Covid-19 Funding Distributed TO Businesses Across Montana

Stress on local economy here in Montana businesses as a result of the Lockdown is real. In answer to the economic meltdown nationally, an emergency funding program was created to help businesses across America.

Governor Bullock and his administration opened up the grant program to provide businesses impacted by his Lockdown a cushion. Each county funding is updated weekly and can be accessed through the link here. The list for each county is available for analysis and the funding to each county varies. As the list is updated weekly it is difficult to get any final numbers on the amount of taxpayer funding that will be spent here in Montana.

The average citizen is unaware of how much funding was available or what process is used to qualify or apply for assistance. Businesses in each of the 56 counties in Montana, as of June 26th received relief from the federal government Covid-19 relief funding program.

In Broadwater County there was originally $230,360.00 made available to offset the economic impact caused by the Bullock Lockdown. In the distribution of that funding many of the businesses averaged a $10,000.00 grant.

Looking into the distribution of those funds brings to question how are the grant applicants provided an opportunity in the beginning and what is required to qualify for this funding.

We don’t have those answers at this time but here are a few examples from the report for Broadwater County that raises questions to what is essential and where is accountability.

Broadwater County Health Services $45,000.00
3 Dimensional Health & Wellness $10,000.00
Jolt CPR LLC $8,000.00
Mountain Essence Inc. $3,000.00
Jenkins Beverage Montana Inc $10,000.00
5N Logistics LLC $10,000.00
Bull Stock Media, LLC $6,049.00

In several counties there has been a substantial amount of funding allocated. In Flathead County $5,419,670, Yellowstone County $5,454,079, Missoula County $6,799,61. In Petroleum County no funding was allocated there as of June 26th 2020.

Townsend School District Deals With Covid-19

Here in Broadwater County where there were a handful of confirmed cases of covid-19. Elected and appointed officials have been wrangling with answers on how to deal with covid-19. Townsend schools are getting ready to open but the directive from Governor Bullock is weighing heavily on the decision.

The Broadwater County Health Board last Monday were delivered a draft copy of the proposed school district action regarding the order regarding masks on children returning to school

The County Health Officer had not seen the draft proposed action and declined to comment on the issue.  The board agreed to review the draft proposal but were not sure if the school district authority over these matters were proper to come before the health board.

The School Superintendent Erik Wilkerson provided us a copy of the School Mask draft that is now up for review. It is important to know that this draft is a work in progress and may be changed as review continues.

The draft proposal will be reviewed by the full school board at their scheduled meeting on August 4th 2020.  The meeting will be at 6:00PM in the school Community Room.  It is a priority issue before the board as summer break is nearly over.

In the draft document it is proposed that schedules will be designed to limit large gatherings in the Gym, Multipurpose Room, and Playground areas.

As for Social/Physical Distancing it is proposed that physical distancing of students and staff will occur to the degree necessary for the activity, event and location.  The wearing of masks will be required where social distancing cannot be accomplished.

Face coverings will be called for by ALL staff, visitors, and students.  Masks will be required in any shared area where a physical distance of 6 feet cannot be maintained.  The face coverings must be school appropriate.  It is not known what school appropriate is at this time.

It is proposed that staff will be asked to sign a release statement at the beginning of the year that guarantees they are responsible to monitor health and potential exposure every day.

“Townsend Schools is asking  for the public to be a part of this process. Townsend Schools believes that the school system is a reflection of the community it serves. We need your input to help make this school a representation of the people and needs of Broadwater County.”

“Townsend Schools is committed to building a school that provides a safe and healthy environment, while still being cost-effective, practical, and durable.  We need your help to make this happen. We look forward to working with the Townsend Schools community.”

Students and parents will also be asked to monitor for potential exposure and systems, and if exposed they “Must” stay home and seek medical attention. 

It is also encouraging that all staff and students submit to Covid-19 testing at the beginning of the school year and at any time through out the year if they are symptomatic.

The district is also going to look at the rural school bus schedule and policies that will provide an outline to accommodate safety.  

Many of the parents we spoke to are concerned about how a requirement for students to wear masks and maintain social distancing can be achieved. 

With many factors weighing in on the issue of safety the school board members may be faced with moving forward with holding the classes utilizing restrictions or possibly placing physical classroom learning. on hold.

Lawyers Working Against the Citizens

On June 5th 2020 Broadwater County Commissioner Laura Obert was formally charged with felony theft and misdemeanor official misconduct. In the arraignment proceeding, both sides of the case had prearranged a process agreement. In that agreement Special Prosecutor Marty Lambert that was appointed by Montana Attorney General Tim Fox to represent the citizens o Broadwater County fully agreed without conditions or objections.

The judge in the matter Judge Menehan in the First Judicial District of Montana stated that he would look forward to getting the agreement in writing as soon as available. The defense attorneys agreed to get that document to the court.

On July 24th 2020 the legal maneuvering surfaced the agreement and was finally filed in court. At the time of this writing, we are not sure if Judge Menehan signed the agreement.

The agreement that was made provided for a stipulation that provided the defendant in the case to continue working as an an elected official in Broadwater County. Many citizens that are following the case were surprised that the special prosecutor agreed to the stipulation.Download

Citizens in Broadwater County are calling for action in the court to represent the people. Many are making a claim that in most all other cases providing a free pass to the average citizen is rarely if ever considered. In this case Commissioner Obert is not on administrative leave with or without pay.

Commissioner Folkvord who was serving as vice chairman of the commission when the charges were filed continues to decline comment on the matter claiming it is strictly a legal matter not under the jurisdiction of the Commission. Past Commission Chairman Mike Delger also remains silent on the matter.

County Attorney Cory Swanson has recused himself from the case due to the statutory conflict of interest law. When asked for information on the case all questions get referred to Special Prosecutor Marty Lambert who declines to comment on the case.

Will the citizens of Broadwater County see justice? That is the question as this case moves forward. Commissioner Obert’s legal team before submitting the stipulation agreement is moving forward with a motion for dismissal and has moved to reschedule the day of trial.

The case has brought forward multiple scenarios including legal action against the county for violating the law regarding public information. Broadwater Reporter filed lawsuit against the County naming County Sheriff Wynn Meehan for violating Montana law providing for the release of public information. The refusal to release the booking photo is a direct violation of Montana law.

Helena City Officials Deny School Safety

The Helena City Commission moved forward on their new fiscal year budget.  In the process, the safety of children in the schools were placed on the chopping block.  Commissioner O’Loughlin brought forward an amendment to the fiscal year budget to hold back $300,000.00 from the Helena Police Department.

The amendment will take away funds of 4 vacant positions in the police department and decide whether to do away school resource officers.

If the full commission moves this to a final vote by August 1st, Helena schools will be without police officers tasked with protecting your children.

The commission will hold a public discussion on the amendment and make a final decision on this proposed action July 9th 2020.  Will the Citizens have a voice at this meeting?

Dennison Rivera provided the commissioners a scolding last night at the meeting regarding public participation.  He is concerned that the citizens of Helena will continue to be ignored for political bandwagon issues instead of worrying about what is best for Helena Residents.

Mr. Dennison went on and stated “I wish it was a genuine discussion. But I get the impression the decision is already predetermined again, based on the fact they continue to talk about reallocating funds before having a public conversation.”

The Helena School District officials and the Helena Police Department now will be holding their breath before school opens to deal with the final decision in public schools and community safety.
