MEETING DATE: March 1, 2023
SUBJECT: Consideration of Board Signature of Order No. 2023 - 009, Appointing Health
Services Director's Designees
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move approval of Order No. 2023 - 009, appointing Health Services Director's Designees.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 426.233 (3) provides that the Director of Health Services may
authorize a qualified individual to perform certain acts, including 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 2022-064 was signed November 14, 2022. Since that time, one additional
qualified mental health professional who meets the applicable standards has been hired,
and two staff have left their designee position. 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 2023 - 009.
