MINUTES OF BUSINESS MEETING
DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 2011

1. Before the Board was Citizen Input.
Chair Baney noted that March 30, 2011 has been declared "Welcome Home
Vietnam Veterans Day" on a national level.
2. Before the Board was Consideration of the Reading and Adoption of a
Proclamation Declaring April as Child Abuse Prevention Month in
Deschutes County.
Barbara Balz gave an overview of the item. Child abuse prevention takes a
whole community to make sure children get the care they need. The KIDS
Center takes on a big role in this, but there are many other agencies that provide
services.
The license plate House Bill is moving forward in the legislature, and the hope
is that it gets passed.
Trees of Hope are being decorated by blue ribbons, representing cases of child
abuse. The ribbons will remain for the month of April.

Elaine Knobbs explained that the KIDS Center is the regional children's
advocacy center, with over 600 children served last year. For fifteen years the

to represent a commitment to supporting these efforts and protecting children in
general.

11. Before the Board were Additions to the Agenda.
Commissioner DeBone spoke with Senator Merkley regarding HUB zones. This is
an issue with small businesses, especially in the forest industry. There are metro
counties and non-metro counties, and Deschutes Count is judged this way, by
census drafts. It won't be until 2013 when they investigate whether the County can
apply. In the meantime, the legislature would have to handle this issue.
Commissioner Unger is trying to get more support for amendments on a timelier
basis.
Chair Baney asked for a one-page letter of support to deliver to legislators.
Commissioner Unger said the HUB zone qualified people from Crook County may
be the first to take advantage of it.
Commissioner Unger facilitated a Deschutes Water Alliance meeting yesterday,
and over forty representatives attended. They discussed how to gather data and the
various scenarios so that all parties can benefit. A lot was accomplished during the
meeting and afterwards when the group was having an informal lunch.

Chair Baney said a legislative concept for the Regional Health Authority was
discussed with medical administrative professionals in the area. They are still
working out the issues of accountability and authority. It is a pilot project, Central
Oregon only, as a legislative concept for a certain number of years. The County
needs to retain authority at some level. AOC is also meeting on this issue, which is
politically charged. If the legislature does not move forward, there might need to
form a nonprofit entity.
The Early Learning Design Team, formed by the Governor, means that Chair
Baney, as an appointee, will need to be in Salem three Mondays a month. The
legislature may not agree, but there is a directive from the Governor in this regard.
This group needs to be in place before July 1.
Being no further discussion, the meeting adjourned at 10:50 a.m.
