He said that in the past, Lane County, Eugene, and Springfield, have donated roughly $18,000/year each for staffing, etc. of the PSCC. Vice Chair Trapp reported that the City of Springfield had ceased their PSCC donation a few years ago; he also said that the JAG grant that the County uses to pay their share into the PSCC on hold this year, and he was wondering if the PSCC itself had any ideas as per future funding. Mr. Dumire asked if Lane County needed to find $18,000 or $36,000. Vice Chair Trapp said it would be $18,000 the County would need to come up with since the JAG grant was not awarded. He said possibilities were considering an additional allocation of Grant-in-Aid or Justice Reinvestment Grant Program funds or all departments represented on the PSCC sharing funding of PSCC. Lane County Board of Commissioners Mr. Bozievich announced the CJC Justice Reinvestment Grant Review Committee met recently; he wanted those present to know that the implementation of the JRGP funds were under very close scrutiny from the Legislators on that Committee. He also reported the County Budget Committee was recommending use of $4.4 million of Road Funds to fund 6.0 FTE Sheriff s Deputies (1 officer 24/7).

Lane County Administration Mr. Rikhoff relayed that Mr. Mokrohisky offered his apologies for his absence. He said the funding order for local courthouses was: Lane, Clackamas, Benton, and Linn. He reported the FUSE Program presentation at the last PSCC meeting was so salient and informative that the County had been asked to give that presentation before State Legislators in Salem in September.

Budget Committee There was no report from the Budget Committee. B. Behavioral Health & Criminal Justice Workgroup Ms. Nichols offered the PSCC an update on the Behavioral Health & Criminal Justice Workgroup. She said Lane County sends a large group of Aid and Assist clients to the State Hospital exceeding the County s bed allocation with 25 sent the week prior to the PSCC meeting and 22 the week of. Carla Ayres, Manager, Lane County Behavioral Health led a discussion at the Mental Health Summit about this problem and a list of possible solutions was generated. The group also discussed the lack of housing options for this population. Mr. Homan commended Ms. Nichols for her work. He expressed frustration at the State Hospital for pushing back on counties. Ms. Perlow clarified that the 19 beds were allocated based on the population of Lane County, and not the population affected by severe and persistent mental illness; she said she did not agree with the way the State made that determination. Mayor Vinis announced it was a goal of hers was to create a new Shelter Care Shangri-La program in the Shankle facility to serve this population like the Royal Ave. facility. Chair Solomon said this would be a perfect opportunity to employ a Justice Reinvestment model to provide funding to counties to incentivize them to send fewer people to State facilities. C.

He stated the intent is to provide information on what is happening and how parts of the system are interrelated. Mr. Buckwald, Mr. Crapser, and Mr. Hardy offered the PSCC a report and PowerPoint presentation on RLAN. Chair Solomon asked if the beds in question had been used for Federal offenders, and if RLAN was a way to get more local offenders in those beds. Mr. Hardy said that was correct. Mr. Rikhoff wondered how a Parole Officer would be assigned with RLAN. Mr. Dumire replied that the assignments would be distributed across available Parole Officers.
