Just before 10:00 on Wednesday night, the Ukiah City Council voted by a bare majority to table a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. The Council received over thirty letters on both sides of the question. Many supporters of the ceasefire resolution stated that they are Jewish, before citing their dismay over the Israeli bombing Gaza. But opponents advised the local governing body not to weigh in on international issues by passing a non-binding resolution. One questioned why the council was delving into foreign affairs when people are hungry and homeless in Ukiah.

Local NewsIn what one Ukiah Valley water leader calls “the next big era of major water decisions,” the City of Ukiah has joined up with Redwood Valley and the Millview water district to form a new water authority. The aim is to qualify for state infrastructure grants to create a more reliable water supply for small communities. The new authority has around 8500 to 9000 water users, with about half of them in the city of Ukiah. That’s pretty small by state standards, but First District Supervisor Glenn McGourty, who is retiring this year, thinks the water authority will help smaller districts comply with ever-increasing state requirements.

Local NewsToday is the last day to vote in the presidential primary election, which includes supervisors races in the first, second, and fourth districts. It also includes Measure R, renewal of the abandoned vehicle abatement program. That will result in a one dollar fee for every vehicle registered to an owner with an address in the county. There will be an additional two or maybe three dollars for certain commercial vehicles, depending on whether the impartial analysis or the text of the ballot measure is correct. Presumably, if it passes, whatever the fee is will be renewed for another ten years.

Local NewsThe Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on February 27 to offer a hiring bonus to entice an Ag Commissioner to head up the ag department. The county has been without an ag commissioner since 2022. This puts farmers and customers of any business that uses scales or other measuring devices at a disadvantage, because the Ag Commissioner also serves as the sealer of weights and measures.
