MINUTES OF WORK SESSION
DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2007
Present were Commissioners Dennis R. Luke, Michael M. Daly and Tammy Baney.
Also present were Dave Kanner, County Administrator and David Inbody,
Assistant to the Administrator; and, for apart of the meeting, Catherine Morrow
and Kristen Maze, Community Development; Susan Ross, Property & Facilities;
Laurie Craghead, Legal Counsel; and two other citizens. No representatives of the
media were in attendance.
Chair Daly opened the meeting at 1: 35 p.m.
1. Update on Space Lease Agreement - Latino Community Association.
Brad Porterfield, Executive Director, explained that the group still is seeking
office space. They need approximately 700 square feet and can afford about
$750 per month. It would be helpful to have the location centrally located, near
mass transportation corridors. They need to find a new location by April.
Commissioner Luke asked if he had spoken with any other non-profits about
sharing space. Mr. Porterfield replied that others do not appear to have space
available; they are now talking with the City. Commissioner Luke suggested
that they also ask the schools, especially if the group can provide services to the
schools.
Mr. Porterfield indicated that their walk-in numbers have dropped a little as the
current location is not that easy to find, but the service numbers are about the
same.
He will report back at a future date on the progress made in seeking a new
location for the agency.

2. Discussion regarding Cooperative Efforts for Animal Spay/Neuter
Services.
Dave Kanner discussed a request received from Bend Spay & Neuter Project to
add a voluntary donation line to the dog licensing application. It has been done
in other places. However, it would be awkward to donate the entire amount to
one organization. The funds could be set aside in a fund and a solicitation for
grants could be sent out for the appropriate agencies to apply.
Commissioner Daly said that now that some veterinarian clinics are now selling
licenses, there could be more licensing activity.
Commissioner Luke suggested that a portion of the licensing fee could be
dedicated solely to spay and neuter services, even though the County subsidizes
animal control already.
He said that the only way to get a handle on animal population problems in this
area is through spay and neuter programs. He has no problem with a voluntary
contribution line on the form. He would rather put money into spay and neuter
than into euthanasia. Prevention is far better than problems that are created if
you don't handle it up front.
The Commissioners agreed that the form should be changed to include a
voluntary donation line specifically for spay and neuter. Commissioner Luke
would like to have the County match the amount donated by the public in this
regard, up to $10,000. Mr. Kanner will work with Marty Wynne on changing
the form.
3. Work Session Discussion of Proposed Amateur Radio Facilities Text
Amendment.
Kristen Maze said this already went before the Planning Commission. She
asked for a specific date to hold a hearing on this issue, and Measure 56 notice
has a bearing. Because property would potentially be more restrictively zoned,
notice has to be sent to everyone. It could affect existing land use.
Catherine Morrow stated that Measure 56 was passed by the voters some time
ago, and is very specific about the type of notice and when property owners
need to be notified. Legal Counsel advised that a Measure 56 notice would be
wise in this instance.
Minutes of Administrative Work Session Wednesday, September 19, 2007
Page 2 of 6 Pages
Commissioner Luke advised that this in effect would down-zone properties and
could affect many properties in the county. Commissioner Daly asked what has
triggered this issue. Ms. Maze said it is an application driven text amendment
in response to a code enforcement issue. An individual with a radio tower
challenged the enforcement. The Planning Commission had many hearings,
and there was controversy, primarily because the person who complained has
been actively pursuing the issue. The applicant is not satisfied with what the
Planning Commissioner decided but withdrew his appeal.
Catherine Morrow said there are state and federal laws on amateur radio
operations. This will be controversial, and Measure 56 notice will generate a
lot of interest. State law says that if you are going to regulate them, you have to
identify a health, safety or aesthetic issue if it is less than 70 feet. Under federal
law, there is no set height and is left up to the local governmental entity to
determine what is best.
Commissioner Luke pointed out that ham radios are not just for fun. In times of
disaster, they can be the only communication available. That is why they are
handled under federal law.
Ms. Morrow stated that when the cellular towers issues started coming up,
amateur radio towers were taken out of an unregulated status. The Board could
still decide not to regulate them.
Commissioner Baney asked if the number of radios allowed can be set. She
was advised they could not. Further, it is not known how many there are now.
Ms. Craghead stated that the Measure 56 notice issue is important because it is
not known. Commissioner Luke asked if staff supports this one way or another.
Ms. Maze said that there would also be aesthetics to consider and people may
not want to live next door to one; on the other hand, they can be vital
communications tools.
If someone wanted to put up an antenna at this time, the height limit would be
thirty feet, based on zoning regulations. Most will want it at least twice that tall
and would have to ask for a hearing. Commissioner Baney asked how high
they need to be to operate. Ms. Maze said the Planning Commission had to rely
on statute, even though County Code does not have specific language regard
aesthetics. This issue has broader implications as a result.
Minutes of Administrative Work Session Wednesday, September 19, 2007
Page 3 of 6 Pages
Ms. Craghead said this could be appealed to LUBA but the outcome is entirely
unknown. Commissioner Luke stated that when the Board dealt with cellular
towers, some specific language was used; and since that time, it has not been a
big issue.
Ms. Maze noted that this issue will not go away, as there are strong feelings on
both sides. Commissioner Baney asked why they can't be handled individually
as they come up; Ms. Craghead replied that the findings have to be consistent or
LUBA will decide how to handle them. Also, if they come up during Code
enforcement actions, the Courts could get involved.
Ms. Maze said staff suggests this be held in the evening. The Commissioners
agreed that this should be heard and Measure 56 notice should be done. The
hearing will be scheduled for Monday, November 26 at 5:00 p.m.
4. Consideration of Revised Improvement Agreements with Arrowood
Development.
Laurie Craghead explained that for Arrowood to be able to close on the
property, the agreements need to be approved by the end of the week. Tia
Lewis, representing the applicant, said the private investors are not quite ready,
as they did not realize how long the process takes in Oregon.
Ms. Craghead presented Document No. 2007-517 (lighting) and 2007-519
(landscaping), in the amount of $48,000 and $49,000 respectively. This will be
deposited in the County's account at closing.
Commissioner Luke stated that staff has had to put a lot of additional time into
this situation and should be compensated. Ms. Craghead said that for as long as
the funds are in escrow, the interest will be credited to the County.
Commissioner Baney asked what the options are; Mr. Kanner said they could
do nothing; approve the documents; accept a surety through Pacific Power and
Light; or waive the Code requirement regarding signing a plat.
Commissioner Luke stated that it is in the best interest of the citizens to proceed
with this.
LUKE: Move signature of Document No. 2007-517.
BANEY: Second.

6. Update of Commissioners' Schedules; Meeting Details.
Commissioner Baney will attend the Mental Health triennial review meeting
regarding legislative session outcomes with the State on behalf of the Board on
October 22. She will miss the afternoon work session.
She said that the Commission on Children & Families has a lot of good projects
on the work plan this year.
7. Other Items.
Dave Kanner said that concerning the Deschutes Basin Conservation project,
the habitat conservation group is holding its first meeting on Monday. He
stated that they have said they want confidentiality during their meetings and he
is concerned about this being kept from open public participation.
Commissioner Luke said this happened when they did negotiations on Pelton
Dam. If COIC has a consultant on board, the meetings may not be held in
Central Oregon.
Minutes of Administrative Work Session Wednesday, September 19, 2007
Page 5 of 6 Pages
The County's contribution would be fixed at $5,000, and the money would go
to COIC for this purpose. Commissioner Luke said that COIC would provide
staffing, but nothing would preclude County participation. Mr. Kanner stated
that the $5,000 would cover one year, after which time the County may be
asked to contribute additional funding.
David Inbody continues to find out what other counties have done in this
regard. Commissioner Luke is interested in attending these meetings when
possible, and Peter Russell of Community Development and Joe Studer, County
Forester, have some experience in this regard and will attend as well.
The Board then went into executive session under ORS 192.660(2)(h),
litigation, and ORS 192.660(2)(a), Personnel Hiring. After its conclusion,
action was taken.
LUKE: Move that Legal Counsel go forward on the 7th Mountain Water
Utility lawsuit on personal property tax foreclosure.
BANEY: Second.

Being no further items to come before the Board, Commissioner Daly

Mike,
TAankyouformeeting with L?aveKanner regarding supporting 5p,! /neuter. /'mgladratassurcd
you they wouldn't adopt out animals unaltered She made the same commitment to me, but was a
little apprehensive about it. Hearing it from you will help herrealize the seriousness ofthis issue and
help ff,5CO keep this commitment. Kcdmond f -lumane on the other hand is still adopting out
unaltered animals.
Because of feedback from my donors, volunteers and the public, fam thinking that keepingB,jN'
separate from f '5co is probably the best idea. rf,5co is clearly not ready to tape the plunge
to treat the public's animals and we are happy to take on the challenge.
(By the way, this issue is due to an Oregon law thatstates that only a veterinarian can operate a
veterinary clinic. wegetaround this by havingourstaff vetsgn an agreement draftcdbyan
attomey to be the practice "owner. " The Oregon Veterinary McdicalBoard as well as the
Department of-Justice have stated that while this is technically agrey area, they do not currently

have told me that this is their concern. It wouldn't be any different from what we're doing- we just
don't have as k;~k a likelihood ofbeing challenged.
However, my clinic is burstingat Me seams and willatsome point need a /arScrfac&l I. Since
/`15C0 is Planning to build a new building it seems absurd to me to not include a spay neuter

Sara,
I have received the information you faxed to me with the different ideas on raising funds for the spay and
neuter project. I will meet with our County Administrator Dave Kanner and discuss these new ideas with him. I
also met with Mike Maier and Pat Roden recently and discussed with them your concerns. Pat Assured me that
no Animal which is adopted leaves the shelter without being spayed or neutered first. I believe you had some
concerns about that when we talked.
I am a little confused on the issue of the Bend Shelter taking over the spay and neuter duties of your
organization, it appears it is a potential liability issue, and their board does not want to take that on. It has
something to do with the State Veterinarian recognizing the shelter as a clinic the same as a private clinic. It
may require a legislative fix. The issue is that after 5 days, a stray animal belongs to the shelter and they can
spay or neuter without any liability which they are doing now. I believe most or all of your animals are brought in
by private owners and you do not have the liability protection on these types of animals. In other words, they do
not belong to you. After 5 days the shelter can claim ownership of the stray animals and not have the liability
issues.
fully support your efforts, and maybe we can work together to find solution to this problem. We all know you
are doing a great service with your organization and we need to support you. Keep me in the loop on what you
are doing and I will help when I can.

Dear Mr. Wynne,
BENDSPAYNEUTEPROJECT
PAGE 02
The Bend Spay & Neuter Project is a relatively new non-profit organization pro-
viding vital services to the pets and homeless animals in Deschutes County. I am the
founder and volunteer executive director of the organization. We have fulfilled a major
need for low and no-cost spay/neuter services at our clinic In Bend. We have been over-
whelmed and overjoyed by the response from the community. We are currently looking
for innovative ways to find sustainable funding and have discovered an idea that
Marlcopa County in Arizona has found successful (see attached).
By simply adding a voluntary donation line to the dog license application, funds
were raised from the public to support non-profit spay/neuter efforts. We understand
that half of the dog license funds go to the two local Humane Societies in part for
spay/neuter services; however at this time neither has an effective spay/neuter
program. Citizens strongly support spay/neuter services, and this would be an excellent
way to educate the public about what we do, as well as provide needed funding for
these vital services. It will also provide additional incentive for us to encourage
compliance with Deschutes County's dog license law. We have just received our dog
license application kit from the county.
We will be celebrating our clinic's first year anniversary on October 3, and have
thus performed over 6000 spay/neuter procedures. Research and common sense
indicate that in order for any effort to end pet homelessness to succeed, we must
reallocate resources from treating the symptoms to addressing the factors that cause
the problem.
We have received much support from our County Commissioners, which has
helped us improve our facility and kept us afloat for the first year, and we are very
grateful. Upon gathering the financial data from our clinic's first 12 months we are look-
ing to secure stable funding to ensure our long term success.
It is my sincere hope that you will consider this proposal. If you would like to
discuss how we can work together to implement this relatively simple but very Important
change, please contact me by phone at 410.7660 or by email at sara@bgndsni .orr>r.
Thank you for your time and considerationl

MEMORANDUM
TO: Deschutes County Board of County Commission
FROM: Kristen Maze, Associate Planner
DATE: September 19, 2007
SUBJECT: Work session for Amateur Radio Text Amendment TA-06-10
This memo is a request by Staff to determine if the Board of County Commissioners ("Board")
would like to schedule a November public hearing for the Amateur Radio Facilities.
Staff would like the Board to consider the proposed text amendment as a County initiated
amendment that modifies Deschutes County Code Title 18, Section 18.040.030, Definitions of
the Deschutes County Code to include Amateur Radio Facilities and Amateur (Ham) Radio
Services and Section 18.120.040, Building Height Exceptions, adding limitations for Amateur
Radio Facilities.
The Deschutes County Code currently does not address amateur radio facilities therefore, this
proposed amendment would address such facilities with clear County standards for future
construction of amateur radio facilities.
Staff is proposing that a Measure 56 notice for this text amendment be sent to an estimated
45,000 property owners in the unincorporated area of Deschutes County. The total cost to send
out notice with the tax bills is estimated at $3,500. Based on State Statute ORS 215.503 (4)
there shall be "at least 20 days but no more that 40 days before the date of the first hearing on
an ordinance that proposes to rezone property". This would require setting a hearing date for
the Board in late November, around the 12th but no later than the 30th of November.
An estimated cost for Bend Mailing to send out a Measure 56 notice for public hearing is
approximately $22,000. This method would allow the County to send out the notice on their own
time schedule with a public hearing to be scheduled between the 20 and 40 day time frame.
Based on the potential controversial issues involving Amateur Radio Facilities staff would also
suggest that the public hearing take place in the evening. At this time, Staff would like the
Board's direction on how to proceed with a hearing schedule.

SPAY+NEUTER
PROJECT
Explanations to questions:
1. Bend Spay & Neuter Project offers low and no cost spay and neuter services to the public for
their pets and stray animals to decrease the number of unwanted animals in Deschutes
County. BSNP is controlled by a Board of Directors with daily operations managed by the
Executive Director. Activities include:
• Clinic operations; performing up to 45 spay/neuter procedures per day.
• Adoption and foster program; placing cats and kittens in permanent homes.
• Education and outreach: Public events to educate about pet overpopulation.
2. Project #1: Improving the clinic's equipment will ensure that we are able to meet the needs
of the community by increasing our efficiency and quality of care so that we can reach the
most animals possible with the resources we have available.
Project #2: Education in the schools is imperative to foster a culture of compassion for
animals as well as to raise awareness about the clinic's available services.
3. The clinic improvements will be completed within 30 days.
The education campaign will run throughout the 2007-2008 school year and will peak during
National Feral Cat Day on October 16, 2007 and Spay Day USA on February 16, 2008.
4. Investing in the root of the animal overpopulation issue will provide opportunities for the
public to better care for their own pets as well as stray and feral animals. Ultimately, by
reducing the number of animals in the community, animal control costs will be decreased.
Other communities have found that for every dollar invested in spay and neuter services,
they saved $10 in animal control cost in the future. (i.e. Los Angeles County, CA)
5. We continue to target the low income families of Deschutes County to encourage use of our
services. By offerings services below cost, we improve the lives of these families, their pets,
the community as a whole, as well as the animal control agencies that ultimately deal with
these issues.

Dear Mr. Kanner,
BENDSPAYNEUTEPROJECT
PAGE 03
The Bend Spay & Neuter Project is a relatively new non-profit organization pro-
viding vital services to the pets and homeless animals in Deschutes County. I am the
founder and volunteer executive director of the organization. We have fulfilled a major
need for low and no-cost spay/neuter services at our clinic In Send. We have been over-
whelmed and overjoyed by the response from the community. We are currently looking
for innovative ways to find sustainable funding and have discovered an idea that
Maricopa County in Arizona has found successful (see attached).
By simply adding a voluntary donation line to the dog license application, funds
were raised from the publio to support non-profit spay/neuter efforts. We understand
that half of the dog license funds go to the two local Humane Societies in part for
spay/neuter services; however at this time neither has an effective spay/neuter
program. Citizens strongly support spay/neuter services, and this would be an excellent
way to educate the public about what we do, as well as provide needed funding for
these vital services. It will also provide additional incentive for us to encourage
compliance with Deschutes County's dog license law. We have just received our dog
license application kit from the county.
We will be celebrating our clinic's first year anniversary on October 3, and have
thus performed over 6000 spay/neuter procedures. Research and common sense
indicate that In order for any effort to end pet homelessness to succeed, we must
reallocate resources from treating the symptoms to addressing the factors that cause
the problem.
We have received much support from our County Commissioners, which has
helped us improve our facility and kept us afloat for the first year, and we are very
grateful. Upon gathering the financial data from our clinic's first 12 months we are look-
ing to secure stable funding to ensure our long term success.
It is my sincere hope that you will consider this proposal. If you would like to
discuss how we can work together to implement this relatively simple but very important
change, please contact me by phone at 410.7660 or by email at saraCbendsnin.ora.
Thank you for your time and consideration[

VOLUNTARY LICENSE CHECK-OFF
Maricopa County, Arizona
Maricopa County, Arizona, has added a simple
line at the bottom of its dog license form that says
"I would like to give a voluntary donation of $xx to
save more pets' lives."
This is a voluntary donation and the amount is left
open so that people can decide how much they
would like to give. This program raises $10,000 a
month for Maricopa County Animal Care and
Control and helps fund programs that their budget
does not cover, such as treatment for sick or
injured animals and spay/neuter clinics for feral
cats.
How to do something similar
in your community
Contact the department responsible for oversee-
ing licensing in your community and schedule a
meeting with the director. If you don't know which
department this is, call your county commission-
ers: Do some advance research to know how
many licenses are sold, what kind of program you
want, how it would work, and what fund the
money would go in.
You will need to decide who will administer the
funds. In Maricopa County, the funds are used to
bolster animal care and control programs that are
not funded by the county.
It is important to make sure that this money is
earmarked specifically for the programs you
intend it for, and not put in a general fund.

LICENSE SURCHARGES
New Hampshire
The state of New Hampshire was one of the first
to try this strategy. By adding a $2 surcharge onto
their dog license fees, they funded two programs:
Shelter adopters' program: New Hampshire
residents who adopt a cat or dog from a focal
shelter can have the animal sterilized for a fee of
$30, which covers the cost of surgery and all
post-surgical care, such as suture removal. The
program pays the rest of the neutering cost. The
pet caretaker remains responsible for all other
costs, such as any necessary presurgical Immunk
zations and the presurgical examination.
Low-income program: This program is available
to all New Hampshire cat or dog caretakers who
are eligible for Medicaid or food stamps or one
of five other public assistance programs. The
only cost to them is a $15 co-payment for the
sterilization. The program pays the rest of the
veterinarian's fee for the surgery and related
expenses, including any necessary presurgical
immunizations.
Program design
All services are provided by licensed vetednar-
ians in their own hospitals and clinics. Vets who
participate in the program agree to accept a 20%
reduction of their customary neutering fee. About
three-quarters of all the state's veterinarians have
joined the program. The state veterinarian sets a
maximum neutering fee each year based on the
customary fees of all the veterinarians who
participate in the program. In 2001, these caps
ranged from $48 to sterilize a male cat to $130.40
for a female dog over 75 pounds.
Revenue
All funding for the program is derived from a $2
surcharge on dog licenses. About 130,000 dogs
are licensed in the state each year, generating
revenue of about $260,000. These funds are
maintained by the State Treasurer in a separate
account which is dedicated for the sole use of the
program.
Program statistics
Over the first seven years, 29,658 surgeries were
performed through the program at a cost of
$1,236,817. The average subsidy paid by the
program in FY'01 was $55.29.
How to do something similar
in your community
Decide if you want this done by county or state-
wide. If you decide to try this on a county by
county level, contact the county commissioners to
find out who oversees licensing. It may be the
commissioners, the auditor, or the treasurer.
Develop a program and present it to them with as
much detail as you have, including cost savings,
statistics, projections, and benefits. It is helpful to
have the support of animal control. If you are
going on a statewide level, you will most likely
need to get the legislature to pass the necessary
legislation, as they did in New Hampshire.

CITY GOVERNMENTS SPONSORING A DAY OF SURGERIES
Austin, Texas
The City of Austin sponsors one day each week
for free spay/neuter surgeries and rabies vac-
cines for low-income residents. A mobile van
operated by the nonprofit Emanci-Pet performs
the surgeries at a cost of $30 for a dog spay, $25
for a dog neuter, $20 for a cat spay, and $15 for a
cat neuter. The mobile van spays or neuters
between 25 and 40 animals per day.
How to do something similar
in your community
Develop a plan with a local spay/neuter program.
This could be a mobile van, an agreement with
local veterinarians, or a MASH/fixed clinic. Make
sure you include the cost per surgery and the
total number of projected surgeries. Stress that
this is a public service for low-income residents
who could not afford this service otherwise.
Approach your city council or your county com-
missioners and ask them to consider sponsoring
the surgeries one day a week or even once a
month.

FUNDING FROM THE COUNTY'S GENERAL FUND
Jacksonville, Florida
First Coast No More Homeless Pets submitted a
proposal for a spay/neuter program to the City of
Jacksonville and received $250,000 in funding for
one year of a no-cost program for low-income
people.
Each year, the program will be reviewed and it is
hoped money will be allocated in the budget to
continue the program. The program is a collabo-
ration among the city, First Coast NMHP, and the
Jacksonville Veterinary Medical Association.
Twelve vet hospitals participate in the program,
which is geared toward low-income people. The
hospitals do the qualification screening. The
program expects to do 3,200 surgeries In 2003.
First Coast No More Homeless Pets also does a
lot of educational outreach with flyers, billboards,
radio ads, and booths at events to promote the
general message of spay/neuter and to promote
this program.
How to do something similar
in your community
Develop a plan --will it be a mobile van, a part-
nership with local vet hospitals, or a MASH clinic?
It is helpful to get veterinary support for your
efforts and the endorsement of the local veteri-
nary association.
Once you have an idea of what kind of program
you want to do, you need to develop a budget,
goals, and the details of the program. Meet with
the county commissioners to discuss the benefits
and submit your proposal to them.

ADD A PENNY TAX
Marion County, Florida
Marion County added on a penny in sales tax for
two years for a capital improvement plan for the
county that helps the Jail, the library, the court
system, and the expansion of the Marion County
Animal Center, doubling the kennel size from 36
to 72 and connecting it to the adoption wing.
The commissioners have already funded one
Neuter Scooter mobile spay/neuter unit and are
looking to purchase a second van.
Mow to do something similar
in your community
This is something that the county commissioners
would need to consider doing, so you would need
to contact them with a proposal and good statis-
tics.

IN MEDICINE
CLINIC OF THE CASCADES
September 10, 2007
Dear County Commissioners,
Volunteers in Medicine (VIM) Clinic of the Cascades is a non-profit medical
clinic located on the St. Charles hospital campus in Bend, Oregon. VIM's
mission is to serve the health care needs of uninsured Deschutes County
residents who do not qualify for the Oregon Health Plan or Medicare and have
no other access to medical care. Currently 260 volunteers -doctors, nurses,
dental professionals, pharmacists, social workers, interpreters and others-
provide compassionate medical care to our patients. VIM services include:
❖ preventive and acute care
❖ chronic disease management such as diabetes wellness care
❖ specialty referral, including oncology and surgical services
❖ mental health assessment and short term treatment
dental screening and limited treatment
d• referral to optometry and ophthalmology
❖ assistance with prescription medications through our in-house dispensary
The Clinic is governed by a Board of Directors (see attached) that include
physicians, business and community leaders. We treat approximately 135
patients each week. We have completed over 19,000 visits since opening.
We are currently completing 575 patient visits monthly. In terms of
demographics, 60% of our patients are female and over half are under the age
of 40. Twenty-five percent of our patients are Hispanic. Although the Oregon
Health Plan covers most children, we have about 200 patients under the age
of 18.
VIM began offering limited dental services to patients who have a dental
condition that is inhibiting their ability to work, attend classes, care for their
families or is affecting their overall health. In 2005 VIM established a
partnership with the Allied Health Dental Assisting Program at COCC.
Through this partnership, VIM patients are treated by a volunteer dentist at the
Dental Assisting Lab (a fully outfitted, four chair dental suite). The dental
assisting students obtain practicum hours for the chair side assistance they
provide the under the supervision of their instructors. The clinic runs annually
from November through June. We anticipate providing urgent dental services
to 140 patients this upcoming program year.
2300 NE Neff Road * Bend, Oregon 97701 phone
54113309001 + fax54715859042 * www.vim-cascades.org
VIM is requesting funding for medical equipment that will allow our volunteer
caregivers to provide needed services and supplies and materials needed to
outfit the Dental Clinic at COCC for the upcoming program year. Specifically
we are requesting funding for:
Medical Supplies and Equipment
We do our best to get medical supplies and equipment donated however there
are some things that need to be purchased new. Supply list attached.
Total Medical Supplies Cost. $5, 000
Dental Supplies
The manpower and facilities to run the dental clinic at COCC are donated,
therefore, the cost for program implementation is extremely low. There are
expendable supplies that need to be purchased before the clinic begins in
November of 2007. The supply list is attached. In addition, we are requesting
$1,500 for denture scholarships. These would be $300-$500 scholarships for
patients who need full or upper restores which would be provided at a
substantial discount through one of our denturist friends. Patients who will be
able to return to work or gain better employment as a result of the treatment
will be given priority.
Dental Supplies and Scholarship Cost. $2,500
As I know you understand, treating the health problems of the working poor-
those most vulnerable due to factors relating to income, language, ethnicity
and geographic isolation- in a volunteer-based environment poses significant
challenges. Properly equipping and training our volunteers is an essential and
ongoing effort to meet our mission to improve the health and well-being of
Deschutes County Residents. We hope you agree and will again decide to
support our continued efforts to compassionately care for those in need.
Respectfully,
NA4,~
