You can quote me: This is an improper use of OCE money as I understand the budgeting and
appropriation process. The Legislature expects to allocate funding for specific purposes in the
DOC W &M process and that body expects to review ALL expenditures using the DAS
expenditure reporting tools - - using OCE money circumvents that process. It is an unauthorized
expenditure outside of the Legislature's budget approval and reporting process.
DOC can test that theory by sending a memo to their LOF analyst infonning him or her that aCE
is buying flat screen TV s for management staff at DOC.
Freddy Webb Petite lost her job as a state department manager for purchasing fancy day-timers

Hi Marcus,
Attached you will find the project scope in which Laura & I assigned potential OCE personnel as references for the major
tasks. Let me know what you think. We can discuss next week if you like. By the way, Mitch is trying to fast track a
meeting with Colette.

Mike -- Marcus' cell phone number is 503-997-2246.
The new DOC director and Mitch Morrow leaned on Rob very hard this morning. Contract is clearly in danger
(and possibly Rob will leave). But rather than say, "We're cancelling," they told Rob they want to meet with me

KIL_PSU_ 003419
(and I'll include you) directly.
They may cancel;
They may say, "we'll proceed with x, y, z conditions (including Mike G being off -- and he's fine with that);
OR, we may say, "We'll cancel first, invoke the 30 day clause, and ask for something to compensate for our
time and work.
But Rob will likely call or email in next hour or so to cancel tomorrow's kick-off meeting.

KIL_PSU_ 003424
Two reports show that Oregon Corrections Enterprises is struggling, both financially and in its
relationship with the Department of Corrections.
As a result, both agencies are making changes to the way they are organized and the way they do
business with each other.
OCE is a semi-independent state agency that employs prison inmates in Oregon to make furniture,
run call centers and do industrial laundry, per a 1994 constitutional amendment that requires inmates
to work full time while they?re incarcerated. It operates inside corrections facilities; the corrections
director hires the head of OCE, but otherwise, they are separate entities.
A report from the Department of Justice explored complaints from OCE Administrator Robert Killgore,
who claimed corrections was making inappropriate financial requests of his agency and pressuring
him and other administrators into doing favors for corrections officials.
Investigators found no criminal behavior from anyone in corrections, and even dismissed some of
Killgore?s concerns. But they did conclude the two agencies have a problematic relationship with a
lack of oversight for OCE and a culture among corrections officials of taking advantage of OCE funds
by making questionable demands for ?goodwill gestures.?
Meanwhile, Portland State University?s Center for Public Service released an audit of OCE, which
showed its manufacturing job programs were hemorrhaging money, although highly profitable service
jobs were mostly making up the difference.
It suggested OCE expand its operations to the Oregon State Hospital, Oregon Youth Authority and
local jails, as well as noting that the roles of both agencies need to be clarified as they work together.
Corrections Director Colette Peters has asked for an internal investigation into the allegations listed in
the attorney general?s report. OCE spokeswoman Betty Bernt declined any comment on the findings
until the that investigation had been completed.
OCE?s Killgore could not be reached for comment.
Peters said an internal investigation is routine any time a staff member is accused of criminal
behavior, even if none is ultimately found.
Bumjoon Park and Shannon Kmetic, the senior assistant attorney generals who wrote the
investigation report, said Killgore alleged that corrections directed his agency to make improper
expenses in four areas: infrastructure and security, supplies, donations and goodwill gestures, and
personnel costs.
2
KIL_PSU_ 003425
They specifically named former Director Max Williams and Deputy Director Mitch Morrow in several
allegations.
Morrow declined comment on the findings in the report.
Justice investigators disagreed with Killgore that many of those expenses were inappropriate, but it
did say there was a ?culture? within corrections where it was considered normal to ask aCE to pay
for things it shouldn?t have to and to expect favors and ?goodwill gestures? that were out of line.
In fact, Killgore made reference to the aCE being a ?slush fund? for corrections officials.
Peters said it had traditionally been up to prison superintendents and aCE officials to decide who
paid for what, but since the complaint was filed, corrections has formalized the process for making
those agreements to avoid any inappropriate requests.
In addition, the entire department and aCE are going through an organizational review, she said,
which should address some of the problems with oversight of aCE. The justice investigators listed
lack of oversight specifically as a major concern.
As far as the recommendations from the PSU audit, Peters disagreed with an idea to move
manufacturing under the umbrella of corrections but supported the other suggestions.
She said the department is looking for ways to collect data that could show a ?return on investment?
for prison work, which was suggested by PSU researchers. That would include statistics such items
as how many inmates had found work after prison and their levels of education.
Further, she said she supported expanding aCE operations and had been asking the agency for an
expansion plan for more than year.
Peters said that in spite of the two negative reports and related problems, the aCE is highly valuable
because it is self-sufficient and requires no tax dollars while providing real, meaningful work
experience for inmates.
?The structure as it stands today has been very effective over the past ten years,? she said. ?Having
someone sweeping in the kitchen is very different than having them figure out how to work in a call
center.?

The inmate welfare fund is a trust set up for the inmates (belongs to inmates) but the money allocation is done
by the doc exec. Team not the legislature or an independent board as it should be. You will see recent one time
expenditure allocations. This was done because they found that they are making so much off of the new inmate
phone program that they felt that they needed to spend it or fear losing it to the legislature.
I will send you another email that has attachments of revenue generating activities in the institutions. It has a
spreadsheet that outlines hundreds of these activities some with cash balances of $20k. A lot of these are
accounted for in notebooks and dealt in cash.
Thanks
Rob

This is an interesting piece. It shows the failure of the GED program at DOC. If you take all of the b.s. out of it
and simply compare the dollars spent to the GED issued, they have been spending over $7000 per inmate. Not
to mention over $4 million in non completes.

John -- Wow, I hadn't seen this. Reading between lines, it very much seems that what might have once been a
warm relationship has cooled considerably. Nick's going on the record with the Oregonian about something like
this seems pretty telling.
Meanwhile, the DOC LG. has stopped an internal investigation -- just because a lawsuit was filed (that could
take years to resolve)7 I didn't know that was standard procedure.

Nice having lunch the other day. I read this story and thought of you. I
know Armenakis and Morrow very well. Normally, I would have expected
Amenakis to protect Morrow. He was the security manager at the Pen when
Morrow was a captain there under his direction. Then Armenakis was
superintendent, assistant director and finally deputy director and Morrow
followed up him right up the ladder. They are from the same
school/philosophy.
This whole thing just looks terribly inappropriate.

Mike -- yes, the angle of the "Former Mentor, now speaking on the record in less than flattering ways" is
especially interesting here. I don't know Nick, but does this mean that he's one of the "rare ones" who was in the
system, and got pretty high up, but always did things "right" as opposed to buying into this awful culture? Or is
he just another kind of DOC manager, and this is more personal than it is a matter of management integrity?
I have spent enough time now with John Foote (who was there from 1990-95 I believe) to make him
comfortable sharing things with me on a confidential basis. He's fairly disliked by many (including here at
PSU), and at a recent community forum here at PSU on public safety reform he took a pretty pugnacious, "I'm
going to tell you the truth you don't want to hear" tack as a part of a panel with DeMuniz (they REALL Y don't
like each other); Chris Garrett (say nothing); Andy Olson (say nothing, more pleasantly); and Colette (why is
she even here?). John ended up feeling he shouldn't have come (and it showed!), and it was too bad the
Willamette Week story came out the day AFTER rather than the day before ...
(IfLes were a more enterprising reporter, he would have called the former DOC IG/interim director and said,
"You know, I found it kind of funny that the IG stopped this investigation because of a lawsuit filed -- is that
how you would have handled it?:)
But he knows the DOC culture, and many of the players -- so I've gotten a few insights from him. One is about
how Max (and of course Colette) really took away the IG's independence (I'm sure at Mitch's urging). He thinks
the system has really suffered for that. He also had the same reaction to the way Collette fired Rob; couldn't
believe it, especially the way it happened, and shared that at a meeting with Curtis R on other matters he asked
directly about how they were going to defend themselves in THAT lawsuit. (Curtis evaded, he said). He's also
no fan of Ben DeHahn, for whatever that's worth -- "very bright, but ruthless .... "
John K's lack of interest in good management is just dismaying. And since Michael Jordan hasn't return a call or
an email since the OCE report, I'm increasingly reaching the conclusion you have: that he either can't (or won't
try, really) to change that.
And JK's "Governor's staff' -- anyone there who isn't under 40; and does anyone have REAL management
experience, vs. lots of policy experience? -- wasn't exactly picked to fill in for his self-perceived deficiencies in
the management arena? (Does he even think in those terms; probably not, he's been the "smartest guy in the
room" for so long, he can apply "political acumen" to those issues .... )
But let's you and I not give up (much as I have my moments of doubt, too). This stuff matters, and increasingly
will matter. And left untended, the current approach will increasingly cause problems for this administration in
all sorts of different ways (not just at DOC, but especially in the world of education!).

I saw this on Oregon Live yesterday, probably in print tomorrow or the weekend.
It IS surprising that Nick is speaking "outside the family" although he and Rob are close. DOC

According to Rob W&M is staying away from OCE in budget hearings.
Everyone seems to be signed up for the "if it isn't illegal it doesn't matter" test. I am a concerned
that the Administration appears to be untroubled by the budget, operational, structural, authority,
judgement, ethical and policy problems. Collet has the skills to deal with this the same way I
have bee-keeping skills.
I think it is fair to say that Ted K finished off any management potential that remained in Oregon
Government institutions and that John is armed exclusively with political expediency tools and
navigation.

John -- Wow, I hadn't seen this. Reading between lines, it very much seems that what might have
once been a warm relationship has cooled considerably. Nick's going on the record with the
Oregonian about something like this seems pretty telling.
Meanwhile, the DOC I.G. has stopped an internal investigation -- just because a lawsuit was
filed (that could take years to resolve)? I didn't know that was standard procedure.

Nice having lunch the other day. I read this story and thought

would have expected Arnenakis to protect Morrow. He was the

his direction. Then Armenakis was superintendent, assistant

This whole thing just looks terribly inappropriate.

They didn't vet Colette good enough before her appointment. Now they have a doc director that has been
deemed unreliable as a witness on record .... that will come back to haunt the gov as her testimony will be
questioned for anything ifthis goes public. I hope everything is going well for you. Tell Phil hello for me. We

Sony to keep bugging you Les but I wanted to make sure that you got all of the documents so I attached them to
this email. This is interesting when you consider that it is basically over a 4 .year period. I'm pretty sure that
nobody has put this pattern together yet on the government side because of the leadership transitions with the
Gov, DAS, and DOJ. More thorough investigation may find more cases. These are interesting because the state
is losing them which means that they are wrongful discharges. Page 24 of the Gill arbitration is interesting in
that it points out that Colette was not a credible witness. I guess Colette's motto is "fire them and let the courts
sort it out" ...
Thanks,
Rob

.. Document: OCE's change of administrator review
An internal audit released by the Department of Corrections Wednesday shows that several conflicts of interest
existed in contracts approved by the former head of the agency that manages Oregon's prison industries.
DOC Director Colette Peters ordered the audit after firing Oregon Corrections Enterprises Director Rob
Killgore in March. The "change of administrator review" was designed to verify that Killgore's dismissal had
been handled properly and that the agency's contracts were compliant with state rules.
18
KIL_PSU_ 003441
Killgore was fired following a Department of Justice investigation into the department that he initiated. He has
sued the department for retaliating against a whistleblower, but Peters said she fired him for flouting her
directions regarding the future of OCE and its programs.
It found no problems with Killgore's exit from the agency, but identified three conflicts of interest in the
contracts. Investigators said each incident benefited a member of the OCE Advisory Council.
Problems arose in each of the following contracts:
OCE entered into a potential public-private partnership agreement with laundry service Ecotex and asked
avisory council member Neil Bryant to provide a legal analysis and opinion on the issues surrounding the
agreement. OCE paid Bryant's firm $9,401.50 for the opinion and Bryant quit the council five days after Ecotex
requested the potential partnership .
. OCE entered into an interagency agreement with Portland State University that cost $165,000. An advisory
council member quit the day the agreement was signed and went to work for the PSU review team.
OCE allowed council member and AFL-CIO official Mark Warne to design and implement a program at
Coffee Creek Correctional Institution, which cost $10,714.29 per month for 14 months, a total of$150,000.
Warne resigned from the council 6 days after the agreement for the program was signed.
The auditors recommended that OCE further review its contracts and create advisory council bylaws.

Attached you will find emails that document that Colette & Mitch participated in the use of Neil Blyant on the
Ecotex deal.
KIL_PSU_ 003443
You will also see emails that document that Colette and Mitch had me revise the Advisory Council policy but
did not mention anything about concerns over "conflict of interest". The revision took place after hiring Neil
Bryant and contracting with PSU.
Also, if you review the law closely it allows for members to resign to work in their respective areas (see
highlight):
421.347 Advisory council; membership; duties. (1) The administrator of Oregon COlTections Enterprises shall
establish, by the issuance of a policy directive or order, an advisory council consisting of not fewer than three
members to provide policy input concerning Oregon Corrections Enterprises operations and its discharge of the
functions and duties prescribed by section 41, Article I of the Oregon Constitution, and ORS 192.502,421.305,
421.312,421.344 to 421.367, 421.412, 421.442, 421.444 and 421.445. The council shall select one of its
members as chairperson. The council shall meet not less frequently than semiannually at the offices of Oregon
Corrections Enterprises. The council shall meet at such other times and places specified by the administrator.
All members shall be entitled to expenses as provided in ORS 292.495.
(2) The membership of the advisory council shall consist of at least one representative of each of the
following interests, as determined at the discretion of the administrator:
(a) At least one member shall be a person who has experience in, and can represent the interests and
perspective of the banking or finance industry;
(b) At least one member shall be a person who has experience in and can represent the interests and
perspective of private business in Oregon; and
(c) At least one member shall be a person who has experience in the field of labor relations and can
represent the interests and perspective of organized labor.
(3) Members of the advisory council must be citizens of the United States and residents of the State of
Oregon. No member ofthe council may be an employee of the Department of Corrections or of Oregon
Corrections Enterprises.
(4) The order or policy directive that establishes the advisory council may specify the terms of office of
members of the council and may provide for removal of members from the advisory council by the
administrator, either at the pleasure of the administrator or for other grounds specified in the order or policy
directive. Upon the expiration or termination of the term of any member appointed to represent an
interest under subsection (2) of this section, the administrator shall appoint a successor to represent that
interest. A member of the advisory council shall be eligible for reappointment.

Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a requirement for the state CAFR that I found out about last Friday after it was
flagged by our Fiscal Manager. It is asking for any violations oflegal or contractual provisions
during the fiscal year. It gives the example of expending revenues for purposes other than
outlined in constitutional provisions. This same question came up recently with our annual CPA
audit. I need to resolve this requirement with both entities.
I had Neil Bryant review Mitch?s email from earlier this year and his opinion is that the expenses
related to the Buddy Herron funeral where outside the scope of our laws (attached is Neil?s
letter). I reviewed this with our CPA along with the reasoning for the support. I explained that
the new Director took immediate short term action with the formation of a memorandum of
understanding and was taking long term action by having Portland State University review and
provide recommendations on the organization. The CPA felt that the expense was immaterial and
suggested noting it in our ?manager?s recommendation? supplement to the audit as she felt that it
2

was handled appropriately. Because it was financially immaterial it would not be mentioned in
the actual audit. You do need to keep in mind that our auditor looks at OCE from a business
perspective and not governmental. The state may have different standards related to the
definition of immaterial. I have yet to get back to the auditor on this.
As stated earlier, I did not know about the CAFR requirement until last Friday. It is due this
Monday but I have put a hold on it until we can discuss or I get direction from you. I recommend
that we report the expenses related to the Herron funeral and describe what action has been taken
to keep us within the scope of our laws in the future. Please let me know how you would like to
proceed.

Agreed. That's why I brought it forward. Keep in mind I didn't learn about this until last Friday. Neil and the
rest of the advisory council got hard copies as I went around and met with them individually to explain the
email and PSU project so that they would get it first hand.

Thanks for this infOlmation. In your email to Colette and me last week you write "I had Neil
Bryant review Mitch's email from earlier this year." I am not seeing that email in the
attachments above. Will you send that document my way as well. Thanks.
Based on what I have read, if the decision to respond is seen as necessary by Colette, I would
recommend we modify our response on the CAFR General Disclosure fonn. I would include
significantly more detail about the homicide, the timing of things, why there was an opinion
(even if incorrectly) that aCE could do this and what the intent was. Also, I am not big on
naming someone. "We made the decision to fund," or "a decision was made to fund", or
something like; "as an outcome to a tragic event involving one or our primary customers
employees, OCE assisted with .... " "It was later detennined that this funding was outside the
parameters outlined in ...... " Just some thoughts to discuss when we meet. We might even get
our communications staff (Heidi) involved, notify some folks ahead of the document going
downtown, provide a heads-up to Steve Powers and let EOCI know. I think we need to be very
thoughtful about next steps.
Talk soon.

Fyi .. Mitch needs to realize that this is the kind of stuff that an auditor will check. They cancelled my meeting
until tomorrow so my guess is that they are talking to some people.

Hi Neil,
This morning you had asked about who actually obligated the funds for the funeral. We pulled the e-mails from
Betty Bernt's account and found the attached emails between Betty & Mitch. r think that you can form your
own opinion on this. The comment is made "any more crap aboutthe money OCE spent on the funeral stuff'?
You will also notice that no OCE executives were copied on any of the emails.
Thanks,
Rob

Good Morning Mitch,
I assume that you are asking for emails related to the funeral expenditure at this point. Please keep in mind that
a formal audit or review of the expenses has not been done. If you recall, I recommended that in January &
February.
So in response to your request, we assembled the attached emails and financials related to the funeral. We do
have everything in our systems (Fiscal, HR, Contracts, IS) if need be. In crafting the CAFR response I
recommend that we review at least the following:
1. Why did OCE/DOC do it? Obviously this was done to take care of the Herron family and assist the
community. That is, there was no personal gain for anyone.
2. Did the expenses exceed the constitutional and statutory authority of OCE? Obviously this is the most
important point as it triggers the reporting requirements. Both Neil and I think that it was. If you feel differently
then I recommend another DOJ opinion specific to this situation.
3. How were the expenses obligated? The Director's office dealt directly with Betty Bernt. No OCE executives
were notified until after the funds were obligated. I think that Gary, Laura & I wish that we could say
something differently but we can't. This is important because it will help determine how we craft the message.
Thanks,
Rob

Rob,
Thanks for this information. In your email to Colette and me last
week you write "I had Neil Bryant review Mitch's email from earlier this
year." I am not seeing that email in the attachments above. Will you
send that document my way as well. Thanks.
Based on what I have read, if the decision to respond is seen as
necessary by Colette, I would recommend we modify our response on the
CAFR General Disclosure form. I would include significantly more detail
about the homicide, the timing of things, why there was an opinion (even
if incorrectly) that OCE could do this and what the intent was. Also, I
am not big on naming someone. "We made the decision to fund," or "a
decision was made to fund", or something like; "as an outcome to a
tragic event involving one or our primary customers employees, OCE
assisted with .... " "It was later detennined that this funding was
outside the parameters outlined in ...... " Just some thoughts to discuss
when we meet. We might even get our communications staff (Heidi)
involved, notify some folks ahead of the document going downtown,
provide a heads-up to Steve Powers and let EOCI know. I think we need
to be very thoughtful about next steps.
Talk soon.

Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a requirement for the state CAFR that I found out about
last Friday after it was flagged by our Fiscal Manager. It is asking for
any violations oflegal or contractual provisions during the fiscal
year. It gives the example of expending revenues for purposes other than
outlined in constitutional provisions. This same question came up
recently with our annual CPA audit. I need to resolve this requirement
with both entities.
I had Neil Bryant review Mitch's email from earlier this year and his
opinion is that the expenses related to the Buddy Herron funeral where
outside the scope of our laws (attached is Neil's letter). I reviewed
this with our CPA along with the reasoning for the support. I explained
that the new Director took immediate short telID action with the
formation of a memorandum of understanding and was taking long term
action by having Portland State University review and provide
recommendations on the organization. The CPA felt that the expense was
immaterial and suggested noting it in our "manager's recommendation'!
supplement to the audit as she felt that it was handled appropriately.
Because it was financially immaterial it would not be mentioned in the
actual audit. You do need to keep in mind that our auditor looks at OCE
from a business perspective and not governmental. The state may have
different standards related to the definition of inmlaterial. I have yet
to get back to the auditor on this.
As stated earlier, I did not know about the CAFR requirement until
14
KIL_PSU_ 003458
last Friday. It is due this Monday but I have put a hold on it until we
can discuss or I get direction from you. I recommend that we report the
expenses related to the Herron funeral and describe what action has been
taken to keep us within the scope of our laws in the future. Please let
me know how you would like to proceed.
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a description of the OCE sponsorship during Con-ections Employees Week. I really liked the way
that we did it this year because of the personal interaction between DOC & OCE staff.
You will also find an accounting of expenses that have been booked to Sales & Marketing relating to DOC for
FYE '12. In answer to your questions relating to "reportable" or "immaterial" I have to say that I don't know.
The reason that this has come up is because of the legal opinion regarding the Herron funeral which ultimately
was triggered from the Business Practice e-mail in January and the need to comply with our annual audit.
It is interesting if you look at the dates. You will notice that the activity pretty much stopped (except for
corrections week) once the Inter Agency Agreement was put into place. However, as we talked about yesterday,
we need to figure this out in a way that benefits & builds the relationship.
I spoke to Neil earlier in the day about the CAFR and the additional information that I supplied him. He was
24
KIL_PSU_ 003468
going to call you immediately afterwards. I hope that you connected. Perhaps we can discuss tomorrow.

Rob,
Congratulations on the wedding. Sorry you had to be here this week when
you should have been off. Please enjoy the two weeks.
Colette and I continued our conversation regarding the CAFR report and
we would like to get some additional information from you (or Laura).
Would you please provide us with the amount of OCE funds obligated
during Corrections Employee Week across the agency and what those funds
were actually spent on (candy, soda, hotdogs). Then, we would be
interested in what the Administration of OCE sees as the justification
for those expenditures. Based on our conversation yesterday, you
indicated it was a sales and marketing expense. I get that and we
completely agree. What we need is for you to articulate the sales and
marketing justification. As we continue to work through the decision on
the CAFR, we would like to do a side-by-side comparison of our
perspective on the Herron expense and your justification on the
Corrections Employee Week expense.
Finally, are there any other examples you can think of during the past
year at OCE that you would consider expenditures outside the
constitutional or statutOlY language parameters? At what point (dollar
amount, number of incidents) does the OCE administration consider these
expenditures either as "reportable" or as immaterial with regard to the
CAFR report expectation?
Sorry for the additional work. We just want to make sure we are being
supportive and that we take everything into consideration as we move
towards a decision. Thanks for the conversation yesterday and please
don't hesitate to call or write if you have any questions.
Mitch

25
KIL_PSU_ 003469
Thanks Rob.
On point # 1: I would add that not unlike expenditures made during
Corrections Employee Week, this expenditure is a way to market OCE by
supporting a primary business partner during a very difficult and tragic
time.
On point #2: I don't believe the question is did the expense "exceed
the constitutional and statutory authority of OCE," but rather did the
expenditure fall within constitutional or statutory parameters. I think
there continues to be some level of disagreement on the nexus between
the expenditure and the connection to a primary business patiner. And
although connected, the first point does differ a bit from the decision
needing to made as to if the expenditure should be repOlied to the CAFR
or if the expenditure is immaterial.
On point #3: Dealing with a mid-level manager (especially one that
handles such things for OCE) would not be an unusual action (it happened
many times before and has occurred since). I am not sure of the timing
of things, but it does appear Betty notified you via email on 11/30/11
of what was requested. Also, I do recall very clearly asking Betty
during a phone call with her to have you call me if there were any
concerns on you part when the request was made to have OCE support the
Herron family. Given that, I think we may disagree a bit on the
notification/proper engagement points you are making.
All that aside, we'll get tIllS resolved. I do apologize if I offended
you in any way today, that was not my intent. We simply view things
differently based on our own backgrounds. That does not make either of
us a "weak" leader, and that was not what I was categorizing you as. It
just points out that we come from different perspectives. OCE has
accomplished some tremendous things under your leadership and I have

Good Moming Mitch,
I assume that you are asking for emails related to the funeral
expenditure at this point. Please keep in mind that a formal audit or
review of the expenses has not been done. If you recall, I recommended
that in January & February.
So in response to your request, we assembled the attached emails and
financials related to the funeral. We do have everything in our systems
(Fiscal, HR, Contracts, IS) if need be. In crafting the CAFR response I
recommend that we review at least the following:
1. Why did OCEIDOC do it? Obviously this was done to take care of the
Herron family and assist the community. That is, there was no personal
gain for anyone.
2. Did the expenses exceed the constitutional and statutory authority of
OCE? Obviously this is the most important point as it triggers the
repOliing requirements. Both Neil and I think that it was. If you feel
differently then I recommend another DOJ opinion specific to this
situation.
3. How were the expenses obligated? The Director's office dealt directly
with Betty Bemt. No OCE executives were notified until after the funds
Were obligated. I think that Gary, Laura & I wish that we could say
something differently but we can't. This is important because it will
help determine how we craft the message.
Thanks,
Rob

provide a heads-up to Steve Powers and let EOCI know. I think we need

Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a requirement for the state CAFR that I found out about
last Friday after it was flagged by our Fiscal Manager. It is asking for
any violations of legal or contractual provisions during the fiscal
year. It gives the example of expending revenues for purposes other than
outlined in constitutional provisions. This same question came up
recently with our annual CPA audit. I need to resolve this requirement
with both entities.
I had Neil Bryant review Mitch's email from earlier this year and his
opinion is that the expenses related to the Buddy Herron funeral where
outside the scope of our laws (attached is Neil's letter). I reviewed
this with our CPA along with the reasoning for the support. I explained
that the new Director took immediate short telID action with the
fornlation of a memorandum of understanding and was taking long term
action by having Portland State University review and provide
recommendations on the organization. The CPA felt that the expense was
immaterial and suggested noting it in our "manager's recommendation"
supplement to the audit as she felt that it was handled appropriately.
Because it was financially immaterial it would not be mentioned in the
actual audit. You do need to keep in mind that our auditor looks at OCE
from a business perspective and not governmental. The state may have
different standards related to the definition of immaterial. I have yet
to get back to the auditor on this.
As stated earlier, I did not know about the CAFR requirement until
last Friday. It is due this Monday but I have put a hold on it until we
can discuss or I get direction from you. I recommend that we report the
expenses related to the Herron funeral and describe what action has been
taken to keep us within the scope of our laws in the future. Please let
me know how you would like to proceed.

Good Morning Colette & Mitch,
Neil called me last night and said that he worked out a solution with Colette. He will give us another opinion
that recommends not reporting the funeral expenses to the CAFR because there was no criminal activity
involved. He does still stand by his opinion that it was outside the scope of the law and should be disclosed to
the CPA Auditors. Laura & I will sign the CAFR this morning and get it to DAS.
While I am on vacation, Gary, Laura, Ann & Betty can draft a fonnal process for these types of activities in the
future. It should dovetail nicely with the interagency agreement and create a system that is transparent and
easily justified. We can review the draft at our next briefing with you.

Hi Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a description of the OCE sponsorship during Corrections Employees Week. I really liked the way
that we did it this year because of the personal interaction between DOC & OCE staff.
You will also find an accounting of expenses that have been booked to Sales & Marketing relating to DOC for
FYE '12. In answer to your questions relating to "reportable" or "immaterial" I have to say that I don't know.
The reason that this has corne up is because of the legal opinion regarding the Herron funeral which ultimately
was triggered from the Business Practice e-mail in January and the need to comply with our annual audit.
It is interesting if you look at the dates. You will notice that the activity pretty much stopped (except for
corrections week) once the Inter Agency Agreement was put into place. However, as we talked about yesterday,
we need to figure this out in a way that benefits & builds the relationship.
I spoke to Neil earlier in the day about the CAFR and the additional information that I supplied him. He was
going to call you immediately afterwards. I hope that you connected. Perhaps we can discuss tomorrow.

Rob,
Congratulations on the wedding. SOlTY you had to be here this week when
you should have been off. Please enjoy the two weeks.
Colette and I continued our conversation regarding the CAFR report and
we would like to get some additional information from you (or Laura).
Would you please provide us with the amount of OCE funds obligated
during COlTections Employee Week across the agency and what those funds
were actually spent on (candy, soda, hotdogs). Then, we would be
interested in what the Administration of OCE sees as the justification
for those expenditures. Based on our conversation yesterday, you
indicated it was a sales and marketing expense. I get that and we
completely agree. What we need is for you to articulate the sales and
marketing justification. As we continue to work through the decision on
the CAFR, we would like to do a side-by-side comparison of our
perspective on the Herron expense and your justification on the
COlTections Employee Week expense.
Finally, are there any other examples you can think of during the past
year at OCE that you would consider expenditures outside the
constitutional or statutory language parameters? At what point (dollar
amount, number of incidents) does the OCE administration consider these
expenditures either as "reportable" or as immaterial with regard to the
CAFR report expectation?
SOlTY for the additional work. We just want to make sure we are being
supportive and that we take everything into consideration as we move
towards a decision. Thanks for the conversation yesterday and please
don't hesitate to call or write if you have any questions.
Mitch

KIL_PSU_ 003479
On point # 1: I would add that not unlike expenditures made during
Corrections Employee Week, this expenditure is a way to market OCE by
suppOliing a primary business partner during a very difficult and tragic
time.
On point #2: I don't believe the question is did the expense "exceed
the constitutional and statutory authority of OCE," but rather did the
expenditure fall within constitutional or statutory parameters. I think
there continues to be some level of disagreement on the nexus between
the expenditure and the connection to a primary business partner. And
although connected, the first point does differ a bit from the decision
needing to made as to if the expenditure should be reported to the CAFR
or if the expenditure is immaterial.
On point #3: Dealing with a mid-level manager (especially one that
handles such things for OCE) would not be an unusual action (it happened
many times before and has occurred since). I am not sure ofthe timing
of things, but it does appear Betty notified you via email on 11/30/11
of what was requested. Also, I do recall very clearly asking Betty
during a phone call with her to have you call me if there were any
concems on you part when the request was made to have OCE suppOli the
HelTon family. Given that, I think we may disagree a bit on the
notification/proper engagement points you are making.
All that aside, we'll get this resolved. I do apologize if I offended
you in any way today, that was not my intent. We simply view things
differently based on our own backgrounds. That does not make either of
us a "weak" leader, and that was not what I was categorizing you as. It
just points out that we come from different perspectives. OCE has
accomplished some tremendous things under your leadership and I have
nothing but the upmost respect for you.
It might be time for you and I to have lunch. We (you and I and
DOC/OCE) have been making some great progress and I don't want us to
lose momentum. Talk soon.

I assume that you are asking for emails related to the funeral
expenditure at this point. Please keep in mind that a formal audit or
review of the expenses has not been done. If you recall, I recommended
that in January & February.
. So in response to your request, we assembled the attached emails and
financials related to the funeral. We do have everything in our systems
(Fiscal, HR, Contracts, IS) if need be. In crafting the CAFR response I
recommend that we review at least the following:
1. Why did OCE/DOC do it? Obviously this was done to take care of the
Herron family and assist the community. That is, there was no personal
gain for anyone.
2. Did the expenses exceed the constitutional and statutory authority of
OCE? Obviously this is the most important point as it triggers the
reporting requirements. Both Neil and I think that it was. If you feel
differently then I recommend another DOJ opinion specific to this
situation.
3. How were the expenses obligated? The Director's office dealt directly
with Betty Bemt. No OCE executives were notified until after the funds

something differently but we can't. This is important because it will

Good Morning Colette & Mitch,
Neil called me last night and said that he worked out a solution with Colette. He will give us another opinion
that recommends not repOliing the funeral expenses to the CAFR because there was no criminal activity
involved. He does still stand by his opinion that it was outside the scope of the law and should be disclosed to
the CPA Auditors. Laura & I will sign the CAFR this morning and get it to DAS.
While I am on vacation, Gary, Laura, Ann & Betty can draft a formal process for these types of activities in the
future. It should dovetail nicely with the il).teragency agreement and create a system that is transparent and
easily justified. We can review the draft at our next briefing with you.
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a description of the OCE sponsorship during COlTections Employees Week. I really liked the way
that we did it this year because of the personal interaction between DOC & OCE staff.
You will also find an accounting of expenses that have been booked to Sales & Marketing relating to DOC for
FYE '12. In answer to your questions relating to "reportable" or "immaterial" I have to say that I don't know.
The reason that this has come up is because of the legal opinion regarding the Herron funeral which ultimately
44
KIL_PSU_ 003488
was triggered from the Business Practice e-mail in January and the need to comply with our annual audit.
It is interesting if you look at the dates. You will notice that the activity pretty much stopped (except for
cOlTections week) once the Inter Agency Agreement was put into place. However, as we talked about yesterday,
we need to figure this out in a way that benefits & builds the relationship.
I spoke to Neil earlier in the day about the CAFR and the additional information that I supplied him. He was
going to call you immediately afterwards. I hope that you connected. Perhaps we can discuss tomOlTOw.
Thanks,
Rob

Rob,
Congratulations on the wedding. SOlTY you had to be here this week when
you should have been off. Please enjoy the two weeks.
Colette and I continued our conversation regarding the CAFR report and
we would like to get some additional infOlmation from you (or Laura).
Would you please provide us with the amount of OCE funds obligated
during COlTections Employee Week across the agency and what those funds
were actually spent on (candy, soda, hotdogs). Then, we would be
interested in what the Administration of OCE sees as the justification
for those expenditures. Based on our conversation yesterday, you
indicated it was a sales and marketing expense. I get that and we
completely agree. What we need is for you to atiiculate the sales and
marketing justification. As we continue to work through the decision on
the CAFR, we would like to do a side-by-side comparison of our
perspective on the HelTon expense and your justification on the
COlTections Employee Week expense.
Finally, are there any other examples you can think of during the past
year at OCE that you would consider expenditures outside the
constitutional or statutory language parameters? At what point (dollar
amount, number of incidents) does the OCE administration consider these
expenditures either as IrepOliable" or as immaterial with regard to the
CAFR report expectation?
Sorry for the additional work. We just want to make sure we are being
supportive and that we take everything into consideration as we move
towards a decision. Thanks for the conversation yesterday and please
don't hesitate to call or write if you have any questions.

Thanks Rob.
On point # 1: I would add that not unlike expenditures made during
Corrections Employee Week, this expenditure is a way to market OCE by
supporting a primary business partner during a very difficult and tragic
time.
On point #2: I don't believe the question is did the expense "exceed
the constitutional and statutory authority of OCE," but rather did the
expenditure fall within constitutional or statutory parameters. I think
there continues to be some level of disagreement on the nexus between
the expenditure and the connection to a primary business partner. And
although connected, the first point does differ a bit from the decision
needing to made as to if the expenditure should be reported to the CAFR
or if the expenditure is immaterial.
On point #3: Dealing with a mid-level manager (especially one that
handles such things for OCE) would not be an unusual action (it happened
many times before and has occurred since). I am not sure of the timing
of things, but it does appear Betty notified you via email on 11130111
of what was requested. Also, I do recall very clearly asking Betty
during a phone call with her to have you call me if there were any
concerns on you part when the'request was made to have aCE support the
Herron family. Given that, I think we may disagree a bit on the
notification/proper engagement points you are making.
All that aside, we'll get this resolved. I do apologize if I offended
you in any way today, that was not my intent. We simply view things
differently based on our own backgrounds. That does not make either of
us a "weak" leader, and that was not what I was categorizing you as. It
just points out that we come from different perspectives. OCE has
accomplished some tremendous things under your leadership and I have
nothing but the upmost respect for you.
It might be time for you and I to have lunch. We (you and I and
DOC/OCE) have been making some great progress and I don't want us to
lose momentum. Talk soon.

Good Morning Mitch,
I assume that you are asking for emails related to the funeral
expenditure at this point. Please keep in mind that a formal audit or
review of the expenses has not been done. If you recall, I recommended
that in January & February.
So in response to your request, we assembled the attached emails and
financials related to the funeral. We do have everything in our systems
(Fiscal, HR, Contracts, IS) if need be. In crafting the CAFR response I
recommend that we review at least the following:
1. Why did OCE/DOC do it? Obviously this was done to take care of the
Henon family and assist the community. That is, there was no personal
gain for anyone.
2. Did the expenses exceed the constitutional and statutory authority of
aCE? Obviously this is the most important point as it triggers the
repOliing requirements. Both Neil and I think that it was. If you feel
differently then I recommend another DOJ opinion specific to this
situation.
3. How were the expenses obligated? The Director's office dealt directly
with Betty Bernt. No OCE executives were notified until after the funds
were obligated. I think that Gary, Laura & I wish that we could say
something differently but we can't. This is important because it will
help detelmine how we craft the message.
Thanks,
Rob

Subject: FW: CAFR Question
Importance: High
Sensitivity: Confidential
Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a requirement for the state CAFR that I found out about
last Friday after it was flagged by our Fiscal Manager. It is asking for
ailY violations of legal or contractual provisions during the fiscal
year. It gives the example of expending revenues for purposes other than
outlined in constitutional provisions. This same question came up
recently with our annual CPA audit. I need to resolve this requirement
with both entities.
I had Neil Bryant review Mitch's email from earlier this year and his
opinion is that the expenses related to the Buddy Herron funeral where
outside the scope of our laws (attached is Neil's letter). I reviewed
this with our CPA along with the reasoning for the support. I explained
that the new Director took immediate short telm action with the
fonnation of a memorandum of understanding and was taking long telm
action by having Portland State University review and provide
recommendations on the organization. The CPA felt that the expense was
immaterial and suggested noting it in our "manager's recommendation"
supplement to the audit as she felt that it was handled appropriately.
Because it was financially immaterial it would not be mentioned in the
actual audit. You do need to keep in mind that our auditor looks at OCE
from a business perspective and not governmental. The state may have
different standards related to the definition of immaterial. I have yet
to get back to the auditor on this.
As stated earlier, I did not know about the CAFR requirement until
51
KIL_PSU_ 003495
last Friday. It is due this Monday but I have put a hold on it until we
can discuss or I get direction from you. I recommend that we report the
expenses related to the Herron funeral and describe what action has been
taken to keep us within the scope of our laws in the future. Please let
me know how you would like to proceed.
Thanks,
Rob

I'm fairly sure that failure to report the funeral expenditures when the CAFR specifically asks the question,
doesn't meet Government Accounting Standards. I very sure that those specific payments and any other similar

Importance: High

Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a requirement for the state CAFR that I found out about
61
KIL_PSU_ 003505
last Friday after it was flagged by our Fiscal Manager. It is asking for
any violations of legal or contractual provisions during the fiscal
year. It gives the example of expending revenues for purposes other than
outlined in constitutional provisions. This same question came up
recently with our annual CPA audit. I need to resolve this requirement
with both entities.
I had Neil Bryant review Mitch's email from earlier this year and his
opinion is that the expenses related to the Buddy Herron funeral where
outside the scope of our laws (attached is Neil's letter). I reviewed
this with our CPA along with the reasoning for the support. I explained
that the new Director took immediate short term action with the
fOlmation of a memorandum of understanding and was taking long ternl
action by having POliland State University review and provide
recommendations on the organization. The CP A felt that the expense was
immaterial and suggested noting it in our "manager's recommendation"
supplement to the audit as she felt that it was handled appropriately.
Because it was financially immaterial it would not be mentioned in the
actual audit. You do need to keep in mind that our auditor looks at OCE
from a business perspective and not govemmental. The state may have
different standards related to the definition of immaterial. I have yet
to get back to the auditor on this.
As stated earlier, I did not know about the CAFR requirement until
last Friday. It is due this Monday but I have put a hold on it until we
can discuss or I get direction from you. I recommend that we report the
expenses related to the Herron funeral and describe what action has been
taken to keep us within the scope of our laws in the future. Please let
me know how you would like to proceed.
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Laura,
Hope your trip is going well and you're staying cool.
We are completing the general disclosure portion of the CAFR and I
have a question about how I should respond to "Violations of Legal or
Contractual Provisions".
One of the examples is expending revenue for purposes other than
outlined in constitutional provisions.
There is the funeral. Please let me know how you would like me to

Kitzhaber names former Republican
lawmaker to OlCC

~ Y Harry Esteve, The OregonianThe Oregonian
o "'".-.--.--------.-----
L-_____________________ --lMichael Lloyd/The Oregonian Former Rep. Rob Patridge,
R-Medford, (left) was a freshman in the Oregon House when this photo was taken during the1999 legislative session.
Gov. John Kitzhaber has offered up a former Republican lawmaker to be the newest member of the Oregon Liquor
Control Commission, a move widely seen as part of his effort to get rid of the agency's longtime director Steve Pharo.
Kitzhaber asked Pharo to resign months ago, but he refused. An effort by the OlCC's five-member governing board
to fire Pharo also failed when it became clear it was one vote short. Rob Patridge, who served three terms in the House,
could provide the needed third vote.
"Certainly Rob and the other commissioners are well aware of the governor's concerns about the leadership of the OlCC,"
said Kitzhaber spokesman Tim Raphael.
Attempts to reach Pharo were unsuccessful Thursday. OlCC Chairwoman Cassandra Skinnerlopata wouldn't comment on
what the future holds for Pharo or whether the board would call a meeting soon to discuss firing him.
"We don't have a line-up yet for our agenda items," Skinnerlopata said. But she was quick to praise the governor's
choice, noting Patridge's previous experience as a legislator, city councilor and deputy district attorney.
Patridge, who was viewed as among the more moderate Republicans when he was in the House, has been active in local
politics in the Medford area. last year, he ran unsuccessfully for Jackson County district attorney.
He wouldn't directly discuss whether he was being brought on board as the swing vote needed to push Pharo out.
65
KIL_PSU_ 003509
"I'm going to come in and look at it and see what's going on and evaluate/' said Patridge, who still must be confirmed by
the Oregon Senate, which will take up executive appointments on Sept. 14. "I don't have any preconceived notions."
In March, after Kitzhaber had sent one of his aides to Pharo's office seeking his resignation, the board called a special
meeting to discuss ousting Pharo. The board then cancelled its meeting without explanation.
A month later, the board tried again, announcing a meeting at which it planned to hold a closed-door discussion about
whether to fire the director. Again the meeting was cancelled with no explanation.
Speculation centered on the board's make-up, which included three members appointed by former Gov. Ted Kulongoski
and two by Kitzhaber. If Patridge is confirmed, he would replace Rob Roome, a Bend lawyer who represents the 2nd
Congressional District on the commission and was a Kulongoski pick.
The reasons why Kitzhaber wants Pharo out aren't entirely clear. Pharo and the agency have come under increasing
scrutiny by lawmakers, especially in light of the vote in Washington earlier this year to privatize liquor sales. Oregon has
maintained tight control over liquor since Prohibition ended in the 1930s, and reaps about $100 million a year in profits
for the state general fund.
last year, Pharo was scolded by legislators for working too closely with a high-profile lobbyist representing wine
distributors and targeting a discount grocery chain that wanted to store and ship wine without paying the distributors.
Sen. Jason Atkinson, R-Central Point, all but accused Pharo and his lieutenants of lying about how much it would cost to
collect taxes from stores that bypass distributors.
In an interview shortly after he was asked to resign, Pharo told The Oregonian he was not given a reason why. "I have to
wonder if the governor is making political deals," he said at the time.

Hello Rob,
Thanks for writing the email. I appreciate you checking in. No need to worry about the ruckus,
that's what we're here for. What worried me more is that we weren't there for you on the front-
end to ensure that the ruckus didn't even happen. I propose we spend more time together so that
we are all on the same page and that you not only understand what Mitch and I are thinking but
that trust begins to get built up. I'm fearful that it's not there. We intend to continue to run this
agency filled with integrity and transparency. I want to get you to a place where you believe that
wholeheartedly.
67
KIL_PSU_ 003511
I know that the meeting was difficult for you - I could see it on your face and hear it in your
voice. I got the sense that there were other things that have happened in the past that have made
you nervous .. I recognize that going forward, the MOD and a better understanding amongst the
three of us, will probably resolve issues before they are created. Yet, I think we need to explore
the past a little bit. I think as your new Director I need to understand things that have happened
in the past that make you nervous so that I can fully support you. I understand you are out for a
couple of weeks but when you get back, will you create a list of all the personnel moves or
issues, expenditures, DOC actions, OCE actions, etc. that have made you nervous during your
tenure as the administrator? And, I want them all - big and small. Then I'd like to spend some
time with you understanding the list and talking about the history and the intent. I'm hoping this
will put us all in a better place going forward.
As far as your relationship with Mitch, I'm less concerned with the personal relationship - the
"dysfunctional brothers" as you put it. That is up to the two of you to either resolve, or not, as
friends. What I'm most concerned about is your professional relationship as Administrator to
Deputy Director.
First, let me begin to explain my professional respect for Mitch because it is without
reproach. He is a leader that sits above most. His background, experience, history with the
agency, and ability to see the agency and the enterprise of state government in three-dimensions,
really has put him in the category of one of the best leaders I've ever met - amongst the public
and private sector. I've been working with him now for almost 8 liz years since the day he hired
me. And it's been 8 liz years without intenuption; while Max, Mitch, and I operated like a well-
oiled machine when I first came to DOC, that did not end when I moved to OY A. Rarely was
there a major problem or a plan that I didn't run by Mitch. The partnership we've had is
priceless to me. So, for me to return and work side by side with him in my new role I couldn't
be more relieved to have him at my side or feel so blessed.
I start here, because I get the sense that you do not see him like I do. I don't know if your
friendship has gotten in the way of you understanding who he is as a leader, but I believe you've
misjudged him for who he is. And while I may be wrong on how you "feel" about him, I do
sense a lack of respect and even acknowledgement of his background, experience, history,
dedication to OCE's success, and dedication to your personal success. I'd like you to spend
some time reflecting on this and I'm happy to talk with you one-on-one to flush this out
further. Just let me know.
I think that the coming year is filled with opportunities for success and change, so let's resolve
some of these issues soon.
Thanks for your dedication to making this partnership work, Rob.

Good Moming Colette,
I want to apologize for the ruckus that this has created. I more than realize that you do not need
anything else on your plate right now. I hope that I was not overly rude towards you the other
day (probably overly stubbom).It is impOliant to me that DOC, OCE, and the Director's office
are all successful.
Please do not won'y about my relationship with Mitch. We've worked together along time and
are kind of dysfunctional brothers. The funny thing is Mitch and I disagree more about how
things are done rather than what is done.
This coming year will be challenging in many ways for both DOC and OCE so I feel it is
important that I have a strong relationship with the Director's office to be successful. Please do
not hesitate to contact me if you need any assistance.
Thanks,

Good Morning Colette & Mitch,
Neil called me last night and said that he worked out a solution with Colette. He will give us
another opinion that recommends not reporting the funeral expenses to the CAFR because there
was no criminal activity involved. He does still stand by his opinion that it was outside the scope
of the law and should be disclosed to the CPA Auditors. Laura & I will sign the CAFR this
morning and get it to DAS.
While I am on vacation, Gary, Laura, Ann & Betty can draft a fOlmal process for these types of
activities in the future. It should dovetail nicely with the interagency agreement and create a
system that is transparent and easily justified. We can review the draft at our next briefing with
you.

Hi Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a description of the OCE sponsorship during Conections Employees Week. I really
liked the way that we did it this year because of the personal interaction between DOC & OCE
staff.
You will also find an accounting of expenses that have been booked to Sales & Marketing
relating to DOC for FYE '12. In answer to your questions relating to "reportable" or "immaterial"
I have to say that I don't know. The reason that this has come up is because of the legal opinion
regarding the Henon funeral which ultimately was triggered from the Business Practice e-mail in
January and the need to comply with our annual audit.
It is interesting if you look at the dates. You will notice that the activity pretty much stopped
(except for corrections week) once the Inter Agency Agreement was put into place. However, as
we talked about yesterday, we need to figure this out in a way that benefits & builds the
relationship.
I spoke to Neil earlier in the day about the CAFR and the additional information that I supplied
him. He was going to call you immediately afterwards. I hope that you connected. Perhaps we
can discuss tomorrow.
Thanks,
Rob

Rob,
Congratulations on the wedding. Sorry you had to be here this week when you should have been
off. Please enjoy the two weeks.
Colette and I continued our conversation regarding the CAFR report and we would like to get
some additional information from you (or Laura).
Would you please provide us with the amount of OCE funds obligated during Conections
Employee Week across the agency and what those funds were actually spent on (candy, soda,
hotdogs). Then, we would be interested in what the Administration ofOCE sees as the
justification for those expenditures. Based on our conversation yesterday, you indicated it was a
sales and marketing expense. I get that and we completely agree. What we need is for you to
atiiculate the sales and marketing justification. As we continue to work through the decision on
the CAFR, we would like to do a side-by-side comparison of our perspective on the Henon
expense and your justification on the Conections Employee Week expense.
Finally, are there any other examples you can think of during the past year at OCE that you
would consider expenditures outside the constitutional or statutory language parameters? At
what point (dollar amount, number of incidents) does the OCE administration consider these
expenditures either as "reportable" or as immatelial with regard to the CAFR repOli expectation?
Sorry for the additional work. We just want to make sure we are being supportive and that we
take everything into consideration as we move towards a decision. Thanks for the conversation
yesterday and please don't hesitate to call or write if you have any questions.

Subject: RE: CAFR Question
Thanks Rob.
On point # 1: I would add that not unlike expenditures made during Corrections Employee
Week, this expenditure is a way to market OCE by supporting a primary business partner during
a very difficult and tragic time.
On point #2: I don't believe the question is did the expense "exceed the constitutional and
statutory authority of OCE," but rather did the expenditure fall within constitutional or statutory
parameters. I think there continues to be some level of disagreement on the nexus between the
expenditure and the connection to a primary business pminer. And although connected, the first
point does differ a bit from the decision needing to made as to if the expenditure should be
reported to the CAFR or if the expenditure is immaterial.
On point #3: Dealing with a mid-level manager (especially one that handles such things for
OCE) would not be an unusual action (it happened many times before and has occurred since). I
am not sure of the timing of things, but it does appear Betty notified you via email on 11/30111
of what was requested. Also, I do recall very clearly asking Betty during a phone call with her to
have you call me if there were any concems on you pmi when the request was made to have
OCE suppOli the HelTon family. Given that, I think we may disagree a bit on the
notification/proper engagement points you are making.
All that aside, we'll get this resolved. I do apologize if I offended you in any way today, that was
not my intent. We simply view things differently based on our own backgrounds. That does not
make either of us a "weak" leader, and that was not what I was categorizing you as. It just points
out that we come from different perspectives. OCE has accomplished some tremendous things
under your leadership and I have
nothing but the upmost respect for you.
It might be time for you and I to have lunch. We (you and I and
DOC/OCE) have been making some great progress and I don't want us to lose momentum. Talk
soon.

Good Morning Mitch,
I assume that you are asking for emails related to the funeral expenditure at this point. Please
keep in mind that a fOlmal audit or review of the expenses has not been done. If you recall, I
recommended that in January & February.
So in response to your request, we assembled the attached emails and financials related to the
funeral. We do have everything in our systems (Fiscal, HR, Contracts, IS) ifneed be. In crafting
the CAFR response I recommend that we review at least the following:
1. Why did OCE/DOC do it? Obviously this was done to take care of the Herron family and
assist the community. That is, there was no personal gain for anyone.
2. Did the expenses exceed the constitutional and statutory authority of OCE? Obviously this is
the most important point as it triggers the reporting requirements. Both Neil and I think that it
was. If you feel differently then I recommend another DOJ opinion specific to this situation.
74
KIL_PSU_ 003518
3. How were the expenses obligated? The Director's office dealt directly with Betty Bernt. No
OCE executives were notified until after the funds were obligated. I think that Gary, Laura & I
wish that we could say something differently but we can't. This is important because it will help
determine how we craft the message.
Thanks,
Rob

Because it was financially immaterial it would not be mentioned in the actual audit. You do need
to keep in mind that our auditor looks at OCE from a business perspective and not governmental.
The state may have different standards related to the definition of immaterial. I have yet to get
back to the auditor on this.

Subject: RE: CAFR Question
Hello Rob,
Thanks for writing the email. I appreciate you checking in. No
need to wony about the ruckus, that's what we're here for. What
wonied me more is that we weren't there for you on the front-end
to ensure that the ruckus didn't even happen. I propose we spend
more time together so that we are all on the same page and that you
not only understand what Mitch and I are thinking but that trust
begins to get built up. I'm fearful that it's not there. We intend to
continue to run this agency filled with integrity and transparency. I
want to get you to a place where you believe that wholeheartedly.
84
KIL_PSU_ 003528
I know that the meeting was difficult for you - I could see it on
your face and hear it in your voice. I got the sense that there were
other things that have happened in the past that have made you
nervous. I recognize that going forward, the MOU and a better
understanding amongst the three of us, will probably resolve issues
before they are created. Yet, I think we need to explore the past a
little bit. I think as your new Director I need to understand things
that have happened in the past that make you nervous so that I can
fully support you. I understand you are out for a couple of weeks
but when you get back, will you create a list of all the personnel
moves or issues, expenditures, DOC actions, OCE actions, etc. that
have made you nervous during your tenure as the
administrator? And, I want them all - big and small. Then I'd like
to spend some time with you understanding the list and talking
about the history and the intent. I'm hoping this will put us all in a
better place going forward.
As far as your relationship with Mitch, I'm less concerned with the
personal relationship - the "dysfunctional brothers" as you put
it. That is up to the two of you to either resolve, or not, as
friends. What I'm most concerned about is your professional
relationship as Administrator to Deputy Director.
First, let me begin to explain my professional respect for Mitch
because it is without reproach. He is a leader that sits above
most. His background, experience, history with the agency, and
ability to see the agency and the enterprise of state government in
three-dimensions, really has put him in the category of one of the
best leaders I've ever met - amongst the public and private
sector. I've been working with him now for almost 8 Yi years
since the day he hired me. And it's been 8 Yi years without
interruption; while Max, Mitch, and I operated like a well-oiled
machine when I first came to DOC, that did not end when I moved
to OY A. Rarely was there a major problem or a plan that I didn't
run by Mitch. The pminership we've had is priceless to me. So,
for me to return and work side by side with him in my new role I
couldn't be more relieved to have him at my side or feel so
blessed.
I start here, because I get the sense that you do not see him like I
do. I don't know if your friendship has gotten in the way of you
understanding who he is as a leader, but I believe you've
misjudged him for who he is. And while I may be wrong on how
85
KIL_PSU_ 003529
you "feel" about him, I do sense a lack of respect and even
acknowledgement of his background, experience, history,
dedication to OCE's success, and dedication to your personal
success. I'd like you to spend some time reflecting on this and I'm
happy to talk with you one-on-one to flush this out further. Just let
me know.
I think that the coming year is filled with opportunities for success
and change, so let's resolve some of these issues soon.
Thanks for your dedication to making this partnership work, Rob.
Sincerely,
Colette

Good Morning Colette,
I want to apologize for the ruckus that this has
created. I more than realize that you do not need
anything else on your plate right now. I hope that I
was not overly rude towards you the other day
(probably overly stubborn).It is important to me that
86
KIL_PSU_ 003530
DOC, OCE, and the Director's office are all
successful.
Please do not worry about my relationship with
Mitch. We've worked together along time and are
kind of dysfunctional brothers. The funny thing is
Mitch and I disagree more about how things are
done rather than what is done.
This coming year will be challenging in many ways
for both DOC and OCE so I feel it is important that
I have a strong relationship with the Director's
office to be successful. Please do not hesitate to
contact me if you need any assistance.
Thanks,
Rob

Good Morning Colette & Mitch,
Neil called me last night and said that he worked
out a solution with Colette. He will give us another
opinion that recommends not reporting the funeral
expenses to the CAFR because there was no
criminal activity involved. He does still stand by his
87
KIL_PSU_ 003531
opinion that it was outside the scope of the law and
should be disclosed to the CPA Auditors. Laura & I
will sign the CAFR this moming and get it to DAS.
While I am on vacation, Gary, Laura, Ann & Betty
can draft a formal process for these types of
activities in the future. It should dovetail nicely with
the interagency agreement and create a system that
is transparent and easily justified. We can review
the draft at our next briefing with you.
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a description of the OCE sponsorship
during Corrections Employees Week. I really liked
the way that we did it this year because of the
personal interaction between DOC & OCE staff.
You will also find an accounting of expenses that
have been booked to Sales & Marketing relating to
DOC for FYE '12. In answer to your questions
relating to "reportable" or "immaterial" I have to
88
KIL_PSU_ 003532
say that I don't know. The reason that this has come
up is because of the legal opinion regarding the
HelTon funeral which ultimately was triggered from
the Business Practice e-mail in January and the need
to comply with our annual audit.
It is interesting if you look at the dates. You will
notice that the activity pretty much stopped (except
for corrections week) once the Inter Agency
Agreement was put into place. However, as we
talked about yesterday, we need to figure this out in
a way that benefits & builds the relationship.
I spoke to Neil earlier in the day about the CAFR
and the additional infOlTIlation that I supplied him.
He was going to call you immediately afterwards. I
hope that you connected. Perhaps we can discuss
tomorrow.
Thanks,
Rob

Rob,
89
KIL_PSU_ 003533
Congratulations on the wedding. Sorry you had to
be here this week when you should have been
off. Please enjoy the two weeks.
Colette and I continued our conversation regarding
the CAFR report and we would like to get some
additional information from you (or Laura).
Would you please provide us with the amount of
OCE funds obligated during Corrections Employee
Week across the agency and what those funds were
actually spent on (candy, soda, hotdogs). Then, we
would be interested in what the Administration of
OCE sees as the justification for those
expenditures. Based on our conversation yesterday,
you indicated it was a sales and marketing
expense. I get that and we completely agree. What
we need is for you to articulate the sales and
marketing justification. As we continue to work
through the decision on the CAFR, we would like to
do a side-by-side comparison of our perspective on
the Herron expense and your justification on the
Corrections Employee Week expense.
Finally, are there any other examples you can think
of during the past year at OCE that you would
consider expenditures outside the constitutional or
statutory language parameters? At what point
(dollar amount, number of incidents) does the OCE
administration consider these expenditures either as
"reportable" or as immaterial with regard to the
CAFR report expectation?
Sorry for the additional work. We just want to
make sure we are being supportive and that we take
everything into consideration as we move towards a
decision. Thanks for the conversation yesterday
and please don't hesitate to call or write if you have
any questions.
Mitch

Subject: RE: CAFR Question
Thanks Rob.
On point # 1: I would add that not unlike
expenditures made during Corrections Employee
Week, this expenditure is a way to market OCE by
supporting a primary business pminer during a very
difficult and tragic time.
On point #2: I don't believe the question is did the
expense "exceed the constitutional and statutory
authority of OCE," but rather did the expenditure
fall within constitutional or statutory parameters. I
think there continues to be some level of
disagreement on the nexus between the expenditure
and the connection to a primary business
partner. And although connected, the first point
does differ a bit from the decision needing to made
as to if the expenditure should be repOlied to the
CAFR or if the expenditure is immaterial.
On point #3: Dealing with a mid-level manager
(especially one that handles such things for OCE)
would not be an unusual action (it happened many
times before and has occurred since). I am not sure
of the timing of things, but it does appear Betty
notified you via email on 11/30111 of what was
requested. Also, I do recall very clearly asking
Betty during a phone call with her to have you call
me if there were any concerns on you part when the
request was made to have OCE support the Herron
91
KIL_PSU_ 003535
family. Given that, I think we may disagree a bit on
the
notification/proper engagement points you are
making.
All that aside, we'll get this resolved. I do
apologize if I offended you in any way today, that
was not my intent. We simply view things
differently based on our own backgrounds. That
does not make either of us a "weak" leader, and that
was not what I was categorizing you as. It just
points out that we come from different
perspectives. OCE has accomplished some
tremendous things under your leadership and I have
nothing but the upmost respect for you.
It might be time for you and I to have lunch. We
(you and I and
DOC/OCE) have been making some great progress
and I don't want us to lose momentum. Talk soon.

Subject: RE: CAFR Question
Good Morning Mitch,
I assume that you are asking for emails related to
the funeral expenditure at this point. Please keep in
mind that a formal audit or review of the expenses
has not been done. If you recall, I recommended
that in January & February.
So in response to your request, we assembled the
attached emails and financials related to the funeral.
We do have everything in our systems (Fiscal, HR,
Contracts, IS) if need be. In crafting the CAFR
response I recommend that we review at least the
following:
1. Why did OCE/DOC do it? Obviously this was
done to take care of the Herron family and assist the
community. That is, there was no personal gain for
anyone.
2. Did the expenses exceed the constitutional and
statutory authority of OCE? Obviously this is the
most important point as it triggers the reporting
requirements. Both Neil and I think that it was. If
you feel differently then I recommend another DOJ
opinion specific to this situation.
3. How were the expenses obligated? The Director's
office dealt directly with Betty Bernt. No OCE
executives were notified until after the funds were
obligated. I think that Gary, Laura & I wish that we
could say something differently but we can't. This is
important because it will help determine how we
craft the message.

Those ideas are in there to some extent, though not as well articulated.
Have a good flight -- thanks!

I really don't have enough time for an in depth read of the report - perhaps on the 10 hour flight tomorrow.
You may want to think about pointing out the differences between the private sector-like functions of OCE
compared to the mainstream government structure of DOC as driving differences in priorities and management
strategies; free market maneuvering space verses regular predictable institution management. This is not only
true, but explains the contradictions facing the Director rather than pinning it on that specific individual.

HI Laura,
Please find the revised Phase II report attached. I think I captured everything that you and Phil discussed, as
well as the corrections you sent to me. Let me know if I missed anything or if there are other areas needing
reVISiOns.
Thanks,

Jordan and the Governor's office may want to get on top of this rather than reacting to events. Rationally Collet
would have followed your advice and be driving what appears to be inevitable. If this is going to become
public, audited or the subject of a legislative hearing you have to decide what to do and when to do it.

Mary Botkin of AFSCME has been telling legislators that oce is a slush fund and needs to be
audited by SOS. I would bet that Mitch's wonderful email has spread by this point. I will be
meeting with ken in September and following up with the legislators (whitsett & hicks?). We'll
have to see if it gets traction with SOS. I think that Colette may regret not doing the business

Hi Everyone -
We have exciting news to share with you. Director Collette Peters has appointed the OCE
Administrator as a full time member of the DOC Policy Group. This will help shape future
opportunities, foster collaborative relationships, and coordinate mutual efforts that lead to reducing
recidivism for the State of Oregon.
114
KIL_PSU_ 003558
Office space at the DOC headquarters (Dome Building) on Center Street has been allotted to give
OCE more accessibility to the DOC division administrators. Rob, Laura, Gary, Kevin, and Betty will
be moving to the Dome Building on October 1, 2012. This move gives us the opportunity to
strengthen our shared common mission of public safety by reducing the risk of future criminal
behavior through increased inmate participation in our OCE businesses and training programs.
The five of us will always be accessible to you through our continued in-person visits, e-mails, and
phone calls. The OCE Admin office will continue to serve as the hub for central support and
coordination. The OCE Sales staff will be consolidated with the Fis.cal, Information Systems,
Contracts and HR-Payroll-Safety units.
More information will be coming as we get settled in October. As always, we truly appreciate the
work, dedication, and effort you contribute to making OCE a great success.
Best regards,
Rob, Laura & Gary

Attached are a Recap and the supporting spreadsheets for the internal fiscal review you requested. We have listed all the
discounts, promotions and expenditures for and/or on behalf of DOC since 2002.
Also included are the personnel costs and laundry surcharge information. Most of these expenditures and discounts were
requested by DOC Executives or the Director?s office.
A more thorough, detailed audit of these business practices, may find additional expenditures.
Please let me know if you need more information at this time.

Rob -- Thanks.
IF we decide to end this engagement with a recommendation that includes OCE independent oversight -- which
would obviously a "WTF" moment in this long-standing drama! -- then the ability to reference these kinds of
patterns (and also recommend an additional audit) would make things even more interesting!
Hang in there; I'm in China, back October 8th. Hope you and Marcus have a good meeting on Friday

An even more precise question, than "Questionable" expenditures that seem to be at odds with the legislative
language that set up OCE as a semi-independent entity to operate on "business principles" (or whatever the

And/Or, as the ultimate (and only) client here -- indeed, some may well ask why you spent another $150K on a
"PSU study," especially after spending $300K earlier this decade! - insist that we include a recommendation for
such an audit in the very final version of our report.. ..

Good question. That's exactly why I wanted and audit. A good auditor could confirm
commingling fund and ethical issues. It also depends on whether you look at it from a micro or
macro perspective. At the micro level you can go through it line by line and try to explain things.
At the macro level it looks like a slush fund. I think either approach would be difficult to
explain.

Is it fair to say, then, that there have been $5M in illegal expenditures over the

Attached are a Recap and the supporting spreadsheets for the internal
fiscal review you requested. We have listed all the discounts,
promotions and expenditures for and/or on behalf of DOC since 2002.
Also included are the personnel costs and laundry surcharge information.
Most of these expenditures and discounts were requested by DOC
Executives or the office.
A more thorough, detailed audit of these business practices, may find
additional expenditures.
Please let me know if you need more information at this time.

IF we decide to end this engagement with a recommendation that includes OCE independent

ability to reference these kinds of pattems (and also recommend an additional audit) would make
things even more interesting!

I thought that you guys may find this interesting. This audit is amusing when you consider what Mr. Morrow
recently told us about DOC's new position on measure 17. If you recall, Mitch had us edit the measure 17
language heavily in the phase 2 report as they no longer have established goals and criteria regarding the inmate

Hi Rob,
My name is Adrianne and I work for DOC Internal Audit. I just left you
a voicemail, but thought I would follow up with an email as well.
Colette and I met today and talked about a report that I issued earlier
this year on Inmate Work Opportunities. She asked that I share the
report with you and the rest of the group working with PSU on your
efforts to provide more, meaningful, jobs for inmates. Can you share
with me who the rest of the group is? I would be happy to meet with you
and the group about my work on the audit if you are interested.
The goal of the audit was to detern1ine how DOC manages the inmate
population with regards to work 0ppOliunities. We recOlmnended ways DOC
could improve work 0ppOliunities by better aligning the PRAS system;
improving consistency in processes; offering more certification
opportunities; and by improving and documenting communication and
valuable infonnation regarding imnate past work history infonnation,
interests and cataloguing jobs available.
I have attached the report for your review, if you have not already seen
it.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I am out next week on
vacation, returning on Monday, July 9th. I am available anytime after
that. I look forward to hearing from you!

KIL_PSU_ 003581
Laura & I have taken the attached spreadsheet and put together an Internal Business Practice Review that includes
supporting documentation (accounting records, emails, & contracts). It is formatted annually and includes notable
expenditures and hiring. It also documents the Director?s Office responses to these issues since January. I believe that
the document is 16 chapters and is about 5 inches thick. Prior to the completion of Phase 3 of the PSU project I would like
to meet with both of you to get advice on what is the best approach to dealing with this issue beyond the DOC Director?s
Office.
Thanks,
Rob

Subject: RE: OCEjPSU Contract
Good Morning Phil & Marcus,
I have forwarded the following email chain started by Mitch Morrow that describes the original management of this project.
If I am reading this correctly it clearly outlines DOC's involvement and includes the appointment of the DOC Deputy
Director as the "Executive Sponsor". In our meeting with Mitch Morrow and his executive staff on October 2nd, he stated
that DOC was not directly involved in this project and were simply advisors. Further, he stated that this was a project
between PSU and OCE and that I was the project manager. Since I am now the "Executive Sponsor", I would like to
rescind all edits to both Phase 1 and Phase 2 reports as I do not agree with the editing of certain languages,
particularly language regarding increased oversight and financial controls. I feel that certain legal and structural changes
must occur prior to OCE moving into new service arenas. Obviously this disrupts the previous focus and time line of the
144
KIL_PSU_ 003588
project so I recommend that we meet to discuss once Phil returns. I would also appreciate this being kept confidential until
it is an appropriate time to bring the new direction forward.
Thanks,
Rob Killgore

Subject: Re: OCE/PSU Contract
Mitch,
As agreed at our meeting with Colette and Phil on the 5th of March, thanks for getting back to us with
recommendations for next steps. We especially appreciate your efforts in identifying a steering committee for
the project from both DOC and OCE to assist us in managing (or what we call "co-producing") the contract
until completion.
Let me bring you up to date on actions our contract team has taken since the 5th, and layout some specific
suggestions for ensuring that the our first meeting with the steering committee is well organized and highly
productive. I am only copying this to Rob since your message singles him out to work with us in making
arrangements for the meeting, and also to Shannon (our project manager). Here is the brief update:
1. Following the meeting, I prepared a set of "Meeting Highlights" (see attached) and shared them with our
intemal CPS project team in a meeting that we held today. These are for our intemal team records. Please send
along any revisions or modifications that you deem required. We planned the meeting last week to bring the
team up to date, and discuss implications for moving forward.
2. Since I received your e-mail right before our meeting today at noon, I also shared the contents of your e-mail
with the team. We are in agreement with the focus of the first meeting being on the revised business case and
project scope. And all of the team agreed that we need a clear problem/oppOliunity statement along with other
items outlined in your mcmo. To be fully prepared for the steering committee meeting, our team needs to do
additional reading and intemal preparation. This will require some "fmiher action" on our part, including
working out the agenda, materials and facilitation process for the meeting. It would be best, based on my
previous experience, for Shannon and I to meet with you and Rob prior to the kick-off meeting (with the full
steering committee and our team) to ensure we are all on the same page with the agenda and facilitation
process. Do you have time this Weds. or Thursday for an initial meeting with our core planning team?
145
KIL_PSU_ 003589
3. One complicating matter -- as a result of the delayed kick-off ofthe project -- is that we will be unable to do
the meeting with the steering committee until early in April. I have a long planned business trip abroad from
the 16th to the 30th of March that I must take. So it would be valuable to have a pre-planning session for the
April kick-off prior to the 16th. Is it possible to squeeze a meeting in prior to my departure on the 16th?
4. There is also one other issue with the contact that I need to mention. During the meeting this morning here,
our contracts/budget officer pointed out that our first "contractual deliverable" along with an initial request for
payment is due on the 31st of March. We have obviously incurred some start-up costs since the contract with
signed, but will not be able to finish the Phase 1 deliverable by the 31 st of March -- given our decisions to shift
the start-up timing and scope. So we need to decide how to deal with that, and we need to get a modification of
that date (and others I suppose) in writing.
Those are my key suggestions for now. Our team remains excited about this opportunity.

As a follow-up to our meeting last week, I wanted to provide a recommendation for next steps. Director
Peters and I would like to set up a steering committee, that is representative of both DOC and aCE, to assist
with defining a business case and project scope as it relates to the contract between aCE and PSU, and to
m ~ g e the contract until completion. Suggested DOC/aCE Steering Committee members will include Rob
Killgore, Laura Osborne and Gary Kilmer from aCE administration and Mike Gower (Assistant Director), Chane
Griggs (Assistant Director) and Ginger Martin (Assistant Director) from the DOC executive team. My role will
be as the Executive Sponsor. I would like to set up a meeting between PSU staff, steering committee
members and myself prior to any further action occurring. Along with building a business case and defining a
project scope at our first meeting, I think it would be important to address the following issues as well:
Draft a clear problem/opportunity statement
Write a goal statement - a concise, measurable outcome to be accomplished
Develop a list of critical stakeholders
Build a communication plan to get the contract off on the right footing
Establish clarity around a reporting matrix (how often, who with, format, delivery mechanism, level of
detail)
Build a contact list
Determine product deliverable dates
There may be more issues (ownership of the final product, confidentiality), but this should get us started.
will ask Rob to make arrangements for our first meeting. I look forward to the conversation/planning.

Hi Phil,
I was a bit slow this morning as it has been a long week. Just a thought, what if the ocrs model was structured as
a specialized institute or division under the community college network? A lot of upside on both the
administrative and political fronts. Some obvious downsides. Community colleges are doing the institution
model now with both doc and oya but they are not good at it and recent audits are showing that. A specialized
division that is entrepreneurial based and semi-autonomous could change that. Just a thought ....

Rob -- Worth thinking about, since it would elevate things out of the corrections system entirely. But you're
right about efficiency; you'd want to ensure they're doing things in a business like way, and not sure there's that
kind of "culture" in that particular world. So details would matter a lot.

This is quite interesting -- a "snapshot" (not without its biases, arguably) of the situation when there were about
9,000 inmates in the DOC system. There are now closer to 14,000 of course. (Jody, Shamlon, I've attached the
report for you to see also).
It's well written, and quite informative I especially found some of the "score keeping" discussion -- e.g, pp 6-8 -
- to be interesting, and the notes and appendix are also quite interesting
See for example, Appendix 6 -- suggesting that of the 7,555 "eligible" DOC inmates for Measure 17 compliance
(after rendering "ineligible about 1954 of9511 total) -- fully 81 % (6,140 inmates) are 40+ hours/week in "work
or program activity. II
Pretty impressive, right?
Appendix 7 provides more detail-- fully 5,301 (out of 7,649 eligible inmates; this is as of 1/8/2000) are
seemingly "compliant" because they're in something called "Doe Support. II (Just what this is is described on
pages 12-13 -- and somewhat II fuzzily' if you ask me; are ALL these people racking up enough hours to be
llfully compliant" at the 40+ hour standard (up to 20 .ofwhich can be education)??
oeE accounted for about 770 total-- so good job, Rob and Laura, since 2000 on getting those numbers up!
I must say, though, that much of this report has a 'self justifying' feel to it -- Mannix touting the great "success"
ofthis initiative, the DOC only happy to provide reams of data that seem to suppOli the case. But really, 81 % of
the eligible inmates are involved at least 40 hours a week in II compliance II activity -- that is, AT LEAST 20
hours/wk of "work" and up to 20 hours/wk of education/rehab work etc?
Recall that Kevin was gearing up a gubematorial campaign in 2000; this was arguably a talking point. The DOC
of course had little/no interest in saying, "Well, if you really strictly interpreted the constitutional language, our
compliance rate is a lot lower than 81 %! II
152
KIL_PSU_ 003596
What also happened between 2000 and 2012, of course, was several recessions, massive budget cuts, and a
DOC population ballooning to 14,000+. Was there much appetite, even on the R side of the aisle, to say, "No,
we have to spend even more money on DOC -- and cut schools, health care, etc even further -- to ensure we're
truly in compliance with the Oregon Constitution on these numbers!"
So here's a theory/premise that is worth testing as we wrap up this work. Perhaps a major reason for DOC
heartburn about this, is that they do know that 1) OCE is NOT ultimately responsible for M 17 compliance
(they're just one strategy, of many, and though arguably the "most sophisticated" in terms of approaches not
expected to be the "primary method"; and that 2) they also know that ANY outside look of real rigor could well
reveal that the "score keeping" on M17 compliance is seriously flawed (perhaps laughably so). But who wants
to deal with the consequences of THAT, perhaps even including Mannix?
There's also value with this in providing a benchmark vs. both 2000 number and (supposedly) pre 1994
numbers. (Though consider the author, too ... )
intersting stuff; Rob, thanks!

Good Afternoon,
I spoke with Phil Keisling about the PSU contract and he understands the situation. First of all, Mike will not work on this
project with PSU. Both Mike & Phil are in agreement on this. We have put the project on hold until you are able to meet
with him in early March. He understands that we will most likely revise the scope of the project and some of its language
but he hopes that we will keep it in place. I informed him that both of you are very interested in evolving the organization
but you would like some time to work through how and what we do. He is willing to meet earlier but I told him that you are
both quite busy with the legislative session and dealing with the budget dilemma. Phil reinforced that they are open as to
how this project is approached. Please call if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Rob

The last three are complete. After your conversation with Phil we can decide how we want the contract revised (if we
don?t chose to cancel it, they are prepared for that option as well). Gary, Laura & I are working on the first three. The
MOU will include more than the S&M as it is a good opportunity to fill in other nebulous areas missed in statute (i.e. rent,
utilities, sharing of resources?). We already have policies on the second two but I will pull them for revision.
Thanks,

Rob,
I want to make sure we are on the same page for deliverables in preparation for our meeting with Colette mid-
month. Here is what I am recalling:
A draft MOU outlining how OCE/DOC will work collaboratively and share costs/manage sales and marketing expenses
A draft OCE hiring protocol outline/policy
A draft policy outlining an OCE Advisory Council recruitment/review/appointments process
Conversations with PSU about ownership of the final product of the contract
Conversations with PSU about bolstering the confidentiality clause in the contract
Conversations with PSU regarding draft reviews prior to any final report being generated - during each Phase
Please let me know if I missed anything.

I'd be happy to advise you on an informal, volunteer, basis if the project goes forward. Rob suggested that Brett
Wilcox join the advisory committee and the Director vetoed the idea so I'm feeling in good company.
I'd love to work on a project if a good fit arises, I like Marcus.
When you get a minute would you remind me when the next meeting of the round table (don't remember what

Gustafson doesn't know the half of it! It will be interesting to see if Colette adopts max's operational policies.
So far she seems to be going in that direction with not wanting an independent oce audit. I think she is getting
bad advice as in about a year she will own all of max's poor decisions.

The question that needs to be asked is "how much money has the state had to pay inmates for having
inappropriate relations with staff over the last 8 years". Coffee creek has been the haven for this but it occurs all
over the department. Did I mention that Mitch's brother in law is the Assistant Superintendent at coffee creek?
Oh well, I guess that I don't belong in this "family" anymore. Hurry up and find out about OY A. ..

Didn't know if you read the statesman. Good luck with the governor this morning. Remember
that if they would focus on changing their operating model and go after overhead they shouldn't
have to close prisons. I told Curtis that. The key is changing the operating model and
streamlining leadership.

PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL
KIL_PSU_ 003617
Rob,
You asked for my advice regarding whether or not it would be "legally feasible for OCE to fund activities that are not
directly related to prison work or training programs", in the context of OCE's authority under Or Const. Article 1 Sec. 41
and the applicable OCE statutes. I have now completed my initial review and concluded that OCE should not fund
activities that are not directly related to prison work or training programs. My analysis is summarized below:
As you know, Article 1, Sec,. 41 requires that inmates be "* * * actively engaged full time in work or on-the-job
training. The work or on-the-job training programs shall be established and overseen by the corrections director * *
*". The director has the authority to delegate this function to others, which was accomplished by the creation of OCE (see
ORS 421.305 and 421.344). Most importantly for this discussion, subsection 9 of Sec 41 also mandates that, "* * * All
income generated from prison work programs shall be kept separate from general fund accounts and shall only be used
for implementing, maintaining and developing prison work programs. * * *" (emphasis added).
Without getting into too much detail, as you also know, ORS 421.305 to 367 further describes OCE's broad authority to
establish prison work programs including the authority to install, equip and operate machines and plants, enter into
contracts or agreements that accomplish the marketing of inmate goods and services, etc. However, OCE's authority is
subject to the
authority granted to the Corrections Director by Sec. 41 (ORS 421.354). And, more specifically, ORS 421.359 states
that,
" * * * all income and revenue generated or received by Oregon Corrections Enterprises be used for the purposes
of discharging the functions and duties prescribed by Section 41.* * *"(emphasis added).
From the text of the letter you provided, it appears that OCE (via DOC) is being asked to fund administrative costs for the
Children of Incarcerated Parents (CIP) project. While support of such a program conceivably may be within ODOC's
broad statutory authority, it does not appear to be within OCE's constitutional or statutory authority as it does not appear
to relate to
the implementation, maintenance, or development of prison work programs. In fact, if my understanding of the CIP
program is correct, it does not even work directly with inmates, but rather with the children of inmates to help them better
understand and cope with the complexities of the criminal justice system. Unless my understanding is incorrect and it can
be demonstrated that funding this project is somehow directly related to the implementation, maintenance or development
of a prison work program, I would advise OCE to decline the funding request. OCE's expenditure of funds for this purpose
appears to be inconsistent with OCE's (and indirectly, DOC's) constitutional and statutory authority. As such, OCE's
expenditure of funds
could raise serious questions in the event of an audit, as well as potential personal liability by OCE officials responsible for
authorizing the expenditure. .
Feel free to let me know if you have additional questions or would like to discuss this further.

You're talking about the same person who doesn't see a need for an audit because everything that M & M did
seems acceptable to her and doesn't want a report that makes her do the right thing if it differs from her personal
desires. I guess that she likes carrying other people's baggage.

That all seems like spot on, excellent advice.
I did notice the flap with the Gov's office (and wonder, to what extent, Mitch might have played in that!). But in
the meantime, the "informed innocence" posture seems exactly right.
Yes, I think it would be good to get together here, and maybe include Marcus. He's out the week of February
27th, but 11 am on 2/22 might work. Work for you?

The relationships between and among the players in OYA, DOC andOCE are fraught with suspicion and
paranoia. I'd strongly advise that you not try to engage in any communication outside of meeting with the
Director and her Assistant. That kind of communication, no matter how well intended, will not be a secret and
will be interpreted as hostile and threatening. I'd go with informed innocence.
The Director put her foot in it, first thing, by dealing directly with the Legislature on budget reductions, issuing
a cut proposal, and got publicly contradicted by the Governor's office so those nerve endings are frayed.
Continuation with the contract with PSU, for the Director and Assistant, is a decision about the threat the review
presents balanced against what is implied by killing the review - - the merits of the review; good management
information, improved operations and insulation against a more hostile review at the hands of the SOS don't
enter into their "thinking".
As with other organizations that have serious observable problems, DOC has bigger unobserved problems that
have the potential to blow up.
The Directors best shot to tum the page is to ask for an aggressive change of Director audit and ask PSU for a
hard look at OCE. Failing that she'll own what happens next.
I'd be happy to drop by for coffee.

Marcus and I are scheduled to meet with Colette and Mitch in Salem at 9 am, Monday, March 5th. They called
back pretty quickly (last week) to set this up.
In the meantime, any advise on other possible efforts to move things forward? I have thought about trying to
visit, off site, with Collette 1 x 1 before the big meeting, or calling Fariborz or Jeanne at OYA and getting their
advice (and maybe they could send a message to Collette as to how honorably and competently we'd approach
this effort). But all these carry some risks, and if you think there's a decent likelihood that this will simply be a
"re set expectations, but proceed" session on March 5, probably better to just wait.
Thoughts?

I did notice the flap with the Gov's office (and wonder, to what extent, Mitch might have played in that!). But in
the meantime, the "informed innocence" posture seems exactly right.
Yes, I think it would be good to get together here, and maybe include Marcus. He's out the week of February
27th, but 11 am on 2/22 might work. Work for you?

The relationships between and among the players in OYA, DOC and OCE are fraught with suspicion and
paranoia. I'd strongly advise that you 'not try to engage in any cOlllinunication outside of meeting with the
Director and her Assistant. That kind of communication, no matter how well intended, will not be a secret and
will be interpreted as hostile and threatening. I'd go with infornled innocence.
The Director put her foot in it, first thing, by dealing directly with the Legislature on budget reductions, issuing
a cut proposal, and got publicly contradicted by the Governor's office so those nerve endings are frayed.

Continuation with the contract with PSU, for the Director and Assistant, is a decision about the threat the review
presents balanced against what is implied by killing the review - - the merits of the review; good management
information, improved operations and insulation against a more hostile review at the hands of the SOS don't
enter into their "thinking".
As with other organizations that have serious observable problems, DOC has bigger unobserved problems that
have the potential to blow up.
The Directors best shot to turn the page is to ask for an aggressive change of Director audit and ask PSU for a
hard look at OCE. Failing that she'll own what happens next.
I'd be happy to drop by for coffee.

Marcus and I are scheduled to meet with Colette and Mitch in Salem at 9 am, Monday, March 5th. They called
back pretty quickly (last week) to set this up.
In the meantime, any advise on other possible efforts to move things forward? I have thought about trying to
visit, off site, with Collette 1 x 1 before the big meeting, or calling Fariborz or Jeanne at OVA and getting their
advice (and maybe they could send a message to Collette as to how honorably and competently we'd approach
tIllS effort). But all these carry some risks, and if you think there's a decent likelihood that this will simply be a
"re set expectations, but proceed" session on March 5, probably better to just wait.
Thoughts?

Mike -- I'm heartened by all of that. Interesting that the advice was 2005, and it's now being "revived". And how
Max gets thrown under the bus -- but Mitch stays unscathed! -- will be an interesting dynamic to watch.
I'll give Rob a call -- Marcus, perhaps you and I can try to chat with him some time tomOlTow, before you leave

Phil and Marcus,
Attached is a copy of AG advice that Rob got and then sent to Max in 2005.
I talked with Rob after his meeting with Colette and Mitch:
Colette is taking the attached advice seriously
They now like Rob, a lot
Max did improper things with OCE funds (that noise is Max going under the bus)
No discussion ofPSU contract at the meeting. Rob is still committed to doing the review.
I didn't mention our meeting this morning but said I'd suggest to you that you call Rob in advance of the DOC
meeting.
Enjoyed our discussion this morning.

Subject: Advice re: CIP Funding Request
PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL
Rob,
You asked for my advice regarding whether or not it would be "legally feasible for OCE to fund activities that are not
directly related to prison work or training programs", in the context of OCE's authority under Or Const. Article 1 Sec. 41
and the applicable OCE statutes. I have now completed my initial review and concluded that OCE should not fund
activities that are not directly related to prison work or training programs. My analysis is summarized below:
As you know, Article 1, Sec,. 41 requires that inmates be "* * * actively engaged full time in work or on-the-job
training. The work or on-the-job training programs shall be established and overseen by the corrections director * *
*". The director has the authority to delegate this function to others, which was accomplished by the creation of OCE (see
ORS 421.305 and 421.344). Most importantly for this discussion, subsection 9 of Sec 41 also mandates that, "* * * All
income generated from prison work programs shall be kept separate from general fund accounts and shall only be used
for implementing, maintaining and developing prison work programs. * * *" (emphasis added).
Without getting into too much detail, as you also know, ORS 421.305 to 367 further describes OCE's broad authority to
establish prison work programs including the authority to install, equip and operate machines and plants, enter into
contracts or agreements that accomplish the marketing of inmate goods and services, etc. However, OCE's authority is
subject to the
authority granted to the Corrections Director by Sec. 41 (ORS 421.354). And, more specifically, ORS 421.359 states
that,
" * * * all income and revenue generated or received by Oregon Corrections Enterprises be used for the purposes
of discharging the functions and duties prescribed by Section 41. * * *"(emphasis added).
From the text of the letter you provided, it appears that OCE (via DOC) is being asked to fund administrative costs for the
Children of Incarcerated Parents (CIP) project. While support of such a program conceivably may be within ODOC's
broad statutory authority, it does not appear to be within OCE's constitutional or statutory authority as it does not appear
to relate to
the implementation, maintenance, or development of prison work programs. In fact, if my understanding of the CIP
program is correct, it does not even work directly with inmates, but rather with the children of inmates to help them better
understand and cope with the complexities of the criminal justice system. Unless my understanding is incorrect and it can
be demonstrated that funding this project is somehow directly related to the implementation, maintenance or development
of a prison work program, I would advise OCE to decline the funding request. OCE's expenditure of funds for this purpose
appears to be inconsistent with OCE's (and indirectly, DOC's) constitutional and statutory authority. As such, OCE's
expenditure of funds
could raise serious questions in the event of an audit, as well as potential personal liability by OCE officials responsible for
authorizing the expenditure.

Mourners remember slain eastern Oregon prison guard
Buddy Herron as la hero to us all'
Published: Monday, December 05,2011,6:45 PM Updated: Tuesday, December 06,2011,1:13 PM
By Richard Cockle, The Oregonian The Oregonian
PENDLETON - The selflessness of an eastern Oregon correctional officer and volunteer firefighter who
was killed by someone he tried to befriend should inspire everyone who knew him to live a better life,
Oregon Corrections Chief Max Williams said here Monday.
Buddy Ray Herron, 42, of the tiny Umatilla County farming town of Helix, was driving to his midnight-
to-8 a.m. job at the medium-security Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution in Pendleton Nov. 28
when he stopped to help what he thought was a stranded motorist.
Pendleton police responded to a 9-1-1 call a short time later and found Herron sprawled along Oregon
11 with multiple stab wounds. He was pronounced dead at St. Anthony Hospital in Pendleton.
Twenty-two-year-old Joshua Charles Weeks, a 280-pound drifter and admitted methamphetamine
user with a long criminal history, was arrested a short time later near Hermiston after a police chase.
He confessed to killing Herron and is in the Umatilla County Correctional Facility, charged with murder.

The Oregonian's continuing coverage of the stabbing death of corrections officer Buddy
Herron in eastern Oregon.
Monday's memorial service at the Vert Auditorium was attended by roughly 750 mourners, including
hundreds of somber correctional officers, firefighters, paramedics, law enforcement officers and public
safety workers from around the Northwest.
22
KIL_PSU_ 003646
"Words alone cannot express our feelings of grief and loss," Williams told them, describing Herron as
someone who lived with a deep sense of duty toward others. He treated everyone he met as though
they were his neighbors, said Williams.
Addressing Herron's three sons and a daughter, ages 11 to 20, Williams advised them: "Honor him by
following his example of hard work, duty and compassion."
Herron was an Arizona correctional officer for 12 years before accepting a job with the Eastern Oregon
Correctional Institution four years ago, said Richard McGraw, an EOCI assistant superintendent of
security.
McGraw remembered marveling, "How can he be so wide awake at 2 a.m.?" after an early morning
prison meeting with Herron a month ago. "Buddy was a hero to us all," he said. "He will not be
forgotten."
Herron was well known in Helix, population 184, for being volunteer with the Helix Rural Fire
Protection District, a rural neighborhood watch member, and someone who tried always to be a Good
Samaritan.
Jeff Wood, a bishop with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-dav
Saints' assembly in Pendleton that Herron attended, lamented that
the homicide might prompt some who knew Herron to back away
from lending a helping hand to those in need.
"I would plead with you, don't diminish your service to others," said
Wood.
"Buddy represented it all: honor, courage, bravery and sacrifice," said Helix Fire Chief Matt Benedict.
The service often resembled a military funeral, down to Herron's firefighter's coat and helmet placed
reverentially near his flag-draped casket, and the uniformed Department of Corrections Honor Guard
23
KIL_PSU_ 003647
that presented the colors. Other touches included an Oregon Fire Service Honor Guard conducting a
bell-ringing ceremony to signify the end of duty and a return to quarters for Herron, and a separate
Oregon Interagency Honor Guard that handled retrieval of the colors.
A rifle salute was fired outside the auditorium, and Herron's helmet, a fireman's whistle and three
flags were formally presented to his wife, Kimberly. A 10-block procession of fire trucks, police and
rescue vehicles and mourners accompanied the casket to the 132-year-old Helix Cemetery in the
rolling wheat country north of Pendleton after the service.
Andrea Neistadt, spokeswoman for the prison, said the true test for Pendleton, Helix and the
correctional system will be whether Herron's wife and four children are forgotten in the months ahead.
But that won't happen, she said.
"We will be there for her," Neistadt said of Kimberly Herron and her children. "This is not over for us
or for the community."

Mourners remember slain eastern Oregon prison guard Buddy Herron
as 'a hero to us aU'

PENDLETON 7 The selflessness of an eastern Oregon correctional officer and volunteer firefighter who was killed by
someone he tried to befriend should inspire everyone who knew him to live a better life, Oregon Corrections Chief Max
Williams said here Monday.
Buddy Ray Herron, 42, of the tiny Umatilla County farming town of Helix, was driving to his midnight-to-8 a.m. job at
the medium-security Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution in Pendleton Nov. 28 when he stopped to help what he
thought was a stranded motorist.
Pendleton police responded to a 9-1-1 call a short time later and found Herron sprawled along Oregon 11 with
multiple stab wounds. He was pronounced dead at St. Anthony Hospital in Pendleton.
Twenty-two-year-old Joshua Charles Weeks, a 280-pound drifter and admitted methamphetamine user with a long
criminal history, was arrested a short time later near Hermiston after a police chase. He confessed to killing Herron
and is in the Umatilla County Correctional Facility, charged with murder.

The Oregonian?s continuing coverage of the stabbing death of corrections officer Buddy Herron in eastern
Oregon.
Monday's memorial service at the Vert Auditorium was attended by roughly 750 mourners, including hundreds of
somber correctional officers, firefighters, paramedics, law enforcement officers and public safety workers from around
the Northwest.
"Words alone cannot express our feelings of grief and loss," Williams told them, describing Herron as someone who
lived with a deep sense of duty toward others. He treated everyone he met as though they were his neighbors, said
Williams.
Addressing Herron's three sons and a daughter, ages 11 to 20, Williams advised them: "Honor him by following his
example of hard work, duty and compassion."
Herron was an Arizona correctional officer for 12 years before accepting a job with the Eastern Oregon Correctional
Institution four years ago, said Richard McGraw, an EOCI assistant superintendent of security.
McGraw remembered marveling, "How can he be so wide awake at 2 a.m.7" after an early morning prison meeting
2
KIL_PSU_ 003650
with Herron a month ago. "Buddy was a hero to us all," he said. "He will not be forgotten."
Herron was well known in Helix, population 184, for being volunteer with the Helix Rural Fire Protection District, a
rural neighborhood watch member, and someone who tried always to be a Good Samaritan.
Jeff Wood, a bishop with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints'
assembly in Pendleton that Herron attended, lamented that the homicide might
prompt some who knew Herron to back away from lending a helping hand to
those in need.
"I would plead with you, don't diminish your service to others," said Wood.
"Buddy represented it all: honor, courage, bravery and sacrifice," said Helix Fire Chief Matt Benedict.
The service often resembled a military funeral, down to Herron's firefighter's coat and helmet placed reverentially near
his flag-draped casket, and the uniformed Department of Corrections Honor Guard that presented the colors. Other
touches included an Oregon Fire Service Honor Guard conducting a bell-ringing ceremony to signify the end of duty
and a return to quarters for Herron, and a separate Oregon Interagency Honor Guard that handled retrieval of the
colors.
A rifle salute was fired outside the auditorium, and Herron's helmet, a fireman's whistle and three flags were formally
presented to his wife, Kimberly. A 10-block procession of fire trucks, police and rescue vehicles and mourners
accompanied the casket to the 132-year-old Helix Cemetery in the rolling wheat country north of Pendleton after the
service.
Andrea Neistadt, spokeswoman for the prison, said the true test for Pendleton, Helix and the correctional system will
be whether Herron's wife and four children are forgotten in the months ahead. But that won't happen, she said.
"We will be there for her," Neistadt said of Kimberly Herron and her children. "This is not over for us or for the
community." .

It kind of irritates me because other service providers such as the not for profits and community colleges do not
pay for any of that. In fact, DOC pays for them to be in the prisons.

Well, of course, space and utility costs to be paid by OCE should be costs in excess of

It might be interesting to see what contract supplemental guards needed by OCE would cost...

The article below outlines the cost of building and maintaining an unused prison in Oregon; I know
there are other states facing similar issues; can you let me know of any new, but never opened,
facilities in your state, please?
Thanks,
JOEL MILLMAN
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL.

Oregon's most modern prison sits empty, unused since it was finished three years ago.
Though the state borrowed $120 million to build the medium-security unit at Deer Ridge
Correctional Institution, it hasn't had the money to guard, feed and otherwise care for
inmates the prison was supposed to hold.
It still doesn't.
Oregon taxpayers over the next two years will put more money than ever into the state
prison system, but it won't be enough. And the need will only grow as the state braces to
add nearly 1,500 prisoners over the next four years.
The state Corrections Department is losing 223 positions. Programs to keep inmates from
returning to prison are being weakened. Staff training on topics ranging from gang
identification to mental health treatment is being reduced once again. The minimum-
security prison next to the Oregon State Penitentiary, closed last fall to save money, will
remain dark
And the prison in Madras, meant to house 1,228 inmates, will be
vacant another two years. The prison, built next to its minimum-
security sister, was commissioned when Oregon's economy was
booming but came online as state officials began slashing spending.
Rather than open the prison, state officials packed more inmates into existing prisons. Two
years ago, legislators spared the Corrections Department hundreds of new prisoners by
suspending Measure 57, designed to imprison more chronic thieves. The prison population
remained relatively flat.
But the prison system still has relentlessly chewed into the state's general fund, and its bite
will be even bigger for the 2011-13 budget, which took effect last week The $1.3 billion
appropriated for prisons will take nearly a dime out of every general fund dollar spent on
state government.
Every dollar spent
At first glance, the Corrections Department seemed to be a big winner over agencies that
saw their budgets slashed. Legislators added $116 million from the general fund. But that
was largely a bookkeeping change; legislators were stuck replacing federal money that they
used last time to pay prison bills, and that money is gone.
When the pencil work was done, the prison system ended up with an extra $3 million --
$125,000 a month. Prison officials need every dollar to cover increasing costs of salaries
and benefits for 4,500 employees, growing medical costs for 14,000 inmates, and other
expenses over which the agency has little control.
"This is as tight a budget as we've ever been given," said Max Williams, Corrections
Department director.
Worse, Williams and legislators have their eye on state forecasts showing the inmate
population growing in the next four years, putting fresh strain on taxpayers.
Legislators tweaked some sentencing laws to forestall the arrival of additional inmates.
They changed provisions of Measure 73 to put repeat drunken drivers in county jails
7
KIL_PSU_ 003655
instead of prison. They once again shortened prison sentences for those who violate parole
and probation conditions.
But more significant reforms went nowhere, such as once again suspending Measure 57
and trimming certain Measure 11 sentences. A plan to shift more convicts into less-costly
local jails also failed.
Shannon Wight, associate director of the Partnership for Safety and Justice, said the state
is spending ever more on prison cells while cutting programs that can prevent crime. She
cited reinstatement of "addiction-driven crimes" of Measure 57, which sets mandatory
minimum sentences for some repeat property offenders.
"We're not going to get at what's causing those people to commit crimes," Wight said.
More cuts to make
Doug Harcleroad, policy adviser at the Oregon Anti-Crime Alliance, said Measure 57
should come back to life but agreed that Williams faces challenges in maintaining prison
programs that ease inmates back into society.
"That's the place where we're going to be significantly hurting," said Harcleroad, a former
district attorney. If that happens, he said, Oregonians should expect increased recidivism.
Legislators balked at cutting too deeply into prison treatment programs, and gave Williams
an extra $1 million to try moving certain inmates into communities for the last few months
of their sentences.
Williams also won authority for the first time to assess inmates a fee to help pay for their
imprisonment. Details are in the works, but the move is more symbolic than lucrative.
Legislators ran out of money long before they ran out of prison services to fund, so they've
tasked Williams with cutting another $28 million out of his operations. Williams isn't
certain how he will do that, and he's hemmed in by circumstances.
He can't cram more inmates into fewer prisons without triggering legal challenges.
Overcrowding has led to court oversight, such as in California. In Oregon, unions have
stopped shifts of inmates to understaffed prisons, effectively arguing safety concerns.
And health care Williams is required to provide inmates will take nearly $200 million of his
budget, even though legislators stripped 72 jobs from his medical s,taff.
"We hope to not do great damage to anyone spot," Williams said. Still, "there are corners
being cut."
Officers at risk
Training is one corner, and that worries union officials. Corrections officers, once trained
at the state academy, now start the job with in-house training. Specialty training, such as
suicide prevention, is limited to certain workers.
As a result, employees aren't trained as well as they should be for a challenging job, said
Tim Woolery, corrections coordinator for Council 75 of the American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employees.
"Somebody's going to get hurt," said Woolery.
Williams said the agency expects a "very, very challenging and difficult" two years that
could get worse if the number of inmates showing up at the front gates starts to grow.
Williams can't post a "No Vacancy" sign.
State officials this week estimated he will have nearly 500 more inmates to care for by the
end of the current budget cycle and almost 1,500 by July 2015. Williams thinks that
increase will show up later, in the next budget cycle. A new forecast is due in October.
Harcleroad said sentencing reform is the only way to head off the surge in inmates.
"We're not making big advances in terms of correctional policy," Harcleroad said. "We're
going to have to write some big checks to open the rest of the beds and build the new prison
in Junction City or figure out how not to make that happen in a very conscious, careful
way."
8
KIL_PSU_ 003656
But with Measure 57 taking effect in January, Williams anticipates that by 2013 he will
need to reopen the closed Salem prison as a second women's institution and finally open
Deer Ridge medium-security prison.
Until then, the Corrections Department must cover the cost of maintaining that prison
without prisoners. The annual bill: $720,000.

Corrections Department incurs costs to keep it ready for use -- and
to repay the $120 million borrowed to build it. State officials now
expect the prison to come online in mid-2013.

Thanks. So her (and Mitch's idea) is that rather than OCE spending $150K to PSU to come up with
recommendations on how to make OCE a stronger organization, the two entities simply modify/update their
existing MOU and all will be sweetness and light?
And Rob's take on this? (not that he couldn't see it coming .... ).
I'm driving down to Colleen's event on Wednseday -- if you're going down and then coming back, want to go

JOHN A. K
Agency Directors,
As you are well aware, ongoing economic uncertainty has impacted state revenue
projections, necessitating a budget rebalance plan for the remainder of the biennium.
KIL_PSU_ 003662
On Friday, the Ways and Means Committee Co-Chairs released their proposed
budget. I do not expect the final budget to differ significantly, and I have attached a
memo from the Co-Chairs that outlines agency-specific budget revisions. I plan to sign
the budget when it reaches my desk.
First, I want to thank you for continuing to deliver the critical public services Oregonians
need and deserve in the most efficient, effective way possible under what I know are
difficult circumstances. I appreciate your deep involvement in the budget development
process and the spirit of collaboration and openness with which you have engaged in
identifying potential savings and enterprise initiatives.
The budget includes $28 million in unspecified personal services reductions across
General Fund/lottery Fund and Other Funds agencies. The expectation is that the
Executive Branch will come back to a meeting of the Emergency Board in May with a
specific plan, and I want to take a moment to describe my approach going forward.
The additional time afforded to address the budget situation is a positive and productive
step that will allow a more thorough review of options and a strategic plan to achieve
targeted savings. Immediately following the session, Michael Jordan and I will convene
the Enterprise leadership Team (El T) to begin the process. Your active participation is
critical in helping craft a product that balances the need for further reductions with the
effective delivery of public services. I am convinced we can achieve both goals.
In the longer term, I am confident we can develop a more sustainable and strategic
approach, and I appreciate your ongoing participation in two key initiatives -- the 10-
Year Plan for Oregon and Operation: Oregon.
Again, thank you for your leadership. I urge you to share this message with all staff.
John A. Kitzhaber, M.D.
Governor

Ex-Florida prison boss: Drunken orgies tainted

James McDonough, Florida's former prison boss, said he inherited a system run like the mafia.
Softball, drunken orgies and a prison system run like the mafia. That's what Florida's
former prison secretary says he inherited when he took over one of the nation's largest
prison systems two years ago.
In fact, on his first day on the job, James McDonough says he walked into his office --
the same one his predecessor used -- and there was crime scene tape preventing
anyone from entering.
"That was an indication we had a problem in the department," McDonough told CNN in
an exclusive interview before he stepped down last Thursday.
McDonough revealed a startling list of alleged abuses and crimes going on inside
Florida's prisons:
Top prison officials admitting to kickbacks;
Guards importing and selling steroids in an effort to give them an edge on the softball
field;
Taxpayer funds to pay for booze and women;
Guards who punished other guards who threatened to report them.
"Corruption had gone to an extreme," McDonough said, saying it all began at the top.
"They seemed to be drunk half the time and had orgies the other half, when they
weren't taking money and beating each other up." Watch a corrupted prison system
He added, "Women were treated like chattel in this department."
McDonough described a bizarre prison culture among those that ran the system -
- one that he says seemed obsessed with inter-department softball games and the
orgies after games.

KIL_PSU_ 003664
"I cannot explain how big an obsession softball had become," he said. "People
were promoted on the spot after a softball game at the drunken party to high
positions in the department because they were able to hit a softball out of the
park a couple times."
"The connection between the softball and the parties and the corruption and the
beatings was greatly intertwined."
The parties and orgies were often carried out at a waterfront ranch house built on prison
grounds for a former warden with taxpayer dollars, McDonough said. The house was
complete with a bar, pool table and hot tub. See photos of the "party house"
McDonough is a former Army colonel who commanded troops in Vietnam and Africa.
He served as Florida's drug czar before taking on the job as the head of Florida's prison
system, which oversees 90,000 inmates.
He left his post last Thursday as secretary of Florida's Department of Corrections
because, he says, he feels he has cleaned up the corruption. It's time, he said, "to turn
this over to law and order people that have made this their life's goal."
A Brooklyn, New York, native, McDonough says he witnessed the way the mafia worked
in his youth and it provided him a keen insight into how his prison predecessor, James
Crosby, operated.
"It reminded me of the petty mafia I saw on the streets of Brooklyn when I was growing
up in the late 1950s, early 1960s -- petty, small-minded, thugish, violent, dangerous,
outside the law, and completely intolerable for a society such as ours in the United
States of America," he said.
Crosby would later plead guilty to bribery charges in relation to kickbacks from a prison
vendor. He's now locked up in a federal prison. He refused CNN's request for an
interview for this report.
"He's serving time in a federal prison. I hope he reforms and gets out and prospers,"
McDonough said.
He added, "When you have a rotten guy at the top, or gal at the top, it can be very
invasive, and it's a cancer that needs to be excised."
And getting rid of this "cancer" is exactly what McDonough says he did. McDonough
fired 90 top prison officials -- wardens, supervisors, colonels and majors -- claiming they
were corrupt or, at the very least, not to be trusted. He demoted 280 others.
Criminal charges were filed against more than 40 others, and most were convicted. In
addition to the orgies and other misconduct outside the cell blocks, there were other
allegations of prisoners being harmed, McDonough said.
"In some of the pockets of corruption that we found, they [prisoners] were being
abused," he said.
4
KIL_PSU_ 003665
Among those arrested were seven officers accused of beating inmates, including five
accused of forcing a prisoner to drink toilet water. All have pleaded not guilty.
Tina Hayes, the director of the prison's department initiatives who has worked in the
prison system for 28 years, said the atmosphere before McDonough arrived was "a little
tense" with workers "always on edge."
She said employees who didn't attend softball games or play on the teams were
"isolated" and "pushed aside."
"I used to tell staff day in and day out: Keep your head high; do what's right; you know
what morally is right; you've got some ethics; don't bow down to it," Hayes told CNN.
McDonough, she said, brought "standards back into the department."
"People can speak out now without being afraid to say what they need to say."
McDonough says the majority of the prison system's 28,000 employees were honest,
hard-working people who weren't corrupt at all. But he says many of the top prison
officials weren't and he believes he has weeded out "an organized vein of corruption."
"They were like frat boys out of control."

Mike -- As I reflected more on this, too, I reached the same place about the likelihood of a "maybe" at our
March 5th meeting.
The question then is how best to respond to that situation, once the "maybe" is delivered. (They may well want
to "chat us up" for a while before getting to that, and as we've discussed, the best strategy is to have Marcus do
most of the talking about the substance of this).
Once the "definitive maybe" gets delivered, here's some of the things I've pondered about saying:
a) "Well, we assume you're speaking for Rob on this, since our contract is with OCE, not DOC."
b) "Can you share with us the basis on which you'll make a decision to proceed with the contract, and in what
time frame?
c) We've assembled the team, and even done some preliminary work; we'd sure appreciate a relatively quick
decision.
Perhaps none, or all, or some of these are wOlih saying. What I do NOT think would be productive is:
5
KIL_PSU_ 003666
d) Asking them to explain ( any further) WHY they're at "maybe." (The more our silence/lack of curiosity shows
on that question, I think the more unsettled they might get about what we know)
e) Sticking around in the meeting much longer. "Well, ifthat's the case, please let us know when/if you're ready
to go. We've assembled a great team, and we're very excited about the project and helping OCE move forward-
- but obviously, if Rob and you all aren't ready to go there's not much we can do until then ..... .
So in this case, Mike (and I'm filling Marcus in here), we'll graciously exit the meeting, and then wait, and see
whether you can move a "maybe" to "yes" by making it clear to the DOC folks that the "least ugly/stupid" thing
they could do right now is to bring us in to do the work (and, no doubt, keep close tabs on us as we do the
work).
And Marcus, Rob and Mike thought that if we get a "no" -- we very quickly conclude the meeting and leave
(which would arguably be the best way to unsettle them, conveying to them that we know EXACTLY why
they've decided to canceL .. )
Fmiher thoughts? (Including on a-e, above?).
And one more question/issue: They might ask us, point blank, "Has. Rob talked to either of you about issues of
concern re inappropriate expenditures, mis-use of hiring authority, possible legal compliance issues, between
DOC and OCE?"
What would you recommend we say to such direct queries? We could say something like "that's really between
us and our client here, which isn't DOC -- and that's standard operating procedure." Or be more direct -- e.g,
"Yes, he has had some past concerns, though he didn't provide any inforn1ation to us, and as you know, this
engagement is not about the past but about the future of OCE." I want to have a decent answer to such direct
questions -- but in a way that doesn't compromise Rob or our own integrity.

with Colette that we have Mike Jordan there as well.
To that end I'm fairly sure that you'll get a "maybe" rather than a "yes or no" on Monday. My view is that
"maybe" has the same weight for Rob as "no".
In my career when I assumed new duties I called for audits and reviews first thing, that way ifthere was a

don't expect any smmier choices in the future.

Mitch is mentioned extensively in this article. It's an example of one of his creative ideas that you have seen
before. Time will tell if it has positive results. Of course DOC is doing it's own research on the results. I'm sure
that it will classifY all of the recent mini riots on the prison yards all over the system into another bucket. In the
mean time Oregon lost track of all of it's gang activity and can't relay any gang information to the Feds or other
states. I notice that it is easy to do smoke and mirrors if you control all of the infonnation.

Mike -- Thanks. In a "maybe" situation, looks like "C" only makes the most sense -- and a quick leaving.
And of course, this morning we woke up to the Oregonian having a front page story .... by Les Zaitz ..... with
Mitch Morrow mentioned in the 3rd paragraph ---- and it's a glowing pOlirayal of his brilliant, innovative
leadership in turning inmates lives around! No matter that the "charts" -- never referenced in the story -- don't
exactly show an unambiguous picture of success. And, reading closely, it appears that the EVALUATION of
this new initiative will rest in the hands of -- well, the DOC inspector general!
So when you say you think Les is "fooled" -- wow, must he ever be! I suspect that this story will do little or
nothing to make Mitch feel any less dominant and "in charge" at DOC -- and perhaps embolden him even to
give us an outright "no" tomorrow. Better case, of course, is it makes him feel a bit invulnerable -- what the
heck, let PSU come in, though I'm not feeling that one as strongly!
Marcus and I will be meeting early in the morning, and then driving down to Salem for our 9 am. We may want
to give you call around 8:30 on the way down; you have time?
Thanks

If the answer is "maybe" I think we can assume that they want to kill the project. You'll have to assess the tone
and content of how "maybe" is framed but, ifI were you, I'd be prepared to say something akin to "C": "OK,
we've been gearing up to proceed in a way that would allow us to meet the deadline in the agreement, we'd
appreciate your letting us know as soon as possible".
Statements "A" and "B" are challenging, fall into Mitch's paranoia (comfOli) zone and make it easy to
rationalize terminating the contract. "A" - PSU doesn't recognize our chain of command and will be a loose
cannon. "B" - Hey, we are the customer, "we don't got to show no stinking badges" (Bogart - Treasure of the
Sierra Madre). I think "D" and "E" are off the table.
Mitch, and I guess Colette, use strategic information that can be found exclusively within the confines of
DOC. That approach has worked well in the past, due in large measure to Max Williams skill in dealing with
the world outside of DOC. Colette is no Max Williams. My guess is that Mitch retained his position, in spite of
advice to the contrary, because of pressure from Jackie Winters and Peter Courtney who were both pitching for
him to be the Director - motivated by Max. Les Zaitz is certainly fooled. There is every reason for Mitch to feel
"in charge" as well as paranoid. The idea that there might be strategic information beyond the walls of DOC
isn't on the table for Mitch. Any reaction that challenges his authority, which he wields without limits within
DOC, will decrease chances of the project going forward.

Good Morning Neil,
Can you please review the attached letter of agreement and give me advice on whether or not paragraph 1 is legal
(comparing it to the AG opinion of 2005)? I still question that it may be just a different way to co-mingle funds. This is the
paragraph of concern:
In lieu of rental payments to DOC, OCE shall establish a sub-account based on a mutually agreed upon
percentage of OCE annual net income for the purpose of maintenance, repairs, or security enhancements
related to OCE inmate work programs at DOC institutions and facilities where OCE business units are
located. The Director of DOC and the OCE Administrator will convene a work group annually to determine
the distribution of the subaccount. However, in accordance with ORS 421.442, OCE cannot make direct
cash disbursements to DOC.
Thanks,
Rob

My concern is the slippery slope. Is this a way for DOC to supplement their budget? How much revenue do they want?
Why is it based on net income? What is the additional cost DOC is incurring?

Good Morning Neil,
Can you please review the attached letter of agreement and give me advice on whether or not paragraph 1 is legal
(comparing it to the AG opinion of 2005)? I still question that it may be just a different way to co-mingle funds. This is the
paragraph of concern:
In lieu of rental payments to DOC', OCE shall establish a sub-account based on a mutually agreed upon
percentage of OCE annual net income for the purpose of maintenance, repairs, or security enhancements
related to OCE inmate work programs at DOC institutions and facilities where OCE business units are
located. The Director of DOC and the OCE Administrator will convene a work group annually to determine
the distribution of the subaccount. However, in accordance with ORS 421.442, OCE cannot make direct
cash disbursements to DOC.
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Colette & Mitch,
I wanted to make sure that we were not going to be in conflict with the earlier AG opinions in regards to the MOU that we
have been working on. As a result, I had Neil Bryant do a confidential review of the MOU. His evaluation suggests that
certain paragraphs would not be in compliance and recommended a DOJ review if we wanted to proceed with it. He said
that you could call him if you like. Perhaps we can discuss this when you are available.

Colette and I are in full agreement with your view of the PSU/OCE Agreement, with one exception (based on the below
email). We do not have an interest in having PSU do a ?structural review? or provide a ?menu? of options, which would
include OCE moving towards an NFP model. We informed Dr. Ingle and Mr. Keisling of that when we met. There may be
other minor adjustments to the Agreement, but we were very clear on this point. Also, there is very little interest on our
part in putting together a Legislative agenda regarding any statute changes (or constitutional ones for that matter) to
OCE, at least for the 2013 ? 2015 session. We believe there is some heavy lifting to be done around the programmatic
elements and how we build operational crossover between Operations, Offender Management and Rehabilitation,
Community Corrections and OCE. We are also wanting Research to be engaged. 'Lots to discuss. I have some time this
morning if you are available.

Subject: RE: OCE/PSU Contract
I really like the idea of including the Assistant Directors and the ?co-producing? approach. My original intent of this
project was to have a business practice review that would analyze the relationship between DOC & aCE from both a
business and service provider relationship. The business review information would then be used to develop a menu of
policy options regarding the mission and service base of the organization. This may include things like increasing the type
of work skills training (Le, WFD & apprenticeship), drug & alcohol, and cognitive programs that would be integrated into
our structure. We were also going to look at expanding our service base to include the youth authority, the state hospital,
and transitional programs that target releasing offenders. Additionally there was to be a structural review that would
provide a menu of options for the Director to consider. Ultimately we would have a legal review of the different findings
and options that would provide recommended statutory and constitutional changes, I wanted a full menu of options so that
we could put together a 10 year strategic plan for the organization. The current agreement is fairly wide open with this
project so it is really up to you and Colette as to how we proceed.

Subject: Re: OCE/PSU Contract
Mitch,
As agreed at our meeting with Colette and Phil on the 5th of March, thanks for getting back to us with
recommendations for next steps. We especially appreciate your efforts in identifYing a steering committee for
the project from both DOC and OCE to assist us in managing (or what we call "co-producing") the contract
until completion.
Let me bring you up to date on actions our contract team has taken since the 5th, and layout some specific
suggestions for ensuring that the our first meeting with the steering committee is well organized and highly
productive. I am only copying this to Rob since your message singles him out to work with us in making
arrangements for the meeting, and also to Shmmon (our project manager). Here is the brief update:
1. Following the meeting, I prepared a set of "Meeting Highlights" (see attached) and shared them with our
internal CPS project team in a meeting that we held today. These are for our internal team records. Please send
along any revisions or modifications that you deem required. We planned the meeting last week to bring the
team up to date, and discuss implications for moving forward.
2. Since I received your e-mail right before our meeting today at noon, I also shared the contents of your e-mail
with the team. We are in agreement with the focus of the first meeting being on the revised business case and
project scope. And all of the team agreed that we need a clear problem/opportunity statement along with other
items outlined in your memo. To be fully prepared for the steering committee meeting, our team needs to do
additional reading and internal preparation. This will require some "further action" on our part, including
working out the agenda, materials and process for the meeting. It would be best, based on my
previous experience, for Shannon and I to meet with you and Rob prior to the kick-off meeting (with the full
steering committee and our team) to ensure we are all on the same page with the agenda and facilitation
process. Do you have time this Weds. or Thursday for an initial meeting with our core planning team?
3. One complicating matter -- as a result of the delayed kick-off ofthe project -- is that we will be unable to do
the meeting with the steering committee until early in April. I have a long planned business trip abroad from
the 16th to the 30th of March that I must take. So it would be valuable to have a pre-planning session for the
April kick-off prior to the 16th. Is it possible to squeeze a meeting in prior to my departure on the 16th?
4. There is also one other issue with the contact that I need to mention. During the meeting this morning here,
our contracts/budget officer pointed out that our first "contractual deliverable" along with an initial request for
payment is due on the 31 st of March. We have obviously incurred some start-up costs since the contract with
signed, but will not be able to finish the Phase 1 deliverable by the 31 st of March -- given our decisions to shift
the start-up timing and scope. So we need to decide how to deal with that, and we need to get a modification of
that date (and others I suppose) in writing.
Those are my key suggestions for now. Our team remains excited about this opportunity.

Dr. Ingle,
As a follow-up to our meeting last week, I wanted to provide a recommendation for next steps. Director
Peters and I would like to set up a steering committee, that is representative of both DOC and OCE, to assist
with defining a business case and project scope as it relates to the contract between OCE and PSU, and to
manage the contract until completion. Suggested DOC/OCE Steering Committee members will include Rob
Killgore, Laura Osborne and Gary Kilmer from OCE administration and Mike Gower (Assistant Director), Chane
Griggs (Assistant Director) and Ginger Martin (Assistant Director) from the DOC executive team. My role will
be as the Executive Sponsor. I would like to set up a meeting between PSU staff, steering committee
members and myself prior to any further action occurring. Along with building a business case and defining a
project scope at our first meeting, I think it would be important to address the following issues as well:
Draft a clear problem/opportunity statement
Write a goal statement - a concise, measurable outcome to be accomplished
Develop a list of critical stakeholders
Build a communication plan to get the contract off on the right footing
Establish clarity around a reporting matrix (how often, who with, format, delivery mechanism, level of
detail)
Build a contact list
Determine product deliverable dates
There may be more issues (ownership of the final product, confidentiality), but this should get us started.
will ask Rob to make arrangements for our first meeting. I look forward to the conversation/planning.

Subject: OCE Business Practice Review
Colleagues,
I wanted to inform you about a conversation Rob Killgore and I had regarding Oregon Corrections Enterprises (OCE). As
you all know, I have a deep affection for OCE given my history with the organization and have always appreciated Rob's
leadership of OCE since my leaving in 2002. When Rob took over as the Administrator, we both knew that maintaining a
healthy working relationship between DOC and OCE was critical to building a solid foundation for the future of OCE. We
knew this because prior to our deciding to make this one of OCE's primary business goals, the relationship between the
two was toxic. As a result, the communication was bad, there was territorial behavior and a significant divide between
institution and OCE management. OCE was headed for insolvency if their business practices did not drastically change
and if the relationships between the businesses themselves and DOC leadership did not dramatically improve. Of equal
importance was improving the relationships between OCE management and labor leadership, between managers and
2
KIL_PSU_ 003688
OCE employee's in general, with external business partners, elected officials, stakeholders and customers (the most
important of all). Much work was needing to be done.
In an attempt to always be developing and managing the many varied relationships OCE encounters given their unique
business model (a quasi-state government, financially self-sustaining, business-like entity), they are always working to
find ways to "give back." I wanted to share a few examples of the many ways OCE has "given back" over the years:
DOC Operational
Heart-beat monitors for institution vehicle gates
Security enhancement infrastructure upgrades
Business expansions/re-Iocations
Running business that are not profitable, but employ inmates
Political
Desks and office decor for the Legislature for at or below cost
Charitable
Boys Scouts of America
Missing Children's Golf Tournament
DOC Support As Primary Stakeholder/Business Partner
Display furniture in offices and hallways
Multiple Plaques/awards
Financial support for meals/refreshments for DOC Leadership/awards banquets/retirements
A new reception desk at TRCI
Most recently, OCE really stepped up to support EOCI (where OCE has multiple businesses) during one of the more
tragic moments in our agencies history, the homicide of Correctional Officer Buddy Herron. OCE paid for hotel
accommodations for the out-of-state family members of the fallen officer and his widow, provided food and water for not
only our Honor Guard, but all other Honor Guard members who traveled to attend the ceremonies and paid for the use of
a transport vehicle to get EOCI staff to the funeral and then return them back to the institution. Not enough can be said
about the tremendous commitment OCE displayed towards one of it's more significant business partners. Their
contributions and support are very much appreciated and will not soon be forgotten.
Even though the DOC is only 20% of OCE's overall business, Rob knows that 100% of their operation and workforce
resides within DOC institutions, which makes maintaining the DOC/OCE working relationship critical. We have been
talking about how to build a model that puts a more formalized structure around OCE's contribution activities. Many years
have passed since an extensive review of OCE's business practices has occurred and we think it might be time to do just
that. We are not completely sure quite yet how things should look, but we wanted to keep folks in the loop as
conversations begin to take place. We have agreed that we will curtail OCE's contribution activities until such time the
review can be completed. Of course, there will always seem to be opportunities for exceptions to be discussed. An
exception process is being developed and we will get that to you as soon as it is completed.
As a result of this decision, OCE will not be providing a contribution for the upcoming DOC awards banquet. I know that
we have always served a meal at the banquet, but lets start making alternative plans now. I understand this email will
cause some questions. Please feel free to contact either Rob or me and we will do our best to provide answers. Thanks
for your patience as we go through this review and transition process.

Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a requirement for the state CAFR that I found out about last Friday after it was
flagged by our Fiscal Manager. It is asking for any violations of legal or contractual provisions
during the fiscal year. It gives the example of expending revenues for purposes other than
outlined in constitutional provisions. This same question came up recently with our annual CPA
audit. I need to resolve this requirement with both entities.
I had Neil Bryant review Mitch?s email from earlier this year and his opinion is that the expenses
related to the Buddy Herron funeral where outside the scope of our laws (attached is Neil?s
letter). I reviewed this with our CPA along with the reasoning for the support. I explained that
the new Director took immediate short ternl action with the fOlmation of a memorandum of
understanding and was taking long term action by having Portland State University review and
provide recommendations on the organization. The CPA felt that the expense was immaterial and
suggested noting it in our ?manager?s recommendation? supplement to the audit as she felt that it
was handled appropriately. Because it was financially immaterial it would not be mentioned in
the actual audit. You do need to keep in mind that our auditor looks at aCE from a business
perspective and not governmental. The state may have different standards related to the
definition of immaterial. I have. yet to get back to the auditor on this.

As stated earlier, I did not know about the CAFR requirement until last Friday. It is due this
Monday but I have put a hold on it until we can discuss or I get direction from you. I recommend
that we report the expenses related to the Herron funeral and describe what action has been taken
to keep us within the scope of our laws in the future. Please let me know how you would like to
proceed.

Based on what I have read, if the decision to respond is seen as necessary by Colette, I would
recommend we modify our response on the CAFR General Disclosure fonn. I would include
significantly more detail about the homicide, the timing of things, why there was an opinion
(even if incorrectly) that OCE could do this and what the intent was. Also, I am not big on
naming someone. "We made the decision to fund," or "a decision was made to fund", or
something like; "as an outcome to a tragic event involving one or our primary customers
employees, OCE assisted with .... " "It was later determined that this funding was outside the
parameters outlined in ...... " Just some thoughts to discuss when we meet. We might even get
our communications staff (Heidi) involved, notify some folks ahead of the document going
downtown, provide a heads-up to Steve Powers and let EOCI know. I think we need to be very
thoughtful about next steps.
Talk soon.

,review, OCE's official "reasoning for the support" statement to your CPA and any other written
statements/materials from OCE regarding this issue. Thanks.
Please work with Marie on arranging some time for the three of us to meet. Talk soon.
Mitch

ImpOliance: High

Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a requirement for the state CAFR that I found out about last Friday after it was
flagged by our Fiscal Manager. It is asking for any violations of legal or contractual provisions
9
KIL_PSU_ 003695
during the fiscal year. It gives the example of expending revenues for purposes other than
outlined in constitutional provisions. This same question came up recently with our annual CPA
audit. I need to resolve this requirement with both entities.
I had Neil Bryant review Mitch's email from earlier this year and his opinion is that the expenses
related to the Buddy Herron funeral where outside the scope of our laws (attached is Neil's
letter). I reviewed this with our CPA along with the reasoning for the support. I explained that
the new Director took immediate short tenn action with the fonnation of a memorandum of
understanding and was taking long tenn action by having POliland State University review and
provide recommendations on the organization. The CPA felt that the expense was immaterial and
suggested noting it in our "manager's recommendation" supplement to the audit as she felt that it
was handled appropriately. Because it was financially immaterial it would not be mentioned in
the actual audit. You do need to keep in mind that our auditor looks at OCE from a business
perspective and not governmental. The state may have different standards related to the
definition of immaterial. I have yet to get back to the auditor on this.
As stated earlier, I did not know about the CAFR requirement until last Friday. It is due this
Monday but I have put a hold on it until we can discuss or I get direction from you. I recommend
that we report the expenses related to the Herron funeral and describe what action has been taken
to keep us within the scope of our laws in the future. Please let me know how you would like to
proceed.
Thanks,
Rob

We are completing the general disclosure portion of the CAFR and I have a question about how I
should respond to "Violations of Legal or Contractual Provisions".
One of the examples is expending revenue for purposes other than outlined in constitutional
provisions.
There is the funeral. Please let me know how you would like me to respond or not.
Thanks,

Hi Neil,
This morning you had asked about who actually obligated the funds for the funeral. We pulled the e-mails from
Betty Bernt's account and found the attached emails between Betty & Mitch. I think that you can fOlm your
own opinion on this. The comment is made "any more crap about the money OCE spent on the funeral stuff'?
You will also notice that no OCE executives were copied on any of the emails.
Thanks,
Rob

Good Morning Mitch,
I assume that you are asking for emails related to the funeral expenditure at this point. Please keep in mind that
a fOlmal audit or review of the expenses has not been done. If you recall, I recommended that in January &
February.
So in response to your request, we assembled the attached emails and financials related to the funeral. We do
have everything in our systems (Fiscal, HR, Contracts, IS) if need be. In crafting the CAFR response I
recommend that we review at least the following:
1. Why did OCE/DOC do it? Obviously this was done to take care of the Herron family and assist the
community. That is, there was no personal gain for anyone.
2. Did the expenses exceed the constitutional and statutory authority of OCE? Obviously this is the most
important point as it triggers the repoliing requirements. Both Neil and I think that it was. If you feel differently
then I recommend another DOJ opinion specific to this situation.
3. How were the expenses obligated? The Director's office dealt directly with Betty Bernt. No OCE executives
were notified until after the funds were obligated. I think that Gary, Laura & I wish that we could say
something differently but we can't. This is impOliant because it will help determine how we craft the message.
Thanks,
Rob

Based on what I have read, if the decision to respond is seen as

about the homicide, the timing of things, why there was an opinion (even
if incorrectly) that OCE could do this and what the intent was. Also, I
am not big on naming someone. "We made the decision to fund," or "a

Hi Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a description of the OCE sponsorship during Corrections Employees Week. I really liked the way
that we did it this year because of the personal interaction between DOC & OCE staff.
You will also find an accounting of expenses that have been booked to Sales & Marketing relating to DOC for
FYE '12. In answer to your questions relating to "reportable" or "immaterial" I have to say that I don't know.
The reason that this has come up is because of the legal opinion regarding the Herron funeral which ultimately
was triggered from the Business Practice e-mail in January and the need to comply with our annual audit.
It is interesting if you look at the dates. You will notice that the activity pretty much stopped (except for
corrections week) once the Inter Agency Agreement was put into place. However, as we talked about yesterday,
we need to figure this out in a way that benefits & builds the relationship.
I spoke to Neil earlier in the day about the CAFR and the additional information that I supplied him. He was

going to call you immediately afterwards. I hope that you connected. Perhaps we can discuss tomorrow.
Thanks,

Rob,
Congratulations on the wedding. Sony you had to be here this week when
you should have been off. Please enjoy the two weeks.
Colette and I continued our conversation regarding the CAFR report and
we would like to get some additional information from you (or Laura).
Would you please provide us with the amount of OCE funds obligated
during Corrections Employee Week across the agency and what those funds
were actually spent on (candy, soda, hotdogs). Then, we would be
interested in what the Administration of OCE sees as the justification
for those expenditures. Based on our conversation yesterday, you
indicated it was a sales and marketing expense. I get that and we
completely agree. What we need is for you to articulate the sales and
marketing justification. As we continue to work through the decision on
the CAFR, we would like to do a side-by-side comparison of our
perspective on the Henon expense and your justification on the
Conections Employee Week expense.
Finally, are there any other examples you can think of during the past
year at OCE that you would consider expenditures outside the
constitutional or statutOlY language parameters? At what point (dollar
amount, number of incidents) does the OCE administration consider these
expenditures either as "repOliable" or as immaterial with regard to the
CAFR report expectation?
Sony for the additional work. We just want to make sure we are being
supportive and that we take everything into consideration as we move
towards a decision. Thanks for the conversation yesterday and please
don't hesitate to call or write if you have any questions.
Mitch

Thanks Rob.
On point # 1: I would add that not unlike expenditures made during
Corrections Employee Week, this expenditure is a way to market OCE by
supporting a primary business partner during a very difficult and tragic
time.
On point #2: I don't believe the question is did the expense "exceed
the constitutional and statutory authority of OCE," but rather did the
expenditure fall within constitutional or statutory parameters. I think
there continues to be some level of disagreement on the nexus between
the expenditure and the connection to a primary business paIiner. And
although cOlmected, the first point does differ a bit from the decision
needing to made as to if the expenditure should be repOlied to the CAFR
or if the expenditure is immaterial.
On point #3: Dealing with a mid-level manager (especially one that
handles such things for OCE) would not be an unusual action (it happened
many times before and has occurred since). I am not sure of the timing
of things, but it does appear Betty notified you via email on 11/30111
of what was requested. Also, I do recall very clearly asking Betty
during a phone call with her to have you call me if there were any
concems on you part when the request was made to have OCE suppOli the
Herron family. Given that, I think we may disagree a bit on the
notification/proper engagement points you are making.
All that aside, we'll get this resolved. I do apologize if I offended
you in any way today, that was not my intent. We simply view things
differently based on our own backgrounds. That does not make either of
us a "weak" leader, and that was not what I was categorizing you as. It
just points out that we come from different perspectives. OCE has
accomplished some tremendous things under your leadership and I have
nothing but the upmost respect for you.
It might be time for you and I to have lunch. We (you and I and
DOC/OCE) have been making some great progress and I don't want us to
lose momentum. Talk soon.
Mitch

Good Morning Mitch,
I assume that you are asking for emails related to the funeral
expenditure at this point. Please keep in mind that a formal audit or
review of the expenses has not been done. If you recall, I recommended
that in January & February.
So in response to your request, we assembled the attached emails and
financials related to the funeral. We do have everything in our systems
(Fiscal, HR, Contracts, IS) if need be. In crafting the CAFRresponse I
recommend that we review at least the following:
1. Why did OCE/DOC do it? Obviously this was done to take care of the
HelTon family and assist the cOlmnunity. That is, there was no personal
gain for anyone.
2. Did the expenses exceed the constitutional and statutory authority of
OCE? Obviously this is the most important point as it triggers the
reporting requirements. Both Neil and I think that it was. If you feel
differently then I recommend another DOJ opinion specific to this
situation.
3. How were the expenses obligated? The Director's office dealt directly
with Betty Bernt. No OCE executives were notified until after the funds
were obligated. I think that Gary, Laura & I wish that we could say
something differently but we can't. This is important because it will
help determine how we craft the message.
Thanks,
Rob

ImpOliance: High

Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a requirement for the state CAFR that I found out about
last Friday after it was flagged by our Fiscal Manager. It is asking for
any violations of legal or contractual provisions during the fiscal
year. It gives the example of expending revenues for purposes other than
outlined in constitutional provisions. This same question came up
recently with our annual CPA audit. I need to resolve this requirement
with both entities.
I had Neil Bryant review Mitch's email from earlier this year and his
opinion is that the expenses related to the Buddy Herron funeral where
outside the scope of our laws (attached is Neil's letter). I reviewed
this with our CPA along with the reasoning for the suppOli. I explained
that the new Director took immediate short term action with the
formation of a memorandum of understanding and was taking long term
action by having POliland State University review and provide
recommendations on the organization. The CPA felt that the expense was
immaterial and suggested noting it in our "manager's recommendation"
supplement to the audit as she felt that it was handled appropriately.
Because it was financially immaterial it would not be mentioned in the
actual audit. You do need to keep in mind that our auditor looks at OCE
from a business perspective and not governmental. The state may have
different standards related to the definition of immaterial. I have yet
to get back to the auditor on this.
As stated earlier, I did not know about the CAFR requirement until
last Friday. It is due this Monday but I have put a hold on it until we
can discuss or I get direction from you. I recommend that we report the
expenses related to the Herron funeral and describe what action has been
taken to keep us within the scope of our laws in the future. Please let
me know how you would like to proceed.

Neil called me last night and said that he worked out a solution with Colette. He will give us another opinion

involved. He does still stand by his opinion that it was outside the scope of the law and should be disclosed to
the CPA Auditors. Laura & I will sign the CAFR this morning and get it to DAS.
While I am on vacation, Gary, Laura, Ann & Betty can draft a formal process for these types of activities in the

recently with our annual CPA audit. I need to resolve this requirement
with both entities.
I had Neil Bryant review Mitch's email from earlier this year and his
opinion is that the expenses related to the Buddy Herron funeral where
outside the scope of our laws (attached is Neil's letter). I reviewed
this with our CPA along with the reasoning for the support. I explained
that the new Director took immediate short term action with the
fOlIDation of a memorandum of understanding and was taking long telID
action by having Portland State University review and provide
recommendations on the organization. The CPA felt that the expense was
immaterial and suggested noting it in our "manager's recommendation"
supplement to the audit as she felt that it was handled appropriately.
Because it was financially immaterial it would not be mentioned in the
actual audit. You do need to keep in mind that our auditor looks at OCE
from a business perspective and not governmental. The state may have
different standards related to the definition of immaterial. I have yet
to get back to the auditor on this.
As stated earlier, I did not know about the CAFR requirement until
last Friday. It is due this Monday but I have put a hold on it until we
can discuss or I get direction from you. I recommend that we report the
expenses related to the HelTon funeral and describe what action has been
taken to keep us within the scope of our laws in the future. Please let
me know how you would like to proceed.
Thanks,

Hi Laura,
Hope your trip is going well and you're staying cool.
We are completing the general disclosure portion of the CAFR and I
have a question about how I should respond to "Violations of Legal or
Contractual Provisions".
One of the examples is expending revenue for purposes other than
outlined in constitutional provisions.
There is the funeral. Please let me know how you would like me to
respond or not.
Thanks,
Ann

Good Morning Colette & Mitch,
Neil called me last night and said that he worked out a solution with Colette. He will give us another opinion
that recommends not reporting the funeral expenses to the CAFR because there was no criminal activity
involved. He does still stand by his opinion that it was outside the scope of the law and should be disclosed to
the CPA Auditors. Laura & I will sign the CAFR this morning and get it to DAS.
While I am on vacation, Gary, Laura, Ann & Betty can draft a formal process for these types of activities in the

Hi Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a description of the OCE sponsorship during Corrections Employees Week. I really liked the way
that we did it this year because of the personal interaction between DOC & OCE staff.
You will also find an accounting of expenses that have been booked to Sales & Marketing relating to DOC for
FYE '12. In answer to your questions relating to "reportable" or "immaterial" I have to say that I don't know.
The reason that this has come up is because of the legal opinion regarding the Herron funeral which ultimately
was triggered from the Business Practice e-mail in January and the need to comply with our annual audit.
It is interesting if you look at the dates. You will notice that the activity pretty much stopped (except for
corrections week) once the Inter Agency Agreement was put into place. However, as we talked about yesterday,
we need to figure this out in a way that benefits & builds the relationship.
I spoke to Neil earlier in the day about the CAFR and the additional information that I supplied him. He was
going to call you immediately afterwards. I hope that you connected. Perhaps we can discuss tomorrow.
Thanks,
Rob

Congratulations on the wedding. Sorry you had to be here this week when
you should have been off. Please enjoy the two weeks.
Colette and I continued our conversation regarding the CAFR repmi and
we would like to get some additional infmmation from you (or Laura).
Would you please provide us with the amount of OCE funds obligated
during Corrections Employee Week across the agency and what those funds
were actually spent on (candy, soda, hotdogs). Then, we would be
interested in what the Administration of OCE sees as the justification
for those expenditures. Based on our conversation yesterday, you
indicated it was a sales and marketing expense. I get that and we
completely agree. What we need is for you to articulate the sales and
marketing justification. As we continue to work through the decision on
2
KIL_PSU_ 003735
the CAFR, we would like to do a side-by-side comparison of our
perspective on the Herron expense and your justification on the
Conections Employee Week expense.
Finally, are there any other examples you can think of during the past
year at OCE that you would consider expenditures outside the
constitutional or statutory language parameters? At what point (dollar
amount, number of incidents) does the OCE administration consider these
expenditures either as "repOliable" or as immaterial with regard to the
CAFR report expectation?
Sony for the additional work. We just want to make sure we are being
supportive and that we take everything into consideration as we move
towards a decision. Thanks for the conversation yesterday and please
don't hesitate to call or write if you have any questions.

Thanks Rob.
On point # 1: I would add that not unlike expenditures made during
Conections Employee Week, this expenditure is a way to market OCE by
supporting a primary business partner during a very difficult and tragic
time.
On point #2: I don't believe the question is did the expense "exceed
the constitutional and statutory authority of OCE," but rather did the
expenditure fall within constitutional or statutory parameters. I think
there continues to be some level of disagreement on the nexus between
the expenditure and the connection to a primary business pminer. And
although connected, the first point does differ a bit from the decision
needing to made as to if the expenditure should be repOlied to the CAFR
or if the expenditure is immaterial.
On point #3: Dealing with a mid-level manager (especially one that
handles such things for OCE) would not be an unusual action (it happened
many times before and has occurred since). I am not sure ofthe timing
of things, but it does appear Betty notified you via email on 11130111
of what was requested. Also, I do recall very clearly asking Betty
during a phone call with her to have you call me if there were any
concerns on you part when the request was made to have OCE suppOli the
Henon family. Given that, I think we may disagree a bit on the
notification/proper engagement points you are making.

KIL_PSU_ 003736
All that aside, we'll get this resolved. I do apologize if I offended
you in any way today, that was not my intent. We simply view things
differently based on our own backgrounds. That does not make either of
us a "weak" leader, and that was not what I was categorizing you as. It
just points out that we come from different perspectives. OCE has
accomplished some tremendous things under your leadership and I have
nothing but the upmost respect for you.
It might be time for you and I to have lunch. We (you and I and
DOC/OCE) have been making some great progress and I don't want us to
lose momentum. Talk soon.

Good Morning Mitch,
I assume that you are asking for emails related to the funeral
expenditure at this point. Please keep in mind that a fOlmal audit or
review of the expenses has not been done. If you recall, I reconmlended
that in January & February.
So in response to your request, we assembled the attached emails and
financials related to the funeral. We do have everything in our systems
(Fiscal, HR, Contracts, IS) if need be. In crafting the CAFR response I
recommend that we review at least the following:
1. Why did OCE/DOC do it? Obviously this was done to take care of the
Herron family and assist the community. That is, there was no personal
gain for anyone.
2. Did the expenses exceed the constitutional and statutory authority of
OCE? Obviously this is the most important point as it triggers the
repoliing requirements. Both Neil and I think that it was. If you feel
differently then I recommend another DOJ opinion specific to this
situation.
3. How were the expenses obligated? The Director's office dealt directly
with Betty Bernt. No OCE executives were notified until after the funds
were obligated. I think that Gary, Laura & I wish that we could say
something differently but we can't. This is impoliant because it will
help determine how we craft the message.

Thanks for this information. In your email to Colette and me last

year." I am not seeing that email in the attachments above. Will you
send that document my way as well. Thanks.
Based on what I have read, if the decision to respond is seen as
necessary by Colette, I would recommend we modify our response on the
CAFR General Disclosure form. I would include significantly more detail
about the homicide, the timing of things, why there was an opinion (even
if incorrectly) that OCE could do this and what the intent was. Also, I
am not big on naming someone. "We made the decision to fund," or "a
decision was made to fund", or something like; "as an outcome to a
tragic event involving one or our primary customers employees, OCE
assisted with .... " "It was later determined that this funding was
outside the parameters outlined in ...... " Just some thoughts to discuss
when we meet. We might even get our communications staff (Heidi)
involved, notify some folks ahead of the document going downtown,
provide a heads-up to Steve Powers and let EOCI know. I think we need
to be very thoughtful about next steps.
Talk soon.

Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a requirement for the state CAFR that I found out about
last Friday after it was flagged by our Fiscal Manager. It is asking for
any violations of legal or contractual provisions during the fiscal
year. It gives the example of expending revenues for purposes other than
outlined in constitutional provisions. This same question came up
recently with our annual CPA audit. I need to resolve this requirement
with both entities.
I had Neil Bryant review Mitch's email from earlier this year and his
8
KIL_PSU_ 003741
opinion is that the expenses related to the Buddy Herron funeral where
outside the scope of our laws (attached is Neil's letter). I reviewed
this with our CPA along with the reasoning for the support. I explained
that the new Director took immediate ShOli tenn action with the
fonnation of a memorandum of understanding and was taking long tenn
action by having Portland State University review and provide
recommendations on the organization. The CP A felt that the expense was
immaterial and suggested noting it in our "manager's recommendation"

Because it was financially immaterial it would not be mentioned in the
actual audit. You do need to keep in mind that our auditor looks at OCE
from a business perspective and not governmental. The state may have
different standards related to the definition of immaterial. I have yet
to get back to the auditor on this.
As stated earlier, I did not know about the CAFR requirement until

can discuss or I get direction from you. I recommend that we report the
expenses related to the Herron funeral and describe what action has been

Good Morning Mitch,
I assume that you are asking for emails related to the funeral
expenditure at this point. Please keep in mind that a formal audit or
review of the expenses has not been done. If you recall, I recommended
that in January & February.
So in response to your request, we assembled the attached emails and
financials related to the funeral. We do have everything in our systems
(Fiscal, HR, Contracts, IS) if need be. In crafting the CAFR response I
recommend that we review at least the following:
1. Why did OCE/DOC do it? Obviously this was done to take care of the
Herron family and assist the community. That is, there was no personal
gain for anyone.
2. Did the expenses exceed the constitutional and statutory authority of
OCE? Obviously this is the most important point as it triggers the
reporting requirements. Both Neil and I think that it was. If you feel
differently then I recommend another DOJ opinion specific to this
situation. .
3. How were the expenses obligated? The Director's office dealt directly
with Betty Bernt. No OCE executives were notified until after the funds
were obligated. I think that Gary, Laura & I wish that we could say
something differently but we can't. This is important because it will
help detelmine how we craft the message.
Thanks,
Rob

Based on what I have read, if the decision to respond is seen as
necessary by Colette, I would recommend we modify our response on the
CAFR General Disclosure form. I would include significantly more detail
about the homicide, the timing of things, why there was an opinion (even
if incorrectly) that OCE could do this and what the intent was. Also, I
am not big on naming someone. "We made the decision to fund," or "a
decision was made to fund", or something like; "as an outcome to a
tragic event involving one or our primary customers employees, OCE
assisted with .... " "It was later determined that this funding was
outside the parameters outlined in ...... " Just some thoughts to discuss
when we meet. We might even get our communications staff (Heidi)
involved, notify some folks ahead of the document going downtown,
provide a heads-'-up to Steve Powers and let EOCI know. I think we need
to be very thoughtful about next steps.

Importance: High

Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a requirement for the state CAFR that I found out about
last Friday after it was flagged by our Fiscal Manager. It is asking for
any violations of legal or contractual provisions during the fiscal
year. It gives the example of expending revenues for purposes other than
outlined in constitutional provisions. This same question came up
recently with our annual CPA audit. I need to resolve this requirement
with both entities.
I had Neil Bryant review Mitch's email from earlier this year and his
opinion is that the expenses related to the Buddy Herron funeral where
outside the scope of our laws (attached is Neil's letter). I reviewed
this with our CPA along with the reasoning for the suppOli. I explained
that the new Director took immediate short term action with the
formation of a memorandum of understanding and was taking long term
action by having Portland State University review and provide
recommendations on the organization. The CPA felt that the expense was
immaterial and suggested noting it in our "manager's recommendation"
supplement to the audit as she felt that it was handled appropriately.
Because it was financially immaterial it would not be mentioned in the
actual audit. You do need to keep in mind that our auditor looks at OCE
from a business perspective and not governmental. The state may have
different standards related to the definition of immaterial. I have yet
to get back to the auditor on this.
As stated earlier, I did not know about the CAFR requirement until
last Friday. It is due this Monday but I have put a hold on it until we
can discuss or I get direction from you. I recommend that we report the
expenses related to the Herron funeral and describe what action has been
taken to keep us within the scope of our laws in the future. Please let
me know how you would like to proceed.

Oregon liquor plot thickens as Gov. lohn
Ki haber names former Republican
lawmaker to LCC

o '"'c------------------
l-__________________ --'Michael Lloyd/The OregonianFormer Rep. Rob Patridge,
R-Medford, (left) was a freshman in the Oregon House when this photo was taken during the1999 legislative session.
Gov. John Kitzhaber has offered up a former Republican lawmaker to be the newest member of the Oregon Liquor
Control Commission, a move widely seen as part of his effort to get rid of the agency's longtime director Steve Pharo.
22
KIL_PSU_ 003755
Kitzhaber asked Pharo to resign months ago, but he refused. An effort by the OlCC's five-member governing board
to fire Pharo also failed when it became clear it was one vote short. Rob Patridge, who served three terms in the House,
could provide the needed third vote.
"Certainly Rob and the other commissioners are well aware of the governor's concerns about the leadership of the OlCC,"
said Kitzhaber spokesman Tim Raphael.
Attempts to reach Pharo were unsuccessful Thursday. OlCC Chairwoman Cassandra Skinnerlopata wouldn't comment on
what the future holds for Pharo or whether the board would call a meeting soon to discuss firing him.
"We don't have a line-up yet for our agenda items," Skinnerlopata said. But she was quick to praise the governor's
choice, noting Patridge's previous experience as a legislator, city councilor and deputy district attorney.
Patridge, who was viewed as among the more moderate Republicans when he was in the House, has been active in local
politics in the Medford area. last year, he ran unsuccessfully for Jackson County district attorney.
He wouldn't directly discuss whether he was being brought on board as the swing vote needed to push Pharo out.
"I'm going to come in and look at it and see what's going on and evaluate," said Patridge, who still must be confirmed by
the Oregon Senate, which will take up executive appointments on Sept. 14. "I don't have any preconceived notions."
In March, after Kitzhaber had sent one of his aides to Pharo's office seeking his resignation, the board called a special
meeting to discuss ousting Pharo. The board then cancelled its meeting without explanation.
A month later, the board tried again, announcing a meeting at which it planned to hold a c;losed-door discussion about
whether to fire the director. Again the meeting was cancelled with no explanation.
Speculation centered on the board's make-up, which included three members appointed by former Gov. Ted Kulongoski
and two by Kitzhaber. If Patridge is confirmed, he would replace Rob Roome, a'Bend lawyer who represents the 2nd
Congressional District on the commission and was a Kulongoski pick.
The reasons why Kitzhaber wants Pharo out aren't entirely clear. Pharo and the agency have come under increasing
scrutiny by lawmakers, especially in light of the vote in Washington earlier this year to privatize liquor sales. Oregon has
maintained tight control over liquor since Prohibition ended in the 1930s, and reaps about $100 million a year in profits
for the state general fund.
last year, Pharo was scolded by legislators for working too closely with a high-profile lobbyist representing wine
distributors and targeting a discount grocery chain that wanted to store and ship wine without paying the distributors.
Sen. Jason Atkinson, R-Central Point, all but accused Pharo and his lieutenants of lying about how much it would cost to
collect taxes from stores that bypass distributors.
In an interview shortly after he was asked to resign, Pharo told The Oregonian he was not given a reason why. "I have to
. wonder if the governor is making political deals," he said at the time.

Hello Rob,
Thanks for writing the email. I appreciate you checking in. No need to worry about the ruckus,
that's what we're here for. What worried me more is that we weren't there for you on the front-
end to ensure that the ruckus didn't even happen. I propose we spend more time together so that
we are all on the same page and that you not only understand what Mitch and I are thinking but
that trust begins to get built up. I'm fearful that it's not there. We intend to continue to run this
agency filled with integrity and transparency. I want to get you to a place where you believe that
wholeheartedly.
I know that the meeting was difficult for you - I could see it on your face and hear it in your
voice. I got the sense that there were other things that have happened in the past that have made
you nervous. I recognize that going forward, the MOD and a better understanding amongst the
three of us, will probably resolve issues before they are created. Yet, I think we need to explore
the past a little bit. I think as your new Director I need to understand things that have happened
in the past that make you nervous so that I can fully support you. I understand you are out for a
couple of weeks but when you get back, will you create a list of all the personnel moves or
issues, expenditures, DOC actions, OCE actions, etc. that have made you nervous during your
tenure as the administrator? And, I want them all- big and small. Then I'd like to spend some
time with you understanding the list and talking about the history and the intent. I'm hoping this
will put us all in a better place going forward.
As far as your relationship with Mitch, I'm less concerned with the personal relationship - the
"dysfunctional brothers" as you put it. That is up to the two of you to either resolve, or not, as
friends. What I'm most concerned about is your professional relationship as Administrator to
Deputy Director.
First, let me begin to explain my professional respect for Mitch because it is without
reproach. He is a leader that sits above most. His background, experience, history with the
agency, and ability to see the agency and the enterprise of state government in three-dimensions,
really has put him in the category of one of the best leaders I've ever met - amongst the public
and private sector. I've been working with him now for almost 8 liz years since the day he hired
me. And it's been 8 liz years without intelTuption; while Max, Mitch, and I operated like a well-
oiled machine when I first came to DOC, that did not end when I moved to OY A. Rarely was
there a major problem or a plan that I didn't run by Mitch. The partnership we've had is
priceless to me. So, for me to return and work side by side with him in my new role I couldn't
be more relieved to have him at my side or feel so blessed.
25
KIL_PSU_ 003758
I start here, because I get the sense that you do not see him like I do. I don't know if your
friendship has gotten in the way of you understanding who he is as a leader, but I believe you've
misjudged him for who he is. And while I may be wrong on how you "feel" about him, I do
sense a lack of respect and even acknowledgement of his background, experience, history,
dedication to OCE's success, and dedication to your personal success. I'd like you to spend
some time reflecting on this and I'm happy to talk with you one-on-one to flush this out
further. Just let me know.
I think that the coming year is filled with 0ppOliunities for successand change, so let's resolve
some of these issues soon.
Thanks for your dedication to making this partnership work, Rob.
Sincerely,
Colette

Please do not worry about my relationship with Mitch. We've worked together along time and
are kind of dysfunctional brothers. The funny thing is Mitch and I disagree more about how
things are done rather than what is done.
This coming year will be challenging in many ways for both DOC and OCE so I feel it is
important that I have a strong relationship with the Director's office to be successful. Please do
not hesitate to contact me if you need any assistance.

Good Morning Colette & Mitch,
Neil called me last night and said that he worked out a solution with Colette. He will give us
another opinion that recommends not reporting the funeral expenses to the CAFR because there
was no criminal activity involved. He does still stand by his opinion that it was outside the scope
of the law and should be disclosed to the CPA Auditors. Laura & I will sign the CAFR this
morning and get it to DAS.
While I am on vacation, Gary, Laura, Ann & Betty can draft a formal process for these types of
activities in the future. It should dovetail nicely with the interagency agreement and create a
system that is transparent and easily justified. We can review the draft at our next briefing with

Hi Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a description of the OCE sponsorship during Con'ections Employees Week. I really
liked the way that we did it this year because of the personal interaction between DOC & OCE
staff.
You will also find an accounting of expenses that have been booked to Sales & Marketing
relating to DOC for FYE '12. In answer to your questions relating to "repOliable" or "immaterial"
I have to say that I don't know. The reason that this has come up is because of the legal opinion
regarding the Herron funeral which ultimately was triggered from the Business Practice e-mail in
January and the need to comply with our annual audit.
It is interesting if you look at the dates. You will notice that the activity pretty much stopped
(except for con-ections week) once the Inter Agency Agreement was put into place. However, as
we talked about yesterday, we need to figure this out in a way that benefits & builds the
relationship.
I spoke to Neil earlier in the day about the CAFR and the additional information that I supplied
him. He was going to call you immediately afterwards. I hope that you connected. Perhaps we
can discuss tomon-ow.

Rob,
Congratulations on the wedding. Sorry you had to be here this week when you should have been
off. Please enjoy the two weeks.
Colette and I continued our conversation regarding the CAFR report and we would like to get
some additional infonnation from you (or Laura).
Would you please provide us with the amount of OCE funds obligated during Corrections
Employee Week across the agency and what those funds were actually spent on (candy, soda,
hotdogs). Then, we would be interested in what the Administration of OCE sees as the
justification for those expenditures. Based on our conversation yesterday, you indicated it was a
sales and marketing expense. I get that and we completely agree. What we need is for you to
articulate the sales and marketing justification. As we continue to work through the decision on
the CAFR, we would like to do a side-by-side comparison of our perspective on the Herron
expense and your justification on the Corrections Employee Week expense.
Finally, are there any other examples you can think of during the past year at OCE that you
would consider expenditures outside the constitutional or statutory language parameters? At
what point (dollar amount, number of incidents) does the OCE administration consider these
expenditures either as "reportable" or as immaterial with regard to the CAFR report expectation?
29
KIL_PSU_ 003762
Sorry for the additional work. We just want to make sure we are being supportive and that we
take everything into consideration as we move towards a decision. Thanks for the conversation
yesterday and please don't hesitate to call or write if you have any questions.

Thanks Rob.
On point # 1: I would add that not unlike expenditures made during Corrections Employee
Week, this expenditure is a way to market OCE by supporting a primary business patiner during
a very difficult and tragic time.
On point #2: I don't believe the question is did the expense "exceed the constitutional and
statutory authority of OCE," but rather did the expenditure fall within constitutional or statutory
parameters. I think there continues to be some level of disagreement on the nexus between the
expenditure and the connection to a primary business patiner. And although connected, the first
point does differ a bit from the decision needing to made as to if the expenditure should be
reported to the CAFR or if the expenditure is immaterial.
On point #3: Dealing with a mid-level manager (especially one that handles such things for
OCE) would not be an unusual action (it happened many times before and has occUlTed since). I
am not sure of the timing of things, but it does appear Betty notified you via email on 11/30111
of what was requested. Also, I do recall very clearly asking Betty during a phone call with her to
have you call me if there were any concerns on you part when the request was made to have
OCE support the Herron family. Given that, I think we may disagree a bit on the
notification/proper engagement points you are making.
30

All that aside, we'll get this resolved. I do apologize if I offended you in any way today, that was
not my intent. We simply view things differently based on our own backgrounds. That does not
make either of us a "weak" leader, and that was not what I was categorizing you as. It just points
out that we come from different perspectives. OCE has accomplished some tremendous things

It might be time for you and I to have lunch. We (you and I and

So in response to your request, we assembled the attached emails and financials related to the

the CAFR response I recommend that we review at least the following:
1. Why did OCE/DOC do it? Obviously this was done to take care of the Herron family and
assist the community. That is, there was no personal gain for anyone.
2. Did the expenses exceed the constitutional and statutory authority of OCE? Obviously this is

was. If you feel differently then I recommend another DOJ opinion specific to this situation.
3. How were the expenses obligated? The Director's office dealt directly with Betty Bemt. No
OCE executives were notified until after the funds were obligated. I think that Gary, Laura & I
wish that we could say something differently but we can't. This is important because it will help
determine how we craft the message.
Thanks,

Because it was financially immaterial it would not be mentioned in the actual audit. You do need

The state may have different standards related to the definition of immaterial. I have yet to get

Subject: RE: CAFR Question
Hello Rob,
Thanks for writing the email. I appreciate you checking in. No
need to wony about the ruckus, that's what we're here for. What
wonied me more is that we weren't there for you on the front-end
to ensure that the ruckus didn't even happen. I propose we spend
KIL_PSU_ 003775
more time together so that we are all on the same page and that you
not only understand what Mitch and I are thinking but that trust
begins to get built up. I'm fearful that it's not there. We intend to
continue to run this agency filled with integrity and transparency. I
want to get you to a place where you believe that wholeheartedly.
I know that the meeting was difficult for you - I could see it on
your face and hear it in your voice. I got the sense that there were
other things that have happened in the past that have made you
nervous. I recognize that going forward, the MOU and a better
understanding amongst the three of us, will probably resolve issues
before they are created. Yet, I think we need to explore the past a
little bit. I think as your new Director I need to understand things
that have happened in the past that make you nervous so that I can
fully support you. I understand you are out for a couple of weeks
but when you get back, will you create a list of all the personnel
moves or issues, expenditures, DOC actions, OCE actions, etc. that
have made you nervous during your tenure as the
administrator? And, I want them all- big and small. Then I'd like
to spend some time with you understanding the list and talking
about the history and the intent. I'm hoping this will put us all in a
better place going forward.
As far as your relationship with Mitch, I'm less concerned with the
personal relationship - the "dysfunctional brothers" as you put
it. That is up to the two of you to either resolve, or not, as
friends. What I'm most concerned about is your professional
relationship as Administrator to Deputy Director.
First, let me begin to explain my professional respect for Mitch
because it is without reproach. He is a leader that sits above
most. His background, experience, history with the agency, and
ability to see the agency and the enterprise of state government in
three-dimensions, really has put him in the category of one of the
best leaders I've ever met - amongst the public and private
sector. I've been working with him now for almost 8 12 years
since the day he hired me. And it's been 8 12 years without
intenuption; while Max, Mitch, and I operated like a well-oiled
machine when I first came to DOC, that did not end when I moved
to OY A. Rarely was there a major problem or a plan that I didn't
run by Mitch. The partnership we've had is priceless to me. So,
for me to return and work side by side with him in my new role I
couldn't be more relieved to have him at my side or feel so
blessed.
2
KIL_PSU_ 003776
I start here, because I get the sense that you do not see him like I
do. I don't know if your friendship has gotten in the way of you
understanding who he is as a leader, but I believe you've
misjudged him for who he is. And while I may be wrong on how
you "feel" about him, I do sense a lack of respect and even
acknowledgement of his background, experience, history,
dedication to OCE's success, and dedication to your personal
success. I'd like you to spend some time reflecting on this and I'm
happy to talk with you one-on-one to flush this out further. Just let
me know.
I think that the coming year is filled with opportunities for success
and change, so let's resolve some ofthese issues soon.
Thanks for your dedication to making this partnership work, Rob.
Sincerely,
Colette

I want to apologize for the ruckus that this has
created .. I more than realize that you do not need
anything else on your plate right now. I hope that I
was not overly rude towards you the other day
(probably overly stubborn).It is important to me that
DOC, OCE, and the Director's office are all
successful.
Please do not worry about my relationship with
Mitch. We've worked together along time and are
kind of dysfunctional brothers. The funny thing is
Mitch and I disagree more about how things are
done rather than what is done.
This coming year will be challenging in many ways
for both DOC and OCE so I feel it is important that
I have a strong relationship with the Director's
office to be successful. Please do not hesitate to
contact me if you need any assistance.
Thanks,
Rob

Neil called me last night and said that he worked
out a solution with Colette. He will give us another
opinion that recommends not repOliing the funeral
expenses to the CAFR because there was no
criminal activity involved. He does still stand by his
opinion that it was outside the scope of the law and
should be disclosed to the CPA Auditors. Laura & I
will sign the CAFR this morning and get it to DAS.
While I am on vacation, Gary, Laura, Ann & Betty
can draft a fornml process for these types of
activities in the future. It should dovetail nicely with
the interagency agreement and create a system that
is transparent and easily justified. We can review
the draft at our next briefing with you.

Hi Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a description of the OCE sponsorship
during Corrections Employees Week. I really liked
the way that we did it this year because of the
personal interaction between DOC & OCE staff.

KIL_PSU_ 003779
You will also find an accounting of expenses that
have been booked to Sales & Marketing relating to
DOC for FYE '12. In answer to your questions
relating to "reportable" or "immaterial" I have to
say that I don't know. The reason that this has corne
up is because of the legal opinion regarding the
Herron funeral which ultimately was triggered from
the Business Practice e-mail in January and the need
to comply with our annual audit.
It is interesting if you look at the dates. You will
notice that the activity pretty much stopped (except
for corrections week) once the Inter Agency
Agreement was put into place. However, as we
talked about yesterday, we need to figure this out in
a way that benefits & builds the relationship.
I spoke to Neil earlier in the day about the CAFR
and the additional infonnation that I supplied him.
He was going to call you immediately afterwards. I
hope that you connected. Perhaps we can discuss
tomorrow.
Thanks,
Rob

Rob,
Congratulations on the wedding. Sorry you had to
be here this week when you should have been
off. Please enjoy the two weeks.
Colette and I continued our conversation regarding
the CAFR repOli and we would like to get some
additional information from you (or Laura).
Would you please provide us with the amount of
OCE funds obligated during Corrections Employee
Week across the agency and what those funds were
actually spent on (candy, soda, hotdogs). Then, we
would be interested in what the Administration of
OCE sees as the justification for those
expenditures. Based on our conversation yesterday,
you indicated it was a sales and marketing
expense. I get that and we completely agree. What
we need is for you to articulate the sales and
marketing justification. As we continue to work
through the decision on the CAFR, we would like to
do a side-by-side comparison of our perspective on
the Henon expense and your justification on the
Corrections Employee Week expense.
Finally, are there any other examples you can think
of during the past year at OCE that you would
consider expenditures outside the constitutional or
statutory language parameters? At what point
(dollar amount, number of incidents) does the aCE
administration consider these expenditures either as
"reportable" or as immaterial with regard to the
CAFR report expectation?
Sony for the additional work. We just want to
make sure we are being supportive and that we take
everything into consideration as we move towards a
decision. Thanks for the conversation yesterday
and please don't hesitate to call or write .if you have
any questions.

Subject: RE: CAFR Question
Thanks Rob.
On point # 1: I would add that not unlike
expenditures made during Corrections Employee
Week, this expenditure is a way to market OCE by
suppOliing a primary business partner during a very
difficult and tragic time.
On point #2: I don't believe the question is did the
expense "exceed the constitutional and statutory
authority of OCE," but rather did the expenditure
fall within constitutional or statutory parameters. I
-think there continues to be some level of
disagreement on the nexus between the expenditure
and the connection to a primary business
partner. And although connected, the first point
does differ a bit from the decision needing to made
as to if the expenditure should be reported to the
CAFR or if the expenditure is immaterial.
On point #3: Dealing with a mid-level manager
(especially one that handles such things for OCE)
would not be an unusual action (it happened many
times before and has occurred since). I am not sure
of the timing of things, but it does appear Betty
notified you via email on 11130111 of what was
8
KIL_PSU_ 003782
requested. Also, I do recall very clearly asking
Betty during a phone call with her to have you call
me if there were any concems on you part when the
request was made to have OCE support the Herron
family. Given that, I think we may disagree a bit on
the
notification/proper engagement points you are
making.
All that aside, we'll get this resolved. I do
apologize if I offended you in any way today, that
was not my intent. We simply view things
differently based on our own backgrounds. That
does not make either of us a "weak" leader, and that
was not what I was categorizing you as. It just
points out that we come from different
perspectives. OCE has accomplished some
tremendous things under your leadership and I have
nothing but the upmost respect for you.
It might be time for you and I to have lunch. We
(you and I and
DOC/OCE) have been making some great progress
and I don't want us to lose momentum. Talk soon.

Subject: RE: CAFR Question
Good Morning Mitch,
I assume that you are asking for emails related to
the funeral expenditure at this point. Please keep in
mind that a fornlal audit or review of the expenses
has not been done. If you recall, I recommended
that in January & February.
So in response to your request, we assembled the
attached emails and financials related to the funeral.
We do have everything in our systems (Fiscal, HR,
Contracts, IS) if need be. In crafting the CAFR
response I recommend that we review at least the
following:
1. Why did OCEIDOC do it? Obviously this was
done to take care of the Henon family and assist the
community. That is, there was no personal gain for
anyone.
2. Did the expenses exceed the constitutional and
statutory authority of OCE? Obviously this is the
most important point as it triggers the reporting
requirements. Both Neil and I think that it was. If
you feel differently then I recommend another DOJ
opinion specific to this situation.
3. How were the expenses obligated? The Director's
office dealt directly with Betty Bernt. No OCE
executives were notified until after the funds were
obligated. I think that Gary, Laura & I wish that we
could say something differently but we can't. This is
10
KIL_PSU_ 003784
important because it will help determine how we
craft the message.

> Attached is a requirement for the state CAFR that
I found out about
last Friday after it was flagged by our Fiscal
Manager. It is asking for any violations of legal or
contractual provisions during the fiscal year. It
gives the example of expending revenues for
purposes other than outlined in constitutional
provisions. This same question came up recently
with our annual CPA audit. I need to resolve this
requirement with both entities.

> I had Neil Bryant review Mitch's email from
earlier this year and his
opinion is that the expenses related to the Buddy
HelTon funeral where outside the scope of our laws
(attached is Neil's letter). I reviewed this with our
CP A along with the reasoning for the support. I
explained that the new Director took immediate
short term action with the fOlmation of a
memorandum of understanding and was taking long
term action by having Portland State University
review and provide recommendations on the
organization. The CPA felt that the expense was
17
KIL_PSU_ 003791
immaterial and suggested noting it in our
"manager's recommendation"
supplement to the audit as she felt that it was
handled appropriately.
Because it was financially immaterial it would not
be mentioned in the actual audit. You do need to
keep in mind that our auditor looks at OCE from a
business perspective and not govelnmental. The
state may have different standards related to the
definition of immaterial. I have yet to get back to
the auditor on this.
>
> As stated earlier, I did not know about the CAFR
requirement until
last Friday. It is due this Monday but I have put a
hold on it until we can discuss or I get direction
from you. I recommend that we report the expenses
related to the Henon funeral and describe what
action has been taken to keep us within the scope of
our laws in the future. Please let me know how you
would like to proceed.

I really don't have enough time for an in depth read of the report - perhaps on the 10 hour flight tomorrow.
You may want to think about pointing out the differences between the private sector-like functions of OCE
compared to the mainstream government structure of DOC as driving differences in priorities and management
strategies; free market maneuvering space verses regular predictable institution management. This is not only
true, but explains the contradictions facing the Director rather than pinning it on that specific individual.

well as the corrections you sent to me. Let me know if I missed anything or if there are other areas needing

Jordan and the Govemor's office may want to get on top of this rather than reacting to events. Rationally Collet
would have followed your advice and be driving what appears to be inevitable. If this is going to become
public, audited or the subject of a legislative hearing you have to decide what to do and when to do it.

Hi Everyone -
We have exciting news to share with you. Director Collette Peters has appointed the OCE
Administrator as a full time member of the DOC Policy Group. This will help shape future
opportunities, foster collaborative relationships, and coordinate mutual efforts that lead to reducing
recidivism for the State of Oregon.
31
KIL_PSU_ 003805
Office space at the DOC headquarters (Dome Building) on Center Street has been allotted to give
OCE more accessibility to the DOC division administrators. Rob, Laura, Gary, Kevin, and Betty will
be moving to the Dome Building on October 1,2012. This move gives us the opportunity to
strengthen our shared common mission of public safety by reducing the risk of future criminal
behavior through increased inmate participation in our OCE businesses and training programs.
The five of us will always be accessible to you through our continued in-person visits, e-mails, and
phone calls. The OCE Admin office will continue to serve as the hub for central support and
coordination. The OCE Sales staff will be consolidated with the Fiscal, Information Systems,
Contracts and HR-Payroll-Safety units.
More information will be coming as we get settled in October. As always, we truly appreciate the
work, dedication, and effort you contribute to making OCE a great success.
Best regards,
Rob, Laura & Gary

Attached are a Recap and the supporting spreadsheets for the internal fiscal review you requested. We have listed all the
discounts, promotions and expenditures for and/or on behalf of DOC since 2002.
Also included are the personnel costs and laundry surcharge information. Most of these expenditures and discounts were
requested by DOC Executives or the Director?s office.
A more thorough, detailed audit of these business practices, may find additional expenditures.
Please let me know if you need more information at this time.

Rob -- Thanks.
IF we decide to end this engagement with a recommendation that includes OCE independent oversight -- which
would obviously a "WTF" moment in this long-standing drama! -- then the ability to reference these kinds of
pattems (and also recommend an additional audit) would make things even more interesting!
Hang in there; I'm in China, back October 8th. Hope you and Marcus have a good meeting on Friday

An even more precise question, than "Questionable" expenditures that seem to be at odds with the legislative
language that set up OCE as a semi-independent entity to operate on "business principles" (or whatever the
language was) ...

And/Or, as the ultimate (and only) client here -- indeed, some may well ask why you spent another $150K on a
"PSU study," especially after spending $300K earlier this decade! - insist that we include a recommendation for
such an audit in the very final version of our report. ...

Good question. That's exactly why I wanted and audit. A good auditor could confirm
commingling fund and ethical issues. It also depends on whether you look at it from a micro or
macro perspective. At the micro level you can go through it line by line and try to explain things.
At the macro level it looks like a slush fund. I think either approach would be difficult to
explain.

IF we decide to end this engagement with a recommendation that includes OCE independent
oversight -- which would obviously a "WTF" moment in this long-standing drama! -- then the
ability to reference these kinds of patterns (and also recommend an additional audit) would make
things even more interesting!
Hang in there; I'm in China, back October 8th. Hope you and Marcus have a good meeting on

I thought that you guys may find this interesting. This audit is amusing when you consider what Mr. Morrow
recently told us about DOC's new position on measure 17. If you recall, Mitch had us edit the measure 17
language heavily in the phase 2 report as they no longer have established goals and criteria regarding the inmate
work laws.

Hi Rob,
My name is Adriamle and I work for DOC Intemal Audit. I just left you
a voicemail, but thought I would follow up with an email as well.
Colette and I met today and talked about a report that I issued earlier
this year on Innlate Work Opportunities. She asked that I share the
report with you and the rest of the group working with PSU on your
efforts to provide more, meaningful, jobs for inmates. Can you share
with me who the rest ofthe group is? I would be happy to meet with you
and the group about my work on the audit if you are interested.
The goal of the audit was to detemline how DOC manages the inmate
population with regards to work opportunities. We recommended ways DOC
could improve work opportunities by better aligning the PRAS system;
improving consistency in processes; offering more certification
0ppOliunities; and by improving and documenting communication and
KIL_PSU_ 003829
valuable information regarding inmate past work history information,
interests and cataloguing jobs available.
I have attached the report for your review, if you have not already seen
it.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I am out next week on
vacation, retuming on Monday, July 9th. I am available anytime after
that. I look forward to hearing from you!

Gentlemen,
Laura & I have taken the attached spreadsheet and put together an Internal Business Practice Review that includes
supporting documentation (accounting records, emails, & contracts). It is formatted annually and includes notable
expenditures and hiring. It also documents the Director?s Office responses to these issues since January. I believe that
the document is 16 chapters and is about 5 inches thick. Prior to the completion of Phase 3 of the PSU project I would like
to meet with both of you to get advice on what is the best approach to dealing with this issue beyond the DOC Director?s
Office.
Thanks,
Rob

Subject: RE: OCEjPSU Contract
Good Morning Phil & Marcus,
I have forwarded the following email chain started by Mitch Morrow that describes the original management of this project.
If I am reading this correctly it clearly outlines DOC's involvement and includes the appointment of the DOC Deputy
Director as the "Executive Sponsor". In our meeting with Mitch Morrow and his executive staff on October 2nd, he stated
that DOC was not directly involved in this project and were simply advisors. Further, he stated that this was a project
between PSU and OCE and that I was the project manager. Since I am now the "Executive Sponsor", I would like to
rescind all edits to both Phase 1 and Phase 2 reports as I do not agree with the editing of certain languages,
particularly language regarding increased oversight and financial controls. I feel that certain legal and structural changes
must occur prior to OCE moving into new service arenas. Obviously this disrupts the previous focus and time line of the
project so I recommend that we meet to discuss once Phil returns. I would also appreciate this being kept confidential until
it is an appropriate time to bring the new direction forward.
Thanks,
Rob Killgore

KIL_PSU_ 003838
Thank you for your response -lots to discuss. I am heading to Hood River, Pendleton and then back to Hermiston for.
meetings today and tomorrow which means I am unable to meet. I plan to connect up with Rob next week sometime so
we can get our calendars coordinated around this issue. Talk soon.

Mitch,
As agreed at our meeting with Colette and Phil on the 5th of March, thanks for getting back to us with
recommendations for next steps. We especially appreciate your effOlis in identifying a steering committee for
the project from both DOC and OCE to assist us in managing (or what we call "co-producing") the contract
until completion.
Let me bring you up to date on actions our contract team has taken since the 5th, and layout some specific
suggestions for ensuring that the our first meeting with the steering committee is well organized and highly
productive. I am only copying this to Rob since your message singles him out to work with us in making
arrangements for the meeting, and also to Shannon (our project manager). Here is the brief update:
1. Following the meeting, I prepared a set of "Meeting Highlights" (see attached) and shared them with our
internal CPS project team in a meeting that we held today. These are for our internal team records. Please send
along any revisions or modifications that you deem required. We planned the meeting last week to bring the
team up to date, and discuss implications for moving forward.
2. Since I received your e-mail right before our meeting today at noon, I also shared the contents of your e-mail
with the team. We are in agreement with the focus of the first meeting being on the revised business case and
project scope. And all of the team agreed that we need a clear problem/oppOliunity statement along with other
items outlined in your memo. To be fully prepared for the steering committee meeting, our team needs to do
additional reading and internal preparation. This will require some "futiher action" on our part, including
working out the agenda, materials and facilitation process for the meeting. It would be best, based on my
previous experience, for Shannon and I to meet with you and Rob prior to the kick-off meeting (with the full
steering committee and our team) to ensure we are all on the same page with the agenda and facilitation
process. Do you have time this Weds. or Thursday for an initial meeting with our core planning team?
3. One complicating matter -- as a result of the delayed kick-off of the project -- is that we will be unable to do
the meeting with the steering committee until early in April. I have a long planned business trip abroad from
the 16th to the 30th of March that I must take. So it would be valuable to have a pre-planning session for the
April kick-off prior to the 16th. Is it possible to squeeze a meeting in prior to my depaliure on the 16th?
4. There is also one other issue with the contact that I need to mention. During the meeting this morning here,
our contracts/budget officer pointed out that our first "contractual deliverable" along with an initial request for
payment is due on the 31st of March. We have obviously incurred some start-up costs since the contract with
signed, but will not be able to finish the Phase 1 deliverable by the 31 st of March -- given our decisions to shift
the start-up timing and scope. So we need to decide how to deal with that, and we need to get a modification of
that date (and others I suppose) in writing.

KIL_PSU_ 003839
Those are my key suggestions for now. Our team remains excited about this opportunity.

Dr. Ingle,
As a follow-up to our meeting last week, I wanted to provide a recommendation for next steps. Director
Peters and I would like to set up a steering committee, that is representative of both DOC and OCE, to assist
with defining a business case and project scope as it relates to the contract between OCE and PSU, and to
manage the contract until completion. Suggested DOC/OCE Steering Committee members will include Rob
Killgore, Laura Osborne and Gary Kilmer from OCE administration and Mike Gower (Assistant Director), Chane
Griggs (Assistant Director) and Ginger Martin (Assistant Director) from the DOC executive team. My role will
be as the Executive Sponsor. I would like to set up a meeting between PSU staff, steering committee
members and myself prior to any further action occurring. Along with building a business case and defining a
project scope at our first meeting, I think it would be important to address the following issues as well:
Draft a clear problem/opportunity statement
Write a goal statement - a concise, measurable outcome to be accomplished
Develop a list of critical stakeholders
Build a communication plan to get the contract off on the right footing
Establish clarity around a reporting matrix (how often, who with, format, delivery mechanism, level of
detail)
Build a contact list
Determine product deliverable dates
There may be more issues (ownership of the final product, confidentiality), but this should get us started.
will ask Rob to make arrangements for our first meeting. I look forward to the conversation/planning.
Mitch

Hi Phil,
I was a bit slow this morning as it has been a long week. Just a thought, what if the ocrs model was structured as
a specialized institute or division under the community college network? A lot of upside on both the
administrative and political fronts. Some obvious downsides. Community colleges are doing the institution
model now with both doc and oya but they are not good at it and recent audits are showing that. A specialized
division that is entrepreneurial based and semi-autonomous could change that. Just a thought.. ..

Rob -- Worth thinking about, since it would elevate things out of the corrections system entirely. But you're
right about efficiency; you'd want to ensure they're doing things in a business like way, and not sure there's that
kind of "culture" in that patiicular world. So details would matter a lot.

This is quite interesting -- a "snapshot" (not without its biases, arguably) of the situation when there were about
9,000 inmates in the DOC system. There are now closer to 14,000 of course. (Jody, Shannon, I've attached the
repOli for you to see also).
It's well written, and quite informative I especially found some of the "score keeping" discussion -- e.g, pp 6-8 -
- to be interesting, and the notes and appendix are also quite interesting
See for example, Appendix 6 -- suggesting that of the 7,555 "eligible" DOC inmates for Measure 17 compliance
(after rendering "ineligible about 1954 of9511 total) -- fully 81 % (6,140 inmates) are 40+ hourslweek in "work
or program activity."
Pretty impressive, right?
Appendix 7 provides more detail-- fully 5,301 (out of 7,649 eligible inmates; this is as of 1/8/2000) are
seemingly "compliant" because they're in something called "DOC SuppOli." (Just what this is is described on
pages 12-13 -- and somewhat "fuzzily' if you ask me; are ALL these people racking up enough hours to be
"fully compliant" at the 40+ hour standard (up to 20 of which can be education)??
OCE accounted for about 770 total-- so good job, Rob and Laura, since 2000 on getting those numbers up!
I must say, though, that much of this report has a 'selfjustifying' feel to it -- Mannix touting the great "success"
of this initiative, the DOC only happy to provide reams of data that seem to support the case. But really, 81 % of
the eligible inmates are involved at least 40 hours a week in "compliance" activity -- that is, AT LEAST 20
hours/wk of "work" and up to 20 hourslwk of education/rehab work etc?
Recall that Kevin was gearing up a gubernatorial campaign in 2000; this was arguably a talking point. The DOC
KIL_PSU_ 003846
of course had little/no interest in saying, "Well, if you really strictly interpreted the constitutional language, our
compliance rate is a lot lower than 81 %! "
What also happened between 2000 and 2012, of course, was several recessions, massive budget cuts, and a
DOC population ballooning to 14,000+. Was there much appetite, even on the R side of the aisle, to say, "No,
we have to spend even more money on DOC and cut schools, health care, etc even further -- to ensure we're
truly in compliance with the Oregon Constitution on these numbers!"
So here's a theory/premise that is worth testing as we wrap up this work. Perhaps a major reason for DOC
heartburn about this, is that they do know that 1) OCE is NOT ultimately responsible for M 17 compliance
(they're just one strategy, of many, and though arguably the "most sophisticated" in terms of approaches not
expected to be the "primary method"; and that 2) they also know that ANY outside look of real rigor could well
reveal that the "score keeping" on M17 compliance is seriously flawed (perhaps laughably so). But who wants
to deal with the consequences of THAT, perhaps even including Mmmix?
There's also value with this in providing a benchmark vs. both 2000 number and (supposedly) pre 1994
numbers. (Though consider the author, too ... )
intersting stuff; Rob, thanks!

Hi Mike,
Sending this from personal account. It is heating up with Colette. In the email that she sent me I think she was
listing out her reasons to telminate me which is why I responded the way that I did. I also put several things
back onto her. You can share with Phil as I talk about PSU quite a bit. I haven't heard anything from DO]
except the general counsel division chastised me for using unapproved private attorneys. I think that's what
triggered Colette as she saw it as an opportunity. I guess she forgot that she used the same services. I'll let you
know if I hear anything or get a response from Colette.
Thanks

Subject: RE: Unauthorized Legal Representation of OCE ...
Sensitivity: Confidential
Good Afternoon Colette,
In answer to your questions about legal representation I would like to share some ofthe history. We have
6
KIL_PSU_ 003851
utilized DOJ on a consistent basis since becoming the Administrator over a decade ago. The relationship was
positive and resulted in several legal opinions which helped guide us (some of which I shared with you when
you started as the Director). I have had very good legal representation from them over the years particularly
from Paul Weddle. However, DOJ service had deteriorated greatly the past couple of years mostly due to
tumover related to attomey assignment. The mix of business and govelnment in OCE makes it a complex
organization that depends heavily on a knowledge base being developed. I think that's why Paul Weddle was
good for us as he was assigned for several years. We also received flawed legal advice regarding shift work
during this past contract negotiations. Kevin Alano can supply you with that infonnation if you like.
I have engaged three private attomeys over the past decade. Klarquist Sparkmann & Associates, Neil Bryant,
and Bruce Zagar. Klat'quist is a law finn that specializes in copyrights, trademarks, and patents. They have
handled all of the Prison Blues licensing since the '90's. DOJ is aware that we use Klarquist for this.
Neil Bryant was hired in November 2011 with the approval of Max. Neil, Max & I discussed that it was
acceptable because ofORS 42l.305(g) which allows OCE to "appoint and employ any instructional,
administrative, professional, trade, occupational and other personnel as are necessary or appropriate to carry out
the duties and missions of Oregon Corrections Enterprises, and prescribe their compensation and terms of office
or employment". This statute obviously conflicts with the recent letter from DOJ and is a good example of the
need for OCE's laws to be revised.
Neil was hired to focus on the ECOTEX situation that required a mix of political and legal experience as well as
a consistent presence due to the extended negotiations that was contemplated. As you are aware, we also used
his services for a review of Mitch's Business practice e-mail from which Neil wrote the opinion that was used in
our atmual audit and ultimately came up with the CAFR reporting decision which you discussed with him this
past summer. We are still in negotiations with ECOTEX and have a critical meeting scheduled for December
14th. Neil has offered to go at no charge in an advisory capacity. I told him that I would need your approval
before I could cOlmnit to that.
Bruce Zagar was hired this fall and is a business associate of Neil's. I had asked Neil some labor questions over
some of the AOCE issues and he recommended Bruce who specializes in labor law and represents several
govemment entities such as school districts. We had an infonnational meeting with Bruce in July and we felt
that he could potentially help with some of our labor issues. At my request, Gary Kilmer briefed Mitch Morrow
about Bruce Zagar before the pelmanent hiring. If there is disagreement over this I recommend that we get
Gary & Mitch together to discuss.
I self disclosed the use of the private attomeys along with my justification during the recent DOJ investigation.
In addition, when AOCE decided to go the ULP route I had Kevin Alano contact Tessa at DOJ immediately.
Neil & Bruce are currently working on the records disclosure to DOJ and I will make sure that you are copied.
Steve Wolf had already set a meeting up for Monday November 26th. I have Betty working with Marie on
coordinating a DOC representative to attend.
Attached is an executive brief on the current status of AOCE's ULP prepared by Kevin Alano. I will have Betty
coordinate a meeting to review with you.
The current status of the PSU contract is a good question. At the last full steering committee Mitch announced
that this was a project between OCE and PSU, and DOC would serve as advisors. He said that he, Chane and
Mike did not have time for the scheduled meetings and that the 10-31-12 completion date was too
aggressive, He had no problem with extending the time line and letting OCE and PSU do the work. This was a
significant change of direction from the original plan in which Mitch was the leader of the steering team and
this was a collaborative effort. I assumed that you had been briefed on this change. It is impoliant to note that
this is not just my interpretation of what Mitch said but all OCE and PSU staff present acknowledged the
7
KIL_PSU_ 003852
change as well.
I subsequently met with Phil Keisling and his team and negotiated a no charge extension to the contract until
12-31-12. It was at this meeting that the PSU team expressed strong resistance to make the edits to phase 2
because they felt that it undern1ined the integrity of their project and was not consistent or aligned with the
original scope of work agreed to in the Phase 1 project outline report. Once the DOl investigation began I
cancelled the ongoing meetings with PSU but I have spoken with them about Phase 3 which would stari with
the survey that I mentioned at policy group.
The PSU team is still awaiting a final edit on phase 2. I suspended any edits to Phase 2 awaiting the conclusion
of the DOl investigation and direction from you. I believe that OCE's legal structure is flawed with
contradictions and lacks appropriate legal oversight and repOliing requirements. It's impOliant that you realize
that I don't care about OCE becoming a non-profit and I'm not part of an agenda for that. I understand and
respect that you do not want any legislative agenda this next session related to OCE. The conundrum that I am
in relates back to the PSU project in that I think that it makes the repOli disingenuous by not including
recommended changes to our laws. It is an obvious and needed recommendation that should be included. I
agree that there is no need to include any non-profit transfOl111ation language. In light of the current DOl
investigation and the extensive legal review that is most likely being done; I recommend that both DAS and
DOl be included in some capacity in the phase 3 report. Another thing that we need to consider at the
conclusion of the DOl investigation is having the Secretary of State's office audit OCE.
The move to the Dome is complete. I did not get connectivity to my computer until just last week in my office
as we are on a different system. All of us are finding it operationally difficult due to the physical distance from
the administrative hub of OCE. Business environments are very fast paced and require constant decision making
involving several people to be successfuL We are still trying to adjust to this new communication disconnect. It
is very important that we are constantly communicating as a team with each of our business managers and
general services staff so as to make key decisions daily. This is what has made OCE so successful over the
years. We will adapt and find a healthy balance.
I am scheduled for vacation next week. I will have Marie set up time to meet the week of November 26th. Have
a good Thanksgiving.
Thanks
Rob

Thank you Rob,
Thank you for terminating your contract with the two attorneys listed below. Are there other attorneys that you
have engaged with during your tenure? If so, will you share those names with DOl and me? I see that DOl has
requested the opinions provided by the outside counsel. Will you copy me on the email with the opinions
attached? When will you be able to gather all of that infOl111ation?

I would like myself or Mitch and Gary Sims in the meeting with Steve Wolf. Please work with Marie to
coordinate schedules.
Also, will you connect with Marie right away so that you can come brief Mitch and me on this situation. I'd
really like to staff this so that you can then collaborate with GECO and HR so that we are moving forward in a
strategic direction.
When we meet, as I mentioned last week in Policy Group, I'd also like an update on the current ULP, the
potential ULP from AOCE, and an update on where we are with the PSU contract. I would also like a status
update on your move to the Dome. I thought this was pennanent by now, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
If there is something we should have done or should be doing to make that move happen, please let Mitch
know.
Thank you,
Colette

Dear Rob,
This appears to be a survey from Portland state regarding the contract with
OCE/PSU.
If that is the case, I am asking you to contact PSU immediately and rescind this
survey, for at least two reasons. 1) We have not reconciled Phase 2 of this
project; and 2) some of the questions posed are outside the scope of the work we
have agreed upon and that were to be reconciled in the Phase 2 report.
I w ~ u l like you to contact me in person or by phone today to confirm that this

As an aside, I did receive your email of 5: 15 a week ago Friday and I am working

Hi Sara,

KIL_PSU_ 003869
I hope the holiday season has been going well for you. Attached is documentation of a recent incident involving Mitch
Morrow and two of my staff (Kevin Alano & Gary Kilmer). This probably does not pertain to the DOJ investigation but is
reflective of our current operating environment and I am bringing this forward as I have concerns with this situation.
I understand that Mitch has the right to provide coaching and direction to the OCE staff but I think that this particular
incident was extraordinary and inappropriately handled. Both employees are still appalled at Mitch's actions 10 days after
it occurred. A military style "dressing down" is not appropriate in todays work place.
I feel that this labor issue did not warrant the level of intensity and intimidation exhibited by Mitch towards Kevin and
Gary. I am concerned that Mitch is treating OCE staff differently than DOC staff for similar situations. As you may be
aware, DOC has had numerous labor issues over the years that resulted in ULP's, demand to bargains, and
grievances. Historically OCE has had a very good labor relationship reflected by no grievances over the past decade. In
the last several months we have had 3 ULP's and several demand to bargains filed by AOCE leadership. No OCE
employees have filed any issues.
I would appreciate an opportunity to discuss this and another matter with you at your convenience. You can reach me on
my cell phone at 503-551-1667. Have a happy New Year!
Thanks,
Rob

THE DRUMBEAT FOR SENTENCING REFORM
OREGON ALREADY BEAT THE DRUM
By: Doug Harcleroad
Senior Policy Advisor
OREGON HAS A LOWER INCARCERATION RATE THAN "REFORM" STATES
Recently, Newt Gingrich and Pat Nolan of the Right on Crime organization published an op-ed in the
Washington Times. They say that conservatives are lining up with liberals to save billions in prison costs by
passing refOlm legislation. They use four states as examples: Texas, Georgia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. All of
these so-called "refOlm" states have substantially higher incarceration rates than Oregon. According to
"Prisoners in 2010," the rates of incarceration per 1 00,000 individuals are:
TEXAS ........................ 648
GEORGIA .................. 550
OHIO .......................... 448
PENNSYL V ANIA. .... .403
OREGON .................. 361 (this includes some prisoners sentenced to one year or less)
COMPARING THE "REFORM" STATES TO OREGON
Not only are these states' incarceration rates substantially higher than Oregon's, but their "reforms" are things
Oregon has been doing for many years. Here is the "blow by blow" from the op-ed for each of the four states
compared to Oregon.
TEXASVSOREGON
From the article, "The conservative reform movement got its start in Texas in 2007 when state leaders decided
to scrap plans to build three more prisons and instead invest some of the money saved into treatment for
offenders with mental health issues or drug addiction. Overall, the state has avoided nearly $2 billion in prison
costs, and the crime rate is at the lowest level since 1973."
Oregon had been investing in alternative programs long before 2007. For example, Drug Courts were started in
the 1980s in Oregon. Sheriffs and community corrections directors have worked diligently on alternatives to
5
KIL_PSU_ 003871
incarceration since sentencing guidelines were legislatively adopted in 1989. What Oregon needs to do now is
to invest more in these evidence-based programs to reduce our low recidivism rate even further and thereby
avoid needing more prison beds.
GEORGIA VS OREGON
From the article, "Earlier this year, Gov. Nathan Deal of Georgia signed legislation that will reduce the number
of low-level drug possession offenders in prison and will expand the use of drug cOUlis that emphasize
accountability for the drug users. This conservative, cost-effective approach has enjoyed remarkable success in
reducing drug use by participants, at far less cost than imprisomnent. This legislation united left and right,
passing the legislature unanimously."
Oregon doesn't put low-level drug possession offenders in prison. Under our sentencing guidelines legislatively
adopted in 1989, they are placed on probation and given treatment in many counties unless there is no money
for the treatment. Once again, Oregon needs to invest more in evidence-based programs to help these offenders
be successful.
OHIO VS OREGON
From the article, "Last year, Ohio Gov. John Kasich led a reform eff01i that reserves costly prison beds for
violent and repeat offenders while beefing up community supervision of nonviolent offenders, holding them
accountable and putting them on track to becoming law-abiding, productive citizens. The state will save $50
million over the next three years, helping close the state's budget shmifal1."
Oregon has always reserved our prison beds for violent offenders and repeat property and repeat drug sellers
and manufacturers. About 70% of felons in Oregon are there for violent crimes. Prisons in Oregon have a lower
percentage of property and drug offenders than in any other state. In short, we are way ahead of Ohio.
However, we do need to "beef up" community corrections by investing money in evidence-based programs
which will keep offenders from going to prison.
PENNSYLVANIA VS OREGON
From the article, "In October, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett signed bipartisan legislation that directs more
low-level, nonviolent offenders into community supervision, which requires frequent drug testing and swift
sanctions to keep participants on the straight and narrow. The state will save $250 million in corrections costs
over the next five years. .
Oregon doesn't send low-level non-violent offenders to prison. This was dramatically shown when the recent
Govemor's Commission was presented with data that about 850 individuals in prison were low-risk offenders.
After pushing for the offender list, Commission member and Clackamas County District Attorney, John Foote,
distributed the list to the district attomeys in the state. They analyzed these so-called "low-risk" offenders.
Aggravated murderers and other serious violent offenders were on the list. One newspaper article called the list
"chilling." In addition, Oregon only incarcerates about 25% of convicted felony offenders in prison. The
remaining 75% stay in the community on probation. Once again, Oregon needs to invest more in these
probationers through evidence-based practices, so they are successful and are not revoked and sent to prison.
OREGON IS A LEADING SENTENCING "REFORM" STATE ALREADY
Oregon passed sentencing guidelines in 1989, a long time ago. My memory is that only about 15% of convicted
felons went to prison under the guidelines and many of them for very short sentences. For example, a conviction
fot Rape in the first degree would get a rapist as little as 34 to 36 months in prison, with 20% off for "eamed
time." The public, through the initiative process, has modified the guidelines twice; now some selected
sentences for the worst offenders, including the rapist, are longer and have minimum mandatory-time
requirements. Remember, we still only incarcerate in prison about 25% of the felons, and the national average is
40%.
In short, Oregon did sentencing "reform" long ago and doesn't need to do it again. What Oregon needs to do is
invest in evidence-based practices, evaluate the programs rigorously, and thereby help the high risk for re-
offense offenders, who are on supervision in our communities.

You guys may find this report interesting. Some of Colettes findings and recommendations may be of use in the
phase 3 report as a "case study". Colette was the DOC Inspector General that oversaw this investigation. Of
patiicular interest is the recommendation on page 22, 2nd paragraph in which it is recommended that
"Executive management should request an outside authority or agency to review the investigation and its
findings; to insure the objectivity of the review, to model transparent business practices and to lend legitimacy
to the report". It appears that Colette's philosophy has changed somewhat since then.

Thanks, Rob. The thumb drive will be very helpful. I am also sending similar requests to the firms
themselves, on which you will be copied, to try to ensure that we scoop everything up.
I agree that performing a contract template review is a good idea. I understand that Susan Amesbury,
OCE's contact counsel, has started that process at Darla Rice's request. I recommend continuing to use
Susan as the point of contact for that project. Among other things, she is far more learned than I am

Thanks again.

Hi Steve,
I received your correspondence today requesting all documentation relating to the unauthorized use of
outside counsel. We are gathering the information and should have it to you by the end of the week. I will
have it organized on a thumb drive into the following categories:
1. Bryant emails
2. Zagar emails

4. Invoices
I would like to request a review of all OCE contracts as your schedule permits. We have utilized various
boiler plates provided by Paul Weddle over the years and I would like to insure that they are still legally
current. This will obviously provide us with a risk assessment as well as educating the assigned counsel
on our business operations.
Thanks,

Michael and Sara:
I wanted to share with you, as background, our final version of our Phase 2 deliverable for Rob Killgore and
OCE. I wanted to send it to you as prelude to what we'll soon be transmitting to OCE with respect to our final
deliverable, our Phase 3 report.
The purpose of Phase 2 was simply to identify potential strategic opportunities; the Phase 3 document will make
actual recommendations. As I shared with you earlier, our initial draft of Phase 2 raised quite a ruckus with
DOC leadership, because we felt obliged to identify as a potential recommendation, some kind of independent
board or outside oversight group for OCE's substantial operations ($50 million/biennium).
DOC leadership has made abundantly clear to us their displeasure about our even examining this particular
subject. We have infonned them that even irour actual client (OCE) asked us to steer clear of this particular
question, we wouldn't necessarily do so, if we felt it relevant and material to our work.
As you also know, there are other dynamics swirling around the OCE/DOC relationship. But suffice it to say
that when the CPS crew finalized Phase 2 -- and we did stand our ground viz. the independent board/oversight
group discussion -- we simply transmitted the final version to OCE. If DOC asks for this Phase 2 document, I
expect OCE will gladly offer it up (though that may prompt another round of ruckus). But absent their asking,
OCE and we prefer to concentrate on getting the Phase III report done -- and have the conversation then revolve
around that, rather than revisit the preliminaries.
In the meanwhile, though, I thought you might be interested in the Phase 2 report for your own information. Our
Phase 3 draft report should be done in the next 7-10 days, and our current thinking is to then share that with
DOC and other key stakeholders (including DAS). While I suspect that our final recommendations will not be
met with universal acclaim by all, at least at that point a robust discussion can revolve around actual
recOlmnendations for going forward.
Thanks, and I'm happy to provide any more background on this, should you wish.

Subject: Results of Oregon DOJ criminal investigation into allegations relating to Oregon Corrections Enterprises and
Oregon Department of Corrections
Greetings,
On October 8, 2012, the Criminal Justice Division of the Oregon Department of Justice opened
an investigation into allegations of misconduct occurring in the Director?s Office of the Oregon
Depmiment of Corrections (DOC). Generally, the allegations were that the Director?s Office of
DOC had misused funds from Oregon Corrections Enterprises (OCE) over a ten year period.
I am writing to notify you we have concluded our investigation and that we did not find
sufficient evidence to prove criminal misconduct beyond a reasonable doubt.
As a courtesy, attached you will find our declination memorandum in this case. This
memorandum summarizes the allegations, the investigation, and our legal analysis.

numerous reasons that we can discuss at your convenience.

Hello Steve?
We?ve reconsidered OCE?s long term business needs and propose the four points listed below as
settlement to AOCE UP -058-12. Part of an informal discussion between Rob Killgore, myself, Mike
Van Patten, and Nick Koval on Jan 10
th
included an option to temporarily duty assign one of our
Furniture Factory Production Coordinators at CCCF to help facilitate the pilot program. We dropped
consideration of that option as it didn?t meet our long term need.
We assume AOCE will be most amenable to # 1, # 3, and # 4. Regarding # 2, Article 8, Contracting
(p 8) of our CBA reads, in part, ?The Employer may determine to contract or subcontract work provided that
as to work
which is presently and regularly pelformed by employees in the bargaining unit, the Employer agrees to notifY
the Association and negotiate the decision and the impact of the pending action. ... ? Our CBA still lists an
?Education Programs Coordinator (EPC)? ? Job Group 9, and the last employee holding that
10
KIL_PSU_ 003883
classification was terminated under trial service in 2007. I attached the position description for the
EPC to give you the sense of its ?essential duties? (see page 2). The training curriculum
development we will seek from a new contract wi AFL-CIO is higher level work than the
EPC. Currently we also have a non-represented program manager who holds active licensure with
State of Oregon, Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC) with three vocational
endorsements that allow him ?to teach in grades 7 through 12 in a state-approved career and
technical education program.? This individual has designed training curriculum for our other
businesses, but does not have the vocational trades? background.
Our bottom line is that #2 is an essential element of this settlement, i.e., OCE won?t take action on #
1, # 3, or # 4 without it.
1. Cancel Contract #5604: Terminate the current contract wi AFL-CIO effective March 12, 2013
(30-day notice, Art 4, #5604 ? Assuming a February 11th ?notice of intent to terminate?).
2. Draft New Contract wi AFL-CIO: New contract (1) AFL-CIO develops & updates trades
training curriculum, (2) allows OCE to deliver trade specific training curriculum with certified
instructional staff, and (3) AFL-CIO coordinates the scheduling of specialty trades
journeymen during delivery of training curriculum as guest speaker to coach, mentor & introduce
of trade labor organizations to participating inmates as re-entry assistance for post release
employment. Inmate supervision will be performed by OCE staff who will facilitate the guest
speaker program.
3. Hire Vocational Instructor (CCCF): OCE Administrator exercises authority per ORS
421.305(1 )(g) to offer a direct appointment employment offer to the incumbent AFL-CIO
employee currently delivering the Pilot Program training at CCCF. Position will be
represented by AOCE (see para 4 below).
4. Creation of Vocational Instructor position (AOCE-OCE CSA): Will be bargained w/ AOCE to
be included in the bargaining unit at a proposed ?Job Group 11? level for compensation.
Minimum qualifications will include teaching and/or instructional credentials required for the
training curriculum offered. Training curriculums are not static and will be based on OCE?s ability
to fund and Oregon?s employment needs.
We?1I see you tomorrow at 9:00am here at our office. Thanks

endorsements that allow him ?to teach in grades 7 through 12 in a state-approved career and
technical education program.? This individual has designed training curriculum for our other
businesses, but does not have the vocational trades? background.
Our bottom line is that #2 is an essential element of this settlement, i.e., OCE won?t take action on #
1, # 3, or # 4 without it.
1. Cancel Contract #5604: Terminate the current contract wI AFL-CIO effective March 12, 2013
(30-day notice, Art 4, #5604 ? Assuming a February 11th ?notice of intent to terminate?).
2. Draft New Contract wI AFL-CIO: New contract (1) AFL-CIO develops & updates trades
training curriculum, (2) allows OCE to deliver trade specific training curriculum with certified
instructional staff, and (3) AFL-CIO coordinates the scheduling of specialty trades
journeymen during delivery of training curriculum as guest speaker to coach, mentor & introduce
of trade labor organizations to participating inmates as re-entry assistance for post release
employment. Inmate supervision will be performed by OCE staff who will facilitate the guest
speaker program.
3. Hire Vocational Instructor (CCCF): OCE Administrator exercises authority per ORS

Department of Corrections' relationship rocky with agency that

aCE struggling financially in relationship with
Mar. 6, 20135:31 AM, I
Written by
Hannah Hoffman
Statesman Journal
Two reports show that Oregon Corrections Enterprises is struggling, both financially and in its
relationship with the Department of Corrections.
KIL_PSU_ 003888
As a result, both agencies are making changes to the way they are organized and the way they do
business with each other.
OCE is a semi-independent state agency that employs prison inmates in Oregon to make furniture,
run call centers and do industrial laundry, per a 1994 constitutional amendment that requires inmates
to work full time while they?re incarcerated. It operates inside corrections facilities; the corrections
director hires the head of OCE, but otherwise, they are separate entities.
A report from the Department of Justice explored complaints from aCE Administrator Robert Killgore,
who claimed corrections was making inappropriate financial requests of his agency and pressuring
him and other administrators into doing favors for corrections officials.
Investigators found no criminal behavior from anyone in corrections, and even dismissed some of
Killgore?s concerns. But they did conclude the two agencies have a problematic relationship with a
lack of oversight for OCE and a culture among corrections officials of taking advantage of OCE funds
by making questionable demands for ?goodwill gestures.?
Meanwhile, Portland State University?s Center for Public Service released an audit of OCE, which
showed its manufacturing job programs were hemorrhaging money, although highly profitable service
jobs were mostly making up the difference.
It suggested OCE expand its operations to the Oregon State Hospital, Oregon Youth Authority and
local jails, as well as noting that the roles of both agencies need to be clarified as they work together.
Corrections Director Colette Peters has asked for an internal investigation into the allegations listed in
the attorney general?s report. OCE spokeswoman Betty Bernt declined any comment on the findings
until the that investigation had been completed.
OCE?s Killgore could not be reached for comment.
Peters said an internal investigation is routine any time a staff member is accused of criminal
behavior, even if none is ultimately found.
Bumjoon Park and Shannon Kmetic, the senior assistant attorney generals who wrote the
investigation report, said Killgore alleged that corrections directed his agency to make improper
expenses in four areas: infrastructure and security, supplies, donations and goodwill gestures, and
personnel costs.
They specifically named former Director Max Williams and Deputy Director Mitch Morrow in several
allegations.
Morrow declined comment on the findings in the report.

KIL_PSU_ 003889
Justice investigators disagreed with Killgore that many of those expenses were inappropriate, but it
did say there was a ?culture? within corrections where it was considered normal to ask OCE to pay
for things it shouldn?t have to and to expect favors and ?goodwill gestures? that were out of line.
In fact, Killgore made reference to the OCE being a ?slush fund? for corrections officials.
Peters said it had traditionally been up to prison superintendents and OCE officials to decide who
paid for what, but since the complaint was filed, corrections has formalized the process for making
those agreements to avoid any inappropriate requests.
In addition, the entire department and OCE are going through an organizational review, she said,
which should address some of the problems with oversight of OCE. The justice investigators listed
lack of oversight specifically as a major concern.
As far as the recommendations from the PSU audit, Peters disagreed with an idea to move
manufacturing under the umbrella of corrections but supported the other suggestions.
She said the department is looking for ways to collect data that could show a ?return on investment?
for prison work, which was suggested by PSU researchers. That would include statistics such items
as how many inmates had found work after prison and their levels of education.
Further, she said she supported expanding OCE operations and had been asking the agency for an
expansion plan for more than year.
Peters said that in spite of the two negative reports and related problems, the OCE is highly valuable
because it is self-sufficient and requires no tax dollars while providing real, meaningful work
experience for inmates.
?The structure as it stands today has been very effective over the past ten years,? she said. ?Having
someone sweeping in the kitchen is very different than having them figure out how to work in a call
center.?

The inmate welfare fund is a trust set up for the inmates (belongs to inmates) but the money allocation is done
by the doc exec. Team not the legislature or an independent board as it should be. You will see recent one time
expenditure allocations. This was done because they found that they are making so much off of the new inmate
phone program that they felt that they needed to spend it or fear losing it to the legislature.
I will send you another email that has attachments of revenue generating activities in the institutions. It has a
spreadsheet that outlines hundreds of these activities some with cash balances of $20k. A lot of these are
accounted for in notebooks and dealt in cash.
Thanks
Rob

This is an interesting piece. It shows the failure of the GED program at DOC. If you take all of the b.s. out of it
and simply compare the dollars spent to the GED issued, they have been spending over $7000 per inmate. Not
to mention over $4 million in non completes.

Meanwhile, the DOC LG. has stopped an internal investigation -- just because a lawsuit was filed (that could

Mike -- yes, the angle of the "Former Mentor, now speaking on the record in less than flattering ways" is
especially interesting here. I don't know Nick, but does this mean that he's one of the "rare ones" who was in the
system, and got pretty high up, but always did things "right" as opposed to buying into this awful culture? Or is
he just another kind of DOC manager, and this is more personal than it is a matter of management integrity?
I have spent enough time now with John Foote (who was there from 1990-95 I believe) to make him
comfOliable sharing things with me on a confidential basis. He's fairly disliked by many (including here at
PSU), and at a recent community forum here at PSU on public safety reform he took a pretty pugnacious, "I'm
going to tell you the truth you don't want to hear" tack as a part of a panel with DeMuniz (they REALL Y don't
like each other); Chris Garrett (say nothing); Andy Olson (say nothing, more pleasantly); and Colette (why is
she even here?). John ended up feeling he shouldn't have come (and it showed!), and it was too bad the
Willamette Week story came out the day AFTER rather than the day before ...
(If Les were a more enterprising repOlier, he would have called the former DOC IG/interim director and said,
"You know, I found it kind of funny that the IG stopped this investigation because of a lawsuit filed -- is that
how you would have handled it?:)
But he knows the DOC culture, and many of the players -- so I've gotten a few insights from him. One is about
how Max (and of course Colette) really took away the IG's independence (I'm sure at Mitch's urging). He thinks
the system has really suffered for that. He also had the same reaction to the way Collette fired Rob; couldn't
believe it, especially the way it happened, and shared that at a meeting with CUliis R on other matters he asked
directly about how they were going to defend themselves in THAT lawsuit. (CUliis evaded, he said). He's also
no fan of Ben DeHahn, for whatever that's worth -- "very bright, but ruthless .... "
John K's lack of interest in good management is just dismaying. And since Michael Jordan hasn't return a call or
an email since the OCE report, I'm increasingly reaching the conclusion you have: that he either can't (or won't
try, really) to change that.
1
KIL_PSU_ 003898
And JK's "Governor's staff' -- anyone there who isn't under 40; and does anyone have REAL management
experience, vs. lots of policy experience? -- wasn't exactly picked to fill in for his self-perceived deficiencies in
the management arena? (Does he even think in those terms; probably not, he's been the "smartest guy in the
room" for so long, he can apply "political acumen" to those issues .... )
But let's you and I not give up (much as I have my moments of doubt, too). This stuff matters, and increasingly
will matter. And left untended, the current approach will increasingly cause problems for this administration in
all SOlis of different ways (not just at DOC, but especially in the world of education!).

I saw this on Oregon Live yesterday, probably in print tomorrow or the weekend.
It IS surprising that Nick is speaking "outside the family" although he and Rob are close. DOC
is filled with people who could tell Mitch stOl:ies.
According to Rob W &M is staying away from OCE in budget hearings.
Everyone seems to be signed up for the "if it isn't illegal it doesn't matter" test. I am a concerned
that the Administration appears to be untroubled by the budget, operational, structural, authority,
judgement, ethical and policy problems. Collet has the skills to deal with this the same way I
have bee-keeping skills.
I think it is fair to say that Ted K finished off any management potential that remained in Oregon
Government institutions and that John is armed exclusively with political expediency tools and
navigation.

They didn't vet Colette good enough before her appointment. Now they have a doc director that has been
deemed umeliable as a witness on record .... that will come back to haunt the gov as her testimony will be
questioned for anything if this goes public. I hope everything is going well for you. Tell Phil hello for me. We
should go to lunch or coffee one of these days. Take care.

Sorry to keep bugging you Les but I wanted to make sure that you got all of the documents so I attached them to
this email. This is interesting when you consider that it is basically over a 4 year period. I'm pretty sure that
nobody has put this pattern together yet on the government side because of the leadership transitions with the
Gov, DAS, and DOJ. More thorough investigation may find more cases. These are interesting because the state
is losing them which means that they are wrongful discharges. Page 24 of the Gill arbitration is interesting in
that it points out that Colette was not a credible witness. I guess Colette's motto is "fire them and let the cOUlis
SOli it out" ...
Thanks,
Rob

Document: OCE's change of administrator review
An internal audit released by the Depatiment of Corrections Wednesday shows that several conflicts of interest
existed in contracts approved by the former head of the agency that manages Oregon's prison industries.
DOC Director Colette Peters ordered the audit after firing Oregon Corrections Enterprises Director Rob
Killgore in March. The "change of administrator review" was designed to verify that Killgore's dismissal had
been handled properly and that the agency's contracts were compliant with state rules.
Killgore was fired following a Department of Justice investigation into the department that he initiated. He has
sued the department for retaliating against a whistleblower, but Peters said she fired him for flouting her
directions regarding the future of OCE and its programs.
It found no problems with Killgore's exit from the agency, but identified three conflicts of interest in the
contracts. Investigators said each incident benefited a member ofthe OCE Advisory Council.
Problems arose in each of the following contracts:
OCE entered into a potential public-private patinership agreement with laundry service Ecotex and asked
avisory council member Neil Bryant to provide a legal analysis and opinion on the issues sunounding the
agreement. OCE paid Bryant's firm $9,401.50 for the opinion and Bryant quit the council five days after Ecotex
requested the potential partnership.
OCE entered into an interagency agreement with POliland State University that cost $165,000. An advisory
council member quit the day the agreement was signed and went to work for the PSU review team.
OCE allowed council member and AFL-CIO official Mark Warne to design and implement a program at
Coffee Creek Conectional Institution, which cost $10,714.29 per month for 14 months, a total of $150,000.
Warne resigned from the council 6 days after the agreement for the program was signed.
The auditors recommended that OCE further review its contracts and create advisory council bylaws.

Colette & Mitch knowingly lied if they signed off on that audit. This email clearly shows they knew that you
were not involved. I have attached a scan of the original for you. Just so you know, I have similar evidence for
everything else in their audit.

I spoke with Phil Keisling about the PSU contract and he understands the situation. First of all, Mike will not work on this
project with PSU. Both Mike & Phil are in agreement on this. We have put the project on hold until you are able to meet
with him in early March. He understands that we will most likely revise the scope of the project and some of its language
but he hopes that we will keep it in place. I informed him that both of you are very interested in evolving the organization
but you would like some time to work through how and what we do. He is willing to meet earlier but I told him that you are
both quite busy with the legislative session and dealing with the budget dilemma. Phil reinforced that they are open as to
how this project is approached. Please call if you have any questions:
Thanks,
Rob

,Attached you will find emails that document that Colette & Mitch participated in the use of Neil Bryant on the
Ecotex deal.

Bryant and contracting with PSU.

I took a look at the Change of Director audit just released by DOC and covered in the SJ.
I was surprised by the "Conflict of Interest" findings. Do you know of any standard that any of us violated?

Kitzhaber's Top Columbia River Crossing Adviser,
Patricia McCaig, Under Ethics Investigation

McCaig, Columbia River Crossing, Gov . .Tohn Kitmaber

The Oregon Government Ethics Commission today voted to formally investigate potential ethics law
violations by Gov. John Kitzhaber's top adviser on the Columbia River Crossing.
Patricia McCaig, who orchestrated Kitzhaber's successful push to get the now-defunct $3.5 billion project
through the Oregon Legislature, is being investigated for the possible violation of eight ethics laws, a
preliminary review obtained by WW says.
The report says McCaig may have violated laws against conflicts of interest and failing to register as a lobbyist.
"There appears to be a substantial objective basis to believe that violations of the Oregon Government
Ethics law and Oregon Lobbying Regulation law may have occurred," says the report, made public after a
Friday morning executive session, during which the commission voted unanimously to pursue the allegations
against McCaig. McCaig was present when the commission voted.
McCaig, 58, was the focus of a Feb. 27 WW cover story. WW repOlied that, while McCaig holds the title of
Kitzhaber's top adviser, her paychecks are signed by the CRC's biggest contractor, David Evans and Associates,
which would have profited by the proj ect going forward. McCaig has been paid more than $417,000 at a billing
rate of $90 an hour.
McCaig also billed for hundre<;is of hours of work she did to convince lawmakers to approve the CRC, but never
registered as a lobbyist, as the law requires.
Despite McCaig's success in Oregon, Washington senators rejected a transpOliation bill that included funding
for the CRC on June 28. That same day, Kitzhaber and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee issued statements saying
the project will be stopped.
However, the Oregon Government Ethics Commission investigation will continue.
Two people filed complaints about McCaig with the ethics commission in March, following WW's story. The
commission's preliminary review finds that McCaig may have created a conflict of interest by working for both
the governor and the David Evans and Associates.
"Ms. McCaig may have paIiicipated in official actions, decisions or recommendations that could have resulted
in financial benefits or avoidance of financial detriments to her or a business with which she is associated," the
repOli says.
The repOli also finds that McCaig may have needed to register as a lobbyist, and may also have broken the law
by not filing an Annual Verified Statement of Economic Interest with the ethics commission in 2011,2012 and
2013.
"It appears Ms. McCaig may have been a lobbyist," the report says.
According to the report, McCaig refuted the allegations. She said she never talked to or wrote legislative or
executive officials "to influence or attempt to influence legislative action." McCaig instead writes that she only
worked on a legislative strategy and provided factual infOlmation to lawmakers.

KIL_PSU_ 003921
However, the review notes that McCaig's own contract with David Evans and Associates indicates that the
CRC, the Oregon and Washington departments oftranspOliation and DEA "were apparently to receive
assistance in gaining a legislative result."
Oregon Government Ethics Commission Executive Director Ron Bersin says investigators will finish their work
within 180 days.

To All OCE Staff:
With the change of OCE administrator in March, the Department of Conections Audit
Committee asked DOC Internal Audits to conduct a change of administrator review (attached).
The OCE administrator sits on the DOC Audit Committee.
The Internal Audit team modeled its review on the Secretary of State Audit Division's procedure
for a change of administrator audit (as described in ORS 297.210(2)).
The audit reviewed six elements:
1. Former administrator's employment history
2. Access to assets
3. Access to computer systems
4. Travel and reimbursements
5. Payroll and severance
6. Contracts
The auditors found no issues with items 1 through 5, but did find potential conflicts of interest
and other issues relating to recent OCE contracts. I have asked the Secretary of State Audits
Division to conduct a follow up audit on these issues.

This audit repOli comes at an important time for our organization as we are thoughtfully
incorporating the work we are doing with Mass Ingenuity in focusing our effOlis on evaluating
our current govemance structure, roles, and processes to address potential risks identified
through the discovery. In March, OCE began phase one of our one-year plan to complete an
OCE business assessment, develop an implementation plan, and deploy our new strategies
designed to establish a new and improved operating model and better align with our mission.
In the end, OCE will have a viable business plan built on best practices and stronger
relationships with our partners. I look forward to working alongside you to build a stronger OCE.
Sincerely,
Ken Jeske
Administrator

Construction program at women's prison in Oregon provides hope
Daily Journal of Commerce (Portland, OR) - Friday, July 5,2013
Author: Inka 8ajandas
Heather Duncan almost forgets where she is when she's helping build a house inside a cavernous
workspace at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility.
Instead of staying idle while serving time at the women's prison in Wilsonville, Duncan, 35, said she
prefers to join other inmates in the Small Tools construction program.
"In here, we don't feel like we are in prison," she said.
Duncan is among 24 inmates enrolled in the four-month Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries
certified pre-apprenticeship construction program. They are the second class to go through the
course, which started this past November through a partnership between Oregon Corrections
Enterprises, a state agency that provides jobs and vocational training to inmates, and the Oregon
AFL-CIO federation of unions.
"This program gives you something you can bring into the world," Duncan said. "Since I've beenin\"it,
I've had so many dreams. It means a lot to me."
Oregon building industry union members help teach the course and see it as a way to recruit more
. women with construction experience into their paid apprenticeship programs. As long as the Coffee
Creek inmates show promise and a strong work ethic, being a felon won't stop them from finding
employment in the construction industry upon release, union representatives said.
Mark Warne, Oregon AFL-CIO labor liaison, was instrumental in starting Small Tools at Coffee
Creek. He said the course helps inmates learn whether they can handle construction labor and which
trade may be the best fit. Small Tools participants also gain advantageous knowledge and work
experience, he added.
"They're pretty close to being job-ready," Warne said. "They're doing things that they never thought
they could do, like installing doors (and) hanging shingles."
Warne, who served on an advisory board for OCE, said he modeled the program after one he tried to
get off the ground when he worked for the Colorado Department of Corrections.
"I said, I want to go with something that will give (inmates) real work experience and lead to a job" he
said.
A career in construction is an appealing opportunity for a woman recently released from prison,
Warne said. Along with living expenses, many have to pay restitution and for drug treatment or child
support, he said.
"It provides a real living-wage job to someone who is on parole," Warne said. "Most of these women
3
KIL_PSU_ 003929
are coming out being head of household."
Enthusiasm building at Coffee Creek
Small Tools is the most popular vocational program at Coffee Creek, which also offers textile and
computer-aided drawing courses, aCE General Manager Dave Conway said. The first class of 16
inmates graduated from the program in March, and one graduate, released in May, has already been
offered a spot in a carpentry apprenticeship program, Conway said.
He said that without advertising he's already received 30 applications for 24 slots in the programs
next session, which will start in August.
"We're really, really excited about this program," Conway said.
Autumn Warren, 37, one of the inmates taking the course, said word spread quickly through Coffee
Creek about the opportunity.
"Everybody in the rest of the prison is so hyped up about it and asking about it," she said. "The way
we talk about it they're like, Wow. They're actually doing something."
The course gives inmates a general overview of the building trades, including basic training in
carpentry, electrical wiring, roofing, insulation, painting and flooring, Conway said. By the end of four
months, participants earn 256 hours of hands-on training that can be applied toward entrance in a
building trade apprenticeship, he said.
To qualify for the program, inmates must be approaching their release date, possess a high school
diploma or GED and have at least six months of good behavior. Preference is given to inmates who
have a high risk of reoffending upon release.
The program is intended to show inmates that they can find rewarding and high-paying construction
jobs and don't need to turn back to crime, Conway said.
"We want to target those women," he said.
Bringing construction inside walls
Setting inmates out on a meaningful career path has been worth the trouble of setting up a
construction program inside a prison, Conway said.
While giving a tour of the workshop, he pointed out a storage closet where the spot for each tool is
outlined in red. If one of those red marks is empty at the end of class, the inmates are searched until
the missing tool is found, Conway said.
The program hasn't experienced any disciplinary problems, he added.
Warne said an added benefit of the Small Tools program is that it encourages good behavior because
inmates must maintain clear conduct to stay in it.
4
KIL_PSU_ 003930
"If you keep an inmate busy, they stay out of trouble," he said.
Along with securing tools, program officials had to consider how to avoid sparks from power saws
setting off the prison's fire alarms, Conway said. To solve this problem, aCE got permission from
Coffee Creek to build a fenced outdoor area where inmates can cut wood safely, he said.
Warne said he was pleased at how closely the Coffee Creek workshop resembles a real construction
job site.
"We were able to bring a lot of tools that we were surprised we were able to bring in," he said. "(The
inmates) were working with tools that are deadly, but you can't give them the experience if you don't
put the tools in their hands."
Experience leads to confidence
Course instructor Jen Netherwood worked as a carpenter remodeling homes for eight years before
she started teaching at Coffee Creek six months ago.
She said the inmates realize the value of the program and take it seriously.
"I don't see anybody trying to cut corners and cheat; they really are wanting to get as much out of it
as they can," she said.
The first unit of the course is construction math, which intimidates many of thewomen who haven't
been in school for a while, Netherwood said. After a few days, doubts of their abilities dissipate, she
said.
"They're surprised to see thatthey can do the math," Netherw00d said. "The first time they actually
put anything together, then that's just the icing on the cake."
The women also learn how to work as a team and solve problems creatively, she said.
Netherwood teaches two four-hour classes that are a mix of classroom time and hands-on practice.
Many of the women come back after their class ends to keep working, she said. One of her goals is to
make the prison workshop feel as professional and true to life as possible.
"My job is to show what it's like and how you have to act on a construction site," she said. "So much
about teaching construction is teaching people how to think, going from a blueprint to a 3-D building."
In her classes, Netherwood said she places huge emphasis on work ethic.
"When you get on the job site the number one thing that the crew of mostly men want to know is are
you there to work hard?" she said.
Each class is building two 8-foot-by-1 O-foot houses to test their skills. The houses are collapsible so
they can be transported to the aCE headquarters in Salem, where they are reassembled by male
inmates, Conway said. A couple of nonprofit organizations in Eugene have expressed interest in
using the houses as housing for homeless individuals, he said.
Duncan said building the houses makes the course more valuable.
s
KIL_PSU_ 003931
"I like that we have a class and then we get to do it hands-on and we feel like we're accomplished
something when we're done," she said.
Tricia Haslett, 31, said she feels just like any other construction student.
"They're willing to not judge us as felons," she said. "Who knew we'd be able to walk around wearing
tool belts?"
Haslett said she's amazed at how much she's learned.
"It gave me a lot of confidence," she said. "I can build a house."
Warren said she hadn't realized what she was capable of until she took the course.
"I underestimated my ability," she said. "That just opens it up for so many things."
Warren added that she believes construction jobs will be available for her and other program
graduates.
,
"We've lucked out on the timing," she said. "Now things are starting to boom again with the
economy."
Prospects after time in prison
Netherwood said she believes Small Tools graduates have a good chance of landing
apprenticeships.
"I really do see qualified candidates in here right now," she said.
Bridget Quinn, a journeyman electrician and workforce development coordinator with the NECA-
IBEW Electrical Training Center in Portland, helped teach the inmates the basics of electrical work.
She said her union was happy to help out with the Small Tools program.
"We see it as reaching out to a demographic," Quinn said. "We would like to see more women in our
apprenticeship program."
She said NECA-IBEW becomes more interested in taking on someone as an apprentice when the
person has completed a pre-apprenticeship program like the one at Coffee Creek.
"We invest a lot into our apprenticeships; we give them scholarships," Quinn said. "Someone who has
gone through a pre-apprenticeship program has insights into what construction work is like.
Completing a pre-apprenticeship program shows that they're determined."
Apprenticeship programs offered through the Pacific Northwest Carpenters Institute in Portland have
a 40 percent drop-out rate, carpentry instructor Miguel Montano said. So, apprenticeship applicants
I
who are familiar with the demands of construction are appealing, he said.
Passion and interest also are important, Montano said. He said he's seen plenty while teaching at
Coffee Creek.
6
KIL_PSU_ 003932
"At first, it was just something else that we did as far as recruitment, but when I saw the way the
program was being run and the goals that they had I personally started to care for it quite a bit,"
Montano said. "I felt that I wanted to come back because (the inmates) were just so excited.
"A lot of them were saying, & If I had known there were opportunities like this out there I wouldn't be
here," he added. "It's also learning there's other ways to make a living."
Bob Calwhite, director of the Pacific Northwest Carpenters Institute, said that inmates in the Small
Tools program, if motivated, should be able to find construction jobs after they're released. Being a
felon won't be an issue, he said.
"These are people who made a mistake and if they want to better themselves they should be able to,"
Calwhite said. "In our industry, it doesn't matter if you're hard-working. The biggest thing is for them to
be up front about (being a felon)."
Glimpses of a possible future
Visits to the prison by union construction professionals who were once inmates at Coffee Creek are
an especially powerful reminder for the women in the Small Tools program that an industry career is a
real possibility, Netherwood said.
"I can tell (the inmates) look at these women differently because they've been through this before,"
she said... '4\
Conway said an inmate at the programs first graduation in March said she'd been homeless most of
her life and now knew how to build a home.
"That sent a chill down my spine," he said. "I think we realized we were on to something special."
Duncan said she's grateful that the Small Tools program will make it easier to find work after she's
released from prison.
"This kind of eases the transition," she said.
Bell Anderson, 26, said her first goal after getting out of prison is finding a job.
She hadn't considered seeking a job in construction until enrolling in the Small Tools program. Now
she dreams about becoming an electrician.
"One of the biggest pressures when you're a parolee is: How do I get a job?" Anderson said. "I never
would have thought it feasible, and now I feel 100 percent confident that I'll be able to work in
construction when I get out."
It's nice to have hope, she said.
"From the time I got in that's all I've wanted, was to get a job," Anderson said. "I just feel optimistic,
and optimism is hard to come by here. I have a plan."

Department of Corrections addresses negative audit

Document: OCE's change of administrator review
The agency that manages Oregon's inmate worker program has requested an audit of itself from the Secretary
of State's office in response to an unflattering internal repOli released last week that found several conflicts of
interest in agency contracts.
At the same time, Department of Corrections Director Colette Peters said Oregon C011'ections Enterprises, the
inmate worker program, has been included in a department-wide review and restructuring, which she said
should solve many ofthe communication and relational problems between the depmiment and its partner
agency.
"Traditionally, we've lived in silos," Peters said, and that's about to come to an end. It's time to expect the
department's divisions and OCE to all work collaboratively, she said.
"OCE has had its trials and tribulations, but we have a lot to work with," Peters said.
The past six months have revealed a series of problems between the DOC and OCE, which is a semi-
independent agency that is expected to be self-sustaining but whose administrator answers to the DOC director.
Peters fired former OCE Administrator Robert Killgore ShOlily after the Dep[tliment of Justice investigation
into the depmiment, which Killgore had initiated, although Peters said the firing and investigation were not
linked.
Killgore contended that the C011'ections Department was asking his agency to pay for items it shouldn't, as well
as bullying leaders into hiring people they didn't want. He said DOC officials were using OCE as a "slush fund"
and accused DOC Deputy Director Mitch Morrow of forcing Killgore's agency to hire and give a raise to
M011'0w's son.
The investigation found no criminal activity but did express concern about the relationship between corrections
and Oregon C011'ections Enterprises.
Peters hired Ken Jeske, 46, to replace Killgore. He started July 1, coming to the DOC from the Oregon Youth
Authority, where he was the administrator of its professional standards office. She also ordered an internal
"management review" of OCE after Killgore left to make sure everything was operating correctly and prepare
for Jeske's entry.
(Page 2 of2)
The review found no problems with Killgore's exit from the agency, but identified three conflicts of interest in
the contracts. Investigators said some of the contracts Killgore approved contained conflicts of interest because
they benefited members of the OCE advisory council.
The council has no decision-making power and serves to advise the OCE administrator on policies concerning
the operation of the agency. It consists of at least three members, who represent the banking and finance
industry, organized labor and private industry.
9
KIL_PSU_ 003935
Jeske said .he has asked the Secretary of State's audit division to do a thorough review of OCE, including the
conflicts of interest and all the other policies and procedures currently in place.
It is meant to be a thoughtful, systematic response "rather than a knee-jerk reaction to a bad repOli," he said.
For her pmi, Peters is including OCE in the organization review.
The review is a systematic look at how each part of the DOC fits into its overarching goals and its basic
functions. The idea, she said, is for each division of the department to understand how they interact with each
other and how they can work together to accomplish what the depmiment needs to do. Once it's finished, the
DOC executive team will meet quarterly to review whether goals are being met.
For example, OCE might be a big player in helping inmates retUlTI to society, but it may have a very small role
in keeping inmates healthy. The idea is for Jeske to understand how his agency fits together with the DOC.
Peters said she hopes this plan will solve many of the problems Killgore experienced and raised in his complaint
to the Justice Department.
"The lack of connectivity with (OCE) is where we've had our problems," she said.

Author: Inka 8ajandas
Heather Duncan almost forgets where she is when she's helping build a house inside a cavernous workspace
at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility.
Instead of staying idle while serving time at the women's prison in Wilsonville, Duncan, 35, said she prefers to
join other inmates in the Small Tools construction program.
"In here, we don't feel like we are in prison," she said.
Duncan is among 24 inmates enrolled in the four-month Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries certified pre-
apprenticeship construction program. They are the second class to go through the course, which started this
past November through a partnership between Oregon Corrections Enterprises, a state agency that provides
jobs and vocational training to inmates, and the Oregon AFL-CIO federation of unions.
"This program gives you something you can bring into the world," Duncan said. "Since I've been in it, I've had
so many dreams. It means a lot to me."
Oregon building industry union members help teach the course and see it as a way to recruit more women
with construction experience into their paid apprenticeship programs. As long as the Coffee Creek inmates
show promise and a strong work ethic, being a felon won't stop them from finding employment in the
construction industry upon release, union representatives said.
Mark Warne, Oregon AFL-CIO labor liaison, was instrumental in starting Small Tools at Coffee Creek. He said
the course helps inmates learn whether they can handle construction labor and which trade may be the best fit.
Small Tools participants also gain advantageous knowledge and work experience, he added.
"They're pretty close to being job-ready," Warne said. "They're doing things that they never thought they could
do, like installing doors (and) hanging shingles."
Warne, who served on an advisory board for OCE, said he modeled the program after one he tried to get off
the ground when he worked for the Colorado Department of Corrections.
"I said, I want to go with something that will give (inmates) real work experience and lead to a job" he said.
A career in construction is an appealing opportunity for a woman recently released from prison, Warne said.
Along with living expenses, many have to pay restitution and for drug treatment or child support, he said.
"It provides a real living-wage job to someone who is on parole," Warne said. "Most of these women are
coming out being head of hoUsehOld."

Enthusiasm building at Coffee Creek
Small Tools is the most popular vocational program at Coffee Creek, which also offers textile and computer-
aided drawing courses, OCE General Manager Dave Conway said. The first class of 16 inmates graduated
from the program in March, and one graduate, released in May, has already been offered a spot in a carpentry
apprenticeship program, Conway said.
He said that without advertising he's already received 30 applications for 24 slots in the programs next session,
which will start in August.
"We're really, really excited about this program," Conway said.
Autumn Warren, 37, one of the inmates taking the course, said word spread quickly through Coffee Creek
about the opportunity.
"Everybody in the rest of the prison is so hyped up about it and asking about it," she said. "The way we talk
about it they're like, Wow. They're actually doing something."
The course gives inmates a general overview of the building trades, including basic training in carpentry,
electrical wiring, roofing, insulation, painting and flooring, Conway said. By the end of four months, participants
earn 256 hours of hands-on training that can be applied toward entrance in a building trade apprenticeship, he
said.
To qualify forthe, program , inmates must be approaching their release date, possess a high school diploma or
GED and have at least six months of good behavior. Preference is given to inmates who have a high risk of
reoffending upon release.
The program is intended. to show inmates that they can find rewarding and high-paying construction jobs and
don't need to turn back to crime, Conway said.
"We want,to target those women," he said.
Bringing construction inside walls
Setting inmates out on a meaningful career path has been worth the trouble of setting up a construction
program inside a prison, Conway said.
While giving a tour of the workshop, he pointed out a storage closet where the spot for each tool is outlined in
red. If one of those red marks is empty at the end of class, the inmates are searched until the missing tool is
found, Conway said.
The program hasn't experienced any disciplinary problems, he added.
Warne said an added benefit of the Small Tools program is that it encourages good behavior because inmates
must maintain clear conduct to stay in it.
"If you keep an inmate busy, they stay out of trouble," he said.
Along with securing tools, program officials had to consider how to avoid sparks from power saws setting off
the prison's fire alarms, Conway said. To solve this problem, OCE got permisSion from Coffee Creek to build a
fenced outdoor area where inmates can cut wood safely, he said.

Warne said he was pleased at how closely the Coffee Creek workshop resembles a real construction job site.
"We were able to bring a lot of tools that we were surprised we were able to bring in," he said. "(The inmates)
were working with tools that are deadly, but you can't give them the experience if you don't put the tools in their
hands."
Experience leads to confidence
Course instructor Jen Netherwood worked as a carpenter remodeling homes for eight years before she started
teaching at Coffee Creek six months ago.
She said the inmates realize the value of the program and take it seriously.
"I don't see anybody trying to cut corners and cheat; they really are wanting to get as much out of it as they
can," she said.
The first unit of the course is construction math, which intimidates many of the women who haven't been in
school for a while, Netherwood said. After a few days, doubts of their abilities dissipate, she said.
"They're surprised to see that they can do the math," Netherwood said. "The first time they actually put
anything together, then that's just the icing on the cake."
The women also learn how to work as a team and solve problems creatively, she said.
Netherwood teaches two four-hour classes that are a mix of classroom time and hands-on practice. Many of
the women come back after their class ends to keep working;. she said. One of her goals is to make the prison
workshop feel as professional and true to life as possible.
"My job is to show what it's like and how you have to act on a construction site," she said. "So much about
teaching construction is teaching people how to think, going from a blueprint to a 3-D building."
In her classes, Netherwood said she places huge emphasis on work ethic.
"When you get on the job site the number one thing that the crew of mostly men want to know is are you there
to work hard?" she said.
Each class is building two 8-foot-by-1 O-foot houses to test their skills. The houses are collapsible so they can
be transported to the OCE headquarters in Salem, where they are reassembled by male inmates, Conway
said. A couple of nonprofit organizations in Eugene have expressed interest in using the houses as housing for
homeless individuals, he said.
Duncan said building the houses makes the course more valuable.
"I like that we have a class and then we get to do it hands-on and we feel like we're accomplished something
when we're done," she said.
Tricia Haslett, 31, said she feels just like any other construction student.
"They're willing to not judge us as felons," she said. "Who knew we'd be able to walk around wearing tool
belts?"
Haslett said she's amazed at how much she's learned.
"It gave me a lot of confidence," she said. "I can build a house."

Warren said she hadn't realized what she was capable of until she took the course.
"I underestimated my ability," she said. "That just opens it up for so many things."
Warren added that she believes construction jobs will be available for her and other program graduates.
"We've lucked out on the timing," she said. "Now things are starting to boom again with the economy."
Prospects after time in prison
Netherwood said she believes Small Tools'graduates have a good chance of landing apprenticeships.
"I really do see qualified candidates in here right now," she said.
Bridget Quinn, a journeyman electrician and workforce development coordinator with the NECA-IBEW
Electrical Training Center in Portland, helped teach the inmates the basics of electrical work. She said her
union was happy to help out with the Small Tools program.
"We see it as reaching out to a demographic," Quinn said. "We would like to see more women in our
apprenticeship program."
She said NECA-IBEW becomes more interested in taking on someone as an apprentice when the person has
completed a pre-apprenticeship program like the one at Coffee Creek.
"We invest a lot into our apprenticeships; we give them scholarships," Quinn said. "Someone who has gone
through a pre-apprenticeship program has insights into what construction work is like .. Completing a pre- 'il
apprenticeship program shows that they're determined."
Apprenticeship programs offered through the Pacific Northwest Carpenters Institute in Portland have a 40
. percent drop-out rate, carpentry instructor Miguel Montano said. So, apprenticeship applicants who are familiar.
,with the demands of construction are appealing, he said.
Passion and interest also are important, Montano said. He said he's seen plenty while teaching at Coffee
Creek.
"At first, it was just something else that we did as far as recruitment, but when I saw the way the program was
being run and the goals that they had I personally started to care for it quite a bit," Montano said. "I felt that I
wanted to come back because (the inmates) were just so excited.
"A lot of them were saying, & If I had known there were opportunities like this out there I wouldn't be here," he
added. "It's also learning there's other ways to make a living."
Bob Calwhite, director of the Pacific Northwest Carpenters Institute, said that inmates in the Small Tools
program, if motivated, should be able to find construction jobs after they're released. Being a felon won't be an
issue, he said.
"These are people who made a mistake and if they want to better themselves they should be able to," Calwhite
said. "In our industry, it doesn't matter if you're hard-working. The biggest thing is for them to be up front about
(being a felon)."
Glimpses of a possible future
'Visits to the prison by union construction professionals who were once inmates at Coffee Creek are an
especially powerful reminder for the women in the Small Tools program that an industry career is a real
8
KIL_PSU_ 003944
possibility. Netherwood said.
"I can tell (the inmates) look at these women differently because they've been through this before," she said.
Conway said an inmate at the programs first graduation in March said she'd been homeless most of her life
and now knew how to build a home.
"That sent a chill down my spine," he said. "I think we realized we were on to something special."
Duncan said she's grateful that the Small Tools program will make it easier to find work after she's released
from prison.
"This kind of eases the transition," she said.
Bell Anderson, 26, said her first goal after getting out of prison is finding a job.
She hadn't considered seeking a job in construction until enrolling in the Small Tools program. Now she
dreams about becoming an electrician.
"One of the,biggest pressures when you're a parolee is: How do I get a job?" Anderson said. "I never would
have thought it feasible, and now I feel 100 percent confident that I'll be able to work in construction when I get
out."
It's nice to have hope, she said.
"From the time I got in that's all I've wanted, was to get a job," Anderson said. "I just feel optimistic, and
optimism is hard to. come by here. I have a plan."

Department of Corrections addresses negative audit
DOC develops plan after report shows several issues
Jul. 16,2013 6:16 AM I
Written by
Hannah Hoffman
Statesman Journal
Document: OCE's change of administrator review
The agency that manages Oregon's inmate worker program has requested an audit of itself from the Secretary
of State's office in response to an unflattering internal repOli released last week that found several conflicts of
interest in agency contracts.
At the same time, Depatiment of Corrections Director Colette Peters said Oregon Corrections Enterprises, the
inmate worker program, has been included in a depatiment-wide review and restructuring, which she said
should solve many of the cOmmunication and relational problems between the department and its partner
agency.
"Traditionally, we've lived in silos," Peters said, and that's about to come to an end. It's time to expect the
depatiment's divisions and OCE to all work collaboratively, she said.
"OCE has had its trials and tribulations, but we have a lot to work with," Peters said.
The past six months have revealed a series of problems between the DOC and OCE, which is a semi-
independent agency that is expected to be self-sustaining but whose administrator answers to the DOC director.
Peters fired former OCE Administrator Robert Killgore shortly after the Depatiment of Justice investigation
into the department, which Killgore had initiated, although Peters said the firing and investigation were not
linked.
Killgore contended that the Corrections Depatiment was asking his agency to pay for items it shouldn't, as well
as bullying leaders into hiring people they didn't want. He said DOC officials were using OCE as a "slush fund"
and accused DOC Deputy Director Mitch Morrow of forcing Killgore's agency to hire and give a raise to
Morrow's son.
The investigation found no criminal activity but did express concern about the relationship between corrections
and Oregon Corrections Enterprises.
Peters hired Ken Jeske, 46, to replace Killgore. He started July 1, coming to the DOC from the Oregon Youth
Authority, where he was the administrator of its professional standards office. She also ordered an internal
"management review" of OCE after Killgore left to make sure everything was operatingc011'ectly and prepare
for Jeske's entry.
10
KIL_PSU_ 003946
(Page 2 of2)
The review found no problems with Killgore's exit from the agency, but identified three conflicts of interest in
the contracts. Investigators said some of the contracts Killgore approved contained conflicts of interest because
they benefited members of the OCE advisory council.
The council has no decision-making power and serves to advise the OCE administrat0r on policies concerning
the operation of the agency. It consists of at least three members, who represent the banking and finance
industry, organized labor and private industry.
Jeske said he has asked the Secretary of State's audit division to do a thorough review of OCE, including the
conflicts of interest and all the other policies and procedures currently in place.
It is meant to be a thoughtful, systematic response "rather than a knee-jerk reaction to a bad report," he said.
For her part, Peters is including OCE in the organization review.
The review is a systematic look at how each part of the DOC fits into its overarching goals and its basic
functions. The idea, she said, is for each division of the department to understand how they interact with each
other and how they can work together to accomplish what the depatiment needs to do. Once it's finished, the
DOC executive team will meet quarterly to review whether goals are being met.
For example, OCE might be a big player in helping inmates return to society, but it may have a very small role
in keeping inmates healthy. The idea is for Jeske to understand how his agency fits together with the DOC.
Peters said she hopes this plan will solve many of the problems Killgore experienced and raised in his complaint
to the Justice Depatiment.
"The lack of connectivity with (OCE) is where we've had our problems," she said.

You can quote me: This is an improper use of OCE money as I understand the budgeting and
appropriation process. The Legislature expects to allocate funding for specific purposes in the
DOC W&M process and that body expects to review ALL expenditures using the DAS
expenditure reporting tools - - using OCE money circumvents that process. It is an unauthorized
expenditure outside ofthe Legislature's budget approval and reporting process.
DOC can test that theory by sending a memo to their LOF analyst informing him or her that OCE
is buying flat screen TV s for management staff at DOC.

Mike -- Marcus' cell phone number is 503-997-2246.
The new DOC director and Mitch Moll'OW leaned on Rob very hard this morning. Contract is clearly in danger
(and possibly Rob will leave). But rather than say, "We're cancelling," they told Rob they want to meet with me
(and I'll include you) directly.
They may cancel;
They may say, "we'll proceed with x, y, z conditions (including Mike G being off -- and he's fine with that);
OR, we may say, "We'll cancel first, invoke the 30 day clause, and ask for something to compensate for our
time and work.
But Rob will likely call or email in next hour or so to cancel tomorrow's kick-off meeting.

Good Afternoon,
I spoke with Phil Keisling about the PSU contract and he understands the situation. First of all, Mike will not work on this
project with PSU. Both Mike & Phil are in agreement on this. We have put the project on hold until you are able to meet
with him in early March. He understands that we will most likely revise the scope of the project and some of its language
but he hopes that we will keep it in plate. I informed him that both of you are very interested in evolving the organization
but you would like some time to work through how apd what we do. He is willing to meet earlier but I told him that you are
both quite busy with the legislative session and dealing with the budget dilemma. Phil reinforced that they are open as to
how this project is approached. Please call if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Rob

The last three are complete. After your conversation with Phil we can decide how we want the contract revised (if we
don?t chose to cancel it, they are prepared for that option as well). Gary, Laura & I are working on the first three. The
MOU will include more than the S&M as it is a good opportunity to fill in other nebulous areas missed in statute (i.e. rent,
utilities, sharing of resources?). We already have policies on the second two but I will pull them for revision.

Mike -- That would be great. And interesting about Brett Wilcox -- who I would encourage you to update about
the turn of events here, just to keep him in the loop.
We next meet as a group on February 16th, 2 to 3:30 pm here in the Urban Center. Hope that works for your
schedule -- thanks.

I'd be happy to advise you on an informal, volunteer, basis if the project goes forward. Rob suggested that Brett
Wilcox join the advisory committee and the Director vetoed the idea so I'm feeling in good company.
I'd love to work on a project if a good fit arises, I like Marcus.
When you get a minute would you remind me when the next meeting of the round table (don't remember what
you called it) meets? The group I attended last month.

The question that needs to be asked is "how much money has the state had to pay inmates for having
inappropriate relations with staff over the last 8 years". Coffee creek has been the haven for this but it occurs all
over the department. Did I mention that Mitch's brother in law is the Assistant Superintendent at coffee creek?
Oh well, I guess that I don't belong in this "family" anymore. Hurry up and find out about OY A. ..

Didn't know if you read the statesman. Good luck with the governor this morning. Remember
that if they would focus on changing their operating model and go after overhead they shouldn't
have to close prisons. I told Curtis that. The key is changing the operating model and
streamlining leadership.

Subject: Advice re: CIP Funding Request
PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL
Rob,
You asked for my advice regarding whether or not it would be "legally feasible for OCE to fund activities that are not
directly related to prison work or training programs", in the context of OCE's authority under Or Const. Article 1 Sec. 41
and the applicable OCE statutes. I have now completed my initial review and concluded that OCE should not fund
activities that are not directly related to prison work or training programs. My analysis is summarized below:
As you know, Article 1, Sec,. 41 requires that inmates be "* * * actively engaged full time in work or on-the-job
training. The work or on-the-job training programs shall be established and overseen by the corrections director * *
*". The director has the authority to delegate this function to others, which was accomplished by the creation of OCE (see
ORS 421.305 and 421.344). Most importantly for this discussion, subsection 9 of Sec 41 also mandates that, "* * * All
income generated from prison work programs shall be kept separate from general fund accounts and shall only be used
for implementing, maintaining and developing prison work programs. * * *" (emphasis added).
Without getting into too much detail, as you also know, ORS 421.305 to 367 further describes OCE's broad authority to
establish prison work programs including the authority to install, equip and operate machines and plants, enter into
contracts or agreements that accomplish the marketing of inmate goods and services, etc. However, OCE's authority is
subject to the
authority granted to the Corrections Director by Sec. 41 (ORS 421.354). And, more specifically, ORS 421.359 states
that,
" * * * all income and revenue generated or received by Oregon Corrections Enterprises be used for the purposes
of discharging the functions and duties prescribed by Section 41. * * *"(emphasis added).
From the text of the letter you provided, it appears that OCE (via DOC) is being asked to fund administrative costs for the
Children of Incarcerated Parents (CIP) project. While support of such a program conceivably may be within ODOC's
broad statutory authority, it does not appear to be within OCE's constitutional or statutory authority as it does not appear
to relate to
the implementation, maintenance, or development of prison work programs. In fact, if my understanding of the CIP
program is correct, it does not even work directly with inmates, but rather with the children of inmates to help them better
understand and cope with the co'mplexities of the criminal justice system. Unless my understanding is incorrect and it can
, be demonstrated that funding this project is somehow diredi'y related to the implementation, maintenance or development
of a prison work program, I would advise OCE to decline the funding request. OCE's expenditure of funds for this purpose
appears to be inconsistent with OCE's (and indirectly, DOC's) constitutional and statutory authority. As such, OCE's
expenditure of funds
could raise serious questions in the event of an audit, as well as potential personal liability by OCE officials responsible for
authorizing the expenditure.
Feel free to let me know if you have additional questions or would like to discuss this further.

You're talking about the same person who doesn't see a need for an audit because everything that M & M did
seems acceptable to her and doesn't want a repOli that makes her do the right thing if it differs from her personal
desires. I guess that she likes carrying other people's baggage.

PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL
Rob,
You asked for my advice regarding whether or not it would be "legally feasible for OCE to fund activities that are
not directly related to prison work or training programs", in the context of OCE's authority under Or Const. Article
1 Sec. 41 and the applicable OCE statutes. I have now completed my initial review and concluded
that OCE should not fund activities that are not directly related to prison work or training programs. My analysis is
summarized below:
As you know, Article 1, Sec,. 41 requires that inmates be "* * * actively engaged full time in work or on-the-job
training. The work or on-the-job training programs shall be established and overseen by the corrections director *
* *". The director has the authority to delegate this function to others, which was accomplished by the creation of
OCE (see ORS 421.305 and 421.344). Most importantly for this discussion, subsection 9 of Sec 41 also
mandates that, "* * * All income generated from prison work programs shall be kept separate from general fund
accounts and shall only be used for implementing, maintaining and developing prison work programs. * * *"
(emphasis added).
Without getting into too much detail, as you also know, ORS 421.305 to 367 further describes OCE's broad
authority to
establish prison work programs including the authority to install, equip and operate machines and plants, enter
into contracts or agreements that accomplish the marketing of inmate goods and services, etc. However, OCE's
authority is subject to the
authority granted to the Corrections Director by Sec. 41 (ORS 421.354). And, more specifically, ORS 421.359
states that,
" * * * all income and revenue generated or received by Oregon Corrections Enterprises be used for
the purposes of discharging the functions and duties prescribed by Section 41.* * *"(emphasis added).
From the text of the letteryou'provided, it appears that OCE (via DOC) is being asked to fund administrative costs
for the Children of Incarcerated Parents (CIP) project. While support of such a program conceivably may be
within ODO,C's broad statutory authority, it does not appear to be within OCE's constitutional or statutory authority
as it does not appear to relate to
the implementation, maintenance, or development of prison work programs. In fact, if my understanding of the
CIP program is correct, it does not even work directly with inmates, but rather with the children of inmates to help
them better understand and cppe with the complexities of the criminal justice system. Unless my understanding
is incorrect and it can be demonstrated that funding this project is somehow directly related to the
implementation, maintenance or development of a prison work program,1 would advise OCE to decline the
funding request. OCE's expenditure of funds for this purpose appears to be inconsistent with OCE's (and
indirectly, DOC's) constitutional and statutory authority. As such, OCE's expenditure of funds
could raise serious questions in the event of an audit, as well as potential personal liability by OCE officials
responsible for authorizing the expenditure.
Feel free to let me know if you have additional questions or would like to discuss this further.

That all seems like spot on, excellent advice.
I did notice the flap with the Gov's office (and wonder, to what extent, Mitch might have played in that!). But in
the meantime, the "informed innocence" posture seems exactly right.
Yes, I think it would be good to get together here, and maybe include Marcus. He's out the week of February
27th, but 11 am on 2122 might work. Work for you?

The relationships between and among the players in OYA, DOC and OCE are fraught with suspicion and
paranoia. I'd strongly advise that you not try to engage in any communication outside of meeting with the
Director and her Assistant. That kind of communication, no matter how well intended, will not be a secret and
will be interpreted as hostile and threatening. I'd go with informed innocence.
The Director put her foot in it, first thing, by dealing directly with the Legislature on budget reductions, issuing
a cut proposal, and got publicly contradicted by the Governor's office so those nerve endings are frayed.
Continuation with the contract with PSU, for the Director and Assistant, is a decision about the threat the review
presents balanced against what is implied by killing the review - - the merits of the review; good management
infOlmation, improved operations and insulation against a more hostile review at the hands of the SOS don't
enter into their "thinking".
As with other organizations thai: have serious observable problems, DOC has bigger unobserved problems that
have the potential to blow up.
The Directors best shot to turn the page is to ask for an aggressive change of Director audit and ask PSU for a
hard look at OCE. FaiUng that she'll own what happens next
I'd be happy to drop byfor coffee.

Marcus and I are scheduled to meet with Colette and Mitch in Salem at 9 am, Monday, March 5th. They called
back pretty quickly (last week) to set this up.
In the meantime, any advise on other possible efforts to move things forward? I have thought about trying to
visit, off site, with Collette 1 x 1 before the big meeting, or calling Fariborz or Jeanne at OYA and getting their
advice (and maybe they could send a message to Collette as to how honorably and competently we'd approach
this effort). But all these carry some risks, and if you think there's a decent likelihood that this will simply be a
"re set expectations, but proceed" session on March 5, probably better to just wait.
Thoughts?

Mike -- I'm heartened by all of that. Interesting that the advice was 2005, and it's now being "revived". And how
Max gets thrown under the bus -- but Mitch stays unscathed! -- will be an interesting dynamic to watch.
I'll give Rob a call -- Marcus, perhaps you and I can try to chat with him some time tomorrow, before you leave

be demonl:;trated that funding this project is somehow directly related to the implementation, maintenance or development
of a prison work program, I would advise OCE to decline the funding request. OCE's expenditure of funds for this purpose
appears to be inconsistent with OCE's (and indirectly, DOC's) constitutional and statutory authority. As such, OCE's
expenditure of funds
could raise serious questions in the event ofan audit, as well as potential personal liability by OCE officials responsible for
authorizing the expenditure. .
Feel free to let me know if you have additional questions or would liketo discuss this further.

Mourners remember slain eastern Oregon prison guard
Buddy Herron as 'a hero to us aU'

PENDLETON? The selflessness of an eastern Oregon correctional officer and volunteer firefighter who
was killed by someone he tried to befriend should inspire everyone who knew him to live a better life,
Oregon Corrections Chief Max Williams said here Monday.
Buddy Ray Herron, 42, of the tiny Umatilla County farming town of Helix, was driving to his midnight-
48
KIL_PSU_ 003996
to-8 a.m. job at the medium-security Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution in Pendleton Nov. 28
when he stopped to help what he thought was a stranded motorist.
Pendleton police responded to a 9-1-1 call a short time later and found Herron sprawled along Oregon
11 with multiple stab wounds. He was pronounced dead at St. Anthony Hospital in Pendleton.
Twenty-two-year-old Joshua Charles Weeks, a 280-pound drifter and admitted methamphetamine
user with a long criminal history, was arrested a short time later near Hermiston after a police chase.
He confessed to killing Herron and is in the Umatilla County Correctional Facility, charged with murder.

The Oregonian?s continuing coverage of the stabbing of corrections officer Buddy
Herron in eastern Oregon.
Monday's memorial service at the Vert Auditorium was attended by roughly 750 mourners, including
hundreds of somber correctional officers, firefighters, paramedics, law enforcement officers and public
safety workers from around the Northwest.
"Words alone cannot express our feelings of grief and loss," Williams told them, describing Herron as
someone who lived with a deep sense of duty toward others. He treated everyone he met as though
they were his neighbors, said Williams.
Addressing Herron's three sons and a daughter, ages 11 to 20, Williams advised them: "Honor him by
following his example of hard work, duty and compassion."
Herron was an Arizona correctional officer for 12 years before accepting a job with the Eastern Oregon
Correctional Institution four years ago, said Richard McGraw, an EOCI assistant superintendent of
security.
McGraw remembered marveling, "How can he be so wide awake at 2 a. m. 7" after an early morning
prison meeting with Herron a month ago. "Buddy was a hero to us all," he said. "He will not be
forgotten. "
Herron was well known in Helix, population 184, for being the Helix Rural Fire
49
KIL_PSU_ 003997
Protection District, a rural neighborhood watch member, and someone who tried always to be a Good
Samaritan.
Jeff Wood, a bishop with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints' assembly in Pendleton that Herron attended, lamented that
the homicide might prompt some who knew Herron to back away
from lending a helping hand to those in need.
"I would plead with you, don't diminish your service to others," said
Wood.
"Buddy represented it all: honor, courage, bravery and sacrifice," said Helix Fire Chief Matt Benedict.
The service often resembled a military funeral, down to Herron's firefighter's coat and helmet placed
reverentially near his flag-draped casket, and the uniformed Department of Corrections Honor Guard
.. that presented the colors. Other touches included an Oregon Fire Service Honor Guard conducting a
bell-ringing ceremony to signify the end of duty and a return to quarters for Herron, and a separate
Oregon Interagency Honor Guard that handled retrieval of the colors.
A rifle salute was fired outside the auditorium, and Herron's helmet, a fireman's whistle and three
flags were formally presented to his wife, Kimberly. A lO-block procession of fire trucks, police and
rescue vehicles and mourners accompanied the casket to the 132-year-old Helix Cemetery in the
rolling wheat country north of Pendleton after the service.
Andrea Neistadt, spokeswoman for the prison, said the true test for Pendleton, Helix and the
correctional system will be whether Herron's wife and four children are forgotten in the months ahead.
But that won't happen, she said.
"We will be there for her," Neistadt said of Kimberly Herron and her children. "This is not over for us
or for the community."

pay for any of that. In fact, DOC pays for them to be in the prisons.

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL.

Oregon's most modern prison sits empty, unused since it was finished three years ago.
Though the state borrowed $120 million to build the medium-security unit at Deer Ridge
Correctional Institution, it hasn't had the money to guard, feed and otherwise care for
inmates the prison was supposed to hold.
It still doesn't.
Oregon taxpayers over the next two years will put more money than ever into the state
prison system, but it won't be enough. And the need will only grow as the state braces to
add nearly 1,500 prisoners over the next four years.
The state Corrections Department is losing 223 positions. Programs to keep inmates from
returning to prison are being weakened. Staff training on topics ranging from gang
identification to mental health treatment is being reduced once again. The minimum-
security prison next to the Oregon State Penitentiary, closed last fall to save money, will
remain dark.
And the prison in Madras, meant to house 1,228 inmates, will be
vacant another two years. The prison, built next to its minimum-
security sister, was commissioned when Oregon's economy was
booming but came online as state officials began slashing spending.
Rather than open the prison, state officials packed more inmates into existing prisons. Two
years ago, legislators spared the Corrections Department hundreds of new prisoners by
suspending Measure 57, designed to imprison more chronic thieves. The prison population
remained relatively flat.
But the prison system still has relentlessly chewed into the state's general fund, and its bite
will be even bigger for the 2011-13 budget, which took effect last week. The $1.3 billion
appropriated for prisons will take nearly a dime out of every general fund dollar spent on
state government.
Every dollar spent
At first glance, the Corrections Department seemed to be a big winner over agencies that
saw their budgets slashed. Legislators added $116 million from the general fund. But that
was largely a boold{eeping change; legislators were stuck replacing federal money that they
used last time to pay prison bills, and that money is gone.
When the pencil work was done, the prison system ended up with an extra $3 million --
$125,000 a month. Prison officials need every dollar to cover increasing costs of salaries
and benefits for 4,500 employees, growing medical costs for 14,000 inmates, and other
expenses over which the agency has little control.
"This is as tight a budget as we've ever been given," said Max Williams, Corrections
Department director.
Worse, Williams and legislators have their eye on state forecasts showing the inmate
popUlation growing in the next four years, putting fresh strain on taxpayers.
Legislators tweaked some sentencing laws to forestall the arrival of additional inmates.
They changed provisions of Measure 73 to put repeat drunken drivers in county jails
instead of prison. They once again shortened prison sentences for those who violate parole
and probation conditions.
But more significant reforms went nowhere, such as once again suspending Measure 57
and trimming certain Measure 11 sentences. A plan to shift more convicts into less-costly
local jails also failed.
57
KIL_PSU_ 004005
Shannon Wight, associate director of the Partnership for Safety and Justice, said the state
is spending ever more on prison cells while cutting programs that can prevent crime. She
cited reinstatement of "addiction-driven crimes" of Measure 57, which sets mandatory
minimum sentences for some repeat property offenders.
"We're not going to get at what's causing those people to commit crimes," Wight said.
More cuts to make
Doug Harcleroad, policy adviser at the Oregon Anti-Crime Alliance, said Measure 57
should come back to life but agreed that Williams faces challenges in maintaining prison
programs that ease inmates back into society.
"That's the place where we're going to be significantly hurting," said Harcleroad, a former
district attorney. If that happens, he said, Oregonians should expect increased recidivism.
Legislators balked at cutting too deeply into prison treatment programs, and gave Williams
an extra $1 million to try moving certain inmates into communities for the last few months
of their sentences.
Williams also won authority for the first time to assess inmates a fee to help pay for their
imprisonment. Details are in the works, but the move is more symbolic than lucrative.
Legislators ran out of money long before they ran out of prison services to fund, so they've
tasl{ed Williams with cutting another $28 million out of his operations. Williams isn't
certain how he will do that, and he's hemmed in by circumstances.
He can't cram more inmates into fewer prisons without triggering legal challenges.
Overcrowding has led to court oversight, such as in California. In Oregon, unions have
stopped shifts of inmates to understaffed prisons, effectively arguing safety concerns.
And health care Williams is required to provide inmates will take nearly $200 million of his
budget, even though legislators stripped 72 jobs from his medical staff.
"We hQpe to not do great damage to anyone spot," William!!said. Still, "there are corners
being cut. "
Officers at risk
Training is one corner, and that worries union officials. Corrections officers, once trained
at the state>academy, now start the job with in-house training. Specialty training, such as
suicide prevention, is limited to certain workers ..
As a result, employees aren't trained as well as they should be for a challenging job, said
Tim Woolery, cort:ections coordinator for Council 75 of the American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employees.
"Somebody's going to get hurt," said Woolery.
Williams said the agency expects a "very, very challenging and difficult" two years that
could get worse if the number of inmates showing up at the front gates starts to grow.
Williams can't post a "No Vacancy" sign.
State officials this week estimated he will have nearly 500 more inmates to care for by the
end of the current budget cycle and almost 1,500 by July 2015. Williams thinks that
increase will show up later, in the next budget cycle. A new forecast is due in October.
Harcleroad said sentencing reform is the only way to head off the surge in inmates.
"We're not maldng big advances in terms of correctional policy," Harcleroad said. "We're
going to have to write some big checks to open the rest of the beds and build the new prison
in Junction City or figure out how not to make that happen in a very conscious, careful
way."
But with Measure 57 taldng effect in January, Williams anticipates that by 2013 he will
need to reopen the closed Salem prison as a second women's institution and finally open
Deer Ridge medium-security prison.
Until then, the Corrections Department must cover the cost of maintaining that prison
without prisoners. The annual bill: $720,000.

at Deer Ridge Correctional Institution. Although it's vacant, the state
Corrections Department incurs costs to keep it ready for use -- and
to repay the $120 million borrowed to build it. State officials now
expect the prison to come online in mid-2013.

Thanks. So her (and Mitch's idea) is that rather than OCE spending $150K to PSU to come up with
recommendations on how to make OCE a stronger organization, the two entities simply modify/update their
existing MOU and all will be sweetness and light?
And Rob's take on this? (not that he couldn't see it coming .... ).
I'm driving- down to Colleen's event on Wednseday -- if you're going down and then coming back, want to go

GOVER NOH
Agency Directors,
M D ~
As you are well aware, ongoing economic uncertainty has impacted state revenue
projections, necessitating a budget rebalance plan for the remainder of the biennium.
On Friday, the Ways and Means Committee Co-Chairs released their proposed
budget. I do not expect the final budget to differ significantly, and I have attached a
memo from the Co-Chairs that outlines agency-specific budget revisions. I plan to sign
the budget when it reaches my desk.
First, I want to thank you for continuing to deliver the critical public services Oregonians
need and deserve in the most efficient, effective way possible under what I know are
difficult circumstances. I appreciate your deep involvement in the budget development
process and the spirit of collaboration and openness with which you have engaged in
identifying potential savings and enterprise initiatives.
The budget includes $28 million in unspecified personal services reductions across
General Fund/Lottery Fund and Other Funds agencies. The expectation is that the
Executive Branch will come back to a meeting of the Emergency Board in May with a
specific plan, and I want to take a moment to describe my approach going forward.
The additional time afforded to address the budget situation is a positive and productive
step that will allow a more thorough review of options and a strategic plan to achieve
targeted savings. Immediately following the session, Michael Jordan and I will convene
the Enterprise Leadership Team (EL T) to begin the process. Your active participation is
critical in helping craft a product that balances the need for further reductions with the
effective delivery of public services. I am convinced we can achieve both goals.
In the longer term, I am confident we can develop a more sustainable and strategic
approach, and I appreciate your ongoing participation in two key initiatives -- the 10-
Year Plan for Oregon and Operation: Oregon.
Again,thank you for your leadership. I urge you to share this message with all staff.

Ex-Florida prison boss: Drunken orgies tainted
system
Share this on:
Facebook Twitter Qigg delicious reddit MySpace StumbleUpon Linkedln
February 11, 20081From Abbie Boudreau and Scott Zamost CNN


James McDonough, Florida's former prison boss, said he inherited a system run like the mafia.
Softball, drunken orgies and a prison system run like the mafia. That's what Florida's
former prison secretary says he inherited when he took over one of the nation's largest
prison systems two years ago.
In fact, on his first day on the job, James McDonough says he walked into his office --
the same one his predecessor used -- and there was crime scene tape preventing
anyone from entering.
"That was an indication we had a problem in the department," McDonough told CNN in
an exclusive interview before he stepped down last Thursday.
65
KIL_PSU_ 004013
McDonough revealed a startling list of alleged abuses and crimes going on inside
Florida's prisons:
Top prison officials admitting to kickbacks;
Guards importing and selling steroids in an effort to give them an edge on the softball
field;
Taxpayer funds to pay for booze and women;
Guards who punished other guards who threatened to report them.
"Corruption had gone to an extreme," McDonough said, saying it all began at the top.
"They seemed to be drunk half the time and had orgies the other half, when they
weren't taking money and beating each other up." Watch a corrupted prison system
He added, "Women were treated like chattel in this department."
McDonough described a bizarre prison culture among those that ran the system -
- one that he says seemed obsessed with inter-departmelJt softball games and the
orgies after games.
"I cannot explain how big an obsession softball had become," he said. "People
were promoted on the spot after a softball game at the drunken party to high
positions in the. department because they were able to hit a softball out of the
park a couple times."
"The connection between the softball and the parties and the corruption and the
beatings was gre>atly intertwined."
The parties arid orgies were often carried out at a waterfront ranch house built on prison
grounds for a former warden with taxpayer dollars, McDonough said. The house was
complete with a bar, pool table and hot tUb. See photos of the "party house"
McDonough is a former Army colonel who commanded troops in Vietnam and Africa.
He served as Florida's drug czar before taking on the job as the head of Florida's prison
system, which oversees 90,000 inmates.
He left his post last Thursday as secretary of Florida's Department of Corrections
because, he says, he feels he has cleaned up the corruption. It's time, he said, "to turn
this over to law and order people that have made this their life's goaL"
A Brooklyn, New York, native, McDonough says he witnessed the way the mafia worked
in his youth and it provided him a keen insight into how his prison predecessor, James
Crosby, operated.
"It reminded me of the petty mafia I saw on the streets of Brooklyn when I was growing
up in the late 1950s, early 1960s -- petty, small-minded, thugish, violent, dangerous,
outside the law, and completely intolerable for a society such as ours in the United
States of America," he said.
66
KIL_PSU_ 004014
Crosby would later plead guilty to bribery charges in relation to kickbacks from a prison
vendor. He's now locked up in a federal prison. He refused CNN's request for an
interview for this report.
"He's serving time in a federal prison. I hope he reforms and gets out and prospers,"
McDonough said.
He added, "When you have a rotten guy at the top, or gal at the top, it can be very
invasive, and it's a cancer that needs to be excised."
And getting rid of this "cancer" is exactly what McDonough says he did. McDonough
fired 90 top prison officials -- wardens, supervisors, colonels and majors -- claiming they
were corrupt or, at the very least, not to be trusted. He demoted 280 others.
Criminal charges were filed against more than 40 others, and most were convicted. In
addition to the orgies and other misconduct outside the cell blocks, there were other
allegations of prisoners being harmed, McDonough said.
"In some of the pockets of corruption that we found, they [prisoners] were being
abused," he said.
Among those arrested were seven officers accused of beating inmates, including five
accused of forcing a prisoner to drink toilet water. All have pleaded not guilty.
Tina Hayes, the .director of the prison's department initiatives who has Worked in the
prison system for 28 years, said the atmosphere before McDonough arrived was "a little
tense" with workers "always on edge."
She said employees who didn't attend softball games or play on the teams were
"isolated" and "pushed aside."
"I used to tell staff day in and day out: Keep your head high; do what's right; you know
what morally is right; you've got some ethics; don't bow down to it," Hayes told CNN.
McDonough, she said, brought "standards back into the department."
"People can speak out now without being afraid to say what they need to say."
McDonough says the majority of the prison system's 28,000 employees were honest,
hard-working people who weren't corrupt at all. But he says many of the top prison
officials weren't and he believes he has weeded out "an organized vein of corruption."
"They were like frat boys out of control."

Mike -- As I reflected more on this, too, I reached the same place about the likelihood of a "maybe" at our
March 5th meeting.
The question then is how best to respond to that situation, once the "maybe" is delivered. (They may well want
to "chat us up" for a while before getting to that, and as we've discussed, the best strategy is to have Marcus do
most of the talking about the substance of this).
Once the "definitive maybe" gets delivered, here's some of the things I've pondered about saying:
a) "Well, we assume you're speaking for Rob on this, since our contract is with OCE, not DOC."
b) "Can you share with us the basis on which you'll make a decision to proceed with the contract, and in what
time frame?
c) We've assembled the team, and even done some preliminary work; we'd sure appreciate a relatively quick
decision.
Perhaps none, or all, or some of these are worth saying. What I do NOT think would be productive is:
d) Asking them to explain (any fmiher) WHY they're at "maybe." (The more our silence/lack of curiosity shows
on that questiol), I think the more unsettled they might get about what we know)
e) Sticking around in the meeting much longer. "Well, 'if that's the case;'ple'ase let us know when/if you're ready
to go. We've assembled a great team, and we're very excited about the project and helping OCE move
- but obviously, if Rob and you all aren't ready to go there's not much we can do until then ...... .
So in this case, Mike (and I'm filling Marcus in here), we'll 'graciously exit the meeting, and then wait, and see
whether you can rrlove a "maybe" to "yes" by making it clear to the DOC folks that the "least ugly/stupid" thing
they could do right now is to bring us in to do the work (and, no doubt, keep close tabs on us as we do the
work).
And Marcus, Rob and Mike thought that if we get a "no" -- we very quickly conclude the meeting and leave
(which would arguably be the best way to unsettle them, conveying to them that we know EXACTLY why
they've decided to cancel.. .. )
Fmiher thoughts? (Including on a-e, above?).
And one more question/issue: They might ask us, point blank, "Has Rob talked to either of you about issues of
concem re inappropriate expenditures, mis-use of hiring authority, possible legal compliance issues, between
DOC and OCE?"
What would you recommend we say to such direct queries? We could say something like "that's really between
us and our client here, which isn't DOC -- and that's standard operating procedure." Or be more direct -- e.g,
"Yes, he has had some past concems, though he didn't provide any information to us, and as you know, this
engagement is not about the past but about the future of OCE." I want to have a decent answer to such direct
questions -- but in a way that doesn't compromise Rob or our own integrity.

The outcome of your meeting on Monday one of the elements in deciding weather to precipitate a "crisis". Of
course Rob (and Bryant and Cook) should be sure that this crisis is about the right thing and at the right
time. Colette and Mitch want to avoid a crisis about misuse of authority and rather have a crisis about Rob not
being a good "family member". My CU11'ent advise to Rob is, ifthere is going to be a come-to-Jesus meeting
with Colette that we have Mike Jordan there as well.
To that end I'm fairly sure that you'll get a "maybe" rather than a "yes or no" on Monday. My view is that
"maybe" has the same weight for Rob as "no".
In my career when I assumed new duties I called for audits and reviews first thing, that way if there was a
problem we got it taken care of and I didn't get any on me. Colette has chosen to join Mitch in the Bunker - I
don't expect any smarter choices in the future.

Mitch is mentioned extensively in this article. It's an example of one of his creative ideas that you have seen
before. Time will tell if it has positive results. Of course DOC is doing it's own research on the results. I'm sure
that it will classify all of the recent mini riots on the prison yards all over the system into another bucket. In the
mean time Oregon lost track of all of it's gang activity and can't relay any gang information to the Feds or other
states. I notice that it is easy to do smoke and mirrors if you control all of the information.

Mike -- Thanks. In a "maybe" situation, looks like "C" only makes the most sense -- and a quick leaving.
And of course, this morning we woke up to the Oregonian having a front page story .... by Les Zaitz ..... with
.Mitch Morrow mentioned in the 3rd paragraph ---- and it's a glowing portrilyal of his brilliant, innovative
leadership in turning inmates lives around! No matter that the "chatis" -- never referenced in the story -- don't
exactly show an unambiguous picture of success. And, reading closely, it appears that the EVALUATION of
this new initiative will rest in the hands of -- well, the DOC inspector general!
So when you say you think Les is "fooled" -- wow, must h ~ 'ever be! I suspect that this story will do little or
nothing to make Mitch feel any less dominant and "in cJ1arge" at DOC -- and perhaps embolden him even to
give us an outright "no" tomorrow. Better case, of course, is it makes him feel a bit invulnerable -- what the
heck, let PSU come in, though I'm not feeling that one as strongly!
Marcus and I will be meeting early in the morning, and then driving down to Salem for our 9 am. We may want
to give you call around 8:30 on the way down; you have time?
Thanks

If the answer is "maybe" I think we can assume that they want to kill the project. You'll have to assess the tone
and content of how "maybe" is framed but, ifI were you, I'd be prepared to say something akin to "C": "OK,
we've been gearing up to proceed in a way that would allow us to meet the deadline in the agreement, we'd
appreciate your letting us know as soon as possible".
Statements "A" ~ n "B" are challenging, fall into Mitch's paranoia (comfort) zone and make it easy to
rationalize telminating the contract. "A" - PSU doesn't recognize our chain of command and will be a loose
cannon. "B" - Hey, we are the customer, "we don't got to show no stinking badges" (Bogati - Treasure of the
Sierra Madre). I think'IID" and "E" are off the table. '-

Mitch, and I guess Colette, use strategic infOlmation that can be found exclusively within the confines of
DOC. That approach has worked well in the past, due in large measure to Max Williams skill in dealing with
the world outside of DOC. Colette is no Max Williams. My guess is that Mitch retained his position, in spite of
advice to the contrary, because of pressure from Jackie Winters and Peter Courtney who were both pitching for
him to be the Director - motivated by Max. Les Zaitz is certainly fooled. There is every reason for Mitch to feel
"in charge" as well as paranoid. The idea that there might be strategic information beyond the walls of DOC
isn't on the table for Mitch. Any reaction that challenges his authority, which he wields without limits within
DOC, will decrease chances of the project going forward.

with Colette that we have Mike Jordan there as well.
To that end I'm fairly sure that you'll get a "maybe" rather than a "yes or no" on Monday. My view is that
"maybe" has the same weight for Rob as "no".
In my career when I assumed new duties I called for audits and reviews first thing, that way if there was a
problem we got it taken care of and I didn't get any on me. Colette has chosen to join Mitch in the Bunker - I
don't expect any smalier choices in the future.

Good Morning Neil,
Can you please review the attached letter of agreement and give me advice on whether or not paragraph 1 is legal
(comparing it to the AG opinion of 2005)? I still question that it may be just a different way to co-mingle funds. This is the
paragraph of concern:
In lieu of rental payments to DOC, OCE shall establish a sub-account based on a mutually agreed upon
percentage of OCE annual net income for the purpose of maintenance, repairs, or security enhancements
related to OCE inmate work programs at DOC institutions and facilities where OCE business units are
located. The Director of DOC and the OCE Administrator will convene a work group annually to determine
the distribution of the subaccount. However, in accordance with ORS 421.442, OCE cannot make direct
cash disbursements to DOC.

Colette and I are in full agreement with your view of the PSUjOCE Agreement, with one exception (based on the below
email). We do not have an interest in having PSU do a ?structural review? or provide a ?menu? of options, which would
include OCE moving towards an NFP model. We informed Dr. Ingle and Mr. Keisling of that when we met. There may be
other minor adjustments to the Agreement, but we were very clear on this point. Also, there is very little interest on our
part in putting together a Legislative agenda regarding any statute changes (or constitutional ones for that matter) to
OCE,at least for the 2013 ? 2015 session. We believe there is some heavy liftingto be done around the programmatic
elementS and how we build operational crossover between Offender Management and Rehabilitation,
Community Corrections and OCE. We are also wanting Research to be engaged. Lots to discuss. I have some time this
morning if you are available.

Subject: RE: OCEjPSU Contract
I really like the idea of including the Assistant Directors and the ?co-producing? approach. My original intent of this
project was to have a business practice review that would analyze the relationship between DOC & OCE from both a
business and service provider relationship. The business review information would then be used to develop a menu of
policy options regarding the mission and service base of the organization. This may include things like increasing the type
of work skills training (i.e. WFD & apprenticeship), drug & alcohol, and cognitive programs that would be integrated into
our structure. We were also going to look at expanding our service base to include the youth authority, the state hospital,
and transitional programs that target releasing offenders. Additionally there was to be a structural review that would
provide a menu of options for the Director to consider. Ultimately we would have a legal review of the different findings
and options that would provide recommended statutory and constitutional changes. I wanted a full menu of options so that
we could put together a 10 year strategic plan for the organization. The current agreement is fairly wide open with this
project so it is really up to you and Colette as to how we proceed.

Subject: Re: OCEjPSU Contract
Mitch,
As agreed at our meeting with Colette and Phil on the 5th of March, thanks for getting back to us with
recommendations for next steps. We especially appreciate your efforts in identifying a steering committee for
the project from both DOC and OCE to assist us in managing (or what we call "co-producing") the contract
until completion.
Let me bring you up to date on actions our contract team has taken since the 5th, and layout some specific.
suggestions for ensuring that the our first meeting with the, steering committee is well organized and highly
productive. I am only copying this to Rob since your message singles him out to work with us in making
all'angements for the meeting, and also to Shannon (our project manager). Here is the brief update:
1 .. Following the meeting, I prepared a set of "Meeting Highlights" (see attached) and shared them with our
internal CPS project team in a meeting that we held today. These are for our internal team records. Please send
along any revisions or modifications that you deem required. We planned the meeting last week to bring the
team up to date, and discuss implications for moving forward.
2. Since I received your e-mail right before our meeting today at noon, I also shared the contents of your e-mail
with the team. We are in agreement with the focus of the first meeting being on the revised business case and
project scope. And all of the team agreed that we need a clear problem/opportunity statement along with other
items outlined in your memo. To be fully prepared for the steering committee meeting, our team needs to do
additional reading and internal preparation. This will require some "further action" on our pali, including
working out the agenda, materials and facilitation process for the meeting. It would be best, based on my
previous experience, for Shannon and I to meet with you and Rob prior to the kick-off meeting (with the full
steering committee and our team) to ensure we are all on the same page with the agenda and facilitation
process. Do you have time this Weds. or Thursday for an initial meeting with our core planning team?
3. One complicating matter -- as a result ofthe delayed kick-off of the project -- is that we will be unable to do
the meeting. with the steering committee until early in April. I have a long planned business trip abroad from
the 16th to the 30th of March that I must take. So it would be valuable to have a pre-planning session for the
April kick-off prior to the 16th. Is it possible to squeeze a meeting in prior to my departure on the 16th?
4. There is also one other issue with the contact that I need to mention. During the meeting this morning here,
our contracts/budget officer pointed out that our fii'st "(;ontractrtal deliverable" along with an initial request 'for
85
KIL_PSU_ 004033
payment is due on the 31st of March. We have obviously incuned some start-up costs since the contract with
signed, but will not be able to finish the Phase 1 deliverable by the 31 st of March -- given our decisions to shift
the start-up timing and scope. So we need to decide how to deal with that, and we need to get a modification of
that date (and others I suppose) in writing.
Those are my key suggestions for now. Our team remains excited about this opportunity.

Dr. Ingle,
As a follow-up to our meeting last week, I wanted to provide a recommendation for next steps. Director
Peters and I would like to set up a steering committee, that is representative of both DOC and aCE, to assist
with defining a business case and project scope as it relates to the contract between aCE and PSU, and to
manage the contract until completion. Suggested DOC/aCE Steering Committee members will include Rob
Killgore, Laura Osborne and Gary Kilmer from aCE administration and Mike Gower (Assistant Director), Chane
Griggs (Assistant Director) and Ginger Martin (Assistant Director) from the DOC executive team. My role will
be as the Executive Sponsor. I would like to set up a meeting between PSU staff, steering committee
members and myself prior to any further action occurring. Along with building a business case and defining a
project scope at our first meeting, I think it would be important to address the following issues as well:
Draft a clear problem/opportunity statement
Write a goal statement - a concise, measurable outcome to be accomplished
Develop a list of critical stakeholders
Build a communication plan to get the contract off on the right footing
Establish clarity around a reporting matrix (how often, who with, format, delivery mechanism, level of
detail)
Build a contact list
Determine product deliverable dates
There may be more issues (ownership of the final product, confidentiality), but this should get us started.
will ask Rob to make arrangements for our first meeting. I look forward to the conversation/planning.

Subject: OCE Business Practice Review
Colleagues,
, ,I wanted to inform you about a conversation Rob Killgore aDO I had regarding Oregon Corrections Enterprises (OCE). ,A'$
you all know, I have a deep affection for OCE given my history with the organization and have always appreciated Rob's
leadership of OCE since my leaving in 2002. When Rob took over as the Administrator, we both knew that maintaining a
healthy working relationship between DOC and OCE was critical to building a solid foundation for the future of OCE. We
knew this because prior to our deciding to make this one of OCE's primary business goals, the relationship between the
two was toxic. As a result, the communication was bad, there was territorial behavior and a significant divide between
institution and OCE management. OCE was headed for insolvency if their business practices did not drastically change
and if the relationships between the businesses themselves and DOC leadership did not dramatically improve. Of equal
importance was improving the relationships between OCE management and labor leadership, between managers and
OCE employee's in general, with external business partners, elected officials, stakeholders and customers (the most
important of all). Much work was needing to be done.
In an attempt to always be developing and managing the many varied relationships OCE encounters given their unique
business model (a quasi-state government, financially self-sustaining, business-like entity), they are always working to
find ways to "give back." I wanted to share a few examples of the many ways OCE has "given back" over the years:
DOC Operational
Heart-beat monitors for institution vehicle gates
Security enhancement infrastructure upgrades
Business expansions/re-Iocations
Running business that are not profitable, but employ inmates
Political
Desks and office decor for the Legislature for at or below cost
88
KIL_PSU_ 004036
Charitable
Boys Scouts of America
Missing Children's Golf Tournament
DOC Support As Primary Stakeholder/Business Partner
Display furniture in offices and hallways
Multiple Plaques/awards
Financial support for meals/refreshments for DOC Leadership/awards banquets/retirements
A new reception desk at TRCI
Most recently, OCE really stepped up to support EOCI (where OCE has multiple businesses) during one of the more
tragic moments in our agencies history, the homicide of Correctional Officer Buddy Herron. OCE paid for hotel
accommodations for the out-of-state family members of the fallen officer and his widow, provided food and water for not
only our Honor Guard, but all other Honor Guard members who traveled to attend the ceremonies and paid for the use of
a transport vehicle to get EOCI staff to the funeral and then return them back to the institution. Not enough can be said
about the tremendous commitment OCE displayed towards one of it's more significant business partners. Their
contributions and support are very much appreciated and will not soon be forgotten.
Even though the DOC is only 20% of OCE's overall business, Rob knows that 100% of their operation and workforce
resides within DOC institutions, which makes maintaining the DOC/OCE working relationship critical. We have been
talking about how to build a model that puts a more formalized structure around OCE's contribution activities. Many years
have passed since an extensive review of OCE's business practices has occurred and we think it might be time to do just
that. We are not completely sure quite yet how things should look, but we wanted to keep folks in the loop as
conversations begin to take place. We have agreed that we will curtail OCE's contribution activities until such time the
review can be completed. Of course, there will always seem to be opportunities for exceptions to be discussed. An
exception process is being developed and we will get that to you as soon as it is completed.
As a result of this decision, OCE will not be providing a contribution for the upcoming DOC awards banquet. I know that
we have always served a meal at the banquet, but lets start making alternative plans now. I understand this email will
cause some questions. Please feel free to contact either Rob or me and we will do our best to provide answers. Thanks
for your patience as we go through this review and transition process.

Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a requirement for the state CAFR that I found out about last Friday after it was
flagged by our Fiscal Manager. It is asking for any violations of legal 01' contractual provisions
during the fiscal year. It gives the example of expending revenues for purposes other than
outlined in constitutional provisions. This same question came up recently with our annual CPA
audit. I need to resolve this requirement with both entities. . .
I had Neil Bryant review Mitch?s email from earlier this year and his opinion is that the expenses
related to the Buddy Herron funeral where outside the scope of our laws (attached is Neil?s
letter). I reviewed this with our CPA along with the reasoning for the support. I explained that
the new Director took immediate short term action with the formation. of a memorandum of
understanding and was taking long term action by having Portland State University review and,
provide recommendations on the organization. The CPA felt that the expense was immaterial and
suggested noting it in our ?manager?s recommendation? supplement to the audit as she felt that it
was handled appropriately. Because it was financially immaterial it would not be mentioned in
the actual audit. You do need to keep in mind that our auditor looks at OCE from a business
perspective and not governmental. The state may have different standards related to the
definition of immaterial. I have yet to get back to the auditor on this.
As stated earlier, I did not know about the CAFR requirement until last Friday. It is due this
Monday but I have put a hcild on it until we can discuss or I get direction from you. I recommend
that we report the expenses related to the Herron funeral and describe what action has been taken
to keep us within the scope of our laws in the future. Please let me know how you would like to
proceed.
Thanks,

Thanks for this information. In your email to Colette and me last week you write "I had Neil

attachments above. Will you send that document my way as well. Thanks.
Based on what I have read, if the decision to respond is seen as necessary by Colette, I would
recommend we modify our response on the CAFR General Disclosure form. I would include
significantly more detail about the homicide, the timing of things, why there was an opinion
(even if inconectly) that OCE could do this and what the intent was. Also, I am not big on
naming someone. "We made the decision to fund," 01' "a decision was made to fund", or
something like; "as an outcome to a tragic event involving one 01' our primary customers
employees, OCE assisted with .... " "It was later determined that this funding was outside the
parameters outlined in ...... " Just some thoughts to discuss when we meet. We might even get
our communications staff (Heidi) involved, notify some folks ahead of the document going
downtown, provide a heads-up to Steve Powers and let EOCI know. I think we need to be very
thoughtful about next steps.

Hi Neil,
This morning you had asked about who actually obligated the funds for the funeral. We pulled the e-mails from
Betty Bernt's account and found the attached emails between Betty & Mitch. I think that you can fmID your
own opinion on this. The comment is made "any more crap about the money OCE spent on the funeral stuff"?
You will also notice that no OCE executives were copied on any of the emails.

Good Morning Mitch,
I assume that you are 'asking for emails related to the funeral expenditure at this point. Please keep in mind that
98
KIL_PSU_ 004046
a formal audit or review of the expenses has not been done. If you recall, I recommended that in January &
February.
So in response to your request, we assembled the attached emails and financials related to the funeral. We do
have everything in our systems (Fiscal, HR, Contracts, IS) if need be. In crafting the CAFR response I
recommend that we review at least the following:
1. Why did OCE/DOC do it? Obviously this was done to take care of the Henon family and assist the
community. That is, there was no personal gain for anyone.
2. Did the expenses exceed the constitutional and statutory authority of OCE? Obviously this is the most
impOliant point as it triggers the repOliing requirements. Both Neil and I think that it was. If you feel differently
then I recommend another DOJ opinion specific to this situation.
3. How were the expenses obligated? The Director's office dealt directly with Betty Bernt. No OCE executives
were notified until after the funds were obligated. I think that Gary, Laura & I wish that we could say
something differently but we can't. This is important because it will help determine how we craft the message.
Thanks,
Rob

Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a requirement for the state CAFR that I found out about
last Friday after it was flagged by our Fiscal Manager. It is asking for
any violations of legal or contractual provisions during the fiscal
year. It gives the example of expending revenues for purposes other than
outlined in constitutional provisions. This same question came up
recently with our annual CPA audit. I need to resolve this requirement
with both entities.
I had Neil Bryant review Mitch's email from earlier this year and his.
opinion is that the expenses related to the Buddy Herron funeral where
outside the scope of our laws (attached is Neil's letter). I reviewed
this with our CPA along with the reasoning for the support. I explained
that the new Director took immediate shod term action with the
fonnation of a memorandum of understanding and was taking long term
action by having Portland State University review and provide
recommendations on the organization. The CPA felt that the expense was
immaterial and suggested noting it in our "manager's recommendation"
supplement to the audit as she felt that it was handled appropriately.
Because it 'Nas financially immaterial it would not be mentioned in the'
actual audit. You do need to keep in mind that our auditor looks at OCE
from a business perspective and not governmental. The state may have
different standards related to the definition of immaterial. I have yet
to get back to the auditor on this.
As stated earlier, I did not know about the CAFR requirement until
last Friday. It is due this Monday but I have put a hold on it until we
can discuss or I get direction from you. I recommend that we report the
expenses related to the Herron funeral and describe what action has been
taken to keep us within the scope of our laws in the future. Please let

KIL_PSU_ 004055
send that document my way as well. Thanks.
Based on what I have read, if the decision to respond is seen as
necessary by Colette, I would recommend we modify our response on the
CAFR General Disclosure form. I would include significantly more detail
about the homicide, the timing of things, why there was an opinion (even
if incorrectly) that OCE could do this and what the intent was. Also, I
am not big on naming someone. "We made the decision to fund," or "a
decision was made to fund", or something like; "as an outcome to a
tragic event involving one or our primary customers employees, OCE
assisted with .... " "It was later determined that this funding was
outside the parameters outlined in ...... " Just some thoughts to discuss
when we meet. We might even get our communications staff (Heidi)
involved, notify some folks ahead of the document going downtown,
provide a heads-up to Steve Powers and let EOCI know. I think we need
to be very thoughtful about next steps.
Talk soon.

ImpOliance: High

Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a requirement for the state CAFR that I found out about
last Friday after it was flagged by our Fiscal Manager. It is asking for
any violations of legal or contractual provisions during the fiscal
year. It gives the example of expending revenues for purposes other than
outlined in constitutional provisions. This same question came up
recently with our annual CPA audit. I need to resolve this requirement
with both entities.
I had Neil Bryant review Mitch's email from earlier this year and his
. opinion is that the expenses related to the Buddy Henon funeral where
outside the scope of our laws (attached is Neil's letter). I reviewed
this with our CPA along with the reasoning for the suppOli. I explained
that the new Director took immediate short telID action with the
formation of a memorandum of understanding and was taking long term
action by having POliland State University review and provide
recommendations on the organization. The CPA felt that the expense was
immaterial and suggested noting it in our "manager's recommendation"
supplement to the audit as she felt that it was handled appropriately.
Because it was financially immaterial it would not be mentioned in the
actual audit. You do need to keep in mind that our auditor looks at OCE
from a business perspective and not governmental. The state may have
different standards related to the definition of immaterial. I have yet
to get back to the auditor on this.
As stated earlier, I did not know about the CAFR requirement until
last Friday. It is due this Monday but I have put a hold on it until we
can discuss or I get direction from you. I recommend that we repOli the
expenses related to the HelTon funeral and describe what action has been
taken to keep us within the scope of our laws in the future. Please let
me know how you would like to proceed.
Thanks,

Hi Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a description of the OCE sponsorship during Corrections Employees Week. I really liked the way
that we did it this year because of the personal interaction between DOC & OCE staff.
You will also find an accounting of expenses that have been booked to Sales & Marketing relating to DOC for
FYE '12. In answer to your questions relating to "repOliable" or "immaterial" I have to say that I don't know.
The reason that this has come up is because of the legal opinion regarding the Herron funeral which ultimately
was triggered from the Business Practice e-mail in January and the need to comply with our annual audit.
It is interesting if you look at the dates. You will notice that the activity pretty much stopped (except for
cOlTections week) once the Inter Agency Agreement was put into place. However, as we talked about yesterday,
we need to figure this out in a way that benefits & builds the relationship.
I spoke to Neil earlier in the day about the CAFR and the additional information that I supplied him. He was
going to 'call you immediately afterwards. I hope that you connected. Perhaps we can discuss tomorrow.
Thanks,
Rob

Rob,
Congratulations on the wedding. Sony you had to be here this week when
you should have been off. Please enjoy the two weeks.
Colette and I continued our conversation regarding the CAFR repoli and
we would like to get some additional information from you (or Laura).
Would you please provide us with the amount of OCE funds obligated
during Conections Employee Week across the agency and what those funds
were actually spent on (candy, soda, hotdogs). Then, we would be
interested in what'the Administration of OCE sees as the justification
for those expenditures. Based on our conversation yesterday, you
113
KIL_PSU_ 004061
indicated it was a sales and marketing expense. I get that and we
completely agree. What we need is for you to miiculate the sales and
marketing justification. As we continue to work through the decision on
the CAFR, we would like to do a side-by-side comparison of our
perspective on the Herron expense and your justification on the
Corrections Employee Week expense.
Finally, are there any other examples you can think of during the past
year at OCE that you would consider expenditures outside the
constitutional or statutory language parameters? At what point (dollar
amount, number of incidents) does the OCE administration consider these
expenditures either as "reportable" or as immaterial with regard to the
CAFR repOli expectation?
Sony for the additional work. We just want to make sure we are being
suppOliive and that we take everything into consideration as we move
towards a decision. Thanks for the conversation yesterday and please
don't hesitate to call or write if you have any questions.

Subject: RE: CAFR Question
Thanks Rob.
On point # 1: I would add that not unlike expenditures made during
Conectioris Employee Week, this expenditure is a way to market OCE by
suppOliing a primary business pminer during a very difficult and tragic
time.
On point #2: I don't believe the question is did the expense "exceed
the constitutional and statutory authority of OCE," but rather did the
expenditure fall within constitutional or statutory parameters. I think
there continues to be some level of disagreement on the nexus between
the expenditure and the connection to a primary business pminer. And
although connected, the first point does differ a bit from the decision
needing to made as to if the expenditure should be reported to the CAFR
or if the expenditure is immaterial.
On point #3: Dealing with a mid-level manager (especially one that
handles such things for OCE) would not be an unusual action (it happened
many times before and has occurred since). I am not sure of the timing
of things, but it does appear Betty notified you via email on 11/30/11
of what was requested. Also, I do recall very clearly asking Betty
during,l:l.phone call with her to have you call me ifthere Were
on you pmi when the request was made to have OCE suppOli the
114
KIL_PSU_ 004062
Henon family. Given that, I think we may disagree a bit on the
notification/proper engagement points you are making.
All that aside, we'll get this resolved. I do apologize if I offended
you in any way today, that was not my intent. We simply view things
differently based on our own backgrounds. That does not make either of
us a "weak" leader, and that was not what I was categorizing you as. It
just points out that we come from different perspectives. OCE has
accomplished some tremendous things under your leadership and I have
nothing but the upmost respect for you.
It might be time for you and I to have lunch. We (you and I and
DOC/OCE) have been making some great progress and I don't want us to
lose momentum. Talk soon.

Good Morning Mitch,
. I assume that you are asking for emails related to the funeral
expenditure at this point. Please keep in mind that a formal audit or
review of the expenses has not been done. If you recall; I recommended
that in January & February.
So in response to your request, we assembled the attached emails and
financials related to the funeral. We do have everything in our systems
(Fiscal, HR, Contracts, IS) if need be. In crafting the CAFR response I
recommend that we review at least the following:
1. Why did OCE/DOC do it? Obviously this was done to take care of the
Henon family and assist the community. That is, there was no personal
gain for anyone.
2. Did the expenses exceed the constitutional and statutory authority of
OCE? Obviously this is the most impOliant point as it triggers the
repOliing requirements. Both Neil and I think that it was. If you feel
differently then I recommend another DOJ opinion specific to this
situation.
3. How were the expenses obligated? The Director's office dealt directly
with Betty Bernt. No OCE executives were notified until after the funds
115
KIL_PSU_ 004063
were obligated. I think that Gary, Laura & I wish that we could say
something differently but we can't. This is important because it will
help detelmine how we craft the message.

All that aside, we'll get this resolved. I do apologize if I offended
you in any way today, that was not my intent. We simply view things
differently based on our own backgrounds. That does not make either of
us a "weak" leader, and that was not what I was categorizing you as. It
just points out that we come from different perspectives. OCE has
accomplished some tremendous things under your leadership and I have
nothing but the upmost respect for you.
It might be time for you and I to have lunch. We (you and I and
DOC/OCE) have been making some great progress and I don't want us to
lose momentum. Talk soon.

Good Morning Mitch,
I assume that you are asking for emails related to the funeral
expenditure at this point. Please keep in mind that a formal audit or
review of the expenses has not been done. If you recall, I recommended
that in January & February.
So in response to your request, we assembled the attached emails and
financials related to the funeral. We do have everything in our systems
(Fiscal, HR, Contracts, IS) if need be. In crafting the CAFR response I
recommend that we review at least the following: .
1. Why did OCE/DOC do it? Obviously this was done to take care of the
HelTon family and assist the community. That is, there was no personal
gain for anyone.
2. Did the expenses exceed the constitutional and statutory authority of
OCE? Obviously this is the most impOltant point as it triggers the
reporting requirements. Both Neil and I think that it was. If you feel
differently then I recommend another DOJ opinion specific to this
situation.
3. How were the expenses obligated? The Director's office dealt directly
with Betty Bernt. No OCE executives were notified until after the funds
were obligated. I think that Gary, Laura & I wish that we could say
something differently but we can't. This is impOltant because it will
125

help detennine how we craft the message.

Based on what I have read, if the decision to respond is seen as
necessary by Colette, I would recommend we modify our response on the
CAFR General Disclosure form. I would include significantly more detail
about the homicide, the timing of things, why there was an opinion (even
if incorrectly) that OCE could do this and what the intent was. Also, I
am not big on naming someone. "We made the decision to fund," or "a
decision was made to fund", or something like; "as an outcome to a

involved, notify some folks ahead of the document going downtown,
provide a heads-up to Steve Powers and let EOCI know. I think we need
to be very thoughtful about next steps.

Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a requirement for the state CAFR that I found out about
last Friday after it was flagged by our Fiscal Manager. It is asking for
any violations of legal or contractual provisions during the fiscal
year. It gives the example of expending revenues for purposes other than
outlined in constitutional provisions. This same question came up
recently with our annual CPA audit. I need to resolve this requirement
with both entities.
I had Neil Bryant review Mitch's email from earlier this year and his
129
KIL_PSU_ 004077
opinion is that the expenses related to the Buddy Henon funeral where
outside the scope of our laws (attached is Neil's letter). I reviewed
this with our CPA along with the reasoning for the support. I explained
that the new Director took immediate short telID action with the
formation of a memorandum of understanding and was taking long telID
action by having Portland State University review and provide
recommendations on the organization. The CP A felt that the expense was
immaterial and suggested noting it in our "manager's recommendation"
supplement to the audit as she felt that it was handled appropriately.
Because it was financially immaterial it would not be mentioned in the
actual audit. You do need to keep in mind that our auditor looks at OCE
from a business perspective and not governmental. The state may have
different standards related to the definition of immaterial. I have yet
to get back to the auditor on this.
As stated earlier, I did not know about the CAFR requirement until
last Friday. It is due this Monday but I have put a hold on it until we
can discuss or I get direction from you. I recommend that we repOli the
expenses related to the Henon funeral and describe what action has been
taken to keep us within the scope of our laws in the future. Please let
me know how you would like to proceed.
Thanks,
Rob

FYI. .. Colette did admit to Neil that she was aware that OCE had expenses outside the scope of their laws and
she is receptive to legislative changes down the road (not this coming session). She did ask me why PSU
wanted to meet and what the status was. I told her that the PSU team had been actively gathering data but I
really wasn't sure what was in the Phase 2 report as I hadn't seen the draft yet. Let me know if you need

Good Morning Colette & Mitch,
Neil called me last night aritl said that he worked out a solution with Colette. He will give us another opinion
132
KIL_PSU_ 004080
that recommends not reporting the funeral expenses to the CAFR because there was no criminal activity
involved. He does still stand by his opinion that it was outside the scope of the law and should be disclosed to
the CPA Auditors. Laura & I will sign the CAFR this morning and get it to DAS.
While I am on vacation, Gary, Laura, Ann & Betty can draft a formal process for these types of activities in the
future. It should dovetail nicely with the interagency agreement and create a system that is transparent and
easily justified. We can review the draft at our next briefing with you.

Hi Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a description of the OCE sponsorship during Corrections Employees Week. I really liked the way
that we did it this year because of the personal interaction between DOC & OCE staff.
You will also find an accounting of expenses that have been booked to Sales & Marketing relating to DOC for
FYE '12. 111 answer to your questions relating to "repOliable" or "immaterial" I have to say that I don't know.
The reason that this has come up is because of the legal opinion regarding the Herron funeral which ultimately
was triggered from the Business Practice e-mail inJanuary and the need to comply with our annual audit.
It is interesting if you look at the dates. You will notice that the activity pretty much stopped (except for
corrections week) once the Inter Agency Agreement was put into place. However, as we talked about yesterday,
we need to figure this out in a way that benefits & builds the relationship.
I spoke to Neil earlier in the day about the CAFR and the additional information that I supplied him. He was
going to call you immediately afterwards. I hope that you connected. Perhaps we can discuss tomonow.
Thanks,
Rob

Rob,
Congratulations on the wedding. Sony you had to be here this week when
you should have been off. Please enjoy the two weeks.
Colette and I coiltinued our conversation regarding the CAFR repOli and'
133
KIL_PSU_ 004081
we would like to get some additional information from you (or Laura).
Would you please provide us with the amount of OCE funds obligated
during C011'ections Employee Week across the agency and what those funds
were actually spent on (candy, soda, hotdogs). Then, we would be
interested in what the Administration of OCE sees as the justification
for those expenditures. Based on our conversation yesterday, you
indicated it was a sales and marketing expense. I get that and we
completely agree. What we need is for you to articulate the sales and
marketing justification. As we continue to work through the decision on
the CAFR, we would like to do a side-by-side comparison of our
perspective on the Herron expense and your justification on the
Corrections Employee Week expense.
Finally, are there any other examples you can think of during the past
year at OCE that you would consider expenditures outside the
constitutional 01' statutory language parameters? At what point (dollar
amount, number of incidents) does the OCE administration consider these
expenditures either as "repOliable" or as immaterial with regard to the
CAFR report expectation?
Sorry for the additional work. We just want to make sure we are being
supportive and that we take everything into consideration as we move
towards a decision. Thanks for the conversation yesterday and please
don't hesitate to call 01' write if you have any questions.

Thanks Rob.
On point # 1: I would add that not unlike expenditures made during
Corrections Employee Week, this expenditure is a way to market OCE by
suppOliing a primary business patineI' during a very difficult and tragic
time.
On point #2: I don't believe the question is did the expense "exceed
the constitutional and statutory authority of OCE," but rather did the
expenditure fall within constitutional or statutory parameters. I think
there continues to be some level of disagreement on the nexus between
the expenditure and the connection to a primary business patiner. And
although connected, the first point does differ a bit from the decision
needing to made as to if the expenditure should be reported to the CAFR
or if the expenditure is immaterial.
On point #3: Dealing with a mid-level manager (especially one that
134
KIL_PSU_ 004082
handles such things for OCE) would not be an unusual action (it happened
many times before and has occurred since). I am not sure of the timing
of things, but it does appear Betty notified you via email on 11/30/11
of what was requested. Also, I do recall very clearly asking Betty
during a phone call with her to have you call me if there were any
concerns on you part when the request was made to have OCE support the
Herron family. Given that, I think we may disagree a bit on the
notification/proper engagement points you are making.
All that aside, we'll get this resolved. I do apologize if I offended
you in any way today, that was not my intent. We simply view things
differently based on our own backgrounds. That does not make either of
us a "weak" leader, and that was not what I was categorizing you as. It

I assume that you are asking for emails related to the funeral

that in January & February.
So in response to your request, we assembled the attached emails and

recommend that we review at least the following:
1. Why did OCEIDOC do it? Obviously this was done to take care of the
Herron family and assist the community. That is, there was no personal
gain for anyone.
2. Did the expenses exceed the constitutional and statutory authority of
OCE? Obviously this is the most impOliant pointas it triggers the

Laura & I both agree with you but we are relying on our Attorney?s new opinion and the direction of the DOC Director and
Deputy Director. I think that we documented our opinion quite well through this. I?m curious what will happen if anyone
ever compares the Audit to the CAFR. I would think that they should be the same. I guess we will see what happens next.
Thanks,

I'm fairly sure that failure to report the funeral expenditures when the CAFR specifically asks the question,
doesn't meet Government Accounting Standards. I very sure that those specific payments and any other similar
payments are well outside of budget law and legislative expectations.

Good Morning Colette & Mitch,
Neil called me last night and said that he worked out a solution with Colette. He will give us another opinion
that recommends not reporting the funeral expenses to the CAFR because there was no criminal activity
involved. He does still stand by his opinion thatit was outside the scope of the law and should be disclosed to
the CPA Auditors. Laura & I will sign the CAFR this morning and get it to DAS.
While lam on vacation, Gary, Laura, Ann & Betty can draft a fonnal process for these types of activities in the
future. It should dovetail nicely with the interagency agreement and create a system that is transparent and
easily justified. We can review the draft at our next briefing with you.
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a description of the OCE sponsorship during C011'ections Employees Week. I really liked the way
that we did iUhis year because of the personal interaction between DOC & OCE staff.
143
KIL_PSU_ 004091
You will also find an accounting of expenses that have been booked to Sales & Marketing relating to DOC for
FYE '12. In answer to your questions relating to "repOliable" or "immaterial" I have to say that I don't know.
The reason that this has come up is because of the legal opinion regarding the Herron funeral which ultimately
was triggered from the Business Practice e-mail in January and the need to comply with our annual audit.
It is interesting if you look at the dates. You will notice that the activity pretty much stopped (except for
corrections week) once the Inter Agency Agreement was put into place. However, as we talked about yesterday,
we need to figure this out in a way that benefits & builds the relationship.
I spoke to Neil earlier in the day about the CAFR and the additional information that I supplied him. He was
going to call you immediately afterwards. I hope that you connected. Perhaps we can discuss tomorrow.
Thanks,
Rob

Rob,
Congratulations on the wedding. Sorry you had to be here this week when
you should have been off. Please enjoy the two weeks.
Colette and I continued our conversation regarding the CAFR repOli and
we would like to get some additional information from you (or Laura).
Would you please provide us with the amount ofOCE funds obligated
during Conections Employee Week across the agency and what those funds
were actually spent on (candy, soda, hotdogs). Then, we would be
interested in what the Administration of OCE sees as the justification
for those expenditures. Based on our conversation yesterday, you
indicated it was a sales and marketing expense. I get that and we
completely agree. What we need is for you to atiiculate the sales and
marketing justification. As we continue to work through the decision on
the CAFR, we would like to do a side-by-side comparison of our
perspective on the Herron expense and' your justification on the
Corrections Employee Week expense.
Finally, are there any other examples you can think of during the past
year at OCE that you would consider expenditures outside the
constitutional or statutory language parameters? At what point (dollar
amount, number of incidents) does the OCE administration consider these
expenditures either as "repOliable" or as immaterial with regard to the
CAFR repOli expectation?
Sorry for the additional work. We just want to make sure we are being
suppOliive and that we take everything into consideration as we move
towards a decision. Thanks for the conversation yesterday and please

Subject: RE: CAFR Question
Thanks Rob.
On point # 1: I would add that not unlike expenditures made during
Corrections Employee Week, this expenditure is a way to market OCE by
supporting a primary business partner during a very difficult and tragic
time.
On point #2: I don't believe the question is did the expense "exceed
the constitutional and statutory authority of OCE," but rather did the
expenditure fall within constitutional or statutory parameters. I think
there continues to be some level of disagreement on the nexus between
the expenditure and the connection to a primary business patineI'. And
although connected, the first point does differ a bit from the decision
needing to made as to if the expenditure should be repOlied to the CAFR
or if the expenditure is immaterial.
On point #3: Dealing with a mid-level manager (especially one that
handles such things for OCE) would not be an unusual action (it happened
many times before and has occurred since). I am not sure of the timing
of things, but it does appear Betty notified you via email on 11/30/11
of what was requested. Also, I do recall very clearly asking Betty
during a phone call with her to have you call me if there were any
concerns on you part when the request was made to have OCE support the
Herron family. Given that, I think we may disagree a bit on the
notification/proper engagement points you are making.
All that aside, we'll get this resolved. I do apologize if! offended
you in any way today, that was not my intent. We simply view things
differently based on our own backgrounds. That does not make either of
us a "weak" leader, and that was not what I was categorizing you as. It
just points out that we come from different perspectives. OCE has
accomplished some tremendous things under your leadership and I have
nothing but the upmost respect for you.
It might be time for you and I to have lunch. We (you and I and
DOC/OCE) have been making some great progress and I don't want us to
lose momentum. Talk soon.

Good Morning Mitch,
I assume that you are asking for emails related to the funeral
expenditure at this point. Please keep in mind that a formal audit or
review of the expenses has not been done. If you recall, I recommended
that in January & February.
So in response to your request, we assembled the attached emails and
financials related to the funeral. We do have everything in our systems
(Fiscal, HR, Contracts, IS) if need be. In crafting the CAFR response I
recommend that we review at least the following:
1. Why did OCE/DOC do it? Obviously this was done to take care of the
Henon family and assist the community. That is, there was no personal
gain for anyone.
2. Did the expenses exceed the constitutional and statutory authority of
OCE? Obviously this is the most important point as it triggers the
reporting requirements. Both Neil and I think that it was. If you feel
differently then I recommend another DOJ opinion specific to this
situation.
3. How were the expenses obligated? The Director's office dealt directly
with Betty Bernt. No OCE executives were notified until after the funds
were obligated. I think that Gary, Laura & I wish that we could say
something differently but we can't. This is important because it will
help detelmine how we craft the message.
Thanks,
Rob

Based on what I have read, if the decision to respond is seen as

CAFR General Disclosure form. I would include significantly more detail
about the homicide, the timing of things; why there was an opinion (even
if incorrectly) that OCE could do this and what the intent was. Also, I
am not big on naming someone. "We made the decision to fund," or "a
decision was made to fund", or something like; "as an outcome to a

Importance: High

Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a requirement for the state CAFR that I found out about
last Friday after it was flagged by our Fiscal Manager. It is asking for
any violations of legal or contractual provisions during the fiscal
year. It gives the example of expending revenues for purposes other than
outlined in constitutional provisions. This same question came up
recently with our annual CPA audit. I need to resolve this requirement
with both entities.
I had Neil Bryant review Mitch's email from earlier this year and his
opinion is that the expenses related to the Buddy HelTon funeral where
outside the scope of our laws (attached is Neil's letter). I reviewed
this with our CPA along with the reasoning for the support. I explained
that the new Director took immediate ShOli telm action with the
formation of a memorandum of understanding and was taking long term
action by having POliland State University review and provide
recommendations on the organization. The CPA felt that the expense was
immaterial and suggested noting it in our "manager's recommendation"
supplement to the audit as she felt that it was handled appropriately.
Because it was financially immaterial it would not be mentioned in the
actual audit. You do need to keep in mind that our auditor looks at OCE
from a business perspective and not governmental. The state may have
different standards related to the definition of immaterial. I have yet
to get back to the auditor on this.
As stated earlier, I did not know about the CAFR requirement until
150
KIL_PSU_ 004098
last Friday. It is due this Monday but I have put a hold on it until we
can discuss or I get direction from you. I recommend that we report the
expenses related to the Herron funeral and describe what action has been
taken to keep us within the scope of our laws in the future. Please let
me know how you would like to proceed.
Thanks,
Rob

Oregon liquor plot thickens as Gov. John
Kitzhaber names former Republican
lawmaker to OlCC

L--____________________ --lMichael Lloyd/The Oregonian Former Rep. Rob Patridge,
R-Medford, (left) was a freshman in the Oregon House when this photo was taken during the1999 legislative session.
Gov. John Kitzhaber has offered up a former Republican lawmaker to be the newest member of the Oregon Liquor
Control Commission, a move widely seen as part of his effort to get rid of the agency's longtime director Steve Pharo.
Kitzhaber asked Pharo to resign months ago, but he refused. An effort by the OlCC's five-member governing board
to fire Pharo also failed when it became clear it was one vote short. Rob Patridge, who served three terms in the House,
could provide the needed third vote.
'iCertainly Rob and the other commissioners are well aware of the governor's concerns about the leadership of the ()lCC,"
said Kitihaber spokesman Tim Raphael.
Attempts to reach Pharo were unsuccessful Thursday,. OlCC Chairwoman Cassandra Skinnerlopata wouldn't comment on
what the future holds for Pharo or whether the board would <;:all a meeting soon to discuss firing him.
"We don't have a line-up yet for our agenda items," Skinnerlopata said. But she was quick to praise the governor's
choice, noting Patridge's previous experience asalegislator, city councilor and deputy district attorney.
Patridge, who was viewed as among the more moderate Republicans when he was in the House, has been active in local
politics in the Medford area. last year, he ran unsuccessfully for Jackson County district attorney.
He wouldn't directly discuss whether he was being brought on board as the swing vote needed to push Pharo out.
"I'm going to come in and look at it and see what's going on and evaluate," said Patridge, who still must be confirmed by
the Oregon Senate, which will take up executive appointments on Sept. 14. "I don't have any preconceived notions."
In March, after Kitzhaber had sent one of his aides to Pharo's office seeking his resignation, the board called a special
meeting to discuss ousting Pharo. The board then cancelled its meeting without explanation.
A month later, the board tried again, announcing a meeting at which it planned to hold a closed-door discussion about
whether to fire the director. Again the meeting was cancelled with no explanation.
Speculation centered on the board's make-up, which included three members appointed by former Gov. Ted Kulongoski
and two by Kitzhaber. If Patridge is confirmed, he would replace Rob Roome, a Bend lawyer who represents the 2nd
Congressional District on the commission and was a Kulongoski pick.
The reasons why Kitzhaber wants Pharo out aren't entirely clear. Pharo and the agency have come under increasing
scrutiny by lawmakers, especially in light of the vote in Washington earlier this year to privatize liquor sales. Oregon has
maintained tight control over liquor since Prohibition ended in the 1930s, and reaps about $100 million a year in profits
for the state general fund.
154
KIL_PSU_ 004102
Last year, Pharo was scolded by legislators for working too closely with a high-profile lobbyist representing wine
distributors and targeting a discount grocery chain that wanted to store and ship wine without paying the distributors.
Sen. Jason Atkinson, R-Central Point, all but accused Pharo and his lieutenants of lying about how much it would cost to
collect taxes from stores that bypass distributors.
In an interview shortly after he was asked to resign, Pharo told The Oregonian he was not given a reason why. "I have to
wonder if the governor is making political deals," he said at the time.

Hello Rob,
Thanks for writing the emaiL I appreciate you checking in. No need to worry ~ o u t the ru ckus,
thal's what we're here for. What worried me more is that we weren't therefor you on the front-
end to 'ensure that the ruckus didn't even happen. I propose we spend more time together so that
we are all on the same page and that you not only understand what Mitch and I are thinking but -
that trust begins to get built up. I'm fearful that it's not there. We intend to continue to run this
agency filled with integrity and transparency. I want to get you to a place where you believe that
wholeheatiedly;
I know that the meeting was difficult for you - I could see it on your face and hear it in your
voice. I got the sense that there were other things that have happened in the past that have made
you nervous. I recognize that going forward, the MOU and a better understanding amongst the
three of us, will probably resolve issues before they are created. Yet, I think we need to explore
the past a little bit. I think as your new Director I need to understand things that have happened
in the past that make you nervous so that I can fully suppoli you. I understand you are out for a
couple of weeks but when you get back, will you create a list of all the personnel moves or
issues, expenditures, DOC actions, OCE actions, etc. that have made you nervous during your
tenure as the administrator? And, I want them all - big and small. Then I'd like to spend some
time with you understanding the list and talking about the history and the intent. I'm hoping this
will put us all in a better place going forward.
As far as your relationship with Mitch, I'm less concerned with the personal relationship - the
"dysfunctional brothers" as .you put it. That is up to the two of you to either resolve, or not, as
156
KIL_PSU_ 004104
friends. What I'm most concerned about is your professional relationship as Administrator to
Deputy Director.
First, let me begin,to explain my professional respect for Mitch because it is without
reproach. He is a leader that sits above most. His background, experience, history with the
agency, and ability to see the agency and the enterprise of state government in three-dimensions,
really has put him in the category of one of the best leaders I've ever met - amongst the public
and private sector. I've been working with him now for almost 8 Yz years since the day he hired
me. And it's been 8 Yz years without intelTuption; while Max, Mitch, and I operated like a well-
oiled machine when I first came to DOC, that did not end when I moved to OY A. Rarely was
there a major problem or a plan that I didn't run by Mitch. The partnership we've had is
priceless to me. So, for me to return and work side by side with him in my new role I couldn't
be more relieved to have him at my side or feel so blessed.
I stmi here, because I get the sense that you do not see him like I do. I don't know if your
friendship has gotten in the way of you understanding who he is as a leader, but I believe you've
misjudged him for who he is. And while I may be wrong on how you "feel" about him, I do
sense a lack of respect and even acknowledgement of his background, experience, history,
dedication to OCE's success, and dedication to your personal success. I'd like you to spend
some time reflecting on this and I'm happy to talk with you one-on-one to flush this out
fmiher. Just let me know.
I think that the corning year is filled with 0ppOliunities for success and c h a ~ g e so let's resolve

things are done rather than what is done.
This coming year will be challenging in many ways for both DOC and OCE so I feel it is
important that I have a strong relationship with the Director's office to be successful. Please do
not hesitate to contact me if you need any assistance.
Thanks,

Good Morning Colette & Mitch,
Neil called me last night and said that he worked out a solution with Colette. He will give us
another opinion that recommends not reporting the funeral expenses to the CAFR because there
was no criminal activity involved. He does still stand by his opinion that it was outside the scope
of the law and should be disclosed to the CPA Auditors. Laura & I will sign the CAFR this
morning and get it to DAS.
While I am on vacation, Gary, Laura, Ann & Betty can draft a fmmal process for these types of
activities in the future. It should dovetail nicely with the interagency agreement and create a
system that is transparent and easily justified. We can review the draft at our next briefing with
you.
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a description of the OCE sponsorship during COlTections Employees Week. I really
liked the way that we did it this year because of the personal interaction between DOC & OCE
staff.

relating to DOC for FYE '12. In answer to your questions relating to "reportable" or "immaterial"

I have to say that I don't know. The reason that this has come up is because of the legal opinion
regarding the Herron funeral which ultimately was triggered from the Business Practice e-mail in
January and the need to comply with our annual audit.
It is interesting if you look at the dates. You will notice that the activity pretty much stopped
(except for corrections week) once the Inter Agency Agreement was put into place. However, as
we talked about yesterday, we need to figure this out in a way that benefits & builds the
relationship.
I spoke to Neil earlier in the day about the CAFR and the additional information that I supplied
him. He was going to call you immediately afterwards. I hope that you connected. Perhaps we
can discuss tomorrow.
Thanks,
Rob

Rob,
Congratulations on the wedding. Sorry you had to be here this week when you should have been
off. Please enjoy the two weeks.
Colette and I continued our conversation regarding the CAFR report and we would like to get
some additional information from you (or Laura).
160
KIL_PSU_ 004108
Would you please provide us with the amount of OCE funds obligated during Conections
Employee Week across the agency and what those funds were actually spent on (candy, soda,
hotdogs). Then, we would be interested in what the Administration of OCE sees as the
justification for those expenditures. Based on our conversation yesterday, you indicated it was a
sales and marketing expense. I get that and we completely agree. What we need is for you to
articulate the sales and marketing justification. As we continue to work through the decision on
the CAFR, we would like to do a side-by-side comparison of our perspective on the Herron
expense and your justification on the Conections Employee Week expense.
Finally, are there any other examples you can think of during the past year at OCE that you
would consider expenditures outside the constitutional or statutory language parameters? At
what point (dollar amount, number of incidents) does the OCE administration consider these
expenditures either as "reportable" or as immaterial with regard to the CAFR report expectation?
Sony for the additional work. We just want to make sure we are being suppOliive and that we
take everything into consideration as we move towards a decision. Thanks for the conversation
yesterday and please don't hesitate to call or write if you have any questions.
Mitch

Thanks Rob.
On point # 1: I would add that not unlike expenditures made during Corrections Employee
Week, this expenditure is a way to market OCE by suppOliing a primary business patiner during
a very difficult and tragic time.
;':
161
KIL_PSU_ 004109
On point #2: I don't believe the question is did the expense "exceed the constitutional and
statutory authority of OCE," but rather did the expenditure fall within constitutional or statutory
parameters. I think there continues to be some level of disagreement on the nexus between the
expenditure and the connection to a primary business patineI'. And although connected, the first
point does differ a bit from the decision needing to made as to if the expenditure should be
repOlied to the CAFR or if the expenditure is immaterial.
On point #3: Dealing with a mid-level manager (especially one that handles such things for
OCE) would not be an unusual action (it happened many times before and has occurred since). I
am not sure of the timing of things, but it does appear Betty notified you via email on 11/30/11
of what was requested. Also, I do recall very clearly asking Betty during a phone call with her to
have you call me if there were any concerns on you part when the request was made to have
OCE suppOli the HelTon family. Given that, I think we may disagree a bit on the
notification/proper engagement points you are making.
All that aside, we'll get this resolved. I do apologize if I offended you in any way today, that was
not my intent. We simply view things differently based on our own backgrounds. That does not
make either of us a "weak" leader, and that was not what I was categorizing you as. It just points
out that we come from different perspectives. OCE has accomplished some tremendous things
under your leadership and I have
nothing but the upmost respect for you.
It might be time for you and I to have lunch. We (you and I and
DOC/OCE) have been maldng some great progress and I don't want us to lose momentum. Talk
soon.

Good Morning Mitch,
I assume that you are asking for emails related to the funeral expenditure at this point. Please
keep in mind that a formal audit or review of the expenses has not been done. If you recall, I
recommended that in January & February.
So in response to your request, we assembled the attached emails and financials related to the
funeral. We do have everything in our systems (Fiscal, HR, Contracts, IS) if need be. In crafting
the CAFR response I recommend that we review at least the following:
1. Why did OCE/DOC do it? Obviously this was done to take care of the Henon family and
assist the community. That is, there was no personal gain for anyone.
2. Did the expenses exceed the constitutional and statutory authority of OCE? Obviously this is
the most important point as it triggers the repOliing requirements. Both Neil and I think that it
was. If you feel differently then I recommend another DOJ opinion specific to this situation.
3. How were the expenses obligated? The Director's office dealt directly with Betty Bernt. No
OCE executives were notified until after the funds were obligated. I think that Gary, Laura & I
wish that we could say something differently but we can't. This is important because it will help
determine how we craft the message.
Thanks,
Rob

a memorandum of understanding and was taking long term action by having Portland State
University review and provide recommendations on the organization. The CPA felt that the
expense was immaterial and suggested noting it in our "manager's recommendation"
supplement to the audit as she felt that it was handled appropriately.
Because it ~ financially immaterial it would not be mentioned in the actual audit. You do need
to keep in mind that our auditor looks at OCE from a business perspective and not governmental.
The state may have different standards related to the definition of immaterial. I have yet to get
back to the auditor on this.

SUbject: RE: CAFR Question
Hello Rob,
Thanks for writing the email. I appreciate you checking in. No
need to W011'y about the ruckus, that's what we're here for. What
w011'ied me more is that we weren't there for you on the front-end
to ensure that the ruckus didn't even happen. I propose we spend
more time together so that we are all on the same page and that you
not only understand what Mitch and I are thinking but that trust
begins to get built up. I'm fearful that it's not there. We intend to
continue to run this agency filled with integrity and transparency. I
want to get you to a place where you believe that wholeheartedly.
I know that the meeting was difficult for you - I could see it on
your face and hear it in your voice. I got the sense that there were
other things that have happened in the past that have made you
nervous. I recognize that going forward, the MOD and a better
understanding amongst the three of us, will probably resolve issues
before they are created. Yet, I think we need to explore the past a
little bit. I think as your new Director I need to understand things
that have happened in the past that make you nervous so that I can
fully support you. I understand you are out for a couple of weeks
but when you get back, will you create a list bfall the personnel
173
KIL_PSU_ 004121
\,
moves or issues, expenditures, DOC actions, OCE actions, etc. that
have made you nervous during your tenure as the
administrator? And, I want them all - big and small. Then I'd like
to spend some time with you understanding the list and talking
about the history and the intent. I'm hoping this will put us all in a
better place going forward.
As far as your relationship with Mitch, I'm less concerned with the
personal relationship - the "dysfunctional brothers" as you put
it. That is up to the two of you to either resolve, or not, as
friends. What I'm most concerned about is your professional
relationship as Administrator to Deputy Director.
First, let me begin to explain my professional respect for Mitch
because it is without reproach. He is a leader that sits above
most. His background, experience, history with the agency, and
ability to see the agency and the enterprise of state government in
three-dimensions, really has put him in the category of one of the
best leaders I've ever met amongst the public and private
sector. I've been working with him now for almost 8 liz years
since the day he hired me. And it's been 8 liz years without
interruption; while Max, Mitch, and I operated like a well-oiled
machine when I first came to DOC, that did not end when I moved
to OY A. Rarely was there a major problem or a plan that I didn't
run by Mitch. The p31inership we've had is priceless to me. So,
for me to return and work side by side with him in my new role I
couldn't be more relieved to have him at my side or feel so
blessed.
I stati here, because I get the sense that you do not see him like I
do. I don't know if your friendship has gotten in the way of you
understanding who he is as a leader, but I believe you've
misjudged him for who he is. And while I may be wrong on how
you "feel" about him, I do sense a lack of respect and even
acknowledgement of his background, experience, history,
dedication to OCE's success, and dedication to your personal
success. I'd like you to spend some time reflecting on this and I'm
happy to talk with you one-on-one to flush this out fuliher. Just let
me know.
I think that the coming year is filled with 0ppOliunities for success
and change, so let's resolve some of these issues soon.

On point # 1: I would add that not unlike

supporting a primary business partner during a very
difficult and tragic time.
On point #2: I don't believe the question is did the

fall within constitutional or statutory parameters. I
think there continues to be some level of
disagreement on the nexus between the expenditure
and the connection to a primary business

does differ a bit from the decision needing to made
as to if the expenditure should be reported to the
CAFR or if the expenditure is immaterial.
On point #3: Dealing with a mid-level manager
(especially one that handles such things for OCE)
would not be an unusual action (it happened many
times before and has occUlTed since). I am not sure
of the timing of things, but it does appear Betty
notified you via email on 11/30/11 of what was
requested. Also, I do recall very clearly asking
Betty during a phone call with her to have you call
me if there were any concerns on you part when the
request was made to have OCE support the Herron
family. Given that, I think we may disagree a bit on
the
notification/proper engagement points you are
making.
All that aside, we'll get this resolved. I do
apologize if! offended you in any way today, that
was not my intent. We simply view things
180
KIL_PSU_ 004128
differently based on our own backgrounds. That
does not make either of us a "weak" leader, and that
was not what I was categorizing you as. It just
points out that we come from different
perspectives. OCE has accomplished some
tremendous things under your leadership and I have
nothing but the upmost respect for you.
It might be time for you and I to have lunch. We
(you and I and
DOC/OCE) have been making some great progress
and I don't want us to lose momentum. Talk soon.

Good Morning Mitch,
I assume that you are asking for emails related to
-the funeral expenditure at this point. Please keep in
mind that a formal audit or review of the expenses
181
KIL_PSU_ 004129
has not been done. If you recall, I recommended
that in January & Februmy.
So in response to your request, we assembled the
attached emails and financials related to the funeral.
We do have everything in our systems (Fiscal, HR,
Contracts, IS) if need be. In crafting the CAFR
response I recommend that we review at least the
following:
1. Why did OCE/DOC do it? Obviously this was
done to take care of the Herron family and assist the
community. That is, there was no personal gain for
anyone.
2. Did the expenses exceed the constitutional and
statutory authority of OCE? Obviously this is the
most important point as it triggers the reporting
requirements. Both Neil and I think that itwas. If
you feel differently then I recommend another DOJ
opinion specific to this situation.
3. How were the expenses obligated? The Director's
office dealt directly with Betty Bernt. No OCE
executives were notified until after the funds were,
obligated. I think that Gary, Laura & I wish that we
could say something differently but we can't.. This is
impOliant because it will help determine how we
craft the message.
Thanks,
Rob

explained that the new Director took immediate
short term action with the formation of a
memorandum of understanding and was taking long
term action by having Portland State University
review and provide recommendations on the
organization. The CPA felt that the expense was
immaterial and suggested noting it in our
"manager's recommendation"
supplement to the audit as she felt that it was
handled appropriately.
Because it was financially immaterial it would not
. be mentioned in the actual audit. You do need to
keep in mind that our auditor looks at aCE from a
business perspective and not governmental. The
state may have different standards related to the
definition of immaterial. I have yet to get back to
the auditor on this.

I really don't have enough time for an in depthl'ead of the repOli - perhaps on the 10 hour flight tomorrow.
You may want to think about pointing out the differences between the private sector-like functions of OCE
compared to the mainstream govermnent structure of DOC as driving differences in priorities and management
strategies; free market maneuvering space verses regular predictable institution management. This is not only
true, but explains the contradictions facing the Director rather than pinning it on that specific individual.

Jordan and the Governor's office may want to get on top of this rather than reacting to events. Rationally Collet
would have followed your advice and be driving what appears to be inevitable. If this is going to become
public, audited or the subject of a legislative hearing you have to decide what to do and when to do it.

Hi Everyone -
We have exciting news to share with you. Director Collette Peters has appointed the OCE
Administrator as a full time member of the DOC Policy Group. This will help shape future
opportunities, foster collaborative relationships, and coordinate mutual efforts that lead to reducing
recidivism for the State of Oregon.
Office space at the DOC headquarters (Dome Building) on Center Street has been allotted to give
OCE more accessibility to the DOC division administrators. Rob, Laura, Gary, Kevin, and Betty will
be moving to the Dome Building on October 1,2012. This move gives us the opportunity to
203
KIL_PSU_ 004151
J ,'; ,
strengthen our shared common mission of public safety by reducing the risk of future criminal
behavior through increased inmate participation in our OCE businesses and training programs.
The five of us will always be accessible to you through our continued in-person visits, e-mails, and
phone calls. The OCE Admin office will continue to serve as the hub for central support and
coordination. The OCE Sales staff will be consolidated with the Fiscal, Information Systems,
Contracts and HR-Payroll-Safety units.
More information will be coming as we get settled in October. As always, we truly appreciate the
work, dedication, and effort you contribute to making OCE a great success.
Best regards,
Rob, Laura & Gary

Hi Everyone -
We have exciting news to share with you. Director Collette Peters has appointed the
OCE Administrator as a full time member of the DOC Policy Group. This will help
shape future opportunities, foster collaborative relationships, and coordinate mutual
efforts that lead to reducing recidivism for the State of Oregon.
Office space at the DOC headquarters (Dome Building) on Center Street has been
allotted to give OCE more accessibility to the DOC division administrators. Rob, Laura,
Gary, Kevin, and Betty will be moving to the Dome Building on October 1, 2012. This
move gives us the opportunity to strengthen our shared common mission of public
safety by reducing the risk of future criminal behavior through increased inmate
participation in our OCE businesses and training programs.
208
KIL_PSU_ 004156
The five of us will always be accessible to you through our continued in-person visits, e-
mails, and phone calls. The OCE Admin office will continue to serve as the hub for
central support and coordination. The OCE Sales staff will be consolidated with the
Fiscal, Information Systems,'Contracts and HR-Payroll-Safety units.
More information will be coming as we get settled in October. As always, we truly
appreciate the work, dedication, and effort you contribute to making OCE a great
success.
Best regards,
Rob, Laura & Gary

Rob,
Attached are a Recap and the supporting spreadsheets for the internal fiscal review you requested. We have listed all the
discounts, promotions and expenditures for and/or on behalf of DOC since 2002.

Also included are the personnel costs and laundry surcharge information. Most of these expenditures and discounts were
requested by DOC Executives or the Director?s office.
A more thorough, detailed audit of these business practices, may find additional expenditures.
Please let me know if you need more information at this time.

You can quote me: This is an improper use of OCE money as I understand the budgeting and
appropriation process. The Legislature expects to allocate funding for specific purposes in the
DOC W &M process and that body expects to review ALL expenditures using the DAS
expenditure reporting tools - - using OCE money circumvents that process. It is an unauthorized
expenditure outside ofthe Legislature's budget approval and repOliing process.

DOC can test that theory by sending a memo to their LOF analyst informing him or her that OCE
is buying flat screen TV s for management staff at DOC.
Freddy Webb Petite lost her job as a state depaliment manager for purchasing fancy day-timers

Mike -- Marcus' cell phone number is 503-997-2246.
The new DOC director and Mitch Morrow leaned on Rob very hard this morning. Contract is clearly in danger
(and possibly Rob will leave). But rather than say, "We're cancelling," they told Rob they want to meet with me
(and I'll include you) directly.
They may cancel;
They may say, "we'll proceed with x, y, z conditions (including Mike G being off -- and he's fine with that);
OR, we may say, "We'll cancel first, invoke the 30 day clause, and ask for something to compensate for our
time and work.
But Rob will likely call or email in next hour or so to cancel tomorrow's kick-off meeting.

Good Afternoon,
I spoke with Phil Keisling about the PSU contract and he understands the situation. First of all, Mike will not work on this
project with PSU. Both Mike & Phil are in agreement on this. We have put the project on hold until you are able to meet
with him in early March. He understands that we will most likely revise the scope of the project and some of its language
but he hopes that we will keep it in place. I informed him that both of you are very interested in evolving the organization
but you would like some time to work through how and what we do. He is willing to meet earlier but I told him that you are
both quite busy with the legislative session and dealing with the budget dilemma. Phil reinforced that they are open as to
how this project is approached. Please call if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Rob

The last three are complete. After your conversation with Phil we can decide how we want the contract revised (if we
don?t chose to cancel it, they are prepared for that option as well). Gary, Laura & I are working on the first three. The
MOU will include more than the S&M as it is a good opportunity to fill in other nebulous areas missed in statute (i.e. rent,
utilities, sharing of resources?). We already have policies on the second two but I will pull them for revision.

A draft MOU outlining how OCE/DOC will work collaboratively and share costs/manage sales and marketing expenses
A draft OCE hiring protocol outline/policy
A draft policy outlining an OCE Advisory Council recruitmenUreview/appointments process
Conversations with PSU about ownership of the final product of the contract
Conversations with PSU about bolstering the confidentiality clause in the contract
Conversations with PSU regarding draft reviews prior to any final report being generated - during each Phase
Please let me know if I missed anything.

The question that needs to be asked is "how much money has the state had to pay imnates for having
inappropriate relations with staff over the last 8 years". Coffee creek has been the haven for this but it occurs all
over the department. Did I mention that Mitch's brother in law is the Assistant Superintendent at coffee creek?

Didn't know if you read the statesman. Good luck with the governor this morning. Remember
that if they would focus on changing their operating model and go after overhead they shouldn't
have to close prisons. I told Curtis that. The key is changing the operating model and
streamlining leadership.

Rob,

KIL_PSU_ 004178
You asked for my advice regarding whether or not it would be "legally feasible for OCE to fund activities that are not
directly related to prison work or training programs", in the context of OCE's authority under Or Const. Article 1 Sec. 41
and the applicable OCE statutes. I have now completed my initial review and concluded that OCE should not fund
activities that are not directly related to prison work or training programs. My analysis is summarized below:
As you know, Article 1, Sec,. 41 requires that inmates be "* * * actively engaged full time in work or on-the-job
training. The work or on-the-job training programs shall be established and overseen by the corrections director * *
*". The director has the authority to delegate this function to others, which was accomplished by the creation of OCE (see
ORS 421.305 and 421.344). Most importantly for this discussion, subsection 9 of Sec 41 also mandates that, "* * * All
income generated from prison work programs shall be kept separate from general fund accounts and shall only be used
for implementing, maintaining and developing prison work programs. * * *" (emphasis added).
Without getting into too much detail, as you also know, ORS 421.305 to 367 further describes OCE's broad authority to
establish prison work programs including the authority to install, equip and operate machines and plants, enter into
contracts or agreements that accomplish the marketing of inmate goods and services, etc. However, OCE's authority is
subject to the
authority granted to the Corrections Director by Sec. 41 (ORS 421.354). And, more specifically, ORS 421.359 states
that,
" * * * all income and revenue generated or received by Oregon Corrections Enterprises be used for the purposes
of discharging the functions and duties prescribed by Section 41.* * *"(emphasis added).
From the text of the letter you provided, it appears that OCE (via DOC) is being asked to fund administrative costs for the
Children of Incarcerated Parents (CIP) project. While support of such a program conceivably may be within ODOC's
broad statutory authority, it does not appear to be within OCE's constitutional or statutory authority as it does not appear
to relate to
the implementation, maintenance, or development of prison work programs. In fact, if my understanding of the CI P
program is correct, it does not even work directly with inmates, but rather with the children of inmates to help them better
understand and cope with the complexities of the criminal justice system. Unless my understanding is incorrect and it can
be demonstrated that funding this project is somehow directly rE3lated to the implementation, maintenance or development
of a prison work program, I would advise OCE to decline the funding request. OCE's expenditure of funds for this purpose
appears to be inconsistent with OCE's (and indirectly, DOC's) constitutional and statutory authority. As such, OCE's
expenditure of funds
.. could raise serious questions in the event of an audit, as well as potential personal liability by OCE officials responsible for
authorizing the expenditure.
Feel free to let me know if you have additional question? or would like to discuss this further.

You're talking about the same person who doesn't see a need for an audit because everything that M & M did
seems acceptable to her and doesn't want a report that makes her do the right thing if it differs from her personal
desires. I guess that she likes carrying other people's baggage.

The Director put her foot in it, first thing, by dealing directly with the Legislature on budget reductions, issuing

As with other organizations that have serious observable problems, DOC has bigger unobserved problems that

The Directors best shot to turn the page is to ask for an aggressive change of Director audit and ask PSU for a

In the meantime, any advise on other possible efforts to move things forward? I have thought about trying to

Mike -- I'm heartened by all of that. Interesting that the advice was 2005, and it's now being "revived". And how
Max gets thrown under the bus -- but Mitch stays unscathed! -- will be an interesting dynamic to watch.
J'll give Rob a call -- Marcus, perhaps you and I can try to chat with him some time tom011'0w, before you leave
for your trip next week?

Phil and Marcus,
Attached is a copy of AG advice that Rob got and then sent to Max in 2005.
I talked with Rob after his meeting with Colette and Mitch:
Colette is taking the attached advice seriously
They now like Rob, a lot
Max did improper things with OCE funds (that noise is Max going under the bus)
No discussion ofPSU contract at the meeting. Rob is still committed to doing the review.
I didn't mention our meeting this morning but said I'd suggest to you that you call Rob in advance of the DOC
meeting.
Enjoyed our discussion this morning.

Subject: Advice re: CIP Funding Request
PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL
Rob,
You asked for my advice regarding whether or not it would be "legally feasible for OCE to fund activities that are not
directly related to prison work or training programs", in the context of OCE's authority under Or Const. Article 1 Sec. 41
and the applicable OCE statutes. I have now completed my initial review and concluded that OCE should not fund
activities that are not directly related to prison work or training programs. My analysis is summarized below:
As you know, Article 1, Sec,. 41 requires that inmates be "* * * actively engaged full time in work or on-the-job
training. The work or on-the-job training programs shall be established and overseen by the corrections director * *
*". The director has the authority to delegate this function to others, which was accomplished by the creation of OCE (see
ORS 421.305'and 421.344). Most importantly for this discussion, subsection 9 of Sec 41 also mandates that, "* * * All
39
KIL_PSU_ 004197
income generated from prison work programs shall be kept separate from general fund accounts and shall only be used
for implementing, maintaining and developing prison work programs. * * *" (emphasis added).
Without getting into too much detail, as you also know, ORS 421.305 to 367 further describes OCE's broad authority to
establish prison work programs including the authority to install, equip and operate machines and plants, enter into
contracts or agreements that accomplish the marketing of inmate goods and services, etc. However, OCE's authority is
subject to the
authority granted to the Corrections Director by Sec. 41 (ORS 421.354). And, more specifically, ORS 421.359 states
that,
" * * * all income and revenue generated or received by Oregon Corrections Enterprises be used for the purposes
of discharging the functions and duties prescribed by Section 41. * * *"(emphasis added).
From the text of the letter you provided, it appears that OCE (via DOC) is being asked to fund administrative costs for the
Children of Incarcerated Parents (CIP) project. While support of such a program conceivably may be within ODOC's
broad statutory authority, it does not appear to be within OCE's constitutional or statutory authority as it does not appear
to relate to
the implementation, maintenance, or development of prison work programs. In fact, if my understanding of the CIP
program is correct, it does not even work directly with inmates, but rather with the children of inmates to help them better
understand and cope with the complexities of the criminal justice system. Unless my understanding is incorrect and it can
be demonstrated that funding this project is somehow directly related to the implementation, maintenance or development
of a prison work program, I would advise OCE to decline the funding request. OCE's expenditure of funds for this purpose
appears to be inconsistent with OCE's (and indirectly, DOC's) constitutional and statutory authority. As such, OCE's
expenditure of funds
could raise serious questions in the event of an audit, as well as potential personal liability by OCE officials responsible for
authorizing the expenditure.
Feel free to let me know if you have additional questions or would like to discuss this further.

Mourners remember slain eastern Oregon prison guard
Buddy Herron as 'a hero to us all'
Published: Monday, December 05,2011,6:45 PM Updated: Tuesday, December 06,2011,1:13 PM
By Richard Cockle, The Oregonian The Oregonian
PENDLETON? The selflessness of an eastern Oregon correctional officer and volunteer firefighter who
was killed by someone he tried to befriend should inspire everyone who knew him to live a better life,
Oregon Corrections Chief Max Williams said here Monday.
Buddy Ray Herron, 42, of the tiny Umatilla County farming town of Helix, was driving to his midnight-
to-8 a.m. job at the medium-security Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution in Pendleton Nov. 28
48
KIL_PSU_ 004206
when he stopped to help what he thought was a stranded motorist.
Pendleton police responded to a 9-1-1 call a short time later and found Herron sprawled along Oregon
11 with multiple stab wounds. He was pronounced dead at st. Anthony Hospital in Pendleton.
Twenty-two-year-old Joshua Charles Weeks, a 280-pound drifter and admitted methamphetamine
user with a long criminal history, was arrested a short time later near Hermiston after a police chase.
He confessed to killing Herron and is in the Umatilla County Correctional Facility, charged with murder.
More
The Oregonian?s continuing coverage of the stabbing death of corrections officer Buddy
Herron in eastern Oregon.
Monday's memorial service at the Vert Auditorium was attended by roughly 750 mourners, including
. hundreds of somber correctional officers, firefighters, paramedics, law enforcement officers and public
safety workers from around the Northwest.
"Words alone cannot express our feelings of grief and loss," Williams told them, describing Herron as
someone who lived with a deep sense of duty toward others. He treated everyone he met as though
they vyere his neighbors, said Williams.
Addressing Herron's three sons and a daughter, ages 11 to 20, Williams advised them: "Honor him by
following his example of hard work, duty and compassion."
Herron was an Arizona correctional officer for 12 years before accepting a job with the Eastern Oregon
Correctional Institution four years ago, said Richard McGraw, an EOCI assistant superintendent of
security.
McGraw remembered marveling, "How can he be so wide awake at 2 a.m.7" after an early morning
prison meeting with Herron a month ago. "Buddy was a hero to us all," he said. "He will not be
forgotten."
Herron was well known in Helix, population 184, for being volunteer with the Helix Rural Fire
Protection District, a rural neighborhood watch member, and s,?m.eone who tried always to be a Good
49
KIL_PSU_ 004207
Samaritan.
Jeff Wood, a bishop with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints' assembly in Pendleton that Herron attended, lamented that
the homicide might prompt some who knew Herron to back away
from lending a helping hand to those in need.
"I would plead with you, don't diminish your service to others," said
Wood.
"Buddy represented it all: honor, courage, bravery and sacrifice," said Helix Fire Chief Matt Benedict.
The service often resembled a military funeral, down to Herron's firefighter's coat and helmet placed
reverentially near his flag-draped casket, and the uniformed Department of Corrections Honor Guard
that presented the colors. other touches included an Oregon Fire Service Honor Guard conducting a
bell-ringing ceremony tqsignify the end of duty and a return to quarters for Herron" and a separate
Oregon Interagency Honor Guard that handled retrieval of thecolors.
A rifle salute was fired outsid,e the auditorium, and Herron's helmet, a fireman's whistle ~ n d three
flags were formally presented to his wife, Kimberly. A lO-block procession of fire trucks, police and
rescue vehicles and mourners accompanied the casket to the 132-year-old Helix Cemetery in the
rolling wheat country north of Pendleton after the service.
Andrea Neistadt, spokeswoman for the prison, said the true test for Pendleton, Helix and the
correctional system will be whether Herron's wife and four children are forgotten in the months ahead.
But that won't happen, she said.
"We will be there for her," Neistadt said of Kimberly Herron and her children. "This is not over for us
or for the community."

It kind of irritates me because other service providers such as the not for profits and community colleges do not
pay for any of that. In fact, DOC pays for them to be in the prisons.

Well, of course, space and utility costs to be paid by OCE should be costs in excess of
expenditures that would have been made by DOC absent OCE.
It might be interesting to see what contract supplemental guards needed by OCE would cost...

Subject: THE WALL STREET JOURNAL is writting about un-opened prisons
The article below outlines the cost of building and maintaining an unused prison in Oregon; I know
there are other states facing similar issues; can you let me know of any new, but never opened,
facilities in your state, please?
Thanks,

Oregon's most modern prison sits empty, unused since it was finished three years ago.
Though the state borrowed $120 million to build the medium-security unit at Deer Ridge
Correctional Institution, it hasn't had the money to guard, feed and otherwise care for
inmates the prison was supposed to hold.
It still doesn't.
Oregon taxpayers over the next two years will put more money than ever into the state
prison system, but it won't be enough. And the need will only grow as the state braces to
add nearly 1,500 prisoners over the next four years.
The state Corrections Department is losing 223 positions. Programs to keep inmates from
returning to prison are being weakened. Staff training on topics ranging from gang
identification to mental health treatment is being reduced once again. The minimum-
security prison next to the Oregon State Penitentiary, closed last fall to save money, will
remain dark.
And the prison in Madras, meant to house 1,228 inmates, will be
vacant another two years. The prison, built next to its minimum-
security sister, was commissioned when Oregon's economy was
booming but came online as state officials began slashing spending.
Rather than open the prison, state officials packed more inmates into existing prisons. Two
years ago, legislators spared the Corrections Department hundreds of new prisoners by
suspending Measure 57, designed to imprison more chronic thieves. The prison population
remained relatively flat.
But the prison system still has relentlessly chewed into the state's general fund, and its bite
will be even bigger for the 2011-13 budget, which took effect last week. The $1.3 billion
appropriated for prisons will take nearly a dime out of every gener.al fund dollar spent on
state government.
Every dollar spent
At first glance, the Corrections Department seemed to be a big winner over agencies that
saw their budgets slashed. Legislators added $116 million from the general fund. But that
was largely a boold{eeping change; legislators were stuck replacing federal money that they
used last time to pay prison bills, and that money is gone.
When the pencil work w.as done, the prison system ended up with an extra $3. million --
$125,000 a month. Prison officials need every dollar to cover increasing costs of salaries
and benefits for 4,500 employees, growing medical costs for 14,000 inmates, and other
expenses over which the agency has little control.
"This is as tight a budget as we've ever been given," said Max Williams, Corrections
Department director.
Worse, Williams and legislators have their eye on state forecasts showing the inmate
population growing in the next four years, putting fresh strain on taxpayers.
Legislators tweaked some sentencing laws to forestall the arrival of additional inmates.
They changed provisions of Measure 73 to put repeat drunken drivers in county jails
instead of prison. They once again shortened prison sentences for those who violate parole
and probation conditions.
But more significant reforms went nowhere, such as once again suspending Measure 57
and trimming certain Measure 11 sentences. A plan tu shift more convicts into less-costly
local jails also failed.
Shannon Wight, associate director of the Partnership for Safety and Justice, said the state
is spending ever more on prison cells while cutting programs that can prevent crime. She
cited reinstatement of ''''addiction-driven crimes" of Measure 57, which sets mandatory
minimum sentences for some repeat property offenders.
57
KIL_PSU_ 004215
"We're not going to get at what's causing those people to commit crimes," Wight said.
More cuts to make
Doug Harcleroad, policy adviser at the Oregon Anti-Crime Alliance, said Measure 57
should come back to life but agreed that Williams faces challenges in maintaining prison
programs that ease inmates back into society.
"That's the place where we're going to be significantly hurting," said Harcleroad, a former
district attorney. If that happens, he said, Oregonians should expect increased recidivism.
Legislators balked at cutting too deeply into prison treatment programs, and gave Williams
an extra $1 million to try moving certain inmates into communities for the last few months
of their sentences.
Williams also won authority for the first time to assess inmates a fee to help pay for their
imprisonment. Details are in the works, but the move is more symbolic than lucrative.
Legislators ran out of money long before they ran out of prison services to fund, so they've
tasked Williams with cutting another $28 million out of his operations. Williams isn't
certain how he will do that, and he's hemmed in by circumstances.
He can't cram more inmates into fewer prisons without triggering legal challenges.
Overcrowding has led to court oversight, such as in California. In Oregon, unions have
stopped shifts of inmates to understaffed prisons, effectively arguing safety concerns.
And health care Williams is required to provide inmates will take nearly $200 million of his
budget, even though legislators stripped 72 jobs from his medical staff.
"We hope to not do great damage to anyone spot," Williams said. Still, "there are corners
being cut."
Officers at risk
one corner, and that worries union officials .. Col'rections officers, once trained
at the state academy, now start the job with in-house training. Specialty training, such as
suicide prevention, is limited to certain workers.
Asa result, employees aren't trained as well as they should be for a challenging job, said
,Tim Woolery, corrections coordinator for Council 75 of the American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employees.
"Somebody's going to get hurt," said Woolery.
Williams said the agency expects a "very, very challenging and difficult" two years that
could get if the number of inmates showing up at the front starts to grow.
Williams can't post a "No Vacancy" sign.
State officials this week estimated he will have nearly 500 more inmates to care for by the
end of the current budget cycle and almost 1,500 by July 2015. Williams thinks that
increase will show up later, in the next budget cycle. A new forecast is due in October.
Harcleroad said sentencing reform is the only way to head off the surge in inmates.
"We're not making big advances in terms of correctional policy," Harcleroad said. "We're
going to have to write some big checks to open the rest of the beds and build the new prison
in Junction City or figure out how not to make that happen in a very conscious, careful
way." '
But with Measure 57 taking effect in January, Williams anticipates that by 2013 he will
need to reopen the closed Salem prison as a second women's institution and finally open
Deer Ridge medium-security prison.
Until then, the Corrections Department must cover the cost of maintaining that prison
without prisoners. The annual bill: $720,000.

Corrections Department incurs costs to keep it ready for use -- and
to repay the $120 million borrowed to build it. State officials now
expect the prison to come online in mid-2013.

Thanks. So her (and Mitch's idea) is that rather than OCE spending $150K to PSD to come up with
recommendations on how to make OCE a stronger organization, the two entities simply modify/update their
existing MOD and all will be sweetness and light?
And Rob's take on this? (not that he couldn't see it coming .... ).
I'm driving down to Colleen's event on Wednseday -- if you're going down and then coming back, want to go

JOHN ~ KITZHABE M D ~
GOVER.NOR
Agency Directors,
As you are well aware, ongoing economic uncertainty has impacted state revenue
projections, necessitating a budget rebalance plan for the remainder of the biennium.
On Friday, the Ways and Means Committee Co-Chairs released their proposed
budget. I do not expect the final budget to differ significantly, and I have attached a
memo from the Co-Chairs that outlines agency-specific budget revisions. I plan to sign
the budget when it reaches my desk.
First, I want to thank you for continuing to deliver the critical public services Oregonians
need and deserve in the most efficient, effective way possible under what I know are
difficult circumstances. I appreciate your deep involvement in the budget development
process and the spirit of collaboration and openness with which you have engaged in
identifying potential savings and enterprise initiatives.
The budget includes $28 million in unspecified personal services reductions across
General Fund/Lottery Fund and Other Funds agencies. The expectation is that the
Executive Branch will come back to a meeting of the Emergency Board in May with a
specific plan, and I want to take a moment to describe my approach going forward.
The additional time afforded to address the budget situation is a positive and productive
step that will allow a more thorough review of options and a strategic plan to achieve
targeted savings. Immediately following the session, Michael Jordan and I will convene
the Enterprise Leadership Team (EL T) to begin the process. Your active participation is
critical in helping craft a product that balances the need for further reductions with the
effective delivery of public services. I am convinced we can achieve both goals.
In the longer term, I am confident we can develop a more sustainable and strategic
approach, and I appreciate your ongoing participation in two key initiatives -- the 10-
Year Plan for Oregon and Operation: Oregon.
Again, thank you for your leadership. I urge you to share this message with all staff.
John A. Kitzhaber, MD.
Governor

Ex-Florida prison boss: Drunken orgies tainted
system

February 11, 20081From Abbie Boudreau and Scott Zamost CNN


James McDonough, Florida's former prison boss, said he inherited a system run like the mafia.
Softball, drunken orgies and a prison system run like the mafia. That's what Florida's
former prison secretary says he inherited when he took over one of the nation's largest
prison systems two years ago.
In fact, on his first day on the job, James McDonough says he walked into his office --
the same one his predecessor used -- and there was crime scene tape preventing
anyone from entering.
"That was an indication we had a problem in the department," McDonough told CNN in
an exclusive interview before he stepped down last Thursday.
McDonough revealed a startling list of alleged abuses and crimes going on inside
Florida's prisons:
Top prison officials admitting to kickbacks;
Guards importing and selling steroids in an effort to give them an edge on the softball
field;
65
KIL_PSU_ 004223
Taxpayer funds to pay for booze and women;
Guards who punished other guards who threatened to report them.
"Corruption had gone to an extreme," McDonough said, saying it all began at the top.
"They seemed to be drunk half the time and had orgies the other half, when they
weren't taking money and beating each other up." Watch a corrupted prison system
He added, "Women were treated like chattel in this department."
McDonough described a bizarre prison culture among those that ran the system -
- one that he says seemed obsessed with inter-department softball games and the
orgies after games.
"I cannot explain how big an obsession softball had become," he said. "People
were promoted on the spot after a softball game at the drunken party to high
positions in the department because they were able to hit a softball out of the
park a couple times."
"The connection between the softball and the parties and the corruption and the
beatings was greatly intertwined."
The parties and orgies were often carried out at a waterfront ranch house built on prison
grounds for a former warden with taxpayer dollars, McDonough said. The house was
completewith a bar, podltable and hot tub. See photos of the "party house" ,
McDonough is a former Army colonel who commanded troops in Vietnam and Africa.
He served as Florida's drug czar, before taking on the job as the head of Florida's prison
system, which oversees 90,000 inmates.
He left his post last Thursday as secretary of Florida's Department of Corrections
because, he says, he feels he has cleaned up the corruption. It's time, he said, "to turn
this\over to law and order people that have made this their life's goaL"
A Brooklyn, New York, native, McDonough says he witnessed the way the mafia worked
in his youth and it provided him a keen insight into how his prison predecessor, James
Crosby, operated.
"It reminded me of the petty mafia I saw on the streets of Brooklyn when I was growing
up in the late 1950s, early 1960s -- petty, small-minded, thugish, violent, dangerous,
outside the law, and completely intolerable for a society such as ours in the United
States of America," he said.
Crosby would later plead guilty to bribery charges in relation to kickbacks from a prison
vendor. He's now locked up in a federal prison. He refused CNN's request for an
interview for this report.
"He's serving time in a federal prison. I hope he reforms and gets out and prospers,"
McDonough said.
66
KIL_PSU_ 004224
He added, "When you have a rotten guy at the top, or gal at the top, it can be very
invasive, and it's a cancer that needs to be excised."
And getting rid of this "cancer" is exactly what McDonough says he did. McDonough
fired 90 top prison officials -- wardens, supervisors, colonels and majors -- claiming they
were corrupt or, at the very least, not to be trusted. He demoted 280 others.
Criminal charges were filed against more than 40 others, and most were convicted. In
addition to the orgies and other misconduct outside the cell blocks, there were other
allegations of prisoners being harmed, McDonough said.
"In some of the pockets of corruption,that we found, they [prisoners] were being
abused," he said.
Among those arrested were seven officers accused of beating inmates, including five
accused of forcing a prisoner to drink toilet water. All have pleaded not guilty.
Tina Hayes, the director of the prison's department initiatives who has worked in the
prison system for 28 years, said the atmosphere before McDonough arrived was "a little
tense" with workers "always on edge."
She said employees who didn't attend softball games or play on the teams were
"isolated" and "pushed aside."
"I used to tAli staff day in and day out: Keep your head high; do,what's right; you know
what morally is right; you've got some ethics; don't bow down to it," Hayes told CNN.
McDonough, she said) brought "standards back into the department."
"People can speak out now without being afraid to say what they need to say."
McDonough says the majority of the prison system's 28,000 employees were honest,
hard-working people who weren't corrupt at all. But he says many of the top prison
officials weren't and he believes he has weeded out "an organized vein of corruption."
"They were like frat boys out of control."

Mike -- As I reflected more on this, too, I reached the same place about the likelihood of a "maybe" at our
March 5th meeting.

KIL_PSU_ 004225
The question then is how best to respond to that situation, once the "maybe" is delivered. (They may well want
to "chat us up" for a while before getting to that, and as we've discussed, the best strategy is to have Marcus do
most of the talking about the substance of this).
Once the "definitive maybe" gets delivered, here's some of the things I've pondered about saying:
a) "Well, we assume you're speaking for Rob on this, since our contract is with OCE, not DOC."
b) "Can you share with us the basis on which you'll make a decision to proceed with the contract, and in what
time frame?
c) We've assembled the team, and even done some preliminary work; we'd sure appreciate a relatively quick
decision.
Perhaps none, or all, or some of these are wOlih saying. What I do NOT think would be productive is:
d) Asking them to explain (any further) WHY they're at "maybe." (The more our silence/lack of curiosity shows
on that question, I think the more unsettled they might get about what we lmow)
e) Sticking around in the meeting much longer. "Well, if that's the case, please let us lmow when/if you're ready
to go. We've assembled a great team, and we're very excited about the project and helping OCE move forward-
- but obviously, if Rob and you all aren't ready to go there's not much we can do until then ......
So in this case, Mike (and I'm filling Marcus in here), we'll graciously exit the meeting, and then wait, and see
whether you can move a "maybe" to "yes" by making it clear to the DOC folks that the "least ugly/stupid" thing
they could do right now is to bring us in to do the work (and, no doubt, keep close tabs on us as we do the
work) ... , .. :
And Marcus, Rob and Mike thought that if we get a "no" -- we very quickly conclude the meeting and leave
(which would be the best way to unsettle them, conveying to themJhat we know EXACTLY why
they've decided to cancel. ... )
Fmiher thoughts? (Including on a-e, above?).
And one more question/issue: They might ask us, point blank, "Has Rob to either of you about issues of
concem re inappropriate expenditures, mis-use of hiring authority, possible legal compliance issues, between
DOC and OCE?"
What would you recommend we say to such direct queries? We could say something like "that's really between
us and our client here, which isn't DOC -- and that's standard operating procedure." Or be more direct -- e.g,
"Yes, he has had some past concems, though he didn't provide any information to us, and as you know, this
engagement is not about the past but about the future of OCE." I want to have a decent answer to such direct
questions -- but in a way that doesn't compromise Rob or our own integrity.

with Colette that we have Mike Jordan there as well.
To that end I'm fairly sure that you'll get a "maybe" rather than a "yes or no" on Monday. My view is that
"maybe" has the same weight for Rob as "no".

In my career when I assumed new duties I called for audits and reviews first thing, that way if there was a
problem we got it taken care of and I didn't get any on me. Colette has chosen to join Mitch in the Bunker - I
don't expect any smarter choices in the future.

Mitch is mentioned extensively in this article. It's an example of one of his creative ideas that you have seen
before. Time will tell if it has positive results. Of course DOC is doing it's own research on the results. I'm sure
that it will classify all of the recent mini riots on the prison yards all over the system into another bucket. In the
mean time Oregon lost track of all of it's gang activity and can't relay any gang information to the Feds or other
states. I notice that it is easy to do smoke and mirrors if you control all of the information.

Mike -- Thanks. In a "maybe" situation, looks like "c" only makes the most sense -- and a quick leaving.
And of course, this morning we woke up to the Oregonian having a front page story .... by Les Zaitz ..... with
Mitch Morrow mentioned in the 3rd paragraph ---- and it's a glowing portrayal of his brilliant, innovative
leadership in turning inmates lives around! No matter that the "charts" -- never referenced in the story -- don't
exactly show an unambiguous picture of success. And, reading closely, it appears that the EV ALUATION of
this new initiative will rest in the hands of -- well, the DOC inspector general!
So when you say you think Les is "fooled" -- wow, must he ever be! I suspect that this story will do little or
nothing to make Mitch feel any less dominant and "in charge" at DOC -- and perhaps embolden him even to
give us an outright "no" tomorrow. Better case, of course, is it makes him feel a bit invulnerable -- what the
heck, let PSU come in, though I'm not feeling that one as strongly!
Marcus and I will be meeting early in the morning, and then driving down to Salem for our 9 am. We may want
to give you call around 8:30 on the way down; you have time?
Thanks

If the answer is "maybe" I think we can assume that they want to kill the project. You'll have to assess the tone
and content of how "maybe" is framed but, if! were you, I'd be prepared to say something akin to "C": "OK,
we've been gearing up to proceed in a way that would allow us to meet the deadline in the agreement, we'd
appreciate your letting us know as soon as possible".
Statements "A" and "B" are challenging, fall into Mitch's paranoia (comfort) zone and make it easy to
rationalize telminating the contract. "A" - PSU doesn't recognize our chain of command and will be a loose
cannon. "B" - Hey, we are the customer, "we don't got to show no stinking badges" (Bogart - Treasure of the
Sierra Madre). I think "D" and "E" are off the table.
Mitch, and I guess Colette, use strategic information that can be found exclusively within the confines of
DOC. That approach has worked well in the past, due in large measure to Max Williams skill in dealing with
the world outside of DOC. Colette is no Max Williams. My guess is that Mitch retained his position, in spite of
advice to the contrary, because of pressure from Jackie Winters and Peter Courtney who were both pitching for
him to be the Director - motivated by Max. Les Zaitz is certainly fooled. There is every reason for Mitch to feel
"in charge" as well as paranoid. The idea that there might be strategic information beyond the walls of DOC
isn't on the table for Mitch. Any reaction that challenges his authority, which he wields without limits within
DOC, will decrease chances of the project going forward.

Good Morning Neil,
Can you please review the attached letter of agreement and give me advice on whether or not paragraph 1 is legal
(comparing it to the AG opinion of 2005)? I still question that it may be just a different way to co-mingle funds. This is the
paragraph of concern:
In lieu of rental payments to DOC, OCE shall establish a sub-account based on a mutually agreed upon
percentage of OCE annual net income for the purpose of maintenance, repairs, or security enhancements
related to OCE inmate work programs at DOC institutions and facilities where OCE business units are
located. The Director of DOC and the OCE Administrator will convene a work group annually to determine
the distribution of the subaccount. However, in accordance with ORS 421.442, OCE cannot make direct
cash disbursements to DOC.

Hi Colette & Mitch,
I wanted to make sure that we were not going to be in conflict with the earlier AG opinions in regards to the MOU that we
have been working on. As a result, I had Neil Bryant do a confidential review of the MOU. His evaluation suggests that
certain paragraphs would not be in compliance and recommended a DOJ review if we wanted to proceed with it. He said
that you could call him if you like. Perhaps we can discuss this when you are available.
Thanks,

Subject: RE: OCE/PSU Contract
Rob,
Colette and I are in full agreement with your view of the PSU/OCE Agreement, with one exception (based on the below
email). We do not have an interest in having PSU do a ?structural review? or provide a ?menu? of options, which would
include OCE moving towards an NFP model. We informed Dr. Ingle and Mr. Keisling of that when we met. There may be
other minor adjustments to the Agreement, but we were very clear on this point. Also, there is very little interest on our
part in putting together a Legislative agenda regarding any statute changes (or constitutional ones for that matter) to
OCE, at least for the 2013 ? 2015 session. We believe there is some heavy lifting to be done around the programmatic
elements and how we build operational crossover between Operations, Offender Management and Rehabilitation,
Community Corrections and OCE. We are also wanting Research to be engaged. Lots to discuss. I have some time this
morning if you are available.

Subject: RE: OCE/PSU Contract
I really like the idea of including the Assistant Directors and the ?co-producing? approach. My original intent of this
project was to have a business practice review that would ~ l y z e the relationship between DOC & OCE from both a
business and service provider relationship. The business review information would then be used to develop a menu of
policy options regarding the mission and service base of the organization. This may include things like increasing the type
of work skills training (i.e. WFD & apprenticeship), drug & alcohol, and cognitive programs that would be integrated into
our structure. We were also going to look at expanding our service base to include the youth authority, the state hospital,
and transitional programs that target releasing offenders. Additionally there was to be a structural review that would
provide a menu of options for the Director to consider. Ultimately we would have a legal review of the different findings
and options that would provide recommended statutory and constitutional changes. I wanted a full menu of options so that
we could put together a 10 year strategic plan for the organization. The current agreement is fairly wide open with this
project so it is really up to you and Colette as to how we proceed.
Thanks,
Rob

Mitch,
As agreed at our meeting with Colette and Phil on the 5th of March, thanks for getting back to us with
recommendations for next steps. We especially appreciate your effOlis in identifying a steering committee for
the project from both DOC and aCE to assist us in managing (or what we call "co-producing") the contract
until completion.
Let me bring you up to date on actions our contract team has taken since the 5th, and layout some specific
suggestions for ensuring that the our first meeting with the steering committee is well organized and highly
productive. I am only copying this to Rob since your message singles him out to work with us in making
al1'angements for the meeting, and also to Shannon (our project manager). Here is the brief update:
1. Following the meeting, I prepared a set of "Meeting Highlights" (see attached) and shared them with our
internal CPS project team in a meeting that we held today. These are for our internal team records. Please send
along any revisions or modifications that you deem required. We planned the meeting last week to bring the
team up to date, and discuss implications for moving forward.
2. Since I received your e-mail right before our meeting today at noon, I also shared ,the contents of your e-mail
with the team. We are in agreement with the focus of the first meeting being on the revised business case and
project scope. And all of the team agreed that we need a clear problem/oppOliunitystatement along with other
items outlined in your memo. To be fully prepared for the steering committee meeting, our team needs to do
additional reading and internal preparation. This will require some "further action" on our pmi, inCluding .
working out the agenda, materials and facilitation process for the meeting. It would be best, based on my
previous experience, for Shannon and I to meet with you and Rob prior to the kick-off meeting (with the full
steering committee and our team) to ensure we are all on the same page with the agenda and facilitation
process. Do you have time this Weds. or Thursday for an initial meeting with our core planning team?
3. One complicating matter -- as a result of the delayed kick-off of the project -- is that we will be unable to do
the meeting with the steering committee until early in April. I have a long planned business trip abroad from
the 16th to the 30th of March that I must take. So it would be valuable to have a pre-planning session for the
April kick-off prior to the 16th. Is it possible to squeeze a meeting in prior to my depaliure on the 16th?
4. There is also one other issue with the contact that I need to mention. During the meeting this morning here,
our contractslbudget officer pointed out that our first "contractual deliverable" along with an initial reque1st for
payment is due on the 31st of March. We have obviously incurred some stmi-up costs since the contract with
signed, but will not be able to finish the Phase 1 deliverable by the 31 st of March -- given our decisions to shift
the start-up timing and scope. So we need to decide how to deal with that, and we need to get a modification of
that date (and others I suppose) in writing.
Those are my key suggestions for now. Our team remains excited about this 0ppOliunity.

Dr. Ingle,
As a follow-up to our meeting last week, I wanted to provide a recommendation for next steps. Director
Peters and I would like to set up a steering committee, that is representative of both DOC and aCE, to assist
with defining a business case and project scope as it relates to the contract between aCE and PSU, and to
manage the contract until completion. Suggested DOC/aCE Steering Committee members will include Rob
Killgore, Laura Osborne and Gary Kilmer from aCE administration and Mike Gower (Assistant DirectorL Chane
Griggs (Assistant Director) and Ginger Martin (Assistant Director) from the DOC executive team. My role will
be as the Executive Sponsor. I would like to set up a meeting between PSU staff, steering committee
members and myself prior to any further action occurring. Along with building a business case and defining a
project scope at our first meeting, I think it would be important to address the following issues as well:
Draft a clear problem/opportunity statement
Write a goal statement - a concise, measurable outcome to be accomplished
Develop a list of critical stakeholders
Build a communication plan toget the. contract off on the right footing
',",' -
Establish clarity around a reporting matrix (how often, who with, format, delivery mechanism, level of
detail)
Build a contact list
Determine product dates
There may be more issues (ownership of the final product, confidentialityL but this should get us started.
will ask Rob to make arrangements for our first meeting. I look forward to the conversation/planning.

Subject: OCE Business Practice Review "
Colleagues,
I wanted to inform you about a conversation Rob Killgore and I had regarding Oregon Corrections Enterprises (OCE). As
you all know, I have a deep affection for OCE given my history with the organization and have always appreciated Rob's
leadership of OCE since my leaving in 2002. When Rob took over as the Administrator, we both knew that maintaining a
healthy working relationship between DOC and OCEwas critical to building a solid foundation for the future of OCE. We
knew this because prior to our deciding to make this one of OCE's 'primary business goals, the relationship between the
two was toxic. As a result, the communication was bad, there was territorial behavior and a significant divide between
institution and aCE management. OCE was headed for insolvency if their business practices did not drastically change
and if the relationships between the businesses themselves and DOC leadership did not dramatically improve. Of equal
importance was improving the relationships between OCE management and labor leadership, between managers and
OCE employee's in general, with external business partners, elected officials, stakeholders and customers (the most
important of all). Much work was needing to be done.
In an attempt to always be developing and managing the many varied relationships OCE encounters given their unique
business model (a quasi-state government, financially self-sustaining, business-like entity), they are always working to
find ways to "give back." I wanted to share a few examples of the many ways OCE has "given back" over the years:
DOC Operational
Heart-beat monitors for institution vehicle gates
Security enhancement infrastructure upgrades
Business expansions/re-Iocations
Running business that are not profitable, but employ inmates
Political
Desks and office decor for the Legislature for at or b,elow cost
Charitable
Boys Scouts of America
Missing Children's Golf Tournament
DOC Support As Primary Stakeholder/Business Partner
Display furniture in offices and hallways
Multiple
88
KIL_PSU_ 004246
Financial support for mealslrefreshments for DOC Leadership/awards banquets/retirements
A new reception desk at TRCI
Most recently, OCE really stepped up to support EOCI (where OCE has multiple businesses) during one of the more
tragic moments in our agencies history, the homicide of Correctional Officer Buddy Herron. OCE paid for hotel
accommodations for the out-of-state family members of the fallen officer and his widow, provided food and water for not
only our Honor Guard, but all other Honor Guard members who traveled to attend the ceremonies and paid for the use of
a transport vehicle to get EOCI staff to the funeral and then return them back to the institution. Not enough can be said
about the tremendous commitment OCE displayed towards one of it's more significant business partners. Their
contributions and support are very much appreciated and will not soon be forgotten.
Even though the DOC is only 20% of OCE's overall business, Rob knows that 100% of their operation and workforce
resides within DOC institutions, which makes maintaining the DOC/OCE working relationship critical. We have been
talking about how to build a model that puts a more formalized structure around OCE's contribution activities. Many years
have passed since an extensive review of OCE's business practices has occurred and we think it might be time to do just
that. We are not completely sure quite yet how things should look, but we wanted to keep folks in the loop as
conversations begin to take place. We have agreed that we will curtail OCE's contribution activities until such time the
review can be completed. Of course, there will always seem to be opportunities for exceptions to be discussed. An
exception process is being developed and we will get that to you as soon as it is completed.
As a result of this decision, OCE will not be providing a contribution for the upcoming DOC awards banquet. I know that
we have always served a meal at the banquet, but lets start making alternative plans now. I understand this email will
cause some questions. Please feel free to contact either Rob or me and we will do our best to provide answers. Thanks
for your patience as we go through this review and transition process.

They may cancel;
They may say, "we'll proceed with x, y, z conditions (including Mike G being off -- and he's fine with that);
OR, we may say, "We'll cancel first, invoke the 30 day clause, and ask for something to compensate for our

Good Afternoon,
I spoke with Phil Keisling about the PSU contract and he understands the situation. First of all, Mike will not work on this
project with PSU. Both Mike & Phil are in agreement on this. We have put the project on hold until you are able to meet
with him in early March. He understands that we will most likely revise the scope of the project and some of its language
but he hopes that we will keep it in place. I informed him that both of you are very interested in evolving the organization
but you would like some time to work through how and what we do. He is willing to meet earlier but I told him that you are
both quite busy with the legislative session and dealing with the budget dilemma. Phil reinforced that they are open as to
how this project is approached. Please call if you have any questions.
Thanks,

The last three are complete. After your conversation with Phil we can decide how we want the contract revised (if we

MOU will include more than the S&M as it is a good opportunity to fill in other nebulous areas missed in statute (i.e. rent,
utilities, sharing of resources?). We already have policies on the second two but I will pull them for revision.

I'd be happy to advise you on an informal, volunteer, basis if the project goes forward. Rob suggested that Brett
Wilcox join the advisory committee and the Director vetoed the idea so I'm feeling in good company.
I'd love to work on a project if a good fit arises, I like Marcus.
When you get a minute would you remind me when the next meeting of the round table (don't remember what
you called it) meets? The group I attended last month.

The question that needs to be asked is "how much money has the state had to pay inmates for having
inappropriate relations with staff over the last 8 years". Coffee creek has been the haven for this but it occurs all
over the depatiment. Did I mention that Mitch's brother in law is the Assistant Superintendent at coffee creek?

Didn't know if you read the statesman. Good luck with the governor this morning. Remember
that if they would focus on changing their operating model and go after overhead they shouldn't
have to close prisons. I told Curtis that. The key is changing the operating model and
streamlining leadership.

Subject: Advice re: CIP Funding Request
PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL
Rob,
You asked for my advice regarding whether or not it would be "legally feasible for OCE to fund activities that are not
directly related to prison work or training programs", in the context of OCE's authority under Or Const. Article 1 Sec. 41
and the applicable OCE statutes. I have now completed my initial review and concluded that OCE should not fund
activities that are not directly related to prison work or training programs. My analysis is summarized below:
As you know, Article 1, Sec,. 41 requires that inmates be "* * * actively engaged full time in work or on-the-job
training. The work or on-the-job training programs shall be established and overseen by the corrections director * *
*". The director has the authority to delegate this function to others, which was accomplished by the creation of OCE (see
ORS 421.305 and 421.344). Most importantly for this discussion, subsection 9 of Sec 41 also mandates that, "* * * All
income generated from prison work programs shall be kept separate from general fund accounts and shall only be used
for implementing, maintaining and developing prison work programs. * * *" (emphasis added).
Without getting into too much detail, as you also know, ORS 421.305 to 367 further describes OCE's broad authority to
establish prison work programs including the authority to install, equip and operate machines and plants, enter into
contracts or agreements that accomplish the marketing of inmate goods and services, etc. However, OCE's authority is
subject to the
authority granted to the Corrections Director by Sec. 41 (ORS 421.354). And, more specifically, ORS 421.359 states
that,
" * * * all income and revenue generated or received by Oregon Corrections Enterprises be used for the purposes
of discharging the functions ~ d duties prescribed by Section 41. * * *"(emphasis added) ...
From the text of the letter you provided, it appears that OCE (via DOC) is being asked to fund administrative costs for the
Children of Incarcerated Parents (CIP) project. While support of such a program conceivably may be within ODOC's
broad statutory authority, it does not appear to be vvithin OCE's constitutional or statutoryauthorityas it does not appear
to relate to
the implementc;ltion, maintenance, or development of prison work programs. _In fact, if my understanding of the CIP
program is correct, it does not even work directly with inmates, but rather with the children of inmates to help them better
understand andcope with the complexities of the criminal justice system: Unless my understanding is incorrect and it can
be demonstrated that funding this project is somehow directly related to the implementation, maintenand::l or development
of a prison work program, I would-advise OCE to decline the funding request. OCE's expenditure of funds for this purpose
appears to be inconsistent with OCE's (and indirectly, DOC's) constitutional and statutory authority. As such, OCE's
expenditure of funds
could raise serious questions in the event of an audit, as well as potential personal liability by OCE officials responsible for
authorizing the expenditure.
Feel free to let me know if you have additional questions or would like to discuss this further.

You're talking about the same person who doesn't see a need for an audit because everything that M & M did
seems acceptable to her and doesn't want a report that makes her do the right thing if it differs from her personal

mandates that, "* * * All income generated from prison work programs shall be kept separate from general fund
accounts and shall only be used for implementing, maintaining and developing prison work programs. * * *"
(emphasis added).
Without getting into too much detail, as you also know, ORS 421.305 to 367 further describes OCE's broad
authority to
establish prison work programs including the authority to install, equip and operate machines and plants, enter
into contracts or agreements that accomplish the marketing of inmate goods and services, etc. However"OCE's
authority is subject to the
authority granted to the Corrections Director by Sec. 41 (ORS 421.354). And, more specifically, ORS 421.359
states that,
" * * * all income and revenue generated or received by Oregon Corrections Enterprises be used for
the purposes of discharging the functions and duties prescribed by Section 41.* * *"(emphasis added).
From the, textof.the letter you provided, it appears that OCE (via DOC) is being asked to fund administrative costs
for the Children of Incarcerated Parents (CIP) project. While support of such a program conceivably may be
withiri ODOC's broad statutory authority, it does not appear to be within OCE's constitutional or statutory authority
as it does not appear to relate to .
the implementation,. maintenance, or development of prison work programs. In fad, if my understanding of the
CIP program is correct, it does not even work directly with inmates, but rather with the children of inmates to help
them better understand and cope with the complexities of the criminal justice system. Unless my understanding
is incorrect and it can be demonstrated that funding this project is somehow directly related to the
implementation, maintenance or development of a prison work program, I would advise OCE to decline the
funding request. OCE's expenditure of funds for this purpose appears to be inconsistent with OCE's (and
indirectly, DOC's) constitutional and statutory authority. As such, OCE's expenditure of funds
could raise serious questions in the event of an audit, as well as potential personal liability by OCE officials
responsible for authorizing the expenditure.
Feel free to let me know if you have additional questions or would like to discuss this further.

That all seems like spot on, excellent advice.
I did notice the flap with the Gov's office (and wonder, to what extent, Mitch might have played in that!). But in
the meantime, the "informed innocence" posture seems exactly right.
Yes, I think it would be good to get together here, and maybe include Marcus. He's out the week of Febmary
27th, but 11 am on 2122 might work. Work for you?

The relationships between and among the players in OYA, DOC and OCE are fraught with suspicion and
paranoia. I'd strongly advise that you not try to engage in any communication outside of meeting with the
Director and her Assistant. That kind of communication, no matter how well intended, will not be a secret and
will be interpreted as hostile and threatening. I'd go with informed innocence.
The Director put her foot in it, first thing, by dealing directly with the Legislature on budget reductions, issuing
a cut proposal, and got publicly contradicted by the Governor's office so those nerve endings are frayed.
Continuation with the contract with PSU, for the Director and Assistant, is a decision about the threat the review

As with other organizations that have serious observable problems, DOC has bigger unobserved problems that

The Directors best shot to turn the page is to ask for an aggressive change of Director audit and ask PSU .for a
hard look at oem. Failing that she'll own what happens next.

Marcus and I are scheduled to meet with Colette and Mitch in Salem at 9 am, Monday, March 5th. They called
back pretty quickly (last week) to set this up.
In the meantime, any advise on other possible efforts to move things forward? I have thought about trying to
visit, off site, with Collette 1 x 1 before the big meeting, or calling Fariborz or Jeanne at OYA and getting their
advice (and maybe they could send a message to Collette as to how honorably and competently we'd approach
this effort). But all these ca11'y some risks, and if you think there's a decent likelihood that this will simply be a
"re set expectations, but proceed" session on March 5, probably better to just wait.

Rob,

KIL_PSU_ 004287
You asked for my advice regarding whether or not it would be "legally feasible for OCE to fund activities that are not
directly related to prison work or training programs", in the context of OCE's authority under Or Const. Article 1 Sec. 41
and the applicable OCE statutes. I have now completed my initial review and concluded that OCE should not fund
activities that are not directly related to prison work or training programs. My analysis is summarized below:
As you know, Article 1, Sec,. 41 requires that inmates be "* * * actively engaged full time in work or on-the-job
training. The work or on-the-job training programs shall be established and overseen by the corrections director * *
*". The director has the authority to delegate this function to others, which was accomplished by the creation of OCE (see
ORS 421.305 and 421.344). Most importantly for this discussion, subsection 9 of Sec 41 also mandates that, "* * * All
income generated from prison work programs shall be kept separate from general fund accounts and shall only be used
for implementing, maintaining and developing prison work programs. * * *" (emphasis added).
Without getting into too much detail, as you also know, ORS 421.305 to 367 further describes OCE's broad authority to
establish prison work programs including the authority to install, equip and operate machines and plants, enter into
contracts or agreements that accomplish the marketing of inmate goods and services, etc. However, OCE's authority is
subject to the
authority granted to the Corrections Director by Sec. 41 (ORS 421.354). And, more specifically, ORS 421.359 states
that, .
" * * * all income and revenue generated or received by Oregon Corrections Enterprises be used for the purposes
of discharging the functions and duties prescribed by Section 41.* * *"(emphasis added).
From the text of the letter you provided, it appears that OCE (via DOC) is being asked to fund administrative costs for the
Children of Incarcerated Parents (CIP) project. While support of such a program conceivably may be within ODOC's
broad statutory authority, it does not appear to be within OCE's constitutional or statutory authority as it does not appear
to relate to
the implementation, maintenance, or development of prison work programs. In fact, if my understanding of the CIP
program is correct, it does not even work directly with inmates, but rather with the children of inmates to help them better
Understand and cope with the complexities of the criminal justice system. Unless my understanding is incorrect and it can
be demonstrated that funding this project is somehow directly related to the implementation, maintenance or development
of a prison work program: I would advise OCE to decline the funding request. OCE's expenditure of funds for this purpose
appears to be inqonsistent with OCE's (and indirectly, DOC's) constitutional and statutory authority. As such, OCE's
expenditure of funds
could raise serious questions in the event of an audit, as well as potential personal liability by OCE officials responsible for
authorizing the expenditure.

Mourners remember slain eastern Oregon prison guard
Buddy Herron as fa hero to us all'

PENDLETON? The selflessness of an eastern Oregon correctional officer and volunteer firefighter who
was killed by someone he tried to befriend should inspire everyone who knew him to live a better life,
Oregon Corrections Chief Max Williams said here Monday.
Buddy Ray Herron, 42, of the tiny Umatilla County farming town of Helix, was driving to his midnight-
48
KIL_PSU_ 004296
to-8 a.m. job at the medium-security Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution in Pendleton Nov. 28
when he stopped to help what he thought was a stranded motorist.
Pendleton police responded to a 9-1-1 call a short time later and found Herron sprawled along Oregon
11 with multiple stab wounds. He was pronounced dead at St. Anthony Hospital in Pendleton.
Twenty-two-year-old Joshua Charles Weeks, a 280-pound drifter and admitted methamphetamine
user with a long criminal history, was arrested a short time later near Hermiston after a police chase.
He confessed to killing Herron and is in the Umatilla County Correctional Facility, charged with murder.

The Oregonian?s continuing coverage of the stabbing death of corrections officer Buddy
Herron in eastern Oregon.
Monday's memorial service at the Vert Auditorium was attended by roughly 750 mourners, including
hundreds of somber correctional officers, firefighters, paramedics, law enforcement officers and public
safety workers from around the Northwest.
"Words alone cannot express our feelings of grief and loss," Williams told them, describing Herron as
someone who lived with a deep sense of duty toward others. He treated everyone he met as though
they were his neighbors, said Williams.
Addressing Herron's three sons and a daughter, ages 11 to 20, Williams advised them: "Honor him by
following his example of hard work, duty and compassion."
Herron was an Arizona correctional officer for 12 years before accepting a job with the Eastern Oregon
Correctional Institution four years ago, said Richard McGraw, an EOCI assistant superintendent of
security.
McGraw remembered marveling, "How can he be so wide awake at 2 a.m.?" after an early morning
prison meeting with Herron a month ago. "Buddy was a hero to us all," he said. "He will not be
forgotten. "
Herron was well known in Helix, population 184, for being volunteer with the Helix Rural Fire
49
KIL_PSU_ 004297
Protection District, a rural neighborhood watch member, and someone who tried always to be a Good
Samaritan.
Jeff Wood, a bishop with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints' assembly in Pendleton that Herron attended, lamented that
the homicide might prompt some who knew Herron to back away
from lending a helping hand to those in need.
"I would plead with you, don't diminish your service to others," said
Wood.
"Buddy represented it all: honor, courage, bravery and sacrifice," said Helix Fire Chief Matt Benedict.
The service often resembled a military funeral, down to Herron's firefighter's coat and helmet placed
reverentially near his flag-draped casket, and the uniformed Department of Corrections Honor Guard
that presented the. colors. Other touches included an Oregon Fire Service HonQr Guard conducting a
bell-ringing ceremony to signify the end of duty and a return to quarters for Herron, and a separate
Oregon Interagency Honor Guard that handled retrieval of the colors.
A rifle salute was fired outside the auditorium, and Herron's helmet, a fireman's whistle and three
flags were formally presented to his wife, Kimberly. A lO-block procession of fire trucks, police and
rescue vehicles and mourners accompanied the casket to the 132-year-old Helix Cemetery in the
rolling wheat country north of Pendleton after the service.
Andrea Neistadt, spokeswoman for the prison, said the true test for Pendleton, Helix and the
correctional system will be whether Herron's wife and four children are forgotten in the months ahead.
But that won't happen, she said.
"We will be there for her," Neistadt said of Kimberly Herron and her children. "This is not over for us
or for the community."

It kind of irritates me because other service providers such as the not for profits and community colleges do not
pay for any ofthat. In fact, DOC pays for them to be in the prisons.

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL.
503-502-0112
Oregon's most modern prison sits empty, unused since it was finished three years ago.
Though the state borrowed $120 million to build the medium-security unit at Deer Ridge
Correctional Institution, it hasn't had the money to guard, feed and otherwise care for
inmates the prison was supposed to hold.
It still doesn't.
Oregon taxpayers over the next two years will put more money than ever into the state
prison system, but it won't be enough. And the need will only grow as the state braces to
add nearly 1,500 prisoners over the next four years.
The state Corrections Department is losing 223 positions. Programs to keep inmates from
returning to prison are being weakened. Staff training on topics ranging from gan'g
identification to mental health treatment is being reduced once again. The minimum-
security prison next to the Oregon State Penitentiary, closed last fall to save money, will
remain dark.
And the prison in Madras, meant to house 1,228 inmates, will be
vacant another two years. The prison, built next to its minimum-
security sister, was commissioned when Oregon's economy was
booming but came online as state officials began slashing spending.
Rather than open the prison, state officials packed more inmates into existing prisons. Two
years ago, legislators spared the Corrections Department hundreds of new prisoners by
suspending. Measure 57, designed to imprison more chronic thiev.es. The prison population
remained relatively flat.
"But the prison system still has relentlessly chewed into the state's general fund, and its bite
will be even bigger fOFthe 2011-13 budget, which took effect last week. The $1.3 billion
allpropriated for prisons will take nearly a dime out of every general fund dollar spent on
state government.
Every dollar spent
At first glance, the Corrections Department seemed to be a big winner over agencies that
saw their budgets slashed. Legislators added $116 million from the general fund. But that
was largely a boold{eeping change; legislators were stuck replacing federal money that they
used last time to pay prison bills, and that money is gone.
When the pencil work was done, the prison system ended up with an extra $3 million --
$125,000 a month. Prison officials need every dollar to cover increasing costs of salaries
and benefits for 4,500 employees, growing medical costs for 14,000 inmates, and other
expenses over which the agency has little control.
"This is as tight a budget as we've ever been given," said Max Williams, Corrections
Department director.
Worse, Williams and legislators have their eye on state forecasts showing the inmate
population growing in the next four years, putting fresh strain on taxpayers.
Legislators tweaked some sentencing laws to forestall the arrival of additional inmates.
They changed provisions of Measure 73 to put repeat drunken drivers in county jails
instead of prison. They once again shortened prison sentences for tbose who violate parole
and probation conditions.
But more significant reforms went nowbere, sucb as once again suspending Measure 57
and trimming certain Measure 11 sentences. A plan to shift more convicts into less-costly
local jails also failed.
57
KIL_PSU_ 004305
Shannon Wight, associate director of the Partnership for Safety and Justice, said the state
is spending ever more on prison cells while cutting programs that can prevent crime. She
cited reinstatement of "addiction-driven crimes" of Measure 57, which sets mandatory
minimum sentences for some repeat property offenders.
"We're not going to get at what's causing those people to commit crimes," Wight said.
More cuts to make
Doug Harcleroad, policy adviser at the Oregon Anti-Crime Alliance, said Measure 57
should come back to life but agreed that Williams faces challenges in maintaining prison
programs that ease inmates back into society.
"That's the place where we're going to be significantly hurting," said Harcleroad, a former
district attorney. If that happens, he said, Oregonians should expect increased recidivism.
Legislators balked at cutting too deeply into prison treatment programs, and gave Williams
an extra $1 million to try moving certain inmates into communities for the last few months
of their sentences.
Williams also won authority for the first time to assess inmates a fee to help pay for their
imprisonment. Details are in the works, but the move is more symbolic than lucrative.
Legislators ran out of money long before they ran out of prison services to fund, so they've
tasked Williams with cutting another $28 million out of his operations. Williams isn't
certain how he will do that, and he's hemmed in by circumstances.
He can't cram more inmates into fewer prisons without triggering legal challenges.
Overcrowding has led to court oversight, such as in California. In Oregon, unions have
stopped shifts of inmates to understaffed prisons, effectively arguing safety concerns.
And health care Williams is required to provide inmates will take nearly $200 million of his
budget, even though legislators stripped 72 jobs from his medical staff.
: ',Wtl hope to not do great damage to anyone spot," W,illiams said. Still, "there are corners
being cut. "
Officers at risk
Training is one corner, and that worries union officials. Corrections officers, once trained
at tl1.e state academy, now start the job with in-house training. Specialty training, such as
suicide prevention, is limited to certain workers.
As a result, employees aren'ttrained as well as they should be for a challenging job, said
Tim Woolery, corrections coordinator for Council 75 of the Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employees.
"Somebody's going to get hurt," said Woolery.
Williams said the agency expects a "very, very challenging and difficult" two years that
could get worse if the number of inmates showing up at the front gates starts to grow.
Williams can't post a "No Vacancy" sign.
State officials this week estimated he will have nearly 500 more inmates to care for by the
end of the current budget cycle and almost 1,500 by July 2015. Williams thinks that
increase will show up later, in the next budget cycle. A new forecast is due in October.
Harcleroad said sentencing reform is the only way to head off the surge in inmates.
"We're not making big advances in terms of correctional policy," Harcleroad said. "We're
going to have to write some big checks to open the rest of the beds and build the new prison
in Junction City or figure out how not to make that happen in a very conscious, careful
way."
But with Measure 57 taking effect in January, Williams anticipates that by 2013 he will
need to reopen the closed Salem prison as a second women's institution and finally open

at Deer Ridge Correctional Institution. Although it's vacant, the state
Corrections Department incurs costs to keep it ready for use -- and
to repay the $120 million borrowed to build it. State officials now
expect the prison to come online in mid-2013.

Thanks. So her (and Mitch's idea) is that rather than OCE spending $150K to PSU to come up with
recommendations on how to make OCE a stronger organization, the two entities simply modify/update their
existing MOU and all will be sweetness and light?
And Rob's take on this? (not that he couldn't see it coming .... ).

GOVERNOR
Agency Directors,
M D ~
As you are well aware, ongoing economic uncertainty has impacted state revenue
projections, necessitating a budget rebalance plan for the remainder of the biennium.
On Friday, the Ways and Means Committee Co-Chairs released their proposed
budget. I do not expect the final budget .to differ significantly, and I have attached a
. memo from the Co-Chairs that outlines agency-specific budget revisions. I plan to sign
the budget when it reaches my desk.
First, I want to thank you for continuing to deliver the critical public services Oregonians
need and deserve in the most efficient, effective way possible under what I know are
difficult circumstances. I appreciate your deep involvement in the budget development
process and the. spirit of collaboration and openness with which you have engaged in
identifying potential savings and enterprise initiatives.
The budget includes $28 million in unspecified personal services reductions across
General Fund/Lottery Fund and Other Funds agencies. The expectation is that the
Executive Branch will come back to a meeting of the Emergency Board in May with a
specific plan, and I want to take a moment to describe my approach going forward.
The additional time afforded to address the budget situation is a positive and productive
step that will allow a more thorough review of options and a strategic plan to achieve
targeted savings. Immediately following the session, Michael Jordan and I will convene
the Enterprise Leadership Team (EL T) to begin the process. Your active participation is
critical in helping craft a product that balances the need for further reductions with the
effective delivery of public services. I am convinced we can achieve both goals.
In the longer term, I am confident we can develop a more sustainable and strategic
approach, and I appreciate your ongoing participation in two key initiatives -- the 10-
Year Plan for Oregon and Operation: Oregon.
Again, thank you for your leadership. I urge you to share this message with all staff.

Ex-Florida prison boss: Drunken orgies tainted
system
Share this 011:
Facebook Twitter Qjgg delicious reddit MySpace StumbleUpon Linkedln
February 11, 20081From and Scott Zamost CNN


James McDonough, Florida's former prison boss, said he inherited a system run like the mafia.
Softball, drunken orgies and a prison system run like the mafia. That's what Florida's
former prison secretary says he inherited when he took over one of the nation's largest
prison systems two years ago ..
In fact, on his first day on the job, James McDonough says he walked into his office --
the same one his predecessor used -- and there was crime scene tape preventing
anyone from entering.
"That was an indication we had a problem in the department," McDonough told CNN in
an exclusive interview before he stepped down last Thursday.
65
KIL_PSU_ 004313
McDonough revealed a startling list of alleged abuses and crimes going on inside
Florida's prisons:
.. Top prison officials admitting to kickbacks;
.. Guards importing and selling steroids in an effort to give them an edge on the softball
field;
.. Taxpayer funds to pay for booze and women;
.. Guards who punished other guards who threatened to report them.
"Corruption had gone to an extreme," McDonough said, saying it all began at the top.
"They seemed to be drunk half the time and had orgies the other half, when they
weren't taking money and beating each other up." Watch a corrupted prison system
He added, "Women were treated like chattel in this department."
McDonough described a bizarre prison culture among those that ran the system -
- one that he says seemed obsessed with inter-department softball games and the
orgies after games.
"I cannot explain how big an obsession softball had become," he said. "People
were promoted on the spot after a softball game at the drunken party to high
positions in the departme'ht because the'y were able to hit a softball outof the
park a couple times."
"The connection between the softball and the parties and the corruption and the
beatings was greatly intertwined." ....
The parties and orgies were often carried out at a waterfront ranch house built on'prison
grounds for a former warden with taxpayer dollars, McDonough said. The house was
. ,complete with a bar, pool table and hot tub. See photos of the "party house"
McDonough is a former Army colonel who commanded troops in Vietnam and Africa.
He served as Florida's drug czar before taking on the job as the head of Florida's prison
system, which oversees 90,000 inmates.
He left his post last Thursday as secretary of Florida's Department of Corrections
because, he says, he feels he has cleaned up the corruption. It's time, he said, "to turn
this over to law and order people that have made this their life's goaL"
A Brooklyn, New York, native, McDonough says he witnessed the way the mafia worked
in his youth and it provided him a keen insight into how his prison predecessor, James
Crosby, operated.
"It reminded me of the petty mafia I saw on the streets of Brooklyn when I was growing
up in the late 1950s, early 1960s -- petty, small-minded, thugish, violent, dangerous,
outside the law, and completely intolerable for a society such as ours in the United
States of America," he said.
66
'J
KIL_PSU_ 004314
Crosby would later plead guilty to bribery charges in relation to kickbacks from a prison
vendor. He's now locked up in a federal prison. He refused CNN's request for an
interview for this report.
"He's serving time in a federal prison. I hope he reforms and gets out and prospers,"
McDonough said.
He added, "When you have a rotten guy at the top, or gal at the top, it can be very
invasive, and it's a cancer that needs to be excised."
And getting rid of this "cancer" is exactly what McDonough says he did. McDonough
fired 90 top prison officials -- wardens, supervisors, colonels and majors -- claiming they
were corrupt or, at the very least, not to be trusted. He demoted 280 others.
Criminal charges were filed against more than 40 others, and most were convicted. In
addition to the orgies and other misconduct outside the cell blocks, there were other
allegations of prisoners being harmed, McDonough said.
"In some of the pockets of corruption that we found, they [prisoners] were being
abused," he s ~ i d
Among those arrested were seven officers accused of beating inmates, including five
accused of forcing a prisoner to drink toilet water. All have pleaded not guilty.
Tina Hayes, the director of the prison's department initiatives who has worked in the"
prison system for 28 years,. said the atmosphere before McDonough arrived was "a little
tense" with workers "always on edge."
She said employees who didn't attend softball games or play on the teams were
"isolated" and "pushed aside."
"I used to tell staff day in and day out: Keep your head high; do what's right; you know
what morally is right; you've got some ethics; don't bow down to it," Hayes told CNN.
McDonough, she said, brought "standards back into the department."
"People can speak out now without being afraid to say what they need to say."
McDonough says the majority of the prison system's 28,000 employees were honest,
hard-working people who weren't corrupt at all. But he says many of the top prison
officials weren't and he believes he has weeded out "an organized vein of corruption."
"They were like frat boys out of controL"

Mike -- As I reflected more on this, too, I reached the same place about the likelihood of a "maybe" at our
March 5th meeting.
The question then is how best to respond to that situation, once the "maybe" is delivered. (They may well want
to "chat us up" for a while before getting to that, and as we've discussed, the best strategy is to have Marcus do
most of the talking about the substance of this).
Once the "definitive maybe" gets delivered, here's some of the things I've pondered about saying:
a) "Well, we assume you're speaking for Rob on this, since our contract is with OCE, not DOC."
b) "Can you share with us the basis on which you'll make a decision to proceed with the contract, and in what
time frame?
c) We've assembled the team, and even done some preliminary work; we'd sure appreciate a relatively quick
decision.
Perhaps none, or all, or some of these are worth saying. What I do NOT think would be productive is:
d) Asking them to explain (any further) WHY they're at "maybe." (The more our silence/lack of curiosity shows
on that question, !think the more unsettled they might get about what we know)
e) Sticking around in the meeting much longer. "Well, if that's the case, please let us Imow when/if you're ready
to go. We've" assembled a great team, and we're very excited about the project and helping OCE move forward -
- but obviously, 'if Rob and you all aren't ready to go there's not much we can do until then ..... .
So in this case, Mike (and I'm filling Marcus in here), we'll graciously exitlhe meeting, and then wait, and see
whether you can move a "maybe" to "yes" by making it clear to the DOC folks that the "least ugly/stupid" thing
they could do right now is to bring us in to do the work (and, no doubt, keep close tabs on us as we do the
work).
And Marcus, Rob :;lnd Mike thought that if we get a "no" -- we very quickly conclude the meeting and leave
(which would arguably be the best way to unsettle them, conveying to them that we know EXACTLY why
they've decided to canceL .. )
Further thoughts? (Including on a-e, above?).
And one more question/issue: They might ask us, point blank, "Has Rob talked to either of you about issues of
concem re inappropriate expenditures, mis-use of hiring authority, possible legal compliance issues, between
DOC and OCE?"
What would you recommend we say to such direct queries? We could say something like "that's really between
us and our clicnt here, which isn't DOC -- and that's standard operating procedure." Or bc more direct -- e.g,
"Yes, he has had some past concems, though he didn't provide any information to us, and as you know, this
engagement is not about the past but about the future of OCE." I want to have a decent answer to such direct
questions -- but in a way that doesn't compromise Rob or our own integrity.

The outcome of your meeting on Monday one of the elements in deciding weather to precipitate a "crisis". Of

time. Colette and Mitch want to avoid a crisis about misuse of authority and rather have a crisis about Rob not
being a good "family member". My CUlTent advise to Rob is, ifthere is going to be a come-to-Jesus meeting
with Colette that we have Mike Jordan there as well.
To that end I'm fairly sure that you'll get a "maybe" rather than a "yes or no" on Monday. My view is that
"maybe" has the same weight for Rob as "no".
In my career when I assumed new duties I called for audits and reviews first thing, that way if there was a
problem we got it taken care of and I didn't get any on me. Colette has chosen to join Mitch in the Bunker - I
don't expect any smalier choices in the future.

Mitch is mentioned extensively in this atiicle. It's an example of one of his creative ideas that you have seen
before. Time will tell if it has positive results. Of course DOC is doing it's own research on the results. I'm sure
that it will classify all of the recent mini riots on the prison yards all over the system into another bucket. In the
mean time Oregon lost track of all of it's gang activity and can't relay any gang information to the Feds or other
states. I notice that it is easy to do smoke and min'ors if you control all of the information.

Mike -- Thanks. In a "maybe" situation, looks like "C" only makes the most sense -- and a quick leaving.
And of course, this morning we woke up to the Oregonian having a front page story .... by Les Zaitz ..... with
Mitch Monow mentioned in the3rd paragraph ---- and it's a glowing portrayal of his brilliant, innovative
leadership in turning inmates lives around! No matter that the Hchatis" -- never referenced in the story -- don't
exactly show an unambiguous picture of success. And, reading closely, it appears that the EV ALUA nON of
this new initiative will rest in the hands of -- well, the DOC inspector general!
So when you say you think Les is "fooled" -- wow, must he ever be! I suspect that this story will do little or
nothing to make Mitch feel any less dominant and "in charge" at DOC -- and perhaps embolden him even to
give us an outright "no" tomorrow. Better case, of course, is it makes him feel a bit invulnerable -- what the
heck, let PSU come in, though I'm not feeling that one as strongly!
Marcus and I will be meeting early in the morning, and then driving down to Salem for our 9 am. We may want
to give you call around 8:30 on the way down; you have time?
Thanks

If the answer is "maybe" I think we can assume that they want to kill the project. You'll have to assess the tone
and content of how "maybe" is framed but, if! were you, I'd be prepared to say something akin to "C": "OK,
we've been gearing up to proceed in a way that would allow us to meet the deadline in the agreement, we'd
appreciate your letting us know as soon as possible".
Statements "A" and "B" are challenging, fall into Mitch's paranoia (comfort) zone and make it easy to
rationalize terminating the contract. "A" - PSU doesn't recognize our chain of command and will be a loose
cannon. "B" - Hey, we are the customer, "we don't got to show no stinking badges" (Bogmi - r e a s u r ~ of the
Siena Madre). I think "D" and "'E" a ~ e off the table. ' ", ,

Mitch, and I guess Colette, use strategic information that can be found exclusively within the confines of
DOC. That approach has worked well in the past, due in large measure to Max Williams skill in dealing with
the world outside of DOC. Colette is no Max Williams. My guess is that Mitch retained his position, in spite of
advice to the contrary, because of pressure from Jackie Winters and Peter Courtney who were both pitching for
him to be the Director - motivated by Max. Les Zaitz is celiainly fooled. There is every reason for Mitch to feel
"in charge" as well as paranoid. The idea that there might be strategic information beyond the walls of DOC
isn't on the table for Mitch. Any reaction that challenges his authority, which he wields without limits within
DOC, will decrease chances of the proj ect going forward.

Good Morning Neil,
Can you please review the attached letter of agreement and give me advice on whether or not paragraph 1 is legal
(comparing it to the AG opinion of 2005)? I still question that it may be just a different way to co-mingle funds. This is the
paragraph of concern:
In lieu of rental payments to DOC, OCE shall establish a sub-account based on a mutually agreed upon
percentage of OCE annual net income for the purpose of maintenance, repairs, or security enhancements
related to OCE inmate work programs at DOC institutions and facilities where OCE business units are
located. The Director of DOC and the OCE Administrator will convene a work group annually to determine
the distribution of the subaccount. However, in accordance with ORS 421.442, OCE cannot make direct
cash disbursements to DOC.

I wanted to make sure that we were not going to be in conflict with the earlier AG opinions in regards to the MOU that we
have been working on. As a result, I had Neil Bryant do a confidential review of the MOU. His evaluation suggests that
certain paragraphs would not be in compliance and recommended a DOJ review if we wanted to proceed with it. He said

Colette and I are in full agreement with your view of the PSU/OCE Agreement, with one exception (based on the below
email). We do not have an interest in having PSU do a ?structural review? or provide a ?menu? of options, which would
include OCE moving towards an NFP model. We informed Dr. Ingle and Mr. Keisling of that when we met. There may be
other minor adjustments to the Agreement, but we were very clear on this point. Also, there is very little interest on our
part in putting together a Legislative agenda regarding any statute changes (or constitutional ones for that matter) to
OCE, at least o r t h ~ 2013? 2015 session. We believe there is. some heavy lifting to be done around the programmatic
elements and how we build operational crossover between Operations, Offender Management and Rehabilitation,
Community Corrections and OCE. We are also wanting Research to be engaged. Lots to discuss. I have some time this
morning if you are available.

Subject: RE: OCE/PSU Contract
I really like the idea of including the Assistant Directors and the ?co-producing? approach. My original intent of this
project was to have a business practice review that would analyze the relationship between DOC & OCE from both a
business and service provider relationship. The business review information would then be used to develop a menu of
policy options regarding the mission and service base of the organization. This may include things like increasing the type
of work skills training (i.e. WFD & apprenticeship), drug & alcohol, and cognitive programs that would be integrated into
our structure. We were also going to look at expanding our service base to include the youth authority, the state hospital,
and transitional programs that target releasing offenders. Additionally there was to be a structural review that would
provide a menu of options for the Director to consider. Ultimately we would have a legal review of the different findings
and options that would provide recommended statutory and constitutional changes. I wanted a full menu of options so that
we could put together a 10 year strategic plan for the organization. The current agreement is fairly wide open with this
project so it is really up to you and Colette as to how we proceed.
Thanks,

Mitch,
As agreed at our meeting with Colette and Phil on the 5th of March, thanks for getting back to us with
recommendations for next steps. We especially appreciate your effOlis in identifying a steering committee for
the project from both DOC and OCE to assist us in managing (or what we callilco-producing
ll
) the contract
until completion.
Let me bring you up to date on actions our contract team hCls taken since the 5th, and layout some specific
suggestions fOl' ensuring that the our first meeting with the steering committee is well organized and highly
'productive. I am only copying this to Rob since your message singles him out to work with us in making
al1'angements for the meeting, and also to Shannon (our project manager). Here is the brief update:
1. Following the meeting, I prepared a set of IIMeeting Highlights
ll
(see attached) and shared them with our
internal CPS project team in a meeting that we held today. These are for our internal team records. Please send
along any revisions or modifications that you deem required. We planned the meeting last week to bring the
team up to date, and discuss implications for moving forward.
2. Since I received your e-mail right before our meeting today at noon, I also shared the contents of your e-mail
with the team. We are in agreement with the focus of the first meeting being on the revised business case and
project scope. And all of the team agreed that we need a clear problemloppOliunity statement along with other
items outlined in your memo. To be fully prepared for the steering committee meeting, our team needs to do
additional reading and internal preparation. This will require some llfuliher action
ll
on our pati, including
working out the agenda, materials and facilitation process for the meeting. It would be best, based on my
previous experience, for Shannon and I to meet with you and Rob prior to the kick-off meeting (with the full
steering committee and our team) to ensure we are all on the same page with the agenda and facilitation
process. Do you have time this Weds. or Thursday for an initial meeting with our core planning team?
3. One complicating matter -- as a result of the delayed kick-off of the project -- is that we will be unable to do
the meeting with the steering committee until early in April. I have a long planned business trip abroad from
the 16th to the 30th of March that I must take. So it would be valuable to have a pre-planning session for the
April kick-off prior to the 16th. Is it possible to squeeze a meeting in prior to my departure on the 16th?
4. There. is also one other issue with the contact that I need to mentiqn. During the meeting this morning here,
our contracts/budget officer pointed out that our first II contractual deiiverable
ll
along with an initial request for
85
KIL_PSU_ 004333
payment is due on the 31st of March. We have obviously incurred some stati-up costs since the contract with
signed, but will not be able to finish the Phase 1 deliverable by the 31 st of March -- given our decisions to shift
the stati-up timing and scope. So we need to decide how to deal with that, and we need to get a modification of
that date (and others I suppose) in writing.
Those are my key suggestions for now. Our team remains excited about this opportunity.

Dr. Ingle,
As a follow-up to our meeting last week, I wanted to provide a recommendation for next steps. Director
Peters and I would like to set up a steering committee, that is representative of both DOC and OCE, to assist
with defining a business case and project scope as it relates to the contract between OCE and PSU, and to
manage the contract until completion. Suggested DOC/OCE Steering Committee members will include Rob
Killgore, Laura Osborne and Gary Kilmer from OCE administration and Mike Gower (Assistant Director), Chane
Griggs (Assistant Director) and Ginger Martin (Assistant Director) from the DOC executive team. My role will
be as the Executive Sponsor. I would like to set up a meeting between PSU staff, steering committee
members and myself prior to any further action occurring. Along with building a business case and defining a
project scope at our first meeting, I think it would be important to address the following issues as well:
praft a clear problem/opportunity statement '\ ,
Write a goal statement - a co,ncise, measurable outcome to be accomplished
Develop a list of critical stakeholders
Build a communication plan to get the contract off on the right footing
Establish clarity around a reporting matrix (how often, wh,o with, format, delivery mechanism, level of
detail)
Build a contact list
Determine product deliverable dates
There may be more issues (ownership of the final product, confidentiality), but this should get us started.
will ask Rob to make arrangements for our first meeting. I look forward to the conversation/planning.

Subject: .OCE Business Practice Review
Colleagues,
I wanted to inform you about a conversation Rob Killgore and I had regarding Oregon Corrections Enterprises (OCE). As
you all know,l have a deep affection for OCE given my history with the organization and have always appreciated Rob's
leadership of OCE since my leaving in 2002. When Rob took over as the Administrator, we both knew that maintaining a
healthy working relationship between DOC and OCE was critical to building a solid foundation for the future of OCE. We
knew this because prior to our deciding to make this one of OCE's primary business goals, the relationship between the
two was toxic. As a result, the communication was bad, there was territorial behavior and a significant divide between
institution and OCE management. OCE was headed for insolvency if their business practices did not drastically change
and if the relationships between the businesses themselves and DOC leadership did not dramatically improve. Of equal
importance was improving the relationships between OCE management and labor leadership, between managers and
OCE employee's in general, with external business partners, elected officials, stakeholders and customers (the most
important of all). Much work was needing to be done.
In an attempt to always be developing and managing the many varied relationships OCE encounters given their unique
business model (a quasi-state government, financially self-sustaining, business-like entity), they are always working to
find ways to "give back." I wanted to share a few examples of the many ways OCE has "given back" over the years:
DOC Operational
Heart-beat monitors for institution vehicle gates
Security enhancement infrastructure upgrades
Business expansions/re-Iocations
Running business that are not profitable, but employ inmates
Political
Desks and office decor for the Legislature for at or below cost
88
KIL_PSU_ 004336
Charitable
Boys Scouts of America
Missing Children's Golf Tournament
DOC Support As Primary Stakeholder/Business Partner
Display furniture in offices and hallways
Multiple Plaques/awards
Financial support for meals/refreshments for DOC Leadership/awards banquets/retirements
A new reception desk at TRCI
Most recently, OCE really stepped up to support EOCI (where OCE has multiple businesses) during one of the more
tragic moments in our agencies history, the homicide of Correctional Officer Buddy Herron. OCE paid for hotel
accommodations for the out-of-state family members of the fallen officer and his widow, provided food and water for not
only our Honor Guard, but all other Honor Guard members who traveled to attend the ceremonies and paid for the use of
a transport vehicle to get EOCI staff to the funeral and then return them back to the institution. Not enough can be said
about the tremendous commitment OCE displayed towards one of it's more significant business partners. Their
contributions and support are very much appreciated and will not soon be forgotten.
Even though the DOC is only 20% of OCE's overall business, Rob knows that 100% of their operation and workforce
resides within DOC institutions, which makes maintaining the DOC/OCE working relationship critical. We have been
talking about how to build a model that puts a more formalized structure around OCE's contribution activities. Many years
have passed since an extensive review of OCE's business practices has occurred and we think it might be time to do just
that. We are not completely sure quite yet how things should look, but we wanted to keep folks in the loop as
conversations begin to take place. We have agreed that we will curtail OCE's contribution activities until such time the
review can be completed. Of course, there will always seem to be opportunities for exceptions to be discussed. An
exception process is being developed and we will get that to you as soon as it is completed.
As a result of this decision, OCE will not be providing a contribution for the upcoming DOC awards banquet. I know that
we have always served a meal at the banquet, but lets start niaking now. I understand this email will
cause some questions. Please feel free to contact either Rob or me and we will do our best to provide answers. Thanks
.for your patience as we go through this review and transition process.

Hi Laura,
Hope your trip is going well and you're staying cool.
We are completing the general disclosure portion of the CAFR and I have a
question about how I should respond to "Violations of Legal or Contractual
Provisions" .
One of the examples is expending revenue for purposes other than outlined in
constitutional provisions.
There is the funeral. Please let me know how you would like me to respond or
not.
Thanks,
Ann

Agreed. That's why I brought it forward. Keep in mind I didn't learn about this until last Friday. Neil and the
rest ofthe advisory council got hard copies as I went around and met with them individually to explain the
email and PSU project so that they would get it first hand.
Thanks

Rob,
Thanks for this information. In your email to Colette and me last week you write "I had Neil
Bryant review Mitch's email from earlier this year." I am not seeing that email in the
attachments above. Will you send that document my way as well. Thanks.
Based on what I have read, if the decision to respond is seen as necessary by Colette, I would
recommend we modify our response on the CAFR General Disclosure fOlID. I would include
significantly more detail about the homicide, the timing of things, why there was an opinion
(even if inc011'ectly) that OCE could do this and what the intent was. Also, I am not big on
naming someone. "We made the decision to fund," or "a decision was made to fund", or
something like; "as an outcome to a tragic event involving one or our primary customers
employees, OCE assisted with .... " "It was later determined that this funding was outside the
parameters outlined in ...... " Just some thoughts to discuss when we meet. We might even get
our communications staff (Heidi) involved, notify some folks ahead of the document going
downtown, provide a heads-up to Steve Powers and let EOCI know. I think we need to be very
thoughtful about next steps.

Colette & Mitch,
Attached is a requirement for the state CAFR that I found out about last Friday after it was
flagged by our Fiscal Manager. It is asking for any violations of legal or contractual provisions
during the fiscal year. It gives the example of expending revenues for purposes other than
outlined in constitutional provisions. This same question carne up recently with our annual CPA
audit. I need to resolve this requirement with both entities.
I had Neil Bryant review Mitch's email from earlier this year and his opinion is that the expenses
related to the Buddy HelTon funeral where outside the scope of our laws (attached is Neil's
letter). I reviewed this with our CPA along with the reasoning for the suppOli. I explained that
the new Director took immediate short tenll action with the fOlmation of a memorandum of
understanding and was taking long term action by having Portland State University review and
provide recommendations on the organization. The CPA felt that the expense was immaterial and
suggested noting it in our "manager's recommendation" supplement to the audit as she felt that it
was handled appropriately. Because it was financially immaterial it would not be mentioned in
the actual audit. You do need to keep in mind that our auditor looks at OCE from a business

Take a look at this and edit. I put it as the second paragraph as it seemed to fit better. Still needs some work
