Chairman Maudlin called the meeting to order at 10:04 a.m. Board
members in attendance were Dick Maudlin and Tom Throop. Also
present were Karen Green, Assistant Legal Counsel, and Craig
Smith, Planning Director.
1. PUBLIC HEARING: ANNEXATION TO LIVESTOCK DISTRICT
Before the Board was a petition to annex territory to the
West LaPine Livestock District, a portion to be known as the
Lazy River annexation. Commissioner Maudlin stated that
another petition had been received which was in opposition
to the annexation.
Bob West, P.O. Box 2357, LaPine, Oregon, spoke in favor of
the annexation. He stated that the animals should be
contained and not allowed to venture onto other people's
properties.
Frank Worley, Lazy River South Subdivision, LaPine, Oregon,
spoke in favor of the annexation. He stated that there has
been trouble with cattle getting out. Mr. Worley also
stated that this subdivision was a residential area with a
high density and should not be considered open range.
John Slagle, Lazy River South Subdivision, LaPine, Oregon,
spoke in opposition to the annexation. Mr. Slagle explained
that the areas west, south, and north of the proposed
annexation area were rangeland. He was concerned that if
cattle would happen to get out of their fences in these
rangeland zones, then the owners would be fully responsible.
Mr. Slagle also stated that the most usual reasons for
cattle getting out of their fences were because of vandalism
or a gate left open on accident. Mr. Slagle stated that the
area was zoned rural, and that if the regulations were
placed, it would cause the neighborhood to become an urban
area.
Susan Stacy, 16516 S. Sprague Loop, LaPine, Oregon, spoke in
opposition to the annexation. Ms. Stacy feels that the
owners of livestock are responsible for any damages they
cause, whether within a livestock district or not.
Therefore, she feels the annexation is unnecessary.

Renee , 53925 Pine Grove Road, LaPine, Oregon, spoke
in opposition to the annexation. She stated that her
original reason for moving to the area was because of the
open areas, rangeland, and the wildlife. Ms. felt
that people knew what the zoning was in the area when they
moved there, and many others moved to the area specifically
because of the open range zoning.
After further discussion amongst the Board members,
Commissioner Throop made a motion:
THROOP: I would move that the election be set for the next
regularly scheduled election which would be May 7.

2. PUBLIC HEARING: VECTOR CONTROL DISTRICTS
The Board of Commissioners held their annual public hearing
on the vector control districts' yearly work plans.
Marian DeWitt, P.O. Box 275, LaPine, Oregon, spoke on behalf
of the Deschutes River Recreation Homesites Unit 6 Vector
Control District. She stated that there were no major
changes to their work plans from the previous year and that
they were in the process of completing the budget. Ms.
DeWitt mentioned a letter that the district had received
from Ted Fies of the Department of Fish and Wildlife,
stating some concern over their use of batex.
Buck Simmons, Farm Air Company, Redmond, Oregon, spoke on
behalf of the DRRH Unit 6 Vector Control District to address
the concerns addressed by Ted Fies' letter. Mr. Simmons
conducts the aerial spraying of batex for the district. He
stated that the Oregon State University had conducted
studies on batex and that there were no harmful effects.
The Department of Fish and Wildlife had recommended
something else be used, but Mr. Simmons felt that the
recommended method would not be as effective as the batex
and would be much more expensive.
Mahlon Rohrbach, 54659 Silver Fox, Bend, Oregon, spoke on
behalf of the district, stating that aerial spraying was the
only feasible way of conducting vector control measures.
THROOP: I'll move the approval of the work plan subject to
receipt of the budget.
