Good morning, my brothers and sisters in Christ. Today, I come before you with a heart full of gratitude and appreciation for the dedicated service of one of our own community members. As many of you may already be aware, the County of Humboldt is recognizing Mark Lamers for his 16 years of service to the Department of Health & Human Services with a Retirement Resolution.

This resolution is a testament to Mark’s commitment and dedication to serving others. It is a celebration of his hard work, his compassion, and his selflessness in helping those in need. It is a reminder to all of us that service to others is a noble calling, one that should be honored and celebrated.

In the book of Matthew, Jesus tells us, “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” Mark’s service to the community is a reflection of this message, a living example of what it means to love thy neighbor as thyself.

As we gather here today, let us take a moment to reflect on the impact that one person can have on the lives of others. Let us remember that each act of kindness, each moment of service, no matter how small, can make a difference in the world around us.

I encourage each and every one of you to follow in Mark’s footsteps, to seek out opportunities to serve and to make a positive impact in your community. Whether it is through volunteering, donating, or simply lending a helping hand to those in need, we all have the power to make a difference.

Let us hold Mark Lamers in our hearts and prayers as he embarks on this new chapter in his life. May his retirement be filled with joy, peace, and fulfillment, knowing that his legacy of service will continue to inspire and motivate us all.

And let us remember the words of the Apostle Paul, who said, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” May we all find the strength and the courage to continue doing good, to continue serving others, and to continue making our world a better place for all.

May God bless Mark Lamers, may God bless the County of Humboldt, and may God bless each and every one of you. Amen.

Title: The Journey of Delia Garcia

Delia Garcia had always known she wanted to work in law enforcement. From a young age, she admired the men and women who dedicated their lives to serving and protecting their communities. Growing up in Humboldt County, she was surrounded by nature and small-town charm, but she knew that there were also darker sides to life that needed to be addressed.

After graduating from high school, Delia wasted no time in pursuing her dream career. She enrolled in the police academy and quickly proved herself to be a dedicated and hardworking individual. Her passion for justice and her commitment to making a difference in the world set her apart from her peers.

Delia’s career in law enforcement took her down many different paths, but it was her time as a Supervising Correctional Deputy that truly showcased her leadership abilities. For 22 years, she worked tirelessly to ensure the safety and well-being of both her fellow officers and the inmates under her care. Despite the challenges she faced on a daily basis, Delia never wavered in her dedication to her job.

As Delia prepared to retire, the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors decided to honor her with a retirement resolution. The resolution highlighted Delia’s exemplary service to the county and the Sheriff’s Office, recognizing her hard work and dedication over the years. Delia was deeply touched by the gesture, feeling proud of all she had accomplished during her time in law enforcement.

As she looked back on her career, Delia realized just how much she had grown and changed since her early days in the police academy. She had witnessed both the best and the worst of humanity, and had learned valuable lessons about compassion, empathy, and resilience along the way. Delia knew that her journey was far from over, but she was excited to begin this new chapter of her life in retirement.

With a grateful heart and a sense of accomplishment, Delia Garcia bid farewell to her colleagues and the community she had served for so many years. As she walked away from the Sheriff’s Office for the last time, she knew that her legacy would live on in the hearts of those she had touched during her career.

Interviewer: Good morning, thank you for coming in today. Can you please introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about your background?

Candidate: Good morning, thank you for having me. My name is Sarah Jenkins and I have a background in event planning and community outreach. I have organized several successful community events and am passionate about bringing people together to celebrate important causes.

Interviewer: That’s great to hear, Sarah. We have a proclamation on the agenda to proclaim September 2024 as National Recovery Month in Humboldt County. Are you familiar with this initiative and how do you think your skills and experience could contribute to its success?

Candidate: Yes, I am familiar with National Recovery Month and I think it is a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness about addiction recovery and support those on their journey to sobriety. With my experience in event planning and community outreach, I believe I can help organize a successful event to celebrate recovery and bring the community together in a meaningful way.

Interviewer: That’s fantastic, Sarah. Can you give us an example of a previous event you have organized that was particularly successful and how you managed to engage the community?

Candidate: Of course. One event that stands out to me is a charity fundraiser I organized for a local addiction recovery center. We hosted a 5k run and a family-friendly festival with live music, food vendors, and information booths about addiction recovery resources. We were able to engage the community by reaching out to local businesses for sponsorships and promoting the event through social media and local news outlets. It was a great success and raised a significant amount of money for the recovery center.

Interviewer: That sounds like a fantastic event, Sarah. It seems like you have a strong track record of organizing successful community events and engaging the public in important causes.

Title: Scooby-Doo and the Mystery of the Craniofacial Conundrum

[The Mystery Machine pulls up to the County of Humboldt building, where the gang has been invited to attend a special ceremony. Scooby snacks in hand, Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne, and Fred eagerly step out of the van and head inside.]

Velma: According to this invitation, the Board of Supervisors is proclaiming September as Craniofacial Acceptance Month in Humboldt County.

Daphne: That’s a great cause to raise awareness for!

Fred: Let’s go show our support and see how we can help.

[Inside, the gang listens as Supervisor Rex Bohn speaks about the importance of recognizing craniofacial differences and accepting others for who they are. As the proclamation is read, a strange figure in a mask appears and interrupts the ceremony.]

Masked Figure: You dare to promote acceptance and diversity? I will not let this happen!

Velma: Jinkies! Who could be behind this?

Shaggy: Like, maybe they’re trying to cover up something with this craniofacial awareness?

Scooby: Ruh-roh, Raggy!

Fred: Let’s split up and search the building for clues. Daphne and Velma, you check the basement. Shaggy, Scooby, you can search the main floor with me.

[As they search the building, they encounter various obstacles and hidden passages. Eventually, they find themselves in a room filled with masks and costumes.]

Daphne: Look at all these masks! It seems like someone is trying to hide their true identity.

Velma: And these costumes…they seem vaguely familiar.

[Just then, the masked figure appears again, revealing themselves to be the janitor of the building.]

Janitor: I’m sorry for causing a disturbance, but I was afraid of being judged for my own craniofacial difference. I wear this mask to hide who I really am.

Scooby: Rhat’s rokay! We understand, buddy.

Fred: It’s important to remember that everyone is unique in their own way, and we should always strive to accept and embrace those differences.

[The gang helps the janitor feel comfortable enough to remove his mask and join in the ceremony. As the proclamation is officially adopted, everyone in attendance celebrates the message of acceptance and inclusion.]

Daphne: Another mystery solved, thanks to teamwork and understanding.

Velma: And a little bit of courage too.

Scooby: And a lot of Scooby snacks!

[The gang shares a laugh as they head back to the Mystery Machine, ready for their next adventure.]

(Scene opens in a small, dimly lit room with a long wooden table and chairs surrounding it. The Board of Supervisors sit at the head of the table, with Supervisor Michelle Bushnell standing at a podium, addressing the board.)

Supervisor Bushnell: (clearing her throat) Thank you, esteemed members of the Board of Supervisors, for allowing me to bring forth this recommendation today. As you all are aware, the Alderpoint County Water District is currently facing a critical situation with the resignation of a board member due to illness. This has left the district without a quorum, and therefore, unable to conduct business.

(Board members nod in agreement, listening attentively.)

Supervisor Bushnell: In accordance with California Government Code 1780 (h)(1), I am recommending the appointment of Ila Drummond to the Alderpoint County Water District board. Ms. Drummond comes highly recommended and has a strong background in community service and water conservation.

(Board members nod in approval, some whispering to their colleagues in agreement.)

Supervisor Bushnell: It is crucial that we act swiftly in order to ensure the continued operation and functionality of the Alderpoint County Water District. By appointing Ms. Drummond, we can fill the vacant position and allow the district to move forward in their important work of providing safe and reliable water services to the community.

(Board members murmur in agreement, showing their support for the appointment.)

Supervisor Bushnell: Therefore, I respectfully ask for your approval in receiving and filing this report, and appointing Ila Drummond to the Alderpoint County Water District. I believe this action aligns with our strategic plan of supporting and sustaining partnerships to enhance public safety in our communities.

(Board members nod in agreement, signaling their approval of the recommendation.)

Supervisor Bushnell: Thank you for your consideration. I trust that we will make the right decision for the benefit of the Alderpoint community and the County of Humboldt as a whole.

(The Board of Supervisors take a moment to discuss amongst themselves before ultimately casting their votes in favor of appointing Ila Drummond to the Alderpoint County Water District. The scene fades as the Board begins to adjourn the meeting, continuing their work in serving the community.)

Once upon a time, in the beautiful County of Humboldt, there lived a man named Jim Sessa. Jim had dedicated over 43 years of his life to serving the residents of the county through his work at Coast Central Credit Union. He was known for his dedication, kindness, and hard work.

As the sun began to set on one particular day, the Board of Supervisors gathered for a meeting on August 27, 2024. On the agenda was a Retirement Resolution for Jim Sessa, proposed by Supervisor Natalie Arroyo. The recommendation was simple - authorize the Chair to sign the retirement resolution to honor Jim for his many years of service.

The Board unanimously agreed to the recommendation, recognizing Jim’s invaluable contributions to the community. They all shared stories of how Jim had positively impacted the lives of so many in Humboldt County. They praised his dedication to creating a diverse, equitable, and robust economy within the county, as outlined in their Strategic Plan.

As the resolution was signed, a sense of pride and gratitude filled the room. The Board wished Jim a long and happy retirement, knowing that his legacy would continue to live on in the hearts of those he had touched. There was no financial impact to the decision, just a simple gesture of appreciation for a man who had given so much to his community.

And so, as the meeting came to an end, the Board of Supervisors left feeling grateful for the opportunity to honor Jim Sessa. And as the stars twinkled in the night sky over Humboldt County, a sense of peace and gratitude filled the air, knowing that Jim’s legacy would forever be remembered in the county he had served so faithfully. And with that, they all drifted off to sleep, dreaming of a community where kindness and dedication were celebrated, just like Jim Sessa.

The end. Goodnight.

Detective Jack Ramsey sat in his office, staring at the paperwork that had landed on his desk. The mention of Warren Tindall’s name caught his attention immediately. Warren Tindall, a prominent figure in the County of Humboldt, had recently passed away under mysterious circumstances.

Jack had always had a hunch that there was more to Warren Tindall’s death than met the eye. He had been a well-respected member of the community, known for his philanthropy and dedication to the betterment of Humboldt County. But rumors had been swirling that Tindall had been involved in some shady dealings, and Jack couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to the story.

As he read through the meeting agenda, Jack’s mind raced with possibilities. Who would want to harm Warren Tindall? Was it a disgruntled business associate, a jealous rival, or someone with a personal vendetta against him? And could Tindall’s death be connected to the recent uptick in crime in Humboldt County?

Jack knew he had to dig deeper into this case. He had a gut feeling that there was something nefarious going on beneath the surface, and he was determined to uncover the truth. With a newfound sense of purpose, Jack gathered his team and set out to investigate Warren Tindall’s death.

As they delved into the case, Jack and his team uncovered a web of deceit, betrayal, and greed that stretched far beyond Humboldt County. They followed leads, interviewed witnesses, and sifted through evidence, slowly piecing together the puzzle of Warren Tindall’s death.

But as they got closer to the truth, Jack realized that they were not the only ones investigating. Someone was watching their every move, determined to stop them from uncovering the dark secrets surrounding Tindall’s death.

As Jack raced against time to solve the case, he knew that the truth would have far-reaching consequences for Humboldt County and everyone involved. But he was determined to see justice served, no matter the cost.

In the end, Jack and his team uncovered the shocking truth behind Warren Tindall’s death, exposing a dangerous conspiracy that threatened to tear Humboldt County apart. And as the dust settled, Jack knew that the memory of Warren Tindall would live on, not as a philanthropist and community leader, but as a cautionary tale of the dangers that lurked in the shadows.

Conspiracy Theory: The reappointment of Maureen Fitzgerald and Kaylen Escarda to the Humboldt County Housing Authority Commission is part of a secret plan to create a network of underground bunkers for the elite, while leaving the rest of the population to fend for themselves during a proposed apocalyptic event. The Housing Authority Commission is actually a front for a clandestine organization that is using taxpayer money to fund the construction of these bunkers, where only the appointed members and their wealthy associates will be allowed refuge. The Board of Supervisors is fully aware of this plan and is intentionally keeping it hidden from the public. The strategic plan for providing housing for all is just a cover for their true intentions of saving only themselves. The lack of financial impact mentioned in the agenda is just a way to divert attention from the true purpose of these reappointments. Stay vigilant, the end is near.

In the small, picturesque County of Humboldt, nestled amidst the majestic redwoods and the rugged coastline of Northern California, a quiet romance was brewing. It all started with a simple expense report presented to the Board of Supervisors on a sunny August day in 2024.

As the members of the Board reviewed the monthly expenses incurred by the supervisors for official duties, one particular report caught the eye of Supervisor Emily Thompson. It was from the newest member of the Board, the charming and mysterious Nathan Reynolds.

Emily couldn’t help but be intrigued by Nathan. There was something about him that set him apart from the other supervisors. His dedication to his work and his attention to detail were evident in every line of his expense report. But there was also a sense of mystery surrounding him, a hint of sadness in his eyes that she couldn’t ignore.

Determined to uncover the secrets that lay beneath Nathan’s stoic exterior, Emily took it upon herself to study his expense report meticulously. She poured over every detail, analyzing his every expenditure, trying to piece together the puzzle of his life.

As the days turned into weeks, Emily found herself drawn to Nathan in ways she couldn’t explain. She admired his work ethic, his passion for serving the community, and his unwavering commitment to his duties. But it was his hidden vulnerabilities that captured her heart and made her want to protect him from whatever demons haunted him.

A chance encounter at a local coffee shop one afternoon brought Emily and Nathan closer together. They shared stories of their pasts, their dreams for the future, and their deepest fears. In each other, they found a kindred spirit, a confidante, and a source of comfort in a world that was often tumultuous and unpredictable.

As the sun set over the rugged coastline of Humboldt County, Emily and Nathan found themselves standing on the edge of a cliff, their hearts laid bare to each other. In that moment, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the serenity of the ocean, they knew that they had found something special in each other, something worth fighting for.

And so, in the quiet, peaceful County of Humboldt, amidst the towering redwoods and the crashing waves, Emily and Nathan’s love story began. It was a tale of two souls brought together by fate, united by a shared purpose, and destined to journey through life hand in hand, forever bound by the love that blossomed in the most unexpected of places.

The Board of Supervisors celebrates their victory, proud of their Alakazam’s strength and strategic prowess in the battle. They continue on their journey, ready to face any challengers that come their way.

En el Condado de Humboldt, una reunión se llevó a cabo
Para discutir una excepción que el Sheriff necesitaba
El puesto de Secretario Ejecutivo vacante dejado atrás
Un rol crucial que ningún otro podía ocupar jamás

El Sheriff explicó con gran claridad y precisión
Que este puesto era esencial para la eficacia de su misión
Coordina tareas administrativas, asegura comunicación
Mantiene la confianza en la oficina con gran dedicación

El contacto principal con internos y externos es primordial
Para evitar conflictos y malentendidos por demás
Maneja quejas, investigaciones y mejora relaciones
Un rol importante para mantener la paz en las naciones

El financiamiento no sería un impacto negativo
Pues el puesto ya estaba presupuestado en el saldo
Una oportunidad de ahorro con nuevos candidatos
A un escalafón menor, un beneficio innegable y gratificante

La recomendación es clara, que la excepción sea aprobada
Para reclutar a quien mantendrá la oficina ordenada
La eficiencia, la efectividad y la confianza se mantendrá
Con un Secretario Ejecutivo que todo coordinará

In the County of Humboldt, where magic and mythical creatures roamed freely alongside humans, there was a delicate balance between order and chaos. The Sheriff’s Office worked tirelessly to maintain peace and uphold justice in the realm, but they faced a new challenge when a hiring freeze threatened to disrupt their operations.

Sheriff Thomas, a wise and respected leader, stood before the Board of Supervisors on the appointed meeting date of 8/27/2024. He presented his case for an exception to the hiring freeze for an Administrative Secretary position within the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office. The position was vital to the day-to-day operations of the Records Division, which was located at the busiest HCSO location open to the public.

As Sheriff Thomas outlined the importance of the Administrative Secretary role in maintaining compliance with various agencies and providing essential services to the public, the Board of Supervisors listened intently. They understood the implications of denying the hiring freeze exception - it would mean closing either the Garberville or McKinleyville Station to the public, resulting in inconvenience and potential delays for the residents of Southern Humboldt.

After much deliberation, the Board of Supervisors made their decision. They approved the exception to the hiring freeze for the 1.0 FTE Administrative Secretary position, ensuring that the Records Division at the Main Station would continue to operate smoothly. The Sheriff and his team breathed a sigh of relief, grateful for the support of the Board in maintaining the integrity of their operations.

Little did they know, the hiring of the new Administrative Secretary would set off a chain of events that would shake the very foundations of the County of Humboldt. The new secretary, a mysterious and enigmatic figure named Elara, brought with her a hidden power that would soon be revealed.

As Elara settled into her role within the Records Division, strange occurrences began to take place. Documents would mysteriously organize themselves, and reports would be completed in record time without any explanation. The staff of the Records Division whispered in hushed tones about the strange abilities of their new colleague, unaware of the true extent of her powers.

One fateful night, as the moon hung low in the sky and dark clouds gathered on the horizon, a sinister force descended upon the County of Humboldt. Creatures of darkness and chaos emerged from the shadows, threatening to plunge the realm into turmoil. The Sheriff’s Office was thrown into chaos, struggling to combat the malevolent forces that threatened the peace they had worked so hard to maintain.

It was then that Elara revealed her true nature - she was not just an Administrative Secretary, but a powerful sorceress with the ability to manipulate time and space. With a wave of her hand, she unleashed a wave of magic that pushed back the darkness and restored order to the County of Humboldt. The Sheriff and his team looked on in awe, realizing that they had been blessed with a guardian of extraordinary power.

From that day on, Elara worked alongside the Sheriff’s Office, using her magic to protect the realm from any threat that dared to challenge the peace of Humboldt. The hiring freeze exception had led to the discovery of a powerful ally, and the county flourished under the watchful eye of Sheriff Thomas and his magical Administrative Secretary.

Hear ye, hear ye! The County of Humboldt calls for the attention of all those gathered for the meeting of August 27, 2024.

File number 24-1245 is before the honorable Board of Supervisors, with a recommendation to consider an appointment to the Shelter Cover Resort Improvement District.

In support of the strategic plan for a diverse, equitable, and robust economy, it is proposed that Jeff Hildreth be appointed to the Shelter Cove Resort Improvement District’s Board of Directors. The vacancy was posted and only one application was received, meeting all requirements set forth by the California Public Resources Code.

Let all who are present take note of this important decision before the Board of Supervisors. Your support and attention are crucial for the continued success of the Shelter Cove Resort Improvement District. Thank you.

(Verse 1)
In the County of Humboldt, where the cannabis plants grow tall
We had big dreams for water conservation, energy for all
The grant money was flowing, projects in the works
But then came the state audit, changing all our perks

(Chorus)
Oh, the Department of Cannabis Control, they had their say
Stopped the funds from coming, turned our plans astray
But we’re resilient, we’ll find a way
To keep our community safe and healthy, come what may

(Verse 2)
Round one, round two, round three on hold
For those with provisional licenses, the future’s bold
But for the annual holders, their dreams denied
The DCC said no, our hands our tied

(Chorus)
Oh, the Department of Cannabis Control, they had their say
Stopped the funds from coming, turned our plans astray
But we’re resilient, we’ll find a way
To keep our community safe and healthy, come what may

(Bridge)
LACO couldn’t finish the study, the funds were redirected
To those who could benefit, their projects perfected
101 farms with provisional licenses in hand
Will they take the chance, make a stand?

(Chorus)
Oh, the Department of Cannabis Control, they had their say
Stopped the funds from coming, turned our plans astray
But we’re resilient, we’ll find a way
To keep our community safe and healthy, come what may

(Outro)
So as we move forward, with uncertainty in the air
We’ll continue to work, to show we care
For the County of Humboldt, our home so dear
We’ll weather the storm, with hope and cheer
