So many people from Kernen Construction here for BOS meeting that it created a safety hazard

So many people from Kernen Construction showed up for today's Board of Supervisor meeting that Clerk of the Board Tracy D'Amico and 5th street security had to tell them not to block people leaving the Courthouse on the 5th street side and that being out in the hallway was a safety hazard. 

Harland Law Firm partner, Ms. Allison Jackson, was at the meeting. Ming Tree owner Larry Doss was there listening to the presentation in the hallway.

Still more people coming in; some are in chambers now; others in the "overflow room." It is at capacity in the BOS chambers. Thank you to Ms. D'Amico for making space for media to be in chambers. I asked on behalf of myself and Lost Coast Outpost's Ryan Burns but I don't know where he went. There were two spaces and only I took her up on the offer.

Slight delay in this item being called. Technical difficulties. First District Supervisor Rex Bohn said "there was an electrical issue over the weekend that has affected some of the equipment."

10:56 a.m. Kernen has made a settlement offer. The item maybe continued to January 7. Director Ford asked for the continuance so staff could research and see if the offer was feasible. Director Ford mentioned the replacement of the culvert.

Supervisor Bohn is allowing some public comment as recommended by Planning and Building Director John Ford, which was limited to two minutes. This was a reminder of the sign placed outside. 

12:18 Item just continued. Kernen construction in agreement. Second District Supervisor Michelle Bushnell asked for clarification from Director Ford, that the Supervisors were not shutting Kernen Construction down. Continued to February 4.

North McKay Ranch Subdivision was the agenda item before Kernen Construction and it passed unanimously with 5 votes. Third District Supervisor Mike Wilson made the motion; the second was by Fourth District Supervisor Arroyo. Humboldt Planning Commissioner Thomas Mulder spoke in favor of the Mckay item during public comment clarifying he was speaking as an individual.
