement,
language
and
we're
also,
in
addition
to
working
at
the
Arcata
Recology
level,
we're
also
working
with
the
other
Humboldt
County
jurisdictions
to
see
where
we
might
be
able
to
realize
some
efficiencies
and
cost
savings
and
ensuring
that
we're
really
looking
at
Humboldt
County
on
a
broad
scale.
So
there
there
will
be
a
lot
more
to
come
in
the
coming
months
there
as
well.
I
A
Great
yeah
I
feel
feel
great
about
this.
It
looks
good
and
any
other
questions
from
this
side
of
the
diocese
or.
V
The
current
Grant
proposal
and
and
I
don't
want
to
speak
too
much
on
behalf
of
hwma,
but
they
are
working
with
city
of
Eureka
as
well
as
a
consultant,
and
it's
really
for
the
Organics
pre-processing
infrastructure.
At
this
point,
so
it'll
be
more
more
sorting,
less
and
sorting
and
creating
a
slurry.
If
you
will
less
anaerobic
digestion,.
A
All
right:
let's
take
public
comment
on
this
item
and
then
we
will
come
back
for
approval.
B
Say
that
I,
like
the
regionalism
concepts
on
big
matters
like
this,
when
we
have
to
respond
to
a
state
bill,
that's
very
complicated
and,
and
whatever
so
you
know,
cost
savings
again
can
hopefully
happen
if
we
blend
regionally
some
of
our
our
efforts.
I
do
want
to
ask
the
question
of
the
Edgar
Associates
and
the
cost
of
the
whole
and
the
portion
of
the
costs
that
we
are
paying
to
these
Consultants
or
advisors
from
Arcata.
For
this
project
is
there?
Was
there
a
cost
that
was
incurred.
V
Sure
so
I
mean
I
can
briefly
just
say
there
is
not
a
cost
associated
with
this
agenda
item
before
you,
the
the
grant
that
was
brought
up
is
being
cost
contributed
by
the
various
participating
jurisdictions.
Arcata
is
about
12
of
overall
I'd
have
to
get
back
to
you
with
a
specific
number,
but
12
of
the
overall
consultant
cost.
R
Good
evening
last
time
this
came
up.
I
I
brought
up
a
PBS
news
hour
from
a
story
from
a
few
years
ago
from
Paul
solner.
It
was
a
state
of
recycling
that
was
going
on
all
over
the
United
States
and
unfortunately,
in
2019,
most
of
our
recycling
was
going
to
China
and
the
Chinese
cut
us
off
and
basically
we
were
stuck
with
it
and
so
part
of
that
story
of
the
NewsHour
was
that
what
were
we
doing
with
our
recycling?
Because
we
didn't
really
have
anybody
that
was
interested
in
buying
it.
R
So
during
that
story
you
could
see
some
of
the
cities
that
were
the
problems
they
were
facing
from
the
standpoint.
A
lot
of
it
was
just
ending
up
going
into
the
dump,
basically
the
stored
in
warehouses,
and
they
couldn't
find
buyers.
So
one
of
my
questions
is
it's
like.
What's
going
on
here
are,
we
is
that
what's
happening
here
are
and
and
basically
how
much
is
really
being
recycled
from
cardboard
plastic,
because
a
recent
article
that
I
also
shared
with
Karen,
was
that
basically
the
number
was
the
best
anybody's
doing
is
13
plastic.
R
The
only
plastic
that's
been
recycled
is
number
one
and
number
two,
the
rest
of
it's
just
going
to
the
dump.
Even
California
has
a
new
law
that
you
can't
just
put
that
recycling
standard
on
anything,
because
people
just
are
going
to
throw
it
in
their
thinking.
It's
so
we
need
to
have
some
serious
I
mean
you
should
be
like
addressing
what
what's
going
on
with
our
recycling
I.
Don't
actually
know
the
details.
I
mean
I
sort
of
asked
Karen,
but
it
wasn't
really
her
answer.
R
Wasn't
that
precise
on
you
know
where,
where
it's
going
and
I've
shared
about
six
links
from
that
recent
article
for
the
New
York
Times
and
it
I
mean
it
shows
pictures
of
it
going
to
Africa,
and
you
see
kids,
you
know
like
going
through
the
dump.
We're
talking
about
like
really
bad
stuff
and
I
mean
I,
don't
know.
R
Does
it
get
shipped
there
I,
don't
know
the
answer
to
that
that,
but
it
is
happening
and
it's
coming
from
the
U.S,
so
I
mean
it's
pretty
a
pretty
serious
issue
and
we
we
have
this
flag
that
we
put
up
on
the
pole,
but
does
that
really
mean
we're
environmentalists?
Are
we
looking
really
under
the
hood
to
see
whether
we're
really
doing
the
right
thing?
R
Are
we
just
kind
of
like
accepting
it's
all
being
taken
care
of
so
I
think
that's
somebody
on
the
city
council
should
really
like
look
into
this
and
let
us
know
what
is
really
happening.
You
know,
so
this
is
linked
to
also
what
I
comments
that
I
made
about
the
plastic
being
out
in
the
ocean.
I
mean
it's
pretty
I'm
really
upset
about
this.
From
the
standpoint,
I
went
on
a
vacation
to
Columbia
and
I
went
scuba,
diving,
425
miles
off
the
coast
there,
and
this
supposed
to
be
a
pristine.
R
I
M
So
I
think
another
thing
that
will
happen
is
once
we
start
this
food
waste.
You
aren't
supposed
to
put
in
your
cardboard
pizza
boxes
because
of
the
oil,
but
you'll
be
able
to
put
them
in
the
compost
and
that
so
that'll
be
a
good
solution,
especially
because
Domino's
Pizza
puts
on
the
front
of
their
whole
thing
about
recycling
this.
They
have
a
little
sign
about
how
to
recycle,
ecology
won't.
A
I
H
A
All
right
motion
passes
unanimously
that
takes
us
to
item
e,
but
item
e
is
going
to
be
postponed,
continue
to
the
April
5th
agenda,
so
that
takes
us
to
oral
and
written
Communications.
City
appreciates
your
public
input
and
this
time
is
provided
for
people
to
address
the
Council
on
items
that
are
not
on
the
agenda.
Q
Thank
you.
Take.
A
Q
My
name
is
Fred
wise
I'd
like
to
commend
commissioner
or
excuse
me,
council,
member
Stillman
and
any
other
council
members
who
are
watching
the
Planning
Commission
meetings.
I
recognize
the
importance
of
that
at
the
meeting
on
last
night,
I
urge
the
council
to
watch
the
video
starting
at
the
hour
two
hours
and
54
or
55
minutes.
Sherry
Starr
spoke
and
I'll.
Be
writing
an
article
about
this.
Basically,
the
summaries
of
the
recommendations
of
Transportation
Safety
Committee
have
presented
to
the
Planning
Commission.
Q
Those
summaries
are
substantially
inaccurate
and
Sherry
spoke
to
this
I've
spoken
to
the
transportation
Safety
Committee
about
this
also
David
lawyer,
director
lawyer,
maintains,
if
the
summaries
are
are
accurate
but
they're
not
at
all.
The
commissioner
Mayor
found
this
situation
to
be
upsetting.
This
is
not
the
first
time
this
happened
has
happened
multiple
times
and
brings
into
question
the
process
of
the
accuracy
of
the
framework
of
the
committee
findings
going
to
the
commission.
Q
I
think
this
will
all
be
corrected.
The
transportation
Safety
Committee
is
meeting
March
21st,
but
as
I
say,
it's
not
the
first
time
and
the
the
one
question
I
have
for
the
council
is
if
the
council
is
interested
in
making
a
decision
on
L
Street,
based
upon
the
Transportation
safety
committee's
clear
and
strong
recommendation
for
the
linear
Park.
The
reason
I
ask
is
because
any
form-based
code
work
that's
done
on
the
Gateway
Carter
District
that
includes
K
Street
will
have
to
be
redone
if
that
decision
is
not
made
before
he
does.
Q
The
that's
about
it,
I'll
be
reporting,
occasionally
I,
don't
think,
there's
enough
weeks
left
for
them
to
do
any
kind
of
a
decent
job,
and
so
we'll
find
out
what
happens
as
as
time
as
the
next
eight
weeks.
Eight
sessions
go
on
thanks.
R
Next
week,
at
this
time
is
I
believe
our
our
big
session
with
the
sea
level
rise
experts
so
right.
Oh
sorry,
28.
R
I
think
it's
gonna
be
important
that
we
know
in
advance
who
those
individuals
are
and
what
organizations
they're
coming
from.
That
would
be
helpful
to
know
you
know
Fred.
R
So
yeah
I
think
that's
important.
I
mean
it
gives
maybe
the
public
an
opportunity
to
ask
some
questions
to
The
Experts
since
I.
Don't
know
how
the
format
set
up
or
you
know,
for
public
speaking
when
we
come
to
the
big
group,
it's
barely
minimum
on
the
public.
Usually
we
so
I
think
that
would
be
really
helpful
if
we
could
get
that
information
and
hustle
and
the
big
picture
of
things
I
try
to
think
a
little
bit
outside
the
box.
R
R
You
know
where
we
have
Bedrock
for
earthquakes
and
we're
not
going
to
be
dealing
with
sea
level
rise
in
the
future
that
we're
not
going
to
set
ourselves
up
for
a
another
low
or
G
Street
problem,
which
we
have
I
mean
Andrea
I
really
addressed
that
and
we're
going
to
have
to
move
people
in
the
future
someplace.
So
that's,
like
you
know,
a
big
concern
to
mind
that
we're
not
repeating
the
same
mistake
and
that's
kind
of
what
we
do
in
with
history.
R
That's
pretty
much
the
only
option.
Otherwise
you
just
keep
seeing
FEMA
coming
in
there
and
spending
a
lot
of
money
and
FEMA
goes
like
bankrupt
every
year
because
of
this.
So
that's
a
main
reason.
Why
I
have
such
a
big
concern
about
this,
but
also
in
other
areas
too,
that
I
I
guess
maybe
I
don't
know
I'll
send
an
article
from
The
New,
York
Times,
but
they're?
Also
the
the
cost
of
global
warming
and
I,
don't
think
you're,
necessarily
thinking
about
that
from
a
financial
standpoint
of
insurance.
R
We
see
that
in
California
from
the
standpoint
of
you
know
in
the
fire
areas
that
people
are
getting
their
insurance
canceled,
our
rates
go
up,
but
with
sea
level
rise.
That's
going
to
be
another
issue
too.
As
far
as
the
the
Gateway
area
there
that
these
unexpected
things
are
going
to
result
in
you
know
expenses
that
no
one's
thinking
about.
O
B
Three
things
I
want
to
talk
about,
include
I've,
sent
emails
to
you
on
various
topics
and
issues
and
stories
of
interest
that
I
hope.
Many
of
you
have
taken
a
look
at
I
had
the
benefit
of
living
in
other
places
for
long
periods
of
time
and
making
connections
there
with
a
lot
of
people
who
are
doing
some
amazing
things,
and
so
I
like
to
bring
them
up
here
to
my
current
home
here
in
Arcata
and
Humboldt
County,
and
share
them
with
you,
because
I
think
oftentimes.
B
We
don't
appreciate
what's
happening
elsewhere
and
there's
a
little
bit
of
internal
Pride
or
whatever,
and
some
of
the
things
that
we
do.
But
one
of
the
issues
I
brought
up
and
I
mentioned
earlier
and
I
tried
to
share
it
with
some
of
you.
But
I'll
do
it
officially
in
an
email
to
you?
Is
this
Eco
machine
or
the
decentralized
Wastewater
concept?
B
And
when
I
spoke
about
Visionaries
for
the
creeks
and
wetlands
committee
and
all
we
really,
we
really
need
to
get
down
to
nuts
and
bolts,
but
we
also
need
to
step
back
and
look
forward
and
as
Tabitha
suggested
in
terms
of
budgeting.
That's
also
what
we
need
to
do,
but
we
need
to
Envision.
You
know
a
plan
and
and
an
idea
for
our
future
and
but
I
do
that
so
often
and
I'll
try
and
share
it
with
you.
B
And
hopefully
you
appreciate
it,
but
looking
at
some
alternatives
to
these
very
costly
fixer-uppers
of
things
like
the
marsh
I'm
really
concerned
about
phase
two
and
levees
breaking
and
Levy
broken
Pajaro
because
of
this
extreme
weather,
because
the
climate
is
I've,
read
recently
that
these
atmospheric
Rivers
may
not
be
as
frequent,
but
they
will
be
25
percent
more
intense
in
the
future.
And
so
that's
another
thing
about
emergency
preparedness
and
just
all
of
us,
coming
together
in
a
much
more
holistic
and
cohesive
way.
B
C
Public
comments,
yes,
call
in
user,
go
ahead.
S
Hello
I'd
like
to
Ken
Swarovski.
Can
you
hear
me.
S
Can
you
hear
me
yes,
yes,
I
always
ask
with
technology.
It
doesn't
always
go
through.
So
I
would
like
to
Echo
pretty
well
what
the
prior
speaker
said
on
many
of
these
topics.
Unfortunately,
Arcata
has
so
many
of
us
eggs
in
one
basket
regarding
waste
treatment,
I
learned
from
what
happens
around
the
world
in
a
simple
9.2
earthquake,
which
happened.
S
What
took
out
Japan,
took
out
their
major
facilities
on
an
80-foot
water
comes
through
and,
of
course,
the
the
area
where
you're
intending
to
develop
is
within
that
range,
I'm
sure
an
80-foot
wall
of
water
would
take
that
and
it's
entirely
along
with
your
wastewater
treatment
system,
so
I
seriously
think
the
most
area.
You
should
look
at
Alternatives
as
far
as
not
having
all
those
in
one
area.
If
that
were
to
be
eliminated.
S
Of
course,
I
don't
know
what
Arcata
would
do
so,
let's
play
worst
case
scenario
with
Tabitha's
speaking
with
you
earlier.
Many
of
us
feel
that
these
inflation
numbers
are
so
far
below
what
we
actually
see
happening.
Those
of
us
in
the
building
trade
and
buying
products
and
things
that
those
inflation
rates
are
are
ridiculously
as
they're
being
reflected.
I
guess
that's
creative
math
to
make
everybody
feel
better,
but
I
think
we're
all
feeling
way
more
of
a
pinch
than
that.
I
applaud
the
idea
that
she.
S
So
how
was
this
happening
currently
the
last
few
days
here
and
but
no
matter
what
I
think
you
should
look
toward
a
recession
or
depression?
He
said
we're
already
in
it
in
Humboldt,
County
I,
don't
feel
it
at
all
compared
to
what
I've
experienced
in
the
past.
S
As
far
as
the
sessions
go,
they
maybe
have
lower
standards
for
that,
but
when
it
does
hit
you're
going
to
be
in
a
position
where
I
think
you're
going
to
wish
that
you
saved
every
penny
upon
saving
a
five
thousand
dollars
or
whatever
you're
saving
every
time
you
get
a
chance
for
something,
that's
not
necessary
because
that's
going
to
make
a
big
difference
later
so
I
hate
to
be
so
much
Doom
and
Gloom,
but
I
I
do
highly
recommend
that
you
take
that
Doom
and
Gloom
thing
now
some
good
things
that
are
happening.
S
It
sounds
like
we're
having
whole
new
sources
of
storage.
It
sounds
like
what
I
call
the
fentanyl
of
the
energy
storage
in
with
his
lip.
The
lithium
batteries
may
be
replaced
by
a
new
technology
coming
out
of
my
MIT
in
carbon
batteries,
and
our
guess
is
for
people
I
talk
to
who
do
deal
with
MIT
and
NASA,
and
things
like
that
that
we
will
have
alternative
sources
of
energy
way
before
you
get
these
wind
turbines
off
the
coast,
generating
anything
we'll
have
par
Superior,
consistent
sources
of
energy
that
won't
require
storage.
S
So
those
are
some
good
things
that
may
be
in
the
works.
On
the
other
hand,
eventually,
we
are
going
to
have
a
major
collapse,
and
the
question
I
asked
about
a
30
reduction
in
the
value
of
the
pers
and
pars
regard
related
to
stock
market
was
very
conservative,
so
you
may
wish
to
actually
ask
some
of
the
questions
that
people
ask
you
to
ask.
Sometimes
that's
up
to
you.
A
C
No
just
encourage
the
residents
to
recognize.
We've
got
new
electric
buses
that
are
going
to
be
hitting
the
street
next
week,
so
we
just
toured
them
tonight
and
we
both
of
them,
have
arrived
and
both
have
their
City
locals
on
them
and
they
will
be
starting
up.
So
it's
exciting
to
see
so.
M
I
posted
a
photograph,
and
this
person
said
I
was
staring
at
that
wondering
why
it
had
a
bow
on
the
front
and
it
makes
so
much
more
sense.
But
honestly,
you
thought
some
random
person
stuck
it
on
there.
M
So
I
I,
you
know
I
said
you
know
we
weren't
on
a
regular
route
and
so
forth,
but
it
was.
It
was
great
to
be
on
that
bus
and
to
take
that
ride
and
I
I.
Think
it's
good.
Even
though
people
must
have
made
been
amazed
to
see
a
bus
going
in
the
route
we
were
in
because
it's
nothing,
they
would
ever
do
it's,
so
it
was
fun
anyway.
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
the
bow
caused
some
thought.
A
All
right,
if
that's
our
only
staff
update,
then
any
Council
updates
I
know
the
big
update
is
we're
all
excited
to
go
to
Monterey
this
weekend
and
and
learn
and
go
to
the
Civic
well
conference.
So
that's
my
only
update.
I
I
just
want
to
let
everybody
know
so
that
I
won't
be
at
the
next
council
meeting
on
April
5th.
It
is
the
first
night
of
passover,
I'm
sad
that
there
had
to
be
a
council
member,
a
council
meeting
scheduled
on
an
important
Jewish
holiday.
But
here
we
are.
We
have
a
full
Council
now
so
there'll
be
plenty
of
people
here,
Happy
Passover
to
those
that
celebrate.
J
J
It's
located
on
9th
Street
across
from
pencils,
Ace
Hardware,
Arcata
house
partnership
is
looking
for
volunteers
as
they're
closing
down
their
extreme
weather
shelter
to
do
some
sanitizing
and
cleaning,
and
both
Sarah
and
our
mayor,
Schaefer
and
myself
have
been
meeting
with
a
group
of
constituents
face
faith-based
organizations
as
well
as
arcade
house,
partnership
and
aha
to
further
strategize
homeless
service
and
resources.
So
we
are
trying
to
find
more
resources.
J
I
had
a
scheduling
conflict,
but
Sarah
can
probably
share
more
about
that
if
she
would
like
and
then
just
real
quick
as
Fred
had
requested,
to
allocate
I
think
it
was
maybe
175.
Maybe
it
was
155
or
recording
the
upcoming
joint
sessions.
I
was
hoping
that
we
might
be
able
to
address
that.
I
know
that
the
next
one
is
going
to
be
on
March
28th.
Otherwise,
the
community
will
be
likely
passing
the
basket
to
record
this
again
and
then
also
yeah
was
going
to
mention
what
Sarah
already
did
Civic
well
conference.
A
A
We
probably
had
like
20
to
25
people
in
this
room
last,
whenever
that
was
Thursday
of
all
faith-based
leaders,
members
from
True,
North
housing,
Faith
group,
arcade,
house,
partnership,
staff,
arcade
house
partnership
board
members
and,
as
he
Wade
from
aha
and
myself,
and
just
some
other
folks
that
have
been
working
on
that
with
me.
So
it
was
a
really
good
kind
of
first
meeting
of
just
folks
getting
together
and
seeing
you
know
what
resources
can
we
offer?
A
What
are
we
interested
in
collaborating
on
just
a
lot
of
talk
about
me
kind
of
coming
to
the
realization?
There's
a
lot
of
basic
things.
I
think
that
the
city
can
help
support,
or
you
know,
hook
up
these
organizations
together
to
be
able
to
support
things
like
storage
lockers
for
houseless
folks.
That
might
need
to
go.
A
You
know,
ride
the
bus
over
to
Eureka
and
go
schlep
around
some
offices,
and
you
know
can't
carry
all
of
their
stuff
I've
actually
recently
by
my
work
in
Eureka,
have
found
a
houseless
individual
that
I've
now
noticed
he
leaves
his
backpack
in
his
bag
and
his
dog.
Sadly,
you
know
tied
up
by
a
by
a
neighboring
fence,
but
by
the
bus,
stop
and
I
realized.
A
He
goes
on
the
bus
and
leaves
all
of
his
stuff
there
and
then
comes
back,
and
you
know
realizing
that
yeah
folks
need
a
place
to
put
their
stuff
if
they
don't
have
a
home
to
put
it
in,
and
so
just
basic
things
like
that,
and
just
other
talks
about
sanitation
and
bathrooms
and
everywhere.
You
know
everything
like
that
and
so
starting
to
be
able
to
get
some
folks
together
that
we
can
collaborate
on
that.
It
felt
really
positive
so
well.
M
I
think
that's
exactly
that's
also
what
Kim
is
Kim
the
mayor
and
Eureka
is
doing
also
so
she's
involved
in.
Have
she
had
that
meeting
I
think
you
attended
that
Kimberly
and
so
I
think
and
I.
What
I
look
forward
to
is
to
figure
out
how
we
can
work
together,
both
city
of
Arcata
and
Eureka,
so
we
don't
have
to
duplicate
services
and
we
can
figure
out
how
to
actually
handle
things
in
a
more.
J
M
It's
Arcata
playhouse
that
is
running
they've
taken
over
the
seventh
building
downstairs
and
that's
what
they're
doing
it
used
to
be
a
place
that
hensel's
Hardware
when
that
building
was
built?
Originally
it
was
for
hinsel's
Hardware
was
in
there
and
after
they
completed
their
release.
I
think
was
a
10-year
lease
or
20
or
something
a
long
time.
They
decided
they
were
going
to
move
because
they
bought
the
Celia
and
titlow
building
and
they
decided
they're
going
to
move
into
that.
M
A
All
right,
well,
I,
think
with
that
we
are
adjourned
so
yeah,
let's
get
some
sleep
here.
