COVID-19 pandemic forces local governments to adopt tech solutions, host meetings online

Local government has been shoved and shoved hard by the coronavirus outbreak. And yes, things are bad.
But in one way, the pandemic is having a positive effect. It has pushed councils, boards and committees hard into the technology of the 21st Century. Elected officials, usually constrained by five-year plans, the bidding process and endless committee meetings, have been thrown headfirst into the world of virtual meeting apps.
Suddenly, there’s not enough time for preliminary discussions and staff investigations. Officials are forced to just try them out. And — temporarily at least — government has become a bit easier to access because of it.
Meetings from even the small cities are available to watch from home. Roll calls are being done where voice votes used to suffice. And soon, some viewers may be able to offer public comment without leaving their computers.

Muni-Bond Market Reviving After Fed Moves to Ease Cash Crunch

The Federal Reserve is helping revive the $3.9 trillion municipal bond market.
… as many as 200 new negotiated state and local debt offerings will price over the next few days, almost double the amount issued last week, fixed-income strategist Kevin Giddis said in a note to clients.
That would mark a turnaround for a segment of the capital markets that had virtually shut down after concerns about the coronavirus prompted a series of steep sell-offs last month when investors pulled out their funds. The market has since been steadied, with the Federal Reserve last month moving to increase liquidity for money-market funds and last week rolling out a plan to lend as much as $500 billion to states and local governments to help them avoid a cash crunch in the middle of the pandemic.

Shawnee county leaders say their employees don’t need to worry about a pay cut

Shawnee County leaders said Monday their employees don’t need to worry about taking a pay cut right now.
County Commissioner Kevin Cook said the county’s emergency cash reserve has $33 million in it.
He said the county started saving that money more than seven years ago in case of a crisis like the coronavirus pandemic.
“We are not looking at having that budget cut to our employees,” Cook said. “That does not say that we are not susceptible to economic downturns, but we do have a healthy cash reserve.”
In some parts of the country, governments are pushing back property tax deadlines, but Shawnee County officials haven’t yet decided whether to push them back locally.
As of Monday afternoon, property taxes are still due by Sunday, May 10th.

Shawnee County health officer: Store employees should cover faces at all times

Staff members in stores “should cover their faces with masks or scarfs at all times,” Shawnee County health officer Gianfranco Pezzino said in a letter sent Monday to Shawnee County retail establishments.
The letter also outlines specific steps Pezzino is asking stores to take to maintain adequate social distancing.
“We hope to address the uneven compliance regarding social gathering restrictions by strongly recommending and encouraging these measures,” Pezzino said in a news release put out late Monday afternoon. “We trust that our county’s retail partners will do their part and adhere as best they can to the recommended measures set forth to help mitigate the transmission of COVID-19.”
Monday’s letter said operators of large stores, shopping malls and other retail establishments where large numbers of people are present should monitor the areas around their stores and ensure people are appropriately directed to store entrances.

Training a constant for Topeka firefighters

Repetition is important when it comes to firefighter training.
Fire crews may run through one scenario in which a building is on fire, then run through the same scenario but this time it is a house fire. The third round may be a high-rise fire.
Making sure firefighters are prepared for any sort of situation is critical, and the repetitive nature of the work can be found in how many hours crews spending training each year.
“It takes at least two hours of training every day they work to make their minimum total,” said Alan Stahl, public education officer for the Topeka Fire Department.
Six men ran a variety of scenarios this past Wednesday afternoon at the department’s headquarters, 324 S.E. Jefferson St., as part of their training.

Holton Community Hospital, Jackson Co. EMS find ways to overcome challenges amid coronavirus outbreak

Like many other hospitals and EMS crews across the country, Holton Community Hospital and Jackson County EMS are doing their best to make do with what they have during the coronavirus pandemic.
Being a smaller hospital, Holton Community Hospital has been faced with some challenges amid the outbreak, like limited access to supplies, having enough space and being able to treat those in need of intensive care. But, they’re finding ways to overcome them.
“We’ve learned to think outside the box to come up with things we have on hand, buildings that we have and how can we utilize what we already have here,” said nurse Jennifer Collins.
Whether that’s setting up a make-shift drive-up testing center in a garage out back or setting up tents outside the building to separate patients with coronavirus symptoms from other patients.

EMS, hospital recycling masks

Local healthcare professionals are now relying on rows of paper sacks to help protect them in the battle against the novel coronavirus.

Both hospital personnel and emergency responders have been going through hundreds of high-quality N-95 facemasks daily since the outbreak reach Kansas and Hutchinson, to protect themselves from catching the dangerous virus that is spread through aerosolized droplets from those who are infected.

Under normal circumstances, a provider would discard all the gear after dealing with a single patient, to protect against the spread of the virus.

Shawnee County Commissioner: Strong financial reserves help county deal with crisis

The decision by Shawnee County commissioners to strengthen the county’s reserve fund is paying off in this time of crisis, Commissioner Kevin Cook said Monday.
He made reference at that morning’s meeting to an announcement Topeka’s city government made Friday indicating the coronavirus crisis had forced it to reduce salaries and implement a hiring freeze.
Shawnee County’s government doesn’t need to reduce salaries or workforce at this time, as its reserve balance rose from $3 million to $33 million after Cook and former Commissioner Bob Archer joined that body seven and a half years ago, Cook said.
“Fortunately, Shawnee County has a strong reserve balance to draw from in a time of crisis,” he said.

NABL asks Congress, Treasury for direct-pay bonds, advance refunding

The National Association of Bond Lawyers proposed a plethora of actions Congress and the Treasury could take to help state and local governments weather the pandemic.
In a letter sent to the Treasury and Congress late last week, NABL asked for several legislative and administrative actions to help state and local governments as well as 501(c)(3) organizations dealing with cash flow and liquidity issues due to COVID-19. NABL wants those actions to be done as soon as possible in a new coronavirus stimulus bill.
“Adopting these proposals will enable state and local governments to access much-needed capital at a time when support to our communities is of paramount and immediate concern,” wrote Rich Moore, NABL president.

State and local governments face budget crunch, hurting hopes for a quick economic recovery

Spiking unemployment around the country and dire predictions for second quarter economic growth have created a budget crunch for many state and local governments, and it could be a long-term drag on the United States economy.
Robert Dye, chief economist at Comerica, said that sharp declines in employment and consumer sales will hurt tax revenues for state and local budgets, which often have legal restrictions that keep them from filling shortfalls with debt, and weaken a key source of jobs in the country.
“That certainly is a big load of challenge for state and local governments … they can’t run deficit financing. And the other thing is that state and local government spending is bigger than federal spending, so it’s very important to the economy,” Dye said.

Sen. Moran Announces $325 Million to Kansas Hospitals & Health Care Providers

U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) today announced $325 million in relief funding to Kansas health care providers and hospitals. This information was confirmed to Sen. Moran by Vice President Mike Pence this morning. The funding, which will support hospitals fighting COVID-19 on the frontlines, is part of the $100 billion provider relief fund established in the Phase III Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and is being administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
“The CARES Act created a fund to help meet the needs of hospitals and health care providers, and today over $325 million is being distributed across Kansas,” said Sen. Moran. “As hospitals are seeing significant revenue losses and others see their costs go up because of COVID-19, these new resources will be a necessary benefit not just to our hospitals, but to the communities and patients they serve. In the fight against COVID-19, these new resources will put our health care providers in a better position to keep us healthy and meet the needs of Kansans.”

Sedgwick County asking for volunteers or else could mandate furloughs

Sedgwick County is looking for employees to voluntarily furlough or officials could have to choose who isn’t essential.
The Sedgwick County Commission is expected to weigh in during its meeting Wednesday. Commissioners received an email about the furlough Friday when a separate email from County Manager Tom Stolz went out to the 2,500-plus employees, notifying them about the voluntary furlough as a result of the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Here’s how Sedgwick County epidemiologist ‘disease detectives’ investigate coronavirus

The new coronavirus pandemic has led the Sedgwick County Health Department to more than double its number of epidemiologists, the health care workers who investigate and analyze data on infectious diseases.
“We are the ones that if you come down with chicken pox or whooping cough, we’re going to be calling you to figure out who you’ve been around that could have given it to you and also who you’ve been around that you could have spread it to,” said Kaylee Hervey, the epidemiology program manager for the Sedgwick County Health Department.
“Our goal is always to prevent the spread of disease and protect the health of the public. With coronavirus, we’re essentially doing what we always do. We’re just doing it at a much larger scale.”

Topeka city officials take 3% pay cuts while expecting significant revenue shortfall

Topeka’s city government appears destined, because of the coronavirus pandemic, to bring in significantly less sales tax revenue this year than it planned, city media relations coordinator Molly Hadfield announced in a news release.
The city is responding by taking steps that include reducing salaries by 3% for management and executive staff, asking employees represented by labor unions to accept a 3% pay cut and implementing a freeze on hiring, except for jobs for which a critical or citywide operational need exists, Hadfield said in the release put out Friday.
“This type of loss in one budget year is substantial and cannot be made up with minor changes in the budget,” she said. “It will require major changes in expenses.”
Still, city manager Brent Trout said in the release that the city has engaged in sound financial management, which has given it the ability to manage decreases in revenue during this pandemic while still keeping essential services going.

Osawatomie hires new city manager (might be the first city manager ever appointed while in quarantine)

Michael Scanlon said he is eager to begin work as Osawatomie’s new city manager – as soon as he gets out of quarantine.
The 58-year-old Scanlon did not contract coronavirus (COVID-19) but he lived in one of Colorado’s highly contagious counties in high ski country that was on a no-travel list in many states.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) last month issued an advisory that anyone who had traveled or worked in Pitkin County (Aspen, Colo.) should go into self-quarantine for 14 days as soon as they returned to Kansas.
Scanlon made his way from Aspen to Kansas and promptly went into self-quarantine. The veteran city government official, who said he has not exhibited any symptoms associated with COVID-19, will soon complete his quarantine period and is set to begin his new post in Osawatomie on Monday, April 20.

Fed muni purchases seen as ‘smart move’ for market’s long-term stability

The municipal market rallied Thursday, with yields declining at least 10 basis points across the curve against a backdrop of the Federal Reserve’s announcement that it would purchase up to $500 billion of short-term municipal notes.
While the announcement signaled the Fed would prop up short-term munis, long-term bonds are not going to be a part of the programs, at least for now.
Many participants said the shift to a more constructive tone was based more on the fundamentals of the municipal market itself than the news that the Fed would selectively purchase up to 24-month securities from states — whose officials would then select which cities would have access to the programs.

Johnson County cuts $20M from budget, furloughs staff as COVID-19 depletes revenues

As the coronavirus pandemic takes its toll on local revenue, Johnson County has furloughed more than 260 employees and has a plan to cut about $20 million from its budget, officials announced Thursday.

But Johnson County commissioners warned that those cuts will likely only begin to address the shortfalls as the outbreak continues to overturn nearly every facet of life.

Scott Neufeld, budget director, estimates the county could lose between $18 million and $38 million in tax revenues. Officials project sales tax revenues will take the biggest hit, although the county could also see a significant reduction on investment income due to the Federal Reserve’s emergency cuts to interest rates.

Sedgwick County group limit of 10 remains in effect for churches

One of the biggest church attendance days of the year, Easter, is just around the corner.  Combine that with some lawmakers’ concerns about constitutional protections of religious freedom and there’s now a fight at the statehouse over whether Kansas can ban church gatherings of more than 10 people.

It’s a fight Sedgwick County leaders see as partisan bickering that does not apply in their county.

“I don’t think there’s a Democrat virus and a Republican virus,” said Pete Meitzner, chair of the Sedgwick County Commission, at a news briefing Thursday morning.  “But it kind of gets that way a little bit federally and, obviously, at the state level.  And we’re just trying to do what’s reasonable.”

Meat plants are shutting down as workers get sick

Across the country, major meat processors are starting to shut down plants as employees are getting infected by coronavirus.

Tyson, one of the world’s largest meat processors, suspended operations at its Columbus Junction, Iowa, pork plant this week after more than two dozen workers contracted Covid-19 there. Tyson said it would divert livestock that was headed to Columbus Junction to other pork plants in the region to minimize the impact on its production.

JBS USA, another major meat processor, has stopped operations at its beef plant in Souderton, Pennsylvania with plans to reopen April 16, after two weeks. The company decided to close the facility after several members of the plant’s management team stopped going to work because they were experiencing flu-like symptoms, a company representative explained, adding that all other JBS USA’s plants are still open. Cargill has also paused operations at its protein plant in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, where 900 people typically work.

Sedgwick County plans to increase COVID-19 testing capacity

Another threshold reached in Kansas in the effort to respond to COVID-19. More than 10,000 Kansans have been tested for the disease as of Wednesday.

Every county in Kansas has tested at least one person for COVID 19.

It’s a number state health officials wish was higher, but in this fight where success is measured in baby steps, a small increase in testing capacity is a win.

That’s what Sedgwick County plans to start doing Thursday.

Cosmosphere cuts jobs, furloughs most staff during pandemic

Shut down by COVID-19 at what is typically the start of its peak visitor season, the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson has permanently laid off four staff and furloughed another 75% of its remaining employees.

That historically carries over into March, April and half of May, when both public and school attendance is high.

Congressional leaders proposed another $100 mill for hospitals, $150 mill for state, local government

Hospitals would receive another $100 billion in federal emergency grants and an additional $150 billion would go to state and local governments under a fast-evolving plan by congressional leaders to supplement the CARES Act even before they tackle the CARES Act 2.
The $2.2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, signed into law March 28 has quickly proven to have insufficient funding.
“Congress has its priorities right in this case,” Chuck Samuels of Mintz Levin, counsel to the National Association of Health & Educational Facilities Finance Authorities, said in an email Wednesday. “Adding to the cash available to vital public and health entities is job one at this point.”
