Clackamas County has been awarded grant funding for the 2025-2027 biennium with 10% of the award designated for community based conservative organization (victim services). Clackamas County, as shared in our July 17, 2025, meeting, received applications from Clackamas County Women’s Services, the Children’s Center, and Northwest Family Services, formed a subcommittee to review funding, and propose funding levels. There is approximately $10,000 in excess the CDC has awarded, and Captain Chandler proposes working with the original sub-committee Director Mary Rumbaugh was leading to determine the most equitable distribution of the excess funding. The council is in favor of the sub-committee convening to determine additional award/funding. Vice-Chair Chandler directed Paula McDonald to set up a meeting with our sub-committee members. The final proposed funding for our community victim service partners will be shared with this committee.

3. Discussion and Action – Behavioral Health Local Plan Community Engagement Mary Rumbaugh, Director Health, Housing, & Human Services, Karen Kerns, Director Behavioral Health, Kathy Turner, Consultant
   • Mary Rumbaugh shared with the council that one of the new requirements for behavioral health divisions, who hold a contract with the State of Oregon as a community mental health program, is a behavioral health local plan. The local plan is intended to line up with the state’s prioritization of the population. Mary introduced Kathy Turner who walked through some of the framework on the State’s prioritization of populations and how the state prioritizes funding, including aid and assist, civil commitments, psychiatric board, mental illness within the justice system, and risk of removal from housing. Charles Gallia commented that the priorities seem to contradict some of the messaging that OHA is sending through their priority metrics. Mary noted this as well and affirmed what we’re seeing is accurate. Christina McMahan inquired about aid and assist for juveniles, Mary affirmed juveniles under the jurisdiction of a psychiatric board (PSRB) are prioritized for treatment and monitoring. Mary shared information pertaining to HB2005, which expands the criteria around civil commitments and noted we still have no appropriate avenues for these individuals who could be placed on hold until committed. Bill Stewart and Kevin Leik commented on the data and tracking options of those released, and risk they potentially represent.
   • The draft plan (attached) and budget are due to the State on October 1, 2025, with final approval by December 31, 2025. The information shared today will be presented to the Clackamas County Board of Commissioners on November 4, 2025.
