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 JOINT MEETING DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AND CITY OF BEND COUNCIL THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 2004 Commissioners' Hearing Room - Administration Building — 1130 NW Harriman St., Bend Present from the County were Commissioners Michael M. Daly, Tom DeWolf and Dennis R. Luke. Also present were Mike Maier, County Administrator; Bob Haas, Information Technologies; Mark Pilliod, Legal Counsel; George Read, Community Development; Anna Johnson and Susan Ross, Commissioners' Office; and Don Webber, Emergency Services Manager. Present from the City were Ron Garzini, Interim City Manager; Councilors John Hummel, Linda Johnson and Bill Friedman; Police Chief Andy Jordan; Patricia Stell, Steve Meyers, Stephen Mann, Ken Fuller, Brad Emerson, Brian Shetterly and James Lewis. Also in attendance were media representatives Chris Barker of the Bulletin, Barney Lerten of bend com and The Bugle, and Hourie Arakelian of Z-21 TV; and approximately a dozen other citizens. (Copies of the sign -in sheets are attached as Exhibit A) 1. Call to Order. The meeting was called to order at 7:35 a.m. 2. UGB Expansion/industrial Lands Update. Brian Shetterly of the City gave an overview of the need for industrial property in the City of Bend; a recent study indicated that the City is short of such property by about 250 acres. Minutes of Commissioners/Bend City Council Joint Meeting Thursday, March 18, 2004 Page 1 of 5 Pages (He provided handouts that explained the major milestones for planning and development of the property known as Juniper Ridge. Copies of these handouts are attached as Exhibit B) The group also discussed possible sources of funding for the development of industrial property, and the issue of the Cooley Road/Highway 97 intersection. 3. Update on Resolution to Withdraw Property from the City. Mike Maier stated that the Department of Revenue has asked that the legal description of the property be refined. Commissioner Luke gave a brief overview of the reasons for withdrawing the property from the city limits, including the fact that such a change would enable the establishment of a Justice Court on the property to serve the citizens of Bend. Mike Maier added that he hopes eventually a bill will pass that will allow a Justice Court within the City so that it can perhaps be located downtown, as a convenience for citizens. He also stated that this change would not result in any financial impact to the City or County. Patti Stell said that this issue will probably be on the agenda for the next City Council meeting, and a hearing will be required. It will then go on to the County for appropriate action. 4. Transit Update. Ron Garzini stated that the Council met to examine the viability of the proposal for set route public transit., and will likely take action in April to spell out the reasons for the County to consider the proposal. The law leaves the responsibility to the County in regard to the boundaries, nature, who provides the services, how the services would be provided and so on. The City will likely recommend a $.29 per thousand tax base for this special district, which will be presented to the voters. Typically a district such as this starts with the city limits, and over time expands as needed, depending on funding. Minutes of Commissioners/Bend City Council Joint Meeting Thursday, March 18, 2004 Page 2 of 5 Pages The group discussed whether it would be best to start with just the city limits, or to go to the voters with a larger scale district. A suggestion was made that the County should speak with representatives of the cities of Redmond and Sisters to find out if they would like to be a part of the first part of the planning process. 5. Discussion of Possible City Use of County Meeting Facilities. Mike Maier said that the County is willing to work out an agreement for long- term use of the new County meeting facilities at little or no cost to the City. Susan Ross gave a brief overview of the space and equipment, and stated that the meeting space may be ready to use in May even though the Administration offices will not be moving into the facility until early June. Ron Garzini stated that the City has planned to meet at the Tower Theatre, but he would like to consider using the County's space since it could be more functional for large public meetings. 6. Presentation of Fire & Emergency Mapping Project. Bob Haas, County GIS and Web Manager, gave a presentation on the extensive maps that are now available. He said that the initial focus was for the mapping information to be utilized by emergency services, but there are many other possible users. (A copy of some of the information he presented is attached as Exhibit C.) Those attending the meeting showed a lot of interest in the project. 7. Emergency Services Plan Update. Don Webber, Emergency Services Manager, provided a brief overview of the plan, which was put together in part through funding from a federal grant. The old plan had not been updated in years, and this new version was greatly needed. Minutes of Commissioners/Bend City Council Joint Meeting Thursday, March 18, 2004 Page 3 of 5 Pages 8. Other Business. Councilor Linda Johnson stated that she and the other Councilors have been getting a lot of phone calls from citizens in regard to the proposed tire pyrolysis project, and asked what the County plans to do in regard to the project. Commissioner Luke explained that a process is in place for a series of hearings, beginning with a DEQ hearing. A site plan review by the County will also be needed, which would include a public hearing as well. He added that when issues are addressed by government agencies, the facts need to be fair and accurate; this is not always true of individuals and non- government groups. He also said that representatives of the County felt there was no risk to public safety at all from the project or they would not have considered the project at all; and that it is his understanding the school's heating system puts out more pollution than the project would. The Commissioners were asked when the Blue Ribbon Committee to address permanent Sheriff funding would be established. Commissioner Luke replied that documents regarding the formation of the Committee will be presented within a couple of weeks. Linda Johnson asked what was happening in regard to the West Nile virus situation. She asked that a representative of the Health Department make a presentation to the Council at its next meeting to provide an update. Being no further items brought before the group, the meeting adjourned at 8:45 a.m. Minutes of Commissioners/Bend City Council Joint Meeting Thursday, March 18, 2004 Page 4 of 5 Pages DATED this 18th Day of March 2004 for the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners.

Each of the tasks listed below can be considered as a project in itself, with many sub -tasks. As this effort evolves, it is likely that additional tasks will be identified and the nature of some of these tasks will also change. The timeline accompanying this outline should be considered as part of a best - case scenario. Significant delays are possible for any of the identified tasks. Delays in any one task are likely to affect the timing and completion of other related tasks. Juniper Ridge is a 513 -acre site located at the north end of Bend, east of US Hwy. 97 and north of Cooley Rd. It is adjacent to the Bend Urban Growth Boundary and city limits on portions of its west and south boundaries. Juniper Ridge has been proposed for annexation to the city primarily to provide more land for light industrial uses. An economic lands study completed in 2001 found a shortage of acreage available for industrial development, and recommended annexation of Juniper Ridge to meet the city's long-term industrial employment needs. 1. Public Involvement Events This item indicates scheduled or anticipated events during which citizens and the public in general will have an opportunity to express views and otherwise participate in the process of bringing Juniper Ridge into the UGB and planning for its development. These events include open houses, design workshops, and formal public hearings taking place in connection with several of the identified tasks. 2. TSP Amendment — Cooley/Hwy. 97 The existing at -grade intersection of Cooley Rd. and Hwy. 97 is near capacity, and will need to be upgraded to accommodate significant new development on Juniper Ridge. The first step in making this upgrade possible is to Major Milestones — Planning and Development Exhibit Page 1 Page _ V of Z4 amend the Bend Transportation System Plan (TSP) to list this as a project. This TSP amendment proposes to design and construct a grade -separated interchange at this intersection, with an estimated cost of $15 million, during the next 5 years. This amendment was approved by the City Council on March 3, 2004, following public hearings before both the Bend Planning Commission and the City Council. 3 Design/Develop 18th & Cooley Street Improvements During hearings on the TSP amendment, the City Council noted that pedestrian safety improvements are needed on both Cooley Rd. and NE 18th St. in the vicinity of Juniper Ridge. Although significant improvements to both of these streets would be required in connection with Juniper Ridge development, the Council directed staff to investigate short-term improvements that may be needed now, and to prepare CIP amendments to fund and build these improvements. 4 Possible Appeal(s) of UGB Expansion A decision to expand the Urban Growth Boundary to include Juniper Ridge is a land use action subject to appeal under Oregon law. It is possible that one or more objectors will file an appeal of this action with the State of Oregon. Any such appeal will delay the effective date of the expansion until final resolution. 5 Site Plan and Long -Range Plan — (Otak, Inc.) The City of Bend has hired Otak, Inc., a planning and engineering consulting firm, to prepare a development plan for the Juniper Ridge industrial site, as well as a long-term, conceptual land use plan for an additional 1,000 -acre area owned by the City. This planning project got underway in January 2004, and will continue into early 2005. When complete, the Juniper Ridge industrial park plan will be presented for adoption as part of the Bend Area General Plan to guide future development of the site. 6 Refine Marketing Strategy — Consider Master Developer This task builds upon work that will take place through the Otak site planning process. That project will include some basic research into the local and regional industrial lands market, leading to suggestions as to the basic types of industries and other activities that might be a good fit for the Juniper Ridge site. This task takes that work a step further, targeting specific industries and employers that the City may want to actively pursue. The second part of this task involves making a decision about contracting with a "master developer" who would lead the transition from planning for Juniper Ridge to developing the project in all of its elements. Among other things, a master developer could help determine the role that a university campus might play in complementing light industrial / research and development activities in this area. 7 Adopt Phase 1 Site Plan and Plan Amendments The Phase 1 site plan referred to in this task is the outcome of the Otak-led planning process for the 513 -acre Juniper Ridge industrial park. As noted under Task 5, this site development plan will be proposed for adoption by the City as part of the General Plan, in the form of a refinement plan. This action commits the City to follow the adopted refinement plan during the process of Major Milestones — Planning and DevelopmentPage 2 Exhibit . Page _hof_ developing the site. The adoption process will involve public hearings before both the Bend Planning Commission and the Bend City Council. 8. Subdivision Plan and Plat Following adoption of the final Phase 1 site plan, it will be necessary to prepare a detailed subdivision plan for Juniper Ridge, and to file a plat to create lots that can be sold or leased and developed. 9. Acquire Right -of -Way and Build Cooley/Hwy. 97 Interchange This task follows Task 5, in which funding for a new interchange at Cooley/Hwy. 97 is secured and the project is designed. The process of acquiring additional right-of-way and constructing the interchange could easily take eighteen months or more. 10. Property Disposition and Development Agreements In this task, the City as landowner is in negotiation with specific developers and businesses who are interested in locating in the Juniper Ridge industrial park, or who the City may decide to recruit as particularly well-suited to this site and the community. Case by case decisions will be made as to whether property is leased or sold, terms of contracts, and obligations of the City and other service providers in meeting the needs of specific development projects. 11. Fund and Construct Infrastructure Significant infrastructure improvements will be needed, both on-site and off-site, to make Juniper Ridge developable, beyond the need to upgrade the Cooley/Hwy. 97 intersection. Water and sewer lines will need to be extended into the property, as well as electrical, natural gas, and telecommunications facilities. Cooley Rd. and NE 18`h St. will need to be improved with curbs, sidewalks, landscaping, and other features. New streets will need to be built within the site. In this task, the process of funding, designing, and building the needed infrastructure will be carried out. Depending on availability of funding, this process may take two years or more to reach the point where adequate infrastructure exists to support initial development of the Juniper Ridge site.

The maps were designed to provide detailed information for areas directly impacted by an emergency and to help emergency managers develop appropriate response and evacuation plans. Funding for this project was provided by Deschutes County and through a Title III grant from Public Law 106-393 (106th Congress) "Secure Rural Schools and Community Self -Determination Act of 2000". In addition, the County is very appreciative of the time and effort dedicated to this collaborative project by all of the Fire Districts operating within the county. The Photo Map Series includes 93 maps that represent all areas within Deschutes County. Each individual map is based on a Township which represents an area of approximately 36 square miles. Maps are available as hard copy prints (36" X 48") and are also available as digital PDF files. The design of the maps was based on extensive input and review by the emergency response community. A key aspect of the design process was to assure that information is clearly portrayed. In addition, efforts have been made to assure that the maps reflect the most accurate and current information possible. However, undoubtedly the maps contain errors and future efforts will be directed at correcting reported errors and updating the maps so that they include recent development activity. In addition, future versions will include other important information including the location of bridges and their weight limits. The maps are presently being printed and distributed at no charge to Fire Districts operating within the County, the U.S. Forest Service and BLM, the Oregon Department of Forestry, the Deschutes County Sheriffs Office, the cities of Bend, Redmond, and Sisters, and to other emergency service providers. We are also investigating options for distributing the maps to other groups who may benefit from their use. Questions on map availability may be directed to Bob Haas, Deschutes County GIS & Web Manager, at (541) 330-4608 or by e-mail to bobhe-co.deschutes.or.us. The following pages document information portrayed on the Photo Map series. The information is organized by major subject categories such as boundaries, development, transportation, water features, emergency service locations, and places of interest. We encourage you to review the documentation and to be aware of some of the limitations of the displayed information.
