Supervisor Clif Clendenen
The Humboldt Board of Supervisors appointed 2nd Dist. Supervisor Cliff Clendenen to the North Coast Railroad Authority (NCRA) at Tuesday’s meeting. The appointment came during a flurry of appointments to some 61 committees, boards and commissions.
Clendenen expressed a life-long interest in trains which began when he grew up next to the tracks in Fortuna.
The appointment is a “big one,” said Supe Chair Jimmy Smith.
Supe Jill Duffy joked that Clendnen deserved a round of applause for stepping into the contentious fray over resurrection of the railroad.
