Veteran Affairs salary deferred as Humboldt County hears public comment supporting wind energy
Summary
The board deferred setting a salary for the Veteran Affairs Director pending state guidance on expected hours per week; a member of the public, Mark Olson, spoke in favor of wind energy during public concerns.
During the May 18, 2026 meeting the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors opened public concerns and heard from Mark Olson, who expressed support for wind energy in the county.
David Scholl, identified at the meeting as the Veteran Affairs Commissioner, told the board the office has received three applications for the Veteran Affairs Director position but that the board would hold off on setting a salary until the state provides information about expected hours per week for the role. No salary or effective hours were set at the meeting.
The board moved on to other agenda items after hearing the public comment and the Veteran Affairs update. The meeting included routine committee reports and logistical discussion about the meeting location for a May 26 public hearing on county ordinances; Jon Beaty recommended using the Courthouse second-floor courtroom to accommodate more attendees.
