There were no representatives of the media in attendance. Chair DeBone opened the meeting at 1:40 p.m. 1. Discussion of IDD (Intellectual and Developmental Disabled) Program Funding. This was a follow up after the legislative session. They have gone through extensive growth and revamped eligibility criteria, so growth has increased by about 20% in the County. (See attached handout for details.) There will be over $1.5 million in increased funding, and the State has indicated. what positions should be added to do the work properly. There is also a subcontract with Crook County that will need to be increased to cover adult protective services. Erik Kropp asked about the ratio of case per staff and whether it allows for new services. He was advised they cannot cap their caseload, so it will increase; by how much remains to be seen. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Wednesday, August 5, 2015. Page 1 of 5 Pages Commissioner Baney asked if the hiring would be phased and whether the State has a preference. Ms. Rizzo said that it will take time and the State knows this. The funds are not jeopardized if it does not happen all at once. It is funded for the next biennium, and it cannot be known if the State will decide on limitations in the future. Commissioner Baney wanted assurances that the employees will be aware that this is grant funded. Ms. Rizzo indicated that the funds pass through the County, but the legislative body could choose to act differently in the future. It has been years since the IDD program has gotten an increase. It is now based on a workload model. Chair Debone asked about the age group. He was advised that it could be from infancy to end of life. Some individuals receive other aid but this program connects people to the community in a variety of ways. It is based on the model and the local population, and population growth. Mr. Anderson stated that this would have to come back as a Resolution to be approved at a regular business meeting. Or, the Board could ask for a discussion at the time. Ms. Rizzo stated that there have been articles written about this and they are now drowning in new clients. She is concerned about this triggering further inquiries. Commissioner Baney suggested an update in a few months to keep the Board advised of how it is going. 2. Approval of Order No. 2015-039, Changing the Date for a Public Hearing for a Property Annexation into the Redmond Fire and Rescue District (Hayes). BANEY: Move approval of Order No 2015-039. UNGER: Second. VOTE: BANEY: Yes. UNGER: Yes. DEBONE: Chair vote yes. 3. Other Items. The Board went into Executive Session under ORS 192.660(2)(e), Real Property Negotiations, at 2:00 p.m. It concluded at 2:45 p.m. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Wednesday, August 5, 2015 Page 2 of 5 Pages The group discussed the August 12 hearing on HB 3400. Chair DeBone said there have been a lot of inquiries from citizens and the media regarding what appear to be some rather big `grow' operations. The biggest areas of concern seem to be Alfalfa and Tumalo. Mr. Lelack went over a draft press release and the presentation. A hearing is not required but the Board wanted public input. Commissioner Unger asked when HB 3400 was passed, as there has not been a lot of time to react to it. People do not understand that this does not affect Measure 91 or someone's personal right to use recreational marijuana. The Board will have 180 days from enactment of HB 3400 to decide whether to opt out. Mr. Lelack said that the City of Bend might weigh in on this issue. Commissioner Baney cannot imagine them being disrespectful to another agency. Commissioner Unger said it might be that they will clarify some issues. It also needs to be clear that this does not affect what takes place inside any of the cities. Mr. Lelack indicated that it would be a protected farm use, like any other crop. David Doyle added that the opt out is for recreational grow operations and could impact RR-10 and MUA-10 as well. Growers would have to get an OLCC license as well. It is allowed on EFU land as it is. If you opt out, you forgo taxes on the product. The property is still taxed as usual. Commissioner Baney said that the cities will realize the sales tax revenue. Mr. Doyle stated that the tax comes in at the retail level. The State redistributes the funding but none goes to a County that opts out. Law enforcement and substance abuse control programs get a cut to use towards marijuana abuse related work. Mr. Lelack said that the Board could make reasonable decisions on minimum lot sizes and other issues. Those changes would require public hearings. Mr. Anderson stated that Health Services staff will want to testify. He asked if they are to be treated as members or the public or as staff. Commissioner Unger said they need to focus on the issue and not marijuana as a whole. He wants to know the problems to address the impact of the grow operations. Chair Baney feels they should speak but keep their comments focused. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Wednesday, August 5, 2015 Page 3 of 5 Pages Mr. Doyle stated that this should only focus on the land use part of it, not the effects of marijuana or health concerns. That horse has left the barn. The danger is if staff strays off the issue, the citizens will feel they have to speak on that as well. Commissioner Baney said it needs to stay focused on the use of the land. Mr. Doyle stated that if the Board does not opt out, it will have more control over what happens. The personal use is legal. This concerns just the commercial and land use part. Matt Martin said they can speak to opting out in regard to access to the product, and allowing the issue to be played out in other areas to see what they do. Counties that had a strong negative public vote on Measure 91 can opt out and are not be required to have this go to a vote. Deschutes County was fairly evenly divided. Commissioner Baney is troubled about negative comments made against the Board. Mr. Anderson stated there will be some law enforcement at the hearings. Mr. Anderson asked about a cold weather shelter presentation to the Board. Commissioner Baney is concerned because this is a faith-based group and that may be asking for other requests. The Board is okay with scheduling a presentation. Matt Martin said that the Historic Landmarks Commission had asked for additional staff in the new budget, which did not happen. They still would like to meet with the Board to discuss programs and the future. The Board agreed to attend their next meeting on Monday, November 2, at 5:30 p.m. Regarding the Fremont exhibit at the Historical Society, Chair DeBone encouraged the others to go there. The AOC reception will be held there on Sunday night, which the first day of the AOC regional conference in Bend. Being no other items discussed, the meeting was adjourned at 3:40 p.m. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Wednesday, August 5, 2015 Page 4 of 5 Pages DATED this b 1 Day Da of 2015 for the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners.
