COMING UP ON THE HEADLINE HUMBOLDT.

WE INTERVIEW EUREKA NEW MAYOR KIM BERGEL.

AS WELL AS HER VISION FOR THE CITY OFFICIATING THE CITY COUNCIL.

THE FEDERAL REGULATORY OF NOTORIOUS CLIMATE DAMS AND SET IN MOTION AN RESTORATION ON THE KLAMATH RIVER.

COMING UP NOW ON HEADLINE HUMBOLDT.

FROM THE TOP OF THE HUMBOLDT HILL.

THIS IS HEADLINE HUMBOLDT.

I'M JAMES FALK.

AND YEW RIKU KIM BERGEL DOESN'T RETREAT INTO A QUIET CORNER TO LANGUISH INTO A PERSONAL DISAPPOINTMENT.

WOULD ENABLE TO CONTINUE HER PUBLIC SERVICE CAREER.

SHE RAN TO REPLACE SUSAN SEA MONDAY.

AND IN SO DOING SHE DEMONSTRATED POISE AND STRENGTH THAT THE PROMISE TO SERVE HER WELL AS THE EUREKA'S MASTER OF CEREMONIES AND MOST PROMINENT POLITICAL VOICE.

BURGLE A LEVEL OF COMMITMENT AND SERIOUSNESS THAT STANDS OUT IN ELECTED CITY GOVERNMENT.

SHE JOINS US NOW IN THE STUDIO TO DISCUSS HER PLANS MOVING FORWARD: THANKS FOR JOINING US KIM.

>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.

>> NOW YOU START OUT TO BE SUPERVISOR.

AND THAT RACE WENT THE WAY IT DID.

SOME PEOPLE HAVE A CONCERN IT'S LIKE A CONSOLATION PRIZE.

>> HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO THAT.

>> I 100% DON'T BELIEVE.

AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE SUPERVISOR ARROYO AND SOME OF THE THINGS I'M MENTAL IS HUGE.

AND IT'S A BIG PROBLEM IN OUR REGION NOT HAVING ENOUGH SERVICES AND SO HAVING THAT CONNECTION WITH COUNTY I THINK IS GOING TO BE CRITICAL MOVING FORWARD IN THE NEW POSITION.

>> YOU'VE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO OBSERVE THAT ROLE FOR A WHILE.

YOU'VE BEEN ON THE COUNCIL FOR A LONG TIME.

>> ALMOST EIGHT YEARS.

>> WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT A GOOD MAYOR NEEDS.

WHAT SKILLS ARE BOTH MANAGE THE MEETINGS AND OFFICIALLY MOVING FORWARD AND MUCH CITIZENS FEEL THEY'RE BEING HEARD.

I THINK RESPECT IS VERY IMPORTANT.

AND AS MAYOR THAT WILL BE SOMETHING I BRING FORWARD.

UNFORTUNATELY THERE'S BEEN AN ENVIRONMENT OF DIVISIVENESS IN THE MEETING.

I FEEL IT KEEPS PEOPLE FROM COMING TO THE MEETING.

THEY DON'T FEEL CONFIDENT SHARING PERHAPS SOMEBODY WILL CAT CALL THEM ORIOLE OR JUST BE INAPPROPRIATE WITH THEM.

>> YEAH.

>> THAT'S SOMETHING I REALLY WANT TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON.

MAYOR SEA MONDAY HAS DONE THAT.

AND LOOKING AT SOME DIFFERENT KINDS OF OPPORTUNITIES TO DO THAT.

>> THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I WAS LEARNING HOW TO DO THIS BUSINESS, AND IF PEOPLE WANTED SHENANIGANS THEY'D GO TO THE ARCATA.

IT SEEMS PEOPLE HAVE WHETHER MORE AGGRESSIVE OR MORE CRITICAL.

OFTEN THREATENING OR BELITTLING THE COUNCIL MEMBERS AT TIME.

WHAT DRIVES THAT DO YOU THINK?

COULD YOU POINT TO ANYTHING IN THE COMMUNITY OR IN THE BROADER NATIONAL CONVERSATION THAT HAS MADE IT MORE TOXIC IN THE CHAMBERS.

>> I THINK IT'S FEAR.

IT'S THAT SIMPLE.

I THINK PEOPLE ARE AFRAID.

I THINK THERE ARE REASONS PEOPLE FEEL AFRAID.

THAT'S NATIONAL.

AND THAT'S STATEWIDE.

THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT HAVE SHIFTED AND CHANGED THAT WE DON'T HAVE ALL OF THE SOLUTIONS FOR, AND THAT'S WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT ENGAGE IN A HEALTHY RESPECTFUL WAY.

WE ALL COME TO THE TABLE IN BRINGING OUR IDEAS -- WE MAY NOT AGREE ON EVERYTHING BUT WE CAN WORK FROM A PLACE OF UNDERSTANDING THIS IS WHAT WE MIGHT.

YOU MAY WANT TO GO THIS WAY, AND YOU MAY WANT TO GO THIS WAY.

AND I THINK WHAT HAPPENS IS PEOPLE GET AFRAID OR THEY SINGLE OUT ONE ISSUE OR ONE PERSON AND INSTEAD OF REALLY LOOKING AT THE COMPLEXITIES OF WHAT MANY OF THESE ISSUES REALLY LOOK LIKE.

I MEAN IF THEY WERE SO EASY THEY WOULD HAVE FIXED.

>> LOTS OF HISTORY.

>> PASSION.

AND YEAH.

>> HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE JOB OF MAYOR AND FOR PAECHL AT HOME WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE COUNCIL MEMBERS' JOBS AND THE MAYORS' JOB.

>> AS THE MAYOR I WILL BE PRESIDE OVER THE MEETING.

WHICH I HAVE BEEN DOING OFF AND ON BEFORE SUSAN AND THEN SUSAN.

THE PRO TEM FISH YATES THE MEETING WHEN THE MAYOR ISN'T THERE.

I'LL GO TO DIFFERENT MEETINGS THAT THE MAYOR I'LL GO TO DIFFERENT MEETINGS THAT THE MAYOR GOES TO.

RIBBON CUTTINGS OR ANOTHER PIECE OF THAT AND WORK WITH ENGAGEMENT.

>> NOW ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK MAYOR SUSAN SEAMON AND THERE WAS A NEED FOR A UNIFIED AND REASSURE FOLKS IN THE CITY THAT THIS CITY WAS BEING RESPECTFUL AND AS PROACTIVE IN ADDRESSING THOSE SITUATIONS.

WHAT CAN YOU LEARN FROM HER TERM IN OFFICE THAT YOU CAN BRING FORWARD AND IN TERMS OF YOU'RE GOING TO APPROACH IT.

>> ONE OF THE THINGS I WILL CARRYING OFFICE HOURS.

BUT I DON'T GET OFF WORK UNTIL 4.

AND I REALLY APPRECIATED THE VIDEOS DOING THE PANDEMIC.

I ENDED UP DOING A COUPLE OF THOSE DURING THE PANDEMIC AS MAYOR PRO TEM.

>> THAT'S WONDERFUL.

>> OKAY.

SO YEAH, I HAD THAT EXPERIENCED.

I DON'T KNOW THAT CURRENTLY IS SOMETHING THAT WE WILL CARRY ON WITH.

I DO TRY TO CONNECT WITH THE COMMUNITY WITH MY Facebook LIVESTREAM AND GET PEOPLE IN WHAT'S HAPPENING AND WHAT THEY CAN PARTICIPATE IN.

WHICH I THINK ARE REALLY IMPORTANT.

AS MAYOR AS A COUNCILWOMAN I WORKED HARD TO MEET PEOPLE WHERE THEY'RE AT.

WHETHER THAT'S AT OLD TOWN IN THE DANCE OR IN THE MARSH OR BOARD OF SUPS MEETING.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE.

>>ISM WHEN THERE'S AN EVENT YOU'RE MOST LIKELY TO BE THERE.

BUT OFTEN AT THE SCENE OF THINGS AS THEY'RE HAPPENING WHETHER AS AN INTERESTED OBSERVER AND REPRESENTATIVE 6 THE CITY.

I THINK THAT IS IMPORTANT.

>> YOU KNOW, SO YOU RAN FOR SUPERVISOR AND NOW YOU'RE MAYOR.

WHICH IT'S AN HONOR IN ITS OWN RIGHT.

ARE YOU STILL THINKING AT SOME POINT YOU WANT TO BE A SUPERVISOR.

>> YOU'RE YOUNG.

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT.

I'VE DECIDED JUST WHEN I RAN FOR SUPERVISOR I'M GOING TO DO WHAT'S IN FRONT OF ME.

WHEN I RAN FOR SUPERVISOR I RAN AGAIN I THINK WORKING THROUGH SOME OF THESE ISSUES WITH MENTAL HEALTH AND SOME OF THE ISSUES IN OUR CITY ARE CRITICAL.

I DIDN'T WANT TO BE OUT OF PUBLIC SERVICE.

I RAN AND I GOT TO BRING ATTENTION TO A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.

MENTAL HEALTH IS A HUGE PIECE OF THAT THE AND AS MAYOR, I'M GOING TO BE ABLE -- BECAUSE THAT KIND OF WAS SERENDIPITOUS HOW THAT HAPPENED.

I'LL CONTINUE TO DO THAT.

WHAT'S NEXT WILL BE NEXT.

>> SORT OF WHAT HAPPENS HAPPENS.

>> EVERYTHING WORKS OUT THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO.

>> YOU MENTIONED MENTAL HEALTH TWICE NOW.

IS THERE ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR ABOUT THAT SUBJECT YOU'RE PLANNING TO MOVE FORWARD.

>> YES I'M GOYLE TO WORK TOGETHER WITH PEOPLE TO CREATE A MENTAL HEALTH INITIATIVE.

THE CITY OF EUREKA HAS BEEN WORKING ON THEY ARE FOR A WHILE.

TO WE'RE LOOKING FOR TWO CLINICIANS TO WORK WITH THE POLICE.

I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF THE PROGRAMMING WE CAN DO.

AND THE COUNTY DOES DO STUFF BUT CURRENTLY IT'S -- WE NEED MORE.

IT'S NOT THAT THINGS AREN'T HAPPENING BECAUSE THEY ABSOLUTELY ARE.

BUT WE NEED MORE OF THAT.

WORKING WITH THE NAMI.

WORKING WITH EMENT EPD.

COVID HAS EXACERBATED THE ISSUES OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.

I WANT TO BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT.

A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE REALLY MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE IS WHAT WE SEE WHAT WE WALKTHROUGH A PARTICULAR AREA OF TOWN.

AND THE CONCERNS FOR ME ARE MORE OF THAT.

BUT ALSO THE PEOPLE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS THAT ARE DEPRESSED AND SUICIDAL AND DON'T FEEL STIGMATIZED AND UNWILLING TO REACH OUT.

>> I THINK AS WE JUST HAD A SHOWING LAST WEEK ON WEDNESDAY OF OUR NEW DOCUMENTARY ON SUICIDE, AND I THINK THAT THE MORE WE CAN LIFT THAT STIGMA AND ALLOW PEOPLE TO SEEK HELP RATHER THAN BE ASHAMED OF IT.

I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

>> 100 PERCENT.

>> TWO YEARS AGO BEFORE YOU DECIDED TO RUN FOR CITY COUNCIL.

DID YOU EVER THINK YOU'D BE SITTING IN THE MAYOR'S SEAT.

>> NO.

IT WAS INTERESTING.

I GOT ON THE TRANSPORTATION AND SAFETY COMMISSION.

BECAUSE MY KIDS WERE YOUNG AND I WAS RIDING MY BIKE ALL OVER THE TOWN WITH THEM.

I WAS SO FRUSTRATED RIDING AROUND WITH MY KIDS.

AND FROM THERE THINGS STARTED TO UNFOLD FOR ME.

AND I'VE BEEN INVOLVED SINCE THAT THAT COMMISSION.

>> IT'S BEEN A SORT OF A MEET YOUR YORK CAREER.

MENTION IS YOUR CHILDREN.

I LIKE ESPECIALLY THE TOOK WHAT WAS A DEFEAT AND TURNED INTO THIS SECOND CHAPTER.

DID THEY WANT YOU TO RUN FOR MAYOR AFTER THE SUPERVISOR'S RACE.

DID THEY HAVE ANY THOUGHTS IN THAT REGARD.

>> WHAT ENDED UP HAPPENING I ENDED TALKING TO THE MAYOR ABOUT IT.

WE DISCUSSED HER NOT RUNNING.

SHE THOUGHT I MIGHT BE WILLING.

SO I EXPLAINED TO HER I DID TALK TO MY CHILDREN FIRST.

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE MY KIDS.

SON OF COURSE YOU'RE GOING TO RUN MOM.

OF COURSE YOU ARE.

YOU KNOW, OF COURSE I AM.

OF COURSE I AM.

>> THEY'RE VERY SUPPORTIVE.

BOTH OF THEM.

>> WE HAD YOU ON THE SHOW ONCE BEFORE.

WE WERE FERMENT, AND SOME OF THAT WAS DIRECTED AT YOUR FAMILY.

>> YES, IT WAS.

>> I THINK THAT UNDERSCORES HOW STRONG YOUR KIDS SOUND YEAH MOM GO FOR IT EVEN THOUGH THERE HAS BEEN SOME ISSUES WITH PERSONALITIES OR WHATEVER.

>> YES.

>> NOW, WHAT DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT YOU LOOK -- YOU MENTIONED MENTAL HEALTH.

IS THERE GOING TO BE ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO FOCUS.

I WANT TO FOCUS ON MENTAL HEALTH WHICH IS GOING TO BE A BIG BOON IN CREATING SAFETY FOR PEOPLE.

AND TRANSPORTATION SAFETY IN OUR REGION.

I'M SO DISMAYED THAT'S AN UNDERSTATEMENT BY ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO'RE HIT ON BROADWAY.

REALLY DELVING INTO THAT.

THE OTHER PIECE OF IS CIVILITY.

THERE'S A SPECIFIC DECORUM THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN OUR COUNCIL MEETINGS AND I BELIEVE IN CONVERSATIONS.

YOU KNOW, AND SO LOOKING AT WAYS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH CREATING THOSE CONVERSATIONS, IN A WAY THAT ARE RESPECTFUL AND I MEAN WE CAN AGREE TO DISAGREE.

THAT'S TOTALLY FINE.

100 PERCENT.

THAT'S HOW WE GROW AND LEARN.

CALLING PEOPLE NAMES AND DEMEANING THEM.

I GOT A POST WITH SOMEBODY IN FRONT OF ONE OF THE UTILITY BOXES WITH THEIR PANTS DOWN.

IT'S LIKE WHY DO WE HAVE TO EXPLOIT THESE PEOPLE.

WHY CAN'T WE BRING FORWARD SOLUTIONS.

YOU CAN SEND ME THAT PICTURE AS A JOKE.

IT'S NOT FUNNY.

REALLY TRYING TO DELVE INTO THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH OF IT.

LOOKING TO CHANGE THE NARRATIVE.

RIGHT NOW THERE'S AN ELEMENT THAT IS VERY VULGAR AND RUDE AND MEAN.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

ON THAT TOPIC OF LIKE SORT OF THE VULGARITY AND THE ANGER THAT'S BEEN GOING ON, YOU MENTIONED FEAR.

IS THERE ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR WHETHER ECONOMIC CONCERNS OR CULTURAL CONCERN.

PEOPLE THEY'RE LOSING SOMETHING.

DO YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS WHERE -- I MEAN IT'S EVERYWHERE I GUESS.

>> YOU KNOW I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO PINPOINT WHAT THAT MIGHT BE.

SOME OF THE BEHAVIOR IS ATTENTION SEEKING.

>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

IT'S ALMOST CATCH-22.

BECAUSE THE MORE ATTENTION WE MAY ENCOURAGE IT.

BUT YOU CAN'T LET IT STAND.

>> THAT CERTAINLY IS A PARADOX.

>> THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN FACING NATIONALLY IN A LOT OF WAYS.

I HAD THE CHIEF OF POLICE HOW THE CITY HAS BEEN WORKING TO SORT OF FUNCTION AS A WAY TO DIVERT PEOPLE WHO'RE MENTALLY ILL OR HOMELESS AND GET THEM IN PROGRAMS.

THERE'S BEEN VARIOUS PROGRAMS TO DO THAT.

HE TALKED ABOUT DIVERTING THOSE PROGRAMS SHOULD BE A PART OF THE POLICE DO AND THERE SHOULD BE MORE OF A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS TO DO THAT.

DO YOU THINK THAT REPRESENTS A CHANGE IN THE CITY.

AND CSAT WHERE IT'S AUTONOMOUS PART WHAT THE POLICE DO.

>> I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO BUILD ON WHAT'S WORKING.

LOOKING AT DIFFERENT WAYS TO INCREASE THE PRODUCTIVITY AND MOSTLY THE CONNECTION WITH PEOPLE.

I THINK ANY IDEA IS WORTH TRYING AS LONG AS IT'S CIVILIZED.

AND MAKING THOSE CHANGES AND HONESTLY I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS IDEA OF THE CITY -- CITIES DON'T HAVE MENTAL HEALTH AREAS THAT WORK IN THE CITY.

AND SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

WHEN I GO TO CONFERENCES AND I LISTEN TO WE'RE SO FAR AHEAD OF THE GAME OFTEN TIME.

I LOOK AGAIN TO HOPEFULLY BE A ROLE MODEL TO OTHER CITIES HOW WE CAN MAKE THESE THINGS EVEN BETTER.

>> WHEN YOU SAID MENTAL HEALTH INITIATIVE.

DO YOU MEAN AN INITIATIVE IN FRONT OF VOTERS.

NO NO.

JUST AN ERT.

.

JUST TO FOCUS.

RAW DO YOU SAYING STIGMA AND FINDING SUPPORTS FOR FOLKS ON THE WHOLE SPECTRUM OF THE ISSUE.

>> NOW, TALKING TO THE POLICE CHIEF DO YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS WHAT HIS TENURE HAS BEEN SO FAR.

HE MENTIONED THAT THE CITIZEN'S REVIEW COMMISSION OR WHATEVER THE PROPER TERM IS STARTING TO GET ITS FEET UNDER IT.

DO YOU HAVE ANY EXPERIENCED, AND WHAT DO YOU THINK.

>> WE VOTED FOR IT TO HAVE IT CHANGED.

TO BE HONEST I REALLY DO LIKE THE NEW POLICE CHIEF.

I THINK HE'S DOING A FABULOUS JOB.

HE'S GOT THE RESPECT OF HIS PEOPLE.

HE'S GOT THE RESPECT OF THE COMMUNITY.

HE'S VERY ENGAGED AND INVOLVED AND AVAILABLE.

ALL WHICH ARE THINGS ARE IMPORTANT IN A PUBLIC SERVANT.

>> THE TOPIC OF 450E78S HAS BEEN ONE YOU'VE BEEN ENGAGED WITH SEVERAL TIMES AND I PERSONALLY APPRECIATE THAT ENGAGEMENT.

THERE WAS RECENTLY AN ISSUE WHERE THEY MOVED A HOMELESS CAMP BEHIND I DON'T KNOW THE OLD FOLKS HOME.

>> SILVER CREST.

>> THERE WAS A CAMP AT SILVER CREST AND THEY MOVED SOME FOLKS.

WE HAVE THESE SITUATIONS WHERE WE'RE CAPABLE MOVING HOMELESS PEOPLE FROM PLACE TO PLACE.

THERE'S NO REAL ANSWER.

THEY HAVE TO SLEEP SOMEWHERE AND STAY SOMEWHERE.

BY SHOVING THE PROBLEM FROM PLACE TO PLACE BUT WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS WHAT THE CITY HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO ON HELPING THE HOMELESS, AND IS THERE MORE THAT CAN BE DONE.

>> THERE'S ALWAYS MORE THAT CAN BE DONE.

I WOULD SAY I'M VERY PROUD OF OUR CITY.

THEIR WILLINGNESS TO STEP UP.

WE HAVE THE UPLIFT THAT WORKS WITH THE HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS WITH HOUSING, I.D., PATHWAYS TO PAY DAYS TO HELP FOLKS GET TO WORK.

PARTNERING WITH BETTY.

THAT WILL BE MORE HOUSING.

CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE TO ACCESS SERVICES I THINK IS CRITICAL.

NOW I THINK THE THING TO REMEMBER AND THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ONE WE CANNOT MANUFACTURE WILLINGNESS.

WE CANNOT MAKE SOMEBODY BE WILLING TO TAKE SERVICES OR CHANGE THEIR LIVES IF THEY DON'T WANT TO.

WHETHER THAT ADDICTION OR WHATEVER THAT MAY BE.

WE HAVE A NAVIGATION THE MISSION IS BEING THE WOMEN'S SHELTER IS BEING REMODELED SO IT WILL HAVE MORE PEOPLE.

WE'RE BUILDING MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

WE'RE MOVING IN THE DIRECTION TO CREATE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE.

CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE AND OFFERING WHAT IS AVAILABLE NOW.

AND SO I REALLY APPRECIATE OUR TEAM.

I APPRECIATE OUR UPLIFT.

OUR C SAT.

AND ALL THESE FOLKS WHO'RE OUT THERE AND THERE'S A LOT OF AGENCIES AND JUST PEOPLE DOING THIS KIND OF WORK ALL DAY ALL THE TIME.

>> WE HAVE ONE MINUTE LEFT.

REAL QUICK THE COUNCIL HAS CHANGED AS WELL.

A LITTLE BIT.

>> YES.

>> ALTHOUGH IT'S TOO EARLIER.

G MARIO FERNANDEZ MAY HAVE CINCHED THAT SEAT.

HOW MUCH DOES THAT AFFECT THE MAYOR'S JOB IN TERMS OF THE MAKEUP AND PERSONALITY OF THE CITY COUNCIL YOU'RE GOING TO BE OVERSEEING.

I THINK RESPECTFUL DIALOGUE.

WE'RE GOING TO BE FINE.

I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT ON ALL LEVELS IS THAT INSTEAD OF ADJUSTING PERSONALITIES ALL THE TIME WE REALLY LOOK AT THE PRINCIPLES WE LOOK AT THE IDEAS THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING AND TALK AND WORK FROM THERE.

>> FROM YOUR LIPS TO GOD'S EARS.

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK AFTER THIS SHORT BREAK.

WITH 37,000,058 COUNTED THERE HAVE BEEN SOME SIGNIFICANT CHANGES FROM THE LAST ELECTION REPORT.

FROM THE REGISTER INSTRUCTOR.

JUAN PABLO CERVANTES.

IN THE RACE FOR TWO SEATS ON THE MEREDITH MATTHEWS 34.82% WHILE KIMBER 333-39%.

I DO BELIEVE THAT'S GOING TO BE AN ALL WOMEN CITY COUNCIL.

WHILE JULY FULLERTON 47.63%.

THIS REPRESENTS A FLIP FROM THE LAST REPORT.

HE IS NOW LOSING.

IN WARD 5 DeLOACH RECEIVED COLE RECEIVED 46.43%.

MEASURE M THAT MEASURE APPEARS TO HAVE FAILED NARROWLY.

WHILE 49.4 VOTED YES.

THIS ALSO REPRESENTS A FLIP IN RESULTS FROM THE LAST REPORT AND ONE OF OUR CREW MEMBERS WHEN MARCHES IS COLONIZED OUR EARTH ACTIVITIES WILL BE MUCH MORE PRIDE IN POLITIC.

THE FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION VOTED TO CLEAR THE WAY FOR THE REMOVAL OF FOUR DAMS ON THE KLAMATH RIVER.

A CHANGE THAT WILL KICK OFF A MASSIVE RIVER RESTORATION EFFORT.

AND LOCAL NATIVE TRIBES AND THE ACTUAL FISH THEMSELVES WHO HAVE LONG SUFFERED UNDER THE BURDEN OF HAVING TO NAVIGATE PAST THE DAMS IN THEIR EFFORT TO MIGRATE UPSTREAM AND LAY EGGS.

CREDITING YEARS OF HARD WORK FOR THE DEVELOPMENT.

TION THE RESULT OF YEARS OF DIFFICULT WORK FOR OUR DEDICATED NORTH COAST TRIBES AND THE LEADERSHIP OF CALIFORNIA AND OREGON AND MEMBERS OF HUFFMAN.

POOR CONDITIONS ON THE KLAMATH RIVER HAVE CAUSED SUBSTANTIAL HARM TO OUR PEOPLE.

HUFFMAN POINTED THAT THE OTHER DAM REMOVAL IN THE WEST A HAVE SEEN DRAMATIC ARE THE CLAM I.T.

HAS TO RECOVER AND REBUILD AS THIS WORK IS DONE.

FIRST CHAIRMAN RICHARD GLICK COMMENTED ON THE MOVE AT THE THIS WEEK'S MEETING.

>> THE LAST TIME FOR THE DEADMISSIONING BUT YOU KNOW A LOT OF THESE PROJECTS WERE LICENSED A NUMBER OF YEARS WHERE THERE WASN'T AS MUCH FOCUS THAT ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE.

SOME OF THESE PROJECTS HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON ENVIRONMENT.

WHEN WE'RE -- WHEN COMPANIES ARE GOING THROUGH THE RE-LICENSING PROCESS I THINK PEOPLE NOW WE HAVE A GREATER INFORMATION, AND DIFFERENT LAWS AND THAT SOMETIMES THE RE-LICENSING CAN BE RATHER EXPENSIVE.

AND SO I THINK IN SOME CASES LICENSEES IT'S TOO COST PROHIBITIVE TO GO FORWARD WITH THIS CASE.

>> AS IT RELATES TO AGAIN AS I MENTIONED THE FISH AND WILDLIFE PROTECTION.

I THINK ALSO THERE'S A NUMBER OF DISCUSSION OF THE ORDER REGARDING THE IMPACT ON TRIBES AND THE ABILITY FOR TRIBES TO BE ABLE TO ESSENTIALLY DO THEIR PRACTICES AND CONDITIONS IMPROVED.

FISHERIES AND.

I THINK IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE.

I DON'T THINK COMMISSION SPENT A LOT OF TIME THINKING ABOUT THE IMPACT ON THE TRIBES.

I THINK FOR GOOD.

I THINK WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS ON THAT FRONT.

STILL A WAYS TO GO.

ANYWAY I WANT TO THANK THE COMMISSION STAFF AND I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING THIS ORDER.

I WANT TO THANK THE COMMISSION STAFF FOR THE ORDER.

>> IT ALLOWS THE CLAM I.T.

RENEWAL RIVER THAT WILL LEAD THE DAM REMOVAL EFFORT AND THE FOR THE PURPOSE OF DEMOLISHING THE DAMS.

CONSTRUCTION CREWS AND IN EARLY 2023 AND WILL REMOVE THE KO P.K.

O DAM.
