Mike Maier directed Ms. Credicott to send a letter to them giving them ninety days
to make a decision, as the County needs to take action in some manner.
Mike Maier then explained that Commissioner Luke met with a group that wants to
install a radio tower on County owned property at 9th & Antler, Redmond. They
would lease five acres for a 200 -foot radio tower. Ms. Credicott added that they
want to pay $600 a month for five years, but she feels this could possibly hinder
further development.
Commissioners DeWolf and Daly stated that they are not interested in tying up the
property in this manner. Commissioner DeWolf added that he wants to deal with
any future matters of this kind, especially those involving possible height issues, in
a regular Board meeting with full public involvement.
Mike Maier instructed Ms. Credicott to have Steve Scott (real estate broker of
record) provide an estimate of value of the property.
3. Discussion of the Justice of the Peace Position
The Commissioners indicated that the State needs to be notified as soon as possible
in this regard. Although the Commissioners don't make the appointment, the State
does ask for their recommendation.
It was decided that the City of Bend should be involved as well.
4. Discussion of County Projects.
Susan Ross said that a meeting with Steele Architects is scheduled for January 16
to go over the base floor plans for all projects. The deadline for costs to be
submitted is January 15.
5. Discussion regarding Federal Lobbying Efforts.
Commissioner DeWolf explained that he wants to send an e-mail to all department
heads to gauge their interest in federal lobbying; he will ask that their input be
given within a week, including what information would be useful to them and what
projects might benefit from federal grants. Commissioner Daly indicated his
approval.

5. Health Services in La Pine.
Commissioner Daly explained that attempts are being made to get federal
assistance for a health care clinic in La Pine to provide health, mental health and
dental services, as the Tri -County Rural Health Center is not federally qualified.
Federal funds would allow $600,000 up front, then annual payments.
He added that Prineville and Crook County are putting the project together, which
would allow a branch to be placed in la Pine. They receive additional federal
dollars for each branch. The services would help uninsured clients who aren't
eligible for the Oregon Health Plan.
Susan Ross added that plans for the future are to locate these types of services in
the new neighborhood, near the Senior Center.
6. Sisters Trail Funding Request.
Commissioner DeWolf explained that the City of Sisters is seeking a transportation
enhancement act grant in the amount of $250,000 for a trail from Tollgate to the
schools; they indicate it is their number one infrastructure priority. They will be
asking the County to front the funding, to be paid back on a reimbursement basis.
There was a discussion about the details, such as liability coverage and
maintenance issues. The Commissioners indicated they aren't interested in
fronting this kind of money without a firm plan in place.
7. Update on 701 Labor Negotiations.
Mike Maier said additional meetings are scheduled, and he will update the Board
when they are closer to some type of agreement.
Being no further items brought before the group, the meeting adjourned at
3: 00 p. m.
