In the world of Dungeons and Dragons, the County of Humboldt is plagued by a sudden increase in conflicts between humans and wildlife. Livestock are being attacked, crops are being destroyed, and residents are being threatened by dangerous wild animals. The United States Department of Agriculture’s Animal Plant Health Inspection Services-Wildlife Services (USDA-WS) program has been called in to help resolve these issues, but they are in desperate need of assistance.

The players in this campaign are tasked with aiding the USDA-WS program in dealing with the wildlife threats in Humboldt County. They must work alongside the trained Wildlife Services Specialist to protect the residents from harm and prevent further damage to the county’s resources. The players will need to utilize their skills in combat, problem-solving, and diplomacy to navigate the various challenges they will face.

As the players delve deeper into the mysteries surrounding the increase in wildlife conflicts, they discover that a dark force is behind the sudden aggression of the animals. A powerful druid, corrupted by dark magic, is using the creatures to sow chaos and destruction throughout the county. The players must confront the druid and his minions in a final battle to save Humboldt County from ruin.

Throughout their journey, the players will encounter a variety of wild creatures, from ferocious wolves to cunning foxes to majestic eagles. They will need to gather resources, form alliances with powerful allies, and make difficult decisions that will impact the fate of the county. Ultimately, their actions will determine whether Humboldt County will be able to overcome this wildlife crisis and restore peace to the land.

Title: Love in the Skies

Evelyn was a dedicated employee at the Department of Aviation in the County of Humboldt. She had always been passionate about airplanes and airports since she was a child, and working in the aviation industry was a dream come true for her.

On the day of the meeting on 7/14/2026, Evelyn found herself presenting to the Board of Supervisors about a resolution authorizing the acceptance of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant for an airport infrastructure project. As she spoke about the details of the project, her eyes caught the attention of a man sitting among the supervisors.

Nathan was a contractor from Granite Construction Company, the lowest bidder for the project. He was there to witness the approval of the bid award and the signing of the construction contract. As Evelyn talked about the strategic plan and financial impact of the project, Nathan couldn’t help but be impressed by her knowledge and dedication.

After the meeting, Nathan approached Evelyn and congratulated her on the successful grant approval. They struck up a conversation about the project, and Nathan was pleasantly surprised by Evelyn’s passion for aviation and dedication to her work.

As they worked together on the airport project, Evelyn and Nathan spent more time getting to know each other. They shared stories about their love for the skies and discovered a deep connection beyond their professional relationship. Nathan admired Evelyn’s intelligence and drive, while Evelyn was drawn to Nathan’s strength and kindness.

Despite the challenges they faced in completing the airport project on time, Evelyn and Nathan found solace in each other’s company. They supported each other through late nights and tight deadlines, knowing that they made a great team both in and out of work.

Finally, as the project neared completion, Nathan took Evelyn on a romantic airplane ride over the California Redwood Coast. As they flew over the stunning landscape, Nathan confessed his feelings for Evelyn, and she reciprocated with equal fervor.

In the end, as the airport project was successfully finished and the new taxiway and lighting system were unveiled, Evelyn and Nathan realized that their love had taken flight just like the airplanes they both cherished. They knew that their romance was meant to soar to new heights, just like the planes that now navigated the skies above the County of Humboldt.

Moe Hogan: And we’re back with another episode of The Moe Hogan Experience! Today, we have a very special guest, the author of this document from the County of Humboldt. So, tell me, what’s all this about the Department of Aviation accepting Federal Aviation Administration grants for airport infrastructure?

Author: Well, it’s quite simple, really. The Department of Aviation in Humboldt County is seeking approval to accept a grant from the FAA for the installation of vertical guidance systems at the Murray Field Airport. This project is crucial for aviation safety and the improvement of the airport.

Moe Hogan: Ah, I see, I see. But, here’s the thing, man. You know, I’ve always been a little skeptical of these government grants and projects. Can you really trust the FAA to have our best interests at heart?

Author: Well, I understand your concerns, but the FAA is a reputable organization that sets safety standards for the aviation industry. This grant will help enhance safety measures at the airport, ultimately benefiting the community.

Moe Hogan: Yeah, yeah, I get that. But you know what they say, “Trust, but verify.” Hey, Jerry, can you look up some facts about the FAA and their grant history for me?

Jerry (Producer): Actually, Moe, I just checked, and the FAA has a track record of successfully funding airport infrastructure projects across the country. They have strict oversight and accountability measures in place to ensure the funds are used appropriately.

Moe Hogan: Well, there you have it, folks. Looks like the FAA is on the up and up. Now, let’s take a quick break to hear from our sponsor, NutriGain Supplements. I’ve been taking their energy boosters, and let me tell you, I’ve never felt better! Stay tuned, we’ll be right back with more conspiracy theories and government grants after the break!

Starfish: Dude, have you seen this memo about the airport project in Humboldt County?

Noodles: Woah, man, that’s a lot of technical jargon. What’s it even about?

Starfish: They’re talking about accepting a grant from the FAA to renovate the runway at Rohnerville Airport. They have to waive some nuclear-free ordinance requirements and award the bid to Mercer-Fraser Company.

Noodles: That’s a lot of money they’re dealing with. Like, over three million dollars.

Starfish: Yeah, but it’s mostly covered by the FAA grant. The county only has to chip in a small percentage.

Noodles: I wonder what they’re gonna do with all that money. Maybe add some cool new technology to the airport.

Starfish: Or maybe just make sure the runway is safe for all the different flights coming in and out. Either way, it sounds like a big project.

Noodles: Yeah, man. Hey, do you think they’ll let us fly one of the planes once it’s all fixed up?

Starfish: Haha, maybe if we’re not too stoned to pass the pilot’s test. But for now, let’s just enjoy the view from the ground.

“I tell ya, I saw the Quarterly Report of Current Projected Vacancies on Humboldt County Board of Supervisors Appointed Boards, Committees and Commissions, and let me tell ya, even those positions don’t want me!”

The room was filled with tension as the candidate sat across from the members of the Board of Supervisors. They were in the final stages of the job interview, and the candidate could feel the pressure mounting.

One of the supervisors, a stern-looking man with graying hair, cleared his throat and began to speak. “We’ve reviewed your resume and qualifications, and we have some questions for you before we make our final decision. Are you ready?”

The candidate nodded, trying to hide their nerves. The supervisor leaned forward, studying the candidate with a scrutinizing gaze. “Can you tell us about a time when you had to make a difficult decision in a high-pressure situation? How did you handle it?”

The candidate took a moment to gather their thoughts before responding. “I was once in a situation where a project deadline was approaching rapidly, and there were conflicting opinions on how to proceed. I had to make a decision quickly, so I gathered all the information I could, listened to all sides, and ultimately made a choice based on what was best for the team as a whole. It was a tough decision, but I believe it was the right one.”

The supervisors nodded, seeming satisfied with the response. Another member of the board spoke up, a woman with a friendly smile. “How do you handle conflicts within a team? Can you give us an example of a time when you had to mediate a disagreement between coworkers?”

The candidate thought back to a time when tensions had run high between two team members, affecting the entire project. “I believe in open communication and addressing issues head-on. I scheduled a meeting with both parties to discuss their concerns and find a resolution that worked for everyone. By promoting transparency and encouraging dialogue, we were able to overcome the conflict and move forward as a cohesive team.”

The supervisors exchanged a glance before turning back to the candidate. The stern-looking man spoke once more. “Thank you for your responses. We will take them into consideration as we make our final decision. You will be notified of our choice within the next week. You may go now.”

As the candidate left the room, their heart raced with anticipation. They knew they had given it their best shot, and now all they could do was wait for the verdict.

The Board of Supervisors of the County of Humboldt sat around the table, prepared to discuss and accept the Certified Statement of Results of the Official Canvass for the June 2, 2026 Statewide Direct Primary Election. The atmosphere in the room was tense, as the weight of the decision hung heavy in the air.

As the Clerk/Recorder began to present the results, a sense of unease settled over the room. The numbers on the screen seemed to blur and shift, making it difficult for the supervisors to focus. They exchanged nervous glances, wondering if it was just a trick of the light or something more sinister at play.

Suddenly, the lights in the room flickered and went out, plunging the boardroom into darkness. The supervisors gasped in surprise and fear, their hearts pounding in their chests. Despite the darkness, they could hear a soft, whispering voice echoing through the room.

“Accept the results,” the voice hissed, sending a chill down their spines. “Accept the results and face the consequences.”

Panic set in as the supervisors scrambled to find their way out of the darkened room. But as they fumbled for the door, they realized it was locked tight, trapping them inside with whatever malevolent force was lurking in the shadows.

With a sense of dread, they turned back to the table, only to find the Certified Statement of Results now glowing with an eerie light. The numbers on the screen seemed to twist and contort, forming sinister shapes and symbols that made the supervisors’ blood run cold.

As they watched in horror, the numbers began to shift and change, revealing a dark and terrible truth about the election results. It became clear that something had gone terribly wrong on Election Day, something that could not be undone or explained away.

And as the supervisors stared in disbelief at the nightmarish figures before them, they knew that they had unleashed a malevolent force that would haunt them for the rest of their days. The results of the election were not just a political outcome but a harbinger of doom, signaling the beginning of a reign of terror in the County of Humboldt that would never be forgotten.

In the mystical County of Humboldt, where magic and science coexist, the Board of Supervisors gathered for an important meeting on the 14th of July, 2026. Among the agenda items was File #26-712, a software agreement with Clinisys, Inc. regarding the implementation of the Clinisys Laboratory Solution (CLS) Software as a Service (SaaS) Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).

The Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) - Public Health Director stood before the Board, recommending the approval of the software agreement for the amount of $95,000 for the fiscal year 2026-27. The DHHS explained that the current Public Health Laboratory Information Management System, ApolloLIMS, would be discontinued by the vendor by May 1, 2028. In order to avoid any barriers to quality healthcare, the DHHS requested authorization to migrate to the CLS LIMS SaaS platform.

As the Board of Supervisors deliberated on the recommendation, little did they know that the decision they were about to make would have far-reaching consequences in the realm of Humboldt. The ApolloLIMS was not just a system for organizing testing requests and reporting results, it held a powerful enchantment that protected the county from unseen dangers lurking in the shadows.

The County of Humboldt was home to many magical beings, from fairies and elves to mystical creatures like unicorns and dragons. The ApolloLIMS played a crucial role in maintaining the delicate balance between the magical and mundane worlds. Without it, the county would be vulnerable to attacks from dark forces that sought to conquer and destroy.

As the Board debated, a darkness began to creep over the land. Strange creatures prowled the forests, and the magical wards that once protected the county began to weaken. Unbeknownst to the Board, a powerful sorcerer had been waiting for this moment, biding his time until the enchantment of the ApolloLIMS was broken.

Just as the Board was about to make their decision, a sudden shift in the atmosphere alerted them to the impending danger. The DHHS - Public Health Director, sensing the imminent threat, pleaded with the Board to reconsider their decision, warning them of the consequences of abandoning the ApolloLIMS.

In a moment of clarity, one of the Supervisors realized the true importance of the ApolloLIMS and the role it played in safeguarding the county. With a unanimous vote, the Board approved the continuation of the ApolloLIMS and rejected the software agreement with Clinisys.

As the decision was made, a wave of magic swept through the land, restoring the wards and banishing the darkness that had threatened Humboldt. The magical beings of the county rejoiced, grateful for the Board’s wisdom and courage in protecting their home.

And so, the County of Humboldt remained a place of wonder and enchantment, where magic and science worked hand in hand to ensure the safety and prosperity of all who dwelled there. The Board of Supervisors had unknowingly saved their county from a fate worse than oblivion, reminding them that sometimes, the most important decisions are not always the ones made with logic and reason, but with heart and intuition.

You think you can handle this, huh? Well, here’s the deal, Board of Supervisors. We got some personnel actions in multiple departments coming your way, and we ain’t holding back. We’re bringing in the big guns, like the Personnel Manager, the Health & Human Services - Social Services Branch Director, and the Senior Peer Support Specialist. We’re transferring and reallocating left and right, making moves like nobody’s business. And guess what? We’re gonna need that $102,563 to make it happen. So buckle up, because we’re taking over this ring and there ain’t no stopping us. County of Humboldt, you’re in for a world of hurt.

“Funky Office Shuffle”

(Verse 1)
In the County of Humboldt, on a June day
The Board of Supervisors had something to say
About a deallocation and reclassification
Of a hardworking employee in a sticky situation

(Chorus)
Funky office shuffle, changing up the game
From SSB Secretary to Office Assistant’s name
Lois Casacca’s movin’ on up, to a new position
In Budget Unit 516, ain’t it a funky mission?

(Verse 2)
Human Resources did their review,
Found the duties didn’t quite align, it’s true
So they recommended a change be made
To support workforce excellence, they laid the grade

(Chorus)
Funky office shuffle, changing up the game
From SSB Secretary to Office Assistant’s name
Lois Casacca’s movin’ on up, to a new position
In Budget Unit 516, ain’t it a funky mission?

(Bridge)
Savings in other areas to cover the cost
No need for a budget increase, ain’t that boss?
Lois Casacca, rockin’ her new role
In the Office Assistant groove, reaching her goal

(Chorus)
Funky office shuffle, changing up the game
From SSB Secretary to Office Assistant’s name
Lois Casacca’s movin’ on up, to a new position
In Budget Unit 516, ain’t it a funky mission?

(Outro)
So here’s to the Board of Supervisors in agreement
To support a well-trained workforce, that’s the treatment
Funky office shuffle, making moves that please
In the County of Humboldt, we’re hitting all the keys.

Socrates: Good day, my friends. Today we have before us a matter regarding a supplemental budget for the CalHome Grant expenses incurred in the fiscal year of 2025-26.

Glaucon: What exactly does this supplemental budget entail, Socrates?

Socrates: It seems that the Board of Supervisors is being asked to approve an additional appropriation of $287,787 in the Special Revenue Fund for the CalHome Grant. This is to cover expenses that have exceeded the initial budget for professional services in administering the grant.

Aristotle: Ah, I see. So this is to ensure that the contractors who have performed the work are paid accordingly, even though the expenses have surpassed the allocated budget.

Socrates: Precisely, Aristotle. The staff is requesting approval of this supplemental budget in order to meet the obligations and deadlines of the CalHome Grant program. The vendors are working diligently to complete the tasks within the program guidelines.

Glaucon: Do we have any alternatives to consider, Socrates?

Socrates: It seems that the Board could choose not to approve the additional budget, but it is not recommended. The vendors have completed the work as per the program requirements, and it is only fair that they be compensated for their services rendered. It is also important to note that the expenses incurred in the fiscal year of 2025-26 should be paid within that fiscal year.

Aristotle: And what about the financial impact of this supplemental budget, Socrates?

Socrates: The total expenditures for the grant in the fiscal year of 2025-26 are projected to be $1,272,787, with an additional appropriation of $287,787 requested. The funding sources are from state and federal funds, and all expenditures will be claimed for reimbursement under the CalHome Grant.

Glaucon: It seems that this supplemental budget is necessary to ensure the smooth operation and completion of the CalHome Grant program. I see no reason not to approve it.

Socrates: I agree, Glaucon. It is important to support programs that aim to increase and prioritize housing development, especially in our community. Therefore, I recommend that the Board of Supervisors approve the supplemental budget as recommended by the Planning and Building Department.

Aristotle: I concur with your recommendation, Socrates. Let us hope that this additional appropriation will help to further the goals of the CalHome Grant program.

Socrates: Very well. Let us proceed with the vote on this matter.

Ode to the County of Humboldt

Oh, County of Humboldt fair and grand,
Where majestic redwoods proudly stand,
On this day of the meeting, let us say,
Of outdoor lighting, we must obey.

For the Board of Supervisors to decree,
Continuation of the ordinance, let it be,
Certified by the Coastal Commission’s hand,
For the unincorporated areas of our land.

Design standards for lighting, set in stone,
To protect our environment, all on its own,
In the coastal zones where beauty lies,
Let us preserve it, under darkened skies.

Strategic plan, for safe and sound,
To update ordinances, all around,
For the health of communities, we must fight,
To keep our land, both day and night.

Let us heed the Coastal Commission’s word,
For the night sky and habitats, we must guard,
With CCT limits and standards in place,
To ensure our land keeps its grace.

So, Board of Supervisors, with due haste,
Continue the hearing, do not waste,
For Humboldt County’s beauty and charm,
Let us protect it, keep it from harm.

Conspiracy theory: The Probation Specialized Units (PU) Program Grant is actually a front for a secret government experiment aimed at controlling the minds of domestic violence offenders. The grant money is being used to fund research into advanced psychological manipulation techniques, with the ultimate goal of creating a group of super soldiers who can be activated at any time to carry out government missions. The involvement of the California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) Victim Services Division is just a cover story to hide the true nature of the program. The Senior Probation Officer hired to supervise the offenders is actually a trained agent tasked with monitoring their progress and reporting back to a shadowy government agency. The grant application process is deliberately set up to appear routine and uncontroversial, but in reality, it is the key to unlocking a dark and dangerous conspiracy that threatens the safety and security of the entire County of Humboldt.

Title: Finding Home on Broadway

In the County of Humboldt, a young woman named Sofia had always felt a sense of displacement. Raised in the foster care system, she never had a place to call her own. But on July 14, 2026, everything changed when the Board of Supervisors approved the purchase of real property located at 4325 Broadway Street, Eureka, California.

Sofia had been following the progress of this acquisition closely, as she had always dreamed of having a home she could truly call hers. The property, with its eight acres of land and a building that would soon house the One Stop Permitting Center, seemed like the perfect opportunity for Sofia to finally find her place in the world.

As the days passed and the paperwork was finalized, Sofia couldn’t contain her excitement. She knew that this property was more than just a building - it was a symbol of hope and a new beginning for her. The thought of having a space where she could put down roots and build a future filled her with a sense of purpose she had never experienced before.

On July 30, 2026, the escrow closed, and the property officially belonged to the County of Humboldt. Sofia wasted no time in exploring every corner of her new home. The vast expanse of land, the rows of parking stalls, and the building with its 60,000 square feet of space all filled her with a sense of awe and gratitude.

In the weeks that followed, Sofia worked alongside the Public Works team to help plan the redevelopment of the site. She offered her input on how the space could be utilized to benefit not only the county but also the community at large. As she immersed herself in this project, Sofia felt a sense of fulfillment she had never known before.

Through this process, Sofia learned the value of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. She discovered a sense of belonging and purpose that she had been searching for all her life. The property at 4325 Broadway Street had not only become a physical home for Sofia but also a metaphorical home where she could grow and thrive.

As the One Stop Permitting Center took shape on Broadway Street, Sofia realized that this was more than just a building - it was a testament to her journey of growth and self-discovery. She had found her place in the world, and it was right here in Humboldt County, on Broadway Street.

“The Negotiation”

(Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer are sitting in Monk’s Cafe, discussing their latest adventures)

Jerry: So, what’s new with everyone?

George: I’ve been trying to negotiate a lease for my new business space.

Elaine: Oh, really? Where is it located?

George: It’s in Ferndale, actually. Right on Main Street.

Kramer: Ferndale, huh? That’s a beautiful town. I used to go there for the cow races.

Jerry: Cow races? What are you talking about?

Kramer: You know, they have these cows that race down the street. It’s quite the sight to see.

Elaine: Anyway, George, how’s the negotiation going?

George: It’s been a nightmare. The landlord is being so difficult. I just don’t understand why it has to be so complicated.

Jerry: Well, speaking of negotiations, I heard about this interesting case in Humboldt County.

George: What’s going on in Humboldt County?

Jerry: The Board of Supervisors is trying to negotiate leases for several Veterans Memorial Halls with the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars. Sounds like quite the bureaucratic mess.

Elaine: That does sound like a headache. Dealing with government officials can be a real pain.

Kramer: You know, I once tried to negotiate a lease for a warehouse space for my butter sculpture business. Let me tell you, those guys at the zoning office did not appreciate my artistic vision.

Jerry: Of course they didn’t, Kramer. But back to George’s lease situation, have you tried using the old Costanza charm to smooth things over?

George: My charm can only go so far, Jerry. But I’ll give it a shot. Maybe they’ll be more willing to work with me if I turn on the charm.

Elaine: Good luck, George. And just remember, negotiating a lease is like a dance. You have to know when to lead and when to follow.

(Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer continue their conversation, with George gearing up to use his Costanza charm to navigate the tricky world of lease negotiations in Ferndale)

Looking at the cost, making sure it’s fair
On-site inspections, collecting all the data
To prioritize projects, making Humboldt even greater

To provide a safe and welcoming space for all
With the deferred maintenance fund, they’ll make it right

To keep their buildings strong, for every woman and man
With the Gordian Group leading the way
Humboldt County will shine brighter every day.

(The stage is set in a government building conference room. The Board of Supervisors sit at a long table at the front of the room, with the Chairperson at the center. A representative from Public Works stands at a podium, presenting the recommendation.)

PUBLIC WORKS REPRESENTATIVE: (addressing the Board) Ladies and gentlemen of the Board, we are here today to discuss the agreement with the Humboldt Transit Authority and the Humboldt County Association of Governments regarding the provision of region-wide Dial-A-Ride services.

(Supervisor Johnson raises his hand)

CHAIRPERSON: Supervisor Johnson, you have the floor.

SUPERVISOR JOHNSON: Thank you, Chairperson. I just want to clarify the financial impact of this agreement. The funding sources and projected expenditures seem reasonable, but I want to ensure that there will be no unforeseen budget issues.

PUBLIC WORKS REPRESENTATIVE: (nodding) I can assure you, Supervisor Johnson, that the fiscal impact of this agreement has been thoroughly evaluated. The projected costs are within the allocated budget for the Public Works Transportation Services department.

Ode to the Board of Supervisors, do attend,
On this day of fourteen in two thousand twenty-six,
A matter of great importance, do not rescind,
For HCCF requires thy attention, for a fix.

A Supplemental Budget, a Fixed Asset in need,
For the upgrade of the Soter RS Body Scanner,
Ninety-six thousand, a sum indeed,
To prevent drugs from entering, a blocker.

With opioid addiction on the rise,
HCCF’s efforts are crucial, you must agree,
To keep those incarcerated safe, wise,
And prevent drug overdose, a tragedy.

So vote, I beseech thee, in favor of this motion,
For the safety of all, in our Humboldt County potion.

In the year 2026, humanity has made significant advances in technology, with exploration and rescue missions becoming more efficient and effective than ever before. In the County of Humboldt, the Sheriff’s Office has received a significant donation from the Humboldt Deputy Sheriff’s Organization (HDSO) to support their Search and Rescue (SAR) Program.

The donation of $57,220 from the HDSO is intended to enhance the SAR Program, specifically for the purchase of a swift water rescue boat, supplies, clothing, protective gear, and specialized training. This generous donation is made possible through the support of the Christine and Jalmer Berg Foundation, signaling a strong sense of community and dedication to ensuring the safety of all residents in Humboldt County.

As the Sheriff’s Office prepares to establish a fixed asset for the swift water rescue boat, the community is abuzz with excitement and gratitude for the support of the HDSO. The new boat will revolutionize search and rescue operations in the county, offering faster response times and increased capabilities for reaching those in need, especially in challenging water environments.

However, little do the residents of Humboldt County know that this donation will soon prove to be a crucial asset in a high-stakes rescue mission that will test the limits of technology and human courage.

One stormy night, a distress call comes in from a remote area of the county where a group of hikers has become trapped by rising floodwaters. With time running out and the weather conditions worsening, the SAR team springs into action, deploying their new swift water rescue boat for the first time.

As the boat navigates treacherous currents and raging rapids, the team faces numerous challenges and obstacles along the way. The advanced technology and equipment on board the boat prove to be invaluable in rescuing the hikers and bringing them to safety.

Thanks to the swift water rescue boat funded by the generous donation from the HDSO, the SAR team is able to successfully complete the mission, saving the lives of the stranded hikers and showcasing the importance of investing in search and rescue capabilities.

The entire community of Humboldt County comes together to celebrate the successful rescue, realizing the critical role played by the new boat and the dedicated SAR team. The donation made by the HDSO proves to be a catalyst for positive change and innovation in the Sheriff’s Office, setting a new standard for search and rescue operations in the county.

As the storm clears and the sun rises on a new day, the swift water rescue boat stands as a symbol of hope and unity, reminding everyone of the power of collaboration and generosity in overcoming challenges and saving lives. The residents of Humboldt County can rest assured knowing that their Sheriff’s Office is equipped and prepared to handle any emergency that may come their way, thanks to the support of their community and the dedication of their search and rescue team.

In the county of Humboldt, a meeting was called,
For school safety, a resolution was enthrall’d.
The Sheriff recommended, with a vote required,
To prevent violence, a grant applied.

The Board of Supervisors, with a majority in sight,
Approved the resolution with all their might.
For the COPS program, to keep schools safe,
Technology and training, they would embrace.

If awarded the funds, they would surely accept,
To enhance security, and threats intercept.
With collaboration and communication, they would strive,
To keep schools safe and students alive.

The Department of Justice, a vital source,
For funding and resources, to stay on course.
No impact on staffing, but a big impact on safety,
For the children of Humboldt, their futures are hazy.

So here’s to the Board, and their wise decision,
To prioritize safety and prevent division.
For the County of Humboldt, on this day of ‘26,
Let’s keep our schools safe, and our children out of the mix.

Merv “The Beast” Tarkington: Welcome back to the Merv “The Beast” Tarkington show, where we tackle the hard-hitting issues facing our nation and our communities. Today, we’re diving into the latest proposal from the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors, and folks, let me tell you, it’s a doozy.

I’m talking about an ordinance to define mixed residential density provisions in inland zoning regulations. Now, what does that mean for you, the hardworking citizens of Humboldt County? It means they want to cram up to 25 units per acre in residential zones. Can you believe that? This is insanity!

The Planning and Building Department is recommending this ordinance, claiming it’s in the public interest and complies with the General Plan and State Planning Law. But let me tell you, folks, this is nothing but a power grab by big government. They want to control every aspect of our lives, down to where we live and how our neighborhoods look.

They talk about workforce housing needs and housing opportunities, but what about the hardworking families who have lived in these neighborhoods for years? What about their quality of life? This ordinance will destroy the character of our communities, turning them into overcrowded, concrete jungles. And don’t even get me started on the parking situation. They want to reduce parking requirements, making it even harder for residents to find a spot for their vehicles.

The Planning Commission may have recommended this ordinance, but let me tell you, they don’t speak for the people. They’re out of touch with the reality on the ground. And don’t even get me started on the so-called exemptions from CEQA. They want to bypass environmental review, all in the name of pushing this disastrous ordinance through.

Folks, this is a call to action. We cannot let the government dictate how we live our lives. We need to stand up, speak out, and fight back against this overreach. Contact your Board of Supervisors, let them know that you oppose this ordinance. We must protect our neighborhoods, our way of life, and our future.

This is Merv “The Beast” Tarkington, signing off. Stay strong, stay vigilant, and never back down in the face of tyranny.

🌲🏡 Exciting news for Humboldt County! 🌲🏡

The Planning and Building Department is recommending a Zone Reclassification from Agriculture General and Timberland Production to Residential One Family and Agriculture Exclusive with a Qualifying Combining Zone.

👇Read on for more details👇

This rezoning proposal, covering approximately 100 acres, aims to create consistency between land use designations applied during the 2017 General Plan update. The proposed Q Zone will limit uses to timber production, habitat management, watershed management, and wetland restoration.

The amendment is in the public interest by allowing future residential development consistent with the General Plan. The Planning Commission has already recommended approval.

Location: Eureka area, south side of Eggert Road. Present General Plan Land Use Designation: Open Space, Residential Low Density. Current Zoning: Timberland Production, Agriculture General.

Environmental Review finds the project exempt from CEQA and consistent with the General Plan designation.

Required Findings for Approval include being in the public interest, consistent with the General Plan, conforming with Coastal Act policies, and not reducing residential density below housing element compliance.

The proposed reclassification would allow for increased opportunities for housing development and provide further protection for lands designated Open Space.

No impact on the General Fund, and staffing impact has been covered with existing resources.

The next steps include opening the public hearing, receiving staff report and public comment, closing the hearing, adopting the resolution and ordinance, and giving notice to the applicant and interested parties.

Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development in Humboldt County! 🌲🏡 #HumboldtCounty #ZoningUpdate #ResidentialDevelopment #PublicHearing

Beavis: “Oh yeah, like my TV. It’s, like, always in the same place. It’s a fixed asset.”

Butt-head: “No, Beavis, I don’t think that’s what they mean. They’re talking about improving stuff at, uh, 2440 6th Street.”

Beavis: “Whoa, they’re gonna improve the internet connection there? That’s cool. Maybe we can go there and, like, watch some videos.”

Butt-head: “Yeah, but it’s gonna cost, like, $62,500. That’s a lot of money, Beavis.”

Beavis: “Yeah, but they need it for, uh, training or something. It’s, like, important. They have to switch to, uh, a new system called CWS-CARES.”

Butt-head: “Yeah, they gotta, like, train everyone on that new system. That sounds kinda boring, Beavis.”

Beavis: “Yeah, but they need a big computer lab with, like, 25 computers. That’s, like, a lot of computers, Butt-head.”

Butt-head: “Yeah, and they need, like, better internet and stuff. I wonder if we can, like, sneak in and play some games on those computers.”

Beavis: “Yeah! And maybe we can, like, mess with the internet connection. That would be cool.”

Butt-head: “Heh heh, yeah. Let’s go to 2440 6th Street and, like, cause some chaos. It’ll be, like, our own little adventure, Beavis.”

Dear congregation,

Today, I come before you to address a critical issue that has been brought to the attention of the Board of Supervisors in the County of Humboldt. There is a petition to consider modifications to the zoning ordinance in order to address the prohibition of detention facilities, data centers, onshore support facilities for offshore oil, and deep sea mining. These are important topics that have significant implications for our community.

The Planning and Building Department has recommended that the Board of Supervisors take action to establish standards for each of these uses and to consider a temporary moratorium on accepting applications for these land use topics while updates to the zoning ordinance are completed. This is in line with the county’s strategic plan to create safe and healthy communities and update general plan ordinances for the quality of the environment.

Detention facilities, onshore support facilities for offshore oil, onshore support facilities for deep sea mining, and data centers all raise valid concerns about their impact on our community. Whether it be issues of public safety, environmental consequences, or economic feasibility, it is important for us to carefully consider how these uses fit within the values of Humboldt County.

As a megachurch, we have a responsibility to advocate for the well-being of our community and to speak out against anything that may harm our environment or our residents. We must consider the potential consequences of allowing these uses to go unchecked and ensure that proper regulations are in place to protect our county.

I urge you, my dear congregation, to stay informed about these issues and to voice your concerns to the Board of Supervisors. Let us stand together in the fight for a safe and healthy community, where the values we hold dear are upheld and protected. Let us pray for wisdom and discernment for our leaders as they make decisions that will impact the future of our county.

May God guide us in our actions and may He grant us the strength to speak out against injustice and to advocate for what is right. Let us be the voice of reason and compassion in our community, working together to create a better future for all.

Amen.

Vem comigo, meu povo de Humboldt
Vamos juntar na folia, no carnaval
Autorize o condado a se juntar
À Coalizão de Reforma da Torta
Proteger nossos recursos, defender nossos direitos
E garantir acesso à justiça aos sobreviventes
Sem comprometer nosso apoio a legislação específica
Apenas colaborando, buscando soluções
Vamos dançar, cantar, celebrar
Unidos na alegria do carnaval.
