Fort Bragg City Council Hears Annual Reports on Crime Statistics, Homeless Programs, and Stray Animals The April 14th City Council meeting was lightly attended. It's not clear if an error on the agenda itself was partially to blame.  The Zoom meeting link was missing the passcode, making remote participation impossible, although streaming was available.  Emails to the city clerk were responded to with the correct link.   Two annual reports, one from the Fort Bragg Police Department and one from the Mendocino Coast Humane Society, provided insights into crime rates and the number of stray animals.Chief Cervenka provided crime statistics for 2024. The police responded to over 15000 calls, which resulted in 1166 reports, 514 arrests, and 315 traffic citations.  They seized 8.75 pounds of illegal drugs and 26 firearms.  There were 106 vehicle collisions, of which 8 were due to DUIs.   In general, crime decreased locally except for domestic violence, which increased by 53%.  Chief Cervenka said the increase was due to better training of his officers, who are making more arrests, and the victims' access to post-pandemic assistance.Chief Cervenka also provided an update on the extreme weather shelter for this past winter.  The extreme weather shelter is run by the police department through their Crisis Response Unit (CRU) program, which facilitates helping houseless individuals off the street and into housing.  The extreme weather shelter operates from November 15th to March 31st and is opened based on precipitation and temperature as predicted by the National Weather Service.  The shelter operated 83 out of the possible 136 operational days, provided beds 644 times for 107 individuals.  The emergency shelter handles overflow from the hospitality house, which maintains 25 beds.  Although there was an increased need for beds this past winter, there was a 15% drop in individuals needing help.  Cervenka attributed that to the police department's homeless housing program, or CRU.  Judy Martin, the Executive Director for the Mendocino Coast Humane Society provided an annual report on the animals in their care.  They currently have 97 animals, of which 44 are available for adoption.  In 2024, they took in 631 animals and adopted out 504.  According to Martin, the coast shelter takes in animals from Leggett to Gualala, provides basic veterinary care to low-income families, and works with Fort Bragg police on impounds.The City of Fort Bragg provides the Humane Society with $60,000 in funds and leases property to them for the shelter.  The Humane Society is primarily funded by sales at the Arc Thrift Store, donations, and grants. The City declared May 1st through 7th as Rhododendron week to recognize the many hybrids developed in Fort Bragg.  The 46th annual John Druecker Memorial Rhododendron Show is scheduled for May 3rd and 4th.  It is held adjacent to the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens and is open to the public. Admission to the Rhododendron show is free.Under consent, the council approved updates to the purchasing, bidding, and signatory requirements, affording City Manager Isaac Whippy the authority to sign off on purchases of up to $60,000.  All contracts over $5000 require a minimum of three bids.  Contracts over $60,000 require council approval.  The council also adopted changes to the municipal code, reducing parking and altering parking lot landscaping requirements for multi-family housing developments, and approved a four-year lease with Toshiba for printers and copiers.  Earlier on the meeting agenda, the council honored Jason Balassi for his thirty years of service in the public works department, received a presentation from the Fort Bragg Library, and honored volunteers during National Volunteer Week, which is April 20 – 26 this year.Under, items from the council, Councilmember Lindy Peters provided a report on the FBFD financials.  According to Peters, the Fort Bragg Fire Department is in good shape financially.  It currently has approximately $954,000 in the bank and expects additional funding from Mendocino County soon.  Lindy thanked the staff and many volunteers who keep the fire department operational.

#46:  In a special bonus episode, we continue our celebration of National Volunteer Week with Phoenix volunteer Susannah Wingfield. The first to bring Phoenix classes to Detroit, Susannah's path to sobriety was inextricably linked to her CrossFit journey and the non-judgmental community she found at her own gym. We discuss the influence of CrossFit on Susannah's recovery, how she gives back to her community, and much more: Susannah's work as a social worker and how she must balance between tenderness and toughness,  How through this work, Susannah has learned to find at least one thing about each person that she truly likes and appreciates, even when that person refuses help, The vitality but simultaneous difficulty of asking for help when you're stuck in a rut, Her desire to bring free CrossFit classes to others seeking recovery, knowing how much the community and physicality supported her own recovery,The ways her efforts to give back aligned with The Phoenix movement, Her assertion that each individual can make a positive contribution to their community in a variety of ways... Come as you are! What it's like when no one comes to class; and the power of showing up anyway.  The compassion and understanding she had to cultivate to know  each person will take that first step in their own time.    Once again, THANK YOU to Susannah and all of our volunteers that continue to spark hope and build the connections and community that drive this recovery movement.Want to become a volunteer?  After you attend at least one Phoenix event you gain access to a volunteer application through the mobile app. Everyone has something to offer, and there is always a need for your unique contribution. Join the Phoenix community & sign up for classes with a single click by downloading The Phoenix App!

They show that sobriety can be creative, connection, and fun! Liz: Volunteering sparked self worth that was missing, and supported her recovery in immeasurable ways,  Bryce: Volunteering allows us to contribute to a space and community we believe in, to give back to others on the same journey. Once you have attended at least one Phoenix event you gain access to a volunteer application through the mobile app. Everyone has something to offer, and there is always a need for your unique contribution.  THANK YOU  to our incredible, generous volunteers!

Our Lord tells he that he came not to be served, but to serve. We find true happiness in following his example. Sure, our days our busy and our lives are hectic but, like Jesus, we can never lose sight of the person in front of us who is seeking compassion. During this National Volunteer Week, identify some ways to help others in need and put them into practice. For instance, commit to working a few hours at a food bank; visit a nursing home and the sick; sit a few hours with an elderly neighbor or help someone with groceries. Being of service to others can change lives! When we give of our time and our talents to those who are struggling, our conversion of heart becomes more complete.
