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

Jerry: You know, I heard they’re building a new hospital and clinic in Southern Humboldt.

Elaine: Really? That’s great news for the community.

George: So, what’s the big deal about a new hospital?

Jerry: Well, apparently the old hospital can’t meet the seismic requirements and needs to be replaced.

Kramer: Seismic what now?

Jerry: Seismic requirements. It means the building has to be able to withstand earthquakes.

Kramer: Ah, I see. Well, that’s important. You never know when the big one is going to hit.

Elaine: I wonder if they need any support for the project.

Jerry: Actually, they’re looking for a letter of support from the Board of Supervisors.

George: A letter of support? What good is that going to do?

Jerry: It’s to show that the community is behind the project and values the new healthcare facilities.

Elaine: We should do something to help out. Maybe we can get involved somehow.

Jerry: Sure, we can all sign a letter of support. It’s the least we can do.

[Later, at City Hall]

Jerry: So, where do we sign this letter of support?

Supervisor Bushnell: Right here. Thank you for your support.

Kramer: Can we add a little note to the letter too?

Supervisor Bushnell: Of course, feel free to write a personal message.

George: I’ve got just the thing. [starts writing]

Elaine: What are you writing, George?

George: Just a little something to show our heartfelt support for the project.

[George finishes writing and hands the letter back to Supervisor Bushnell]

Supervisor Bushnell: Thank you all for your support. This means a lot to the community.

Jerry: No problem. We’re happy to help out.

[As they leave City Hall]

Jerry: Well, that was a good deed for the day.

Elaine: It feels good to know we’re making a difference.

Kramer: And who knows, maybe one day we’ll need that hospital ourselves.

[They all laugh as they head back to Monk’s Cafe]

“I went to a Board of Supervisors meeting in Humboldt County, and let me tell you, those guys never give me any respect. They approved the Action Summary from the meeting, but they wouldn’t even give me a courtesy chuckle at my jokes. Tough crowd, I tell ya!”

Welcome back, patriots! You’re listening to The Beast on the right-wing radio, where we bring you the truth that the liberal mainstream media won’t tell you. Today, we’ve got a bone to pick with the County of Humboldt and their Board of Supervisors.

Listen up, folks, because this is some real shady business going on here. The Board of Supervisors is trying to sneak something past us with this so-called “Action Summary” from their meeting on October 21, 2025. They want us to believe that everything is just peachy and there’s no financial impact to the General Fund. But I smell a rat, folks.

They’re playing fast and loose with our tax dollars, and we can’t let them get away with it. We need to hold them accountable and demand transparency in our local government. We can’t let them hide behind their strategic plan mumbo jumbo. We need to see the facts, we need to see the numbers, and we need to see them now.

So what can we do, you ask? Well, first things first, we need to show up to the next Board of Supervisors meeting and demand answers. We need to let them know that we’re not going to stand for this kind of shady business. We need to let them know that we’re watching, and we won’t be fooled.

So get out there, patriots, and let your voices be heard. It’s time to take back our county from these corrupt politicians. Tune in next time for more hard-hitting truth from The Beast. Stay strong, stay vigilant, and stay informed. God bless America.

My dear congregation, I come to you today with a message of approval and authorization. Just as the Board of Supervisors in the County of Humboldt recently approved the Action Summary for their meeting on October 28, 2025, we too must learn to approve and authorize the actions that align with our values and beliefs.

Just as the Board of Supervisors authorized the Clerk of the Board and the Board Chair to sign the Minute Book in accordance with the California Governmental Code, we too must authorize and empower those in leadership positions to carry out their duties and responsibilities effectively.

This action taken by the Board supports their Strategic Plan in the area of Core Services/Other. It reminds us of the importance of focusing on our core values and priorities in order to achieve our goals and fulfill our mission as a church.

I urge you, my beloved congregation, to reflect on the financial impact of our actions and decisions. Just as the approval of the Action Summary had no impact on the General Fund, we must strive to make wise financial decisions that will benefit our church community and allow us to continue to grow and thrive.

Let us also remember the importance of unity and collaboration. Just as there was no other agency involvement in this particular action, we must work together as a church community to achieve our goals and support one another in our journey of faith.

As we move forward, let us consider the alternatives to our actions and decisions. Let us seek guidance and wisdom from God as we navigate the challenges and opportunities that come our way.

May we always be mindful of our purpose and mission as a church, and may we continue to work together in harmony and love to spread the message of God’s grace and love to all. Amen.

Title: Star Trek: DNA Collection

Captain Kirk sat at the helm of the USS Enterprise, monitoring the latest mission update. They had just arrived at the County of Humboldt, a planet known for its advanced DNA collection technology. Starfleet had received a distress call from the planet, requesting assistance with a sensitive matter.

After consulting with his crew, Captain Kirk decided to beam down to the surface to meet with the local authorities. As they materialized near the County building, they were greeted by a group of officials from DHHS - Social Services.

“Welcome, Captain Kirk,” said the head of Social Services. “We are grateful for your prompt response to our distress call. We are facing a challenging situation that requires your expertise.”

The officials explained that they had a professional services agreement with Accurate Drug Testing Services for DNA collection, screening, and confirmation services, but there had been unexpected delays in the contract development process. As a result, they were in urgent need of assistance to ensure the continuation of these vital services.

Captain Kirk and his crew immediately sprang into action, offering their technology and expertise to help expedite the process. With the help of the Enterprise’s advanced sensors and equipment, they were able to quickly assess the situation and provide valuable assistance to the County of Humboldt.

As the days went by, Captain Kirk and his crew worked tirelessly to ensure that the DNA collection services continued without interruption. They collaborated closely with the local authorities and Accurate Drug Testing Services to overcome any obstacles that arose.

In the end, thanks to the cooperation between Starfleet and the County of Humboldt, the DNA collection services were successfully maintained, ensuring the safety and well-being of the residents who relied on them. The professional services agreement with Accurate Drug Testing Services was finalized, and the Enterprise crew bid farewell to their new allies with gratitude and respect.

As they departed from the planet, Captain Kirk couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride in the role they had played in helping a community in need. The mission may have been unexpected, but it had once again proven the power of cooperation and teamwork in the vast expanse of space.

Title: The Road Ahead

In the small County of Humboldt, nestled in the hills of California, a young man named Jake Johnson had spent his entire life dreaming of working for the Public Works Department. Growing up in a family of construction workers, Jake had always been fascinated by the machinery and structures that filled his town. From a young age, he knew that he wanted to be a part of building and maintaining the roads and bridges that connected the community.

As Jake grew older, he watched as his friends and classmates pursued different paths, some going off to college and others finding work in various industries. But Jake remained steadfast in his desire to work for the Public Works Department. He worked hard in school, excelling in his math and science classes, and spent his free time studying blueprints and construction techniques.

Finally, the day came when Jake was old enough to apply for a job with the Public Works Department. He eagerly submitted his application and waited anxiously for a response. When the letter arrived, informing him that he had been accepted as a Boat Operator I, Jake couldn’t contain his excitement. It was the first step in his journey towards his dream career.

As Jake settled into his new role, learning the ins and outs of operating boats and maintaining waterways, he quickly proved himself to be a dedicated and skilled worker. His supervisors took notice of his enthusiasm and work ethic, and before long, he was promoted to Boat Operator II. With each new challenge that came his way, Jake rose to the occasion, eager to prove himself and contribute to the community he loved.

But Jake’s journey was far from over. As the County of Humboldt underwent a classification and compensation study of the Public Works Department, Jake found himself at the center of it all. The recommendations put forth by the Human Resources Department would not only impact his own position but also the entire department. It was a pivotal moment for Jake and his colleagues, as they awaited the decision of the Board of Supervisors.

When the day of the meeting arrived, Jake sat nervously in the audience, listening as the recommendations were read aloud. His heart pounded in his chest as each item was discussed, knowing that the outcome would shape his future and the future of the department. And then, finally, the Board of Supervisors made their decision.

Jake Johnson was placed into the Capital Projects Architect II classification at Step E, a promotion that he had never even dreamed possible. It was a moment of triumph for Jake, a validation of his hard work and dedication to his craft. As he stood to accept his new title, surrounded by his colleagues and supervisors, Jake knew that the road ahead was bright and full of endless possibilities.

And so, with a renewed sense of purpose and drive, Jake Johnson embarked on the next chapter of his bildungsroman, ready to face whatever challenges and adventures lay ahead in his career with the County of Humboldt’s Public Works Department. The young man who had once dreamed of a job operating boats now had his sights set on even greater heights, eager to continue growing and learning as he made his mark on the world around him.

Funkadelic Library Services

(Verse 1)
Hey now, Board of Supervisors, listen to the groove
We gotta talk about that library move
Trinity County needs a librarian, that’s plain to see
Since December, they’ve been missing the key

(Chorus)
Sign that Memorandum of Understanding
Keep the libraries expanding
Humboldt County’s librarian on the scene
Working hard to keep those pages clean

California Education Code, section 19140
Says a qualified librarian is needed, everyone
Trinity County wants to contract with us
To keep their library services a must

Keep the libraries expanding
Humboldt County’s librarian on the scene
Working hard to keep those pages clean

Keep the libraries running strong
With this agreement, we can’t go wrong!

Moe Hogan: Welcome back, folks, to another edition of The Moe Hogan Experience. Today, we have a very special guest with us, the author of an interesting document from the County of Humboldt. So, tell us, what exactly are these new ordinances about? And why do they need to be certified by the California Coastal Commission?

Author: Well, thank you for having me, Moe. These ordinances cover a range of topics from tiny house villages to emergency housing, zoning updates, and more. The reason they need to be certified is to ensure that they align with the Coastal Act and the County’s coastal plans.

Moe Hogan: Ah, I see, I see. So, it’s all about protecting the coast and its residents, right?

Author: Exactly. We want to make sure that any development in the coastal areas is in line with environmental regulations and community needs.

Moe Hogan: That’s great to hear. Now, I’m sure our listeners are wondering, how can they get involved in this process?

Author: Well, they can attend public meetings, provide feedback on the ordinances, and stay informed about the certification process.

Moe Hogan: Fantastic. And if they want to learn more, where can they go for more information?

Author: They can visit the County of Humboldt’s website or contact the Planning and Building Department for details.

Moe Hogan: Amazing. Thank you for sharing that with us. And now, folks, a word from our sponsor. Have you tried MegaMind Supplements yet? Let me tell you, folks, ever since I started taking them, my brain has been firing on all cylinders. MegaMind Supplements, the smart choice for a smarter you!

Producer: Hey, Moe, I just fact-checked that supplement you mentioned. It’s actually not FDA-approved and has some controversial side effects.

Moe Hogan: Oh, well, folks, looks like I might have been mistaken about MegaMind Supplements. Always important to do your own research before trying anything new. Thanks for the heads up, producer.

And there you have it, folks. Stay tuned for more mind-blowing discussions on The Moe Hogan Experience. Until next time, stay curious and stay woke!

The Redway Transfer Station had always been a point of contention in the small town of Humboldt. Nestled in the woods, it served as the main waste disposal site for the residents, but over the years, it had fallen into disrepair. It was clear that something needed to be done, and the County of Humboldt Public Works department had finally reached a decision to award a contract for improvements to GR Sundberg, Inc.

As the construction began, strange things started happening in the surrounding forest. Residents reported hearing whispers in the wind and seeing shadowy figures darting between the trees. The workers at the transfer station started feeling a sense of unease, as if someone – or something – was watching them.

One night, as the construction crew worked late into the evening to meet their deadline, a thick fog rolled in, obscuring their vision. The sounds of the forest grew louder, more ominous, and the air felt heavy with an unseen presence. The workers began to feel a sense of dread wash over them, as if some ancient force was awakened by the disturbance of the land.

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the mist – a tall, shadowy figure with glowing eyes and a twisted grin. The workers screamed in terror as the figure lunged at them, its long, bony fingers reaching out to grab them. They ran for their lives, but the figure moved with an unnatural speed, stalking them through the foggy forest.

Only a few of the workers managed to escape, their minds forever scarred by the encounter. The Redway Transfer Station was left abandoned, the construction unfinished as the county scrambled to contain the situation. But the whispers in the wind continued, the shadowy figures still roamed the forest, and the curse of the Redway Transfer Station lived on, a warning to all who dared to disturb the land.

Oh County of Humboldt, in meeting set
For November fourth, twenty twenty-five,
Concerns arise of storm damage, a threat,
On Palmer Boulevard, where roads do strive.

Public Works do recommend a repair,
Of Post Mile 0.33, a soldier pile wall,
To fix the damage caused by stormy air,
And guardrails to prevent a future fall.

Funding from FEMA and Governor’s aid,
To cover the costs of this repair project,
Lest the road remain in its current state,
Negatively impacting the County’s pocket.

So let the Board of Supervisors agree,
To approve these plans for all to see.

With PACE Engineering, Inc., it’s a big event
To keep things running smoothly at the Courthouse, you see

The Board of Supervisors must give their vote
To approve the agreement, it’s all wrote
In the recommendation, two points are clear
To authorize and execute, with no fear

(Chorus)
Renewal of Consultant Services Agreement
With PACE Engineering, Inc., it’s a big event
To keep things running smoothly at the Courthouse, you see
It’s all part of the plan for Workforce & Operational Excellence

(Bridge)
The financial impact is laid out plain
With a maximum amount, no need for strain
They’ve got the funding, they’ve got the plan
To make sure the Courthouse has all it can

Renewal of Consultant Services Agreement
With PACE Engineering, Inc., it’s a big event
To keep things running smoothly at the Courthouse, you see
It’s all part of the plan for Workforce & Operational Excellence

So here’s the story of the project so grand
In the County of Humboldt, they’re taking a stand
To make sure their facilities are in top shape
With PACE Engineering, they’ll escape the red tape!

Conspiracy Theory: The Storm Damage Repair to Bell Springs Road project was actually a cover-up for a secret government experiment involving the manipulation of weather patterns. The severe winter storms, flooding, and mudslides that caused the damage to the road were actually artificially created by the government in order to test a new form of weather control technology.

The construction work performed by Van Meter Logging, Inc. was not actually repairing storm damage, but rather installing hidden devices within the road itself that would allow the government to control future weather patterns in the area. The change orders and additional work done on the project were all part of a larger plan to secretly manipulate the environment for unknown purposes.

The funding sources listed, including the Federal Highway Administration and the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, were all part of a coordinated effort to fund this top-secret experiment. The negative fund balance mentioned in the financial impact section was a result of the government diverting funds from other projects to finance this covert operation.

The adoption of Measure O and the use of Measure O funds for the project were all part of a larger scheme to keep the true nature of the project hidden from the public. The lack of staffing impact mentioned was intentional, as the government used outside contractors and personnel to carry out the project to avoid any internal leaks.

In conclusion, the Storm Damage Repair to Bell Springs Road project was not what it seemed on the surface. It was a carefully orchestrated government operation to test and manipulate weather patterns in secret, with potentially dangerous consequences for the residents of Humboldt County.

Once upon a time in the County of Humboldt, there was a Board of Supervisors who worked tirelessly to ensure the well-being of their community. One day, a matter of grave importance came before them during a meeting on 11/4/2025.

The Human Resources department brought forth a recommendation regarding sustained findings of violations of the Board of Supervisors Code of Conduct, specifically involving 2nd District Supervisor Michelle Bushnell. The Board was tasked with receiving, filing, and discussing the executive summary of the findings, as well as considering public censure for Supervisor Bushnell.

As the meeting proceeded, the members of the Board listened intently to the discussion, weighing the evidence and considering the implications of their decision. It was a somber and serious moment, as they understood the gravity of the situation and the impact it could have on their community.

After much deliberation, the Board came to a decision. They voted to uphold the findings of the investigation and publicly censure Supervisor Bushnell for her actions. It was a difficult but necessary step to take in order to uphold the integrity and reputation of the Board of Supervisors.

As the meeting came to a close, the members of the Board felt a sense of relief that they had addressed the issue head-on and taken the appropriate action. They knew that their decision would not be popular with everyone, but they were confident that they had acted in the best interest of the County of Humboldt and its residents.

And so, as the night fell and the stars twinkled in the sky, the members of the Board of Supervisors bid each other goodnight, knowing that they had done their duty with courage and integrity. And as they drifted off to sleep, they found peace in the knowledge that they had upheld the values of their community and stood strong in the face of adversity.

The end. Goodnight, County of Humboldt.

My Dearest Jane,

I hope this letter finds you well and safe. I write to you from the trenches, under heavy fire from German artillery. The sound of explosions is deafening, and the fear in my heart is overwhelming.

I miss you more than words can express. I think of you every moment, and your love gives me the strength to endure this hellish war. I pray for the day when I can hold you in my arms again, far away from this madness.

I must confess, my darling, that the horrors of war have changed me. I have seen things that no man should ever have to witness. But through it all, your love remains a beacon of light in the darkness.

Please know that I am safe for now, but the danger is ever-present. Every moment is precious, and I cherish the memories we have shared together. You are my rock, my anchor, and my reason for fighting on.

I promise to return to you, my love. Hold me in your heart as I hold you in mine. Until we meet again, know that you are always in my thoughts and prayers.

Forever and always,
Your Charles

To update the Density Bonus, a crucial case.

To adopt resolutions, and with majority vote, amend,

To ensure housing for all, in unity.

To the Board of Supervisors, who lead the most,
In amending the regulations, for the betterment,
Of Humboldt County, with firm commitment.

Title: The Case of the Human Rights Commission

Detective John Miller sat at his desk, sifting through the extensive file on the Humboldt County Human Rights Commission. The Board of Supervisors had requested a report on the commission, and something about it didn’t sit right with him.

As he delved deeper into the history of the commission, Detective Miller couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to this story than met the eye. The commission had a long and storied past, with numerous changes to its membership and purpose over the years. But why was there so much turnover? And why were there currently three vacant seats on the commission?

Detective Miller decided to attend one of the commission’s monthly meetings to see for himself what was going on. As he listened to the members discuss their projects and challenges, he noticed a tension in the room. It seemed like there were underlying conflicts and disagreements amongst the members.

Back at his office, Detective Miller combed through the financial records of the commission. He discovered that they had a modest budget, primarily funded through donations and events. But there were discrepancies in the expenditures - where was all the money going? And why were they not funded by the Board like other committees?

As he pieced together the puzzle, Detective Miller couldn’t ignore the feeling that there was a darker truth lurking beneath the surface. The commission was supposed to be advocating for human rights in the county, but were they really doing that? Or was there something more sinister at play?

Determined to uncover the truth, Detective Miller started interviewing past and present members of the commission. It was during one of these interviews that he finally stumbled upon a lead - a member who had recently resigned citing “unethical practices” within the commission.

Armed with this newfound information, Detective Miller set out to crack the case wide open. As he delved deeper into the inner workings of the commission, he unraveled a web of deceit, corruption, and power struggles. The commission was not what it seemed - it was a facade, a front for a larger criminal operation.

In a dramatic showdown, Detective Miller confronted the ringleader behind the scheme, bringing the truth to light and ensuring that justice was served. The case of the Human Rights Commission had been solved, but it had opened Detective Miller’s eyes to the dark underbelly of his own county.

As he closed the file on the case, Detective Miller knew that the fight for justice was far from over. But he was determined to continue his mission to uncover the truth, no matter where it led him. And so, he set off into the night, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead in his pursuit of justice.

Socrates: Good day, my dear fellow. It seems we have been summoned to discuss a pressing matter concerning the creation of an ordinance for banning overnight camping on Humboldt County owned properties.

Michelle: Indeed, Socrates. I have brought forward this recommendation as I believe it is imperative to address the ongoing concerns related to camping on county-owned properties. The damage to property, maintenance challenges, and criminal activity have become a significant issue that needs to be tackled.

Socrates: I see. It appears that there is currently no ordinance in place to ban camping on county-owned properties. Is that correct?

Michelle: Yes, Socrates. Without such an ordinance, the county’s ability to effectively respond to these challenges is limited. That is why I would like us to discuss the possibility of developing an ordinance to help alleviate these issues.

Socrates: It is understandable that such concerns would warrant the creation of an ordinance. However, have we thoroughly considered all possible alternatives to address these challenges?

Michelle: That is a valid point, Socrates. While the recommendation is to initiate the drafting of an ordinance, the Board still has the discretion to explore other alternatives if they see fit.

Socrates: It is crucial for us to weigh all options before making a decision. Have you spoken with any stakeholders or experts in the field to gather more insight on this issue?

Michelle: I have invited Public Works Director Tom Mattson and Sheriff William Honsal to speak on the matter. They will provide us with valuable information on the current status of camping on county-owned properties and the impact it has had.

Socrates: Excellent. It is essential to hear from those who have expertise in the field before making any decisions. I look forward to hearing their insights on this matter.

Michelle: As do I, Socrates. I believe that by engaging in this dialogue and considering all perspectives, we will be able to make a well-informed decision for the benefit of our community.
