The Times-Standard is confirming at least part of the story told by eyewitnesses to yesterday’s Board of Supervisors meeting, at which the board sought to abruptly stall the General Plan Update process.
“Thomas Bradshaw” of the Humboldt Sentinel and Jen Kalt, on KHUM, both reported that Supervisors Ryan Sundberg, Rex Bohn and Virginia Bass cited the “complexity” of the current general plan update document as a primary reason for ordering staff to come up with easier-to-understand alternatives. In the T-S‘s report, Supervisors Bohn and Sundberg object to the notion that they mean to chuck the entire 12 years of work on the general plan update, but both agree that the words contained within the pages before them are pretty darned hard to read.
Video from yesterday’s meeting has yet to be released, but the Lost Coast Outpost has come into possession of an explosive document that appears to indicate that county staff is already taking the board’s direction very seriously indeed. They seem quite intent on drafting a new document aimed squarely at the literacy level of an average elected official.
