SPEAKER_07 (00:30):
Thank you, Jenna.

certainly want you to do that.

7th and anywhere else down theroad, right Mark?
SPEAKER_09 (00:46):

Happy Independence Day toeverybody and thanks again for

SPEAKER_07 (00:51):
And we'll have the City Manager, City of Lincoln
City.
We're going to talk about theDriftwood Library and Dr.
Leslie Ogden from SamaritanNorth Lincoln Hospital is going
to be joining us.
That's all coming up on theDouble R Show right after this.

I am proud of our familytraditions and serving food,
family style, and doing it witha smile.
Enjoy dining out at Zeller's,Lincoln City, and Rose Lodge.
SPEAKER_07 (01:19):
City Manager Daphne LaGarza, you are into a new
budget.
SPEAKER_06 (01:25):
We are excited for the upcoming fiscal year.
SPEAKER_07 (01:28):
The new fiscal year, any new programs, ideas that
have come forth that are goingto be brand new for Lincoln
City?
SPEAKER_06 (01:38):
I'll have to think on that for a minute, but more
so in this budget, I think wehave a lot more continuation of
our long range planning studiesand things of that nature.
So water, sewer, storm drain, wehave a climate action plan.
So big push to either start upor in most cases, continue those
studies and complete thosestudies so that we can forecast
(02:01):
over the next 10, 20 years needsof Lincoln City and we can start
getting those balls rolling.
So big push for long rangeplanning in this coming budget.
SPEAKER_07 (02:10):
Long range planning does make so much sense because
otherwise it could really comeback and bite you.
SPEAKER_06 (02:16):
That's correct.
And it's something that needs tostart sooner rather than later
because there's so many steps toit.
First, you create the plan.
After that, you're creatingactual work out of the plan and
a capital improvement plan.
And then you're forecastingcost.
And then that, of course, isaffecting your funding sources
and different things like that.
So it's so critical to beginthat early and And so soon after
(02:39):
I got here, in some cases, wewere already starting some of
the future planning, long-rangeplanning, like the comp plan.
For example, that was alreadyunderway.
Right now, we've just pushed.
The first year I was here, wepushed to get them started.
Now we're pushing to keep themgoing and complete them.
So yeah, it's important to startthis process as soon as
possible.
SPEAKER_07 (02:58):
And most of those plans, that long-range planning,
is not just a one-time one-timething.
It's a continuum, is it not?
SPEAKER_06 (03:05):
It is continuous.
It is ongoing for the duration,for the 20 years or however long
you're long-range planning for.
And the other thing is, bystarting this early, we position
ourselves, we position LincolnCity to be able to take
advantage of federal moniescoming into the picture or state
monies, incentives, grants thatmake it easier for us to be able
(03:28):
to do things, implement thesestudies and implement the plans
that we need to implement tomake sure 20 years from now, we
have enough water for ourcommunity.
All the infrastructure isbasically able to provide for
the community 20 years down theroad.
SPEAKER_07 (03:44):
That takes a lot of dreaming.
SPEAKER_06 (03:46):
Oh, I don't, I just plan.
I don't know about dreaming.
I think it's more on theplanning end.
You know, it takes, I just, Idon't think I'm going to use the
word dreaming because it'salmost like all it requires is
the planning and the foresightto know that it needs to be done
and we can't not think about it.
It's really easy to not thinkabout because we're extremely
busy with stuff that needs tohappen right now and so it's
(04:07):
easy to get caught up and forgetabout the long-range planning
because I might not be here whenyou know this needs to be in
place and so it's easy to to notthink about it and do just
what's required right nowbecause like I say we are really
busy and we have a lot of thingsgoing on present time so I'm
just excited that we're thinkingabout it and council's
supporting us in in thinkingabout it and getting things in
(04:29):
place
SPEAKER_07 (04:30):
is this year's or the new year's by Budget,
dollar-wise, approximately thesame that we've had in the past,
or is it way up or less or what?
SPEAKER_06 (04:40):
Overall, it seems to me that it's slightly up.
It's not up to the level thatwe've seen over the last couple
years.
We're a little concerned becauseit hasn't gone up as much as
we've seen in past years.
So we have to kind of monitorthat each year and factor that
into our forecasting.
We're seeing some differenttrends from last year to this
(05:00):
year than we've seen in yearspast.
So we just need to keep an eyeon that.
We need to be aware that'shappening and factor that in.
SPEAKER_07 (05:07):
One of the things that's always in the budget that
is really a community favoriteare the grants that you give out
to nonprofits.
I assume that that's in thisyear's budget again.
SPEAKER_06 (05:18):
Yes, there is a line item for that in this year's
budget.
SPEAKER_07 (05:21):
And when does that process get underway?
SPEAKER_06 (05:23):
So the process is, we've started the process in
requesting applications.
We've started that part of theprocess.
The next step in the process iswe'll get to work on having the
council committee meet and makerecommendations to council.
So that process is occurring
SPEAKER_07 (05:37):
dollar-wise approximately what kind of
budget are we talking about forall departments
SPEAKER_06 (05:43):
the whole city off the top of my head I don't want
to give you an exact number Iwant to say 98 million it might
have been 89 million maybe Ihave them reversed it's
something along
SPEAKER_07 (05:54):
that's a staggering amount of money
SPEAKER_06 (05:56):
it is yes it's but we do amazing things we're a
large we're not a large city butwe have a police force we have a
library we have a tourism bureauwhich is kind of unique to
cities in So, yes, it soundsstaggering, but there's a lot
that we do.
SPEAKER_07 (06:13):
There's a lot that needs to be done.
SPEAKER_06 (06:15):
That's true.
SPEAKER_07 (06:16):
Your number one priority would be if I was to
say, Daphne, what is your numberone priority within this year's
budget?
What would that be?
SPEAKER_06 (06:26):
Oh, that's tough.
I don't have a number onepriority.
I think there's just a lot ofpriorities and we want to keep
moving on all of the council'spriorities and all of the things
that are in the budget.
So there's really not a numberone priority.
I think we just want to makesure that we're getting as much
as we can done.
SPEAKER_07 (06:42):
Now, if somebody wants to look at the budget that
you currently have approvedgoing into the next year, Can I
see that budget?
And if I can, where do I look?
SPEAKER_06 (06:54):
Yes, you can definitely go see the budget.
It is, I believe, online.
Or if it's not, it will soon beonline.
But I believe it is.
You could come in and request acopy.
But basically, go online.
You'll see the budget there.

SPEAKER_07 (08:12):
The library in Lincoln City, phenomenal.
How many books do you have here,do you know?
SPEAKER_10 (08:19):
We have about 80,000 books and DVDs here in this
library.
SPEAKER_07 (08:26):
Does that surprise you, that kind of volume?
SPEAKER_10 (08:28):
It's sort of, every time I run the report, I think,
do we really have that muchstuff?
And then I have to remember thatabout at least probably a
quarter to a half of thecollection is checked out at any
given time.
If you returned all the books, Idon't think we'd have room for
them.
But fortunately, they're out inthe community doing what they're
supposed to be doing.
SPEAKER_07 (08:49):
I was embarrassed to say, it's been some time since
I've been up here in thelibrary, and I walked in, and it
seems so open.
It's huge.
SPEAKER_10 (08:59):
It is really large.
We are lucky to have basicallythe entire second floor of the
City Hall building, so we'reblessed with an enormous amount
of square footage, which lets ushave, you know, we've got our
quiet room, so folks can go andread a newspaper in peace.
We've got the children's areawhere kids can run wild a little
bit you know, and make somenoise.
(09:20):
And it really lets usaccommodate all those different
needs in a way that isspectacular.
SPEAKER_07 (09:25):
Hold on now, making noise at a library, that can't
SPEAKER_10 (09:28):
be.
Well, we're not a shushinglibrary, really.
We like people to be comfortablehere and enjoy the library the
way that works best for them.
So, you know, we don't wantlittle kids to feel like they
have to be quiet and they can'tbe themselves.
And of course, we do ask people,you know, keep it down to a dull
roar.
(09:48):
Sometimes I have to remind thefolks at the front desk to keep
it down.
But really, you know, the daysof the library where the
librarian's going shush and youhave to hear a pin drop are long
since past.
SPEAKER_07 (10:03):
As I look around, you have paid a lot of attention
to the Hispanic community aswell.
SPEAKER_10 (10:08):
Yes.
We are always expanding ourSpanish language collection.
In fact, the City Council andBudget Committee recently
increased our budget for Spanishlanguage and other diverse And
we have some really greatcommunity connections with
Conexión Phoenix and other localgroups to bring more folks from
(10:28):
our Spanish-speaking communityinto the library.
And that's been a project ofmine probably for 10 years.
And it's one of those slowthings that has gradually
started to pay off.
And I'm really pleased to holdevents here like Dia de los
Muertos and the Day of theChild, Dia de los Niños, and
really make this a community hubforever.
(10:49):
Everybody.
SPEAKER_07 (10:50):
You not only have the Hispanic community, but
there are other cultures thatare now able to take advantage
of this facility as well.
SPEAKER_10 (10:59):
Absolutely, absolutely.
One of the things we do is wepay a lot of attention to census
information and other materialsabout what folks are moving into
our community, what languagesare being spoken, so that we can
pay attention and meet thoseneeds as they arise or even
before they've arisen, kind ofdo a little bit of crystal ball
(11:21):
predicting and figure out whatwe need.
SPEAKER_07 (11:23):
Speaking of things that you have to crystal ball,
your summer program here atDriftwood Library is quite
expensive.
SPEAKER_10 (11:32):
Yes.
Usually we have about 500 kidsand teens participate, and that
sign-up's just started at thebeginning of the month.
We'll be having really coolfamily events every Wednesday at
6 o'clock.
We've got a really nice lineupthis summer.
The Oregon Coast Aquarium isgoing to be coming in on July
(11:53):
10th to talk about tide pools.
And then last year, one of ourbiggest events was Reptile Views
with Jordan, where kids can meetand greet lots of snakes and
learn about other reptiles.
Oh, come on, this is a library.
Reptiles, really?
Well, you know, the reptile manis a longtime favorite, and
(12:16):
we're really happy to bebringing Jordan back.
Although, you know, we willdefinitely, if you have a little
bit of a fear of snakes you knowyou might want to pay attention
to the calendar but thosethat'll be on July 17th and
we'll be holding those in thereading room at the north end of
the library this year sothere'll be space for all the
(12:36):
kids and their families.
SPEAKER_07 (12:39):
Now there's a summer youth reading program as well
correct?
SPEAKER_10 (12:44):
That's right actually it's for every age from
birth through adult and we havecharts that you can use to track
the amount of time that youspend reading.
Once you fill up that firstchart kids get a t-shirt they're
really cool they've got bats onthem this year and adults get a
tote bag both supplies last andthen after that we've got these
(13:04):
really cool stickers so everyreading log that you fill up you
get a free sticker and they'renice vinyl you know you can put
them on your water bottle orwhatever they'll stay and then
also we have through the readyto read grant we have free books
available to every child whosigns up and the friends of the
library have also matched thatgrant.
(13:26):
So we were able to buy, oh,about$2,500 worth of board
books, easy readers, earlyfiction, stuff for the whole
community where kids can pick upa book, and that's theirs to
keep.
SPEAKER_07 (13:39):
Speaking of the Friends of the Library, that is
a very active group and raises alot of money for the library.
They
SPEAKER_10 (13:46):
surely do.
They've committed to fundingabout$27,000 worth of different
projects this year.
They They fund all these throughtheir weekly book sales, which
are from 10 to 2 on Mondays.
And almost everything the booksale is a dollar or less.
And they bring in probably$500,$600 every week that the book
(14:07):
sales open.
It's incredible.
And actually, the Oregon LibraryAssociation recognized them as
Library Supporters of the Yearthis past May.
They received an award from allthe Oregon librarians honoring
the work that they've done tosupport this library.
SPEAKER_07 (14:23):
One final question.
If I come in and request aspecific book, you don't happen
to have it, you can get
SPEAKER_10 (14:29):
it?
Absolutely.
If it's not something that oneof our partner libraries has,
because we partner withTillamook County Libraries and
Newport, you can fill out arequest and we'll either
purchase the item or we can goout beyond our consortium and
see if we can get it fromanother library in Oregon or
even somewhere else in theUnited States.
SPEAKER_07 (14:49):
I should have asked you at the beginning, which I've
always asked you every time I'veinterviewed Have you read a good
book lately?
SPEAKER_10 (14:56):
Oh, yes.
Actually, I'm really excitedabout our book club read for
this month.
We'll be meeting on the thirdTuesday of the month at 4
o'clock.
And the book is The Man WhoCould Move Clouds.
And I have to remember theauthor.
But it's a memoir.
Oh, Ingrid Rojas Contreras.
And it's a memoir about a womanwhose father was a curandera, a
(15:21):
kind of a magical healer.
and about her family's history,her family's belief in magical
healing, and how that's affectedher throughout her life.
It was one of my favorite booksthat I read last year, and I'm
really excited to be talkingabout it with the book club.
SPEAKER_00 (15:38):
We at La Roca are proud of our food, but don't
take our word for it.
Read the reviews.

Another writes, La Roca hasbecome one of our favorites
because it's authentic Mexicanfood.

need.
All your favorite beverages, afull deli, meat, produce, and of
course, groceries.
Joining us now, Dr.
Leslie Ogden from SamaritanNorth Lincoln Hospital.
In the time that I've been here,we've gone from North Lincoln
(16:18):
Hospital to Samaritan NorthLincoln Hospital, but now...
The picture is getting biggerand broader, is it not, doctor?
SPEAKER_02 (16:25):
Yes, yes.
We have just recently announced,and Santiam has announced as
well, cooperatively, our intentto affiliate.
And so people might say, well,what does that mean exactly?
Well, it means we're talking.
And we're talking.
It's very complex to bring ahospital into a health system,
(16:51):
take it from an independenthospital.
And what we're discussing isbringing Santiam Hospital and
the clinics in state and Oregoninto the Samaritan Health
Services system.
And so that just takes a lot oftime and effort and thought, and
we need to make sure it's rightfor everybody.
SPEAKER_07 (17:10):
So what's the advantage for the Samaritan
system as we see it today andthe Santiam Hospital as it is
today?
SPEAKER_02 (17:17):
Yeah, yeah, that's a great question because as a
health system, there is amagical tipping point where
things work better if you're alittle bit bigger.
And that has to do a lot withthe amount of people you take
care of.
It has to do with the size ofyour medical group.
(17:41):
It has to do with the size ofthe hospitals and the beds that
you command because you cannegotiate, for example, better
supply chain contracts if youare of a certain size.
I mean, there's just a lot ofbenefits to being at a certain
level.
And we have advantages justbeing a five-hospital system,
(18:03):
but there are a lot more, wethink, being a six-hospital
system.
So what is the advantage, if weflip it around and say, like,
what's the advantage fromSantiam's standpoint?
Well, they're an independenthospital, one of three in the
state.
And they, for quite some time,have been that they probably
(18:24):
could not maintain thatindependence as the tides have
changed in health care.
And so they've actually beenlooking for a partner, looking
for that entity that would bemost like them and would
treasure the community thatthey're in, in the ways that we
(18:46):
treasure our community.
So there's a lot of alignment.
SPEAKER_07 (18:49):
It sounds just like when North Lincoln Hospital
became part of the Samaritansystem.
SPEAKER_02 (18:55):
Absolutely.
In fact, we think back for awhile, we were very attuned at
affiliations and working in thismanner.
It's been some time since theearly 2000s when both the North
Lincoln Hospital and PacificCommunities Hospital became a
part of Samaritan, but now we'relooking at sort of the same
(19:17):
thing on the opposite end of ourservice area because as you as
people may know, who know theirgeography, the Santiam Hospital
and Clinic serve a piece of LinnCounty, as well as Marion
County.
It's directly abutted up againstour geographic service area
there with Lebanon CommunityHospital and the work that we do
(19:40):
in Linn County.
So it makes sensegeographically, but it also
makes sense culturally, right?
Because they take care of theircommunity and the people there
there in the same ways that wefeel that we take care of ours
with that utmost important, thatcommunity focus, that, you know,
(20:02):
uncompromised quality andwanting the best for their
people.
And so when we think about thatsort of cultural fit, it just
all seems to make sense.
SPEAKER_07 (20:14):
So what kind of facilities do they bring to the
table for the Samaritan system?
SPEAKER_02 (20:18):
Yeah, so they have a 40-bed hospital, but also 11
clinics.
Oh my.
That service that area.
They also have an ambulanceservice.
That's one of their very uniqueservice lines.
Within
SPEAKER_07 (20:32):
the hospital.
SPEAKER_02 (20:33):
Affiliate with that hospital itself.
The hospital runs it.
So, that's some expertise thatthey have that we do not.
And so, it's a verycomplimentary sort of thing when
you think about the alignmentthey have between their 40-bed
hospital and clinics.
It's very similar to some of thehospitals that we we have in
some of the communities, butalso that they bring to the
(20:56):
table expertise and servicelines that we don't even have.
SPEAKER_07 (21:00):
Because when the Samaritan system first took over
North Ligon Hospital and PacificHumanities Hospital, the first
thing you started looking at wasa brand new building.
SPEAKER_02 (21:09):
Yes, yes.
I mean, a long time ago, but weknew that that was going to be
something that we would need todeliver some way, working with
the health districts.
And yeah, it was basically a20-year planning period.
Absolutely.
SPEAKER_07 (21:25):
So what's the timeline on this project?
SPEAKER_02 (21:28):
Yeah, so we're going to spend the rest of this year
really making sure that theseare the right decisions.
For both parties.
For both parties.
Sure.
Both parties.
And you know, nothing's for sureuntil the ink's dried.
So we're going to be looking athow would we come together?
How would this work?
(21:49):
And make sure that all of thoseimportant conversations are had.
But if everything still looksvery positive by the end of the
year, we'll have worked an awfullot on what those contracts look
like, what those legalarrangements look like, and
we'll be able to move forwardfrom there.
SPEAKER_07 (22:04):
Moving forward from there, just onward and upward.
I'm in awe of what this wholeproject means.
SPEAKER_02 (22:14):
It's pretty darn important, and we're super
excited.
SPEAKER_05 (22:18):
If you're single and 50, nothing out there.
Like walking up on an avocadobin, there's like seven left.
Five are rotten, two aresuspect.
You just end up leaving with anonion.

I went there last year and had afew tastes and a few bits of
bacon and the like, and it wasgood.
SPEAKER_07 (24:30):
Now, one of the other things you'll probably
want to go to that I may miss,war is going to be on stage.
All right.
A Grammy Award-winning war, onenight only, July 20th, also at
Chinook Winds, and tickets areon sale for that at the box
office.
In August, we got Lincoln CityNational to light out.
This is a fun event.
(24:50):
It's kind of neat to be able togo out and meet your neighbors
and your friends up at CurtissPark and enjoy their company for
the evening and just get to knowwho they are.
SPEAKER_09 (25:02):
Those are good events and definitely want to be
participating in that again thisyear.
SPEAKER_07 (25:07):
Also, I had to chuckle at this event that we're
going to start promoting alreadybecause school just got out a
few weeks ago and already we'retalking about it, have it lined
up for the 30th annualStuff-A-Bus, where we will
literally fill a school bus,plumb full of school supplies
(25:28):
for the students of NorthLincoln County.
This is in cooperation, ofcourse, with the mall.
Lincoln City Adelance, ourspecial thanks to the entire
staff there.
We also have a school bus thatwe will fill with school
supplies.
So it's Stuff-A-Bus, the 30thannual.
But this year, we're going tostart at eight o'clock, not at
(25:49):
six o'clock in the morning forStuff-A-Bus.
And again, that's August 30.
And I believe that we'll do itunless you've got something from
your side of the table to passalong.
SPEAKER_09 (26:00):
Yeah, well, we've got the Art on the Beach coming
up this weekend, too.
Oh, yes.
Yeah, so Saturday from 8 to 11in front of Chinook Winds Casino
Resort.
It is, I think, our fourth yearof doing Art on the Beach where
we grab some sand rakes and somevolunteers and create some
incredible artwork out there onthe beaches, again, right in
front of Chinook Winds.
SPEAKER_07 (26:20):
Who can participate?
SPEAKER_09 (26:22):
Well, anybody can come join us.
We actually always have acommunity spot too, but the main
art is done by volunteers thathave been organized by the
Cascade Head Buys forCollaborative.
And do we know what the artpiece is going to be?
I think you're just going tohave to come down and see.
SPEAKER_07 (26:37):
Ah, there you go.
But it
SPEAKER_09 (26:38):
will definitely have something to do with climate
change and migration.
Migration of species, we'repartnering with the Audubon
Society on that one.
SPEAKER_07 (26:45):
Very good.
And again, the time on that?
SPEAKER_09 (26:48):
Yeah, from 8 to 11 Saturday, July 6th in front of
Chinook Winds Casino Resort.
Just come on down to the beach.
Remember, it's better at thebeach In this instance, art
SPEAKER_07 (26:57):
is better at the beach.
SPEAKER_09 (26:57):
That's the only place to get this, art at the
SPEAKER_07 (27:00):
beach.

SPEAKER_07 (01:19):
City Manager Daphne LaGarza, you are into a new
budget.
SPEAKER_06 (01:25):
We are excited for the upcoming fiscal year.
SPEAKER_07 (01:28):
The new fiscal year, any new programs, ideas that
have come forth that are goingto be brand new for Lincoln
City?
SPEAKER_06 (01:38):
I'll have to think on that for a minute, but more
so in this budget, I think wehave a lot more continuation of
our long range planning studiesand things of that nature.
So water, sewer, storm drain, wehave a climate action plan.
So big push to either start upor in most cases, continue those
studies and complete thosestudies so that we can forecast
(02:01):
over the next 10, 20 years needsof Lincoln City and we can start
getting those balls rolling.
So big push for long rangeplanning in this coming budget.
SPEAKER_07 (02:10):
Long range planning does make so much sense because
otherwise it could really comeback and bite you.
SPEAKER_06 (02:16):
That's correct.
And it's something that needs tostart sooner rather than later
because there's so many steps toit.
First, you create the plan.
After that, you're creatingactual work out of the plan and
a capital improvement plan.
And then you're forecastingcost.
And then that, of course, isaffecting your funding sources
and different things like that.
So it's so critical to beginthat early and And so soon after
(02:39):
I got here, in some cases, wewere already starting some of
the future planning, long-rangeplanning, like the comp plan.
For example, that was alreadyunderway.
Right now, we've just pushed.
The first year I was here, wepushed to get them started.
Now we're pushing to keep themgoing and complete them.
So yeah, it's important to startthis process as soon as
possible.
SPEAKER_07 (02:58):
And most of those plans, that long-range planning,
is not just a one-time one-timething.
It's a continuum, is it not?
SPEAKER_06 (03:05):
It is continuous.
It is ongoing for the duration,for the 20 years or however long
you're long-range planning for.
And the other thing is, bystarting this early, we position
ourselves, we position LincolnCity to be able to take
advantage of federal moniescoming into the picture or state
monies, incentives, grants thatmake it easier for us to be able
(03:28):
to do things, implement thesestudies and implement the plans
that we need to implement tomake sure 20 years from now, we
have enough water for ourcommunity.
All the infrastructure isbasically able to provide for
the community 20 years down theroad.
SPEAKER_07 (03:44):
That takes a lot of dreaming.
SPEAKER_06 (03:46):
Oh, I don't, I just plan.
I don't know about dreaming.
I think it's more on theplanning end.
You know, it takes, I just, Idon't think I'm going to use the
word dreaming because it'salmost like all it requires is
the planning and the foresightto know that it needs to be done
and we can't not think about it.
It's really easy to not thinkabout because we're extremely
busy with stuff that needs tohappen right now and so it's
(04:07):
easy to get caught up and forgetabout the long-range planning
because I might not be here whenyou know this needs to be in
place and so it's easy to to notthink about it and do just
what's required right nowbecause like I say we are really
busy and we have a lot of thingsgoing on present time so I'm
just excited that we're thinkingabout it and council's
supporting us in in thinkingabout it and getting things in
(04:29):
place
SPEAKER_07 (04:30):
is this year's or the new year's by Budget,
dollar-wise, approximately thesame that we've had in the past,
or is it way up or less or what?
SPEAKER_06 (04:40):
Overall, it seems to me that it's slightly up.
It's not up to the level thatwe've seen over the last couple
years.
We're a little concerned becauseit hasn't gone up as much as
we've seen in past years.
So we have to kind of monitorthat each year and factor that
into our forecasting.
We're seeing some differenttrends from last year to this
(05:00):
year than we've seen in yearspast.
So we just need to keep an eyeon that.
We need to be aware that'shappening and factor that in.
SPEAKER_07 (05:07):
One of the things that's always in the budget that
is really a community favoriteare the grants that you give out
to nonprofits.
I assume that that's in thisyear's budget again.
SPEAKER_06 (05:18):
Yes, there is a line item for that in this year's
budget.
SPEAKER_07 (05:21):
And when does that process get underway?
SPEAKER_06 (05:23):
So the process is, we've started the process in
requesting applications.
We've started that part of theprocess.
The next step in the process iswe'll get to work on having the
council committee meet and makerecommendations to council.
So that process is occurring
SPEAKER_07 (05:37):
dollar-wise approximately what kind of
budget are we talking about forall departments
SPEAKER_06 (05:43):
the whole city off the top of my head I don't want
to give you an exact number Iwant to say 98 million it might
have been 89 million maybe Ihave them reversed it's
something along
SPEAKER_07 (05:54):
that's a staggering amount of money
SPEAKER_06 (05:56):
it is yes it's but we do amazing things we're a
large we're not a large city butwe have a police force we have a
library we have a tourism bureauwhich is kind of unique to
cities in So, yes, it soundsstaggering, but there's a lot
that we do.
SPEAKER_07 (06:13):
There's a lot that needs to be done.
SPEAKER_06 (06:15):
That's true.
SPEAKER_07 (06:16):
Your number one priority would be if I was to
say, Daphne, what is your numberone priority within this year's
budget?
What would that be?
SPEAKER_06 (06:26):
Oh, that's tough.
I don't have a number onepriority.
I think there's just a lot ofpriorities and we want to keep
moving on all of the council'spriorities and all of the things
that are in the budget.
So there's really not a numberone priority.
I think we just want to makesure that we're getting as much
as we can done.
SPEAKER_07 (06:42):
Now, if somebody wants to look at the budget that
you currently have approvedgoing into the next year, Can I
see that budget?
And if I can, where do I look?
SPEAKER_06 (06:54):
Yes, you can definitely go see the budget.
It is, I believe, online.
Or if it's not, it will soon beonline.
But I believe it is.
You could come in and request acopy.
But basically, go online.
You'll see the budget there.
SPEAKER_07 (07:06):

SPEAKER_07 (08:12):
The library in Lincoln City, phenomenal.
How many books do you have here,do you know?
SPEAKER_10 (08:19):
We have about 80,000 books and DVDs here in this
library.
SPEAKER_07 (08:26):
Does that surprise you, that kind of volume?
SPEAKER_10 (08:28):
It's sort of, every time I run the report, I think,
do we really have that muchstuff?
And then I have to remember thatabout at least probably a
quarter to a half of thecollection is checked out at any
given time.
If you returned all the books, Idon't think we'd have room for
them.
But fortunately, they're out inthe community doing what they're
supposed to be doing.
SPEAKER_07 (08:49):
I was embarrassed to say, it's been some time since
I've been up here in thelibrary, and I walked in, and it
seems so open.
It's huge.
SPEAKER_10 (08:59):
It is really large.
We are lucky to have basicallythe entire second floor of the
City Hall building, so we'reblessed with an enormous amount
of square footage, which lets ushave, you know, we've got our
quiet room, so folks can go andread a newspaper in peace.
We've got the children's areawhere kids can run wild a little
bit you know, and make somenoise.
(09:20):
And it really lets usaccommodate all those different
needs in a way that isspectacular.
SPEAKER_07 (09:25):
Hold on now, making noise at a library, that can't
SPEAKER_10 (09:28):
be.
Well, we're not a shushinglibrary, really.
We like people to be comfortablehere and enjoy the library the
way that works best for them.
So, you know, we don't wantlittle kids to feel like they
have to be quiet and they can'tbe themselves.
And of course, we do ask people,you know, keep it down to a dull
roar.
(09:48):
Sometimes I have to remind thefolks at the front desk to keep
it down.
But really, you know, the daysof the library where the
librarian's going shush and youhave to hear a pin drop are long
since past.
SPEAKER_07 (10:03):
As I look around, you have paid a lot of attention
to the Hispanic community aswell.
SPEAKER_10 (10:08):
Yes.
We are always expanding ourSpanish language collection.
In fact, the City Council andBudget Committee recently
increased our budget for Spanishlanguage and other diverse And
we have some really greatcommunity connections with
Conexión Phoenix and other localgroups to bring more folks from
(10:28):
our Spanish-speaking communityinto the library.
And that's been a project ofmine probably for 10 years.
And it's one of those slowthings that has gradually
started to pay off.
And I'm really pleased to holdevents here like Dia de los
Muertos and the Day of theChild, Dia de los Niños, and
really make this a community hubforever.
(10:49):
Everybody.
SPEAKER_07 (10:50):
You not only have the Hispanic community, but
there are other cultures thatare now able to take advantage
of this facility as well.
SPEAKER_10 (10:59):
Absolutely, absolutely.
One of the things we do is wepay a lot of attention to census
information and other materialsabout what folks are moving into
our community, what languagesare being spoken, so that we can
pay attention and meet thoseneeds as they arise or even
before they've arisen, kind ofdo a little bit of crystal ball
(11:21):
predicting and figure out whatwe need.
SPEAKER_07 (11:23):
Speaking of things that you have to crystal ball,
your summer program here atDriftwood Library is quite
expensive.
SPEAKER_10 (11:32):
Yes.
Usually we have about 500 kidsand teens participate, and that
sign-up's just started at thebeginning of the month.
We'll be having really coolfamily events every Wednesday at
6 o'clock.
We've got a really nice lineupthis summer.
The Oregon Coast Aquarium isgoing to be coming in on July
(11:53):
10th to talk about tide pools.
And then last year, one of ourbiggest events was Reptile Views
with Jordan, where kids can meetand greet lots of snakes and
learn about other reptiles.
Oh, come on, this is a library.
Reptiles, really?
Well, you know, the reptile manis a longtime favorite, and
(12:16):
we're really happy to bebringing Jordan back.
Although, you know, we willdefinitely, if you have a little
bit of a fear of snakes you knowyou might want to pay attention
to the calendar but thosethat'll be on July 17th and
we'll be holding those in thereading room at the north end of
the library this year sothere'll be space for all the
(12:36):
kids and their families.
SPEAKER_07 (12:39):
Now there's a summer youth reading program as well
correct?
SPEAKER_10 (12:44):
That's right actually it's for every age from
birth through adult and we havecharts that you can use to track
the amount of time that youspend reading.
Once you fill up that firstchart kids get a t-shirt they're
really cool they've got bats onthem this year and adults get a
tote bag both supplies last andthen after that we've got these
(13:04):
really cool stickers so everyreading log that you fill up you
get a free sticker and they'renice vinyl you know you can put
them on your water bottle orwhatever they'll stay and then
also we have through the readyto read grant we have free books
available to every child whosigns up and the friends of the
library have also matched thatgrant.
(13:26):
So we were able to buy, oh,about$2,500 worth of board
books, easy readers, earlyfiction, stuff for the whole
community where kids can pick upa book, and that's theirs to
keep.
SPEAKER_07 (13:39):
Speaking of the Friends of the Library, that is
a very active group and raises alot of money for the library.
They
SPEAKER_10 (13:46):
surely do.
They've committed to fundingabout$27,000 worth of different
projects this year.
They They fund all these throughtheir weekly book sales, which
are from 10 to 2 on Mondays.
And almost everything the booksale is a dollar or less.
And they bring in probably$500,$600 every week that the book
(14:07):
sales open.
It's incredible.
And actually, the Oregon LibraryAssociation recognized them as
Library Supporters of the Yearthis past May.
They received an award from allthe Oregon librarians honoring
the work that they've done tosupport this library.
SPEAKER_07 (14:23):
One final question.
If I come in and request aspecific book, you don't happen
to have it, you can get
SPEAKER_10 (14:29):
it?
Absolutely.
If it's not something that oneof our partner libraries has,
because we partner withTillamook County Libraries and
Newport, you can fill out arequest and we'll either
purchase the item or we can goout beyond our consortium and
see if we can get it fromanother library in Oregon or
even somewhere else in theUnited States.
SPEAKER_07 (14:49):
I should have asked you at the beginning, which I've
always asked you every time I'veinterviewed Have you read a good
book lately?
SPEAKER_10 (14:56):
Oh, yes.
Actually, I'm really excitedabout our book club read for
this month.
We'll be meeting on the thirdTuesday of the month at 4
o'clock.
And the book is The Man WhoCould Move Clouds.
And I have to remember theauthor.
But it's a memoir.
Oh, Ingrid Rojas Contreras.
And it's a memoir about a womanwhose father was a curandera, a
(15:21):
kind of a magical healer.
and about her family's history,her family's belief in magical
healing, and how that's affectedher throughout her life.
It was one of my favorite booksthat I read last year, and I'm
really excited to be talkingabout it with the book club.
SPEAKER_00 (15:38):
We at La Roca are proud of our food, but don't
take our word for it.

course, groceries.
Joining us now, Dr.
Leslie Ogden from SamaritanNorth Lincoln Hospital.
In the time that I've been here,we've gone from North Lincoln
(16:18):
Hospital to Samaritan NorthLincoln Hospital, but now...
The picture is getting biggerand broader, is it not, doctor?
SPEAKER_02 (16:25):
Yes, yes.
We have just recently announced,and Santiam has announced as
well, cooperatively, our intentto affiliate.
And so people might say, well,what does that mean exactly?
Well, it means we're talking.
And we're talking.
It's very complex to bring ahospital into a health system,
(16:51):
take it from an independenthospital.
And what we're discussing isbringing Santiam Hospital and
the clinics in state and Oregoninto the Samaritan Health
Services system.
And so that just takes a lot oftime and effort and thought, and
we need to make sure it's rightfor everybody.
SPEAKER_07 (17:10):
So what's the advantage for the Samaritan
system as we see it today andthe Santiam Hospital as it is
today?
SPEAKER_02 (17:17):
Yeah, yeah, that's a great question because as a
health system, there is amagical tipping point where
things work better if you're alittle bit bigger.
And that has to do a lot withthe amount of people you take
care of.
It has to do with the size ofyour medical group.
(17:41):
It has to do with the size ofthe hospitals and the beds that
you command because you cannegotiate, for example, better
supply chain contracts if youare of a certain size.
I mean, there's just a lot ofbenefits to being at a certain
level.
And we have advantages justbeing a five-hospital system,
(18:03):
but there are a lot more, wethink, being a six-hospital
system.
So what is the advantage, if weflip it around and say, like,
what's the advantage fromSantiam's standpoint?
Well, they're an independenthospital, one of three in the
state.
And they, for quite some time,have been that they probably
(18:24):
could not maintain thatindependence as the tides have
changed in health care.
And so they've actually beenlooking for a partner, looking
for that entity that would bemost like them and would
treasure the community thatthey're in, in the ways that we
(18:46):
treasure our community.
So there's a lot of alignment.
SPEAKER_07 (18:49):
It sounds just like when North Lincoln Hospital
became part of the Samaritansystem.
SPEAKER_02 (18:55):
Absolutely.
In fact, we think back for awhile, we were very attuned at
affiliations and working in thismanner.
It's been some time since theearly 2000s when both the North
Lincoln Hospital and PacificCommunities Hospital became a
part of Samaritan, but now we'relooking at sort of the same
(19:17):
thing on the opposite end of ourservice area because as you as
people may know, who know theirgeography, the Santiam Hospital
and Clinic serve a piece of LinnCounty, as well as Marion
County.
It's directly abutted up againstour geographic service area
there with Lebanon CommunityHospital and the work that we do
(19:40):
in Linn County.
So it makes sensegeographically, but it also
makes sense culturally, right?
Because they take care of theircommunity and the people there
there in the same ways that wefeel that we take care of ours
with that utmost important, thatcommunity focus, that, you know,
(20:02):
uncompromised quality andwanting the best for their
people.
And so when we think about thatsort of cultural fit, it just
all seems to make sense.
SPEAKER_07 (20:14):
So what kind of facilities do they bring to the
table for the Samaritan system?
SPEAKER_02 (20:18):
Yeah, so they have a 40-bed hospital, but also 11
clinics.
Oh my.
That service that area.
They also have an ambulanceservice.
That's one of their very uniqueservice lines.
Within
SPEAKER_07 (20:32):
the hospital.
SPEAKER_02 (20:33):
Affiliate with that hospital itself.
The hospital runs it.
So, that's some expertise thatthey have that we do not.
And so, it's a verycomplimentary sort of thing when
you think about the alignmentthey have between their 40-bed
hospital and clinics.
It's very similar to some of thehospitals that we we have in
some of the communities, butalso that they bring to the
(20:56):
table expertise and servicelines that we don't even have.
SPEAKER_07 (21:00):
Because when the Samaritan system first took over
North Ligon Hospital and PacificHumanities Hospital, the first
thing you started looking at wasa brand new building.
SPEAKER_02 (21:09):
Yes, yes.
I mean, a long time ago, but weknew that that was going to be
something that we would need todeliver some way, working with
the health districts.
And yeah, it was basically a20-year planning period.
Absolutely.
SPEAKER_07 (21:25):
So what's the timeline on this project?
SPEAKER_02 (21:28):
Yeah, so we're going to spend the rest of this year
really making sure that theseare the right decisions.
For both parties.
For both parties.
Sure.
Both parties.
And you know, nothing's for sureuntil the ink's dried.
So we're going to be looking athow would we come together?
How would this work?
(21:49):
And make sure that all of thoseimportant conversations are had.
But if everything still looksvery positive by the end of the
year, we'll have worked an awfullot on what those contracts look
like, what those legalarrangements look like, and
we'll be able to move forwardfrom there.
SPEAKER_07 (22:04):
Moving forward from there, just onward and upward.

literally fill a school bus,plumb full of school supplies
