CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING: ORDER 91-075 ESTABLISHING AREA IN DRRH WHEREIN DISCHARGE OF FIREARMS IS PROHIBITED Before the Board was a continuation of a public hearing concerning order 91-075 which would establish an area in the Deschutes River Recreation Homesites wherein the discharge of firearms would be prohibited. Chairman Maudlin said the Board received a letter in opposition to the formation of the district indicating it was illegal for the district boundaries to be changed after the petitions had been signed. Bruce White said it was Legal PAGE 1 MINUTES: 6/19/91 r" 0106 1'788 Counsel's opinion that the petition, as submitted, could not have been accepting for filing because it included areas which were not "subdivisions" or were not "contiguous." Commissioner Throop asked for a clarification on whether the Board could make adjustments in the district boundary after the petitions had been submitted. Bruce White said that the alternative would have been to reject the petition altogether. He felt it was an open question, but that only someone who was charged under it would have standing to challenge it. The County felt that it was in the interests of the signers to proceed, and the petitioners had wanted to proceed. Commissioner Throop said he wanted to go forward with the public hearing. Chairman Maudlin opened the public hearing. He said the Board had also received a letter which was in favor of the formation of the district. He asked if there was anyone who wanted to testify. Herb Koppel, 17255 Azusa Rd., Bend, 97707, testified in favor of the formation of the district, and said he had helped collect the signatures on the petition. Two years ago, his daughter and granddaughter were outside his home when a neighbor discharged a firearm, and the bullet went over the top of his house. They heard it go over. His wife spoke to the gentleman who discharged the firearm. He never shot in their direction again but continued to shoot within the subdivision. If the district had already been formed, a deputy sheriff could have spoken with the gentleman which would have taken care of it. He said they heard shooting "continuously." Jack Broadley, 56271 Stellar Drive, Bend, 97702, testified against the formation of the district. He felt there were enough laws already regarding endangering which couldn't be enforced. He felt people should do their own policing, and he didn't feel the petition was legal. James E. Cate, 17254 Satterly Way, Bend, testified in favor of the petition and was one of the petitioners. The people in his neighborhood felt something had to be done about the shooting. They wanted to better the community. He felt a lot of the shooting would be eliminated just by having the signs posted, since many of the people just came for the weekend and thought they were in a wilderness area. He thanked the Commissioners and Legal Counsel for their work in guiding the petitioners through the process. He said that in the record, there were letters from the Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Oregon Hunters Association which were in favor of the formation of the district. The formation of the district PAGE 2 MINUTES: 6/19/91 0106 1789 3. 4. would not exclude hunting along the river. There being no one else who wished to testify, Chairman Maudlin closed the public hearing. Bruce White clarified that the reason the original public hearing was continued was because the adequacy of the legal description was questioned. After review, he was satisfied that the legal description was accurate. Commissioner Throop said that when citizens took their own initiative to identify and solve their own problems, he felt the majority should rule. There was a substantial majority of the residents who had signed petitions, and he thought it was important that the Board adopt this order. THROOP: I would move approval of Order 91-075. SCHLANGEN: Second. Commissioner Maudlin was also of the opinion that there would be an enforcement problem regardless of what action the Board took, and there were already laws on the matter. He thanked Bruce White for doing the legal work on this proposal.

The Comfort Inn had paid their penalty for late payment. They requested a waiver of penalties and a refund of all the penalties already paid.
