AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT
For Board Business Meeting of July 3,2013
DATE: June 26, 2013
FROM: Mark Pilliod Legal Counsel 541-388-6624
TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
An Ordinance Amending Deschutes County Code Chapter 2.60 Intergovernmental Entities and
Declaring an Emergency.
PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS DATE? NO
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
The County has been a member of the Accountable Behavioral Health Alliance (Alliance) since 1997.
This intergovernmental entity was established to administer contracts between member counties
(Benton, Crook, Deschutes, Jefferson and Lincoln) and the State for the provision of behavioral health
care.
Principally as a result of health reform legislation (SB 1580, 2012 Oregon Legislative Session) and the
required establishment of coordinated care organizations on a regional level, members of Alliance have
decided that it is in each member's best interest to be allowed to pursue new organizational structures
and collaborative business relationships, in an effort to meet local responsibilities for delivery of
behavioral health care and public health care.
Members of the Alliance have negotiated amendments to the Intergovernmental Agreement. This
Ordinance will adopt the current series of amendments, herein referred to as Modified
Intergovernmental Agreement of 20 13, and amend DCC 2.60.30 to further acknowledge adoption of
such amendments.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Upon adoption of the Modified Intergovernmental Agreement of 20 13 by members of the Alliance the
Alliance will distribute to the members reserve funds not needed to satisfy Alliance obligations. Upon
receipt by Deschutes County these funds will be the subject of a separate budget adjustment.
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve Ordinance No. 2013-014 and conduct first reading by title only at this meeting and the second
reading by title only and adoption at the Board's next regularly scheduled meeting which is at least 13
days later.
ATTENDANCE: Mark Pilliod, Legal Counsel
