Discussion re- Myer Avedovech, Chairman of the Juvenile Services Com- garding Juv- mission, was present to discuss this. He noted that he enile Services had sent the Board a memo and packet of material relat- Commission ing to this matter the day before for their review. He explained that in the JSC Comprehensive Plan it had identified an alternative school as one of the projects that it would be funding, and had budgeted $17,000 for this project. He noted that this was a joint effort between JSC, J-J Boys Ranch and the Bend School Dist- rict, however, later the Bend School district elected not to participate in the project, which terminated the project. This left $17,000 of JSC funds available for another project, so the commission reviewed all possible alternates and chose by a split vote of nine to four to recommend that the prevention program headed by Judith Allan receive JSC funding. If the Board adopts this recommendation, they will present this recommendation to the state who has the ultimate authority to fund this program. Mr. Avedovech noted that if the Board does choose to recommend approval, he would like them to do this as soon as possible so that they can submit this proposal to the State Juvenile Services Commission at their August 301 1982 meeting, and which would enable the program to be initiated by October of this year. AUGUST 17, 1982 MINUTES: PAGE 1 There was also some discussion as to employee status of Ms. Allen if this project were to receive approval. Mike Maier, Administrative Services, was present to address this issue, and he recommend that Ms. Allen not be in the capacity of a County employe (since this would require a department head to supervise and coordinate the program) but in the capacity of a service contract- or. Mr. Avedovech went on to explain that this program was a somewhat controversial one, and that if it were to be implemented here it would be the first in the State. He said that there were a number of people throughout the state that would be watching this program to see how effective it is. Jim Verhoef, member of the Juvenile Services Commission, stated that he was opposed to this program and had voted against it, based on the fact that it is still an exper- imental program and there is no data to document its effectiveness. He noted that they will be working with children as young as two, four and six years old, and he felt that this should not be done on an experimental basis. At this time Judith Allen, the program coordinator, came forward to explain the function of the program. She explained that the purpose of the program is to bond a child to its parent at an early age to prevent that child from adopting sociopathic behavior as he grows older. Her theory was that a child will exhibit sociopathic behavior in teen and pre-teen years if bonding does not occur at infancy or in the very early stages of life. She stated that parental bonding occurs when a parent relieves a need (such as hunger) when the child demonstrates a need by becoming angry or crying. She stated that if this need is not relieved, bonding does not occur and uncontrollable behavior can later result. She stated that the therapy consists of theraputic holding, and providing a controlled envir- onment designed to allow the child to vent his anger or rage and to be comforted, or 'relieved', thus allowing the bonding process to occur. Mr. Verhoef stated that he is uncomfortable with the idea of induced rage in a child. He stated that the initial proposal for this program had a budget of over $100,000 and now the same program is being proposed for only $17,000. He stated that this program was to be sponsored by the County, but since no department would be adopting the program, it should go back before the commission. He voiced his reservations about remaining on the commission if this program were to be approved. Ms. Allan responded that this program will not induce rage, but will only provide an outlet for the anger that AUGUST 17, 1982 MINUTES: PAGE 2 the child is already experiencing. With regard to the budget, she stated that the initial proposal was budgeted at $28,000, but at the request of the JSC she had expanded the program to include a larger staff and resources, which created a budget in excess of $100,000. The State Juvenile Services Commission rejected that proposal because of the expense, and asked her to resubmit a pared down proposal, which is the proposal currently be considered at a cost of $17,000. With regard to the question of employee status, Ms. Allen stated that she had not been made aware of the possi- blity of coming under a county department, and had developed the proposal to reflect an independent con- tractor status. MOTION: PAULSON moved that the Board endorse the Juvenile Services Commission recommendation for seeking funding for the Prevention Pro- gram, and require the program coordinator to perform duties in the capacity of service contractor. YOUNG: Second. Mr. Avedovech stated that they are actually amending the JSC Comp Plan to replace the Alternative School Program with the Prevention Program. He stated that results of the program will be evaluated through the collection of data, but noted that the data would have more value if collected several years after treatment. He did not know if resources would be available at that time to collect this data. VOTE: PAULSON: AYE. YOUNG: AYE. Discussion re- There was some discussion as to whether this item should garding Agree- be heard on the regular agenda or if the Board should ment with OSU reconvene as the Board of Directors of the 4-H and Ex- and 4-H Exten- tension Service District Board of Directors. It was the sion Service concensus that they should hold a separate meeting. At District this time Chairman Young gave verbal notice that there would be a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Des- chutes 4-H and Extension Service District tomorrow, August 18, 1982 at 11:00 a.m. Acceptance and Neil Hudson and Dave Hoerning of the Public Works De- Signature of partment were present to discuss this. It was their Deed for Right- recommendation that the Board not accept this deed for of-Way purposes right-of-way purposes for the Klippel Acres LID, as this for Klippel deed was conditioned upon the paving of the grantor's Acres LID driveway. They explained that this project will have to go through the remonstrance period again because the estimated cost of the project has raised from the $82,000 initially proposed to $107,000, because the cur- rent roadways are not consistent with the dedicated roadways, which will require additional costs for survey AUGUST 17, 1982 MINUTES: PAGE 3 and mapping work to be done. It was also noted that the County will levy a 15% charge over and above the cost of the project to cover costs and contingencies involved with the bonding and coordinating of the project. Before the Board was order #82-324, an order directing the Director of Public Works to begin another remonstrance period for this project, and accepting an amended Engineer's report. Chairman Young read this order aloud. MOTION: PAULSON moved to approve the order. YOUNG: Second. VOTE: PAULSON: AYE. YOUNG: AYE. There will be a hearing on this September 1 as directed by the order.
