Questions Linger Over Credit Card Use in the Harbor

City Introduces Pump Track Ordinance

BY ROGER GITLIN Country Media, Inc.

City and Contractor call the Pump Track an Awesome Addition to the City The Crescent City Council introduced Ordinance 844, Establishing Rules for the Pump Track at Beachfront Park.

The City contracted for the construction of a pump track which can be utilized by persons riding any type of non-motorized recreational wheeled device (bicycles, skateboards, skates, scooters).

The Track is a closed-circuit loop consisting of rollers and

banked turns which when ridden correctly, does not require peddling or other self-propulsion.

Crescent City Counsel Martha Rice delivered the details of the recommended ordinance. The primary purpose of the proposed Ordinance is to limit City liability; the secondary goal of the pump track is to promote a thriving economy.

Health and Safety Code limits the liability of public agencies that requires riders to wear helmets, elbow and knee pads and the prominent posting of signage notifying of the requirement. Violators will be subject to

It’s certainly not business as usual at the Crescent City Harbor District, these days. Massive Harbor debt for the next decade should raise lots of red ﬂags to pull in the belt buckle a notch or two. Apparently, this belt tightening wisdom is not reaching some commissioners including the harbormaster.

Following a Del Norte Grand Jury Report of an isolated misuse of the Agency credit card in 2021, questions continue to linger over alleged dubious use of credit card and other imprudent ﬁnancial authorizations and possible misuse of public funds by Harbormaster Tim Petrick. Last year, a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) was sought by the Harbormaster against a Bayshore RV resident who shall remain an anonymous John Doe, over a long-standing multi-year feud between tenant Doe and the harbormaster in 2023. The questionable statement involved the quote, “I’m going

The Crescent City Harbor District (CCHD) called a Special Meeting, Thursday, September 5 to discuss direction of a proposed Ordinance prohibiting all ﬁreworks in the marina basin.

Commissioners heeded the advice of the CCHD Ad Hoc Committee in directing the harbormaster to draft an Ordinance banning all Fireworks, including Safe’n Sane Fireworks from the entire Harbor, north of Anchor Way. Discussion to include South Beach enforcement excluded.

The vote to ban the entire menu of legal ﬁre-

works was directed to protect moored vessels. The vote was unanimous.

In other business, the CCHD voted to join the City and County in dissolving the Tri-Agency Economic Authority and agreeing to equally divide the debt of approximately $10,000-$15 000 in mostly unpaid legal fees.

Finally, a Closed Session item regarding a pending legal action for enforcement of the California Public Records Act involving CCHD receipts was held, with no public announcement made.

Recognize Harbor Problems and Fix Them If We Can

by miChael sayre Crescent City

With the upcoming elections and the existing total fiscal failure, the harbor ‘s future is an active topic. Some of the solutions require major improvements in the city, and ongoing success of the Native American business. However, the Harbor individually faces major problems. Every fishery is either depleted or failing. Catch improvements must involve the entire West Coast. Isolated local catch restitution will not be enough. Even income from sport fishing is at risk because of increasing species closures and reduced bag limits.

Then, there is the matter that the harbor is NOT a natural flushing bay. Dredging is required inside this man-made breakwater. A massive amount of sand is now inside the harbor. Usable harbor areas are decreasing and becoming tide dependent. Dredging has been delayed so long the problem is now an insurmountable fiscal hurdle for an organization with empty bank accounts. Obviously, failed sources of income need to be replaced with new entities. Increased income cannot come only from local consumers. We are past car washes and pasta dinners. These monies cannot be onetime grants. Ongoing profitable

new ventures are essential. Let me rule out a current suggestion. Yacht clubs are more than expensive visiting boats. They are local social entertainment venues for a local elite. They are (and should be) self-financed and organized. Unfortunately, there are few residents that would meet the criteria or interest. Additionally, successful yacht clubs involve multiple types of boats beyond small, trailered motorboats and large docked vessels. Currently no fixed keel sailboat can be launched locally. I defy any but the best sailor to sail a trailered sailboat (larger than a pram) out of the current launching area. Rebuilding the current trailered

launch area would be a budget buster. This harbor was built only for only two types of boats: not the diverse boating of a yacht club. The simple truth is we have great competition and high-performance sailing water. My suggestion is the creation of a profitable sailing center for events and individual use. We could create a new income-generating activity. For budget reasons, existing resources need to be re-allocated.

Portions of Citizens’ Dock and/or the processing plant docks need to become boat hoisting stations with nearby rigging areas. A heavy lift hoist would need to be on a pier in water deep enough

for a keel boat, trailer access and no overhanging wires. Floating docks attached to the hoist pier would suffice for the other criteria. The current empty RV parking could become event camping, and food truck parking for visiting boaters.

Then, with these changes in place, the harbor could reach out to sailing clubs, one-design boat organizations, publications, and racing organizations. With low cost directed contact, we could become the site for multiple events per year. We could become a hot spot for regional regattas and sailing vacations.

911 Dispatch: The Sheriff Is Unavailable For Emergencies at this Time. Please Call Back Later

by samuel strait

Don’t be surprised when you make an emergency 911 call and hear the following:

“ The Sheriff is unavailable for emergencies at this time. Please call back later.”

I have recently had the time to view the Board of Supervisors eleventh-hour video window for the Public into the County’s 2024-2025 annual budget. My view: it was a pointless waste of taxpayer resources, poorly attended by the Public and exposes the

invasive nature of a growing local government that is ill- equipped to address the most critical need that residents have needed for decades: An effective Del Norte County Sheriff. It is beyond comprehension that the collective, cognitive abilities of

the five members of the Board do not recognize the severity of the ineffectiveness of the local Sheriff’s department to provide the most basic of public safety throughout the county. It is even more egregious when the Sheriff, in a Public Forum, lays out a clearly worded prescription on how to address the problem and the Board behaves as if he were speaking in a foreign tongue. While the problem has been an issue for years, no effort by the current Board to offer even the slightest assistance has come about, nor do I expect anything in the future. The much- talked about Measure R which was widely advertised to correct deficiencies in such vital services has failed to materialize. The Board’s financial contributions to augment pay, morale and equipment issues seem paltry to the extent that Scrooge’s behavior seems

generous in the extreme.

A recent example of the Sheriff’s Office’s inability to provide 911 emergency assistance at a deadly confrontation in a timely manner would have been 59 minutes and 59 seconds too late. A neighbor’s wife was confronted by a homeless individual waving a hatchet under her nose, threatening to shoot her and her dog unless she produced the miscreant’s imaginary cow. Fortunately for her, a neighbor heard the altercation and defused the situation.

This was not a one-time event in our neighborhood and it is likely to repeat throughout the County. What is truly preposterous is that the woman could have called our recently hired Measure R building inspector for a nail inspection and may have received service before the deputy arrived or had the plans approved by a recent Measure R hire in Planning

for an Acessory Domicle Unit (ADU) before the same occurred. While focusing on growing local government for ridiculously inappropriate employee hires and valueless services, our local Board seems oblivious to the nature of what supervisors and are meant to be doing. The functionality of the Sheriff’s office should be the ultimate of services that the Board of Supervisors should get right. There is no excuse for the Board’s dereliction by not taking steps to immediately correct this colossal failure on its part. Unfortunately, I do not see the will on the part of this Board to move forward in any substantive way. Supervisors must adhere to Sheriff’s needs to increase compensation for all law enforcement personel. Sam Strait oCrescent City

The Pump Track Ordinance is a “hazardous recreational activity.”

Upon adopting the Ordinance, the City’s liability will be limited to its duty to maintain the track in a safe condition. Liability is limited to injuries or damages for using the track for its intended purpose. Children under the age of 12 must be supervised by an adult.

to get you,” uttered by the John Doe toward the oftstrong armed harbormaster. It should be duly noted there was never any physical contact or violence between the pair, just an angry exchange of words resulting in a frustrated hissyﬁt by the tenant.

Not according to the harbormaster.

Petrick responded with an order to have the CCHD attorney, Kyler Raden whose office is in Sacramento, fly to Arcata, rent a vehicle, reside in a local hotel for two nights, have meals and file an appearance in Superior Court to effectuate the TRO. Of course, attorneys do not work for free.

The charge for the going rate of attorney’s fees is several hundred dollars per hour. The matter required a continuance for another hearing and decision when the request for the TRO was suddenly withdrawn

Councilors voted unanimously to introduce the ﬁrst reading

The City will post the 12 rules for Pump Track participation, 30 days after the Council approves the Final Reading at its October 7 meeting.

The Ofﬁcial Grand Opening of the Pump Station may be postponed from September 21, pending the contractor adding

legal expenses between $6000-$7500; another burden put upon the beleaguered taxpayer on an already ﬁnancially-strapped Harbor District.

The Harbor remains mired in massive debt of $793,000 of annual debt caused by the Fashion Blacksmith lawsuit decision and Dept. of Agriculture loan to repair the Harbor following the last Tsunami event.

The payment of that indebtedness will ensue for the next nine years.

Harbor candidate and paralegal Linda Sutter attempted to obtain copies of receipts for calendar year 2024 and was confronted with significant resistance from the Harbormaster at an August 22 meeting at the Harbor office. Ms. Sutter has filed a Court action for all receipts and verifiable documentation as legitimate Harbor business.

Harbor counsel Ruben Duran of Best, Best and Krieger law ﬁrm provid-

approximately $23,000 in artiﬁcial turf, landscape and sculpture improvements to the $575,000 contract.

The total cost of the Pump Track is just under $600,000.

According to the contractor, small angle adjustments on the track and foundational rock landscaping will improve the ride and ensure longer life for the asphalt track.

necessary redact exempt information.” Duran underscored the District’s commitment for full compliance with the CPRA.

One might conclude the list for justification of these expenses shows indifference to the current financial quandary the CCHD in which finds itself mired in. Questions continue to fester.

The CPRA request mandates release of all public documents. Ms. Sutter alleges some document receipts remain undisclosed. Petitioner Sutter alleges an undisclosed receipt for air tickets for Petrick and his wife on the CCHD credit card. Other reported questionable receipts, many small, reveal $127 for a round of golf, $362 purchase of golf balls, a seemingly endless list of door dash food deliveries, promotional gift cards for employees and attendees who attended a recent conference and much more on the list of items listed

a critic; he and other commissioners were left in the dark on many of these ﬁnancial issues. Weber speciﬁcally highlighted the recent Harbormaster’s Annual Meeting in Monterey. Weber was not advised the Crescent City Harbor District was a sponsoring participant of this event which included additional costs for promotional activities. He cited “… the lack of sharing information about Harbor costs by some commissioners in a public venue at a Harbor meeting; nonetheless, the Commission bears responsibility in overseeing Harbormaster Petrick and we’ve not done that to my satisfaction.”

Regrettably the Harbor has yet to adopt a credit card policy; but in the absence of agency policy, California law and IRS guidelines govern spending limits on public employees, during the course of conducting

public business. The Harbormaster has far exceeded spending limits for meals and promotional outreach. Commissioners held a Closed Session item last week to discuss the latest legal action; it has not revealed the details of that Closed Session matter, to date. It is not business as usual at the Crescent City Harbor. The Harbor meets the ﬁrst and third Tuesdays monthly at 2pm at the CCHD ofﬁce on Citizens Dock Way.

Two Artists Selected for Fall Residency

Redwood National and State Parks and Redwood Parks Conservancy have selected Janine Mapurunga and Janine McGarry for the Fall 2024 Artist-in-Residence Program.

Mapurunga is a documentary photographer and ﬁlmmaker working for over 20 years in the U.S. and abroad. “I observe life unfolding and use the camera to capture what is easily felt but difﬁcult to portray- the eextraordinary experience of being alive,” said Mapurunga. Creating imagery

that conveys a sense of belonging with nature is a goal of her residency.

McGarry works primarily in watercolor with an emphasis on the natural world. “I’ve recently been experimenting with watercolor collage and assemblage and hope to use these techniques to add depth and perspective to my paintings during this residency,” said McGarry. Both artists are based in California and have extensive experiencing creating art in their respective commu-

nities.

Each artist will provide a public presentation before the end of their residency to help the next generation of artists seen the Parks from new perspectives.

During the residency, artists will have ample time to ﬁnd inspiration and opportunities to interact with Park staff and the public. The program includes housing and stipend of up to $5000 to cover logistical needs
