Upon this day of January twenty,
A report from the Finance Director shared,
Of obligations paid with coin aplenty,
By the City of Fortuna’s meticulous care.

ROPS and annual reports on the docket,
For State approval and public review,
To ensure funds flow like a steady faucet,
And taxpayer dollars are spent anew.

Measure E committee meets anon,
To gather ideas and funding proposals,
From the public, whose voice shall be the dawn,
Of projects funded by sales tax disposals.

With detailed logs and staff report in hand,
The Council’s vote shall make this report grand.

(Inside a City Council Meeting)

Mayor: (reading from the report) “Parks Maintenance has one full-time Park Maintenance Worker II on leave due to a broken heater in the Pavilion. Deferred maintenance items include forest management, pavilion foundation, pavilion interior/exterior paint, Monday Club paint, museum steps, and ramp. In addition to routine maintenance, staff collected trash, performed litter pickup at bus stops, and removed hazardous branches from trees. The River Lodge also had maintenance work done, including replacing air filters and installing sheetrock in the kitchen.”

Council Member 1: (stands up) “This is unacceptable! How can we let our parks fall into disrepair like this? We need to allocate more funds to the Parks and Recreation Department immediately.”

Council Member 2: (interrupting) “I agree! Our community deserves better than this. We need to prioritize the maintenance of our parks and facilities before they become even more dangerous to the public.”

Amy Nilsen: (City Manager, stepping in) “I understand your concerns, but we have been facing budget constraints that have made it difficult to keep up with maintenance tasks. We are doing our best with the resources we have available.”

Mayor: (trying to calm the council members) “Let’s focus on how we can address these issues moving forward. We need to find a way to prioritize maintenance and ensure the safety of our community members. Kaylyn, do you have any suggestions for how we can improve the situation?”

Kaylyn Stainbrook: (Parks and Recreation Director) “I appreciate the concern and I understand the urgency of the situation. I believe we can create a prioritized maintenance plan that focuses on the most critical areas first. With additional funding, we can address the deferred maintenance items and ensure the safety of our parks and facilities.”

Council Member 1: (sitting back down) “I’m glad to hear that there is a plan in place. Let’s make sure we allocate the necessary resources to support the Parks and Recreation Department in their efforts to maintain our community spaces.”

Council Member 2: (nodding) “Agreed. Our parks and facilities are an important part of our community, and we need to do everything we can to ensure they are safe and well-maintained.”

(They continue to discuss the issue, coming up with a plan to address the maintenance issues and provide additional funding to support the Parks and Recreation Department)

Welcome, patriots! This is Merv “The Beast” Tarkington coming at you live on the air with another edition of The Beastly Truth. Today, we’ve got some shocking revelations from the Public Works/Engineering Department Monthly Report that will make you question everything you know about your local government.

First up, we’ve got the Kenmar Interchange. Now, this may seem innocent enough at first glance, but don’t be fooled. Staff are working with CalTrans on design development, but what they’re not telling you is that this is just another ploy to waste taxpayer dollars on unnecessary projects. Do we really need fancy landscaping and aesthetics on our interchanges? I think not.

And don’t even get me started on Well 5. They’re awaiting sampling and metals testing to ensure casing “dam” between aquifers was successful. What a load of hogwash! This is just a smokescreen to cover up their incompetence and inefficiency. And building designs nearing completion? Please. I’ll believe it when I see it.

Now let’s talk about the Newberg Road Sewer. Staff working with GHD on preliminary designs for sewer upgrades in an area with known flow constraints. Surveying work ongoing? More like surveying work never-ending. When will they stop wasting our hard-earned money on unnecessary projects and get down to business?

And don’t even get me started on NPDES Compliance. Jacob’s proceeding to 90% design? That’s laughable. This is just another excuse to line their pockets with taxpayer dollars. And a complete overhaul of the City’s SCADA interface and hardware? Give me a break.

But it doesn’t stop there, folks. Grants and Funding? Community Development Coordination? Development Review? Utilities Division? Water Treatment/Wastewater Division? It’s all a tangled web of corruption and deceit designed to keep us in the dark and drain our wallets dry.

So what can we do, patriots? We need to rise up and demand accountability from our local government. We need to hold them to task and demand transparency in all their dealings. Because at the end of the day, it’s our hard-earned money they’re squandering, and we won’t stand for it any longer.

This has been Merv “The Beast” Tarkington with The Beastly Truth. Stay vigilant, stay informed, and stay strong, patriots. Until next time, keep fighting the good fight.

(Verse)
Hey there Mayor, and council too
We’ve got a request for you
From the Parks and Rec director, Kaylyn
About the Fortuna Garden Club, come on in

They want to renew their MOU
To use our facilities for free, it’s true
They help beautify our city, oh so grand
In exchange for meeting spaces, isn’t that grand?

(Chorus)
So let’s approve this renewal today
Keep our city looking great, hooray
With a small contribution, they’ll pay
For facility maintenance along the way

(Verse)
City staff, they set up the chairs
For the Garden Club, no added cares
But with the economy as it stands
We need that extra $500 in our hands

The fiscal impact, it’s clear to see
The value of their work, it’s key
We can’t do it all on our own
So let’s renew this MOU, make our city known

(Chorus)
So let’s approve this renewal today
Keep our city looking great, hooray
With a small contribution, they’ll pay
For facility maintenance along the way

(Outro)
Let’s keep our city looking neat
With the Fortuna Garden Club’s beat
So let’s approve this renewal, yes we can
And keep our city shining bright, in the land.

Socrates: Ah, my dear Phaedrus, it seems we have an interesting matter to discuss today. Have you had the chance to peruse the staff report regarding the city’s Urban Water Management Plan?

Phaedrus: Yes, Socrates, I have skimmed through it briefly. It appears that the Public Works Department is recommending that the City Council approve a $12,000 Supplemental Budget Request to update the plan and authorize the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with Freshwater Environmental Services. What are your thoughts on this matter?

Socrates: Well, Phaedrus, it seems that the purpose of this update is to ensure that the city is in compliance with the requirements of the California Department of Water Resources and the Urban Water Management Act. It is essential for urban water suppliers to have a comprehensive plan in place to manage their water resources effectively. However, I am curious about the financial impact of this decision. Do you think it is wise for the city to allocate $12,000 from its water rate revenue reserve funds for this purpose?

Phaedrus: That is a valid question, Socrates. The staff report indicates that utilizing Freshwater Environmental Services for this update could result in considerable savings for the city, as they have extensive experience in preparing Urban Water Management Plans for jurisdictions in Humboldt County. It appears that the city anticipates cost savings by using the same consultant for this update.

Socrates: It is indeed important to consider the expertise and cost-effectiveness of the consultant in this matter. It seems that the city has outlined alternative options in the staff report, such as releasing a request for proposals or completing the update in-house. However, it is mentioned that completing the project in-house would not be the most efficient use of city funds. What are your thoughts on these alternatives, Phaedrus?

Phaedrus: It seems, Socrates, that the staff report has carefully considered the pros and cons of each alternative. While completing the project in-house may seem like a cost-saving option initially, it could potentially lead to delays or the suspension of other planned work. Hiring consultants with extensive experience in state reporting may ultimately result in cost savings and a more efficient process for updating the Urban Water Management Plan.

Socrates: Ah, Phaedrus, it appears that the staff recommendation to approve the Supplemental Budget Request and authorize the professional services agreement with Freshwater Environmental Services is indeed a prudent decision. By prioritizing expertise and efficiency in this matter, the city can ensure that it remains compliant with state requirements and effectively manages its water resources.

As the city council members gathered for the public hearing and first reading of the amendments to the Zoning Map, there was a sense of unease in the air. The room was filled with tension as they prepared to discuss the reclassification of several parcels of land within the city.

Michelle Nielsen, the Contract City Planner, stood at the front of the room, her voice echoing through the chamber as she presented the details of the proposed amendments. She spoke of consistency with the Fortuna General Plan Land Use Element and the Mill District Specific Plan, of legal requirements and environmental reviews.

But as she spoke, a chill ran down the spines of those in attendance. Something felt off, as if the very words she spoke were laden with a dark and sinister intent. And as she reached the section detailing the six parcels proposed for rezoning, a sense of dread washed over the room.

The parcels, it seemed, held a dark history. Un-zoned, unclaimed, existing on the fringes of the city’s consciousness. And now, they were set to be reclassified, to be brought into the light of legality and regulation.

But as the council members deliberated, strange whispers began to fill the chamber. Whispers of a presence unseen, of a malevolent force lurking just beyond the city’s borders. And as the vote was called, a sense of foreboding settled over the room.

As the council members raised their hands to approve the amendments, the lights flickered and dimmed. Shadows danced along the walls, twisting and contorting into grotesque shapes. And then, as quickly as it had begun, the whispers ceased, the shadows receded, and the lights returned to normal.

But the feeling of dread remained, a lingering presence in the air. And as the council members filed out of the chamber, a faint voice could be heard, whispering a warning of things to come.

For in reclassifying those parcels, the city had awoken something ancient and dark. And now, as the moon rose high in the sky, a malevolent force stirred in the shadows, ready to claim its territory once more. And as the night fell, the city of Fortuna would come to know true horror, as the darkness descended upon them, hungry for souls to consume.
