Volunteer overnight security at Moose Lodge fire evacuation center in Clear Lake Oaks during California Fires. Having displaced all residents from their homes, the evacuation center temporarily housed residents from all walks of life and backgrounds which unfortunately placed families in close proximity to individuals with behavioral or drug related issues. The families appreciated the security presence so they could get a good nights sleep while facing the challenge of recovery and rebuilding.

Two runs for City Council in 2014 and 2016. In 2014, the election night results showing Rikard in the lead were slowly eroded over the following 2 weeks as mail-in ballots overtook his victory by less than a .25% margin. He would make one more attempt at the seat in the 2016 election at the urging of his supporters which led to the revealed purpose of his call being not for the win but rather for the journey and experience of the run.
