CELEBRATING

Sequoia Park Zoo hosts July MixerBy: Chelsa Green, Chamber Ambassador, Sequoia Park Zoo Foundation

Topping last summer’s experienceBy: Angelica Smullin, Chamber Summer Intern

Otters swam and the gibbons sang as guests began to arrive for the July mixer hosted at Sequoia Park Zoo.

As California’s oldest and one of the smallest AZA accredited zoos in the country, Sequoia Park Zoo is a favorite location for Eureka Chamber Mixers.

Beautiful weather allowed guests to mingle on the main lawn as they sipped on Lost Coast Brewery’s bestselling brews and sampled delicious appetizers from the Sequoia Park Zoo Cafe including sweet and sour meatballs, spanakopita, and chicken tenders.

Special guests included Eureka City Councilwoman Marian Brady, who is also the City Council liaison to the Zoo, and Barbara Groom, owner of Lost Coast Brewery. Julie Benbow, the Executive Director of the Sequoia Park Zoo Foundation said, “We are thrilled to pursue relationships with local businesses and showcase the wonderful additions and exciting transformations of the Zoo.”

I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to top last summer’s experience at the Chamber, but somehow my second summer here was even better than the first. I was excited and nervous to come back - excited because I assumed it would be much easier since I’d learned it all before, but nervous because I figured I had probably forgotten it all. In the end, it was a little of both. I had to relearn how to use the copier, and the fax machine, and the cash register, but I also was given a project to make my own “Humboldt County Tours” brochure that I hand out daily. I was also much better at communicating confidently with our many tourists. And oh boy, were there many. I finally could say, “It’s on the corner of 2nd & E” and not, “Uhhhh it’s next to my favorite coffee shop, and there’s that large tree outside, you know, the one, uh...Linda can you help me?”

I was given a unique opportunity this summer to continue research on the Chamber’s history and influence in Eureka for our 125th commemorative book. I spent many hours at the Times Standard, pouring through photos from the late 1940’s to present day. I even got to see my Granddad in a few. I learned how to use a Microfiche reader at the County Library, of which I am no expert, and attempted to identify people through a magnifying glass on a negative viewing light box at Swanlund’s. The book should be coming out in October, and I guarantee I’ll be the first to buy a copy.

And, as always, the tourists kept me busier than ever, as it seemed there were quite a few more coming through our doors than last summer. Most days we’d have a line of people waiting at the counter and the phone ringing on three different lines. Those days were challenging, but they were the most exciting too. People of all ages came into the Chamber office, from a very curious 8 year old boy, to groups of cyclists in their 20’s riding down the West Coast, to long retired couples seeing the north coast one redwood tree at a time. No story failed to surprise me or inspire me. I consider all of the tourists my new friends, as I’ve been lucky enough to play a small part

in their adventurous stories. One even called from Texas weeks after her visit to ask if she could add me on Facebook. Now I have friends in Texas.

So thank you for another wonderful experience at the Chamber of Commerce. My time here is always

too short. Maybe I’ll volunteer at the Davis Chamber; if so, I’ll most definitely tell them to venture up north to a great little town on the coast.

With sincere appreciation

This is a combination August and September newsletter. August Coast Guard appreciation month is now over. The City of Eureka is one of very few official Coast Guard Cities. As always we are happy to assist in the month’s activities just as they are always happy to assist all of us boaters.

Thank you Coast Guard.

A Samoa Cookhouse employee dropped in to rave on how appreciative the Cookhouse is for sending so many tourists their way and for promoting the area as well as we do. She said the tourists are always commenting about how informative our office is in promoting Eureka, its businesses and the surrounding area.

Thank you Samoa Cookhouse and thank you Chamber staff.

A Workplace Where We All Belong: Avoiding Implicit Bias & Diversifying Our Teams

Dear Fellow Eureka Business,I am writing all of you in an effort to encourage a more cohesive, coherent and business friendly direction for the Chamber. SN and our affiliates had dropped out of the Chamber as a reflection of our frustration with Chamber and its seeming inability to address the Eureka business community’s needs. However, rather than try to activate from outside the Chamber, we are going to rejoin the Chamber in an effort to change from within. We are active participants in other Chambers throughout the US. There is a formula for success. Eureka simply needs to follow it and tailor a Chamber that meets our needs. We are living in a time and place that will thrive if we simply follow other small town templates. To wit, I have several recommendations for the Chamber:

1. Have the Chamber work politically actively to address the concerns of businesses.

Getting involved in the CDI issue is a very logical issue for the Chamber. Has anyone met with the Coastal Commission? Any path to solution will go through them, so their early input is critical.

By Rob Arkley, Security National

I think that every downtown business, if not all businesses, is negatively impacted by the homeless. We have sat back and allowed the homeless service providers to be located and actually expand in the downtown business corridor. While the relative merits of any individual homeless service provider is subject to debate, I hope that we all agree that we now have a “cluster” of service providers in the downtown business district. The issue now is not whether they should be here. They are here. The issue is whether they should be able to physically expand, in any way. I would love to see the Chamber sponsor legislation to the City Council that was greatly restrict/eliminate the cluster’s ability to expand. I think that we all want a livable and walkable downtown. That is certainly what millennials want. Expansions by the cluster will only hurt us.

2. Let’s look at creating a proactive zoning and permitting process for new businesses. Currently, we have a process that is out of touch with today’s world. Decisions are made VERY quickly. If we can’t make our process quick, we will lose.

SN is in the process of planning and building at least 40,000 sq. ft. of office warehouse near the waterfront. I dread the process. We are also working with another local business landowner to ensure that our concepts and quality are consistent. However, we need to be able to get through the process more quickly.

3. Follow the leads of both Ken and Shelley and other younger members. They understand the rapidly changing world. Let’s open our arms to all businesses. Change is happening. Let’s embrace it. The Chamber should be more than a once a month mixer. Those are nice, but accomplish little.

Overall, this is a great time and even greater opportunity for Eureka. I envision a time when our waterfront and the overall atmosphere are the envy of the West Coast. Kids and young families want to be here. We are a great place to live and work. That is the course that I envision for our City. I want the Chamber to be a catalyst of that change.

Vty,

Rob

LACO Associates announces new strategy with new leadership

Northern California engineering and consulting firm LACO Associates (LACO) has announced recent changes within their management leadership. Mike Nelson, AICP, who joined LACO in 2007, is the newly elected President and Chief Executive Officer. Kara Clower returned to LACO as the Business Manager after a brief departure. Clower will be assisting the President with operational practices, administrative services, and training programs for the staff members.

To further develop staff teams and to support Christopher Watt with expanding the firm’s offers in the North Bay markets, Mike Nelson will be relocating to the Santa Rosa area with frequent visits to the Eureka office. Nelson will continue to be the Firm’s Director of Planning services; however, Beth Burks, AICP is now assuming full duties as Planning Manager, based out of the Eureka office.

Andrew Sundquist, PE and Rodney Wilburn, PE will be leading the Civil Engineering Departments in Eureka and Ukiah/Santa Rosa offices, respectively, with the support of Scott Kelly, PE as Interim Principal. Will Dawson and Bryan Holmes recently joined LACO’s Santa Rosa office as Senior Project Manager/Designer and Civil Senior Designer, respectively. Both Dawson and Holmes bring exciting skills to the firm and clients as LACO rapidly expands services in the North Bay.

With the new leadership and strong technical teams, LACO has a strong foundation to provide excellent service and continue to improve the quality of

life for generations to come. Mike Nelson expressed, “I am very enthusiastic about the future of LACO while building on our 60 year legacy. LACO is more prepared than ever to take on the complex challenges of planning, engineering, and geotechnical projects. With three offices, two fully-functional testing and inspections labs, and a well-rounded team of professionals, LACO has a unique ability to be a full-service firm from the feasibility stages of a project through entitlements, design, and construction. We are on track for expansion

in Santa Rosa and Ukiah, all while effectively holding our market share in Eureka. This is certainly an exciting and dynamic time for this firm.”

For more information, visit www.lacoassociates.com or phone 443-5054. LACO Associates, Inc. (LACO) is a multidisciplinary consulting firm providing integrated solutions for

development, infrastructure, and geo-environmental projects. LACO was founded in 1954, incorporated in 1972, and has offices in Eureka, Ukiah, and Santa Rosa, California.

Local Crisis in Industrial and Occupational MedicineBy Paul C. Windham, M.D.

It is no secret that Humboldt County has a severe shortage of primary care physicians. Less well known is that the same crisis is happening in occupational medicine, those who care for injured workers. Ten years ago many local primary care physicians would see injured workers and at least 20 physicians provided occupational medicine services. There are now only three providers in the county who can provide full services to injured workers to include permanent disability evaluations. As these providers age and retire, or move from the area, there is no one to replace them.

I have had many discussions about this with employers, insurance companies, and St. Joseph Hospital over the past four years. Everyone recognizes the problem but no one has a solution. Recruitment is the key, but no one has the will or the finances to go forward. St. Joseph’s is recruiting physicians in over 20 specialties but occupational medicine is not one of them. Mad River has not replaced Dr. Boni who retired from their occupational medicine clinic last November.

Our local businesses should get together and start a discussion about recruiting physicians to care for their injured workers. The Chamber of Commerce is an ideal forum. As a member of the Chamber I will help as much as I can. Let us find a solution before the system collapses.

The Eureka Chamber was honored to have not one, not two, but THREE hosts for the August Chamber Mixer; Recology, the Redwood Arts Association and Eureka Main Street all came together to promote their mutual goals of making and keeping Eureka livable and beautiful. Each organization also happens to be celebrating major milestones of their own. Linda Wise, Operations Manager of Recology, President of the Redwood Arts Association, and board member of Eureka Main Street was ecstatic to share the benchmarks these associations are coming up on.

Recology Humboldt County has provided refuse service to the City of Eureka for more than 40 years, constantly striving for a World Without Waste. This year they are celebrating their 30th year of being 100% employee owned. Recology is the largest employee-owned company in the industry and has been honored multiple times by the national Employee Stock Ownership Plan Association for the quality of its ownership program. The Redwood Arts Association is the oldest and largest art association in California. They are celebrating their 60th anniversary. If you haven’t been to their gallery on F & 6th in Eureka you may not know what an abundance of talented artists Humboldt County is home to. Many artists themselves were present at the mixer. Chamber member Jack Hopkins proudly stood by his award winning photograph, prominently exhibited in the gallery.

Eureka Main Street under the leadership of Executive Director Charlotte McDonald, has served as a liaison between business and property owners and the City of Eureka to find solutions to development problems since its inception. Eureka Main Street organizes some of our favorite local events including A Taste of Main Street, the Fourth of July celebration, Arts Alive!, and so much more. They are celebrating 25 years of promoting the unique character of Eureka.

Mandatory changes to Federal employment postings By Gail Cecchettini Whaley

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) just recently announced two mandatory poster changes.

Beginning August 1, 2016, employers must post updated versions of the Federal Minimum Wage poster and the Federal Employee Polygraph Protection Act poster.

Federal Minimum Wage Poster

Several mandatory changes were made to this poster, including:

• New information discussing the consequences of incorrectly classifying workers as independent contractors;

• New information relating to the rights of nursing mothers;

• Updated information regarding enforcement by the DOL; and

• Revised information relating to tip credits.

https://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/posters/flsa.htm

Federal Employee Polygraph Protection Act Poster

This poster was updated to reflect changes to the appropriate contact information for the DOL and to remove reference to the penalty amount for violation of the law.

https://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/posters/eppa.htm

Employers will need to update their posters.

CalChamber’s 2016 California and Federal Employment Notices Poster and 2016 Required Notices Kit will be updated with the revised federal notices.

Individuals who have never had, or who stopped using a checking account have a new reason to give banks a second look. U.S. Bank has introduced the Safe Debit Account, which offers key benefits of a traditional account without checks or overdraft fees. The Safe Debit Account provides a safe, affordable way for customers to deposit money, withdraw cash, pay bills and manage their account through mobile or online banking. The account comes with a debit card for in-person or online purchases. With a debit card and no checks, customers are able to be more in control of spending only what’s available in their accounts, with no risk of overdraft fees.

“More than 35 million Americans are not fully utilizing the banking system and are considered by the FDIC to be unbanked and underbanked. We believe there’s value in having a relationship with a bank that you can rely on as your needs change over a lifetime. The Safe Debit Account is a great way to start that relationship,” said Lynn Heitman, executive vice president and head of consumer products and services at U.S. Bank. The Safe Debit Account is one of the standard account options available when opening an account at U.S. Bank. There is a monthly maintenance fee that cannot be waived and is clearly disclosed in a Simple Snapshot online and at account opening.

For the Community Vision Day, A to Z Eye Care will also be partnering with Essilor International to provide the prescription eyeglasses and other supplies free of charge to the local community.
