October 7, 2011 Hand Delivered Interim Deschutes County Administrator Erik Kropp 1300 NW Wall St. Bend, OR 97701 RE: DA Investigator Position Dear Erik: I have discussed a few of my concerns regarding the .75 FTE district attorney investigator position with you and your predecessor, Mr. Kanner. Recent cost projections from I.T. for records management upgrades required by law as well as newly imposed costs for obtaining court records heighten this already urgent problem and dictate immediate action. Therefore, effective immediately I am eliminating the .75 FTE DA Investigator position. Sharon Sweet currently occupies this position and will be notified of this action. I authorize the county to provide Ms. Sweet with 30 days severance pay from October 7, 2011, the date that her position is effectively terminated.
Sincerely,
Patrick J. Flaherty
