ADA compliance construction results in temporary change in DA office hours

(Probation Department is also getting delayed work done) 

The Humboldt County District Attorney's office sent out a press release about a temporary change in hours. Based on the snail's pace and delays in other compliance related projects at the Courthouse, the DA, I doubt the September 30 deadline. If you are in downtown Eureka, you have probably seen workets fixing the roof in the building on the corner of 6th and H where Adult Probation is located. 

Maybe Rexy and Bushnell shouldn't have given million dollars to their buddies at the Fairground and taken care of other compliance issues for essential County offices earlier and given a damn about County employees. The County rents plenty of buildings from the good ole boys. Why aren't these buildings up to code? Larry Doss is co-owner of the building where Conflict Counsel will be moving too when construction is completed. When I reported on that agenda item before that location was approved, I mentioned the building was not ADA accessible. That was one of the issues.

DA Press Release:

On August 12, 2024, the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office construction is slated to begin for facility upgrades in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). 

Normal operations will continue as minimal disruption to office operations is anticipated. However, front office reception and telephone hours will close one hour early to allow staff adequate time to perform all necessary duties during the construction period.

Therefore, effective August 12, Monday through Friday, the District Attorney’s Office hours will be:

8 a.m. to 3 p.m. (closed Noon -1 p.m. for lunch)

On September 30, we expect to return to our normal office hours of being open until 4 p.m.

Please feel free to contact the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office should you have any questions or need additional information about the above at 707-445-7411, or districtattorney@co.humboldt.ca.us.

We thank you for your patience and understanding.
