Goods and/or Services: The purpose of the attached Board Order is to repeal Order No. 2014-
030 dated December 3, 2014 and authorize designated persons to provide custody and secure
transportation services for allegedly mentally ill persons.
Background & History: Program Director for Deschutes County Health Services, Jane Smilie,
is appointing individuals to act as the Director's designee and in the Director's capacity for the
purpose of OAR 309-033-0210. OAR 309-033-0210 defines "Director" as the following:
"Director" means the community mental health and developmental disabilities program director
who has been authorized by the local mental health authority to direct the Community Mental
Health Program (CMHP). "Director" also means a person who has been authorized by the
director to act in the director's capacity for the purpose of this rule. In the case of the director
ordering a peace officer to take a person into custody pursuant to ORS 426.233, the designee
shall be a Qualified Mental Health Professional (QMHP) who is specifically authorized by the
county governing body to order the persons to be taken into custody.
The individuals designated by the Director are part of Deschutes County's Community
Assessment Team and Mobile Crisis Team. These teams provide crisis services, investigations
and consultations for individuals who are alleged to be mentally ill and a danger to self or
others. These Mental Health Investigators prepare cases for civil commitment hearings and/or
assist in the placement of individuals in treatment.
Pursuant to ORS 426.070 through 426.395, the Community Mental Health Program Director is
required to take certain actions in matters pertaining to the custody, transport and involuntary
commitment of mentally ill persons. These certain actions entail: (1) authorizing designees; (2)
recommend to the Board persons authorized to perform functions as according to ORS
426.233(3), and (3) provide confirmation that the recommended persons meet applicable
Oregon Health Authority standards. Board Order 2015-053 meets the obligations of the
Deschutes County Health Services Program Director for the provision of authorizing designated
persons to perform certain acts listed in ORS 426.233(3) including, without limitation, taking
custody of a person, removing a person in custody to an approved hospital or nonhospital
facility, transferring a person who is in custody from on hospital or nonhospital facility to another,
and retaining a person in custody.
