Good Morning it’s Saturday August 7th,, and this is The Wenatchee World’s newest podcast, Slices of Wenatchee. We’re excited to bring you a closer look at one of our top stories and other announcements every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.    Today - The city of East Wenatchee is in good financial shape, according to its latest financial report. According to the presentation to the City Council earlier this week, the city’s cash balances for all funds at the end of June were at $11.2 million.   Before we jump in, we’re excited to let you know that Wenatchee Wine &amp; Food Fest is back this year on August 28th at the Town Toyota Center! Ticket holders will get a chance to sample small pours of amazing local wines, local ciders and beers… and of course, enjoy tasty bites from area restaurants and caterers.   Make sure to get tickets in advance! We’ll see you there!   Now our feature story...   The city of East Wenatchee is in good financial shape, according to its latest financial report.   The report, which compares revenue and expenditures from June 2021 to June 2020, paints a positive picture of the city’s finances.   East Wenatchee Finance Director Josh DeLay said that they’re in a great financial position. It’ll allow Wenatchee to continue to upgrade and modernize city infrastructure.    DeLay noted that people can expect to see increases in expenditures in the next few years for these upgrades, but these are all planned and that’s the reason why cities build up their fund balances.   During a presentation of the financial report to the City Council on Tuesday night, DeLay said the city’s cash balances for all funds at the end of June were at $11.2 million.   He explained that he doesn't think the city has ever been over $10 million.    A lot of that increase is thanks to $1.5 million in federal American Rescue Plan funds, but tax revenues have also contributed.   So in all, DeLay had a positive outlook on tax revenues during his City Council presentation.   He said sales tax is up 24.1% from last year, which is incredible. The numbers are just rolling in.   Gambling taxes are also up - 104% from last year.    Revenue from operating funds is up 59% compared to June 2020 and non-operation funds increased by 38%.    The revenue increase is more than just recovery from the pandemic. Operating funds revenue in June 2020 also increased from the previous year. Non-operating funds revenue did too - it rose by a whopping 722.42%.   DeLay said the increases are a combination of what appears to be a recovery from the pandemic, federal dollars received for the American Rescue Plan and a limited tax general obligation bond the city took out for capital purchases and improvements.   To read more on this story visit us at wenatcheeworld.com   Also,    Local artist Dan McConnell will have an exhibit displayed in the Pybus Market Board Room through August. So check it out!   The show, which is called Images in Grids, pulls together a variety of topics, dating back to watercolor paintings that McConnell painted in the 1970s. The show’s name references McConnell’s process when he was fresh out of college and would paint with watercolors and draw using an underlayment of gridded pencil drawings. Several of the pieces of art in the exhibit were created with this method.   Among the art pieces on display are Giclee prints, graphic novel page prints and original watercolors as well as original graphic novel pages.   McConnell will also have several bowls that depict presidents as caricatures.   The show will be open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays, and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sundays.   Before we continue, a special thanks to our friends and sponsors at Confluence Health. The team at Confluence Health is grateful for the trust the community puts in them every single day. They are diligently working to improve the health and quality of life for our friends and neighbors. They are Grateful | They are Confluence Health.  Learn more by visiting them at ConfluenceHealth.com   Next,    Over 36,000 patients with Premera Blue Cross health insurance will be considered out-of-network with Confluence Health in February of 2022… that is unless the two sides settle a price dispute before then.   Confluence Health began negotiations back in April by informing Premera that they would not renew their contract. Why? Because of disagreements about Premera’s pay rate.   Dr. Peter Rutherford, Confluence Health CEO explained that Health insurance contracts typically last between two to three years. And after months of negotiations, there was no real progress.   But David Condon, Premera vice president of Eastern Washington, doesn’t believe that negotiations are at an impasse.   He said that they still have quite a ways on the runway, and they really do believe that they can come to an agreement. They want Confluence to come back to the table - it’s in the best interest of members and for the community.   Still, Confluence Health says the issue is that Premera refuses to a pay rate consistent with other commercial insurance payers in the market.   For now, Confluence Health is not allowed to discuss any details of the contract, but Premera is the outlier among the many commercial insurers Confluence Health works with.   What we do know is that in 2020, Premera paid Confluence Health $167 million in claims, up from $160 million in 2019. The increase is attributed to rising hospital costs.   And if Confluence Health does not renew the contract, more than 36,000 patients across North Central Washington will be “out-of-network” which could mean higher deductibles and other fees for patients.   These Premera-affiliated health insurance providers will also be “out-of-network” or affected in some way starting in February of 2022…. LifeWise, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Regence Blue Shield, and Uniform Medical Plan.   Read our full story on this at wenatcheeworld.com   Now, some history…   Did you know the three lakes golf course was proposed in 1951? The course went through a number of fundraising efforts to put together the money needed to hit the links including a land donation from Harold Weed, a non-profit stock offering for $25,000, and a charity tournament with Bing Crosby and US amateur champion, Jack Westland. Originally only 9 holes and relying on volunteer labor, the early players had to go around twice to complete a full round.   Thanks for listening.
