3. Public Comment
None was offered.
4. Immunity for Emergency Medical Assistance
John Hummel spoke about the 2015 bill as passed by the legislature, providing
for immunity from drug-related offenses for emergency medical assistance. (A
measure summary is attached for reference.)
The concept is that if someone is experiencing an overdose, there should not be
a dis-incentive for them or someone else to call for emergency medical
assistance. If someone needs help, evidence found as a result of the call can’t
be used for arrest, in most cases. They tried to strike a balance, if someone is in
distress and it is a situation involving a relatively minor infraction.
However, if there is an outstanding warrant for a different offense, they could
be arrested. The warrant, if not handled then, would still remain in the system.
Immunity could be for the caller or the person in distress. Law enforcement can
act sometime after the incident. It is not clear if this applies to both adults and
juveniles, but he will find out and advise the group.
5. Community Justice Drug and Alcohol Treatment Services
Deevy Holcomb referred to a handout regarding State funding grants that
require treatment of certain types of offenders. All of this is meant to lead to
an outcome of decreased recidivism. She explained the color-coding: red areas
highlighted are covered by partners; red and blue may be covered by partners
and the County.
The Oregon Health Plan had some funding for more research into what works
best. It is recognized that many offenders are getting good treatment through
OHP, but were not getting help with the risk factors, especially high-risk
offenders. Sober housing is a big barrier; and recovery mentors are an
important provision. OHP would not spend money on these two things.
Mr. Hales stated that a lot of this depends on the type of offender. This work
has been implemented for a long time, but it is now shown on paper.
Minutes of PSCC Meeting Tuesday, August 2, 2016 Page 3 of 9
Ms. Holcomb said there are about 1,500 parolees in the County. At least 20%
are receiving these services. The outcomes can now be appropriately measured,
and next year they will be able to show details regarding how well all of these
support services are working.
Mr. Wark said that the 20% number is fairly accurate. These programs are
directed to a difficult population to get them to comply with and utilize the
treatment services available. Appropriate housing is the hardest part to address.
6. PSCC Coordinator
Mr. Hales stated he spoke with staff and Madeleine Dardeau about efforts to
coordinate local PSCC activities, and how the Criminal Justice Commission
feels this program should work.
Ms. Dardeau explained that the CJC applied for a federal justice grant for this
purpose. There are already programs in Marion and Lane counties. The
concept is to allow PSCC to target what issues they feel are important. These
coordinators would help PSCC groups across the state.
They realize that Justice Reinvestment efforts need to happen at the county
level. These bodies can fully engage in this work and other programs. PSCC
groups across the state have few resources available to them, and PSCC work
often is added to an already heavy workload for many. Most of these groups do
not engage well together like Deschutes County does. She hopes to provide
help for counties that are struggling with this.
There is a lot of value in this position, when shared between counties. It could
make its activities more professional overall, by using county groupings.
However, they realize that the counties can be very different from each other,
regarding what they need, their programs, and how they operate. Therefore,
working with AOC creates a natural partnership. AOC would employ the
coordinators; AOC would handle the human resources side of things, but the
projects and work to be addressed are up to the counties. A neutral,
professional staff is important, and the focus needs to remain local. AOC and
CJC are committed to a hands-off approach, allowing work capacity to increase
for the PSCC groups.
Minutes of PSCC Meeting Tuesday, August 2, 2016 Page 4 of 9
Ms. Dardeau explained that they should hear the results of the grant application
in October. There will be backup plan if they don’t get the grant they need for
this area. They believe in this idea, and cross-systems collaboration; and would
provide the legwork to involve all stakeholders, to keep things moving.
There is value in having someone available to coordinate what is important to
the groups, which can vary widely throughout the state. They are working with
Portland State University and its policy consensus center to help them
understand how to get data, bring people to the table, and how to get results
through the support of a network of their peers.
Mr. Hales asked where the person’s base location would be. Ms. Dardeau said
that this person would live in one of the counties and would be required to
spend equal time in each county. It will be based on population. Judge
Sullivan said some counties have a bigger population than others and their
priorities could be much different. Ms. Dardeau stated that they want to start
out handling each county as equally as possible. One county may need more
assistance than another, so they don’t know yet how the time division would
work out. They are also discussing this with Jefferson and Crook counties, but
would prefer it involve just two counties. The person needs to be able to do
meaningful work.
Judge Sullivan asked who assigns the tasks. Ms. Dardeau replied that the Chair
of each PSCC assigns the tasks. Tom Anderson asked that, if there is a dispute
regarding the demands on this person, what would happen; and whether AOC
would resolve this. Patrick Sieng replied that it would be likely that OAC
would assist. Their goal is to handle the HR, equipment, travel costs and other
issues so that the PSCC groups don’t have to worry about it, and to keep the
process as local as possible.
Keith Witcosky asked what kind of tasks they are considering for this person.
Ms. Dardeau provided a handout with a job description, and said it could vary
widely depending on the county. She reviewed the job description, and pointed
out some things that might be important to this group and some that may not be
relevant. PSCC’s need to ask, what they could do as a body if they had some
additional help. Some already have staff, and some feel they don’t need the
assistance. Some are networking well with each other, while others are not
doing so at all. She anticipates there will be training twice a year, and ongoing
training for the person involved. The additional work term would be probably
two years. Training would be multi-day each time.

They are planning on moving forward regardless of the outcome of the grant
application; however, without the grant, the scope will change somewhat. They
would start in October with the hiring process to get coordinators in place by
January 2017.
Mr. Hales confirmed that the PSCC’s will be allowed to make the selection.
Ms. Dardeau said that they are looking at the salary level, which needs to be
adequate because they want good people. They are not sure what kind of
educational requirements should be expected. This can be different from
county to county.
Mr. Hummel stated that he is excited about this. It is hard for the departments
to organize things together, and the meetings could be better coordinated. If
there was a staff person to handle some of the extra work, he feels it would be
beneficial. It helps to know what other PSCC’s are doing as well. They hear
bits and pieces about this, but nothing in depth. Mr. Anderson asked if this
might help with the Deschutes Safe program; Mr. Hummel said it could.
Commissioner Baney asked about a sustainability plan after three years. Ms.
Dardeau replied that Justice Reinvestment could partially fund it, and other
sources if the PSCC’s found value in the program. They are only committing to
three years, during which time the local groups can decide if there it is has been
worthwhile. This will also allow groups to find ways to continue some funding
as well. Judge Sullivan stated that this could be expensive for some of the
smaller groups. He also said that there needs to be strict confidentiality of
information as well. He wants to see a background check and signed
agreements for any person in this position.
Mr. Hales stated that the person needs to understand who they are responsible
to, the employer. They need to have a contact person at AOC. For the most
part, it will take some effort of the Chair to help make this happen. He does not
see a particular downside, and it is a good opportunity.
Commissioner Baney said a lot of funding is based on population. Deschutes
County does a lot of regional work, but also ends up with a lot of the expense
because of the differences in population. Ms. Dardeau noted that a lot of grants
are meant to get something started. During the first three years, they will learn
what works and what doesn’t. What happens after three years might be much
different. Many areas might find value and be excited about it, while others
may not.
Minutes of PSCC Meeting Tuesday, August 2, 2016 Page 6 of 9
Commissioner Baney stated that bigger counties often get boxed in when
involved in regional work. Mr. Hales asked if AOC is going to do the hiring
process and then make the assignments. Ms. Dardeau replied that the CJC and
AOC will help with the process and are open to suggestions, but the counties
should do the selection.
Mr. Anderson stated that it might be helpful for the person to report back to his
or her PSCC group regarding what is going on legislatively as well, especially
on issues that could affect public safety.
Ms. Dardeau said she would like to get things set up here between now and
October. They are talking with both Jefferson and Crook counties as well. She
needs to know if Deschutes County’s PSCC is interested it and whether sharing
with another county is agreeable. Then there can be discussions about the
hiring process, duties and other particulars later.
Mr. Hales said that if this group is interested, there would be a formal
agreement with AOC. Ms. Dardeau stated that if this PSCC does not want to do
this, she and Mr. Sieng need to know. Judge Sullivan noted that there might be
conditions that come up later that may or may not be acceptable. Ms. Dardeau
said they hope to work through those. They want to spend all of the funds and
be able to include all interested groups.
Mr. Reinke said that Deschutes County is much bigger than many, but the
smaller counties have the same positions. He thinks the time might be split
50/50 because the smaller county may need more attention at first. There might
be an equity issue after three years. He asked if it might be better to have
Deschutes stand alone, and have Crook and Jefferson partner. Ms. Dardeau
indicated that they are studying this but want it to include collaboration between
the various PSCC’s. They prefer to assign as few half-time positions as
possible. Mr. Reinke said that Deschutes County could probably be full-time
by itself.
Mr. Hales said that they won’t know for sure about some of the aspects until
they do it. Mr. Witcosky asked that if they decide after two years it isn’t
working, whether they can opt out at that point. Mr. Sieng said he thought so.
Mr. Hales suggested that it is a good idea, to be able to opt out or drop out.
Minutes of PSCC Meeting Tuesday, August 2, 2016 Page 7 of 9
Defense attorney Jacques DeKalb explained that he does not represent an
agency, but feels these agencies have done excellent work under Mr. Hale’s
supervision and with presenting their programs. He would want to take more
time for agency discussions about what work they may want to give to someone
who is outside the system. Mr. Hales said that they won’t give up anything.
This won’t change. There is a reference regarding doing grants; some counties
might want to do this. What he senses is an interest in PSCC doing more than
the core responsibility of approving just a few grants and plans each year.
Much could be addressed outside of the grant portion.
Judge Brady stated that it might involve a discussion at the next meeting
regarding whether to continue business as usual, blessing things statutorily, or
being a little more proactive in moving the purpose of the group forward. That
is where this person would fit in. It comes down to a matter of what the group
wants to do or look like.
Mr. Hummel stated that they are good at sharing information, and they can
continue this. But if they want to create goals and ideas and ways to achieve
those, that is where someone with capacity could come in. Most department
leaders don’t have the time to do this on their own. It is a question of whether
they want PSCC to go to the next level, or remain static. He added that
Multnomah County is doing that next step; Jefferson County probably is able to
do very little. This group is kind of in the middle.
Judge Sullivan said the person would be directed by the Chair of the group, and
could be gathering data and carrying out tasks to help with decision-making.
They need to make sure the person does what they need done. They have
accomplished a lot over the years, and respect each other’s work. Some of the
most important business can be accomplished due to the fact that they can
gather together neutrally. It is up to the leadership to make sure the person is
doing is what expected. All departments are faced with the need of more
information or data.
Jeff Hall said that even if they keep doing just what they are doing now, there is
already a lot of extra work, especially for Mr. Hales. There is a level of work
that could be taken on right away, and the group could then bring up the game.
Mr. Sullivan stated that Mr. Hales does take on a lot of extra responsibility and
they meet often to discuss PSCC. The unshared secret is that there is support
for what is being done, but it is coming through the County’s efforts. It might
be good to have someone to handle that additional workload.
Minutes of PSCC Meeting Tuesday, August 2, 2016 Page 8 of 9
Keith Witcosky moved approval to go forward; John Hummel seconded. The
vote was unanimous.
_____________________________
Judge Brady confirmed that the person would be full time, but that no county
will get all of that time. Ms. Dardeau stated that it needs to make sense
geographically. Judge Sullivan asked if a half-time coordinator is acceptable,
whether or not they are coordinating with another county. Mr. Anderson stated
that sharing full-time is better than having just a half-time person, due to
training and other obligations. He supports full-time in either case. Mr. Reinke
added that a half-time person is a completely different candidate pool.
Commissioner Baney said they can likely manage and clarify expectations
ahead of time.
Commissioner Baney moved that they agree to partner; John Hummel
seconded. The vote was unanimous.
7. Election of Officers
Judge Sullivan said he has been Chair for at least twelve years, and wants to
serve in a different capacity now that he is retired. This is an opportunity for
someone who is closer to what goes on day to day. New officers now need to
be elected.
Commissioner Baney said Judge Sullivan has kept things together and helped
with its success. She thanked him for his leadership skills.
Steve Reinke nominated Ken Hales.
Ken hales nominated Commissioner Baney as Chair, and Michael Sullivan as
Vice Chair.
There were no other nominations.
Mr. Hales explained that he cannot serve as Chair for the next three years. He
feels approving the nominations he made would be a great next step.
Judge Brady seconded the nomination for Commissioner Baney as Chair.
The vote was unanimous.
Commissioner Baney nominated Michael Sullivan as Vice Chair. Judge
Sullivan said he would accept.
Judge Brady seconded.
The motion was unanimous.
8. Other Business
Being no further items discussed, the meeting adjourned at 5:00 p.m.
