Deschutes County Board of Commissioners 1130 NW Harriman St., Bend, OR 97701-1947 (541) 388-6570 - Fax (541) 388-4752 - www.deschutes.org MINUTES OF ADMINISTRATIVE LIAISON DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MONDAY, APRIL 21, 2003 Commissioners' Hearing Room - Administration Building 1130 NW Harriman St., Bend Present were Commissioners Dennis R. Luke, Tom De Wolf and Michael M. Daly. Also present were Mike Maier, County Administrator; Susan Ross and David Givans, Commissioners' Office; and Risk Isham, Legal Counsel. Present for part of the meeting were Gary Smith, Roger Kryzanek and Greg Canfield, Mental Health Department; Dave Peterson, Information Technologies; Tammy Credicott, Property Management; and Steve Scott, the County's real estate broker of record. No media representatives or other citizens were present. The meeting began at 1:30 p.m. 1. Update on Crisis Resolution Center. Gary Smith said that there have been a number of meetings held, with considerations made regarding the building and operations. Rick Isham explained that new budgets were present two weeks earlier, and the County and St. Charles agree that it is workable. Grant funds will still be needed, and there will be a shortage of construction funds in the amount of $40000. It is possible the shortage can be covered by business loan funds, with the loan paid back prior to establishing the reserve fund. Minutes of Administrative Liaison Monday, April 21, 2003 Page 1 of 4 Pages Regarding operations, the initial negative budget impacts should be over within three years; if not, the facility could be operated at a reduced level. Susan Ross suggested that loan funds be used to begin construction now, as this project needs to go out to bid soon. She added that the grant has been approved, and the funds are to come at any time. Rick Isham said that it would probably be best to have the County handle the construction funding deficit, as it gives more control over the process; most of the funding is coming through or from the County in any case. This assures that the project will be successful. Susan Ross added that if the County has to wait for St. Charles to approve a portion of this funding, it could delay the project even more. Mr. Isham recommended that a letter to St. Charles be drafted, specifying the details. He also said that the operating agreement should be in place within ten days. Greg Canfield will meet with Commissioner Luke and Marty Wynne, Finance Director, later in the week to work out the details. Commissioners Daly and DeWolf stated they are satisfied with the plan as discussed. 2. Discussion of Sales of Dale Road Property. Tammy Credicott said that an offer has been made on the County -owned property located at Dale Road and Deschutes Market Road, consisting of an 80 - acre parcel that is half EFU zoned and half MUA-10 zoned. Steve Scott stated that it is one legal lot of record, but it should be possible to split it. The list price is $645,000, and the offer is for $575,000, subject to the partition and being able to place a home on the EFU parcel. Mr. Scott recommended a counter-offer of $595,000, with a six-month close of escrow. It will likely cost $10,000 or more to get an answer on the property split. The buyers have asked for terms at 7.25% interest, with the loan due upon refinancing. The Commissioners agreed to these recommendations. Minutes of Administrative Liaison Monday, April 21, 2003 Page 2 of 4 Pages 3. Discussion regarding Integrated Public Safety Records Systems (COPS). Dave Peterson said that the City is ready to join in the use of this system. He added that it is preferable to contract out the two Information Technologies people who will be overseeing the system, as this provides better control. Commissioner DeWolf asked that Mr. Peterson work with Dave Malkin, Director of 9-1-1, as soon as possible in completing this process. 4. Update of County Projects. Commissioner Luke explained that there is a real concern in purchasing the Midstate Electric Cooperative property in La Pine, because of its environmental history. He said that an investigation should be done, and funded 50150; in that way, both entities will have ownership of the information. There are several items of concern, such as wetlands, fill that has been used, and possible PCB's. Commissioner Daly said that the information should be shared with the Department of Environmental Quality; they may say all of the investigation is not necessary. Mike Maier replied that the DEQ won't indemnify the County if something happens in the future. Rick Isham added that Midstate wants a complete release of liability, and that the County needs to be very careful. Commissioner Luke stated that the County should be in control of the testing. Rick Isham said that it is due diligence to do a complete investigation; there is a potential huge liability if it isn't properly handled. LUKE: Move approval of the County paying 50% of the cost of the investigation. DEWOLF: Second. VOTE: DALY: No. DEWOLF: Yes. LUKE: Chair votes yes. (Split vote) 5. Other Items. None were offered.
