Humboldt County Board of Supervisors

The board meets with roll call, flag salute and modifications to the agenda before a consent calendar that includes a $63,894.31 cooperative agreement with the state for the Sudden Oak Mortality regulatory program, a certificate of recognition for Interim Auditor-Controller Mychal Evenson and the Auditor-Controller's Office for earning the County Financial Transactions Reporting Award, a proclamation of Veterans Day along with participation in Operation Green Light for Veterans, approval of the October 27 action summary, and a subrecipient agreement with the Sierra Health Foundation worth up to $430,582.16 to implement Proposition 36 behavioral health requirements with a $179,255 supplemental budget. Public Works also seeks $288,834 from the Deferred Maintenance Fund for courthouse elevator planning, parking lot light pole replacement, flooring and asbestos repairs, a leaking water line and wastewater and water system work at Big Lagoon and Mad River County Parks, and the Sheriff's Office requests a $126,403 standard agreement with SJX Jet Boats for a 21-foot tunnel-hull jet boat and trailer for river patrol and rescue. Departmental reports cover at-large appointments to the Resource Conservation District Board, and matters initiated by the board include a proposal to spend about $10,000 a year expanding access to low-cost spay and neuter services. Closed session items cover labor negotiations and two potential litigation matters.
