2. PUBLIC HEARING: ORDER 89-003, VACATING THE 504 ROAD
Before the Board was a public hearing on the vacation of a
portion of the 504 road which crosses BLM land.
Dave Hoerning gave the staff report indicating that a petition
had been received from the property owners that border on Road
504 which is also known as Northwest Way. He said it was an
unpaved road that went through the subdivision then northwest
to Lower Bridge Road. Since the primary portion being vacated
is on BLM property, BLM was contacted, and they are in
agreement with the vacation as long as the road is blocked
off. BLM indicated they will be doing more policing to
control the garbage dumping problem. The engineer's report
recommended that the road be vacated.
Duane Howe, 7180 Northwest Way, Terrebone, spoke in favor of
the vacation. He said the property owners on Northwest Way
have three problems with this road: (1) garbage being dumped
along the cinder road, (2) speeding traffic creating a safety
problem, and (3) dust from traffic.

Bob Hawk, 7525 Northwest Way, said he was the last property
owner next to the BLM property. He agreed that people were
using it as a public dumping ground, and he said a number of
trucks were using it as a short cut to Lower Bridge Road. He
expressed concern over where and how the road would be
blocked. He said a number of people would use the blocked
area as a turnaround and as a parking lot where they would
leave cars and trailers while going onto the BLM land by horse
or 4 wheel vehicle or for walks. He wanted to make sure that
his driveway and the area in front of his house would not be
used for this purpose.
Dave Hoerning said the County would probably build a
turnaround area and bury posts to keep motor vehicles from the
road, and would keep the homeowners concerns in mind when
doing so. With those conditions, Mr. Hawk said he was in
favor of the vacation.
PRANTE: I would entertain a motion to approve Order 89-003.
MAUDLIN: I would move signature of Order 89-003, vacating
road 504 or that portion of Northwest Way in the BLM
property.
THROOP: Second the motion.
VOTE: PRANTE: YES
THROOP: YES
MAUDLIN: YES
PUBLIC HEARING ORDER 89-003 VACATING ALLEY IN TUMALO
Before the Board was a public hearing on Order 89-001,
vacating the alley in Block 29 in the Plat of Laidlaw in
Tumalo.
Dave Hoerning stated that the petition was filed by the owner
of the property on both sides of the alley who was trying to
consolidate the property. He said the alley has never been
improved or opened. The Engineer's report recommended
approval of the vacation.
No one from the audience wished to speak on the vacation.
THROOP: I'll move approval of the Final Order 89-001.
MAUDLIN: Second.
VOTE: PRANTE: YES
THROOP: YES
MAUDLIN: YES

CITY OF BEND FUNDS EARMARKED FOR RECYCLING
Suzanne Johannsen, Executive Director of Bend Recycling Team,
spoke to the Board regarding the Bend Recycling Team Board of
Directors' recommendation to the City of Bend regarding the
use of the funds available for the encouragement of recycling.
The funds come from franchise fees that the haulers pay the
City ($2,000 each year--$4,000 is currently available). She
brought their recommendation before the Solid Waste Advisory
Committee who agreed that the money should be spent on two
items: (1) to purchase a machine that would grind plastics
for recycling, and (2) to purchase containers to be
distributed to residents of Bend for the curbside recycling
program. She said the type of plastic they would start with
would be plastic milk jugs since they are made of virgin, high
density polyethylene which can be shipped to China where it
would be used to make other plastic products. The milk jugs
currently take up considerable space in the landfill with
approximately 200,000 plastic milk jugs being sold in this
area every month.
THROOP: I'd like to make a motion of support for this
proposal and in that include a thanks to the Bend
Recycling Team, the Public Works Department, and the
Solid Waste Advisory Committee for their efforts.
MAUDLIN: I would second that.
VOTE: PRANTE: YES

Before the Board was a recommendation from the Air Service
Task Force and Congressman Bob Smith that a formal protest be
made concerning U.S. Air eliminating service to the Redmond
Airport. Since they are an essential air carrier for this
region, they are required by Federal law to provide notice and
help us achieve an alternative.
PRANTE: I would entertain a motion to sign the letter, upon
approval, supporting the official protest of removal
of U. S. Air.
