McKinleyville
grapples with
planning issues

McKINLEYVILLE – McKinleyville is
wrestling with how it can give residents
a voice in land use decisions, while at the
same time not creating additional expenses
and bureaucracy.
The McKinleyville Municipal Advisory
Committee (McKMAC) held an in-depth
discussion on the topic at its Aug. 29 meet-
ing, with members debating the pros and
cons of allowing the committee to weigh in
on projects such as the controversial Dol-
lar General store planned for the southwest
corner of Murray Road and McKinleyville
Avenue.
As an unincorporated community,
McKinleyville doesn’t have its own locally
controlled planning commission. It relies
on the Humboldt County Planning Com-
mission. And while the McKMAC was cre-
ated to give the town a stronger voice, it is
limited in what it is allowed to comment on
in its rules and regulations, which are dic-
tated by the Board of Supervisors.
The McKMAC is allowed to comment
on matters of public
health, safety, welfare
and public works in the
McKinleyville area. It
can also comment on
zoning amendments,
general plan petitions
and amendments, and
long-range planning

issues.
However, the McKMAC’s charter specif-
ically prohibits the committee from review-
ing or commenting on subdivisions, condi-
tional use permits, special permits, coastal
development permits and variances.
‘I feel like window dressing’
McKMAC member Craig Tucker said the
rules prohibit the committee from com-
menting on what are some of the most im-
portant issues in McKinleyville.
“We can’t even send a letter to the plan-
ning commission giving our two cents on
a subdivision,” Tucker said at lastb week’s
meeting. “I think we should have the abil-

ARCATA/EUREKA – On Thursday,
Aug. 30 at about 7 p.m., special agents with
the Humboldt County Drug Task Force
(HCDTF) served multiple search warrants
at various locations in Arcata and Eureka.
After a multi-week investigation, spe-
cial agents were able to identify Arcata
resident and business owner Ariel Ar-
guelles-Sosa, age 40, as a suspected nar-
cotics dealer within Humboldt County
communities.
At 6:45 p.m., agents spotted Ar-
guelles-Sosa inside a parked vehicle near
the intersection of Russ and I streets in Eu-
reka. Agents detained Arguelles-Sosa, along

Mad RiveR Union
McKINLEYVILLE – The McKin-
leyville Municipal Advisory Committee
voted unanimously Aug. 29 in support
of Measure O, the half-cent sales tax
that will appear on the Nov. 6 ballot.
The committee, however, made it clear
that it wants the money to be spent on
public safety and not siphoned off for
other unrelated county services.
Measure O would replace Measure Z,
which was approved by voters four years
ago and expires on March 31, 2020.
Measure O, like Measure Z, would gen-

erate $12 million a year to pay for depu-
ties, deputy district attorneys, probation
officers, firefighting equipment and oth-
er public-safety related expenses.
However, the language in Measure
O was tweaked to allow the money to
be spent for roads and “other essential
services.”
McKMAC member Barbara Geor-
gianna noted that the county has used
Measure Z money for road improve-
ments, with the county deeming the
projects necessary for public safety. The
language in Measure O, she said, just
makes it clear that the money can be

OPINION
With just one respectable choice, earnest dialogue is needed on Measure M
Measure M halts resolutions
I had hoped that having a question
about the future of Arcata’s McKinley
statue on the ballot would result in more
dialogue concerning respect, racial ani-
mus, inclusion, listening to contrary views,
learning Wiyot history, examining the Un-
iontown settlement story, and a myriad of
other challenging and crucial topics.
Alas, I haven’t heard much in the way of
heart-to-heart conversations about these
issues.
Had I made more of an effort, I’m sure I
could have found or created opportunities.
But like many other folks, personal and po-
litical demands distracted me from engag-
ing encounters about Measure M.

v LETTERS
Sadly, it now appears that how to vote
on Measure M has been reduced to Arca-
ta’s own “identity politics,” simply choos-
ing which camp to identify with. I still hope
for some earnest dialogue.
Were Measure M to pass, it would pre-
vent Arcata citizens and their City Council
from responding to very real, deep, and le-
gitimate concerns about what we want rep-
resenting the heart of Arcata in the heart of
our Plaza.
Measure M is prohibitive. Section 1
would deny us any possibilities for correc-
tive or ameliorative action: “The following
are prohibited: modification, destruction,
relocation from the historic place in the
center of the Arcata Plaza of the President
William McKinley statue and/or its base.” News Item: Measure M supporters and opponents have more in common than they realize.
Our only respectable choice is to vote
no on Measure M and continue to explore resolutions that will honor all our histories celebrate the wonderful “Marbled Murrelet who donated to have this mural become re-

The commissioners then discussed
the Trinidad General Plan, which
has been languishing for some years
through many changes in the Plan-
ning Commission.
Writing the General Plan is a very
big job. Some of the elements include
recreation, conservation, zoning con-
sistency, parking, view protection,
ordinance implementation, climate
change, cultural and historical con-
siderations, stormwater and septic
policies, noise and a vision statement
anticipating Trinidad in 2040.
Trever Parker spoke of the urgency
to complete the plan this year. A pub-
lic hearing date of Sept. 11 was set for
the next review. The California Coast-
al Commission will need to approve
the General Plan before it takes effect.
Residents of the City of Trinidad
