At the Feb. 3 meeting, the Board moved forward with developing ordinances for short-term rentals and low-intensity camping. Some of the key issues with short-term rentals are that the owner or manager of the property must be readily accessible, rentals on private roads would have a higher level of oversight, code violations will include fines, and after three violations, you’re out of the program.
The State passed a law allowing low-intensity camping, “HipCamps,” etc., if a county so chooses. This is for 9 or fewer campsites on a property. The Board wants to limit this program to no more than 100 permits. People have been using these camping platforms for quite a while with no regulation or fees/taxes collected. The Board has sent the proposed ordinance to the Planning Commission before returning to the Board for final approval.
In my first years on the Board, there was a lot of talk concerning the fiscal health of the Mendocino County Employees’ pension fund. The unfunded liabilities were high, which required action. The MCERA (Mendocino County Employees Retirement Association) Board took action that put the financing on a more solid, conservative approach. The latest actuarial report showed that the MCERA fund has over $800 million in assets, that its unfunded liabilities are decreasing, and that the fund is projected to meet its goal of eliminating those liabilities. The next MCERA meeting will be in Willits on Feb. 18 at 8:30 in the Wonacott Room of the Mendocino County Museum.
The ambulance service in the County hangs by a thread. Of particular concern are outlying areas that might not have enough Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs). Since the entire county’s ambulance service is interconnected, if one goes down, the others must cover. County staff and I held a meeting in Covelo last summer to discuss some of the issues and fixes. We had great collaboration from Coastal Valleys Emergency Medical Services Agency, CalFire, fire departments, ambulance providers, and the community. The situation was dire. Some of the fixes include the Round Valley Health Clinic now receiving low-acuity ambulance patients and an EMT class in Covelo graduating 9 students. Once the graduates receive their course completion certificate, they will be in good standing to take the National Registry exam for final certification. Problems get solved when we work together.
