Mokrohisky Minutes: February 2026

Hello, Lane County employees.After a winter hiatus, we are back with new episodes of Mokrohisky Minutes. This month, Assistant County Administrator Greg Rikhoff and I had a chance to talk about some of the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead in 2026. We covered funding, the effect of changes to federal programs, efforts to fund public safety, progress on our behavioral health stabilization center, and the work to update our Lane Events Center Master Plan. We are also launching this series as a podcast for employees! Last year, we received feedback that a video isn’t a great format for people who work in the field. Here are links to several of the programs or initiatives Greg and I talked about in this episode:·       Community Justice and Rehabilitation Services Department·       Deflection Program Dashboard·       Budget Kickoff Presentation·       Budget Kickoff Recording·       Public Safety Funding Task Force Report·       Stabilization Center Webpage·       LEC Master Plan Webpage
