�� Mona Miyasato, Santa Barbara County’s �� new CEO, took over the job in December �� Mission and State: What interested you in �� journalism and public policy? �� Mona Miyasato: You want to provide information �� that will improve the community, whether it’s inﬂuencing other’s opinions or decision makers, �� or having people understand an issue so they �� can take action. I think that’s why I liked it. When I �� went to public-policy school, I realized I could also �� be doing that by working directly in public policy and government and have broader inﬂuence by �� doing the latter.

What’s the current state of the county’s general fund? Miyasato: For 10 years, there was a consistent 6 to 7 percent general-fund growth and it has been flat since the recession. That’s why everyone had to make reductions, because revenues weren’t growing as fast as our expenses were growing. That was the cause for all the cutbacks throughout government. How do you make sure there’s an equitable distribution of resources between North County and South County? Miyasato: My perspective is that it’s still one county. The north and south have been fighting for a long time but they’ve probably been in marriage counseling just as long. The division is highlighted every so often, but there are strengths each bring to each other. There are different philosophies, as you can tell, in the board sometimes, but those differences make us a stronger county; the diversity of opinion is important. What’s causing that conflict? Miyasato: I don’t know. It has been a longstanding issue. I had a professor who said, “Where you stand depends on where you sit.” What you see depends on your own life experiences. People have different perspectives of the north and south based on the economics, higher unemployment up there, different land uses and different types of businesses. How do we mitigate the drought? Miyasato: We have the drought task force, which includes water-department heads and water purveyors discussing long-term plans. Right now we’re encouraging a 20 percent reduction. I know that there’s been discussion of new legislation regarding drought measures, so we’ll wait and see. For now, we’re not advocating for anything more except voluntary cutbacks and planning for the future. Is that enough? Miyasato: For now, we’ll see. But again, everyone will be in the same boat. We’ll be after the same scarce resource. The State Water Project seemingly won’t be able to fulfill obligations and people are gearing up for what that might mean. We have a couple of years in reserves, which isn’t a lot of time, but I think the state has been able to pull through before. So we’ll have to go back to some of those measures if there’s no rainfall. How did you react to Goleta’s criticism of the revenue neutrality agreement? Miyasato: Goleta doesn’t think its fair. The county’s position is when they became a city that’s what [the Local Agency Formation Commission] said, which has to approve the incorporation of new cities. They said in order for this to work, this is the revenue split that has to occur, and we’ve done that. We’ve been telling people it pays for the safety net, it pays for criminal justice, it pays for services that benefit everyone in the county. I know they don’t think it’s fair to them and they question whether they use those services, but those are for the benefit of everybody. How will we pay the estimated annual $17.3 million to fund the North County Jail? Miyasato: We’re not saying that we need $17 million tomorrow. We have a gradual plan to cut out projected revenue increases. What I keep telling people is we’re going to build a slow ladder up to $17 million over a period of time. To get there we have to make trade-offs, but I think it’s something we have to fund. Could that money be used on intervention and prevention? Miyasato: If we had endless resources, we could do both but we’re required to provide a jail

facility that’s well run and managed, and that’s what we’re trying to do. We would love to have more prevention and it makes sense. But we have limited resources and that’s how we’re going to have to spend the funds. But I think with the [Sheriff’s Transition and Reentry] facility and all of the good work that we’re doing with probation, I think we can do both. The state system is aligning toward alternative sentencing, which is a good mentality. What are the trade-offs? Miyasato: The discretionary general fund is spent on everything from recreational services to infrastructure and capital projects to administrative services. So those are the choices they are making. Around 60 percent of the general fund discretionary revenue is spent on public safety. What do you think of that allocation? Miyasato: It’s a priority of the board to spend money on public safety. It reflects their values and also the high costs of positions in public safety. It’s no secret that costs are higher for some sworn positions because of how we fund positions and pensions. Should we curb increasing pension costs? If so, how? Miyasato: Even though the state passed pension reforms in the Public Employees Pension Reform Act a couple years ago, Santa Barbara County did its own pension reform by passing a less generous formula before the state did. The state’s formula means anyone coming into public service is under a lower formula set by the state. Anyone who has a job in government goes into a legacy formula. Under Santa Barbara County’s lower legacy formula, it did reduce its pension cost, so it was a really smart move and not a lot of counties did that. The county closed retiree benefits to any new employees, so I don’t get retiree healthcare benefits. It has done a lot to reduce obligations, which is a smart thing, that’s why the county has been considered to be well managed—still rated well by bond agencies. Is it prudent to spend money on a new jail? Miyasato: We tried to pass tax measures on other efforts to figure out how to pay for one. The fact is, they were able to get grant money from the state and the county figured out a financial plan where they carve out funding every year. Finding a financing plan to operate the jail is a pretty challenging but a courageous thing to do. It’s not like we were building something that’s more discretionary like a performing arts center. If you’d been to the current jail, people realize it’s something the county had to do. It’s carving out money we could’ve spent on something else but something we felt we had to do. What are the biggest issues the county faces? Miyasato: How do we come out of the recession in a way that doesn’t put us in a position that we were in 10 years ago when there was another drop in revenue because of the business cycle? We’re going through a transition now and it’s not about restoring what we had but looking to the future in what kind of organization we want to be. So internally, it means looking at our own staff. We are blessed to be near UCSB and to have a lot of young people joining the workforce while a lot of retirees are coming in. How do you get people ready for that and connect more with the community? County government is usually this faceless, big bureaucracy. How do we humanize government? It’s an interesting time in county government. It’s time to look at different opportunities and look at things differently. I think I can bring that to the county—think of better ways of doing things. Not going back to what we were doing before but to look at anticipating changes for the future. We need to move the county in a position to be more adaptable.

�� Mona Miyasato, Nueva �� directora general del �� condado de Santa �� Bárbara, asumió el �� cargo en Diciembre �� Mission and State: ¿Qué fue lo que te intereso del �� periodismo y la política pública? �� Mona Miyasato: Quieres proporcionar información que mejorará la comunidad, si se trata de inﬂuir a �� los demás de las opiniones o a quienes toman las �� decisiones, o ayudar a las personas a entender un �� tema para que puedan tomar medidas. Yo creo que �� por eso me gustó. Cuando fui a la escuela de políticas públicas, me di cuenta de que también podría estar �� haciendo eso trabajando directamente en las políticas �� públicas y con el gobierno y tener una inﬂuencia más �� amplia haciendo este último. �� ¿Cuál es el estado actual de los fondos generales del �� condado? �� Miyasato: Desde hace 10 años, hubo un constante �� crecimiento de 6 a 7 por ciento del fondo general y se ha mantenido plano desde la recesión. Es por eso �� que todos tuvieron que hacer reducciones, porque

��

los ingresos no estaban creciendo tan rápido como nuestros gastos estaban creciendo. Esa fue la causa de todos los recortes de todo el gobierno.

las dos cosas. El sistema estatal se está alineando hacia las penas alternativas, lo cual es una buena mentalidad.

¿Cómo aseguras de que hay una distribución equitativa de los recursos entre el Condado Norte y Sur del Condado? Miyasato: Mi perspectiva es de que todavía es un solo condado. El norte y el sur han estado luchando durante mucho tiempo, pero probablemente han estado en terapia de pareja al mismo tiempo. La división se destaca de vez en cuando, pero hay fortalezas que cada uno atrae? al otro. Existen diferentes ﬁlosofías, como se puede ver, en la mesa directiva a veces, pero esas diferencias nos hacen un condado más fuerte, la diversidad de opiniones es importante.

¿Cuáles son las ventajas y desventajas? Miyasato: El fondo general es discrecional y se gasta en todo, desde los servicios recreativos a la infraestructura y proyectos de capital para servicios administrativos. Así que esas son las decisiones que están haciendo.

¿Qué está causando ese conflicto? Miyasato: No sé. Ha sido un problema de muchos años. Tuve un profesor que dijo, “Donde usted está parado depende de donde usted se sienta.” Lo que ves depende de tus propias experiencias de vida. Las personas tienen diferentes perspectivas sobre el Norte y el Sur basado en la economía, el aumento del desempleo allá arriba, los diferentes usos de la tierra y los diferentes tipos de negocios. ¿Cómo mitigar la sequía? Miyasato: Tenemos el equipo de trabajo para la sequía, que incluye cabezas del departamento de agua y proveedores de agua discutiendo los planes a largo plazo. En este momento estamos fomentando una reducción del 20 por ciento. Sé que ha habido discusión sobre la nueva legislación relativa a las medidas de sequía, así que a esperar y ver. Por ahora, no estamos abogando por nada más excepto recortes voluntarios y la planificación para el futuro. ¿Es eso suficiente? Miyasato: Por ahora, vamos a ver. Pero, de nuevo, todos van a estar en el mismo barco. Estaremos tras el mismo recurso escaso. El Proyecto de Agua del Estado aparentemente no será capaz de cumplir con las obligaciones y la gente se están preparando para lo que esto signifique. Tenemos un par de años en las reservas, que no es mucho tiempo, pero creo que el Estado ha sido capaz de salir adelante antes. Así que tendremos que volver a algunas de esas medidas si no hay lluvia. ¿Cómo reaccionaste a la crítica de Goleta del acuerdo de neutralidad de los ingresos? Miyasato: Goleta no cree que es justo. La posición del condado es cuando se convirtieron en una ciudad que es lo que [la Comisión de Formación de la Agencia Local] dijo, que tiene que aprobar la incorporación de nuevas ciudades. Dijeron que para que esto funcione, este es el reparto de los ingresos que tiene que ocurrir, y hemos hecho eso. Le hemos estado diciendo a la gente que paga para la red de seguridad, que paga por la justicia penal, que paga por los servicios que benefician a todos en el condado. Sé que ellos no piensan que es justo para ellos y cuestionan que si utilizan esos servicios, pero esos son para el beneficio de todos. ¿Cómo vamos a pagar el estimado costo anual de 17.3 millones de dólares para financiar la Cárcel del Condado del Norte? Miyasato: No estamos diciendo que necesitamos $17 millones mañana. Tenemos un plan gradual para cortar aumentos de los ingresos proyectados. Lo que le sigo diciendo a la gente es que vamos a construir una escalera lenta sobre un período de tiempo hasta llegar a los $17 millones. Para llegar allí hay que hacer compensaciones, pero creo que es algo que tenemos que financiar. ¿Ese dinero podría ser utilizado en la intervención y la prevención? Miyasato: Si tuviéramos recursos ilimitados, podríamos hacer las dos cosas, pero estamos obligados a proporcionar una cárcel que está bien dirigida y administrada, y eso es lo que estamos tratando de hacer. Nos encantaría tener más prevención y tiene sentido. Pero tenemos recursos limitados y así es como vamos a tener que gastar los fondos. Pero creo que con [Transición y Reingreso del Sheriff] la instalación y todo el buen trabajo que estamos haciendo con la libertad condicional, yo creo que podemos hacer

Alrededor del 60 por ciento del fondo general de ingresos discrecionales se gasta en seguridad pública. ¿Qué piensas de esa asignación? Miyasato: Es una prioridad de la mesa directiva de gastar dinero en la seguridad pública. Refleja sus valores y también los costos altos de las posiciones sobre la seguridad pública. No es ningún secreto que los costos son más altos para algunas posiciones juradas por la forma en que financiamos las posiciones y las pensiones. ¿Hay que frenar el aumento de los costos de pensiones? Si es así, ¿cómo? Miyasato: A pesar de que el estado aprobó reformas de las pensiones con la Ley de Reforma de Pensiones de los Empleados Públicos hace un par de años, el condado de Santa Bárbara hizo su propia reforma de pensiones mediante el paso de una fórmula menos generosa antes que lo hizo el Estado. La fórmula del Estado significa que cualquier persona que entra en el servicio público se encuentra bajo una fórmula baja establecida por el estado. Cualquier persona que tiene un trabajo con el gobierno entra en una fórmula legada. Bajo la fórmula legada baja del condado de Santa Bárbara, si redujo su costo de pensiones, por lo que fue un movimiento muy inteligente y que no muchas de los condados hicieron eso. El condado cerró beneficios de los jubilados a los nuevos empleados, por lo que no reciben beneficios de salud para jubilados. Ha hecho mucho para reducir las obligaciones, que es una cosa inteligente, es por eso que el condado es considerado ser bien administrado—todavía clasificado así por las agencias de bonos. ¿Es prudente gastar dinero en una nueva cárcel? Miyasato: Tratamos de pasar medidas fiscales en otros esfuerzos para encontrar la manera de pagar por una. El hecho es, que fueron capaces de obtener dinero de la subvención por parte del Estado y el condado descubrió un plan financiero en el que se forjan los fondos cada año. Encontrar un plan de financiamiento para operar en la cárcel es bastante difícil, pero una cosa valiente que hacer. No es como si estuviéramos construyendo algo que es más discrecional como un centro de artes interpretativas. Si hubieras estado en la cárcel actual, las personas se dan cuenta de que es algo que el condado tenía que hacer. Está forjando el dinero que podríamos haber gastado en otra cosa, pero algo que sentimos que teníamos que hacer. ¿Cuáles son los mayores problemas que enfrenta el condado? Miyasato: ¿Cómo salimos de la recesión de una manera que no nos pone en una posición igual a la que estábamos hace 10 años cuando se produjo otra caída en los ingresos debido al ciclo económico? Estamos pasando por una transición ahora y no se trata de la restauración de lo que teníamos, pero mirando hacia el futuro para ver en qué tipo de organización queremos ser. Así que internamente, significa mirar a nuestro propio personal. Tenemos la bendición de estar cerca de UCSB y tener una gran cantidad de jóvenes que se unen a la fuerza laboral, mientras que una gran cantidad de jubilados están llegando. ¿Cómo lograr que la gente se prepare para eso y se conecte más con la comunidad ? El gobierno del condado es por lo general una gran burocracia, sin rostro. ¿Cómo humanizar el gobierno? Es un momento interesante en el gobierno del condado. Es hora de ver oportunidades diferentes y ver las cosas de manera diferente. Creo que puedo traer eso al condado—pensar en mejores formas de hacer las cosas. No vamos a volver a lo que hacíamos antes, pero anticipar los cambios para el futuro. Tenemos que llevar al condado a una posición donde sea más adaptable. Translated by Jeanette Casillas / CASA
