Upon the county’s noble County Board
The matter of ADA compliance stands
For Courthouse Restroom Modifications, broad
To serve the public with equal hands

A project started in the year of ‘16
To meet the standards set by Justice’s hand
Now, with completion of this worthy scene
The County’s duty is fully planned

Through NMR Architects, the design was made
And ACGC did their task well, indeed
Change orders issued, costs slightly swayed
But all in service of those with the need

Accept this project, Board, with pride and grace
For ADA compliance, a noble chase.

Once upon a time in the County of Humboldt, there was a peaceful and bustling community filled with hardworking employees who served the county with dedication and passion. The Board of Supervisors and the County Administrative Office worked diligently to ensure the smooth running of the county and the well-being of its residents.

One day, during a meeting on 8/12/2025, a new program was introduced to the Board of Supervisors - the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Voluntary Separation Incentive Program (VSIP). This program aimed to offer employees the opportunity to receive incentives for voluntarily separating from their positions, with the goal of achieving salary savings and budget management for the county.

The Board of Supervisors, after much discussion and consideration, decided to adopt the VSIP program and designated the list of departments and positions eligible for participation. The program required employees to have at least five years of consecutive service with the County of Humboldt or be within five years of CalPERS service retirement eligibility.

As the news of the VSIP program spread throughout the county, employees had mixed feelings about the opportunity. Some saw it as a chance for a new beginning, while others were unsure about leaving their current roles. However, the Board ensured that employees who chose to participate would not be required to repay the incentive if they later returned to county employment in a different position.

The VSIP program brought about a sense of change and transformation in the county. Departments worked together to manage their budgets and workforce, while ensuring minimal impact on services provided to the community. The program aimed to reduce staff reductions in a labor-sensitive manner, allowing employees to vacate positions before June 30, 2026, with departments holding vacancies through FY 2027-28.

As the nights grew longer and the stars shone brightly over the County of Humboldt, employees pondered their options and made decisions about their future. Some chose to take the leap and participate in the VSIP program, while others continued their dedicated service to the county. Each employee’s choice was respected, and the community came together to support one another during this time of change.

And so, as the bedtime story comes to an end, the County of Humboldt embraced the spirit of the VSIP program, fostering a sense of unity, resilience, and adaptability among its employees. The lights dimmed, and the community drifted off to sleep, dreaming of a brighter future ahead for all who called Humboldt County their home. Goodnight, and sweet dreams.

Detective Jake Hamilton had seen his fair share of corruption and shady dealings in his time on the force, but the latest case to land on his desk was unlike anything he had encountered before. It all began with a seemingly innocent item on the County of Humboldt’s agenda for their meeting on 8/12/2025 - the adoption of a resolution and ratification of a policy for the distribution of tickets and passes.

As Jake delved into the details of the case, he quickly realized that there was more to this seemingly mundane agenda item than met the eye. The California Fair Political Practices Commission had established regulations regarding the distribution of tickets and passes, aimed at preventing misuse of public resources for personal gain. But it seemed that someone in the county government was not playing by the rules.

As Jake interviewed county officials and employees, he uncovered a web of deceit and manipulation. It seemed that certain individuals were using their positions to obtain complimentary tickets and passes to events for personal gain, rather than for the intended purpose of promoting the county’s mission and resources.

With the help of his trusted partner, Detective Sarah Martinez, Jake followed the trail of corruption all the way to the top. It was a dangerous game they were playing, as powerful individuals were determined to keep their misdeeds hidden at any cost. But Jake and Sarah were not ones to back down from a challenge.

As the investigation deepened, Jake and Sarah found themselves in grave danger. The perpetrators would stop at nothing to protect their secrets, even if it meant resorting to violence. But Jake and Sarah were determined to see justice served, no matter the cost.

In a thrilling conclusion, Jake and Sarah uncovered the truth behind the distribution of tickets and passes in the County of Humboldt. The corrupt officials were brought to justice, and the county could finally move forward with integrity and transparency.

As he looked over the case file, Jake couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride. He and Sarah had once again proven that no amount of power or influence could stand in the way of true justice. And as he closed the file, Jake knew that there were more cases waiting to be solved, more wrongs waiting to be righted. And he was ready for whatever challenges came his way.

The interview room was bright and spacious, with a large oak table at the center, surrounded by five chairs. The panel of interviewers, consisting of three members from the Board of Supervisors and two representatives from DHHS Administration, sat on one side of the table. On the other side, sat the interviewee, a young woman named Sarah, dressed in a smart suit and clutching her resume nervously.

The chairperson of the panel, Supervisor Thompson, cleared his throat and began the interview. “Thank you for joining us today, Sarah. Can you tell us about your experience in program coordination and health education?”

Sarah straightened up in her chair and replied confidently, “Certainly. I have a background in public health education and have worked as a program coordinator for a non-profit organization focused on substance use prevention. In that role, I developed and implemented educational initiatives for both youth and adults, as well as collaborated with community partners to promote healthy behavior.”

Supervisor Thompson nodded in approval. “That sounds like valuable experience for the Program Coordinator position we have available. How do you envision your role in the Substance Use Prevention program within the Healthy Communities Division?”

Sarah smiled, feeling more at ease as she discussed her vision for the role. “I see myself as a strong advocate for evidence-based approaches to reducing substance use in our community. I plan to work closely with stakeholders, schools, and local organizations to create impactful education campaigns and promote policies that support healthy choices. I believe in the power of prevention and early intervention in tackling substance abuse issues.”

The panel members nodded in agreement, impressed by Sarah’s passion and knowledge. The interview continued with questions about her leadership style, ability to manage a team, and experience in grant writing. Sarah answered each question thoughtfully, drawing on her past achievements and skills.

As the interview drew to a close, Supervisor Thompson smiled. “Thank you, Sarah, for your insightful responses. It’s clear that you have the expertise and dedication needed for the Program Coordinator position. We will be in touch with you soon regarding our decision.”

Sarah thanked the panel for the opportunity and left the room feeling hopeful and confident in her abilities. She knew that if given the chance, she could make a positive impact in the Substance Use Prevention program and contribute to creating healthier communities in Humboldt County.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

I come before you today with gratitude in my heart for the continued blessings that the Lord has bestowed upon us. As we gather in His house, let us reflect on the importance of training and education in our lives.

In the County of Humboldt, there is a proposal before the Board of Supervisors to renew a Professional Services Agreement with the University of California, Davis, regarding the provision of training services to the Department of Health and Human Services staff. This agreement is vital in ensuring that our community members receive the best care and support possible from our dedicated DHHS personnel.

Training and education are not just important in the secular world, but also in our spiritual lives. In Proverbs 9:9, we are reminded that “Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.” Just as our DHHS staff must continuously learn and grow to better serve our community, so too must we as believers in Christ seek knowledge and wisdom to deepen our faith and understanding of God’s word.

We are called to be lifelong learners, constantly seeking to grow in our relationship with the Lord and in our service to others. Just as the DHHS staff rely on the training provided by UC Davis to better serve those in need, so too must we rely on the teachings of the Bible and the guidance of the Holy Spirit to fulfill our duty as followers of Christ.

Let us take this opportunity to reflect on the importance of education and training in our lives, both in the secular and spiritual realms. May we be inspired by the dedication of the DHHS staff to constantly improve themselves so that they may better serve others, and may we too be committed to lifelong learning and growth in our faith.

As we go forth from this place, let us remember that education is not just a means to an end, but a lifelong journey that we must embark upon with humility and gratitude. May the Lord bless us and keep us, and may His wisdom guide us in all that we do.

Amen.

The year is 2025 in the County of Humboldt, a place where the Department of Health and Human Services - Public Health is leading the charge in ensuring the safety and well-being of its residents, especially children. With the rise of advanced technology and innovative solutions, the county has implemented a Child Passenger Safety Program to reduce the risk of injuries and deaths to children in car accidents.

The program, established in 2003, aims to distribute car seats to families in need and provide education on proper car seat usage. To further enhance the program, the Department of Health and Human Services has proposed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate with local community-based agencies. This partnership will allow for the training and certification of Child Passenger Safety Technicians, ensuring that certified professionals are available to educate parents and caregivers on the correct use and installation of car seats.

As the Board of Supervisors convene to discuss and vote on the proposal, little do they know that a series of strange occurrences is about to unfold. Unbeknownst to them, an alien race has been monitoring their progress in child safety initiatives. These extraterrestrial beings, known as the Xyloids, have a keen interest in studying Earth’s advancements in technology and healthcare practices.

Intrigued by the county’s dedication to child safety, the Xyloids decide to make contact with the Department of Health and Human Services - Public Health. Using their advanced communication methods, they offer to share their own knowledge and technology in child passenger safety. The Xyloids reveal that they have developed a revolutionary car seat technology that far surpasses anything on Earth.

Excited by the prospect of this newfound partnership, the county agrees to collaborate with the Xyloids. Together, they work to implement the alien technology into the existing Child Passenger Safety Program. The new car seats are equipped with cutting-edge features such as integrated airbags, biometric sensors, and anti-gravity capabilities, ensuring the utmost safety for children in transit.

As the first batch of Xyloid-enhanced car seats is distributed to families in Humboldt County, the impact is immediate. Car accidents involving children drastically decrease, and the community is amazed by the effectiveness of the new technology. The Xyloids, pleased with the successful integration of their innovation, depart Earth with a promise of future cooperation in advancing healthcare and safety measures.

And so, the County of Humboldt enters a new era of child passenger safety, guided by a partnership that transcends planetary boundaries. With the help of their extraterrestrial allies, the county continues to strive towards a future where every child travels safely and securely, protected by the forefront of science fiction turned reality.

Noodles: Woah, that sounds fancy. Like, are they gonna be managing our cases or something?

Starfish: I have no idea man, but it seems like they want retroactive approval for it and all these other boring details. I’m too stoned to try and understand it.

Noodles: Yeah man, I feel you. Let’s just enjoy being stoned and not worry about all this grown-up stuff. Pass me the chips, will ya?

Title: Finding Purpose in Public Health

In the County of Humboldt, nestled among the towering redwoods and rugged coastline, a young woman named Mia found herself at a crossroads. As she sat in the Board of Supervisors meeting on a warm August day in 2025, listening to the discussions about the future of public health funding, Mia couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease.

Mia had always felt a calling to help others, but she wasn’t quite sure how to channel that passion into a career. She had spent years studying biology and public health in college, but the coursework had left her feeling lost and unsure of how to make a real impact in the world.

As the meeting continued, Mia felt a spark of inspiration. The discussions about strengthening the local public health workforce and filling staffing gaps left by the COVID-19 pandemic lit a fire inside her. She realized that this was her opportunity to make a difference, to use her skills and knowledge to help her community in a tangible way.

With a newfound sense of purpose, Mia decided to apply for a job at the Department of Health and Human Services - Public Health Branch. She was thrilled when she was offered a position as a public health worker, allowing her to work directly with the community to improve health outcomes and address pressing issues.

As Mia settled into her new role, she threw herself into the work with passion and dedication. She worked tirelessly to recruit and train new staff, to organize programs and initiatives that would benefit the community, and to build partnerships with local organizations to expand the reach of their efforts.

Through her work, Mia began to see the impact she was making. She watched as the public health workforce grew stronger, as health disparities decreased, and as the community came together to support one another in times of need. She realized that she had found her calling, that this was where she was meant to be.

Years passed, and Mia continued to thrive in her role. She grew as a leader, as a public health advocate, and as a member of her community. She became a voice for those who had been marginalized, a champion for those in need, and a force for positive change.

And as she sat in another Board of Supervisors meeting, this time as the Director of the Public Health Branch, Mia looked back on her journey with gratitude and pride. She had found her purpose in public health, and she knew that she was exactly where she was meant to be.

As the sun set over the redwoods outside the meeting room, Mia smiled to herself, knowing that she had found her place in the world, making a difference one day at a time.

Welcome back, patriots! This is Merv “The Beast” Tarkington coming at you live from the heart of Humboldt County, where the bureaucrats never sleep and the taxpayer dollars flow like a river. Today, we have a real doozy on the agenda for the Board of Supervisors - File #: 25-945, the Accela Subscription Services and Support Agreement with Carahsoft Technology Corporation in the amount of $345,112.80.

Now, let me break this down for you, folks. The County of Humboldt wants to shell out over $300,000 for a fancy-schmancy software subscription that they claim will make their permitting and code enforcement operations more efficient. I call hogwash on that! Why do we need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a software when good old-fashioned paperwork and phone calls used to do the trick just fine?

And get this - they want to sign a five-year contract that increases in cost by 5% each year! That’s right, folks, we’re not just talking about a one-time expense here, we’re talking about locking ourselves into a never-ending cycle of rising costs for a software we may not even need.

But it gets better, folks. The County is already planning on bumping up their budgeted expenses for this software in the next few years. They’re planning to spend even more taxpayer dollars on something that may very well be unnecessary. This is outrageous!

And don’t even get me started on the fact that there are no impacts on staffing with this item. So they want us to believe that this expensive software is going to magically make everything run smoother without any additional manpower needed? I smell a rat, folks.

So, my fellow freedom-loving Americans, it’s time to rise up and say no to this wasteful spending. Call your supervisors, attend the meeting, make your voices heard. We cannot let the County of Humboldt get away with squandering our hard-earned money on a dubious software subscription. Stay strong, stay vigilant, and never back down in the face of government overreach. This is Merv “The Beast” Tarkington signing off, until next time. God bless America!

In the County of Humboldt, a strange occurrence has taken place. The Purchased Insurance Budget Unit (3528-358) has incurred a higher premium than initially expected, leading to a need for a supplemental budget of $260,000 to cover the costs. However, as the Board of Supervisors convenes to address this issue, they soon realize that there is more to this situation than meets the eye.

It turns out that the increased premiums are not just a result of random chance, but rather a deliberate manipulation by a group of insurance brokers who have ties to a dark and powerful force. This force, seeking to sow chaos and despair in the county, has enchanted the insurance policies themselves, causing them to drain more funds than necessary and leaving the county vulnerable to future attacks.

As the Board of Supervisors delves deeper into the mystery, they discover that the only way to break the enchantment and restore balance is to embark on a quest to uncover the source of this dark magic. They must gather a group of brave adventurers to journey to the realm of PRISM, the Public Risk Innovation, Solutions, and Management organization, and seek out the truth behind the increased premiums.

Along the way, the party will encounter treacherous obstacles, cunning foes, and twisted illusions designed to test their resolve and challenge their beliefs. Only by working together, using their wits and their strength, can they hope to uncover the secrets of the Purchased Insurance Budget Unit and prevent the dark force from spreading its influence further.

Will the adventurers be able to unravel the mystery and save the County of Humboldt from destruction? Or will they fall prey to the sinister machinations of the insurance brokers and their malevolent master? The fate of the county lies in their hands as they prepare to embark on a Dungeons and Dragons campaign like no other.

Insane Conspiracy Theory: The ratification of the 2025-2026 Memorandum of Understanding between the County of Humboldt and the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO Local 1684 (AFSCME) is actually a cover-up for a secret government experiment. The one-time payments and incentive increases outlined in the MOU are actually hush money to keep county employees quiet about the true purpose of the deal. The expansion of eligible family members for bereavement and family sick leave is a way to ensure that any potential whistleblowers within the employees’ families are also kept in check. The creation of a labor management committee to study a 32-hour workweek is a front for testing the effects of reduced work hours on productivity and compliance. The Side Letters agreement mentioned in the MOU contain hidden codes and messages that will be used to communicate with extraterrestrial beings. The increased health insurance coverage is actually a guise for providing experimental treatments to selected individuals involved in the experiment. Overall, the MOU is a carefully orchestrated plan to manipulate and control the county employees and gather data for a sinister government agenda.

Title: “The Liability Insurance Debacle”

[Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer are sitting at Monk’s Cafe, discussing the latest news in Humboldt County]

Jerry: “So get this, the Humboldt County is facing a major budget issue with their Liability Insurance fund.”

Elaine: “What happened? Did someone sue the county or something?”

Jerry: “Well, it seems their legal charges have exceeded their estimates, and now they need an extra $200,000 to cover it.”

George: “Ah, the classic case of budget woes. I bet they never saw that one coming.”

Kramer: “I could’ve helped them with their budget! I’m great at managing finances.”

Jerry: “Yeah, right. You can barely manage your own finances, Kramer.”

Elaine: “So what are they going to do about it?”

Jerry: “Well, they need a 4/5 vote from the Board of Supervisors to approve the supplemental budget. It’s causing quite a stir in the county.”

[Cut to Jerry’s apartment. Jerry is on the phone with Newman, who works for the Humboldt County government]

Jerry: “Newman, you work for the county, right? What’s the deal with this Liability Insurance budget issue?”

Newman: “Oh, it’s a mess, Jerry. The legal charges just kept piling up, and now there’s not enough money to cover it. It’s chaos over here.”

Jerry: “Well, I hear they need a 4/5 vote to approve the supplemental budget. That’s not going to be easy.”

[Cut to the Board of Supervisors meeting. The gang is sitting in the back, watching as the supervisors discuss the budget issue]

Supervisor: “We need to approve this supplemental budget to cover our legal costs. We can’t just ignore our liabilities.”

Supervisor 2: “But where are we going to find an extra $200,000? We can’t just conjure money out of thin air.”

[The gang starts whispering amongst themselves]

Kramer: “I have an idea. What if we put on a fundraiser to raise the money for the county?”

Elaine: “That’s actually not a bad idea, Kramer. We could organize a charity event to help them out.”

Jerry: “I like it. It’s like a real-life episode of ‘Seinfeld’ – helping out the county with their budget issues.”

[Cut to a montage of the gang organizing the charity event, with hilarious mishaps along the way. The fundraiser is a success, and they raise enough money to cover the county’s legal costs]

Supervisor: “I can’t believe you managed to raise the funds we needed. Thank you, Jerry and friends.”

Jerry: “It’s all in a day’s work for us. Just call us the budget saviors.”

[The episode ends with the gang celebrating their success at Monk’s Cafe, congratulating each other on a job well done]

(Verse 1)
Sittin’ in this old boardroom, feelin’ so alone
Talkin’ ‘bout donations, trucks that we’ve outgrown
It’s hard to say goodbye to the ones that served us well
But we gotta let ‘em go, it’s a bittersweet farewell

(Chorus)
Donatin’ equipment to Heavy Equipment
Givin’ up our trucks, our memories cemented
In the fields and on the roads, they’ve done their time
But it breaks my heart to see ‘em go, it feels like a crime

(Verse 2)
Measure Z funded, but it still hurts to see
Our trusty Crane Truck and Dump Trailer flee
To a new home, a new purpose, they’ll be put to the test
But we’ll always remember the memories, the rest

(Chorus)
Donatin’ equipment to Heavy Equipment
Givin’ up our trucks, our memories cemented
In the fields and on the roads, they’ve done their time
But it breaks my heart to see ‘em go, it feels like a crime

(Bridge)
They may just be machines, but they’ve been our friends
Through thick and thin, through all the bends
We’ll miss their rumble, their familiar sound
But we’ll cherish the memories, keep ‘em safe and sound

(Chorus)
Donatin’ equipment to Heavy Equipment
Givin’ up our trucks, our memories cemented
In the fields and on the roads, they’ve done their time
But it breaks my heart to see ‘em go, it feels like a crime

(Outro)
So here’s to our trucks, our loyal steeds
May they find new purpose, fulfill new needs
We’ll never forget the days we spent

Title: Scooby-Doo and the Haunting of the Warehouse

[The Mystery Machine pulls up to the warehouse located at 3530 Broadway in Eureka, California. The gang, along with Scooby and Shaggy, step out of the van and approach the building, which is shrouded in darkness.]

Velma: According to the lease agreement, this warehouse is used for storing impounded vehicles for prosecution by the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office.

Fred: And it looks like they want to extend the lease for three more years. But something doesn’t feel right about this place.

Daphne: Yeah, it gives me the creeps.

Shaggy: Like, I agree! It’s a bit too spooky for my liking.

Scooby: Ruh-roh, Raggy!

[As the gang enters the warehouse, they hear strange noises coming from the depths of the building. Suddenly, the lights flicker and go out.]

Fred: Looks like we’ve got a mystery on our hands, gang!

Velma: Let’s split up and search for clues. Shaggy and Scooby, you check out the storage area. Daphne and I will look around the office.

[As Scooby and Shaggy explore the storage area, they come across a stack of old crates. Suddenly, one of the crates starts to shake and a ghostly figure emerges.]

Ghost: Boo!

Scooby: Rikes!

Shaggy: Zoinks! It’s a ghost!

[Meanwhile, Velma and Daphne discover a hidden passageway behind a bookshelf in the office. They follow it and find themselves in a secret room filled with surveillance equipment.]

Daphne: This must be where the ghost is controlling things from!

Velma: Let’s see if we can find a way to disable it.

[Back in the storage area, Scooby and Shaggy are being chased by the ghost through the maze of crates. They stumble upon an old trapdoor and fall through it, landing in the underground tunnels beneath the warehouse.]

Scooby: Relp!

Shaggy: Like, this is not groovy, man!

[Velma and Daphne manage to disable the surveillance equipment, causing the ghost to lose control and disappear. They regroup with Scooby and Shaggy in the tunnels and make their way back to the surface.]

Fred: Mystery solved, gang! It turns out the ghost was using the warehouse as a front for illegal surveillance activities.

Velma: And they were trying to scare off anyone who got too close.

Daphne: Well, they didn’t count on us meddling kids to crack the case!

[The gang hands over the evidence to the authorities, who arrest the culprits. The lease agreement with Six Rivers Investments is terminated, and the warehouse is returned to its rightful owners.]

Fred: Another case closed, thanks to the Mystery Inc. team!

Scooby: Scooby-Dooby-Doo!

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

Verse 1:
In the County of Humboldt, on this August day,
The Sheriff’s Office has some data to convey,
Regarding Measure K and ICE access, you see,
It’s all about transparency and public safety.

Chorus:
Semi-annual submission, it’s time to report,
To the Board of Supervisors for their support,
Measure K requires us to share this info,
To keep our communities safe and in the know.

Verse 2:
The Sheriff’s Office presents the data with pride,
Showing all communications, nothing to hide,
From ICE and the Department, back and forth they go,
Keeping everyone informed, it’s all part of the show.

Chorus:
Semi-annual submission, it’s time to report,
To the Board of Supervisors for their support,
Measure K requires us to share this info,
To keep our communities safe and in the know.

There’s no financial impact, no staffing strain,
Just fulfilling our duties, no need to complain,
So let’s all work together, for a safer place,
In the County of Humboldt, let’s embrace.

Chorus:
Semi-annual submission, it’s time to report,
To the Board of Supervisors for their support,
Measure K requires us to share this info,
To keep our communities safe and in the know.

(The scene opens in a small meeting room in the County of Humboldt, where the Board of Supervisors is gathered to discuss changes to the Humboldt County Fish & Game Advisory Commission. The board members are seated around a table, with the Clerk of the Board standing at a podium.)

Clerk of the Board: (addressing the board) Thank you for joining us today to discuss the potential changes to the Humboldt County Fish & Game Advisory Commission. As outlined in the agenda, we have received recommendations to consider altering the number of commission members and to discuss other desired changes.

Supervisor Johnson: (raising his hand) I have a question. Why are we considering changing the number of commission members?

Clerk of the Board: (nodding) Thank you for your question, Supervisor Johnson. The review of the commission revealed that there have been quorum challenges due to the current number of members. By reducing the number of members, we may be able to address this issue and improve the efficiency of the commission.

Supervisor Rodriguez: (leaning forward) What other changes are being proposed?

Clerk of the Board: (flipping through papers) We have also discussed the possibility of capping the number of hours the secretary can bill and assigning the position to a member of the commission. This could help save on expenditures and allow for larger grant opportunities in the future.

Supervisor Chen: (frowning) It seems like the commission has been struggling with budget issues. How will these changes impact their funding?

Clerk of the Board: (nodding) The changes proposed are intended to help stabilize the fund and ensure that it can support the commission’s activities moving forward. By making adjustments to the secretary position and exploring other cost-saving measures, we hope to strengthen the commission’s financial standing.

Supervisor Thompson: (thoughtfully) It’s clear that the commission plays an important role in our community. I believe we should consider these changes to help improve their effectiveness and ensure they can continue their valuable work.

Clerk of the Board: (smiling) Thank you, Supervisor Thompson. If there are no further questions or comments, I recommend that we move to approve the recommendations outlined in the agenda.

(The board members nod in agreement, signaling their support for the proposed changes to the Humboldt County Fish & Game Advisory Commission. The Clerk of the Board makes a note of their decision and prepares to move forward with drafting an ordinance to formalize the changes.)

(Curtain falls.)
