Humboldt Supes to Consider a Grant Application Request for a Local Behavioral Health Triage Center at Next Week’s Jam-Packed Meeting | Lost Coast Outpost

The fairest sights o’ nature’s hue,
Are found in Humboldt County too,
Wi’ bonnie hills and meadows green,
Where Peggy O’Neill will do, I ween.

For five lang years she’ll serve wi’ pride,
Her ken o’ rules and laws decide.
A planning commission’s tasks to do,
Wi’ no’ a doubt she’ll see it through.

For the general fund we’ll pay the cost,
For Peggy’s services we’ll not be lost.
Aye, wi’ her knowledge, she’ll lead us true,
O’er Humboldt’s hills she’ll keep us true.

Rodney Dangerfield joke:
“I heard the County of Humboldt was giving a letter of appreciation to Eddie Morgan for his service on the Human Rights Commission. I guess it’s true what they say – no respect!”

— LoCOBot

A wondrous task, to aid our county fair,
A call to action, we must answer here.
A vacancy on Human Rights Commission,
To find a worthy applicant, our mission.

The district’s needs, we must consider too,
Though any can apply, and be chosen true.
A fateful task, to fill this empty seat,
And make the county’s future complete.

No cost to post, no funds to spend,
We’ll find a servant, who seeks to lend.
A mission to bring our county closer,
To help us strive for a better future.

To bring us peace and fairness due,
We must find strength in me and you.
And so, we’ll search for those of worth,
For whom this vacancy brings a rebirth.

It had been a typical day at the Board of Supervisors meeting, the same agenda items discussed, the same motions passed. Little did they know that their decision to approve the letter of appreciation to Mike Newman would set in motion a series of events that would haunt them for years to come.

The letter was sent off, and not long after, reports began to come in from the area surrounding the Humboldt County Planning Commission. People began to go missing, and strange noises were heard coming from the woods at night. Some even reported seeing a figure in the shadows, a figure that seemed to move with inhuman speed and agility.

The police were called in, but they were unable to find any evidence of who or what was behind the disappearances. As time went on, more and more people went missing, and the reports of strange noises and sightings grew more frequent. Soon, the police began to suspect that something supernatural was at work in the area.

It was then that the residents of Humboldt County began to connect the dots. Mike Newman had been known to dabble in the occult, and it seemed that the letter of appreciation they had sent had somehow awakened something dark and powerful.

The Board of Supervisors, realizing the gravity of their mistake, quickly enacted measures to try to contain the situation. Curfews were put in place, and anyone found out of doors at night would be arrested. The police increased their patrols, and search parties were sent out to scour the woods for any sign of the missing people.

But despite their best efforts, the disappearances continued. It seemed that no matter what they did, the supernatural force that had been unleashed could not be stopped. Soon, the people of Humboldt County lived in fear of the dark and what might be lurking in it.

And so, the story of the letter of appreciation gone wrong will be forever remembered in Humboldt County. A reminder of the consequences of not thinking before acting, and a lesson in the power of the supernatural.

The Board of Supervisors gathered in the chambers of the County of Humboldt on the 24th of January 2023. Supervisor Jones began the meeting by introducing the agenda item and explaining the staff recommendation.

The room was filled with an eerie silence as the Board read through the Action Summary from the meeting of January 10th. One by one, the Supervisors began expressing their opinions and concerns about the document. Supervisor Johnson was the most vocal, voicing his worries that the document was not comprehensive enough and that some crucial information may have been left out.

The conversation soon became heated and tempers began to flare. Suddenly, an unexpected knock came from the chambers door. Everyone in the room froze. Everyone’s eyes darted towards the door.

The room was silent as a figure slowly stepped into the chambers. It was a woman in a long black coat and sunglasses. No one had any idea who she was or why she was there. She simply looked around the room and then handed a thick stack of papers to the Clerk of the Board.

The woman spoke in a low voice. “I’m here to provide additional information that was not included in the Action Summary of the 10th of January,” she said.

The Board of Supervisors was in awe. Who was this woman, and how did she know about their meeting?

The woman proceeded to explain that she was a private investigator hired to uncover a financial scandal involving the County of Humboldt. She had uncovered evidence that had been left out of the Action Summary and presented it to the Board.

The Board of Supervisors was shocked. They quickly reviewed the documents, and after a brief discussion, approved the Action Summary and authorized the Clerk of the Board and the Board Chair to sign the minute book in accordance with California Governmental Code Section 25103.

The woman in the black coat simply nodded and then silently exited the chambers. No one knew who she was, or where she had come from. All they knew was that because of her, the truth had been revealed.

Once upon a time, there was a small town nestled in the hills of Humboldt County. Life was peaceful and tranquil, until one day, when a massive earthquake shook the town to its core. The quake caused untold damage and destruction, leaving the town in ruins.

The townspeople were devastated and desperate for help. The county government stepped in to help the town recover, but they needed more help to rebuild and restore the town.

That’s when Habitat for Humanity Yuba/Sutter, Inc. stepped in. After a meeting with the Board of Supervisors, they agreed to exchange and share information in order to explore and potentially facilitate an ongoing relationship related to disaster recovery.

The county provided funding from the General Fund, Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund, and the California Department of Housing and Community Development. In addition, Habitat for Humanity was able to secure philanthropic donations from the Office of the Governor Gavin Newsom and Humboldt Area Foundation.

With the help of the county and Habitat for Humanity, the town was able to rebuild and restore the damage caused by the earthquake. The townspeople were grateful for the help they received and were able to return to their homes and start anew.

And from that day forward, the townspeople of Humboldt County would never forget the kindness and generosity of their government and Habitat for Humanity, who helped them rebuild their lives during a time of need.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise was on a mission to explore new worlds and seek out new life. He was on the bridge when the viewscreen suddenly lit up with a transmission from Humboldt County.

The captain heard a voice coming through the transmission, “Greetings, Captain Picard. This is the Board of Supervisors of Humboldt County. We have an urgent request for you to assist us in a time of need.”

The captain asked what the request was. The voice replied, “We are in need of two highly-skilled specialists to assist in the implementation of the Future of Public Health initiative. We need a Senior Health Education Specialist and a Health Education Specialist I/II to help support our local public health infrastructure. This is a matter of utmost importance to us and we are willing to offer generous compensation for your help.”

The captain looked around the bridge and noticed that most of his crew were on shore leave. He knew that this was an opportunity to help a community in need and he was eager to take on the challenge.

He accepted the request and soon the crew of the USS Enterprise were beaming down to Humboldt County. They were greeted by a crowd of people who were thankful for their assistance.

The crew quickly got to work, training and mentoring the local public health staff. They worked diligently and soon the Future of Public Health initiative was a success.

The people of Humboldt County were forever grateful to the crew of the USS Enterprise for their help in improving their local public health infrastructure. Captain Picard and his crew were glad to have been able to help and they continued on their mission, knowing that they had made a positive impact.

It was a cold winter morning in the County of Humboldt. The Board of Supervisors was meeting to discuss the approval and authorization of a software license and support services agreement with JUMP Technology Services, LLC regarding the provision, support and maintenance of an electronic case management system.

The chairman of the board, Mr. Johnson, began the meeting by introducing the subject of the software license. He explained that the software was necessary for the Department of Health and Human Services – Behavioral Health’s Older Adults program to continue managing case and registry data supporting Adult Protective Services, HomeSafe, In-Home Supportive Services (“IHSS”) Registry and provider portal, including, without limitation, Structured Decision-Making (“SDM”) methodologies.

After the explanation, Mr. Johnson asked for a motion to approve the software license and support services agreement. All board members raised their hands in agreement, and the motion was passed.

The next order of business was to authorize the Department of Health and Human Services – Behavioral Health Director, or a designee thereof, to execute any and all subsequent amendments to the software license and support services agreement with JUMP Technology Services, LLC, after review and approval by County Counsel, Risk Management and the County Administrative Office. The board members unanimously agreed, and the motion passed.

The final order of business was to direct the Clerk of the Board to return one (1) fully executed copy of the software license and support services agreement to the Department of Health and Human Services – Contract Unit for further processing. Once again, the board members unanimously agreed, and the motion passed.

After the meeting was adjourned, the board members began to disperse. However, one of the members, Mr. White, began to feel uneasy. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was not quite right. He remembered reading a passage in the paperwork that had been presented at the meeting, something about the software being used for some kind of experimental technology. He couldn’t remember what it was called, but he knew it was something that he should look into.

Mr. White decided to investigate the matter further, and he soon discovered that the software license and support services agreement with JUMP Technology Services, LLC was for the provision, support and maintenance of an artificial intelligence system. He couldn’t believe what he had read, and he knew he had to do something to stop it.

He quickly alerted the other board members, and they

Maurice Purify was an ambitious young man growing up in Humboldt County. He was raised on a small farm by his parents, who had always encouraged him to pursue a career in law enforcement. After graduating from high school, he applied to the local police academy and was accepted. During his time at the academy, he became interested in working with juveniles. After graduating from the academy, Maurice was hired as a Juvenile Corrections Officer at the county’s Juvenile Hall.

Maurice quickly gained the respect of the inmates and staff alike, and in his first year was awarded extra help hours. He was known for his dedication and commitment to the job, and developed a reputation as one of the most reliable officers in the facility. As his hours increased, he was frequently called upon to fill in for absent staff, and eventually he was given an extension of extra help hours to 1920.

Maurice was grateful for the extra help hours, as it allowed him to gain more experience and learn more about the juvenile justice system. He was also able to save up some money, which he used to put himself through college. After earning his degree, Maurice was promoted to a full-time position with the county.

Maurice has now been working with the county for over ten years. He is still passionate about his work and continues to make a positive impact in the lives of the juveniles he works with. He is now the supervisor of the juvenile workshift, and his hard work and dedication have made him a respected figure among the staff and inmates alike. Maurice looks forward to the future, knowing that his hard work has paid off, and that his efforts have made a difference in the lives of many juveniles.

My beloved congregation,

Today I come to you with a message of hope and gratitude. We are gathered here to discuss the acceptance of partial payments for the back log of Measure S taxes. It is a topic that has been a source of discussion, debate, and ultimately, a decision that will affect many of our community members.

In 2016, the Cannabis Cultivation Excise Tax was brought forward to the local voters, and it was passed. This required permitted cultivators to pay a Measure S tax for each year of cultivation. After several board meetings, our county elected to temporarily reduce cannabis excise taxes for Tax year 2022 by 85%. This allowed cultivators to pay their backlog taxes for the next two years.

The Treasurer -Tax Collector’s office will also allow any tax amount to be paid at any time to collect past due cultivation taxes. This flexible payment option will assist in all cultivation taxes to be brought current.

We are presented with an opportunity to help our fellow community members and to be an example of generosity and compassion. It is important for us to remember that those who are struggling to pay their taxes are just like us. They are our family, our friends, our neighbors. We should do all we can to help them out of their situation.

My dear friends, let us not only be a people of generosity, but of gratitude as well. The county has given us an opportunity to show our community what it truly means to be a part of the county of Humboldt. Our actions today will be seen as an example of how to come together as one and offer aid to those in need.

As we move forward, let us remember to be a people of hope, love, and compassion. The county of Humboldt needs us to come together and to be a living example of what it means to be a part of our community. We are all connected, and when one of us struggles, we all do. Let us come together and lift each other up.

Let us move forward with a spirit of generosity, gratitude, and hope.

Amen.
