Significant slide activity continues to hamper Last Chance Grade By Zack Demars The Triplicate

U.S. Highway 101 was open to one-lane travel Tuesday night after another week of landslide activity blocked the road at Last Chance Grade. Crews have been working on the road since last week, when precipitation caused the hillside above the highway to crumble down, blocking both lanes for extended periods of time. As of Tuesday evening, crews warned motorists of possible 30-minute delays overnight, as well as three-hour delays scheduled between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. to allow for removal and prevention work. “We will continue constant monitoring of the slide and will provide updates here as we receive them,” Caltrans District 1 officials wrote in Facebook updates Tuesday. “Thank you very much to our crews, our slide catchment and those motorists maintaining patience and attentiveness for keeping the slide area safe.”

Council chooses first Measure S Committee By David Rupkalvis The Triplicate

Months after voters strongly approved a one-cent sales tax to fund specific city functions, the Crescent City City Council approved a five-person board to oversee the tax revenue. By a 3-2 vote, the council approved Mayor Jason Greenough’s choices for the board. Greenough named Cindy Cruse, Heidi Kime, Emery Mattz IV, Ernie Perry and Kelly Schellong as the first members of the Measure S Oversight Committee. The five were chosen from eight applicants, all that were qualified, according to City Manager Eric Wier. “Measure S came with huge support from our community, but it also comes with a huge responsibility,” Wier said. The tax measure will fund the police and fire departments, streets and the city pool. The committee will be responsible for looking at how the revenue was spent and presenting a report to the community. In addition, the city will ask the committee to assist in the budgeting process. By a 5-0 vote, the council approved the bylaws for the committee. After Greenough presented his choices, council members discussed a variety of things. Most of the discussion was about naming the three applicants not chosen as alternates in case of a vacancy. After discussing the issue, City Attorney Martha Rice said no vote was necessary. She explained the applications could be kept on file, and if there was a vacancy, they could be used. Greenough said narrowing the list to five was not easy. “All the people who applied were qualified, and I really appreciate the fact we had more people apply than there were seats on the board,” Greenough said. “Generally, we have a very difficult time getting people involved. I was trying to find people who were business owners, I was trying to find people from different walks of life.” The bylaws say members will have two-year terms, but as the first members, some will have shorter terms. The committee will decide how to decide terms so new Please see MEASURE S, Page A10

According to CalTrans, the only recommended alternate route between Crescent City and Eureka takes drivers on U.S. Highway 199 to Grants Pass, then south on Interstate 5 to Redding and east on State Route 299 to Eureka. California Highway Patrol reminded drivers this week that alternate routes, like the G-O Road and other Forest Roads were also impassible due to winter weather. During the closures, those across the county felt the impacts. The Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office said it has received assistance from the Humboldt County Sherriff’s Office, Cal-Ore Life Flight, CHP and the Yurok Tribal Police to ensure the Klamath area saw law enforcement coverage even during the closure. “With support from HSO, CHP, Cal Ore Life Flight and the YTP we were able to keep law enforcement service to Klamath,” Sheriff Erik Apperson wrote in a statement Tuesday. “They all stepped up immediately and in a major way. I hardly had time to even ask for

their help before they were on the way. I am truly grateful for their service and commitment to our region.” Helicopter footage from the sheriff’s office posted Sunday showed the dramatic extent of the slide, with mounts of rock and downed trees covering the hillside and the highway below. Students and families also faced the impacts of the slide: Bus service from Klamath was canceled for those south of Last Chance Grade for the week, forcing those students to attend classes online. “Even though Last Chance Grade is open for one-way traffic, due to safety concerns and the frequency of slides, we have determined that students living south of Last Chance Grade will not attend in-person schooling for the remainder of the week,” Del Norte Unified School District Superintendent Jeff Harris wrote in an update Monday. “Instead, they will participate in distance learning until the slide has stabilized. Food will still be available through curbside pickup

Last Chance Grade has reopened after significant work from CalTrans workers. Drivers in the area will face delays, sometimes significant delays, at Margaret Keating school.” The status of the road is constantly evolving. Caltrans is continuing to post updates to its Facebook page at www.facebook.com/CaltransD1/, and officials recommend limiting

travel through the area to essential trips. The highway’s latest status is available online at quickmap.dot. ca.gov/.

Del Norte senior signs with Siskiyous By Knox Keranen The Triplicate

On paper, Madison Farley plays third base for the Del Norte High School Warriors softball team, but she is much more than that. A senior at Del Norte High School, Farley can play all the positions on the diamond except for pitcher, not to mention she is carrying a 4.0 GPA, is a charitable member of the community and plans to pursue a career as a paramedic. Recently, she committed to play softball at the College of the Siskiyous, however, she is keeping her focus on her final season with Del Norte, which she is excited for despite new, COVID related challenges. “It’s challenging sometimes to get used to having a mask on your face, but it’s not really what’s on your mind when you’re playing,” Farley said. “It’s more [about] winning and being able to get better at the sport, learn new things and make the play for the next out.” Del Norte High School softball coach Jackie Heuberger said Farley has been one of the hardest working players on the field since she joined the team as a freshman and was fighting for a spot. “Knowing that there was no JV team, and a pretty good possibility that she was never going to play in a game, she continued to work hard and stay out there,” said Heuberger. “She has a passion for it and she has a love for it...that’s hard to find with kids.” When describing herself as a player, Farley said she is supportive and a helper; willing to go wherever she is needed. She carries those traits into her community service work as well, chopping wood for her neighbors and walking their dog when they are away. Despite the risks involved with health care work, especially during a pandemic, Farley is determined to continue

It was the first thing I wanted to do,” said Farley. Due to the pandemic shutdown last spring, the Warriors only played three games before the 2020 season was cancelled, and while much remains unknown about the upcoming season, Farley is staying positive and focusing on her favorite aspects of a sport she has been playing since she was 4. “It’s being able to build structure with your teammates. It’s kind of like having a second family and they’re all your friends. It’s super fun being able to develop a team with them.” Farley said.

Stay off back roads in winter By Knox Karanen The Triplicate

Sometimes, GPS navigation apps like Google Maps and Waze can mislead you. Following directions from navigation apps, multiple motorists attempted to use forest roads as an alternate route around the landslide closure at Last Chance Grade on Highway 101, including one traveler who became trapped overnight. The Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue team was called around 8 a.m. Sunday to aid

the California Highway State Patrol with turning motorists around, as well as rescuing one motorist farther up G-O Road, a snow-covered forest road. Although the search and rescue team responded in four-wheel drive vehicles, the depth of the snow made it difficult to proceed at around the 10 mile mark. They were able to continue up Red Mountain Road for about five and half miles before the road became impassable and they were forced to abandon their vehicles and hike. Fish and Game officers out of

Humboldt County assisted the rescue attempt, communicating over radio that the trapped motorist was one or two miles farther from the Search and Rescue team’s abandoned vehicles. After about a half mile, the motorist was located. He was in good condition and was able to keep warm overnight with the heated seats in his vehicle. Besides the heated seats, his vehicle was completely disabled. Search and Rescue escorted him back to their vehicles and to safety. When traveling on an unfamiliar

route, Under Sheriff Randy Waltz recommends travelers use more reliable sources for navigation, such as Caltrans QuickMap, and check road conditions before they leave. Waltz added that travelers should also apply common sense to the situation. “If a road starts getting rough, it might be a message that their GPS app has led them astray,” said Waltz. He added that G-O Road is a temperamental road, especially during the winter. “That route is rough on a passenger car, even in the best of weather.”

Del Norte cross country runs strong A2  |  FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2021

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

By John Gunther The Triplicate

The Del Norte High School cross country team has had success in its first two meets of the season. The Warriors opened the year with their one home meet, at the Del Norte Golf Course. “I was proud of how the kids competed with such little amount of actual practice time,” coach Scott Lindsay said. “A few of the kids had been running in preparation for the season and it showed.” Arcata, Fortuna and Eureka joined Del Norte in the meet, with a total of 76 runners from the schools across all the races. “The meet went very well overall,” Lindsay said. “New protocols were set because of COVID-19, and we were able to keep the meet safe and competitive.” The varsity runners competed on a 5,000-meter course (3.1 miles) and the junior varsity runners competed at 2.3 miles. Aaron Martinez led Del Norte, finishing eighth in the varsity race in 18 minutes and 44 seconds. Kaleo Abasolo was 18th, Bobby Aflague 24th and Kyland MInyard 25th. Freshman Bronson Early won the JV race, with Blake Larson sixth and Nathan DeNicholas ninth. Emily Ralph finished 14th in the girls JV race. Arcata won the varsity girls team race with 23 points and Eureka had 35. Fortuna edged Eureka 28-30 for the boys varsity title. “We really appreciate the owners of Del Norte Golf Course for allowing us to have a race on their property,” Lindsay said. “They were great hosts.”

The team’s second meet was at Arcata. Martinez led the varsity boys, placing 12th in 20:52. Aflague was 22nd (22:14), Abasolo 24th (22:19) and Minyard 26th (23:05). Early won the junior varsity race in 21:04. Noah Burg was eighth (28:51). “(Bronson) is running very strong and will test the waters of varsity running next week,” Lindsay said, noting that “Aaron Martinez held his spot as our No. 1 runner and is progressing nicely.” Del Norte’s only girl, Ralph, was injured and not able to compete. The team had its third of four meets Wednesday at Fortuna (results were not available by press time). The final meet is Saturday, March 6, in Eureka.

“Access to local seafood becomes key tenant of building a resilient local food system” This week, local seafood will be distributed and prepared across the North Coast, kicking off a four-month program to increase local access to seafood while providing economic support to local fishermen. DNATL Community Food Council received Fishermen COVID Relief funds from Catch Together, a program of Multiplier, to develop the North Coast Fresh from the Sea Program, a multifaceted approach to address food insecurity and

Working collaboratively with Humboldt Food Policy Council and the Yurok Food Sovereignty Division, the program spans the North Coast to provide access to local seafood in food boxes, prepared meals and educational workshops and resources. “It’s surprising how little access we have to fresh, local seafood here on the North Coast. A majority of seafood caught here gets shipped out and then markets and restaurants purchase seafood from national distributors. As we continue to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic and assess the resilience of our regional food systems, access to local seafood must become a key component of our strategy. This program allows us to provide support to local fishermen while providing our community with

nutrient dense, fresh, local protein sources,” said Andrea Lanctot, DNATL CFC Food Program coordinator The complete program aims to provide 29,123 meals to food insecure individuals and families across rural Del Norte and Humboldt counties while providing COVID relief funds to fishermen. The DNATL Community Food Council is working with Pacific Native Fisheries, a Yurok family owned fish business, to purchase salmon, blackcod and lingcod to be distributed through existing food distribution programs and partners. Packaged, frozen fish filets will be distributed to families in need through Pacific Pantry, Del Norte Food Security Task Force Partner programs and Klamath-Trinity Resource Conservation District in Hoopa. Fish will also go to Del Norte Senior Center and Humboldt Senior Center to be prepared into meals for

their Senior Meals on Wheels Program and to St. Vincent De Paul for meals they prepare for the homeless. Supporting access to traditional foods for the Yurok Tribe, a portion of funds will go to support the Yurok Fisheries Tribal Elders Fish program and support a series of workshops led by the Ancestral Guard on the third Sunday of the month on how to harvest other marine foods. The program includes the Sea to Market project to help local fishermen adapt to selling fish locally. DNATL CFC will provide grant funds to two fishermen to help them obtain their Multi-functioning Fish Business License, allowing them to sell direct to consumer and to other market outlets. Local fishermen can apply online at www.dnatlfood.com by Friday, March 12, for a chance to receive funds to acquire the license and gain support from the DNATL Communi-

ty Food Council to establish new markets. The Community Food Council sees the program as the first step in establishing relationships to incorporate local seafood into their strategy of building a vibrant and resilient regional food system. They hope to be included in the next round of Catch Together funding but plan to continue to purchase local seafood past the program for the Pacific Pantry and the launch of their new mobile market. Fishermen interested in applying for the Sea to Market grant funding or being part of future programs should contact Andrea Lanctot, food program coordinator, at alanctot@ frcredwoods.org. Local tribal members interested in attending Ancestral Guard marine food workshops should contact Peter Gensaw, Ancestral Guard cultural director, at 707-496-2655.

Guest columns Explaining the vaccine from the ground level By Dr. Warren Rehwaldt We have been getting a lot of concerned questions about progress with vaccinations in our County. This seems like a good time to explain and update the facts from the ground level. The biggest problem has been the data that is needed to track the vaccines and monitor every part of the process, and it is fair to say that there are some problems at all levels. For example, the state health department data portal directs people to a couple of spots that show the progress, one of them says we have done 3,017 vaccines and another shows we have 780 doses on hand. In actuality at the end of last week when the state data was posted, we had 620 Moderna doses in our freezer, and about 230 Pfizer doses still available to us in a Humboldt County freezer. In our county, the doses that have been administered or allocated to local medical offices and the hospital between the two sources comes closer to 3,450. This does not include the prison that has been doing their own vaccinations since early January. About 25% of the staff has agreed to vaccination and 75% of the inmates. This week, we still have about 600 Moderna and 160 Pfizer doses remaining, but those have to cover second doses for a lot of people over the next two weeks. Second doses for both of the “airport” clinics that we ran are due in the next two weeks which will be over 550 doses alone. Alongside all of that, we supply doses to five medical offices, and even a few to Sutter Hospital to cover second doses for them when their supply dried up. On top of that, we have been running targeted group clinics every week, for first and second doses for a whole bunch of people, mostly people in 1a who were difficult to contact, or who were slower to decide on vaccination. Until this last week we have averaged 300 doses of Moderna (311 per week, actually, between 12/9/20, and 2/10/21) shipped to us. In addition to that, we have had 1,200 doses of Pfizer vaccine to use, which was distributed to us from Humboldt County, starting in mid-December. If

you divide our total above by the time frame since we started vaccinating, we have given out 350 doses a week, on average. We had 1,200 doses delayed (a backlog in shipping due to the freeze back East last week), and we don’t have a firm shipping date. We will run out by the end of this week, if we supply local offices for new first doses. If we don’t do any more first doses this week, we think that we will have barely enough to cover for both weeks’ second doses. If our vaccine arrives, we will be able to expand vaccination in a meaningful way for the first time. Sound confusing? It is, especially when we live in a time when the recommendations are constantly changing; first, hold on to second doses, then no, use second doses as first doses and first doses as second doses, and then use 50% of second doses as first doses (or was it the other way around?) I am going on record to say that all of us in local public health departments in California have had our share of frustrating experiences with the vaccine rollout. We decided to simplify, and keep a sensible inventory, to cover anticipated first and second doses for at least a few weeks in advance. We do not think there should be a need to run out and cancel appointments. If the federal government tells us to start only doing one dose per customer, our lives will become much easier. We are now mostly focused on seniors; teachers, too, but we had to postpone some of our planning about vaccinating teachers because we did not get the expected increase in supply at the start of the month. Our allocations are starting to creep up, and we are going to be working on expanding our large clinics and holding additional ones to accommodate our teacher workforce, especially with the new directive from the Governor’s office. This also includes daycare workers. After them (or alongside them), are agriculture workers, and other emergency and essential government workers and food industry workers; grocery stores in

particular, and yes, restaurant workers at some point in the future. The list gets less complicated after that, as the biggest group will be persons with medical conditions, ages 16 to 64, (starting March 15th) but by then the state system that is being rolled out will hopefully have worked out the bugs and will be operating smoothly. At some point in the next few months nearly everyone will have access to vaccine of some sort. We hope... 3,400 doses in Del Norte means at the most, 1,700 people vaccinated. This in a county with about 25,500 non-incarcerated residents, is just shy of 7% of the population. We were hoping to be at 10-15% at this point, but that would have meant twice as much vaccine shipped to us. It just did not turn out that way, but it’s still a good start. And yes, very few people have been vaccinated out of turn. We have kept a list from the beginning of the program, of persons to be called at a moment’s notice to get added to a pool of vaccines, but sometimes the list is completely tapped out, and we have called whoever came to mind, sometimes persons who literally made up their minds that moment. Time is a factor with this vaccine, and we have given shots within minutes of the expiration hour (yes, hour, not date. Our vaccines last six hours at room temperature, and then have to be discarded if not used.) You will continue to hear stories like this, because we have been told over and over again, to not waste any of these doses, for any reason. We do not plan on letting that happen. So once again, we ask people to be patient, we are doing the best that we can at the moment. Our plan remains the same, let our local offices use as much vaccine as they can manage, and hold the clinics we need to do to reach the persons that are due at any given time. We will get there. In the meantime, please keep doing what we need to do to keep each other safe and slow the virus down. It’s still the best protection for us all and for our community. Dr. Warren Rehwaldt Del Norte County Public Health Officer

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the California DMV is increasing the number of transactions that can be completed without a visit to a field office. The DMV has several methods to serve customers, including online self-service options, through DMV Now kiosks or via a DMV business partner so that customers can “visit” the DMV by other means. The following questions cover some of the most convenient ways to access DMV services and complete essential transactions without stepping foot in a field office.

appropriately spaced, and plexiglass shields have been installed. Additionally, all employees and customers are required to wear a face covering while inside a DMV office and during a behindthe-wheel drive test exam, and must maintain six feet of physical distancing. Customers should anticipate longer than usual wait times while these preventive measures are in place.

So, when local politicians disprove that thesis, it’s worth appreciating. Applause, therefore, to the Border Coast Regional Airport Authority commissioners for their unanimous vote against Contour Airlines’ bid to change its Crescent City flight destination from Oakland International to Sacramento. Contour had applied for the change to take advantage of a new partnership with American Airlines that will allow their passengers to “book through” on American to other U.S. destinations. One problem: American flies through Sacramento, not Oakland. The change would have made it slightly more convenient for travelers to reach LA, Phoenix or Chicago, but it would have severed or seriously damaged our precious air link to the Bay Area – flying there via Sacramento would have tripled the time required, and at least doubled

Californians age 70 and older with a noncommercial driver’s license are now eligible to renew online or by mail, eliminating the need to visit a California Department of Motor Vehicles office. Licenses with an expiration date starting March 1, 2020 are eligible. This new option waives the requirement for many seniors to visit a DMV office during the COVID-19 pandemic. Californians with a suspended license are not eligible. Drivers over the age of 70 can find information on DMV services, safety guidelines, and other resources by visiting www.dmv.ca.gov/seniors. Q4: I still need to get my REAL ID. Can I do this online? A: As of March 23, 2020, the federal government has extended the REAL ID enforcement date to October 1, 2021. However, an in-person field office visit is still required to complete your application for a REAL ID. To limit the amount of time spent in a DMV office and to best prepare for your DMV visit, customers should start their REAL ID application online and use the REAL ID checklist to make sure they have the correct identification documents. The applicant can then upload their documents before coming to the office. After completing the online application and uploading identification documents, the applicant will receive a confirmation code that will be stored for up to one year which DMV employees can quickly access when they visit the DMV office – no appointment is needed. Learn more so you can be ready when the time is right for you to get a REAL ID at www. dmv.ca.gov. You may also renew an expiring license online and get a REAL ID at a later time. For more information or answers to questions not listed here, please visit www. dmv.ca.gov.

Letters to the Editor Well done

the airfare. So, at the BCRAA’s virtual board meeting Feb. 18, the community made itself heard – local business investor Adam Goldstein popped in with a detailed presentation on the fare, business and convenience implications of the change, and about 15 area residents provided letters/ emails/comments. The sentiment was overwhelmingly in favor of Oakland. And the commissioners responded. Even those who had originally supported the Sacramento proposal changed their minds in light of what they were hearing. So, cheers to Gerry Hemmingsen, Gary Milliman, John Herzog, Chris Howard, Dale Miller, Alex Campbell and Jeri Thompson for listening to your constituents and preserving the Bay Area air connection we were so happy to have Contour restore in 2018. When I take my regular seat next month for the exceptionally comfortable flight from CEC to OAK, I’ll be celebrating your commitment to public service. Mike Gaynes Brookings

Public Notices *** Use Permit Amendment for a Planned Community - The applicant proposes to increase the permitted density of its 9.95-acre planned community single-family residential subdivision to allow for multiple-family dwelling units. The current planned community entitlement is comprised of 56 singlefamily residential lots, with six of them currently developed with single-family units. The currently permitted density of the subdivision is 5.63 units per acre. The proposed project includes 44 new duplex units, 5 new three-plex units, and the existing 6 singlefamily units, creating a total gross density of 10.95 units per acre. The project also includes a small recreation center for tenants on one of the lots. Other standards normally established in a planned community, such as setbacks, lot coverage, building height, etc. are not proposed to change significantly. Residences would not be constructed above 35 feet in total height. The property is served by a private sewer system that connects to the County Service Area #1 (CSA). City water service is provided. Surface drainage is accounted for in the project proposal. UP2112A - APN 116310-etc. located at Summer Lane, Crescent City. *** Rezone to Planned Community and Use Permit for a Planned Community - The applicant proposes to amend the zoning of a parcel zoned Forest and Recreation/Commercial Recreation to Planned Community. The application also includes a use permit to implement the Planned Community as required in County Code. The project would consist of constructing five residences as a dwelling group on a parcel owned by the Yurok Indian Housing Authority. The Planned Community would consist of the long-term, low-income tribal housing as well as an access road, shared sewage disposal area and a well for water. R2102 and UP2110 - APN 127-070-017 located at 15580 US Highway 101, Klamath. *** Rezone to Neighborhood Commercial and Use Permit for Storage Units in a C-1 Zone The applicant proposes to amend the zoning of a parcel currently zoned Single Family Residential 6,000 sq ft minimum lot size. The property currently contains legal but non-conforming commercial use, as does the entire block. The application also includes a use permit to permit the use of the property for commercial storage activity. The project would consist of constructing a new 2,400 square-foot warehouse that will rented by contractors or others for storage. The building is proposed to consist of four separate bays that would be accessed off Macken Avenue. The project would be served by public water and sewer service. R2101 and UP2003 - APN 120-280-018 located at 205 Meridian Street, Crescent City. *** Rezone from Timber Preserve to Rural Residential, 3 acre minimum and General Plan Amendment from Timberland to Rural Residential, 1 dwelling unit per 3 acres - The applicant proposes to amend the zoning and land use designation of approximately 212 acres of a property used as commercial timberland to a property that could support rural residential use in the future. The rezone is proposed as a “ten-year rollout” meaning the redesignation of land use from timber harvest to residential use would not take place until ten years after the Board of Supervisors approves the project. The Planning Commission is first required to review and make a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. The project does not include a subdivision to create legal lots, but rather sets up the land use and zoning for such an action in the future. The land is not served by public water or sewer and would rely on on-site systems. The application includes many special studies to support the environmental review. R2001/ GPA2001 - APN 106-021-074 and 076 located at Wonder Stump Road at intersection with US Highway 101, Crescent City.

2021 marks the 18th year of volunteers removing European beachgrass at Big Dune nan-ts’vn (mountain in Tolowa Dee-ni’) in Tolowa Dunes State Park, where state parks staff recruited Donna Thompson, John Mertes, Susan Calla and others to begin this habitat restoration so long ago. More than 30 acres of rare native dune habitat have been restored by volunteers only. Looking at photos from a recent cleanup and to the south and west you can see the completed work. To the north, some sparser beachgrass still lies ahead. Best of all, native dune plants are returning, showing the foundation of native life in the moving, living sand. Volunteer Roger Niesen walked much of the restored area on Sunday and found very few resprouts of the European beachgrass. Amazingly, the presumably endemic/ endangered Tolowa Coast Wallflower is spontaneously coming up everywhere the European grass has been removed. Please consider joining in March or April to see the dune covered with tiny brilliant points of blooming sunlight. If you would like to support the volunteer work of Tolowa Dunes stewards, visit https://redwoodparksconservancy. org/tolowa-dunes-stewards.

Wood Introduces Priority Health Care Package Last week, Assemblymember Jim Wood, who represents Del Norte County, introduced a package of bills to address health care affordability, access, equity, quality and cost containment. “This trifecta of legislation is the most comprehensive bill package I have authored since being elected to the Assembly in 2014,” said Wood. “Creating the Office of Health Care Affordability, establishing a statewide health information exchange and creating a process for the state to assess the impact of health care consolidation and other marketplace practices are essential and fundamental to creating a sustainable and equitable universal health care model.” AB 1130 will establish the Office of Health Care Affordability. A 2020 California Health Care Foundation poll found that 84 percent of Californians surveyed identified health care affordability as an extremely or very important issue to them. “The creation of this office will be a true partnership with Governor Newsom and his administration,” said Wood. “We absolutely have the same goals and working

together on behalf of all Californians is something I look forward to.” The office will be charged with analyzing the health care market for cost trends and drivers of spending, establishing cost targets and enforcing those targets. It requires reporting of total health care expenditure data by service categories such as hospital care, physician services and prescription drugs. Incorporated into this data will be financial reports from providers and detailed claims data from the recently created Health Care Payments Data System. “It will be impossible to reach the goal of providing equitable, quality health care to every Californian without making it affordable, and that must include containing costs,” said Wood. “This office will not only do the work of analyzing current costs, establishing cost targets and ensuring compliance with those targets, but will also measure quality and equity.” AB 1131 will create a comprehensive, statewide Health Information Exchange. This exchange will contain, track and securely share patients’ complete med-

ical histories. The benefits of a centralized HIE system include unifying records from many different sources so providers and patients can access a single unified and comprehensive view of a patient record. This helps in reducing medication and medical errors, preventing redundant testing, eliminating unnecessary paperwork and improving public health reporting and monitoring. “Everyone can understand the logic and benefits behind establishing a statewide information exchange so that patients can be assured that health care providers have all the information they need to provide the very best treatment, no matter what their coverage is or where they happen to be at the time they need the care,” said Wood. “You can get tons of information on a person’s activities and exploits through social media, but if you need to access a person’s comprehensive medical record quickly so that you can treat them in an emergency, good luck.” AB 1132 will create a process to assess the impact of health care consolidation, market influence and other health care marketplace practices on rising health care costs. Research has shown that higher prices for health care services can be the result of market consolidation among health plans, hospitals, medical groups or physician organizations, pharmacy benefit managers and others. “We need more transparency and information regarding these market activities,” said Wood. “We’ve got to ensure that consolidation and other marketplace practices benefit patients and reduce the cost of health care, not increase corporate profits.” “This is my most important work to date, and everything I have accomplished up to this point has given me the experience and background to undertake what I believe can lead us to the goal of health care for all Californians,” said Wood.

members can be chosen every year. “It was really an in-depth group of applicants,” Wier said. “However, the mayor can only choose five.” After the discussion, Councilman Blake Inscore made a motion to approve the candidates and Isaiah Wright seconded the motion. Inscore, Wright and Greenough voted yes while Councilman Beau Smith and Mayor Pro Tem Alex Campbell voted no. Wier said the committee would first meet this month to get a close look at the police department and would meet in March to look at streets.
