Thank you. fair. A lot of people depend on the wood-burning stoves for their heat, even for cooking. So then I started, when I went back into all the research that I've done, I've spent countless hours going over this with the manufacturer, and then I'm cross-refer encing things. I even went into the letter that we received from the doctors and scientists, and I went in there and I broke down all the stuff that it's saying, and then I went into what does the EPA actually say and the who, what is the World Health Organization saying about the stuff that's in these articles. So I'm going back, cross-referencing, doing all this stuff, and I see in there, okay, well, they're talking about these two articles of one down in Mendocino, and they're having problems, and it's a traditional stove. So I look at the website, yes , wood-burning stove. Actually, not that good. Correct. The next one that's just outside of San Francisco, or I'm sorry, up in Portland, same situation, where they're burning daily just with a normal sauna wood-burning stove. So then it just goes back. I think what this really comes down to for me now is, you know, there was a period from 2009 all the way through 2025 where the EPA was running a program called the Burnwise program, and they've done a lot of research, and we all know that the EPA is not perfect. It's not, not everything is there is, is, um, as direct and as true as it needs to be. But one thing that I did learn from that, and it just made me stand …

Thank you. the staff in the department. We are very excited to have her be part of our director team, and I'm happy to answer any other questions about the contract, if you have any, or about the appointment process. And I'd just like to add that we're really thrilled to have Jen as a potential candidate for this position, and that she's willing to take it on. She's worked with David Loya, our previous director, for a long period of time. Jen has an exceptional skill set. I think the council has all seen her skills. She has been a huge part of bringing a lot of different grants and programs to the city that without her, we wouldn't have had. I think she has the trust and confidence from staff, and that continuity is one of the things that we're really looking for with staff and with the community as well. So I couldn't be more pleased that Jen is willing to take it on, and I see she's here. If you do have any questions for her, too, but again, we're thrilled to be able to have somebody that's come up and worked with David, and to be able to take on this position on staff. Thank you for that, and I see some fingers poised to my right. Go ahead. Okay, I just, congratulations, Jen. When I was on the Economic Development Committee, you were the liaison, and I started working with you then, and I've just appreciated your thoroughness and your dedication to the city.

Thank you. Thank you, Chief and good evening, Thank you. the solution requesting that you consider it and hopefully adopt it on their behalf. So the methodology and approach, so first of all, a fee program by its nature is designed to recover some type of costs.

And it's called an existing facility standard methodology.

That's what's being provided today. And then in order to maintain that the service level that they have today, that determines the fee that would be charged on new residential development. And so it's a, that, that it establishes a ratio and it's a complicated ratio. And I'm happy to get into the weeds on that …

Thank you. that we are located on are the unceded ancestral lands of the Wiat tribe. The land that Arcata rests on is known in the Wiat language as Guudini, meaning over in the woods or among the redwoods. Past actions by local, state, and federal governments remove the Wiat and other indigenous peoples from the land and threaten to destroy their cultural practices. The city of Arcata acknowledges the Wiat community, their elders, both past and present, as well as future generations. This acknowledgment seeks to aid in dismantling the legacy narratives of settler colonialism. Next, we'll begin with a roll call. Staff, will you please call roll? Yeah, Commissioner Lehman? Here.

Our friends in engineering are running that, so feel free to reach out to me. I'll connect you with them or reach out directly to our engineering division.

Does anyone have any clarifying questions ? David, one of the conditions of approval requires a submitt al of a landscaping plan. Why was that, are there schematics that, like, is that going to be on the frontage, or what do we anticipate, where do we anticipate the landscaping going? Yeah, I think, you know, Kelsey had the majority of the conversations with the applicant before she, um, before she left us.
