MINUTES OF WORK SESSION
DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2011
Present were Commissioners Tammy Baney, Alan Unger and Tony DeBone. Also
present were Dave Kanner, County Administrator; Erik Kropp, Deputy County
Administrator; and, for a portion of the meeting, Ken Hales, Corrections;
Marybeth Jaeger, Courts; Nick Lelack, George Read, Peter Gutowsky and Terri
Payne, Community Development; Laurie Craghead, County Counsel; citizen Andy
High and media representative Hillary Borrud of The Bulletin.
Chair Baney opened the meeting at 1: 30 p.m.
1. Review of Specialty Courts.
Chair Baney said that the Specialty Courts are integral to other work being
done. She would like to know what it means if the Courts are no longer able to
function at the same level. Ken Hales gave an overview of what the different
Courts do and how they are financed. He said that he believes that Family
Court, which was thought to be secure, may not be totally. And the idea of a
satellite Juvenile Court was not in the report since it is not officially a Specialty
Court.
Ms. Jaeger said that there is not really an FTE taking care of these cases
because they are bundled together to go before one Judge.
Mr. Hales feels that staff that handles Parole and Probation will end up with
some lower caseload going unsupervised.
Dave Kanner stated that the Governor has talked about taking away some
funding from Family Drug Court. Mr. Hales said the grant comes from the
Community Justice Commission, and the recipient is the region. A coordinator
and the purchase of services are included, such as drug and alcohol services.

Commissioner DeBone asked if this increases capacity at the Courts. Mr. Hales
replied that diversion courts are helpful because some cases that would have
otherwise been deferred or delayed can be handled on a timelier basis.
Sometimes there are grants available specifically for these Courts, and the
County uses some community investment funds for these as well.
Commissioner Unger said there is an unknown but significant value to the
community, by helping families stay together and dealing with problems before
they get worse.
Commissioner DeBone asked if a Veterans' Court would be included. Mr.
Hales said there have been some meetings on this, but the talk is that it would
be funded through the State.
2. Comprehensive Plan Review.
Terri Payne gave an overview of the ideas and goals behind the Comprehensive
Plan. Nineteen statewide planning goals were developed, but only the first
fourteen apply to this region.
Various sections were referenced in the greater planning document.
Each area was to develop a comprehensive plan using the goals as a guide.
LCDC have to acknowledge that the plan meets the intent of the goals. Over
the years, this has gotten very complex, including adding statutes and rules.
They want agencies to think of the big picture affecting their areas on a long-
term basis (twenty years) and to obtain public input. Some policies are almost
like a work plan, highlighting areas that may need attention. Generally, a map
is included to match the text, but is not generally site-specific.
Nick Lelack said the comprehensive plan is the blueprint for what follows.
Zoning has to be consistent with the plan, and decisions are made on that basis.
Laurie Craghead stated that the comprehensive plan is somewhat like a vision
statement. There may be some site-specific issues listed in the comprehensive
plan, but for the most part, it is generalized.
Chair Baney pointed out that the County can be more, but not less, restrictive
than the comprehensive plan.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Wednesday, February 9, 2011
Page 2 of 6 Pages
Ms. Payne said the plan was adopted in 1979 through statewide planning
efforts. Period review is required afterwards, originally every five years, to
make sure local rules are consistent with the plan. The County initially did not
get back to review for almost nine years. She added there were a lot of panel
discussions, hearings and other conversations so that the ideas and comments of
the public and other agencies could be gathered.
The first draft was completed in the fall of 2009. The department then went
back to the public. The Planning Commission was not satisfied with what
resulted and asked for more time regarding specific policies and goals.
Mr. Lelack stated there were many public discussions, but the Planning
Commission asked that public input not be taken at their meetings for a while
so they could concentrate on working with staff.
There are times when the Board decides to take some things out of Code, and
adjustments need to be made.
Commissioner Unger said there is so much public land that influences what is
done with the other lands, so they need to work with the other entities.
Mr. Lelack said partnering with other entities has been helpful. They recognize
local wildfire plans and the National Forest and BLM are able to work on their
land closer to private land.
Commissioner Unger appreciated how some of the outlying communities
developed over time. Some offered services, but were not incorporated. The
La Pine area is now incorporated so the background concentrates on other
unincorporated areas and rural service centers. Background research could be
done, for instance, on communities like Deschutes River Woods.
Peter Gutowsky said that information on the cities is under the urbanization
section. This includes population forecasts, the urban growth boundaries and
the amendments that have been done. The maps have to show the urban growth
boundaries.
Terri Payne said that many people do not get involved in land use issues until
there is a site-specific application. However, at that point a decision may not be
discretionary if the application meets the set requirements. The hope is to get
more people involved in setting the basic policies before something becomes
site-specific after the policies are in place.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Wednesday, February 9, 2011
Page 3 of 6 Pages
Citizen involvement is challenging because most people do not care unless they
feel an issue might impact them directly. A lot of effort has been put into
getting more people involved at the basic level.
Commissioner Unger asked how the areas represented by the Planning
Commission are defined. Ms. Payne said that geographic distribution is
followed, although this is not required. There are diverse areas and needs and
the hope is to include them all. It is found in Code under 2.52.
There is a comprehensive plan map and a zoning map, and they do not exactly
match due to goal exceptions. There is currently no real description of the
designations on the map, so that will be included.
The County does have parklands and some policies need to be developed in this
regard. Ms. Craghead stated that the County is required to retain those
parklands.
Section 1.3 addresses the different sides of the issue - primarily private
property rights and economic development. It is hard to balance these issues to
everyone's satisfaction.
The thought is to try to review the plan every five years.
At this point, the section relating to urbanization and urban growth management
was discussed. The UGB is outside the city limits but it is expected it will be
within the city limits within twenty years and needs to be planned accordingly.
The only city with urban reserve is Redmond.
Rural reserves are a consideration, but it is uncertain if it makes sense for this
area. It basically creates a greenbelt around cities. This is a fifty-year
designation and could involve either public or private lands. Ms. Craghead said
that federal and state entities are supposed to abide by the rules, but do not have
to by law. Mr. Gutowsky stated that in some areas this is used to protect
perhaps the best farmland in an area. It may also make sense if two cities are
growing into each other, keeping them more defined.
Unincorporated communities are another aspect. Some people have wondered
why there are special rules for these areas. These were set by the State. The
communities have been asked for input, and most are satisfied with the way it is
now. Some items have been deleted because they no longer apply. Others were
added and some are controversial, such as the Sunriver sewer expansion project
proposal.

3. Update of Commissioners' Meetings and Schedules.
Mr. Kanner said that Senator Chris Telfer would like to meet with the Board to
discuss the legislative redistricting issue. He is going to try to find dates that
work for her and the Commissioners, and perhaps it can be handled via video
conferencing since it is hard to catch the Senator in town.
Commissioner DeBone said he is touring the District Attorney's Office
tomorrow morning. Chair Baney may accompany him. Commissioner Unger
has an all-day retreat to attend for the Deschutes River Conservancy.
Chair Baney will be attending a meeting regarding the Commission on Children
& Families and its restructuring at the State level. AOC has asked for a group
to evaluate this situation.
Chair Baney and Commissioner Unger will be on Salem on Monday, and Chair
Baney is speaking at a meeting regarding immigration issues on Tuesday.
Commissioner DeBone will be in Sisters at a Chamber event, and has enrolled
in the Sheriff's Academy program.
Discussion occurred regarding setting three evening hearing dates for March to
address the comprehensive plan update. March 15, 17, 29, and 31 are
possibilities.
4. Other Items.
None were offered.
Being no further discussion, the meeting adjourned at 3: 50 p. m.

RE: Specialty Courts
During the budget process last spring, the Board requested a report from staff on the
sustainability of the specialty court programs offered by the Circuit Court here in
Deschutes County. Those courts are: Family Court; Mental Health Court; Family Drug
Court; and Domestic Violence Diversion (DVD) Court. Attached is a memo from
Community Justice Director Ken Hales that describes each of these courts and their
funding sources. Of the four courts, only Mental Health Court and DVD Court receive
direct support from the County, primarily in the form of staff resources. Joining Ken at
the February 9 work session will be Trial Court Administrator Ernie Mazarol.

Re:
Specialty Courts
As requested I have prepared a report on the specialty courts operated by the Deschutes County
courts. Please see the attached. The report describes each court, their purpose, target
population and financing. I am unable to provide recommendations to improve efficiency or
effectiveness. I am able to provide descriptive information on how each court contributes to or
impacts costs to system stakeholders. I am also able to provide an educated guess of the
likelihood of each court's continued operation for the near future.
Pursuant to the Board of County Commissioners interest in the ability of the 11th Judicial
District courts to maintain essential services, a recommendation is provided. I must make clear
that as it is currently structured; the adult parole & probation division cannot finance its
currently approved FTE for felony offender supervision. Any service expansion would need to be
resourced.
I am available to discuss this further at your convenience.

11th Judicial District Specialty Courts Report
January 13, 2011
J. Kenneth Hales, Director Deschutes County Community Justice
The 11th Judicial District (District) operates four "treatment courts". The treatment court
supervisor is Christie Combs. Ms. Combs is an employee of the District. The four treatment
courts are the Family Court, Mental Health Court, Family Drug Court, and the Domestic Violence
Diversion Court. Most commonly the term "specialty court" refers to Family Drug, Mental
Health, and Domestic Violence Diversion Courts and not Family Court for reasons noted below.
Family Court
Family Court has been in operation since 1995. The Family Court Coordinator is Brie Arnette.
Ms. Arnette is a District employee. Currently 1.3 District FTE are dedicated to the Family Court.
Family Court is unlike all other treatment courts because it does not have a specific judge. All
judges do Family Court. There is no specific budget for Family Court. It is financed from the
District's regular operating budget. The primary objective of the Family Court is to coordinate
multiple cases among family members, creating a one-family, one-judge environment. This
allows judges to review family issues in a comprehensive manner, consolidate hearings when
appropriate, and issue non-conflicting orders. Secondly, the Family Court Coordinator utilizes
mediation, negotiation, and conflict management to resolve issues outside of court thereby
reducing frequency and duration of court hearings.
Participating Family Court families must have an open dependency case, an open criminal case,
and another open court case such as domestic relations. Families challenged by substance
abuse, mental health, domestic violence, or sex abuse are priority. At any given time there may
be approximately 95 families with active Family Court cases and the coordinator will be working
with 15 to 20 families. Approximately 150 families are served each year.
The key partners are the Oregon Department of Human Services, Deschutes County Health
Department, Deschutes County Community Justice Adult Parole & Probation Division, CASA, and
the local school district. This Family Court model is research based and has received outside
review from the Center for Policy Research.
Mental Health Court
Mental Health Court has operated since 2002. The Honorable Stephen N. Tiktin presides over
the Mental Health Court. Amber Clegg is the coordinator. Ms. Clegg is an employee of the
Deschutes County Health Department. An annual budget of approximately $182,000 finances
2.75 health department employees; the court coordinator, a case manager, and a therapist and
provides approximately $36,000 for materials and services. Of the $182,000, 54% comes from a
Federal grant, 37% is financed from the Deschutes County Crime Prevention Fund and the
remainder is financed from Health Department reserve funds.
The Deschutes County's Mental Health Court program is a voluntary program with the goal of
increasing access to and engagement in treatment for persons charged with or convicted of a
crime who suffer from an eligible serious mental illness. Court participants are provided access
to services which support the well-being of the participant, thereby reducing the likelihood that
they will commit a new crime. Mental Health Court is held twice a month. The average number
of active participants is 21. The program may serve approximately 60 persons each year. Key
partners are the District Attorney, Circuit Court, Public Defender's Office, Deschutes County
Community Justice Department Adult Parole & Probation Division, law enforcement, and the
jail. In June of 2009 the Bureau of Justice Assistance sent evaluators to Deschutes County for a
site and program review.
Family Drug Court
Family Drug Court has been in operation since 2006. The Honorable Alta J. Brady presides over
this court. District employee Colleen Kruse is the program coordinator. A $252,349 grant from
the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission finances the coordinator position, provides $42,126
toward Deschutes County Mental Health Department employee costs, and provides
approximately $143,000 for other purchased services.
The purpose of the court is to help parents become sober and responsible caregivers, create
environments where children are healthy and safe from abuse and prevent the removal or
promote the return of the child to the family. Participants are parents who are involved with
child welfare, the criminal justice system or both who have a significant current substance abuse
problem and who either have had their children removed or are at risk of having the children
removed from their care as a result of their substance abuse. The court averages 23 participants
and will serve 43 participants each year. Court is held weekly for approximately one hour. This
court receives grant oversight from the Oregon Criminal Justice Council and has received outside
technical assistance.
Key partners are local alcohol and drug treatment providers, the Deschutes County Health
Department, Deschutes County Community Justice Department Adult Parole & Probation
Division, the Oregon Department of Human Services, the District Attorney's Office, indigent
defense attorneys, CASA, and Healthy Families of the High Desert.
Domestic Violence Diversion Court
Domestic Violence Diversion Court has been operating since 2007. The Honorable Michael C.
Sullivan presides over this court. District program analyst Sharrie Owens directs 40% of her time
to coordinate this court and monitors the 35 to 45 court participants not supervised by the
Deschutes County Community Justice Department Adult Parole & Probation Division, which has
one parole and probation officer to supervise approximately 80 court participants. The District
receives no dedicated funding to support this court. Deschutes County Community Justice
Department Adult Parole & Probation Division receives $50,000 from the County's Crime
Prevention Fund to help finance the parole and probation officer assigned to supervise the
Domestic Violence Diversion Court cases.
Court participants are offenders arrested for a misdemeanor or a Class C felony domestic
violence offense which did not involve a weapon or a victim under 14, have no previous history
of person-to-person offenses, and are not under a restraining order, release agreement, or
stalking order at time of the offense. Court is held twice a month for 2 to 2-1/2 hours. The
Domestic Violence Coordinating Council has a Domestic Violence Diversion Supervision Program
subcommittee which reviews program operations.
This court and the supervision of the participating offenders dramatically increased the number
of offenders entering pleas to domestic violence crimes, therefore avoiding cost and time
demanded of the court, the District Attorney's Office, law enforcement agencies, and other
system stakeholders. Domestic violence crimes are the second highest number of crimes in
Deschutes County. Without this court many offenders would escape prosecution and the
prosecution of others would demand additional expense and time of system partners. The quick
resolution of these cases through the Domestic Violence Diversion Court has eliminated the
year-and-a-half long backlog of domestic violence offenders awaiting prosecution or resolution.
Analysis
As noted above Family Court is unique from the other treatment courts because it is a method
of handling cases rather than a specific judge holding court at a specific time. The activities of
Family Court are now routine to and highly integrated into the District's regular business
practices and budget. In the opinion of this writer Family Court will continue and the impact of
future budget reductions on Family Court would be much the same as the impact of budget cuts
on overall District operations. For example, if the court closed its doors certain days this would
impact Family Court but the impact is not specific to Family Court.
The Mental Health Court has specific funding to finance staff and purchase services. The budget
reductions faced by the Oregon Judicial Department and the 11th Judicial District do not directly
impact the operations of and financing for the Mental Health Court because it is financed from
a different source and the expense of that court is borne primarily by the Deschutes County
Health Department.
A $252,349 grant from the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission finances the personnel and
services devoted to Family Drug Court. In the opinion of this writer if grant funding is maintained
the court can continue. If funding is marginally reduced the court could continue as a criminal
drug court which is less expensive than a family drug court.
The specialty court in the greatest jeopardy is the Domestic Violence Diversion Court. The
District receives no financing for Domestic Violence Diversion Court. This court could not exist if
the parole and probation division did assign a parole and probation officer to provide the
supervision. Previously two PPOs supervised these cases. The one remaining PPO is partially
financed by a $50,000 Crime Prevention Fund grant. As with the other courts the financial
impact excludes the judge's time and clerical support, therefore the primary expense to the
District is the 0.4 FTE the court allocates to monitor the Domestic Violence Diversion Court
participants not eligible for Deschutes County Parole & Probation Division supervision. Because
of the District's budget cuts and its shrinking ability to support various court operations it is
almost a certainty that District will discontinue monitoring the court participants not supervised
by the Deschutes County Parole & Probation Division by prior to the beginning of the next fiscal
year.
Recommendation
in the opinion of this this writer the best opportunity for the Board of County Commissioners to
assist the District to maintain essential services is not to provide direct financial aid, but to
provide, to a limited degree, specified basic court services that benefit court operations. The
Board of County Commissioners would assist the District and enhance public safety by having
the Adult Parole & Probation Division of the Deschutes County Community Justice Department
assume responsibility for monitoring all Domestic Violence Diversion Court participants.
Monitoring these additional offenders will allow the Domestic Violence Diversion Court to
maintain its current level of service. Monitoring these additional offenders is not an expansion
of the department's mission or core functions, rather it places the supervision of these
offenders in the agency most expert in that function. This would free up scarce District
resources that could be redirected to meet essential District needs.
