Hear ye, hear ye! County of Humboldt citizens, lend me your ears as I bring news from the meeting of April 23, 2024.

The Board of Supervisors is discussing File #24-716 regarding the approval of Standard Agreement No. 96407, the Cannabis Cultivation Licensing Inspection Agreement between Humboldt County and the California Department of Cannabis Control. This agreement, totaling $325,224 for the term of July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2027, aims to enhance public safety in our communities by supporting and sustaining partnerships between public safety and partner agencies.

The waiver from the provisions of the nuclear free ordinance is requested to align with state regulations, as the State of California does not modify its standard agreements to accommodate local ordinances. County agricultural commissioners are tasked with the administration and enforcement of state programs related to cannabis cultivation.

The County has been contracting with the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) to perform state cultivation license site inspections since 2017. With the consolidation of licensing entities into the Department of Cannabis Control in July 2021, county inspections have become crucial in ensuring compliance with laws and regulations.

The financial impact of this agreement is significant, with $108,408 budgeted for each fiscal year from FY24-25 to FY26-27. All costs for inspections, enforcement, and reporting will be covered by the agreement, with reimbursement at a rate of $72.68 per hour.

In conclusion, citizens of Humboldt County, let it be known that the Board of Supervisors recommends the approval of Standard Agreement No. 96407 to ensure the safety and regulatory oversight of commercial cannabis activity in our community. Thank you for your attention, and may the peace and prosperity of Humboldt County continue to flourish.

In the mystical land of Ferndale, located within the County of Humboldt, there was a long-standing tradition that the residents held dear to their hearts - the Festa Do Espirito Santo, the Azorean Portuguese Festival. This festival had been celebrated for over a century, bringing together the Azorean Portuguese community and the larger Ferndale community in a vibrant display of culture and tradition.

Supervisor Rex Bohn of the County of Humboldt had brought forth a proclamation to the Board of Supervisors, recommending that they authorize the Chair to sign a proclamation celebrating the 100th year of the Azorean Portuguese Festival. The proclamation highlighted the importance of this event in honoring the community, sharing food, dancing, and various activities that showcased the rich Azorean Portuguese culture.

The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the proclamation, recognizing the significance of this century-old tradition and the impact it had on the community. As the date of the festival drew nearer, excitement filled the air as preparations were made for the grand celebration.

On the day of the festival, the town of Ferndale was transformed into a magical wonderland. Colorful banners and streamers adorned the streets, and the scent of delicious Portuguese cuisine filled the air. The sound of music and laughter echoed through the town as dancers twirled in traditional Azorean costumes, telling stories of their heritage through their movements.

As the sun began to set, a hush fell over the crowd as the centerpiece of the festival began - the procession of the Holy Spirit. A majestic procession of costumed figures made their way through the streets, carrying symbols of faith and tradition. The air buzzed with anticipation as the procession made its way to the town square, where a grand feast awaited the community.

In a moment of magic and wonder, the skies above Ferndale were filled with twinkling lights as fireworks burst into the night sky, illuminating the town in a spectacular display of color and light. The Azorean Portuguese Festival had not only brought the community together in celebration but had also woven a tapestry of magic and tradition that would live on in the hearts of all who attended.

And so, as the festival came to a close, the residents of Ferndale knew that the spirit of the Azorean Portuguese Festival would live on for another hundred years, carrying with it the traditions, culture, and unity of a community bonded by heritage and celebration.

Title: The Quest for Creative Inspiration

Background:
The County of Humboldt is known for its rich artistic community, with the Humboldt Arts Council at the center of it all. However, a dark shadow has fallen over the creative minds of the county as of late. Artists are struggling to find inspiration, and the once vibrant arts scene is beginning to fade.

The Humboldt Arts Council has come to the Board of Supervisors with a request for support in the form of a resolution to continue the State-Local Partnership Program. The program has been instrumental in funding local arts initiatives and providing resources to artists in need. Without this support, the arts community in Humboldt faces an uncertain future.

As adventurers seeking to restore creativity and inspiration to the county, you are tasked with embarking on a quest to uncover the source of this artistic blight and restore balance to the creative forces of Humboldt.

Objective:

- Ensure the continuation of the State-Local Partnership Program

Quest:
Your journey begins in the heart of Humboldt County, where you will meet with representatives from the Humboldt Arts Council. They will provide you with information about recent events that have led to the decline in artistic expression.

Your ultimate goal is to confront the source of the artistic blight, whether it be a cursed artifact, a vengeful spirit, or a malevolent entity seeking to drain the creative energy from the county.

Socrates: Greetings, my dear fellow Athenians. Today, let us engage in dialogue regarding the upcoming proclamation for National Crime Victims’ Rights Week in the County of Humboldt.

Phaedrus: Indeed, Socrates. Supervisor Rex Bohn recommends that the Board of Supervisors adopt the proclamation to recognize this important week. What are your thoughts on this matter?

Socrates: It is commendable that the Board wishes to acknowledge the rights of crime victims and the dedicated service of the District Attorney’s Victim Witness Program office. However, I wonder if simply proclaiming this week is enough to truly support and sustain partnerships between public safety and partner agencies.

Phaedrus: You raise a valid point, Socrates. Perhaps there could be additional actions taken to further enhance public safety in the community during this week. What suggestions do you have in mind?

Socrates: One potential suggestion could be to organize educational workshops or events to raise awareness about crime victims’ rights and the resources available to them in Humboldt County. By actively engaging the community in these discussions, we may be able to promote a greater understanding and support for victims of crime.

Phaedrus: That is a wise suggestion, Socrates. Engaging the community in dialogue and education is a powerful way to make a lasting impact. I believe that taking such proactive measures would align with the Board’s strategic plan for creating safe and healthy communities.

Socrates: Indeed, Phaedrus. It is essential that we not only acknowledge the importance of crime victims’ rights but also actively work towards ensuring that those rights are upheld and respected. I believe that by taking this proactive approach, we can truly make a difference in the lives of those who have been affected by crime.

Phaedrus: Thank you for your insights, Socrates. I agree that our actions must go beyond mere proclamations and extend towards tangible efforts to support and empower crime victims in our community. I look forward to seeing how the Board of Supervisors continues to advocate for the rights and well-being of all individuals in Humboldt County.

Socrates: As do I, Phaedrus. Let us continue to engage in dialogue and strive towards creating a safer and more just society for all.

In the county of Humboldt, where the redwoods grow tall
A man named Eugene Denson, stood proud and stood tall
His friends called him Ed, his spirit shining bright
Now we gather to honor him, under the clear starry night

Listen up, Board of Supervisors! It looks like you’re just going to sit there and file reports while I’m out here doing all the work.

In Humboldt County by the sea,
The Board of Supervisors had a decree,
To authorize an agreement with Xodus, you see,
For an offshore wind analysis that’s key.

$450,000 is the cost, they say,
To plan for a bright and sustainable way,
For offshore wind farms in the Bay,
Creating jobs and leading the day.

With grants and bonds, the project is grand,
Supporting development throughout the land,
RWE and Vineyard Wind lend a hand,
Humboldt County’s future is looking so grand.

Jana Ganion, a local, takes the lead,
As Senior Advisor for offshore wind’s need,
She ensures that the project will succeed,
Bringing prosperity and growth with great speed.

So let’s sing a cheer for Humboldt County,
For embracing offshore wind energy,
With planning and preparation, they’ll see,
A future that’s green and thriving, you’ll agree.

Title: Scooby-Doo and the Case of the Mental Health Mystery

[The gang is driving in the Mystery Machine through the picturesque countryside of Humboldt County. Fred is at the wheel, Velma is poring over some research, Daphne is fixing her makeup, Shaggy and Scooby are munching on snacks.]

Fred: Alright gang, our next mystery takes us to Humboldt County. It looks like something fishy is going on with the Mental Health Services Authority here.

Velma: According to my research, there have been some suspicious activities regarding the Inter-Member Transfer Program.

Daphne: That doesn’t sound good. We need to get to the bottom of this!

Shaggy: Like, maybe we can help solve the mystery and get some snacks in return?

Scooby: Ruh-roh, Raggy! Let’s jink this mystery!

[They arrive at the County of Humboldt offices and are greeted by the Department of Health and Human Services - Behavioral Health Director.]

Director: Welcome, Mystery Inc.! We’re so glad you’re here to help us with this puzzling situation.

Fred: Can you tell us more about what’s been happening with the Inter-Member Transfer Program?

Director: Well, it seems that there have been some discrepancies in the reimbursement process for mental health services provided to foster youth in our county.

Velma: And I bet those discrepancies are connected to the participation agreement with the California Mental Health Services Authority.

Daphne: It sounds like someone might be trying to take advantage of the system for their own gain.

Shaggy: Zoinks! That’s not cool, man.

Scooby: Yeah, we need to get to the bottom of this mystery and make sure those in need are getting the help they deserve.

[The gang splits up to investigate further. Velma and Fred head to the County Counsel’s office, Daphne and Shaggy check out the Risk Management department, while Scooby follows a trail of clues to the County Administrative Office.]

Director: Did you find anything?

Velma: Yes, it seems that there have been some unauthorized amendments made to the participation agreement, allowing for funds to be diverted elsewhere.

Daphne: And we think we know who’s behind it!

Shaggy: Like, let’s unmask this villain and solve the mystery once and for all!

Scooby: Ruh-roh, Raggy! Let’s do it!

[The gang confronts the villain, who confesses to their scheme to defraud the system. With the evidence in hand, they hand the culprit over to the authorities.]

Fred: Another mystery solved, thanks to the keen detective work of Mystery Inc.!

Velma: And another case of justice served for the people of Humboldt County.

Title: Love in the Redwoods

Chapter 1: The Meeting

As the sun rose over the towering redwoods of Humboldt County, Nurse-Family Partnership nurse, Olivia, prepared for her meeting with the Board of Supervisors. She straightened her blue scrubs, ran her fingers through her hair, and took a deep breath. Today was a special day - the Wolff Family Trust had generously donated $500 to the Nurse-Family Partnership program.

Olivia knew how important these donations were. The Nurse-Family Partnership program provided vital support to first-time, low-income mothers in the county. It was a chance for these mothers to receive home visits, guidance, and emotional support from nurses like Olivia. The program had a proven track record of improving child and maternal health outcomes, and Olivia was proud to be a part of it.

As Olivia entered the boardroom, she was met with the gaze of a striking man sitting at the table. His name was Lucas Wolff, the trustee of the Wolff Family Trust. His eyes sparkled with intelligence and kindness, and Olivia felt an instant connection to him.

Chapter 2: The Connection

Lucas couldn’t take his eyes off Olivia as she presented the benefits of the Nurse-Family Partnership program to the Board of Supervisors. Her passion and dedication shone through in every word she spoke, and Lucas found himself captivated by her.

After the meeting, Lucas approached Olivia and thanked her for her work with the program. They struck up a conversation that flowed effortlessly between them. They discovered a shared love for the redwoods, nature, and helping others.

As they parted ways, Lucas couldn’t shake the feeling that he had just met someone special. Olivia, too, found herself thinking about Lucas long after he had left the boardroom.

Chapter 3: The Donation

Over the following weeks, Olivia and Lucas found themselves drawn to each other. They met for coffee, took walks in the redwoods, and shared their hopes and dreams for the future. Olivia learned about Lucas’s family and the history of the Wolff Family Trust, while Lucas marveled at Olivia’s dedication to her work.

When the time came for the annual donation from the Wolff Family Trust, Lucas surprised Olivia by suggesting they deliver the $500 check together. As they stood in front of the Nurse-Family Partnership office, Olivia felt a surge of gratitude towards Lucas and his family. Their generosity would make a real difference in the lives of the mothers and children they served.

Chapter 4: Love in Bloom

As the days turned into weeks and the weeks turned into months, Olivia and Lucas’s bond deepened. They shared their pasts, their fears, and their hopes for the future. Lucas revealed that he had been hesitant to get close to someone again after a painful breakup, but Olivia had changed everything for him.

Under the towering redwoods of Humboldt County, Olivia and Lucas’s love blossomed. They knew they were meant to be together, and nothing could stand in the way of their happiness.

And so, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the love of their community, Olivia and Lucas embarked on a journey of love, trust, and commitment that would last a lifetime. In the heart of the redwoods, their love story found its perfect ending.

[The scene opens in a small, dimly lit conference room. The Board of Supervisors, a group of five individuals, sit around a large table covered in papers. The DHHS Public Health Director, a stern and confident woman, stands at a podium, addressing the board.]

Public Health Director: (clearing her throat) Good morning, honorable members of the Board of Supervisors. Today, I bring before you a memorandum of understanding with the California Department of Public Health regarding the STD 340B drug pricing program.

Supervisor 1: (leaning forward) Can you explain to us the significance of this memorandum, Director?

Public Health Director: Absolutely. The 340B program allows us to purchase discounted drugs to treat sexually transmitted diseases in our community. This memorandum solidifies our relationship with the state and ensures that we have access to the necessary medications to combat the rise of STDs in Humboldt County.

Supervisor 2: (nodding) And what is the financial impact of this agreement?

Public Health Director: The financial impact is minimal, as the primary benefit is cost savings for the purchase of STD drugs. This program allows us to stretch our resources further and reach more vulnerable populations in need of treatment.

Supervisor 3: (frowning) Are there any alternatives to approving this memorandum?

Public Health Director: Unfortunately, not approving this memorandum would severely limit our ability to provide adequate STD treatment to the community. Without access to discounted drugs, we would struggle to meet the growing demand for services.

Supervisor 4: (raising an eyebrow) I think it’s clear that this memorandum is in the best interest of our county. I move to approve and authorize the Department of Health and Human Services - Public Health Director to execute this agreement.

Supervisor 5: (nodding in agreement) I second that motion.

[The Board of Supervisors vote unanimously to approve the memorandum of understanding. The Public Health Director exhales a sigh of relief and thanks the board for their support. The scene fades to black as the sound of papers shuffling fills the room.]

The City of Arcata had always been a quiet, peaceful place, with its lush greenery and picturesque scenery. But something sinister was lurking beneath the surface, hidden within the shadows of the trees and the whispers of the wind. As the Board of Supervisors approved the professional services agreement with the City of Arcata regarding the provision of temporary shelter for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, they unknowingly unleashed a darkness that had been lying dormant for centuries.

The homeless individuals who sought shelter in Arcata soon began to experience strange occurrences. Whispers in the night, shadows moving in the corner of their eyes, and a sense of unease that permeated the air. The City of Arcata seemed to come alive after dark, with eerie lights flickering in the distance and a feeling of being watched that sent shivers down their spines.

As the days passed, more and more homeless individuals went missing, their tents abandoned and belongings scattered. The city became a ghost town, with only the faint sound of distant screams breaking the silence of the night. The case managers who were supposed to provide support and assistance found themselves facing a force they could not comprehend, their efforts to help the homeless met with resistance from an unknown entity that seemed to feed on their fear.

Rumors spread like wildfire through the city, tales of a malevolent presence that haunted the streets and preyed on the most vulnerable. The Board of Supervisors, unable to ignore the growing sense of dread that gripped the City of Arcata, launched an investigation into the paranormal activities that had plagued the area since the agreement was signed.

What they discovered was beyond their worst nightmares. Beneath the surface of Arcata lay a dark history of ancient rituals and curses, a malevolent force that had been awakened by the influx of homeless individuals seeking shelter. The City of Arcata had unwittingly opened a portal to the other side, unleashing a horror that threatened to consume them all.

As the Board of Supervisors scrambled to contain the situation, they realized that the only way to stop the malevolent force was to close the portal and banish the darkness back to where it came from. But as they delved deeper into the ancient rituals and dark magic that had been unleashed, they realized that the price of their ignorance would be steep.

The City of Arcata became a battleground between light and darkness, as the Board of Supervisors fought to save the homeless individuals who had unwittingly become pawns in a game they did not understand. And as the final showdown played out in the shadows of the city, the fate of Arcata hung in the balance, its future uncertain in the face of a horror that had been unleashed by a simple agreement gone terribly wrong.

Starfish: Hey man, have you seen this document from the County of Humboldt about transferring funds for veterans’ buildings utilities?

Noodles: Whoa, dude, that sounds like some heavy stuff. But like, does it really matter?

Starfish: Yeah, man, it’s important. They’re trying to figure out how to pay for the utilities at these veterans memorial buildings in Arcata, Ferndale, and Fortuna.

Noodles: Ah, I see. So, are they gonna manage and pay the utility costs directly, or are the veterans gonna still handle it?

Starfish: It looks like they’re discussing both options. Public Works might manage and pay directly, or the veterans could continue to handle it with adjustments based on actual costs.

Noodles: Woah, that’s a lot of money they’re transferring. Like, over 40 grand, man.

Starfish: Yeah, it’s a big chunk of change. But they need to make sure these buildings have the funds to cover their utility costs.

Noodles: Makes sense, man. I hope they figure it out. Hey, do you think they’d mind if we took a breather and had a little smoke break?

Starfish: Haha, I don’t think they’d mind at all. Let’s take a break and enjoy the moment, man.

Once upon a time in the County of Humboldt, there was a beautiful town called McKinleyville. In McKinleyville, there were two wonderful schools – McKinleyville High School and Morris Elementary School. However, the journey to school was not always safe for the children who walked or rode their bicycles.

One day, the County of Humboldt decided to make a change. They received grant funding from the California Department of Transportation’s Active Transportation Program to create the McKinleyville Safe Routes to School Project. This project aimed to make the journey to school safer for all the students in McKinleyville.

The Public Works Department worked tirelessly to design and construct pedestrian and bicycle safety features near the schools. They upgraded curb ramps, installed bike lanes, and even installed solar-powered flashing signs for pedestrian crossings. The project was a huge undertaking, but everyone worked together to make it a success.

After many months of hard work, the project was finally completed. The Board of Supervisors gathered for a meeting on April 23, 2024, to accept the completed contract for the McKinleyville Safe Routes to School Project. They were thrilled with the results and proud of everyone involved in making McKinleyville a safer place for the children.

As the sun began to set over McKinleyville, the children drifted off to sleep with thoughts of the newly improved safe routes to school. They knew that their journey to school would be much easier and safer now, thanks to the hard work of the Public Works Department and the County of Humboldt.

And so, the children of McKinleyville slept peacefully, dreaming of all the adventures that awaited them on their now safe journey to school. And as they slept, the stars above twinkled brightly, shining down on the town that had come together to create a safer, brighter future for all. The end.

Captain Kathryn Janeway sat in her ready room aboard the USS Voyager, reviewing the latest reports from the North Coast Resource Partnership. The mention of grants and technical assistance funding caught her attention, as it aligned with their mission to explore new worlds and seek out new civilizations.

“Commander Tuvok, have you heard about the North Coast Resource Partnership?” Captain Janeway asked as she turned to her loyal Vulcan security chief.

Tuvok raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the captain’s question. “I have not, Captain. What is it about?”

“It’s a coalition of counties and tribes working together to support water and wastewater infrastructure projects in the North Coast region,” Janeway explained. “They’ve been successful in securing grant funding and are now looking to expand their technical assistance capacity.”

Tuvok nodded in understanding. “It seems like a commendable initiative, Captain. How can we assist them?”

“I’d like to offer our expertise and resources to help with their projects,” Janeway said decisively. “We can provide them with our scientific knowledge and technology to enhance their technical assistance efforts.”

As Janeway and Tuvok discussed the details of their potential collaboration with the NCRP, Ensign Kim interrupted with an urgent message from Starfleet Command. The message detailed a distress call from a nearby planet suffering from a water crisis, desperately in need of assistance.

“Looks like our next mission has just presented itself,” Janeway said with determination. “Tuvok, set a course for the planet and inform the NCRP that we’ll be joining forces with them on this mission.”

As Voyager sped towards the planet in need, Captain Janeway couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement. This new alliance with the North Coast Resource Partnership would not only benefit the planet they were about to aid but also strengthen the bonds between their crew and the inhabitants of the North Coast region.

Together, they would boldly go where no one had gone before, bringing hope and assistance to those in need. The spirit of cooperation and exploration that defined Starfleet would guide them on this new adventure, as they embarked on a mission to make a difference in the galaxy.

Welcome back to the Merv “The Beast” Tarkington show, folks. Today, we’re delving into the latest example of government overreach and incompetence right here in beautiful Humboldt County.

We’ve got the Board of Supervisors pushing through a resolution to extend the local emergency proclamation due to the imminent failure of Centerville Road. That’s right, folks, instead of properly maintaining our roads and infrastructure, our local government is content to sit back and wait for disaster to strike before taking any action.

Now, I don’t know about you, but I like to plan ahead. I like to make sure my family and my property are safe and secure. But it seems like the powers that be in Humboldt County would rather wait until it’s too late to do anything about it.

And what’s their solution to this impending disaster? Well, it looks like they’re just hoping and praying that the state and federal government will come swooping in to save the day with some emergency funding. But why should we have to rely on handouts from the government when our own local officials should be taking care of business right here at home?

It’s time for the people of Humboldt County to stand up and demand better from our elected officials. We deserve leaders who are proactive, who are prepared, and who are committed to keeping our communities safe and thriving.

So, I urge you, my fellow patriots, to call your Board of Supervisors and let them know that we won’t stand for this kind of negligence and incompetence any longer. It’s time to hold our leaders accountable and demand real solutions to the challenges facing our community.

Until next time, this is Merv “The Beast” Tarkington signing off. Stay vigilant, stay informed, and stay strong. Let’s make Humboldt County great again!

Conspiracy Theory: The Sheriff’s Office is using the Statewide Flood Emergency Response (ER) grant as a cover-up for a secret government project. The grant money is not actually being used for flood response and planning efforts, but rather for a covert operation to control the weather and create artificial floods in certain areas to manipulate the population. The update to the County’s Flood Contingency Plan and the development of a Levee Safety Plan are just facades to conceal the true intentions of the Sheriff’s Office. The emergency lighting purchased with the grant money will be used to signal operatives involved in the conspiracy, and the training provided to community partners and public safety personnel is actually a cover for indoctrination into the secret project. This conspiracy goes all the way to the top, with government agencies like the California Department of Water Resources being complicit in the scheme. It’s all a carefully orchestrated plan to control and manipulate the population under the guise of emergency preparedness.

Title: The Cultivation Conundrum

Chapter 1: The Discovery

Detective Sarah Monroe sat at her desk, sifting through the files spread out in front of her. One file, in particular, caught her attention - File #: 24-741. It detailed the revocation of a Conditional Use Permit for a cannabis cultivation site in Humboldt County. The permit holder had failed to comply with the terms and conditions of the permit, and the site was deemed a public nuisance.

Intrigued, Sarah delved deeper into the file, reading through the project history and grounds for revocation. It was clear that the permit holder had been unresponsive to the Planning and Building Department’s attempts to rectify the violations. The site was in disarray, with hazardous materials left uncontained and wildlife at risk.

Chapter 2: The Investigation Begins

Determined to uncover the truth behind the neglected cultivation site, Sarah decided to visit the location herself. As she drove through the winding roads of Humboldt County, she couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to this case than met the eye.

Arriving at the site, Sarah was greeted by a rundown property littered with debris and overgrown vegetation. It was clear that no cultivation had taken place in quite some time, but the signs of past activity were evident.

Chapter 3: Unraveling the Mystery

As Sarah explored the site, she stumbled upon a hidden compartment buried beneath a pile of dirt. Curious, she dug it out and uncovered a stash of documents hidden within. Among them was a map detailing the layout of the cultivation site and a series of encrypted messages.

Determined to crack the code, Sarah enlisted the help of her colleague, Detective James Bennett. Together, they worked tirelessly to decipher the messages, slowly unraveling a web of deceit and betrayal.

Chapter 4: The Final Showdown

As Sarah and James delved deeper into the investigation, they uncovered a complex network of illegal activities tied to the cultivation site. It became clear that the permit holder was involved in smuggling operations and had used the site as a front for their illegal endeavors.

Armed with their evidence, Sarah and James presented their findings to the Board of Supervisors, leading to the swift revocation of the Conditional Use Permit. The permit holder was arrested, and justice was served.

In the end, Sarah reflected on the case, grateful for the opportunity to bring closure to the neglected cultivation site and uncover the truth behind the facade of legality. The Cultivation Conundrum had been solved, thanks to her keen detective skills and unwavering determination.
