Two weeks into their renewed contract with the Crescent City Harbor District, representatives of Community System Solutions will lead a workshop and a tour of the port on Wednesday.
CSS representatives will be joined by Moffat & Nichol project managers and Steve Opp, managing director for Commercial Real Estate Development Enterprises, or CREDE.
The workshop’s goal is to provide commissioners and the public a “complete overview” of the construction projects underway at the harbor and to help the Harbor District Board figure out how to spend $1 million in leftover federal Hazard Mitigation Grant Program dollars.

Negotiations between Del Norte Unified School District and the union that represents its classified employees are set to start over after members of the union’s local chapter rejected a tentative agreement.
The rejection of the proposed agreement between DNUSD and the California School Employees Association Great Northern Chapter #178 comes as contract discussions between the district and the Del Norte Teachers Association head toward mediation.
It also prompted Jenna Lussier, lead negotiator for CSEA Great Northern #178, to step down from the union’s negotiating team.

Hilda Yepes Contreras fought back tears as she described how anti-immigration rhetoric during the first Trump administration reached her family.
“My grandson, he was 8 and he was in school and kids went up to him and said that he needed to go back to Mexico,” she said. “And he said, ‘But I don’t live there. I live here.’ And they said, ‘Well, you need to go back or you’re going to get your head cut off.’”
Speaking to more than 100 people at the Crescent City Cultural Center on Saturday — ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s second inauguration — Yepes Contreras said her family wasn’t alone in enduring the racist rhetoric that was the norm the last time Trump was in the White House.

Crescent City Harbor commissioners hadn’t gotten that far in their agenda last Tuesday when Board President Gerhard Weber asked a public commenter to leave.
The commenter, Alicia Williams, had stepped up to the podium a second time seeking to rebut statements a previous speaker had made concerning invocations at public meetings. She refused to step down after Weber reminded her multiple times that she had already spoken.
Weber wound up telling Williams to leave, saying she was disrupting the meeting.
