Club Manzanita Don’t Ask Those Questions!

Submitted By: rkinor@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
The City’s “new ask us your questions initiative” should perhaps be better described as “ask us your questions that we want to answer”. Given that the City Budget for next fiscal year is now under development and the Budget Committee held a workshop on April 9 to begin this process, I submitted some observations and questions based on what the City Manager told us during development of the FY 22/23 Budget in the hopes some answers would be forthcoming. The City Manager and Mayor apparently believed that questions were really not what they wanted citizens to ask and did not include mine in the Budget Committee packet for citizens to see nor were citizens invited to ask questions at the meeting. As you may recall, the City hired a consultant four years ago for about $30,000 to deliver a model to justify taking overhead allocation transfers from the Water Operating Fund for City Hall staff. After two years, the Council decided that neither they nor citizens could understand the model and they stopped using it in favor of the new Warrenton methodology. It now appears that rather than admit that they can not now explain how this model works in Manzanita, they will simply ignore answering any questions. I have observed a pattern with the City over the years of making statements or representations that were expedient at the moment to convince citizens to see things as the City wants us to see them. Whether it’s the City Hall project or in this case, the ever evolving justifications to take money out of the Water Operating Fund to spend on non water utility related expenses through transfers to the General Fund, the strategy relies on the expectation that we will forget what we were told earlier and be satisfied with newly discovered explanations today. Until the City can figure out how it wants to pursue its newfound interest in being transparent and answering our questions on important issues, I will continue to share my observations and ask my questions on available social media. In the meantime, if you are interested in seeing the questions that the Mayor and City Manager did not want you to see at the Budget Committee meeting, you can find them here: tinyurl.com/czsdb798 Randy Kugler

Amicus Brief – Remembering Lanisha

Amicus Brief – Remembering Lanisha

What they call you is one thing.
What you answer to is something else.
 
Lucille Clifton, 1936 – 2010

That night it was her birthday.

We were at the Lighthouse,

a local bar and gathering place.

You were sitting by yourself at

the bar. Not for you and you alone

did I refuse to kiss your angry,

drunken axe, dismiss or ignore

all the times you were wronged,

not heard, demeaned, all the times

you were frightened and confused.

When I came to order at the bar,

what you apparently saw and were

imagining, was not what was actually

there. For your own reasons you were

wanting to hurt, get down, fight.

Full of partying intentions, I was wearing

my favorite old coat, unraveling a bit,

threadbare, and apparently from Bolivia.

When you asked if I was homeless

it was clear you believed I had no

right or reason to be at the bar,

the gathering, or occupy space at all.

It was all very sad and a response was

needed that was not available.

When I answered the fist of your

surprising question, “What are you

homeless,” I could not sanction nor

join yet another confused distraction,

nor support the ignorance that brought

this violence to you that you were now

bringing to me. My factual answer,

“Not at this time.” did not in any way

quiet what was burning in you and the dance

of our random meeting continued in ways

I have now forgotten. Finally someone,

claiming to know each of us, said something

that allowed you to let go, begin to settle back,

release. I was grateful that at on this night,

loathing quieted, no more blood would be lost.
