TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of Deschutes County Stabilization Center FTE Request
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
Staff requests approval to accept the Central Oregon Health Council one-year grant
funds and, with the addition of Deschutes County Sheriffs Office (DCSO) funds, to add
7.5 FTE described below in order to begin staffing the Deschutes County Stabilization
Center (DCSC) seven days a week with expanded hours.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
On August 7, 2019, Deschutes County Health Services (DCHS) requested approval to
apply for $6,390,837 through the Central Oregon Health Council (COHC) to enhance
the hours of operations for the Deschutes County Stabilization Center (DCSC). The
request included the potential to fund thirteen limited duration FTE for three years.
On January 9, 2020, COHC awarded Deschutes County Health Services $581,000 for
one year. This funding will provide for 4.5 FTE one-year limited duration positions,
associated equipment, materials and services and security costs for the DCSC and
expand our operations to include weekend hours.
In addition, the Sheriffs Office has expressed the intent to commit $570,000 annually
to help expand the DCSC hours further. With these funds, DCHS requests approval to
add three regular FTE. These funds will also cover additional program expenses and
administrative costs.
Our request is the approval to accept COHC grant funds of $581,000 and to hire 7.5
FTE as delineated below in order to begin staffing the DCSC seven days a week with
expanded hours:
4.5 FTE one-year limited duration--COHC grant funds (5/1 /2020 - 4/30/2021)
3.0 FTE ongoing --Sheriff's Office funds (begin 5/1/2020)
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
• Total of $581,000 in additional funds to Deschutes County
$570,000 FY 2020 appropriation for Deschutes County Sheriff's Office for
Stabilization Center. Request for interfund transfer of approximately $55,000 to
Deschutes County Health Services for FY 2020 and $570,000 annually thereafter.
