Oh the city council met, on a summer’s eve
To review the disbursements, the funds they did receive
Tabatha Miller, the finance director bold
Presented the report, as the story is told

Chorus:
Yo ho, yo ho, a council member’s life for me
Approve the budget, set the funds free

Checks were drawn, demands were met
All conforming to the budget set
No need for audit, for all was well
The finance director’s tale to tell

Chorus:
Yo ho, yo ho, a council member’s life for me
Approve the budget, set the funds free

Now the council must decide
To approve the report with pride
For the budget to continue on
And the city to thrive before long

Chorus:
Yo ho, yo ho, a council member’s life for me
Approve the budget, set the funds free

So raise a toast to city hall
For their diligence and for all
To keep the funds in shipshape form
And weather the financial storm

Chorus:
Yo ho, yo ho, a council member’s life for me
Approve the budget, set the funds free.

(Verse 1)
Hey there, City Council, listen up to what we say
It’s time to designate Fire Hazard Zones in a brand new way
CalFire’s got new maps for areas at risk of wildfire
And it’s up to us to make sure residents are aware

(Chorus)
So let’s adopt Ordinance No. 1580, it’s time to take a stand
Adding Section 3200, keep our city safe and grand
Fire Prevention and Fire Protection, it’s all in the code
Let’s make sure our city’s ready for whatever may explode

(Verse 2)
The latest mapping shows us where the risks may lie
It’s our job to make sure everyone is informed and on standby
Sunny Brae, Cal Poly, Jacoby Creek, and more
We’ve got to protect our city, that’s what this ordinance is for

(Chorus)
So let’s adopt Ordinance No. 1580, it’s time to take a stand
Adding Section 3200, keep our city safe and grand
Fire Prevention and Fire Protection, it’s all in the code
Let’s make sure our city’s ready for whatever may explode

(Bridge)
We’ve reviewed the information, we’ve done our due diligence
To ensure that property owners won’t face any consequence
But it’s up to all of us to take responsibility
For fire hardening our homes and ensuring our community’s safety

(Chorus)
So let’s adopt Ordinance No. 1580, it’s time to take a stand
Adding Section 3200, keep our city safe and grand
Fire Prevention and Fire Protection, it’s all in the code
Let’s make sure our city’s ready for whatever may explode

(Outro)
So thank you, City Council, for listening to our song
Let’s work together to make sure our city’s prepared all along
Adopt Ordinance No. 1580, keep us safe and sound
Let’s protect our city from fires that may abound!

(Verse 1)
In the town of Arcata, where the marshlands lay,
A groundskeeper worked hard every single day,
But the funds ran low, and his job was at stake,
Until the Friends of the Marsh made a generous take.

(Chorus)
Oh, the tears in his eyes, the relief in his heart,
When he heard the news, it was like a fresh start,
With $5,000 donated, his job was secure,
Thanks to the kindness of those who care.

(Verse 2)
He cleared the trails, removed the waste,
Preserved the land, never let it go to waste,
But without that donation, he would’ve been gone,
Just another casualty in a world so wrong.

(Chorus)
Oh, the tears in his eyes, the relief in his heart,
When he heard the news, it was like a fresh start,
With $5,000 donated, his job was secure,
Thanks to the kindness of those who care.

(Bridge)
The council accepted, the motion was passed,
The groundskeeper’s future was saved at last,
But he’ll never forget the fear and the pain,
Of almost losing it all in the pouring rain.

(Chorus)
Oh, the tears in his eyes, the relief in his heart,
When he heard the news, it was like a fresh start,
With $5,000 donated, his job was secure,
Thanks to the kindness of those who care.

(Outro)
Now he tends to the marsh with a grateful heart,
Knowing he’s there thanks to a brand new start,
He’ll never forget the day they saved his job,
And the kindness of those who helped him not rob.

Listen up, Mayor and City Council Members! Emily Sinkhorn, Director of Environmental Services, is recommending that you approve the Arcata Community Center Roofing and Solar Project to Michael A. Roberts Construction for over half a million dollars. They want to replace the roof and install a solar array, claiming it’s for the good of the community.

But let me tell you something - this project is just a cover-up for their own agenda. They think they can just throw money at a problem and make it go away. Well, I’ve got news for you, Emily Sinkhorn. You can’t fool me.

I challenge you to step up and prove that this project is truly for the benefit of the people. Show me that you’re not just lining your pockets with taxpayer dollars. But until then, I’ll be watching closely, ready to call you out on your shady dealings. And remember, in this ring, there’s no room for corrupt politicians.

Growing up in Arcata, Sam always had a fascination with the Arcata Wastewater Treatment Facility. He found the whole idea of using natural treatment systems to clean wastewater incredibly intriguing. As a child, he would often visit the facility with his father, who worked there as an engineer. Sam loved watching the process of how the water was treated and how the marshes and wetlands played a crucial role in the treatment process.

As Sam got older, his interest in environmental science and engineering only grew. He knew that he wanted to make a difference in the world and what better place to start than in his own hometown. After graduating high school, Sam enrolled at Cal Poly Humboldt with a major in Environmental Engineering. He was determined to one day work at the Arcata Wastewater Treatment Facility and contribute to the research and development of the natural treatment systems.

Throughout his time at Cal Poly Humboldt, Sam excelled in his studies and even had the opportunity to work on research projects with the Arcata Marsh Research Institute (AMRI). He was thrilled to be able to work alongside Ph.D. researchers and gain real-world experience in his field of study. The work was challenging, but incredibly rewarding as Sam saw firsthand the impact their research had on the treatment facility.

When the opportunity arose for a contract to be awarded to Cal Poly Humboldt Sponsored Programs Foundation for academic/engineering services at the Arcata Wastewater Treatment Facility, Sam knew that this was his chance to make a real difference. He worked tirelessly on the proposal, outlining research projects and strategies to optimize treatment efficacy and provide monitoring recommendations.

He knew that he was on the right path, and he was excited to continue his work at the Arcata Wastewater Treatment Facility, making a difference in his community and the environment as a whole. The bildungsroman of Sam’s life was just beginning, and he was ready to embrace all the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead.

Keira Vink sat at her desk, reviewing the report she had prepared for the City Council meeting. As the Human Resources and Administrative Services Director for the city of Arcata, it was her responsibility to recommend changes to the management and confidential employee classifications and pay.

The year was 2025, and technology had advanced significantly since the early 2000s. Arcata was a city that embraced innovation and progress, and Keira was at the forefront of ensuring that the city’s workforce remained competitive and well-compensated.

As she read through the proposed resolutions, Keira couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. The changes seemed normal on the surface – holiday pay adjustments, health insurance benefits, and other routine updates. But there was a nagging sense of unease that she couldn’t quite place.

Just then, a message popped up on Keira’s screen – a message that shouldn’t have been possible. It was a direct communication from an unknown source, bypassing all security protocols.

“Keira Vink,” the message read, “you hold the key to unlocking the truth behind the city’s secrets. Meet me at the abandoned warehouse on 5th Street at midnight.”

Keira’s heart raced as she read the message. Was this some kind of elaborate prank or a hoax? But deep down, she knew it was something more. Without hesitation, she made up her mind to go to the warehouse and find out what lay behind the mysterious message.

As midnight approached, Keira arrived at the warehouse and cautiously entered. The interior was dark and eerie, with shadows dancing on the walls. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the darkness – a figure clad in a metallic suit, with glowing eyes and an aura of otherworldly energy.

“Keira Vink,” the figure intoned, its voice resonating with power, “the city’s government is not what it seems. They are using the classified resolutions to cover up their true agenda – a plan to control the minds of the entire population through subliminal messaging hidden in the employee classifications.”

Keira’s mind reeled at the revelation. The city she had dedicated her career to was involved in a sinister plot to manipulate its citizens. But before she could process it all, the figure handed her a device – a device that would allow her to disrupt the mind control signals and expose the truth to the world.

With newfound determination, Keira activated the device and unleashed a wave of energy that disrupted the signals emanating from the city’s administrative building. As the truth was revealed, chaos erupted in Arcata, but Keira knew that it was necessary to break free from the control of those in power.

In the aftermath of the revelation, Keira became a hero to the people of Arcata, leading a resistance movement to overthrow the corrupt government and establish a new era of freedom and transparency. The city was forever changed by Keira’s bravery and the secrets she had uncovered, ushering in a new chapter in its history.

Conspiracy Theory: The establishment of a PARS 115 Trust to prefund City pension obligations is actually a cover-up for a secret underground government project. The City Council is authorizing the City Manager to execute documents with PARS not just for pension funding, but to funnel money into a black ops program. The PARS investment strategies are actually a front for funding experimental technology and weapons development, with the ultimate goal of creating a super soldier program. The City’s UAL is being used as a guise to explain the large sums of money being funneled into this secret project, all under the guise of responsible investment strategies. The public is being kept in the dark about the true nature of where their tax dollars are going, and the City Council is complicit in this conspiracy. The truth will eventually come to light, revealing a shadow government operating within the City of Arcata.
