MEETING DATE: September 29, 2021
SUBJECT: Consideration of Board Signature of Order No. 2021-047, Appointing Health
Services Director's Designees
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move approval of Order No. 2021-047, Appointing Health Services Director's Designees.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 426.233 (3) provides that the Director may authorize a
qualified individual to perform certain acts listed in ORS 426.233 (3) including, without
limitation, accepting custody of a person from a peace officer, taking custody of a person,
removing a person in custody to an approved hospital or nonhospital facility, transferring a
person in custody to another individual authorized under this resolution or a peace officer,
transferring a person in custody from a hospital or nonhospital facility to another hospital
facility or nonhospital facility, and retaining a person in custody. The Director has
confirmed that each of the individuals identified in Sections 2 and 3 of the attached Board
Order are qualified mental health professionals as that term is defined under Oregon law
and meet applicable standards established by the Oregon Health Authority.
Board Order 2021-022 was signed June 9, 2021. Since that time, three additional qualified
mental health professionals who meet the applicable standards have been hired and one
has left County employment or been reassigned within the department and are no longer
providing crisis services. The authorization to provide custody and secure transportation
services for allegedly mentally ill persons is being updated to reflect these staff changes
through the attached Board Order 2021-047.

None
