Clackamas County Jail seeks public input on Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Self-Survey and Transition Plan Update

CLACKAMAS COUNTY JAIL SEEKS PUBLIC INPUT ON AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA) SELF-SURVEY AND TRANSITION PLAN UPDATE


News Release from Clackamas Co. Sheriff's Office
Posted on FlashAlert: November 6th, 2017 3:37 PM
More info:
http://www.clackamas.us/sheriff/jailada.html

The Clackamas County Jail is in the process of updating its ADA Self-Survey and Transition Plan -- and the Sheriff's Office is seeking the public's input.

The Transition Plan will be used as a guide for making improvements that will facilitate accessibility -- by removing physical impediments in the Clackamas County Jail and improving current levels of service in any Jail policies, programs, and procedures that could create barriers to accessibility for persons with disabilities.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) mandates that the Clackamas County Jail identify the hindrances encountered with disabilities. Upon completion of this self-survey component, the Transition Plan will outline a strategy for prioritizing such improvements -- considering such factors as the extent of deficiency, identified need, available budget, and realistic schedule.

The Transition Plan will ultimately formulate the Jail's strategy for transitioning to a fully accessible facility.

The Clackamas County Jail is seeking public input in updating this Transition Plan.

All suggestions, comments, or specific deficiencies should be brought to the Jail's attention by January 31, 2018, so that they may be evaluated and included in the self-evaluation. This can be done by contacting Lieutenant Rollins, ADA Coordinator, preferably via e-mail at toddrol@co.clackamas.or.us or by phone at 503-722-6702. You may also send any comments or suggestions by snail-mail to:

Lieutenant Rollins, ADA Coordinator
Clackamas County Jail
2206 Kaen Rd
Oregon City, OR 97045.

This notice is available in alternative formats, on request.

November 2, 2017 -- Washington County Sheriff's Office detectives are asking for the public's assistance locating 15-year-old Annieka Vaughan, who ran away from her residence in Aloha on October 30, 2017.

Detectives believe Annieka is likely with 23-year-old Zachary Petersen of Pasco, WA, who is the suspect in a sexual abuse investigation being conducted by the Benton County Sheriff's Office. Annieka is the alleged victim in that case.

Mr. Petersen also went missing on October 30, which was reported to the Pasco Police Department. Prior to disappearing, Mr. Petersen called the crisis line in Washington. He is believed to be suicidal and possibly in possession of a firearm.

Annieka is described as 5'9" tall, 150 pounds, with brown shoulder length hair and brown eyes. Mr. Petersen is described as 5'10" tall, 150 pounds, with buzzed brown hair and brown eyes.

Mr. Petersen is known to drive a white 1998 Ford F-250 extended cab truck bearing the Washington license plate C20874C. His last known location was in the Portland area, but detectives believe he is possibly traveling to Seaside, OR or Sacramento, CA.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Mr. Petersen or Annieka is asked to call non-emergency dispatch at (503) 629-0111.

Bystanders performed CPR on the man, who was later pronounced deceased at the scene. The man had no type of identification. Deputies have been attempting to identify the man with no success thus far.

The driver remained on scene and is cooperating with investigators. Life Flight responded to the scene but the man died prior to being transported to the hospital. The man is described as having light colored skin, about 30 years old, 5'6" tall, 150 pounds, with red hair and beard.

Downloadable file: Sunshine_food.jpg
***Media is invited to attend a private Open House on Monday, November 6th from 6am -- 6pm with a program/welcome address at 12:00pm.***

The Portland Police Bureau Sunshine Division will open a second food pantry and clothing room facility on November 15, 2017, at 12436 SE Stark Street, Portland, OR 97233. The SE Stark location hours of operation will be Wednesday through Saturday 9:30am -- 11:30am and 12:30pm -- 3:30pm.

In response to the growing shift in poverty to the outer areas of East Portland, Sunshine Division will undergo the most significant, mission-related expansion in its 95-year history by making their no-cost food and clothing assistance programs more accessible to qualifying families and individuals in SE Portland.

Initial foundation and corporate funding partners of the program include: the Safeway Foundation through their HUNGERIS grant, Bank of America, Deacon Charitable Foundation, OnPoint Community Credit Union, Boeing Employee Community Fund, and Wells Fargo Bank. A number of individual donors have also made significant financial commitments to the SE program.

"The Safeway Foundation has been a long-time supporter of Sunshine Division. We could not be more thrilled with the fact that Southeast Portland will soon be benefiting from the wonderful services they provide. Throughout the year we support the Sunshine Division in many different ways, including financial support as well as food donations, and look forward to helping with continued growth at their new location." says Jill McGinnis, Director of Communications and Public Affairs for Safeway.

"We're excited to see the enthusiasm of our nonprofit, agency, and law enforcement partners as we've shared our plans to offer more accessible food and clothing assistance to outer SE Portland. We're committed to continuing these services at our N. Thompson location in addition to the SE Stark location." said Sunshine Division's Executive Director, Kyle Camberg. "We have a strategic two-year funding plan and want to recognize this expansion is only possible through the generosity and continued commitment of our donors and partners."
"Bank of America is a proud supporter of Sunshine Division's important work in getting meals and resources to those in-need. And in particular, we're pleased that our most recent grant was focused on getting food and resources to local veterans and their families. That's worthy of our investment, and we hope others will join us in supporting the cause," said Roger Hinshaw, Bank of America's Market President in Oregon and SW Washington.

The SE Stark location is anticipated to serve an additional 10,000 low-income families with children, seniors, veterans, and disabled individuals with food and clothing assistance in its initial 12 months of operation and extend the Portland Police Bureau's East Precinct officers the ability to access services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
M
