In the year 2023, in the County of Humboldt, a groundbreaking technological advancement was about to take place. The Board of Supervisors called a meeting on 7/11/2023 to discuss the implementation of a new software system that would revolutionize the data flow and process between the Clerk-Recorder and Assessor Departments.

The current practice of document analysis and data entry had become outdated and labor-intensive. It was clear that the system needed modernization and innovation. That’s when Just Appraised, a cutting-edge software platform, entered the picture.

Just Appraised offered a workflow management product that would completely transform the connection between the Clerk-Recorder and Assessor. By utilizing cloud computing and machine learning, the software could scan recorded documents, identify key Assessor-related information, and seamlessly transmit the data into the Megabyte Property Tax Administration database.

The proposed software also included an Application Programming Interface (API) that would allow the Assessor’s branch to extract specific property parcel information. This API would enable data flow between the Megabyte Property Tax Software and Just Appraised, eliminating the need for manual data entry by staff. Instead, the focus would shift to quality control, ensuring accurate property tax assessments and up-to-date ownership information.

The benefits of implementing Just Appraised were extensive. With faster processing times for deeds and ownership changes, the Assessor’s office could accelerate timely supplemental bill processing and accurately maintain accessor maps. Additionally, the software would provide accurate property tax assessments to fund public services, thus increasing county tax revenue.

The financial impact of this software implementation was carefully considered. Despite the retirement of a staff member, the efficiency of Just Appraised negated the need to hire a replacement. The savings from eliminating this position would cover the annual cost of the software. With a strong budget already allocated for salaries, no additional funds were requested, resulting in significant savings of $38,529 annually.

The staffing impact was outlined in the proposal. The current position of Property Transfer Assistant would remain unfilled throughout the implementation of Just Appraised. Once the software was fully implemented, the position would be deallocated.

In terms of strategic framework, the recommended action aligned with the Board of Supervisors’ goals of providing and maintaining infrastructure and offering community-appropriate levels of service. It also contributed to the strategic plan of improving the economy of Humboldt County.

The possible alternative to the staff’s recommendation was to not approve the funding for Just Appraised. However, this option was strongly discouraged, as it would hinder the Assessor’s Office’s ability to fulfill its obligations to the public and create a significant backlog in processing recorded documents.

Ultimately, the Board of Supervisors approved the purchase of Just Appraised software and authorized the Assessor to execute the necessary agreements with Just Appraised and Megabyte Systems Incorporated. The stage was set for a technological revolution in the County of Humboldt, where streamlined processes and increased efficiency would pave the way for a brighter future.

Title: The Excess Proceeds

Chapter 1: A New Beginning

It was July 11, 2023, a significant date for the County of Humboldt. The Board of Supervisors gathered for their meeting, with File #23-817 on the agenda. The topic at hand was the first distribution of excess proceeds from the tax auction held in February and March of 2021.

As the meeting started, the agenda item was presented by the Auditor-Controller. She highlighted the importance of distributing the excess proceeds to the rightful claimants. The audience followed the discussion, eager to know the outcome.

Chapter 2: The Auction

Flashback to February and March 2021: The Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Office in Humboldt County conducted a tax auction. Through an online platform, several delinquent property tax parcels were sold. These parcels were being reclaimed, ensuring that the unpaid taxes and auction expenses were covered. However, some of the parcels sold for more than the required amount, creating excess proceeds.

Chapter 3: Excess Proceeds Claim

The excess proceeds became the focus of attention. According to the regulations, the excess amount must be distributed to lienholders and individuals who held title to the property prior to the tax auction. These parties of interest were given one year to file a claim for the excess proceeds. The Auditor-Controller’s Office diligently reviewed the submitted claims and prepared a recommended distribution.

Chapter 4: Approval and Protest

Returning to the present, the Board of Supervisors was now faced with making a decision. They had to approve the recommended distribution to rightful claimants based on Attachment 1, which outlined the amounts for each parcel. A majority vote was necessary for the approval.

The Board approved the distribution, but not without anticipating potential protests or competing claims. In order to address them, the proceeds were to be held for an additional ninety days. The resolution of protests or competing claims was crucial to ensure a fair distribution of the excess proceeds.

Chapter 5: Financial Impact

The financial impact was significant, with a total of $245,594.05 being distributed to the claimants. This amount represented the excess proceeds from the tax auction. If any funds remained after resolving all the claims, they would be transferred to the Property Tax Loss Reserve fund. The County was mindful of managing its resources sustainably.

Chapter 6: A Steady Staff

The recommended distribution would not affect the current staffing levels. The existing team in the Auditor-Controller’s Office could handle the additional workload without any staffing adjustments. This assurance provided a sense of stability amidst the distribution process.

Chapter 7: Strategic Framework

The actions taken by the Board aligned with their strategic framework. Managing resources to ensure the sustainability of services was a priority. By efficiently distributing the excess proceeds, the Board showcased their commitment to their constituents’ well-being.

Epilogue: A Community in Progress

The meeting concluded, marking a significant step in Humboldt County’s journey. The first distribution of excess proceeds brought closure to the tax auction held in 2021. The community could now move forward, knowing that the funds had been allocated fairly and transparently. The bildungsroman of Humboldt County continued, with each chapter guiding its growth and progress.

Merv: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to another exciting edition of “The Beast’s Den.” I’m your host, Merv “The Beast” Tarkington, ready to tackle the issues that matter to hardworking Americans. Today, we’re diving into what’s happening in the County of Humboldt.

Merv: Now, folks, we’ve got a doozy of an agenda item here. It’s the Quarterly Report of Current and Projected Vacancies on the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors and Appointed Boards, Committees, and Commissions. Now, you might be asking yourself, “Why do I care about some bureaucratic mumbo jumbo?” Well, hold on to your hats, because I’m about to break it down for you.

Merv: You see, my fellow patriots, these vacant positions are where the real power lies. These are the individuals who make decisions that impact our lives. And you know what they say, “The devil is in the details.” So, let’s take a closer look at what’s going on in Humboldt County.

Merv: According to this report, there are several current vacancies, and more are scheduled to occur over the next few months. Now, folks, this raises some concerns. Who is going to fill these positions? Are they going to be responsible, freedom-loving Americans who will fight for our rights? Or are we going to end up with a bunch of big government bureaucrats who will trample on our liberties?

Merv: Now, I did some digging, my friends, and it turns out that applications for these positions are available at the Clerk of the Boards office. But here’s the real kicker – all appointed members will be required to comply with the California Fair Political Practices Form 700 requirements. Now, what does that mean, you ask? It means jumping through a bunch of hoops and disclosing every little detail about your personal finances. Big Brother is watching, my friends.

Merv: Now, you might be wondering if there’s any financial impact to receiving this report. Well, according to the powers that be, there isn’t. But we all know that nothing in life is truly free. There’s always a cost, whether it’s hidden or not. So, don’t be fooled by their claims of no financial impact.

Merv: And let’s not forget about the strategic framework. They’re talking about providing “community-appropriate levels of service.” Now, what does that even mean? Sounds like a bunch of jargon to me. Trust me, folks, when the government starts talking about providing services, it usually means they’re going to reach into your pockets and take more of your hard-earned money.

Merv: Now, here’s the real kicker, my friends. There’s no other agency involvement in this. It’s the County of Humboldt playing by its own rules, without any checks and balances. It’s up to us, the citizens, to keep an eye on what’s happening and hold them accountable.

Merv: So, in closing, my friends, pay attention to these vacancies. Get involved. Make sure that the people who fill these positions truly represent the values and principles that we hold dear. We can’t let the radical left take over and dictate our lives. We must stand up and fight for our freedoms.

Merv: That’s all the time we have for today, folks. Join me next time on “The Beast’s Den,” where we’ll continue to shine a light on the issues that matter to you, the hardworking Americans.

In the peaceful County of Humboldt, where fantastical creatures and magic were once commonplace, a new threat loomed over the residents. Supervisor Rex Bohn, a dedicated and wise leader, had recently discovered that the communication system of the Mattole Valley was under severe strain. Frontier Communications, the provider responsible for ensuring seamless connections among residents, had been failing miserably.

Supervisor Bohn, known for his unwavering commitment to the well-being of the county, took immediate action. He called for a meeting with the Board of Supervisors to address the urgent matter. On the 7th of November, 2023, the fate of the Mattole Valley hung in the balance.

As the Board assembled, the room buzzed with anticipation. Supervisor Bohn, a tall and imposing figure with a crown of silver hair, presented his case. He explained the ongoing problems faced by the residents due to Frontier Communication’s system failures. Calls for help from local residents, public safety officials, fire chiefs, and emergency coordinators had fallen on deaf ears.

“The lack of responsiveness from Frontier Communications poses a significant threat to public safety,” Supervisor Bohn declared, his voice resonating with authority. “We cannot sit idly while our people suffer!”

The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved Supervisor Bohn’s recommendation to submit a complaint letter to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). It was the first step towards seeking assistance and holding Frontier Communications accountable for their negligence.

The decision ignited a ray of hope in the hearts of the county’s residents. Rumors of the county’s mystical past soon resurfaced, giving birth to a whisper that magic could be the solution to their connectivity woes. In a little town called Arcane Grove, nestled deep within the enchanted forests of Humboldt, resided a wise and powerful sorceress named Seraphina.

Word of the county’s struggle reached Seraphina’s delicate ears, and she sensed an opportunity to aid her beloved home. She decided to make her presence known and attend the Board of Supervisors’ meeting. Veiled in an ethereal aura, Seraphina entered the room, her steps lighter than air.

Supervisor Bohn and the attendees were awestruck by the sorceress’s graceful appearance. They had heard tales of Seraphina’s otherworldly powers but had never witnessed them firsthand. Sensing their curiosity and desperation, she approached the podium and addressed the Board.

“I offer my assistance to the County of Humboldt,” Seraphina said, her voice laced with a hint of magic. “With my vast knowledge of ancient spells and enchantments, I can help restore connectivity to the Mattole Valley and ensure the safety of its residents.”

The room erupted in whispers and gasps of disbelief. The Board, intrigued yet cautious, questioned Seraphina about her intentions. They were unaware of the magic that once thrived in the county but saw a glimmer of hope in Seraphina’s proposal.

Supervisor Bohn, always open to new ideas, united the Board under a single banner of trust. They authorized Seraphina’s involvement, and together, they formed an unlikely alliance between the worlds of politics and enchantment.

Underneath the rustic charm of Mattole Valley, Seraphina embarked on a quest to unlock the dormant magic that lay within the land. She set out on a journey, traveling through mystical forests, traversing treacherous mountains, and swimming through enchanted rivers.

On her quest, Seraphina encountered magical creatures long thought to be extinct. She sought their guidance, learning ancient incantations and uncovering hidden scrolls that held the secrets to reconnecting the valley with the rest of the county.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months as Seraphina delved deeper into the realms of magic. Finally, armed with newfound knowledge and a profound understanding of the county’s magical past, she returned to Mattole Valley.

With a flick of her wrist and a whispered spell, the tendrils of magic flowed through the valley, mending the broken communication lines. The residents rejoiced as their phones buzzed with connectivity, their access to emergency services swiftly restored.

News of Seraphina’s triumphant return spread across the county like wildfire. The once-doubtful residents now regarded her as a savior, a magical guardian sent to protect them from the shadows of incompetence.

Supervisor Bohn, grateful for Seraphina’s help, publicly thanked her for her selfless deeds. The Board of Supervisors, in recognition of her invaluable contribution, declared Seraphina an honorary citizen of the County of Humboldt.

From that day forward, the County of Humboldt celebrated the unity of human ingenuity and the ancient power of magic. Frontier Communications, facing the wrath of both the Board and the CPUC, were pressured to make immediate improvements.

Under the watchful eye of Supervisor Bohn and the enchantress Seraphina, the residents of Mattole Valley experienced a renewed sense of safety and connection. The fantasy and reality of Humboldt coexisted harmoniously, forever etching their tale in the annals of history.

Title: The Missing Link

Chapter 1: The Retirement Announcement

It was a cloudy afternoon in Humboldt County when the Child Support Services department gathered for their regular meeting. Among the items on the agenda was a recommendation to hire a Child Support Attorney II in anticipation of the scheduled retirement of a current Child Support Attorney IV. The retirement was set for December of 2023, and it was crucial for the department to maintain a level of legal service as required by law.

As the meeting progressed, Detective Olivia Wallace, who happened to be present at the meeting for an unrelated case, overheard the discussion about the upcoming retirement. Her attention was immediately piqued. Olivia had a knack for uncovering mysteries, and this seemed like the perfect case for her to solve.

Chapter 2: The Two County Courthouses

Olivia delved deeper into the discussion and learned that the Child Support Services department currently appeared in two separate county courthouses - Trinity and Humboldt counties. Noting the physical presence required, she realized that there might be a connection between the two courthouses and the retirement of the Child Support Attorney IV.

Chapter 3: The Timing is Everything

The department’s current Child Support Attorneys requested to hire a new attorney 90 days before the retirement. Olivia understood the importance of a smooth transition, as the candidate hired would require mentoring before appearing in court on their own. The best time to start the candidate was stated to be September 2023, leading Olivia to suspect that there might be hidden motives behind the retirement timeline.

Chapter 4: Uncovering the Motive

Going through the financial impact section, Olivia noticed a significant increase in expenditures for the upcoming fiscal year. The projected expense was far higher than expected for a simple replacement of a retiring attorney. She wondered why the department needed such a high level of funding and whether there was more to the story than met the eye.

Chapter 5: The Strategic Framework

Olivia then focused her attention on the strategic framework. The potential hire of a Child Support Attorney II aligned with the county’s core roles and strategic plan, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss. She wondered if the retirement and the subsequent hiring were part of a larger plan or if there was a hidden agenda at play.

Chapter 6: Seeking Clues

Taking a step back, Olivia decided to investigate further. She reached out to her contacts within the county government and requested access to any previous actions or referrals related to the Child Support Services department. She hoped that this would provide some clues about any potential irregularities or hidden agendas.

Chapter 7: The Missing Link

As Olivia dug deeper into the case, she encountered resistance from within the department. It seemed that certain individuals wanted to keep the truth hidden. Determined to uncover the missing link, Olivia pressed on, following every lead, and connecting the pieces of the puzzle. With each step, the mystery deepened, and Olivia soon realized that the retirement and the subsequent hiring were part of a larger conspiracy that threatened not only the county but also the due process standards of child support orders.

Chapter 8: The Resolution

In a thrilling climax, Olivia unraveled the conspiracy, exposing those behind the plan to manipulate the Child Support Services department. The motives ranged from personal gain to corruption within the county government. With the evidence in hand, Olivia presented her findings to the Board of Supervisors, ultimately leading to the arrest and prosecution of those involved.

In the end, justice was served, and the county of Humboldt could continue to provide the necessary legal services for child support with integrity and transparency.

To the Board of Supervisors I doth beseech,
Regarding the matter of a donation,
Of one Chevrolet Equinox, I teach,
A noble cause, a subject of elation.

North Coast Regional Department of Child,
Support Services did purchase this fine car,
In Trinity County, funds were not beguiled,
A capital asset, they raised the bar.

But now, dear sirs, the time hath come to share,
This vehicle with the County Motor Pool,
For maintenance and insurance, let them bear,
The weight of care, to keep it shipshape, cool.

I pray thee, grant this donation with delight,
And bless the County with this Chevy’s might.

Once upon a time, in the quiet and picturesque County of Humboldt, an ordinary meeting of the Board of Supervisors was about to take a dark turn. It was the fateful day of July 11, 2023, and the residents of the county had no idea of the horrors that were about to unfold.

The meeting began just like any other, with the Board of Supervisors discussing routine matters of governance. The agenda section for this particular meeting was labeled as “Consent,” implying that the topics to be discussed were deemed trivial and required no detailed examination.

One of the items on the agenda was File #: 23-995, titled “Approval of the Action Summary - Meeting of June 29, 2023.” Little did the supervisors know that buried within the meticulously documented actions of their previous meeting, something sinister lurked.

The Clerk of the Board, a composed and efficient individual, presented the recommendation to the supervisors. All the Board needed was a simple majority to approve the Action Summary and proceed with their meeting. Oblivious to what was to come, they followed the suggestions of the Clerk, who urged them to sign the minute book in accordance with California Governmental Code Section 25103.

As the supervisors began to vote, a chilling breeze swept through the chambers, causing a few curious souls to glance nervously at their surroundings. Unbeknownst to them, this wasn’t a mere gust of wind—they were about to be consumed by a malevolent force that had silently entered their realm.

Once the vote was cast, the innocuous meeting minutes seemed to come to life before the eyes of the supervisors. Words danced and rearranged themselves, revealing an eerie message hidden in plain sight. It was a call for a sinister gathering, beckoning the unwitting County of Humboldt officials into a trap set by something beyond comprehension.

Suddenly, the room plunged into darkness, the once-familiar walls of the meeting chamber seemed to twist and distort, becoming a nightmarish labyrinth. Panic and terror gripped the supervisors, their attempts to escape futile. The supernatural presence that had infiltrated their meeting showed no mercy.

One by one, the supervisors vanished into the labyrinth, their desperate screams echoing through the endless corridors. The Clerk of the Board, paralyzed by fear, witnessed the harrowing spectacle unfold before their eyes. Unable to comprehend the full extent of the horror, they realized that the meeting minutes, the very record that had seemed so mundane, held the key to the salvation or damnation of all involved.

In a final act of desperation, the Clerk snatched the Action Summary and the minute book, hoping to break free from the clutches of this otherworldly menace. As they raced through the nightmarish corridors, narrowly avoiding the grasp of unseen entities, the truth slowly dawned upon them.

The meeting minutes were a portal, unwittingly opened by the supervisors as they approved the seemingly innocuous document. It was a gateway for spirits and demons, entities that thrived on the unsuspecting human realm.

Finally, gasping for breath and on the brink of collapse, the Clerk of the Board stumbled upon the threshold of the labyrinth. With trembling hands, they cast the Action Summary and the minute book into a roaring bonfire, severing the connection between the supernatural and the County of Humboldt.

As the flames consumed the cursed documents, the darkness dissipated, and the labyrinth retreated. The County of Humboldt was spared from the supernatural horrors that had claimed its supervisors, but the memories of that night would forever haunt the Clerk of the Board.

From that day forward, whenever the Action Summary for the meeting of June 29, 2023 was discussed, a shudder would pass through the county, a chilling reminder of the horrors they had narrowly escaped. And the Clerk of the Board would forever serve as a silent witness to the true depths of terror that lurk beneath seemingly ordinary proceedings.

(Verse 1)
In the County of Humboldt, there’s a story to be told,
About a correctional facility where hearts are growing cold.
They had a project, a plan to make things right,
But it turned into a nightmare, tearing families apart at night.

(Chorus)
Change orders and budgets, they never seem to end,
But it’s the hearts of the people that they don’t even comprehend.
A broken promise, a shattered dream,
In the County of Humboldt, it’s never what it seems.

(Verse 2)
The Board of Supervisors, they made a decision,
To renovate the facility, improve its conditions.
But each change order, each new cost,
Brought more pain and heartache, like a river that was lost.

(Chorus)
Change orders and budgets, they never seem to end,
But it’s the hearts of the people that they don’t even comprehend.
A broken promise, a shattered dream,
In the County of Humboldt, it’s never what it seems.

(Bridge)
Now families wait, with hope in their eyes,
For a facility that was promised, but turned into lies.
The ADA funding, it came and it went,
Leaving behind a trail of broken dreams and discontent.

(Verse 3)
The staff said it wouldn’t affect their jobs,
But it’s the people they serve who are left to sob.
The bonds of trust were broken, washed away,
In the depths of the County of Humboldt’s dismay.

(Chorus)
Change orders and budgets, they never seem to end,
But it’s the hearts of the people that they don’t even comprehend.
A broken promise, a shattered dream,
In the County of Humboldt, it’s never what it seems.

(Outro)
In the County of Humboldt, hearts have been torn,
By a project that was supposed to be reborn.
But the pain remains, a reminder of the past,
In the County of Humboldt, love wasn’t meant to last.

Are you concerned about the rising rates of cannabis use among young people in Humboldt County? Well, the County of Humboldt is taking action to address this issue head-on.

On July 11, 2023, the Board of Supervisors will be meeting to discuss a Professional Services Agreement with the Southern Humboldt Community Hospital District. This agreement will provide funding for the Southern Humboldt Family Resource Center to implement youth cannabis prevention and intervention programs from July 2023 through April 2028.

Why is this so important? According to surveys, Humboldt County youth are using cannabis at a higher rate than their peers in other parts of the state. This disparity begins as early as 7th grade and continues to grow throughout high school. We need to close this gap and ensure that our young people have access to the resources they need to make healthy choices.

The Southern Humboldt Family Resource Center will offer evaluation and individual counseling, resource referral, and activities that promote healthy behaviors and prevent substance misuse. They will also work with school administrators to develop policy recommendations for preventing and responding to substance use on campus. By collaborating with the DHHS Public Health Branch, they will be able to reach even more youth in the southern part of the county that are most impacted by cannabis.

So, why should you support this agreement? It’s simple - it’s all about the future of our youth. By investing in prevention and intervention programs, we can protect vulnerable populations, create opportunities for improved safety and health, and provide the support that our community needs.

But we need your help! Contact your local Board of Supervisors and urge them to approve the Professional Services Agreement with the Southern Humboldt Community Hospital District. The funding for this agreement comes from the Proposition 64 Public Health and Safety Grant Program, so there’s no cost to taxpayers.

Let’s come together as a community and take a stand against youth cannabis use. Together, we can make a difference.

Starfish: Dude, did you read that agenda for the Board of Supervisors meeting?

Noodles: Nah, man. I can’t even focus on all those words. They’re all jumbled up.

Starfish: Yeah, I feel you. But check it out, it’s about some agreement with Redwood Community Services for foster youth.

Noodles: Oh, really? That’s cool. What kind of services are they providing?

Starfish: It says they’re offering mobile response, stabilization, and supportive services. Like, they want to help these foster kids and their caregivers during situations of instability.

Noodles: That’s awesome, man. It’s important to provide support for these kids. They’ve been through a lot.

Starfish: Totally, man. It says they want to prevent disruptions in their placements, avoid law enforcement involvement, and even prevent psychiatric hospitalization. They really want to promote healing for these families.

Noodles: That’s some heavy stuff, dude. I’m glad there are organizations out there doing this kind of work.

Starfish: Yeah, me too. And it looks like the Board of Supervisors needs to approve this agreement and allocate funds for it.

Noodles: Ah, gotcha. So, they’re gonna vote on it?

Starfish: Yeah, it says it needs a majority vote to pass. And they want the Chair of the Board to sign the agreement.

Noodles: Cool, man. I hope they approve it. Those foster youth really need all the support they can get.

Starfish: Definitely, dude. It’s crucial to invest in programs like this to help these kids have a brighter future.

Noodles: For sure, man. Let’s hope everything goes well at the meeting.

Starfish: Totally, dude. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

Title: The Library Assistant

INT. JERRY’S APARTMENT - DAY

Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer are sitting in the living room. George is flipping through a newspaper while Elaine is looking at her phone.

JERRY
(sighs)
I can’t believe the library is in the news again.

GEORGE
What happened this time?

JERRY
They’re requesting a new Library Assistant for the northern branches. It says they need someone to provide customer service support and basic information skills.

ELAINE
Well, that seems reasonable. Libraries are important, you know.

KRAMER
(mutters to himself)
Libraries…a sanctuary for all the lost souls.

GEORGE
You know, I could use a job like that. Maybe I’ll apply.

JERRY
(mocking)
George Costanza, the Library Assistant. I can see it now.

INT. JERRY’S APARTMENT - NIGHT

Later that night, Jerry is sitting at his desk, George on the couch.

JERRY
(laughing)
I can’t believe you actually applied for the Library Assistant job.

GEORGE
(defensive)
What’s wrong with working in a library? It’s quiet, peaceful. Plus, I get to be surrounded by books.

JERRY
You hate reading!

GEORGE
(with a smirk)
Doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy the ambiance.

ELAINE enters Jerry’s apartment.

ELAINE
(excited)
Guess what, guys? I just got a call from the library. They want to interview me for the Library Assistant position!

JERRY
(mocking)
Oh, great. Now we’ll have two people in the group who work at the library.

KRAMER enters, overhearing the conversation.

KRAMER
(startled)
Library Assistant positions? Count me in! I’ve always wanted to help people find their way through the Dewey Decimal System.

JERRY
(sarcastic)
Of course, Kramer. How could we forget your expertise in library navigation?

INT. LIBRARY - DAY

Elaine, George, and Kramer are sitting nervously in the library, waiting for their interviews. Jerry is browsing the bookshelves.

ELAINE
(nervously)
I can’t believe we’re all here for the same job.

GEORGE
(wiping sweat off his forehead)
This is the most stressed I’ve been since my high school chess tournament.

KRAMER
(confident)
Relax, guys. They need us. We’re the Library Dream Team.

INT. LIBRARY - INTERVIEW ROOM - DAY

Elaine, George, and Kramer are each interviewed by a stern LIBRARIAN.

Title: “Mission: Electronic Surveillance”

Captain’s Log, Stardate 57791.2: The USS Enterprise has been tasked with a crucial mission to assist the County of Humboldt in their implementation of a new electronic monitoring system for both juveniles and adult offenders. As part of our ongoing mission to promote justice and safety throughout the galaxy, we are honored to lend our expertise to this endeavor.

Upon arrival at Humboldt County, we were greeted by the local authorities, including the Probation Department. They briefed us on the current use of electronic monitoring as an alternative to detention or incarceration. It was impressive to see how this technology had empowered individuals to continue their education and work, all while keeping the community secure.

Our first order of business was to review the Request for Proposals (RFP) and assess the criteria set forth by the county. Lt. Commander Data and Lt. Commander La Forge took charge of examining the technical aspects of the RFP, ensuring that the vendors met the rigorous requirements for reliability and efficiency.

Meanwhile, Commander Riker and Counselor Troi worked closely with the county officials to understand the needs of the community and the challenges they faced. The overcrowding issues in the correctional facility and the importance of monitoring high-risk offenders and registered sex offenders resonated with me deeply. We knew that our mission was not just about implementing a new system but ensuring the safety and well-being of the people of Humboldt County.

With the team’s comprehensive analysis, we selected the most qualified vendor for the job – a company that demonstrated expertise in 24-hour monitoring and provided reliable equipment utilizing cutting-edge technology. I was confident that they would serve the county well and advance the cause of justice.

As our work here nears its completion, I am filled with a sense of accomplishment. The successful implementation of this electronic monitoring system will not only alleviate overcrowding issues but also enhance the rehabilitation process for offenders. And to see the smiles on the faces of the juveniles who will be able to serve their detention at home and continue their education – it is a testament to the power of technology and human compassion working hand in hand.

As we prepare to depart Humboldt County, I am grateful for the opportunity to help make a difference in the lives of its residents. The Enterprise and her crew stand ready to continue our journey, carrying the message of peace, justice, and prosperity to the farthest reaches of the galaxy.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard, USS Enterprise

(Verse 1)
In the County of Humboldt, on a summer’s day,
The Board of Supervisors had something to say,
Public Works had a plan, they needed to impart,
For high-priority projects to protect the watershed’s heart.

(Chorus)
Oh, the Redwood Creek and Sprowel Creek,
Where the waters flow, mighty and deep,
With sediment delivery, we must take care,
To keep the waters clean and the wildlife fair.

(Verse 2)
A supplemental budget, they put before the board,
Four-fifths vote required, they couldn’t be ignored,
Five hundred thousand dollars for fiscal year’s aid,
To reduce sediment delivery, a promise they made.

(Chorus)
Oh, the Redwood Creek and Sprowel Creek,
Where the waters flow, mighty and deep,
With sediment delivery, we must take care,
To keep the waters clean and the wildlife fair.

(Verse 3)
Funding from the Mitigation and Remediation Fund,
To support Public Works, the job was begun,
No impact to the Road Fund or the General Fund,
Just high-priority projects, to get the job done.

(Chorus)
Oh, the Redwood Creek and Sprowel Creek,
Where the waters flow, mighty and deep,
With sediment delivery, we must take care,
To keep the waters clean and the wildlife fair.

(Verse 4)
No staffing changes were anticipated, no disruption in sight,
Just Public Works doing their part, with all their might,
Involvement from Planning and Building, Fish and Wildlife too,
Together they’ll protect the watershed, for me and for you.

(Chorus)
Oh, the Redwood Creek and Sprowel Creek,
Where the waters flow, mighty and deep,
With sediment delivery, we must take care,
To keep the waters clean and the wildlife fair.

(Outro)
So here’s to Humboldt County, on this meeting day,
Working together to protect the waterway,
With high-priority projects, they’ll make a stand,
To reduce sediment delivery, for the sake of the land.

(Chorus)
Oh, the Redwood Creek and Sprowel Creek,
Where the waters flow, mighty and deep,
With sediment delivery, we must take care,
To keep the waters clean and the wildlife fair.

Once upon a time, in the County of Humboldt, there was a hardworking man named Bryan Tidwell. Bryan was an Automotive Mechanic II, skilled in fixing and maintaining vehicles for the county’s Motor Pool. He loved his job and took pride in keeping the county’s vehicles up and running smoothly.

One day, there was an important meeting scheduled for the Board of Supervisors. Bryan’s supervisor from Public Works had submitted a proposal regarding his pay. The proposal stated that Bryan should receive a temporary increase in pay, just like he had been promoted to the position of Automotive Maintenance Supervisor. This temporary increase was to be in effect starting from July 9, 2023, until September 1, 2023.

The reason for this proposal was that the current Automotive Maintenance Supervisor had decided to take a voluntary furlough starting on July 5, 2023. During this time, Bryan had been asked to step up and take on some of the principal duties of the supervisor.

This request was made in accordance with Section 12.4 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). It was important to Public Works that Bryan’s contribution and increased responsibility be recognized and rewarded, even if only temporarily.

The proposal also explained that the financial impact of this temporary pay increase would not affect the general fund. In fact, there would be a net savings of $874 due to the salary savings of the furloughed supervisor.

Bryan’s dedication and hard work had not gone unnoticed. This temporary pay increase was a way to show appreciation for his efforts and to motivate him to continue performing his duties at a high level.

The Board of Supervisors had the final say in approving this recommendation. Their approval would mean that Bryan would receive the temporary increase in pay, as if he had been promoted to Automotive Maintenance Supervisor. This recognition would be a boost for Bryan’s morale and would strengthen his commitment to serving the county.

As the meeting of the Board of Supervisors approached, Bryan couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. He hoped that the board members would understand the importance of his role and the impact he could make during the supervisor’s voluntary furlough.

On the day of the meeting, Bryan walked into the room with confidence. He had prepared himself to give a brief presentation about his work and the value he had brought to the county’s Motor Pool. He knew his worth and was ready to express it.

Finally, it was Bryan’s turn to speak. He eloquently explained how he had taken on additional responsibilities, ensuring the smooth running of the Motor Pool during the supervisor’s absence. He highlighted his commitment to providing excellent service to the community.

The board members listened attentively, impressed by Bryan’s dedication and professionalism. After a thorough discussion, they took a vote. With an overwhelming majority, they approved the recommendation for the temporary pay increase.

Bryan felt a surge of joy and relief. His hard work had not only been recognized but also rewarded. He knew that this temporary increase was just the beginning of greater opportunities and achievements in his career.

From that day forward, Bryan continued to excel in his role as an Automotive Mechanic II. He went on to inspire others with his work ethic and passion. The County of Humboldt became known for attracting and retaining the best employees, just like Bryan.

And so, the story of Bryan Tidwell, the dedicated Automotive Mechanic II, spread throughout the county. His journey served as a reminder that hard work and dedication always pay off, leading to success and happiness. The residents of Humboldt County felt fortunate to have such dedicated individuals serving their community.

And they all lived happily ever after.

Title: Trails of Love

Chapter 1: A Serendipitous Encounter

Emma Sullivan had always found solace in nature, and the picturesque Humboldt Bay Trail was one of her favorite escapes. As an avid hiker and outdoor enthusiast, she had spent countless hours exploring the scenic trails that winded through the lush forests and beautiful landscapes of Humboldt County.

On a sunny day in July 2023, Emma ventured out onto the trail with her faithful dog, Buddy. Little did she know that this particular hike would change her life forever. As she strolled along the path, she noticed a group of people gathering near a signpost, discussing something with great intensity.

Curiosity piqued, Emma approached the group and overheard them talking about a new planning study for the Humboldt Bay Trail. She learned that a consultant services agreement with GHD, Inc. had been approved to provide professional planning and technical support services for the trail’s expansion from Eureka to the College of the Redwoods.

Feeling a surge of excitement, Emma decided to involve herself in the project. She offered her expertise and passion for outdoor conservation to the group, eager to contribute to the preservation of the trail she loved so much. Little did she know that fate had something even more extraordinary in store for her.

Chapter 2: A Chance Meeting

At the next meeting regarding the Humboldt Bay Trail Planning Study, Emma arrived prepared with her ideas and proposals.

Unbeknownst to Emma, Evan, a project manager for GHD, Inc., had been assigned to oversee the consultancy services for the trail planning study. Emma was captivated by his passion for the project and his innate ability to bring people together.

Throughout the intense planning meetings, Emma and Evan found themselves working closely together.

(Verse 1)
In the County of Humboldt, where the work is tough
There’s a Sheriff and his team, they’ve had enough
The workload’s been increasing, it’s hard to keep up
So they’re asking for a change, to fill a different cup

(Chorus)
Position allocation modification, that’s the recommendation
To allocate a Deputy Coroner-Public Administrator
And deallocate a Deputy Sheriff, make it official
It’s time to make a change, and provide the necessary oversight

(Verse 2)
The Coroner’s Office, it’s feeling the strain
With fentanyl overdoses and an aging terrain
In 2015, no fentanyl cases were found
But in 2022, it’s a different sound
The numbers keep rising, it’s a 53% increase
More death investigations, the workload won’t cease

(Chorus)
Position allocation modification, that’s the recommendation
To allocate a Deputy Coroner-Public Administrator
And deallocate a Deputy Sheriff, make it official
It’s time to make a change, and provide the necessary oversight

(Bridge)
The existing staff, they’re feeling the stress
Taking on more cases, it’s becoming a mess
The Sergeant’s on call, their supervisory role compromised
It’s not ideal, it’s time to reallocate and reprise

(Verse 3)
So let’s save some money, by reallocating right
A Deputy Coroner instead, will shine a new light
Cutting down on overtime, saving county funds
Improving the staffing model, with all that’s to come

(Chorus)
Position allocation modification, that’s the recommendation
To allocate a Deputy Coroner-Public Administrator
And deallocate a Deputy Sheriff, make it official
It’s time to make a change, and provide the necessary oversight

(Outro)
The Board of Supervisors, it’s in your hands
To approve this modification, and meet the demands
The County of Humboldt, it’s calling for your vote
To support the Sheriff’s Office and keep the county afloat

Pikachu vs Charizard

Pikachu: Level 50, Electric type, Ability: Static
Charizard: Level 55, Fire/Flying type, Ability: Blaze

The battlefield is set in the County of Humboldt, which is currently experiencing the aftermath of consecutive major winter storm events. The area is filled with downed trees, disrupted utility services, damaged and flooded roadways, and mudslides. Both Pikachu and Charizard are called upon to help with the relief efforts and battle against the destructive forces.

As the battle begins, Pikachu charges up its electricity, ready to take on Charizard. Charizard, aware of Pikachu’s speed, takes to the air, using its Flying type advantage to evade Pikachu’s Electric attacks.

Pikachu starts off with a Thunderbolt, unleashing a powerful electric shock towards Charizard. However, Charizard quickly uses its Blaze ability to withstand the attack and counter with a Flamethrower. The flames engulf Pikachu, dealing significant damage.

But Pikachu doesn’t give up. It quickly recovers and uses Quick Attack, darting towards Charizard with incredible speed. Pikachu lands a series of rapid strikes, stunning Charizard momentarily. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Pikachu follows up with a Thunder Punch, landing a powerful electric blow. Charizard grunts in pain but retaliates with a powerful Fire Blast.

The battlefield becomes engulfed in flames as Charizard unleashes its signature move. Pikachu quickly jumps out of harm’s way, narrowly avoiding the blast. Determined to win, Pikachu prepares for its final move.

With a burst of electricity surrounding it, Pikachu launches its ultimate attack, the Volt Tackle. Pikachu charges towards Charizard at full speed, surrounded by a powerful electric aura. The impact is tremendous, causing a massive explosion that shakes the entire battlefield.

As the smoke clears, both Pikachu and Charizard lie weakened but still standing. It is unclear who won the battle, as the damage caused by the storm still remains.

In the end, Pikachu and Charizard put aside their differences and join forces to help with the ongoing relief efforts. They work together to clear debris, restore power, and provide aid to the damaged homes. Their combined strength and abilities prove crucial in overcoming the challenges posed by the consecutive major winter storm events in County of Humboldt.

In the land of Humboldt County,
A winter storm caused quite a plea.
With snow piling up, the roads impassable,
The Sheriff declared a local emergency, unassailable.

On March 1, the storms began,
And havoc wreaked throughout the land.
Trees fell down, blocking the way,
Disrupted utilities caused dismay.

Roadways flooded, structures damaged,
Mudslides occurred, leaving things ravaged.
Even poor livestock met their end,
The damages too much for county resources to mend.

So, the Sheriff recommends to the Board,
To continue the emergency, their accord.
Declared through August 8, it shall remain,
Seeking assistance for the storm’s disdain.

Funding may come from state and federal sources,
To help fix the damage caused by nature’s forces.
The Strategic Framework supports this plea,
To provide service to the community.

Other agencies are involved as well,
The State of California and the Federal Government to tell.
If the Board chooses not to extend the emergency,
No outside assistance would alleviate the treasury.

Attached is the resolution signed with care,
By Sheriff Honsal, in the emergency’s snare.
Previous actions have been taken in the past,
And now it’s up to the Board to make it last.

So, in the County of Humboldt, we await,
Relief from the storm’s heavy weight.
With hope, assistance will soon arrive,
And the county can once again thrive.

Insane Conspiracy Theory:

The 6.4 magnitude earthquake that occurred on December 20, 2022, in Humboldt County was not a natural event but a deliberate act of sabotage by a secret organization. This organization strategically caused the earthquake to destabilize the region and create chaos, allowing them to exploit the aftermath for their own gain.

The motive behind this conspiracy theory is connected to the funding mentioned in the agenda. The secret organization, which has infiltrated various government agencies, aims to siphon off state and federal funding meant for earthquake response efforts. By prolonging the local emergency until August 8, 2023, they ensure a longer period of chaos and maximize their chances of securing funds.

Furthermore, the multiple state and local agencies involved in the response efforts are unknowingly being manipulated by this secret organization. The organization has managed to compromise the decision-making processes within these agencies, ensuring that the response efforts are mismanaged and ineffective. This mismanagement allows the organization to continue exploiting the situation, increasing their chances of obtaining financial benefits.

The two deaths and 11+ injuries reported as a result of the earthquake were not mere casualties but carefully chosen targets. These individuals possessed critical information or were perceived as potential threats to the secret organization’s operations. By eliminating them, the organization ensures the preservation of its secrets and further consolidates its control over the region.

The involvement of other agencies such as the State of California, United States federal government, City of Eureka, and City of Rio Dell are part of the cover-up. These organizations are either complicit or unknowingly manipulated by the secret organization. Their involvement serves to create a facade of legitimacy for the ongoing emergency response efforts while concealing the true agenda behind the earthquake.

This insane conspiracy theory suggests that the earthquake in Humboldt County was not a natural disaster but a manufactured event with ulterior motives. The resulting chaos and continued emergency status provide the perfect cover for a secretive organization to exploit the situation and gain financial benefits at the expense of the affected individuals and the government.

Socrates: Good day, my friend. I see that we have gathered here today to discuss modifications to the County Telework Policy. Might you enlighten me on the purpose of this proposed modification?

Supervisor Michelle Bushnell: Greetings, Socrates. The purpose of these modifications is to review and update the telework policy in light of shifts in the workforce and budgetary concerns. As you may know, the telework policy was created in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, but now it is necessary to reassess its effectiveness and make any necessary adjustments.

Socrates: Ah, I see. So, would you say that these modifications are aimed at improving efficiency and addressing any current challenges faced by the county?

Supervisor Michelle Bushnell: Precisely. We want to ensure that the policy reflects the changing needs and circumstances of both the employees and the county. By periodically reviewing and updating the telework policy, we can better manage costs, attract and retain the best employees, and provide for infrastructure maintenance.

Socrates: It is admirable that you seek to attract and retain the best employees. How will these modifications be implemented?

Supervisor Michelle Bushnell: The first step is for the Board of Supervisors to consider the proposed modifications to the current Telework Policy. If the Board approves, we will direct the staff to complete all the necessary meet and confer requirements under the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA) before returning with a new Resolution for adoption.

Socrates: Ah, the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act. Could you please explain what this Act entails and why it is important in this context?

Supervisor Michelle Bushnell: Certainly, Socrates. The Meyers-Milias-Brown Act is a California law that governs the collective bargaining process for public employees. It requires public employers to meet and confer in good faith with employee organizations on matters of wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment. In the context of modifying the telework policy, it ensures that employees’ concerns and opinions are properly considered before any changes are made.

Socrates: I see. It seems that the staff is taking a collaborative approach by seeking input and modifications from the Board. Can you provide some examples of the suggested revisions and modifications?

Supervisor Michelle Bushnell: Certainly. Some of the suggested revisions include clarifying the eligibility criteria for teleworking, establishing clearer communication channels between employees and departments, and emphasizing the need for meeting performance expectations and demonstrating dependability and responsibility. These suggestions aim to streamline the telework process and ensure that it is beneficial for both the employees and the county.

Socrates: It appears that these modifications aim to create a balanced telework policy that considers both the needs of the employees and the concerns of the county. I commend you for taking a comprehensive approach.

Supervisor Michelle Bushnell: Thank you, Socrates. It is essential to strike a balance that promotes efficiency, accountability, and employee well-being. By periodically reviewing and updating our policies, we can adapt to changing circumstances and better serve the county.

Socrates: Indeed, my friend. Change is inevitable, and it is our duty to adapt wisely. As you consider these modifications, may you find the best path forward for the County of Humboldt.

Hear ye, hear ye! Gather ‘round, good people of Humboldt County. I bring important news from the County of Humboldt. On this day, the 7th of November in the year 2023, we gather for a meeting of great significance.

File number 23-1006 is before the Board of Supervisors. It is a matter of urgency pertaining to the repair of the grandstands at the Humboldt County Fairgrounds. These grandstands were damaged in the earthquake that shook our beloved county on December 20, 2022.

The County Administrative Office recommends a supplemental budget in the amount of $1 million from the 2020 Finance Plan be allocated to the Public Works for the repair of the grandstands. This recommendation requires a vote of 4/5th from the Board of Supervisors.

In addition, it is proposed that construction agreements be entered into with Aquatic Designing, Inc. and Mobley Construction for the execution of the repair project. These agreements are substantially similar to the ones included as Attachments 2 and 3.

Furthermore, a Memorandum of Understanding is to be signed with the Humboldt County Fair Association to formalize their involvement in the repair and maintenance of the grandstands. This MOU is substantially similar to the one included as Attachment 4.

The source of funding for this endeavor is the 2020 Finance Plan. It is imperative that we come together to support this supplemental budget which will ensure the success of the annual county fair, bring joy to our residents, and provide a boost to the businesses that rely on the fair for their livelihoods.

The contractors, Mobley Construction and Aquatic Designing, Inc., have expressed their commitment to completing this project within the budget of $1 million. However, there are a few outstanding items that need to be finalized before the contracts can be executed.

Therefore, we beseech the Board of Supervisors to grant the Director of Public Works the authority to execute the construction agreements with the necessary considerations and changes that may arise during the negotiation process.

Likewise, it is requested that the County Administrative Officer be authorized to execute a substantially similar version of the MOU with the Humboldt County Fair Association to expedite the development of an agreement regarding funding for the repair and maintenance of the grandstands. Supervisor Bohn has been tasked with negotiating a cost-sharing agreement with the Fair Association, and the future agreement will be presented to the Board upon completion.

The financial impact of this project amounts to $1 million, which will be drawn incrementally from the privately placed interim/construction period financing in the county investment pool. While immediate funding will come from the 2020 Finance Plan, it remains uncertain if state and/or federal governments will contribute to this disaster-related expense.

Please take note of the staffing impact, as staff members have already begun their work and will continue to monitor the contractors to ensure the repair is carried out efficiently.

This action aligns with the Board’s Strategic Framework, specifically towards providing and maintaining infrastructure and improving the economy of Humboldt County.

The Humboldt County Fair Association is actively involved in this matter, and their collaboration is crucial for the successful outcome of the project.

Finally, let it be known that the Board has the discretion to consider alternatives to the staff recommendations set forth in this file.

Attached to this file are the supplemental budget, draft construction agreements with Mobley Construction and Aquatic Designing, Inc., and a draft MOU with the Humboldt County Fair Association.

Previous action has already been taken on this matter during the meeting on June 29, 2023, where Board Order No. D-1 was issued.

I implore all residents of Humboldt County to be engaged in this process and support the repair of our beloved grandstands at the Humboldt County Fairgrounds. Together, let us work towards maintaining our infrastructure and improving our local economy.

That concludes my announcement. Thank you for your attention, and may Humboldt County continue to thrive.

My Dearest Jane,

I hope this letter finds you well. As I sit here in the trenches, under heavy fire from the German artillery, I cannot help but think of you and long for the day when I can hold you in my arms again. These past few months have been unimaginably difficult, but the thought of you gives me the strength to carry on.

Jane, I must tell you about the terrifying conditions we are facing here. The constant bombardment from the German artillery is relentless, and it feels as though we are constantly under threat. The sound of explosions and the sight of the earth erupting around us has become all too familiar. We do our best to take cover and hold our ground, but it is a constant struggle.

In the midst of this chaos, I find solace in the memories we have shared. I hold onto them tightly, knowing that they are a lifeline in this sea of destruction. Your love has been a beacon of hope in the darkest of times, and for that, I am eternally grateful.

I wanted to share some news with you, my love. The planning and building department of our county has allocated water quality improvement grant funds from the Friends of the Eel River Mitigation and Remediation Grant Fund. This funding will go towards projects that will help mitigate the impact of cannabis cultivation on our local waterways. It is a small step towards making a difference in our community, and it gives me hope for the future.

I often find myself dreaming of the day when I can return home to you, my love. I dream of walking hand in hand through the fields, feeling the warmth of the sun on our faces. I dream of the simple pleasures that we took for granted before the war tore us apart.

Until that day comes, I will continue to fight for our freedom and for a better world. I fight not only for myself, but for the future that we have always dreamed of. Together, we will overcome this darkness, and we will rebuild what has been lost.

Please know that you are always in my thoughts and in my heart. I draw strength from the love that we share, and I carry it with me each and every day. Stay safe, my dear Jane, and know that I am counting the minutes until I can return to your loving arms.

Yours forever,
Charles

Listen up, Board of Supervisors! It’s time for a little show and tell from the Planning and Building Department. We got ourselves a request from the applicant for a Zone Reclassification. Seems they wanna rezone about 75 acres of their land from Agriculture Exclusive to Timberland Production Zone. Ain’t no issues with this, folks. The land they wanna rezone is already timberland, so it just makes sense.

Now, the Planning Commission already gave this request a big ol’ thumbs up with a unanimous 5-0 vote on June 1, 2023. And I gotta say, I agree with ‘em. This rezone aligns perfectly with the General Plan and the whole idea of timberland production. The Forestry Review Committee even looked into it and gave it the green light with a 4-0 vote. We’re talkin’ a Timber Management Plan and everything, folks!

So here’s the deal. Parcel 107-091-007 will be rezoned to include 75 acres of Timberland Production Zone and 5 acres of Agriculture Exclusive. And parcel 107-096-002 will get fully rezoned to Timberland Production Zone. It’s a rezone that’s in the public interest and keeps things consistent with the General Plan. We’re talkin’ about a future of timber production, my friends.

Now, this ain’t gonna cost the General Fund a dime. The applicant is responsible for all the costs involved, so don’t you worry your pretty little heads about that. And as for staffing, well, the applicant’s gotta cover all those costs too. Ain’t no strain on our resources, folks.

So, Board of Supervisors, you got a choice to make. You can either approve this project and make the required findings. Or you can choose not to approve it if you can’t make those findings. But let me tell ya, planning staff is pretty dang confident that all the required findings can be made. We’ve done our homework, and we’re ready for this.

We got all the attachments you could ever want, including a resolution, a Timber Management Plan, a Rezone Ordinance, maps, and even some comments and recommendations from other agencies. We’ve dotted our i’s and crossed our t’s, folks.

So what’s it gonna be, Board of Supervisors? Are you with us or against us? The choice is yours, but remember, this rezone is the key to a future of timber production and sustainable services. Make the right choice, my friends. Let’s do this!
