Humboldt Supervisors to Brainstorm Ways to Maintain Roads, Consider an Anti-Hate Resolution in Response to ‘Vicious and Hateful’ Message Aimed at Black, LGBTQ+ Communities
###
The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors is in store for another light agenda this week. There are about a dozen items on the consent calendar but only a handful of action items on Tuesday’s agenda. Possibly the most notable item on the agenda is an anti-hate resolution that seeks to affirm the county’s stance against hate.
A little over a week ago, members of the board and several other local agencies received a “vicious and hateful message that threatened the lives of members of the Black and 2S/LGBTQIA+ communities,” according to the staff report. The “abhorrent” message prompted staff to take immediate action to address the matter and “affirm [the county’s] ongoing commitment to foster a safe, equitable environment for all community members to live and thrive.”
“Hateful rhetoric only serves to reinforce our commitment to uphold values that celebrate the beauty of our diverse communities,” according to the letter. “We will continue to provide diversity, equity and inclusion learning opportunities for our staff and the people we serve. We are committed to providing our agencies with resources to combat acts of hate, racism, bigotry, and xenophobia and ensure hate crimes are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
While the letter is certainly well-intended, the vicious message in question appears to be the work of an internet troll. As detailed in a recent post by the Outpost’s Ryan Burns, on Friday afternoon, the Board of Supervisors received an apology from an individual claiming to be the author of the original message.
“My expectation was that it would be deleted quickly before anyone else in the public saw it, and this site would *hopefully* put out a statement reaffirming their commitment against violence,” the follow-up message states.
Bogus or not, the board still plans to reaffirm its commitment against violence. We should note that the board passed a similar anti-hate resolution back in January following a surge of “hate events” in the county, including several instances of racism, anti-Semitism and an increase in hate crimes, discrimination, harassing behavior and violence towards the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
###
Later in the meeting, the rubber hits the road. Humboldt County maintains, if that’s the word, a large network of roads, and they are in generally bad shape. Right now the network ranks 49 on a scale of 100 (the so-called “Pavement Condition Index,” placing them squarely in the “Poor Condition” bracket. Staff from the public works department estimate (here) that it will take upwards of half a billion dollars over next 10 years to bring that up to a grade of 70, which is the absolute lowest you can rate and have your system in “Good Condition.”
How to pay for that? Well, that’s the question. Staff are asking for a one-time expenditure of $336,000 to contract with a public policy firm to conduct research on what might be a publicly acceptable method of doing so. It would likely involve placing an additional sales tax on a future ballot. But expect there to be a lot of back-and-forth about this item, with public transportation advocates getting in their requests — see here — as well as talk about possible alternatives to road maintenance, such as downsizing the system in one way or another.

This will partner with local Chambers of Commerce to highlight the programs and services available to entrepreneurs through the U.S. Small Business Administration and other government agencies. There is no financial impact, and the action supports the Board’s Strategic Framework. The alternative to this recommendation is left to the Board’s discretion.

… or, as a scene from a thriller!
The conference room was quiet except for the occasional shuffling of papers and the soft whirring of the air conditioning system. The five members of the Board of Supervisors sat at the long table, studying the documents in front of them. They had convened to discuss a routine matter – approval of the Action Summary for the meeting of April 25, 2023.
But something was off. Supervisor Johnson couldn’t shake the feeling that they were being watched. He discreetly glanced around the room, but everyone seemed as focused on the task at hand as he was. He shrugged and turned his attention back to the papers.
Suddenly, there was a loud crash as the door to the conference room was kicked open. Three men burst in, clad in black and brandishing guns. The supervisors sprang up from their chairs, their hearts pounding in their chests.
“Everyone stay calm and get on the ground,” one of the attackers barked.
Johnson could hardly believe what was happening. This was supposed to be a routine meeting, a mere formality. What on earth was going on?
The assailants proceeded to tie up the supervisors and gag them, forcing them to watch as they ransacked the room. They seemed to be searching for something specific, tearing through drawers and cabinets with reckless abandon.
It was clear that the attackers were professionals. Johnson and the others knew better than to try to fight back – their only chance was to stay alive and hope for rescue.
After what felt like an eternity, the attackers finally found what they were looking for. They gathered up a stack of papers and slipped out the door, leaving the supervisors bound and helpless.
As soon as they were gone, Johnson struggled against his restraints. He managed to loosen the ropes around his wrists and then quickly freed his fellow supervisors. They stumbled to their feet, shaken but unharmed.
“What the hell was that?” Supervisor Garcia gasped.
Johnson shook his head. “I don’t know, but I have a feeling this is just the beginning.”

As Detective Sarah Williams entered the County Administrative Office, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread. She had received a call from one of the members of the Board of Supervisors requesting her presence for an urgent matter. As she walked through the hallway towards the meeting room, she spotted the nervous faces of the employees and wondered what had happened.
As she entered the meeting room, she saw the Board of Supervisors gathered around a table, discussing a file labeled 23-135. The County Administrative Office was recommending the acceptance of a grant for the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) Quality Jobs, Equity, Strategy and Training (QUEST) Disaster Recovery National Dislocated Worker Grant (NDWG) in partnership with Blue Lake Rancheria and Cal Poly Humboldt.
Detective Williams couldn’t help but feel suspicious. Something about the grant and its proposed recipients seemed off to her. She approached one of the board members, Supervisor John Smith, and asked him for more information about the grant and its purpose.
Smith explained that the grant was meant to promote engagement for underserved communities and businesses, as well as employment training activities. The funds would be used to assist in job placement, program enrollment, skill-based hiring, work-based learning opportunities, and career path development.
Detective Williams listened carefully, but something felt off to her. She decided to investigate the grant and its proposed recipients further. She began by looking into Blue Lake Rancheria, a Native American tribe located in the county.
As she dug deeper, she discovered that the tribe had been involved in a number of scams and controversies over the years, including embezzlement, fraud and racketeering. She also discovered that one of the tribe’s leaders, John Long, was known to have connections with organized crime.
Detective Williams’ suspicions grew stronger. She started to believe that the grant was a front for illegal activity, and that Blue Lake Rancheria and Cal Poly Humboldt were being used to funnel the money into the hands of organized crime.
She decided to launch a full-scale investigation, gathering evidence and interviewing the key players involved. Her gut feeling had been right all along. The grant had been a front for illegal activity, and Blue Lake Rancheria, Cal Poly Humboldt, and John Long had all been involved in embezzlement, money laundering, and organized crime.
Thanks to Detective Williams’ investigation, the fraud was uncovered, and the culprits were brought to justice. The County of Humboldt was saved from a major scandal and the funds were used for their intended purpose - to benefit the under-resourced communities and businesses in the county. Detective Williams had once again proven herself to be a skilled and dedicated detective, and the County of Humboldt was grateful for her service.

4. Certification of the Results of the March 07, 2023, Salmon Creek Fire Protection District Formation Election
The County of Humboldt is discussing the certification of the results of the Salmon Creek Fire Protection District Formation Election that took place on March 7, 2023. The recommendation is for the Board of Supervisors to accept the Certified Statement of Results of the Official Canvass. The county elections office follows specific steps to ensure accurate results, and the county is committed to promoting transparency and accessibility. The cost of the election is estimated at $2500, which will be billable to the district. The action supports the Board’s Strategic Framework’s core roles regarding enforcing laws and regulations, fostering transparent and accessible services, and does not have any alternatives unless the Board wants to be non-compliant with the Elections Code. Three attachments are included in the agenda item: a certificate, a summary report, and a precinct by precinct report.

… or, as a right-wing radio talk show hosted by Merv "The Beast" Tarkington!
Welcome to the Beast’s Den, folks. Today, we’re digging into local politics here in the County of Humboldt. We’ve got a juicy item on the agenda for the Board of Supervisors meeting coming up on May 2nd - the certification of the results of the March 7th Salmon Creek Fire Protection District Formation Election.
Now, you might think this is a routine matter, just a box to be checked off by the bureaucrats. But let me tell you, there’s more to it than that. This election was an opportunity for civic engagement, a chance for the people of this county to have their voices heard. And that’s something we should never take for granted.
I’m pleased to report that the process was transparent and accessible, just as it should be. The elections office did their due diligence, counting any valid write-in votes, reconciling the number of ballots counted and spoiled, and carrying out a hand count of at least one percent of the ballots cast. All of this was in accordance with Elections Code Section 15372.
But here’s where things get interesting. Elections Code Section 15400 requires the governing board to declare the results of each election under its jurisdiction as to each measure voted on at the election. So, if the Board of Supervisors doesn’t accept the Certified Statement of Results, they would be out of compliance with the law. That’s not a good look, folks.
Let’s also talk about the financial impact. The election cost around $2500, which is billable to the district. Some might see this as a waste of taxpayer money, but I see it as an investment in democracy. We must protect the integrity of our elections, even at a local level.
So, to the Board of Supervisors, I urge you to accept the Certified Statement of Results and uphold your duty to declare the results of this important election. Let’s keep fighting for free and fair elections, and let the voices of the people be heard.
This is Merv “The Beast” Tarkington signing off. Stay tuned for more hard-hitting commentary on the issues that matter to you.

6. Approval of Memorandum of Understanding with Klamath-Trinity Joint Unified School District for the Facilitation of Dental Screenings for Elementary School Students
The County of Humboldt is trying to approve an agreement with the Klamath-Trinity Joint Unified School District to help facilitate dental screenings for elementary school students. This is part of a larger program to improve oral health education, prevention, and treatment for high-need populations in Humboldt County. The agreement will clarify the responsibilities of the LOHP and the school district in ensuring that all students receive proper screenings. The agreement will not have any financial impact and supports the county’s strategic framework by protecting vulnerable populations and providing community-appropriate levels of service. The Board is recommended to approve the agreement.

… or, as a town crier's speech!
Hear ye, hear ye! Citizens of the County of Humboldt, the Town Crier is here to bring you important news of the upcoming meeting of 5/2/2023. The Board of Supervisors has on its agenda a matter of great importance for our community.
The Humboldt County Department of Health and Human Services - Public Health has been awarded a grant by the California Department of Public Health to expand upon the existing Local Oral Health Program. A key strategy for identifying the dental needs of children and linking them to proper care is providing school-based oral health assessments. The Kindergarten Oral Health Assessment is required by law, but families without a dental home can struggle to find a provider that will complete the screening for their child.
To facilitate dental screenings for elementary school students in the Klamath-Trinity Joint Unified School District, DHHS - Public Health has recommended that the Board of Supervisors approve a Memorandum of Understanding. This partnership will improve participation rates in the KOHA and result in improvements in community health, compliant school regulations, and increased access to services for vulnerable populations.
The Board of Supervisors is being asked to approve the MOU and authorize DHHS - Public Health Director, or designee thereof, to execute any and all subsequent memoranda of understanding and any respective amendments. All documents will be subject to review and approval by County Counsel, Risk Management, and the County Administrative Office in order to avoid any unnecessary delays in the facilitation of oral health assessments for students in Humboldt County school districts.
Citizens of the County of Humboldt, this matter carries no financial impact, and it supports the Board’s Strategic Framework by protecting vulnerable populations and providing them with community-appropriate levels of service.
Be it known to all, the alternative to not approving the MOU is not recommended since it will limit DHHS - Public Health’s ability to provide adequate support to high-need populations in the County.
Let the word go forth throughout the county that this matter is to be voted on by a majority at the upcoming meeting. The clerk of the Board is to return one certified copy of the order pertaining to this item to the DHHS - Contracts Unit.
That is all. This message has been brought to you by the Town Crier.

7. Moore Lot Line Adjustment and Joint Timber Management Plan (4/5 Vote Required) APNs: 205-011-037, 205-081-012, 205-011-007, 205-031-005 Record Number: PLN-2022-18031
The County of Humboldt has a meeting on May 2, 2023, where they will discuss a project called the Moore Lot Line Adjustment and Joint Timber Management Plan. This project involves adjusting two parcels of land to create more logical management units for timber and grazing. The resulting parcels will contain less than 160 acres of Timberland Production Zone, so a Joint Timber Management Plan is required to ensure sustainable return while balancing growth and yield over time. The Planning and Building Department recommends that the Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution to approve the Lot Line Adjustment and the Joint Timber Management Plan, record the necessary declarations, and give notice of the decision to relevant parties. The project is exempt from environmental review and there will be no impact on the General Fund as the applicant is responsible for all costs. The Board of Supervisors may choose not to approve the project, but Planning Division staff recommends approval as the JTMP shows that the management units within the LLA resultant parcels can be managed for continued timber production.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
As we gather here today, I want to speak to you about the importance of making necessary adjustments in our lives. Just as the County of Humboldt is making a lot line adjustment and zone boundary adjustment, we too must be willing to make adjustments in our lives that align with God’s plan for us.
In today’s reading from Proverbs, we hear the words, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” This reminds us that we must trust in God’s plan for us and be willing to make adjustments that align with that plan.
Just as the County of Humboldt is adjusting their zoning to adhere to regulations and protect residents, we too must make adjustments to adhere to God’s laws and protect our spiritual well-being.
So I encourage you all to reflect on your own lives and ask yourselves, what adjustments do I need to make to align with God’s plan for me? Is it making amends with a loved one? Is it letting go of a harmful habit? Whatever it may be, have faith that God will guide you in the right direction.
Let us pray. Heavenly Father, we ask for your guidance and wisdom as we make adjustments in our lives to align with your plan. Help us to trust in you with all our hearts and submit to your will. May we always seek to protect our spiritual well-being and live in accordance with your laws. Amen.
Thank you, and God bless.

10. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Curb Ramp Improvements Project (Phase 3)
The County of Humboldt’s Public Works department is recommending that the Board of Supervisors approve plans and specifications for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Curb Ramp Improvements Project (Phase 3) and advertise the project for bids. This phase will address non-compliant curb ramps in areas surrounding McKinleyville and West of the City of Arcata. The project is being funded by the Humboldt County Road Fund for the amount of $1,497,287. The first and second phases of the project have already been completed. The recommended action aligns with the County’s commitment to complying with the ADA and providing accessible infrastructure. However, the County’s Road Fund is underfunded, and additional revenue sources may need to be secured to prevent a negative impact on the General Fund.

11. Bid Award Authorization for the McKinleyville Safe Routes to Schools Project
The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors is considering awarding a project to RAO Construction Co, Inc. to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety near some schools. The total cost of the project is estimated to be $670,911, with the county being responsible for $127,651 of that total. Funds are coming from the California Department of Transportation’s Active Transportation Program, the Humboldt Union High School District, and the county’s Road Fund. The Board of Supervisors is recommended to approve the project, and no impact is expected on staffing levels. The project supports the county’s priority of maintaining infrastructure. The Board of Supervisors may choose not to award the project but it is not recommended as the funds would go towards improving safety in the area.

… or, as a Dungeons & Dragons campaign!
The County of Humboldt has approved the McKinleyville Safe Routes to Schools Project, which aims to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety around McKinleyville High School and Morris Elementary School. However, rumors have spread throughout the county that the winning bidder, RAO Construction Co, Inc., has a history of cutting corners and ignoring safety regulations on their projects. The players are hired by concerned parents and citizens in the area to investigate these rumors and ensure that the construction of the project is carried out safely and to the specifications outlined in the bid agreement.
The players will have to gather information on RAO Construction Co, Inc. by questioning employees, reviewing their past projects, and potentially even going undercover to observe their work in progress. They must also navigate any attempts by RAO Construction Co, Inc. to cover up any violations.
As the players uncover evidence of RAO Construction Co, Inc.’s poor safety record, they’ll have to figure out how to present their findings to the Board of Supervisors in a way that will ensure the project is completed safely, without risking the loss of funding or delays to the project. They may even encounter resistance from members of the board who are eager to see the project completed on time and on budget.
Throughout the adventure, the players will encounter a variety of NPCs, including concerned parents, local business owners, construction workers, and members of the Board of Supervisors. They’ll need to use their skills in diplomacy, investigation, and combat to uncover the truth and protect the safety of the community. Depending on their choices, the players may even impact the future of construction projects in the County of Humboldt.

13. Agreement with the Humboldt Transit Authority, City of Arcata and the Humboldt County Association of Governments Regarding the Provision of Region-Wide Dial-A-Ride Services
The Humboldt Transit Authority runs a Dial-A-Ride program for elderly and disabled people in Humboldt County. The program provides about 18,000 rides per year and is funded through the Transit Development Act. An agreement has been proposed to continue the services for the period of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. The Board of Supervisors is recommended to approve and authorize the Chair of the Board to execute the agreement, which will cost $163,323 and will not impact the Humboldt County General Fund. No changes will be made to current staffing levels. The alternate option of not approving the agreement is not recommended as it will affect the cost-efficient provision of services. The agreement defines the roles, responsibilities, and commitments of the Humboldt Transit Authority, City of Arcata and the Humboldt County Association of Governments regarding the provision of region-wide Dial-A-Ride services.

… or, as Star Trek fan fiction!
Captain James T. Kirk scanned the report from the County of Humboldt with a frown. It wasn’t the most exciting agenda item on their journey, but it was their duty to review it nonetheless.
“Mr. Spock,” Kirk called to his first officer, “what’s your analysis?”
Spock raised an eyebrow. “The proposal seems straightforward, Captain. The Humboldt Transit Authority wishes to continue providing Dial-A-Ride services for elderly and disabled persons in the region. The agreement defines their roles and responsibilities, with no impact on current staffing levels.”
Kirk nodded. “And the financial impact?”
“The County of Humboldt’s current cost share is projected to be $163,323, which is within their Transportation Services Fund budget for the 2023-2024 fiscal year. The service is financed by Transit Development Act funds administered through the Humboldt County Association of Governments.”
“Interesting,” Kirk mused. “It’s good to see communities taking care of their own. I’m all for approving this proposal.”
The rest of the bridge crew nodded in agreement, and the motion was passed with a unanimous vote.
As the Enterprise continued its journey through space, Kirk felt a sense of satisfaction. Though their mission involved exploring strange new worlds and seeking out new life and civilizations, it was also their duty to ensure that Earth and its communities were taken care of. This small act of approving a Dial-A-Ride service in Humboldt County was just one example of how they could help those closer to home.

14. Continuation of Local Emergency Due to the 6.4 Magnitude Earthquake Occurring on December 20, 2022
The Board of Supervisors in Humboldt County is recommending that the local state of emergency, caused by a powerful earthquake in December 2022, be extended until May 23, 2023. This is to allow the county and other local government agencies to effectively plan and prepare for potential threats posed by aftershocks and other damages. The damages caused by the earthquake include damage to buildings, roads, water, and gas lines, as well as loss of life and injuries. The extension of the state of emergency will also allow the county to seek additional state and federal funding for their response efforts.

THREAD:
The County of Humboldt has recommended the continuation of a local emergency due to the 6.4 magnitude earthquake that occurred on December 20, 2022. This is aimed at helping the county and other local government entities to plan and prepare effectively to respond to the earthquake’s threat. #HumboldtCounty #Earthquake
The Sheriff has recommended that the Board of Supervisors declare a local emergency that remains in effect until May 23, 2023. This will allow the county to seek state and federal funding that may be applicable, including funding from the California Public Utilities Commission, the California Disaster Assistance Act, and the Stafford Act. #EmergencyResponse #Funding
The earthquake has caused significant damage to public and private property and an imminent threat to public safety. The damages include downed power and telephone lines, damaged homes, bridges, roadways, gas lines, and water lines. #PublicSafety #Infrastructure
The damaged caused by the earthquake exceeded the available county resources, requiring multiple state and local agencies’ response. These include public safety, emergency medical response, collapsed buildings, damage assessment, vehicle access, mass care and sheltering, and debris-roadway clearing. #DisasterResponse
Continuing the emergency will utilize staff time working as disaster service workers. The Board of Supervisors can choose not to adopt the Resolution, but that would preclude the county from seeking outside assistance emergency programs to provide funding for the earthquake response efforts. #Staffing #Assistance
The continuation of the emergency supports the Board’s Strategic Framework by providing for and maintaining infrastructure. Therefore, it is essential to authorize the Chair to sign the resolution re-authorizing the existence of a local emergency. #Infrastructure #Authorisation
Other government entities involved in the response to the earthquake include the State of California, United States federal government, City of Eureka, and City of Rio Dell. #GovernmentResponse #Collaboration

15. Continuation of Local Emergency Due to Consecutive Major Winter Storm Events Commencing on January 3, 2023, Which Have Resulted in Downed Trees, Disrupted Utility Services, Damaged and Flooded Roadways, Mudslides and Damaged Homes, Such Damages Exceeding Available County Resources
The Sheriff is recommending that the Board of Supervisors declare that a local emergency still exists due to severe winter storms that have caused damage to trees, utilities, roads, homes, and more, exceeding the county’s available resources. If declared, this will help the county seek federal and state funding for further assistance. The local emergency will remain in effect until May 23, 2023. If not declared, the county will not be able to seek outside assistance.

… or, as a Bruce Springsteen song!
Verse 1:
In County of Humboldt, there’s been a storm
Since January, it’s been causing harm
Downed trees, damaged homes, it’s quite severe
And the resources are simply not here
Chorus:
We need to declare an emergency
To plan and prepare for the possibility
Of more storms and more destruction
We need to act, not wait for instruction
Verse 2:
The Sheriff declared it back in January
But the damage is still a major adversary
We need more funding, we need more aid
To make sure our county is not afraid
Chorus:
We need to declare an emergency
To plan and prepare for the possibility
Of more storms and more destruction
We need to act, not wait for instruction
Bridge:
We can’t leave it up to chance
We need to take a stance
To protect our community
We need to act with unity
Chorus:
We need to declare an emergency
To plan and prepare for the possibility
Of more storms and more destruction
We need to act, not wait for instruction
Outro:
Let’s authorize it, let’s sign the resolution
To show our commitment to the solution
We’ll seek funding, we’ll seek support
To make sure County of Humboldt comes out on top.

16. Continuation of Local Emergency Due to Consecutive Major Winter Storm Events Commencing on March 1, 2023, Which Have Resulted in Large Accumulations of Snow, Impassable Roadways, Downed Trees, Disrupted Utility Services, Damaged and Flooded Roadways, Mudslides and Damaged Structures, and Dead Livestock, Such Damages Exceeding Available County Resources
The Sheriff of Humboldt County is recommending that the Board of Supervisors declare a local emergency still exists due to consecutive major winter storm events that have caused damages exceeding available county resources. The damages include large accumulations of snow, impassable roadways, downed trees, disrupted utility services, damaged and flooded roadways, mudslides, damaged structures, and dead livestock. The declaration would authorize the county to seek state and federal funding for storm damage response efforts. The local emergency is being extended through May 23, 2023.

The job candidate nervously entered the interview room, greeted by a panel of three people. The first person introduced themselves as the Sheriff, and the candidate immediately recognized their name from the file number listed on the agenda. The Sheriff cut straight to the point, asking, “How do you feel about handling emergency situations caused by major winter storms?”
The candidate took a deep breath, feeling somewhat relieved to find that their experience in disaster response was relevant to the role they were interviewing for. They went on to discuss their years of experience working as an emergency response coordinator for a neighboring county, and how they’ve dealt with similar situations caused by winter storms.
The second person on the panel asked the candidate, “What strategies would you use to help the County of Humboldt seek state and federal funding for storm damage relief?”
The candidate explained that they would first research all available funding options and work closely with relevant agencies to ensure that the application process was completed successfully. They also stated that they would gather all necessary documentation, such as damage assessments and cost estimates, to support the request for funding.
The third and final panel member asked, “How do you handle high-pressure situations and remain calm while making quick decisions?”
The candidate replied that they have received extensive training in emergency response management, and they would rely on that training to help them stay calm and make quick decisions in high-pressure situations. They also mentioned their ability to delegate tasks and communicate effectively with team members to ensure that everyone remains on the same page during a crisis.
The panel thanked the candidate for their responses, and they were dismissed with the promise of a follow-up call. As the candidate left the room, they couldn’t help but feel hopeful about their chances of landing the job. They knew that with their experience and skills, they could play a vital role in helping the County of Humboldt recover from the devastating effects of the winter storms.

2. Consider a 1% Contribution of the Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Funds (LATCF) to the newly created National Center for Public Lands Counties (The Center) (Supervisor Michelle Bushnell)
Supervisor Michelle Bushnell is proposing that Humboldt County contributes 1% of its Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Funds to the newly created National Center for Public Lands Counties. The Center will help demonstrate the importance of public lands counties and their contributions to the United States through media and research. The one-time contribution would be $31,965.36 and is being requested due to the doubling of the Payment-In-Lieu-of-Taxes funding. Other counties may also choose to contribute. The action supports building interjurisdictional and regional cooperation. The Board could also consider contributing a different amount or choose not to contribute at all.
— LoCOBot
Socrates: Greetings, my friends. It seems we are gathered here today to discuss a matter of financial contribution to the newly created National Center for Public Lands Counties. Supervisor Michelle Bushnell has recommended a 1% contribution of Humboldt County Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Funds to the Center. Is this correct?
Board of Supervisors: Yes, that is correct, Socrates.
Socrates: And this contribution would come from the Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund / General Fund?
Board of Supervisors: Yes, that is correct.
Socrates: May I ask why the recommendation is being made? What is the purpose of this National Center for Public Lands Counties?
Supervisor Michelle Bushnell: The Center was created to give public lands counties an enhanced opportunity to demonstrate how prosperous public lands counties create a prosperous United States. The Center will utilize traditional and new media to tell these stories and also develop detailed, individual research and written county profiles. Counties know that telling our stories is our most powerful tool in bringing resources and attention to our communities. The timing of creation of The Center is linked to the once-in-a-generation doubling of the typical annual Payment-In-Lieu-of-Taxes (PILT) funding that is directly due to the extensive advocacy efforts of NACo during American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) negotiations.
Socrates: I see. And how much is the requested contribution from each county?
Supervisor Michelle Bushnell: The requested amount is equivalent to one percent of each county’s allocation under the Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund (LATCF), which was awarded through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). For Humboldt County, our total was $3,196,536.10 for Fiscal Years 2022 and 2023. A one-time 1% contribution would be $31,965.36.
Socrates: And if a county chooses not to make a contribution, what would the alternative be?
Supervisor Michelle Bushnell: The Board could consider a different amount for contribution or could choose to make no contribution to retain funds for local expenditures.
Socrates: I see. And how would the county’s contribution be collected and passed along to NACo?
Supervisor Michelle Bushnell: County contributions will be collected through CSAC and passed along to NACo.
Socrates: Thank you for clarifying that. Does the Board have any further questions or concerns about this recommendation?
Board of Supervisors: We have none, Socrates.
Socrates: In that case, let us proceed with the vote. All those in favor of considering a 1% contribution of Humboldt County Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Funds to the National Center for Public Lands Counties, please raise your hand.
(Board of Supervisors raises their hands)
Socrates: It appears the vote is unanimous. The recommendation passes. Thank you for your time, my friends.

H. DEPARTMENT REPORTS
1. Board Resolution Affirming Our Stance Against Hate
The County of Humboldt is having a meeting on May 2, 2023, and one of the things they will discuss is a board resolution against hate. The recommendation is for the board to adopt the resolution and receive a letter from community leaders also affirming their stance against hate. The county received a hateful message threatening the lives of some communities, and the board wants to condemn identity-based hate and continue their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The resolution does not cost anything, and it aligns with the board’s strategic framework of protecting vulnerable populations. There are no other agencies involved, and the board has the discretion to choose an alternative to staff recommendations. Attached to the meeting’s agenda are the resolution and the letter from community leaders.
— LoCOBot
The scene opens on a crowded board room in the County of Humboldt building. The five members of the Board of Supervisors sit at a long table at the front of the room, facing a group of concerned citizens. The Clerk of the Board stands to the side, reading the recommendation for the resolution against hate.
SUPERVISOR JOHNSON: (leaning forward) Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It’s important that we take a stand against hate and bigotry in our community.
SUPERVISOR GONZALEZ: (nodding) Absolutely. We need to make sure all people feel safe and welcome here.
The audience murmurs in agreement.
CLERK OF THE BOARD: (clearing throat) With that in mind, I recommend the adoption of the resolution and the receipt of the attached letter Affirming Our Stance Against Hate.
SUPERVISOR MORGAN: (leaning back) Can we take a moment to review the letter?
The Clerk of the Board passes out copies of the letter to each supervisor. The room falls silent as each member reads it. After a few moments, they set the letters down and look at each other.
SUPERVISOR JONES: (sighs heavily) It’s heartbreaking to think that there are still people out there who would threaten the safety of minority groups.
SUPERVISOR GONZALEZ: (clenching jaw) We need to make it clear that hate has no place in our community.
SUPERVISOR MORGAN: (firmly) Agreed. Let’s vote on it.
The Board of Supervisors vote unanimously to adopt the resolution and receive the letter. As the audience applauds, the supervisors stand and shake hands with each other. The scene ends with the Board of Supervisors leaving the room, deep in discussion about how they can further promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in their county.

2. Consider the Appointment of an At-Large Member to the Audit Committee
The County of Humboldt is having a meeting in which they will consider appointing Corey Weber to the Audit Committee. There is no financial impact to this appointment, but the Audit Committee oversees the county’s annual audit. Corey Weber has served on the Audit Committee before and has been contacted to be reappointed. He will serve for an additional two-year term if appointed. All appointed members are required to comply with the California Fair Political Act and file form 700’s as well as completing the AB1234 Ethics Training requirements every two years. The action supports the board’s strategic framework of fostering transparent, accessible, welcoming, and user-friendly services. There are no other applications to be considered at this time, and it is not recommended to wait for a larger pool of applicants.

3. 2022 Pavement Management Program Update and Future Maintenance Funding Options and Supplemental Budget for CAO-Management & Budget Team, Budget Unit 1100-103 (4/5 Vote Required)
The County of Humboldt Public Works Department has provided an update on its 2022 Pavement Management Program and possible future funding sources for maintaining and improving road infrastructure. They recommend the formation of a Roads Ad Hoc Committee to review and recommend actions related to a local revenue measure in 2024, as well as the approval of a professional services agreement with Lew Edwards Group to conduct public opinion research on potential funding options. The report highlights the need for additional funding to maintain and improve the current road system and discusses short- and long-term funding sources that could be used. The report also outlines the impacts of each funding source on factors such as revenue generation, ease of implementation, political feasibility, equity, transportation system performance, flexibility, and larger policy goals. The report emphasizes the importance of public opinion on deciding on the level of road maintenance and the need for appropriate funding to achieve that level. A supplemental budget request is included to fund the professional services agreement, and funding sources for the request are detailed. The report notes that not pursuing a tax measure would result in continuing deterioration of the County Maintained Road System and is not recommended. Overall, the report highlights the need for increased funding to maintain and improve road infrastructure in Humboldt County.

… or, as a Rodney Dangerfield joke!
“I went to a Board of Supervisors meeting in Humboldt County and they were discussing the pavement management program. They need $571.6 million over the next 10 years to fix the roads. I told them, ‘Hey, I’ve got a solution- just put some of that funding towards my comedy tour and you won’t need roads, because everyone will be rolling in the aisles!’”
