Supervisors conduct Strategic Plan Workshop

BY ROGER GITLIN Country Media, Inc.

Board will discuss Vision, Mission and Goals at March 12 meeting

What is a Strategic Plan? Assistant County Administrative Officer Randy Hooper is the point person working with consultant Don Ashton of Municipal Resource Group to help develop a Strategic Plan. The Board is working with this duo, employees, department heads, stakeholders and the public to establish the vision for Del Norte’s future. The Strategic Plan is the tool to give Del Norte the direction to follow.

The Del Norte Board of Supervisiors heard from the public at a Special Meeting to conduct a workshop for developing a Strategic Plan. All supervisors were in attendance.

Board Chair Dean Wilson opened the meeting, welcoming the public and advised all time limits would be waived for the workshop meeting. Wilson stated government is designed and departments focus is internal.

Because of this dynamic, Wilson stated Del Norte County lacks an overall vision. “ In this design, the county for too long has been a rudderless ship. This planning workshop is the beginning of a process to put a rudder on (Del Norte County) our ship.” With that pronouncement, Wilson welcomed Don Ashton, Lead Consultant for Municipal Resource Group (MRG). Ashton has a formidable resume, serving as Chief Administrative Officer for El Dorado County for seven years, Director of El Dorado Health and Human Services for three years. His public sector experience includes various executive-level leadership positions as well as leadership positions in public safety finance, general government and health and Human Services in El Dorado and Los Angeles counties. Ashton is credited with implementing the first Strategic Plan for Health and Human Services in El Dorado County.

GUEST COLUMNS

IN MY VIEW: Local offshore wind workshop

On Saturday March 2, I attended a local workshop with a panel of experts on offshore wind development. Over 100 people attended including Supervisors Valerie Starkey, Chris Howard, Darren Short and Joey Borges.

A group of citizens interested in developing energy resiliency in our county spearheaded this effort. This interest was sparked by the wildfire induced blackouts last August when we all became aware of our vulnerability to power outages because we only have one power line coming into our community.

The goal of this workshop was to provide unbiased information about offshore wind. The panel included a spectrum of presenters from government agencies, a university, an environmental group, a fishermen’s association, and a wind development company.

Crescent City Harbor

The lead speaker was Wes White, Harbor Commissioner and Tri-Agency board member. He was not speaking for these agencies but shared personal opinions. White is neither pro nor con but has followed offshore wind for seven years because he sees economic development potential. He said our harbor could provide operations and maintenance support for offshore wind platforms.

White also shared specific concerns he has heard from fisherfolk. They want to continue their way of life and are concerned about increased vessel traffic, relocation of fishing boats from other harbors and snagging their gear on underwater power cables. These are all reasonable concerns.

It is not as helpful to simply say we are against offshore wind because of the impact on fishing. When we identify specific issues and concerns, then we can ask that these be addressed in the planning phase. Offshore wind is already happening in Humboldt and may be here next. We should stay informed and be ready for this.

Humboldt Harbor

Rob Holmlund, Development Director for the Humboldt Bay Harbor District spoke about the economic opportunity that the harbor district has realized as a port selected to assemble floating offshore wind turbines. There are only two harbors in California suitable for this purpose, Long Beach and Humboldt.

The components are so large that they must be built near a port and barged in to be assembled. The floating platforms are 350’ to 450’ across, larger than a city block. Each blade is over 300’ feet long. Once assembled each platform

will be dragged out for anchoring offshore Morro Bay or Humboldt and Del Norte in the future.

The assembled platforms are so tall that there are few ports that have the overhead clearance to move them out of the harbor. It is not possible to assemble these in the San Francisco Bay because there is no way that the assembled platforms will fit under the Golden Gate Bridge, yet they will barely be visible 20 miles from shore.

UC Davis Extension

Keith Taylor and Alec Dompka, economic development advisors from

UC Davis Cooperative Extension zeroed in on how to harness the economic development potential of offshore wind. There will be short term jobs during the construction phase, but also long-term employment with operations and maintenance enterprises.

They emphasized the need to plan now for workforce training to help local workers qualify for these jobs. There will be work for welders, machinists, vessel and machine mechanics and marine operators. These jobs will require at least a two-year technical degree or an apprenticeship with a trade union.

They spoke about the importance of understanding how community benefit agreements work

and recommended that we must fight for every dollar and benefit. Their advice was to speak with other communities and experts that have successfully navigated these waters to learn from their experience.

Minimize Impacts A fisheries scientist representing one of the Humboldt lease holders, Vinyard Offshore, spoke about the outreach that they will conduct to help identify what species should be studied as they prepare their operations plans. They have pledged to work with the fishing industry to minimize impacts on fishing.

It was great to have the Director of the Environmental Protection Information Center on the panel. This local group is evaluating all the potential impacts of offshore wind, including bird collisions, effects on marine life from noise, electromagnetic fields near power cables and possible reduction of upwelling from reduced wind.

There are many uncertainties about the potential impacts from floating offshore wind platforms. These are different from existing wind platforms which are nearshore, in shallow water and fixed to the ocean floor. Some information can be extrapolated but most impacts must be studied as a new development.

Resilient Fishermen

The Director of the California Fishermen’s Resiliency Association (CFRA) spoke about the new non-profit group that was formed in 2022 involving 13 different fishermen’s associations to be the lead negotiator on behalf of fishing interests related to the potential impacts of offshore wind (OSW).

The California Coastal Commission requires as a condition for permitting, that “fishermen, OSW developers and state and federal agencies will need to work collaboratively towards a common strategy to avoid, minimize, and mitigate impacts to the fishing industry in a consistent and equitable manner”.

The California Fishermen’s Resiliency Association has three goals, 1) avoid impacts on fishing grounds and in harbor areas whenever possible, 2) minimize impacts and implement real-time impact adaptive management, and 3) mitigate impacts that can’t be avoided or minimized.

The Big BOEM

The final speaker was from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) which is responsible for evaluating and permitting offshore wind projects between 3 and 200 nautical miles off the coast. This process com-

pletes hundreds of ocean surveys to identify the least impactful locations for offshore wind.

When offshore leases are approved, communities are eligible for bidding credits, equal to 30 percent of the lease sale. With an average lease sale of $150 million, this means about $45 million per lease will be set aside for local workforce training, mitigation, and other community benefits.

There are currently no plans for a lease sale off Del Norte County but there is a potential lease area identified in the offshore wind plan that the California Energy Commission is developing. If there is a lease sale offshore of our community, we need to be organized and prepared to engage in negotiations. Who will lead this?

Ropeless Fishing Gear for California

Crab Will Expand This Spring

as numbers remain high despite new measures designed to reduce harm and injury to wildlife. Ropeless gear allows for crab fishing without the threat of entanglement. Initial tests of ropeless gear have been ongoing since 2018, but until recently, few fishermen had been interested in using ropeless gear. Recent years have seen crab fishing closed on some or all of the California coast during conventional fishing months to prevent entanglements. This year’s season was delayed but is currently open coastwide with a 50% gear reduction in certain areas and a fleet advisory for the entire coast.Today’s unanimous vote supports expansion of a ropeless fishing gear library making gear available for testing. Once the funds are available, up to $250,000 will go to purchase Sub Sea Sonics and Guardian Ropeless System gear to be added to the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation’s

gear library for use and testing. This investment comes at a critical time to help support the current 20 Dungeness crab fishermen that have received approval to participate in a government-approved test of the gear this spring when areas are closed to conventional crab fishing gear. If the gear proves successful, it could be authorized as soon as next year for use by all California commercial Dungeness crab fishermen, providing an opportunity to continue fishing in the springtime when areas are closed to conventional gear.“Ropeless gear is part of California’s crab fishing future, one where consumers can know they’re enjoying ‘whale-safe crab’ and fishermen can catch crab more often and with far less risk to ocean wildlife,” said Geoff Shester, Oceana’s California campaign director and senior scientist and a member of the California Dungeness Crab Fishing Gear Working Group. “The investments approved today support a sea change in fishermen’s interest in using ropeless gear and state support for testing it. We hope to see the gear fully authorized next year, so that all crab fishermen have the option to continue fishing in the spring months when the fishery would otherwise be closed. We commend the Ocean Protection Council for supporting

fishing practices that ensure whales and sea turtles can safely feed and migrate off the California coast.”

“On behalf of our company and all the fishermen that have stepped forward to try out this gear, we are sincerely grateful to the Ocean Protection Council for taking this important step toward supporting the reopening of the spring Dungeness crab fishery,” said Bart Chadwick, the CEO of Sub Sea Sonics who is overseeing the testing effort and manufacturing his company’s innovative ropeless gear. “We look forward to seeing crab boats and whales in the water this spring and for many years to come.”

“Ropeless” fishing gear (also known as “pop-up” or “on-demand” gear) keeps fishing lines and buoys with traps on the seafloor until fishermen return to retrieve them. This removes vertical fishing lines spanning hundreds of feet in the water for days on end. This essentially eliminates the threat of entanglement to whales and sea turtles that visit California’s shores each year to feast on the abundant krill and forage fish found offshore. The new

gear will allow for crab fishing during spring months when whales and sea turtles are present and California’s coast is closed to conventional crab fishing to prevent entanglements. Fishermen will be allowed to attach up to 10 traps on a ground line connected to each unit of ropeless gear, improving the efficiency and economic viability of the new method.

Today’s funding for ropeless gear was part of a $1,825,000 package that also included funding to support whale disentanglement response efforts, develop a system for tracking and enforcement of ropeless gear, and to purchase new uniquely marked fishing gear so that California Dungeness crab fishing gear can be distinguished from other trap fisheries.

For more information on ropeless gear please see Oceana’s report Pathway to Pop-up Fishing Gear.

Do you ever wonder how much rainfall you received from a recent thunderstorm? How about snowfall during a winter storm? If so, an important volunteer weather observing program needs your help! The Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow network, or CoCoRaHS, is looking for new volunteers across northwest California. This grassroots effort is part of a growing national network of home-based and amateur rain spotters with a goal of providing a high density precipitation network that will supplement existing observations.

CoCoRaHS came about as a result of a devastating flash flood that hit Fort Collins, Colorado, in July 1997. A local severe thunderstorm dumped over a foot of rain in several hours while other portions of the city had only modest rainfall. The ensuing flood caught many by surprise and caused $200 million in damages. CoCoRaHS was born in 1998 with the intent of doing a better job of mapping and reporting intense storms. As more volunteers participated, rain, hail, and snow maps were produced for every storm showing fascinating local patterns that were of great interest to scientists and the public. Recently, drought reporting has also become an important observation within the CoCoRaHS program across the nation. In fact, drought observations from

the shortage of well-paying jobs, payments in lieu of lost property taxes (PILT), mediocre downtown Crescent City appearance, Blight issues and abuse. Some public speakers address supervisors more than once.

The timetable for Del Norte’s Strategic Plan will be conducted and vetted before the County budget hearings by the end of April.

CoCoRaHS are now being included in the National Integrated Drought Information System.

How does one become a CoCoRaHS observer? Go to the CoCoRaHS website above and click on the “Join CoCoRaHS” emblem on the upper right side of the main website. After registering, take the simple online training, order your 4 inch rain gauge and start reporting!

To obtain a rain gauge Volunteers can order through the CoCoRaHS website (http://www.cocorahs.org) for about $35 plus shipping. We do have a limited number of rain gauges to give out if you are able to be a regular observer and there is a limited number of observers currently in your area. Apply with this form.

Observations are available on maps and reports for the public to view within five minutes of submitting them. The process takes only five minutes a day, but the impact to the community is tenfold: By providing high quality, accurate measurements, the observers are able to supplement existing networks and provide useful results to scientists, resource managers, decision makers and other users.

If you have any questions, feel free to email Matthew Kidwell at the NWS in Eureka at matthew.kidwell@noaa.gov or call at 707-443-6484.

Fall-run Chinook salmon fry succumb to gas bubble disease in Klamath River

equipment documented other healthy yearling coho and Chinook salmon that came from downstream of the dam.

River above Iron Gate Dam. The fish were hatched at CDFW’s new, $35 million, stateof-the-art Fall Creek Fish Hatchery, which represents California’s long-term commitment to supporting and restoring both Chinook and coho salmon runs on an undammed Klamath River.

The salmon fry experienced a large mortality based on monitoring data downstream. Indications are the cause of mortality is gas bubble disease that likely occurred as the fry migrated though the Iron Gate Dam tunnel, old infrastructure that is targeted for removal along with the Iron Gate Dam itself later this year. Gas bubble disease results from environmental or physical trauma often associated with severe pressure change.

There is no indication the mortality is associated with other Klamath River water quality conditions such as turbidity and dissolved oxygen, which were reading at suitable levels on Feb. 26 and the days prior to release. The visual appearance of the dead fry detected by monitoring equipment points to gas bubble disease. Monitoring

The problems associated with the Iron Gate Dam tunnel are temporary and yet another sad reminder of how the Klamath River dams have harmed salmon runs for generations.

CDFW will plan all future salmon releases below Iron Gate Dam until this infrastructure is removed. Poor habitat conditions caused by the dams and other circumstances such as this are reasons why CDFW conducts releases of hatchery fish at various life stages.

CDFW’s Fall Creek Fish Hatchery continues to hold approximately 3.27 million healthy, fall-run Chinook salmon. Additional releases are planned later in the month.

The annual fall-run Chinook salmon production goal for the hatchery is to raise and release 3.25 million fish – 1.25 million released as fry, 1.75 million as smolts, and 250,000 as yearlings. The additional stock of fall-run Chinook salmon remaining in the hatchery exceeds the annual production goal and will help offset losses experienced with the initial release of fry.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Dona Miller

A Petition for Probate has been filed by: Coleen Davis, in the Superior Court of California, County of: Del Norte.

The petition for probate requests that: Coleen Davis be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, to be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This Authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows:

Date: March 29, 2024

Time: 10:00am Dept.: 2

Address of the Court: 450 H Street, Crescent City, CA 95531

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

We are sad to announce the passing of Tony (Anthony) Anaya, husband, father, grandfather and son, brother, and uncle, who was dearly loved by all. Tony was a gentle soul; a kind and generous man, who was sarcastically funny to a fault, and could read the room. He loved the great outdoors; and appreciated Mother Nature. You could find Tony fishing, tooling around in the woods, or even searching for agates at the beach. He was sometimes referred to as more Native than those he lived around. Tony was quite the artist; drawing, painting, carving, or creating. To those who knew him, he would do anything for you. He loved kids, especially his grandchildren, Chloe and Logan whom he adored.

During his battle with “the big C,” (as he referred to it), you could find him trying to make the other patients and staff laugh. It was his mission to lighten the load for all. Tony was married to Lynnette and together they raised two

beautiful daughters: Allison (Ian) and Alexis. Tony is survived by his mother, Barbara Allison, sister April Helm (Rod-Matthew and Megan and brother, Drew Anaya (Tammy-Andy and Ashley). He was preceded in death by his stepfather, Sam Allison. My brother’s passing has profoundly gravely saddened all of us, but

especially his girls. We will be forever grateful to Alexis for selflessly providing loving care for Tony during his last illness. Tony wished no services, however there will be a celebration of life sometime in the future.

Tony is off fishing somewhere free of pain with his best four-legged friend, Cheddar.
