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.
