Weekly Update #15 - April 12, 2022

Posted on April 13, 2022 at 10:55 PM Comments comments ()
Hey friends! I’m Mo Mulheren Second District Supervisor for the County of Mendocino. Each week I put out a written report of the projects I’ve been working on and meetings I’ve been attending. This is a brief summary, or highlights if you will, just to let people know the topics that I am working on and if you are interested give you the opportunity to connect with me about these topics.

This week I had the monthly County City 2nd District Meeting. It’s important that we keep an open line of communication to be able to discuss what’s going on. The City is going to be undergoing renovations of Dora Street this summer and will have a public meeting about the future of the Orr Street Bridge. Please visit their website at CityOfUkiah.Com/Streets

I am embarking on the CSAC Leadership Initiative and last week there was a meeting held in Ukiah about understanding budgets for County Government. The class has people from Lake County and Mendocino County, it was great to be able to meet in person and network. Although they went through the information quickly it was still a valuable exercise. The most important thing to me is that we spend the publics money wisely and that everything is transparent. 

On Saturday I did the RV Rancheria Spirit Run. It was great to see everyone out and about smiling and having a healthy activity to connect with. 

Here are the videos uploaded to the County YouTube page in case you’ve missed them: 



Not too many meetings on my agenda this week, but I did have a chance to go back and review some of the MCD Meetings

As always if you have any questions please feel free to text me 707-391-3664 or send me an email [email protected]

Hey friends! I’m Mo Mulheren Second District Supervisor for the County of Mendocino. Each week I put out a written report of the projects I’ve been working on and meetings I’ve been attending. This is a brief summary, or highlights if you will, just to let people know the topics that I am working on and if you are interested give you the opportunity to connect with me about these topics.

 

On Wednesday morning I had an Interview with KZYX about the two suspected murders in Ukiah. We have a lot of work to do as a community around homelessness and mental health. I would like to discuss this anytime and hope you will come to my next Zoom meeting on Thursday at 7:15a-7:45a

I had a meeting about Public Health and Prevention programs.

At our MTA meeting we continued to discuss capturing various grant funds and trying to improve services to our community. Do you ride the MTA? What are your thoughts?

I was invited to a Courthouse Meeting about the new Courthouse. Its exciting to hear that this project is moving forward. There will be more to come about the design of the Courthouse and community meetings as well as what to do with the "current" Courthouse.

 

We had a meeting on Friday morning about the grant with CDBG for a Covelo Clean Up. This is one of those things where the wheels of Government turn slowly. When I was visiting Covelo early in 2021 about cannabis I noticed how many abandoned vehicles and illegal dumping there was. When I was meeting with the City Manager of Ukiah he recommended that the County try to get a CDBG Grant to clean it up. It looks like we are going to receive about half of the amount requested so we met to talk about what we could do with those funds and how to help get the area cleaned up.

I also volunteered at the iEmpathize Apathy Event. Its eye opening to hear personal stories about sex trafficking in Mendocino County. If you missed this event please look at their website to learn more. https://iempathize.org/

In the afternoon I had a GRT Meeting with interested party about how the Great Redwood Trail is working in Ukiah and what should be expected as the project is built out. I always tell people the key is engagement so I hope that you all will stay engaged!

 

MCAFD meeting in Anderson Valley we discussed the upcoming public meeting with LAFCO for the CSA 3 as well as how we could find funding for ambulance service.

In the evening I hosted the First Friday Art Walk and visited a new business soft opening on School Street in Ukiah.

 

Saturday afternoon I had a coffee meeting re industry in Mendocino County and how the Board of Supervisors could support local businesses.

 

Of course on Sunday I spent a lot of time on Agenda Prep for the Monday LAFCO Meeting as well as the Board of Supervisors Meeting.

 

Monday we had a LAFCO meeting and discussed what the opportunities and challenges are with CSA3 and how the County of Mendocino could use them.

In the evening I listened in to the Ukiah Vecinios en accion meeting where they discussed the possibility of a park on the south end of town at Grace Hudson School and how they could work with the Ukiah School Board to achieve this.

 

Tuesday Board Meeting Outcomes, as always please remember this is not the official record but rather my notes as an individual Supervisor

Weekly Update #13 - March 29, 2022

Posted on April 5, 2022 at 6:00 PM Comments comments ()

Hey friends! I’m Mo Mulheren Second District Supervisor for the County of Mendocino. Each week I put out a written report of the projects I’ve been working on and meetings I’ve been attending. This is a brief summary, or highlights if you will, just to let people know the topics that I am working on and if you are interested give you the opportunity to connect with me about these topics.

 

At the Behavioral Health Advisory Board we received and discussed the 2021 Dashboards regarding mental health. Here is the link so you can take a look. https://www.mendocinocounty.org/home/showpublisheddocument/50004/637831395056030000

 

Every Thursday morning I start my day with something I call Coffee and Conversation. It is a half hour time where I am on Zoom so that you can come and chat with me about whatever you'd like to share. You can join in! Thursdays 7:15a-7:45a Zoom Meeting ID 7079548230 Password LOCAL707 I am also considering having a once a month in person meeting. Would you be interested in that? What day of the week or time would work for you?

I had a series of meetings that kept me busy with a variety of topics. Coffee about water in the Ukiah Valley; A Zoom meeting about the CEO/CAO; Discussion that needs to come back to the Board; I attended a Ukiah Women In Business Networking planning meeting. ; Tire and Mattress event planning; IWPC meeting with county Team regarding funding sources.

 

On Friday we had an On-site parks meeting at Indian Creek and Faulkner Parks in the Anderson Valley.

I was invited to attend the reception and dinner for the Redwood Empire division of the League of California Cities.

 

I just wanted to put in a plug; if you are not busy on Saturday don't forget to visit the Ukiah Farmers Market! They update their vendors list on their Facebook page every Friday! https://www.facebook.com/UkiahFarmersMarket

 

I'd like to also put in a random plug for clothing Swaps. It is a fun way to help the planet and refresh your wardrobe.

 

On Monday we had a BOS Closed Session Meeting.

I also had a Volunteer clean up program meeting.

 

On Tuesday the Board had an Evacuation Drill and a Technology Drill in Board Chambers in advance of our In-Person meeting coming on April 19th.

I also had an Earth Day Event Meeting. We will be doing clean up and painting on the Great Redwood Trail. I hope you'll join in. Save the date. It will be April 23rd, more details will be on my Facebook page and my website.

 

Of course this is not an all inclusive list of the meetings I attend or work that I do, this is just to give you an idea of what I am working on so you can ask for an update of a topic that is interesting to you.

Hey friends! I’m Mo Mulheren Second District Supervisor for the County of Mendocino. Each week I put out a written report of the projects I’ve been working on and meetings I’ve been attending. This is a brief summary, or highlights if you will, just to let people know the topics that I am working on and if you are interested give you the opportunity to connect with me about these topics.

 

Wednesday afternoon I attended the Library Advisory Board meeting virtually. We received a report from all of the branches and the Board wanted to continue with the A-87 Ad Hoc to make sure that the Auditor was appropriately distributing the refund of expense to the library.

 

Wednesday evening the Ukiah City Council met and discussed the new trail in Low Gap Park, conducted a garbage rate hearing and introduced three ordinances for a change in the shopping cart ordinance, an efficient landscape ordinance and a procedure for expediting electric vehicle charging systems. You can watch the full meeting on the City website at CityOfUkiah.Com

 

Of course every Thursday morning I start my day with Coffee and Conversation on Zoom. We can discuss whatever topic people bring . The Meeting ID is 7079548230 and the Password is LOCAL707 if you have questions or something on your mind just hop in and we can chat.

The Third Thursday of the month we have the Mendocino Business and Government Leaders meeting. This originally started as ways to support businesses through Covid and now we discuss a variety of issues. Dr Coren was in the meeting to handle any questions electeds or the City Managers might have. I hope we are able to work together if there are more variants to hand the them safely while considering the businesses in our community and their needs.

We had our regular MSWMA (MendoRecycle) meeting. Tom Varga the Interim GM reported that the job is flying and so far have not had any interested candidates. We discussed a reimbursement fund for volunteers that clean up roadside trash and the ability to have Probationers and Inmates back to help for clean ups this summer.

As the Chair of the RRWA we have a quarterly meeting with the RWQCB to discuss any needs that might be arising within the agencies.

I had a great meeting with the Volunteer Network about organizing youth volunteers in the City to clean up litter and graffiti. Hope to have more info soon.

After that I had Interview with Grand Jury about a variety of topics. I love those folks. I’m a real straight shooter so I appreciate their questions. (Did you know you can ask me questions anytime on social media, on my Zoom or by scheduling an appointment? I love to chat about local government)

 

The Workforce Alliance of the North Bay meeting this week was cancelled due to lack of quorum.

On Friday evening I attended the Blue Zones Project Kick Off and Ribbon Cutting of the team’s new office at the Alex Rohrbaugh Center in South Ukiah.

 

Saturday was a great community event for the Kick-Off of the Blue Zones Project in Mendocino County. We had a great turn out of local health related non-profits and I got to do a fun demo of Country Fusion Line Dancing.

 

Sunday afternoon my youngest daughter and I attended the Women's History Celebration where three local women were honored for their work in healthcare in Mendocino County.

Weekly Update #11 - March 15, 2022

Hey friends! I’m Mo Mulheren Second District Supervisor for the County of Mendocino. Each week I put out a written report of the projects I’ve been working on and meetings I’ve been attending. This is a brief summary, or highlights if you will, just to let people know the topics that I am working on and if you are interested give you the opportunity to connect with me about these topics.

 

Wednesday afternoon I attended the Library Advisory Board meeting virtually. We received a report from all of the branches and the Board wanted to continue with the A-87 Ad Hoc to make sure that the Auditor was appropriately distributing the refund of expense to the library.

 

Wednesday evening the Ukiah City Council met and discussed the new trail in Low Gap Park, conducted a garbage rate hearing and introduced three ordinances for a change in the shopping cart ordinance, an efficient landscape ordinance and a procedure for expediting electric vehicle charging systems. You can watch the full meeting on the City website at CityOfUkiah.Com

 

Of course every Thursday morning I start my day with Coffee and Conversation on Zoom. We can discuss whatever topic people bring . The Meeting ID is 7079548230 and the Password is LOCAL707 if you have questions or something on your mind just hop in and we can chat.

The Third Thursday of the month we have the Mendocino Business and Government Leaders meeting. This originally started as ways to support businesses through Covid and now we discuss a variety of issues. Dr Coren was in the meeting to handle any questions electeds or the City Managers might have. I hope we are able to work together if there are more variants to hand the them safely while considering the businesses in our community and their needs.

We had our regular MSWMA (MendoRecycle) meeting. Tom Varga the Interim GM reported that the job is flying and so far have not had any interested candidates. We discussed a reimbursement fund for volunteers that clean up roadside trash and the ability to have Probationers and Inmates back to help for clean ups this summer.

As the Chair of the RRWA we have a quarterly meeting with the RWQCB to discuss any needs that might be arising within the agencies.

I had a great meeting with the Volunteer Network about organizing youth volunteers in the City to clean up litter and graffiti. Hope to have more info soon.

After that I had Interview with Grand Jury about a variety of topics. I love those folks. I’m a real straight shooter so I appreciate their questions. (Did you know you can ask me questions anytime on social media, on my Zoom or by scheduling an appointment? I love to chat about local government)

 

The Workforce Alliance of the North Bay meeting this week was cancelled due to lack of quorum.

On Friday evening I attended the Blue Zones Project Kick Off and Ribbon Cutting of the team’s new office at the Alex Rohrbaugh Center in South Ukiah.

 

Saturday was a great community event for the Kick-Off of the Blue Zones Project in Mendocino County. We had a great turn out of local health related non-profits and I got to do a fun demo of Country Fusion Line Dancing.

 

Sunday afternoon my youngest daughter and I attended the Women's History Celebration where three local women were honored for their work in healthcare in Mendocino County.

ADJOURNMENT

 

 

At the City of Ukiah City Council meeting on Wednesday night they discussed the Western Hills Open Land and development, mixed waste organic and a streets project for Dora Street. You can watch the video here: http://www.cityofukiah.com/meetings/

 

On Thursday morning I participated in a CSAC Leadership Initiative class called: Conscious Leadership. Some of the keys to Conscious Leadership include Self-Awareness, Visible Commitment, Personal Reflection and being Intentional. The presenter says “Becoming self-aware is the single most beneficial thing you can do to up your leadership style. This is the act of getting to know yourself not only as a leader but as a person.” This can sometimes be a challenge self-reflection can be hard but when you are aware of your thoughts, feelings and motives you can better monitor and manage them. When we got to the part about “Visible Commitment” I recognized myself in the statement, “you articulate authentic commitment to being a conscious and supportive leader, challenge the status quo, hold others accountable, and creating a positive and empowering experience for your team(s) is a personal priority.” When we talked about being Intentional we really dove in to being authentic. I always say, I have no one else to be but myself. So I guess I’ve got that covered, JUST KIDDING. I’m grateful for the opportunity to reflect and learn other ways to become a better leader.

 

In between meetings I briefly hopped in to the Emergency Medical Care Committee meeting on Zoom. I’m looking forward to being more engaged in this conversation. Ambulance service is so critical in rural communities and we have a lot of work to do in Mendocino County.

I had a meeting at Manzanita Services, they are excited to bring a Mental Health Wellness Fair and series of seminars to our community. Make sure that you follow them on Facebook for updates: https://www.facebook.com/ManzanitaServices

I also had a meeting at the Ukiah Recovery Center about an opportunity to expand services. If you know someone that is struggling with addiction please have them reach out to County SUDT or the Ukiah Recovery Center to seek placement.

 

On Friday morning I went to the MCAFD meeting in Anderson Valley. We discussed the options available for possibly using CSA3 funding and the thoughts from the Chief's meeting regarding a County wide Fire Warden's Office.

I did an Earth Day Planning Meeting with the City of Ukiah and Walk and Bike Mendocino. More info coming soon but save the date for April 23rd

 

On Saturday morning I went to the Ackerman Creek Clean up with South Ukiah Rotary. The clean up was half homeless trash and half household trash that people had dumped over the bridge.

 

This isn't Supervisor related but I wanted to say its awesome to have in person events again; this weekend I hosted the First Friday Art Walk, went to an Anniversary party for a local salon at Rivino, and to Live music at McCarty's in Redwood Valley. Its going to be a busy summer!

 

LAFCO - a year of working together with the City and UVSD has provided a lot more collaboration and opportunities to move forward. Direction given to LAFCO staff to work with UVSD and City of Ukiah for out of area service agreements for the area near the Brush Street Triangle

 

We were able to have a Mental Health Ad Hoc meeting and we have data for three years and want a little more data before it goes to the Board but we have the information we believe that the public has been wanting to see.

 

I'm sorry this weekly summary was delayed. I was cruising to Comptche and Sacramento. I'll tell you about it next week!

The MTA continues to try and seek grant funds to create an electric fleet as well as update solar array to be able to support more electric busses.

I was able to hop in to the Russian River Confluence meeting, I am trying to seek the appropriate tribal representatives to also attend these meetings. Here is the link to the website if you know someone please send them my way! http://russianriverconfluence.org/

 

On Thursday morning I missed my Coffee and Conversation meeting in order to attend the South Ukiah Rotary to discuss trash. We had a great conversation about new ways to get household trash illegal dumping cleaned up and I was able to tell them about my homeless trash program.

Over the weekend I reviewed our agenda, helped my mom move out of her house and then both nights attended and taught line dance class at the SPACE dance party. SPACE (School for Performing Arts) had two full days of dance lessons and then an evening of social dance. My pre-teen even let me hang out with her a little. I love busy weekends and keep an eye out on my personal pages for updates on SPACE's efforts to bring social dance to our community.

 

I continue to monitor the Stepping Up Initiative and their efforts to break down silos and create a data base to share information about clients between jail, mental health and courts. Its very important that we set these community members up for success as they are released back out in to the public.

 

You may have noticed that there was an update about ecomment on the County website and how items are processed from Atlas our Clerk of the Board. You can create an account and upload your comments and documents yourself directly from our website. This will streamline efforts on behalf of County staff but also ensure that you can see for yourself that your documents and comments were entered in to the public record.

Weekly Update #8 - February 22, 2022

Posted on February 23, 2022 at 9:00 PM Comments comments ()
Hi I’m Mo Mulheren, the Second District Supervisor. Each week I issue a written report about some of the projects I’m working on and the meetings I attend. This is not a comprehensive list of my activities but meant to give you some ideas about topics that I am working on that might be of interest to you.

Meetings you might have missed on the Mendocino County Video YouTube page:


I usually catch up with the Ukiah City Council Meetings after the fact but on Wednesday I caught the meeting live. You can watch City Council meetings online here: http://www.cityofukiah.com/meetings/

Every Thursday morning I start my day with a meeting I call Coffee and Conversation. I hope you’ll take the time to join and discuss whatever is on your mind. The meeting ID is 7079548230 and the Password is LOCAL707 (I won’t be online this week 2/24 as I will be speaking in person at South Ukiah Rotary)

At our monthly Mendocino Business and Government Leaders we discussed the next steps out of the Covid pandemic, current case and vaccine rates. There will be some changes to the formatting of the data to provide current information that is relevant to where we are in the pandemic. 

The monthly meeting of MSWMA had a fairly light agenda with an update from the Interim District Manager. Here is the link to the job description which the City of Fort Bragg is helping advertise for: https://fortbragg.applicantpro.com/jobs/2232916.html

On Friday I met with Judy Morris and Supervisor Haschak on Zoom with Congressman Huffman.

Over the weekend I didn’t do any activities beyond checking emails and responding to folks on Facebook. It was nice to have a weekend to get caught up on household and office chores, I took a friend on a hike at Lake Mendocino and got to spend a full day with my granddaughter. 

I spent some time on Monday picking up and hauling trash. If you would like to help volunteer for a community trash pick up, to pick up homeless trash at various locations or clean up a park please send me your email address and I’ll make sure you get notified. Many hands make light work! 

Of course this is not an all inclusive list of the meetings I attend or work that I do, this is just to give you an idea of what I am working on so you can ask for an update of a topic that is interesting to you. 

I am always available by cell phone 707-391-3664 or by email at [email protected]

Hi I’m Mo Mulheren, the Second District Supervisor. Each week I issue a written report about some of the projects I’m working on and the meetings I attend. This is not a comprehensive list of my activities but meant to give you some ideas about topics that I am working on that might be of interest to you.

I went to the B2 Stakeholders meeting via Zoom. There weren’t many agencies present but Sage let me discuss the trash program. For those of you that haven’t read the other updates we have begun a homeless trash program where we are able to hav folks bag the trash from their campsite and leave it at selected locations so we can pick it up and take it to the transfer station. Also B2 is Building Bridges, they have been hosting these meetings since they opened the emergency winter shelter. I try to attend if I don’t have conflicting meetings. 

I had my Mendocino County Water Agency Interview with GEI the consultants that were hired to work out a plan for the water agency. I think collaboration and being able to leverage the State and County dollars should be a focus. We need to look at consolidation, water storage and efficient uses of our water rights. There will be more about this so please make sure you follow my Facebook page for updates. 

I attended the virtual County of Mendocino Cannabis Program Update. I heard many times how it was the best meeting we’ve had yet. Kristen our Cannabis Program Director was able to address some of the frequently asked questions that have come up. I highly recommend you use Canna Notes on the Mendocino County webpage to sign up as well to learn more about what is coming up next. Here is the link to sign up. 

Every Thursday morning I start my day with Coffee and Conversation. Although I was on the road so I was in a Target parking lot. We had a good conversation about County Boards and Commissions, Cannabis and communication. You are always welcome to join me on Zoom. Thursday mornings at 7:15a to 7:45am Meeting ID 7079548230 Password LOCAL707

We had what will be our last Monthly Parks Ad Hoc Committee Meeting. The presentation will come to the Board sometime in March. Spoiler alert we don’t have enough money. So the Board will have to talk about prioritization and how important our parks are to our community. I’ll post more info about the agenda item when it gets closer. 

I visited the Willits Rotary virtual lunch meeting to talk about the Homeless trash pick up program and if they might be interested getting something similar started in Willits. 

I am the alternate on the Ukiah Valley Basin Groundwater Sustainability Agency. This week I didn’t have any conflicting meetings so I went to listen in. They chose West Yost to do the Administrative Services. I work with them on the Russian River Watershed Association I think they will do a good job for the agency. Larry Walker and Associates received feedback from the Board on the First Annual Report Implementation of the Groundwater Sustainability Plan. I’ll share more information as reports become available. These are good first steps in gathering data on water availability. 

On Friday morning I attended the Leadership Mendocino meeting. I graduated last year and really love this program. It’s always interesting to talk about this job a year in to it. I certainly see things differently from the inside now that I’m a Supe. Increased transparency and collaboration remain top goals. The Board is trying to do new things and I love any opportunity to talk to people about getting out of our comfort zones. Their debate topic for their meeting was the Great Redwood Trail. That’s one project that before I was on the City Council I didn’t really understand the need or how it would work in Ukiah. Now that it is a piece of a much bigger picture its a great opportunity to create something that’s going to work for our unique community. 

I had lunch with Senator McGuire. We talked about his new role in the Senate, how my first year was going and of course the importance of collaboration with the State and Counties. No one understands this more than McGuire. He’s really worked his way up through the ranks. The North Coast is lucky to have him. 

On Saturday morning I was able to clean up with Noble Wadelich our Ukiah Chief of Police and Joe Dishman. We tackled a large mound of trash on Brush Street. It was a combination of trash from homeless folks and people dumping off trash. I have a photo on my Facebook but it turned out to be 2,880 lbs of trash. I was so grateful that Chief Wadelich brought his personal pick up and dump trailer to help haul it off. I am going by on a more regular basis to make sure that it stays free of trash. 

This year I chose to attend the NACO Conference Virtually. 
Here is the link to the NACO News website so you can read all of the articles about the conference but here are some of the sessions that I attended. https://www.naco.org/news
The focus of the Sunday morning Rural Action Caucus Meeting- operating and maintenance costs of electric vehicles is lower but the cost to buy one is more expensive and there are concerns about the ability to provide the infrastructure needed to support the movement towards electric vehicles. Lots of discussion about how Federal funding to build out infrastructure is going to be critical to Electric Vehicle priorities. 
While I was listening to a conversation on the Opioid epidemic one speaker was discussing our lack of discussion about Addiction sets our communities up for failure and there is currently studies of a test that will let you know if you are at high risk for addiction so you can consider that before taking pain killers. I wonder if that will help people make more informed medical decisions. 
I also attended the webinars; The Power of the Arts: Arts as an Economic Driver, General Session - US House of Reps Nancy Pelosi ,
Implementing Local Infrastructure Investments, General Session - President Biden 

As always this is not a complete list of the work I’ve done this week or the meetings I’ve attended. This is just a conversation starter. If you want to know more please reach out via email [email protected] or text me at 707-391-3664
Have an amazing day!

On Saturday morning I was able to clean up with Noble Wadelich our Ukiah Chief of Police and Joe Dishman. We tackled a large mound of trash on Brush Street. It was a combination of trash from homeless folks and people dumping off trash. I have a photo on my Facebook but it turned out to be 2,880 lbs of trash. I was so grateful that Chief Wadelich brought his personal pick up and dump trailer to help haul it off. I am going by on a more regular basis to make sure that it stays free of trash. 

This year I chose to attend the NACO Conference Virtually. 
Here is the link to the NACO News website so you can read all of the articles about the conference but here are some of the sessions that I attended. https://www.naco.org/news
The focus of the Sunday morning Rural Action Caucus Meeting- operating and maintenance costs of electric vehicles is lower but the cost to buy one is more expensive and there are concerns about the ability to provide the infrastructure needed to support the movement towards electric vehicles. Lots of discussion about how Federal funding to build out infrastructure is going to be critical to Electric Vehicle priorities. 
While I was listening to a conversation on the Opioid epidemic one speaker was discussing our lack of discussion about Addiction sets our communities up for failure and there is currently studies of a test that will let you know if you are at high risk for addiction so you can consider that before taking pain killers. I wonder if that will help people make more informed medical decisions. 
I also attended the webinars; The Power of the Arts: Arts as an Economic Driver, General Session - US House of Reps Nancy Pelosi ,
Implementing Local Infrastructure Investments, General Session - President Biden
