BY ROGER GITLIN Country Media, Inc.

The Crescent City Council acted expediently and decisively at Monday’s meeting when it unanimously ratiﬁed and passed several items relating to the Pebble Beach Stabilization Emergency.

• The Council unanimously reafﬁrmed the need to declare an emergency for the continuous slide activity between 7th and 8th Streets along Pebble Beach Drive.

• The Council ratiﬁed and executed the Emergency Force Account (EFA) between the City and Tidewater Contractors for construction of a temporary restoration of Pebble Beach Drive.

• Ratiﬁed an Agreement between the City and COWI Engineering for a feasibility study for the temporary and permanent restoration projects.

• Approved two Resolutions establishing A New Fund for the Pebble Beach Drive Bank Stabilization Project and the amending of the 2024/24 City Budget.

Ofﬁcer Commended by Crescent City Police Chief

Prompted by an email commending Ofﬁcer Magnolia Valero’s efforts in arresting a potential fraudster attempting to victimize an elderly Crescent City resident, Coast Central Credit Union manager Robert Machado appeared before councilors to personally thank the CCPD for its excellent work in stopping the fraud crime in progress. “We caught the

Pay Raise and Incentive Bonus for Harbormaster

BY ROGER GITLIN

Country Media, Inc.

Despite shouldering an enormous near- $800,000 annual debt payments for the next decade, Harbor commissioners voted unanimously to give Harbormaster Tim Petrick a three percent raise and a cost of living adjustment raise of just over four percent. The total increase package is 7.2 percent. With ardent ﬁnancial watchdog commissioner Brian Stone absent from Tuesday’s meeting, commissioners Wes White and Gerhard Weber joined commissioners/ secretary Rick Shepherd

and president Harry Adams in approving the increase in base salary and incentive. Petrick’s annual remuneration increased from $125,000 to a little over $134,000 per annum. The increase was amended from six percent to three percent after the Commission tabled the item at the previous harbor meeting. Petrick holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Maritime Transportation. Constituent Linda Sutter raised objection to the Petrick raise, citing irregularities and allegations of improper use of the

bad guy thanks to (Officer Valero) the Police Force.” According to Machado, Officer Valero was on patrol July 12 when she learned the suspect was back at the Credit Union attempting to change the potential victim’s accounts to his. The incident was thwarted when Officer Valero expediently responded and appeared at the Union office.

Seeking no additional recognition, Valero was presented with the Chief’s Certiﬁcate of Commendation and deep appreciation from the community. CCPD Ofﬁcer Magnolia Valero responded, “ I was just doing my job.” …And a job well done.

Officer Valero commended by Chief Richard Griffin

In a recent article about the horrific accident on July 4th at South Beach in Del Norte County, the story quoted Del Norte County Sheriff as stating that the State Parks Dept. owns 90 percent of the beaches. To clarify, the State Parks do not have any jurisdiction over South Beach according to a spokesperson with the state parks. The Del Norte Triplicate is happy to set the record straight.

Del Norte County: What is a Vital Service?

sAmueL sTRAIT Crescent City

Even though I write this commentary thousands of miles from Del Norte, I continue to have keen interest in just exactly how Del Norte County spends its revenue. The current projected budget is $182 million, a decline of $29 million from the last 2023/24 budget. While in the remaining days of the process, it will no doubt increase the dollar amount somewhat, in final form by

October 1, a full quarter has elapsed through the current budget cycle.

August will be the time of “budget workshops” that have already begun, to shape this final version as well as providing some avenue for the public to have a shot at injecting some of their own ideas into the mix.

These ideas will likely be ignored, the unwashed after all, but the concept of transparency is the object of the workshop “show” and not in anyway

to determine what in the budget is truly worthy of the expenditure of taxpayer dollar, or what is being left out.

Over the course of the next budget cycle 2024/25 how exactly the County spends the money will vary due to “unexpected needs” will no doubt magically appear to satisfy the “critical need” that nobody really cares about or needs. How does money in various department budgets get spent when employee vacancies exist? Transfer it

elsewhere? For what, who knows? While the general framework might be kept, the actual expenditures what the bureaucracy desires to spend at any given moment.

Currently, the County is sitting on $3.7 million of Measure R funds that were advertised to be spent on supporting “vital” public services. It would seem to any reasonable person, “vital” would indicate some form of urgency.

Why is Del Norte sitting on $3.7 million of our

money?

Why have two the paving of parking lots and fencing for Pyke’s Field rise to the level of “supporting vital services?

Unfortunately, there is little concern by most County residents how local elected spend our money. Too often, funds are allocated on services and employees which do very little to ensure any beneficial result to the local community. As government programs and employees increase, so do

the number of folks mired in dependency. While this year’s budget may show signs of retreat, one must seriously question why there was a need for the $29 million in the previous year’s budget.

WHY AM I RECEIVING THIS NOTICE?

On August 1, 2024, Pacific Power filed an application with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) requesting an overall increase to electric rates. This application addressed the Energy Cost Adjustment Clause (ECAC), greenhouse gas (GHG) allowance costs, and the California Climate Credit. If this application is approved, this would result in a rate increase of $8.7 million or 6.0%, effective January 1, 2025. This will impact your monthly bill.

WHY IS PACIFIC POWER REQUESTING THIS RATE INCREASE?

• Annually, Pacific Power compares actual and forecast costs of providing electricity to customers (ECAC rate) and the costs of purchasing GHG allowances to comply with the California Cap and Trade program.

• The ECAC rate allows Pacific Power to recover costs related to producing electricity such as fuel expenses, power purchased from third parties, and energy transmission expenses. This application requests an ECAC rate increase of $7.0 million due to power costs being more than the amount of revenue collected in current rates to cover those costs.

• The GHG rate allows Pacific Power the opportunity to recover costs related to purchasing allowances to comply with the state’s Cap and Trade program. This application requests a GHG rate increase of $1.7 million due to actual allowance costs being higher than previously forecasted.

• This application also requests approval for Pacific Power customers to receive the California Climate Credit on their bills, resulting from the sale of greenhouse gas allowances. If approved, residential and small business customers will receive a credit of $259.36, in April and October 2025. This application will be reviewed by the CPUC to determine if the costs are reasonable and eligible for recovery from customers before any rate increase is potentially approved.

HOW COULD THIS AFFECT MY MONTHLY ELECTRIC RATES?

If Pacific Power’s rate request is approved by the CPUC, the average residential monthly bill using 850 kWh per month would increase by approximately $10.01 or 5.6% per month in 2025. A summary of the estimated rate impact is provided below. This table does not include the Climate Credit which will be provided to customers.

Work on the Dr. Fine Bridge over the Smith River continues on schedule. 101 trafﬁc continues north and south on the temporary bridge. Speed limit is 25 mph. The Bridge is undergoing demolition to allow construction of a new bridge. This past June, in-water work began in-

cluding pile driving which may be loud. The noise work will be conducted during daylight hours with night shifts for beam placement. The season’s in-water phase should be completed in October. Demolition should be completed by year’s end. Barring unforeseen circumstances, construc-

tion of the new bridge will be complete by the end of 2025.

The old structure, dating back to 1940, was approaching the end of its useful life. The new bridge will better accommodate vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists, enhancing overall safety and efﬁciency.

HOW DOES THE REST OF THIS PROCESS WORK?

This application will be assigned to a CPUC Administrative Law Judge who will consider proposals and evidence presented during the formal hearing process.

The Administrative Law Judge will issue a proposed decision that may adopt Pacific Power’s application, modify it, or deny it. Any CPUC Commissioner may sponsor an alternate decision with a different outcome. The proposed decision, and any alternate decisions, will be discussed and voted upon by the CPUC Commissioners at a public CPUC Voting Meeting.

Parties to the proceeding may review Pacific Power’s application, including the Public Advocates Office. The Public Advocates Office is an independent consumer advocate within the CPUC that represents customers to obtain the lowest possible rate for service consistent with reliable and safe service levels. For more information about the Public Advocates Office, please call 1-415-703-1584, email PublicAdvocatesOffice@cpuc.ca.gov, or visit PublicAdvocates.cpuc.ca.gov

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

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

The petition for probate requests that: Kimble Darlington and Sidney Darlington, Jr. be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. 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: September 20, 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.

Most Affordable Coastal County

by MArc sternFieLD

Living near California’s beautiful coastline is simply too far out of reach for most homebuyers.

According to January 2024 data from the Califonia Association of Realtors (CAR), the median single-family home price is over $1 million in the San Francisco Bay Area, Santa Barbara County, Santa Cruz County and Orange County, and just shy of a million bucks in San Diego. However, home prices in one of the Golden State’s most beautiful coastal counties is still surprisingly cheap by comparison.

The sand, surf and sunsets often come at a steep cost with home prices soaring into the seven digits in many communities.

Nestled at the very top of California is the appropriately named Del Norte County where the median price of a home is just $295,000, second lowest in the State behind (inland) Lassen County ($229,000).

Tourism officials tout Del Norte County’s towering redwoods, rugged seaside cliffs, picturesque lighthouses and endless adventures in hiking, camping and whitewater rafting.

The message on its marketing website is that “(This) is a place for spirited independence where we encourage entertaining yourself and getting lost in wonder as part of the journey.”

The coastal, yet rural lifestyle might not be for everyone. The county has just one incorporated City, Crescent City, where you can find homes just blocks from the ocean in the $200,000-$300,000 range, according to Zillow.

The “Living Wage” needed to support a family of four in Del Norte County is $39.47 per hour, or $82,097 per year based on MIT’s calculations, far less than it’s Coastal counterparts to the south.

For comparison, in Santa Barbara County, where the median home price is $1.28 million, the living wage of a family of four us $54.08 per hour, or $112,486 per year. In Santa Cruz County, it’s $64.15 per hour ($133,432/ year).
