$4.4 Million Treasury Fund Discrepancy Takes Center Stage at Board of Commissioners Meeting

A sharp $4.4 million discrepancy in APR funds dominated discussions at the January 9th Board of Commissioners Business Meeting, fueling community concerns about fiscal transparency and management. The issue, uncovered through recent reviews and highlighted in the "APR Discussion" document, brought to light critical gaps in fund allocation and tracking, prompting a lively debate among commissioners and financial oversight officials.

Finance Director

Keina Wolf Demands

Accountability

Keina Wolf, Curry County’s Finance Director, opened the public commentary by stressing the broader implications of the missing funds. “This isn’t just about dollars and cents,” she said passionately. “This is about trust. The people of this county have every right to know where their money is going and why it isn’t where it’s supposed to be.”

Wolf’s remarks reﬂected a growing frustration among residents, many of whom have voiced concerns over what they see as systemic mismanagement of public resources. Her call for transparency resonated deeply, setting the tone for a meeting marked by urgent demands for clarity and accountability.

County Treasurer

Nicholas Vicino Details the Discrepancy

Curry County Treasurer Nicholas Vicino provided a detailed breakdown of the discrepancy.

$4.4 million was paid to Curry County through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARP) which provided $350 billion in federal funding to support state, local, and tribal governments in their response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as the county discovered through email and telephone messages from the federal treasury, only $1.7 million was accounted for.

The report revealed signiﬁcant inconsistencies in the reported ﬁgures for the APR fund, with projected expenditures and actual allocations failing to align. Vicino’s analysis suggested that a lack of communication between key departments may have played a role in the shortfall.

Vicino highlighted how the discrepancies likely originated during the initial stages of fund distribution. “The problem may be rooted in outdated accounting systems and an over-reliance on manual reconciliations,” he explained. However, he stopped short of identifying a deﬁnitive cause, instead recommending a more comprehensive investigation to pinpoint the source of the issue.

Commissioner Jay Trost Raises Concern

Over Potential Consequences Adding to the gravity of the discussion, Commissioner Jay Trost warned of the potential repercussions if the issue remains unresolved. “This isn’t just a bookkeeping error,” Trost asserted. “The fallout from this has led to real-world consequences, including job losses and salary reductions for our county

employees.”

Trost emphasized the importance of proactive measures to address the ﬁnancial gap, noting that failing to resolve the discrepancy could undermine critical public services. “The last thing we want is for our employees to bear the brunt of these mistakes. We need to act swiftly to ensure that doesn’t happen.”

Commissioner Patrick Hollinger Calls for a Forensic Audit

Commissioner Patrick Hollinger echoed the urgency of Trost’s remarks but went a step further, calling for a forensic audit to get to the bottom of the matter. “This isn’t just about ﬁnding the money,” Hollinger said. “It’s about understanding how this happened and ensuring it never happens again. A forensic audit is the only way to achieve that.”

Details from the "APR Discussion" Documents

The "APR Discussion" document, which served as the foundation for much of the evening’s debate, painted a troubling picture of the county’s ﬁnancial practices.

The report outlined a timeline of fund allocation, revealing several red ﬂags, including:

1. **Inconsistent Reporting**: Different departments reported conflicting figures for the same fiscal periods, making it difficult to track where funds were allocated and how they were spent.

2. **Delayed Reconcilia-

tions**: Key ﬁnancial reconciliations were delayed by months, increasing the likelihood of errors and reducing the county’s ability to identify discrepancies in real time.

3. **Unclear Expenditure

Categories**: Several expenditures were listed under vague categories, with no supporting documentation to explain their purpose or necessity.

The report concluded with a set of preliminary recommendations, including enhanced training for ﬁnancial staff, upgraded accounting software, and more stringent oversight protocols.

Community Reactions and Public Concerns

The meeting drew a substantial crowd, with many attendees expressing frustration over what they described as a lack of accountability from county ofﬁcials. “Every dollar matters,” said one resident during the public comment period. “This is taxpayers’ money, and we deserve answers.”

Several community members also called for immediate action to ensure the integrity of future financial reports. Proposals ranged from increased public access to financial documents to the establishment of a citizen oversight committee to monitor the county’s financial activities.

Next Steps

In the meeting’s closing moments, the Board of Commissioners pledged to take swift action to address the discrepancy. Commissioners agreed to prioritize a review of the county’s ﬁnancial systems and practices,

with an emphasis on implementing the recommendations outlined in the "APR Discussion" document.

The Board also committed to providing a detailed update at the next business meeting, where they plan to present the ﬁndings of any ongoing investigations and outline steps for resolving the discrepancy. Commissioner Hollinger’s proposal for a forensic audit remains under consideration, with a decision expected in the coming weeks.

Looking Ahead

As the investigation continues, the $4.4 million gap in APR funds serves as a stark reminder of the importance of ﬁnancial oversight and accountability. For many residents, the incident underscores the need for systemic changes to ensure that public resources are managed responsibly and transparently.

The next Board of Commissioners meeting promises to be a pivotal moment in this ongoing saga, as ofﬁcials work to restore public trust and chart a path forward.

Fatal Traffic Accident on 199

by ROGER GITLIN Country Media. Inc.

Craig was driving south at about 9:30, Sunday morning, January 19, when, according to the CHP, he lost control of his 2005 Ford F350, just north of South Fork Rd. The vehicle left the pavement down a steep, descending embankment and collided with a large tree. Johnson succumbed to his injuries en route to Sutter Coast Hospital. The CHP continues to investigate this accident.

Craig was indeed, a very special man. Craig entered the Marine Corps, with a “…once Marine, always a Marine,” mindset. He studied Geology at the Ohio State University.

Craig began a long and storied career with the National Parks Services. He served as a park ranger at Yellowstone, Channel Islands (2X), the Grand Canyon, the Gates of the Artic National Park and Chief Ranger of the Redwood National and State Parks, among many other assignments. Craig also took a hiatus from Parks and was a private tour guide.

His family said he brought light to wherever he went.

Craig had many passions: Golf; Reading and poetry; and Bob Seeger, whom he often travelled for hundreds of miles to attend his concerts. His family mourns his untimely death but is blessed with rich memories of a life welllived.

Tribes, 34 Organizations, receive

$23 Million to support home repairs

Press release

Oregon Health Authority (OHA) Healthy Homes Grant Program seeks improved housing conditions, health outcomes for low-income residents to prevent displacement

OHA has awarded $23 million to repair and rehabilitate homes of low-income residents to eliminate risks to residents’ health to the Nine Federally Recognized Tribes of Oregon and 34 local organizations. The funds are from the Healthy Homes Grant Program (HHGP), established to improve health by rehabilitating living environments in Oregon.

“Research has shown there is an inextricable link between a person’s health and housing status, and that quality of housing is a social determinant of health,” said Oregon Public Health Division Director Naomi Adeline-Biggs, MBBS, MPH. “With the Healthy Homes grants, Oregon is helping to prevent and reduce short- and long-term negative health outcomes by addressing the quality of housing as a public health issue.”

People living in poverty are more likely to live in substandard housing that is not healthy or safe and are at higher risk of losing homes that are not well-maintained or repaired. Older and substandard housing is more likely to contain hazards such as peeling or deteriorated lead-based paint. Delaying maintenance can lead to leaking roofs or pipes, which can cause mold. Uninsulated homes can be drafty and uncomfortable for residents and result in higher energy bills.

Homes that are not well-maintained or repaired can also lead to lead poisoning, asthma and other respiratory diseases, cancer, unintended injures, increased stress,

poor school attendance for children and missed workdays for parents. Improved housing conditions for low-income families can prevent illness and reduce their health care costs, improve safety, conserve natural resources and reduce energy costs for occupants.

The organization’s nonprofits, local housing authorities, community action agencies and local governments serving communities in all areas of the state are each receiving between $199,980 to $750,000 to use over a three-year period. The grants are intended to help homeowners and landlords repair and rehabilitate homes inhabited by low-income residents, including renters, to improve their environmental health and safety.

The Oregon Legislature established the HHGP in 2021. It directs OHA to provide grants to local organizations serving low-income residents to repair and rehabilitate homes, including rental properties, throughout the state.

Funding recipients

OHA is awarding nearly $20.4 million in HHGP funds to 34 organizations through a competitive grant process and were selected from a pool of 75 applicants. The grantees with the strongest proposals for meeting the priorities set in state law include organizations experienced in improving the health or safety of occupants of residences, maximizing energy efficiency or extending the usable life of homes which serves eligible households in Oregon; and organizations serving historically unrepresented and underserved communities, including people of color, those who are low income, and American Indian and Alaska Native communities.

In addition, OHA has set aside $3 million in

HHGP funds for the Nine Federally Recognized Tribes of Oregon, honoring government-to-government relationships. OHA is working with each Tribe to award this funding.

Project examples

Examples of funded projects include home assessments to identify

priority structural, health and safety repair needs; energy efficiency updates to protect against extreme temperatures; roof replacements; making homes less susceptible to wildfire damage; and abatement of radon, mold, mildew, and lead-based paint.

The projects will use

HHGP funds to fill gaps and leverage other state and federal funding, such as Community Development Block Grants, Weatherization Assistance Program funding and the Portland Clean Energy Community Benefits Fund.

Grant funding schedule

OHA sent letters of

intent to successful grant applicants in August and has been working with individual organizations to finalize grant agreements. The agency hopes to finish executing the grant agreements by the end of January. Grant recipients will have up to three years to complete their projects.

Oregon joins $80 million enforcement action against Block Inc., CashApp for bank secrecy Act Violations

The Oregon Division of Financial Regulation (DFR) and 47 state ﬁnancial regulatory agencies have taken coordinated action against Block Inc., for violations of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and anti-money laundering (AML) laws that safeguard the ﬁnancial system from illicit use.

More than 50 million consumers in the U.S. use CashApp, Blocks mobile payment service, to spend, send, store, and invest money.

In the multistate settlement signed this week, Block agreed to pay an $80 million penalty to the state agencies, hire an independent consultant to review the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of its BSA/ AML program, and submit a report to the states within nine months. Block then will have 12 months to correct any deﬁciencies found in the review after the report is ﬁled.

“Oregon continues to work alongside other states to protect consumers and hold companies accountable,” said TK Keen, DFR administrator. “This

settlement reinforces our commitment to safeguarding the ﬁnancial system and ensuring compliance with laws designed to prevent illicit activity.”

The settlement was the result of a multistate examination to determine Block’s compliance with applicable state and federal laws and regulations. Block worked cooperatively with the state regulators throughout the examination.

Under BSA/AML rules, financial services firms are required to perform due diligence on customers, including verifying customer identities, reporting suspicious activity, and applying appropriate controls for high-risk accounts. State regulators found Block was not in compliance with certain requirements, creating the potential that its services could be used to support money laundering, terrorism financing, or other illegal activities.

Through a strong, nationwide regulatory framework, state ﬁnancial regulators license and serve as the primary supervisor of money transmitters. States license more than 700 money transmit-

ters. To protect consumers and enforce safety and soundness requirements, state regulators regularly coordinate supervision of multistate ﬁrms and, when necessary, initiate enforcement actions. This coordination networked supervision supports consistency and collaboration, while preserving the authority of individual states to take direct action.

State financial regulators license and supervise more than 34,000 nonbank financial services companies through the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System, including mortgage companies, money services businesses, consumer finance providers, and debt collectors. Oregon residents who have questions about the enforcement action should contact DFR’s consumer advocates at 888-877-4894 or email dfr.financialserviceshelp@ dcbs.oregon.gov. Residents can also visit NMLS Consumer Access to verify that a company is licensed to do business in Oregon.
