As of July 1, Parole & Probation will be contracting for offender treatment for
substance abuse problems. Representatives of the department are currently
evaluating proposals and should make a selection within thirty days. This will
be an intensive outpatient program for approximately thirty high-risk offenders
per month, at a cost of about $30,000 per year.
Ms. Jackson and Gary Smith will discuss the possibility of County Mental
Health providing or coordinating some of these services.
Per Ms. Jackson, the Department of Corrections does not consider an offender's
sentence served if he or she is matrixed out. There may be a way for the Judges
to help with solutions to this problem. Ms. Jackson will provide some language
for the Judges to consider.
In regard to the matrix system, Ms. Jackson also stated that in her opinion
everyone should be evaluated equally, with no preferences given to 1145
inmates.
4. Discussion of Housing 18 -Year Old Offenders in the Jefferson County Jail.
Jenny Scanlon gave a brief overview of the impact of SB 19. Deschutes County
Juvenile Justice has to handle from five to eight 18 -year old individuals per
year. Jefferson County has agreed to house these individuals on a contract basis
at $65 per day per individual; both counties have already signed the
intergovernmental agreement. This cost is substantially less than it would cost
Deschutes County to house these offenders.
5. Update on the Passage of the Sheriffs Levy.
Sheriff Stiles said that even with the passage of the levy, there would be a
gradual decline in the level of services provide. The funding is flat and growth
will outpace the department's ability to provide all required services.

6. Update on the Formation of a "Blue Ribbon" Committee to Address
Permanent Funding for Sheriffs Services.
Sheriff Stiles stated that it is important for this committee to be established as
soon as possible. Commissioner DeWolf explained that many applications have
been received and will need to be reviewed to bring the number of participants
down to a workable level of perhaps 11 or 13 individuals.
It was decided that the members of LPSCC should review a draft of the stated
mission and parameters of the work to be done by this committee.
Being no further items discussed, the meeting adjourned at S: 00 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Recording Secretary
