review the issues involved in making the Newberry Crater a
National Monument and geothermal development at the Crater
site. He stated numerous beneficial economic and
environmental results from a coordinated geothermal
development and National Monument designation at Newberry
Volcano. He asked for the Board's support for both the
National Monument at Newberry Volcano and responsible
geothermal development through the goals that were agreed upon
by the group.
THROOP: I would move that the Deschutes County Commission
support, in principle, the establishment of a
monument in cooperation and conjunction with
responsible geothermal development on the Newberry
Volcano and to include in that motion those five
criteria that Chandler indicated: (1) the
preservation of unique geological features, (2) the
guidelines established so the administration of the
monument guarantees that the structure that existed
for geothermal development outside the monument
prior to the establishment of the monument is
retained for geothermal consideration in the future,
(3) that the concept of slant drilling be supported,
(4) that there be the recognition that there needs
to be access and electrical line corridors and, (5)
that a compensation package will be arrived upon
for those existing leases that need to be retained
in public ownership for the purposes of the
monument.

5. VECTOR CONTROL
Before the Board was a report on Vector Control Standards and
Recommended Policy by Matt Holmes from the Deschutes Basin
Resource Committee. The report recommended that any Vector
Control Plan using the pesticide baytex be denied because of
its toxicity to aquatic organisms and the availability of
other less toxic products; and that baytex and resmethrin not
be applied to streams containing fish. Matt Holmes said he
had discussed the use of baytex with the Department of Fish
and Wildlife, and they agreed it should not be used. He said
that the Department of Fish and Wildlife should be sending a
letter to the Board soon requesting that the Board deny the
use of baytex. Claude Sprouse, formerly director of Four
Rivers Vector Control District, reiterated that pesticides
harmful to the environment should not be used.
Commissioner Throop indicated that the Board accepted the
report from the Deschutes Basin Resource Committee with a
hearty thanks for the work they have done.
6. ORDINANCES 89-003 & 89-004 MANUFACTURED HOUSING CRITERIA
Commissioner Maudlin stated that the Board would continue to
