2. PUBLIC HEARING: ORDER 90-011 VACATING A 30-FOOT PARCEL
Before the Board was a public hearing on the vacation of a 30'
parcel of land located in the South 1/2 of Section 22,
Township 17 South, Range 12 East W.M. located near Butler
Market Road in Deschutes County. Larry Rice reported that
this vacation was the result of a land use condition action
on the developer of the adjacent property. The County was
vacating this 30' parcel for inclusion into the development,
and the developer would then dedicate a 30' foot strip on the
west side of his property for a future collector road.
Colleen Settlemyer testified that she thought her property
bordered on the proposed vacated property. She said in 1980
she owned the property being vacated and dedicated it to the
County. She asked how the vacation would affect the
surrounding property owners.

Larry Rice said it would not affect the properties to the
east. She said she did not have a problem with the vacation
under consideration but was concerned about the final
alignment of the roads in the area. She said she had attended
public hearings regarding possible road alignments through
her area and had expressed her disfavor with proposals that
placed roads across her property, which was currently 7.41
acres. She had been told not to worry because the roads might
never be built. However, she was still concerned that several
roads in the area where pointed at her property, and if they
were ever connected, they would cross her property.
Larry Rice said that the current proposal for a connecting
road in the area would go through her property. Commissioner
Maudlin pointed out that if and when a connecting road was
scheduled to go through her property, she would be contacted
and the County would work with her on the location, etc. of
the road.
Commissioner Prante felt she would like more information on
the surrounding road situation before acting on the vacation,
and set up a meeting with the concerned parties for March 16,
1990, at 9 a.m.
Chair Throop continued the pubic hearing until Wednesday,
March 28, 1990, at 10 a.m., and Ms. Settlemyer was advised
that the issue would be discussed at the work session on
Monday March 26, 1990, at 10 a.m.
COMSTOCK REDEMPTION
Before the Board was a request from Robert Comstock for
redemption of his real property. Mr. Comstock had been
notified that before redemption could take place, he would
have to pay the taxes, penalties and fees owed on the
property, plus any charges incurred by the County in burying
additional tires on the site, plus he would have to reach an
agreement with DEQ regarding the repayment of their costs
associated with the removal of the illegally stored tire on
the property.
Rick Isham said that he had spoken with DEQ, and they said
they could have a "Confession of Judgment" for Robert Comstock
to sign within a week. Rick Isham said he felt that if the
Board were to deed the property to Mr. Comstock prior to his
signing the "Confession of Judgement" with DEQ, there would
be no reason for Mr. Comstock to sign the "Confession of
Judgement." He recommended that the Board approve the
redemption subject to the conditions of signing the
"Confession of Judgement" and paying the additional
$3,648.29. He said the total amount was just under $30,000.

IOU - 1755
Commissioner Maudlin said he didn't feel that the redemption
needed to be held up until the "Confession of Judgment" was
signed because the property was totally mortgaged.
Rick Isham pointed out that if we gave the property back prior
to Mr. Comstock signing the "Confession of Judgment," the
Board would violate the spirit of its agreement with DEQ which
said that the Board would do all things necessary to assist
in the collection of the funds that DEQ expended.
Rick Isham proposed that the Board approve the redemption of
property subject to signature of the "Confession of Judgement"
and payment of fees, and then direct County Counsel to draft
the order and deeds of redemption for signature.
PRANTE: So moved.
MAUDLIN: Second.
VOTE: PRANTE: YES
THROOP: YES
MAUDLIN: YES
Commissioner Maudlin asked Rick Isham to call DEQ and express
the urgency that the Board felt to have this matter taken care
of as quickly as possible.
4. HOUSING AUTHORITY MARKET STUDY AND HOUSING CONDITIONS SURVEY
Before the Board was a discussion of the way in which the
County would fund it share of the Housing Conditions Survey
and the Market Study being done through the Central Oregon
Housing Authority. Commissioner Throop said he had recently
spoken with Cindy Leighton of the Housing Authority and
expressed the Board's concern about the funding structure that
had been proposed. The Board wanted the Housing Authority,
not the County, to be the contractor for the studies. Then
the Housing Authority could bill the County for its share of
the studies which would total $3,900 ($1,900 for a joint
housing conditions study with the City of Bend and $2,000 for
a joint marketing study with the Cities of Bend, Sisters and
Redmond). He said that Cindy Leighton agreed with that
structure proposal.
5. REDMOND YEW AVENUE INTERCHANGE PROJECT
Before the Board was the request from the City of Redmond for
the County to participate in their Yew Avenue Interchange
Project in the amount of $200,000.
PAGE 3 MINUTES: 3/7/90
no - 1756
Commissioner Throop expressed support for County participation
in the project for the following reasons: (1) it was a
regional project: completed Highway 97 north unit and the
interchange was the southern terminus of Redmond's alternate
route; (2) the interchange would open up the new route to
the regional airport and industrial lands southeast of
Redmond, would facilitate east/west traffic, and was an
important element of the limited access policy that the County
was working on with the State Highway Division; (3) it was a
regional equity issue: since the Yew Avenue project was
Redmond's highest priority, the County should help fund it
because the County would have to spend the majority of its
money for the next three years in the Bend area on the
Expressway Project; and (4) the County would benefit since it
would open up the new Deschutes County Fairgrounds property
and some County industrial land.
Commissioner Maudlin said there was going to be four or five
interchanges on the highway between Bend and Redmond that
Deschutes County would have to pay for without any help from
the cities. Also in 1993 and 1994 in the Bend area, the
County's share of the Bend Parkway costs would be
considerable. He did not feel that the County had enough
money to handle these projects and still have $200,000 left
for the Redmond Yew Avenue project. He said the County
already gave 15% of the County's timber receipts to the cities
which the cities could spend on any projects they wanted. He
felt that was enough funding from the County, especially since
the County was not required to give the cities any of these
funds.
Commissioner Throop added that when the City of Redmond bonded
for its sewer system, it had to expand the city limits nearly
to the urban growth boundary, and therefore they have one of
the most expansive city limit boundaries in the entire state.
The City of Bend was just the opposite with more than half of
the urban population was outside of the urban growth boundary.
PRANTE: I will move approval of County participation in the
Redmond Yew Avenue Interchange Project in the amount
of $200,000.
MAUDLIN: I'll second.
Commission Throop asked to add to the motion "the County would
assist with the survey and design work." Larry Rice indicated
the costs would be 10-12% of the total costs of the project
or $15,000-$20,000.
VOTE: PRANTE: YES
THROOP: YES
MAUDLIN: NO

6. VECTOR CONTROL DISTRICT PLANS
Before the Board was approval of the Four Rivers Vector
Control District, the Lazy River South Vector Control
District, and the Deschutes River Recreation Homesites #6
Vector Control District plans.
PRANTE: I move approval.
MAUDLIN: Second.
Dave Leslie reported that the Oregon Department of Fish and
Wildlife requested that their previous letter serve as
approval for Four Rivers and Lazy River Vector Control
Districts. They had also received a form from DRRH Unit 6
which had been sent to the Pesticide Clearinghouse. ODF&W had
requested some additional information but did not feel there
would be any problem once the information was received. Dave
Leslie said Bruce Landolt of Four Rivers told him he would
supply that information to Fish and Wildlife by mail by
Friday.
PRANTE: I would amend the motion to include Unit 6
contingent upon Fish and Wildlife approval.
MAUDLIN: Agreed to the friendly amendment.
VOTE: PRANTE: YES
THROOP: YES
MAUDLIN: YES
7. WEEKLY WARRANT VOUCHERS
