Fri, 05/01/2020 - 12:40pm | Autumn Labbe-Renault

KDRT-fb-COVID-19-Garamendi-May-1st-2020 (2).jpg

Today, May 1st, we're pleased to welcome Congressman John Garamendi back to the show. We last spoke with him on April 3, as Congress was passing its first stimulus bill. On April 21, Congressman Garamendi introduced legislation called the UNITE Act (Undertaking National Initiatives to Tackle Epidemics). This bill would mobilize experienced existing organizations such as AmeriCorps, Peace Corps, and FEMA volunteers to support public health responders with COVID-19 contact tracing and testing.

COVID-19 Community Report Episode 13: Discussing Current Challenges with Yolo Healthy Aging Alliance and Cool Davis - Apr 28th, 2020

Tue, 04/28/2020 - 12:40pm | Autumn Labbe-Renault

KDRT-fb-COVID-19-Yolo-Healthy-Aging-Cool-Davis (2).jpg

Episode 13 features two rock stars of the local nonprofit scene: Sheila Allen of Yolo Healthy Aging Alliance, and Chris Granger of Cool Davis. What challenges is each organization and its constituent population facing? How are they meeting those challenges now, and how will those challenges change as we begin to plan for an uncertain future?

One of the new programs launched this month by Yolo Healthy Aging Alliance is Phone Friends for Seniors. They match seniors who would like to receive check-in phone calls with volunteers who can also assist with linking to services such as food/meal and prescription medication deliveries, and provide an important chance for social contact. Over the past 10 years, their network of organizations and service providers for local seniors has grown to 97!

Davisville, April 27, 2020: A veteran of muni finance sizes up the pandemic-sized hole facing Davis City Hall

Mon, 04/27/2020 - 8:28pm | Bill Buchanan

City of Davis.jpg

We’ve entered a recession, and don't know yet how bad it will be. To get some perspective, I talk today with Bob Leland, an expert on municipal finance with the Management Partners consulting firm who began his career in the 1970s. He compares the current downturn to the Great Recession 12 years ago, lists some possible responses, and estimates the size of the revenue loss facing Davis – “it’ll probably be about a 6 to 8 percent loss for the year that will be ending June 30,” with the financial damage concentrated in the last few months.

Read that carefully—the plunge since March has been steep enough to take the results for the entire fiscal year down by 6 percent or more.

COVID-19 Community Report Episode 12: Speaking with the Davis Downtown Business Assn. and Sandy Holman of The Culture CO-OP on Apr 24th, 2020

KDRT-fb-COVID-19-Downtown-and-Holman-4-24 (2).jpg

My guests on today's show are Brett Marasca, executive director of Davis Downtown; and Sandy Holman of The Culture CO-OP, discussing their new documentary, "The Cost of Darkness." We'll be talking about economic stimulus for downtown businesses, and the systemic structural inequality that has left communities of color much more vulnerable to the virus, respectively.

Called the Gifting Stimulus Program, the Davis Downtown Business Association (DDBA) recently launched this program to infuse $100,000 into our city's core - its downtown. Using this link, you can choose businesses you'd like to support and your gift card purchase amount will be matched by the DDBA gifting program.

KDRT-fb-COVID-19-Yolo-Co-Housing-Empower-Yolo.jpg

We've been shining a light this week on the ways our region is helping some of the most vulnerable of our residents. On Tuesday 4/14 we talked about food insecurity and mental health. Today we’re talking about public housing, and domestic violence. Not light topics, but still extremely important to address right now. While sheltering in place is hard on everyone, there are some situations it disproportionately exacerbates. My guests on Friday's show are Lisa Baker, CEO of Yolo County Housing, and Bridgette Guerra, Legal Advocate at Empower Yolo.

Davisville, April 13, 2020: Davis stores and restaurants cope with the pandemic

Mon, 04/13/2020 - 6:10pm | Bill Buchanan

temporarily closed 041120.jpg

Today I talk with Davis Enterprise retail business columnist Wendy Weitzel about how local restaurants and retailers are coping with the COVID-19 pandemic. We discuss stories of struggle, creativity, and most of all uncertainty, plus thoughts about how retail might change even after the stay-at-home public health orders are lifted. She has written her Comings & Goings column for nearly 20 years and normally posts a new column every other week, but is writing weekly during the pandemic.
