So what this is 209 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,559 really doing is asking them, it is a 210 00:18:34,559 --> 00:18:38,240 petition to require them OA to do a a 211 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,720 public comment period to take input 212 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,880 about some of the concerns about uh 213 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,880 residential facilities that they are in 214 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,440 their rulemaking process not hearing the 215 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,679 counties about. So uh maybe director 216 00:18:49,679 --> 00:18:51,280 Manfren can talk a little bit about this 217 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,840 and why we're recommending that uh the 218 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,440 board uh send this letter. 219 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,039 >> Okay. Is this on? 220 00:18:59,039 --> 00:18:59,280 >> Yeah. 221 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,120 >> Okay. Thank you. There's no more lights 222 00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:03,360 so I can't tell. Uh so thank you for 223 00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:05,919 bringing this. I think uh to be really 224 00:19:05,919 --> 00:19:09,039 clear the ask is to support Marian 225 00:19:09,039 --> 00:19:11,120 County's request to go through a 226 00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:13,440 process. So it's not dictating any 227 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,280 specific outcome at this point. Really 228 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:16,799 just looking at going through the 229 00:19:16,799 --> 00:19:18,960 process. Yamho County doesn't operate 230 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,679 any residential programs themselves. 231 00:19:21,679 --> 00:19:24,960 However, we do have staff who work in 232 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,039 residential programs through a contract 233 00:19:27,039 --> 00:19:28,160 to provide the behavioral health 234 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,600 supports within that facility. And the 235 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,280 main things that I'm really concerned 236 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:38,160 about right now are some of the language asks that have not 237 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,720 been uh moved forward are really around 238 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,000 safety of staff. We have not had issues 239 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,480 that have um come up, but our programs 240 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,559 are are relatively small. And quite 241 00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:50,720 honestly, the the concerns that we have 242 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,320 are that these do happen in other 243 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:53,919 facilities and they could just as easily 244 00:19:53,919 --> 00:19:55,679 happen in ours. And we want to have the 245 00:19:55,679 --> 00:19:57,280 protections in place to make sure that 246 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,840 we have the tools at our disposal to say 247 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,280 things like it is not okay for people to 248 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,320 carry weapons in residential facilities. 249 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,240 It is not okay for people with the 250 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,720 behavioral health behaviors that are uh 251 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,559 requiring them to be in the facility to 252 00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:14,320 be consuming alcohol and drugs and 253 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,600 things like that that we know will 254 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,360 exacerbate the concerns that we're 255 00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:19,120 already trying to manage and therefore 256 00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:20,880 create safety risks. There's other 257 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:26,559 pieces in there around some of the admin administrative issues. We have 258 00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:32,559 less of those because again we're not um actually administering the program. 259 00:20:32,559 --> 00:20:34,159 We're just providing service on-site. 260 00:20:34,159 --> 00:20:35,840 However, in looking at the request from 261 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,919 Marian County, they all seem incredibly 262 00:20:37,919 --> 00:20:39,440 reasonable to me. 263 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,360 >> And the really important thing is is 264 00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:44,640 really safety to um to the staff because 265 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,120 this doesn't the way it's written now is 266 00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:49,360 it you have something has to happen to 267 00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:52,000 someone before you can take action. Uh a 268 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,159 staff uh or the organization can take 269 00:20:54,159 --> 00:20:56,000 action. Now, we're saying, "Hey, wait a 270 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,919 second.

Is that a is that a 596 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,320 violation of constitutional rights and 597 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:05,840 that there's no warrant here, but you're 598 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,840 capturing that type of of of 599 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,399 information. So, um, anyway, that's 600 00:33:10,399 --> 00:33:12,240 something we need to watch out for at 601 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,720 ODOT. And also reached out to Rachel 602 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:19,279 Thomas in, uh, she's taken the place of Will Worthy who's on vacation. And 603 00:33:19,279 --> 00:33:22,240 she said, "The only cameras we have are 604 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,720 speed and red light cameras at Villa and 605 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,159 99W and a speed camera on 99W heading 606 00:33:28,159 --> 00:33:30,480 into downtown. There have been rumors 607 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,200 about the Flock cameras, and she says it 608 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,880 might be the ODOT um, road construction 609 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,799 cameras." So anyway, folks have been 610 00:33:38,799 --> 00:33:40,159 reaching out just trying to find out 611 00:33:40,159 --> 00:33:42,240 what these cameras are. 612 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:43,840 >> All right, 613 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,840 fair war meeting was last Thursday. It 614 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,840 went well. Uh and we hit a record 615 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,919 attendance uh this year. Uh we were 616 00:33:49,919 --> 00:33:52,159 31,000ish last year and we were over 617 00:33:52,159 --> 00:33:53,919 36,000 618 00:33:53,919 --> 00:33:56,399 this year. So yeah, we were up across 619 00:33:56,399 --> 00:33:58,720 the board between 18 and 30% on our 620 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,720 vendors. So all in all, great fair. It 621 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,799 continues to be well. So, we need to 622 00:34:04,799 --> 00:34:06,480 keep kind of keeping track of that far 623 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,879 as what it looks like to upgrade our 624 00:34:08,879 --> 00:34:11,520 fairgrounds. I know there's fairs in our 625 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,159 vicinity that are struggling, but we are 626 00:34:14,159 --> 00:34:16,240 the opposite of that. We keep growing. 627 00:34:16,240 --> 00:34:18,000 Uh we keep doing better every year, and 628 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,200 so we need to make sure that we pay 629 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:25,200 attention. Uh Monday, um we gave a tour 630 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:29,040 as parkway committee to our uh hired on 631 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,599 grant writers for the by Newberg Dundy 632 00:34:31,599 --> 00:34:33,599 bypass. 633 00:34:33,599 --> 00:34:36,320 going to be for in preparation for next 634 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,440 spring in the event that the federal 635 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,520 government releases a rural grant, 636 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,800 infogrant or uh mega grant opportunity 637 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,960 for us to um basically ask for federal 638 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,839 funding uh to complete the bypass. So, 639 00:34:51,839 --> 00:34:56,639 we started at phase at the very um well 640 00:34:56,639 --> 00:35:00,160 the Rex Hill end of phase 2B. Uh there's 641 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,000 no construction there, but we're in the 642 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,320 process of purchasing right ofway for 643 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,440 that. It was very nice of ODOT to have 644 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:08,880 their staff that have been working on 645 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,520 this for a lot of years. They could sit 646 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,119 there, we park, and they can talk 647 00:35:13,119 --> 00:35:15,119 intelligently while we're standing there 648 00:35:15,119 --> 00:35:17,359 looking where we're at in these phases. 649 00:35:17,359 --> 00:35:18,960 So, we stopped there. We stopped at 650 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,640 Shahalum Glenn Golf Course where the 651 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,200 bypass will come down through. Uh there 652 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,760 was some explanation of hurdles uh on 653 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,240 property acquisitions and then we moved 654 00:35:28,240 --> 00:35:30,480 on to the current construction phase 655 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:35,680 which is 2A at Wooki and discussed uh 656 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,839 traffic and how it's going to help not 657 00:35:37,839 --> 00:35:39,680 solve but help and then what other 658 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,599 overpasses will be going in there with 659 00:35:41,599 --> 00:35:43,520 phase 2B when they connect into Rex 660 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,640 Hill. And then we went on to the last 661 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,280 not necessarily phase but it will 662 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,119 interact with which is McDougall 663 00:35:51,119 --> 00:35:53,119 interchange and we talked about the 664 00:35:53,119 --> 00:35:54,800 future roundabout there and how it's 665 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,160 going to interact with uh the bypass. So 666 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,280 it was a full tour uh showed impacts. Uh 667 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,280 the grant writers gathered a lot of 668 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,200 information. Hopefully in the next eight 669 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:06,560 months we'll have something prepared for 670 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,560 next spring for the federal government 671 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,599 or that opportunity if it arises. Um, 672 00:36:11,599 --> 00:36:14,000 and it went it was very well attended 673 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,800 and it went well. Um, it was a week of 674 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,839 ODOT. I had a a meeting Tuesday with 675 00:36:19,839 --> 00:36:22,800 ODOT and 676 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,520 there's a kickoff meeting for the 677 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,400 planning of very preliminary stages. So, 678 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:29,920 you'll start hearing more and more 679 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,680 updates probably throughout the year, and a half, uh, for Lafayette 680 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:38,720 Highway and 18 intersection that is the 681 00:36:38,720 --> 00:36:40,480 number one most dangerous intersection 682 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,480 in the state of Oregon. So, ODOT knows 683 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,320 it. It's on their radar. We are in 684 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,280 planning. U, we're not fully funded, but 685 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:48,880 we have about a year and a half to two 686 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,040 years to as we start, we're fully funded 687 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,119 for design, and that's the first phase. 688 00:36:53,119 --> 00:36:55,040 And as we progress through that and we 689 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:56,560 start getting designs done, then we'll 690 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,160 know costs and then we'll be able to 691 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,800 start getting funding and ODOT knows 692 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,560 that that is a number one priority to 693 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,119 get that project done. So that's 694 00:37:05,119 --> 00:37:07,680 starting. Um I'm part of those meetings 695 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,680 so I can continually give update on top 696 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,599 of parkway committee also being involved 697 00:37:11,599 --> 00:37:15,040 in that. Um 698 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,720 yesterday was another meeting at ODOT um 699 00:37:18,720 --> 00:37:20,880 but it was more geared towards uh the 700 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,480 connect Oregon grant funding that's 701 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,640 coming through. And so as an a as a 702 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,880 member of the act for Yamill County, 703 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,280 we're going through and prioritizing uh 704 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,200 projects in our region. So it's not 705 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,599 necessarily Yill County, it's just our 706 00:37:33,599 --> 00:37:37,119 ACT region. So, we had two projects that 707 00:37:37,119 --> 00:37:40,640 made the list after the initial rankings 708 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:45,680 and one of them was um the Aurora 709 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,720 airport. They want to upgrade access 710 00:37:48,720 --> 00:37:50,640 roads around the airport because it's 711 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,480 becoming a very popular airport and so 712 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:53,920 they need to upgrade some of the roads 713 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,720 for access to that airport. Uh the other 714 00:37:56,720 --> 00:37:58,960 one is our own uh airport here in 715 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,400 Mcmminville. Um not as much of an ask 716 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,599 which is good. We we as a as a committee 717 00:38:05,599 --> 00:38:07,119 and we went around the table our 718 00:38:07,119 --> 00:38:09,839 different areas of region 2, we agreed 719 00:38:09,839 --> 00:38:12,079 to actually move our project up in 720 00:38:12,079 --> 00:38:14,640 exchange for moving some other projects 721 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,359 down. Um it was a group effort and I 722 00:38:17,359 --> 00:38:19,760 thought it went well and um our project 723 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:23,920 at McMinnville is for a new 724 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,240 um 725 00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:29,280 new airplane terminal. I I say terminal. 726 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,119 It's not like a massive. It's like 727 00:38:31,119 --> 00:38:33,680 literally just a little house or little 728 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,480 office that when we get uh customers 729 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:37,760 coming in, they actually have a place. 730 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:42,079 Right now, it's just a uh temporary 731 00:38:42,079 --> 00:38:45,119 um I guess office on wheels is our 732 00:38:45,119 --> 00:38:47,359 terminal. Now, the second part of that 733 00:38:47,359 --> 00:38:49,599 is there's a World War II hanger there. 734 00:38:49,599 --> 00:38:51,520 Right in the middle by the fuel tanks 735 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:57,119 that's going to get upgraded also and taken care of. So, uh it looks good. 736 00:38:57,119 --> 00:38:59,200 We've we moved some things around. We're 737 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,280 on the list. Um, we'll see if the 738 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,359 Connect uh, Oregon uh, committee that 739 00:39:03,359 --> 00:39:05,920 chooses see what their rankings are and 740 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,280 hopefully we know something in the next 741 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,520 few months. 742 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,119 Macfire boards tonight at 6:00 p.m. 743 00:39:13,119 --> 00:39:15,599 and the state fair starts Friday. If 744 00:39:15,599 --> 00:39:17,440 you're into that, I would suggest that 745 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,960 you go to it. Our families goes multiple 746 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:22,480 times 747 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,880 uh, throughout the I think it's like 10 748 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:26,880 days. So, it goes to September 7th. So, 749 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,880 there's multiple days that you can enjoy 750 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,839 the opportunity and uh we enjoy it every 751 00:39:31,839 --> 00:39:33,760 year. Go get yourself some scones and go 752 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,560 to the Dairy Women's Ice Cream Booth. It 753 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,160 is the best ice cream. 754 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,640 So, if there is nothing else for the 755 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,520 good of the order, 756 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:50,119 I'm going to close this out at
