PUBLIC HEARING ON REVISION TO CRITERIA FOR PLACEMENT OF MOBILE HOMES Before the Board was a public hearing on a revision to PL-15, Deschutes County Zoning Ordinance regarding criteria to place mobile homes. Craig Smith stated the change would allow single-wide mobile homes which were less than 700 square feet to be place in subdivisions where more than 50% (instead of the previous 60%) of the existing dwellings were mobile homes. Hap Davie stated that he appreciated the Board making this change, but still opposed any limitation on the placement of PAGE 1 BOARD MINUTES: 5/10/89 ~ .i - 7-7777T- 0095 14 57 mobile homes. He questioned what would constitute a "site- built" home, since many so called "site-built" homes in his area were just shacks and should not be counted when the percentages were figured. John McGee, Whispering Pines, expressed concern that he couldn't find a place to put the single-wide mobile home he just purchased. He felt the problem was not with the size of the mobile homes but with the people who occupied them. The Board later announced that contrary to what he had been told, the lot Mr. McGee had purchased would allow placement of a single-wide mobile home. Fred Janzen stated that unlike site-built homes, mobile homes depreciated in value. He was concerned that when the double- wide mobile moved from the lot next to him, a single-wide in the neighborhood would move onto the vacant lot, and that he would have to take them to court. Craig Smith explained that existing single-wide mobile homes could stay where they were but could not be moved onto another lot. Rick stated that if the single-wide did move off its current lot, it could not move back unless it qualified under the ordinance. MAUDLIN: I would move first and second reading of ordinance 89-014 by title only. THROOP: Second the motion.

VOTE: PRANTE: YES THROOP: YES MAUDLIN: YES ROCK PURCHASE FROM EUGENE MOORE FOR BACK TAXES Before the Board was approval of the concept of an agreement with Eugene Moore and Robert Riemenschneider to purchase 20,000 cubic yards of crushed rock for $55,000. The first $22,500, which would be Mr. Moore's interest in the crushed rock, would be deducted for back taxes owed to the County. The remainder would go to Mr. Riemenschneider. The Board agreed that Public Works should pursue the agreement. ROCK PURCHASE FROM FOREST SERVICE FOR BURGESS ROAD PROJECT Before the Board was approval for Public Works Director to sign a mineral permit from the U.S. Forest Service to quarry rock from the Deschutes Bridge site to use on the Burgess Road project. All reclamation costs would be passed on to the contractor. PRANTE: I'll entertain a motion to approve the Public Works Director to sign the contract with the Forest Service. MAUDLIN: So moved.

COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS Dennis Maloney submitted a written plan from the Community Corrections Advisory Board regarding how they would perceive the Community Corrections program should the County decide to go to Option #1 and take over the program from the State. He said the Advisory Board gave him a set of values to incorporate in a draft plan, which were to spend Community Correction dollars: (1) on situations where there was imminent risk to vulnerable victims, particularly women and children, (2) on the drug issue, (3) to secure services to lock up parole /probation violators, and (4) to reduce the flow of misdemeanants. He said they wanted a balanced approach of first, Community Protection which would include probation/parole enforcement, electronic monitoring and evening surveillance; second would be Accountability, which would include fast track accountability and work crews; and third, Productivity, which would include work release, substance abuse groups, and assaultive offender groups. He stated that since the late 701s, the Community Corrections case load had gone up dramatically while the resources have remained the same. After meeting with the Judges, he felt their main concerns were: (1) they wanted to see a good working program before they would sentence anybody to it and (2) they felt there was a conflict of interest in having the same individual do the assessment that would end up treating the individual. He said the budget figures that were used in the plan were the latest ones available, but that correspondence from the very beginning would make it clear that the Deschutes County's participation would be contingent upon a continued strong commitment by the State. He also pointed out that the amount of money spend on Community Corrections in counties of similar size was very different, and he felt the amount spent in Deschutes County was low in comparison. Ernie Mazorol said that the County should attempt to negotiate with the State before taking the program, regarding what core services should be funded by the State. He felt strongly that enhancement money should not be spent on pre-sentence investigations. Dennis asked that if the Commissioners were supportive of the plan as presented, he would like to be instructed to work hard on replenishing the losses of basic core services, and that if the Community Corrections Advisory Board, meeting later PAGE 4 BOARD MINUTES: 5/10/89 that day, made any adjustments to represent the Commissioners had to be submitted on may 15. 0095 1460 within budget, that he be able interests, since the proposal Commissioner Throop indicated that if there were major changes in the policy of the program, the Board could look at them on Monday, but if there were only minor changes, Dennis could just let the Board know what they were. Rick Isham stated that the County would be incurring the liability that was previously held by the State if the County took over the Community Corrections program, but that it would be a reduced liability because of the way the County would be handling the program. THROOP: I'll move submission. I'd add as a amendment to the motion, clearly that we asked Dennis to analyze other comparable counties and see where we seem to be deficient on core services and then authorize Dennis to aggressively advocate on our behalf to get core services comparable.
