The county signed the 10-year lease on the Mason Building in October 1977. effective Feb 1, 1978 Staff assistant Mike Bateson said the county paid the $8,100 monthly rent for February and March The county has refused to pay rent on the building since March, when it found structural and other alleged defects in the building C onsultants from the F a c ility Sciences Corp of Beverly Hills, Calif , were studying the county's office space problem. Bateson said, when they found that part of the Mason Building slowly was breaking away and slipping down a hill toward the Clackamas River Large cracks appear in the building s walls and windows Other defects in the building, the county charged, include inadequate wiring, insufficient fire doors and walls, restrooms inaccessible to the handicapped and a defective heating system The county asked the Essex company to correct these alleged defects in March, Bateson said, but the company did not comply. The commissioners then voted not to pay any further rent until the defects were corrected Why didn’t the county know about the defects before it signed the lease in October* “ Most of the problems happened after our research,” Bateson ex plained The previous tenants hadn’t reported any problems, he said Bateson admitted, “ I t ’s partly our fault We didn’t take the time to go over it with a fine-toothed comb.” Learning from its mistakes, Bateson said, the county staff used a fine toothed comb in inspecting the second floor of the Transamerica Building in Oregon City The county signed a lease on the floor in June and w ill move the commissioners’ and county counsel s offices there soon t] The commissioners had intended to house all the Human Resources Department offices and the civil ser vice and finance offices in the Mason Building. Bateson said 'Die latter two now are in the county courthouse, w hile the Human Resources offices are scattered in downtown Oregon City, the Red Soils area on Kaen Road, the Marylhurst campus near West Linn and Milwaukie. All but the Hed Soils offices are rented Bateson said the county may try to get out of the Mason Building lease. Commission Stan Skoko emphasized, " I ’m not involved in it.

Generally, the state handles probation and parole for serious felons, while the county handles offenders guilty of class C felonies (including theft, reduced burglary and drug charges) and misdemeanors. County corrections also supervises the antabuse program , w hich helps alcoholics fight their ad diction and provides pre sentence investigations for all offenders after they have been convicted. sentencing. The same team of counselors would handle a “ client” in all stages of the proceedings The report recommends the county start a Release on Own Recognizance (ROR) program, which would allow “ trustworthy” defendants to be released without bail before trial. Criteria for such release would include length of residence in the com munity, local fam ily ties, employment, past record and the seriousness of the crime.
