MINUTES OF WORK SESSION
DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2013
___________________________
Present were Commissioners Alan Unger, Tammy Baney and Anthony DeBone.
Also present were Tom Anderson, County Administrator; Erik Kropp, Deputy
County Administrator; and, for a part of the meeting, Scott Johnson, Maggie
Machala and Kate Smith, Health Services; Judith Ure, Administration; Susan Ross
and Teresa Rozic, Property & Facilities; and media representative Shelby King of
The Bulletin.
Chair Unger opened the meeting at 1:34 p.m.
___________________________
1. Health Services Grant Applications Requests.
Scott Johnson gave an overview of the grant process. (His memorandum is
attached for reference.)
Each CCO across Oregon has received some stimulus funds. The Central
Oregon Health Council has some funds available to expend now; and the Health
Council CCO group is soliciting proposals. This is a tri-county, regional effort.
There are two public health areas of interest: living well with chronic
conditions, in particular dealing with diabetes; and the maternal child health
project. The maternal child health project continues work that is already being
provided. The grant amounts have not yet been determined. The State is
changing how early childhood programs will be funded, so in this case they are
not competing with other providers. They are developing the plan and
concepts, as it is a work in process. They can use existing staff and maximize
resources.

Regarding behavioral and mental health, new investments were provided
through the legislature. However, funds have to be pursued through grants, and
there is only a month to apply.
The work is within the County’s mission and is already being done. They are
meeting with other community health program representatives to figure out
which grants to pursue.
Commissioner Baney wants to make sure crisis intervention and continuing
care remains available. The system of care needs to remain in place.
Deschutes County is jointly applying for competitive funds, with Crook
County.
UNGER: Move approval of the grant applications as detailed.
BANEY: Second.
VOTE: BANEY: Yes.
DEBONE: Yes.
UNGER: Chair votes yes.
2. Property & Facilities Update.
Susan Ross stated that regarding the State Police/9-1-1 Building, they are out of
parking. They are looking at the concept of using the property across the street.
It is fairly limited due to a Swalley lateral canal, a rock outcropping and
setbacks. (The group referred to an oversized map at this time.) About half
will be behind a fenced area, mostly for equipment, and the rest would be for
staff and public use.
3. Other Items.
Executive Session, under ORS 192.660(2)(e), real property negotiations.
Executive Session, under ORS 192.660(2)(a), employment of a public officer.
Commissioner Baney left the meeting at 4:15 p.m. Commissioners Unger and
DeBone briefly discussed upcoming meetings and events.
Being no further discussion, the meeting adjourned at 4:20 p.m.

Deschutes County Health Services
Memorandum
To: Deschutes County Board of Commissioners
Tom Anderson, County Administrator
From: Scott Johnson, DCHS Director
Date: October 17,2013
SUbj: Grant Applications Requests -HOC Work Session October 23, 2013
One of the changes we are experiencing with health reform is a shift toward competitive grant processes.
Our ability to serve the community and finance programs will hinge, in part, on our success in
competing for State funding with other counties. The purpose of this email is to inform you about three
related processes and to request your permission to apply.
A. Central Oregon Health Council-Transformation Funds -Available: $1.65 million
Each Coordinated Care Organization is receiving funds from the State of Oregon to stimulate
transformation efforts at the local level. The Central Oregon Health Council is soliciting
applications. To date, we are considering two proposals.
1. Living Well Diabetes curriculum -We operate a regional Living Well program. The
program includes a series of training for community members to help them manage chronic
conditions in their lives. It increases health and independence and reduces inpatient and
emergency hospital stays. This best practice program developed through Stanford University
is highly regarded in the community. We are seeking funds to expand our offering by
acquiring a Diabetes Curriculum and training master trainers to train additional instructors to
offer the curriculum in the region. All three Health Departments support this application.
2. Maternal Child Health project -the Health Council currently invests in a regional
transformation grant to offer public health nurse services to high risk families (pregnant
women and new moms with young children) in the community. This new project includes
nursing services through all three health departments. This past week Oregon Health
Sciences University and the Health Authority issued a report documenting great benefit of
these types of services for high risk families. We are seeking funds to sustain this work and
possibly add additional health worker services through our WIC program. Long term, we are
awaiting additional information on new funding methods planned by the Oregon Health
Authority for "targeted case management" services. While we cannot be certain, we hope
existing County and State funds can match Federal funds and provide stable funding in the
future. This funding would provide a bridge to that new funding method.
With permission these applications will be submitted to COHC in November.
B. Addictions & Mental Health Division (AMH) -New Investments· $40 million (est'd)
The 2013 Oregon Legislature has provided over $40 million in new funds in 2013·2015 to
support community mental health system in Oregon and to invest in community mental health
programs. We expect release of the RFP this week with only 30 days to respond. Attached you
will find a Fact Sheet posted by the Health Authority. We are requesting permission to pursue
any grant elements that 1) support services we are responsible for in the community and that 2)
are consistent with larger health reform efforts. We will certainly evaluate carefully the
adequacy of the funding for the responsibilities they seek and our business plans to sustain the
work. Like most current funds. they hinge on the future of the CCOs and continued investment
of the State of Oregon. We expect all community mental health programs and other providers to
pursue this opportunity.
C. Community Health Grant -Crook County Health Fiscal Agent· $150,000 est'd
Information only.
We are jointly applying for competitive funds available through the State Health Division. The
three health department will work with COIPA (Central Oregon Independent Practice
Association) to advance tobacco prevention efforts in primary care settings. This project would
be a "public health primary care partnership". a priority transformation area for the CO Health
Council. There are no fiscal implications for Deschutes County.
Staff will be in attendance on October 23 when you consider this memorandum and the attached
information. Thank you for your consideration.
