Minutes of LPSCC Meeting Monday, November 3, 2008 Page 1 of 5 Pages 4. Impact Court Judge Sullivan explained that 140 cases have been addressed and over 200 are now set. A Judge was brought in to handle the workload in an attempt to keep these cases current. This program results in significant savings. 5. 11113328 "Karly's Law" This item will be addressed at a later date. 6. Restraining Order Video Janet Huerta and Trish Meyer played the restraining order video, and explained that it has been very helpful in dealing with domestic violence and child abuse legislation as well. They then explained how the program works and how hearings are conducted. The video is available in both English and Spanish. A contested hearing should take no longer than a half-hour. Ernie Mazorol added that this will go on the website, and will be shared with law enforcement personnel. Tim Edwards suggested that it be put on an "Inside Deschutes County" segment. Judge Sullivan said that Christy Miller may include it in her television show. 7. Annual LPSCC Report Ken Hales said that the annual report needs to be formally approved by the Board of Commissioners. The report will be ready to submit in January. Judge Sullivan pointed out that unlike some places, the members of LPSCC and others communicate with each other often, which helps make things work. 8. Children's Report Card Hillary Saraceno presented the report card on the status of Oregon children. She hopes to have specific Deschutes County information soon. The rank of children in Oregon is a "D"; although it is a passing grade, it is not acceptable. That's the grade given for Oregon 2010 benchmarks and progress over the past ten years. This includes an "F" for health care for children, since over 100,000 are not insured. Minutes of LYSCU Meeting Monday, November 3, 2008 Page 2 of 5 Pages She pointed out ways that the grade can be improved. The Commission on Children & Families has done several things locally; for instance, Mary's Place to address child welfare. There was a foundation grant received for CASA and State child welfare that helps to place children in family care instead of stranger care. This program searches and screens for durable family connections. In regard to early childhood care and education, more was recommended for Head Start, and 36 slots were added in Redmond. It still only serves about 60% of eligible children in the County. Addressing affordable childcare and family stability is a slow process. School based healthcare centers are now in La Pine, Bend and Redmond. It is hoped this program can be expanded. There are concerns about children that fall through the cracks for child abuse, usually age 0-3, who are not in school yet. The data as to how Deschutes County compares with the rest of the State is not yet ready. However, the benchmarks show concerns about substance abuse, childcare and other issues. This area has the lowest number of kids ready for school. Childcare is either not affordable or does not exist. This problem can keep good businesses away. Deschutes County is one of the worst ones for substance abuse issues, and Oregon is one of the worst in the country. The attitude it is a "rite of passage" is very damaging. There are also an alarming number of STD's in the County. There are some things that are improving. A target of five to six years has been set to bring the grade up. The biggest challenge is the fiscal part, since prevention programs seem to get cut before anything else. 9. DUII Court Ernie Mazorol gave an update regarding a DUII Court concept. He said that Judge Forte is gearing up for this program and is coordinating a conference with five other counties that are interested. The focus is the safety of the community. This program is grant funded and looks at repeat offenders - getting them treatment instead of locking them up. They require more constant monitoring Minutes of LPSCC Meeting Monday, November 3, 2008 Page 3 of 5 Pages Lt. Nelson stated that for law enforcement, there is an opportunity to save money in the long run by not dealing with repeat offenders; it frees up time to deal with other issues. Judge Sullivan said that Parole & Probation indicated that traditional electronic monitoring is old, and GPS is a better option. This can also tell if there is alcohol in the system. Ken Hales added that the technology changes often. Sometimes there is no Parole Officer supervision. Judge Forte said that the offender can pay for the unit to be on probation, then maintenance fees. The situation varies. Other drugs that can impair driving can be monitored through an option program. It is a problem in this area as there is not enough public transportation, forcing people to drive. Mike Dugan said that he is requesting a budget increase because of the number of DUII's. Impact Court requires more of his Office's time. The grant provides no extra funding for the D.A. or for treatment, just for the monitoring device. 10. Other Business Judge Sullivan projected that there will be approximately 200 more misdemeanors handled this year, but about 100 fewer felonies. However, some filings have more than one count on them. Judge Sullivan said that he would like to hear the local data on the Children's Report Card if available at the next meeting. He would also like to have a discussion of the Measures that did or did not pass at the election. Some will be devastating to local budgets if they pass. Mr. Mazorol said that the new revenue forecast is supposed to be out mid- month and the Governor's budget in early December. It might be possible to have someone from the State fiscal office give an overview of what can be expected. Perhaps the legislative delegation can be invited to a meeting after the election. Being no further issues discussed, the meeting adjourned at 4: 40 p. m.

You, minus a high school diplo- ma, equals a better chance he'll see you in court. The correlation between dropouts and a higher risk for crime shows up in the prison population, where 70 percent of inmates in the U.S. failed to finish high school. Instead of just adding more pris- ons, Foote and a coalition of Ore- gon law enforcement and other agencies are pushing another goal: Get more money for pre-kinder- garten education. 'Foote and police chiefs from Mo- lalla and Canby met last week to urge lawmakers to add $24 million to the federally funded Head Start program in Oregon. The state con- tributes nearly half of the program's budget, but there are gaps. Clackamas County sites always have a waiting list of. at least 200 children, says Sue Elder, director for Clackamas County Children's Commission, which administers the money. In Oregon, only 3.1 percent of el- igible children younger than 3 par- ticipate in early Head Start. About 58 percent of eligible 3- and 4-year- Olds are enrolled in the regular Head Start. The extra money could push that to 80 percent of preschool-age children, says Martha Brooks, state director of Fight Crime: Invest in Kids, a na- tionwide organization. The benefits of Head Start, which is restricted to low-income families, are widely accepted. Research shows that high-quality pre-K pro- grams increase the chances that a child will graduate from high school by as much as 44 percent. Early childhood education can cut the achievement gap between white and African American students. Oregon advocates timed their call for more money to tickle the ears of the next elected 5th Con- gressional District representative, the U.S. Senate candidates and Gov. Ted Kulongoski, whose next state budget is due Dec. 1. Head Start: Program also offers support for parents Contlnued from Page B1 With consistently long waiting lists, a big priority is building new facilities, Elder says. Foote acknowledges that the uncertain economy makes it dif- ficult to ask for more money now, but the cost of not taking care of young children and fami- lies could be even bigger, he says. According to Brooks, a child in the custody of the Oregon Youth Authority costs $65,000 a year. In contrast, Head Start spends about $8,000 per student each year. Students who attend Head Start programs are more ready for kindergarten, Elder says. Wilsonville parent Sally Mader says her daughter, Nata- lie, learned so much in the Head Start program that she was ex- cited and ready for kindergarten this year. "She was so social here," Mader says. "Play is just a huge part of gaining skills for her everyday life." Mader, who volunteers at the Barlow Head Start center three days a, week, says she hopes to work there after finishing her early childhood education de- g-re at Clackamas Community I College. Head Start also comes with many benefits for parents, who get home visits from staff, par- enting advice, food assistance and more. "We're not only preparing the children," Elder says. School resource officers and other police see firsthand the cost in local communities of not getting involved earlier, Molalla Police Chief Jerry Giger says. "It's surprising how many of the young people we know and we see are headed down that road, and there's no way to stop it," Giger says. "We have to be a part of this solution."
