Steve Jorgensen gave an overview of the selection process and the awards themselves, which recognize members of the community who go above and beyond in regard to transportation. The winners were: ■ Jeff Monson, Director of Commute Options of Central Oregon, who has been involved with various related programs for years. ■ Jim Lewis and Mike McMacken, the owners and operators of Hutch's Bike Shop, and their employees, who continue to coordinate the Bend Bike Festival and other bicycle related activities and events. ■ Police Chief Andy Jordan and Capt. Matt Fine of the Bend Police Department, bringing about driver awareness in regard to safety and law enforcement efforts at pedestrian crosswalks. ■ Karen Swirsky, who works with David Evans & Associates on numerous bike and pedestrian plans around the area, and whose efforts helped to establish the local bicycle and pedestrian committee and the Commute Options program. These programs have since been nationally recognized. She has also been on the statewide bicycle and pedestrian committee. A special achievement award was given to Ms. Swirsky by Michael Ronkin, State Bicycle and Pedestrian Program Manager, who has worked with Karen over the years. Mr. Ronkin commended Bend Police Department on the effectiveness of their enforcement program. He also noted that Ms. Swirsky showed up as an advocate when the bicycle advisory committee was meeting, and she expressed interest in becoming involved. She became a member within months, and was able to focus the committee and make the members more aware of the efforts of the cities east of the Cascades and of the needs of small town regarding transportation. He added that she has brought a wealth of information to the big picture and is a constant reminder that the issue is about people and communities, not just roads. He also said that Bend can be a good model for these efforts. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, June 2, 2003 Page 2 of 7 Pages 4.

Before the Board was a Discussion of a Public Hearing regarding the Inclusion of Property in the Hearings Officer's Decision (Land Use Files TA -02-13 and AZ -02-5, Zone Change; Applicant: Demaris; Property: Ahern Acres Subdivision, La Pine). Jon Skidmore said the applicant submitted an application to change the property to rural commercial, and did a good job of explaining why it is needed. At the hearing, the Hearings Officer and the applicant's attorney discussed why an additional lot, lot 6, had not been included in the initial application. This particular lot includes wells that service the other lots. The Hearings Officer had thought that proper notice would be provided by her decision, and anticipated the Board would adopt her decision. Mr. Skidmore added that during the past few days he received a few calls from neighbors who are concerned, and there is one letter in the file, regarding the additional lot. One person showed up at the hearing, but didn't really address the proper criteria. Laurie Craghead indicated this would be a land use hearing; however, technically the Board has to adopt the Hearings Officer's decision since there is no formal appeal. If there's a violation of a procedural ordinance, someone would have to show that they have been damaged. The Board needs to conduct a hearing as there could be an impact on the inclusion of the property not previously addressed at the original hearing. This item will be addressed on Wednesday, June 4, 2003. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, June 2, 2003 Page 4 of 7 Pages 8.
