Your Humboldt County Registrar of Voters printed and circulated ballots for this measure that didn't conform to the law. The registrar ignored our Notice and Demand to follow the law. The legislature makes this a crime. (See: How 25 County Registrars Committed A Crime.)
If you want to get really steamed up about the collusion between your Registrar and Northern Humboldt Union High Schools to lie and cheat in order to steal your taxes, you can read the letter for yourself.
Do you want to give this district a Thanksgiving surprise? Please call or text me (with #HonestBalllots, Humboldt, 0603030, and your name) at 909-378-5401 right now for details. It's urgent and very time-sensitive.
Are you sure you want vote to support this extravagant measure? It has no accountability.
This campaign was designed by Isom Advisors. We figured out just the right words to get you to you to open up your checkbook.
We'd also like to introduce you to our partners -- bond lawyers, brokers, wealthy investors, architects, management firms, construction companies, and trade unions. We all stand to make a ton of money on these bonds. Our profits come right off the top, before a penny is actually spent on improving the facilities.
We're not just doing it for the money. We like to show off our work in Architectural Digest and other places where the rich and famous congregate.
Remember, we've taken a lot of risk. We gave money to get your governing board members elected, so they'd be sure to remember us when we came around for a hand-out later.
It's just business-as-usual, here in sunny Corruptifornia.
Please don't read the fine print. That's just put in by the lawyers to make what we're going to do to for you legal.

Argument in Favor of Measure _
Northern Humboldt Union High School District
For over 100 years our community's high schools have a reputation as some of the top performing in all of California, but some of the classrooms and school facilities are outdated and in need of updating and repair. Keeping Arcata and McKinleyville high schools operating at a high level makes a positive impact on the entire community from higher achieving students, to greater neighborhood safety, to training for future jobs and improved property values. This is why our community and our children need your YES vote on Measure _!
Although we prioritize school facility maintenance, aging classrooms and public facilities must be upgraded since many do not meet 21st century standards. Measure _ would allow the District to improve our schools and the quality of education provided to local students without taking money away from student instruction.
If passed, Measure _ will provide funding to make facility improvements at Arcata and McKinleyville High Schools by:
Measure _ makes financial sense and protects taxpayers.
Measure __ upgrades and renovates old and inadequate school facilities, improves the education of local students, and maintains the quality of our communities. That's something we can all support. Please join us and VOTE YES ON MEASURE _!

Independent Citizens' Oversight Committee. Following approval of this measure, the Board of Trustees will establish an Independent Citizens' Oversight Committee, under Education Code Sections 15278 and following, to ensure bond proceeds are expended only on the types of school facilities projects listed below.

A-1
NO TEACHER OR ADMINISTRATOR SALARIES
Proceeds from the sale of bonds authorized by this measure shall be used only for the purposes specified in Article XIIIA, Section 1(b)(3), those being for the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or replacement of school facilities, including the furnishing and equipping of school facilities, and the acquisition or lease of school facilities, and not for any other purpose, including teacher and administrator salaries and other school operating expenses.
STATE MATCHING FUNDS
The following statement is included in this measure pursuant to Education Code Section 15122.5: Approval of this measure does not guarantee that the proposed project or projects that are the subject of bonds under this measure will be funded beyond the local revenues generated by this measure. The District's proposal for the project or projects described below may assume the receipt of matching state funds, which, if available, could be subject to appropriation by the Legislature or approval of a statewide bond measure.
USE OF ESTIMATES AND PROJECTIONS
Any estimates or projections in the bond measure or ballot materials, such as relating to estimated tax rates, the duration of issued bonds and related tax levies and collections are provided as informational only. Such amounts are estimates and are not maximum amounts or limitations on the terms of the bonds, the tax rate or duration of the tax supporting repayment of issued bonds. Such estimates depend on numerous variables which are subject to variation and change over the term of the District's overall facilities and bond financing plan, including but not limited to the amount of bonds issued and outstanding at any one time, the interest rates applicable to issued bonds, market conditions at the time of sale of the bonds, when bonds mature, timing of project needs and changes in assessed valuations in the District. As such, while such estimates and approximations are provided based on information currently available to the District and its current expectations, such estimates and approximations are not limitations and are not binding upon the District.
A-2
BOND PROJECT LIST
Scope of Projects. Bond proceeds will be expended on the modernization, renovation, expansion, acquisition, construction/reconstruction, rehabilitation, and/or replacement of school facilities of the Northern Humboldt Union High School District, including the furnishing and equipping of such school facilities. This measure authorizes bond projects to be undertaken at all District educational and support sites, including current and future sites.
School Facility Project List. The items presented on the following list are the types of projects authorized to be financed with voter-approved bond proceeds. Specific examples included on this list are not intended to limit the broad types of projects described and authorized by this measure. The types of projects authorized are:
Bond proceeds will be expended to modernize, replace, renovate, expand, construct, acquire, equip, furnish and otherwise improve the classrooms and school facilities of the District, including those located at the following locations:
Arcata High School - Built in 1948 McKinleyville High School - Built in 1961
The specific school facilities projects to be funded include, but shall not be limited to:
Arcata High School Projects:
McKinleyville High School Projects:
Miscellaneous Projects at School Sites
Each of the bond projects described in this Bond Project List include the costs of furnishing and equipping such facilities, and all costs which are incidental but directly related to the types of projects described above. Examples of incidental costs include, but are not limited to: costs of design, engineering, architect and other professional services, facilities assessments, inspections, site preparation, utilities, landscaping, construction management and other planning and permitting, legal, accounting and similar costs; independent annual financial and performance audits; a customary construction contingency; demolition and disposal of existing structures; the costs of interim housing and storage during construction including relocation and construction costs incurred relating to interim facilities; rental or construction of storage facilities and other space on an interim basis for materials and other equipment and furnishings displaced during construction; costs of relocating facilities and equipment as needed in connection with the projects; interim classrooms and facilities for students, administrators, and school functions, including modular facilities; federal and state- mandated safety upgrades; addressing unforeseen conditions revealed by construction/modernization and other necessary improvements required to comply with existing building codes; access requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act; necessary costs incurred by the District in calling and conducting the election such as County services and legal costs; bond issuance costs; and bond project construction oversight and administration during the duration of such projects, including by District personnel, as permitted by law.
The scope and nature of any of the specific projects described above may be altered by the District as required by unforeseen conditions that may arise during the course of design and construction. In the event that a modernization or renovation project is more economical for the District to be undertaken as new construction, this bond measure authorizes land acquisition, relocation, expansion, and construction and/or reconstruction, and all costs relating thereto, for said reason or, alternatively, based on other considerations deemed in the best interest of the District by the Board of Trustees.
A-5
In addition, this measure authorizes the acquisition of real property, including necessary rights of ways or other real property interests, required to expand District facilities, to provide access to school or other District facilities, or to provide additional school or related facilities. In addition, authorized projects include reimbursements for paid project costs and paying and/or prepaying interim or previously obtained financing for the types of projects included on the project list, such as bond anticipation notes or lease financings relating to projects and/or equipment previously financed.
Approval of the District's bond measure does not guarantee that all of the identified projects within this Bond Project List will be funded beyond what can be completed with local funds generated by the bond measure. The District plans to pursue funds from the State of California, if available, to complete certain of the identified facilities projects.
The order in which school facilities projects are listed in the foregoing Bond Project List does not suggest an order of priority. Project priorities will be determined by the Board of Trustees. The District is unable to anticipate all unforeseen circumstances which may prevent some of the projects listed above from being undertaken or completed.

REGARDING PROPOSED
$24.0 MILLION
NORTHERN HUMBOLDT UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT
GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS
An election will be held in the Northern Humboldt Union High School District (the "District") on November 6, 2018, to authorize the sale of up to $24.0 million in bonds of the District to finance school facilities as described in the measure. If such bonds are authorized and sold, principal and interest on the bonds will be payable only from the proceeds of ad valorem tax levies made upon the taxable property in the District. The following information is provided in compliance with Sections 9400-9404 of the Elections Code of the State of California. Such information is based upon the best estimates and projections presently available from official sources, upon experience within the District, and other demonstrable factors.
Based upon the foregoing and projections of the District's assessed valuation, the following information is provided:
Voters should note the estimated tax rate is based on the assessed value (not market value) of taxable property on the County's official tax rolls. In addition, taxpayers eligible for a property tax exemption, such as the homeowner's exemption, will be taxed at a lower effective tax rate than described above. Property owners should consult their own property tax bills and tax advisors to determine their property's assessed value and any applicable tax exemptions.
The attention of all voters is directed to the fact that the foregoing information is based upon projections and estimates only, which amounts are not maximum amounts and durations and are not binding upon the District. The actual debt service, tax rates and

3.0 ACTION ITEMS
3.1 Resolution #2/2018-19, Ordering an Election to Authorize the Issuance of Schools Bonds, Establishing Specifications of the Election Order, and Requesting Consolidation with Other Elections Occurring on November 6, 2018
Superintendent Roger Macdonald shared how we have come to point that we are considering another bond measure.
Board discussion on fees for facilities being rented out by community.
Roger shared there would be a tremendous amount of work if we do move forward with a bond measure: project lists and priorities; and community and staff involvement. Colleen asked what the negatives would be for the district. Roger shared increased work to advocate for bond, planning long term and staffing accordingly. On the flip side there will be increased work from not being able to maintain facilities, etc.
July 19, 2012
page 2
ACTION ITEMS continued
A bond for $24 million would assist with facilities needs, roofing needs, and physical education facility needs. We would not need to access the bonds until necessary, meaning we could access the funds in ten years instead of rushing to push projects through. If we put it on the ballot and it weren't to pass, what negative would that be? No negative besides no funds.
Jennifer Knight spoke also not wanting to continue to go out for more bonds constantly. Jennifer would like to see the district look at ongoing ways to generate funds to maintain our facilities. How else could we get money without bonds? Cindy Vickers shared attracting more students to our schools is the best way to generate ongoing funds. The better our facilities, the more students you attract.
Board discussed fiscal need and responsibility for our community. Board seemed to be consistent in not wanting to go above the $19 per assessed $100k for taxpayers. Cindy Vickers shared that she believes the $24 million would meet our needs. What would we do if we didn't get bond funds? How will we meet our facility needs?
Jennifer shared concern of rushing to get a bond measure on ballot before we have had time to consider options. Roger agreed it has been a little rushed but with all the issues we've had arise with our latest projects going out to bid we have seen that there is a greater need. If we don't go out for a bond then we have to reconsider what we will be doing with the physical education facilities.
Brian Gerving discussed the increase in costs that will develop by postponing projects. Jennifer wants to know how to reconcile another bond to help complete projects from the last bond.
It was moved by Colleen Toste and seconded by Brian Gerving to approve Resolution 2/2018-19.
Dana wants to see more work put into the project list, how funds will be delved out, etc. Our needs for facilities in 5-8 years may be different.
