Ms. Johnson said that the fair booth will arrive soon, and work on the County's participation at the annual fair is underway. She also said she is missing photographs of some of the previous Commissioners from the early years.

Mike Viegas stated that Bob Pike, an environmental access consultant, will be coming to the County to establish the cost to fix the items listed in the Department of Justice's report, as the DOJ wants a response as soon as possible in order to complete a settlement agreement.

Minutes of Administrative Liaison Monday, July 12, 2004 Page 2 of 4 Pages He then gave a brief overview of some of the items to be addressed and the time frame for correcting the problems. This issue will be discussed further at the July 26 Administrative Liaison. 5. Discussion regarding Final Documents regarding the Redmond Humane Society Property Lot Line Adjustment. Laurie Craghead indicated that the documents relating to the lot line adjustment have not been finalized. The Commissioners agreed that it was appropriate to switch the properties as long as there is no cost to the County. 6. Briefing regarding Joint Meetings with City of Redmond and with the City of Bend. Mike Maier explained that in regard to flow control for the Solid Waste Department, a representative of one hauling company indicated at the City of Redmond meeting that he is not supportive. The other haulers are, however. The County needs the cities and haulers to agree to the concept of flow control in order to guarantee product for the landfill. Attempts will be made to contact the representative to go over the situation in detail. 7. General Discussion regarding a Proposal relating to the Operation of the Commission on Children & Families. Jenny Scanlon stated that she presented a proposal for Juvenile Community Justice to oversee the work of the Commission on Children & Families. (A copy of the proposal and other information is attached as Exhibit B.) The Commissioners and Mike Maier noted that this could be an opportune time to make a transition. However, Dan Peddycord of the Health Department and Scott Johnson, current director of the Commission, have expressed concerns regarding this proposed change. After a lengthy discussion, the Commissioner indicated that they wish to meet with Judge Michael Sullivan as soon as possible to discuss the issue further.

(541-322-7418) DESCHUTES COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT West Nile Virus: Does it Affect Deschutes County? West Nile Virus (WNV) has not been detected in Oregon as of June 2004. It is uncertain when or where the first human case will be detected and how many cases may occur state- wide. There were 9,862 confirmed human cases of WNV in 2003 in the U.S. resulting in 264 deaths. In comparison, each year there are 36,000 deaths nationally from influenza (flu) complications. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS AND WHO IS AT RISK? West Nile Virus is a potentially serious illness. WNV affects the central nervous system. Symptoms vary and develop between 3 and 14 days after the person is bitten by the in- fected mosquito. There is no specific treatment. • No symptoms in most people. Approximately 80% of people who are infected with WNV will show NO symptoms at all. • Milder symptoms in some people. Up to 20 % of people infected will display symp- toms which can include fever, headache, body aches, nausea, vomiting, and sometimes swollen lymph glands or skin rash. Symptoms can last from a few days up to several weeks. • Serious symptoms in a few people. About 1 in 150 people infected with WNV will develop serious illness. This may include high fever, headache, neck stiffness, disori- entation, muscle weakness or paralysis. These symptoms may last several weeks; neu- rological effects may be permanent. Seek medical care. • Young children and adults over 50 are at higher risk of getting sick. Spending time outside puts them at higher risk. • Toll-free WNV HOW DOES WEST NILE VIRUS SPREAD? information line (1-866-703-4636) • Most often, WNV is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Certain species of mosquitoes are WNV carriers that acquire the virus when they feed on infected birds. Not all mosquitoes are infected with the virus, however those that are can spread WNV to humans and other animals when they bite. Deschutes County In a very small number of cases, WNV has spread through blood transfusions, organ transplants, breastfeeding and from mother to baby during pregnancy. WNV is not spread through casual contact such as touching or kissing a person with the virus. PROTECTING YOURSELF: • The first line of defense against mosquito -borne diseases is to avoid mosquitoes. • Stay indoors at dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes are most active; when outdoors, wear long sleeve shirts and long pants. Health Department Eliminate mosquito breeding areas (standing water) around the home such as puddles 2577 NE Courtney or containers that hold water, including old tires, buckets and cans. Change water in Bend, Oregon pet dishes, bird baths or stock tanks at least once a week. Consider using products sold 541-322-7400 in garden stores containing larvicidal bacteria to treat ponds or bodies of water that www.deschutes.org cannot be eliminated to kill mosquito larvae. Inspect all window and door screens at home to make sure they are free of holes. • When you are outdoors, use insect repellents with DEET according to directions. Place mosquito netting over infant carriers when going outdoors. • There is a WNV vaccination available for horses, see your veterinarian for more infor- mation. Exhibit fl Page ;Z of z /A Concerns—questions to be answered: ➢ Change dynamic of the Commission? ➢ How would it be perceived—public perception? ➢ Need to have a level playing field for all agencies ➢ Questions around legislative intent ➢ Right now there are no territorial lines ➢ Current limited role of County—housing the CCF as an actual Department ➢ CCF currently not tied to any one agency or perceived to be a part of Government ➢ Recently completed a three year plan—this would need to be re -visited and/or revised ➢ Evaluate the cost to do business well vs. compromising the integrity of the program ➢ Potential for Issues of power, control and agendas when housed under a specific Department ➢ Discussions with the State commission—problems that have been associated with this type of model ➢ Ask the open question—should the CCF remain independent?

The hiring of Scott Johnson as the new Director of the Mental Health Department offers a unique opportunity to consider alternative options for oversight and management of the CCF. In light of significant fiscal challenges related to funding of programs for children and families in Oregon, I make this proposal with the intention of maintaining a comparable level of management and service delivery while supporting the tremendous opportunity to direct administrative resources toward funding of services to children and families. Since 1994, Scott has worked very hard to build a solid foundation for the Commission on Children and Families. This has included the establishment and development of a powerful and effective lay citizen board, strong community partnerships, and an influential relationship with the Legislature and Elected Officials representing Deschutes County and the State of Oregon. It is on this foundation that I will continue to foster the strengths of CCF utilizing the expertise of the Commission Board and staff members. The Commission on Children and Families consists of fifteen Deschutes County residents who comprise the only lay citizen board in Oregon. From my perspective, the Board exercises great authority in the various functions in which it serves including education, advocacy, strategizing and funding of programs for children and families. Under my leadership, the role and overall functioning of the Commission will not change. In my view, this proposal is only possible given Exhibit I3 Page Z of = "Dedicated to Promoting Public Safety & Strengthening our Community" U the solid foundation of the Department in conjunction with a high functioning board. I propose to continue this work under the Supervision of the Chairperson, CCF Board and guidance from the Governing Board. The Juvenile Community Justice Department (JCJ) encompasses a large infrastructure including several staff positions dedicated to performing financial and grant related functions. Through our existing JCJ staff support (including a Program Development Specialist that worked part-time with CCF for two years), we are more than capable of absorbing a significant amount of the support functions and administrative duties related to the operations of CCF grant administration and Board support. I believe this model will enable the Program Manager and Program Development Technicians to focus increased concentration on the monitoring of service delivery and program development, a more advantageous utilization of their talents and expertise. Over a six month period, I will focus my time and attention toward expanding the foundation that has been established and help the Commission maintain innovation and a high level of service delivery in the face of continued growth and shrinking resources. My work in the juvenile justice field over the last 14 years demonstrates a strong record of accomplishment and leadership in creating innovative programs, inter -agency collaboration and outcome based management practices. I strongly value the work of the Commission on Children and Families and will consider it an honor to serve on their behalf. The integrity of services to the community will be enhanced based on the similarities in mission, philosophy and values of the two organizations. I believe administering the Commission on Children and Families in partnership with the Juvenile Community Justice Department will ultimately reinforce the continuum of services the community has worked so hard to develop under Scott's leadership. Greater efficiencies around information sharing and program development will be realized, resulting in a move toward a more seamless service delivery system for Deschutes County. In a recent conversation with Ernie Mazorol, Court Administrator, he rightfully pointed me in the direction of House Bill 2003, Chapter 675, which speaks to the legislative intent related to the authority given to Deschutes County toward the development of Commission on Children and Families specific to the identified needs of Deschutes County in 1993. By law, the Commission must have an all lay citizen board and a local advisory council (Professional Advisory Board). In addition, it is the only Oregon Commission with a governing body that includes County Commissioners and the Presiding Judge. Section 2 states, "There shall be a staff director for the local commission. The governing body shall hire the staff director. The staff director shall be supervised by the local commission." As we fine tune this proposal together, we will meet Exhibit P Page 3 of V the legislative intent which ultimately is to provide the best services to our community for children and families. In such difficult financial times it is incumbent upon us to undertake innovative methods to broaden the impact of our limited funding. As a youth services professional, I continually seek funding opportunities for services for an increasingly challenging and ever-changing population. Please consider this proposal as my sincere intention toward bringing more services to children and families and reducing county administrative costs. I'm excited by the opportunity to work cooperatively and successfully with the Commission, Governing Board and staff who have consistently demonstrated their ability to effectively and efficiently run the CCF with minimal resources. By allowing the opportunity for a six-month trial period, we can work together to see if this is a model that can work as well as I believe it will for the community we serve.
