Hood River County Commissioners are asking NORCOR to provide proposed budgets for the upcoming fiscal year that both include and remove the juvenile facility at the regional jail in The Dalles.  Commissioners want the data as they try to determine if it would be more cost effective to use juvenile facilities elsewhere in the state, including Portland or Bend.  Figures provided to the Commission at their Monday worksession indicated it would cost less for the County to rent juvenile beds elsewhere instead of helping to subsidize NORCOR’s facility, but Commission Chair Ron Rivers notes rising costs make it difficult to compare, particularly if the NORCOR juvenile facility was to close.  He adds that would leave a number of different counties competing for juvenile beds.  Commissioners received figures from County Administrator Jeff Hecksel that showed the County’s projected budget deficit for the 2018-19 fiscal year is now one-point-nine million dollars.  The County Budget Committee begins meetings on April 5.
