Deschutes County Clerk Certificate Page T C- ~U~~TES COGZ-,, Cl { DESCHUTES COUNTY PUBLIC SAFETY COORDINATING COUNCIL MINUTES OF MEETING TUESDAY, JUNE 4, 2013 Allen Room County Administration Building, 1300 NW Wall St., Bend, OR Present were Judge Michael Sullivan; Presiding Judge Alta Brady; Commissioners Tammy Baney and Alan Unger; Tom Anderson, County Administrator; Ken Hales and Tanner Wark, Community Corrections; Sheriff Larry Blanton; Brian McNaughton, Redmond Police Department; Denney Kelley, Black Butte Ranch Police Department; Donna McClung, Oregon Youth Authority; Patrick Flaherty and Mary Anderson, District Attorney's Office; Scott Johnson, Health Services; Chief Jeff Sale, Bend Police Department; and Jacques DeKalb, defense attorney.

No representatives of the media were present. 1. Call to Order & Introductions Chair Sullivan opened the meeting at 3:35 p.m., at which time the attendees introduced themselves. 2. January Minutes It was noted that a name correction and a change of a date were needed. A motion was made to approve the minutes with those changes; seconded, and unanimously approved. Minutes of PSCC Meeting Tuesday, June 4, 2013 Page 1 of 5 3. Public Comment None was offered. 4. Community Corrections Plan Ken Hales stated that no action is needed at this time on the proposed Community Corrections Plan since allocations may be changing. The numbers have gone down compared to previous numbers; from 4.6% of all offenders in the State to 4.3%. A three-month snapshot showed the numbers were lower than the average for the year. Based on the current recommended budget of $197 million, that means a $600,000 decrease to Deschutes County over two years. $200,000 of that was for the Sheriff and $400,000 for Parole & Probation. This could change again before getting the actual appropriation. There are other things in play that could mean even more of a loss of revenue. The loss of funding is already hard on Parole & Probation. Without these changes, it was just enough to meet budget needs for the coming year. A loss of additional funds means there could be program changes. 5. Legislative Update Mr. Hales stated that through House Bill 3194, the Drug Court and Juvenile Crime Prevention Program grants are identified as to be cut. The title was changed to `Gang Intervention'. There have been some arguments to stall this, as the legislative language did not have corrective wording. Additional language is needed to modify this, but is future is uncertain. Commissioner Baney said it shows 30% would go to gang-related activities. There has been some discussion about this. Sheriff Blanton stated that there was a conference with the Governor, who is in conflict with the Chiefs and District Attorneys, who don't want to be at the table at all in terms of what this includes. The Department of Corrections approached the Oregon Chiefs, Sheriffs, Community Corrections and the District Attorneys regarding a $100 million shortfall. Minutes of PSCC Meeting Tuesday, June 4, 2013 Page 2 of 5 They came a long way and tried to adjust Measure 11, giving credit for time served, differences in juvenile and adult crimes, and a lot of other changes. Law enforcement is finished talking, and all of Measure 11 and Measure 57 are off the table. If there is an adjustment with Measure 57, like credit for time served, it is ironic that the State projected a $30 million in projected savings regarding inmate beds and another $10-12 million on program changes. They think they won't have to build another prison for ten years, but this is not realistic. He does not like any of the talk about Measure 57 and Measure 60. Many people do not realize these issues on a day to day basis, but this will affect local counties and the corrections system. Some counties will get money for not prosecuting criminals. It does not make sense. They are trying to deal with this with further conversations. Patrick Flaherty stated that the ODAA had a special meeting on this issue; and after four hours agreed to oppose any modifications of Ballot Measure 11. They pared it down to three issues: sex abuse opt out, rewriting statute to allow someone thirty years old or younger to opt out of Measure 11; and a stipulated opt out for all Ballot Measure 11 offenses which would allow the District Attorney and defense attorneys to stipulate to a non-Measure 11 sentence. A number of D.A.'s advocated walking away from the table. This legislation started out as a way to save costs, but the Department of Corrections costs were not looked at directly. Any voter-initiated law requires a super majority that they won't support. The ODA issued a formal opinion that this require 2/3 majority. On Friday they declined the Governor's offer to speak with them, but agreed to stay at the table. There are a lot of concerns that are not being addressed. Commissioner Baney thanked those who have been actively involved, knowing that it is difficult. It is a moving target. The Board has had to remain neutral for the most part until they get closer to something everyone can live with. Sheriff Blanton said that he is surprised someone does not take on the veterans' issues. Veterans lose benefits when they enter jail, and they may be pre-trial and not convicted. Insurance carriers don't like this, but these individuals should be able to keep coverage and medications. These expenses are high even though he has negotiated with providers and the costs are close to Medicare rates. Minutes of PSCC Meeting Tuesday, June 4, 2013 Page 3 of 5 6. Family Drug Court Grant Helen Feroli explained that the Family Drug Court is funded through the Criminal Justice Commission historically. They are changing their grant cycle and a new application is needed. On behalf of the Family Drug Court, she asked for PSCC support of this application, through a letter. Health Services is the official applicant. It is funded through agencies and other contributors. Judge Brady noted that there has been a change in the process lately, and it is a competitive process instead of justifying the budget, as had been done since 2006. The intent is not to eliminate operational drug courts, but they have to make a good argument for the program and show the need. There are new ways to compute the numbers, per person and per diem, but it still results in a 20% cut to the program. HALES: Move Chair and Vice Chair signature of the letter. FLAHERTY: Second. The vote was unanimous in favor. 7. 9-1-1 Levy Tom Anderson explained that the levy passed by 77% yes votes. It took hard work on the part of everyone, to educate the general public. It also resulted in a 3 cent per thousand reduction in the rate. There has been a drop in operating revenue for five years. The question is how this will affect operations. It won't be immediate, but by the fourth or fifth year, they'll be tapping into reserve funds. Sometime in advance of this they should try for a permanent levy. It was close last year. The ultimate goal is stable funding for the District. 8. Other Business Sheriff Blanton said that his Department along with the State DPSST (Department of Public Safety and Standards Training) and Mental Health Services are sponsoring three days (three sessions of eight hours each, June 18 through 20) of mental health awareness training. Officer Shane Nelson is overseeing this.

Our member agencies have long recognized the negative impact of excessive and repeated Patrick Flaherty District Attorney substance abuse on families in our community and the significant burden it places on limited public safety, judicial, and addiction treatment resources. J. Kenneth Hales Community Justice Dir. Deschutes County is identified as a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) by Scott Johnson the Office of National Drug Control Policy. The drug-related arrest rate in Deschutes Health Services Dir. County (26.8%) is higher than the state average (23.3%) and the number of drug arrests Jeff Hall in Deschutes County increased by 36% between 2008 and 2012 Court Administrator (htW://www.oLaoon.gov/CJC/Pages/SAC.asnx). Without access to treatment, even those who are willing and eager to break the chains of abuse for the sake of their children and Donna McClung Oregon Youth Authority families are likely to find themselves in a revolving cycle of court appearances, jail time, probation, child custody intervention, and increasingly perilous circumstances. Robert Poirier 911 Service District Deschutes County Family Drug Court has been operating since 2006 and has a proven Scott Ramsey track record of helping to remedy these issues. At 7%, the criminal recidivism rate for Bend City Counselor FDC graduates is remarkably lower than the national average of 16% for similar drug Lt. Carl Rhodes court programs. Furthermore, the family reunification rate for FDC graduates is 95% Oregon State Police compared to 51 % nationally (for non-drug court involved families). The program is aligned with the Ten Key Components; a model with demonstrated efficacy in reducing Jeff Sale Chief of Police, Bend addiction, preventing relapse, decreasing recidivism, and reuniting families who have been torn apart by drug use. Dave Tarbot Chief of Police, Redmond Many of LPSCC's member agencies were involved in the lengthy planning process to Shelly Smith bring a family drug treatment court to Deschutes County and continue to provide Citizen Appointee ongoing support of the program.
