The Oregon Department of Justice has received two separate complaints alleging the board of directors is negligent in its oversight of ORCCA (Oregon Coast Community Action). 
According to one source that prefers to remain anonymous, the board has already been cautioned by the department for not providing adequate oversight after receiving complaints last year against the previous executive director.
Both complaints point to the inexperience of the recently hired executive director, Mike Lehman, along with numerous ethical concerns as contributing factors in the agency’s current budget deficits. Lehman may have inherited the current deficit of $172K but a projected deficit of $177K for fiscal year 2013/14 is all his and the DOJ has reportedly charged the board with providing a plan for rectifying the shortfall. It is also reported that Lehman is considering selling off agency assets including the Park West Apartments, a low income housing complex owned by the agency, but this would be a short term fix not a long term strategy.
Other complaints have been forwarded to affected sponsoring agencies. Oregon Housing and Community Services has been advised that LIHEAP funds are possibly being used to pay Food Bank salaries, a direct violation of funding guidelines. The regional Head Start office has been alerted to possible misallocation of dedicated funds.
Members of the board are accused of having breached whistle blower confidentiality agreements when they released the names of whistle blowers to the new executive director. If true, members may be individually subject to civil litigation. According to Doug Pearson, investigator for the justice department’s charities division, a board of directors can be held individually liable for damages arising from mismanagement as a result of gross negligence.
record of board meeting are available to the public just ask to see them,,, you will see not everything is not what you believe.. not ALL board members agree on everything.. some stand alone.. ORCCA website lists all the board members
If I were on the board and unable to push the board to better oversight I would resign. Better get out while the getting is good
Throwing words like ‘libel’ around like you do could bite you in the ass Danny Stoddard. But perhaps that’s not a bad thing in your twisted sorry world.
Time to ignore the troll anyway.
LMAO. @MGX – about that libel?
“no facts, no logic, no common sense. spin, insults, stupidity.
sad.”
Sounds like your describing yourself Danny. Instead of making up insults, why don’t you stick to the truth. Oh here’s one – when you joined St. Monica’s, they couldn’t run out the doors fast enough. But then you screwed up the books and had to leave.
And there’s the one about how you love to beat up women – literally and figuratively. Heard it cost you your job Danny!
And then there is the young gals you bully at Maslow; ring a bell.
You are an insignificant little man. Can’t stand to be upstaged by women, can you Danny. Time for you to go away. You are a bore!
See you in Toledo, Kay!
“I can afford better, longer, and stronger attorneys” says Danny Stoddard. Some say indeed you can, you little beatch. YOU posted every bit of the info you now rail against. YOU, Danny Stoddard said you were paid $170,000 not M, sashaying sweet lips. I do hope your meanness ends up in court, and I wouldn’t wish that on my worse enemy, but you Danny Stoddard deserve it. You destroyed careers, and YOU tell us you were paid for the act, and you think you don’t pay for doing that to people? There’s a stronger power than your Invisible Friend In The Clouds who you hit your knees to ask forgiveness from, Danny. Karma doesn’t forget, and you will have a karmic price to pay for what you’ve already done. And she is a REAL bitch, not a fake one. I don’t have to wish you harm, you did it all by yourself. Watch and see. Take your twisted panties somewhere else Danny, the people here are able to think for themselves.
Ta Ta.
re: libel – pot, kettle, black
the owner of this sites mentions libel when the only thing that brought me to this site was word that she endorsed discussions of my providing oral pleasure to the civic leaders of our community, that I absconded with 170K from a non-profit organization, that I am somehow closely bonded with Mike Lehman, that I have been rewarded for my plan to accomplish and the success of destroying the previous leadership of ORCCA.
yep, now she wants to bring up libel because I mention someone didn’t have the qualifications for the job she was given and then failed at. LOL.
Libel? really? let’s take this to court! I have a very very very very very very strong feeling I can afford better, longer, and stronger attorneys than you can – let’s go, GURL.
Danny Stoddard thinks he has “cover.” He’s nothing but a tool, like another poster already said, “he blows” those running things in Coos County, and thinks they will protect him. My opinion only. Or perhaps he really is just a twisted human being, with more problems than his big mouth.
May Karma be your bitch now Danny Stoddard. I hope with all my heart you get the Bitch Slaps you so sorely need. Karma never forgets Danny Boy. Never.
Shame on you, and shame on that church that gives you cover for your sins. It ain’t nice to hate Danny. And you are full of it. May Gawd bless your twisted soul, but I think she will slap the shit out of you first. Hold on Sweetie, it’s going to be a bumpy ride. My opinion only.
I wonder where your detective skills were before? Do you know Pattie was just someone Mary found at a cocktail party and liked, gave her the job though she had no qualifications? Mary herself destroyed Mid-America Housing in Iowa, along with Rollie. If there is current dysfunction and if the DOJ is here to investigate, it is not because any new leaders have come in and are tearing the organization apart, it is because they have inherited a MESS… perhaps they should have cleaned house altogether when they took over. How about we ask our County Commissioners to take back this function from the private sector and have the county take back this responsibility. (Oh, I bet you didn’t realize Orcca only exists and is empowered because the County choose to not provide this function themselves)…..
Libel is an actionable offense, danny. If you want to spew gossip and lies and spread misinformation make good on your promise and start your own blog. My readers deserve better and if you persist with statements I know to be false I will have to block you.

People listen Danny boy was put up to causing a distraction here by Lehman. He is not important as the issue is the unethical, hostile behavior by Mike Lehman to employees that are not his yes people, the unprofessional, lying, manipulation by Carol Douglas Human Resources, the total dysfunction of the ORCCA board for allowing Lehman to lead them around by the nose, the hiring of Deborah Ross by Mike Lehman who has no experience for the position she is in, grant writing has come to a halt, the cruel yelling and bulling by John Misterly who has no education for the acting essential services director position, but he is Mikes yes person and I have no double will drop to his knees with the snap of Lehman’s fingers, Misterly has promoted Jennifer Spatz to the housing director position and this person is currently on 20 years probation for identify theft and as the director does have direct influence as to who or who will not receive housing assistance. The ORCCA board apparently has no problem with this. What about all the public who has been denied housing help, but she has made sure ORCCA has supported her son and herself. Lets not forget about Laura Schmitd the now South Coast Food Share director of operations, that is pretty amazing since she only knows how to drive truck and by giving Misterly that special treatment gained her a promotion and double raise. She must have really impressed Misterly.
so now I’m an evil mastermind after all? LOL. this is fun. glad I came over to play with y’all. Though, it’s not very fair, I should say… I should have more humility.
YOU Danny Stoddard took down the management, and you were so damned proud of yourself, and evidently you were the first in line to be rewarded with $170,000.00? You must be one proud little bitch. I have your words about females Danny, let’s not kid one another, you had an agenda, and you profited, by your words only, greatly. I have had NO idea what you got paid from Lehman, was it $170,000?
Whiney ass punk. My opinion only.
No facts Danny Stoddard? I think YOU are about to find some facts intruding in your twisted world.
classy people. no facts, no logic, no common sense. spin, insults, stupidity.
sad.
Mary how about changing my last post. and use my screen name, thanks
Brilliant, thank you ! Light-headedness can come from many sources, so I hear.
LOL. Why won’t wind turbines work here ? Danny’s too busy blowing the good ol boys. LOL
interesting, wonder who you are referring to here…. I’ve never needed The World, etc. If choose to, I can just create my own platform to deliver my message. Get ready. #thunderpotwasnothingcomparedtowhatiscoming
Danny, confused you certainly must be as the accusations are the absolute truth and if you had perhaps read the numerous other articles of fact written here by Mgx you would know that. Documents don’t lie, no spin pure fact. Queen Mary (as you so fondly like to refer to her as) was hired by the ORCCA board and it was their responsibility to insure the sound operations of ORCCA, they did not. Mary deserves credit for bring ORCCA from a roughly $6 million dollar agency to a $10 million dollar agency. Danny you made your vendetta against Mary personal and you attacked her not the wrong doing of the ORCCA Board or their inconsistence for making any concrete decisions. Any non profit is governed by a board and responsibility for a good or bad agency rests with them, not the CEO. You had no documents, no facts, no truth, only YOU did not like Mary, why because your friend at the World didn’t like her or what your friend at CASA didn’t like Mary. Let’s put to rest your comment of being a mastermind to overthrow ORCCA as you were not then or even now a mastermind. No unhappiness here this is pure fun. Ta Ta as you are not worth responding to anylong.
I would ignore danny, his gossip bitch is no longer with the paper and so he has no bullhorn anymore
all you have Kay are accusations and conspiracy theories. How about some facts. speaking of spin, that’s all MGX is doing – when Queen Mary was on the throne everything was spun in support of ORCCA and the board. Now that Queen Mary has been sent to her dungeons (www.schoenclark.com – lol) everything immediately changes to undermining ORCCA. At least be honest. MGX is as bad as Fox News at this point. As for the hole I crawled out of, it’s called living life. I forget you people and this “blog” even exist. I only came to it yesterday after seeing a headline in the Coquille Window (or whatever its called) while down having a beer in south county yesterday. What a fun discovery: my name all over the comments as some kind of evil mastermind to overthrow ORCCA and get paid off $170k? I guess that’s how I afford my luxurious lifestyle. Speaking of which, I’m late for my evening martini at Benetti’s. Ta Ta For Now. Have fun with your conspiracy theories and unhappiness. Oh, and go ahead and put your houses on the markets because LNG is here! No windmill scams for Coos County, all liquid natural gas for us!!!!
talk about dumb people. The only dumb person on this blog is Danny. You would not know the truth if it hit you in the face. You know what I mean when I say you can’t get enough on those good ole boys Danny and trying to please them. You know nothing of Queen Mary as you wish to refer to her as or Pattie Gouveia (danny you must have a problem with spelling)as the ORCCA Board was directly responsible for the position ORCCA found itself in then and now. Talk about spin that is all you know how to do. You have no fact, you spin fiction. Oh ya you know Lehman it makes sense now he has no fact and continues to spin fiction also. Shut up and crawl back into the hole you came out of.
So, little danny finally rears his ugly little head and spews the same crap he always has…all women are stupid and only danny knows the truth. Spew all you want. ORCCA employees know the truth and you can’t spin it for your buddy lehman.
As a matter of fact, word on the inside is that Douglas has reared her ugly little head again. Got rid of the finance director – first on her list since she is the one who wrote Douglas up! And who’s next – watch out Cintia, Carrie, Chris and Ben; we all know she’s gunnin for you all! And where is Lehman during all this – most likely has his head stuck up Danny boys arse!
hello dumb people on this blog – this MESS was created by Queen Mary and the evil Shpattie Gouviet. ridiculous to spin this any other way. MGX – you should be ashamed. You’re a ridiculous fraud.
After unbiased editor Walworth was recorded singing praise to the LNG gods (off key); after his hatchet job on ORCCA management; after helping his pals the CCAP; and doing so much more that helped reduce circulation of the daily garbage can liner; where did he land? Isn’t it time that we taxpayers, through our elected airport or unelected port board employ Walworth in one of those high paying and not required appointee positions?
Thank you Coosbayb, my thoughts exactly.Don’t forget Lehman gave his first bouquet of dollars to Danny Stoddard and HIS own enterprise. These two ‘boys'(Stoddard and DB something) took down the leadership of ORCCA, relentlessly for months. And The World was right there. Is there anything that can be done for their co-operation in all this? Is there any legal, fiduciary responsibility of a print paper allowing such a public take-down and loss of careers that went with it? This wasn’t below the radar, the World was complicit and proud to participate in something I’ve never seen before.In my humble opinion, this would not be occuring without Clark’s help. Period. I think Danny Stoddard holds as much responsibility as the current board of ORCCA.How many sheckels did Lehman throw at you Stoddard? How many pieces of gold were you paid in appreciation? An accounting will show what you received, as Lehman said,”I’ve told Danny he will have whatever he needs”, of course he will, let’s all wait to find out exactly what number that was. Shameful and shame to all of you participating in it. Who is this “Goebbles-eske” assistant of Lehman’s anyway?
It’s pretty obvious that the world bought into a personal vendetta against the previous CEO. Interesting that the former ‘concerned’ employees and Danny Stoddard are silent now because the worlds coverage was not about ORCCA but getting rid of the previous CEO. Now you have the same situation; only worse! This clown admits he doesn’t know what he’s doing – but don’t be alarmed – he’s learning! And all the board cares about is that he is in bed with the world, so we can be sure that they won’t cover it. The board hired someone with no experience and turned their backs on the whistleblowers that helped them when they needed it. Sounds like nothing is being done to protect them! And what is Lehman’s and the boards concern now? Not the fiscal health and mismanagement of the agency; no,they are concerned with pr. Can’t let the public know what is going on! Have these people done anything? Is Douglas still there polishing her own personnel file and sabotaging everyone elses.
Perhaps we will soon see this in the daily garbage can liner.
Look for the Register Guard to cover it before The World
