COUNTY INVOLVEMENT IN LEASING PROPERTY
remodeling that the County was undergoing, since they were
interested in getting closer to the Courthouse. They were
told they would be charged $.85 sq. ft. including utilities,
the same as the Education Service District would be paying.
Mike Maier gave a history of our discussions with Community
Corrections regarding leasing property from the County. He
stated that they had leased property from the County several
years ago but after the County remodeled the building, there
no longer was space for them. He also stated that Community
Corrections might become a County operation with or without
the County's approval if the State Corrections Division so
decides. Recently, Corrections people contacted the County
to see if there would be space for them in the warehouse
Alan Bruckner, Bill Smith and Patrick Oliver all spoke
expressing their concern that the County was starting to
compete with private leasing businesses, and that considering
the County's non-tax status and lower interest loans, the
County had an unfair advantage in the leasing business. Bill
Smith also stated that leasing was a very complicated business
and that the County should get experts in the area to help
them.
The Commissioners assured them that they did not intend to get
into the leasing business. In the past, the County had been
forced to lease space at the rate of $50,000+ a year, and the
Commissioners felt it was more responsible to have all county
services in buildings that the County owned. So the purpose
for buying, remodeling and leasing space was to assure that
Deschutes County had the facilities needed for current and
future growth. Leasing the space to governmental entities
would pay for the building and remodeling so that these costs
would not be placed on the taxpayers. All current County
facilities full and additional space will be needed soon.
FENCE ENCROACHMENT EASEMENT
Before the Board was consideration of a Fence Encroachment
Easement on Eagle Road. The property owners requested to
install a chain link fence six feet inside the right-of-way
to preserve five elm trees that were situated on the property
line. The Public Works report indicated that the County would
not utilize the full right-of-way should it expand the road
and that the fence would not be a hazardous to traffic on the
existing paved road. Rick Isham stated that it was agreed
that if the fence had to be removed it would be at the owners'
expense.
