Hank Sims / @ 7:30 a.m. / Agendizer

The Board of Supervisors is Meeting This Morning Afternoon to Get a Bunch of Stuff Done After the Earthquake Canceled Tuesday’s Agenda. (Pssssst … It’s Virginia Bass’ Last Meeting)

Literally almost nothing non-consent-calendar-related on this agenda, which the Board of Supervisors will be tackling starting at 9 a.m. today. [CORRECTION: The meeting will start at 1 p.m.]

The main thing will be to get that consent calendar through — 30 items! — and then get on with the thanking of Assessor Mari Wilson, Clerk/Recorder/Registrar Kelly Sanders and outgoing board chair Virginia Bass for their services. (Their offices will soon be assumed by Assessor-Elect Howard LaHaie, Clerk/Recorder/Registrar-elect Juan Pablo Cervantes and Supervisor-elect Natalie Arroyo, respectively.)

So basically once we get through the routine business, it’s gonna be weepy party time for a solid three items. Does that mean today’s meeting will go quickly? Let’s see! No promises!

But in the event you want to stay apprised of that routine business, check out Gennie the AgendaBot’s summaries of those consent calendar items below. Her creative writing game is particularly on point this week, I’ll note.

D. CONSENT CALENDAR

1. Continuation of the Local Emergency Due to Drought

The Board of Supervisors of the County of Humboldt is considering extending a local emergency due to the drought until January 10, 2023. This will enable the County and other local government entities to plan and prepare to respond to the effects of the drought. Financial impacts of this decision are unknown at this time.

… or, as a Robert Burns poem!

Twas on a bricht December day,
In the County of Humboldt,
Where the Board of Supervisors
Met to discuss what they ought.

For the local emergency,
Due to the drought so dire,
They’d gather to declare
It must continue for much higher.

The Board had been empowered
By Ordinance No. 2447,
To proclaim the threat of drought,
And their duty to protect the land.

The General Fund had taken the hit,
Though the financial impact,
Was still unknown,
But all agreed it was a must.

For the safety of the people,
And the land so dear,
The Board declared the emergency
Would stay until the New Year.

2. Retirement Resolution for Lee Roy Lawson Jr. (Supervisor Virginia Bass and Supervisor Rex Bohn)

The Board of Supervisors is proposing to approve a resolution to thank Lee Roy Lawson Jr. for his years of dedication to the county and wish him a happy retirement. No financial impact is expected.

— LoCOBot

… or, as a science-fiction story!

It was a dark and stormy night on December 20th, 2022. The Board of Supervisors of the County of Humboldt had gathered to honor the retirement of Lee Roy Lawson Jr., a courthouse security officer. Little did they know that their resolution would change the course of history.

As the Board of Supervisors began to discuss the resolution, a loud crash echoed through the room. A strange figure appeared, wearing a long black cape and a hood that concealed their face. In their hand, they carried a glowing, metallic orb.

The figure spoke in a deep and mysterious voice, “I am here to offer you a choice. You can go on with your lives, living in ignorance and comfort. Or you can accept my offer. If you accept, I will give you the knowledge to harness the power of this orb, the power to travel between the stars. You will be able to explore the universe and see wonders that you have never seen before. But you must all make a unanimous decision.”

There was a stunned silence as the Board of Supervisors looked around the room. After a few moments of deliberation, they reached a unanimous decision. They accepted the offer and signed the resolution, thus allowing the figure to grant them their knowledge.

The figure disappeared as quickly as it had appeared, leaving the Board of Supervisors with the orb and the knowledge of how to use it. The Board of Supervisors used the orb to explore the depths of space, discovering new planets, civilizations, and technologies. Thanks to their decision, the County of Humboldt is now one of the most advanced civilizations in the universe.

A notice of the vacancy has been posted and a separate agenda item will be brought before the Board of Supervisors on Jan. 24, 2023, for the consideration of appointment to fill the vacancy.

— LoCOBot

… or, as a megachurch sermon!

Good morning everyone,

Today I want to talk to you about the importance of community service and how each one of us can make a positive impact in our community.

4. Submittal of Supervisors’ Monthly Expense Report on Meetings Pursuant to Government Code Section 53232.3(d)

The Board of Supervisors of the County of Humboldt is submitting their Monthly Expense Report on Meetings to be reimbursed for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of official duties. The total expense amount is $1021.28, which is within the recommended budget allocation. The report must be submitted according to Government Code Section 53232.3(d).

— LoCOBot

… or, as a horror story!

It was a chilly December evening in the County of Humboldt as the Board of Supervisors gathered for their monthly meeting. The agenda was filled with the usual items and the board members were going through the motions until the last item on the agenda was presented. It was the Supervisors’ Monthly Expense Report.

There was a long pause as the board members looked at each other with confusion and unease. One of the members finally spoke up, asking why the report was here. The Clerk of the Board replied that the report was required by Government Code Section 53232.3(d). This was met with more confused looks and a sense of dread began to creep into the room.

The board members slowly opened the report and began to read. As they did, their faces grew pale and their eyes widened. The report contained details of each of the board members’ expenses over the past month. But there was something strange about the report. All of the expenses were from the same place, a small roadside motel in the middle of nowhere.

The board members were horrified. They had no recollection of ever staying at the motel, yet there was proof that they had. They tried to recall how they could have possibly ended up at the motel, but no one could remember. As they discussed the report, a chill ran down their spines as they realized that the motel was miles away from any of their homes.

The board members had no idea how they had ended up at the motel or what had happened while they were there. All they knew was that something sinister was afoot, and that they didn’t want to find out what it was.

5. Board of Supervisors Teleconferencing Meetings and AB 361: Continuation of Emergency

The County of Humboldt is considering continuing the use of remote teleconferencing meetings due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. This resolution would authorize the Chair to sign the resolution re-authorizing remote teleconferencing meetings for the period of December 20, 2022 through January 10, 2023. This would allow for meetings to continue to be held remotely in order to protect the health and safety of attendees. Costs for teleconferencing equipment have already been expended, and additional costs and equipment may be needed.

— LoCOBot

… or, as a town crier's speech!

Hear ye! Hear ye! Citizens of the County of Humboldt, on this day, 12/20/2022, the Board of Supervisors will be meeting remotely due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Board has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency and has found that in-person meetings present a risk to the health and safety of meeting attendees. Therefore, the Board has authorized the Chair to sign the resolution re-authorizing remote teleconference meetings for the period of December 20, 2022 through January 10, 2023. Let it be known that the Board is committed to protecting the health and safety of our citizens and will continue to monitor the situation and make decisions accordingly.

6. Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Program Second Contract Amendments

The Board of Supervisors is considering a proposal to approve and authorize the Board Chair to sign contract amendments with Humboldt State University Sponsored Programs Foundation to provide workforce services in compliance with the terms and conditions set by the California State Employment Development Department. This would increase funding for certain programs and decrease funding for others. The Board is also considering an amendment that would provide funding for an additional workforce analysis associated with Offshore Wind. The Board of Supervisors will make a decision on this proposal.

… or, as a Pokemon duel!

POKEMON DUEL

The Board of Supervisors of Humboldt County are set to meet to discuss the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Program Second Contract Amendments. It is a battle between the County Administrative Office and Humboldt State University Sponsored Programs Foundation.

The County Administrative Office sends out their strongest pokemon: Charizard, a Fire/Flying-type pokemon.

Humboldt State University Sponsored Programs Foundation sends out their strongest pokemon: Blastoise, a Water-type pokemon.

The battle begins with Charizard launching a powerful Flamethrower attack, which is countered by a powerful Hydro Pump from Blastoise. Charizard retaliates with a Dragon Claw, but Blastoise counters with a Water Pulse. Charizard is not giving up and launches a Fire Blast, but Blastoise dodges it easily. Blastoise retaliates with a Skull Bash, which connects and leaves Charizard stunned.

Realizing it has no chance of winning, Charizard uses its Roar attack to retreat, leaving Blastoise as the victor. The Board of Supervisors approves the contract amendments with Humboldt State University Sponsored Programs Foundation.

8. Request to Purchase Tenable Nessus Software for Fiscal Year 2022-2023

The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors is considering purchasing a software called Tenable Nessus which would increase cyber security protections and reduce vulnerabilities for all departments. It also includes a web application scanning software, 2-day training for certain staff, and 500 additional asset licenses. The total cost of the purchase is $89,946.80 and the funding has been included in the 2022-2023 budget.

9. Restrictive Covenant Modification plan and fee pursuant to AB 1466

The County of Humboldt is proposing a new plan and fee to modify restrictive covenants (clauses that can discriminate against people based on race and other factors). The Board of Supervisors is considering approving the plan and charging a fee of $2 for every real estate instrument, paper, or notice required or permitted by law to be recorded. The fee would help fund a restrictive covenant modification program and would be in effect until December 31, 2027. A software program will be used to search documents and help redact unlawful language.

… or, as a job interview.!

Scene:
The Board of Supervisors sit in a conference room, reviewing the agenda item. The Clerk/Recorder is sitting in front of them, ready to answer any questions.

Chairperson: “Let’s move on to the next agenda item. We have the Restrictive Covenant Modification Plan and fee pursuant to AB 1466. Can you tell us more about this proposal, Clerk/Recorder?”

Clerk/Recorder: “Yes, of course. This plan requires the county recorder to establish a restrictive covenant modification program to assist in the redaction of unlawfully restrictive covenants. Subject to authorization from the Board, a fee of two dollars would be charged at the time of recording for every real estate instrument, paper or notice required or permitted by law to be recorded. This fee would cover the costs of developing and implementing the program. Additionally, the Board would be asked to approve a budget adjustment of one hundred thousand dollars in order to purchase the software needed to search and identify documents, as well as hire extra staff to assist with the project.”

Chairperson: “That sounds reasonable. What are the alternatives to your staff recommendation?”

Clerk/Recorder: “Your board could choose to reject the Restrictive Covenant Modification Program and fee, however this is not recommended. Approval will ensure compliance with the new state law and enable the Clerk/Recorder to collect the additional fee to offset the cost of the program.”

Chairperson: “Thank you for your presentation. Are there any other questions from the Board?”

The Board of Supervisors ask a few more questions to the Clerk/Recorder, before eventually approving the plan and fee.

… or, as a detective story!

The Shadowed Past

It was a cold and foggy winter night in the county of Humboldt. The moonlight glinted off the icy roads as Detective Jack Harris drove down the deserted street. He had been assigned a case that had been baffling the department for months. Two Youth Support Specialists had gone missing in the same week and were never heard from again.

Jack had been on the case for days, but had been unable to make any progress. He had interviewed family members and friends of the missing individuals, but none of them had any clues. He had searched the area where the two had gone missing, but he couldn’t find any trace of them.

Just as Jack was about to give up on the case, his phone began to ring. It was the Chief of Police, informing him that they had just received a call from a woman claiming to have information about the missing Youth Support Specialists. Jack thanked the Chief and hung up the phone, eager to follow up on this new lead.

Jack drove to the address given to him by the caller. When he arrived, he was surprised to find an old abandoned building. He cautiously entered the building, his gun drawn. Inside, he found a set of stairs leading to the basement. He slowly descended the stairs and found himself in a large, dimly lit room.

In the center of the room was a long wooden table, and sitting around the table were eight people in dark robes with hoods obscuring their faces. Jack quickly realized that he had stumbled upon a cult, and these people were likely involved in the disappearance of the two Youth Support Specialists.

Jack cautiously approached the cult members. He demanded to know the whereabouts of the missing individuals, but the hooded figures remained silent. Suddenly, one of the cult members stood up and pointed a gun at Jack. The cult leader stepped forward and revealed himself to be the missing Youth Support Specialist.

The specialist explained that he and his colleague had been kidnapped by the cult and forced to join their ranks. Jack was relieved to discover that the two were still alive, but he was determined to bring the cult to justice. He took out his gun and ordered the cult members to surrender.

With the help of the police, Jack was able to bring the cult to justice and the two Youth Support Specialists were released. Jack had solved the case, but he was left with a lingering feeling of une

… or, as a bildungsroman!

It was a crisp morning in the coastal town of Eureka, California. The sun was just beginning to rise, casting an orange glow over the city. The smell of the salty air mixed with the sounds of seagulls and waves crashing against the shore.

Danny was walking to his job at the local pharmacy. It was his first job since graduating high school and he was excited to start this new chapter in his life. He had always been passionate about medicine and wanted to make a difference in people’s lives.

At the pharmacy, Danny was tasked with managing the medication delivery, inspection, replacement and destruction services for the county of Humboldt. It was a challenging job, but he was up for the task. He was eager to make a difference and help the people of Humboldt get the medication they needed.

Danny quickly became the go-to person for the pharmacy. He was always willing to help out and provide answers to any questions. He was a hard worker and was always looking for ways to improve the services the pharmacy provided.

As the months passed, Danny noticed a pattern in the medication requests. He noticed that certain medications were being requested more frequently than others. He started looking into why this might be and soon discovered that some of the medications were being prescribed in error.

Danny brought his findings to the attention of the county of Humboldt and they were grateful for his efforts. They soon signed a professional services agreement with the pharmacy to ensure that Danny’s findings were taken into account and that the medication delivery, inspection, replacement and destruction services were up to par.

Danny was proud of the difference he had made and was eager to continue making a difference in the lives of the people of Humboldt. He had found his calling and was determined to make a positive impact on the lives of those around him.

Danny’s story is a classic bildungsroman of a young man finding his way in the world and making a difference. He was passionate about medicine and was determined to make a difference in the lives of those around him. He worked hard and his efforts were rewarded with the county of Humboldt signing a professional services agreement with the pharmacy. Danny had found his purpose in life and was determined to make a positive impact on the world around him.

Starfish: Yeah, that’s a lot of money. I wonder who is getting paid and for what.

Noodles: According to the document, it looks like Mariane Gilbert is getting paid for providing non-emergency medical care services to Sempervirens.

Starfish: Interesting. I wonder why they need to pay someone for that?

Noodles: I guess it’s because they need a physician on-call for non-emergency medical care. It looks like they need to pay for additional services since the contract cap was exceeded.

The Board of Supervisors sat in an uneasy silence as the agenda for the meeting was discussed. The room was eerily still, and the air was tense as the members of the board debated the merits of the proposed memorandum of understanding with the California Department of State Hospitals and the California Mental Health Services Authority.

Suddenly, a loud crash echoed through the room. Everyone in the room jumped in surprise and a few of the members of the board screamed. When the noise settled, a figure in a hooded black robe stepped out of the shadows and into the light.

The mysterious figure stepped forward and spoke in a low, eerie voice: “I strongly advise you all to reconsider your decision and vote against the memorandum of understanding. If you do not, the consequences will be dire.”

The board members were stunned and speechless. The figure continued: “I’m sure you all know of the terrible horrors that lurk in the shadows of the state hospitals. If you approve this agreement, these terrors will be unleashed upon your county, and no one will be able to stop them.”

The figure then turned and slowly walked out of the room, leaving the board members in a state of shock. They all silently agreed to vote against the memorandum of understanding, and the rest of the meeting was conducted in hushed whispers.

… or, as a nursery rhyme!

Twas 12/20/2022 at Humboldt County
The Board of Supervisors sought some bounty
The agenda was clear, a grant was near
For the workers’ compensation fraud they wanted to ferret

To the District Attorney the Board did grant
The funds they needed to supplant
To investigate and prosecute they must
The fraudulent act they could not trust

The grant was two hundred and seventy-six k
To be used for staff and tech and more
To get the job done right and tight
And combat the fraudsters with all their might

With a 4/5 vote the Board did approve
The supplemental budget for District Attorney to move
A resolution was passed to ensure success
And the fight against fraud will progress

So the Board of Supervisors did their part
Approving the grant was a clever art
For the benefit of the county of Humboldt
To ensure fraud was never a threat.

21. Adopt resolutions for Bargaining Units 1 - 11 to implement 2023 Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs) and Phase 1 equity increases effective December 25, 2022.

The County of Humboldt is proposing to implement Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs) and Phase 1 equity increases for Bargaining Units 1 - 11, effective December 25, 2022, to comply with 2023 minimum wage and the negotiated two (2) percent COLAs. This would result in salary increases for 299 Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs) and an estimated cost of $980,000.

— LoCOBot

… or, as a Socratic dialogue!

Socrates: Greetings, Board of Supervisors. I understand that you are considering a proposal to adopt resolutions for Bargaining Units 1 - 11 to implement 2023 Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs) and Phase 1 equity increases effective December 25, 2022. Can someone explain the proposal in more detail?

Supervisor: Sure. The proposal recommends implementing the two (2) percent Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs) scheduled for the first full pay period in January 2023, and the Phase 1 equity increases, early effective the pay period beginning December 25, 2022, by assigning the following classifications to the following salary ranges.

Socrates: That sounds like a lot of information. Can you provide some examples of the salary ranges being recommended?

Supervisor: Yes, for example, the Animal Shelter and Care Attendant I - 40 hour (Class #0440) would be assigned to a salary range of 325 to 333.

Socrates: What is the financial impact of this proposal?

Supervisor: The estimated increase to the remaining portion of Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 from December 25, 2022, through June 30, 2023 is estimated at no more than $509,000 - this calculation is based on allocated positions and does not factor in budget savings from existing vacancies. Moreover, of the up to $509,000 impact to the remaining FY, approximately $245,000 has already been budgeted as it represents the 2% negotiated COLA per the MOU.

22. Modification to New Employee Orientation Format

The County of Humboldt is proposing to change their new employee orientation format to make it a more welcoming and positive experience. This change would require all new employees to attend an in-person orientation on the first Monday of each pay period in order to get important information about the County and to complete their onboarding paperwork. Exceptions to the start date may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

… or, as Star Trek fan fiction!

It had been a difficult few weeks for the crew of the USS Enterprise. They had been sent on a mission to the distant planet of Humboldt, a world renowned for its unusual culture and ways of life. The crew had been tasked with investigating reports of a mysterious new employee orientation process that had been put in place by the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors.

Captain Picard had been skeptical of the mission at first, but after a few weeks in orbit he had been forced to admit that the strange reports were true. The county had mandated all new employees to attend an in-person orientation on the first Monday of every pay period. This was a far cry from the usual Zoom meetings that had been the norm in recent years.

The Enterprise crew had been invited to attend one of the new orientations, and they had been impressed with the level of detail that the Board of Supervisors had put into the event. From the onboarding paperwork to the benefits appointments with Risk Management, everything had been handled in a professional and efficient manner.

The crew was also impressed with the enthusiasm of the new employees. Everyone seemed to be excited to start their new jobs and to be part of the Humboldt County team. It was clear that the Board of Supervisors had done a great job in creating a positive and welcoming atmosphere for new hires.

As the Enterprise prepared to depart Humboldt, Captain Picard was already looking forward to the next mission. He was sure that the new orientation process would be a great success, and he was looking forward to hearing about the positive impact it would have on the county.

Welcome to Merv “The Beast” Tarkington’s right-wing radio talk show! Today we’re discussing the Board of Supervisors’ decision to approve the Dias Subdivision, Phase III, APN 402-301-011, East of Eureka.

The Board’s decision to allow the subdivision to move forward has been met with both criticism and praise. On one hand, some people are applauding the Board for allowing development in the area, creating more housing and jobs for the local community. On the other hand, some people are concerned about the environmental and safety implications of the development.

The County of Humboldt is asking the Board of Supervisors to ratify the resolution proclaiming the existence of a local emergency due to a 6.4 magnitude earthquake that occurred on December 20, 2022. This earthquake caused an imminent threat to public safety and significant damage to public and private property, which exceeded the available county resources. Ratifying the resolution will allow the county to seek state and federal funding to help with the response and recovery efforts.

— LoCOBot

… or, as a fantasy story!

The disaster that struck Humboldt County on December 20, 2022 was unlike anything its inhabitants had ever experienced before. A powerful 6.4 magnitude earthquake had rocked the land, causing destruction and chaos in its wake. Bridges had collapsed, homes had been damaged, roads had cracked, and trees had been uprooted. The magnitude of the destruction was far greater than the county’s resources could bear, so the Sheriff of Humboldt County had issued a proclamation declaring a local emergency.

The Board of Supervisors had gathered to consider the Sheriff’s recommendation to ratify the proclamation, and they unanimously agreed that the decision had to be made in order to access the necessary financial assistance from the state and federal government. With the resolution ratified, the county was now eligible for disaster relief funds from the California Public Utilities Commission, the California Disaster Assistance Act, and the Stafford Act.

In the weeks and months that followed, the community of Humboldt County came together to rebuild what had been lost. Emergency services and medical response teams worked tirelessly to provide for the needs of the population, while the county government worked alongside its partners from the state and federal government to secure the necessary resources to repair the damage.

In time, the people of Humboldt County were able to restore their homes and businesses and reclaim the community they had lost. Although the earthquake had caused great destruction, it had also brought the community closer together, and the people of Humboldt County were able to look forward to the future with renewed hope.

… or, as a romance story!

It was the end of an era. Kelly Sanders, the devoted Clerk-Recorder for Humboldt County, was retiring after 16 years of dedicated service. In a special presentation, the Board of Supervisors honored her with a resolution thanking her for her hard work.

The Board of Supervisors’ meeting was filled with emotion: sadness that Kelly was leaving and joy that she was embarking on a new chapter in her life.

As the Board presented her with the resolution, Kelly felt a sense of accomplishment and pride. She had achieved much in her years as Clerk-Recorder and she was ready to move on to the next stage of her life.

Little did Kelly know that her retirement would bring her a world of new possibilities.

At her retirement party, Kelly met her new neighbor, Barry. Barry was a charming and handsome man who had recently moved to the county. The two of them hit it off right away, and over the course of the night, they found out that they had a lot in common.

Barry asked Kelly out on a date, and she happily accepted. They went on a romantic hike in the redwoods and enjoyed a picnic lunch. Barry and Kelly spent hours talking and getting to know each other.

As their relationship blossomed, Kelly found out that Barry was a widower. His wife had passed away several years ago, and he had been longing for companionship ever since. Kelly felt a deep connection with Barry, and she knew that he was the one for her.

Barry and Kelly had a beautiful wedding a few months later. They moved into a house together, and Kelly found joy in helping Barry take care of his garden and in spending time with his children from his previous marriage.

Kelly’s retirement had brought her a world of new possibilities, and she was grateful for it. She had found true love, and it was all thanks to the Board of Supervisors and their resolution.
