Riddell said Monday that a key issue at the department, which receives a good amount of grant money to carry out its work, has been “cash low maintenance.” According to DOGAMI spokeswoman Ali Ryan Hansen, the secretary of state is reviewing whether the department adhered to inancial best practices when it came to federal funds. In the 2015-17 biennium, the department received $5,356,535 in federal funds, according to the budget request it has compiled for the upcoming biennium. Its total revenue in 2013-15 was just over $13 million. DOGAMI asked the secretary of state to audit its inancial practices in February. Hansen wrote in an email Monday that the department had initially asked the secretary of state to review the department’s past and present inancial practices and to make recommendations on any changes that the agency needed to make. But that was a “big ask,” Hansen said, so the depart- ment narrowed the scope of the audit. The FEMA audit is routine and is intended to look speciically at grant money that the agency has awarded to DOGAMI, which in the past has received FEMA money to do projects like improve its mapping of lood hazards, according to its website. Hansen said DOGAMI’s current FEMA-funded projects were reviewed this summer, but the audit report is yet to be completed and published. 2 0-2, Low 3-5, Moderate 6-7, High; 8-10, Very High; 11+, Extreme Northern California: Partly sunny at the coast today; mostly sunny elsewhere.

The department, which has recently confronted inancial challenges, is being audited by two enti- ties: the Oregon Secretary of State and the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA). While both remain incomplete, neither audit has yet raised red lags, CFO Kim Riddell said at a meeting of the department’s governing board Monday. She also told the board that the department is looking “very strong” inancially. The department is responsible for mapping and assessing geologic risks and regulating mining and other resource exploration. Earlier this month, depart- ment oficials published an inventory of mineral resources in Southern and Eastern Oregon at the behest of the Oregon Legis- lature. In 2015, the agency, often referred to by its acronym, DOGAMI, underwent a inancial review with help from accounting employees at other state agencies. The review found that the department faced a budget shortfall, and in May of that year the Legislature approved moving $800,000 from the state’s general fund to maintain the depart- ment’s operations through Lo 46 39 42 49 36 48 42 42 51 55 39 45 44 47 46 47 50 48 48 47 39 44 51 42 45 54 44 (in mph) Shown is today’s weather.

(AP) — Assaults on his parents and inappropriate sexual behavior at school led judges to order mental health treatment for the young man charged with killing ive people at a Washington state department store. Court records detail a series of criminal charges and attempts to rehabilitate 20-year-old Arcan Cetin, who was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, attention deicit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety disorder and depression. A court irst ordered Cetin into treatment after he attacked his mother two years ago. The documents say he was following a program designed to erase that assault charge when he made unwelcome sexual advances toward two girls in his math class in 2015 and then punched his stepfather soon afterward. As recently as Sept. 6, he attended a counseling session. Oregon SAT scores drop in math sections, writing PORTLAND (AP) — SAT scores from across the state suggest Oregon students are leaving high school less prepared in math and writing. The Oregonian/ OregonLive reports that College Board oficials said Oregon students scored lower on average in both math and reading sections, with average scores of 515 and 495, respectively. Those scores relect and three and four point drop on average compared to 2015. The average reading score did not change in 2016. Results of the new SAT have not yet been made public. The average scores for the class of 2016, and the scores for the class of 2015 to which they were compared, only include scores for students who took the SAT by January of their senior year. State’s top cops call for new approach to drug policy SALEM (AP) — Two associations of law enforcement leaders in Oregon are recommending that possession of small amounts of drugs be downgraded to misdemeanors, saying that locking up users ruins lives. The Oregon State Sheriffs’ Association and Oregon Association Chiefs of Police said they are committed to work with Gov. Kate Brown, lawmakers and prosecutors “to craft a more thoughtful approach to drug possession when it is the only crime committed.” The American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon said it applauds the stance supporting a new approach to drug policy. The law enforcement associations said most drug possession cases result in felony convictions and that instead, convicted users should be given individualized, mandated treatment. The sheriffs’ and police chiefs’ associations said limited criminal justice resources should be focused on addressing violent crime and property crime.

The Oregonian/ OregonLive reports that the Oregon Cannabis Association last week asked the joint committee that oversees marijuana rules for extra time to meet regulations about how cannabis is tested, packaged and labeled. Oregon Cannabis Association attorney Amy Margolis says many businesses aren’t ready to comply and can’t afford to shut down while they get everything in order. Lawmakers on the committee seemed receptive to the extension, with Sen. Floyd Prozanski, D-Eugene, suggesting a 90-day extension. Lab owners who have spent thousands of dollars in preparation are pushing back against the delay. Route work pays for my children’s activities.
