MINUTES OF WORK SESSION
DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 2015
Present were Commissioners Anthony DeBone and Alan Unger; Commissioner
Tammy Baney was out of the office. Also present were Tom Anderson, County
Administrator; Erik Kropp, Deputy County Administrator; Dave Doyle, County
Counsel; and four other citizens including representatives of Housing Works (Tom
Kemper and Laura Cooper).
Chair DeBone opened the meeting at 1:30 p.m.
1. Housing Works Community Update.
Laura Cooper explained recent activities of Housing Works, which began as the
Central Oregon Housing Authority. She gave an overview of the structure of
the organization and its goals, and explained housing statistics including income
levels and the rent burden. The amount is very high in most communities.
Housing stock is mostly single-family homes. Half of the residents are renting
and at a high level of burden.
She explained they want people in a stable housing environment, through a
voucher program, appropriate real estate developments and resident programs.
EPIC Property Management handles 740 units. Some of this work is done
through bonding.

Regarding vouchers, 1,046 were issued and 2,260 people were served. About
60% of the clients are elderly or disabled. Housing Works pays out over
$540,000 in housing assistance to property owners each month in Deschutes
County. Most of the housing is in Bend, but La Pine has a very small amount
since some zoning and infrastructure issues have to be addressed.
Tom Kemper said that the self-sufficiency programs helps participants create a
realistic budget, pursue and maintain suitable employment, increase their credit
score, complete homeownership and financial literacy classes, and save money
in an escrow account for a Matched Savings VIDA account that can be used for
housing or business purposes.
They partner with Habitat for Humanity to secure properties and place families.
Mr. Kemper gave an overview of the housing stock they have acquired and
improved. A few properties are senior specific, and some are for special needs
clients. They own 615 units in Deschutes County. They are attempting to
increase the supply of affordable housing and services to residents.
One of the communities has a Mosaic clinic that operates three days a week.
This is a big help for those with transportation issues.
Mr. Kemper said they are considering a mixed-use property in Redmond that
would have 48 units combined with commercial and medical facilities. This is a
competitive process.
Central Oregon is in a severe housing crisis, and other affordable communities
are being considered and planned throughout the County. The vacancy rate is
less than 1% at any given time.
Commissioner Unger likes their holistic approach, considering other factors that
affect livability.
Mr. Kemper stated that one of the scoring criteria is being first priority for the
region. Workforce housing is being proposed in Redmond by an out of state
company, and Mr. Kemper does not feel they will score highly when it comes
to overall services to the clients. He was disappointed that the City of
Redmond's housing committee indicated support for this company, based on
what he feels was incomplete information. The Redmond City Council was not
directly involved.

Mr. Kemper asked for the County's support of the Housing Works application.
This will help with their scoring in this competitive process. They have about
another week to compile their information. Commissioner Unger likes the idea
of having Mosaic Medical involved, and the environmental issues at the
selected site are another consideration. Mr. Kemper said this is a statewide
program, divided into the Portland area, Salem area and the rest of the state.
Commissioner Unger would like to speak with Commissioner Baney; Mr.
Kemper said he would speak with her also if desired.
The Board will discuss this at their April 8 work session, and. Mr. Kemper plans
to attend.
2. Grant Application: Safety and Justice Challenge.
John Hummel explained a grant opportunity through the MacArthur
Foundation, entitled the `Safety and Justice Challenge', which is meant to help
reduce crime and pre-trial jail time. He understands at any given time, the jail
inmates are 70% pre-trial who can't get into work crews or into programs. This
creates a huge backlog in the jail.
The grant consists of two parts. First is planning, and demonstrating there is
community support for a solution. They have gotten letters of support from
many agencies. If selected (twenty will receive awards), funding will be
$150,000 for a six-month planning process. The Foundation will decide which
ten of the applicants to fund at a level of$500,000 to $2 million a year for up to
five years. Part of the request is a .5 FTE on a limited duration.
UNGER: Move Chair signature of a letter of support for the grant application.
DEBONE: Second.
VOTE: UNGER: Yes.
DEBONE: Chair votes yes.
3. Other Items.
None were offered.

Safety+Justice Challenge
To Whom It May Concern:
It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of commitment on behalf of Deschutes County and in support of the
Deschutes County District Attorney and Deschutes County Sheriff's Office's application for a MacArthur
Foundation Safety+Justice Challenge planning grant.
We understand that one of the first tasks in reducing over-incarceration is to build a collaborative team of
stakeholders to begin to work together as a community to identify innovative crime prevention programs and to
improve our existing programs. The Deschutes County Board of Commissioners and administration is committed
to being part of that team. Equally important is that all stakeholders understand the relevant facts and data prior to
implementing so-called Strategic Crime Reduction Efforts to both reduce crime and violence as well as to reduce
our pre-trial jail population. We are pleased to see the commitment of the Sheriff and District Attorney to using
data and evidence based practices to direct the efforts they describe in their grant application.
The implementation of such strategic innovations requires the cooperation of the larger community and
necessitates strict adherence to form and process,which can,and should,be accomplished with a minimal amount
of disruption to the stakeholders. We understand a Community Advisory Board has been established to provide
leadership,actively participate in the planning process and manage the data collection and sharing. Through
community education and dialogue(explaining the reasons for these initiatives to the various stakeholders),the
Community Advisory Board will also guide the team through the implementation phase.
Deschutes County has a history of working with the community to develop innovative programs to reduce
recidivism. Family drug court,mental health court,early disposition programs,and other evidence based
programs have been successfully implemented in our courtrooms with the aim of keeping our community safe,
respecting the rights of litigants,and saving the community money. I am confident we can yet again do this by
developing an effective strategy and plan to prevent crime,save money and reduce our pre-trial jail population.
The Safety&Justice Challenge planning grant will provide the resources necessary to develop this plan,and
Deschutes County urges your support of the application from our Sheriff and District Attorney.
Sincerely,
Anthony DeBone,Chair
