Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Humboldt County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Health care funds transfer and nursing care contract
A $5.09 million contract with Windsor Sacramento Estates will fund long-term residential mental health treatment for adults with severe mental illness through mid-2029.
Cannabis water-use standards
Commissioner Levy flagged a broader worry: wells are declared 'hydrologically disconnected' based on geology, but nobody checks whether a well has already been over-pumped. She asked the county to consider requiring that analysis in future reviews.
Rural broadband expansion
All the planned middle-mile fiber routes are now built or funded, and a $1 million USDA grant is paying for shovel-ready plans in 23 small communities from Petrolia to Willow Creek — the groundwork needed to win future construction grants.
