MINUTES OF WORK SESSION
DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MONDAY, JUNE 99 2008
Present were Commissioners Dennis R. Luke, Tammy Melton and Michael M.
Daly. Also present were Dave Kanner, County Administrator; Erik Kropp, Deputy
County Administrator; David Inbody, Assistant to the Administrator; and, for part
of the meeting, Timm Schimke, Solid Waste Department; David Givans, Auditor;
Marty Wynne and Terri Maerki, Finance; and Susan Ross, Property and Facilities.
Also in attendance were Ken Hales, Community Justice; Paul Blikstad, Will
Groves and Tom Anderson, Community Development; Scott Johnson, Mental
Health Department; Anna Johnson, Communications; and Mark Pilliod, Steve
Griffin and Laurie Craghead, Legal Counsel. Also present were consultant
Deborah McMann; and media representative Hillary Borrud of The Bulletin.
Chair Luke opened the meeting at 1: 30 p. m.
1. Review of Cost Estimate - Broadcast Equipment in Hearing Room
David Inbody said that the cost for broadcasting meetings is about $40,000 for
equipment, and up to $ 15,000 for the installation. It is less expensive to put
monitors on a tabletop than to get an additional projector and screen. The
Board would still be in the way of the projection onto the screen.
Commissioner Luke said he would prefer to use these funds for other things.
Dave Kanner indicated that the City of Bend pays Bendbroadband, who put in
their equipment. The cable companies will broadcast at no cost as part of the
franchise agreement.
Commissioner Melton stated that many good programs have been cut from the
budget, and she wants to talk about this another time. She also wants to talk
about what is being done in general to communicate with citizens. Mr. Kanner
said that Anna Johnson is doing an analysis regarding what they are now doing
and what can be done in the future.

Mr. Kanner said that video conferencing capability could be put in this building
for about $4,500. He needs to find out if the equipment can be mobile. Susan
Ross stated that she looked at this last year for the Courts. Prices have dropped
since then. She suggested the DeArmond Room as the right location.
Commissioner Luke asked if a survey has been done to find out who would use
it. Mr. Kanner stated that it could save a lot of travel for short meetings. They
really won't know how much it is going to be used until it is installed.
2. Continued Discussion of Proposed Community Grants
The group discussed community grants, and in particular several that have not
yet been recommended for approval. These were MountainStar, Bethlehem
Inn, Veterans' Outreach, and Pot of Gold. In some cases, there was concern
about the lack of a fundraising plan, duplication of services, and activities for
ongoing operations.
Commissioner Melton said there is a fundamental issue of providing $300,000
funding to nonprofits that provide services that the County does not. It is
troublesome to her that some of these dollars are not put into the crime
prevention continuum, including Family Trax and bridge/reentry programs, and
the mental health court expansion. Commissioner Daly stated that crime
prevention funding is being lost; one was the Heart of Oregon Corps, which
works with at-risk youth.
Approval of the community grants will be considered at the June 11 Board
business meeting.
3. Follow-up on Unresolved Budget Issues
• In reference to the Mental Health Seniors Program, Scott Johnson said that
the costs associated with this program could be covered by an increase in
Medicare billings. It is a one-year pilot project, and $25,000 could be
moved out of the Mental Health contingency fund to use for supervising
interns. An FTE is not being added. If it turns out that this is not covered by
Medicare, an update will be presented next year.
The Commissioners concurred that this funding could come out of the
general fund contingency instead.
Minutes of Administrative Work Session Monday, June 9, 2008
Page 2 of 5
Dave Kanner said that EDCO has requested an increase to $110,000; they
were at $100,000 for several years. The City of Bend stayed the same at
$65,000. Redmond puts its funding into the Redmond Economic
Development group. He asked if this should be tied to a percentage of total
video lottery receipts.
Commissioner Luke replied that it is too hard to estimate if it is a
percentage. They do good work. Costs have gone up for them.
Commissioner Melton added that they do good work with the smaller
communities. Commissioner Daly agreed but would like to see other
jurisdictions also increase their share in the future.
Mr. Kanner brought up the Domestic Violence Probation Officer Position.
This is not a new FTE; an existing position would be reclassified. It would
model Parole and Probation after Juvenile, with a half-time director for each.
Bob LaCombe would be reclassified as a deputy director and operations
manager. Ken Hales said that this would allow him to concentrate on
management and others could do more supervising of line supervisors.
Mr. Hales stated that Becky Wanless' position was not filled for a while but
the intent was to do so eventually. He was asked if some of the work could
be contracted out. Mr. Hales replied that they checked into this but they
could not get certified people, just low-grade assistance. There also has to
be supervision in the evening hours. He will look into this further.
In regard to the Visual Thinking Contract, Anna Johnson said that they have
cut down on the number of new segments. Mr. Kanner would like to
eliminate the program as he feels there is more to be gained by direct
mailings to households or other options. He would like to see meetings
broadcast.
Commissioner Melton observed that this show is good for people from out
of the area, and some of the information can be put on the website, utilizing
much of the information they already have.
Kevin Raichl added that they would lose the time slot at the television
station, which may be hard to reestablish.
Minutes of Administrative Work Session Monday, June 9, 2008

Commissioner Daly wants to take some small steps towards televising
meetings. Commissioner Melton would like to see them televised. She
wants to use other ways to get the Board in front of the people.
Commissioner Luke expressed doubts about its effectiveness.
Commissioner Melton is also concerned about neglecting critical services
and basic needs. This funding could go a long way in helping those. Mr.
Raichl pointed out that the segments also publicize those same agencies as
part of the program.
4. Redmond Eastside Transportation Plan.
Deborah McMann of the City of Redmond said she was hired as a consultant to
help work on developing property outside of Redmond. Susan Ross presented
a conceptual plan, subject to change, that has gone through the city and eastside
framing committee.
Ms. McMann said that property within the urban growth boundary should be
planned out to be as marketable and clean as possible. That includes straighter
street grids, and various land uses that are easy to market such as light
industrial, commercial and mixed use employment with 10% retail. Hotels and
other facilities can be included that support the use.
Ms. Ross stated that they are analyzing the 450 acres, concentrating on
intersections that may cause failures. They refined the uses of twelve of them,
and now only one might fail. The whole thing is contingent on the south
reroute of Highway 97. They don't have to build it at this time, but they want
to know a reasonable likelihood and how it might be funded.
Ms. McMann indicated she would like to get this first section handled
Don't have to build it at this time but they want to know reasonable likelihood,
they want to know how it would be funded.
Timm Schimke expressed concern about franchising location to process hog
fuel eventually. Commissioner Melton said residential needs have to be
balanced as well. It was agreed that uses can change over time.
MELTON: Move approval of the framework plan.
DALY: Second.

As has been previously discussed with you on numerous occasions, the FY 2009 budget
will propose setting aside $300,000 for a community grant program, to replace the
County's past practice of making direct grants through the budget process. Following
Board review of the solicitation process and selection criteria, we issued a call for grant
requests. Attached is some information about the recommendations for grant award.
Although the grant money is not officially available until the Board adopts the FY 2009
budget (scheduled for June 23rd), we would like to notify the successful applicants as
soon as possible. I'd therefore propose the following:
• Assuming the Budget Committee leaves the appropriation in place, we would
bring a resolution to the Board accepting the recommendations of the selection
committee;
• Assuming the Board accepts the recommendations, we would send a letter to each
of the successful applicants, notifying them of the Board action (as well as a letter
to the unsuccessful applicants, of course);
• After the budget is adopted, we will forward a grant agreement to each successful
applicant and funds would be available to them after we receive the signed grant
agreement.
I will have this list available for the citizen members of the Budget Committee if they
request it, however I believe the Budget Committee's role is to appropriate the funds in
aggregate, not to review the grant recommendations.
Enhancing the Lives of Citizens by Delivering Quality Services in a Cost-Effective Manner
Deschutes County Community Grant Selection
A total of $286,500 in grants is recommended for award to 24 local non-profit organizations. A
total of 54 organizations applied for the grants requesting more than $1 million in funding.
Selections were made based on an organization's ability to address four specific county
objectives:
• Providing emergency food, clothing and shelter to those who would otherwise go without
these essentials
• Protection for abused and/or neglected individuals who lack resources to otherwise
obtain such protection
• Health care, mental health care and addictions treatment for individuals who lack
resources to otherwise obtain such care
• Other essential services to underserved and indigent populations, especially children and
seniors
In addition, the review committee considered several other criteria, including connection to county
funding objectives and complementing existing county services. The background sheet provided
to potential applicants was reviewed by the Board at the start of this process and is attached. This
is the first year that the Community Grant has been offered; using Video lottery payments from
the state are to fund this program. The selection committee consisted of: Ken Wilhelm, executive
director, United Way of Central Oregon; Jan Griffin, Central Oregon director of TACS (an
organization that consults with and supports nonprofits); Renee Windsor, chair of the Commission
on Children and Families; Dave Inbody, assistant to the county administrator; and Dave Kanner,
county administrator.
The following six organizations were recognized as the highest priority programs and received all
or nearly all of their requested funding:

• Bethlehem Inn ($30,000) - Funds will provide beds, meals, case management,
transportation, accountability-based programming, educational opportunities and

funding from other sources.

Seniors Mental Health Additional Hours
This would be 20 hours of additional staff time on a temporary, hourly basis. This
would not increase our FTE total. We plan to do this as a pilot project where we
would identify goals and measure our progress on these goals. We would plan
to report to the Commissioners and Dave Kanner on our progress toward these
goals.
These additional hours would make the following activities possible:
Supervision of two or three Masters level interns who would be able to provide 10
to 15 hours of billable service per week to the Seniors population. We estimate
we are currently serving less than 10% of the need and we continue to turn away
more people and more seriously involved people. These additional service hours
would greatly benefit the population we serve. Through the training and
supervision received by the interns we are helping to develop much needed
expertise in the area of Seniors Mental Health.
Supervision and Development of a Seniors Peer Mentoring program. These
volunteers would provide service to Mental Health clients with lower acuity but
would be in contact and could alert staff if the individual's condition was
becoming more serious. We believe that this level of intervention will prevent
80% of the people receiving mentor visits from needing more intensive services.
In addition it is a positive partnership with the public, helping to address the
mental health needs in our community with a community response. We would
plan to have 4 to 6 volunteers who could provide a total of 10 to 15 hours of
service per week.
We would use this additional time to coordinate ASSIST program training to
other staff serving Seniors or families caring for seniors to be able to identify
potential suicide issues and to be able to make appropriate referrals. Increasing
the number of people in the community who are aware of and can respond to
suicidal potential will make many people safer. This would also be meeting the
goal of the State's Senior Suicide Prevention Plan which Deschutes County
helped to create.
We would also be able to provide 6 hours of additional direct service to seniors
with Mental Health issues in the community. Again our current services are
woefully inadequate to meet the present need and the rapidly growing need of
seniors in our community. Even these few additional hours could make an
important difference to some of our most vulnerable citizens.
We will be tracking the outcomes of our efforts to see if this pilot project is able to
produce the measurable increases in service that we anticipate.

Dear Commissioner Daly:
I am pleased to inform you that Oregon Housing and Community Services and the State Housing Council
have approved funding for additional affordable housing in your county as part of our Consolidated
Funding Cycle (CFC).
As our Housing as an Economic Stimulus report points out, each one dollar we invest in affordable
housing leverages substantial additional investments averaging five to seven dollars. This combined
investment generates additional economic activity in the community (via the "multiplier effect') equal to
the initial investment. For the affordable housing development in your area, this would mean
$13,401,950 (based on total project costs) of economic activity.
The Department's CFC provides opportunities for developers and sponsors to apply for grants, loans and
tax subsidies to develop housing for lower-income Oregonians. The Spring 2008 round of funding
included the following programs and funding reservation amounts for the development in your county:
• Crest Butte Apartments, 1695 NE Purcell Blvd., Bend, OR 97701. Chrisman Development &
Management Inc. received $100,000 in Housing Trust Funds, $413,823 in LIHTC, $2,500,000 in
OAHTC and $140,342 in LI-WX to construct 52 units of affordable housing for low-income families.
If you would like to learn more about the economic impacts of affordable housing, please review our
Housing as an Economic Stimulus report on our web site at:
http://www.ohcs.oregon. gov/OHCS/docs/HousingEconomic Stimulus.pdf
Please share this information with your associates, colleagues and constituents. We believe that
supporting affordable housing benefits everyone in Oregon and makes our economy stronger and more
sustainable.
Please contact us if you would like more information about this affordable housing development in your
county.

La Pine Park & Recreation Proposes a Kids Summer Program!
La Pine Park & Recreation is planning a summer program for kids.
La Pine Park & Recreation District sees the need for fun, educational and
exciting activities for kids in our community this summer. The target age range for
this program is age 7 -12 years old. The program serves not only our most
precious resource, our kids, but serves a need for affordable childcare for the
working parent in the La Pine area. Thus, the program will be offered from lam
to 6pm Monday through Friday. The charge will generally be $10 per day per
child. Some of the themes will be: Wilderness Survival Week, Music Week,
Natural History Week, Safety Week and so on. Many volunteers will be
participating and offering their expertise on these subjects. In order for the
program to sustain itself, it is necessary to raise funds for advertising, supplies,
educational materials and background checks, labor costs and other operating
funds. The program will begin on June 16, 2008 and will conclude August 29,
2008.
LPRD has approached the business community and has raised $900 to help with
supplies & materials for the program.
The district plans a summer adventure program that is fun, educational and
exciting!
