None was offered.
Commissioner Daly introduced Rachael and Jerry Scdoris, who are responsible
for bringing the AttaBoy 300 sled dog races to Central Oregon. Mr. Scdoris
showed a videotape originally telecast by NBC Television. He said there are
about 700 volunteers who help out with the race, approximately 25,000
spectators, and 25 different nations that are a part of the Sled Dog Federation.
The economic impacts are impressive.

The race also brings awareness of visual problems, and provides a positive role
model for visually impaired children. Also, about $40,000 worth of eye care
was provided to people in the community. Teachers also use the information as
a study guide in their curriculum.
Mr. Scdoris thanked the Board for its continued support. The national media is
coming to the World Champ race, then will go on to the Iditirod, and Central
Oregon needs to be ready for them. The race is January 5 through 14, with a
maximum of 150 teams; 30 of them will be the best who have been here before.
The U.S. has the only teams who do not get a travel stipend.
2. Before the Board was a Presentation of a Certificate Commending Mindy
Stomner (of the Health Department) for Receiving the 2004 Immunization
Provider Award from the Oregon Partnership to Immunize Children.
Muriel Delavergne and Dan Peddycord introduced Mindy Stomner. Ms.
Stomner said that she has been heavily involved in the Shots for Tots program
and the school exclusion program, helping to refine the process to make
immunizations more available. There were about 5,500 children handled
through the program this year.
3. Before the Board was a Presentation of a Certificate Commending Carol
O'Dell (of Legal Counsel's Office) for being Nominated to Receive an
Award of Excellence from the National Association of Legal Secretaries of
Oregon.
Laurie Craghead, Mark Pilliod, Mark Amberg and Laurie Jo Kendall introduced
Carol O'Dell. Ms. O'Dell was nominated as Member of the Year through the
local chapter because of her efforts to bring education for staff to the local level
so that travel to other areas is less necessary. Mark Amberg added that she is
one of three people nominated for the State award, which will be determined on
May 14.
4. Before the Board was a Discussion and Consideration of Signature of the
Deschutes County Health Department Annual Plan for Fiscal Year 2004-
05.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, May 3, 2004
Page 2 of 9 Pages
Dan Peddycord explained that the annual public health plan reflected the grant
stream in the past. It has shifted to addressing local health needs, and there
have been changes in how it is to be funded. Most of the funding is federal, but
it is funneled through the State.
LUKE: Move approval.
DALY: Second.
VOTE: LUKE: Yes.
DALY: Chair votes yes.
5. Before the Board was a Discussion and Consideration of Signature of an
Intent to Award Letter (to Harney Rock and Paving) for the Supplying and
Hauling of Crushed, Pre -Coated Rock for Chip Seal.
Tom Blust said the bids came in higher than expected; costs, especially for
asphalt, are now 32% higher than last year. This special bid is for chip seal
rock, which is a certain grade of rock with no fines in it; the rock is coated with
asphalt on it, then spread over liquid asphalt, and it extends the life of the road.
LUKE: Move approval.
DALY: Second.
VOTE: LUKE: Yes.
DALY: Chair votes yes.
6. Before the Board was a Discussion of a Public for Remonstrances for the
Oasis Local Improvement District; and Consideration of Signature of
Resolution No. 2004-042, Directing Oasis Local Improvement District
Improvements to be Made by Contract.
Gary Judd said that no one has objected; and 35 of the 46 lots voted in favor of
it during the mail poll.
This item will be on the Wednesday, May S Board agenda.

7. Before the Board was Discussion and Consideration of Signature of
Resolution No. 2004-041, Declaring the County's Intent to Issue
Obligations to Reimburse the County for Certain Expenditures relating to
the Oasis Local Improvement District.
This item will be on the Wednesday, May S Board agenda.
8. Before the Board was Discussion and Consideration of Signature of
Document No. 2004-183, a Services Contract between Deschutes County
and DataStor for Document Scanning and Microfiche Formatting Services.
Laurie Furlong and Doreen Blome' stated that the contract amount has been
lowered since much of the archiving portion has been completed.
LUKE: Move approval.
DALY: Second.
VOTE: LUKE: Yes.
DALY: Chair votes yes.
9. Before the Board was a Discussion and Consideration of Signature of a
Letter Appointing Patrick Griffiths to the Deschutes River Mitigation &
Enhancement Committee, through May 5, 2007.
Jon Skidmore said that the Committee was formed with seven voting members,
but there have been two vacancies for some time. Mr. Griffiths would be the
County representative filling one of the vacancies.
Commissioner Luke stated that he would like to see more money going into
projects rather than being forwarded to Fish & Wildlife in Salem for office
overhead.
Mr. Skidmore replied that the group has approached Fish & Wildlife in this
regard, and discussions are ongoing.
This item will be on the Wednesday, May 5 Board agenda.

10. Before the Board was a Discussion and Consideration of Signature of
Document No. 2004-176, Amending an Intergovernmental Agreement with
the City of Redmond regarding the Redmond Urban Reserve Area and
Redmond Urban Growth Area.
Catherine Morrow said that this is a continuation of a former agreement, and
doesn't change any arrangement now in place. This sets up the land use process
outside of the urban growth boundary, as the City of Redmond is working on an
urban reserve plan.
LUKE: Move approval.
DALY: Second.
VOTE: LUKE: Yes.
DALY: Chair votes yes.
11. Before the Board was a Discussion of a Decision on an Appeal of the
Hearings Officer's Decision Denying a Verification of a Non -conforming
Use (Applicant: Fleming).
Cathy White stated that the commercially used portion of the property has been
verified, and consists of approximately one acre, as determined by the use of
GIS data.
This item will be on the Wednesday, May 5 Board agenda.
12. Before the Board was Discussion and Consideration of Signature of Order
No. 2004-039, Declaring Intent to Form the Deschutes County Vector
Control District, and Setting a Hearing Date (regarding Mosquitoes that
May Carry the West Nile Virus).
Laurie Craghead said that Mike Berry and Greg Base of the Road Department,
John Cain of the Assessor's Office, Jeff Sageser of the Clerk's Office, Dan
Peddycord of Health, and Bob Haas of I.T. all helped to get this information
together quickly.
Commissioner Luke stated that this is the first step in a long process, and that
he's not yet decided on the issue. Ms. Craghead explained that the order needs
to be filed 180 days before the election, as required by statute, so it needs to be
signed today. It merely sets a date for the first hearing.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, May 3, 2004
Page 5 of 9 Pages
Dan Peddycord thanked Ms. Craghead for getting the documents prepared so
quickly. He stated that in Illinois two years ago several hundred people died,
thousands were affected, there was a huge cost to the medical system, and there
was some public pandemonium.
Last year in Colorado there were 2,900 cases, with 600 people hospitalized -
some of them permanently disabled - and 61 deaths. The cost was
astronomical.
Mr. Peddycord emphasized that it would be foolhardy to think this couldn't
happen in Oregon. The rate of movement of the disease has been faster than
anticipated. The formation of a Countywide vector control district would be a
good preemptive step, as the mosquito that commonly carries the disease is
found throughout the County.
If this issue doesn't go before the voters this year, it won't be able to be placed
on the ballot until 2006. He added that a rate of 5.4 cents per thousand should
be adequate. This is not mosquito nuisance control; rather, it is to control the
threat of a public health menace.
Laurie Craghead added that the formation of a district is a funding mechanism.
Only the County can place this on the ballot. The rate could be different by the
time it gets to that point. Four Rivers Vector Control District has to be
exempted; in March 2005 it is possible the two districts could be merged.
Commissioner Luke asked what the State of Oregon is doing. Mr. Peddycord
said that the State provides no funding for services; they will only do testing of
dead birds and assists with some coordination of local vector control plans.
Commissioner Luke added that the State won't even spray or arrange for
spraying at La Pine State Park, which is next to a controlled area. Mr.
Peddycord said that for it to be truly effective, the whole area needs to be
treated.
Mr. Peddycord added that he is attempting to gather documentation regarding
the economic impact to Colorado last year, since the area affected is similar to
Deschutes County.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, May 3, 2004

Citizen Paul Heidtke asked to speak. He said that he is a licensed test
management professional who works for Terminex in the private sector. He has
identified these mosquitoes in numerous areas of the County, and wanted to
publicly endorse the formation of this district. He added that he believes the
district is essential, and this is a golden opportunity for the County. As the
West Nile virus has spread, people have been astounded at how quickly it
spreads and how serious it is.
No other comments were offered.
Commissioner Daly stated that based on what has happened in other areas, this
is the right thing to do. The County needs to do all it can in this regard, and the
citizens will decide if they wish to support it.
LUKE: Move approval.
DALY: Second.
VOTE: LUKE: Yes.
DALY: Chair votes yes.
13. Before the Board was a Discussion and Consideration of Signature of
Order No. 2004-040, Placing a Ballot Measure before Voters on the
November 2004 General Election Ballot regarding the Formation of a
Transit District.
Mark Pilliod said that a copy of the resolution adopted by City of Bend just
came in the mail late last week, and some additional pieces are necessary. The
County has to place this on the ballot, as the City can't. Mr. Pilliod added that
this would be on next week's agenda.
14. Before the Board was a Discussion and Consideration of Signature of
Document No. 2004-191, an Indemnity Agreement regarding the La Pine
Frontier Days Celebration.
Judy Sumners said all necessary paperwork has been submitted and reviewed.
LUKE: Move approval.
DALY: Second.
VOTE: LUKE: Yes.
DALY: Chair votes yes.

15. Before the Board was a Discussion and Consideration of Signature of a
Request for Partial Reconveyance and an Appointment of a Successor
Trustee Form regarding Property Previously Sold by the County.
Tammy Credicott stated that the County is carrying the note and trust deed, and
had offered a partial reconveyance so the buyers can partition the property.
This item will be on the Wednesday, May S Board agenda.
16. Before the Board was a Discussion and Consideration of Approval of the
Implementation of the B -Physical Activity Academy.
Ronda Connor referred to a packet of information provided to the
Commissioners. She said the program has been approved by the Employee
Benefits Advisory Committee, and was reviewed and approved by Risk
Management and Legal Counsel. It is now ready for adoption by the Board.
Commissioner Luke pointed out some items that he felt needed clarification or
a change of wording. He said that he is not supportive of the program because
he did not like the fact that the program manager worked away from the office,
visiting sites and doing research, on County time, even though the other two
Commissioners had indicated in the past that is part of the program manager's
job. He did say that he believes the program will work, but wanted to express
his disapproval of the program manager visiting Mt. Bachelor to make
arrangements for employee events. Therefore, he will not vote yes.
Ronda Connor clarified that employees participate in the events on their own
time. Commissioner Daly observed that for someone who is going to vote
against the program, Commissioner Luke spent a lot of time going over the
details.
This item will be on the Monday, May 10 Board agenda, when Commissioner
De Wolf is back in the office.
17. Before the Board was a Discussion and Consideration of Signature of
Resolution No. 2004-043, Transferring Appropriations within the
Deschutes County Sheriffs Office Fund.
LUKE: Move approval.
DALY: Second.

DALY: Chair votes yes.
18. ADDITION TO THE AGENDA
Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Document No. 2004-
193, a Subgrant Contract with COCAAN to Administer the Housing
Rehabilitation Loan Program, Community Development Block Grant.
Susan Ross was unavailable to discuss the item at this time, so the item will be
addressed at the Administrative Liaison later in the day.
Being no further items brought before the Board, Chair Daly adjourned the
meeting at 11:30 a.m.
DATED this 3rd Day of May 2004 for the Deschutes County Board of

From the time she was able to walk, Rachael Scdoris
had shown an interested in dogs and mushing . She
took her first ride when she was 3 and from then on,
that was where she wanted to be. She ran in her first
sled dog race at the age of 11. That is remarkable in
itself, but the most interesting fact is Rachael is legally
blind. Her vision condition, acromatopsia, reduces
her vision to about 15 feet, and that is blurred to-
gether and with incorrect or blended colors. It cannot
Rachael age be corrected with glasses or surgery. For 17 years
Rachael has not allowed that to slow her down or
stop her from following her dreams.
Rachael takes care of her sled dogs at the kennel and she trusts them to
take care of her on the trail. Sled dogs are able to pull her over the
snow at top speeds of almost 25 mph! She controls them with her
voice, as she has no reins to guide the team. She is 60 feet from her
leaders, the distance from home plate to the pitcher's mound in baseball!
She has run thousands of miles in all kinds of weather with her canine
friends. And during the off-season, she runs cross-country and track.
Try this!
To give an understanding of the level of
trust and courage it takes to be a blind
musher, do this exercise in your classroom
or school.
One student will wear a blindfold and
listen to instructions from another to cross
the room. You could even keep track of
how long it takes. Then have a student act
as the `dog' and guide the blindfolded student while someone gives
directions again. Is it any different in how it feels or how long it takes?
Take turns being the `musher' or the `dog'.
"Persona" is when a writer assumes the identity of another and writes
from their point of view. Imagine you are a sled dog! Write a journal
page from a sled dog's point of view. What is your name? Are you one
of the two leaders, a wheel dog (the two closest to the sled), a swing
dog (the two right behind the leaders) or a team dog (everybody else)?
Tell how your day goes, what your likes and dislikes are and let us see
life through a sled dog's eyes.
What is this eager sled dog saying
to his musher on the sled?
Friction is the amount of contact between two objects. The less
friction there is, the faster something will move. Sleds are built to cause
the least amount of friction between the sled and and snow. The run-
ners are thin and as they glide over the snow, a thin layer of water is
melted. The dog's paws have greater traction and more friction than the
sled, which is why the dogs can carry all the gear and a human on
snowcovered trails at almost 25 mpg on downhill sprint sections.
To control the speed, mushers have a flat brake that they step on
between the runners. The `emergency brake' is the snow hook. The
friction created by these things is still not enough to stop
a team, so they are tied to something like a tree or truck ik
>r long stops.
The Atta Boy Dog Food 300 Sled Dog Race seeks to bring attention
to opthalmology research and advance and encourage acceptance of
visually impaired people in academics, work, recreation and athletics
in a sighted world. It also seeks to promote winter tourism in Cen-
tral Oregon and bring world-class mushing to the area.

other times. There is a science to what they wear. Have you ever heard ther����
statement, "Cotton kills"? Which of these items would a musher want to
wear? Cross out things the}
o Look at the Winning Times Table from the 2002 Atta Boy
°°tt°° 300 sled dog race and answer the following questions:

Wow! Not only is the Iditarod a spectator sport (for the start) but it is our signature event that conferences and ski groups
intentionally book around! We also have a familiarization trip for meeting planners every year around the Iditarod. They
LOVE it! This past March we had 60+ who came on the trip. It is a huge selling tool for us. In 2003 we had 13 conventions
around Iditarod dates for a total economic impact of $1,418,498 just from the conferences which represented 2070
delegates. Plus some of the tour operators who take people on the trail to see the race have seen a big jump in clients.
One's business tripled this year.
The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race is a strong marketing tool for winter tourism and convention sales in Anchorage. The
Anchorage Convention and Visitors Bureau actively supports and promotes this Last Great "Event!" Iditarod and Anchorage
both benefit.
ACVB has four departments that work cooperatively in supporting and promoting the Iditarod: Convention Meetings Sales &
Service (CMSS), Tourism Sales & Service (TSS), Community Member & Visitor Relations (CMVR), and Communications
(COMM). Events Management, in the CMSS department, focuses on bringing more people to Anchorage through our top
events and new events. Iditarod is our centerpiece for promoting winter.
The Iditarod is also at the heart of the Winter Recreation, Sports, & Tourism Partnership, a group that represents the
development of winter recreation and sports in Anchorage. The vision of the group is for the greater Anchorage area to be
a winter recreation capital. The Iditarod is the cornerstone of that vision.
Iditarod:
- Sells conventions
- Sells tourists
- Sells other sporting events for the same weekend: U.S. National Masters Ski Championships, Tour of Anchorage, Ski for
Light, US Snowshoe National Snowshoe Championship, Australian, Thailand, Alaska Marathon Race
ACVB our Website 2003 Statistics: From Nov. 15 - March 24 there were 5500 people who viewed the Iditarod page. Biggest
traffic days -were just prior to the start and during the 10 days after the event. It ranked as the 15th most viewed page from
Jan. 15 - March 24. Last year's rank for the same time period was 33rd with 2244 viewers
I've attached the economic study that we did in 2003 on the impact of the race start in Anchorage.
Hope this helps your case!

From the study:
Economic Impacts
In this study, we measured economic impact with two primary models: The New Money Model measured the
impact of visitor related spending, and the Overall Impact Model measured the impact of all local and visitor
spending.
New Money Model- The direct economic impact of Visitors who came from over 50 miles from the event was
$3,734,443. Factored with an industry established universal multiplier* of 1.5, the direct and indirect economic
impact of Visitors was $5,601,665.
Demographics
• The percentage of individuals who attended the Iditarod in a group was 83%.
For those who came in a group, 21% indicated that they brought their children, 63% came with friends or
relatives over 18, 8% came with children of friends, and 43% came with a spouse.
