Monday’s Humboldt City Council meeting featured a double-dose of feel good energy.
Three individuals were recognized for community service.
Humboldt Police Officers Erin Bennett and Amber Williams were honored by Police Chief Joel Sanders for their life-saving heroics on the night of Jan. 16, 2021, when they were called to the Humboldt home of Kyle Kluender. The officers provided life-saving measures and Kluender survived and has made a full recovery. Officers Bennett and Williams were recognized with a pin and will be given a certificate of commendation for their actions.
Community service of a different sort was recognized through a project by Aaron Boleyn, a 17-year-old Humboldt High School junior.
Aaron is a Boy Scout and recently completed his Eagle Scout project, which has an impact on city activities. Aaron and other members of Troop 108 created two wooden carriers for the flag poles that fly the flag on Sumner Avenue during official holidays.
