Luke and Alan Unger. Also present were Dave Kanner, County Administrator; Erik Kropp, Deputy County Administrator; Dave Inbody, Administration; Chris Adams with KOHD TV and Hillary Borrud with The Bulletin; and several other citizens. Chair Baney opened the meeting at 1:30 p.m. 1. Discussion of Audit Committee Member Recommendation. David Givans said the Audit Committee sub -committee interviewed three applicants. He said their finalist is Michael Shadrach. He said they would like the Board to formalize the appointment and it will go on the next agenda as a consent item. He said one of the other candidates is open to being appointed. He said at the last meeting the Committee made the suggestion of expanding the public members for the group. Commissioner Luke said it would be nice to have the extra people for flexibility. Commissioner Baney said Mike sounds great and she will go with the Committee recommendation. Commissioner Unger said he agreed. Commissioner Luke said his suggestion is a range from four to six people. 2. Discussion of Modification of State Agreements regarding Juvenile Corrections, and Gan2 Prevention Services. Dave Kanner said a contract has already been recorded and the Board will have to take action to modify the contract before the Clerk can record it. He said the Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, March 16, 2009 Page 1 of 5 County will have to bill back to them to get the money. He said JCP is basic money that comes to the County. LUKE: Made a motion to sign 2011-110. UNGER: Second VOTE: LUKE: Yes UNGER: Yes BANEY: Chair votes yes. 3. Proposed Additions to the Personnel Rules relating to Employee Protected Leave. Erik Kropp said they are making proposed additions to personnel rules: felony crime victim or immediate family leave time, employee victim of domestic violence leave, and time for expressing breast milk. These are additions to the personnel rules to comply with state law. They went over the proposals (see attached.) Commissioner Luke said the County only recognizes same sex domestic partners. Mr. Kanner said it is state law and the County can expand on it. Mr. Kropp said they are proposing same sex domestic partner. He will clarify the policy. Commissioner Unger said the first two items; criminal proceedings and victims of domestic violence, does not state it would be paid or unpaid leave. Mr. Kropp said it would be paid if the employee has leave and if out of leave it would be unpaid. Commissioner Luke asked if there are privacy rooms for the expression of breast milk. Mr. Kropp said they would make arrangements. He said they would bring the policy before the Board in a business meeting for approval. 4. Video Lottery Funding and Community Grant Funding Criteria Update. Mr. Kanner said he wanted to talk about the video lottery and community grant programs. He said video lottery did not receive as much in 3rd quarter as expected. It appears that 4th quarter will be down an additional 50,000. He said that even with the deletion of discretionary grants, there might not be enough for the rest of the year. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, March 16, 2009 Page 2 of 5 Commissioner Luke asked if the grants are EDCO and others. Dave Inbody said it would be the larger grant line on the first page (see attached lottery fund handout.) (He also passed out a handout on community grant program — see attached.) He said most of it is laid out on the second page. He said at this time discretionary grants have been suspended. The bottom line is they are 28,892 short through the end of this fiscal year. He said one option is money identified for P&P. Mr. Kanner said they might be able to cover funds with out doing a transfer due to the position reductions with P&P. He said they might be ok next year. He said he would definitely know in May. Commissioner Unger said he does not want cuts. He suggested they use the discretionary fund for the buses for fair and other things. He thought that next year they would have new money to cover that. Commissioner Baney said in July they would need to have a discussion on that. Mr. Kanner said they are expecting a 23% reduction and would like to figure out a way to continue the community grant program and the discretionary grants. Mr. Inbody said service partners and community grants are on an annual basis out of the budget. They can maintain what they are doing but at a lower level. He said for community grants and service partners there will be no change. In terms of community grants, it is recommended the keep most of the parameters the same even though the payout is less. Commissioner Baney said for discretionary grants is that for profit. Commissioner Luke said it should to be a service type organization. Mr. Inbody said it is not limited on discretionary grants. Commissioner Unger said there might be a reason to support those that are for profit. Commissioner Luke said homebuilders are not non -profits but if profits are returned to the community, they might support them. Mr. Kanner said the criteria is subjective. They need to clarify up front what they are looking for. Commissioner Baney said it is subjective and out in the community they are going to be wondering how the criteria is going to be defined. Commissioner Luke said he would not mind a write up of the proposed rules. Commissioner Baney said one caution is with CC&F is if one partner does not uphold their side, it makes the whole partnership look bad. Commissioner Unger said he would like to and find ways to encourage non -profits to become more efficient. He suggested restructuring the system better. He did not feel it was efficient as it is. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, March 16, 2009 Page 3 of 5 Commissioner Luke said each one believes that they are unique. He said to ask them to work together. Commissioner Unger said they do not want to change how they do business, just how they handle the law better. Mr. Kanner said he would come up with some specific language. Commissioner Baney said to have the non -profits call and state importance of discretionary funds throughout the year. Commissioner Baney said they do not know what they have. She would rather earmark between 200 and 250,000. Mr. Kanner said last year they told them it was uncertain how much money was going to be appropriated. Commissioner Luke said to leave it alone and put in a line item for discretionary grants and if lottery funds do not come in then there is no discretionary grant funding. Commissioner Baney said she thought the County has programs contracted to community partners. She said they need to keep the County services going first. She said she would rather spend video lottery dollars for economic community dollars. She said they are getting to thin. Mr. Inbody said last year they used 2,000 for a spay and neuter grant. They can do it again but at this time will not be obligated to do anything until such time as the Board determines to allocate it. Commissioner Baney said not to state anything until they determine how much they need for programs the County does. Commissioner Luke said the County needs to feed people. They cannot fully fund other programs. He said to leave the discretionary grant funds for now and if the money does not come in, then they do not have it. Mr. Inbody said in order to balance the budget they had to reduce the grants. Commissioner Baney said they could leave 50,000 unallocated. She said not knowing how much money will come in makes it difficult to come to these decisions. She asked if they want to determine a percentage of the budget. There is value in knowing the percentage for what they are specifically asking. Mr. Kanner said they ask for that. Commissioner Baney said kudos go out to Mr. Inbody for the Chamber Forecast Breakfast. 5. Update of Commissioners' Meetings and Schedules. Commissioner Baney said there is a Sunriver Chamber breakfast tomorrow but they cannot attend as they are going to 9-1-1. She suggested one of them go to Sunriver. She said if she can fit it in she will go. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, March 16, 2009 Page 4 of 5 Commissioner Baney said she is going to NACO. They will be talking about forest health and federal appropriations. Senators Wyden and Merkely have put their requests on web site. Go on web site and put in a public comment. The only way they will get funds is if they hear from the community. 6. Other Items Commissioner Luke said he toured the juvenile jail Thursday. He was surprised OSU has classes there. Commissioner Unger said he and Mr. Kanner are working on water (Water Alliance. He said they will work through that and make a schedule. Commissioner Baney said she was asked to testify next week by the Oregon Housing Committee on homelessness. She said Ms. Borrud did a great job on the article. Mr. Kanner said one other item is the volume of work that the Public Affairs Counsel is asking them to do. He said it is considerable. He is not sure what to do for priority one and two. Commissioner Luke said to ask them to prioritize them. Being no further items addressed, the meeting adjourned at 3:05 p.m. DATED this 16th Day of March 2009 for the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners. Tar m aney, Cha' ennis R.

The additions would expand protected leave for employees in three circumstances as required by state law: • Criminal proceedings — allows an employee who is a felony crime victim to take leave to attend a felony criminal proceeding involving the employee or immediate family (defined as spouse, domestic partner, father, mother, sibling, child, stepchild and grandparent). • Victims of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking - an employee is allowed to take leave to address domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking of the employee or his or her minor dependants. • Expression of breast milk - an employee is allowed an unpaid 30 -minute rest period to express milk during each four-hour work period. The draft additions to the Personnel Rules were provided to the employee unions and no changes were requested. Please let me know if you have any questions on these policies. c: Dave Kanner, County Administrator PROPOSED ADDITIONS TO THE PERSONNEL RULES March 12, 2009 Addition to Chapter 3.36 LEAVE Criminal Proceedings (ORS 659A.192) An employee who is a felony crime victim shall be allowed to take leave to attend a felony criminal proceeding involving the employee or immediate family (defined as spouse, domestic partner, father, mother, sibling, child, stepchild and grandparent). The employee must provide reasonable advance notice of the leave, provide copies of the notices of the criminal proceedings, have been employed with the County for at least six months, and worked an average of more than 25 hours per week for at least 180 days immediately before the requested leave. The leave must not create an undue hardship on the department. If approved, the employee must use paid leave (excluding sick leave) which includes time management, vacation, compensatory time, or holiday time. The employee shall not use sick leave. If all paid time is exhausted, the employee may request unpaid leave. Addition to Chapter 3.36 LEAVE Victims of Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault or Stalking (ORS 659A.272) An employee shall be allowed to take a reasonable amount of leave determined by the County Administrator and Personnel Department to address domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking of the employee or his or her minor dependants. The employee must have been employed with the County for at least six months and worked an average of more than 25 hours per week for at least 180 days immediately before the requested leave. The leave must not create an undue hardship on the department and it must be for an authorized purpose. An authorized purpose includes seeking legal or law enforcement assistance or remedies — seeking medical treatment or recovering from injuries; obtaining counseling or services from a victim services provider; or relocating or taking steps to secure a safe home from the employee or minor child. The employee shall provide the Personnel Department and his/her department head with as much advance notice as is practicable. The County may require certification of the need for the leave, such as a police report; protective order; documentation from a law enforcement officer, attorney, or victim services provider. If approved, the employee must use paid leave (excluding sick leave) which includes time management, vacation, compensatory time, or holiday time. If all paid time is exhausted, the employee may request unpaid leave. Addition to Chapter 3.20 HOURS OF WORK, Section 3.20.020 Rest and Meal Periods New Section C.

The County may require, if feasible, that the employee take the rest periods at the same time as the rest periods or meal periods that are otherwise provided. This shall only apply to employees expressing milk for her child 18 months of age or younger. The County shall make reasonable efforts to provide a location, other than a public restroom or toilet stall, in close proximity to the employee's work area for the employee to express milk in private. TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS FROM: DAVE INBODY SUBJECT: VIDEO LOTTERY FUND UPDATE DATE: 3/12/2009 CC: Background Since the Oregon Lottery began, in 1985, nearly $6 billion in profits have been allocated to public education, economic development and natural resource protection. In the 2007- 09 biennium, the Oregon Lottery was forecasted to generate more than $1.2 billion in sales. Among all the lottery games offered, video lottery is by far the largest generating $895 million. These funds are distributed to several different education, natural resources and economic development programs. Counties receive 2.5 percent of video lottery proceeds. For 2007-09, $43.8 million was budgeted for counties with Deschutes County projected to receive $1.5 million. Deschutes County Allocation of Video Lottery Funds Here is a breakdown of how video lottery funds were budgeted in FY 2009, how they have been spent through February 2009 and the projected spending by the end of the fiscal year. Expenditure Budgeted Spent thru 2/09 Projected Grants $645,143 $483,885 $549,177 Transfer to Adult Parole & Probation $106,000 $70,667 $106,000 Memberships and Dues (COIC, AOC) $15,273 $13,777 $15,273 Internal Service Charges _ $10,095 $6,730 $10,095 Administration (salary & benefits) $8,347 $5,542 $8,347 Contingency $5,042 $0 $0 Capital Outlay $100 $0 $0 TOTAL REQUIREMENTS* $790,000 $580,601 $688,892 With the exception of grants, all other expenditures have been or are expected to be paid as budgeted. Grants from this fund are allocated in one of four ways. • Service Partners — These grants go to organizations providing services directly connected to county service requirements or obligations. Grants are provided to Economic Development of Central Oregon (EDCO), Central Oregon Council on Aging (COCOA) and Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA). • Community Grant Program — FY 2009 was the first year of this program in which funds were distributed to local non-profit organizations for providing emergency food, clothing or shelter, protecting the abused and neglected or providing health care, mental health and addiction treatment. Non -profits submitted grant applications and recipients were selected by a committee of county staff and community members with extensive background with non- profits. These grants, ranging in value from $2,500 to $30,000, were distributed to 24 non-profit organizations. • Discretionary Grant Program — Each county commissioner is provided $50,000 to be distributed to local non -profits throughout the fiscal year. Non -profits submit grant applications which are reviewed by the Board of Commissioners as they are received. Commissioners are afforded the ability to carryover funds from one fiscal year to the next. A total of $10,344 was carried over from FY 2008 to FY 2009. • Unallocated Grant Funds — In FY 2009, additional funds were set aside for grants that did not fit into any of the three established programs. In the past such allocations were referred to as "off -the -top." Thus far, $2,000 has been allocated in this manner as a match for the spay and neuter grants. Grant Program Type Budgeted Spent thru 2/09 I Projected Service Partners $172,500 $104,583 $156,875 Community Grant Program $300,000 $271,500 $286,500 Discretionary Grant Program $160,344 $105,802 $105,802 Unallocated Grant Funds $12,299 $2,000 $2,000 TOTAL GRANT EXPENDITURES $645,143 $483,885 $551,177 Potential Budget Shortfall due to Lower Revenue After distributing seven of eight quarterly payments to counties for the biennium, a total of $33.2 million has been distributed representing nearly a 9 percent less than budgeted. Deschutes County has experienced a 9 percent decline for FY 2009 after three quarter disbursement payments, or a projected $70,000 decline in revenue for FY 2009. There are several ways in which the total expenditures for the Video Lottery Fund will be reduced including the following: • Based on this shortfall in revenue, the Board of Commissioners suspended distribution of Discretionary Grants from the Video Lottery Fund for three months. This action will result in a $55,000 reduction in expenditures from budget. Once the 4th quarter payment is received, a decision will be made whether to continue the suspension of grant funds. • An additional $14,500 less will be spent than budgeted for the Community Grant Program. Only $286,500 in Community Grants was awarded against a budget of $300,000. 2 • Although all service partners will receive a payment each quarter, due to the timing of payments to COCOA and CASA, they will only receive three payments within FY 2009 saving $15,625 from the budgeted amount. • The contingency and capital outlay will not be spent totaling $5,142. Potential Budget Shortfall due to Rebalancing Plan On February 25, 2009, the Oregon State Legislature's Joint Ways & Means Committee released a 2007-2009 Rebalancing Plan identifying budgetary changes to address a projected $861 million shortfall in the 2007-09 biennium. Among the cuts being proposed was a $9.3 million reduction in Lottery Fund disbursements, including a $2 million reduction in payments to counties. This would result in an additional $50,000 reduction in Deschutes County's final disbursement payment of FY 2009. 1- Assumes 4th quarter payment of $103,062, a 15% drop year -over -year and an additional $50,000 reduction based on the rebalancing plan. 2- Assumes no new Discretionary Grants paid in FY 2009 and all other expenditures are as budgeted. Options to Compensate for Projected Deficit A total of $110,291 in additional spending from the Video Lottery Fund is projected by the end of the fiscal year. Based on the projected shortfall in revenue, it is necessary to reduce this spending by $28,892. The projected spending consists of the following: 1. EDCO Grant = $36,667 in four monthly payments 2. Adult Parole and Probation Transfer = $35,333 in four monthly payments 3. Bethlehem Inn Community Grant = $15,000 when MOU is signed as agreed 4. COCOA Grant = $8,125 in one quarterly payment scheduled for April 5. CASA Grant = $7,500 in one quarterly payment scheduled for April 6. AOC Membership Dues = $1,496 annual payment 7. Internal Service Charges = $3,365 in four monthly payments 8. Administration = $2,805 in four monthly payments Staff Recommendation: As a means to ensure the Video Lottery Find does not end FY 2009 with a deficit, it is recommended that the four remaining payment transfers to the Adult Parole and Probation Department be suspended. Additionally, it is recommended that $35,333 currently provided to the Juvenile Community Justice Department from the General Fund be redirected to the Adult Parole and Probation Department. It is also advised that the condition of this fund be reviewed again when the 4` quarter payment is received in early May 2009. 3 Budgeted Thru 2/09 Projected Revenue' $790,000 $556,829 $660,000 Expenditures2 $790,000 $578,601 $688,892 Surplus/(Deficit) $0 ($21,772) ($28,892) 1- Assumes 4th quarter payment of $103,062, a 15% drop year -over -year and an additional $50,000 reduction based on the rebalancing plan. 2- Assumes no new Discretionary Grants paid in FY 2009 and all other expenditures are as budgeted.

This program distributed grants to Deschutes County non-profit organizations operating consistent with county priorities in at least one of the following four interest areas: 1. Providing emergency food, clothing, and shelter to those who would otherwise go without these essentials. 2. Protection for abused and/or neglected individuals who lack resources to otherwise obtain such protection. 3. Health care, mental health care and addictions treatment for individuals who lack resources to otherwise obtain such care. 4. Other essential services to underserved and indigent populations, especially children and seniors. A selection committee consisting of Ken Wilhelm (Executive Director of the United Way in Deschutes County), Jan Griffin (Project Manager for the Nonprofit Association of Oregon), Renee Windsor (Chair of the Commission on Children and Families Board), Dave Kanner (County Administrator) and Dave Inbody (Assistant to the County Administrator), reviewed 54 applications and recommended grant funding for 24 organizations. Applicants were reviewed based on the following five criteria: 1. Organizational stability and solvency 2. Connection to county funding objectives 3. Funds provide leverage to organization for receipt of other funds 4. Program complements existing county services 5. Uniqueness of services provided in Deschutes County The following is a list of FY 2009 Community Grant recipients: • Alyce Hatch Center ($5,000) - Playground renovations and improvements • Assistance League of Bend ($7,500) — Operation School Bell • Bend's Community Center ($20,000) — Remodel the center's kitchen a • Bethlehem Inn ($30,000) - Beds, meals, case management, transportation, accountability -based programming, educational opportunities and employment assistance to homeless individuals. ■ Central Cascade Lines ($5,000) — Floor model copier • Central Oregon Veterans Outreach ($15,000) — Hire an executive director • Deschutes County Healthy Beginnings ($10,000) — Expand ability to provide early childhood health and developmental screenings, referral, and follow-up services. • Deschutes Family Recovery ($23,000) — Family Drug Court wraparound services • Family Access Network ($15,000) — FAN advocates ■ Family Kitchen ($6,000) — Computer, software and administrative equipment to keep records, track supplies, coordinate volunteers and track donors to better provide nutritious meals in the most cost-effective way to more individuals. • Full Circle Outreach Center ($12,000) — Provide resourcing, supplies, re- education and voucher assistance for those in need. ■ KIDS Center ($15,000) — Physical Abuse and Neglect Project • La Pine Christmas Basket Association ($2,500) — Christmas food baskets • La Pine Community Kitchen ($15,000) — Provide low- and moderate -income residents of South County with basic nutritional, physical and social needs. ■ La Pine Senior Activity Center ($4,000) — Nutrition, health wellness and education, socialization and referral resources to seniors. • Latino Community Association ($10,000) — Basic Assistance Program ■ Mountain Star Family Relief Nursery ($10,000) — Staff position to provide mental health services for children ■ Neighborlmpact ($25,000) — Partially fund salaries and operating costs for the Food Recovery Program • Opportunity Foundation ($5,000) — Support with housing, medical care, employment and other services for people with mental disabilities. • Partnership to End Poverty ($5,000) — Project Homeless Connect • Pot of Gold ($10,000) — Support the needs of the center • Saving Grace ($15,000) — Emergency shelter program for victims of domestic violence and/or sexual assault • St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank ($10,000) - Provide food, shelter and other assistance to those living in poverty, unemployed, mentally disabled or physically disabled. 2 • Volunteers in Medicine ($11,500) — Support and expand an internship program providing clinical experience in mental health to Oregon State University medical students. FY 2010 Community Grant Program Based on input provided by the Board of Commissioners at their annual goal setting retreat on January 22, 2009, funding for a FY 2010 Community Grant Program was included in the initial Video Lottery Fund budget request. Due to an anticipated decline in video lottery funds, $250,000 was identified in the budget request for this program. It is staff's recommendation that this program be continued in FY 2010 maintaining a focus on the four interest areas and making selections based on the five criteria. It is further recommended that a sixth item be added to the criteria focused on an organization's cooperative efforts to leverage other non-profit organizational activity in Deschutes County. In working through the application process in FY 2009, it became clear that many organizations utilize the resources and shared interests of fellow organizations in achieving their missions. In challenging economic times, it is even more critical that non-profit organizations take full advantage of the wealth of resources and expertise of other area non -profits. The addition of this item to the criteria will not only encourage such activity, but will potentially extend the impact of the grant funding to a greater number of non-profit organizations. 3 Deschutes County Board of Commissioners 1300 NW Wall St., Suite 200, Bend, OR 97701-1960 (541) 388-6570 - Fax (541) 385-3202 - www.deschutes.org WORK SESSION AGENDA DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS 1:30 P.M., MONDAY, MARCH 16, 2009 1.
