Detective John Miller sat at his desk, flipping through the Action Summary for the meeting of May 21, 2024 in Humboldt County. Something about this document seemed off to him. As he read through the list of actions taken by the Board of Supervisors, a feeling of unease washed over him.

There were the usual approvals and authorizations, nothing out of the ordinary. But as John looked closer at the Minute Book, he noticed a discrepancy. One of the actions listed, the approval of a new construction project in the county, didn’t match the details in the meeting minutes. It was as if someone had slipped in a fake approval and tried to cover it up.

John’s detective instincts kicked in. He knew there was more to this than met the eye. As he delved deeper into the document, he discovered that the source of funding for the construction project was listed as the General Fund, but there was no record of any such allocation in the county budget.

With a sinking feeling in his gut, John knew he had stumbled upon something big. Someone was trying to embezzle money from the county, and they were using the Board of Supervisors to do it. But who could be behind this scheme? And how deep did it go?

John knew he had to act fast. He gathered his team of investigators and set out to unravel the mystery. As they dug deeper into the records and interviewed key personnel, they uncovered a web of deceit and corruption that reached all the way to the top.

With time running out, John and his team raced against the clock to gather enough evidence to bring the culprits to justice. It was a dangerous game of cat and mouse, with the fate of the county hanging in the balance.

In the end, John’s tenacity and keen investigative skills paid off. The guilty parties were brought to justice, and the county was saved from financial ruin. As he sat back in his office, John knew that his work was far from over. But for now, he could take solace in the fact that justice had been served in the County of Humboldt. And he would always be ready to answer the call of duty, no matter what challenges lay ahead.

Title: Lights, Camera, Humboldt: A Journey in Film

Protagonist: Maya Banks

Maya Banks had always dreamed of making it big in the film industry. Growing up in the small County of Humboldt, she was surrounded by the lush redwood forests and breathtaking natural landscapes that had attracted filmmakers to the region for years. As a child, she would spend hours watching movies and envisioning herself on the big screen, living out adventures and telling stories that would captivate audiences around the world.

Despite her passion for film, Maya had never considered that her dreams could become a reality in her own hometown. It wasn’t until she attended a community meeting where the renewal of the agreement with the Redwood Region Entertainment and Education Liaisons, Inc. (RREEL) was being discussed, that she realized the potential for growth and opportunity right at her doorstep.

As she listened to the presentation about the Film Humboldt incentive program and the impact that film production had on the local economy, Maya felt a spark of inspiration ignite within her. This was her chance to be a part of something bigger, to contribute to the vibrant arts community in Humboldt County, and to pursue her passion for storytelling through the medium of film.

Determined to seize this opportunity, Maya approached the RREEL team after the meeting and expressed her interest in getting involved. They were impressed by her enthusiasm and offered her an internship to learn the ropes of film production and promotion. Over the course of the next three years, Maya dove headfirst into the world of filmmaking, gaining invaluable experience and knowledge that she could have never imagined.

Through her work with RREEL, Maya met industry professionals, honed her skills in marketing and event coordination, and developed a deep appreciation for the art of storytelling through film. She traveled across Humboldt County, scouting locations, assisting with film permits, and promoting local talent to attract filmmakers to the region. Each day brought new challenges and opportunities for growth, pushing Maya out of her comfort zone and encouraging her to push the boundaries of her creativity.

As Maya’s internship came to an end, she found herself transformed by the experiences and relationships she had cultivated along the way. She had blossomed from a wide-eyed dreamer into a confident and capable young professional, ready to take on the world of filmmaking with passion and purpose. With the support of RREEL and the Humboldt-Del Norte Film Commission, Maya knew that her journey was only just beginning.

Armed with a newfound sense of determination and a network of mentors and friends in the industry, Maya set out to pursue her dreams of becoming a filmmaker in her beloved County of Humboldt. The lights, camera, and action of her childhood fantasies were now within reach, and she was ready to make her mark on the silver screen, one frame at a time.

The meeting room was packed with concerned citizens, officials, and volunteers, all eager to discuss the grant agreement with California CareForce. Supervisor Carter sat at the head of the table, flipping through the documents in front of her as she listened to the arguments for and against the agreement.

As the discussion continued, a sense of unease settled over the room. There were whispers of corruption and hidden agendas, accusations thrown back and forth like daggers. Supervisor Carter frowned, trying to steer the conversation back on track.

But just as she opened her mouth to speak, the lights flickered and went out, plunging the room into darkness. A few gasps echoed through the room, quickly followed by panicked whispers. Supervisor Carter reached for her phone, fumbling in the dark to turn on the flashlight.

As the beam of light cut through the darkness, she caught movement out of the corner of her eye. Someone was standing in the shadows at the back of the room, watching them. Supervisor Carter’s heart pounded in her chest as she strained to make out the figure in the dim light.

Suddenly, a voice broke the silence, sending chills down Supervisor Carter’s spine. “You shouldn’t have come here,” the voice whispered, low and menacing.

Before anyone could react, chaos erupted in the room. Shouts and cries filled the air as people scrambled to their feet, trying to make sense of the situation. Supervisor Carter knew they were in danger, but she had no idea who the mysterious figure was or what they wanted.

As the lights flickered back on, the figure disappeared, leaving behind a sense of fear and uncertainty. Supervisor Carter knew that the meeting had taken a dark turn, and the grant agreement with California CareForce was now at the center of a dangerous conspiracy. And she had no idea who she could trust.

It was the year 2024 in the County of Humboldt, and the Board of Supervisors was convening to discuss a critical issue regarding the Behavioral Health Department’s Substance Use Disorder (SUD) budget. The recommendation on the table was to approve a supplemental budget of $1,833,324 for the Fiscal Year 2023-2024. This additional funding was necessary to support the expansion and improvement of the county’s processes for treating individuals with substance use disorders.

The Substance Use Disorder division was dedicated to providing recovery-oriented services to help program participants develop the skills needed to live free from harmful substances. With the approval of the Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System (DMC-ODS) Pilot Program, the state of California aimed to enhance its treatment services for those struggling with substance use disorders. Participation in this program required counties to provide a full continuum of treatment services based on the American Society of Addiction Medicine criteria.

In collaboration with Partnership HealthPlan of California (PHC), the County of Humboldt had submitted a DMC-ODS Pilot Program Implementation Plan, which was now known as the Wellness and Recovery Program Regional Model. This program aimed to identify and provide covered DMC-ODS services to eligible beneficiaries in the county. In order to meet the obligations related to Indian Health Care Providers (IHCP) in DMC-ODS counties, the county had to adjust its budget to accommodate the all-inclusive rate payments.

As the meeting progressed, concerns were raised about the financial impact of the supplemental budget and the projected expenditures for the coming years. While the funding sources included State and Federal funds, as well as patient revenue, it was clear that additional resources were needed to sustain the county’s efforts in addressing substance use disorders effectively.

Amidst the discussions, a sudden disruption occurred in the meeting room, causing the lights to flicker and the room to shake. As everyone looked around in confusion, a bright flash of light illuminated the room, and a mysterious figure appeared before them. It was a being unlike anything they had ever seen, with glowing eyes and a metallic sheen to its skin.

“I am from a distant planet,” the being spoke in a voice that seemed to reverberate through the room. “We have been monitoring your efforts to combat substance use disorders, and we believe we can offer assistance.”

The Board of Supervisors was stunned, unsure of how to respond to this unexpected visitor. But as the being explained its advanced technology and knowledge of behavioral health treatments, they began to see the potential benefits of accepting its help.

In the days that followed, the alien being worked alongside the county’s Behavioral Health Department, introducing innovative treatments and therapies that revolutionized their approach to substance use disorders. With the alien’s assistance, the county was able to make significant progress in supporting individuals on their path to recovery.

As the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 came to a close, the Board of Supervisors looked back on the events of that fateful meeting with gratitude. The unexpected encounter had opened doors to new possibilities and ushered in a new era of cooperation between humankind and beings from beyond the stars. And so, the County of Humboldt’s efforts to combat substance use disorders were forever changed by the intervention of a benevolent alien visitor.

Moe Hogan: Alright, folks, welcome back to “The Moe Hogan Experience.” Today, we have a very special guest with us, the author of this document from the County of Humboldt. Now, tell me, what’s all this about funding for mental health wellness grants for children and youth? Sounds like a government conspiracy to me.

Author: Well, actually, it’s not a conspiracy at all. The California Health Facilities Financing Authority awarded funding to the County of Humboldt to implement a Children’s Crisis Residential Treatment Program. It’s designed to help children and youth experiencing behavioral health crises.

Moe Hogan: Ah, I see, I see. But, how do we know this funding isn’t being used for something more sinister? Like mind control or something?

Author: There’s no need to worry. The funding has specific guidelines and will be used for the intended purpose of providing critical mental health services to those in need.

Moe Hogan: Alright, alright. Well, I’ll have my producer look into that just to be sure. Now, let’s talk about our sponsor for today, folks. Have you tried the latest dietary supplement from XYZ Company? Let me tell you, it’s changed my life. I’ve never felt better since I started taking it. Trust me, folks, this stuff works wonders.

Producer: Actually, Moe, I just looked it up, and there’s no evidence to support the claims made by XYZ Company about their product. It’s best to be cautious when trying new supplements.

Moe Hogan: Well, folks, looks like I may have been mistaken about that supplement. But hey, that’s the beauty of this podcast - we’re always learning and growing. Thanks for tuning in to “The Moe Hogan Experience.”

Conspiracy Theory: The Humboldt County Library is actually a front for a secret government organization that is using the conference rooms as a cover for their covert operations. By assigning the Garberville Campus Complex Conference Room to the library, they are able to operate under the guise of community activities while conducting high-level intelligence missions. The reduced rental rates are a way to attract unsuspecting civilians to the conference rooms, where they may unknowingly become involved in government experiments and surveillance programs. The Library Fund is just a front to funnel money into these secretive operations, all under the guise of providing library services to the public. This is all part of a larger government conspiracy to control the population through hidden means.

As the sun began to set on the small county of Humboldt, a sense of unease settled over the residents. The decision to reduce walk-in service hours for the Planning and Building Department seemed like a simple administrative change, but little did they know it would unleash a terror unlike anything they had ever experienced.

As the days passed and the new hours went into effect, strange things started happening in the county. People reported hearing whispers in the empty hallways of the department, feeling a chill run down their spines as they passed by the closed office doors. Some even claimed to have seen shadowy figures flitting in and out of the building after hours.

Rumors began to spread like wildfire, with some attributing the strange occurrences to the restless spirits of those who had once roamed the county. Others believed it was a malevolent force unleashed by the decision to reduce counter hours.

But the truth was far more sinister than anyone could have imagined. The reduction in staff had inadvertently severed a barrier that had kept a dark entity at bay for years. With fewer people manning the front desk, the entity had found a way to slip through and wreak havoc on the unsuspecting residents.

As the nights grew darker and the terror escalated, the residents of Humboldt found themselves facing a horror beyond their wildest nightmares. Shadowy figures lurked in the corners, whispers echoed through the empty halls, and a sense of dread hung heavy in the air.

Despite their best efforts to fight back, the entity seemed to grow stronger with each passing day, feeding off the fear and chaos it had created. The once peaceful county was now a hotbed of terror, with no end in sight.

And so, the residents of Humboldt were left to wonder if they would ever be able to reclaim their once peaceful home or if they were doomed to live in fear for the rest of their days. The decision to reduce walk-in service hours had unwittingly unleashed a horror that now held the county in its icy grip, promising a future filled with darkness and despair.

(Verse 1)
Driving down Washington Avenue, tears streaming down my face
Remembering the night we met, that old familiar place
Now they’re changing all the signs, saying we can’t park no more
But every space on that street, holds memories galore

(Chorus)
Oh, McKinleyville, you’re breaking my heart
Taking away the only place where we could park
Now I’m left here all alone, with nothing left to do
Just wishing I could turn back time, and be right there with you

(Verse 2)
Public Works says it’s for the best, to keep the traffic clear
But they don’t understand, the memories held so dear
Every spot we used to share, now taken by a sign
Leaving me to wander, through this broken heart of mine

(Chorus)
Oh, McKinleyville, you’re breaking my heart
Taking away the only place where we could park
Now I’m left here all alone, with nothing left to do
Just wishing I could turn back time, and be right there with you

(Bridge)
I’ll drive by that old street, and remember all we had
But now it’s just a memory, fading and turning sad
I’ll never find another spot, as sacred as that place
Just an empty space on Washington, where we used to embrace

(Chorus)
Oh, McKinleyville, you’re breaking my heart
Taking away the only place where we could park
Now I’m left here all alone, with nothing left to do
Just wishing I could turn back time, and be right there with you

(Outro)
So I’ll drive away from Washington, with a heavy heart inside
Knowing that the parking’s gone, but our love will never die
I’ll hold onto those memories, as I drive into the night
Oh McKinleyville, you’re breaking my heart, but I’ll be alright.

Hear ye, hear ye! By the order of the County of Humboldt, let it be known that a bid award authorization for storm damage repair to Mattole Road (Bull Creek) at Post Miles 13.66-13.68 and 16.15 is on the agenda for the meeting of June 11, 2024.

The Department of Public Works recommends that the Board of Supervisors receive and file the bid proposals, award the project agreement to G.R. Wilcox Enterprises, Inc., for a total amount of $1,061,150.69, and authorize the necessary actions to move forward with the project. The source of funding for this project comes from the Road Fund and the Federal Highway Administration Emergency Relief Fund.

It is important to note that this project is essential for the repair and maintenance of our infrastructure, and not awarding the project agreement could have negative consequences for the County of Humboldt. The project will restore the roadway to pre-disaster conditions using funds that would not otherwise be available to us.

The County of Humboldt faces challenges with funding for road projects, as there is currently a negative fund balance in the Road Fund. The timing of Federal Emergency Management Agency reimbursements can lead to delays in receiving repayment, further impacting our financial situation. It is imperative that we address these challenges and secure additional revenue sources to ensure the continued maintenance and improvement of our transportation network.

In conclusion, the Board of Supervisors is called upon to consider this bid award authorization for the storm damage repair project on Mattole Road. Let us work together to support our community and maintain our vital infrastructure. Thank you for your attention.

Once upon a time in the magical County of Humboldt, a group of supervisors gathered for a meeting on a warm summer day in the year 2024. The topic of discussion was the completion of the Redway Drive/Redwood Drive Highway Safety Improvement Project, a project that had been in the works for several years.

The project had been funded by the California Department of Transportation Highway Safety Improvement Program, as well as the Redway Community Services District. It aimed to provide safety improvements for pedestrians crossing at the intersection of Redway Drive and Redwood Drive. The project included the installation of lighting, upgraded curb ramps, sidewalks, and a driveway to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act standards.

After a long process of planning, design, and construction, the project was finally completed. The Board of Supervisors was presented with a recommendation from the Public Works Department to accept the completed contract with Ford Logging, Inc. dba Pacific Earthscape, the company that had been hired to carry out the construction.

As the supervisors discussed the project, they marveled at the progress that had been made and the positive impact it would have on the community. They listened to the financial impact of the project, noting that it had been funded by a combination of state funds, local contributions, and the Humboldt County Road Fund.

Despite some challenges with funding, including a negative balance in the Road Fund, the supervisors were committed to supporting infrastructure projects like the Redway Drive/Redwood Drive Highway Safety Improvement Project. They recognized the importance of providing safe and efficient transportation for their residents.

After much discussion and deliberation, the Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to accept the completed contract and approve the final payment for the project. The residents of Humboldt County would now benefit from the improved safety measures at the intersection of Redway Drive and Redwood Drive.

As the meeting came to a close, the supervisors felt a sense of accomplishment and pride in their work. They knew that they were making a positive difference in their community, one project at a time. And so, the magical County of Humboldt continued to thrive, with its dedicated leaders working tirelessly to ensure the well-being of all who lived there.

1.0 FTE allocation, in budget unit high,
To help with workflow, efficiencies pursue,
And achieve the savings that budget doth defy.

The Accounting Technician and Assistant,
Shall be deallocated, positions lost,
To make way for the Supervisor shining gallant,
And an extra-help Secretary’s cost.

Exemption to the hiring freeze, they require,
To proceed with recruitment, aspirations higher.

🔗 Other Agency Involvement: Humboldt County Superior Court and Auditor-Controller are involved in the discharge process.

⚖️ Alternatives: Board could choose to keep accounts active, but discharging them is critical for meeting performance measures.

Beavis: Uh, hey, Butt-head, what’s a Conditional Use Permit?

Butt-head: I don’t know, dude. It sounds like some boring adult stuff.

Beavis: Yeah, like, does it have to do with, like, getting tickets for concerts and stuff?

Butt-head: I think it’s more about, like, weed or something. It says something about cannabis dispensary and distribution facility.

Beavis: Oh yeah, like, they’re revoking some permits for those things. Are they shutting down the weed places?

Butt-head: Yeah, it says the use for the permits have ceased to exist. Maybe they ran out of weed.

Beavis: Heh heh, they ran out of weed. That’s pretty funny, huh?

Butt-head: Yeah, I guess. So, like, they have to have a public hearing and stuff. That sounds pretty lame.

Beavis: Yeah, public hearing, huh huh. It’s probably just a bunch of old people talking about big words we don’t understand.

Butt-head: Yeah, like, revocation and stuff. Who cares about that crap? Let’s go get some nachos instead.

Beavis: Yeah, nachos sound way cooler than revoking permits. Let’s bounce, Butt-head!

En el condado de Humboldt, en junio del veinticuatro,
Se reúne la junta de supervisores, para hablar del decoro.
El tema del día es el informe anual,
De la Comisión de Cine de Humboldt-Del Norte, algo especial.

El comisionado Hesseltine, con voz enérgica y clara,
Presenta los logros de RREEL, esa joya rara.
Desde el dos mil nueve, fomentando la producción,
De películas y videos, en nuestra región.

El acuerdo de servicios entre el condado y RREEL,
Aprobado en el dos mil diecinueve, fue un gran papel.
El impacto económico en Humboldt es evidente,
Camarógrafos y actores, gastan en nuestra gente.

El contrato se paga con el TOT,
Recaudado de los turistas, con amor y fervor.
Para el año veintidós-tres, se recaudaron tres millones,
Y la colaboración continúa, entre las dos naciones.

No hay impacto financiero ni en personal,
Solo beneficios para todos, ¡qué genial!
Así que la recomendación es clara y contundente,
Que la junta de supervisores, reciba este informe excelente.

En Humboldt-Del Norte, el cine brilla con esplendor,
Gracias a RREEL, nuestro gran promotor.
Que viva el séptimo arte en nuestra tierra,
El condado de Humboldt, siempre en la vanguardia y en la guerra.

Samba do Condado de Humboldt

No encontro de 6/11/2024
Na reunião dos Supervisores
A Unidade de Fiscalização
Apresenta seu relatório, com vigor

Recomendamos ao Conselho
Receber nosso relatório anual
Mostrando nossas ações
Pelo bem da comunidade regional

Em prol de comunidades seguras
E saudáveis em nosso condado
Trabalhamos em parceria
Para manter nosso legado

Arrecadamos multas e penalidades
Para o Fundo Geral do Condado
E custos administrativos
Para a Unidade de Fiscalização, ao lado

Nossa atuação semelhante
A um belo samba a sambar
Com ritmo e harmonia
Juntos, vamos celebrar

Em 2023, muitos casos
Foram abertos e fechados
Mas com dedicação e empenho
Tudo foi solucionado

Que o Carnaval no Condado de Humboldt
Seja de alegria e união
Com a Fiscalização em destaque
Em nossa bela canção

Viva o Condado de Humboldt
E todos os que nele estão
Celebrando juntos, com alegria
Neste animado refrão

(Carnival music playing in the background)
