MINUTES OF ADMINISTRATIVE LIAISON
DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MONDAY, MAY 149 2003
Commissioners' Hearing Room - Administration Building
1130 NW Harriman St., Bend
Present were Commissioners Dennis R. Luke and Michael M. Daly; Commissioner
Tom De Wolf was unable to attend. Also present were Mike Maier, County
Administrator; and Susan Ross, Commissioners' Office;
Present for part of the meeting were Tammy Credicott, Property Management;
Jenny Scanlon, Juvenile Community Justice; Mike Viegas, Risk Management; Ray
Winger, Information Technologies; and Mark Amberg, Legal Counsel. No media
representatives or other citizens were present.
The meeting began at 1:30 p.m.
1. Discussion of Plans for Tetherow Property.
Members of the Central Oregon Park and Recreation District gave an overview
of the group's possible plans for the property, should the County deed it over to
them. The ideas ran from a community classroom offering a variety of classes,
to a simple park area.
Part of the issues discussed were the lack of a good septic system and a feasible
well. The old septic tank has been removed, and the existing well is infiltrated
by river water. It was explained that a new septic system with a tank that would
be pumped would be installed, and that perhaps the existing well could be
drilled deeper, or another well drilled.

Also addressed were potential problems with additional traffic, and the need for
parking. The group has met with local citizens, and the feedback has been that
an increased presence would be welcomed.
The group is also looking at plans for local fund-raising efforts as well as
pursuing various grants.
Commissioner Daly was satisfied with the plans as presented. However,
Commissioner Luke asked for more details on how the site will look, how the
septic system would work, and how the need for a well will be resolved.
Tammy Credicott explained that there would be a public hearing first, as is
required for the transfer of public land.
The group said community river cleanup is scheduled for the weekend, and they
would like to clean up the park area. Commissioners Luke and Daly, and Mike
Maier, felt this was not a problem.
2. Discussion of Redmond High Desert Archers License Agreement.
Tammy Credicott said that this group is not using part of the land they have
been allowed to utilize, but would like to use more of it for parking. They also
want to fence in an area in order to leave some of their equipment there, instead
of hauling it all away for storage. Ms. Credicott added that the group has
cleaned up the area considerably, and there has been a general reduction in
dumping in the area because of their presence.
Commissioners Daly and Luke gave their approval for the cleanup.
3. Discussion of Juvenile Community Justice Advisory Committee By -Laws.
Jenny Scanlon explained that Commissioner DeWolf gave his input on the by-
laws, and Rick Isham has revised and reviewed them as appropriate. These by-
laws are based on those of previous groups. Commissioner Luke still had a few
more questions regarding the makeup of the committee and a few other issues.
These will be clarified, and this item is to be placed on the regular Board
agenda for Wednesday, May 28.

4. Update of County Projects.
Susan Ross said that she is still trying to get another County to take the displaced
manufactured home previously used by the Mental Health Department.
5. Other Items.
A. Mike Maier stated that Rick Isham would be providing a few questions for
the interviews; he also is reviewing the applications. Mr. Maier added that
Mr. Isham leaves the County at the end of June, and time is growing short.
He also said that an extensive background check would be done.
B. Mike Maier said that the maintenance crew should go to four nine -hour
workdays, to match the schedules of various departments. He also
recommended that a comparison be done of the cost of maintaining current
nighttime custodial staff to the possibility of contracting for the work. He
said it should be an easy comparison to do, and feels that there might be
substantial savings. Of course, any contract employees should have a
thorough background check.
Being no further items brought before the group, the meeting adjourned at
approximately 3:05 p. m.
DATED this 14th Day of May 2003 for the schutes County Board of
