Ok, I read the report. Anything in particular there that would justify taking on major liabilities for voluntary activities?

In that case, the County will have to evaluate which is the greater risk: losing volunteers or assuming liability for them. Or, they may be able to do both depending …

I have a dog. No one is euthanasing pets, just unwanted and overpopulated animals. It’s wonderful if they can be rehabed and adopted, but that doesn’t mean the County should …

If it’s a race, I’m betting on the Pass.

I saw that, but it sounded like they were volunteering to improve adoption rates, which is a nice thing but isn’t strictly necessary work.

It’s going to be under water before I am gone.

That picture makes me cry. I’m actually crying right now. It’s been just over a year since I had to “do the kindness” to my beloved dog… the one pictured …

Seems Like “Boondoggle Bump” has a nice ring to it.

I guess you don’t have any pets; and if you do, do you see them as more than just things?As far as signed waivers, in the end it’s the insurance …

Did you skip the part that mentioned how volunteers do the work of five paid employees???Yeah. Nice to have people working for free, right?

Yes. It’s definitely the insurance company that covers the county. They see the liabilities there at the shelter and rather than be the force that pushes the county to fix …

‘Under-crossing’, is unwieldy. Why not, “‘Overpass’? At that point, simply saying ‘I-O’ would suffice. Except for Transplants, who would insist on calling it, ‘The I-O’.Granted, this suggestion comes from someone …

If you think euthanizing shelter pets is so easy, go down there and do it yourself.there is extensive liability with euthanasia, too - in addition to accidental needle sticks, it’s …

I remember Ron Brown. He used to throw one hell of a yardsale every year over off of Graham Road.

I’d suggest naming it after one of the people who had to die at that intersection before CalTrans would implement these changes, but there are too many to choose from.

Read the Civil Grand Jury report before you determine that the volunteer program isn’t needed. Or ask the Shelter Director or any of the kennel staff. The volunteers’ activities are …

I think the point is that group homes are not cheap nor is public health and safety so we should focus on the value of the outcome, the investment and …

I would say such a waiver is appropriate to protect the County and the people it serves. The financial state of the County is precarious enough without risking lawsuits from …

Wilson will be a great Board chair! A voice of reason.

Maybe and again judging from a distance and not while a recipient of his “Services”. Humboldt loves to sweep all its’ public health and civic duties under LE’s thin blue …

Exactly!

“Ok” to do that? If you think people are doing it by choice go try living that way yourself. Did you not read that they were cleaning the place up …

My old 4WD Jeep and my adventure bike could handle a lot of deep water crossings, but yeah, I always looked for warning signs, planned my approach, and executed my …

Fine I don’t want to go to any of your “Cranky” parties anyway. LOL. Cranky calling Bah humbug is funny. At least i have a sense of humor, once in …

Murder Mountain!

I know that corner. The driver could see that hazard. Maybe a sign would have made a difference. Great idea though.

Don’t sign it It is legally enforceable and they sheriff and county are lying about each case being looked at. They will say , you signed the waiver, kick rocks.
