Main Heppner f 676-9481 By Doris Brosnan Tobacco educator Karen Masshoff of the Public Health Department presented information about tobacco issues, including her concern about preemptive actions intended to undo local ordinances prohibiting smoke-free workplaces, during the March 7 session of the Morrow County Court. Masshoff clarified that the county department is not a member of the Tobacco Free Coalition of Oregon. A representative of that organization has complimented Morrow County, highlighted in the Tobacco Salem Update for passage of a tobacco resolution, for being forward- thinking in tobacco prevention. In discussion of the tobacco settlement, Masshoff reported hearing several different figures for Oregon’s share. She also shared additional information on tobacco- related new s items and passed out an invitation to attend a smoke-free event at the Heppner bowling alley on March 15. Director of Public Health Laura McElligott spoke to the court about the Family Planning Expansion Project, in which Arlington has asked to be included. Informed of the ability of the Health Department to handle the added load without added personnel, the court requested McElligott to first speak to the Gilliam County Judge before proceeding. District Attorney David C. Allen discussed with the court the medical examiner position and contract and the complications resulting from most funding for the position lying in the Health Department. McElligott addressed the issue, as well, providing history o f the method of contracting the position and identification of the budgeted items relating to the position. After discussion of the situation, the court, McElligott and Allen agreed to a transfer of related line items to the district attorney's office budget and removal of the same from the Health Department budget. Allen presented a memorandum o f understanding with Morrow County, Domestic Violence Services and Community Corrections for a renewal of the district attorney's domestic violence grant.i>»H|? explained changes m^lhei nfc\4r' agreement and thrneed to identify success and sustainability. Allen estimated that one third of his office's caseload is domestic violence; adding child abuse raises the load to about half. McElligott informed the court of a 21st Century Community Learning Center grant to promote academics, arts, health and other activities for children, then families, and communities. ESD is applying for the federal grant and would contract with the Health Department to provide services at school sites. After some discussion of services available at each end of the county, and school district policy, the court approved McElligott's proceeding with the grant. Emergency Management Director Casey Beard discussed with the court a proposed contract with a consulting firm that would provide technical support to a permitting and monitoring position, for which the county awaits funding from the Army. County Counsel Bill Hanlon will review the contract. Beard announced planning for a March 22 CSEPP drill and he reported that the ESD is going to compile and distribute CSEPP response plans. He informed the court of his wish to pursue T-l line and video teleconferencing information. The court requested that he work with the ESD, to ensure compatibility with the telecommunications work the county is doing. Public Works Director Burke O'Brien reported to the court the Montana Avenue work completed, shoulders on Usage Lane nearly completed and the Blackhorse multi plate project slightly delayed. He recommended a right o f way at Montana and Sixth Street and reported that planks and beams for Balm Fork Bridge have arrived. The method of deck replacement, O'Brien explained, should preclude a detour. O'Brien apprised the court of the transfer station budget needs. Added cost o f the new training requirements combined with other costs would require a 20 percent increase in rates to make the operation break even. He noted that a $ 1 -per-can and $2-per-pickup-load increase would cover the budget deficit. Court members expressed concern about increasing rates. O'Brien offered to prepare a list of agencies that do not pay for usage. Other action of the court included the following: - approval of the purchase of a DAT tape dnve and a counter for a Morrow County Behavioral Health copier; - approval o f a revision to an agreement with the U.S. Forest Service for the snowmobile routes; - approval o f a contract with the National Institute for Chemical Studies for services to CSEPP; - approval of the sale of Lot 10, Block 7 o f the Hillview Estates Subdivision #2; - agreement to open applications for the planning commission; - reappointment of Commissioner John Wenholz to the Oregon Consortium; - approval of a new Oregon Consortium agreement; - appointment of Rex Mather to the Area Commission on Transportation; - approval of the new collective bargaining agreement with the Sheriffs Association; - approval of the agreement with the Morrow County School District for property taxes to be collected from Columbia River Processing for the school bond; - approval of a Behavioral Health sublease with the Services to Children and Families for space; - approval of a letter to inform neighboring property owners of a foreclosed property for sale.
