This is accomplished with no state funding, and using the existing staff. Chair Linda Swearingen stated that she is very impressed with the staff of our county facility; and has been told by many inmates feel they are treated well by the system here, and that the staff seems to care what happens to them. Minutes of Board Meeting Wednesday, July 12, 2000 Quality Services Performed with Pride Page 1 of 9 Pages Commissioner DeWolf said that he hopes the community becomes more aware of the "Your Choice" program. He further explained that it is a good experience to have a judge to stand before the offenders and congratulate them on the positive change in their life.

LUKE: I move that we support the Governor's proclamation and declare the week of July 23 through July 29 as Parole and Probation Week in Deschutes County. DEWOLF: I second. VOTE: LUKE: Aye. DEWOLF: Yes. SWEARINGEN: Chair votes aye. 3. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of a Contract with the KIDS Center for the Deschutes County Relief Nursery Project. Ethel Stratton of the Commission on Children & Families gave an overview of the contract, which provides $200,000 toward the relief nursery project. This grant was one of only three awarded in the state. LUKE: I move approval, subject to legal review. DEWOLF: I second. VOTE: LUKE: Aye. DEWOLF: Yes. S WEARINGEN: Chair votes aye. 4. Before the Board was a Discussion of Written Testimony and Consideration of the First Reading of Ordinance No. 2000-018 on PL -20, the Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan, to Add a New Plan Policy to the Forest Lands Chapter of the Plan. Damian Syrnyk, Community Development, explained that he did a site visit to the subject properties with Commissioner DeWolf. He also provided a copy of a letter already in the record from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife that was requested at the last Board meeting. Minutes of Board Meeting Page 2 of 9 Pages Wednesday, July 12, 2000 Mr. Syrnyk further explained that there has been no further contact from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, except for a phone call looking to reaffirm that this Ordinance would not change any wildlife area combining zone. A general discussion then took place about an article in The Source newspaper regarding the Commissioners' "unfriendliness" to deer. All of the Board members stated that this article is in error, and that they do not feel this action will negatively impact deer in the area. Commissioner DeWolf stated that he made a site visit to the subject property, and while on site also looked across the street at the two homes located there. He gave a lot of consideration toward any potential negative impact of this Ordinance. He noted there are 70 plus properties disbursed throughout the area that have the potential to fit into this change. He further stated that he has a problem with people having bought their land and then having the right to build a home taken away from them. He also noted, however, that the 70 -plus properties are scattered between Bend and Sisters to the west, with no concentration of properties in any one location. In the subject area, the only parcels affected by the Ordinance are the three owned by Mr. Watts. He further stated that he doesn't see that there is a negative impact to the area or the neighbors. In fact, he indicated the neighbors who already live there would have to go through the same process if they hadn't already built on their property since their property has a similar zoning. He explained that he couldn't justify not moving forward with approving this Ordinance. LUKE: I move for a First Reading of Ordinance No. 2000-018, by title only. DEWOLF: I second. VOTE: LUKE: Aye. DEWOLF: Yes. SWEARINGEN: Chair votes aye. Chair Linda Swearingen then conducted the First Reading of Ordinance No. 2000-018, by title only.

He further stated that the County had no legal descriptions in front of us when properties were excluded; and found no way of conveniently fixing the boundaries where properties are zoned EFU, and other incidental lands. He said that it is hard to draw a line on the map with RR -10 and EFU. Some minor parcels of RR -10 will also be excluded. A general discussion took place regarding the exclusions, the boundaries, and the area map. 5. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Order No. 2000-085, Approving the Boundary for the Proposed City of La Pine, and Referring the Incorporation of the City of La Pine to an Election.

A general discussion ensued about scheduling this hearing. Commissioner Luke stated that he feels the County has a very good Ordinance in place, which was put together by citizens about three years ago; and all that is needed is some minor changes to cover potential weaknesses. He further said that Sunriver has asked for a moratorium, but that the Board believes the existing Ordinance will cover what is needed. Commissioner DeWolf explained that this will better define what is already in the ordinance, and will clarify what is allowed, which will make the Ordinance more restrictive. He further said that the hearing should restrict testimony to a clarification of the ordinance Commissioner Luke asked George Read or other Community Development staff do a short presentation at the hearing of why the clarification is needed. He further stated that the Board cannot address specific sites because those will probably come to the Board eventually via the application process.
