My beloved congregation,

Today, I come before you to speak on a matter of great importance to our community. The County of Humboldt is seeking approval from the Board of Supervisors to amend a software services agreement with Fifth Asset, LLC. This amendment will expand the scope of services provided for a total contract amount of One Hundred Twenty-One Thousand Dollars ($121,000.00) over the period of November 17, 2023 through November 16, 2027.

The purpose of this software agreement is to assist the Humboldt County Auditor-Controller’s Office in complying with the requirements of Government Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) Statement 87. The initial agreement with Fifth Asset, LLC was for lease accounting software, but this amendment will now include a debt and bond management module for an additional cost. This module will track bonds issued by other agencies that must be maintained in the County of Humboldt’s treasury, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of our county’s operations.

As a church, we must be mindful of our role in supporting our community and local government. By approving this amendment, we are contributing to operational excellence and supporting a well-trained workforce, as outlined in the Board of Supervisors’ Strategic Plan.

I urge you to support this amendment and authorize the Purchasing Agent to execute the necessary documents. Let us continue to work together for the betterment of our community and the promotion of good governance. May we be guided by wisdom and compassion as we make decisions that impact the lives of our fellow citizens.

Thank you for your attention, and may God bless you all.

Socrates: Greetings, my dear friend. I see that we are gathered here today to discuss the recommendation to adjourn in memory of Marty Messenger. Do you have any thoughts on this matter?

Phaedrus: Greetings, Socrates. Yes, I believe it is a fitting tribute to honor the memory of Marty Messenger, who was a Roads Maintenance Supervisor for the County of Humboldt. It is a gesture of respect and gratitude for his contributions to the community.

Socrates: Indeed, it is important to remember and honor those who have made a positive impact on our community. Do you think the Board of Supervisors should unanimously agree to adjourn in his memory?

Phaedrus: I would hope so, Socrates. It would show unity and solidarity in acknowledging the loss of a valuable member of our community. I believe it is a small but meaningful way to pay tribute to Marty Messenger’s legacy.

Socrates: It seems that there are no alternatives to the staff recommendation to adjourn in his memory. Do you think this decision is appropriate, given the circumstances?

Phaedrus: I do, Socrates. In this case, there is no need for further deliberation or debate. It is a simple and respectful gesture that I believe we should all support wholeheartedly.

Socrates: You make a compelling argument, Phaedrus. It is clear that honoring the memory of Marty Messenger is the right thing to do. Let us hope that the Board of Supervisors will come to a swift and unanimous decision on this matter.

Phaedrus: Agreed, Socrates. I have faith that they will recognize the significance of this gesture and unanimously agree to adjourn in memory of Marty Messenger.

Title: Legacy of the Fire Guardian

In the County of Humboldt, the small town of Garberville mourns the loss of a beloved member of the community - Todd Barton, a dedicated volunteer firefighter who served for over 40 years. Known for his bravery, kindness, and unwavering commitment to protecting the town, Todd was not just a hero, but a true guardian of the people.

As the Board of Supervisors gathers to adjourn in memory of Todd Barton, strange occurrences begin to plague Garberville. The once peaceful town is now shrouded in a mysterious darkness, and whispers of a sinister force lurking in the shadows spread among the townsfolk.

It is during this time of turmoil that the adventurers arrive in Garberville, drawn by fate or perhaps by Todd Barton’s spirit guiding them. As they explore the town and uncover clues about the dark presence threatening the community, they learn of an ancient artifact - the Fire Guardian’s Amulet.

Legend has it that the amulet was created by the first guardian of Garberville, imbued with powerful magic to protect the town from all evil. But the amulet was lost centuries ago, and now, with the rise of this malevolent force, it is more crucial than ever to find it and harness its power to save Garberville.

The adventurers must delve into the depths of the town’s history, facing challenges, puzzles, and battles along the way. They must earn the trust of the townspeople, unravel the secrets of the Fire Guardian’s legacy, and ultimately confront the dark entity that threatens to consume Garberville.

Through their bravery, cunning, and heroism, the adventurers will honor the memory of Todd Barton and ensure that his legacy lives on in the form of the Fire Guardian’s Amulet, protecting the town for generations to come.

Stardate: 1/7/2025

Captain Jean-Luc Picard sat in his ready room aboard the USS Enterprise, reviewing the latest report from the County of Humboldt. It seemed that there was a new member appointed to the Citizens’ Advisory Committee on Measure Z Expenditures representing the Fire Chief Association - Nick Pape.

As a Starfleet officer dedicated to upholding the Prime Directive and assisting in the betterment of civilizations, Picard was always interested in the workings of various governments and organizations. The Measure Z Expenditures were particularly intriguing to him, as they involved the allocation of resources for the betterment of the community.

“Number One, please inform Commander Data and Counselor Troi that I would like to meet with them in the conference room. We have some new information regarding the Citizens’ Advisory Committee on Measure Z Expenditures in the County of Humboldt,” Picard said, tapping his comm badge.

As Data and Troi entered the conference room, Picard relayed the information about Nick Pape’s appointment. Data, being an expert on Earth customs and protocols, quickly accessed the updated Committee Roster and displayed it on the viewscreen.

“It seems that Nick Pape will be representing the Fire Chief Association on this committee. I believe this could provide us with valuable insights into the allocation of resources and emergency response strategies in this region,” Picard remarked.

Counselor Troi nodded in agreement, sensing a strong sense of dedication and commitment from Nick Pape towards the well-being of the community. “I sense a great deal of passion and determination in Mr. Pape. He will undoubtedly bring a fresh perspective to the committee,” Troi added.

Picard nodded, feeling reassured by his crew’s support and insights. “Very well. Let us monitor the developments in the County of Humboldt closely and see how Mr. Pape’s appointment impacts the community. It is always heartening to see individuals step up and take on the responsibility of shaping their society for the better,” Picard concluded.

As the USS Enterprise continued its mission of exploration and diplomacy, Captain Picard couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride in the dedication of individuals like Nick Pape, who strived to make a difference in their communities - a sentiment that resonated with the core values of Starfleet and the Federation.

File number 25-77 is before you, concerning a matter of great importance - the recognition of Sean Robertson for his dedicated service on the Measure Z Citizens’ Advisory Committee. It is with utmost gratitude that the Board of Supervisors recommends authorizing the Chair to sign a Letter of Appreciation to honor Robertson’s hard work and commitment to the community.

This action aligns with the County’s Strategic Plan, specifically in the area of Core Services/Other. The funding for this initiative will be sourced from the General Fund, with no involvement from other agencies.

I beseech the Board of Supervisors to support this recommendation and show appreciation for Sean Robertson’s contributions to the Measure Z Citizens’ Advisory Committee. May his efforts be acknowledged and celebrated for the benefit of our community.

Oh County of Humboldt, on this day so dear,
In the year of twenty-five, the seventh day,
We come before you, voices loud and clear,
To honor a member who has gone astray.

Robert Bronkall, faithful and true,
On Measure Z Citizens’ Advisory Committee,
His service to us, a gift like sweetest dew,
A pillar of strength, a beacon shining brightly.

With heavy hearts, we bid him adieu,
But not without gratitude, our hearts are full,
For all he’s done, for all he knew,
His dedication, never to dull.

So let us send forth a letter of appreciation,
To Robert Bronkall, for his unwavering dedication.

(The scene opens in a small meeting room with the Board of Supervisors seated at a long wooden table. They are discussing the vacancy on the Citizens’ Advisory Committee on Measure Z Expenditures.)

Supervisor Adams: (Addressing the group) Thank you for joining us today. We are here to discuss the notice of vacancy for an at-large member on the Citizens’ Advisory Committee.

Clerk of the Board: (Standing to address the Board) As you all know, Robert Bronkall has resigned from the committee, leaving a vacancy that needs to be filled.

Supervisor Rodriguez: (Pensively) It’s unfortunate that we have a vacancy on such an important committee. The work they do is crucial to ensuring that Measure Z funds are being allocated properly.

Supervisor Campbell: (Nodding in agreement) Absolutely. The Citizens’ Advisory Committee plays a vital role in oversight and accountability when it comes to Measure Z expenditures. We need to ensure that we find a suitable replacement for Mr. Bronkall.

Supervisor Miller: (Looking through the application forms) I have reviewed the applications from potential candidates and there are some strong contenders. I believe we have a good pool of individuals to choose from.

Supervisor Adams: (Turning to the Clerk of the Board) When will we be able to make a decision on the appointment?

Clerk of the Board: (Checking a calendar) We will bring back a separate agenda item on February 11th for your consideration.

Supervisor Rodriguez: (Nodding) Sounds like a plan. In the meantime, I urge all interested parties to submit their applications promptly so we can move forward with filling this vacancy.

Supervisor Campbell: (Standing up) Thank you all for your attention to this matter. Let’s make sure we find the best candidate to join the Citizens’ Advisory Committee and continue their important work.

The scene opens in a small conference room with three members of the Board of Supervisors seated at a long table. Kayla Watkins sits nervously in a chair across from them, her resume in hand.

Board Member 1: Thank you for joining us today, Kayla. We appreciate you taking the time to meet with us.

Kayla Watkins: Thank you for having me. I’m excited for the opportunity to discuss my potential extension of hours with the Purchasing Division.

Board Member 2: Let’s jump right in. Can you tell us about your experience working with the Purchasing Division and why you believe you are the right candidate for this extended role?

Kayla Watkins: Of course. I have been assisting with Purchasing Fiscal Assistant duties for the past year while the position has been vacant. During this time, I have gained valuable experience in managing budgets, processing orders, and working with vendors. I believe my attention to detail and ability to prioritize tasks make me a strong fit for this extended role.

Board Member 3: That’s great to hear. Can you discuss a challenging situation you have faced in your current role and how you handled it?

Kayla Watkins: One of the challenges I faced was when a key vendor experienced delays in delivering a critical shipment. This had the potential to impact our operations and budget. I immediately reached out to the vendor to address the issue and worked with internal teams to find alternative solutions. By staying proactive and communicative, we were able to overcome the obstacle and ensure the smooth operation of Purchasing.

Board Member 1: Impressive. Now, let’s discuss the financial impact of extending your hours. Can you explain how doubling your hours will benefit the Purchasing Division and the County as a whole?

Kayla Watkins: Extending my hours will allow for the continuity of operations within Purchasing while permanent positions are filled. This will ensure that administrative tasks are completed efficiently and accurately, ultimately contributing to the overall success of the County. Additionally, the additional hours will provide me with more opportunities to take on new responsibilities and further hone my skills.

Board Member 2: Thank you for your insights, Kayla. We will take your input into consideration as we discuss this matter further. Is there anything else you would like to add before we conclude?

Kayla Watkins: I just want to express my gratitude for the opportunity to continue supporting the Purchasing Division. I am dedicated to the success of the County and look forward to further contributing to its mission. Thank you for your time.

Board Member 3: Thank you, Kayla. We will be in touch with our decision soon. You are free to go, and we appreciate your participation in this interview.

As Kayla Watkins gathers her belongings and exits the conference room, the Board of Supervisors begins discussing the recommendation for the extension of her extra help hours, considering her qualifications and the financial impact outlined in the agenda.

Title: The Frozen Hires

Detective John Parker sat in his office, sifting through paperwork from the County of Humboldt’s Board of Supervisors meeting. One file, in particular, caught his eye - File #: 25-13. It detailed a request for an exception to the hiring freeze to fill three crucial positions within the Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS).

As he read through the file, Parker couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t quite right. Why were these positions so urgent? And why was there such a push to fill them despite the hiring freeze? His curiosity piqued, Parker decided to investigate further.

He started by looking into the background of the positions in question - a Fiscal Assistant I/II, a Supervising Behavioral Health Nurse, and a Staff Services Specialist. Each position seemed essential to the smooth operation of DHHS, but Parker wondered if there was more to the story.

He delved deeper, interviewing current employees within DHHS and uncovering a web of office politics, hidden agendas, and potential corruption. It seemed that some within the department were pushing for these hires not out of necessity, but out of personal gain.

As Parker continued to unravel the mystery, he discovered discrepancies in the funding sources for the positions. Money meant for mental health services seemed to be disappearing, siphoned off by someone within the department.

With each new piece of evidence, Parker grew more determined to get to the bottom of the case. But as he dug deeper, he found himself entangled in a dangerous game of cat and mouse. Someone within DHHS was watching his every move, determined to stop him from uncovering the truth.

In a race against time, Parker worked tirelessly to gather enough evidence to bring the culprit to justice. With the help of a few key insiders, he was finally able to piece together the puzzle and expose the corruption within DHHS.

As the case came to a close, Parker reflected on the lessons learned. Sometimes, the greatest mysteries are hiding in plain sight. And sometimes, the most important battles are fought not in the streets, but within the walls of bureaucracy.

“The Frozen Hires” would go down in history as one of Parker’s most challenging cases, a reminder that even in the most unexpected of places, justice will always prevail.

In the world of Pokemon, a fierce duel is taking place between two powerful trainers: Kristen Smith and the incumbent HHS Program Services Coordinator. Kristen Smith, a Program Coordinator, has temporarily assumed the duties of the HHS Program Services Coordinator, while the incumbent is on leave.

As the battle begins, Kristen sends out her first Pokemon, a powerful Charizard. The incumbent, determined to defend their position, sends out their own Pokemon, a formidable Blastoise. The two Pokemon face off, ready to do battle.

Charizard starts off strong, using its powerful Flamethrower to attack Blastoise. Blastoise retaliates with a powerful Hydro Pump, causing Charizard to take a step back. The two Pokemon continue to exchange blows, each determined to come out on top.

Just as it seems like Blastoise has the upper hand, Kristen Smith calls out a surprise move. She activates her Pokemon’s Mega Evolution, turning Charizard into an even more powerful Mega Charizard X. With this newfound strength, Charizard launches a devastating Dragon Claw attack, knocking out Blastoise in one powerful blow.

As the dust settles, it is clear that Kristen Smith has emerged victorious in this Pokemon duel. With her temporary increase in pay approved by the Board of Supervisors, she is able to continue her role as acting supervisor with confidence and strength. And as for the incumbent HHS Program Services Coordinator, they will have to wait until their return to try and reclaim their position in the County of Humboldt.

(Verse 1)
In the County of Humboldt, on that fateful day

They had a resolution to rescind and renew
Funding for the homeless, a mission they pursue

Securing funding for those in need, it’s what we must do
Homekey Program, helping those in despair
Housing for all, we’ll show we care

To purchase hotels and motels, give a helping hand

A partnership strong, making a difference today
With no direct costs, we’ll move ahead

Securing funding for those in need, it’s what we must do
Homekey Program, helping those in despair
Housing for all, we’ll show we care

For the County of Humboldt, shining bright
With homes for all, we’ll pave the way

In the land of Humboldt, nestled among the ancient redwoods and misty mountains, there existed a road known as Elk Creek Road. It was a vital artery that wound its way through the thick forests, providing a connection between the towns and villages scattered throughout the county. However, a great disaster befell Elk Creek Road when severe winter storms, flooding, and mudslides ravaged the land in 2017.

The road suffered multiple locations of roadway settlement and shoulder failure, making it dangerous for travelers to navigate. Emergency repairs were made at the time to keep the road passable, but it was clear that more extensive work was needed to fully restore Elk Creek Road to its former glory.

In 2022, the Humboldt County Department of Public Works received funding approval to undertake the Storm Damage Repair to Elk Creek Road. The project was lengthy and complex, requiring the expertise of engineers, surveyors, and construction workers. The work involved constructing embankments reinforced with geosynthetic material, installing deep sub-surface drainage, replacing storm drains, reconstructing the roadway, and installing erosion control measures.

The project faced many challenges along the way, from unexpected obstacles in the terrain to the need for additional funding to cover the costs. But the hard work and determination of the Public Works team paid off, and after years of effort, the Storm Damage Repair to Elk Creek Road was finally completed.

The Board of Supervisors gathered for a meeting on 1/7/2025 to discuss the final stages of the project. They reviewed the completed contract with Van Meter Logging, Inc., the company responsible for the construction work. The total amount paid for the project had reached 100% of the contract, with some approved change orders increasing the final cost.

As the sun set behind the towering redwoods, the Board of Supervisors made their decision. They unanimously accepted the completed contract for the Storm Damage Repair to Elk Creek Road and approved the final claim for payment. The Clerk of the Board was directed to provide the Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works with a certified copy of the Board order related to the project.

With the repairs now complete, Elk Creek Road once again stood strong and proud, a testament to the resilience and perseverance of the people of Humboldt County. Travelers could now journey safely through the enchanted forests, knowing that the road beneath their feet was solid and secure. And so, the fantasy of Elk Creek Road lived on, a symbol of hope and renewal in the mystical land of Humboldt.

My Dearest Jane,

I hope this letter finds you well. As I sit here in the trenches, under heavy fire from the German artillery, my thoughts are consumed with memories of you. I miss your sweet smile and the sound of your laughter.

I wanted to share with you the recent developments here in the County of Humboldt. As part of the Public Works agenda, there is a proposal for a License Agreement with the Kneeland Elementary School District for the use of their storage site. The Roads Division has been utilizing this site for many years, and a new agreement is necessary as the previous one expires soon.

The proposed agreement would allow the County to use the property for the staging of construction materials and storage of equipment for maintaining and repairing county roads in the Kneeland Ridge area. The agreement would be in effect for five years, with automatic renewal options.

The financial impact of this agreement is minimal, with an annual rental payment of $1,000 to be paid from the Roads Maintenance budget. The agreement is crucial for ensuring a secure location for storing materials and equipment for road maintenance and repair.

I hope this letter finds you well, my love. Know that I think of you often and look forward to the day when I can hold you in my arms again.

With all my love,

Charles

[Jerry and Elaine are sitting in Jerry’s apartment, flipping through the TV channels]

Jerry: You know, Elaine, I was reading about this new subdivision in Humboldt County that’s having a public hearing about road maintenance.

Elaine: Oh, yeah? What’s so interesting about road maintenance?

Jerry: Well, it’s not just any road maintenance. They’re forming a Permanent Road Division and imposing parcel charges on the residents.

Elaine: Parcel charges? That sounds like a real snooze fest.

Jerry: I know, but imagine living in a subdivision where your sidewalks and roads are maintained by the county. It’s like living in a tiny perfect town.

Elaine: Yeah, until they start raising your parcel charges every year.

Jerry: Exactly! And then you’re stuck paying for maintenance you didn’t even agree to in the first place.

[George bursts in, out of breath]

George: Guys, guys, you won’t believe the meeting I just had with the public works department!

Jerry: Public works department? What were you doing there?

George: I accidentally signed a petition to form a new Permanent Road Division in Humboldt County. They’re imposing parcel charges and I have to go back for a public hearing.

Elaine: George, why would you sign something without reading it first?

George: It was in tiny font! And they were talking about inflation factors and Consumer Price Indexes. I didn’t know what I was getting into!

Jerry: Well, that’s George for you. Always getting himself into strange situations.

[The next day, George, Jerry, and Elaine are at the public hearing in Humboldt County]

Jerry: I can’t believe they have to go through all this bureaucracy just to maintain some roads and sidewalks.

Elaine: I bet there’s a lot of drama behind the scenes. Just imagine the politics involved in forming a new division.

George: You have no idea. I had to endure hours of discussion about the engineering reports and valuations.

[Suddenly, Kramer bursts in, wearing a hard hat and carrying a clipboard]

Kramer: Guys, I’ve got a great idea! We should start our own Permanent Road Division!

Jerry: What?

Kramer: Yeah, we’ll charge people for maintaining their roads and sidewalks. It’s a gold mine!

Elaine: Kramer, that’s insane. We don’t know the first thing about road maintenance.

Kramer: Nonsense! I’ve been studying the resolution and procedures. We can do this!

[The episode ends with Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer embarking on a misguided attempt to start their own road maintenance division in Humboldt County, much to the confusion of the residents and local authorities.]

Once upon a time in the County of Humboldt, there was a peaceful and serene place called Washington Terrace Subdivision in McKinleyville. The residents of this subdivision lived harmoniously, surrounded by lush greenery and beautiful landscapes.

One day, Mr. James Furtado, a kind and thoughtful resident, submitted a petition to the Board of Supervisors for the formation of a Permanent Road Division (PRD) 1000, Zone No. 010.

Title: Scooby Doo and the Case of the Missing Board Members

(Scene: The Mystery Machine pulls up to the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors building)

Fred: (excitedly) Alright gang, looks like we’ve got a new mystery to solve right here in Humboldt County!

Daphne: (looking at the agenda) It looks like there have been some strange disappearances of board members from various committees and commissions.

Velma: (reading through the documents) And it seems like there are some inconsistencies in the appointment protocol. This is definitely a case for us to crack.

Shaggy: Like, I hope there’s some snacks involved in this investigation.

Scooby: Ruh-roh, snacks!

Fred: Let’s split up and start interviewing the board members to see if we can uncover any clues.

(Scene: The gang splits up and starts talking to different board members)

Daphne: (interviewing a board member) Have you noticed anything strange or suspicious happening during the appointments process?

Board Member: Well, now that you mention it, there have been some odd discrepancies in the notifications of vacancies. It’s like some board members are just disappearing without a trace.

Velma: (interviewing another board member) Have you seen anything unusual while serving on your committee?

Board Member: Actually, yes. There have been some rumors circulating about a mysterious figure lurking around the building late at night. No one knows who it is or what they want.

Shaggy: (interviewing yet another board member) Like, have you noticed any strange patterns in the appointments list?

Board Member: It’s hard to say for sure, but it does seem like certain appointments are being made without following the proper protocol. It’s all very fishy.

Scooby: (sniffing around) Ruh-roh, I smell a mystery brewing!

Fred: Let’s all meet back at the Mystery Machine and compare notes. I think we’re getting closer to solving this case.

(Scene: The gang regroups and discusses their findings)

Velma: It seems like there’s definitely something going on with the appointments process. We need to figure out who’s behind these mysterious disappearances.

Daphne: And we need to find out why they’re targeting specific board members. There has to be a motive behind all of this.

Fred: Let’s stake out the building tonight and see if we can catch whoever is behind this in the act.

Shaggy: Like, I hope they’re not too scary.

Scooby: Ruh-roh, I’m not afraid of ghosts!

(Scene: That night, the gang sets up a stakeout outside the board building)

Fred: (whispering) Everyone keep your eyes peeled. We need to catch whoever is behind this.

Daphne: (pointing) Look, there’s someone sneaking around the back of the building!

Velma: Let’s go catch them in the act!

(Scene: The gang chases after the mysterious figure and catches them)

Fred: (pulling off the mask) Let’s see who’s behind all of this.

Mysterious Figure: (revealed to be the Clerk of the Board) I would’ve gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids!

Velma: (unmasking the Clerk) It was the Clerk of the Board all along! But why?

Clerk of the Board: (confessing) I was trying to manipulate the appointments to gain more power and control over the committees and commissions. I thought if I could get rid of certain board members, I could make appointments that suited my own agenda.

Fred: (handing the Clerk over to the authorities) Looks like we’ve solved another mystery, gang. Good work!

Daphne: (smiling) Another case closed thanks to the Mystery Inc. team!

Velma: (putting her glasses back on) And another victory for transparency and fair play in the County of Humboldt.

Shaggy: Like, let’s celebrate with some snacks!

Scooby: Ruh-roh, snacks!

(Scene: The gang laughs and enjoys a well-deserved snack break as the sun rises over Humboldt County)

En el condado de Humboldt, en una reunión planeada,
el tema de un plan de lodge park se ha planteado.
Con la petición de Garth, un cambio se busca lograr,
en el área de Trinidad, un permiso para otorgar.

El plan general y la reclasificación, se pide modificar,
para permitir un albergue alternativo y así prosperar.
La propiedad en cuestión, con problemas de violación,
necesita una solución para su transformación.

Los residentes de bajos recursos, en trailers y casas sin permiso,
buscan legalización para vivir en un mejor sitio.
La salud pública es clave, con problemas de saneamiento,
se requiere acción urgente para evitar un mal entendimiento.

El Board of Supervisors debe tomar una decisión,
sobre aceptar la petición y darle una buena solución.
El cambio de uso de suelo y zona es necesario,
para dar paso a un futuro más justo y necesario.

El camino para obtener el permiso no es sencillo,
pero con esfuerzo y compromiso se hará posible.
El impacto financiero será responsabilidad del solicitante,
quien deberá cubrir los costos para avanzar adelante.

En el condado de Humboldt, se busca una vivienda para todos,
un lugar seguro y adecuado donde vivir sin muchos rodeos.
Que el lodge park sea aprobado con sabiduría y cuidado,
para que todos los residentes se sientan respaldados.

Que la resolución adoptada traiga prosperidad y paz,
aquellos que buscan un hogar tendrán un lugar donde estar.
En el condado de Humboldt, la justicia y la equidad,
guiarán cada decisión para brindar oportunidad.

Que el Board of Supervisors actúe con sabiduría y prudencia,
para que en el condado de Humboldt, haya justicia y coherencia.
Que el plan de Garth se lleve a cabo con transparencia,
y que el lodge park sea una realidad con diligencia y consistencia.

(Verse 1)
In the County of Humboldt, the news came around
A National Day of Mourning, a somber sound
For Jimmy Carter, a man of integrity and grace
His passing leaving a void, in this wild west place

(Chorus)
We’ll close our doors and hang our heads low
Remembering a leader, a friend, a hero
The flags will fly at half-mast, the tears will flow
In the County of Humboldt, on that Day of Woe

(Verse 2)
President Carter, a beacon of light
Guiding us through darkness, shining so bright
His legacy of peace and human rights
Forever etched in our hearts, in our darkest nights

(Chorus)
We’ll close our doors and hang our heads low
Remembering a leader, a friend, a hero
The flags will fly at half-mast, the tears will flow
In the County of Humboldt, on that Day of Woe

(Bridge)
On that Thursday morning, the offices will be still
As we pay our respects, atop that hill
For James “Jimmy” Earl Carter, a name we’ll never forget
In the County of Humboldt, our hearts heavy with regret

(Chorus)
We’ll close our doors and hang our heads low
Remembering a leader, a friend, a hero
The flags will fly at half-mast, the tears will flow
In the County of Humboldt, on that Day of Woe

(Outro)
So let the church bells ring, let the memories stay
In the County of Humboldt, on that mournful day
For President Carter, now laid to rest
In the hearts of the people, forever blessed.
