Hello,
The City Manager job posting is no longer posted. We'll be hearing about applicants soon...I hope. The problem we have with getting city managers is this; younger people who might be interested, are not going to stay long in our lovely town cause the bright lights and the big cities and a career move beckon. And older people who might be interested are kind of looking for a place to cruise for a couple of years before retiring. It is a dilemma.
Bisbee is a very difficult place to administer. Among the many problems facing a new manager.... we have an 100+ year old infrastructure that demands almost constant attention, a tax base that has shrunk about 1500 people during the past two decades to the current 5000, and a budget that is about $8,000,000 for problems that probably need a budget of $12,000,000 or more. Our economy is based on Tourism, but there is no comprehensive plan to grow visitation in a way that doesn't impeded the quality of life for residents.There is only 30% of our population under 40, but 46% over the age of 60. Of the people 18 and under 12% live in poverty, and 14% of people over 65 are in poverty. There are more challenges that could be listed.
In short, we are an aging city, not well off, with a single focus economy, and an unhealthy rate of poverty. I don't mean to say Bisbee does not have many features in its' favor, it does and these are touted regularly. But for someone coming here fresh, it is a challenge.
Apropos of this, lately I've been thinking that maybe we should promote a city manger from within our ranks, even though he or she might not have the education requirements nor the experience of 'running' a city. Someone familiar with the personnel, the problems, and the strengths of our city. If they didn't have the experience, they could contract for expertise. My choice for a new city manager would be Ashley Coronado.
I made a couple errors in the last issue. I said that there were term limits on the Mayor. I was wrong! There are no term limits on any of the city elected offices. My apologies to Ken Budge for saying he couldn't run. He can and I hope he does.
I mentioned that Sivonn's garden and cuisine truck at the Saturday Market served Vietnamese food. Sivonn is Cambodian with Chinese ancestors and her food reflects both those and other Asian cultures. And a date was out of date on the BRATS website....the not-to-be-missed BRATS event is October 28.

...............BISBEE ECONOMY................
The owner of Turquoise Valley Golf Course, Joe Lewis, has announced plans for a music pavilion and remodeled bar and restaurant on the now defunct golf course. The special use permit necessary for the project will be on the agenda at the county planning and zoning meeting March 8. For questions about the project contact Lewis at 602 740-3916 or joseoh@bisbee.us.
In addition to the TV property, Lewis is the owner of a couple of airb&bs, the Bisbee Social Club, and the Old High School. His company is Sunny Tempe Investments, LLC
And speaking of the Old High School, Lewis's began gutting the building a couple of years ago to build apartments. However the proposed outdoor lighting scheme was refused by the City Council because it far exceeded the limits of the code. Bisbee is a Dark Skies Community and there are limitations of how bright lighting can be. Back to the drawing board for them. (That Bisbee is a Dark Sky city is due to the tenacious efforts of Bruce Syrett who, over several years, successfully persevered in preserving the dark skies of Bisbee from light pollution.A big thanks to Bruce!)

BUILDING PERMITS
The 46 residential permits totaled $572,483 in the month of August. The remodel/upgrade market continues strong. However, after the $1.8 million permit last month for the new dollar general store, the month of August had an anemic $56,500 worth of building permits.

SALES TAXES (Report in September, actual sales in July)
Although I report monthly sales, it is better to look at quarterly results or at least the past two months. That is because sometimes businesses are late getting their reports in (they are due to ADOR, by the 20th of the month following actual sales.), sometimes purchases span the last day/first day of the months and that screws up monthly reporting. I'll talk next issue about the quarter report.
Comparing August 2023 with the same period of 2022, sales tax is down substantially. Bed tax $18,341/$31,733; restaurant & bar $37,382/$51,743; Retail $100,853/$110,856; food for home consumption (groceries) $46,298/$42,712.This reflects anecdotal evidence of some businesses saying it is a not so good late Spring/early Summer.

The Cochise County Elections website has a new addition, “Know Who to Call,” found here: https://www.cochise.az.gov/292/Elections Scroll way down the page to find an outline of the separate duties of the Elections Department and the Recorder’s Office.
The Elections Dept., located in Bldg. E at 1415 Melody Lane, (520-432-8970), accepts candidate/petition filings; records campaign finance reports; designs ballots; contracts/inspects Elections Day voting sites; and hires election workers. That office also conducts poll worker training; schedules curbside voting; facilitates Election Day voting; provides alternative ballots (e.g., large print); tabulates ballots; posts election results; and stores ballots until elections certification.
The Recorder’s office, located in Bldg. B (520-432-8350) registers voters; maintains and updates the voter list; validates petition signatures; mails early ballots; manages mail-in ballot drop-off locations; and verifies mail-in ballot signatures. It also handles all early in-person voting, emergency voting, and uniformed & overseas voting. Although the Recorder is an elected position, all employees in both offices (Elections & Recorder’s) are expected to conduct business in a nonpartisan manner.

KROGER/ALBERTSONS SELL STORES IN 17 STATES
Striving to keep their merger hopes alive, Kroger (Frys) and Albertsons (Safeway) have sold a combined 413 stores in 17 states. The divestiture may include another 267 stores. The sell off is a bid to allay fears of the Federal Trade Commission's potential antitrust problems with the merger. Shares of Kroger rose 6% after the announcement.
In Arizona, 24 Albertsons or Safeway stores will be sold, although store locations have not been announced.
Last year Kroger announced a proposed $25 billion takeover of supermarket rival Albertsons, a deal that would be one of the largest retail mergers in history. Until now, the deal would have given Kroger nearly 5,000 stores and 700,000 workers before divestitures. After selling stores it would give Kroger around 4,600 stores with a lower, but unspecified worker headcount.
C&S, the buyer, is a mostly wholesale operator that supplies 7500 independent stores and owns the Grand Union and Piggly Wiggle stores.
The AZ AG has been on a listening tour around the state and will likely come out against the merger as being harmful to AZ residents.

The Google anti-trust trial has begun. It is exploring why Google has a 90% lock on the 'search' market. According to BIG "Why does Google have this monopoly? Google argues it’s because it’s a great search engine, the government argues it’s because Google pays everyone who preloads search to block rivals from access to the market.

THINK AGAIN ABOUT THOSE 'SALES' BEING OFFERED
Consumers Checkbook followed 25 major retailers to see how often their 'sales' were not really different from their regular prices. Amazon, Dicks,Foot Locker, Banana Republic, Gap, Nordstrom, Old Navy, Wayfair, and Williams Sonoma, were found to be usually misleading. Several other big retailers were often misleading.

AMAZON TAKES A BIG CUT
Amazon now takes 45% of sales of all third party vendors, according to the Institute of Self Reliance. "In effect, Amazon controls a monopoly tollbooth that sits between businesses and the online market. Over the last few years, it has sharply raised the price of passing through it. In the first half of 2023, using a variety of fees, Amazon took 45 percent of sellers’ revenue in the U.S. That’s up from 35 percent in 2020, and 19 percent in 2014. These exorbitant fees make it nearly impossible for small businesses and other sellers to sustain a viable business online. That is why they are being sued.

RENTAL CAR HACK from autoslash
Autoslash can save you money if you book a car through them. I have save about $700 over the years by booking through them. One of the things they advocate is becoming a member of the auto rental companies. You will get preference in rentals. "The next time you book a trip, try this clever car rental tip. We call it the half-hour hack. Instead of automatically booking your pickup time to be on the hour — say, 9 a.m. or 1 p.m. or 6 p.m. — ask for a second quote for the half hour before or after your original time — as in 9:30 a.m. or 1:30 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. So the next time you need a rental car, ask us for two quotes — one on the hour and one on the half hour. It won’t cost you a dime to put in the extra quote request and you might just save a bundle." Hotelslash is by the same company.Works the same, only for hotels. I have not used them yet, but will.
