Retreat Overview
County Administrator Nick Lelack welcomed everyone and reviewed the agenda, which will
begin with each Commissioner sharing their priorities for the next year.
Commissioner Priorities
Commissioner DeBone:
• The culture of the organization is very important— open communication and being
able to trust each other
BOCC RETREAT JANUARY 30, 2024 PAGE 1 OF 9
Need to recognize that not everything can be a #1 priority
• Assure quality IT services, since just one hiccup can disrupt a system
• Opportunities for more campsites for recreation and so those who want to live off
the grid can —allowing this can alleviate pressure on the housing supply
• Clerk's Office expansion
Gain meeting space for the District Attorneys Office when the top floor is cleared
out and HVAC addressed
• juniper removal on east side of Redmond to reduce fuels and water consumption
• Managing the clean-up of solid waste which is deposited by homeless and others
• Development in the City of La Pine should reflect the culture of the community in
terms of lot sizes (space to store boats, RVs, etc.)
Newberry Regional Partnership Report - what do people care about, how are those
things paid for?
• Groundwater protection in southern Deschutes County - how to protect
groundwater while maintaining the rural nature of the community (i.e., would
installing sewer create more density?)
ADUs - how many have been applied for/constructed?
• New sports complex to promote healthy kids and families; possible tie-in to the Fair;
significant opportunity for recreation and tourism
Pay levels in the Assessor's Office and Health Services; need to dial in overtime and
make sure compensation levels are appropriate across the organization
Irk -*aim missi nleir AAnir�
ii��c
• The solvency of the Health Benefit Fund and who is paying for increased costs --the
County, or employees?
• Taking care to be conservative with the budget and spending; exercise cost
containment as expenses rise and contingency levels decrease
• Keeping close tabs that the Courthouse expansion project doesn't go over budget
Emergency preparedness: update plans and pay special attention to how landlocked
neighborhoods can/will be evacuated if necessary
• South County groundwater protection: 7,000 septic systems need to be upgraded
Preserve larger lot sizes for homes for the benefit of having yards, etc.
• Fire hardening standards —should Deschutes County proceed with these ahead of
the State's implementation of S13762, which has been delayed?
Change drug possession to a Class A misdemeanor (Measure 110)
• Address problems occurring at China Hat: deer poaching, trees being cut down,
sanitation and trash issues; encourage the federal government to take action and
issue citations for illegal activity
Work more closely with the Governor and others on homelessness; change the fact
that safe parking programs cannot list a case transition as a win if participants move
in with family or enter substance treatment
• Publicize positive things the County is doing (e.g., Oasis Village) to improve
awareness
BOCC RETREAT JANUARY 30, 2024 PAGE 2 OF 9
Commissioner Chang:
• Public investments in housing to promote affordability: increase supply of workforce
housing, use land more efficiently, possible grants for constructing ADUs
• Homelessness: finalize the land exchange in Redmond; address Code enforcement
issues in juniper Ridge; do more to create stepping stones/pathways out of
homelessness such as managed camps
• Behavioral health facilities, including secure residential treatment facilities and a
child psychiatric emergency facility; improve access to behavioral health services
• Diverting yard debris and organic material out of the landfill as defensible space
requirements begin to be enforced; what good use can diverted waste be put to?
• Groundwater quantity in the face of significant groundwater level declines —need to
raise awareness, promote conservation, and offer incentives and technical
assistance for water -saving appliances, landscape features, etc.
Departmental Submissions & Budget Priorities
Summary of Department Challenges & Opportunities
Lelack reported that each department submitted a list of opportunities and challenges
anticipated for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 for the Board's information as it develops its goals and
objectives for the upcoming year. Core themes of these lists include: staffing (recruitment
and retention, compensation as compared to the area's high cost of living, pending
retirements'), space needs, capital projects, technology(cybcr $el urity n evv, -Uvif+iwnv, al, --
programs,
DIAL updates), the stability of revenues/funding, and homelessness.
Commissioner Adair noted continued increases in property taxes and reported that some
people cannot afford to retire but instead must continue working. Saying that State law
allows establishing a program which enables property owners who perform community
service to receive a break on their property taxes, Commissioner Chang supported
exploring the feasibility of offering this in Deschutes County.
With respect to space needs, discussion ensued regarding whether some of the space
leased to the State at 1300 NW Wall Street might be available to the County.
Regarding capital projects, the following were noted: the Courthouse expansion project,
the public safety campus project, the new landfill, the Tumalo and Terrebonne sewer
systems, and the possibility of developing new campgrounds on County -owned properties.
Break. A break was taken at 10:27 am. The meeting reconvened at 10:37 am.
BOCC Budget Priorities
Lelack introduced the topic of budget priorities for the upcoming year and sought input
BOCC RETREAT JANUARY 30, 2024 PAGE 3 OF 9
and direction from the Board as the FY 2025 budget is drafted.
Commissioner Chang shared his budget priorities, as follows:
■ Addressing the fact that the Courthouse expansion project has restricted spending
levels across many categories for years to come, yet many departments have
expressed concern about funding stability in the future
■ Ways to mitigate the variability in revenues outside of the General Fund
(partnerships, etc.)
■ Estimating TRT revenues conservatively and aligning commitments with the reduced
revenue projections (also, possibly increasing the TRT rate?)
■ Funding for the Stabilization Center
Commissioner Adair shared her budget priorities, as follows:
■ Cost containment
■ Assuring a quality, attractive Courthouse expansion project despite the low
contingency (less than 4%); need to ensure this project does not go over budget
■ Adding Veteran's Services hours in Redmond and promoting the availability of this
program at the new location
■ Hewingto conservative budgeting similar to how the State legislature's Ways & Means
Committee approaches this
■ Show budgeted and actual amounts for overtime as a footnote on the monthly
financial statements for each department
Commissioner DeBone shared his budget priorities, as follows:
■ Focusing on conservative budgeting to weather future unknowns
■ Consider moving to a biannual budget
■ Keeping tabs on the Health Benefits Fund
■ Determining choices about discretionary TRT revenues and the Visit Central Oregon
allocation
■ Clarify what would be desired from the legislature in 2025 and work towards that
The Board was in consensus to schedule a work session on the subject of TRT revenues in
mid -March, to involve relevant parties such as representatives from Visit Central Oregon.
Committee Assignments for 2024:
The Commissioners reviewed their appointments and concurred in the following:
Adair to continue serving on the Coordinated Homeless Response Office (CHRO)
Board
■ Adair is no longer on the Budget Committee for Sisters Park & Recreation District
• Chang is no longer on the Oregon Park & Recreation Advisory Board
■ Fair Association Board - all three Commissioners are members
■ Chang serves on the Wolf Depredation Compensation and Financial Assistance
BOCC RETREAT JANUARY 30, 2024 PAGE 4 OF 9
Committee
■ DeBone serves on the CORE3 Executive Council
Break. A break was taken at 11:23 pm. The meeting reconvened at 11:29 pm.
Department Participation:
IT Director Tania Mahood presented the department's 2024-2028 Strategic Plan, beginning
with an explanation of the services, skills and approaches that other departments and
offices want from IT —these include help with modernizing technology, maximizing the
value of current investments, and identifying and fixing inefficiencies.
Mahood reviewed how the operations of the IT department have changed since 2012 due
to factors such as increased cybersecurity needs, the growth of remote work, and the
arrival of cloud computing. She also reviewed how the department's staffing has changed
over the same period, saying that although IT's current centralized staff level is 19 FTE,
some departments have their own non -centralized (also termed distributed or shadow) IT
staff. Mahood said the fact of distributed IT staff has posed some difficulties with meeting
regulations and achieving security.
Continuing, Mahood said that substantial investments are needed in Office 365 licensing
and also in hardware. She shared a list of needed positions, including technical analysts
and business architecture analysts. County AdministratorLelack commented a laL an uu
I 116
centralized IT staff may lessen the need for distributed IT employees in various
departments.
Discussion ensued regarding how advancing technology can result in fewer staff
accomplishing more work, reducing labor needs and operational costs.
With respect to adding positions, Deputy County Administrator Whitney Hale said staff will
prioritize the list of needed positions according to the work that departments are asking IT
to provide. This information, along with the significant investments needed in both
software and hardware, will be considered when evaluating the potential budgetary
impacts to departments.
In response to Commissioner Adair, Mahood described the steps which will be taken to
determine which Office 365 license assignments are needed for individual staff members
according to their job duties, noting that the purpose of gathering this information is to
avoid indiscriminate assignment of all available licenses to all staff, which is cost -
prohibitive.
Hale expected that the majority of IT position requests which will come forward in the next
year will be security -focused.
BOCC RETREAT JANUARY 30, 2024 PAGE 5 OF 9
Lunch: A lunch break was taken at 12:10 pm. The meeting reconvened at 12:33 pm.
DCSO - Public Safety Campus Plan
Captain Shults and Joe Brundage, DCSO Business Manager, presented the DCSO's Strategic
Plan, which describes initiatives, staffing, and capital projects over the next one-, five-, and
ten-year periods. Shults reviewed the three phases of the Public Safety Campus Plan, which
aims to provide for the DCSO's future needs for the next ten to 20 years. This project is
currently at the point of finalizing schematic designs and drafting cost estimates.
Discussion ensued regarding how to pay for this project (partially by using DCSO reserve
funds), and the impact of TRT revenues on the DCSO's operations. Brundage shared actions
which DCSO is taking to achieve savings and replenish its contingency fund —these include
leaving certain positions unfilled, reducing overtime, consolidating training when possible,
and extending the life of vehicles.
Responding to Commissioner Chang, Brundage said the option of seeking voter approval of
a bond issue for the public safety campus is still under consideration. Much will depend on
the amount of funds which DCSO is able to save in the short term, and the amount of the
project's initial cost estimate.
Health Services i Crisis Services & Stabilization Center
Janice Garceau, Health Services Director, presented information on the County's
Stabilization Center, including usage statistics from June 2020 through December 2023 and
funding costs from FY23 to FY29. The current allocation from the General Fund is $789,087;
DCSO currently allocates $620,000 annually. Garceau noted other revenue sources such as
IMPACTS grant funding and a $160,000 annual contribution from the City of Bend, saying
it's unknown whether the latter will continue.
Commissioner Adair requested follow-up data on how the number of clients has increased
since the center began operating. Garceau agreed to provide this within a few weeks.
Commissioner Chang said the County should advocate for State funding for stabilization
centers.
Discussion ensued regarding how the Central Oregon Health Council distributes funding
and whether its allocations can be considered a sustainable funding source.
Break. A break was taken at 1:48 pm. The meeting reconvened at 1:53 pm.
BOCC RETREAT JANUARY 30, 2024 PAGE 6 OF 9
Homelessness / Houselessness Funding
Erik Kropp, Deputy County Administrator, recapped previous discussions on the subject of
homelessness and unsanctioned encampments, particularly in the areas of Juniper Ridge,
China Hat and the County -owned land in Redmond which is anticipated to be swapped for
property owned by the State (aka the "DSL exchange property"). Noting that County Legal
Counsel has advised delaying the effective date of Code amendments regarding camping
until one or more managed camps is established so displaced campers have the
opportunity to relocate to a sanctioned area, he reviewed actions taken by various entities
(the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council, the Multi -Agency Council, the Coordinated
Houseless Response Office, and the Public Partners Roundtable) to address homelessness.
Kropp noted the still -present gap in options to provide shelter for those in immediate
need —as confirmed by the most recent Point -in -Time count —and described the proposal
to issue an RFP to seek responses from qualified organizations to design, develop and
operate temporary shelter sites. He reviewed the proposed timeline for this process and
said clarity is needed on the resources which will be committed to funding projects which
result from the RFP.
Kropp sought direction with respect to how much, if any, of the $2 million in ARPA funds
set aside by the Board to address homelessness may be committed to this particular effort.
He outlined four options for the Board's consideration, ranging from committing all or a
portion of the entire $2 million with l no strings attached to stipulating that all or some of
the funds committed must help alleviate the shelter needs of persons currently living on
land involved in the DSL land exchange.
Health Services Director Janice Garceau spoke to the need for clarity regarding what
funding is committed to this effort before an RFP is issued. Also needed are details on any
restrictions or parameters placed on that funding.
The Board discussed favoring initiatives that would reduce the number of unauthorized
encampments on the DSL exchange property and at Juniper Ridge. Commissioners
expressed interest in reviewing the list of properties proposed for establishing a managed
camp before the RFP is issued, in delegating authority to the CHRO on this effort, and in not
restricting proposals to nonprofit organizations.
Commissioner Chang said while he appreciated wanting to ensure that these funds are
well spent, he was willing to allocate the full $2 million at the outset of this collaborative
effort in the interest of having the best chance at one or more successful projects.
Commissioners Adair and DeBone supported reserving $500,000 of the set -aside and
allocating $1.5 million at this time.

Following the discussion, no decision was made or action taken.
Campground Feasibility Project
Jen Patterson, Strategic Initiatives Manager, said she and Property Manager Kristie
Bollinger met with representatives from the City of La Pine last week. The City expressed
three concerns regarding the possible conversion of County -owned property on Drafter
Road into a campground, namely: potential perceptions of how a campground might be
used; the need for transportation infrastructure; and whether the property would be
managed by the County or a private entity.
Commissioner DeBone envisioned that this campground would offer space and services at
market rate. Commissioner Chang said while this development poses an opportunity for
revenue generation, partnering with another entity would reduce the amount of revenue
collected by the County.
Discussion ensued that the property could offer a location for short-term workforce
housing, especially during the summer months.
Commissioner DeBone suggested scheduling a joint meeting with the City of La Pine to
further discuss this proposal and address rumors.

Oregon's Future Fund grants are due in 16 days. The Board concurred in directing staff to
draft a grant application for review and possible submittal, pending further Board
direction.
Road Department - Capital Projects and State Transportation Funding
Chris Doty, Road Director, advised the development of strategies for the upcoming 2025
legislative session to ensure the continued sharing of State transportation revenues (fuel
tax, weight -mile tax, DMV fees) with local jurisdictions, particularly in light of ODOT's
admitted deficit of maintenance and operations funds, among other significant budget
concerns. Doty explained the County's reliance on revenues from the State Highway Fund,
which are currently allocated according to a 50-30-20 split (with counties receiving 30%),
and reported recent ODOT efforts to adjust revenue sharing allocations to the detriment of
local governments. Doty noted that per State law, the County cannot use general fund
dollars on transportation, nor can it collect franchise fees for private utility use of public
rights -of -way.
Doty said another forthcoming challenge for the Road Department involves needed safety
and capacity improvements in Sunriver and Three Rivers. He distributed a table listing
major CIP projects for Fiscal Years 2024, 2025 and beyond.

2024 BOCC Retreat Discussion Topic: ARPA Funds Set Aside to Address Homelessness
Background: Executive Orders were signed in 2023to help address the crisis of homelessness in
Oregon. Central Oregon received nearly $15 million in State funding in 2023 to address
homelessness. Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council (COIC) convened the Multi -Agency
Council (MAC) group required by the order to coordinate the distribution of funds, with the task
of meeting three goals:
Preventing 354 households from becoming homeless
Creating 111 new shelter beds
• Rehousing 161 unsheltered individuals
The Coordinated Houseless Response Office (CHRO) worked in close partnership with COIC on
the facilitation and implementation of the historic Executive Order funding, and helped the
region meet the goals.
However, more progress is needed to address gaps in the Homeless Response System. For
example, per the January 2023 Point in Time (PIT) Count, there were 1,467 individuals living
unhoused in Deschutes County, the vast majority (73%) of whom live unsheltered. The CHRO
Board set the goal of expanding immediate sheltering options to accommodate 30% of
Deschutes County's unsheltered population.
Public agencies met as a sub-workgroup (Public Partners Roundtable — PPR) of the Emergency
Executive Council to identify properties that could be utilized to develop a shelter site or sites, a
process for supporting the development of those sites and an RFP intended to provide
additional resources and support to increase the number of places available to those living
unhoused in Central Oregon.
Budget: The investment partners (cities, county, state, etc.) have goals and expectations for
what their contributions to this process achieve. COIC estimates approximately up to $4m in
dedicated, one-time funding to support the work and is soliciting proposals from qualified
organizations to design, develop, and operate temporary shelter sites for Central Oregonians
living unsheltered.
Proposed Timeline:
• February 5, 2024
Issuance of RFP Documents
• February 12, 2024
RFP Open House
• February 20, 2024
Deadline for Proposal Submission (Phase 1)
• March 15, 2024
Deadline for Proposal Submission (Phase 2)
• March 22, 2024
Notice of Intent to Award(s)
Need: Those designing the RFP need clarity on resources that will be committed to funding
approved projects from each entity.
• The CHRO Governing Board agreed to support a County -wide RFP to address
unsheltered homelessness and unsanctioned encampments.
• The CHRO Board agreed to include resources from different entities in the RFP.
• The County has —$2 Mil in ARPA funds set aside to support efforts to address
homelessness.
• It is unclear how much if any of that amount will be committed to the pool of dollars to
be awarded through the CHRO RFP.
Request: Can Commissioners consider the following options and provide guidance to help this
work move forward as soon as possible?
1. Commit the entire amount, no strings attached beyond the specific parameters of the
RFP which are in line with the CHRO Values and Strategic Plan and the goal of the PPR
Workgroup — add up to 300 additional beds for unsheltered homeless in the community.
2. Commit a portion of the amount, no strings attached as above.
3. Commit the entire amount only for projects that specifically address development of
locations that would help alleviate the individuals living on land implicated in the DSL
Land exchange.
4. Commit the entire amount with a carve out amount that must be specifically spent for
projects that specifically address development of locations that would help alleviate the
individuals living on land implicated in the DSL Land exchange.
Considerations:
• It is critical that providers have a sense of the total dollar amount available, the maximum
amount for awards and the number of awards in order to make the decision to apply.
• We do not want providers to apply and then experience a lack of support b/c a
need/requirement was not explicitly identified during the process.
• Combining resources into a pool with limited restrictions, will increase overall resources as
1A/P11 ae the U-Pki rrPativity and flinvihillt V of nrniArtr
• Projects that significantly incr casc beds inay help to address the concerns about asking
people to leave the DSL Land exchange area even without tying directly to that effort.
• Conversely, having a large or small project tied directly to that area, may help ease the
UIIIII.UIIICJ VI leq lilrlllg pCVl./1C lV ICQVe.
• Remember, that even if a project is directly linked to the land swap area, there is no way to
require people to leave one location and go to another specific location.
® Last, and in my view important, a combined RFP with combined resources embodies the
CHRO value of not leaving partners alone and addressing some of the difficulties of siting in
communities.
ROAD DEPARTMENT
FY 25: Talking Points for DCRD Contribution to
BOCC Goal Setting
Item 1: Opportunity: Transportation funding will be a front and center topic in the 2025 legislative
session. With ODOT needs (maintenance, capital) dominating the political conversation, it is
anticipated that legislative funding increases may exclusively focus on ODOT and leave local
government behind. In 2024, local government will need to develop strategies to ensure that
future legislative funding adjustments include needs of all transportation jurisdictions.
a.
Background:
i. State law prohibits or restricts county use of typical funding tools used in many states. As
such, counties in Oregon are highly dependent on legislative adjustment of the State
Highway Fund taxing mechanisms (fuel tax; weight -mile tax; r)m�i fees) — which are
under the purview of ODOT.
1. State statutes restrict the use of county general fund (property tax) dollars on
transportation. Note: Cities do have the ability to use general fund dollars on
transportation.
2. State statutes prohibit county collection of franchise fees for utility use of the
public's right-of-way. Note: This is a common tool of significant funding
generation for cities.
3. Oregon does not have a sales tax. This is a typical funding tool used in other
states to fund capital investment.
4. The legislature has historically maintained a 50-30-20 split in revenue generated
by SHF sources, such that ODOT keeps 50% and counties and cities receive 30%
and 20% respectively.
b. Concerns:
i. ODOT has a highly publicized and massive maintenance/operations deficit and has
indicated this will be front and center in legislative funding package will be proposed in
the 2025 Session. ODOT also has equally significant funding concerns associated with
mega -projects that are not moving forward with pace (IBR, 1-205 corridor).
ii. New leadership within state agencies and the legislature may not have the perspective
or understanding that county transportation revenue is highly dependent upon the
61 150 SE 27th Street Bend, Oregon 97702
(541) 388-6581 road@deschutes.org www.deschutes.org
State Highway Fund and the 50-30-20 apportionment of new revenue — as well as the
fact that state law restricts the ability of counties to generate local funding.
1. Examples:
a. ODOT staff and OTC originally proposed to keep the majority of federal
COVID relief funds dedicated to offset impact of fuel tax loss. This was
adjusted upon the protest of local government and one OTC member.
b. Recent ODOT efforts to significantly reduce or eliminate the Fund
Exchange Program to help address their maintenance deficit. The AOC
(and Deschutes County) had to go to the legislature to keep ODOT from
unnecessarily eliminating this program.
c. The co-chair of the Joint Committee on Transportation recently stated
that the 50-30-20 funding allocation formula could be up for discussion
in the 2025 transportation package.
d. Tolling: ODOT is attempting to develop exclusive funding mechanisms
outside of the State Highway Fund that will ultimately reduce ODOT's
dependence (and pressure) to go to the legislature with transportation
iununig' pacKages Ili IQL UCnel 11 all �transportation UJUI IJU1 Ll 11J�.
Item 2: Challenge: In FY 25 the Road Department will be initiating project development to address
intersection safety and capacity issues in the Sunriver and Three Rivers area. Due to anticipated
community impacts, design and construction of roundabouts at the South Century Drive
intersections with Denture Lane, Spring River Road, and Huntington Road will require an
elevated public outreach effort and partnership with adjacent landowners and stakeholders.
c. See and discuss CIP list/handout:
