Council launches new budget website

The Tacoma Weekly

The Pierce County Council is excited to announce the launch of a new website dedicated to the 2024-2025 Biennial Budget. This platform is designed to enhance fiscal transparency and accessibility, providing residents with comprehensive insights into the county’s biennial budget and priorities.

One of the primary duties of the Pierce County Council is to levy taxes, appropriate revenue, and adopt budgets for the county. The budget is the single most important document the Pierce County Council uses to oversee the delivery of services, programs, and resources to Pierce County residents. The site breaks the biennial

countless games. Her involvement extended to becoming a certified volleyball official and supporting cheerleading activities.

Community Leadership: Her dedication to Eatonville is evident in her service on various school district committees, including bond and levy campaigns, facility design, and curriculum approval. She also represented the district at the state level. Her community involvement extended to the Daffodil Festival and chaperoning school trips.

School Board Service: Gilliardi’s commitment to education culminated in her service on the Eatonville School Board, where she held various leadership positions. Her tenure has been marked by her unwavering support for students, staff, and the community.

Kerr is a shining example of academic excellence, professional achievement, and community involvement. Her journey from a high-achieving high school student to a successful attorney is truly inspiring.

• Academic Excellence: Kerr graduated as valedictorian of her high school class with a 4.0 GPA. She continued her academic pursuits at the University of Puget Sound, where she double majored in communication studies and politics and government, graduating Summa Cum Laude. Her legal education at the University of Washington culminated in graduating first in her class with High Honors. She also began to work for the University of Washington and became an Affiliate Instructor in 2024.

• Professional Success: Kerr’s

In addition, it includes links to Council resolutions that allocate funding to programs, initiatives or activities that were provided funds in the 2024-2025 Biennial Budget. The Council’s budget priorities are public safety, housing affordability and homelessness services housing, behavioral health systems and substance use disorders, youth and young adults, economy and workforce, infrastructure needs, sustainability and livability, and community needs.

The site was designed with community members in mind, providing a tool to help people understand how their tax dollars

began as a law clerk for the Washington State Supreme Court and quickly progressed to become a principal attorney at a Seattle law firm. Her dedication to her profession is evident in her numerous awards and honors, including being named a "Rising Star" by Washington Super Lawyers.

• Community Involvement: Beyond her professional accomplishments, Kerr is deeply committed to giving back to her community. Her volunteer work spans various legal organizations, and she is actively involved in mentoring students.

The Award of Distinction was created at about the same as the Athletic Hall of Fame Award in 2010 under the guidance of biology teacher James Clague. The motivation for the award was to honor Eatonville High School graduates who had achieved significant success in areas such as business, academics, service, the arts, or philanthropy. It was to honor those individuals for their achievements but also to inspire current students in their quest for success.

The award went dormant after the retirement of Mr. Clague in 2016 but was revived through the efforts of Rich and Ruthie Williams and their committee of faculty and community members this year. The award winners were selected by a committee comprised of staff and community members from applications submitted this year. Applications not selected this year will remain under consideration in future years along with applications from the next year. Nomination forms are available on the district website and nominations are encouraged from the public.

are invested. The website will be regularly updated with the latest budget news, reports, and upcoming meeting schedules to keep you informed and engaged.

“Our community has needed something like this for a long time. This new budget website will give community members easy and regular access to important financial information about their County,” said Council Chair Ryan Mello (District 4). “By organizing the budget information by council priority area, we’re making it easier for residents to see what the Council is doing to address the issues that matter to the community.”

The council began developing the 2024-2025 Biennial Budget process on March 8, 2023, and continued

throughout the year, with the council establishing its preliminary 2024-2025 biennial budget priorities with the adoption of Resolution R2023-106. On Sept. 19, 2023, Pierce County Executive Bruce Dammeier presented his proposed 2024-2025 Biennial Budget to the council, as required by the County Charter. The council reviewed and amended the proposed budget, with the adoption of the county’s final 2024-2025 Biennial Budget on Tuesday, Nov. 21, 2023. Since this is a biennial budget, all budget appropriations are for a two-year period through Dec. 31, 2025.

WA senators set to face off in November to replace longtime insurance commissioner

By Carleen Johnson The Center Square

A pool of eight candidates to be Washington state's next insurance commissioner has been narrowed down to two following Tuesday’s primary election.

State Sens. Patty Kuderer and Phil Fortunato, a Democrat and Republican, respectively, are leading in the race, with Kuderer way out in front with about 45% of the vote to Fortunato's 28%, an impressive showing for having less than onesixth of his opponent's campaign contributions.

"I said spend every single penny we have because it's not going to do me any good to have money there if we lost the primary," Fortunato told The Center Square on Wednesday afternoon.

Republican Justin Murta got about 10% of the votes on Tuesday evening.

As part of their deliberation, the council held a special study session on Wednesday, Aug. 7, at the Low Income Housing Institute’s (LIHI) tiny home village at First Christian Church of Tacoma to learn more about the operation of temporary shelter communities and their residents. Following the session, councilmembers toured the

The remaining four – Bill Boyd, Jonathan Hendrix, Chris Chung and Tim Verzal – each received less than 4% of the vote.

Current Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler, who has held the office for the last 23 years, did not seek reelection.

Councilmembers also toured a homeless stability site in Tacoma’s Dome District and a shelter at Bethlehem Baptist Church on Tacoma’s Eastside. The stability site is low-barrier and only allows adult residents, while the LIHI and Bethlehem Baptist Church location have a higher barrier that includes a background check and allows families with children.

Savvy Senior: Paying for nursing home care with Medicaid

Dear Savvy Senior,

If my mother needs to move into a nursing home, what are the eligibility requirements to get Medicaid coverage?

Caretaking Son

Dear Caretaking,

The rules and requirements for Medicaid eligibility for nursing home care are complicated and will vary according to the state your mother lives in. With that said, here’s a general, simplified rundown of what it takes to qualify.

MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY

Medicaid, the joint federal and state program that covers health care for the poor, is also the largest single payer of America’s nursing home bills for seniors who don’t have the resources to pay for their own care. (Note that some states have different names for their Medicaid program.)

Most people who enter nursing homes don’t qualify for Medicaid at first but pay for care either through long-term care insurance or outof-pocket until they deplete their savings and become eligible for Medicaid.

To qualify for Medicaid, your mother’s income and assets will need to be under a certain level that’s determined by your state. Most states (except California) require that a single person have no more than about $2,000 in countable assets ($3,000 for a married couple) that includes cash, savings, investments or other financial resources that can be turned into cash.

Assets that aren’t counted for eligibility include your mother’s home if it’s valued under $713,000 (this limit is higher – up to $1,071,000 – in some states), her personal possessions and household

goods, one vehicle, prepaid funeral plans and a small amount of life insurance.

But be aware that while her home is not considered a countable asset to determine eligibility, if she can’t return home, Medicaid can go after the proceeds of her house to help reimburse her nursing home costs, unless a spouse or other dependent relative lives there. (There are some other exceptions to this rule.)

After qualifying, all sources of your mother’s income such as Social Security and pension checks must be turned over to Medicaid to pay for her care, except for a small personal needs allowance – usually between $30 and $160.

You also need to be aware that your mother can’t give away her assets to qualify for Medicaid faster. Medicaid officials will look at their financial records going back five years (except in California which has a 30-month look-back rule) to root out suspicious asset transfers. If they find one, her Medicaid coverage will be delayed a certain length of time, according to a formula that divides the transfer amount by the average monthly cost of nursing home care in their state. So, for example, if your mom lives in a state

Terry Van Eaton

Terry Van Eaton went home to Jesus on July 15, 2024, at age 86. Born in Tacoma to John and Elsie (Boettcher) Van Eaton in 1938, he grew up in and around Eatonville, the town named after his grandfather, T.C. Van Eaton. He attended elementary school in Alder and graduated from Eatonville High School in 1956. In 1961, Terry graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business from the University of Washington and a commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the US Army.

He married Sharon Nechanicky in 1961, and they honeymooned by driving his new Corvette to his first Army duty station: Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland. From there, he went to the Chambersburg (Pennsylvania) Army Depot until his discharge in 1963.

Upon his return to Eatonville, Terry joined his father’s business, Van Eaton Chevrolet, and dedicated himself to its success. His hard work and commitment eventually led him to take over and operate the company for 37 years until his retirement in 2000. Terry’s time in Pennsylvania sparked an interest in antiques, which he and Sharon turned into a successful venture: Founding Family Antiques in Eatonville. This year, the shop celebrated its 60th year of operations, a testament to Terry’s entrepreneurial spirit.

Terry’s unwavering compass of personal faith guided his full and active life. He served as an elder of Eatonville Baptist Church for 40 years, financially supported missionaries and Christian charities, and started Eatonville Young Life in 1972. For his contributions, Young Life honored him with the Lifetime Achievement Award.

His life was replete with examples of service to his hometown: He was an active member of the Eatonville Lions Club, serving as President in 1970 and launching the Eatonville Arts Festival. He served on the Ohop Mutual Light Company Board of Directors from 1977-1982. As president of the board, he navigated the utility through the WPPSS debacle. He regularly supported the local school through donations and paid advertising. Most notably, Terry started the Senior Surprise trip for graduating high school students in 1978. In 2013, he received the Eatonville High School Alumni Distinguished Service Award.

where the average monthly nursing home cost is $8,000 and she gave away cash or other assets worth $160,000, she would be ineligible for benefits for 20 months ($160,000 divided by $8,000 = 20).

SPOUSAL PROTECTION

Medicaid also has special rules (known as the community spouse resource allowance) for married couples when one spouse enters a nursing home, and the other spouse remains at home. In these cases, the healthy spouse can keep one half of the couple’s assets up to $154,140 (this amount varies by state), the family home, all the furniture and household goods and one automobile. The healthy spouse is also entitled to keep a portion of the couple’s monthly income –between $2,465 and $3,854. Any income above that goes toward the cost of the nursing home recipient’s care.

WHAT ABOUT MEDICARE?

Medicare, the federal health insurance program for seniors 65 and older, and some younger people with disabilities, does not pay for longterm care. It only helps pay up to 100 days of rehabilitative nursing home care, which must occur after a three-day hospital stay.

For more information, contact your state Medicaid office. You can also get help from your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (see ShipHelp.org), which provides free counseling on Medicare and Medicaid issues.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Terry’s business ethics were unsurpassed, and his reputation for honest dealing brought customers from all over the region - even Alaska and Hawaii - to purchase cars and trucks from Van Eaton Chevrolet. He loaned vehicles to missionaries on furlough and sold step vans to Christian organizations at a loss. These vans were then converted into medical units for use in developing countries. His love of the antique business complemented his life-long passion for the study of history. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of vintage toys and railroad artifacts, delighting his customers with anecdotes, demonstrations, and little-known facts.

Throughout his life, Terry’s love for music, especially singing, was a source of joy for him and those around him. He was a leader of the University of Washington Glee Club, actively participated in the Eatonville High School Music Boosters, and sang on the Eatonville Baptist Church worship team. His love for music was just one of the many facets of his vibrant personality. He was a world traveler, an avid skier, pilot, and mountain climber who summited Mount Rainier. He loved his garden, landscaping his home with beautiful trees, flowers, and shrubs.

Terry’s love and commitment to his family were unwavering. He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Sharon Van Eaton, and their children: Susan, Joy (Kirby Nelson), Justin (Laura Barnhart), and Amy (Dr. Paul Williams); grandchildren: Liliana (Nelson) Zaleski, Mia, Isabelle, and Scott Snyder, Ben,

Noah, Matthew, and Ashleigh Williams and two greatgrandchildren: Clara and John Zaleski. He leaves his three younger siblings, Patrick Van Eaton, Dr. Thomas Van Eaton, and Margaret Neyman. He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Joan Jordan.

A memorial service will be held at Eatonville Baptist Church on Saturday, August 17, at 2:00 p.m. Memorials may be made to Eatonville Baptist Church and designated to support missionaries Lee and Soua Isom, Jack Moore’s college outreach, or the vacation Bible school scholarship fund.

Community survey highlights needs

By Matt Nagle Tacoma Weekly

Pierce County Human Services (PCHS) and the Metropolitan Development Council (MDC) completed the 2023 Community Needs Assessment (CNA) identifying the strengths, barriers and available resources within the community. Find the CNA at tinyurl.com/4245ktzk.

More than 2,500 responses were received from the survey and focus groups, with 1,978 individuals indicating at least one need. Key findings from the survey include: approximately one out of every four respondents need behavioral health resources, food and groceries, and other health services; respondents across Pierce County identified behavioral health resources and financial assistance as their top needs; reported barriers to receiving services include lack of transportation, confusing application processes and income requirements being too low; and other identified needs include childcare accessibility, housing affordability and availability, and food insecurity.

These findings highlight the need for interventions and policies aimed at improving housing affordability, enhancing behavioral healthcare accessibility and supporting financial assistance for food, rent, utilities and more.

Improving access to the local behavioral health system and supporting preventive and

responsive behavioral health services is a council priority. This priority is supported through the implementation of the Behavioral Health Improvement Plan and ongoing investments in the Behavioral Health and Therapeutic Courts Fund. In support of these priorities, the 2024-2025 Biennial Budget includes more than $55 million of investment in behavioral health systems and

substance use disorder-related programs.

The council also appropriated more than $1 million for food assistance in Pierce County through its community needs allocations and $1.3 million for rent and utility assistance for individuals in Pierce County at risk of eviction through the 2024-2025 Biennial Budget. In addition, the county council passed the Maureen Howard Affordable

Housing Act in 2023, creating a funding stream to invest in affordable housing. Collaboration will continue between PCHS, MDC and other community organizations to enhance access to services and address the needs identified in the CNA comprehensively.

Eatonville's traffic lights not at risk of IT glitch impact

By Merrick Parnell

As the world grapples with the fallout from a recent global IT glitch that disrupted flights and business operations, people are concerned about similar issues affecting other critical infrastructure, such as traffic lights. With many still feeling the ripple effects of the July 19 incident, local residents in Eatonville may wonder if their traffic systems are at risk.

On July 19, a global information technology (IT) glitch caused significant delays in flights and business operations. The issue arose from a conflict between antivirus software and Microsoft's systems, leading to widespread disruptions, primarily affecting the commercial airline industry.

In the aftermath of the large travel glitch, some concerns emerged

about whether similar glitches could impact public safety infrastructure, such as traffic lights.

Transportation officials have confirmed that Eatonville's traffic lights are not susceptible to these types of issues. Eatonville has one traffic light located at Washington Avenue and State Route 161 (SR 161). According to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), these traffic signals are protected from potential hacking or glitches.

"The traffic lights in Eatonville are hardwired and are not accessible from the internet," said Cara Mitchell, WSDOT communications manager for the Olympic Region.

Unlike the systems affected by the IT glitch, Eatonville's stoplights do not utilize artificial intelligence. Mitchell noted that the WSDOT does not use AI in their signal cabinets or controllers, whether statewide or in

Eatonville.

The local stoplights are programmed by the WSDOT's operations team.

“The signal operations team creates the traffic signal program in our regional signal shop,” Mitchell explained. “We use the construction plans as the starting point to build the program.”

Thanks to the WSDOT's preventive measures, Eatonville residents need not worry about glitches affecting their traffic lights. However, if a signal malfunctions during a power outage or other events, drivers should treat the intersection as a four-way stop and, if necessary, contact the WSDOT Traffic Management Center at 206-440-4490 for signals on state highways.

While global IT disruptions can create significant challenges, Eatonville's traffic light system is safeguarded against issues like

hacking or glitches. The community can be reassured that their traffic signals are resilient and wellmanaged, ensuring continued safety and reliability on local roads.

Addressing food insecurity has been a top council priority.
