Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Mendocino County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
County Health Officer appointment
Supervisors privately discussed filling the County Health Officer position. No decision was announced, leaving the county's public health leadership question open.
Code enforcement priorities and neighborhood nuisances
The board kept life safety as the top code enforcement priority and added law-enforcement referrals, but a 4-1 split revealed frustration that nuisance complaints — trash, junk, illegal occupancy — aren't being addressed fast enough with staffing down to two field officers.
Meadow Farm code enforcement fee waiver
The county waived about $9,000 in building-permit penalties for the Fort Bragg nonprofit so it can afford permits to fix inherited code violations; one supervisor warned about setting a precedent.
