The Eureka Police Department is looking into an alleged assault said to have taken place at Eureka High School earlier today. 

North Coast News reports that EPD was called to campus at around 1:30 p.m. for an incident involving at least one student. The school was not placed on lockdown and EPD tells NCN there is no active threat to anyone else at this time.

Arcata Elevator Rescue: Arcata Fire Engine 8215 is on scene at Cal Poly Humboldt on the 4th floor of the Jolly Giant Commons with multiple people stuck in an elevator that is without power. Engine 8215 is now requesting Engine 8217 respond from McKinleyville to assist. University PD is also on scene and is attempting to contact a representative from the elevator company.

The Times-Standard’s Jackson Guilfoil reports that California’s Fair Political Practices Commission has issued it’s long-awaited advice letter as regards Arcata City Councilmember Alex Stillman and the city’s Gateway Play.

In short: No dice, says the FPPC. Stillman, who was elected in June, cannot participate in any discussions or votes concerning the city-defining plan, which seeks to vastly increase the amount of housing in a somewhat underutilized portion of town.

That means only three of five members of the council — a bare quorum — are currently available to vote on the plan, and there’s another election currently underway. At least one of the current candidates — Dana Quillman — has much the same conflicts of interests as Stillman and Mayor Stacey Atkins-Salazar do, and possibly more do as well. Stay tuned.

We wrote about all this a while ago, before the election:

Arcata’s Mayor Can’t Participate in the City-Defining Gateway Area Plan; These Two Current Candidates for City Council Probably Can’t Either, for the Same Reason
