First,
we
have
a
land
acknowledgment.
The
city
of
Arcata
acknowledges
that
the
lands
we
are
located
on
are
the
unseated
ancestral
lands
of
the
Wyatt
tribe,
the
land
that
our
cater
rests
on
is
known
in
the
wiat
language
as
gudini,
meaning
over
in
the
woods
or
among
the
Redwoods
past
actions
by
local
state
and
federal
governments
removed
the
weat
and
other
indigenous
peoples
from
the
land
and
threatened
to
destroy
their
cultural
practices.
The
city
of
Arcata
acknowledges
the
weak
Community
their
Elders,
both
past
and
present,
as
well
as
future
Generations.
B
B
Thank
you.
If
you
wish
to
make
a
comment
during
the
meeting,
either
at
the
two
public
comment
periods
or
for
an
individual
agenda
item.
There
are
three
ways
to
do
so,
if
you
are
here
in
person,
you'll
line
up
behind
the
podium
when
the
item
you
would
like
to
speak
on
is
accepting
public
comment.
If
you
are
logged
on
to
zoom
click,
raise
your
hand
when
it
is
time
for
public
comment
on
the
item.
You
wish
to
speak
on.
B
If
you
are
on
the
phone
press,
star
9
on
your
phone
to
raise
your
hand
when
it
is
your
turn,
you
will
be
prompted
to
dial
Star
6.
for
each
item.
We
will
be
taking
in-person
public
comment
first
and
then
move
to
the
online
comments.
We
won't
be
going
back
and
forth.
So,
if
you're
wanting
to
comment,
please
make
sure
that
you
either
line
up
or
raise
your
hand,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
we
see
you
also
for
anyone
that
might
be
new
here
today.
B
If
you
are
wanting
to
speak
in
the
first
open,
Agenda
item
right
up
there
where
Fred
is,
are
our
cards
and
we're
going
to
take?
We
take
the
first.
We
have
time
for
eight
people,
so
we'll
do
the
first
four
folks.
Thank
you.
Fred
he's
passing
out
cards
we'll
take
the
first
four
people
in
person
and
then
we'll
go
to
the
next
four
online.
B
If
we
don't
happen
to
have
you
know,
eight
people
and
total
we'll
go
back,
you
know
and
fit
people
in
and
if
we,
if
people
happen
to
be
shorter
than
the
three
minutes-
and
we
have
time
within
that
15
minutes,
we
will
go
to
more
people.
So
next
we
have
ceremonial
matters
and
we
first.
So
what
we'll
do
with
these
is?
B
We
will
have
the
council
person
we'll,
read
them,
and
then
we
will
whoever's
reading
that
will
go
down
and
present
it
to
the
person
accepting
the
proclamation
and
then,
if
those
accepting
it,
you
can
go
to
the
microphone
and
say
something
if
you
would
like
you
don't
have
to,
but
you
can,
if
you
would
like
to
so.
First,
we
have
a
proclamation
and
recognition
of
national
hunger
and
homelessness
awareness
week
and
that
will
be
read
by
council
member
Matthews.
C
And
whereas
the
community
recognizes
that
hunger
and
homelessness
continues
to
be
a
serious
problem
for
many
individuals
and
families
living
in
Arcata
and
no
one
should
have
to
worry
about
whether
they
will
have
food
on
their
plate
or
a
roof
over
their
head.
And
whereas
the
California
Center
for
Rural
policy
reported
in
their
Humboldt
County
food
assessment,
that
hunger
is
a
daily
experience
and
that
more
than
31
percent
of
adults
experience
food
insecurity,
while
37
percent
of
households
with
children,
experience,
food
insecurity,
most
live
on,
fixed
incomes
or
survive
paycheck
to
paycheck.
C
And
whereas,
while
homelessness
creates
barriers
to
accessing
essential
services
such
as
Affordable
Health,
Care,
housing,
child
care
and
education.
The
cost
of
these
Necessities
often
contribute
to
hunger,
food
and
security
and
people
experience
homelessnesses
on
any
given
night,
whereas
the
aim
of
the
National
Coalition
for
the
homeless
is
to
eradicate
homelessness
by
solving
the
root
causes
of
it
to
educate
the
public.
C
About
the
many
reasons
people
are
hungry
and
homeless,
including
the
shortage
of
affordable
housing
for
low-income
residents
and
to
encourage
support
for
the
organizations
committed
to
Sheltering,
providing
support
services
as
well
as
meals,
Food,
Supplies,
clothing
and
hygiene
products
to
the
homeless
and
hungry.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
proclaimed
by
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
Arcata
that
November
12th
through
20th
2022,
is
National
hunger
and
homelessness
awareness
week
and
encourages
all
people
in
the
community
to
work
together
to
find
meaningful
solutions
for
these
problems
stated
November
16
2022
signed
Stacy
at
Gonzalez.
Our
mayor.
D
My
reading
glasses
I
just
have
a
short
statement,
because
the
proclamation
pretty
much
stays
at
all
and
it's
just
really
to
raise
homelessness
awareness.
My
name
is
Winchell
dillenbeck
I
am
a
McKinleyville
resident
and
an
affordable
homeless,
housing
alternatives.
Aha
board
member
I.
Thank
the
Arcata
city
council
for
recognizing
National
hunger
and
homelessness.
Awareness
Week
solutions
to
the
homeless
problem
is
the
toughest
and
the
most
challenging
problem
for
a
city
to
deal
with.
D
In
addition,
I
urge
you
to
support
the
establishment
of
sanctioned
legal
camps
and
Tiny
House
Villages,
where
the
unhoused
would
have
a
safe
legal
place
to
secure
their
property,
have
decent
meals,
proper
sanitation
and
hygiene
facilities,
as
well
as
to
access
the
services
that
they
need.
Thank
you.
B
Okay,
our
next
Proclamation
is
in
recognition
of
adoption
awareness
month
and
that's
for
November
2022.
Whereas
children
are
a
precious
asset
to
our
future,
they
will.
They
will
be
the
ushers
of
a
new
day
with
new
ideas
and
contributions.
Children
who
are
not
cared
for
or
provided
the
essentials
in
life
will
not
carry
the
torch
of
our
dreams
and
whereas
children
of
all
ages,
abilities
and
ethnicities
are
waiting
for
responsible
adults
to
step
up,
lend
a
hand
and
say
I
will
love
you.
B
Today,
children
grow
best
in
stable
families
and
we
support
children
receiving
the
best
care
possible.
Whether
we
are
supporting
birth
parents
getting
back
on
track
or
through
foster
care
or
adoption,
and
whereas
around
four
hundred
thousand
children
are
in
foster
care
in
the
United
States
more
than
one-fifth
of
them
live
in
California
in
Humboldt
County
there
are
around
400
children
in
foster
care.
B
So
there
is
a
resource
pool
of
families
for
the
many
children
coming
into
care,
and
whereas
adoption
Horizons
has
been
providing
services
to
Children
and
Families
for
40
years,
assisting
families
who
are
waiting
to
adopt
children
domestically
and
internationally
and
providing
them
with
guidance,
education
and
support
to
be
successful.
Parents.
E
I
wrote
a
little
something
thank
you,
mayor
Salazar
and
thank
you.
Arcata
city
council
you've
been
giving
me
these
for
quite
a
few
years
now,
I'll
be
an
old
Haggard
lady
someday
coming
in
here.
Adoption
Horizons
is
celebrating
40
years
of
service.
That's
quite
a
long
time
for
a
non-profit
organization.
I've
been
there
myself,
38
years,
that's
hard
to
believe
really
but
40.
Plus
years
ago,
Sue,
Andrews
and
Kathleen
Zamboni
had
a
vision
of
creating
a
local
adoption
agency
based
on
parent
education
and
self-evaluation.
E
40
years
later,
the
agency
still
stands
by
these
principles,
as
well
as
Humane
and
positive
services
to
the
families
who
come
seeking
family
expansion
over
the
years.
There
have
been
many
changes
in
adoption
practice,
but
the
need
Still
Remains
for
families.
Currently,
our
office
is
working
with
quality,
parenting
initiative
or
qpi
here
locally
to
improve
and
develop
better
prac
practice
models
in
adoption
and
Foster
Care
with
the
local
child
welfare
services.
There's
always
a
need
for
foster
care.
F
In
recognition
of
national
hospice
and
palliative
care
month,
November
2022,
whereas
Hospice
of
Humboldt,
has
been
caring
for
those
who
are
terminally
ill
and
their
families.
Since
1979
patients
receive
heartfelt
care,
so
they
can
live
peacefully
in
their
homes
or
at
the
Ida
Emerson
Hospice
house,
surrounded
by
their
loved
ones.
F
Hospice
and
palliative
care
are
holistic,
person-centered,
interdisciplinary
support
services
that
treat
patients
and
their
families,
not
just
their
illnesses,
and
whereas
Hospice
of
humble
expanded
services
in
2022
to
include
home-based
palliative
care,
palliative
care
gives
relief
from
symptoms
and
stress
that
arise
when
someone
is
coping
with
a
serious
illness.
Palliative
care
is
available,
even
if
a
person
is
still
receiving
Curative
treatments
and
whereas
Hospice
of
humble
provides
grief.
F
Support
services
and
information
to
our
entire
Community,
including
support
groups
and
one-on-one
counseling
and
whereas
Hospice
of
humble
envisions,
a
community
in
which
no
one
dies
alone
or
afraid
and
all
who
grieve
are
comforted.
Hospice
of
humble
encourages
everyone
to
share
their
wishes
with
their
family,
loved
ones
and
Health
Care
Professionals.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
proclaimed
by
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
Arcata
that
November
2022
is
National,
hospice
and
palliative
care
month.
A
H
Our
holiday
spirit
in
our
community
now
therefore
be
proclaimed
by
the
city
council,
the
city
of
Arcata
that
November
26th
through
the
31st
2022
is
the
season
of
Wonder
and
light
in
Arcata,
and
the
council
also
wishes
to
recognize
Arcata
Main
Street
for
its
constant
effort
to
promote
and
enhance
arcata's
identity
economy
and
cultural
Spirits
dated
November
16
2022,
signed
by
mayor
Stacy,
al-azar
and
I.
Don't
think
there's
anyone
here
from
Main
Street,
so
I'm
going
to
accept
it
on
their
behalf,
because
I'm
helping
out
with
different
things
for
the
holiday
event.
B

I
Hello
to
the
Arcata
City
Council
Members,
my
name
is
Gerardo
Hernandez
I'm,
a
Community
member
and
a
student
at
Cal
Poly
humble.
Firstly,
I
want
to
congratulate
council
member
Meredith
Matthews
and
the
planning
commissioner
Kimberly
White
on
being
elected
to
the
Arcata
city
council
I'm,
looking
forward
to
in
the
coming
weeks,
seeing
a
new
city
council,
member
and
I'm
excited
to
seeing
the
Civil
communal
discourse
and
these
Council
meetings.
I
That's
been
quite
missing
from
some
time
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
witnessing
that
when
a
new
city
council
and
in
a
new
year
I
want
to
bring
attention
briefly
on
Florida
city
council
to
just
continue
into
looking
ways
to
address
the
housing
crisis
in
Arcata.
I
know.
We
are
currently
doing
that
right
now
with
the
Gateway
area
plan.
I
But
this
is
just
me
reminding
the
city
council,
members
of
the
importance
of
housing
here
in
Arcata
data
from
the
2020
U.S
census
has
an
estimate
of
34.5
70
of
Arcata
residents
living
in
poverty,
I
believe
in
the
July
I
believe
in
July
and
arcata's
public
engagement
report
on
many
Arcata
residents
voice
on
their
concerns
of
experiencing
housing
discrimination.
One
Community
member
shared
their
experience
of
landlords,
not
returning
their
car,
their
calls
after
seeing
their
name
on
an
application.
We
also
have
on
the
50
enrollment
expansion
of
Cal
Poly
Humboldt
within
the
next
few
years.
I
That
will
exacerbate
the
need
for
housing.
You
know
and
as
I
mentioned
with
the
upcoming
new
year
and
a
upcoming
new
city
council
member
I,
hope
the
judge
continue
to
see
that
the
city
council
find
ways
to
address
and
also
potentially
find
ways
to
continue
their
advocacy
and
helping
Arcata
residents
out
when
it
comes
to
housing,
So
yeah.
Thank
you.
So
much
have
a
good
night.
J
J
We're
hopelessly
behind
on
this
schedule.
David
lawyer
has
said
that
there
have
been
some
revisions,
but
the
revisions
aren't
known
to
the
public
I
request
a
copy
of
the
revisions.
As
they've
been
made.
It's
been
eleven
and
a
half
months
since
draft
plan
came
out
and
there's
been
very
little
progress.
J
An
updated
version
of
the
draft
plan
came
out
on
October
1st
there's
a
problem.
It
only
has
things
that
comport
is
just
the
official
word
or
that
agree
with
the
original
draft
plan.
It
doesn't
have
anything
that
doesn't
agree.
We're
told
that
the
changes
that
don't
agree
are
included
will
or
are
in
a
table.
That's
a
present
tense
verb,
but
we
haven't
seen
the
table.
It's
been
six
weeks.
J
J
J
Karen
Diemer
chaired
that
when,
as
she
was
in
with
Environmental
Services
and
other
than
that,
there
is
a
real
lack
of
progress
on
the
Gateway
plan,
I'm
afraid
to
say,
and
the
they
made
a
list
of
the
topics
that
they
need
to
talk
about.
I
think
it's
going
to
take
18
to
24
months
to
go
through
this
list.
So
something
needs
to
change
in
that
department.
Thanks
very
much.
K
I
can't
forget
the
third
one
and
then
the
CU
is
caring
in
compassion
and
community
and
the
CBD
was
courage,
bravery,
boldness,
decisiveness.
So
those
are
things
I'm.
Looking
forward
to,
can
you
hear
me?
Is
it
coming
through?
Okay,
I'm
looking
forward
to
having
happen
in
our
future,
especially
come
the
new
year,
so
I
have
been
looking
back
at.
K
Looking
back
at
some
of
the
old
videos
that
I
have
participated
in
in
previous
city,
council
makeups
and
it's
been
quite
interesting
and
there
is
one
that
I
will
be
sending
you
with
Mark,
Andre
and
Dolby
class
in
regards
to
the
sewage
treatment
plant
and
their
discussion
about
it.
And
that
was
the
thing
that
was
jogging
my
mind
when
I
attended
and
so
remembering
the
past
and
looking
forward
to
the
future.
Congratulations
to
everyone
and
I'll
be
back.
L
L
I
wasn't
really
planning
to
speak,
but
I
will
just
take
a
moment
because
the
last
few
committee
meetings
I've
been
at
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
about
open
space,
and
so
it
always
brings
me
back
to
the
thoughts
of
the
open
space
on
the
L,
Street
Corridor
and
so
I'll
just
put
one
more
pitch
out
there
for
the
L
Street
Lanier
Park.
There's
a
lot
of
conversation
about
it
and
I.
L
Think
I've
spoke
enough
about
what
it
means
in
terms
of
great
Redwood
Trail
and
the
California
Coastal
Trail,
as
far
as
being
a
main
point
coming
through
Arcata
and
just
hope,
that's
something
you
might
consider
as
a
possibility
of
maybe
designating
that
area
for
a
linear,
Park
and
that's
all
for
now,
but
maybe
talk
at
a
later
time.
Thank
you.
B
B
Thank
you
all
matters
on
the
consent.
Calendar
are
considered
to
be

are
enacted
in

There
is
no
separate

these
items
if
discussion
is
required,
that

is
removed

At

We
have
a
approve
the
minutes
of
the
city
council,
meeting
of
November,
2nd
2022
and
B
a
bi-weekly
report

B
C
H
B
Okay,
all
in
favor,
aye
aye
all
right,
thank
you
that
takes
us
to
new
business.
So
we
have
an
introduction
of
ordinance
number
1561,
which
is
amending
the
Arcata
Municipal
Code
pertaining
to
the
California
building
code
and
companion
codes,
title
eight
building
regulations,
chapter
one
building
codes
articles,
one
through
nine,
eleven
thirteen
and
fourteen
I
believe
we're
going
to
have
a
staff
report
from
our
building
official
Joe
Bishop.
Thank
you.
Joe.
M
Thank
you,
mayor,
hello,
Arcata
Community,
thank
you
mayor
vice
mayor
city,
council
staff
and
Community
for
having
me
here,
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions.
Obviously
present
this
new
ordinance.
This
is
every
three
years
we
present
code
updates
that
are
state
law,
but
it
just
helps
us
locally
to
have
our
city
ordinance
reflect
state
law.
M
One
point
that
was
mentioned
to
me
that
I
need
to
clarify
just
to
make
sure
everybody
knows
that
the
fire
code
portion
of
the
building
code
is
adopted
by
the
fire
department
because
of
the
fact
that
they're
Regional
and
they
don't
have
the
same
boundaries
as
us.
So
that's
the
one
thing
that's
not
included
in
here,
but
that
does
get
adopted
by
the
fire
chief.
H
Well,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
read
it
over
and
because
I
was
curious
to
what
was
happening
with
the
building
codes
for
the
future,
because
there'll
be
three
years
in
place
and
they
always
become
more
stringent,
every
single
time
it
changes.
And
so
there
will
be
some
more
things
to
help
the
Hoops
to
go
through
to
make
it
work.
H
But
I
thought
it
was
good
that
we
have
mass
timber
in
here,
and
that
will
be
an
interesting
thing
for
us
to
be
able
to
deal
with
in
the
future
and
I
think
it'll
help
a
lot
with
new
buildings,
because
you
can
actually
do
so
much
more
and
it
really
works
well
with
fire.
The
fire
department.
They
like
Mass
Timber,.
M
I
agree
and
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up
and
if
anybody
at
any
points
wants
to
discuss
Mass
Timber
I'm,
all
about
it,
it's
a
wonderful
new
has
all
the
benefits
of
the
strength
and
compression
strength
of
concrete,
the
supportive
strength
of
steel
and
rather
than
being
carbon
intensive
to
produce
it's
actually
a
carbon
capturing
product
so
and
I
believe
that
in
the
next,
especially
10,
but
probably
30
years
for
sure
we're
going
to
see
a
lot
of
things
happening
with
that.
So
definitely
let
me
know
if
you
have
questions
on
that.
H
Thank
you
because
Oregon
was
ahead
of
us
now
we're
caught
up
with
Oregon
or
whatever.
However,
you
want
to
say
it
around
Mass
timber
because
they
were
talking
about
it
before
we
had
an
opportunity
to
have
it
as
part
of
our
building,
because
there'll
be
a
lot
more
electrical
Vehicles
requirements
for
buildings.
If
you
have
so
many
units,
Etc
and
that'll
be
well
I.
M
Correct
yes,
new
construction,
especially,
but
there's
also
a
lot
of
Provisions
to
help
encourage
one
of
the
next
ordinances.
You'll,
see
I
believe
in
December.
21St
is
a
specifically
a
electric
vehicle
charging
station
ordinance
that
we're
required
to
present
so
we'll
get
more
opportunity
to
talk
about
that
as
well.
H
B
G
H
Well,
then
I
would
like
to
introduce
ordinance
number
1561
amending
the
Arcata
Municipal
Code
pertaining
to
the
California
building
code
and
companion
codes,
title
5678
and
building
regulations,
chapter
1,
building
codes
and
article
one
through
nine,
eleven
thirteen
and
fourteen
and
I
heard
Nancy,
say
and
wave
reading
of
the
top
reading
of
anything
about
the
title.
I'll.
Second,.
C
B
So
next
we
have
ordinance
number
1560,
which
is
an
ordinance
of
the
city
council
of
the
city,
amending
Solid
Waste
Management,
provisions
of
the
Arcata
municipal
code
to
incorporate
mandatory
organic
waste
disposal
reduction
requirements
and
authorize
a
letter
of
commitment
from
the
city
of
Arcata,
dedicating
flow
control
of
source
separated
Organics.
And
if
we
have
a
staff
report
from
our
Environmental
Services
director,
Emily
sinkhorn,
and
we
have
Emily
benvey.
Also.
So
sorry,
if
you're,
if
it's
you.
N
N
N
N
So
SB
1383
Organics
recycling
primary
goals
are
to
start
to
or
continue
to
move
California
towards
zero
waste,
as
well
as
reducing
methane
gas
emissions
from
landfills,
which
is
the
pollutant
that
contributes
significantly
to
climate
change
for
a
little
bit
of
framing
arcata's
organic
waste.
According
to
the
hwma
waste
characterization
report
from
2021
is
about
2
700
tons
a
year.
So
to
put
it
in
into
context.
N
1383
requires
a
lot
more
than
just
Organics
recycling,
in
other
words,
composting.
There's
a
number
of
of
program
areas
that
cities
are
required
to
come
into
compliance
with,
one
of
which
is
universal,
Organics
collection
services
to
all
businesses
and
Residences,
and
with
that
is
the
Organics
processing.
It
also
requires
establishment
of
an
edible
food
recovery
program,
numerous
education
and
Outreach
components
to
the
broader
Community.
There
are
recyclable
and
recovered
organic
procurement
targets
for
the
municipality
to
meet
securing
access
to
recycling
and
edible
food
recovery
capacity.
N
So
1383
regulations
were
finalized
in
November
of
2020
as
a
refresher
staff
provided
an
overview
of
those
regulations
to
council.
Initially
in
May
of
2020,
we
also
returned
to
Council
in
February
of
2021,
with
our
notification
of
intent
to
comply,
which
essentially
provides
the
city
with
an
additional
year
to
come
into
compliance
and
in
May
of
2022
or
I'm.
Sorry,
I'm
mixing
up
my
ears
guidelines
were
finalized.
November
of
2020,
we
came
in
May
of
2021,
initially
returned
in
February
of
2022.
N
My
how
time
has
flown
returned
in
May
of
2022
to
provide
an
additional
update
on
the
city's
progress
toward
implementing
and
coming
into
compliance
with
1383..
So
we
were
last
here
in
May
here
we
are
in
November,
and
tonight
really
represents
the
first
key
action
that
the
council
is
tasked
with
potentially
making
this
slide
here
shows
a
number
of
the
the
various
steps
toward
compliance.
They
are
all
in
some
way,
shape
or
form
occurring
concurrently.
N
So
we
have
completed
the
organic
waste
recycling
Capacity
Analysis,
that
was
through
Edgar
and
Associates
and
hwma,
as
well
as
the
food
rescue
Capacity
Analysis,
and
that
was
through
that
contract
with
a
subcontract
of
abound
food
care
tonight
before
you
is
the
introduction
of
the
ordinance
which
I'll
get
into
in
a
bit
here,
as
well
as
the
first
step
toward
identification
of
a
short-term
Organics
waste
processing
facility,
which
goes
in
some
ways,
hand
in
hand
with
the
ordinance.
It
is
part
of
the
implementation
of
that
ordinance.
N
N
We
have
an
addition.
We
have
additional
time
to
work
toward
implementation
of
that
ordinance.
So
I
want
to
set
the
stage
to
say
that
while
this
ordinance
will
be
adopted
before
the
end
of
the
year
or
is
required
to
be
adopted
by
the
end
of
the
year,
the
implementation
of
that
ordinance
is
quite
further
down
the
road,
because
we
need
to
develop
the
infrastructure
programs
and
rates
in
order
to
implement
that
ordinance,
and
that
timeline
is
a
bit
delayed.
N
So
in
some
ways
this
might
feel
a
little
bit
of
strange
ordering,
but
the
reality
is
that
it's
a
requirement
coming
down
from
the
state
that
we're
required
to
comply
with,
and
we
can
always
amend
our
ordinance
in
the
future.
Should
the
programs
not
fit
exactly
with
the
ordinance
that
we
have
set
forth
before
you
this
evening,
so
some
key
provisions
of
the
recycling
ordinance
actually
to
frame
to
step
back
and
frame
the
ordinance.
N
Currently,
we
have
Universal
collection
that
is
mandatory
for
garbage
and
recycling
in
the
city
of
Arcata,
so
the
community
has
long
held
a
support
for
Universal
collection
programs
that
was
adopted
in
2009,
and
so
this
ordinance
repeals
and
replaces
and
adds
the
provisions
required
to
comply
with
1383..
However,
that
being
said,
the
existing
garbage
and
recycling
provisions
of
the
ordinance
today
are
wrapped
into
this
new
ordinance.
So
they
don't
really
change
substantially.
It's
just
a
more
it's.
N
A
cleaner
way
to
amend
the
municipal
code
is
to
bring
a
new
ordinance
rather
than
piecemealing
it
together.
So
just
wanted
to
point
out
the
mechanism
there
a
little
bit
so
the
key
Provisions
that
are
new
are
adding
the
organic
waste
to
the
three
bin
curbside
collection
system
or
adding
a
third
bin.
In
other
words,
we
have
proposed
some
revisions
to
the
waiver
or
opt-out
eligibility,
namely
that
would
be
the
removal
of
the
as
we
term
at
zero
waste
opt
out
and
I
can
get
into
the
specifics
of
the.
Why?
N
Behind
that,
if
there's
interest
from
the
council
as
well
as
one
of
our
opt-out
Provisions,
is
that
if
a
parcel
is
vacant
for
two
months
out
of
the
calendar
year,
they're
not
required
to
subscribe
to
Universal
collection,
we
felt
that
four
months
out
of
the
calendar
year
felt
more
appropriate
for
that
vacancy
timeline.
The
other
opt-out
Provisions
include
part
specif,
parcel
specific
site
constraints
as
well
as
uninhabited
or
unimproved
parcels.
N
In
addition
to
that,
the
ordinance
establishes
Community
compost
operators,
as
the
ordinance
is
written
right
now
there
is
flexibility
for
carving
carving
out
Community
compost
operators
to
exist
within
our
broader
organic
waste
collection
system.
Exactly
how
that
will
look,
isn't
something
that
would
be
managed
on
the
ordinance
level,
but
that
will
really
come
more
as
we're
working
with
our
current
franchise
hauler
in
developing
programs
and
rolling
that
out.
N
So
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
right
now
the
ordinance
is
quite
Broad
and
we
expect
the
specifics
to
be
flushed
out
further
as
we
get
into
our
franchise
agreement
negotiation
processes.
In
addition,
there
are
business
and
multi-family
requirements
around
container
limit
container
labeling
contamination,
inspections
and
education.
N
So
I
just
really
want
to
emphasize
that
there
won't
be
felt
changes
in
the
near
term.
The
ordinance
does
allow
for
what
is
termed
the
phase-in
of
mandatory
programs.
So
as
these
pieces
come
online,
we're
able
to
phase
them
in
so
it
won't
necessarily
be
a
everything
or
nothing,
and
our
intent
is
to
really
work
with
residents
and
businesses
to
provide
them
ample
time
and
education
to
understand
the
impacts
of
the
changes
of
impact.
The
implementation
of
the
ordinance
as
time
moves
on
so
going
back
to
this
tile
of
steps
towards
compliance.
N
I
I
spoke
pretty
heavily
on
the
ordinance
piece.
Another
item
before
you
tonight
is
a
letter
of
commitment
for
flow
control
for
hwma
and
that
that
ties
in
with
the
ordinance,
because
it
is
one
piece
of
a
key
component
of
developing
the
necessary
Organics
processing
infrastructure
to
be
able
to
process
Organics
county-wide.
N
It's
really
imperative
that
they
have
what's
called
flow
controller.
They
have
some
commitment
of
tonnage
from
the
jurisdictions
such
that
they're
able
to
develop
a
cost-effective
program.
So
what
that
could
look
like
is
the
Organics
would
be
collected
at
the
curb
and
delivered
to
hwma
in
Eureka.
Hwma
would
separate
any
material
like
I
said
that
could
be
processed
locally.
So,
for
example,
green
waste
right
now
is
able
to
be
processed
in
county
and
then
the
remainder
would
be
transferred
out
of
County
to
be
fully
processed,
in
other
words
likely
composted
for
that
final
processing.
N
So
the
mechanism
to
provide
the
a
piece
of
the
mechanism
to
provide
flow
control
would
be
this
letter
of
commitment
from
the
city
council
of
Arcata,
and
that
would,
from
there
be
brought
into
a
joint
Powers
Authority
agreement.
Joint
Powers
Authority
agreement,
amendment
that
formalizes
the
contractual
obligation
and
agreement
of
Arcata
designating
its
Organics
To
hwma.
N
One
other
element
that
I
wanted
to
highlight
in
in
Broad
Strokes,
for
SB
1383
and
in
particular
to
this
ordinance
is
the
community
engagement
component
in
an
Ideal
World.
We
would
have
had
months
and
months
and
months
to
be
able
to
educate
the
community
about
this
ordinance
and
what's
coming
and
what
to
and
what
to
expect.
N
If
there
are
inconsistencies
or
amendments
that
are
required
that
we
make
to
the
ordinance,
we
can
always
come
back
and
make
revisions.
That
being
said,
we
have
conducted
some
key
community
outreach.
We
have
held
meetings
with
key
stakeholders,
including
zero
waste
humbles,
current
small-scale
composting
operations,
as
well
as
being
very
regularly
engaged
with
the
other
municipalities
in
Humboldt
County
at
large
to
understand
how
different
municipalities
are
approaching
ordinances
and
finding
consistencies
and
sharing
resources
as
we're
able.
N
In
addition,
we
have
undergone
significant
business
Outreach
with
regard
to
1383
in
in
Broad
Strokes,
as
well
as
with
the
food
recovery
Provisions
that
will
be
forthcoming.
That
was
started
early
with
our
food,
our
calorie
cycle,
food,
waste
prevention
and
rescue
grants
that
we
received
in
2019
and
that
ran
through
2021
contracted
with
zero
waste,
humble
to
educate
businesses
on
the
general
provisions
of
1383
and
what
to
expect,
though,
certainly
not
knowing
the
specifics
or
the
timeline
and
then
part
of
a
bound
food
care
through
Edgar
and
Associates.
N
Work
was
also
to
do
additional
education
and
Outreach
as
part
of
their
food
rescue,
Capacity
Analysis
efforts.
So
most
commercial
generators
do
have
food
recovery
systems
in
place,
or
at
least
in
mind,
and,
and
there
are,
there
are
going
to
be
additional
tracking
and
Reporting
pieces
that
businesses
will
need
to
start
and
that
will
be
new,
but
in
general
the
foundation
has
been
laid
by
and
large
for
local
businesses
starting
to
donate,
edible
food.
N
N
N
F
I
F
N
It's
a
great
question,
so
Recology
provides
services
to
a
number
of
jurisdictions
in
the
county.
There's
also
Tom's
trash
out
of
Willow,
Creek
and
humsan
out
of
McKinleyville.
Think
that
that
covers
all
of
our
haulers
I
do
know.
Recology
provides
services
to
parts
of
the
county,
not
all
of
the
county
unincorporated
areas
they
provide
service
to
City
of
Eureka
as
well
as
city
of
fortuna
and
other
small
municipalities,
and
so
we
have
been
meeting
on
Municipal
staff
levels
of
all
these
various
jurisdictions
to
kind
of
think
through.
C
Yeah
I
will
just
say
you
know:
I
don't
have
questions
because
I've
been
living
this
for
the
past
year
and
a
half
on
the
board
of
hwma
I
will
say
that
I'm
really
glad
that
I'm
seeing
something
finally
come
before
us.
It's
nice
to
see
some
action
being
taken,
I
really
appreciated
how,
through
this
project,
the
municipalities
have
been
really
working
together.
C
C
H
N
It
has
not
completely
disappeared.
That
was
something
that
Edgar
and
Associates
had
included
in
their
road
map,
their
SB
1383
compliance
roadmap,
so
I
think
it
I
think
it
is
still
being
considered
on
some
level
and
I
would
really
look
toward
hwma
staff
to
talk
through
the
specifics
of
where
that
might
be,
and
and
sort
of
the
potential
feasibility
of
that
I.
N
Think
in
the
short
term,
really
what
we
need
to
do
is
be
able
to
process
our
Organics
quickly
to
comply
with
regulatory
deadlines
and
the
development
of
something
like
an
anaerobic
digester
would
take
a
lot
longer.
So
it's
not
to
say
it
could
never
happen.
It's
just
that.
It
wouldn't
be
feasible
to
develop
that
in
County
to
process
that
material
in
the
near
term,
and
so
we're
looking
toward
this
near
to
mid-term
term
out
of
County
hauling.
N
H
I
just
remember:
there
was
a
lot
going
on
then,
when
I
was
serving
on
that
board,
so
I
went
I,
I,
look
at
it
as
four
cans.
Some
people
have
green
waste
and
then
they
have
Recycling
and
they
have
garbage,
and
now
they
have
compost.
And
then
some
of
us
are
involved
with
the
local
worm
guy
or
at
least
I
am
and
I
have
been,
probably
for
the
last
three
years
and
I
see
that
I
know
that
you're
working
with
all
of
them.
So
what
happens
with
that
sure.
N
N
Is
a
terrible
job.
The
the
Organics,
the
pre-processing
facility
at
hwma
is
essentially
serving
that
purpose.
So
a
resident
would
have
their
green
waste
in
their
green
bin.
They
would
have
bagged
food
waste
within
that
to
separate
keep
the
green
waste
clean
and
green.
That
goes
to
our
local
Greenways
processor,
currently
West
Green
and
then
the
food
waste
gets
trucked
out
of
County.
N
How
that
is
actually
going
to
look
specifically
is
still
to
be
fleshed
out
with
hwma
staff
as
they
develop
their
pre-processing
with
our
local
operations,
as
well
as
with
our
franchise,
hauler
and
then.
Similarly,
the
the
community
compost
piece
is
another
element
that
the
ordinance
is
quite
flexible
right
now
for
how
exactly
that
piece
gets
carved
out
and
those
conversations
would
really
be
had
at
the
franchise
agreement,
program,
development
and
negotiation
piece
of
the
process.
Well,.
H
And
so
you
know,
I'm
hoping
that
we'll
find
someone
that'll
be
a
poster
child
in
Arcata
for
a
development
that
will
have
no
garbage,
disposals
and
they'll,
be
all
into
compost
Etc
to
make
that
work.
But
Eureka
had
a
trial
program
for
a
number
of
years
ago,
where
they
collected
restaurant
waste
and
they
processed
it
and
I'm.
Assuming
that
research
is
being
used
for
this
whole
program
and
then
that
closed
they
had
I,
don't
know
how
long
they
had
that
I.
H
I
would
assume
green
waste
if
you're
going
to
put
the
two
together.
There
was
a
time
where
we
had
split
bins
in
Arcata,
where
you
put
your
glass
on
one
side
and
your
paper
and
cardboard
on
the
other
side
and
I.
Don't
know
if
we'd
have
split
bins
this
time,
but
then,
when
you
had
to
slip
in
and
you
toss
it
into
a
garbage
truck,
it
was
no
longer
split.
Even
though
you
worked
really
hard
to
make
sure
everything
was
perfect.
H
H
I,
remember
it
all
and
and
I
remember
what
it
was
like
and
how
we
how
we
went
from
one
one
system
well
from
the
recycling
center
to
then
we
had
bins
at
home,
and
then
we
went
to
we
just
kept
going
until
we
got
into
everything
mashed
together.
So
I'm
really
curious
about
how
this
is
going
to
work
with
green
wasting
and
compost
together
and
I've
heard
people
talking
about.
Oh
we're
going
to
just
dump
it
all
together.
It'll
just
be
fine
fine
for
us,
but
not
fine
for
the
processor
yeah.
N
I
will
speak
generally
to
just
the
questions
of
well.
We
have
three
bins
or
four:
will
they
be
split?
What
size
will
they
be?
Will
there
be
bags
of
food
waste
in
the
green
waste
and
the
item
before
you
this
evening?
The
ordinance
is
Broad
and
flexible
enough
that
it
allows
us
to
work
with
Recology
and
hwma
and
Community
stakeholders
to
determine
those
program.
Specifics
that
make
the
most
sense
for
our
community
our
intent.
N
We
actually
had
our
first
pick
off
meeting
official
kickoff
meeting
with
rickology
and
really
digging
into
potential
SB
1383
program
compliance,
Pathways
and
really
our
intent
is
to
work
collaboratively
to
develop
the
most
appropriate,
cost-effective
programs,
drawing
on
that
Statewide
expertise,
because
there's
a
lot
of
jurisdictions
that
are
further
ahead
than
the
city
of
Arcata.
You
know
in
our
more
populated
areas,
so
we
can.
We
can
pull
from
some
lessons
learned
and
best
practices
to
develop
programs
that
work
for
our
community.
Someone.
H
N
The
Eureka
recycling
center
is
currently
closed
and
the
reason
for
that
is
that
is
where
this
Organics
pre-processing
facility
will
is
slated
to
be
developed.
So
individuals
can
still
bring
their
household
recyclings
along
with
their
trash
and
process
that,
but
all
those
special
special
recyclable
materials.
Those
currently
need
to
be
recycled
at
other
locations
in
the
county,
and
there
is
information
on
the
city
website
and
the
hwma
website
of
what
what
materials
can
go
where,
while
that
Eureka
recycling
center
is
closed,
while
it's
being
repurposed
for
pre-processing
facility,
I.
C
I
just
want
to
say
just
because
I've
been
living.
You
know
going
over
this
for
a
year
that
ever
since
I've
seen
the
presentation
about
how
much
food
is
actually
thrown
away,
has
really
made
me
aware
of
the
amount
of
waste
that
my
family
generates,
and
hopefully
this
will
make
people
a
little
bit
more
engaged
with.
You
know
what
they're
actually
using
and
how
much
they're
buying
and
just
be
really
aware
of
your
waist
and
bring
a
little
bit
of
light
to
that.
So
thanks
Emily.
H
H
So
I
think
something
we're
going
to
have
to
look
at
is
how,
if
you
put
all
your
bins
inside
which
a
lot
of
places
do
have
that
what
kind
of
air
circulation
compost
is
not
going
to
smell
good
if
it
only
gets
picked
up
once
a
week,
so
you
know
I
think
that's
something
in
the
as
far
as
the
buildings
are
concerned,
we're
going
to
have
to
think
about
that
I'm.
Sorry,.
F
P
P
Yeah
in
the
ordinance
that
you
just
before
this
item
introduced
the
building
code
update
part
of
part
11
of
Title
24
is
what's
called
the
Cal
green
standards,
and
that
includes
all
kinds
of
requirements
that
Joe's
still
here
he's
not
all
kinds
of
requirements
specifically
associated
with
the
composting
and
Recycling
and
space
requirements
for
containers
and
then
also
in
part.
11
is
the
model
landscape,
water
efficiency,
no
I'm,
sorry
model
efficient
landscape,
water.
P
Model
water,
landscape
efficiency,
ordinance
which,
which
requires
mulching
and
use
of
of
composted
materials
as
well
for
for
gardening,
and
so
all
of
those
are
already
being
implemented
by
the
city
and
those
are
also
part
of
the
sort
of
SB
1383
Targets
in
general.
So
much
broader
than
just
this
ordinance
is
is
already
being
implemented.
B
Thank
you.
I
just
have
a
few
things.
One
I
from
all
I
agree
with
council
member
Matthews,
and
just
in
talking
about
it
all
the
time,
it
really
does
make
you
more
conscious
of
what
you're
doing,
but
I've
just
been
cooking,
less
and
blaming
it
on
my
family
of
wasting
food.
So
you
might
try
that
you
know
so
there's
that,
but
also
some
of
you
like
may
have
noticed
like
we're
doing
all
this
and
then
we're
Trucking
it
out
like
yeah.
B
So
I
will
be
bringing
that
up
in
that
meeting.
As
well
as
other
things
and
then
I
just
had
a
point
of
curiosity-
and
it
might
be
too
early
for
this-
and
it's
not
directly
about
the
ordinance
so
I
know
that
but
I've
just
been
personally
curious
when
we're
talking
about
edible
food
recovery
about
how
that
works
in
general.
Just
knowing
that,
like
in
the
food
industry
I
know
that's
a
very
tricky
part
of
their
business
model.
So
how
do
you
you
don't
plan
to
waste
food
in
the
first
place?
N
Yes,
coincidentally,
today
we
were
meeting
with
a
representative
from
San
Mateo
County.
That
county
has
been
doing
county-wide,
edible
food
recovery
and
they
were
speaking
a
little
bit
to
the
Humboldt
County
group
about
that
piece
exactly
and
it
really
varies:
they're
just
starting
their
inspection
process
and
they're,
starting
their
inspections,
fairly
informally,
to
understand
sort
of
the
landscape
of
of
excess
food
and
what
they're
finding
is?
N
It
really
varies
business
by
business,
so,
for
example,
they're
finding
that
Trader
Joe's
has
thousand
pounds
every
week
or
so
mainly
of
produce
that
they
donate
to
food
recovery
and
then
they'll
see
other
entities
like
Safeway
who
back
halls
a
lot
of
or
most
of
their
unsold
food
and
that's
different
than
edible
food
recovery
and
trying
to
understand
how
back
hauling
fits
into
the
landscape.
Other
businesses
will
donate
excess
food
to
their
employees,
and
so
they
end
up.
N
There
are
provisions
on
1383
for
back
hauling
and
donating
excess
food
to
their
employees,
where
I
think
it's
a
waiver
but
I
I
can't
recall
top
of
Mind
exactly
that
mechanism.
So
all
that
is
to
say
that
the
the
landscape
for
excess
food
really
does
vary
business
by
business
as
far
as
how
they're
dealing
with
it.
N
How
much
there
is
some
businesses
are
really
good
at
waste
prevention
in
the
first
place,
others,
you
know
don't
have
their
purchasing
quite
as
tightened
up
the
work
that
we
had
contracted
zero
waste,
humble
to
do
under
our
California
food
waste
prevention
and
rescue
Grant,
actually
included
site
visits
to
every
single
business,
to
assist
them
with
waste
prevention,
as
well
as
understand
how
they
could
minimize
potentially
donatable
food.
So
so
that's
a
long
answer.
It
is
complex.
It
is
it's
pretty
unique
and
varied.
N
The
regulations
do
require
that
tier
one
and
tier
2
generators,
and
they
can
get
into
that
definition.
If
there's
interest
they
do
require
that
businesses
of
certain
scales
enter
into
do
do
edible
food
recovery
unless
they're
exempts
because
they're
not
generating
any
excess
food,
they're
back,
hauling
or
they're
donating
all
their
food.
You
know
in-house
to
their
employees
if
they
don't
meet
any
of
those
exemptions.
They
are
required
to
donate
their
edible
food
to
a
food
recovery
organization,
and
that
is
actually
required
for
1383
to
be
a
contractual
agreement.
N
So
it
is
a
new.
You
know
it's
a
practice.
That's
very
common.
Most
businesses
already
are
engaging
in
Arcata
in
some
form
of
Food
donation.
We
learned
that
from
zero
waste,
humble
food
capacity
assessment,
as
well
as
from
a
bound
food
care
which
is
great.
We
have
a
really
robust
food
recovery,
Network
and
Food
donation
practices.
I
think
it's
just
the
the
regulatory
components
will
be
new
for
businesses,
but
fortunately,
we've
got
a
good
foundation
to
build
from.
B
That
just
seems
like
the
hardest
part
to
me.
How
do
you
you
know?
How
do
you
plan
for
that,
but
it
sounds
like
they're
already
doing
it.
So
that's
good
we've
taken
up
a
lot
of
the
time,
so
how
about
let's
hear
from
the
public?
Do
we
have
folks
that
are
wanting
to
comment
on
this
yeah
so
we'll
go
to
in-person
people
first,
so
go
ahead
and
just
line
up
at
the
podium,
just
whoever
whoever
gets
there
first.
Q
Ready
Cool
hi,
my
name
is
Isaac
West
I
am
a
founding
member
of
full
cycle
compost,
one
of
the
local
community
composting
organizations,
I
also
work
for
the
city,
doing
the
community
ambassador
program
and
I'm.
Just
here
to
kind
of
you
know,
we
pretty
much
agree
with
everything.
Emily
is
saying.
We
really
appreciate
that
there
is
some
flexibility
for
Community
composters.
We
are
pretty
much
a
drop
in
the
bucket
compared
to
the
franchise
agreement.
So
in
regards
to
that
there
is,
you
know
we
do
about
26
tons
per
year.
Q
You
know
it's
estimated
that
Arcata
produces
about
2600
tons
per
year,
so
we're
thinking
okay
in
this
franchise
agreement,
we're
we're
hoping
that
Recology
is
going
to
allow
us
to.
You
know,
see
us
as
not
really
a
major
competitor
and
that
we
can
be
what's
going
to
be
called
an
authorized
hauler.
So
we
think
it's
really
important
as
a
small
business
that
you
guys
keep
Article
2
Section
5410a
in
the
ordinance.
Just
you
know,
don't
get
rid
of
that.
Please,
because
that's
the
part
where
we
can
become
an
authorized
hauler,
and
so
we
see
ourselves.
Q
You
know
we
are
already
out
there
doing
this.
We've
been
hauling
compost
for
two
years
on
a
bicycle,
and
you
know
the
motivation
behind
SP
1383
is
we're
trying
to
reduce
methane
emissions,
and
so
you
said
about
you
know,
we're
taking
all
this
food
waste
and
then
we're
hauling
out
of
County,
which
we
will
hopefully
not
do
that
in
the
future.
Q
Q
But
that's
you
know
we
are
here
to
help
and
we're
all
on
the
same
side
and
I
just
really
want
to
make
sure
that
and
I
think
you
know,
Emily's
got
this
covered,
but
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that
you
know
there's
going
to
be
potentially
a
mandatory
subscription
for
your
trash
like
we
see
this
third
bin
and
if
that
third
bin
is
mandatory,
it
needs
to
be
made
sure
that
you
know.
If
you
have
a
full
cycle
compost
subscription,
you
don't
also
have
to
pay
for
your
third
bin.
Q
You
know
it's
one
or
the
other,
or
if
you
have
a
you
know,
you
can
prove
that
you're
going
to
a
community
garden
and
paying
to
drop
off
your
Foods
waste
there.
You
shouldn't
also
have
to
pay
for
a
third
bin.
So
you
know
there
just
needs
to
be
a
way
to
make
sure
that
we
are,
you
know
not
making
people
pay
double,
because
then
we're
economically
motivating
people
to
not
do
community
composting
and
I'm,
not
saying
that
this
is
how
the
ordinance
is
written.
K
K
I
often
remember
what
Julia
butterfly
said,
often
when
I
would
hear
her
speak
both
in
the
tree
and
afterwards,
when
she
came
to
my
community
and
was
talking
about
throwing
things
away
and
we
can't
keep
throwing
things
away
and
you
know
keeping
things
in
our
community
in
a
circular
way.
So
what
we
do
here
in
Arcata
and
in
Humboldt,
let's
make
it
revolutionary
and
stand
out
and
and
not
just
you
know,
haul
garbage
and
make
it
easy
for
people
and
I'm
a
poor
person
and
I
am
in
a
small
rental
unit.
K
You
know
if
there's
five
units
in
the
the
building
I
live
in,
and
we
have
two
big,
recycle
bins
and
two
big
garbage
bins
and
I'm,
trying
to
get
our
whole
building
to
reduce
the
need
for
two
bins
of
each
and
I.
Don't
want
to
have
our
landlord
have
to
pay
for
a
third
bin
and
then
raise
my
rent.
You
know,
so
we
really
need
to
find
alternatives
to
this
model
of
the
third
bin
and
paying
for
it
and
having
it
hauled
away.
K
A
B
R
R
As
the
discussion
for
this
ordinance
continues
throughout
this
council
meeting,
we
at
the
North,
Course
North,
sorry
North,
Coast,
Environmental,
Center
implore,
the
council
to
consider
further
actions
and
implementations
on
ordinance
1560
within
the
city
of
Arcata.
The
hwma
and
other
local
affiliates
have
been
working
on
compliance
roadmaps
and
food
recovery
initiatives
on
behalf
of
the
county.
R
But
with
that
said,
access
to
a
regional,
green
waste
processing
facility
will
not
be
available
to
the
general
public
until
late
2023.,
if
permits
for
the
transition
of
the
Hawthorne
transfer
station
are
approved,
and
that
is
if
things
go
according
to
plan
the
resident.
The
residents
of
Arcata
cannot
wait
this
long.
R
With
this
being
said,
the
residents
of
Arcata
cannot
fully
rely
on
the
notion
of
self-subsidation
of
the
processing
and
management
of
their
food
waste.
According
to
the
2020
U.S
census,
the
median
household
income
for
Arcata
is
38
603,
along
with
a
34.5
percent
of
the
City's
population
living
in
poverty.
The
growing
cost
of
living
have
made
this
difficult
for
those
who
have
for
those
to
have
access
to
Organics
collection
services
along
this.
R
R
As
residents
of
Arcata,
we
are
asking
the
city
of
Arcata
to
follow
other
cities
and
providing
low-cost
or
free
at
home
composting
kits
or
bins,
and
green
waste
processing
Services
as
a
means
to
Bridging
the
equity
gap
between
residents
and
composting
incentivizing
and
encouraging
small
community
composting.
Businesses
is
another
way
to
speed
up
compliance
in
the
event
that
a
regional
facility
takes
longer
than
expected
to
come
to
fruition.
R
The
Arcata
city
council
should
consider
further
investment
in
integration
of
ordinance
number
1560
within
Arcata
jurisdiction.
Such
ordinance
implementation
would
allow
our
community
to
steer,
steer
towards
SB
1383
compliance,
reduce
our
methane
emission
footprint
and
even
act
as
the
model
city
of
compliance
within
Humboldt
County.
Thank
you.
S
S
S
S
Think
it's
long
past
due
and
I
think
my
dad
would
be
proud
that
I
got
up
here
and
talked
about
compost
but
and
I
just
gave
away
two
five
gallon
buckets
of
compost
to
a
friend
yesterday,
so
she
was
really
happy
to
go
home
to
her
garden
with
it.
So
anyways.
Thank
you
for
implementing
this
through
the
with
the
city.
Thanks.
L
Yeah
I
can
attest
I've
Heard
lots
of
stories
from
Jim
combianic
about
compost,
okay,
guys,
yeah,
amazing,
yeah
I.
Just
think
that
a
lot
of
Creative
Solutions
have
been
mentioned
here,
because
I
don't
think
hauling
it
all
away.
Is
the
end-all
and
I
think
Arcata
tends
to
go
with
Creative
Solutions
to
solve
problems,
and
we
have
two
25
gallon
tumblers
and,
like
Patricia,
said
over
the
last
20
years
we've-
and
this
is
just
for
me
personally,
because
I
think
a
lot
of
businesses.
L
A
lot
of
homes
are
going
to
really
benefit
from
this
and
getting
it
out
of
the
trash
and
getting
into
the
processing
facility.
It's
just
I
think
probably
a
little
problematic.
It's
going
so
far
away,
but
I
do
think
if
some
people
are
generating
their
compost
at
home
and
and
solving
that
solution.
Maybe
if
you
decided-
and
you
just
need
a
little
fee
or
something
to
just
support
the
whole
program,
but
I
don't
know
if
they
should
all
be
subjected
to
the
full.
L
You
know
cost
of
it
because,
like
I
say
we
have
these
two
tumblers
and
honestly
we're
probably
about
a
year
or
less
away
from
retiring
from
our
business
and
we'll
keep
employing
those
and
I
think
it'd
be
just
kind
of
cool.
If
we
do
have
some
neighborhood
Solutions
and
I
like
the
what's
full
cycle,
Compass
is
doing
North,
Coast,
Environmental
Center,
you
know
pressing
toward
keeping
it
local
and
having
these
Solutions
so
hopefully
maybe
be
creative
in
this
whole
process,
and
not
just
the
one
thing
actually
I.
Thank
you
appreciate
that.
Thank.
J
J
It's
in
the
humor
section.
I'll
tell
you
why
in
a
second,
but
it
has
to
do
with
recycling
in
South
Korea
they
have.
It
has
been
illegal
to
send
food
waste
to
the
dump
there
since
2006.,
it's
mostly
Urban.
Every
apartment
has
a
kiosk
in
the
parking
lot
where
they
have
disposable
biodegradable
bags
and
a
disposal
bin
right
there
so
make
it
very
easy
for
the
occupants
of
the
apartment.
J
A
C
Then
I
would
like
to
make
motion
to
introduce
ordinance
number
1560,
an
ordinance
to
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
Arcata
emitting
solid
waste
management
management
provisions
of
the
Arcata
municipal
code
to
incorporate
mandatory
organic
waste
disposal
reduction
requirements,
way
of
reading
of
the
text
and
consent
to
read
by
title
only
and
authorize
a
letter
of
commitment
from
the
city
of
Arcata.
Dedicating
flood
control
to
Source
separated
Organics.
H
And
and
before
I
vote
I,
just
you
know
I'm
sitting
here,
thinking
about
where
am
I
going
to
put.
This
can
not
not
at
my
own
house
but
am
I
going
to
have
to
start
cutting
my
hedges
down
in
order
to
have
two
garbage
cans:
two
recycling
bins
now
a
compost
bin
and
in
one
property,
I'm
thinking,
that's
probably
what
I'm
going
to
have
to
do
in
order
to
accommodate
that
then
I'm
thinking
downtown.
Where
am
I
going
to
put
this?
H
It's
it's!
You
know
you
Pro
Plan,
when
you,
when
I
built
some
20
years
ago,
I
planned
how
many
things
I
could
get
in
there
now
I
I'm,
not
too
sure
how
and
I
think
that's
going
to
be
a
struggle
for
people.
Anyway,
it's
going
to
be
a
struggle
for
me
to
figure
out
without
taking
out
a
whole.
You
know
good
portion
of
a
hedge
of
probably
about
eight
feet.
N
Yeah
I
can
speak
briefly
to
that
to
say
that
we
are
thinking
about
that
same
challenge.
We
do
not
yet
have
a
solution,
but
it
is
something
that
we've
certainly
been
giving
thought
to.
There
is
a
waiver
in
the
ordinance
before
you
tonight
that
does
allow
for
space
constraints,
so
not
to
say
that
that
waiver
would
necessarily
be
intended
to
be
broadly
applied,
but
there
is
a
mechanism
for
those
really
challenging
situations.
Our
intent
is
to
work
with
our
haulers
to
develop
a
system
that
really
does
take
into
consideration.
H
No,
it
does
with
that
and
I'm
just
thinking
how
am
I
going
to
put
this
together
with
the
worm?
Well,
I
use
the
local
worm.
Guy
I
haven't
I'm,
not
using
you,
because
I
was
using
them
before
you
came
along
so
so
anyhow
anyway.
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that,
because
I'm
sitting
here
thinking
about
that,
okay,
it's
another
challenge:
I
wrote
yes,
foreign.
B
That
would
explain:
whoa
Joann's,
frantic
gestures
at
me,
I
was
like
am
I,
saying
something
wrong.
Okay,
so
I'll
say
that
again,
both
council
member
Stillman
and
myself
have
to
recuse
ourselves
on
this
agenda
item,
so
that
would
only
leave
two
council
members
which
is
not
a
quorum,
so
we'll
have
to
push
this
off
into
a
future
agenda
when
we
will
have
a
full
five
Folks
up
here.
B
So
unfortunately,
we
won't
be
able
to
get
to
that
tonight,
and
so
that
will
take
us
to
our
last
opportunity
for
public
participation,
which
is
this
is
the
open
chance
for
public
input
again.
The
city
appreciates
public
input
and
this
time
is
provided
for
people
to
address
the
council
or
submit
written
Communications
on
matters
that
are
not
on
the
agenda.
So
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.
B
At
the
end
of
all
oral
and
written
Communications,
the
council
May
respond
to
statements
supported
requests
that
require
Council
action
will
be
set
by
the
council
for
a
future
agenda
or
referred
to
staff
and
speakers
addressing
the
council
are
limited
to
three
minutes.
So
we'll
go
ahead
and
start
with
folks
that
are
here
in
person.
J
Okay,
I
got
it.
Okay,
I'll
speak
a
little
bit
now
and
I'll
speak
more
when
it
is
on
the
agenda.
I
want
to
be
clear,
I'm
extremely,
very
much
in
favor
of
increasing
our
budget
for
Gateway
oriented
products,
but
there's
something
really
wrong
with
this.
I
urged
the
Commissioners
who
are
involved
in
this
or
excuse
me,
the
council,
members
to
carefully
read
it
I've
written
a
long
article
on
a
caterone.com
that
I
urge
you
to
read.
There's
a
problem.
J
There's
lots
of
problems
I
like
to
see
the
problems
corrected
I'd
like
David
Lloyd,
to
be
present
when
we
do
have
this
on
the
agenda
I'm
all
in
favor
of
the
having
more
money.
But
this
is
for
meetings
it's
not
for
products,
it's
not
for
the
actual
form-based
code
and
includes
something
like
thirty
thousand
dollars
for
graphics.
J
For
meetings,
I
like
to
see
that
money
spent
on
the
actual
form-based
code
and
I
say
else,
I
can
speak
more
when
it
actually
is
on
the
agenda
item,
but
when
I,
when
I
urge
people
to
go
to
arcata1.com
I
want
to
reinforce
that
I.
Don't
know,
there's
no
mechanism
for
me
to
see
who
comes
to
the
website.
I
set
it
up
that
way
on
purpose.
There's
no
sign
in
you
can
come
and
go.
I
wouldn't
know.
Okay
in
terms
of
the
the
draft
plan
to
get
the
draft
Gateway
plan.
J
I
also
want
to
note
that
there's
a
blank
page
for
visualizations
in
the
original
plan,
we
are
supposed
to
have
3D
modeling
now,
but
there's
no
there's
still
no
visualizations.
There
I
think
that's
a
real
missing
element
and,
as
I
said
before,
I
really
look
forward
to
having
all
the
Alternatives
in
in
print
on
that
plan,
including
the
long-awaited
alternative
to
the
lnk
street
couplet,
which
is
referred
to
as
Plan
B,
which
is
the
transportation
Safety
Committee
has
been
asking
for
since
January
11
months
or
10
months
ago,
thanks
good
night.
K
Always
got
to
bring
a
prop
to
the
podium.
So
again
my
name
is
Joanna
Gary
and
the
first
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
was
a
while
ago,
I
keep
hearing
this
mic
going
off.
It's
very
strange:
okay,
okay,
so
I
did
bring
up
a
few
meetings
ago.
Appreciating
the
acknowledgment
that
is
read
at
the
beginning
of
the
meetings
and
suggested
that
it
might
be
a
really
nice
thing
for
the
city
hall
to
have
a
written
version
of
that
available
for
the
public
to
see
and
know
about.
K
K
There's
a
lot
of
things
in
about
the
city
that
a
lot
of
people
in
the
city
don't
know
about,
and
so
I
am
taking
it
upon
myself,
because
I
really
care
about
a
lot
of
these
issues
to
really
talk
about
it
out
loud
and
share
with
people
and
model,
even
as
I
can
so.
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
is
this
food
container
thing
that's
going
to
go
into
effect.
I
am
really
excited
about
it
and
I'm
going
to
really
kind
of
promote
it.
K
You
know
on
the
streets
so
to
speak
and
maybe
even
find
a
way
that
we
can
do
a
little
fundraising
for
people
non-profits
in
the
community
to
purchase
some
reusable
containers
such
as
this
one
to
benefit
their
non-profit
and
to
give
people,
maybe
even
as
soon
as
the
holidays.
You
know
the
present
of
present
of
a
really
reliable
to
go
container
that
people
won't
freak
out
about.
K
In
terms
of
you
know,
it
came
from
my
house,
and
you
know
something
like
this
might
be
a
more
uniform
type
thing
so
I'm
just
suggesting
something
night
like
that
and
I
picked
up
in
Eureka
today.
The
latest
issue
of
the
North
Coast
journal
and
read
about
all
of
you
there
on
the
diocese
making
history
and
it's
a
really
great
article
and
I,
really
really
look
forward
to
watching
you
proceed
and
I
will
be
watching
and
I
wish
you
all
the
best.
K
It
is
history
and
I
think
you
can
be
the
all-woman
council
as
the
climate
Action
Council
as
well.
So
thank
you
for
your
dedication
and
your
work.
I
know
it's
not
an
easy
job.
Mine
isn't
either,
though
so,
but
I
think
we
both
we
all
enjoy
doing
what
we
can
to
help
this
community
and
our
planet.
So
thank
you.
C
A
H
If
there's
no
staff
reports
is
right.
Okay,
so
you
know,
I've
been
thinking
about
this,
and
I
am
hoping
that
we
can
look
at
this
next
year
for
the
Planning,
Commission
and
and
the
council
can
come
and
sit
if
they
wish
to
or
whatever,
but
that
we
have
presentations
for
each
Planning
Commission,
possibly
about
20
minutes
before
on
various
topics.
So
one
is
I
would
really
like
to
have
our
building
official
speak
to
the
Planning
Commission
about
the
new
codes
that
the
building
codes
that
we
have.
H
So
they
understand
them,
because
some
of
the
planning
Commissioners
didn't
realize
that
we're
going
into
new
building
codes
as
of
January,
1st
and
I.
Think
it's
beholden
for
them
to
understand
that
the
second
thing
is
I
think
it's
really
important
for
them
to
be
able
to
understand
what
it
looks
like
one
time.
I
just
happened
to
be
asking
Joe
Bishop
a
question
and
on
his
screen
you
just
come
back
and
he
was
talking
about
Mass
Timber
and
he
had
different
buildings
well
see.
H
Nitro
is
looking
at
me
because
he
saw
that
he
came
on
wondering
what,
in
the
world
we
were
talking
about
and
and
I
think
that
would
be
important
to
show
that
and
to
show
what's
possible
with
mass
Timber
and
how
the
fire
department
actually
thinks
is
wonderful.
Well,
that's
what
he
said
that
day
and
I
saw
the
next
thing.
H
A
lot
of
people
know,
but
we
I'd,
like
the
Planning
Commission,
to
understand
and
also
our
citizens,
so
they'll
know
where
their
new
buildings
are
going,
which
ones
are
going
to
have
parking
garages
which
ones
are
going
to
be
freshman,
dorms
Etc
with
on
the
whole
campus
and
how
they're
doing
with
the
children's
center
right
now.
So
that
would
be
another
one
and
I
know
the
fire
department's
supposed
to
speak
to
the
Planning
Commission
on
their
at
their
next
meeting.
I
F
H
They
had
to
build
so
many
new
buildings
to
handle
the
Olympics
now
they're
looking
at
those
areas
and
how
can
they
get
the
track
traffic
out
of
the
centers
and
have
traffic
running
around
the
edges
of
them
and
there's
reports
on
that
and
and
create
wide
pedestrian
ways
and
Etc
Within
places
where
Parklands
there's
something
within
the
building
areas
and
I.
Think
that
would
be
a
wise
thing.
Also
in
historic
preservation.
H
We've
been
talking
about
building
form-based
codes
for
a
very
long
time
and
they
have
an
example
of
what
would
be
perfect
for
a
Central
Avenue
in
McKinleyville
and
because
that's
been
shown
in
historic
preservation
over
the
years
about
how
you
can
take
your
cities
and
you
can
bring
them
down
and
you
can
move
your
buildings
up
closer
to
your
sidewalks.
You
know
like
we
have
zero
lot
lines
downtown,
but
you
can
move
everything
in
and
you
can
rise
make
buildings
go
up
and
whatever,
but
that's
been
a
code.
H
I
know:
alderon
Laird
has
a
lot
to
say
about.
What's
going
on
with
climate
con,
what
we're
going
on
and
it'd
be
good
to
have
him?
I
just
saw
a
presentation
he
just
recently
to
have
him
come
and
talk
about
back
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
just
deal
with
some
of
these
issues.
So
the
Planning
Commission
when
they're
meeting
they
don't
have
to
keep
going
back
and
forth
and
discussing
these
over
and
over,
they
have
a
basis
of
information,
they've
been
given
and
I.
Think
that
would
be
really
valuable.
H
G
H
G
H
B
We're
just
this
is
just
us
providing
comic
relief
on
a
Wednesday
evening.
Do
we
have
any
other
reports
or
okay,
let's
go
ahead,
and
we
do
I
just
need
to
confirm
that
we're
going
to
have
a
meeting
to
certify
election
results
and
swear
in
New
City,
Council,
Members,
Thursday,
December
15th
at
6
pm
here
in
the
council
chambers
and
everyone's
calendars?
Oh
you're,
going
to
be
out
of
town.
H
I
won't
be
out
of
I
will
be
out
of
town
and
also
for
the
first
meeting
in
December
and
I
know
that
we
have
now
we're
going
to
have
an
item
on
our
agenda
as
far
as
an
appeal,
and
so
none
of
you
are
conflicted.
None
of
us
are
conflicted
on
that
which
is
good,
so
I,
don't
know
how
I
can
call
in
on
that
or
how
that
will
work
and
then
I
would
have
to
notice
it
and
I
can
tell
you
what
hotel
I'd
be
in.
