Rio Dell Announces October 28 Housing Grant Closeout Meeting; City’s Notice Lists Conflicting Weekday

RIO DELL, Humboldt County — October 25, 2026. The City of Rio Dell has announced a public Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Income Award closeout meeting associated with a housing-rehabilitation program. The municipal notice published October 15 lists October 28 at noon in the City Hall Council Chambers, with a remote Zoom option.

Important: the city’s notice has a weekday discrepancy

The notice calls the meeting “Thursday October 28.” However, October 28, 2026 falls on a Wednesday, not a Thursday. Rio Dell’s official homepage calendar separately lists the CDBG Program Income Award Closeout Meeting on Wednesday, October 28. Readers should confirm the day and time directly with the City before making travel plans; do not rely only on the inconsistent weekday in the posted announcement.

What program is the city discussing?

The Humboldt County public calendar describes the meeting as a discussion of outcomes from Rio Dell’s CDBG Program Income-funded Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation loan program following the area’s double earthquakes. It explicitly welcomes public comments. The closeout meeting is about an award and program outcomes; the notice does not, on its own, establish that new household loans will be available or that particular residents are eligible.

Where to attend or ask questions

The notice identifies Rio Dell City Hall Council Chambers, 675 Wildwood Avenue, Rio Dell, CA 95562, as the in-person location. The municipal website’s general number is (707) 764-3532. Online participation information is provided in the city’s original announcement; verify any current meeting link or credentials there rather than relying on a copied link.

A separate canceled Planning Commission meeting

The same city’s October 2026 municipal calendar lists the October 27 Planning Commission meeting as canceled. Residents should not confuse that canceled Planning Commission session with the separately scheduled CDBG closeout discussion on October 28.

Rio Dell residents can check the city’s Agenda Center and notification subscriptions for meeting changes and official records. Rio Dell News welcomes corrections if the City issues a clarified announcement.
