-
- Minimally Acceptable Level Of
Pubic Safety Services (MALPSS)
-
- As members of the Hugo Justice System & Public Safety
Service (JS&PSS) Exploratory Committee, we have been trying to understand the 2013
Oregon House Bill 3453 since it became law, including its previous incarnations (i.e.,
2009 Oregon Senate Bill 77 and 2012 Oregon House Bill 4176). Simply stated the law
provides that the Governor of Oregon may proclaim a public safety fiscal emergency for a
county where fiscal conditions compromise the county’s ability to provide a minimally
adequate level of public safety services (MALPSS). Our What’s the deal?
questions follow.
-
- What is a MALPSS? How do you conduct a legal MALPSS
analysis (i.e., what is the MALPSS methodology and what are the public safety
services’ standards to conduct a MALPSS analysis)? What are the required or mandated
PSS, and at what levels? Who conducts a MALPSS analysis? We assume both the applicable
county and the Oregon governor will conduct analyses. True? Will they both use the same
MALPSS analysis? Has a MALPSS analysis, or any element of a MALPSS analysis, been
addressed, considered, researched, and/or documented for Josephine County?
-
- We ask these questions because we believe understanding
MALPSS would help the voters of Josephine County address public safety services (PSS) in
the county. What is the PSS problem? Or, is there a problem, and, either way, judged by
what standards and criteria? A scientific study to determine whether JO CO is providing a minimally
adequate level of public safety services (MALPSS) would help answer the question,
"Is there a problem." Answering this question is not about implementing
the HB 3453 by turning over PSS to the State. It is about MALPSS as an educational
analysis tool to assist understanding in a scientific documented way . . . versus relying
on professional or political opinions.
-
- We have sent numerous letter requests for information on
MALPSS to Josephine County representatives and elected officials, including the Josephine
County Board of County Commissioners, Josephine County Management Team, and the Josephine
County Local Public Safety Coordinating Council. We had meetings with many of them without
being able to answer our MALPASS questions. We wrote the Oregon Governor three times in
2013 and two times in 2015 without gaining any answers.
-
- There have been many articles in The Grants Pass Daily
Courier’s about HB 3453 (see MEDIA). However, they are all about the
controversy of the potential for the State to take over the county and provide PSS.
None answered our process and analysis questions.
-
- We believe that from an educational point of view, the
potential county advisory question to the voters would have significant value for an
informed public, if citizens understood the county’s proposed MALPSS
declaration/analysis before the advisory question was put to a vote. For example, how do
the different PSS elements work together as a system? Are we above an emergency level of
PSS, or below? Are the PSS adequate, or less than adequate? Otherwise, in the
Committee’s opinion, the people will not really understand some significant points on
what they are voting for, except yes or no. They definitely will not know whether there is
a PSS problem, or not, and by what standards.
