Deschutes County Board of Commissioners 1130 NW Harriman St., Bend, OR 97701-1947 (541) 388-6570 - Fax (541) 3884752 - www.deschutes.ore MINUTES OF ADMINISTRATIVE LIAISON DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MONDAY, AUGUST 11, 2003 Conference Room B - Administration Building - 1130 NW Harriman St., Bend Present were Commissioners Dennis R. Luke, Tom De Wolf and Michael M. Daly; also present were Timm Schimke, Solid Waste Department; Susan Ross and Anna Johnson, Commissioners' Office; Mark Pilliod, Legal Counsel; and three representatives of URS Corporation (Bob Carn, George Holroyd and Don Kliewer). No media representatives or other citizens were present. The meeting began at 1:30 p.m. 1. Discussion of Design Contract for URS Corporation, Knott Landfill Project. Timm Schimke said that this issue was discussed last week, and the Board had requested further information on the tasks and subtasks regarding the Phase I contract with URS. He added that the others, for Phases II and III, will come later through a bid process. Commissioner Luke stated that this is an ongoing contract, and he is not comfortable with the facility operations evaluation. He suggested this be taken out and the existing contract used; he is not sure what it does, and there needs to be more discussion and a consensus reached. Minutes of Administrative Liaison Monday, August 11, 2003 Page 1 of 5 Pages Mr. Schimke said that bidding was discussed some time ago. This could drastically change how it looks, so a decision needs to be made soon. Bob Cam stated that they see the most success when the designers have some input. Commissioner Luke added that everyone who will use the facility should have input on the design. Don Kliewer said that the design is geared to Phase I. He then went over the parameters for the Phase I design work., and added that it allows for alternatives that may come up. (A copy of the Phase I plan is attached as Exhibit A) Commissioner Luke explained that he and others looked at three facilities in California, including one that provides for dumping over a wall, and another that allows for dumping on a slab. The problem with dumping on a slab is that customers are too close to equipment. Bob Cam said that other considerations are how to handle recycling reloads, commercial dumping and hazard waste handling. Commissioner DeWolf stated that it seems reasonable to be able to determine what needs to be done and design it accordingly. He expressed concern about the money needed to have more than one design; this makes no sense to him. Bob Cam replied that in his experience it's never possible to arrive at one design layout. They start with some basic plans, but always end up with several scenarios. Timm Schimke said that there will be some decisions needed down the line. For instance, it needs to be determined if the mature trees on the site should be taken down and the roads made more direct, or if the trees should remain and the roads be adjusted accordingly. There are other issues to address as well. Phase I is the most important, as it establishes the traffic patterns for the future phases. He added that site plan approval will come from Community Development; and added that neighbor relations have been good. The public has been involved for a long time. He also said that it is important not to skimp on the front-end work. Minutes of Administrative Liaison Monday, August 11, 2003 Page 2 of 5 Pages Commissioner Luke said that the facilities evaluation should be taken out, and just included in the contract. Commissioner DeWolf asked if the scope could be narrowed down to two alternatives. Mr. Schimke said he would try. Commissioner DeWolf asked about the need for the hazardous waste building. Mr. Schimke said that this would provide better service and the lowest cost for hazardous waste collection events, which could be scheduled more often as appropriate. This may keep some of the hazardous waste from going into the landfill when it shouldn't. DALY: Move that in the facilities evaluation, task #3 be eliminated, and that the Phase I design work not exceed $256,726, based on a time and materials basis. DEWOLF: Second, provided unnecessary designs be eliminated if possible. VOTE: DALY: Yes. DEWOLF: Yes. LUKE: Chair votes yes. Timm Schimke and the representatives of URS left the meeting at this time. 2. Communications Update. Anna Johnson provided an update of various projects at this time. A lengthy discussion took place regarding the recommendations of the training committee in regard to what training should be offered, what training should be mandatory, how to determine if a particular employee should attend some classes that are offered, and whether employees should attend on County time or their own time, depending on the class. (A draft copy of the Deschutes County Training Calendar for 2004 is attached as Exhibit B) Commissioner Luke asked that a list of the members of the committee be provided to the Commissioners. Minutes of Administrative Liaison Monday, August 11, 2003 Page 3 of 5 Pages Commissioner DeWolf said that in his opinion the main focus needs to be placed on training that will help eliminate lawsuits. Proper training of supervisors and department heads is critical. Mandatory training needs to be integrated into other classes, and a balance reached in regard to what is appropriate when taking classes during County -paid time. Anna Johnson stated that the calendar will be on the intranet. She added that the interviews of department heads will begin soon, for the orientation video. Also, Sharon Noone of PSU will be meeting with various department heads this week. She said she is preparing the citizen update and the employee newsletter for this fall. 3. Update of County Projects. Susan Ross said that she is still working to get the site review through the City of Bend. Also, a meeting is being set with the owners of the veterinary clinic located at the corner of Olney and the proposed easement to discuss mitigation and use of the easement. 4. Other Business. Mark Pilliod gave an overview of the allegations and pleadings regarding the Group W LLC (Peter Wanless) investigation relating to Integrated Resource Recovery, LLC; Glen Pyle v John Buss, et al; and RTC et al vs. Icehouse Investors. He said that the chronological report indicates that all cases were dismissed. Being no further items brought before the group, the meeting adjourned at 2: 50 p. m.

Deliverables: • Two Workshops and Meeting Minutes • Evaluation and Recommendations Report • Meeting with Deschutes Recycling • Preparation of an Implementation Plan • Assistance with Selecting Operator (if needed) Task 4.0 Design Development and Building Programming The purpose of this task is to define the development criteria for the North Area by a systematic process of investigating the needs, the desires and the operational concerns of the County. By this process we will define the framework for the building forms, the site development layout and the anticipated construction costs. The project team will conduct the following tasks: Task 4.1 Design Criteria Memorandum Prepare Design Criteria Memorandum that will be the basis for design development and detail designs. This memorandum contains a summary of all of the key elements needed for the project design and communications. The memorandum will be prepared by obtaining data for designs from the appropriate County building officials as well as meeting with the County's solid waste administration and operations staff to determine: Specific design criteria they want the design team to utilize. How they would like to see the Station operate. Construction contract procedures. Meeting(s) will also be held with other appropriate stakeholders to discuss recycling requirements, integration of the composting operations, maintenance facility requirements, HHW requirements, and other issues important to the success of this planning phase. Task 4.2 Alternative Layouts Prepare three alternative layouts for buildings, site and landscape elements, for the respective areas within the site, meet with County for review and comments, and select a preferred alternative for detail design.

Contract 123 080703.doc 08/08/03 3:11 PM -- image 4 Exhibit Page _ of It is during this activity that site plan design concepts will be integrated into the program and would include the engineering, the landscape and architectural design; thereby, establishing the overall campus theme for the project. Task 4.3 Landscape Master Plan Deschutes County has a unique opportunity to develop a Facility Master Plan that sets a community -wide precedent for recycling and implementation of a "sustainable" development. Site design and development that emphasizes the preservation of existing trees and a sensitivity to grading will create an attractive "Campus" providing a community asset and a functional recycling facility. Task 4.4 Design and Construction Cost Estimate/Develop Project Schedule Prepare conceptual construction cost estimates and implementation schedules for each alternative. It is also at this point that URS will present to the County the final detailed budget fee now that it is determined what exactly is to be designed for each area of the site Task 5.0 Site Plan Review Develop the accepted alternative for each site and building location for client acceptance and submission for site plan review by the County Planning Department. Incorporate any site plan review comments and review with client for acceptance prior to proceeding with Design. This would include finalizing the architectural character, materials, colors and landscaping to be utilized in the designs.
