2. PUBLIC HEARING: ORDER 92-027 SUNRIVER BUSINESS PARK
ANNEXATION TO LAPINE RFPD
Before the Board was a public hearing concerning the
annexation of property known as the Sunriver Business Park
into the LaPine Rural Fire Protection District.
Chairman Maudlin opened the public hearing.
Jim Quinn, Box 3515, Sunriver, testified as the President of
the Sunriver Business Park Owners Association. He said the
business park had never been in a fire protection district,
but had contracted with Sunriver Properties for fire
protection. In the last couple of years, they had been unable
to negotiate a contract with them, so they had negotiated an
interim contract with the LaPine RFPD. They felt it was in
the best interests of the business park, which included a
school, to annex to the fire district. On behalf of the Board
of Directors of the Sunriver Business Park Owners Association,
he requested that the Board of Commissioners approve their
annexation request.
PAGE 1 MINUTES: 4-22-92
Mary O'Conner, One Goldfinch Lane, Sunriver, testified that
she was an owner in the Business Park and was on the Board of
Directors. They had children attending school in the Business
Park and there was a residential area where people lived in
apartments, so they felt permanent fire protection was an
important step in the development of the park.
Pat McVicar, LaPine RFPD Fire Chief, said his Board of
Directors continued to support this annexation request and was
anxious to conclude the process.
Chairman Maudlin closed the public hearing.
THROOP: Move signature of the order.
SCHLANGEN: Second.
VOTE: THROOP: YES
SCHLANGEN: YES
MAUDLIN: YES
3. RESOLUTION 92-032 DECLARING INTENTION OF TRANSFER OF PROPERTY
TO CITY OF REDMOND
Before the Board was signature of Resolution 92-032 declaring
the intention of Deschutes County to transfer property near
the Redmond Airport to the City of Redmond to be used
exclusively for public purposes and setting a public hearing
for May 13, 1992.
Joe Hannon, Redmond City Manager, requested that the Board
transfer approximately 150 acres of County -owned property
located south of the Redmond Municipal Airport to the City of
Redmond. Brad Chalfant said that approximately 17 acres of
the parcel was already approved for transfer to the City as
part of the Deschutes County Fairgrounds partition. He said
the County would just do a lot line adjustment to move the lot
line to enlarge the 17 acre parcel to include the additional
adjoining property.
Joe Hannon continued that the City of Redmond had been
bringing new businesses to the airport industrial area, and
several of the business wanted to purchase their land. These
properties currently had patents on them set by the FAA as a
condition on giving the City of Redmond the airport. In the
last 24 months, the FAA had reversed themselves and were no
longer allowing the city to sell property, but they would
allow the existing patents (restricting the sale of the land)
to be moved to other properties on the airport.
Unfortunately, the City did not have any additional airport
land to transfer the patents to, so they were asking their
"partner at the airport" (Deschutes County) to help them. He

felt it was in the best interests of Deschutes County, Redmond
and the tri -County area to have this 150 parcel dedicated for
future airport development. It was anticipated that this land
would be used for a parallel runway as the airport expanded.
Chairman Maudlin asked if the City of Redmond was selling the
First Street properties to raise money for the completion of
the airport terminal projects. Mr. Hannon said it was one
part of the efforts to raise the money for the terminal
expansion. The total cost for the terminal expansion was well
over $3 million, with the largest contribution coming from the
FAA through entitlement which the City received for everyone
who flew out of the Redmond Airport. The City was
coordinating the sources to come up with the 40% which would
not come from the FAA, i.e. private donations, regional
strategy money. In June, the City would start receiving a
passenger facility charges ("head tax" on everyone who went
through the turnstile) which would be reserved in a capital
improvement fund for any future needed expansion of the
airport.
Commissioner Throop thanked the City of Redmond for providing
regional air service for the Central Oregon region, when only
about 5% of the boardings came from City of Redmond residents.
MAUDLIN: I'd entertain a motion for signature of Resolution
92-032.
SCHLANGEN: So moved.
THROOP: Second the motion.
VOTE: THROOP: YES
SCHLANGEN: YES
MAUDLIN: YES

the amount of $70.53 and $.33 and Order 92-040 in the amount
of $21,953.50 an $2.81.

Re: Cline Falls - Jeff Cherry Exchange
For the past several years Deschutes County has worked with the
Bureau of Land Management and Jeff Cherry, among others, to secure
public acquisition of lands within the Deschutes River Gorge at
Cline Falls. Deschutes County views this project as extremely
important for both current and future wildlife habitat and
recreational needs in the north County area.
As the City of Redmond and Eagle Crest Resort continue to grow,
additional demands will be placed upon already over utilized public
lands. Lands along the river will undoubtedly see the greatest
use. The huge crowd that met with BLM staff at a recent public
scoping session is a vivid example of the public's growing interest
in public lands.
The gorge at Cline Falls is a natural location for a large regional
recreation site. The site contains spectacular rim rock formations
and large relatively level areas that could be utilized for picnics
and possibly overnight camping. In fact, the area already receives
a great deal of recreational use, including swimming, fishing,
hiking and picnics.
As you are aware, Deschutes County lacks the personnel and
expertise to develop or manage recreational facilities. Thus,
Deschutes County has no interest in becoming the ultimate recipient
of the Cherry property at Cline Falls. Rather, Deschutes County
has sought to facilitate public acquisition and consolidation of
this land, and eventual development by an appropriate public
agency.
For these reasons, Deschutes County was quite pleased to learn that
your agency is considering acquiring the site. Such a project
would provide you with an opportunity to highlight your wild and

scenic rivers program, while enhancing recreation, scenic and
wildlife values in the Cline Falls area. Your acquisition of the
Cherry property is entirely consistent with the goals articulated
in the Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan and Deschutes County
strongly supports your efforts.
While Deschutes County will not be a direct participant in a BLM-
Cherry-Woodward exchange, the County does wish to encourage and
lend support for the project. This might include solicitations of
financial contributions from various service clubs and conservation
groups to cover portions of the cost of field studies.
Please contact Brad Chalfant to advise how Deschutes County might
assist the Bureau of Land Management with this project.
Sincerely,
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
