Hello,
One thing that the impeachment acquittal showed is that the repugnican party has been hollowed out at the State and national levels and filled with a hodge podge of alternative reality whack jobs. The quislings in the Senate were on full display with their impeachment acquittal votes. More important than the disgusting public sniveling of old overweight, rich white guys was that it was a demonstration that the white supremacy authoritarian, anti-science ideology that has been latent in Republicans for many years has been brought to the fore and made permanent by Trump and his toadies. Those senators last week were living proof that vaccines work, trump shot em up and they demonstrated their immunity to reality, facts and truth...who said they were against vaccines?
There are ways to combat the realism distortion now going on in Arizona. Follow the money and shine the light of truth upon them. Next issue, I will outline some research methods that any of us can do to publicize their funders. These Arizona legislators at the national and state level are trying to for suppress voting, take away women's control over their own bodies, criminalize morality, stop local efforts for police and justice reform, and enshrine antiscience as legislation. (see below)
Deucy has not dispersed about $300-400 million of the $1.9 billion in CARES money he received months ago. He is talking lowering taxes cause there is a state surplus. There is a state surplus cause he took $400 mil of CARES money and gave it to state agencies and then took the same amount of their budgeted money and put it into the general fund. This is an opportunity for the mayor and council to write the guv and tell him to get off about $1 mil of the CARES dough and send it to Bisbee. Getting Chiricahua clinics Copper Queen hospital, many physicians, Bisbee Unified schools, and business owners to sign onto the letter then doing some local and phoenix publicity around it, might just be the vasoline needed to get some budget balancing dough into Bisbee. Wouldn't cost much and would as a benefit would bring some attention to Bisbee.
Quite a bit going on in Bisbee as noted below. The town is slowly bouncing back from the trump virus spikes in December and January that slowed visitation. Our December and early January occupancy at the Inn were terrible, but late Jan. and early Feb were okedoke. I suspect we'll see a slow increase in visitors as we move into what used to be high season. (speaking of high season, the lines at the Green Pharmacy are going down Naco Hwy.)
I received my second vaccine shot last week, had no side effects. Copper Queen is to be commended for having such an organized efficient shot process. Two lines of cars (shot 1 and shot 2) move quickly to the shot-giver, were directed to a mandatory 15 minute parking area with a note on the windsheild about time of arrival/departure. A wait and then home.
I hope you all felt the valentine love in the air today.

BISBEE
The Bisbee Royale has been sold. I'm unclear who all owners are, but Michael Stefaun is a principal and Michael Page is involved. They plan to renovate the building and bring new music to Bisbee. More plans to be revealed. ............... Bathtub Coffee has finally circled the drain. ................ Cornucopia Cafe will have a new owner(s) the beginning of the month. ................. PETITION FOR DEFINING SEWER LINE OWNERSHIP A petition is being circulated that illuminates a problem with ownership of lateral sewer lines hooked into a main line. You may sign the petition at: Red Shoes Hair, The Parlor Salon and Vape Shop or Poco. (A written petition must be presented to the council and they must hear any petition and take action on it within three regular council meetings.) Problem...The current administration has reclassified lateral sewer lines that service two or more building connections as private sewer connections. Up until then, these lateral lines were included in the city's ownership and responsibility. This reclassification has caused many problems within the city’s collection system, mainly in Old Bisbee where there are numerous types of these laterals. Solution...Solution:Change city code to add a definition to specifically include city ownership of any line that services two or more building/house connections as defined in 13.1 “Definitions”. ............... Getsum burgers has a nice new set up above the Busy Bee parking lot. Making something from nothing the Bisbee way. Haven't tried it yet but will give you a report soon. ............... CIG Art Machine which is capital A-art, in a former cigarette dispensing machine. Put in the dough and get instant art for a giftie, wall, or your own whimsy. In the convention center. The Bisbee Arts Commission splits the spoils with the capital A- arteest. ............... The colorful Bingo Bingaman has an evocative new song/vid out. Hear it/see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eKdpZc4di0&fbclid=IwAR3AoOyj-6xTk_fwhLlNaD9MUvXo4JG7T_8YcECPIn1oHoblFYzVEXswOeU ...............

Of interest: Get your coffee, tea, and sleeping bags a 17 item agenda.
# 3, 4, 5,6 Old Business is stuff that has come to the council previously and is up for a second reading. Am unsure about #5 why it is slated for an ordinance. I suspect it is trying to deal with properties that could be developed but now can't for reasons outlined in the background.
#8 a mid-year assessment of revenue and spending by the treasurer
#9/10 a notice of and approval of a raise in the bed tax, approved by voters. The increase from 2.5% to 5% will be effective March 1.
#11 Another confusing request from the Grand Hotel to extend their premises. As best I can figure they want to add an additional floor thereby expanding their liquor license-so the entire hotel becomes a bar? I guess.
They also have applied to temporarily extend their premises 60' to take parking spots in front of the hotel for serving, much like the Bisbee social club has done. This is a different application and it is unclear whether it has been approved or not.
#12 A homeowner at 502 Powell constructed a car port without a building permit.(and has a few other structures not permitted) The building inspector issued a violation said that it was not in compliance to city building codes which includes fire prevention measures and to cease construction. Several back and forths about the cessation order. This is an appeal to go to the board of adjustment. The appeal will be heard by the council and a decision rendered.
#14 Hearing for a new weekly occurring event fee schedule. This is the result of the farmers market situation and is the city trying to come up with a solution to other than periodic events. Mayor Budge, working with the CM, gets some credit for coming up with this solution.
#15 adopting amendments to the sanitation rates and fee schedule mostly affecting low income households
#16 Closed door Executive session to consider:
a claim from Annie Robbins
a claim from Mary Alice and Ken Budge
instructing the council on negotiations for purchase, sale, or lease of real property
#17 Possible results of that closed door session

BISBEE ECONOMY
A budget is simply a guess about the future based on what has happened in the past. Often it hews close to historical norms, but sometimes either income-most often, or unexpected spending, upends projections. That certainly is what is happening to most city, county, state budgets this fiscal year.
For Bisbee,it is a bit past the halfway point in the fiscal year and treasurer Keri Bagley has summed up where we are for actual revenue and spending vs what was budgetedto come in and go out. A point to keep in mind is that this FY21 budget was drawn up in April/May/20. The extent and duration of the trump virus was unforeseen and unknown.
It is not so good, but not in the terrible zone...yet. According to these figures:
Overall spending has outpaced revenue with a projected shortfall of $637,000 at years end.
Revenue from services were overbudgeted and have underperformed. However at least half that figure ($364k) is decreased ambulance fees because of a combo of things...the prior administration cut a deal with Arizona ambulance for them to take more runs, as well as shortage of BFD personnel, aging machines, lower call volume, outstanding unpaid claims-. None of this was budgeted for consequently ambulance fees were grossly overestimated. Fire department inspection fees were waived so the income budgeted is logged as a deficit, $20k. Ambulance subscriptions, a new item, was projected at $90k, but nothing has come in from those subs.
Another chunk, $131k is a projected deficit from sales taxes. Earned interest was down about $32k. And franchise fees are down.
Most departments are on budget for the 6 month period. Some unexpected expenses in treasury have show up however with a treasury audit costing $7k more than budget. Legal services are running a bit higher. Although the police budget is a bit below overall spending, fuel cost have almost exceeded the budget with half the year left ($$18,873 of $20,000). That is attributed to officers living out of town taking their cars home (with permission so they can respond quicker to calls).
The treasurer gave a very rough estimate of expenses and revenue at year end based on monthly averages. She estimated an overall deficit of about -$50k at years end. She will update that as the year progresses.
HOUSE SALES
The one bright spot in the state and local economies is housing. With interest rates below 4%, it’s a seller’s market due to shortages of new and already built homes.
The Phoenix region, now almost million people, has seen a 12% increase in 2020 over the past year with nearly that projected this year with a shortage of available houses. Tucson region, a bit above one million peeps, saw an almost 12% increase. Prices in both areas were about 10-15% above 2019. And new build permits are up substantially. By one estimate sales in Sierra Vista sales were up 13% (could not substantiate this with other data however)
Unless the job market comes roaring back-not likely until 2022, Arizona will be abright spot for speculators and flippers as the number of evictions will increase dramatically once the trump virus restrictions are lifted, federal aid dwindles, and mortgages have to be paid. That’ll put more houses on the market! And more people on the streets…
The Bisbee real estate market is dissimilar to the national and state housing market. For the year 2020 147 houses sold for $22,661.7310,111*. However, in 2019 168 houses sold for 23,578,842**
But comparing Bisbee sales over the last six months of 2020 $15,069,353 with the last six months of 2019 $10,171,416, it is a 33% increase.
The housing market has included two years in succession of monthly double digit sales. Prices are rising, but there are still relatively cheap houses being sold in all parts of town. OB continues to draw higher prices than other districts.
*This includes two properties sold outside of Bisbee for a total $1,000,740 and some $84k of land-only sales
**This includes 11 land-only sales of $239,500
RETAIL SALES
(As always with sales tax data, statistics are for two months prior, in this case, October)
The chart below reflects the difference between the first half of FY 2020 and 1st half of FY2021.
December/20 stats continue to reflect the impact of trump virus with typical ‘tourist’ categories, (hotel/restaurant bar/bed tax) down from the prior month although grocery was up about $3k and retail up about $7k. Internet sales were stable.
For the calendar year:
(Internet tax did not begin until 11/19 so no comparison figures.)
Bed tax down -40% (-$58,327)
2020/$88,319 vs 2019/$146,647
Hotel down -19.3% (-$29,227)
2020/$122,790 vs 2019/$152,017
Rest./Bar -37%
2020/$271,927 vs 2019 $431,416
Retail +20.5%
2020/$1,119,909 vs 2019/$$928,868
Grocery +11.4%
2020/$490,145 vs 2019/$439,072
SOCIAL MEDIA
Facebook and Instagram had slight upticks in likes and followers as well as engagement in December. Instragram had a drastic rise in impressions (The number of times content, whether a post or a story, was shown to users-not necessarily seen. Reach is the number of unique users that saw the Instagram post or story on any given day.)
Discoverbisbee.com had a drop in users but a rise in sessions (A session is a group of user interactions with the website that take place within a given time frame.) Average sessions times on the site dropped a few seconds to 2 minutes 11 seconds. Top referral sites are BzB.com, Qmine.com, and facebook. Newsletter subs jumped a few hundred and is now at 7180 with about a 10% open rate.

POLITICS
From an anonymous source talking about the legal impeachment strategy of trump..."Yet, Republicans still whine and moan and outright lie. I'm reminded that Abraham Lincoln, responding to a weak pro-slavery argument from Stephen Douglas in a debate, once said, "(That) is as thin as a homeopathic soup that was made by boiling the shadow of a pigeon that starved to death.""
The Basics of Budget Preparation in Arizona During COVID-19 When: Wednesday, February 24 Location: Zoom virtual Time 9:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. (this includes a break for lunch) Budgets are the annual financial plan that a city or town uses to deliver services to its citizens for each fiscal year. It sets the framework for the implementation of the services and is one of the most important processes a city or town undergoes each year. This session will cover how a budget is developed with revenue and expenditure projections, the impact COVID-19 has had on budgets and how it can be effectively communicated to elected officials, staff and citizens. Who: Pat Walker, Principal Owner, Pat Walker Consulting Cost: $40 Registration: To register for the Budget training, please click here. Link to Zoom webinar will be sent to all attendees two days before the event. For questions on any of these trainings, please call 602-258-5786 or email league@azleague.org. ............ FOLLOWING THE LEGISLATURE They're taking aim at voting access, women's rights, public schools, environmental protections, and more. The news is bad in nearly every category of bills. This isn't politics—it's life. The Legislature oversees how much money our schools will have, your access to health care, whether you can vote conveniently, whether broadband can expand to rural areas, and so much more. Although there are some ugly thoughts behind some bills, like one submitted that reclassifies an ectopic pregnancy as homicide! the majority at our state legislature will continue to remain laser-focused on voter suppression, stripping away public education, starving government services through tax breaks to the wealthy, and anything they can find to do that will help them hold onto any power they can. Bills on these topics are the ones that will move — and that makes them the ones to watch. This newsletter will keep you informed of the most important bills to oppose or support. You can also sign up for Right to Speak to voice your opinion on any bill under consideration.
