The following is Mendocino County’s 2nd District Supervisor Mo Mulheren’s Weekly Update. MendoFever will be publishing her update weekly:
Hey Mendo!!! It’s Tuesday! Here is what I have been up to this week. Just a reminder that this is a brief summary of what I’ve been working on so that if you are interested in a topic you can reach out to me. Regarding the meeting notes those are just my rough notes and not an official public record.
Wednesday
On Wednesday I went to a Blue Zones meeting in Willits. Dan Buettner the founder of Blue Zones was there to discuss what a Blue Zone is and encourage the community to take the Blue Zones Challenge. Have you don’t your age test yet?

Thursday
Every Thursday morning I start my day the same with Coffee and Conversation. We had a few people joined and we talked about everything from mental health to cannabis. Please feel free to join any Thursday 7:15a-7:45a Zoom link Meeting ID 7079548230 Password LOCAL707
We had the monthly meeting of Mendocino Business and Government Leaders, which includes County officials and council members and staff from each of the four cities as well as the Chambers and other business alliances. We discussed the order that will require businesses to signal their covid vaccine requirements and any available upcoming funding sources.
The regularly scheduled meeting of the MSWA board occurred. We announced that we have hired interim General Manager Tom Varga.
I attended the Ukiah Valley Basin Groundwater Sustainability Agency as an alternate.
I was invited to attend Dia De Los Muertos Planning with the City of Ukiah Mayor Juan Orozco and City Councilmember Josefina Duenas. I am happy to work with the City again to create a culturally appropriate event for our community to recognize the lives that have been lost over the last year.
Friday
Tour of the Northern Aggregates facility on the Willits Grade
Saturday
I gave a presentation to the MWPC on how to use Social Media for a campaign.
Sunday
I did attend the meeting called Patriots Town Hall at Todd Grove Park. I think it’s important to hear from everyone in the community and not just those that I agree with.
Monday
I listened in on the Stepping Up Committee meeting between the jail, Behavioral Health and Probation as well as service providers seeking more alignment for mental health patients that may become incarcerated.
I attended the First 5 Mendocino meeting. We need to place more importance on helping pregnant mothers and littles before age 5. Please take the time to check out their website. http://www.mendochildren.org/

Good Day
I would like to remind the County Board of Supervisors that there is 10 Sovereign Tribal Gov’t in Mendocino and none are invited for any planning of funding that comes to this County?
I would suggest to request there be a “Tribal Advisory Committee” for planning in Mendocino County business and have a Tribal Listening Session for “Consultation with Tribes ” in Mendocino County…..
Have a safe and great session this fall season…..
