2 ARIZONA DAILY SUN, Flagstaff, Arizona, Sunday, June 4, 1995 Group still in infancy helps city babies By KELI MAURER Sun Staff Reporter For women who fear the high cost of having a baby, a new organization is bringing relief. A Flagstaff couple has started a not-for-profit organization that offers early and continuous prenatal care to women at reduced rates. Baby Flagstaff is available to women regardless of their ability to pay for care. The group will help pregnant women apply for AHC-CCS coverage, the states medical program for the poor, in Baby Flagstaff offices. For women who do not qualify for AHCCCS, Baby Flagstaff is designed to set up payment plans each individual can manage.

Its an attempt to create a comprehensive obstetrical program for the poor and the working poor, said Don Sterman, Baby Flagstaff president. Its for those who a pregnancy would really hurt or those who would have to change their standard of living. Don and Susan Sterman began Baby Flagstaff with the idea that if women are properly taken care of in the early stages of their pregnancy. Were trying to encourage women to come in as soon as pos-i sible, said Susan Sterman, a prac-J tice administrator in Vigils office and Baby Flagstaff People need dignity and grace to run their own lives and make their! own decisions. Futients who arent able to make; medical payments but dont qualify for AHCCCS also will be in the project.

Susan Sterman said by offering a professional office consultation and; appointment. Baby Flagstaff will get' away from the clinic atmosphere Place has agreed to provide medical services for the women. The Ster-mans said one unique characteristic of the program is initial AHCCCS eligibility determination for each prdient is made during the first visit. The Coconino County Medical Assistance Office will staff Vigils office during their own regular office hours to take care of the paperwork. The Stermans said they hope taking care of the paperwork in the doctors office will encourage early prenatal care, eliminate missed appointments and ease intimidating medical bills and paperwork.

it will save taxpayers money. The program has 10 patients so far. Failure to get prenatal care in the long run is more expensive, Don said. In addition, the program should be a relief for doctors because it will enable them to see pregnant patients early on, perhaps before a problem arises. The two have teamed up with project sponsors A Womans Place, Coconino County Medical Assistance Office and Northland Family Help Center.

Police Log Fire Log Willies summer agenda is packed Dad Sons, Inc Lets pretend youve been thinking about running for the city council next year. The primary election will be held Tuesday, Feb. 6, 19, and the general election will follow on Tuesday, March 5, 19. The mayor and three council-members face re-election. You dont necessarily have a bone to pick with them or the job theyve been doing, but gosh dam it, you cant do any worse, right? Right.

So, what do you do? On Nov. 13, 1995, the Office of the City Clerk will have available for you nominating petitions, campaign finance requirements and a financial disclosure statement. There will also be provided a pamphlet that will assist you in meeting all of the legal requirements for running for public office. The number of signatures required to appear on a nominating petition is based on a percentage of the votes tallied during the previous general election. Expect to collect 400 to 800 signatures.

Only registered voters from within the city limits may sign your petition. Failure to comply with this requirement can sneak around and bite you on the buttocks if your petition is challenged. Campaign finance laws are concerned with the proper reporting of all funding used by you to finance your election. The reporting structure for campaign contributions is complicated and requires a meticulous attention to documenting contributions and expenditures. Common sense dictates that you ask someone to serve as your campaign manager.

This persons sole responsibility should be to assure compliance with the campaign finance laws. If that is a daunting aspect of running for public office, consider the requirement of completing a financial disclosure statement. This is a public declaration of your assets and liabilities. Once youre elected, youll be expected to complete a disclosure statement annually throughout your term. Welcome to the public arena.

Your completed nominating petitions, an affidavit of understanding pertaining to the campaign-finance laws and your completed financial disclosure statement must be submitted to the City Clerk no later than Jan. 7, 1996. Now, youre ready for the campaign. How you campaign is a matter of personal choice. An average successful campaign can cost between $5,000 and $7,000.

However, there have been successful campaigns in which no money was spent. Instead, those candidates went door to door to seek votes. Personally, I have always voted for those individuals who took the time to come to my front door. So dont let limited discretionary money prevent you from running for office. Flagstaff is still small enough for you to run a successful grassroots campaign.

On March 5, bingo, youve won a seat on the city council. What are your official obligations? The council convenes twice a month on Tuesday evenings. Work sessions arc scheduled every Monday and during the annual budgetary process, youre required to attend the daily 5 a.m. budget meetings that may take more than two weeks to complete. There are two planning retreats scheduled annually.

During your term, you arc permitted no more than three uncx-cused absences. As compensation, councilmcm-bers receive $300 a month. The mayor receives $450 a month and the use of a city vehicle. Any official travel is funded by the city. Councilmcmbcrs share an office in the administrative suite on the second floor of city hall.

The mayor has a private office. What can you do between now and November when the petitions are available? Start by attending the council meetings regularly. The council agenda appears in the paper on the Monday prior to the scheduled meeting. Copies of the agenda arc available at the meeting in a bin to the right of the door as you enter the council chambers. Read the paper to get a bead on the issues facing the city.

The public library has copies of the city budget and the city charter. Read them. Talk to councilmcmbcrs and remember that a willingness to serve is the only prerequisite.
