Once upon a time, in the city of Eureka, there was a bustling Community Services Department that worked tirelessly to keep the city running smoothly. Led by the diligent Donna Wood, they were responsible for keeping track of all the records and documents that were essential to their operations.

One day, Donna presented a recommendation to the City Council for the destruction of certain records that were no longer useful. These records, dating back to as far as 1999, had served their purpose and were now taking up unnecessary space. The Council, focused on optimizing city operations, agreed that it was time to let go of these outdated files.

As the sun began to set over the city, the Council gathered to adopt a Resolution for the destruction of the records. With no fiscal impact and in line with the City’s goals, they knew this was the right decision to make. Each Council member reviewed and approved the list of records to be destroyed, ensuring that all necessary steps were taken.

And so, with a unanimous vote, the Resolution was adopted, and the records were set to be destroyed. As the documents were shredded and disposed of, a sense of relief washed over the Community Services Department. They knew that this act would clear the way for new opportunities and growth in the city.

With the destruction of the records complete, the city of Eureka could now focus on building a brighter future. The Council members, Donna Wood, and the entire Community Services Department could rest easy, knowing that they had taken a step towards a more efficient and effective city operation. And as the stars twinkled in the night sky, the city of Eureka drifted off to sleep, dreaming of all the possibilities that lay ahead.

(Verse 1)
I got a call from the chief just the other day
Said we got a grant, but it came with a price to pay
Gonna be working overtime, out on the road
Trying to keep our streets safe, no matter the load

(Chorus)
But it’s breaking my heart, knowing what’s at stake
Every time I put on my badge and I walk out that gate
I see the dangers out there, with every passing car
Just trying to keep our town safe, but it feels so far

(Verse 2)
DUI Saturation Patrols, Distracted Driving too
It’s a constant battle, that we fight to get through
Bicycle and Pedestrian Enforcement, Speeding cars
We’re out here every day, trying to raise the bar

(Chorus)
But it’s breaking my heart, knowing what’s at stake
Every time I put on my badge and I walk out that gate
I see the dangers out there, with every passing car
Just trying to keep our town safe, but it feels so far

(Bridge)
I see the faces of those we’ve lost along the way
And I know that we’ll keep fighting, every single day
For the families left behind, the ones who bear the cost
We’ll keep on keeping on, no matter how much is lost

(Chorus)
But it’s breaking my heart, knowing what’s at stake
Every time I put on my badge and I walk out that gate
I see the dangers out there, with every passing car
Just trying to keep our town safe, but it feels so far

(Outro)
Accepting this grant, it’s a bittersweet deal
I’ll do what it takes, to protect and to heal
But the weight on my shoulders, it never fades away
Just trying to keep our city safe, in every single way.

In Eureka City, by the rolling sea,
The Public Works Department, first responders be,
From dawn till dusk, they work so tirelessly,
To keep our city safe, and disaster-free.

For the Public Works heroes, brave and strong,
With the “Public Works First Responder” symbol we’ll belong,
On National First Responders Day, let our unity be sung.

When storms rage and crashes occur,
Public Works professionals, they endure,
Working side by side with fire and police,
Ensuring safety for all, never seeking release.

(Chorus)
Hoist the flag, sing the song,
For the Public Works heroes, brave and strong,
With the “Public Works First Responder” symbol we’ll belong,
On National First Responders Day, let our unity be sung.

The APWA recognition, a badge of honor true,
For those who serve with dedication, through and through,
Let the city council adopt this resolution bold,
To honor our Public Works, in the stories untold.

Hoist the flag, sing the song,
For the Public Works heroes, brave and strong,
With the “Public Works First Responder” symbol we’ll belong,
On National First Responders Day, let our unity be sung.

So raise a cheer, for Public Works so grand,
With their symbol flying high, across the land,
On National First Responders Day, we’ll stand,
In unity and pride, hand in hand.

Starfish: Hey man, have you ever thought about drones like, for the police?

Noodles: Whoa, drones? Like, flying cameras?

Starfish: Yeah, exactly! Imagine if the cops had those, they could like, see everything from the sky.

Noodles: That’s pretty cool, man. But, like, what if they start spying on us?

Starfish: Oh man, good point. Maybe we should go to this City Council meeting and tell them not to do it!

Noodles: Yeah, let’s, like, make sure they know we’re watching them too.

Starfish: Totally, man. We gotta protect our privacy, even when we’re, like, stoned.

Noodles: Right on, bro. Let’s go stop the drone invasion!

Well, the Crowley Property Construction
Has been completed, it’s time for action
Brittany Powell managed it all with flair
Now it’s time for the City Council to declare

For the betterment of our beloved land.

[Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer are sitting in Monk’s Café, discussing their latest misadventures]

Jerry: So, get this. I was walking by the harbor yesterday and I saw this huge oil spill response equipment being delivered.

Elaine: Oil spill response equipment? What’s that doing in Eureka?

George: Probably for some big environmental cleanup project.

Kramer: Maybe they’re filming a movie about oil spills.

Jerry: Nah, it’s probably something boring like the city council allocating funding for it.

[Cut to City Hall, where the Eureka City Council is in session]

Councilmember: Alright, next on the agenda, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s grant for oil spill response equipment. Jeff Raimey, please present the recommendation.

[Cut back to Monk’s Café]

Jerry: Oil spill response equipment? That sounds like a riveting topic for City Hall.

Elaine: I bet they’ll be arguing over who gets to use the equipment first.

George: Or maybe they’ll fight over who has to pay for it.

Kramer: I once cleaned up an oil spill in the Hudson River. It was quite the adventure.

Jerry: Of course you did, Kramer.

[Cut back to City Hall]

Councilmember: Do I have a motion to approve the resolution for the grant funding?

Jerry (standing up from the crowd): I have a question!

Councilmember: Yes, sir. What is your question?

Jerry: What happens if they never actually use the oil spill response equipment? Do they get a refund?

[Councilmembers look at each other in confusion]

Councilmember: I…I’m not sure. That’s a good question. Maybe we should table this discussion for now.

[Cut back to Monk’s Café]

Jerry: And that, my friends, is how you cause a stir at City Hall.

Elaine: Only you, Jerry, only you.

George: Well, at least it made the council meeting a little less boring.

Kramer: I think I’ll join in on the next meeting. I have some great ideas for oil spill cleanups.

[They all laugh as the scene fades out]

Exciting news for Eureka City! The City Council will be discussing Bill No. 1051 C.S. – the Tobacco Retailer Licensing Ordinance.

The goal of this ordinance is to reduce youth access and exposure to tobacco products, including flavored tobacco and synthetic nicotine. #HealthandSafety

The ordinance will establish a local licensing system to prevent the illegal sale of tobacco products to individuals under 21, in compliance with state and federal law.

Not only will this encourage compliance with existing laws, but it will also provide the city with enforcement tools to deter irresponsible sales practices. #PublicHealthGoals

Additionally, this ordinance will work hand-in-hand with the proposed Nitrous Oxide Ordinance to hold businesses accountable for any violations. #Enforcement

Stay tuned for updates on this important initiative to create a healthier and safer community for all residents of Eureka. #EurekaCityCouncil #TobaccoRetailerLicensingOrdinance.
