2. DECISION ON APPEAL BY ELOISE ATKINS OF HEARINGS OFFICER'S
DENIAL OF LOT OF RECORD DETERMINATION

problems with the County Ordinance covering this appeal, but
he didn't feel that the Commission can oppose its own
ordinance. Commissioner Throop agreed with Commissioner's
Maudlin's analysis. Commission Maudlin said he spoke with the
Assessor's Office and that the property was assessed at
approximately $1,000 per acre which was fairly high for
approximately 155 acres in that location.

Hearings Officer and deny the appeal and I would so
move.

PUBLIC HEARING: OREGON WATER WONDERLAND UNIT #1--PROHIBIT
DISCHARGE OF FIRE ARMS
Before the Board was a public hearing on the formation of a
District where the discharge of fire arms would be prohibited.
Rick Isham gave the staff report indicating that petitions had
been received requesting that a district be formed to restrict
the discharge of fire arms in the area commonly known as
Oregon Water Wonderland Unit 1. Casey Schmidt posted notices
of the hearing at three public locations in the proposed
district. He said the purpose of the hearing was to take
testimony from any interested persons who would be affected
by the formation of the district.
Roy Miller, 55457 Big River Drive, testified in favor of the
fire arms prohibition. He said it was a small residential
area, and there was currently a lot of shooting in the area.
Walter Seeborn, 55661 Big River Drive, spoke in favor of
forming the district. He said he had a number of geese that
came onto his property which he greatly enjoyed. He said last
year on October 21 it "sounded like a war started" there was
so much gunfire.
Chuck Parrot, 55411 Big River Drive, a part-time resident,
testified in favor of the district. He said there was
shooting even in the middle of the night in the area.
Commissioner Maudlin pointed out the petitions were signed by
approximately 60% of the property owners of the area.
Commissioner Prante closed the public hearing and indicated
that a decision would be made at the next Commission meeting
on Wednesday, September 27, 1989.
PERSONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH JANET DAUCSAVAGE TO PROVIDE
SPEECH THERAPY
Before the Board was signature of a Personal Services Contract
with Janet Daucsavage to provide speech therapy services.
Rich Isham stated that he would recommend relaxing the
insurance requirements for the speech therapists. He said
that they typically provided their services in a school
setting and were not driving from place to place. They did
not transport employees. He said they both carried
$100,000/$300,000 automobile liability insurance which is less
than the current requirement, neither carried any sort of
general liability coverage, but each carried professional
liability coverage--one in the amount of $500,000, the other
$1 million. Rich Isham recommended that the County continue
to require a minimum of $500,000 professional liability
coverage, and eliminate the requirement for general liability
PAGE 2 MINUTES: 9/20/89
coverage, and accept their $100,000/$300,000 automobile
coverage as sufficient evidence of coverage.
Rick Isham said he would request that the Board authorize
signature of the Personal Service Contracts with Janet
Daucsavage and Sandra Rickon from last week's Commission
meeting, subject to the modifications suggested.
MAUDLIN: I would so move.
THROOP: I'll second the motion.
VOTE: PRANTE: YES
THROOP: YES
MAUDLIN: YES
5. BUSINESS LOAN TO WILSON PRECAST PRODUCTS
Before the Board was approval of a business loan to Wilson
Precast Products. Commissioner Throop mentioned that the
package was a little weak in collateral but that the financial
statement showed the business owner was a good risk.
Commissioner Maudlin pointed out that the U.S. Bank was
financing about 70% of the total package which was a very good
sign.
MAUDLIN: I would move County approval of the business loan
to Wilson Precast Products.
THROOP: I'll second the motion.
VOTE: PRANTE: YES
THROOP: YES
MAUDLIN: YES
6. OUT OF STATE TRAVEL REQUEST FROM MENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT

WAIVER OF BUILDING FEES FOR LAPINE AMERICAN LEGION
Before the Board was a request from the LaPine American Legion
to waive the $800 building fees to expand their building.
Commission Throop pointed out that when the building was
originally built, the County did waive the fees. They have
mostly volunteer labor and donated materials and have very
little cash in their building fund. Commissioner Prante said
she was not comfortable waiving the entire fee but would
consider a modification. Commissioner Maudlin pointed out
that if there were $800 in fees, it must be costing the County
$800 to perform the necessary work, and if the fees were
waived, who would pay for those costs.
THROOP: I would move a $400 (fees paid) and $400 (fees
waived) and, along with that, if they express a
tremendous hardship with that, give them the
opportunity to come in give us their story.
PRANTE: I'll second that.
VOTE: PRANTE: YES
THROOP: YES
MAUDLIN: NO
