HCAOG Technical Advisory Committee Elects Officers, Advances Budget Amendment
The Humboldt County Association of Governments Technical Advisory Committee met December 4 in Eureka to consider internal leadership elections and a recommended amendment to the Fiscal Year 2025 to 2026 Overall Work Program and budget. The decisions and documents reviewed shape regional transportation planning and funding priorities that affect local roads, transit services, and future grant applications.
The Humboldt County Association of Governments Technical Advisory Committee met on December 4 at 2 30 p.m. at HCAOG offices, 611 I Street Suite B in Eureka. The session opened with routine roll call and an opportunity for public participation, followed by a consent calendar that included the meeting records from November 6, 2025.
Committee members moved to action items that emphasized internal governance and program budgeting. The agenda centered on the election of a chair and a vice chair for 2026 and on a recommended amendment to the Overall Work Program and budget for Fiscal Year 2025 to 2026, identified as Amendment Number 2. Staff presented a packet of documents for review that included a staff report, a budget summary, a draft Overall Work Program with the proposed amendment, and a proposed resolution. The meeting also featured reports from the HCAOG executive director and staff, along with updates from TAC members.
For Humboldt County residents, the committee work bears on how regional transportation planning dollars are allocated and which projects receive priority, from road maintenance and safety improvements to transit planning and multimodal initiatives. Amendments to the Overall Work Program establish tasks, budgets, and timelines that influence grant applications and coordination with state and federal agencies. Electing committee leadership sets the agenda direction and the tone for technical recommendations that will flow to decision makers.
The meeting packet and associated attachments were made available on the HCAOG meeting page for members and the public to review. Community members seeking more detail may consult those materials for line item changes in the budget amendment, task descriptions in the draft work program, and the proposed resolution that would formalize the amendment if adopted through the appropriate governance steps.
The TAC meeting continued the regionally coordinated work of aligning planning priorities with available funding, while maintaining transparency through public access to staff reports and meeting records.
