OF WORK SESSION
DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MONDAY, JANUARY 7, 2013
Present were Commissioners Alan Unger, Tammy Baney and Anthony DeBone.
Also present were Tom Anderson, Interim County Administrator, Erik Kropp,
Deputy County Administrator; and, for a portion of the meeting, Judith Ure and
David Inbody, Administration; Scott Johnson, Health Services; Chris Doty,
Road Department; Nick Lelack, Community Development, County Clerk Nancy
Blankenship; Hillary Saraceno, Children & Families' Commission; Ken Hales,
Community Justice; and Public Affairs Counsel representatives Mark Nelson
and Justen Rainey.
Chair Unger opened the meeting at 1:30 p.m.
1. Kick-off Meeting (Conference Call) to Plan and Strategize the County's
2013 State Legislative Priorities.
Mark Nelson gave an overview of the makeup of the legislature. Most
Republicans kept their seats but the Democrats have a majority in each house.
He explained who is on which committees. There was not a lot of change in the
Senate. There are additional committees in the House.
Chair Unger said he is hearing that the legislators plan to work together better
this session than previously. Mr. Nelson noted that it might be a challenge
nevertheless. There are still issues where the legislators are deeply divided,
which will take a lot of work to resolve through compromise.
Chair Unger said that PAC is more conservative than some groups, and asked if
this is going to be an issue. Mr. Nelson stated that they are part of the Oregon
Committee, which supports business. It is not just Republican in nature. He
said he has done a lot of work for both sides of the aisle. Chair Unger stated
that he wants to make sure they are on the same page or whether there are
potential conflicts.

Mr. Nelson said the HeadStart was an issue last year, along with a proposed
beer tax. The same problem might arise regarding tobacco. He has clients that
represent those industries. He stated that if there is legislation that appears to be
a conflict with what the County wants to support or oppose, it needs to be clear
to all.
Justen Rainey worked for Congressman Walden as a field representative, then
in Washington DC. He worked with Senator Ferrioli and others after that. He
has handled the referral process throughout that time, working with committee
chairs.
Mr. Nelson stated that Dave Reinhard is a former Oregonian columnist who has
been with PAC for about four years, and is very knowledgeable, working with
the media in particular.
Mr. Nelson said that legislative representatives will be communicating by
conference call whenever possible.
The group referred to the Governor's Balanced Budget regarding the Oregon
Education Investment Board. The Governor is pushing hard for early learning,
but it is unknown if there will be an appropriation for early childhood
education. The fear is it will all go to the hubs and not necessarily to HeadStart.
About 60% of the HeadStart families are at or below the poverty level.
Commissioner Baney said they need is to get to as many families as possible. It
becomes very political when there are other providers available. Hillary
Saraceno said that they don't have early HeadStart in this area. Commissioner
Baney feels that HeadStart is important, but flexibility is also important so they
can enhance the system here, which might be different from that in other places.
Mr. Nelson added that special education is a program that also should be
protected.
In regard to addictions and mental health, Mr. Rainey said the budget discusses
the different levels of care and need. When talking about CCO's, a hope is to
integrate mental health. Commissioner Baney said that the talk was about
savings through the County Mental Health Department. This is not being seen.
The Governor feels there will be a big savings in this particular field. Mr.
Nelson stated he does not know where these savings would come from. Mr.
Rainey said that no one knows if this process is going to work. Mr. Nelson
noted that they have been working on a hospital tax for years

Ken Hales says they do a time study every five years. This year funds were
added for Community Corrections.
Regarding court fees, a lot more damage might happen to the Justice Courts
than has previously. Legislators were asked to look at the structure of the
Courts, and about $3.8 million in cuts would impact the Counties. Some feel it
will be much higher. The assembly is supposed to monitor how this is playing
out. The counties are the losers in this scenario. He feels that Chief Justice
Muniz seems to want to get rid of the Justice Courts for some reason.
Mr. Anderson said that some counties earmark this money for high profile
activities.
In regard to land use, Mr. Lelack said that the biggest issue is the UGB
proposals. There might be a series of bills separating residential from industrial
and others. The idea is to streamline the UGB process. There is also a
population forecast coming up. The counties are responsible for creating a
twenty-year forecast. If this goes to the State, it will not be appealable.
Commissioner Baney said some counties are not supportive. Mr. Lelack hopes
that whatever bill comes out, that it will continue to honor those who already
have a forecast in place. 1,000 Friends is part of the work group. Per Richard
Whitman of the State, this is a number one priority.
Mr. Rainey said the pilot programs with some counties never happened. What
was negotiated was an executive order that put some of these things in place.
Commissioner Baney said that the County wants to be kept involved in this
process.
In regard to CCO's and health care transformation, Commissioner Baney said
that they have not had conversations about payments and funding. Her next
meeting is Thursday and is supposed to put everything into play per the budget.
The dental piece is huge but some providers are not happy with the payouts.
Scott Johnson added that in the eyes of the State, they think this County is part
of the counties in the Gorge. Regarding pharmaceuticals, it is unknown if there
will be a big push at this time. Commissioner Baney thought that because they
were on the table, they are waiting for the final work. There may be some
savings, but probably not as much as was anticipated. Some counties did not
feel that they wanted anything to do with it. It matters and change is important,
and that means being at the table to speak up.

Chris Doty said he is mostly concerned about payments to the Road fund.
There may be a proposal of vehicles getting more than 50 MPH being taxed to
make up for lost gas tax revenue. Commissioner Baney stated that it should not
be applied the same across the State; that rural Oregon is different.
Mr. Anderson said that departments gave input on what they feel is important
(copy attached). Commissioner Baney stated that there was a lot of discussion
regarding gang-related prevention. She does not want to see these dollars
restricted too much as it is different in different places.
The vaccination of hospital workers seems to be an issue now.
Nancy Blankenship said there was talk about veterans' housing issues, through
the Housing Authority. The biggest problem is increased fees due to recordings
Priority 1 means the Board wants the PAC to use all resources at their disposal.
Priority 2 is important, but someone else is taking the lead.
This work is driven more by priorities than anything else.
Chair Unger stated the County has some partners they can work with, and he
hopes to approach issues as a team or as a larger group whenever possible.
Discussion occurred regarding when to have the conference calls. The group
decided that 7:30 a.m. on Thursdays would work best, every other week for
now, and since Bills will be printed about January 14, they could begin to meet
on January 24.
Commissioner Baney said they would like to have some clarity when dealing
with the District Attorney, Deputy District Attorneys, and their salaries and
staff. It would be good to know who covers what and who has a say.
Commissioner Unger added that the Attorney General's Office is not open to
conversation on this issue. Commissioner Baney noted that this is a State
function, but the County is involved for personnel reasons. It should be one or
the other. It is very labor intensive when it comes to employee relations and
other issues.
Mr. Hales stated that this is a unique situation when compared to others. Some
agencies provide facilities but not employees. He has seen nothing like the
District Attorney situation here, with County oversight of employees but not
over the District Attorney.

2. Other Items.
The Board had a discussion of lottery funds. Mr. Anderson stated that he, Dave
Inbody and Judith Ure discussed alternatives. However, this is more than a
thirty-minute discussion. It will be addressed in full at the January 23 work
session.
The concept is to analyze this once a year to identify priorities, peel off some
givens, and identify special economic development related priorities each year.
Reallocating at this time means a lot to community grant recipients. That is the
area where the Board would have to say no, after saying yes for many years.
Mr. Anderson gave a brief summary of the history of these allocations:
community grants, service partners and discretionary. They will provide an
outline of the allocation process.
Commissioner Baney asked if this big push is because La Pine wants money.
Commissioner DeBone replied that he wants to see this money go into
economic development rather than emergency food, shelter and other services.
The earlier this can happen, the better it is for him.
Commissioner Baney said that if they do things differently and allocate to
cities, it has to be equitable and they need to match it. Video lottery funds came
specifically to the counties from the State. The cities have their own way of
generating funds and doing things.
Commissioner DeBone indicated that La Pine wants $20,000. No one should
not have to assume it will be equitable. This city is in a different position.
Chair Unger noted that other cities may be able to find a match more easily.
However, this sends a message.
Commissioner Baney said she is sensitive to the needs of La Pine, but they
can't just give funds to just one city if they decide cities should get them.
Mr. Inbody stated that he asks the Boards for priorities. In the past they have
used past history. Some can come off the top and a formula used for the
balance.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, January 7, 2013
Page 5 of 7
Mr. Anderson said that there is a business loan program, targeting purely
economic development, so perhaps some can be allocated from that. Cities
could be listed as a priority. The ongoing amount allocated to EDCO can be a
priority. They have historically balanced this in community grants, but they
could maybe bring United Way in as a partner to identify the needs of the
community.
Chair Unger said they need to think this through well and make sure this will
help the agencies that have historically been helped by the County.
Commissioner DeBone stated that La Pine Park and Recreation District asked
for funds before when he was on their Board. Groups can't be on the verge of
falling apart without these funds. Maybe they should just let them go ahead and
fail.
Commissioner Unger noted that there is a lot of value to what many of them do,
and they can do it a lot better with a little help from the County.
The group then discussed a date for the Board retreat.
In regard to changes within the makeup of the Public Safety Coordinating
Council, the Board took action.
BANEY: Move appointment of Michael Sullivan to the third citizen member
position.
DEBONE: Second.
VOTE: BANEY: Yes.
DEBONE: Yes.
UNGER. Chair votes yes.
Being no further discussion, the meeting adjourned at 3:20 p.m.

.ISSUES DISCUSSED:
• lmpact of House Bill 2712 on municipal and county courts
• House Bill 2712 was intended to be revenue neutral as it relates to the revenue going to state and local
govemarent
• Difficulty in determining if the revenue going to state and local government is approximately the same now as it
was prior to House Bill 2712
EFFECT OF CODEVU ITEE AMENDMENT: Clarifies that the unitary assessment applies to offenses committed
prior to January 1, 2012. Stipulates how fines are imposed upon a person for violating a mass transit ordinance after
collections are deposited to both the state Criminal Fine Account and the mass transit district Clarifies that the division
of fines collected for violation of a mass transit district ordinm = applies to circuit courts.
BACKGROUND: The 2011 Legislative Assembly enacted House Bill 2712 that did, among other things, set forth new
limits on the maximum and minimum fines associated with the different categories of violations, and how the proceeds
from the fines are to be allocated among and between the state general fund and local government It also eliminated the
state and comity assessments that were added on to the base fine. These additional amounts often caused confusion with
the public.
The allocation of revenues generated by the prosecution of violations between the state general fi and and the local
government entities is dependent upon many factors including the court where the matter is prosecuted and the law
enforcement agency prosecuting the matter. One of the underlying premises of the bill was to, as much as possible,
keep the allocation of fiords between the state general fund and local goverment the same as it was prior to House Bill
2712. This reportedly was not easy to do with the vagueness associated with prior law and the different interpretations
di$erent government entities applied in carrying out its provisions.
House Bill 2712 repealed or amended over one-hundred statutes in its wed and thirty-three sections and one-
hundred seventeen pages. One provision stated that in any criminal action in which a fine is unposed, the state general

fund receives the first $60 or the amount of the fine if the amount collected is less than $60. Several local courts have
contended that this provision reduces the revenue they received compared to what they received prior to the bills
enactment. Also, they contend that the language of the bill extended to parldng tickets issued in winter recreational
parking areas, fines for bicycle operators, scooter operations, skateboarders or iniine skaters not wearing helmet this
provision requiring the state to receive payment first.

A PILOT PROGRAM FOR REGIONAL FARM AND FOIST LAND

Oregon#s land' use pwam has sucomftlly conserved important faun and forest

the lands devgted to farm or forest uses in;Oregon in the-mid 1980s are still

lost substanx at amounts of farm andforest 'lands to urban and tural Vrawl.
Rural developments, if not carefully managed, can lead to substantial public costs.
The major driver bf tho high (and increasing) oost of fighting wildfire is tho cost of

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
December 2012
Oregon Economic Forecast
Current Conditions
As 2012 winds down, Oregon's economic expansion persists, but remains stuck in a low gear.
Growth continues to come in fits and starts - a strong quarter or two followed by a weak quarter or
two - with the underlying trend remaining slow and steady. Real GDP has averaged just over 2
percent growth since the expansion started, with the nation adding approximately 150,000 jobs per
month so far in 2012. The slowdown seen in recent months can largely be attributed to the global
manufacturing cycle beginning to wane. Future orders and current shipments have softened across a
wide range of Oregon's products.
The good news is that the housing recovery is here to help drive economic growth. Even so,
housing-related production is just now beginning to improve from its recessionary lows, and has a
long way to go before the level of production approaches anything considered a normal year for
housing.
Although sales growth has slowed, profitability remains near record highs for many businesses. For
households, signs are both encouraging and worrisome. Job growth has been weak, with the
unemployment rate coming down very slowly. Wage growth has been even softer from a historical
perspective. Average wages are growing at a 1.5 percent rate among production and non-
supervisory employees and just under 2.0 percent for all employees overall. In good years, like the
late 1990s or even mid-2000s, wage growth reached 4 percent per year.
Given such weak growth, consumers - like the economy as a whole - remain vulnerable to shocks.
Encouragingly, inflation remains in check for now, and households are becoming more confident
about their future prospects. Consumer sentiment recently hit levels not seen since before the Great
Recession suggesting that recent gains in spending may be sustainable going forward.
Outlook
Expectations call for growth in the coming few months to look like the growth we have been
experiencing: slow. Although the fundamentals underlying economic growth remain strong,
uncertainty continues to weigh on both businesses and households. Given weakness among our
leading trading partners, and an uncertain federal policy environment, many firms are reluctant to
take the risk of expanding their operations despite ample resources and profits. Similarly,
households remain reluctant to make large purchases until their future job prospects become more
certain.
The international slowdown is a drag on the U.S. economy. Historically, however, the U.S. has not
fallen into recession due to global weakness alone. Of course, with increased globalization among
U.S. businesses, ties to growth in Europe and Asia are now stronger than ever before.
-1-
The uncertainty of federal policy is weighing on both business and consumer decisions, delaying
their investments and therefore slowing growth. The so-called fiscal cliff has the potential to derail
the expansion and send the economy back into recession. The combination of planned spending cuts
and allowing tax rates to rise amounts to between 3 and 4 percent of GDP according to most
estimates. While these impacts are unlikely to hit simultaneously and in full force precisely on
January lst, 2013, their impact will be significant for an economy growing at just a 2 percent rate.
Although the recent national elections did little to change the composition of federal policymakers,
there is a renewed sense of optimism that a budget deficit deal can be reached in the coming
months. Should a deal in fact be reached by the middle of next year, the underlying economic
conditions are primed for some acceleration in growth.
As one example, emergency unemployment insurance benefits are scheduled to expire January 1st,
and will impact consumer spending. In Oregon, the average unemployment check for individuals on
the extension programs is currently about $300 per week. Should these benefits expire, estimates
are that 26,000 Oregonians will lose these payments at the end of the year. This amounts to a loss of
over $30 million in January alone. While the best way forward would certainly be to increase the
number of jobs, a short term loss of this magnitude would be a step backward.
Beyond these near-term issues, the stage is set for stronger growth should the economy manage to
successfully navigate the next few months. The primary reason for optimism is the strength of
balance sheets for businesses and consumers alike. With financing costs low and corporate profits
high, a great deal of spending and investment stands to be unleashed as soon as some of the
uncertainty that is obscuring the near-term outlook is cleared away. Although household net worth
is not back to pre-recession levels, it has been increasing strongly. Home prices are again rising, and
stock markets have regained much of their recessionary losses. Delinquencies on consumer debt are
down across the board (auto loans, student loans, credit cards, etc.). Even rates of mortgages 1 or 2
payments behind have fallen to historically low levels. Only payments for mortgages 90+ days past
due remain stubbornly high. All told, many businesses and consumers now have the resources with
which to drive growth, and are lacking only the courage to do so.
The baseline (most likely) employment forecast remains essentially unchanged. Slow growth will
continue to be the norm. Oregon is not expected to recover all of the jobs it has lost until the end of
2014-seven years after the recession began.
Summary of Recent Trends
Getting a handle on the health of Oregon's labor market is being somewhat complicated by
technical issues within the underlying payroll jobs data. Technical issues aside, employment in
Oregon continues to increase at a slow, subdued pace so far in 2012, approximately in line with the
gains seen at the U.S. level. After a strong start to the year, with employment increasing nearly 3
percent on an annual basis in the first quarter, employment gains have slowed the past two quarters
in Oregon.
The employment data discussed in this report is adjusted for two important technical purposes:
seasonality and the upcoming benchmark revisions'. Given the relative strength of employment as
1 Each year the Oregon Employment Department and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics revise the employment data -
a process known as benchmarking. The current establishment survey (CES), also known as the monthly payroll survey,
-2-
measured by data collected through the unemployment insurance program, it is clear that
preliminary payroll job counts will be revised upward significantly when benchmark adjustments
are made next year. Such preliminary revisions to the payroll survey data are regularly published in
some states, and are currently a topic of discussion at the Oregon Employment Department.
After adjustments, the data reveals a state that continues to expand slowly, adding approximately
25,000 jobs in the past year (1.5% through 201283). Unadjusted data suggest Oregon has been
closer to stagnating, adding only 17,800 jobs in the past year (1.1%).
Over the past year, job growth has been widespread across industries, with only information and
financial service firms seeing small declines in the private sector. Public sector employment has
continued to fall. However, the losses are lessening in recent months. The largest gains have been in
professional and business services, leisure and hospitality, and retail trade which increased by
approximately 7,800, 3,200, and 3,600 jobs respectively, from 201lg3 to 201283. Health services
and construction each added between 2,000 and 3,000 jobs over the past year. These five main
industry groups account for approximately 60 percent of all private sector gains, with
manufacturing accounting for another 16 percent, or 4,400 jobs. Within manufacturing, gains were
led by durable goods, particularly metals and machinery.
Demographic Forecast
Oregon's population count on April 1, 2010 was 3,831,074. Oregon gained 409,550 persons
between the years 2000 and 2010. The population growth during the decade of 2000 to 2010 was
12.0 percent, down from 20.4 percent growth from the previous decade. Oregon's rankings in terms
of decennial growth rate dropped from 11th between 1990-2000 to 18th between 2000 and 2010.
Slow population growth during the most recent decade due to double recessions probably cost
Oregon one additional seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Actually, Oregon's decennial
population growth rate during the most recent decade was the second lowest since 1900. The
slowest, actually negative, was during the 1980s when Oregon was hit hard by another recession.
As a result of recent economic downturn and sluggish recovery, Oregon's population is expected to
continue a slow pace of growth in the near future. Based on the current forecast, Oregon's
population will reach 4.25 million in the year 2020 with an annual rate of growth of 1.03 percent
between 2010 and 2020.
Oregon's economic condition heavily influences the state's population growth. Its economy
determines the ability to retain local work force as well as attract job seekers from national and
international labor market. As Oregon's total fertility rate remains below the replacement level and
deaths continue to rise due to ageing population, long-term growth comes mainly from net in-
migration. Working-age adults come to Oregon as long as we have favorable economic and
is benchmarked against the quarterly census of employment and wages (QCEW), a series that contains all employees
covered by unemployment insurance. The monthly CES is based on a sample of firms, whereas the QCEW contains
approximately 96 percent of all employees, or nearly a complete count of employment in Oregon. The greatest benefit
of the CES is the timeliness - monthly employment estimates are available with only a one month lag - and these
estimates are reasonably accurate. However the further removed from the latest benchmark, the larger the errors. The
QCEW is less timely as the data is released publically approximately 3-4 months following the end of the quarter. The
greatest benefit of the QCEW is that is a near 100 percent count of statewide employment. For these reasons, the CES is
usually used to discuss recent monthly employment trends, however once a year the data is revised to match the
historical QCEW employment trends. The last month of official benchmark data is June 2011. The QCEW is currently
available through June 2012, thus the preliminary benchmark used here covers the July 2011- June 2012 period.

employment environments. During the 1980s, which included a major recession and a net loss of
population, net migration contributed to 22 percent of the population change. On the other extreme,
net migration accounted for 73 percent of the population change during the booming economy of
1990s. This share of migration to population change declined to 56 percent in 2002 and it was
further down to 32 percent in 2010. As a sign of slow to modest economic gain, the ratio of net
migration-to-population change will increase gradually and will reach 72 percent by the end of the
forecast horizon. Although economy and employment situation in Oregon look stagnant at this time,
migration situation is not expected to replicate the early 1980s pattern of negative net migration.
Potential Oregon out-migrants have no better place to go since other states are also in the same boat
in terms of economy and employment.
Age structure and its change affect employment, state revenue, and expenditure. Demographics are
the major budget drivers, which are modified by policy choices on service coverage and delivery.
Growth in many age groups will show the effects of the baby-boom and their echo generations
during the period of 2010-2020. It will also reflect demographics impacted by the depression era
birth cohort combined with diminished migration of the working age population and elderly
retirees. After a period of slow growth during the 1990s and early 2000s, the elderly population
(65+) has picked up a faster pace of growth and will surge as the baby-boom generation continue to
enter this age group. The average annual growth of the elderly population will be 3.9 percent during
the forecast period as the boomers continue to enter retirement age. However, the youngest elderly
(aged 65-74) will grow at an extremely fast pace during the forecast period, averaging 4.9 percent
annual rate of growth due to the direct impact of the baby-boom generation entering the retirement
age. Reversing several years of shrinking population, the elderly aged 75-84 will start a positive
growth as the effect of depression era birth-cohort will dissipate. A faster pace of growth of
population in this age group will begin once the baby-boom generation starts to mature. The oldest
elderly (aged 85+) will continue to grow at a moderately but steady rate due to the combination of
cohort change, continued positive net migration, and improving longevity. The average annual rate
of growth for this oldest elderly over the forecast horizon will be 1.4 percent.
As the baby-boom generation matures out of oldest working-age cohort combined with slowing net
migration, the once fast-paced growth of population aged 45-64 will gradually taper off to below
zero percent rate of growth by 2012 and will remain at slow or below zero growth phase for several
years. The size of this older working-age population will remain virtually unchanged at the
beginning to the end of the decade. The 25-44 age group population is recovering from several
years of declining and slow growing trend. The decline was mainly due to the exiting baby-boom
cohort. This age group has seen positive growth starting in the year 2004 and will increase by 1.2
percent annual average rate during the forecast horizon. The young adult population (aged 18-24)
will change only a little over the forecast period and remain virtually unchanged for most of the
years into the future. Although the slow or stagnant growth of college-age population (age 18-24),
in general, tend to ease the pressure on public spending on higher education, college enrollment
typically goes up during the time of high unemployment and scarcity of well-paying jobs when even
the older people flock back to college to better position themselves in a tough job market. The
growth in K-12 population (aged 5-17) will remain low which will translate into slow growth in
school enrollments. This school-age population has actually declined in size in recent years and
will grow in the future at well below the state average. The growth rate for children under the age of
five will remain below zero percent in the near future and will see positive growth only after 2013.
Although the number of children under the age of five will decline slightly in the near future, the
demand for child care services and pre-Kindergarten program will be additionally determined by the
labor force participation and poverty rates of the parents. Overall, elderly population over age 65
-4-
will increase rapidly whereas population groups under age 65 will experience slow growth in the
coming decade. Hence, based solely on demographics of Oregon, demand for public services geared
towards children and young adults will likely to increase at a slower pace, whereas demand for
elderly care and services will increase rapidly.
Revenue Forecast
The filing season for personal income taxpayers who requested extensions came and went this year
without any major revenue surprises on either the upside or downside. With most tax returns now
having been received, the slow-growth year that was expected has largely come to pass.
Although growth in taxes collected out of wages and salaries will likely remain slow for several
months, taxes on investment income are expected to post healthy gains in the near term. Should
stock prices and other investments be able to hold their value through the end of December, Oregon
can expect to see significant growth in tax payments when 2012 returns are filed in April. Not only
have many investments been profitable this year, but many investors are being advised to cash in
their gains for tax purposes before the end of the year in anticipation of possible tax increases at the
federal level in 2013.
The outlook for the 2013-15 biennium calls for some modest improvement in revenue growth.
However, state revenue collections will still likely fail to keep pace with the growing cost of
providing public services. Along with underlying economic conditions, tax revenue growth in
Oregon is expected to fall in between what we have become accustomed to during past periods of
economic expansion, and the slow gains we have seen in recent years.
The primary risk facing the near-term revenue forecast is the uncertain future of the nationwide
economic expansion. Should federal government austerity or the slowdown in Europe and Asia
derail the U.S. economy, Oregon tax collections will come in far below the forecast.
Revenue growth in Oregon and other states will face considerable downward pressure over the 10-
year extended forecast horizon. As the baby boom population cohort works less and spends less,
traditional state tax instruments such as personal income taxes and general sales taxes will become
less effective, and revenue growth will fail to match the pace seen in the past.
2011-13 General Fund Revenue
Growth in general fund revenues has been slow in recent months. Personal income taxes are
growing due to a mix of both labor and investment income. However, gains from labor income
slowed in the fall as the job market cooled off. Corporate excise taxes remain stable after dropping
sharply early in the biennium.

Collections of most major revenue types have closely matched expectations in recent months. With
the economic forecast tracking closely as well, the revenue outlook for the 2011-13 biennium
remains largely unchanged from the September 2012 forecast. The forecast for General Fund
revenues for 2011-13 is now $13,961 million. This represents an increase of $40 million (0.3%)
from the September 2012 forecast.
The forecast for the 2011-13 biennium is now $71 million below the Close of Session forecast.
Given the strong employment gains seen in early 2011, the Close of Session forecast is more
optimistic than other versions produced before or since. Nevertheless, a strong April 2013 of tax
collections would put us back on track with the Close of Session's relatively optimistic outlook. In
the unlikely event we see a revenue surge similar to what occurred at the peak of the technology and
housing booms, the personal income tax kicker may yet come into play.
Personal Income Tax
Personal income tax collections were $1,488 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, $7.5
million (-0.5%) below the latest forecast. Compared to the year-ago level, total personal income tax
collections grew by 2.5% relative to a forecast that called for 3.1% growth. More recently, personal
income tax collections have come in higher than forecast during the current quarter, bringing them
back in line with the September outlook.
Personal income tax collections are expected to remain weak until the April 2013 filing season
when the gains seen in stock markets this year are realized for tax purposes. Further taxable capital
gains realizations will be generated by taxpayers attempting to move their assets ahead of potential
federal tax increases in 2013.
-6-
Corporate Excise Tax
Corporate excise tax collections equaled $113.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013,
$13.2 million above the September forecast. Compared to one year ago, net corporate receipts were
up 8.2% with the forecast calling for an 4.4% decline.
Corporate tax collections are expected to continue to decline throughout fiscal year 2013, as they
remain very large from an historical perspective. Very strong growth is expected during the 2013-15
biennium, since corporate tax collections are prone to boom-bust cycles. However, growth rates,
while large, will remain less than half of what has been seen during recent profit booms.
Other Sources of Revenue
All other General Fund revenues are expected to total $1,130.4 million for the 2011-13 biennium,
an increase of $8.6 million (0.8%) relative to the September forecast. Most revenue sources are
tracking ahead of the previous forecast, including large contributions from estate taxes, judicial-
related revenues and liquor apportionment. Tobacco taxes have been lowered slightly to match
recent collections.

General Fund revenues will total $15,517 million in 2013-15, an increase of 11.1% percent from the
prior period, and $62 million (0.4%) above the September forecast. In 2015-17, revenue growth is
expected to remain stable at 11.0%, followed by slower rates of 9% to 10% in subsequent biennia.
The slowdown in long-run revenue growth is largely due to the impact of demographic changes.

Joint Interim Committee on
State Courts Revenue Structure
Report to 2013 Legislature
Executive Summary
In 2011, the 76`s Legislative Assembly enacted House Bill 2710. The measure established a ten-
member Joint Interim Committee on State Courts Revenue Structure (the Committee) to review all
state court fees and fines; monitor all legislation passed by the Seventy-sixth Legislative Assembly
relating to court fees and fines, and evaluate the effect of the exercise of judicial discretion on
revenues generated by fines.
The principles that the Committees must consider in its review and evaluation are:
a) Fee and fine amounts should be transparent and easy to access and administer.
b) Fee and fine amounts should be equitable and fair.
c) The court fee structure should not adversely impact access to justice.
d) The court fee structure should not adversely affect judicial authority to waive or defer fees or
to establish a payment plan for litigants.
e) The statutory fee structure and fee amounts should be uniform across this state.
f) All state court revenue sources should be easily identifiable and reflected in statute.
g) The court fee structure should generate biennial revenue commensurate with the end-of-
session revenue forecast.
h) Fees and fines should be a fixed dollar amount.
i) Surcharges and assessments should not be imposed on fees or fines.
j) Fines for violations should be uniform in state courts, justice courts and municipal court.
k) Revenues from fees and fines should not be dedicated.
1) Give due consideration to the fairness of those fees and the fmancial burdens placed on the
parties who are ultimately responsible for the payment of the fees.
The Committee was required to issue a report, identifying statutes and court practices that do not
conform to identified principles and recommend changes.
Findines Reeardine Civil Fee and Criminal Fine Structure
The current civil and criminal court revenue structures meet virtually all objectives set forth by the
Legislature. The structures have met the objectives by:
• Simplifying the statutory fee and fine structure by reducing the number and types of fees and
fines;
• The statutory fine structure and fee amounts are uniform across this state.
• Eliminating all "add-on" fees or assessments;
• Increasing the transparency of fees and fines by placing them in statute, with the exception of
a limited number of fees and fine schedule established by Chief Justice Order;
• Reducing public and legal practitioners' transaction costs by making fees more predictable
and consistent;
• Accruing revenues to the General Fund, with the exception of the revenue dedicated to Legal
Aid Services;
• Distributing revenue through the budgetary process, with the exception of the statutory
distribution for Legal Aid Services;
• Creating structures that are compatible with the Oregon eCourt Program;
• The court fee structure has not adversely affected judicial authority to waive or defer fees or
to establish a payment plan for litigants; and
• The court fee structure should generate biennial revenue commensurate with the end-of-
session revenue forecast.

Recommendations: CivU Filing Fee Structure
Monitor and review the following 7 civil filing fees during the 2013 Legislative Session:
1. Adoption, petition for first appearance;
2. Domestic Relations, motion after entry of dissolution, annulment, or separation judgment;
3. Domestic Relations, response to modification motion;
4. Probate, filing annual or final accounting fee in probate or conservatorship proceedings;
5. Guardianship, initial filing;
6. Settlement Conference Party Fee, before a judge when proceeding in civil case; and
7. Foreign Judgment Fee.
Additionally, (a) the 2013 Legislative Assembly should monitor and review the identified civil
filing fees to determine the impact on the ability of low and middle income people to access the
Courts; and (b) the Oregon Judicial Department should continue to provide periodic reports to the
Legislative Assembly during the 2013 Legislative Session and during the 2013-15 biennium on
the utilization of fee waivers and deferrals
Recommendations; State Court Facilities and Security & County Law Libraries
1. Support for court facilities and security should continue as an allocation from the Criminal
Fine Account (CFA), and the priority payment on fine revenue to the CFA should be
continued to replace portions of the County Assessment that previously funded the programs;
2. The 2013 Legislative Assembly should review and consider proposals from the Chief Justice
for the use of monies in the State Court Facilities and Security Account;
3. The 2013 Legislative Assembly should develop options for strategic funding partnerships
with county governments to address urgent capital improvement needs of court facilities;
4. Support for county law libraries and county law library services should continue through an
appropriation from the General Fund; and
5. The 2013 Legislative Assembly should review a proposal developed by the Oregon Library
Association for the establishment of a statewide law library service program to expand and
ensure online access to legal resources for pro se litigants.
Recommendations: Criminal Fine $tM&Wr-e,
1. The levels of the CFA allocations in House Bill 2712 do not replace all of the jail assessment
revenues previously provided to local courts. As a result, the dedicated funding to counties
for jail operations in the current biennium is estimated to be $3.8 million less than what
counties would have received under the old countyjail assessment. To correct this, the
Committee recommends that the 2011-13 biennium CFA allocation to counties be increased
by $3.8 million, to correct this funding shortfall before the end of the current fiscal year.
2. The 2013 Legislative Assembly should review and consider a different division between the
state and local governments regarding the increase in priority payment and any changes be
applied to the 2011-13 biennium. The impact of the priority status on the required $60
payment to the state from fine collections should be further reviewed to quantify its
consequences to local government and the state.
3. The allocation to the Law Enforcement Medical Liability Fund was also set at a level that did
not replace what the Fund had been receiving from justice and municipal courts. The amount
of this shortfall is approximately $600,000. The Committee does not recommend an
allocation adjustment for the current biennium, however, the allocation for the 2013-15
biennium should be increased to provide support to the Fund at historic levels.
In 2011, the 76th Legislative Assembly enacted House Bill 2710. The measure updated and
simplified the statutory revenue and distribution structure for civil filing fees and assessments.
The measure eliminated all "add-on" fees or assessments and distributed revenue through the
budgetary process to those entities previously funded by dedicated filing fees with the exception
of Legal Aid Services. It established a direct $11.9 million distribution to Legal Aid Services
from a General Fund account through the Oregon Judicial Department. In addition, House Bill
2710 established the Joint Interim Committee on State Courts Revenue Structure.
In 2011, the 76`h Legislative Assembly enacted House Bill 2712. The measure updated and
simplified the statutory revenue and distribution structure related to criminal fines, assessments,
and other financial penalties imposed upon conviction for felonies, misdemeanors, and violations
other than parking infractions. All presumptive fine amounts (Class A Violation - Class D
Violations) were put into statute, and judicial discretion was increased regarding the final fine
amount that can be imposed, allowing up to 50 percent reduction below statutory fine amount.
The measure required local justice, county, and municipal courts to remit $60 to the state
Criminal Fine Account, in lieu of the Unitary Assessment and the County Assessment that were
both eliminated. In addition, the bill established Criminal Fine Account allocations to fund
programs previously supported from assessment revenues, including from the local court security
and the State Court Facilities Security Account components of the former County Assessment.
Joint Interim Committee on State Courts Revenue Structure, House Bill 2710 (2011)
The Committee consisted of three members of the Senate (Sen. Floyd Prozanski, Co-Chair, Sen.
Chip Shields, and Sen. Doug Whitsett) appointed by the President of the Senate and three
members of the House of Representatives (Rep. Phil Barnhart, Co-Chair, Rep. Wayne Krieger,
and Rep. Andy Olson) appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives. There were
four non-voting liaisons appointed to the Committee. The members were: Douglas Bray,
Multnomah County Trial Court Administrator, appointed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court; Commissioner Deborah Kafoury, appointed by the Association of Oregon Counties;
Attorney Christopher Kent, appointed by the Oregon State Bar; and Randall Tosh, Attorney for
the City of Salem, appointed by League of Oregon Cities.
House Bill 2710 specified the interim committee objectives as follows:
The interim committee shall conduct a review of all state court fees and fines. In
conducting this review, the committee shall consider the following principles:
(a) Fee and fine amounts should be transparent and easy to access and administer.
(b) Fee and fine amounts should be equitable and fair.
(c) The court fee structure should not adversely impact access to justice.
(d) The court fee structure should not adversely affect judicial authority to waive
or defer fees or to establish a payment plan for litigants.
(e) The statutory fee structure and fee amounts should be uniform across this
state.
(f) All state court revenue sources should be easily identifiable and reflected in
statute.
(g) The court fee structure should generate biennial revenue commensurate with
the end-of-session revenue forecast.
(h) Fees and fines should be a fixed dollar amount.
(i) Surcharges and assessments should not be imposed on fees or fines.
0) Fines for violations should be uniform in state courts, justice courts and
municipal court.
(k) Revenues from fees and fines should not be dedicated.
In conducting the review and making recommendations relating to the court fee structure, the
committee shall give due consideration to the fairness of those fees and the financial burdens
placed on the parties who are ultimately responsible for the payment of the fees.
Upon completion of the review, the Committee was required to identity statutes and court
practices that were not in conformity with the principles and issue a report not later than January
1, 2013. The report described statutes and court practices that did not conform to the principles
and recommended changes. A copy of the report was delivered to the House Committee on
Judiciary, the Senate Committee on Judiciary and the Joint Committee on Ways and Means.
The Committee adopted the Joint Interim Committee on State Courts Revenue Structure work
pLlan and work plan tracker. The Joint Interim Committee on State Courts Revenue Structure
work plan tracker outlined the overarching policy objective, key policy questions, and decision-
making parameters upon which the Committee based their final recommendations
The overarching policy objective was:
• Oregon should have a Judicial Branch revenue and fee structure that is equitable,
understandable, and transparent and stable, to ensure access to justice and to ensure that
the cost using the state courts is appropriate to the benefits received.
The review process involved the Committee holding public hearings to receive testimony from
members of law enforcement community, the Oregon Judicial Department (OJD), local
governments and local courts, legal practitioners, and users of the judicial system. The
Committee sought input from constituencies and stakeholders of the civil and criminal judicial
systems in order to answer key policy questions regarding the implementation and impact of the
current civil filing fee and criminal fine structure. The questions stemmed from four areas related
to the implementation:
• What has been the impact on the revenue structure?
o Has General Fund support of the Judicial Branch increased?
o Has revenue generated since implementation of 2011 legislation been
commensurate with revenue forecasts?
o Does all revenue accrue to distinct General Fund accounts?
• What has been the impact on the statutory revenue structure?
o Are all state court revenue sources easily identifiable in statute?
a Are all fees fixed dollar amounts?
o Are there any fee "add-ons" or surcharges?
• What are the sources of revenue?
o How do the types and levels of fees and fines impact access to justice and equity?
o What is the impact of increased judicial discretion?
o Does the fee structure adversely affect judicial authority to waive or defer fees?
• How is revenue utilized?
5
o Is any of the revenue dedicated?
o Are revenue distributions easy to identify and administer?
o Is revenue distributed through the legislative budget process?
o What is the level of funding provided to entities funded by judicial revenue?
How are the civil and criminal structures administered?
o Are fee and fine structures uniform throughout the state?
o Are fee and fine amounts transparent and easy to administer?
o How have new civil and criminal structures impacted state and local courts?

Civil Rtv__enae 5,tructure Review
The Joint Interim Committee on State Courts Revenue Structure held its first meeting of the
2011.2012 Interim on Monday. May 21" from 11:00 AM -1:00 PM at the Oregon State Capitol
in Salem. Since this was the Committee's first meeting, the first tasks were the adoption of
committee rules and work plan and the introduction of the members.
John Borden, Legislative Fiscal Office, summarized, the work plan, the work plan tracker;
identified the charge of the Committee; key policy questions; and evaluation methodology.
The work plans were adopted by the Committee.
In addition, Mr. Borden addressed a key policy review question, "Is the Judicial Branch
primarily supported by the General Fund?" (Exhibit). He explained that 95.8%of the Judicial
Branch funding comes from the General Fund, which is, roughly, 4.2% of the General Fund. Of
the General Fund monies allocated to the Judicial Branch, roughly two-thirds or between $225-
250 million are monies generated by civil and criminal fees/fines and the remainder is "raw"
General Fund money.
Civil EW11P FeelIMpkMentation
Review 2012 Legislative Session Changes
Marisa James, Office of Legislative Counsel, provided the Committee a memorandum
summarizing the changes to the civil filing fee structure made during the 2011 and 2012
Legislative Sessions (Exhibit.
Civil Filing Fee Revenue Forecast
Josh Lehner, Office of Economic Analysis, provided a memo that gave an overview of the
General Fund Court Revenue forecast Exhibit . The revenue forecast was provided with the
caveat that at that time, revenue collection data was available through March 2012 and the
reforms have effectively been in place for either 3 or 6 months and thus the full revenue impact
remains unknown. The State Court Fee revenue is the sum of civil filing fees (68% of the
projected total revenue) and fees assessed on offense cases and the state's share of parking fines
(32%). Using the latest revenue forecast, June 2012, State Court Fee Revenues were projected to
total $128.0 million for 2011-13.
The structural revenue reforms implemented by House Bill 2710 (2011) have led to revenues
being in a transitory state, as the system adjusts to the changes. Specifically how much revenues
will change and in which categories the changes occur, is still somewhat of an open ended
question as not enough time has passed from implementation to conduct a full assessment.
Recent revenue collections for State Court Fees have significantly outpaced both the underlying
revenue forecast and the House Bill 2710 impact statement estimates.
David Moon, Oregon Judicial Department, provided the Committee a memo explaining how
changes in revenue distribution and flow of state court fees into the General Fund account for the
increase in State Court Fee Revenue projections (Exhibit). In the General Fund State Court Fee
revenue forecast, revenue generated from civil filing fees is expected to be approximately $87.03
million, which is $2.03 million above the original revenue target of $85 million. Overall, OJD
identified that Circuit Court case filing are declining in civil case types and violation, which
could reduce revenue collected during the 2011-2013 biennium.
Civil in Fe Implementation
Doug Bray, Multnomah Circuit Court Administrator, testified that, as a trial court administrator
having to implement House Bill 2710, the bill was "very successful." He stated that the new civil
fee structure is predictable, fixed, and in statute and simplifies the distribution process by
eliminating add on fees. Mr. Bray stated that equity and amount of fees remains at the forefront
of concern within the Judicial Branch in order to ensure citizens have access to justice. The
Judicial Branch, led by the Chief Justice, established a task force to look at fee waivers and
deferrals in order to ensure people are able to access both options xhibit . Mr. Bray concluded
that that the new system is simple, the distributions are simple, and the system mechanics are
simple and will make it easy to roll forward with the implementation of eCourt.
Gerry Gaydos, Oregon State Bar, testified that the civil filing fee schedule adopted in House Bill
2710 has implemented a filing structure that is more predictable and uniform Exhibit . He stated
that the fee schedule improves transparency and predictability and is preferable to members of
the Oregon State Bar (OSB). Mr. Gaydos did identify several specific fees that should be
monitored and could be adjusted: fees for adoptions, requests for notice in guardianships,
accountings in probate cases, settlement conferences and supplemental judgment fees.
Russ Lipetzky, Family Law Attorney, testified that feedback from members of the Family Law
Section of OSB about the new filing fee structure has been positive. He stated that according to
his colleagues the structure is more transparent, predictable, and consistent. He did suggest that
the increase in adoption filing fees could be reduced and stipulated supplemental judgment fee
could be reduced.
Paul Snider, Association of Oregon Counties, testified about the impact of House Bill 2712
(2011) on revenue of local governments and municipal and justice courts. He addressed the
possible factors impacting the level of criminal fines revenues and ways to try to account for
these factors in order to understand the impact of the new fines.

State Court Facilities and Security & County Law Libraries Review
The Joint Interim Committee on State Courts Revenue Structure held its second meeting of the
2011-2012 Interim on Wednesday, September 12`" from 11:00 AM -12:30 PM at the Oregon
State Capitol in Salem
Overview on funding status of State Court Facilities & Court Security
Dave Heynderickx, Office of Legislative Counsel, reviewed the legislative history of the
relationship between state and local courts. He explained that in 1983 the state took over
responsibility for the operation of county courts and county was responsible for providing court
security and suitable and sufficient court facilities. He explained that many of county court
facilities are in "very bad shape" and in need of structural improvements or even replacement,
but counties and the state lack the financial resources to address the current needs. Mr.
Heynderickx explained that in 2008 the state conducted a comprehensive assessment of all
county court facilities and determined that it would have cost approximately $850 million (in
2008 dollars) to address all the needs of county court facilities.
Mr. Heynderickx explained that there have not been fiends generated from the state to assist in
the improvement of county court facilities. He also noted that in 2011, money from the County
Assessment was redirected into an account for fimding court security at the Oregon Supreme
Court and State Court Administrator's office and to pass through to individual counties for
purpose of providing security in county court house. In addition, he referenced House. Bill 2712
(2011), which included a $3 add-on to criminal fines to support all court facilities and which
expanded the purposes of the State Court Facilities Security Account to include support for
county courthouse security and for capital improvements to courthouses and state court facilities.
Currently, it is the responsibility of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to develop a plan for
court facility improvements.
Phil Lemman, Oregon Judicial Department, provided the Committee a high level overview of
how court facility account money has been used by: the Oregon Supreme Court and State Court
Administrator's office; distributed to counties; and what OJD intends to request in its 2013-15
budget package. He explained that OJD allocated money from the CFA in three ways:
• First, to counties for court house security, how that money was spent was determined by
the county officials without OJD oversight ;
• Second, for State Court Security - OJD has established statewide minimum standards for
courthouse security, which led to physical improves in some courts. He noted that money
in the account had been swept in the 2012 budget rebalance and it limited ability of OJD
to implement improvements. To date, OJD had addressed court security issues in Eastern
Oregon; and
• Third, for capital improvements, which would enable counties to strategically leverage
other monies to get over the hump in providing facilities and remodeling facilities?
Examples cited included Multnomah County Courthouse, and the Union County and
Curry County Courthouses, which need replacement of facilities.
The Committee asked questions regarding how much money was available to each county in
during the 2011-12 biennium for court security and facilities and whether OJD had other
10
resources to send to counties to address the court needs; what the reasons were for shifting court
administration costs to the state in 1983; and who was responsible for security in courts.
Overview on funding status of County Law Libraries
Steve Bender, Legislative Fiscal Office, summarized a memorandum that explains the current
county library funding structure Exhibit . Mr. Bender explained that prior to the passage of
House Bill 2710 (2011), county law libraries were supported by filing fee revenues. Courts were
authorized to establish a law library fee not greater than 28 percent of the civil filing fee.
Following the passage of House Bill 2710, which eliminated the law library fee, counties now
receive a General Fund appropriation each biennium for the operation of law libraries. He stated
that the General Fund appropriation in 2011-13 of $7.4 million was based on the average
biennial amount generated from the law library fee during the 2005-07 and 2007-09 biennia.
Public testimony on funding of State Court Facilities & Court Security and County Law
Libraries
Representative Wally Hicks, House District 3, provided testimony on the negative impact that
lack of financial resources has had on public safety, court security, and law enforcement
resources in Josephine County Exhibit . He described the efforts made by the Josephine County
Sheriff and Oregon State Troopers to ensure law enforcement is to citizens and available to
provide judicial staff and patrons security while in court.
Janet Webster, member, Oregon Library Association (OLA), described the need for the state to
adopt a new approach to how counties provide legal resources throughout the state. She reported
to the Committee that an OLA work group has produced a report that suggests that the state
develop a virtual and 24 hour statewide law library program that will satisfy the statutory
requires, provides legal resources and be cost effective.
Diana Hadley, Librarian, Douglas County Law, described the importance of law libraries to
litigants who do not have access to legal aid or attorney services. She explained that it is
necessary to have a library location as a resource because, in rural parts of the state, there are
people who do not have access to Internet services. She explained how she provides materials for
the library and the impact of budget cuts.
Jacque Jurkins, Librarian, Multnomah County Law, addressed the importance of maintaining the
one-on-one service that is offered by public law library and it should be lost as we become a
more virtual society.
Review of Civil Filing Fee Recommendations
Steve Bender, Legislative Fiscal Office, summarized the memorandum related to the civil filing
fee recommendations based on testimony received at the May 21, 2012 meeting (Exhibit). The
findings of the Committee related to the current civil court revenue structure were:
• It meets national best practices and objectives set forth by the Legislature;
• Preliminary revenue forecast tracks with the state's civil filing fee close-of-session
forecast, and forecasted collection rates remain unchanged from previous biennia; and
• There has been an increase in fee deferral rates with a corresponding decrease in fee
waiver rates (fee and waiver statutes have remained unchanged since before the 2011
11
legislative session). The Chief Justice of the Oregon Supreme Court had convened a
workgroup to study waiver and deferral rates and adopted a new Chief Justice Order on
deferral and waiver fees Exhibit .
The Committee did not adopt the recommendations in the memorandum during the meeting;
instead, it requested follow-up information on two issues:
• How much General Fund support was provided to the Judicial Branch in the 2011- 2012
budget; and
• Specific information on the amount of administrative savings that OJD has experienced
as a result of the new structure.

Criminal v nue Structur Review
The Joint Interim Committee on State Courts Revenue Structure held its third meeting of the
2011-2012 Interim on Thursday, October 18`h 2012 from 8:30 AM --12:30 PM at the Oregon
State Capitol in Salem.
Review and Approval of Civil Filing Fee Recommendations
Steve Bender, Legislative Fiscal Office, summarized the revised memorandum relating to the
civil filing fee recommendations based on testimony received at the May 21, 2012 meeting
Exhibit . The findings of the Committee relating to the current civil court revenue structure are:
• It meets national best practices and objectives set forth by the Legislature;
• Preliminary revenue forecast tracks with the state's civil filing fee close-of-session
forecast, and forecasted collection rates remain unchanged from previous biennia; and
• There has been an increase in fee deferral rates with a corresponding decrease in fee
waiver rates. In 2010, the Chief Justice of the Oregon Supreme Court convened a work
group regarding deferral and fee waiver rates, resulting in Chief Justice Order No. 10-
045, allowing the court to grant a temporary deferral of filing fees and court costs on an
individual fee basis until the conclusion of the case.
The Committee did not adopt the recommendations in the memorandum during the meeting.
Review and Approval of State Court Facilities and Security and Law Library Funding
Recommendations
Steve Bender, Legislative Fiscal Office, reviewed the memorandum relating to state court
facilities and security and law library funding recommendations based on testimony received at
the September 12, 2012 committee meeting E i it . He reviewed information provided by
Legislative Counsel and the Oregon Judicial Department with regards to how state court facility
and facility security needs are financed. Counties are required, by law, to provide suitable and
sufficient facilities for the circuit courts. He briefly summarized the 2008 analysis conducted by
the Interim Committee on Court Facilities and that the analysis concluded that the total cost to
mitigate deficiencies in all county court facilities would be approximately $843 million.
Mr. Bender noted that available state funding to address State Court Facilities issues has been
limited. Prior to 2011 session, a continuing funding source had been a portion of the County
Assessment that was added to offense fines and the amount added varied based on the fine
issued. He noted that Class B violations were the most common category of violations
considered by the courts, $7.20 would typically be added for the county's court facilities security
account, and $5 would be added for the State Court Facilities Security Account.
In 2011, House Bill 2712 eliminated the County Assessment, including the components that
funded the county court facilities security accounts and the State Court Facilities Security
Account. The bill replaced the County Assessment (and the Unitary Assessment) with the
requirement that the first $60 collected on offense fines be allocated to the state Criminal Fine
Account, before any of the remaining fine collections were transferred to, or retained by,
counties or municipalities. A total of $9,843,214 was allocated from the Criminal Fine Account
to the State Court Facilities and Security Account and the county court facilities security
accounts. The allowable uses of the state account were expanded to include: transferring money
13
to the county court facilities security accounts and funding capital improvements (not strictly
security-related) for courthouses and state court facilities.
In addition, Mr. Bender reviewed the testimony provided regarding the funding status of county
law library services including recommendations from the Oregon Library Association regarding
a new system for funding the law libraries by establishing a statewide law library service
program to provide expanded access to legal resources online. He noted that prior to 2011
session, county law libraries were directly supported from an assessment added to civil filing
fees and courts were authorized to establish a law library fee not greater than 28 percent of the
civil filing fee. In 2011, House Bill 2710 established a legislative intent that counties receive a
(General Fund) appropriation each biennium for the purposes of operating law libraries or
providing law library services and $7.1 million was appropriated from the General Fund to the
Judicial Department, for distributions to the counties for law libraries and law library services
during the 2011-13 biennium.
Finally, Mr. Bender reviewed the recommendations to the Committee relating to court facility
and facility security funding and to county law library services funding which included:
• Recommending that support for court facilities and facility security continue through the
mechanism in which support is allocated from the Criminal Fine Account (CFA), and the
priority payment on fine revenue to the CFA is continued to replace the portions of the
County Assessment that had previously funded these programs;
• Recommending that the Legislative Assembly review and consider proposals from the
Chief Justice for the use of monies in the State Court Facilities and Security Account;
• Recommending that support for county law libraries and county law library services
continue through an appropriation from the General Fund; and
• Recommending that the Legislative Assembly review a proposal developed by the
Oregon Library Association to establish a statewide law library service program to
provide expanded access to legal resources online.
The Committee did not adopt the recommendations in the memorandum during the meeting.
Report on administrative savings in Oregon Judicial Department related to
implementation of House Bill 2710 (2011) and House Bill 2712 (2011)
Phil Lemman, Oregon Judicial Department, presented the report on administrative savings
relating to the implementation of the structural changes relating to the civil filing fee and
criminal fines systems, requested by the Committee (Exhibit). Mr. Lemman explained the
changes to the civil filing fee structure as a result of House Bill 2710 and how the civil filing
process has been simplified and standardized across all counties.
He explained that prior to the implementation of House Bill 2710; the civil fee schedule had
become increasingly complex and required more staff time to receipt civil cases. During this
time, there was no additional circuit court staff to do the additional work, and it was coupled
with significant staff reduction. The implementation of House Bill 2710 reduced administrative
staff time spent receipting civil cases by a projected 116,480 hours during the 2011-13 biennium
compared to 2009-11. This represents a cost avoidance of $1,620,948, compared to the 2007-09
14
biennium of $607,855 in cost avoidance. In addition, he addressed savings to Central OJD staff;
how the structure facilitates the statewide implementation of eCourt; and savings to litigants.
Criminal Fines Overview
Review 2012 Statutory Changes
Doug Bray, Multnomah County Court Administrator, addressed the revisions made in 2011
Session to both the structure for the distribution of revenue collected from financial obligations
imposed in criminal actions and in the amount of the financial obligations. He stated that the
changes to the composition of financial obligations were greatly simplified because prior to
2011, 40 pages of tables and calculations were necessary to provide the true amount of the
financial obligation to be written on a citation Exhi it . The current "Schedule of Fines for
Violations" is four pages in length and two of those pages are the cover sheet and a narrative
explanation. The third and fourth pages are all one needs today to determine the financial
obligation to be imposed on conviction based on the classification of the violation offense.
In addition, he explained that the statutory changes led to the "Chief Justice Order Establishing
New Uniform Fine Schedule for Violations Filed in Circuit Courts". This document provides a
uniform schedule for violation bureau financial sanctions across all 36 circuit courts. Therefore,
the new fine structure coupled with the Uniform Fine Schedule is equitable and consistent across
all circuit courts; it is easier to administrator compared to the former Base Fine Schedule, and it
is possible for anyone to see the statue and consult the tables and understand the source of the
sanction and the amount.
Dave Heynderickx, Special Counsel to the Legislative Counsel, outlined the statutory changes
with the criminal fines structure encompassed in House Bill 2712 (2011) and House Bill 4167
(2012) Exhibit . Mr. Heyndericla reviewed the guiding principles and goals established in
2009-2010 by the Joint Interim Committee on State Justice System Revenues with regards to
criminal fine structure and identified what had and had not been accomplished in House Bill
2712 and House Bill 4167 (Exhibit .
Steve Bender, Legislative Fiscal Office, explained the impacts of the changes to criminal fines
structure on circuit and local court revenues, of the priority payment on the revenue distribution,
and of the status of the $60 payment (Exhibit). Mr. Bender explained how local court revenues
have been affected by the reductions in fine amounts and the reduction in the number of violation
convictions. In addition he identified that the impact that the priority status on the $60 payment
has on local court revenues is uncertain, however the replacement of the former Unitary and
County Assessments with a $60 required payment should, in and of itself, have no negative
impact to counties or municipalities. Even though total funding was not affected by this change,
counties are receiving more of their funding from the state, and less from their justice courts,
than had previously been the case.
The Committee questioned how House Bill 2712 changed the nature of the revenue stream
between local and state government and whether there is an auditing system in place to ensure a
county is expending jail operation and drug and alcohol program moneys as required.
15
Criminal Fines Account Revenue Forecast
Josh Lehner, Office of Economic Analysis, Department of Administrative Services, provided an
overview of the General Fund Court Revenue forecast related to the State Court Fees and the
Criminal Fine Account (CFA) (Exhibit). He explained that the total CFA resources, as of
September 2012, are projected to total $126.8 million for 2011-13, with dedicated distributions
and allocations of $58.1 million, leaving the General Fund portion at $68.7 million. Mr. Lehner
stated that since the close of the 2011 session, the CFA General Fund forecast has declined $119
million and the changes can broadly be divided into two components:
• Changes House Bill 2712 made to the dedicated distributions and allocations, which
when fully incorporated into the forecast resulted in a lowering of the General Fund
portion by $9.3 million.
• Underlying forecast changes more generally, which have lowered the General Fund
portion by $2.6 million. Actual revenue collections in recent quarters have matched
forecast, however the growth rates moving forward have been lowered over the past
year, resulting in the forecast reductions.
Mr. Lehner reminded the Committee that the full impact that House Bill 2712 has on Criminal
Fine Account revenues remains unknown as the new system has been in place for less than a
year.
David Moon, Director, Business & Fiscal Services Division, Oregon Judicial Department,
explained the collection and distribution amounts for the revenue generated by circuit court
offense case types for the CFA (Exhibit). He explained that the OJD Criminal Fine Account
revenue through August 2012 is $60,086,954 and other fine revenue collected in the amount of
$10,362,342 was distributed directly to cities and counties. Mr. Moon explained that the impact
of House Bill 2712 law changes has not been a predominant factor in revenue generation this
biennium but the impact will become greater as more violations are cited under the new law. In
addition, he identified that circuit court case filings are declining in violations and
misdemeanors. The net effect of the decline in violations cited into circuit court, coupled with
lower fine amounts implemented as a result of House Bill 2712, will reduce revenue collected.
He explained that the lowering of the fine amounts, coupled with the increase in judicial
discretion to reduce fines from 25 percent to 50 percent of the presumptive fine amount will
result in less revenue collected in circuit courts. However, the violations cited into justice and
municipal courts may offset some of that revenue loss from the circuit courts.
The Committee questioned if fines and convictions are both going down; whether the downward
trajectory of violations is exclusive to circuit filings or municipal and justice courts are
experiencing a similar trend and when will enough time have passed to establish validity in the
forecast projections regarding CFA revenue and caseloads.
Testimonv on Criminal Fines Imnl..ementation
Circuit Courts
Doug Bray, Multnomah Circuit Court Administrator, addressed revenue savings within the
circuit court system following the implementation of House Bill 2712, He explained that the
measure resulted in significant changes in fiscal policy and distribution of funds within the
16
judicial funding system, but the work being by done the officer, court staff, and judges was not
significantly changed. The structural change implemented by House Bill 2712 resulted in the
simplifying of the fine structure, from ticket issuance and determination of presumptive fine to
the process for the final adjudication of the fine to be paid. Mr. Bray pointed out that there was
not a significant cost savings in the simplification, but the new schedule eliminated the
complexity and allowed for the clear source of authority. In addition, the Chief Justice developed
a uniform fine schedule to address the lack of consistency within violation bureaus process for
reducing fines. The Chief Justice Order was implemented uniformly across all circuit courts and
established consistency in the discretion to reduce fines based on driving record.
Finally, Mr. Bray identified how the changes improved access to justice by allowing more
discretion to judicial officers around fines. He noted that it may have the revenue impact with the
increase in discretion, but that is yet to be known because default judgments continue to be the
primary resolution in violation cases.
Municipal Courts
Scott Winkels, Lobbyist, League of Oregon Cities, addressed the impact of the implementation
of House Bill 2712 on local government and the relationship between the decrease in court fine
revenue and decrease of officers on the street in local jurisdiction Exhibit. He cited the impact
of the changes in the fines and revenue distribution on the financial stability on Beaverton
Municipal Courts. Mr. Winkels clarified that municipal courts do not receive any monies from
the CFA.
In addition, Mr. Winkels shared possible statutory changes to address the revenue concerns in
municipal court systems: The recommendation include:
• Establishing an equal priority payment to local governments or shared priority to
compensate for poor collection rates of the $60 assessment;
• Sliding scale on the $60 assessment to eliminate the financial disincentive to provide full
leniency on lower level fines; and
• Divorce local ordinance violations from the $60 assessments i.e. vagrancy, dog
ordinances.
The Committee asked if a sliding scale for fines was not already addressed through the court
minimum and maximum fee schedule and if the increase in discretion is good or bad for the
public.
Justice Courts
Jad Lemhouse, Justice of the Peace, Linn County, summarized recent Linn County Justice Court
funding and compared revenue distribution after the implementation 2009 surcharge and after the
implementation of 2011 changes (Exhibit). He explained the immediate impacts of the loss of
revenue since the implementation of House Bill 2712.
The Committee questioned the relationship between the downturn in the filing forecast and
availability of officers to cite traffic violations.
17
Danny Jordan. Administrator, Jackson County, addressed the funding relationship between
Jackson County Justice Court and the County's traffic team. He explained revenue in Jackson
County has and will continue to trend downward as a result of the implementation of the changes
in House Bill 2712 (Exhibit). Mr. Jordan stated the reduction in revenue could result in the
closure the Jackson County Justice Court and disbanding of the traffic team because the fine
reductions means that the county is collecting less revenue from less fines amount xhibit .
The Committee asked if Jackson County was receiving the amount of money from the CFA that
the state was supposed to return; how does Jackson County allocate traffic team expenses; and
about the relationship between the operating costs of justice courts and traffic team.
Oregon State Sheriffs' Association
Undersheriff Troy Clausen, Marion County Sheriffs Office, stated concern about the remittance
of the jail assessment monies to counties from the CFA. He was concerned that the projected
amount of CFA revenue for counties was lower than it should be based on historic funding
levels. He asked that the amount be reviewed with detail information about how the amount was
determined.
Public Testimony
Alex Cuyler, Intergovernmental Relations Manager, Lane County, addressed the analytics
around County Assessment and suggested language to account for historical revenue for jail
assessment xhibit and concern about the accounting of CFA revenue being sent back to local
courts for court security funding. He expressed concern about the ability of justice courts to
address collection issues and how decreases in collection of revenue and citations has resulted in
the closure of three of four justice court and traffic team in Lane County.

Finding and Recommendations
19
The Joint Interim Committee on State Courts Revenue Structure held its final meeting of the
2011-2012 Interim on Monday, December 10"', 2012 from 11:0 AM - 12:30 PM at the Oregon State
Capitol in Salem. At the meeting, the Committee approved a series of general findings and three
sets of recommendation related to the: Civil Fee Structure; State Court Facilities and Security
and State Law Libraries; and Criminal Fee Structure. The Committee voted unanimously (4 - 0 -
2 (Excused: Sen. Shields and Rep. Olson)) to approve each of following sets of
recommendations for consideration by the 2013 Legislative Assembly.
General Findings Regarding Civil Fee and Criminal Fine Structure
The Committee made the following general findings regarding the current civil and criminal
court revenue structures. The Committee found that the current civil and criminal court revenue
structures meet virtually all objectives set forth by the Legislature. The structures have met the
objectives by:
• Simplifying the statutory fee and fine structure by reducing the number and types of fees and
fines;
• The statutory fine structure and fee amounts are uniform across this state.
• Eliminating all "add-on" fees or assessments;
• Increasing the transparency of fees and fines by placing them in statute, with the exception of
a limited number of fees and fine schedule established by Chief Justice Order;
• Reducing public and legal practitioners' transaction costs by making fees more predictable
and consistent;
• Accruing revenues to the General Fund, with the exception of the revenue dedicated to Legal
Aid Services;
• Distributing revenue through the budgetary process, with the exception of the statutory
distribution for Legal Aid Services;
• Creating structures that are compatible with the Oregon eCourt Program;
• The court fee structure has not adversely affected judicial authority to waive or defer fees or
to establish a payment plan for litigants; and
• The court fee structure should generate biennial revenue commensurate with the end-of-
session revenue forecast.
Civil Revenue Structu R mmendations
The Committee received testimony from Oregon Judicial Department, members of the Oregon
State Bar, and Oregon Office of Economic Analysis. The Committee did not identify the need
for any substantive law changes.
The Committee received a report the Oregon Judicial Department Exhibit and the Oregon
Office of Economic Analysis Exhibit that the preliminary revenue forecast tracks with the
state's civil filing fee close-of-session forecast, and that forecasted collection rates remain
unchanged from previous biennia. However, there has been an increase in fee deferral rates with
a corresponding decrease in fee waiver rates (fee and waiver statutes have remained unchanged
since before the 2011 legislative session). In 2010, the Chief Justice of the Oregon Supreme
Court convened a work group regarding deferral and fee waiver rates, resulting in Chief Justice
Order No. 10-045, allowing the court to grant a temporary deferral of filing fees and court costs
on an individual fee basis until the conclusion of the case.
20
The Committee received testimony that certain fee amounts merit review. These specific fees
are:
• Adoption, petition for first appearance ($240);
• Domestic Relations, motion after entry of dissolution, annulment, or separation judgment
($150);
• Domestic Relations, response to modification motion ($150);
• Probate, filing annual or final accounting fee in probate or conservatorship proceedings
(varies from $30 to $1,005 depending upon value of filing);
• Guardianship, initial filing ($105);
• Settlement Conference Party Fee, before a judge when proceeding in civil case ($200);
and
• Foreign Judgment Fee ($240).
The Committee made the following recommendations related to the civil fee structure:
Monitor and review the following 7 civil filing fees during the 2013 Legislative
1. Adoption, petition for first appearance ($240);
2. Domestic Relations, motion after entry of dissolution, annulment, or separation
judgment ($150);
3. Domestic Relations, response to modification motion ($150);
4. Probate, filing annual or final accounting fee in probate or conservatorship
proceedings (varies from $30 to $1,005 depending upon value of filing);
5. Guardianship, initial filing ($105);
6. Settlement Conference Party Fee, before a judge when proceeding in civil case
($200); and
7. Foreign Judgment Fee.
Additionally, (a) the 2013 Legislative Assembly should monitor and review the identified
civil filing fees to determine the impact on the ability of low and middle income people to
access the Courts; and (b) the Oregon Judicial Department should continue to provide
periodic reports to the Legislative Assembly during the 2013 Legislative Session and during
the 2013-15 biennium on the utilization of fee waivers and deferrals.
21
State Court Facilities and SecuritY_& County, Law Libraries Recommendations
The Committee made the following general findings related to State Court Facilities & Court
Security and County Law Libraries:
• The funding available from the state specifically to address State Court Facilities issues
has been limited.
1. Prior to passage of House Bill 2712 (2011), a continuing funding source had been
a portion of the County Assessment that was added to offense fines. The County
Assessment included funding for both county court facilities security accounts
and for the State Court Facilities Security Account.
2. Money in the county court facilities security accounts is limited to providing
security at buildings that contain circuit court or justice court facilities. Money in
the State Court Facilities Security Account was limited to addressing security
issues in the buildings utilized by the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, Oregon
Tax Court, or the offices of the State Court Administrator.
• In 2011, House Bill 2712 eliminated the County Assessment, including the components
that funded the county court facilities security accounts and the State Court Facilities
Security Account. The County Assessment was replaced with the requirement that the
first $60 collected on offense fines be allocated to the state CFA. Subsequently, the
$9,843,214 was allocated from the CFA to the State Court Facilities and Security
Account and the county court facilities security accounts.
• The allowable uses of the State Court Facilities and Security Account were expanded to
include:
1. Transferring money to the county court facilities security accounts (i.e., support
for the county accounts is now distributed from the state to counties through the
State Court Facilities and Security Account); and
2. Funding capital improvements (not strictly security-related) for courthouses and
state court facilities.
The Committee finds that during the current biennium, with regards to State Court Facilities &
Court Security, the Legislative Assembly:
1. Transferred funding for county court facility security accounts and the State Court
Facilities Account from offense fine assessments (portions of the County Assessment) to
the CFA;
o Transferred $6.5 million from the State Court Facilities and Security Account to
the General Fund to help address other budget needs of the Oregon Judicial
Department; and
o Authorized the Chief Justice to adopt a state court security plan.
2. Expanded allowable uses of the State Court Facilities and Security Account to include
capital improvements for courthouses and other state court facilities;
3. Established a priority payment to the Criminal Fine Account on offense fine revenue to
provide funding for court facility and security costs for both county courthouses and state
court facilities at ongoing levels;
4. Allocated funds from the CFA provide funding for the state and county accounts at the
prior biennium level; and
22
5. Adjusted fine amounts upward by $3 specifically to support expanded court facilities and
security expenditures above the prior biennium level, and allocated an additional
$2,278,919 from the Criminal Fine Account for this purpose.
The Committee finds with regards to County Law Libraries:
1. Funding for county law library and law library services was transferred from an
assessment added to civil filing fees to a General Fund appropriation.
2. The Legislature approved a $7.4 million General Fund appropriation for county law
library and law library services to continue funding at the average level provided over
the 2005-07 to 2007-09 biennium period, and later reduced support by 3.5% in 2012.
The Committee made the following recommendations related to the State Court Facilities &
Court Security and County Law Libraries:
• Support for court facilities and facility security should continue as an allocation from the
CFA, and the priority payment on fine revenue to the CFA should be continued to replace
the portions of the County Assessment that had previously funded these programs;
• The 2013 Legislative Assembly should review and consider proposals from the Chief
Justice for the use of monies in the State Court Facilities and Security Account, including
any proposals that utilize the expanded purposes of the Account;
• The 2013 Legislative Assembly should develop options for strategic funding partnerships
with county governments to address urgent capital improvement needs of court facilities;
• Support for county law libraries and county law library services should continue through
an appropriation from the General Fund; and
• The 2013 Legislative Assembly should review a proposal developed by the Oregon
Library Association for the establishment of a statewide law library service program to
expand and ensure online access to legal resources for pro se litigants.
23
Criminal Revenue Structure Recommendations
The Committee received testimony from Dave Heynderickx, Office of Legislative Counsel. Mr.
Heynderickx outlined the statutory changes with the criminal fines structure encompassed in
House Bill 2712 and House Bill 4167, 2012. He reviewed the guiding principles and goals
established in 2009-2010 by the Joint Interim Committee on State Justice System Revenues with
regards to criminal fine structure and identified what had and had not been accomplished in
House Bill 2712 and House Bill 4167.
Steve Bender, Legislative Fiscal Office, discussed the impacts of House Bill 2712 on state
budget and on the distribution of funds for county services. Prior to the 2011 session, the Interim
Committee on State Justice System Revenues approved outcome goals for criminal fine reform
that served as the basis for developing House Bill 2712. These included that the fine structure
should be as simple as possible, that the fine structure should be set forth in statute to ensure
transparency, that the new fine structure should not affect total revenues from fines for
violations, and that the structure should not include fines or assessments that are dedicated to
specific purposes.
To achieve these outcomes, the bill eliminated assessments that had been added to violation
fines, revised fine amounts to incorporate the repealed assessments, directed most fine revenue
received by state into the Criminal Fine Account, and allocated funds from the Criminal Fine
revenues that the bill eliminated. Subsequent adjustments generally reduced violation fines from
the levels previously in place (from the combination of the old fine and assessments amounts),
and extended the range of judicial discretion in setting the fine amounts actually imposed. The
former Interim Committee had received testimony that the revenue loss from reducing fine
amounts might be partially offset by an increase in citations and by an increase in the proportion
of fines that were fully paid. The funding support levels allocated from the Criminal Fine
Account were designed to provide revenue for the funded programs at the prior biennium level.
Before passage of the bill, however, fine amounts were increased by $3 to expand funding for the
State Court Facilities and Security Account.
Prior to House Bill 2712, both circuit courts and local courts were responsible for transferring
both fine and assessment revenue to the appropriate recipients. The distribution of fine revenues
depended on the law enforcement officer who cited the violation into court. The court would
transfer one-half of the fine to its associated government body (i.e., circuit courts transferred
one-half of the fine to the state's Criminal Fine and Assessment Account, justice courts to their
county's general fund, and municipal courts to their city's general fund). The other half was
transferred to the citing officer's government body (to the Criminal Fine and Assessment
Account when cited by a state officer, to the county general fund when cited by a county officer,
or to the city general fund when cited by a local officer).
The two principal assessments that were added to violations fines were the Unitary Assessment
and the County Assessment. Both circuit courts and local courts transferred Unitary Assessment
collections to the state Criminal Fine and Assessment Account. The courts divided the County
Assessment collections four ways: into two state accounts, the county's general fund, and the
county's court facilities security account.
24
House Bill 2712 repealed the Unitary Assessment and the County Assessment, established single
presumptive fines for violations, and replaced the two former assessments with a single $60
priority payment to the state Criminal Fine Account. Both circuit and local courts now deposit
the first $60 of fine collections into the Criminal Fine Account. The remainder of any fine
collection is then distributed as was the fine portion prior to House Bill 2712, where one-half is
distributed to the court's associated government body and one-half is distributed to the citing
officer's governing body.
The priority payment amount was set at $60 to maintain existing levels of support for programs
that had been funded through the Unitary and County Assessments. Both assessment levels
varied with either the offense type or the fine amount. In order to simplify the fine structure, a
single priority payment amount was established. In some cases the two former assessment
amounts totaled more than $60, while in other cases the two former assessment amounts totaled
less than $60. The Oregon Judicial Department reviewed the collections of Unitary and County
Assessments for basic violations in circuit courts over the period from January 1, 2008 through
June 30, 2010, and the average combined assessment amount over this period was $59.50.
This priority status nature of the payment has an impact only in cases when the fine is only
partially paid. Previously, a priority had applied to the Unitary Assessment, but the amount of
this priority affected just the first $37 of collections, instead of the first $60. Therefore, other
things being equal, counties and municipalities may receive up to $23 less than before from
partially-paid fines, as a result of the priority status. The impact of this change may be having a
significant impact on county and municipal court revenues.
The Committee also received information that local court revenues are being affected by the
reductions in fine amounts. Local courts are probably also being affected by a reduction in the
number of violation convictions. We do not have data on the number of convictions in local
courts, but violation convictions in the circuit courts are down 28% from the prior year, and the
amount of fines imposed is down 39%. The impact that the priority status on the $60 payment
has on local court revenues is uncertain, however the replacement of the former Unitary and
County Assessments with a $60 required payment should, in and of itself, have no negative
impact to counties or municipalities. Even though total funding was not affected by this change,
counties are receiving more of their funding from the state, and less from their justice courts,
than had previously been the case.
The Committee finds that local governments and local courts are experiencing funding concerns,
some of which are associated with the fine changes implemented in House Bill 2712 and some
which would likely be occurring even if House Bill 2712 had not passed. The comprehensive
information on these impacts are not available. The Committee also does not have information
on how justice and municipal courts have exercised options available to them under House Bill
2712 to address fiscal issues. For example, House Bill 2712 grants local courts authority to levy
fine amounts over a broad range. Typically, the minimum fine is set to approximately 50% of
the presumptive fine amount. Some justice and municipal courts may be levying fines that are
less than the presumptive fine amounts, and could increase their fine levels if warranted.
Additional information on the fine levels being imposed is needed is needed for the Legislature
to evaluate the impact of House Bill 2712 on local jurisdictions.
25
The Committee made the following recommendations related to the Criminal Fines Structure
• The allocation from the CFA established for the 2011-13 biennium in House Bill 2712
for the jail assessment does not meet the legislative intent to provide funding at the level
provided from jail assessments in the 2009-11 biennium. The uses of the funds provided
under this allocation are restricted to operating and maintaining county corrections
programs and facilities. The allocation amount in the bill only replaced funds the
counties had been receiving from jail assessments collected in circuit courts. Counties,
however, also received funds from jail assessments that were collected injustice and
municipal courts. The level of the CFA allocation in House Bill 2712 does not replace
these local court funds. As a result, the dedicated funding to counties for jail operations
is an estimated $3.8 million less than what counties would have received under the old
county jail assessment. To correct this, the Committee recommends that the 2011-13
biennium CFA allocation to counties be increased by $3.8 million, to correct this funding
shortfall before the end of the current fiscal year.
The allocation to the Law Enforcement Medical Liability Fund was also set at a level that
did not replace what the Fund had been receiving from justice and municipal courts. The
amount of this shortfall is approximately $600,000. Given the status of there being
sufficient balance in the Fund at this time to support the program through the current
biennium, the Committee does not recommend a CFA allocation increase for the current
biennium. The Committee does recommend, however, that the allocation for the 2013-15
biennium be increased to provide support to the Fund at historic levels.
The 2013 Legislative Assembly should review and consider a different division between
the state and local governments regarding the increase in priority payment and any
changes be applied to the 2011-13 biennium. The data available support the segregation
of $60 from the amount of the fine, to continue financial support at prior biennium levels
of programs that had previously been assessment funded. The impact of the priority
status on the required $60 payment to the state from fine collections, however, should be
further reviewed to quantify its consequences to local governments and the state. Local
governments have requested that the priority status on the payment be dropped or
modified, and/or that the $60 amount itself be reduced. Because the new fines have been
in place less than one year, and the data is too incomplete, it is too early to recommend
any modifications to the priority status of the $60 payment. This question should be
reviewed further during the 2013 Legislative Session, however, when the fiscal impacts
of any alternatives could be estimated. Potential modifications would include adjusting
the portion of the $60 payment subject to priority status based on the amount of fine
imposed, increasing the required priority payment to the Criminal Fine Account but
sharing some portion with the court's associated local government, and exempting fines
for local ordinance violations from the payment entirely.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 21, 2012
Jared Mason-Gere (503) 986-1204
Kotek announces 2013 House committee assignments
SALEM- House Speaker-nominee Tina Kotek (D-Portland) today announced House committee
assignments for the 2013 Legislative Session.
Kotek said the 2013 committees and committee assignments were designed to best focus on the
priorities of Oregonians, namely schools, job creation, and the most vital services Oregon
families count on.
"We're here to deliver on the issues that matter most to Oregonians across the state," said Kotek.
The 2013 appointments include a large number of Republicans assigned to chair, co-chair, and
vice-chair committees, a sign of a desire for ongoing bipartisan collaboration.
"There are thoughtful, well-respected legislators on both sides of the aisle who have important
ideas to offer. Committees are designed in a way that will allow us to best tackle the challenges
facing the state," Kotek said.
The House will convene January 14-16, 2013 for an organizational session, which will include
the swearing in of all House members, the official election of the presiding officers and
introduction of bills. The 2013 Session will officially begin February 4.
A list of the House committees and House appointments to Legislative Joint Committees is
attached.

201345 Governor's Balanced Budget
In Context of a Ten-Year Outlook
"°Ibe final step in rebuilding the House of Oregon is to recognize that the
puled of rational change requurd can't happen overnight or over
the course of a single biennium. It will require a sustained and consistent
effort over the next eight to ten years, built on such a solid fob that
it can continue to move forwwd and be sustained regardless of changes in
the executive branch or partisan changes in the make up oftbe legislature.
We have the opportunity and the responsibility to put that foundation. in
Place-"
- GovaraorJohn.4. K*haber, MD., Inn gwd Speech, Anumy 10, 2011
The 2013-15 Governor's Balanced Budget maft a significant departure from previous
biennial budgets. It was prepared with a long-tam framework to guide it. It is built on
strategic prioritiias and outcomes, rather than existing programs, and it aims to achieve,
ambitious goals over the next decade. This budget shifts away ft w stand-alone, agency
initiatives, instead emphadzing five Goss-cutting priorities that Oregonians have
identified as critical to securing a prosperous future: Education, Jobs and Innovation,
Healthy People, Safety and Healthy Finvironmerit.
This oukxu uw based budget trgets investnnents to meat specific 10-year goats. It is
driven by five guiding principles:
1. Common Vision - Develop a statewide vision for the stale investment now and
in the future.
2_ Defnned Outcomes - Define specific owcones with clear accountability to
Oregon's citizens.
3. Fiscal Sastaiaability - Deliver programs and services efficientiy within
available resources.
4. Innovative Sdudons - Priodti w investments in arras of change and
innovation-
5. Informed Decision Mang - Rely on evidence-based information to inform
policy decisions and decision makers.
This new approach requires the state to set clear budget limits, expectations and criteria
for investment. It seelo to deliver critical public services more efficiantly and effectively
by En& streamlining and inducing redundancy. It changes the fears of the biennial
budget from balancing the bottom line to budgeting to meet long term oautcornes. And it
directly involves Oregonians from outside government in recommending program
investownt levels with accountability measnies to track progress over time.
IM 004/103
is
By emphasking fiscal sustamabdq in prow dcffvcr), this new approach easvres state
government can provide cons soant KMOCS to Oregemans regardless of the economic
dimate of the state. It requh= considuatim of the long team fiscal impact of policy
decisions and prioritim saving in good Cacnomic times to cover shordalls during
downturns.
Ultimately, this budget is a tool to improve the fives of Oregonians and rebuild. a strong,
secure middle class. Using that tool a utvely over the next decade means not only
raepeDft to the acute impacts of emit hardship, but also working to address the
mot causes ofpoverty, It means investing in proven poverty reduction strategies, from
better education and career traiming to expended access to health cane and quality
housing. And it means elevating a diversity and inclusion agenda to sus UC all
comnnumitim share in new economic opportunities and prosperity.
Building a budget using a stratMo plan for state govc ment services that cross agency
boundmics provides a foundation for future reforms. State government must continue to
find ways to deliver programs and sarvices nacre offlaw thy. It mast be accountable to
the star Wes set forth in the 10-Year plan. It must make changes when the results don't
