5. Other Business.
It was suggested that Denny Maloney attend the next meeting to update the
group on the national focus of the Juvenile Report Card accountability
measurements.
The group then discussed anticipated State funding problems in the next
biennium. Some one-time money will be lost. Mr. Dugan said that the crime
lab will probably remain as -is, since the Governor's task force and State Police
support it and realize it is critical to the system, affecting all law enforcement
and the Courts.
Bob Smit asked that Senator Ben Westlund be invited to discuss the upcoming
legislature, and what can be expected to occur. Although he will be requested
to attend the November meeting, it could be unlikely that he can due to the
upcoming election, but perhaps he will be able to attend on December 6.
Mike Dugan suggested that perhaps the new Representatives (Gene Whisnant,
and Chuck Burley or Judy Stiegler) could attend as well, so they can be
provided with an understanding of the issues as seen by LPSCC. Jack Blum
pointed out that Senator Westlund is experienced, and the others have much to
learn. The consensus was for them to be invited to the December meeting.
Ernie Mazorol stated that in November Denny Maloney, Becky Wanless and
Jenny Chocole (Scanlon) should attend the meeting to discuss what should be
recommended to the Board of Commissioners and Budget Committee regarding
how future State dollars are spent.
Jacques DeKalb added that another good item to discuss would be the new
Sheriff's Office five-year comprehensive plan.
Mike Dugan advised the group on the ramifications of Measure 33, the
amendment to the Marijuana Law. He suggested that LPSCC officially oppose
the Measure. A resolution opposing passage of the Measure will be on the
Board of Commissioners' meeting agenda later in the month.

After a lively discussion, it was decided that there were not enough members
present to make such a decision, although the members who were in attendance
individually indicated their concerns that passage of the Measure would result
in problems for law enforcement and health departments through out the State.
The group then discussed how to increase attendance at the meetings, since a
quorum is needed for any official action to be taken. There are some members
who seldom attend. Also, Ron Nelson of the Oregon State Police is retiring
soon as will be leaving the group. This item will be on the next agenda so the
group can address how many members are required to attend a given meeting,
who is appointed and who could be alternate or ex -officio members, and so on.
The next meeting will be Monday, November 1, 3:30 p.m., in the usual location
(Deschutes Services Building, upstairs conference room).
Being no further items brought before the group, the meeting adjourned at 4:30
p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Recording Secretary
