OFFICE OF THE MAYOR & VICE MAYOR
As communities continue to see some progress in the containment of the Coronavirus, the Town maintains a watchful eye on the economic impacts to our local businesses. In an effort to provide immediate assistance to Carefree businesses, Town staff and Council members have contacted all local businesses to discuss the federal stimulus programs and offer assistance. We will continue to communicate with our local businesses to assistant them in their recovery.
Typical of many communities, the municipal sales tax revenues generated by these local businesses are important to offset the expenses to provide for core municipal services. Within Carefree, a majority of the Town’s revenue (approximately 55% annually) is derived from municipal sales tax. The economic impacts of the COVID-19 business closures began approximately one month ago; however, the specific financial impacts will not be known until late May or June. Here is why. Sales taxes are paid in different increments of time by local businesses. These payments are made and accounted for directly through the Arizona Department of Revenue, not the Town. The collective receipts filed with the Arizona Department of Revenue are then reported back to the local communities approximately 4 to 6 weeks after payment/recordation. In other words, there is at least a one to two month delay until the Town can see the exact financial impacts. Obviously, the impacts will be significant; however, it is important to note that Carefree’s economy contains some significant “essential services” that have remained opened. As a result, the question is how much of an offset these businesses can provide with the respective decline from the other sectors of our local economy.
As a result of this uncertainty and similar to most local communities, the Town’s budget discussions typically scheduled during this time period will be delayed to late May so the Town can sort through the future Department of Revenues receipts and make better forecasts for the upcoming fiscal year. It is important to note that the Town has historically instituted conservative financial policies. These concerted efforts to save when the economy is productive has permitted the Town to preserve and grow its rainy day fund and capital reserves. Based upon continued conservative financial practices, reduction in anticipated expenses and perhaps, supplemental funds from the Town’s rainy day fund, the Town is positioned to weather this storm.
Additionally, Town staff as well as Mayor Peterson, Vice Mayor Crane and Councilmember Kroyer continue to work with our federal representatives to seek stimulus funds to assist small communities such as Carefree that have been economically harmed by the COVID-19 shutdowns. Both Arizona Senators Martha McSally and Krysten Sinema have been active in these discussions and continue to lobby their peers and the Department of Treasury to provide financial assistance to small communities that were left out of previous stimulus programs. We are beginning to hear positive signs that these collective efforts may result in an additional stimulus program assisting small communities such as Carefree. If these stimulus dollars are received by the Town, they will further assist the Town to deal with anticipated budget shortfalls.
Indeed, these are unprecedented times. There is no playbook when our businesses are forced to close to protect the health of our residents. The Town will continue to work with the health experts and State leadership to assistant in a plan to safe guard public health while delicately balancing the economic and social needs to open local businesses, places of worship and recreation facilities, hopefully in the near term. Even upon the restart, we can still expect to have procedures in place to maintain social distancing and frequent personal hygiene practices; however, at least this future relaxation of the stay at home orders will provide some glimpse of normalcy.
Please stay well and safe and know that your Town staff, Mayor and Council continue to work on your behalf so we may all collectively navigate these unfamiliar waters.
Mayor Les Peterson
Vice Mayor John Crane
Hi everybody. This is Alberto from Alberto Ristorante. I am taking a few days off this week, but will be returning to serve our loyal customers on Thursday-Saturday. Next week, I will be back to the usual take-out days of Tuesday-Saturday, open at 3:30 PM.

Dear Lyn,
Here’s something important that Carefree residents can do during this pandemic to save our lovely desert and prevent summer fires.
Let’s all consider getting some exercise and ridding Carefree of the invasive globe chamomile that is taking over in our area. This pretty, but highly invasive plant, is spreading rapidly and crowding out our native plants.
And, what should be of utmost concern right now is that when our area’s globe chamomile dries this summer it will become a dangerous, highly flammable hazard for homes in Carefree.
To remove the plants, wear gloves, dig up the roots, and place the plant in a trash bag to dispose.
For more information on invasive plants, go to: https://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/fire/wild-fire-prevention/remove-invasive-plants

(Many of you will remember Deane, one of the carvers who was always involved in the Pumpkin Festival. Deane was popular and outgoing, so interacted with lots of the attendees. He is also a professional musician. He sent me these to fun links and said I could feel free to share them with you. He's doing another one soon that will include a famous drummer. I'll pass that along when he sends it. Enjoy!)

Thank you Lyn!!

Thanks Lyn,
I will pass it on to my Volunteers and Clients.

I always wondered since virus have that little coating on them. I use soap, and of course we have the wolves whose spit could kill the Taliban. lol

Thanks, Lyn! Another stellar newsletter!!!! Thank you for plugging the Tolmachoffs!

Non profit info
The local non profits have, for the most part, shut down due to government recommendations for "social distancing" until COVID19 has run the worst of its course. The Foothills Food Bank and the Foothills Caring Corps, which provide vital services to those in need, are still operating with some limitations. Their information is below.
The Desert Foothills Food Bank is open to help those in need Monday thru Friday, 9 a.m. to noon and Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
No contact is occurring between our Clients and our Volunteers. The Client calls in, we prepare their food and place it on a table outside our door. They drive up and put the food directly into their vehicle. It seems to be working.
We can use help with food and non-perishable items. Of course, they are exactly what everyone is looking for - toilet paper, paper towels, disinfectants, bleach. Food items are all kinds of soups, pasta sauce, and juice are items we can use at this time.
Do not need cereal, mixed beans, corn or green beans. Have plenty of these items.
We appreciate any help with these things.
Thanks
Pam DiPietro

FOOTHILLS CARING CORPS UPDATE
We would like to let the community know that we are currently able to safely provide services and to know some of the cautions that we are taking when helping our Neighbors and volunteers. Our goal is to help reduce anxiety and let the community know that we are open and that we are maintaining our schedule in a limited fashion to do the best we can to help one another. Our primary community effort is focused on utilizing the telephone to make telephone reassurance calls, not only for our volunteers and Neighbors but all of our neighbors throughout our Desert Foothills communities who are isolated and alone. We hope to start a surge of neighbors telephoning neighbors to help reduce the panic and worry. We also want to share community resources as much as is possible so people know what is available to them. We hope you might reach out and help.
Hello All:
A very quick copy of the procedures we have been following as well as added new guidelines for the additional safety of our volunteers, Neighbors and staff.
For the next 45 days
The loan closet is not accepting used medical equipment at this time based on sanitizing issues that could be harmful for volunteers and staff. Until this virus threat is under control, we will only be able to give out items that have already been sanitized.
The van program staff and volunteers will routinely sanitize the vans being utilized and each rider will be cautioned to maintain sanitary precautions. We have cancelled all the trips that have large group socializations. Instead we will continue those that are smaller or mainly utilitarian. (Grocery shopping trips will continue)
The mobile meals drivers continue to use hand sanitizing materials/solutions between each of the meal deliveries and monitor if any of the Neighbors are sick. Neighbors are asked to call in if they are sick. Volunteers as always have known not to volunteer if sick but we are stressing this saying just call in if you don’t feel well. We are in constant contact with the hospital café (our vendor) to make sure of any special safety precautions.
We are accepting minimal requests for services such as friendly visiting, respite care, friendly pet visiting, computer work, and handyman. Based on safety issues, the services are provided on a VERY limited basis.
The medical transportation program is requesting Neighbors only use our transportation services on a limited basis for those extremely necessary appointments. We are hoping that people can reschedule some of their annual exams and can instead touch base with their physician’s office by phone.
Nancy will not be doing home visits for new neighborsrequesting services unless they fall into particular categories which she and I have developed. This will keep her healthy as well as monitor those needing services. Some of these folks will be put on a waiting list based on their situations. Additionally, new volunteers will cautiously be trained and utilized based on their circumstances. We can use volunteers who might like to volunteer to call homebound neighbors for the next 45 days.
We also are asking four questions of the folks who are both serving and those who are being served:
1) Do you have a fever
2) Do you have any symptoms of low respiratory systems such as cough and/or shortness of breath
3) Have you been exposed to anyone you know that has tested positive for COVID-19
4) Have you been exposed to anyone who has traveled from one of the affected areas
For your safety when coming to our offices, the two office doors that will be used to get in and out of offices will be those doors in 104 and 101 where there are automatic doors with touch buttons to open.
I hope this is helpful. I welcome comments that you might have. Our goal is to provide services that are necessary for the wellbeing of our Neighbors & community neighbors but also take into account the safety of our volunteers and staff.
Thank you for sharing this information to all those who are asking about our services. It is my hope that this threat will lessen within the next 45 days.
