Animal welfare oversight and Miranda's Rescue concerns

A potential ~$10,000 spay/neuter program was floated; the sheriff's and Miranda's shelters are already full.

General Plan Safety Element / Hazard Mitigation Plan update

No direct cost discussed; keeps the county in line for state and federal hazard-mitigation funding.

Regional Climate Action Plan Implementation (RCEA MOU)

About $80,933 per year from the general fund through 2030 (roughly $324,000 total), already budgeted.

Centerville Road coastal erosion and road realignment

Roughly $4-5 million in federal storm-repair money is on the line — the county will try to shift it to the inland route, and could lose it if the feds say no.

Humboldt Bay Area Plan and Local Coastal Plan update

The update is funded by a grant, and meeting the grant deadline shapes the county's timeline.

Rural Container Sites and Redway Transfer Station

Solid waste operations are self-funded through disposal fees, tipping fees and franchise fees — no general fund ask.

Proposition 45 Opposition Resolution

Symbolic — no direct county cost, though the measure could shift review costs onto counties if it passes.

Humboldt Bay Area Plan comprehensive update

The plan itself doesn't spend money, but its sea level rise and infrastructure standards will shape the cost of future public projects like trail raising and wastewater connections.

Short-term rental in tsunami hazard zone

Denials keep two homes potentially available for local residents; approvals of the nine existing rentals keep tourist income flowing in Samoa.

Indoor cannabis cultivation rules loosened for post-2016 buildings

Opens new economic opportunities for rural landowners and growers; no direct county cost identified.

Measure O road work pays off

About $60 million in total road funding next year, driven by Measure O's $7 million in matching dollars.

Redway Q Zone old-growth redwood protection

No direct county cost was cited, but denial avoids potential liability claims while residents argue the tree drives property values and tourism.

Tourism governance transition and TOT funding cliff

A 2% lodging assessment funds the district; consultant help could cost under $50,000, possibly split with HLA.

Sheriff's Office community review board

Opponents estimate $400,000-$750,000 a year for an inspector general and staff; supporters call it a small share of the Sheriff's roughly $65 million budget.

AT&T wireless facility in McKinleyville

Residents fear 10-15% drops in nearby home values; AT&T bears project costs.

McCullough Ranch timberland reclassification

About $3,200 a year in property tax comes off the rolls, partly offset by timber yield tax.

Redwood Tree Removal Moratorium (Pulled)

Removing the 60-inch retention conditions lets landowners harvest valuable timber they'd otherwise have to leave standing.

Humboldt Bay Area Plan and low-impact camping ordinance

Permits start around $365, but total setup could run tens of thousands of dollars against a few thousand a year in camping income.

Housing Element progress and state mandates

Fee amounts aren't set yet — builders warn every dollar added to a permit makes housing projects pencil out less often.

Domestic violence services and awareness

Program is grant- and donation-supported; supervisors acknowledged funding pressures.
