In the mid 1980's Tillamook County became heavily involved in meth. He talked about the formation ofthe Tillamook Narcotics Team (TNT) in the 1980's. The Sheriff's office is now the only enforcement in the County, which he described. He described the Offender Custody Program with treatment options. Of the ninety-nine (99) inmates in custody at the jail today, thirty-six (36) are drug charges. Others are drug related, usually property crimes. He talked about current manufacturing and distribution in Tillamook County. District Attorney Porter said reducing the supply in one area does not reduce the demand. He talked about different recipes. Commissioner Hurliman discussed some of the unintended consequences of meth manufacturing. He said we need to get rid of the demand. Sheriff Anderson talked about the increase in female offenders, now about twenty (20%) percent of the jail population. Mr. Krein said the most common urinary analysis test result in juveniles is meth, when it used to be marijuana, just five (5) years ago. Many kids are now being raised by extended families because they have been removed from meth addicted parents. It takes eight (8) months forthe brain to correct itself. Sheriff Anderson said fifteen to thirty (15-30%) percent of the jail population have a mental illness. Vice-ChairLabhart asked the group whattheybelieve the Board ofcommissioners
Page 2 and the public should do to address the problem. District Attorney Porter said the treatment piece is the weak link. Call lawenforcement ifyou thinkthere is a problem. Mr. Krein said the Board of Commissioners should support enforcement tools, especially treatment options and early intervention.

Page 4 Structural Engineer's report indicating it should be replaced soon and this Measure shows "due diligence" in addressing this matter. The Measure would cost about Eleven ($11.00) Dollars per year on a Hundred Thousand ($100,000) Dollar house, which he believes is a small price to pay for fixing a safety issue and insuring our Fairground grandstands continue to provide entertainment into the future.
