AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT
For Board Business Meeting of June 1, 2011
_____________________________
Please see directions for completing this document on the next page.
DATE: May 30, 2011
FROM: Judith Ure, Department of Administrative Services, 541-330-4627
TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of Chair Signature of Document No. 2011-307, a Letter to the Oregon Office for
Community Dispute Resolution Advising the Selection of Central Oregon Mediation, Inc. as Grantee to
Receive OOCDR Funds.
PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS DATE? No.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
Every two years, the Oregon Office for Community Dispute Resolution (OOCDR) makes funds
available through the Community Dispute Resolution Grant Program. These funds are disbursed to
eligible local community dispute resolution programs through a publicly advertised application process
coordinated by the affected counties in partnership with OOCDR.
On March 23, 2011, the Deschutes and Jefferson County Boards of Commissioners adopted a joint
resolution to participate in the program and to engage in a selection process to award grant funds. That
process has now been completed and OOCDR has identified Central Oregon Mediation, Inc. as the
agency eligible to receive grant funds for the purpose of providing dispute resolution services in both
Deschutes and Jefferson Counties. The attasched letter from OOCDR documents the results of the
application process and requests that the Board take action to select Central Oregon Mediation, Inc. as
grantee for Deschutes County.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None. Funds totaling approximately $36,422 will be disbursed by OOCDR directly to the grantee.
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
Chair signature of the letter advising Central Oregon Mediation, Inc. as grantee to receive Oregon
Community Dispute Resolution funds for services provided in Deschutes County.
ATTENDANCE: Judith Ure, Management Analyst
DISTRIBUTION OF DOCUMENTS:
Return signed original letter to Judith Ure.
