Chairman Prante stated that the County has committed to this program and in order to be in compliance with the State, funds must be expended prior to reimbursement.

Mr. Hablieb presented an estimate of the budget to the Board and explained the 1985/86 expenditure and reimbursement process. PAGE FOUR - MINUTES 4/23/86 VOL 72 PAGE 421 Mr. Hablieb stated that the 1985/86 budget for the support enforcement program is proposed at $103,000 which includes the addition of an Office Assistant position. Mr. Maier described the process of allocating the monies for this department, stating that it is processed from the Contingency and General Funds to the District Attorney's fund, then the support enforcement program bills the District Attorney's fund. Mr. Maier added that the support enforcement program is the District Attorney's responsibility; however, it is still a separate department. Mr Hablieb stated that the projected 1985/86 budget is down from the current budget even with the addition of a third person because the original budget initially funded the office, i.e., typewriters, equipment, etc. Mr. Hablieb stated that $27,000 was collected in 1984, prior to the initiation of the support enforcement program, and added that during the first quarter of the new program, $37,000 had been collected. Mr. Hablieb projected that collections would raise to $75,000 + throughout the remainder of the fiscal year. Mr. Hablieb presented the latest figures expended through March of 1986 and indicated that the estimated balance as of June 30, 1986 would be $23,900; therefore, carrying over to the 1986/87 fiscal year budget. Discussion revolved around the carry-over of $23,900. It was determined that there would not be a $23,900 carry-over because items such as rent and additional personnel costs have never been subtracted from the amount because the monies have not been available. Mr. Hablieb stated that this program receives 66.65% reimbursement from the State; however, approximately $3,000 in addition has been received because of incentive points the program has earned. Commissioner Maudlin raised the issue of the additional staff person in the support enforcement office and the extra help. Chairman Prante stated that the Courts had a backlog of 2,000 cases that were not accessible by the support enforcement staff; therefore, an Express Temporary was hired to bring the back log up to date and current. Mr. Maier stated that the 1986/87 support enforcement budget was based on assumption that the program would continue along the same lines as their current program. Mr. Maier requested a response on the budget from the District Attorney's office and received none; therefore, interepreted that the proposed budget PAGE FIVE - MINUTES 4/23/86 VOL %2 FA"E3 was appropriate. Mr. Maier stated that initially, it was anticipated that this program would receive between 75% to 85% back in reimbursements; however, the passage of the Gramm-Rudmann Act has reduced the amount of reimbursement to 66.65%. Commissioner Maudlin stated that set-up items had been included in the budget, which are no longer on-going; therefore, he does not feel that the budget for the up -coming fiscal year has been lowered. Chairman Prante stated that $732 has been spent from the $11,000 budgeted for paternity investigations; therefore, the remainder has been allocated to the support staff. Chairman Prante added that the reason that this budget is short of cash is that the funds were originally not allocated to front the billings. Chairman Prante stated that a transfer is necessary to finish the contract year and then to work with the Budget Committee during the budget process for the 1986/87 support enforcement program. Mr. Isham stated that a resolution will be drafted to transfer appropriations in the amount of $30,000 within the general fund to the District Attorney's Support Enforcement Program and then $30,000 will be allocated in cash from the District Attorney's budget and transferred to support enforcement to prefund the expenses for each quarter. Mr. Isham stated that the support enforcement contract is a reimbursement basis contract based on federal regulations through the State of Oregon Adult and Family Services Division. Mr. Isham added that most counties sign up for the support enforcement program because there is a threat of financial liability with the State if the federal objections are not met. Mr. Isham stated that it is his understanding that effective October 1, 1985, child support collection programs are virtually mandatory. Mr. Hablieb stated that if a County does not sign a program, the State will come in and run a program and if it costs $100,000 to run it, then the State will bill the County $100,000 and there will be no reimbursement. Commissioner Tuttle stated that he could not understand how the program was designed in such a way that the County had to front $60,000 in the first year without anyone realizing the consequences. Commissioner Tuttle stated that he feels the support enforcement program is an appropriate program within the County; however added that if $30,000 is transferred to the support program at this point, the County will have $30,000 less starting cash next year, therefore, the Budget Committee will have to find $30,000 someplace else. PAGE SIX - MINUTES 4/23/86 VOL 72 FnLF 44 Commissioner Tuttle stated that he would be willing to vote for an appropriations transfer and a cash transfer; however added that he feels that the support program should absorb some of the costs. Commissioner Maudlin stated that it was his recollection that the County was going to fund this program for $30,000 and that it was indicated that enough bonuses would be obtained to totally fund the entire program. Commissioner Tuttle concurred that there was some discussion that the County would virtually have no out of pocket expenses because of bonus situations. Chairman Prante stated that those areas will be taken up before the Budget Committee for next year's budget; however, stated that the issue at hand is the transfer of funds to carry this program out for the remainder of the year. Mr. Hablieb stated that the $30,000 is a continual roll-over and that all the County actually spends, after the initial set up, is $30,000. Mr. Hablieb stated in response to Commissioner Tuttle's request to cut-back their budget, that a reduction in personnel would cripple the program. He suggested that a possible reduction in hours the office would be open to the public would be a way to reduce their budget. MOTION: TUTTLE moved signature of Resolution No. 86-028, transferring appropriations. PRANTE: Second. Commissioner Tuttle stated that this does not indicate approval of the program for the beginning of the new year (1986-87 budget). Commissioner Tuttle stated that he will take a real hard look at the program between now and October 1, 1986, before there is any assurance that he would support the program again. Commissioner Tuttle added that he would like a detailed analysis, in narrative form, indicating the growth in cases and in personnel to handle the cases, and the criteria established to restrict the growth. Commissioner Maudlin stated that he will recommend to the Budget Committee, that an amount in half of this transfer be cut from the budget as of July 1, 1986. VOTE: UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. PAGE SEVEN - MINUTES 4/23/86 VOL 72 wHE 4._5 MOTION: TUTTLE moved signature of Order No. 86- 045, transferring cash. MAUDLIN: Second. VOTE: UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. Neil Morrison, Director of Public Works, presented a proposal to the Board for the purchsase of a scrapper for the Solid Waste Department. Mr. Morrison stated that the scraper that is presently used by the landfills is inoperable at this time and will possibly take $5,000 to get it in working order. Mr. Morrison added that the scraper is 18 years old and has had $40,000 to $60,000 worth of repairs during the last five years. Mr. Morrison stated that, after talking with Mr. Isham, the division could comfortably purchase the machine out of this current budget under operating contingency. Mr. Morrison noted the companies that were approached for purchase of the new scraper and recommended that it be purchased from Pape' Brothers in Redmond for $218,030. ($233,030 subtract $15,000 for trade-in). Commissioner Maudlin requested rental information on a scraper and what would be involved. Mr. Morrison stated that there are no rentals available. Mr. Morrison stated that Pape' Brothers indicated that they could deliver the scraper to the Solid Waste Division within 30 days. Mr. Morrison stated that the Department Solid Waste Division recommends that the to enter into a sole source contract Redmond to purchase the scraper for $218,030. Mr. Morrison stated that he that, if possible, obtain a six month towards the purchase price in the amount of Public Works and the Board give authorization with Pape' Brothers of a total cost price of would further recommend rental program accruing of $16,000 per month. Commissioner Tuttle questioned why this equipment was not placed for bid. Mr. Morrison responded by stating that he only had one qualified company to obtain the scraper from. Commissioner Tuttle stated that from the proposal Mr. Morrison presented, he noted at least two possibile bidders. Commissioner Maudlin pointed out that the Solid Waste Division is not moving any dirt at this time and that it would take at least 30 days to obtain the equipment from Pape'. Commissioner Maudlin added that the landfills have to be covered daily or it would be in violation of the DEQ's contract. PAGE EIGHT - MINUTES 4/23/86 VOL 72 FA6E 46 Commissioner Tuttle stated that he could not support the proposal because he feels large pieces of equipment need to be put out for bid. After further discussion, the Board concurred that Mr. Morrison should work with Mr. Isham to develop a bid process for the purchase of the scraper. Rick Isham, Legal Counsel, stated that Mr. Ken Hamlington has contacted Mike Sullivan of Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council in regards to leasing Lot 2 in the LaPine Industrial Site. Mr. Isham noted that Mr. Hamlington had requested permission to burn brush and debris off the site prior to initiating the contract. Mr. Isham recommended to the Board that Mr. Hamlington wait until the contract had been signed prior to removing the brush, and if at that time the burning season is in force, he could remove the brush to another lot within the site. The Board concurred with Mr. Isham's recommendation. Mr. Isham stated that he is waiting to obtain a credit report on Canada Waferboard and their parent company. Mr. Isham stated that Canada Waferboard still has 60 days to make a final decision to execute the option agreement for the LaPine Industrial Site. The meeting was adjourned.
