Moore described Decky's Heroes, a local foundation event that provided a $150 Fred Meyer gift card to every Clatsop County resident with an intellectual or developmental disability. “It was a huge wonderful shopping event…people were so happy and appreciative,” Moore said. Clatsop Behavioral Healthcare staff helped with registration and shopping; the foundation coordinated and funded the event.

Moore said the program hired an enhanced service coordinator, an outreach position named Carrie, to improve community outreach and connections with schools and employment providers. The program also contracted an in-person Spanish-language interpreter to improve access for Spanish-speaking families; Moore said the service replaces phone-only interpretation previously available. Moore said the program will restart required advisory committee meetings next week and that committee membership will include parents, supported individuals, employment providers and education representatives.

Moore provided basic 2024 service data: 47 applicants were screened; 30 were found eligible; the remainder were either ineligible or did not respond after eligibility determination. She also said the program has grown from about six or seven staff when she started to 13 employees today.

Council members and attendees thanked staff and volunteers for the Decky's Heroes event and raised questions about accessibility and feedback. Moore said families should contact their service coordinator or the CDDP office if they need accommodations at future events and that staff will incorporate suggestions into planning. Moore also said the program will use the advisory committee as a forum for ongoing feedback.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Clatsop County 01/02/2025 Human Services Advisory Council Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Clatsop Behavioral Healthcare’s developmental disabilities program resumed advisory committees, added an outreach coordinator and contracted an on-site Spanish interpreter after a holiday gift event drew strong community interest.","taxTitle","Clatsop County, Oregon","taxId",55348,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6467164,"Clatsop County Human Services Advisory Council approves agenda and November minutes, discusses bylaws and commissioner engagement",400,250000,650000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5809616-47d83cf6b121d80fea42f6431ef847ea&start=250&end=650","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5809616-47d83cf6b121d80fea42f6431ef847ea/thumbnail_250000.jpg","/articles/6467164/Clatsop-County/Oregon/Clatsop-County-Human-Services-Advisory-Council-approves-agenda-and-November-minutes-discusses-bylaws-and-commissioner-engagement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6467164-4b2895054e6e09167796f5306e5965ca/orig.mp4?Expires=1770521709&Signature=c8Nf46PfCliiEFsieE7ott6XyAA010qxtl7MjxpFWeL8fvLeDIiBPjE82mubgc4hwK6-OBZ9A55d42iGKHDsK8d8E1Esbu-8xd0TOSL-WC2bB1wvFz-NVeYZhXF3xssyYtumVi9TZWZrmZbl1BJKRUiP~kUVm~Hz9~L-AGfiC4yTh594fqeCK22ftt~CktSP20k1qm~l5vGELtve4h4OVzSQa0x8sOYL5IwrvMgq0XNuQea4-cxa4i77~AHt0IALFdYoF-ICwjxlIkRXaVKGkHbgjlJdn6CU0ZnvWOPV8SsV7mvNK7sUZC0UcAyqmbT3W5TQwtgeJ5AZQGuk~gOVxw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Clatsop County Human Services Advisory Council approved the meeting agenda and the Nov. 7 meeting minutes and held a substantive discussion about whether to continue monthly meetings and how to restore regular communication with the Board of County Commissioners.

Council members voted to approve the agenda “as is” and later approved the Nov. 7 minutes. The approvals were handled by voice vote; no roll-call tallies with individual names were recorded in the transcript.

Council members spent the bulk of the discussion reviewing the council bylaws (Article 3, Section 3) and debating whether to keep monthly meetings, shift to bimonthly, or meet quarterly to satisfy the bylaw minimum of four meetings per year. Several council members favored keeping monthly meetings with the option to cancel if there is little business. “I would prefer to meet every monthly. And if we don't have a lot, we could have short meetings,” one council member said.

Members also raised a sustained concern about a perceived lack of engagement from the Board of County Commissioners. Multiple council members contrasted the current situation with an earlier period when a commissioner (identified in the transcript as Sarah Neubacher) attended regularly and reported back to the commission. County staff advised members that a commissioner reappointment and a new commissioner swearing-in were scheduled for Jan. 8 and that commissioner assignments to advisory councils would be determined after that date. A county staff member suggested clarifying what specific information or reports the council wants from its assigned commissioner so any incoming appointee can come prepared.

Council members proposed forming a bylaws review committee after the incoming commissioner is assigned and recommended scheduling periodic (for example, biannual) work-session presentations to the Board of County Commissioners so the council can offer updates and receive direction. A county staff member noted that requests for dedicated time at a commissioners’ work session require advance agenda prep and should be scheduled more than two weeks ahead.

The meeting concluded with announcements about upcoming presentations and the next council meeting scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 6 at 3 p.m.","The Clatsop County Human Services Advisory Council approved its meeting agenda and the Nov. 7 minutes and spent much of the session reviewing bylaws and how best to re-establish regular communication with the Board of County Commissioners after recent changes in commissioner assignments.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6467149,"Public health staff outline opioid-settlement data study, tobacco ordinance review and upcoming 'New Drug Talk' forum",1517,3222000,4739000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5809616-47d83cf6b121d80fea42f6431ef847ea&start=3222&end=4739","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5809616-47d83cf6b121d80fea42f6431ef847ea/thumbnail_3222000.jpg","/articles/6467149/Clatsop-County/Oregon/Public-health-staff-outline-opioid-settlement-data-study-tobacco-ordinance-review-and-upcoming-New-Drug-Talk-forum","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6467149-6fabd61d6ef472e551474507ef91f1a4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770521709&Signature=XUuafJ3Sm4bhhIQJ5f4ifWoGZ~yX-qIAwI7XbUQfYiOB4loXzXDXBSaWmPNpiQyNg8fZCEbT~QMgzYMmdxLkeXi1i04tDDJe0wa4uRtMvsxUVOghJlvQt6HuUeebcfIt6NgtIbr~P1S4nTUbDeEvsE2xsIu1DVGcw5BSo7BCplpYI1k3MsLbsE4fgbEfnoNO8PHj2yD4yFYZFxeps-lY13wI2DicOvYvAzOV666eyrj0D52nUbRKD59XJVaA2RFQrGO4tupvsSR7l7t9kN7jS~atFRBzB4Tfmm2TR-YQszsJdGiLziXf-mh-PUpuny~WjlqLC1SeefsEubOrnTVTAg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","County public-health staff told the Human Services Advisory Council that the department received $126,341 in opioid-settlement funds to support primary prevention work for alcohol and other drugs and will use part of those funds to commission a data-capacity assessment to identify what prevention-related data is available and how to make it accessible to community partners.

A county public-health staff member said the department is interviewing three potential contractors (OHSU, The REED Group, and Comagine) to conduct the data assessment. The assessment will catalog existing data sources, interview community partners about their needs, and make recommendations for how to collect and share data more effectively. “We talk a lot in our programs about making data driven decisions...the information and the data that you need...is very fragmented and difficult to find,” the staff member said. The grant-funded work is scheduled to run through 2027.

On tobacco prevention, staff said the county is reassessing the Clatsop County Tobacco Retail License (TRL) ordinance adopted in 2019–2020 to ensure enforcement and sustainability; staff noted differences between the county ordinance and a newer state TRL program. The county ordinance currently prohibits discounts on tobacco products and sets a 1,000-foot buffer from schools for new retailers; the state program uses a five-year lookback period for violations while the county’s lookback is 24 months, a difference staff said weakens the county ordinance compared with the state standard.

Public-health staff also highlighted perinatal outreach, youth tobacco-prevention activities (including a student video contest called Escape the Vape), and a parent/community education event called New Drug Talk scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 14, 6–8 p.m. at the Times Theater (free dinner, raffle and naloxone distribution). Staff said they will forward flyers and invited council members to attend and help publicize the event.

Separately, public-health staff reported a small Roundhouse Foundation grant used to purchase high-dose flu vaccine for people 65 and older and mentioned ongoing community-health-needs-assessment (CHNA) coordination with Providence and Columbia Memorial Hospital. Staff noted several open positions in the department, including an environmental health specialist and health promotion roles.

Council members asked that public-health prevention projects and the data-capacity assessment be regular agenda items moving forward.","County public-health staff described a $126,341 opioid settlement grant to fund a data-capacity assessment for alcohol and drug prevention, a review of the county’s Tobacco Retail License ordinance and outreach plans including a community 'New Drug Talk' event on Jan. 14.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6467154,"County homelessness and housing updates: new permanent supportive housing projects and growth in deflection program",105,2177000,2282000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5809616-47d83cf6b121d80fea42f6431ef847ea&start=2177&end=2282","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5809616-47d83cf6b121d80fea42f6431ef847ea/thumbnail_2177000.jpg","/articles/6467154/Clatsop-County/Oregon/County-homelessness-and-housing-updates-new-permanent-supportive-housing-projects-and-growth-in-deflection-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6467154-f5843130a57434f73b595be1172520de/orig.mp4?Expires=1770521709&Signature=ZBq6kGosS~UqtPctkg-c6tB4SOlpnBAf0CGrtmRl~I6Od4GoDAagWE1GnJlGcO3icmF-ZiQSz9TjM9EDBiWzGol~b9Abto5~k52I5ztB1NQhyNIEUXKwXFvr45K0qc3gEclZO9nAFJIjNJ-TGhbKkPSXaaujLpolqz3BH7sjELIIDEYEDk4tt-VPXM4vHFBjCPTV-~y8d22FlX3T9Spy22qsqh~a2go7GslIjI3RvyiG4n5IKx~Lr2rsw-80MR0uVFoFgSsVikWtpnYQzEJ-1ciit2VwhnA-QMie7sdkAkpQXrRzDcqakU7HL0NuPQ5Xs5B7BVcfw2e5ojkD6QIeLw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","County and partner staff reported several developments in Clatsop County’s homelessness response and diversion efforts, including the closing of a land purchase for a 32-unit permanent supportive housing project and near-capacity occupancy at other facilities.

A county-affiliated staff member described the Marine Drive project — a 32-unit permanent supportive housing building located between Motel 6 and KFC — and said construction began after the county closed on the property on Dec. 18. “Construction is underway, and we're set to have a new building about around Christmas time next year,” the staff member said, adding that a small groundbreaking for stakeholders is planned in January.

The Hawkeye project in Seaside, a partnership with Columbia Pacific Care Oregon, is close to full occupancy; the presenter said 12 of 14 units were filled with tenants and partners reported success connecting people from shelter into housing. Operators at another site, Esperanza Village, reported nine of 14 resident units occupied (15 total units including one for on-site staff), with three available units and one reserved for a hospital discharge partnership.

County staff also updated the council on the county’s deflection program, which pairs DA, sheriff’s office, public health and law enforcement partners to divert people with certain low-level offenses into treatment rather than criminal prosecution. The presenter said the program had six participants overall, five active in the program at the time of the meeting, and several recent client completions. Staff said deflection’s early enrollment is limited because many people charged with possession also face other charges (for example, theft or trespass) that the district attorney may not be willing to deflect. The team is reviewing whether to adjust eligibility criteria to include lower-level theft or trespass charge classes to increase participation. “What our team is doing is looking at, like, level 3 trespass or theft under $100… those lower level crimes that we can deflect,” the staff member said.

Participants discussed operational matters including property-management training and exit processes for supportive-housing units. Operators said they follow exit documentation and track reasons for departure; one operator said most departures were moves to other states or voluntary transitions, while disciplinary exits were documented when they occurred.

Council members thanked staff for the updates and asked for continued monthly briefings on occupancy and program performance.","County staff reported construction and leasing progress at two permanent supportive housing projects and progress in a law-enforcement-led deflection program, and operators updated occupancy counts for local supportive housing sites.","actionData","errors"]
