Among the items discussed at Tuesday’s Del Norte County Board of Supervisors meeting:
Aegis Treatment Center: County supervisors backed efforts from a medicated-assisted addiction treatment provider to open a brick and mortar clinic in Del Norte County.
District 2 Supervisor Valerie Starkey, who is part of the Reaching Rural Initiative to open a mobile MAT program in Del Norte, asked her colleagues to approve a letter of support for Aegis Treatment Center. Currently, those receiving medicated-assisted addiction treatment have to travel back and forth from Humboldt County for that treatment, she said, noting that the round-trip takes about four hours.
Public Agencies Retirement Service representative Matt Spooner repeated a comment he made to county supervisors a month ago, that a Section 115 Trust with his firm was a “savings account on steroids.”
But contrary to a statement one supervisor made at the Jan. 14 meeting, Spooner, County Administrative Officer Neal Lopez and District 5 representative Dean Wilson said Tuesday that Del Norte couldn’t use dollars it places in that trust for anything other than meeting its pension and other post-employment benefit obligations.
Yet, supervisors Valery Starkey and Darrin Short still sought guidance on how the trust funds could be used. Starkey said that any proposal to access money in the Section 115 Trust should come before the Board of Supervisors and be approved with a 4/5ths vote. That way the public could weigh in, she said.

Department of Health and Human Services Director Ranell Brown says a new 60-bed emergency homeless shelter should be finished by June and accepting individuals by September. | Image courtesy of Del Norte County
Efforts to create a pathway out of homelessness on Williams Drive are progressing now that rubble from the county’s old mental health building has been cleared.
In her first update to the Del Norte County Board of Supervisors since August, Department of Health and Human Services Director Ranell Brown said Tuesday the county has purchased container units for the restrooms and commercial kitchen that will serve the micro village and 60-bed emergency shelter. Contractors are expected to finish renovating a modular structure that will house the program’s wraparound supports next month.
Though the county still needs to finalize the agreement with a contractor to build the shelter, Brown said it should be finished by June, weather permitting. She told supervisors that DHHS staff and Del Norte Mission Possible representatives are confident the entire endeavor can be completed by the end of August.
