2. Before the Board was Consideration of Approval of the Award for the
Purchase of One New 33,000 GVW Truck Cab and Chassis.
Dennis Morris gave a brief overview of the bids that were received. Even
though this item was originally budgeted at a lesser amount, the Road
Department had a savings on the purchase of a loader so the total for both came
out about the same.

3. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of an Intergovernmental
Agreement (Document No. 2002-066) between Deschutes County and the
City of Bend Police Department regarding the Use of the Firearms Range.
Becky Jackson explained that when the Parole and Probation Officers choose to
be armed, they are required to receive proper training. The range is owned by
the City, who contracts with law enforcement agencies for its use. Since Parole
and Probation is no longer part of the Sheriff's Office, a new contract between
the City of Bend and Parole and Probation is necessary.
LUKE: Move approval, subject to legal review.
DALY: Second.
VOTE: LUKE: Yes.
DALY: Yes.

on 27 assignments of error, and the County won on all but one. It went to the
Court of Appeals, which affirmed without opinion. This was only on one
aspect of the transportation rule.

Wednesday, March 6, 2002
The hearing is scheduled for March 27 at the regular Board meeting. Only the
parties will receive notice. Since this is on a narrow issue, it is a limited de
novo hearing. New evidence can be taken only on this issue, which is
contained in one paragraph of the OAR.
Commissioner Luke asked that this be made very clear on the notices that are
sent out; and asked that the time be indicated on the notices as well.
LUKE: Move approval of Order No. 2002-046.
DALY: Second.
VOTE: LUKE: Yes.
DALY: Yes.
DEWOLF: Chair votes yes.
C. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of a Memorandum
of Understanding between Deschutes County and the Deschutes
County Sheriff Employees Association - Amendment to the Collective
Bargaining Agreement regarding a Plainclothes Allowance.
Sue Brewster said this deals with reimbursements of the plainclothes
allowance. She indicated there has been a change in the last sentence
regarding involuntary transfers, such as being rotated out or promoted.
Termination would not be an exception.
A general discussion occurred regarding this reimbursement. It was unclear
as to how the reimbursement is calculated, since receipts are not considered
necessary. Chair DeWolf pointed out that this way of handling
reimbursements is contrary to how all other reimbursements are handled
within the County.
Since all three Commissioners expressed concern about this clause being too
vague, Sue Brewster indicated she will speak with the appropriate union
representatives and will look into making appropriate changes to clarify the
language.

D. Before the Board was a Discussion regarding the Handling of Vehicle
Titles.
Mike Maier indicated that all County vehicle titles are kept in the Board's
office, except for those handled by the Sheriff's Office. Since the Sheriff's
Office is having difficulty finding some of their titles (for vehicles to be
transferred to the Parole and Probation Department) at this time, he suggested
that all vehicle titles be kept in one place.
The Board directed that a memo be sent to Sheriff Stiles and his staff
indicating the Board prefers the titles be consolidated in one location.
E. Before the Board was a Discussion on the Committees to Assist in the
Selection of the New Juvenile Community Justice Director.
Mike Maier discussed a list of potential committees and committee members to
meet during the search for a new director of Juvenile Justice. He asked the
Board for feedback on the names of the potential committee members. He also
indicated he tried to identify people who are not involved with any possible in-
house candidates, in order to be as completely objective and neutral as possible.
Being no further items brought before the Board, Chair Tom DeWolf adjourned the
meeting at 10:30 a.m.
DATED this 6th Day of March 2002 for the Deschutes County Board of
Commissioners.
