MINUTES OF ADMINISTRATIVE LIAISON
DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
TUESDAY, AUGUST 3, 2004
Commissioners' Conference Room - Administration Building - 1300 NW Wall St.., Bend
Present were Commissioners Michael M. Daly, Dennis R. Luke and Tom De Wolf.
Also present were Mike Maier, County Administrator; David Givans,
Commissioners' Office; Jenny Scanlon, Juvenile Community Justice; Mark
Amberg, Legal Counsel; and media representative Chris Barker of the Bulletin.
No other citizens were present.
The meeting began at 8:35 a.m., after the conclusion of an executive session called
under ORS 192.660(1)(h), pending or threatened litigation.

A discussion then took place regarding the failure of the Commission on Children
& Families' Advisory Board to support the proposal. It was pointed out that part
of the problem was the manner in which the proposal was presented.
Ms. Scanlon expressed concern that some of the current working relationships
may be damaged if there are further efforts to encourage the proposal. She was
advised that the end of the process is near, and should be continued as there are
some good ideas contained within the proposal. It was also emphasized that
more damage could result if the proposal is withdrawn at this time rather than
following it through. This was a legitimate proposal, done in good faith with
good intentions.
Commissioner Luke pointed out that the Commission on Children & Families is
facing major budget problems in the future. A one-time grant of $100,000 was
given, but this will not continue and options are needed. If the legislature does
not authorize funding, cuts in staffing or programs will occur. Funding is
already down 40% from the past.
Commissioner Daly stated that perhaps in the future, Ms. Scanlon could speak
with members of the advisory board individually; he feels that the group may
not want to lose control or its identity.
Commissioner DeWolf clarified that Ms. Scanlon first went to Mike Maier with
the proposal, not to the Board. Mr. Maier suggested that she present it to the
Board and Scott Johnson, and Mr. Johnson directed her to the advisory board.
Mr. Maier explained that because Mr. Johnson was hired as the new director of
Mental Health, action had to be taken quickly prior to beginning the recruiting
process for his previous position as director of the Commission. There was no
intention of blind -siding anyone.
Commissioner DeWolf added that Judge Sullivan also supports working
through the proposal in order to clarify any misperceptions.
3. Discussion of Requests for Video Lottery Grant Funds.
A discussion took place as to how to handle requests for lottery grant dollars
when those requests are not directed specifically to a Commissioner. There are
occasions when a request comes in without the Commissioners having advance
knowledge of the request, and staff does not know who should receive the
request.

In regard to a request for funds from La Pine Middle School for funding a guest
speaker, the Commissioners were not supportive. Staff will advise the school
representative of the denial.
LUKE: Move that this request be denied at this time.
DEWOLF: Second.
VOTE: DEWOLF: Yes.
LUKE: Yes.
DALY: Chair votes yes.
Three separate requests have been received from the Bend Community Center
RSVP Program; these requests will be addressed at the next Administrative
Liaison, along with any others that need to be discussed.
Being no further items brought before the group, the meeting adjourned at 9:15
a.m., at which time the Board went into Executive Session under ORS
192.660(1)(b), a personnel issue.
DATED this 3rd Day of August 2004 for the Deschutes County Board of
Commissioners.
