Kathy Emerson, Director of Special Programs for Crook -Deschutes Education Service District; Paula Day, Director of the Early Childhood Special Education Programs and Early Intervention Programs for Deschutes County; Ann Elkin and Carla Hunt, on the Alyce Hatch Board of Directors; and Deak Preble, a member of the ESD Board introduced themselves. Minutes of Board Meeting Wednesday, June 7, 2000 Quality Services Performed with Pride Page 1 of 7 Pages Kathy Emerson and others explained that they provide state -mandated programs for children with disabilities, birth to five years of age, at Alyce Hatch Center, a community project built in 1985. They said the facility was originally to serve approximately 30 children, and they are currently trying to serve 80 to 90 children. They further stated they need more space, and that they are utilizing a modular under a temporary approval. They hope to obtain community development grant funds, move the modular off, and build the expansion where it now sits. They anticipate this grant would allow them to serve an additional 40 to 50 children. They asked for the Board's support of the CDBG for the $600,000, with an equivalent in-kind match of $543,218; this would add approximately 7,000 square feet to a 2,500 square foot building. Commissioner Luke stated that a question came up regarding the land ownership transfer to the County during the course of construction, and for five years after construction. Legal Counsel is checking into any liability issues the County might face. The group asked for the Board to act favorably on this request, and to aggressively follow up with the state to assure funding is received. Marcus Lopez of the Central Oregon Community Action Network (COCAAN) then testified. He asked if the County has developed a plan to identify projects and pursue the allocation of funds in a timely manner, since applying for grants is now a first-come, first-served process and is no longer a competitive process between applicants. Tom DeWolf replied that Mr. Lopez should contact Susan Mayea of the Commissioners' staff to learn more about the grant process and to discuss his recommendations. Commissioner DeWolf indicated that the County may not want to commit to specific projects not knowing what other needs may arise in the interim. Commissioner Luke stated that he realizes applications need to be ready to go, but that this process should be coordinated with the city so needs are not duplicated nor anything left out. Mr. Lopez stated that the cities of Redmond and Bend have received some grant funds, but that there is a huge area not served, such as affordable housing, housing rehabilitation, and housing for homeless people. Being no further citizen input, at this time Vice Chair Luke closed the hearing.

Roger Kryzanek of Mental Health responded that items no. 6, 7, 8 and 10 are agreements for the pass-through of money through the state, serving indigent clients in DUII programs, and the "not to exceed" clause in the agreements gives the County control over how the dollars are spent. Mr. Kryzanek explained that items #9 and 11 are continuations of grant amounts, sharing a portion of the beer and wine receipts. He further stated that item #5 is a continuation of a lease agreement with COCAAN; that some children's programs will be through the Becky Johnson Community Center, and COCAAN will serve adults.

Before the Board was a Presentation and Public Hearing on Proposed Revisions to the Agricultural Structure Exemption Policy. Dennis Perkins of Community Development explained that the revisions are meant to clarify the agricultural building exemption. He said that farm buildings are exempted by statute, with a fairly arbitrary definition; it was decided that a more exact definition was desirable, since the present system could result in future code enforcement problems. He further stated that this would eliminate subjective decisions and would avoid additional land use problems in this regard. Tom Anderson explained that this better fits the comprehensive plan. He further said that if an exempt agricultural building is fitted with a bath, electrical and plumbing permits would still be necessary. He stated that agricultural buildings should be built to code, but they are not routinely checked on and building permits are not required. Minutes of Board Meeting Page 6 of 7 Pages Wednesday, June 7, 2000 Citizen Lynn Knott of the Deschutes County Farm Bureau, indicated his questions had been satisfactorily answered and he supports the revisions. He encouraged caution be used if there is any future movement toward making codes or ordinances based upon farm income, since farm income can be extremely variable. The other citizen who had attending the meeting did not identify himself, but indicated he was satisfied with the answers he received. Being no further input, Vice Chair Luke closed the public hearing. DEWOLF: I move approval of the revision, effective at 8:00 a.m. on June 8, 2000, or as soon as Community Development can make the appropriate changes to the policy. LUKE I second. VOTE: DEWOLF: Yes. LUKE: Chair votes aye. Being no further discussion, Vice Chair Dennis Luke adjourned the meeting at 10:50 a.m. Dated this 7th Day of June 2000 for the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners.
