Per Don Horton the City wanted us to meet earlier design standards. The City
will purchase a piece of Canal Park property for the road easement and the City
will work with the County to see who will own the easement. Tom Blust said
they have it scheduled to do the road in 2007-2008.
Commissioner DeWolf said there are issues with building and none of them
have been resolved. Mr. Horton said they have 2 pieces of property that are not
tied up, Hollingshead and Blakely Park. There are stipulations on how the
property is to be used. Mr. Pilliod said there are problems with Hollingshead.
Mr. Horton said Blakely Park has less property but does have improvements.
DEWOLF: Move approval to accept Blakely Park as reversionary property,
subject to legal review.
LUKE: Second.
VOTE: LUKE: Yes
DEWOLF: Yes.
DALY: Chair votes yes.
Bend Park & Rec agrees with Blakely Park as a reversionary property. Mr.
Horton said that they closed on Pine Nursery as of last Thursday and Mr. Pilliod
is reviewing the document.
3. Discussion Regarding Mental Health Clients Participating in Exhibiting
Art Under Same Process as Employee Art Program.
Anna Johnson said that an employee with Mental Health asked if once we start
the Art Program, could Mental Health clients submit art. Ms. Johnson said that
there is a committee to screen art pieces. We have a contract for employees and
any one else who submits art.
Commissioner Luke asked if someone was turned down, would it be a problem.
Ms. Johnson said the committee would have the right to turn art work down if
they felt it was not appropriate.

Commissioner DeWolf asked Ms. Johnson to make a copy of the policy for the
Board to review and they will discuss the issue further at another meeting.
At 2: 00 p.m. the Board went into executive session under ORS 192.660(1)(e),
pending or threatened litigation.
At 2:15 the executive session adjourned and the Commissioners continued with
the Administrative Liaison meeting.
4. Discussion of Trillium.
Scott Johnson said Deschutes County Mental Health has a $57,000.00 contract
for Trillium for Treatment Foster Care Services. Suzanne Donovan explained
that the money is provided by the State and is specifically allocated to
Deschutes County to invest in Treatment Foster Care Services. Trillium will
serve Deschutes County by providing local Treatment Foster Care Services.
Ms. Donovan also said that in the future, the money will no longer go the
Counties. The money will go to ABHA beginning in July of 2005. Mr. Pilliod
said that there should be something in the contract that provides for renewal.
Ms.' Donovan said that the services Trillium provides are: hiring, supervising,
training, and providing Foster Care Home oversight. Mr. Pilliod said the
contract should make it clear that Trillium is responsible for the actions of the
provider.
5. Discussion of Federally Qualified Health Clinic (FQHC) in La Pine.
Dan Peddycord said that the Clinic is having financial problems. They gave all
employees a 15% pay cut and they cut 30% off of lease costs on a 4 month by 4
month lease. Lisa Stuffy thinks she can make it work. The problems they are
having are with cash flow and business management. We might need to sit
down with the Stuffy's and talk about what we could do as a County and them
being an FQHC.
Commissioner Daly asked if the Clinic is closed in 4 months, will people be
without health care. Mr. Peddycord said he did not think care would be lost as
St. Charles would be able to provide the care.

personnel issue and ORS 192.660(1)(e), pending or threatened litigation.
After the completion of the executive session, the Board took action on the
following item.
A. Regarding the Debroah Neff Settlement:
LUKE: Motion to authorize Mark Amberg to negotiate the settlement
on the workers comp case and the liability case for an amount
up to $70,000.00.
DEWOLF: Second.
VOTE: LUKE: Yes.
DEWOLF: Yes.
DALY: Chair votes yes.
6. Discussion Regarding Ferguson Group.
Mr. Pilliod said that the renewal of the contract with Ferguson Group is noticed
for Public Hearing on January 12th to exempt the contract from competitive
bidding. The Board would then need to adopt a Resolution after the Public
Hearing. Commissioner DeWolf asked about price. Mr. Pilliod will check with
them on price.
Being no further items brought before the group, the Administrative Liaison
adjourned at 3:10 p.m.
