SEQUIM — Housing and social services were among the topics discussed at a Sequim City Council candidate forum earlier this month.

Similar topics were considered by William Armacost and Kathy Downer, who are running for Position 1, during the Oct. 3 League of Women Voters Forum. A story specifically about that contest was published in the Peninsula Daily News on Oct. 14.

Also speaking at that forum were Jim Black and Dan Butler, running for Position 2, and Patrick Day and Harmony Rutter, running for Position 6. Their views are published in this story.

All candidates are running in Tuesday’s General election.

Housing

Rutter, a Washington State University Extension office staffer, described affordable housing as a
“big emergency.”

She said she wants to continue the council’s initiatives, including how to make accessory dwelling units a better part of the solution, changing zoning, and attracting more apartments to the city.

Day, a retired security police officer, said the city is moving in the right direction, but he’d like to evaluate utility rates for new developments and using land around the city for workforce housing and apartments.

“Our land and city footprint is relatively small,” he said. “We are running out of areas to put this that are reasonable.”

Butler, a part-time church administrator and a language researcher, supports ongoing city initiatives and speaking to developers about how to incentivize developing workforce housing and expand land trust initiatives similar to Habitat for Humanity’s proposed city project.

Black, a retired software engineer, also said he supports Habitat’s project, and that the city needs to look at zoning and permitting, and work with Clallam County officials on building housing outside of city limits.

“This is a small area on the (North Olympic) Peninsula,” he said. “People don’t necessarily have to live in Sequim. They can commute to work. We can try to work out options there.”

Services

As Sequim grows, Black said it’s showing “concerning signs of change for the worse, including tent encampments, stores locking up merchandise, and people living on the streets.”

“We have to do better than Seattle, Portland and San Francisco,” he said.

Some of his preferred solutions include offering “full pathways to recovery,” and work training.

Butler feels the city should provide more funding for health and human services.

“The current crisis we have with human services is systemic to our our national policy and Sequim is not the source of the problem and the solution won’t be won’t be solved in Sequim,” he said.

He said he’s learning to be more mindful of less privileged people and learn their stories.

While working at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, Butler said he engages many people sleeping by their building and he hasn’t met anyone who made a deliberate choice to live without shelter.

“Each one has a story,” he said.

Black said what the city spends is appropriate to what’s effective.

His concern, he said, is for people addicted to drugs and/or have mental illness and getting them help, trained and back to work if possible. He said connecting them with nonprofits like Oxford House would be effective along with training more young people in trades.

Health and human service funding contracts should be explored more “hand-in-hand” with agencies, Day said.

He wants to invest more in infrastructure for children, too, so “they stay out of trouble and they have things to do and they build their minds and their experiences.”

Day considers mental health issues and drug/alcohol addiction important in dealing with homelessness. He said that as an officer, he ran a methadone clinic inside a prison and that 80 percent of those with drug and alcohol issues were self-medicating mental health problems. Once they were being treated for both addiction and mental health issues, Day said, clients had a 70 percent recovery rate.

Rutter said she feels the city should spend more on health and human service funding while working with regional organizations to help people who need support. If elected, she said she’ll make sure the city is showing up to provide services to those who need it.

“There’s so many excellent excellent organizations out there, and I really look forward to working with them,” she said.

CTE

Both Black and Butler supported the city council’s decision to pledge $250,000 to a Career and Technical Education (CTE) building at Sequim High School, despite the project being put on hold.

Black said he grew up in Milwaukee, Wis., where there were a lot of options to pursue going into a trade, and his two sons learned computer networking in high school.

Butler said providing technical training is essential as Sequim has moved away from an emphasis on agriculture to a service-based and seasonal tourist-based economy.

He wants the city to look more into high speed internet, more bike- and pedestrian-friendly streets and sidewalks, and more collaboration with sister cities.

Day said union representatives he’s spoken with nationwide say there needs to be more service-related training and schools need to add vocational training.

He said programs for woodworking, mechanics and plumbing — similar to when he was in school — are going away and those “career fields are dying for people to get in there and work.”

Rutter said she would support the project if it came back to the council for a pledge. She also feels it’s important for the council to help safeguard natural resources and help increase access to higher speed internet in the area, as it would lead more businesses to bring their work to Sequim.

Climate

Black said his emphasis is to address drug addiction and mental health issues.

“A small city like Sequim doesn’t have the kind of money to deal with that if that gets out of hand,” he said.

Additionally, Black said they need to make schools attractive to people who want to move here.

On the city’s Planning Commission, Butler said he’s become familiar with the city’s Comprehensive Plan and how it drives investment priorities for infrastructure and what roads, sewer and water projects are prioritized. He said the most important part initially of the 2025-2035 plan will be community stakeholder meetings.

San Francisco’s board of directors has signaled that it stands ready to right past racial injustices — at least in spirit.

In a unanimous vote Tuesday, the 11 members accepted a draft plan with more than 100 redress recommendations for the city’s eligible black residents. Those proposals include a whopping $5 million one-time payment to each adult and a full payoff of personal debt — including credit cards, taxes, and student loans. Black residents could also earn at least $97,000 annually for 250 years and buy homes within the city limits for $1.

The board’s move was largely procedural – an intermediate step in a much longer process. It does not bind the city to any of the ideas put forward in the 60-page proposal by the San Francisco African American Reparations Advisory Committee, which was tasked in 2020 to “address the institutional, city-sanctioned harm inflicted on African American communities.” became .”

“We are not here today to say which recommendations we will support or advance. There is still work to be done,” said bill sponsor Shamann Walton before voting during the 7 1/2 hour meeting.

A final report with feedback from the Supervisory Board is due in June. The board is scheduled to meet again on this topic in September.

Nonetheless, the vote was met with fanfare from residents and the large cash payout made national headlines. But some longtime civil rights and reparations activists have criticized the board and the committee’s financial restitution figures, calling it political theater aimed at delaying significant change.

Some activists have criticized the plan as unrealistic

“This black community doesn’t need to be built on tricks and failures. Your hopes shouldn’t just be raised by words, words, words,” Rev. Amos Brown told NPR a day after the meeting.

Brown is not only senior pastor of Third Baptist San Francisco, the city’s oldest black church, but also president of the San Francisco NAACP. He said he has been “in the civil rights struggle for 68 years” and was taught by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Frustrated and angry, Brown noted that he had asked the board to reject the $5 million payment proposal before the meeting.

To be clear, Brown said he expects the cash refund to be part of any reparations package by the city, state and federal government. But first, he said, officials need to focus on the future and the best way forward toward equality and justice. For Brown, that means investing in housing, education, health care, economic empowerment, and cultural centers for San Francisco’s dwindling black community.

At its peak in the 1970s, African Americans made up about 13.5% of the city’s population. As of 2022, the number dropped to 5.7%. This makes it one of the largest cities in the country with one of the lowest percentages of black residents.

“Deliberate action should be taken to stop the bleeding of this black population if we’re going to have any blacks left to make amends with,” Brown said.

Brown also noted the city’s budget deficit. “You know there’s no money to pay for it,” Brown said. “So they just paid lip service. It is not fair. It’s not honest.”

By voting to accept the proposal without any indication of how they would fund it, politicians have both options, according to Brown.

“They offer low-hanging fruit that seems like a win, but you know you’re only going to win [lead to] more studies. And that’s a different game. Another delaying tactic. This frustrates people until things unravel and then self-destruct. We have to stop this. It’s time America paid up and acted with substance, with integrity and accountability,” Brown said.

During Tuesday’s meeting, one of the plan’s authors stated that “the committee has not been mandated to conduct a feasibility study. The task was to record the damage and determine the value.”

Others believe the proposals are an important first step towards justice

Andre Perry, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies racial and structural inequality, has written about the government’s obligation to pay reparations. He contradicts the notion that San Francisco’s big ticket items are a red herring.

“This argument about whether or not this is a distraction doesn’t necessarily hold me because in so many cases I hear people say that very serious ideas about reparations are fantastic or foolhardy. So I don’t necessarily jump when I hear a big number more because people often make the same arguments about a very rigorous analysis,” Perry told NPR.

“The mere idea of ​​reparations is impossible for many.”

Perry has yet to read the details of San Francisco’s draft proposal. But he said more often than not, the experts who draft plans that involve large sums of money “recognize the scale of the discrimination and the collective economic impact that many different discriminatory policies have not only over the course of their lives, but also over the life of their family.” person can have. ”

Even if it seems all but impossible for a community to pay out that sum, having a record of that assessment is imperative, he added.

He acknowledges that Brown’s concerns stem from lessons learned from the failure of other federal and local efforts.

“In a place like San Francisco, you mostly have what is, and I’ll put that in quotes, a progressive city in an unquoted ‘progressive state.’ And so much of what can be presented can just soothe the fantasies of a progressive left as theater,” Perry said. “And that doesn’t do anyone any service.”

But black communities seeking justice cannot operate from a place of fear, he said.

Other groups of people have succeeded in creating compensation systems for egregious injustices. In the US, Native Americans have been given land and billions of dollars because they were forcibly evicted from their land. Japanese Americans imprisoned during World War II eventually received $1.5 billion in compensation. And the American government played a crucial role in ensuring that Jews received reparations for the Holocaust.

If San Francisco’s proposal goes ahead, it will take a first step, along with other cities, toward some form of local, state and federal redress, Perry said.

“Exclusive, discriminatory politics didn’t start in Washington. It started in the municipalities,” he explained. “Things like redlining started in Baltimore and eventually became codified by the federal government. But they started locally. Therefore, it is important that local governments also begin to develop their reparations policies, which are spreading all the way to Washington, DC.”

OAKLAND (KPIX) — It was an emotional night for many students in the Oakland Unified School District Monday as they faced the possibility of losing their schools. Hundreds of community members showed up for the school board meeting to oppose the campus closures and consolidations proposed for the next two school years.

In 2006, Oakland embraced a small-school model to better serve impoverished neighborhoods. But there are those on the school board who think that was a financial mistake and they’re looking to change it. And they’re not wasting any time doing it.

The proposed closure list was released to the public on Sunday. Six schools — Brookfield, Carl Munck, Prescott, Grass Valley, Parker, Community Day School — are recommended for closure at the end of this academic year. Two other schools — Horace Mann Elementary and Korematsu Discovery Academy — would close after next year, with their students then being reassigned to other schools.

Additionally, three schools would merge onto other campuses after this school year with Manzanita Community School moving to join Fruitvale Elementary the following year. The community just found out about the possible closure last Friday and it has organized quickly to try to save this school.

The Manzanita Community School held a Monday night viewing party, as parents, teachers and students united to fight the possible school closure. On Zoom, roughly 1600 people raised their hand for a chance to speak during the board meeting.

“Teachers have really helped me to get my children to the right path of education,” said Manzanita parent Tania Chi.

“You’re looking for family involvement but your also looking for that personal touch, said Pablo Pitcher Deproto. “When you have a smaller school, you just have more of an ability to reach those students.”

OUSD says it has too many small schools which makes it difficult to upkeep facilities and drives down salaries for teachers.

“Part of the narrative is we can’t give the teachers raises unless we close schools is incredibly offensive to pit us and our salaries against our school communities,” says Carrie Anderson, a teacher at Manzanita Community School.

Chi thinks the closure would have a huge impact on the largely low-income families at the school.

“I think parents would have to get up and move,” she said. “They would have to make a lot of schedule re-arranging throughout their day, and we don’t have a lot of help throughout the day.”

Oakland Unified officials said they are seeking community engagement by holding the special meeting Monday night. However, that meeting comes just one day after the list was released.

“How are we going to engage?” said Regina Morones, a Manzanita staff employee since 2006 when the school was founded. “How are we going to say anything? How are we going to show up at the board meeting if it’s on Zoom? So, to me, it’s all a strategy to make sure there’s as little push back as possible.”

Board President Gary Yee said OUSD has too many small, under-enrolled schools and it’s a financial burden preventing the district from providing adequate service to the community. He said larger, more regional schools would save money that could be put toward higher teacher salaries and a more effective operation.

Though the district is not currently in a financial crisis, Yee said there’s no use waiting for things to get worse.

When he was asked if it was reasonable to take a vote only eight days after the closure list was released to the public, Yee replied, “Ummm…I understand the anger and the worries and the concern. I believe the process is one that is comprehensive and sufficiently detailed for us to consider.”

As for holding the public meeting the day after the list was revealed, Yee added he didn’t expect that anyone’s minds would be changed anyway.

“It’s super hard for people to consider something other than what they’re familiar with,” he said.

District 5 Director Mike Hutchinson alerted the community about the 6 schools on the closure list.

“We have no financial crisis,” sats Hutchinson. “We have a mismanagement crisis.”

Hutchinson is outraged that some of his fellow school board members are trying to push through school closures, especially during a pandemic.

Hutchinson adds, “There’s been no engagement, no process, they gave a ten day timeline to close schools permanently. The biggest issue is we don’t have an emergency going on right now that says we have to make these decisions in the next few days.”

But what the community gets from Manzanita seems pretty important. The school keeps a storeroom stocked with food, clothing and school supplies for families that can’t afford them. But they also have everyday staples like toilet paper and toothbrushes.

Afterschool program director Angela Phung said that could change if they had to move to a regional school.

“They wouldn’t be able to get what they need for their families,” she said.

OUSD’s mission statement says it strives to be a “full-service community district.” Parents with children at the schools being impacted by the proposal are left wondering how far they will have to travel to access it.

Board members say they plan to vote on the proposal eight days later at another special meeting scheduled for February 8th.

CLAYTON (CBS SF) – Clayton City Council will discuss next week a motion from the city police union for a COVID-19-related “hero payment” for officials funded by the city’s share of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding will.

The idea came about during the council meeting on December 7th when council members expressed interest in the police union idea and possible expansion to other city employees.

CONTINUE READING: Some critics are still skeptical of the revised, scaled-down plan to repair the Millennium Tower

An employee report for Tuesday’s meeting said, “One of the identified spending categories for ARPA funding is the premium payment for key workers, defined as those who work in critical infrastructure areas. In the case of local governments, since all of our employees are considered disaster relief workers and therefore essential employees, the premium payment would be a reimbursable expense for all employees in the city.

“In addition, most of the city’s employees offered some or all of the services in person earlier than many others in other jurisdictions, as Clayton was ahead of many other cities in the county in terms of opening up to the public,” the report said.

The report suggests that if the council decides to move forward, lump-sum payments be made to staff employed by the city before March 3, 2021. Up to 18 full-time employees and two part-time employees could be eligible.

Clayton has received $ 1.45 million in ARPA funding, less than $ 200,000 of which has been spent, the majority of which has been spent on Clayton Cares grants for pandemic-hit households, nonprofits, and small businesses.

In a December 2 letter, Rich Enea, president of the Clayton Police Officers Association, called for “hero pay” for police officers.

“During the Covid-19 pandemic, every police officer stayed on track and kept coming to work to protect this wonderful city,” wrote Enea. “While other city workers could work from home, our police officers didn’t have that choice. During the pandemic, nobody knew what it could bring. Like everyone else in the country, our police officers were concerned about getting sick or worse, but bringing the disease to loved ones. Unfortunately, one of our police officers got infected with COVID last year. “

Enea pointed out that other cities, including Concord, are also compensating first responders.

WASHINGTION (BCN) – After the U.S. Senate passed an infrastructure bill this week, California is poised to receive billions of federal dollars, Senator Alex Padilla said on Wednesday.

However, the $ 1 trillion bipartisan legislative package has yet to be approved by the House of Representatives before the money goes into the state.

Padilla, who was attended by San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo and San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria for a press conference Wednesday, said he was excited about what the funding could do.

“With the package that has already been approved, California will receive tens of billions of dollars to modernize its physical infrastructure, improve public transport and ensure safe drinking water,” said Padilla. “California knows all too well that these investments cannot come soon enough.”

For Californians, Padilla said the priorities are health care – as the COVID-19 delta variant spreads – economic recovery and climate change as the state faces another drought and forest fires.

Padilla specifically pointed out a new federal program aimed at electrifying the country’s school bus fleets in order to make the switch from diesel to zero-emission buses.

“This is great for the environment, great for public health, and great for academic achievement because healthy children learn better,” he said.

The Senator also highlighted grants cities can apply to weather critical infrastructure and be better prepared for drought and forest fires.

For San Jose and the Bay Area, Liccardo said these grants are critical.

“Of course, like so many others, we are aware that investments in the railways, in the water infrastructure, in the resilience of the networks and in the climate mean jobs,” said Liccardo. “And for us that is the way to a just economic recovery.”

He said his South Bay city could apply for grants and secure funding from the $ 5 billion that will harden the power grid to offset forest fire threats and $ 8 billion for water infrastructure.

The mayor said that if he received the money, it would quadruple the amount of recycled groundwater San Jose produces, which is currently 8 million gallons a day.

“Groundwater replenishment could be a great way for us to recycle water to expand our supply and to do so in an environmentally friendly way,” said Liccardo.

“And it couldn’t come at a better time,” Liccardo said as Santa Clara County and much of the state grapple with shockingly low reservoir levels and a severe drought.

Funding the infrastructure bill could also ensure San Jose receives enough cash for the BART expansion, which would bring more than 100,000 passengers from the city’s Diridon Station to San Francisco, Oakland, and the rest of the BART system.

“Diridon Station (would) ultimately become the busiest multimodal facility in the area with seven different transit lines,” Liccardo said, emphasizing that BART expansions could also connect San Jose-based employees with more affordable housing in the Central Valley.

In line with the bill’s traffic-focused goals, San Jose could also receive funding from the $ 5 billion allocated to Vision Zero projects that aim to stop pedestrian and automobile deaths by installing flashing pedestrian lights and protected bike lanes and signal upgrades, among others.

Another important aspect of the infrastructure law for Liccardo is the funding to close the digital divide.

He cited federal and local funding over the past two years that has enabled San Jose to support more than 100,000 residents – many of whom are low-income – and connect them to free community Wi-Fi in their own homes.

“We plan to expand this to more than 300,000 San Jose residents by next year,” Liccardo said. “And this investment in funding from the federal government will be of decisive help.”

So with infrastructure bills funding, 27 percent of Californians – more than 10 million people – are eligible for the affordable connectivity program, which offers discounts of up to $ 50 per month on broadband bills.

“And that’s so important because we know that cost is the main obstacle,” said Liccardo.

The Affordable Connectivity Benefits Program is also just one of many programs listed in the Broadband Services and Access Improvement Bill, for which the Senate has allocated more than $ 100 billion.

For Padilla, the unifying thread in the infrastructure law and its focus on justice, he said.

“Far too often, the communities most impacted by the environment invest the least in or see fewer opportunities when it comes to major infrastructure investments,” said Padilla.

It is unclear when parliament will vote on the bipartisan infrastructure law.
