COVID19 Update Public Health Director Nahad Sadr- Azodi updates Commissioners on the COVID19 pandemic in Deschutes County. Commissioner Henderson and Commissioner Adair mention the large spike in the 20-30 age group. Public Health Officer Dr. Richard Fawcett updates Commissioners on hospitalizations in St. Charles the last few weeks. Younger age groups recovery time seems to be better than the older age group. There are about 2,000 COVID tests being taken weekly. There was an 8.4% positivity for the last week. Deschutes County has been lower than much of the state through the pandemic. Commissioner Henderson asks why certain counties get a higher positivity rate. Dr. Fawcett mentions COVID19 fatigue and reminds everyone to wear a mask and social distance at the same time. With the colder weather and the recent election people are staying indoors which can more easily spread the virus. Commissioner DeBone asks if one person being tested multiple times at a long term care facility, contributes to multiple positive tests. Dr. Fawcett states that a negative test is negative and multiple positives count as one positive. The county's goal is to continue to increase focused testing every day. Commissioner Adair asked about the medications and vaccines to treat COVID. Commissioner Henderson asks about the countywide spread and the importance of schools reopening. Environmental Health Supervisor Eric Mone briefs Commissioners on the enforcement and outreach his team is doing out in the community.

Board of Commissioners BOCC Meeting Agenda Monday, November 16, 2020 Page 4 of 4 November 16, 2020 Dear Deschutes County Commissioners: Thank you for giving me the chance to speak about the County Road Department's Hunnell Road improvement project. First, on behalf of the Hunnell United Neighbors (HUNS), I'd like to thank Chris Doty and Cody Smith for working with us on the design of the project they hope to undertake, and for hearing our concerns and incorporating our suggestions in their design. We base our comments on Deschutes County's Transportation System Plan 2010-2030. The HUNs represent more than 180 residents of an area that encompasses Hunnell Rd. We question the designation of Hunnell Rd. as a "Collector" and the justification for this costly improvement project. Recently, HUNS members responded to an on-line survey regarding the project. They were unanimous that this is not an "improvement". HUNs residents are very happy with the present state of Hunnell Rd. and have serious concerns about the dramatic increase in traffic that it would generate and the use of tax payer's funds to implement it. This "improvement" poses a real threat to safety and livability of our area and we see very little "return on the investment" of tax payer's dollars. Before any work begins, Hunnell's designation as a collector should be changed to local road. It serves a very limited number of properties that generate very low traffic volumes. The County has never carried out traffic volume measurements on Hunnell Rd. though it's required to do so every four (4) years. We've measured Average Daily Traffic (ADT). It averages 100 vehicles, a very low ADT normally observed only on local roads, not collectors. We reviewed Table 4.2.TI page 134 of the County's TSP. In the list of public meetings, we found no mention of public involvement prior to that designation. Residents of Hunnell Rd. and the residential properties immediately surrounding the area were never notified or asked if they agreed with the designation. If public meetings to discuss this had previously occurred, they'd have revealed strong opposition to a collector designation and/or to any improvement of Hunnell Rd. The RUNS also question whether this project is justified. We've studied the County's approval process used to determine road building and improvements. On page 163 of the TSP paragraph 4.2, it's stated "Deschutes County shall not add any miles of new arterials or collectors to the system unless the following issues are satisfied: a. The need for the road can be clearly demonstrated. b. The county can financially absorb additional maintenance requirements. The very low ADT we've measured does not justify an improvement to Hunnell Rd. Funding of roads in Deschutes County was dramatically reduced due to improved vehicle gas mileage, and increased use of EVs, among other factors. Further, on page 168 of the TSP it states that "the vast majority of county arterials and collectors have sufficient capacity to accommodate the forecast 2030 traffic volumes". Some segments roles will require improvements". But Hunnell Rd. is not mentioned as one of them. The policies of the County TSP, low traffic volumes, and the high cost of the project indicate that an improvement of Hunnell Rd. is not justified. And, its designation as a collector should be changed to local as it only serves a very limited number of properties that generate very low traffic volumes. There are no large real estate developments planned in the area nor will there be in the distant future. This area is mostly designated as MUA10 and local residents have chosen a rural lifestyle. After several discussions with County Road Department staff, the purpose of the improvement project was described as providing a good connection between Tumalo and Cooley Roads. This is the function of an arterial, not a collector or local road. There are three other ways to connect Tumalo Rd to Cooley Rd.: Hwy 97, Old Bend Redmond Hwy and Hwy 20. Current improvements on Old Bed Redmond Hwy will easily facilitate this north/south connection. A better use of tax dollars would be to improve the very narrow (2 to 4 foot) bike lane on this highway. Another north/south connection between Tumalo Rd. and Cooley Rd. is not needed. Thank you for considering the opinion of the HUNs membership and of all the taxpayers whom you represent. Funding is scarce these days and must be wisely invested. Sincerely, Michel Bayard President and Founder Hunnell United Neighbors (HUNs) (An Oregon Domestic Non -Profit Corporation created in 2006) Q0 �Q o o a v E :a vo Oc, Or oc, 0 �-o Oc, Oc, ®� 0 ' lid r� T N ra� vn o ' oc, ^? 00 M� B r N. + Lr) �/r �o M 0 s�/Or M <r/ N 00 Ol + 00 T CjO r/Or r` O 6 �/61 o r/ m r+ S/ 6` 00 G O m Lr) 00 00 r L 110 N I / N car/ 9 O 9, �9 Ln O N/SIS C' /S 00 9 r � /SO Ln r/S O r-1 / O r/ 00 c-I is lD j, 0 000 0C® o m 0 0 ® ® /ct` cv ra saseD V) N 3 `t N w -J u fB V tiJs� v Q v) ra C: O V U El 0O u .� Ln 00 /l l a A l > _ l l ill � Ln Ln l�, .� 'O 00 Ol` u Ln Ln O � � `l l V Ln ■ 'Ol m l Ln 0 m 'O Ol l- a, 4-1 Ln ■ 'O c o �� _0 O m ® Ol u .LJ N i6 L o "n m 0�,�6 uru N 6l� v M v 6 _� `mil � o E '6 c CDl'6 v O m ' v u 9'6 Ln -0 N [ o SO'6 c ro I 0��� N a, L O O O O O O O O O r- � CD Ocl CD o 0W0 . v rn m OP cm o 00 N m O o O Ln N Ln I�t m N m 0 Iq N m o 0 O O O O O O O O O O O Ln O L11 O Ul O Lf1 IZI- m m N N O O O O O O O O O O 0) 00 1, lD Lr) C}' M N 00 rr'r /r S of 00 �= cn � Sri or C r/ or rr c» � N rn N o r/ or N N ® / °r Ol, C� � / c' 9/60 �/6 o 6 m % /6' /6 Ln m - ® S/ 6; O�'cP O CD r- ® r r S�6`p 00 ® /� 00 /n O r m oNel sc' r/ r ro Ln F-01 r 19 0 0 0 0 0 O 0 0 0 0 0 Lr7 0 Lri 0 Ln r14 CN r--i r--1 s1sai jo aagwnN i q bA C 4--+ (n a) O a - a, aJ ai E� O u C: -t-jO O O O v� v ?� O va 4-4-J 4� a, u Q v N .fo ro O r� Ew aJ -0 a--+ L Q r r r6 Q b C � O v o 2V� oa) LA O L -"e o a� v ro 4-1 c v .E O +j =-0 L� v L O L Un ry E H� an c C im-, V a M C : c U a 'c a a o L N v v v V o V_ O N — 0 U '- c� N C a O N a L a a a U a a a N a a Q a-' 4= t Q +�+ Ln C E N L- O N 0 U ® ® f- -i Ln r- Ln _ rn ci rH rn 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ln o Ln o Ln N N c-I c-I (poijad ja@m-z Ouillou) area ase3 MaN a `mil d- S l v 0 0 a 0_ a a 0 a L i� 19 0- 0- bA ro C_0 U O O 4 u 0 a 0 o =3 0 N O _ L 0 a c � O_ 0 >> c 0 4- lri Q,O 0- a a �> om (1) >- U ~' NN L > 4' C N a) L M C U N U o L 4O U N 2 A b.0 O c C O N ++ _C O .� N O O _0Q 4- 4- N Y Q) 0) i c0 N � aJ c C C � •� VI � d+ _ �L i O L C E O Ln fB O U O U O ® ~ 0 rs °r t; 1 1' I.n lei r�Ol, t5 �S tl� t: ty}r¢ t; 1 O O O O O O O O O O O O O rN-I IH O m 00 r- l0 N d' M N r-I O l/O l (poiaad N@@M-Z OUiJJo�J) AI!Allisod IUDDJ@d a) r_ \ r- r- O O v CL v v 3 O L Q ro 4- ro a) r� 0/� W ` 0: r Co r- C v O O 4 C v O C O L O C $ ro ro a) C +- O N � O�- L C CL•— ai v L -0 ro ro — ro 0 ro JN�Y h> w �S4a ��� c O 4-J T ro W E E n' E Ln 0 O CL 4-j Ln o3 �, •�� ^ 4-j O u a-j i--j 4- C- L O E O �u OUl W M: (D u C6 N OO �p V)•— E r a) O 0 M S > r- O O O , M .o +� - O � M u 0 .. .. _0 _ to to 4-J 4� a--J .— 4•- � .— Ln L.L Z D =mm J�� Y LPL ri : 00 a): N: v: m j u : cm,!

BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS: Deschutes County Health Services is asking an overall increase of 0.1 FTE to position 1641, Public Health Nurse II, which serves as the Immunization Program Coordinator. This position (currently an existing 0.8 FTE Public Health Nurse II) will be increased to full-time by reallocating a vacant 0.1 FTE Public Health Nurse II from within Health Services and the requested increase of 0.1 FTE. The position is currently responsible for daily operations of the Deschutes County Health Services Immunization Clinic and Outreach Vaccination clinics in the community that target vulnerable populations and facilitation of the school immunization reporting process. The increased capacity will: • Enable more robust work toward addressing the growing vaccine hesitancy and non- medical exemptions; • Provide education and build partnerships with clinical partners to increase immunization rates; • Contribute to COVID-19 vaccine distribution and logistics for roll -out and ongoing community coverage. The 0.8 FTE Public Health Nurse II position 1641 is funded by three sources: 1) Oregon Health Authority ongoing state funding for immunizations (Program Element 43-01); 2) patient fees; and 3) one-time County General Funds ($62,500). In October 2019, County General Funds were approved to increase the position from 0.6 FTE to 0.8 FTE, acknowledging that the additional 0.2 FTE will become an unfunded obligation in Fiscal Year (FY) 2022. Due to CARES Act Funds and vacancy savings related to this position, funds exist in the Immunization Program to support an increase to 1.0 FTE for the remainder of FY 2021 and into FY 2022. The department will bring forth continued funding options during the FY 2022 budget process or reduce FTE. Below shows a five-year fiscal analysis of the Immunization Program with 1.0 FTE Public Health Nurse II: RESOURCES P E 43-01 Patient Fees County General Fund TOTAL RESOURCES REQUIREMENTS Personnel Materials &Supplies Overhead TOTAL REQUIREMENTS SURPLUS (DEFICIT) FY21* FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25 45,154 43,718 43,718 43,718 43,718 10,212 10,200 10,200 10,200 10,200 52,405 33,103 107,771 87,021 53,918 53,918 53,918 69,697 107,724 114,951 123,589 131,518 600 600 600 600 600 4,371 4,371 4,371 4,371 4,371 74,668 112,695 119,922 128,560 136,489 33,103 (25,674) (66,004) (74,642) (82,571) * FY21 Includes year-to-date actuals plus sixmonths of Public Health Nurse 11 at step 1. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: Increase of 0.1 FTE Public Health Nurse II. No increase in FY 2021 Health Services Fund due to vacancy savings.

The attached draft policy provides Deschutes County departments/offices specific guidance on implementing the veterans preference requirement. It also includes examples of a written plan on how to implement a veterans preference plan. The Sheriffs Office is exempted from the policy and will develop their own policy. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None. ATTENDANCE: Deputy County Administrator Erik Kropp, Sr. Assistant Legal Counsel Chris Bell, and HR Director Kathleen Hinman REV`:=AM ES 1. Deschutes County Administrative Policy No. HR-18 Effective Date: **DRAFT: November 10, 2020** VETERANS' PREFERANCE POLICY Statement of Policy: It is the policy of Deschutes County to follow state law (ORS 408.225 et seq.) concerning the provision of a preference for eligible veterans and disabled veterans in its hiring and promotional practices. State law requires Deschutes County to grant a preference to eligible veterans and disabled veterans who successfully complete an initial application screening when the hiring or promotion decision is based on the results of a merit -based, competitive process that includes, but may not be limited to, consideration of the relative ability, knowledge, experience, or other relevant skills of applicants or employees. Awlicabi�t : This policy applies to all County departments, agencies, and affiliated agencies (collectively, the "County"), County employees, and to any person applying for a position as part of a merit -based, competitive recruitment or promotion within the County with the exception of the Sheriff s Office. The Sheriff's Office shall have its own Veterans' Preference Policy. If no eligible veterans apply for a position or promotion as part of a merit -based, competitive process, this policy shall not apply and the department or agency involved will not be required to use the processes described in this policy. Definitions: "Disabled veteran" means a person who is a "veteran" and who has a disability rating from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, whose discharge and release from active duty was for a disability incurred or aggravated in the line of duty, or who was awarded the Purple Heart for wounds received in combat.

HR Policy 18 - pg. 2 written and reasonable method by which to apply a veterans' preference at each stage of the hiring or promotional process for every recruitment and/or promotion posting subject to this policy. Elizibility Criteria/Proof. Subject to the eligibility requirements of state law and this policy, a 'qualifying veteran or disabled veteran may take advantage of the veterans' preference at any time after discharge or release from service in the United States Armed Forces. To claim eligibility for the preference upon initial application, applicants must complete and submit the requisite application materials, declare veteran status as required on the employment application, and submit certification of qualifying veterans' status to Human Resources no later than the closing date of the recruitment or the deadline to apply for a promotion. To provide the required certification an applicant must upon completing and submitting the requisite application (hiring or promotion), provide the following: For Veterans' Preference: copy of DD214/DD215; for Disabled Veterans' Preference: copy of DD214/DD215 and a copy of your veterans' disability preference letter from the Dept. of Veterans Affairs. All applicants (including non -veterans) who fail to fully complete and timely submit the requisite application materials shall not be considered for a vacant position or promotion. Qualifying veterans and disabled veterans who fail to request a veterans' preference, or who fail to fully complete and timely submit the required certification to establish their qualifying veterans' status, shall not be given a veterans' preference in the recruitment or promotion for which they have applied. Veterans and disabled veterans who do not meet the minimum and special qualifications for an open position or promotion are not eligible to receive a veterans' preference. The determination of whether veterans and disabled veterans meet minimum and special qualifications for a vacant position or promotion shall occur during the initial application screening. Applying the Veterans' Preference After verifying their eligibility for a Veterans' Preference with the County Human Resources Department (HR), hiring managers will, with the assistance of HR develop and implement a Veterans' Preference Plan in compliance with state law by: 1) inviting all eligible veterans who meet the minimum qualifications for the position to the first phase of the selection process, and 2) applying Veterans' Preference at each stage of the selection process by using the instructions below or another process compatible with state law. The Veterans' Preference shall be a 5% preference for a veteran and a 10% preference for a disabled veteran when a point scale is used to evaluate candidates for an available position or promotion. A Veteran's Preference Plan must be developed in advance of the any scoring related to the screening process and must identify how the preference will be applied at each stage of the recruitment or promotional process. HR should be used as a resource to provide Veterans' Preference plan templates, review draft plans, review scoring, and answer questions. Veterans' Preference Plan The procedures described below are endorsed by HR and Legal as compliant with state law governing eligibility for and application of the Veterans' Preference. Should a hiring manager wish to consider alternate methods of applying the Veterans' Preference, it is strongly HR Policy 18 - pg. 3 recommended that they discuss their options and plans with HR prior to the recruitment. While a non -scored system is allowed under state law, in order to devise such a system in compliance with state law a demonstrable preference must be established at each stage in the process to give special consideration in the hiring or promoting decision to eligible veterans and disabled veterans. 1. After completion of the initial application screening, HR provides to the hiring manager the names of candidates who have met Veterans' Preference requirements at the time they refer candidates for the recruitment. Hiring managers are requested not to share information regarding veteran status with other interview panel members. 2. All candidates who have met Veterans' Preference requirements and meet the minimum and any special qualifications for the position must be invited to participate in first stage of the recruitment process. Typically, the first stage is an interview, but for some positions, the first stage maybe a written test. Attachment A provides an example of applying the Veterans' Preference to a written test which will be used to determine who to interview. 3. At each stage of the selection process, the hiring committee should quantify their evaluation of candidates based on a common, pre -determined scoring matrix with weighted criteria pertaining to the qualifications relevant to the position; A. Criteria should be directly related to the duties performed in the classification description for the position; B. Each criteria should be weighted by importance; C. Total possible points at each stage should equal 100. (If a different point scale is used, the Veterans' Preference points shall be adjusted to equal 5% of the total points available for a veteran and 10% for a disabled veteran). 4. When evaluating candidates to determine who will be moved to the next stage of the hiring process based on the scoring matrix, eligible veterans should have five (5) points added to their total score at the completion of each stage. Eligible disabled veterans should have ten (10) points added to their total score at the completion of each stage. This application of Veterans' Preference should be conducted for every stage of the selection process. Attachment B provides an example of applying Veterans' Preference during the interview stage. p 5. There are alternative methods to applying the Veterans' Preference. For example, candidates can be numerically ranked and then the veteran up one or two spots (one spot for a veteran and two spots for a disabled veteran). HR should be consulted if a department would like to use one of these alternative methods. 6. After the final stage of the selection process concludes, prior to making a conditional job offer, the hiring manager shall submit to HR their documentation of numerical scoring of candidates organized by each stage of the selection process, including the hiring manager's scoring matrix showing application of Veterans' Preference points at each stage of the selection process. HR Policy 18 - pg. 4 7. Working in consultation with HR, hiring managers are responsible to ensure that a fully compliant Veterans' Preference Plan was developed and properly implemented. Before a tentative job offer is made to the candidate, HR will seek to ensure that the Veterans' Preference policy was appropriately followed. Appointment to a Position The County is not required to select an eligible veteran or disabled veteran for the position due to qualifying for a preference. However, when making the hiring or promotion decision, if the results of a veteran's or disabled veteran's application examination, when combined with the eligible veteran's or disabled veteran's preference, are equal to or greater than the results of an application examination for an applicant who is not an eligible veteran or disabled veteran, the eligible veteran or disabled veteran will be offered the position so long as the eligible veteran or disabled veteran is otherwise qualified for and meets any further eligibility requirements for the position. Written Explanation A decision not to appoint a veteran or disabled veteran may be based solely on their merits or qualifications with respect to a vacant position or promotion. If a veteran or disabled veteran is not appointed to a vacant position, upon written request by the veteran or disabled veteran, HR will provide the reason(s) for the decision not to appoint the veteran or disabled veteran to the position in writing. Alleged Violations of Proper Application of the Preference A veteran or disabled veteran claiming a violation of state law concerning the provision of the Veterans' Preference may file a written complaint with the Civil Rights Division of the Bureau of Labor and Industries. Questions about the Veterans' Preference may be directed to Human Resources at 541-388-6553.

ATTENDANCE: Laura Skundrick, Administrative Analyst NSRAL ORES 2:-CentralOregon Public Safety Chaplaincy CNAPLAI NS' - • Box 1898 SE aviNv �AN'ENPORCEMENt Redmond, OR • • �fRE�€>fi5 qt9: October 23, 2020 Deschutes County Commissioners "Serving the Hearts & Minds of Central Oregon's First Responders" www.copchaplain.com The purpose of Central Oregon Public Safety Chaplaincy is to serve the hearts and minds of Central Oregon's First Responders. We are often referred to as COPSC. Our mission is to provide biblically -based chaplain services, both personal and professional, to all law enforcement, emergency services personnel and their families within Central Oregon. We care and support those who are going through trauma and stress in their lives. We try to provide calmness in the midst of chaos. COPSC is not a church. It is a Christian ministry that exalts the Lord Jesus Christ and is not in the business of seeking converts to any particular church group or denomination. COPSC is non -denominational in emphasis, providing unrestricted service regardless of personal faith or beliefs. Our focus is to provide care and support when needed without any judgement. We provide professional training for our chaplains and consistent care and counseling for our First Responders. COPSC is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of a minimum of five members and up to twelve members. The Board is made up of individuals from law enforcement, fire & rescue, churches and the community. They are governed by a Chairperson, Vice Chairperson and Secretary/Treasurer. The daily operations of the ministry are under the direction of the Executive Chaplain who was hired by the Board. The Executive Chaplain shares accountability with the Board of Directors. The Assistant Chaplain is recommended by the Personnel Committee and Executive Chaplain. They are hired by the Board and responsible to the Executive Chaplain. Associate Chaplains are recommended by the Personnel Committee and Executive Chaplain, approved by the Board and responsible to the Executive Chaplain. Associate Chaplain is a volunteer position. We currently have a full time Executive Chaplain Joel Stutzman, full time Assistant Chaplain David Green, and twenty-one Associate Chaplains serving Central Oregon. COPSC offers many services to those they serve. • Help bring calm to chaos — Offering a safe place and safe relationship to the first responders of Central Oregon. Offering help and assistance to those in crisis and facing traumatic circumstances. • Confidential personal counseling — to first responders, their families and the community. • Ride Alongs With first responders, encouraging and establishing trust, identifying with their daily pressures and responsibilities. Central Oregon Public Safety Chaplaincy is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, Federal Tax ID 93-1244225 No goods or services were received in consideration of this gift. • Emergency services — Chaplains are available for on -scene support for all crisis intervention and assistance when needed. • Hospital and home visits — To provide support, care and compassion as needed. • Providing Critical Incident Debriefing and Defusing — Following a critical incident or traumatic event for first responders and community. • Officer training and public awareness — To help the officer and emergency services personnel and their family members maintain healthy relationships to enhance their careers and relationships. To educate the community through classes, trainings, in schools, and Citizen Academy events. • Officiating services — Celebrating with first responders and their families in wedding celebrations, vow renewals, and baby dedications. Providing pre- and post - marriage counseling and officiating at funeral services for first responders and those in the community. PROPOSED PROJECT Central Oregon Public Safety Chaplaincy would like to provide needed equipment; ongoing training and education for chaplains, first responders, and community members; and opportunity for retreat and rest for chaplains and first responders. We often are limited in what we can do because of limited funds. COPSC would like to send our chaplains to training and offer support for them as needed. They care for those dealing with major life events and that sometimes bring about a lot of stress and burden for them. We would like to continue trainings for our chaplains, first responders, and the community. We have limited funds so we are at times unable to provide the much -needed training and support. The funds from this grant would help tremendously for 2021. It is our desire to provide Critical Incident Stress Management Trainings to our chaplains so that they all have the same level of training in order to provide excellent care for our first responders and community. CISM is an adaptive, short-term psychological helping -process that focuses solely on an immediate and identifiable problem. It can include pre -incident preparedness to acute crisis management to post -crisis follow-up. Its purpose is to enable people to return to their daily routine more quickly and with less likelihood of experiencing post -traumatic stress disorder. If our chaplains possess the tools, they can be more proactive and encouraging, helping everyone cope with the trauma and stress that we all experience. We would like to spend a large portion of the grant money and our time with the chaplains and community of Central Oregon that are dealing with the many teen deaths. 2020 has brought many difficult things such as COVID-19, lack of social gatherings, and countless losses. TIMELINE It is our desire to provide ongoing trainings to chaplains, ongoing trainings in how to handle stress and PTSD for first responders, and ongoing training for how to help others cope with trauma and tough events for community members during 2021. We would also like to send Central Oregon Public Safety Chaplaincy is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, Federal Tax ID 93-1244225 .2 No goods or services were received in consideration of this gift. as many chaplains and first responders as possible on a rest/retreat for renewal during 2021. COMMUNITY IMPACT By providing training for our chaplains they are equipped with the tools to provide compassionate effective care to our first responders and community. This brings peace and support to them which then spills over to those who are around them. Providing training for our first responders on how to handle stress and PTSD enables them to stay in the career they love longer. It also provides them the tools to help their co-workers handle stress and PTSD as well. It is our belief that those closest to them understand better what they are going through and therefore are the ones that can provide the best care. This is true also for community members who participate in our trainings. FUNDS We would like to be considered for $10,000. As stated above this would help with much needed training and support for Central Oregon first responders and community. We would use the funds as follows; CISM training for 10 chaplains - $300 each = $3,000 Training on how to handle stress and PTSD for first responders = $2,200 Pastoral Trauma Conference to train local leaders in the community on how to cope with trauma and tough events = $2,500 Retreats for Chaplains & First Responders = $1,300 Equipment = $1,000 During 2020 we have lost a fair amount of fundraising due to COVID-19 and cancelled significant events in Central Oregon. We would like to continue at least the same level of care or better for our first responders in the coming year. We work hard to create awareness in our community of the services we provide to the first responders so that they and the organizations they represent can help support us as well.

AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT For Board of Commissioners BOCC Monday Meeting of November 16, 2020 DATE: November 10, 2020 FROM: Whitney Hale, Administrative Services, 541-330-4640 TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM: Economic Development Loan Request BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS: The Deschutes County Economic Development Forgivable Loan Program was initiated to encourage and assist companies seeking to relocate and/or create new jobs within Deschutes County. To receive a loan, companies must agree to create a specific number of jobs within a defined period, then maintain that level of employment for an additional set period of time. Before loan requests are presented to the Board of County Commissioners, they are reviewed by Economic Development of Central Oregon's (EDCO) Deschutes County Economic Development Fund Due Diligence Committee, which makes recommendations to the Board. Loans are considered based on an amount of $2, 000 per job created. The Board has occasionally approved loans based on $1,000 per job. SmartyPits, a consumer products manufacturer of natural aluminum -free deodorants, is requesting a $10,000 Economic Development Loan. Additional information about Smarty Pits' loan request and the Due Diligence Committee's review and recommendation is detailed in the attached staff report. The Economic Development Loan Fund (Fund 050) had a Beginning Net Working Capital of $106, 735 for FY 2021. This is the first Economic Development loan that has been submitted for the Board's consideration this fiscal year. Staff from EDCO will be available to answer questions about the request. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: $10,000 Economic Development Loan. ATTENDANCE: Don Myll, EDCO; Whitney Hale, Administration Deschutes County Economic Development Loan Program Deschutes County Commissioners' Meeting — November 16, 2020 Briefing Paper - SmartyPits Company Request: $10,000 EDCO Recommendation: $10,000 Application Date: September 17, 2020 Expected Job Creation (employee count): December 1, 2020 Begin recruitment March 31, 2021 3-5 employees December 31, 2021 10 employees Beyond 2021: 20+ Average Pay for New Employees: $35,000 plus health insurance PTO and 401 k Project Investments: Relocate manufacturing operations from CA to Bend, OR Manufacture in newly constructed leased industrial space — 4,000 square feet Purchase $80,000 of manufacturing equipment Industry: Personal Care Products Manufacture and Sales Website: smartypits.com Company Background SmartyPits is a fast-growing (tripled revenue over the last three years) consumer products manufacturer of natural aluminum -free deodorants. The Company serves one of the fastest trending skin care products sectors. SmartyPits deodorant is aluminum free, paraben free, phthalate free, gluten free, triclosan free, and propylene glycol free, and the Company gives 1% of all sales back to breast cancer research and survivor support. Now available in almost 4,000 locations domestically and close to 1,000 locations in Canada and the UK combined, SmartyPits is on a trajectory to become one of the top competitors in the natural deodorant market. SmartyPits products are made by hand in Tehachapi, California and will be relocating to Bend, Oregon to new industrial manufacturing space in December 2020. Market: The annual domestic antiperspirant/deodorant market is estimated to be $3.513 and is projected to increase as a share of the personal care products industry. Research firm Mintel estimates that one -fifth of deodorant and antiperspirant users consider aluminum -free formulas to be important in their purchase decision. This supports the recent 12% YoY growth vs. traditional antiperspirant market. Page 1 of 3 Growth: Plans are to expand the number of key accounts in natural grocery and premium beauty channels. In addition, an increase in direct -to -consumer market, whose share of the company's revenue has increased from 9% to over 20% in the last year, is also planned. The introduction of sustainable (plastic -free) line as well as incorporation of private/white label accounts have proven to be additional verticals for the company and show potential for additional growth. The Company is also exploring a subscription revenue model. Production: A significant increase in production volume will be driven by the expansion into the new 4,000 square foot Bend facility, as well as increased electrical capacity to allow the addition of new manufacturing equipment (melters and labeler). Due Diligence The Due Diligence Committee (Bruce Barrett, SCORE Central Oregon Chapter & Windermere Central Oregon Real Estate; Bill Kuhn, First Interstate; Eric Strobel, Barrett Business Services, Inc.) and EDCO's Bend Area Director, Don Myll, met with SmartyPits co-founder and CEO, Stacia Guzzo and co-founder and CFO Robert Guzzo on November 4, 2020. The Committee then met virtually to discuss the due diligence findings. Findings Summary: The Company plans to operate dual production facilities in both Bend and CA before eventual consolidation in Bend. Management has a well thought out plan to minimize disruption and allow co -manufacture while production is transitioned and ramped up in Bend. • COVID impact o Largest customer initially retracted all existing and future orders. Order volumes have returned to pre COVID levels o Receivables collection were delayed significantly but have returned to pre COVID pattern with insignificant customer defaults o Initially reduced work force in early Spring 2020 and was able to rehire the production team to meet increased sales and production volumes by Fall 2020, which are near pre COVID levels now o Secured COVID relief funding (PPP and EIDL) and is prepared to have PPP forgiven and will retain EIDL loan with attractive long-term financing terms to be used to fund future operations o COVID downturn forced Company to reevaluate and improve operating efficiencies which will likely serve them well going forward o Broadened customer base by transitioning from 90% wholesale / 10% direct -to - consumer sales to 76% wholesale / 24% direct to consumer • Sales to a well-known retail chain serving the US and Canada has increased significantly over the last 2 years and represents a significant portion of the Company's Page 2 of 3 revenues, although less than 50% today. The diversifying revenue channels (i.e. growing direct to consumer) is lowering the customer concentration risk. • Order volumes have returned to near pre COVID levels. • Current market share is in the single digits %. Sales and marketing strategies are aimed at smaller end of competitors as opposed to (the more challenging) large consumer products companies. • Regulatory compliance is not burdensome and relates to labeling requirements. GMP manufacturing is not a requirement, however the Company plans to incorporate in new Bend facility • In addition to EIDL debt financing, and commercial long term and bank working capital facility the Company's was financed primarily through "friends and family" convertible debt. This convertible debt is expected to be recapitalized through a series A equity financing within the next year. • Except for a temporary period when the Company used a co -manufacturer while production was ramped up to meet demand, the company has been profitable for 2018, 2019, and 2020 YTD. • The company's current cash reserves satisfy foreseeable cash demands appears adequate. Due Diligence Committee Guidance: • Consider capitalizing product development costs to enhance credit condition • Continuing pursuit of equity recapitalization is important • Ensure that new Oregon CAT tax is considered in pricing and cash flow evaluations Due Diligence Committee Recommendation: The Company has grown rapidly, secured capital to support its current growth and adopted a carefully thought out plan for transitioning and growing the company. EDCO and the Due Diligence Committee recommends an award of $1,000 per job for a total of $10,000 with the following conditions: • Company relocates/hires 10 full-time employees by December 31, 2021, for a total employment of 10 or more, and maintains that employment through December 31, 2022, or four consecutive quarters, per the standard Deschutes County contract for this fund. • Company provides quarterly employment updates and the ability to inspect complete financial statements from award date through termination of the yet -to -be executed agreement with Deschutes County. Failure to meet the above provisions would result in partial or full repayment of the loan, with interest. Page 3 of 3
