As the County of Humboldt works to create a sustainable, ongoing budget that meets Humboldt's needs, we want to hear from you. What are your top priorities for Humboldt County? This research is important as the county explores ways to further tighten its belt while providing essential services that residents expect and deserve.

Last fall, the county conducted a survey to obtain initial resident input on service priorities. Some of the priorities identified by your neighbors include:

• Maintaining 911 emergency response times
• Maintaining local streets and roads to reduce the need for future repairs 
• Providing communications services for medical and first responders after natural disasters
• Repairing deteriorating county roads 
• Becoming eligible for additional state and federal matching funds for road repair 
• Climate action, including transit
• Maintaining and expanding bus services for seniors, low-income and people with disabilities
• Providing services to address homelessness

The county wants to learn which of these priorities are most important to the community. 

Humboldt County residents are encouraged to share their input and priorities to help the county identify creative solutions that align with the community’s values while addressing the county’s current fiscal challenges.

The Humboldt County Community Feedback Survey is available online at humboldtgov.org/roads911. The survey will be open until Friday, June 28.
