DESCHUTES COUNTY DELINQUENT YOUTH DEMONSTRATION PROJECT
Note:
Sections 142 to 145, chapter 801, Oregon Laws 1997, provide:
Sec.
142. (1) The governing body of Deschutes County may establish a
demonstration project that assumes local management responsibility for certain
adjudicated delinquent youth to reduce reliance on the states close custody
system. Deschutes County shall include the demonstration project as part of the
regional intergovernmental agreement between the Oregon Youth Authority,
Deschutes County and the Central and Eastern Oregon Juvenile Justice Consortium
as part of the annual diversion plan for the region as authorized in ORS
420.017. The guiding principles of the project are to:
(a) Ensure youth and parental accountability, safety of the public and consideration of needs and interests of victims;
(b) Emphasize investments with long-term benefits for public safety, community justice and the development of healthy, responsible and educated youths;
(c) Establish incentives for the county to manage resources in an effort to reduce the likelihood that local youths will become wards of the state;
(d) Maximize community resources and involvement through greater local responsibility for a continuum of preventative and remedial services and supports; and
(e) Demonstrate an effective state and local partnership on an issue of statewide importance, that of improving outcomes for youths while reducing the long-term burden on the states youth and adult corrections systems of the cost of crime.
(2) From within the available funding and resources authorized for this project, an independent entity, agreed upon by the parties to the agreement, shall conduct an evaluation of specific results and outcomes as described in the intergovernmental agreement. The independent entity shall conduct the evaluation process in consultation with the Oregon Youth Authority, the Central and Eastern Oregon Juvenile Justice Consortium, the Oregon Juvenile Department Directors Association and the Association of Oregon Counties.
(3) Deschutes County shall provide interim progress reports to the Emergency Board, to the legislative committees dealing with judicial matters and, upon request, to any other interested legislative committees as part of any request for authorization for additional phases of the project.
(4) No later than June 30, 2002, the Oregon Youth Authority, Deschutes County and the Central and Eastern Oregon Juvenile Justice Consortium shall submit a final evaluation of the project to the Legislative Assembly and to any other interested parties.
(5) The county, the Central and Eastern Oregon Juvenile Justice Consortium, or the state may discontinue participation in the demonstration project, if any of these parties determines that the risk exceeds the level of resources available. If any of the parties wants to discontinue participation, they must make written notification to the Oregon Youth Authority and to the other parties at least 90 days before terminating their participation. The parties to the agreement shall include in the agreement provisions addressing how to best continue the demonstration project in the event the consortium ceases to be a viable contracting entity.
(6) In order to exercise its option under subsection (1) of this section, Deschutes County shall develop an implementation plan for the first phase of the project for review and authorization by the Emergency Board. Deschutes County shall include in the plan a description of the services needed to divert the commitment of youth from youth correction facilities, and how these services are to be administered, if funds are authorized by the Emergency Board for the first phase of the project.
(7) The local commission on children and families shall develop the implementation plan referred to in subsection (6) of this section as part of its comprehensive plan for juvenile crime prevention and intervention in collaboration with the local public safety coordinating council. Following review and comment by the Central and Eastern Oregon Juvenile Justice Consortium and the Oregon Juvenile Department Directors Association, the plan must be approved by the governing body of the county with a letter of concurrence from the presiding judge of the circuit court. [1997 c.801 §142; 2001 c.904 §18]
Sec.
143. (1) Deschutes County shall include in the project youth who are placed
in state close custody and youth who, without the demonstration project, would
be placed in state close custody. The county may not include youth convicted
under ORS 137.707 or youth placed in the public safety reserve beds as part of
the formula described in subsection (2) of this section.
(2) The state shall annually determine Deschutes Countys share of state close custody, excluding youth ineligible for the project as described in subsection (1) of this section, through application of a formula established by the Oregon Youth Authority in consultation with the Oregon Juvenile Department Directors Association.
(3) Deschutes County shall place youth placed in state close custody in the community according to the procedures set forth in ORS 420.019 (1)(c). The trial judge originally placing the youth in state close custody, or the presiding judge, may conduct a review hearing at the request of Deschutes County or the state.
(4) Deschutes County shall provide youth targeted for the demonstration project with services similar to but not necessarily the same as those that the youth would have received in state close custody. For each youth eligible for the demonstration project, Deschutes County ensures that the communitys need for safety will be met.
(5) Prior to removing youth from state close custody into community placements, Deschutes County shall develop individual plans for eligible youth.
(6) Deschutes County shall implement this demonstration project by accessing existing or developing new community services. Deschutes County may not access state operated community placements at a higher level than an equitable portion of state resources as determined by the Oregon Youth Authority, and the percentage of Deschutes County youth waived to adult court may not exceed the rate per population base prior to the demonstration project. [1997 c.801 §143]
Sec.
144. (1) For each eligible youth moved from state close custody into a
community placement, the state shall provide Deschutes County with funds equal
to the average daily cost of the Oregon Youth Authoritys close custody
services. The state shall adjust the amount annually to reflect cost
adjustments within the state system of close custody.
(2) Beginning July 1, 1999, and annually thereafter, Deschutes County shall inform the Oregon Youth Authority of the number of eligible youth the county intends to serve in community placements for the entire year. The state shall provide the county with demonstration funds for those youth.
(3) Deschutes County shall ensure availability of secure placements and services for eligible youth placed in the community prior to reinvesting any funds in other juvenile crime prevention activities. The county shall invest any excess funds in community based programs and services designed to reduce juvenile crime. The county shall document its use of demonstration funds.
(4) Beginning July 1, 1999, and annually thereafter, Deschutes County shall inform the Oregon Youth Authority of the number of state close custody beds necessary for eligible project youth. If the actual number of eligible youth placed in state close custody exceeds the projected need, Deschutes County shall pay for state close custody placements at the same daily rate as described in subsection (1) of this section. The Oregon Youth Authority shall receive funds only for the actual number of days these youth are in state close custody.
(5) Reconciliation between the amount owed the county or the state shall occur at the close of each fiscal year.
(6) The parties to the intergovernmental agreement shall report to the Emergency Board, to the legislative committees dealing with judicial matters and, upon request, to any other interested legislative committees on the status of the project on a quarterly basis until such time as the demonstration project is fully implemented. Following full implementation, the parties shall report annually to the Emergency Board, to the legislative committees dealing with judicial matters and, upon request, to any other interested legislative committees. The county shall provide the following information for inclusion in these reports:
(a) Demographic information on all project youth, including their offenses.
(b) A description of placements and services provided for all demonstration project youth.
(c) Recidivism rates for demonstration project youth.
(d) A financial report detailing how demonstration project funds were expended.
(e) Outcome data for prevention programs that were funded with demonstration project funds. [1997 c.801 §144]
Sec.
145. (1) There is appropriated to the Emergency Board, for the biennium
beginning July 1, 1997, out of the General Fund, the sum of $835,000. The
Emergency Board may allocate any or all of the funds appropriated by this
section to the Oregon Youth Authority for this project in the following
sequence and manner:
(a) The parties to the intergovernmental agreement described in section 142, chapter 801, Oregon Laws 1997, shall appear before the Emergency Board at the first meeting of the board after October 4, 1997. The parties shall submit a copy of the agreement between the parties to the board, and shall request start-up funds for the purpose of preparing for implementation of the demonstration project and establishing community placements and services for the youth to be paroled from state close custody.
(b) The parties to the intergovernmental agreement shall appear before the Emergency Board in January 1998 to describe the initial phase of the demonstration project, including those youth to be paroled from close custody into community placements and to request funds associated with those youth.
(c) Until such time as the demonstration project is fully implemented, the parties to the intergovernmental agreement shall appear quarterly to report as described in section 144 (6), chapter 801, Oregon Laws 1997, and to request funds for continued implementation of the demonstration project.
(d) Contingent upon continued implementation of the regional intergovernmental agreement and approval of the Legislative Assembly, the Oregon Youth Authority shall, during subsequent biennia, continue to include project funds in an intergovernmental agreement with Deschutes County through June 30, 2005. If the evaluation in 2002 indicates that the demonstration project has been successful, the Oregon Youth Authority and Deschutes County may agree to continue the local system for management of close custody resources beyond the demonstration period.
(2) If any of the moneys appropriated to the Emergency Board under the provisions of this section are not allocated by the Emergency Board before November 1, 1998, the unallocated moneys on that date become available for any other purpose for which the Emergency Board may lawfully allocate funds. [1997 c.801 §145; 2001 c.904 §17]

[Repealed by 1965 c.616 §101]
420.011
Admissions to youth correction facilities; assignment of persons within custody
of Department of Corrections; temporary assignment; return to Department of
Corrections custody. (1) Except as provided in subsections (2) and (3) of
this section, admissions to the youth correction facilities are limited to
youth offenders who are at least 12 but less than 19 years of age, found by the
juvenile court to have committed an act that if committed by an adult would
constitute aggravated murder, murder, a felony or a Class A misdemeanor and
placed in the legal custody of the Oregon Youth Authority. A youth offender
admitted to a youth correction facility may not be transferred by
administrative process to any penal or correctional institution.
(2)(a) In addition to the persons placed in the legal custody of the youth authority under ORS 419C.478 (1) or 419C.481, and with the concurrence of the Director of the Oregon Youth Authority or the directors designee, persons who are committed to the Department of Corrections under ORS 137.124 and meet the requirements of ORS 137.124 (5) or (7) may be temporarily assigned to a youth correction facility as provided by ORS 137.124 (5) or (7). A person assigned on such a temporary basis remains within the legal custody of the Department of Corrections and such reassignment is subject to termination by the Director of the Oregon Youth Authority by referring the person back to the Department of Corrections as provided in paragraph (b) of this subsection.
(b) After a person is transferred to the physical custody of the youth authority under ORS 137.124 (5) or (7), the Director of the Oregon Youth Authority may refer the person back to the Department of Corrections for physical custody and placement if the director, after consulting with the Department of Corrections, determines that the person:
(A) Poses a substantial danger to youth authority staff or persons in the custody of the youth authority; or
(B) Is not likely, in the foreseeable future, to benefit from the rehabilitation and treatment programs administered by the youth authority and is appropriate for placement in a Department of Corrections institution.
(3) Any person under 18 years of age at the time of committing the crime and under 20 years of age at the time of sentencing and commitment who, after waiver under ORS 419C.349, 419C.352, 419C.364 or 419C.370 or sentencing under ORS 137.707 (5)(b)(A) or (7)(b) or 137.712, is sentenced to a term of imprisonment in the custody of the Department of Corrections, and any person under 16 years of age who after waiver under ORS 419C.349, 419C.352, 419C.364 or 419C.370 or sentencing under ORS 137.707 (5)(b)(A) or (7)(b) or 137.712 is sentenced to a term of imprisonment in the county jail, shall be temporarily assigned to a youth correction facility by the Department of Corrections, or by the sheriff to whose custody the person has been committed, pursuant to ORS 137.124 (6). The director shall designate the appropriate youth correction facility or schools for such assignment. A person assigned to a youth correction facility under ORS 137.124 (6) and this subsection remains within the legal custody of the Department of Corrections or sheriff to whose custody the person was committed. The assignment of such a person to the youth correction facility is subject, when the person is 16 years of age or older, to termination by the director by referring the person back to the Department of Corrections or the sheriff to serve the balance of the persons sentence. Assignment to a youth correction facility pursuant to ORS 137.124 (6) and this subsection, if not terminated earlier by the director, shall terminate upon the persons attaining the age specified in ORS 420A.010 (5) setting the age limits for which the Oregon Youth Authority may retain legal and physical custody of the person, and the person shall be referred to the Department of Corrections or the sheriff having legal custody of the person to serve the balance of the persons sentence.
(4) Whenever a person committed to the custody of the Department of Corrections is temporarily assigned to a youth correction facility pursuant to this section, the youth authority may provide programs and treatment for the person, and may adopt rules relating to conditions of confinement at the youth correction facility, as the youth authority determines are appropriate. However, the person remains subject to laws and rules of the State Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision relating to parole. [1965 c.616 §31; 1969 c.679 §5; 1971 c.401 §98; 1971 c.458 §1; 1975 c.182 §1; 1983 c.815 §2; 1985 c.631 §7; 1987 c.320 §159; 1993 c.33 §343; 1993 c.546 §122; 1995 c.422 §§89,89a; 1995 c.423 §28; 1997 c.433 §13; 1999 c.109 §1; 2003 c.396 §140]

Population limits; controlling admissions; rules. (1) The total population
of youth offenders confined in the youth correction facilities may not exceed

the Director of the Oregon Youth Authority. The total population limit shall
include offenders in the youth correction facility who were waived by the
juvenile court to be prosecuted as adults or who were prosecuted as adults
under ORS 137.707.
(2) The director by rule shall determine reasonable standards for care and treatment of youth offenders housed in youth correction facilities. Within the total limit established under subsection (1) of this section, the Director of the Oregon Youth Authority shall establish and impose a maximum allowable population level for each youth correction facility. The maximum allowable population shall not exceed the design capacity for the facility and shall be further limited by the ability of the facility to meet the standard of care and treatment established by rule under this subsection, protect communities, hold youth offenders accountable for their behavior and improve the competency of youth offenders to become responsible and productive members of their communities.
(3) The director by rule shall establish criteria upon which the decision to place a youth in a youth correction facility must be based, and which, in turn, shall be based upon behaviors and characteristics of youths otherwise eligible for commitment to a youth correction facility.
(4) After conferring with the juvenile court judges, the director shall develop and implement by rule, a method of controlling admissions to the youth correction facilities so as not to exceed maximum levels determined under subsections (1) and (2) of this section. [1985 c.500 §4; 1987 c.507 §1; 1993 c.762 §1; 1995 c.422 §90; 2001 c.904 §6; 2001 c.905 §7]

Implementation of diversion plan. (1)(a) The Oregon Youth Authority may
contract with the governing body of a county or two or more counties, if the

statewide diversion plan, which may include juvenile parole and probation
services or out-of-home placement.
(b) A county or counties that contract with the Oregon Youth Authority under this section shall have access to a continuum of out-of-home placement options including, but not limited to, youth correction facilities, youth care centers, foster care and private placements. Participating counties shall be ensured access to an equitable share of out-of-home placements.
(c) A county or counties that contract with the Oregon Youth Authority under this section have the responsibility for parole decisions regarding youths from the county or counties committed to youth correction facilities. In the event that a county or counties are operating over the allocated youth correction facility cap, the youth authority may assume parole authority until the county population is at the cap.
(d) The state and county may agree that the governing body of the county or counties may subcontract for services or that the state will provide services or that the county or counties may subcontract for some services and the state provide other services as stipulated in the contract with the youth authority.
(e) When services previously provided by the Oregon Youth Authority transfer to a county or counties, terms of the contract must include, but need not be limited to, the actual cost of employee salaries, benefits and other payroll expenses, plus support costs necessary for the transferred positions.
(f) The youth authority is responsible for performance auditing of contracts and subcontracts.
(g) The youth authority shall contract directly with service providers in those counties where the governing body of the county or counties chooses not to contract with the youth authority.
(h) The funds provided to implement the diversion plan or provide for out-of-home placement or parole and probation services shall not be used by a county to supplant moneys otherwise provided to the county juvenile department for services to delinquent youth.
(2)(a) Unless otherwise provided in the contract, a county that is contracting with the youth authority under subsection (1) of this section shall supervise state employees providing parole and probation services within the county.
(b) Subject to a collective bargaining agreement, supervision under this subsection includes discipline, performance evaluation, training and all other functions previously carried out by state employed supervisors. [1985 c.500 §8; 1995 c.422 §92; 1997 c.249 §134]

the county from which the person was placed in the legal custody of the youth
authority. [Formerly 420.160; amended by 1969 c.679 §6; 1971 c.401 §97; 1993

Liability for misconduct of youth offender placed in youth correction facility.
The youth correction facility, the superintendents thereof, the director and personnel
of the Oregon Youth Authority are not liable for any damages whatsoever that

420.045
Parole; discharge; revocation of parole. (1) Upon finding that a youth
offender placed in a youth correction facility is ready for release therefrom
and that the youth offender had best be returned to the parent or guardian of
the youth offender or to a suitable and desirable home or facility, the
Director of the Oregon Youth Authority may, after advising the committing
court, release the youth offender on parole conditioned upon good behavior.
(2) At such time as the Director of the Oregon Youth Authority finds that final release is compatible with the safety of the community and the best interests of the youth offender, with the consent of the committing court, the Director of the Oregon Youth Authority may make and issue a final order discharging the youth offender.
(3) The Director of the Oregon Youth Authority may revoke a parole if the conditions of the parole have been violated or if the continuation of the youth offender on parole would not be in the best interests of the youth offender or the community. After the revocation of parole, the Director of the Oregon Youth Authority shall immediately advise the committing court thereof. [1965 c.616 §37; 1969 c.679 §9; 1971 c.401 §101; 1995 c.422 §96]

shall make the notification no later than 72 hours after the person knows of
the transfer.
(b) When a school district receives notification under this section, the school district may request the Oregon Youth Authority to provide additional information about the youth offender. The youth authority shall provide additional information, including the offense that brought the youth offender within the jurisdiction of the juvenile court and such other information that is subject to disclosure under ORS 419A.255 (5).
(2) In addition to the general notification required by subsection (1)(a) of this section, the youth authority:
