Send your your thoughts, opinions or feedback on any topics discussed on our podcastsIt has been a busy week of football action, and Friday night saw a number of interesting ties in the SSE Airtricity Men's Premier Division as well as a full round of fixtures in the First Division. Meanwhile, in Norwich, the Republic of Ireland Women's Team faced England in a Euro 2025 qualifier.The latest episode of the Extratime.com Voice Notes podcast, hosted by Oisín Langan, provides a round-up of all of Friday night's action and reflections from reporters at some of the games.With three Irish teams in midweek European action, there was a reduced number of matches in the Men's Premier Division, but fewer games certainly did not mean less drama, and there were plenty of moments of magic across the evening.In Dalymount Park, with newly appointed Republic of Ireland Men's Manager Heimir Hallgrímsson as an interested spectator, Sligo Rovers (playing with 10 men for almost an hour after Stephen Mallon was shown a second yellow card) claimed a 2-0 victory over Bohemians courtesy of an Ellis Chapman brace.The second goal for the Bit o' Red was a memorable one and sealed a third win on the bounce for John Russell's side, following recent victories over defending champions Shamrock Rovers and second-place Derry City. Extratime.com's Patrick O'Connor was reporting from Phibsboro, and he spoke to Oisín on the podcast.Meanwhile, Paul Corcoran joined Oisín from Eamon Deacy Park in Galway, where there was joy too for the other team in the West as John Caulfield's Galway United defeated an in-form Waterford side by one goal to nil.The Blues had started well since the mid-season break with two victories and two clean sheets against Dundalk and St. Pat's, but a 24th-minute goal from Patrick Hickey - his first of the season - was the difference between the sides in Galway. Both teams have impressed in their first season back in the top flight, and as it stands, Waterford occupy third spot in the league table with Galway United in fifth (although The Tribesmen do have a game in hand).It proved to be a great night for those in maroon and white as Galway FC women's star Julie-Ann Russell scored Ireland's only goal at Carrow Road - one that will be important for the team's seeding for the playoffs.Elsewhere, the night's only other Premier Division clash saw the league's bottom two sides meet in what was billed as one of the biggest-ever Louth Derbies.Both Dundalk and Drogheda United are battling to avoid relegation, and this match took on huge significance with both teams seeking to secure a valuable three points. Dundalk, having succumbed to two successive defeats, knew that a win would extend the gap between themselves and their neighbours to five points, whilst for Kevin Doherty's side, a win would see them leapfrog the Lilywhites.The game produced six goals, and former Dundalk captain John Flanagan, who was on co-commentary duty for LOI TV, gives us his thoughts on the game in this week's Voice Notes podcast.Oisín also caught up with Extratime.com's Ronan MacNamara, who was in Tolka Park on Thursday night as Shelbourne made a long-awaited return to European action.After 18 years without a game in a European Competition, the Reds hosted St. Joseph's of Gibraltar. Damien Duff's side emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline, with goals from Mark Coyle and Will Jarvis. The Reds got off to a dream start with Coyle's goal coming after just 27 seconds.Having conceded a corner approaching the end of the first half, the sides were level at the break, but a Will Jarvis spot-kick in the 57th minute earned The Reds an important win.

August 24, 2022--Host Karen Ottoboni speaks with Patrick Hickey and Julie Beardsley from SEIU Local 1021, the union that represents Mendocino's County Workers.
August 18 — Union members packed into the Board of Supervisors chambers at last week's meeting, scoffing at claims of a financial crisis and calling for an increase in pay. “We've been hearing that the county can't afford a cost of living increase because there's a financial crisis,” said Patrick Hickey, the field representative for SEIU Local 1021, which represents most of the county's unionized workers. “But is there? In a word: no.” The county has asked for a year-long pause in negotiations over a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) to assess the financial situation on the national as well as local levels. And the Board contemplated a program to exempt media from paying fees for public records act requests, even as a new system of including public comment on meeting agendas has drastically reduced the public discourse. Hickey argued that in the last five years, the county has overestimated expenses and underestimated revenues, sometimes by more than 100% for one source of tax funds. Union members clapped and cheered as he shared his data points with the Board. “The only potential funding shortfall is in cannabis taxes,” he declared; “which everyone who was paying attention knew was coming. But every other funding stream is increasing. How can the Board take action to support county employees? Number one: there are 264 funded, unfilled positions. Repurpose some of those funds. The county has argued that there is no money there because it gets used up by overtime and extra help. But you need to look at the actual data. If you review the past budgets, and the recently released annual comprehensive financial report, you will see that that is not true. There is an increase in overtime and extra help, but it doesn't come close to using up the savings when those positions are not filled. Number two: for this year's budget, the county has projected no increase in sales tax revenues. Let's take a look at how well the county has done in forecasting sales and use tax revenues.” In the last five years, he said, “actual revenues are regularly higher than projected, and expenses are regularly lower than projected. The budget is a fiction, designed to make the Board look prudent and effective. The Board needs to understand this, and make decisions accordingly.” Not all of the presentations were quite as data-driven. Jessica Christensen shared responses to county job postings on Facebook. “We are advertising that your check can be up to $1850 per paycheck,” she began. “Up to. And this is what the public had to say about that: ‘Mendocino County is a gorgeous place to live. But the job market couldn't suck harder if it attached a nozzle to it.'” She went on, including some frank language from users of the site, as union members laughed and held up their signs. Union President Julie Beardsley predicted what will happen if more workers become dissatisfied and leave the county. “Falling behind in employee compensation will result in a lack of services, phones not being answered, long wait times for permits, and it will put the most vulnerable in our county at risk,” she declared. The public is also no longer privy to correspondence with the Board of Supervisors on matters of public interest. Up until the beginning of June, comments addressed to the Board about items under discussion during the meetings would be attached to the pertinent agenda item. They were often plentiful, and they ranged from expert opinion to angry one-liners. But a new system, called Granicus, requires commenters to create a password-protected account, which has not caught on. I was first surprised on June 21, when it appeared that no one besides supervisors and county staff had anything to say about a controversial proposal for a sales tax. Since then, only county documents have appeared on the agendas. Since the new system was in place, I have obtained at least three important letters about topics that are clearly in the public interest — just not by way of the agenda. Chamise Cubbison, the elected Treasurer-Tax Collector/Auditor-Controller, wrote to the Board of Supervisors on August 2, characterizing assertions they had made about the county's budget as false. Earlier that day, the Board had agreed to ask the State Controller to help the county with its budget, due to an alleged financial crisis. Cubbison informed the Board that the meeting had been full of misinformation, and that she had not been given a chance to respond. That letter made its way into my hands informally. On July 29, Cannabis Department Director Kristin Nevedal wrote to the Board of Supervisors about updates to the manual for the cannabis equity grant program. Mismanagement and delays in administering the direct grants to qualified applicants were the subject of a recent Grand Jury report, called “Building the Airplane While it's Flying.” I also obtained this piece of correspondence, from a public servant to elected representatives, informally. I happen to be on the mailing list for the Redwood Valley Municipal Advisory Council, which wrote a letter to the Board dated August 10, urging it to adopt a standing committee to address cannabis issues. They wrote that, “As is obvious to everyone now, the roll out of the cannabis permit program has been fraught with hiccups and missteps sinc ethe inception.” At the meeting no August 16, the Board directed cannabis concerns to the General Government standing committee. The cannabis community has been requesting this for years, but the Board has held firm on its position that the entire Board should hear cannabis matters, and that an ad hoc committee should take up specific, narrowly defined problems. But the Board changed its position during a discussion about an item on a retroactive contract amendment that was pulled from the middle of the consent calendar. The public did not have a chance to see who, besides the MAC and the cannabis community, had weighed in on that decision by writing to the Board. The most recent agenda consisted of 66 items, and contained only one public comment, which was a memo from the Mendocino Cannabis Alliance, an advocacy organization that has long been working with the Board and the public to establish and clarify its position. I shared my thoughts about this with the Board during public comment on Tuesday. I said that previously, I have been able to gauge the level of public interest in an item, including the thoughts of people who are not well-versed in advocacy; and that I find value and interest in what the public has to say. Williams responded that he agreed, but that the Clerk of the Board's office is down from five employees to about 1.5. The union members, who were in the room for public comment, booed and groaned. Williams said the clerk is charged with saving emails as pdf's, and manually uploading them as comments. “We simply didn't have staff time, based on the number of comments,” he said. “I'm not saying that we shouldn't have that simplified model that we had before, but it's a struggle, and it's not just in the clerk's office. It's across the board. Every problem that we look at, we say, we don't have enough personnel to carry it out. Yes, it's a problem…I don't know what that solution is today. It's not as easy as directing staff to put back in place what was in place previously. Because we simply don't have the staff time to carry it out.” The County recently used close to $370,000 in one-time American Rescue Plan Act funds to remodel the Board of Supervisors chambers, including new chairs, a new telecom system, and an automatic door system. Beardsley, the union president, summarized her position: “We have examined the budget, and the claims of no money just don't add up.”

July 28, 2022 — At a brief Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, the Board heard about Measure B, cannabis, covid, and labor. Public Health Officer Dr. Andy Coren called in to warn about new variants. He is strongly recommending that people wear masks indoors and gather outdoors. Since May, the county has recorded eight deaths from covid, six of them in the greater Ukiah area. The descedents ranged in age from 67-91, and most had comorbidities. And negotiations between the county and the union representing most of its workers are not going amicably. SEIU Local 1021 filed an unfair labor practice charge with the state Public Employment Relations Board, claiming that the county has refused to give union negotiators all the information they need to participate in bargaining sessions. Union representative Patrick Hickey called into the Board meeting on Tuesday to say that he thinks the county does have the money to give members a cost of living allowance, or COLA. “We've been waiting since November for a variety of information requests,” he said. “And the county continues to drag its heels, has failed to present the information that we've needed to analyze the budget…we did finally get a dribble of information from the county last week in our negotiations. They provided a small portion of the information requested regarding the more than 402 unfilled vacant positions in the county…based on the limited amount of information provided, it's clear that there is certainly funding available to provide county employees with a reasonable COLA to address the current high level of inflation. Based on the current budget, a lot more attention is being paid to taking care of the buildings, rather than taking care of the employees. Some of those projects are not imminent or urgent, and certainly can be postponed and that money can be rededicated to COLAs…there's a sizable amount of money set aside to buy new vehicles. The County has a large number of vehicles that are not even used on a regular basis, that are just sitting in parking lots, getting old.” The union told the employee relations board that “the County should be ordered to provide complete and accurate responses to the Union's outstanding requests for information; ” and asked it to “order all other remedies it deems just and proper.” The union frequently contends that low pay leads to understaffing, a theme that emerged in many of the Grand Jury reports, which started to come out last week. Michael Katz, the Executive Director of the Mendocino Cannabis Alliance, drew the board's attention to the Grand Jury report on the cannabis equity grant program, which is supposed to provide grants to people who have been harmed by the war on drugs. The report detailed communications failures, and noted that as of May, the county's Cannabis Department had ten vacant positions and only twelve employees. Katz said the report bolstered many points the board has heard before. “I'm not sure you had a chance to review it. It came in yesterday,” he began. “If you had, you might see that some of the findings and some of the recommendations align with what MCA and stakeholders from the community have been saying for quite some time. One of the first findings indicates that there was no process developed for the distribution of grant funds to individuals prior to applications being received. What that indicates is a project management issue, I believe, that speaks to the need for additional support of the cannabis department by the CEO's office to ensure that as projects are set up, they align with all of the requirements of the county infrastructure and that we are not waiting for the last minute to identify potential roadblocks in getting out these much-needed funds. That goes on, additionally, to finding #2, that the County did not ask county did not ask the State for requirements on record-keeping until May of 2022, and apparently only did so to establish the County's risk of having to repay funds if they were not spent for approved purposes.” The county received $2.2 million for the equity program, and close to $10.5 million for a local jurisdiction assistance grant program to help growers comply with environmental regulations and cover the cost of various fees. Supervisor John Haschak pulled an item from the Board's consent calendar approving a year-long agreement with a company called Planet Labs to provide satellite imaging services, starting July 27, for a little over $350,000. “This is the Local Jurisdiction Assistance Grant money,” he said; “and the concern expressed was that this only be used for helping out with getting people to their annual licenses, which is the intent of the Local Jurisdiction Assistance Grant.” The Mendocino Cannabis Alliance sent a memo to the Board, sounding the alarm over the satellites' potential use for enforcement purposes, which it contends are ineligible uses for the grant money. Katz called out what he sees as a double standard. “It's been made very clear that if funds are misused, we will not be able to retain them,” he warned. “And seeing County Counsel's focus on making sure that the misuse of funds policy was in place for applicants to the equity program, people who have already been harmed by the war on drugs, it seems obvious to us that there should be similar misuse of funds policies in place for the administration of these funds.” The Board passed the consent calendar and agreed to fine-tune the use of the funds later. In the Measure B update, Behavioral Health Director Dr. Jeanine Miller told the Board that a new crisis team of mental health specialists worked with law enforcement to answer about one call a day last year. Sheriff Matt Kendall claimed that law enforcement visits to hospital emergency rooms with people in mental health crises are down 60% since the team started working together. But the mental health training center in Redwood Valley is expensive, and so far not living up to expectations. Again, Haschak was dubious. “We're hearing that there's two trainings per month at this point,” he said. “So that's 24 per year, and if we're looking at the operational cost of $50,000 per year, plus it looks like $30,000 for the capital, so we're talking $80,000 a year just to keep it up and running. So I guess the question is, how do we get better usage of it.” Miller said she expects better marketing will get the training center rented out more often. While the Measure B committee has put aside a prudent reserve, there is no reserve for capital improvement projects or maintenance, though one of the stated purposes of the Measure was to “Provide for the necessary infrastructure to support and stabilize” people needing treatment for a variety of conditions. The Measure B committee has ordered a gun locker for the training center and is deciding where to put it.

June 14, 2022 — The Board of Supervisors has closed its budget hearings and will formally ratify the final county budget on June 21. The total county budget is over $355.8 million, with an operating budget of over $29.6 million per month, according to documents attached to the June 7 agenda. Talk of closing the county museum was notably absent from the list of recommendations. Several organizations asked the board to consider funding them from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), including Meghan Barber-Allende, the Executive Director of the Community Foundation, who asked for $300,000 for hunger relief and another $200,000 for non-profits that were unable to hold fundraisers during covid. “We can make a difference, and we can feed our communities, especially those that are extremely vulnerable,” she told the Board. “I think it's just very, very hard to think about how families and individuals and seniors are going to survive this, if we don't figure out how to provide some support.” Supervisor Ted Williams asked acting deputy CEO Sarah Pierce if it would be possible to fulfill the request. “As we go through these presentations, what would the funding source be?” he asked. “What is the pot of money we have to divide up? Because I can already tell you, I support all of these projects. How do we pay for it?” Pierce told him county staff was keeping track of requests for ARPA funding, but that they were following earlier Board direction to use the funds for county core services first. The health plan deficit, even with an infusion of $4.6 million from the ARPA funds, is projected to be over $3 million by the end of the calendar year. And cannabis tax projections are $1.5 million, down from $6.1 million last year. Supervisor Ted Williams was chagrined. “I see that we had $6.8 million that we didn't collect on cannabis,” he noted. “We're not going to collect that, aren't we?” Interim CEO Darcie Antle confirmed his assessment that, “that's just written off for this year.” Still, some petitioners were given some hope. Stephanie Garrabrant-Sierra, Mendocino County Resource Conservation District's new Executive Director, told the Board that, as a special district, her agency is “a government partner,” which is working to alleviate climate change. With the rising costs of gas and steel, she requested double the $45,000 the RCD typically receives. The Board directed her to Department of Transportation Director Howard Dashiell, to see if it's possible to provide more funding for the district under his allocation. Projected secure property tax for the next fiscal year is up to $41.8 million from $36.8 in May of this year, and projections for the transient occupancy tax are up to $8 million from $6.2 million actuals in May. Patrick Hickey, the field representative for SEIU Local 1021, insists that the budget is not as dire as presented. The county is currently in negotiations with all its labor unions. “Sales taxes are projected to be up by $700,000, transient occupancy taxes are projected to be up by $2 million, property taxes are projected to be up by $2 million as well,” he recited. “This doesn't sound like a county in trouble to me. But how well has the county done at projecting its revenues? Actually, they've underestimated Budget Unit 1000 every year.” This unit is for non-departmental revenue, derived primarily from property tax, sales tax, and ToT, or transient occupancy tax, also known as bed tax. The funds are usually used to make up the difference in expenditures and revenues by county departments that operate at a loss. Hickey went on to say that the county had underestimated Budget Unit 1000 by nearly $8 million in FY 2018/2019, $1.3 million in FY 2019/2020, and $9.4 million in FY 2020/2021. “I think you can see the pattern here,” he concluded. “The county is in the habit of overestimating expenses and underestimating revenues.” Antle provided some more information about the revenue projection, saying, “In the past, the revenue projection has come from the auditor-controller's office, and as you know, we had a change in that position this year. Those numbers weren't provided to us by the auditor-controller, so the fiscal team made the projection for this coming year of 2022/2023.” She added that the team had eventually received the report from the auditor-controller, but not until May 20, which wasn't timely enough for them to use it when the budget process started at the beginning of March. She told the Board that the only difference between revenue projections by the fiscal team and the auditor-controller is that “ours is $700,000 higher.” Hickey also suggested that the county stop budgeting for the nearly 400 positions that it can't fill, which he believes would free up money to pay more to existing staff. The Board agreed to a discussion with department heads to find out if they are still actively recruiting for positions that are funded, but which have been vacant for years. The Board also directed the auditor-controller to track where the cannabis tax that has been collected has gone. In 2016, county voters approved AI, a cannabis business tax of no more than ten percent of gross receipts for cultivation and distribution. The general tax measure was accompanied by AJ, an advisory measure that asked voters if they wanted a majority of the taxes generated by AI to be used for enforcement, mental health, county road repair, and fire and emergency medical services. The destination of the money has not been diligently tracked. AI was a general tax, which means it only needed a simple majority to pass, and the revenue it generated went into the general fund. Advisory measures are not legally binding. The budget also includes direction to the auditor-controller to encumber the unspent PG&E settlement money for its designated projects; and to create one new budget unit within the general fund with $320,000 in it for parks; and another to track grants for the Air Quality Management District. Acting auditor-controller Chamise Cubbison provided some analysis. She said she had given the CEO's fiscal team an updated projection using her own calculations, and had tried to have a conversation with them, but “I got the sense that they didn't want to change the projection, because that was what they had based the initial net county cost assignments on. So I understand that…I'm most frustrated by the fact that the auditor-controller budget is the budget unit that appears to be taking the largest hit, at least from the CEO adjustments. And there's been many references today to direct the auditor, direct the auditor, direct the auditor to do things. But I do need to point out the fact that the auditor-controller's budget unit cannot be underfunded to the tune of more than $340,000 and expect that I'm going to be successful and that my team is going to be successful. The auditor controller's office is a key part to the property tax and the ToT distribution and collections processes, along with the special districts…we do put on the tax roll and distribute over $160 million to the county, to the cities, to the special districts, and the schools. So under the new consolidated office, I really would hope that the Board would fully fund the auditor-controller's proposed budget, with the understanding that in order to be successful, we need to be fully staffed and we need to have the resources that I think are appropriate. So I would hope that the Board would consider possibly revising the ToT projection by enough to possibly cover the auditor-controller's budget, or direct the ARPA funds be allocated to bring positions up to pre-covid, or that that ARPA fund be used somewhere else in the county to free up additional general fund to help support the auditor's office budget.” Antle said part of the one-time $1.7 million of ARPA money that was set aside to bring up staffing to pre-covid levels could be used to fund Cubbison's office.
June 10, 2022 — By 7:00 on Wednesday night, the Board of Supervisors had agreed 4-1 to put a tax on the November ballot to fund county-wide fire and water needs. The amount of the tax has not been decided yet, but the split will be 60% for fire and 40% for water. However, it would be a general tax, which typically goes straight into the general fund for no specified purpose and only requires a simple majority to pass. A special tax requires a two-thirds majority. County Counsel Christian Curtis gave the board some structural advice, saying that he could set up a general tax with an advisory body to give the board recommendations as to the best ways to use the funds. “I can't guarantee the use of funds in any particular manner, or it will become a special tax,” he cautioned. The advisory body the board discussed came out to eight representatives of diverse interests, including one tribal representative. There are ten tribal nations in Mendocino County. The tax is likely to be one of two that come before the voters in November. The Citizens' Committee for the Library Initiative has been campaigning since January to put a quarter-cent sales tax on the ballot, in part to pay for capital improvements like roof repairs. They wrote in a letter to the Board that they have already gathered over 4,000 signatures. Supervisor Dan Gjerde read from a five-point memo he started circulating over the weekend, arguing against the water and fire tax. “Voters in every corner of Mendocino County will question why they are being asked to pay a water sales tax, when the water sales tax is originating from, and is the brainchild of, water interests in one corner of the county who pay virtually nothing for their water,” he declared. “Today we have a united Board of Supervisors that politically and financially supports the efforts of the Potter Valley Irrigation District, the Inland Water and Power Commission, and others who are attempting to retain reasonable water diversion rights from the Eel River to Potter Valley and to Lake Mendocino. But this support has limits. A debate at this time over an imperfect and unwelcome sales tax will trigger devastating political division within Mendocino County…and a Board-sponsored sales tax will lose at the ballot. Question: after the inevitable loss at the ballot, will state and federal funders want to give state and federal grants to support any Eel River diversion or related projects? I'm doubtful.” He threatened to campaign against it if it was three-eighths of a cent, but left himself room to support it if it was a quarter cent and its advocates were “open and transparent.” He was dismayed that elected representatives in cities, where the majority of the tax will be collected, had not been consulted. Janet Pauli, of the Potter Valley Irrigation District and chair of the Inland Water and Power Commission, argued in favor of the tax. She said the IWPC is now facing the decommissioning of the Potter Valley Project, and an opportunity for a long-awaited feasibility study of raising Coyote Valley Dam. She assured the board that the interests she represents are not asking the county to pay for their water. “We are now bound by two federal processes that are out of our control, but to which we must react and be engaged, or we will not have a voice in directing the future of our water supply reliability in the Russian River basin in Mendocino County,” she told the Board. “I'm here to speak to these two critically important and urgent funding needs. We have a budget for our funding needs for IWPC. I can't address other drought-related water supply funding requirements in the county, or fire and emergency services funding needs. But it seems clear to me that between the droughts and fires we have recently experienced, we should be prioritizing fire and water funding needs… A request for funding by IWPC is not a forever tax. It is bridge funding to help us get the information we need to form a regional entity that will be able to self-fund a sustained revenue stream based on monetization of the water supply from the Potter Valley Project, used by the people who directly benefit from the water.” But some speakers were skeptical about the level of planning that had gone into the measure on the part of the board. Michelle Bisson Savoy, president of the Friends of the Ukiah Valley Library, said the library has done a needs analysis, which she implied was missing from the newest tax proposal. “We got together quite an army of volunteers and went out and got a lot of petitions,” she said. “And what we heard, over and over again, is that as long as it doesn't raise the taxes, people will be okay with it…you don't have your ducks all in a row here yet, as to what you're going to do with the water and fire money.” Some supporters of the water and fire tax argued that those needs are existential, while libraries are not. Detractors pointed out that a sales tax is regressive and hits poor people hard, while libraries offer an array of important free resources. A water lawyer quoted Abraham Lincoln and the Bible. Cannabis advocate Ron Edwards ranked the priorities, saying, “this is really the most important issue facing the county: fire and water. Yet the turnout is hard for you guys to really get a feel. When we were talking about expanding cannabis, you had two hundred speakers show up. And I don't know what it will take to get that kind of buy-in and feedback from the general public. I'm just pleading with the public to pay attention to help you guys make a decision, because this is way more important than the cannabis issue.” Union representative Patrick Hickey, who signed on to a letter asking the board not to compete with the library tax for votes, called for a middle way — while also pointing out the strong position of the libraries. Measure A, a 2011 library tax, won 75.66% of the vote. “We need to work together,” he stated. “We can't be fighting each other, because if we fight each other, both initiatives are going to fail.” SEIU Local 1021 has not taken a position on the issue yet, because the Board has not offered its final proposal, but Hickey's own proposal is to ask voters to approve a quarter cent sales tax that would be split between fire and water needs. “Friends of the Library will be submitting their signatures next week, and they have more than enough signatures to get it on the ballot,” he promised. The board has four days to publish its agenda for the next meeting. The item is due at the assessor clerk recorder's office by August 12.

May 2, 2022 — The Board of Supervisors will hold a budget workshop on May 3 to prepare for next month's third quarter budget hearings. Inflation is up, but revenue seems to be available — if there were enough staff to collect it. Supervisor Ted Williams gave a preview of tomorrow's meeting. “We've been meeting with each department, and looking at if they have any outside contracts that they can cut, kind of nickels and dimes,” he said. “Frankly, I don't think we're finding a lot. A lot of those departments already came in with lean budgets. There may be some services that we can halt, but not without a real impact on the services provided to the public.” Patrick Hickey, the field representative for Local SEIU 1021, which represents most of the county government's unionized workers, suspects the situation is not quite so dire, and cautions that more information is needed before making big financial decisions. “What their information showed is that the majority of their revenue streams, property taxes, sales taxes, transient occupancy taxes (ToT), are increasing,” he said. “They're projecting that the cannabis tax may drop significantly. So that's certainly a concern. But they don't have a handle on it, as far as we can tell, on the numbers and on the data. They still haven't released their audit from last year, which normally for counties comes out in the fall. So we really need to have a look at that before we start setting our budget for next year.” Hickey especially wants more detailed information about the reserve funds, which he believes are robust. The county is in negotiations with all its bargaining units, which always advocate for filling vacant positions with qualified people, and paying them a competitive salary to keep them on the job. Hickey listed a few of the departments he thinks could generate revenue if they were fully staffed. “Environmental health specialists are a fundraiser for the county, basically,” he said. “Positions in the treasury or tax collector and auditor-controller's office that make sure that we're collecting all the funds that are due to the county. A number of those department heads have said they're not able to necessarily do an effective job at tracking down all the taxes that are due because they don't have the staff to carry out those assignments.” Union president Julie Beardsley added that some other key positions are funded mostly by state and federal money. “In behavioral health, there are clinical positions that don't offer a competitive salary, so it's really really difficult to hire people,” she argued. “In public health, nurses, social services, social workers.” “I'm actually with the union on this,” Williams said. “I think if we do any hiring, first it should be in the areas that are revenue generating. If there's money that we're not collecting, maybe that staff will be more than paid for by the revenue that they're able to collect.” But he said there is a bit of a general fund match for the state-funded positions. “Some of the non-general fund departments still have a hit on the general fund,” he said. “It may not be much, but when you have zero dollars to work with, if we're paying ten or twenty percent of that overhead, we just don't have it.” He added that the lack of competitive wages results in the county not having “a pool of applicants showing up, eager to take on those jobs. If we were to pay more, that would be out of the county general fund.” And Williams said that if the county raised the wages for an analyst in a mostly state-funded department, it would have to raise the wages for other workers with the same designation in departments that are funded solely by the general fund. At the Board of Supervisors' meeting on April 19, the board agreed to make paying cannabis taxes a requirement for renewing permits, and to consider lowering the minimum tax rate. Interim treasurer tax collector Julie Forrester said delinquent cannabis taxes hadn't been pursued, and made some suggestions for how to go about doing that. Williams said the tax collector is elected, and the Board of Supervisors does not direct her how to run her department. “My personal view is, we need to have a process that doesn't have finger-pointing,” he opined. “It needs to be collaborative.” The county doesn't have exact numbers on how many properties are not on the tax rolls, “but we know some are. We know some that are charged vacant land rates, versus the tax on a three-bedroom house built in the last decade.” The protocol for updating the tax rolls has not yet been established. And Williams is leery of taking action that could cost people their homes if their living situation involves a zoning violation. “And we're broke,” he said. “We have less revenue that's projected for the coming year than we had last year.” Hickey remains skeptical of the sense of emergency that often characterizes budget discussions. “So much of these projections that the county's talking about are speculative,” he said. “It's really over the next number of months, as the county goes through its budgeting process, that we'll get a little bit more clarity on where we're really at,” he predicted. “And I think it's going to turn out to be better than some of the gloom and doom numbers that the county has been bandying about. I think the county is in a much better and healthier position than they're letting on.”

April 21, 2022 — The Board of Supervisors went over budget priorities in a preliminary fiscal review this week, where they learned details about the projected deficit and discussed belt-tightening measures. Interim CEO Darcie Antle summarized the most significant projected shortfalls, saying non-departmental revenue had had to be cut three percent, or $4.3 million, to meet the revenue projections for 2022-23. The health plan deficit is $5.7 million, not including the $2.5 million that have been incurred but not reported. “And as you know, there has been a decrease in cannabis tax revenue,” Antle remarked. The county got a significant cushion last year from ARPA, the American Rescue Plan Act, a nearly $17 million grant intended to aid those most hard-hit by the pandemic. Instead, the board agreed last year to consider using ten million dollars of the grant to provide county core services and infrastructure, with $1.7 million of it to hire new staff, in the hopes of increasing staff to pre-covid levels. Almost one and a half million has already been allocated to vaguely defined support for public health covid response, and another $1.1 million to address negative economic impacts. The fiscal team suggested using further ARPA funds to alleviate the health plan deficit. Supervisor John Haschak expressed some misgivings, saying, “The original intent of the ARPA money was to have real community input into the process. And it doesn't sit well with me that we haven't done any community outreach with the ARPA funds and how they're going to be spent. Obviously we're in a time when we need to fix our budget. But I think we should have been doing community outreach and seeing how the community wanted to use this. Because it was meant for covid relief.” Deputy CEO Tim Hallman painted an overall picture that was not encouraging. Actual year-over-year revenues are down, he said. “From last year to this year, just in the budgeting alone, we're looking at a $1.4 million decrease, which does not include cost of living increases… So even though our costs have gone up, our revenues have gone down,” he concluded. And Deputy CEO Cherie Johnson spoke about the projected $5.7 million deficit in the health plan. “We are researching plan changes and potential increases to premiums,” she told the board. The projected $5.7 shortfall is based on end-of-year claims that will be coming in, and it does include last year's $1.1 million deficit. Hallman elaborated on the projected shortfall in cannabis tax. “It is showing close to a $4.5 million dollar decrease over what was collected in the 20-21 fiscal year,” he reported. “This of course is going to have a huge impact to the net county cost and its allocations.” Michael Katz, the Executive Director of the Mendocino Cannabis Alliance, took the opportunity to highlight the contributions of the cannabis industry to the local economy. “I'm drawn to the information provided in the budget document that shows that in fact the cannabis tax for the year 2020-21 wound up coming in at about $6.4 million, which is about $800,000 more than was previously projected,” he said. “It just goes to show that if you look at the trajectory of the consistent increase in cannabis tax revenue up until this point, that despite the challenges that we've had, our community continues to contribute more and more to this county, in the tiniest footprint imaginable, only 290 acres of licensed cannabis cultivation. And so when you're talking about the budget and how can we identify items that are revenue generating, it's pretty clear that doing everything in our power to save the existing licensed operators in the cannabis program…is the best immediate chance that this county has to maintain the revenues that it has come to expect from this community.” Patrick Hickey spoke on behalf of SEIU 1021, which represents most of the unionized county workers, to request a big-picture view of the budget. “From the presentation, we can't determine if we have a structural deficit, or are just experiencing a routine shortfall,” he declared. “There is no mention of the county's general fund reserve. The reserve is specifically for these sorts of situations. How much is currently in the general fund reserve? These funds are supposed to smooth out the dips and bumps along the way. The ARPA monies are not the only funds the county can access. The Board has identified a number of promising sources of ongoing revenue for beefing up property tax and TOT (transient occupancy tax) enforcement. The county has a number of unfilled positions that are revenue generators. Filling these should be a top priority. We need to remember that a large part of the county's budget is not covered by the general fund, but comes from other sources.” Antle provided more detail on the county's reserve funds, informing the public that the general fund reserve is at $12 million, while monthly expenses are $18 million. “And then the overall reserve is close to $20 million,” she added, which includes the HHSA and other restricted uses. The budget workshop and the third quarter report will be on May third, with the budget hearings taking place over two days on June seventh and eighth.

URGENCIES (2021) is a biennial exhibition by CCA Derry~Londonderry. The exhibition is selected from an open call, seeking to take the temperature of what emerging artists working today with a connection to our region consider to be urgent. Lucie McLaughlin, Clickety-Clack - Part 1, 2021 3 minutes 55 seconds Clickety-Clack by Lucie McLaughlin is a triptych of experimental sound work, a mix of field recording and constructed narrative sequences that include the sounds of a printer dancing, music leaked through walls, the quiet rabble of voices outside a pub and the purr of a washing machine. The artist aims to build connections between the disparate places where words inhabit artwork and art inhabits words. Lucie navigates between moving/still image, performance, writing and sound and uses 'autobiographical' or abstracted anecdotal moments in order to question the essence of performative text and to write from 'hard places' such as mental ill health. Lucie McLaughlin was born in Belfast and is currently based in Glasgow. URGENCIES (2021) features artists and Martin Boyle, Bryony Dunne, Brian Farrell, Edy Fung, Kathryn Graham, Michael Hanna, Patrick Hickey, Siobhán Kelly, Lucie McLaughlin, Christopher Steenson, Frank Wasser and was selected by artist Locky Morris and CCA Director Catherine Hemelryk.

Lucie navigates between moving/still image, performance, writing and sound and uses 'autobiographical' or abstracted anecdotal moments in order to question the essence of performative text and to write from 'hard places' such as mental ill health. Lucie McLaughlin was born in Belfast and is currently based in Glasgow. URGENCIES (2021) features artists and Martin Boyle, Bryony Dunne, Brian Farrell, Edy Fung, Kathryn Graham, Michael Hanna, Patrick Hickey, Siobhán Kelly, Lucie McLaughlin, Christopher Steenson, Frank Wasser and was selected by artist Locky Morris and CCA Director Catherine Hemelryk.

Once the Anglo-Normans had consolidated their military occupation, they started to build their stone castles with some 365 being built between the 13th and 16th centuries. While many lie derelict shadowing many farmyards, Sigginstown was renovated by its new American owners in 2017. In our audio clip, stonemason Patrick Hickey tells us with ghoulish glee about the dreaded machicolations that helped fend off invaders from such castles. The content below appears on the Norman Way interpretive panel at Sigginstown Castle: - This tower house is a wonderful example of the sheer building height that was made possible after the Normans introduced their expert stone construction techniques to the area. Norman Skyscrapers The Norman way of building allowed for multi-storey stone structures that towered over the beautiful green countryside for the first time in Ireland. This changed the country's visual landscape forever. A perfect example is the tower at Lady's Island, another site along the Norman Way in Wexford. In the centuries that followed, these same building techniques were used to construct tower houses such as Sigginstown. There is another impressive tower house on the Norman Way at Ballyhealy. As you travel along the Norman Way, you may spot several Norman inspired tower houses with more modern extensions built on to the side like this one. Discover the Norman Way for Yourself See if you can spot the long, enclosed ‘machicolation' on the outside of this tower. A ‘machicolation' is an opening in the battlements of a Norman tower or castle. This opening allowed for stones, hot oil, or other unpleasant things to be dropped down on to unlucky enemy attackers below.
