A former commissioner, Jerry McCann, was in the audience and asked that the
present Commission try to get more help for the Sanitation Department. The
Commissioners agreed that Sanitation probably did need more help, but Commissioner
Paulson said they probably couldn't do anything until the next fiscal year. The
Commissioners thanked Jerry for coming and bringing this problem.
Chaitir,an Shepard had several matters to bring up. He was still asking for a letter
to be written to the State to try and get the speed reduced on Denser Rd. Commissioner
Young made a motion to instruct the Road Department to request the Speed Control
Board to reduce the speed on Denser Road to 35 miles per hour on behalf of the Board
of Commissioners. Commissioner Paulson seconded it. Commissioner Young voted aye,
Commissioner Paulson voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye.
Next was a letter from Sharon ,Boller asking that the Board appoint two new people
to the Welfare Board. Chairman Shepard said he would talk to Sharon and then have
the Board appoint the new people to the Board.
Commissioner Paulson brought up several items. First was the contract that would
be coming from Dr. Obermiller from the Oregon State Extension Service for a survey
to find out the citizens' preferences here in Deschutes County. Next was the memo
from Gene Venn dated May 30, 1979. Commissioner Paulsonmovedthat the 2nd memo from
Mr. Venn be a part of the record of Starwood but not be part of the record to be
considered by the Board. Commissioner Young seconded it. Commissioner Paulson
voted aye, Commissioner Young voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye.
Commissioner Paulson suggested that the Board send a telegram to Senator Chuck
Hanlin opposing the passage of House Bill 3008, which would adversely affect the
power of the counties to control the use and management of lands within the county
by interfering with their power to zone land. Chairman Shepard abstained as he said
he wasn't sure just exactly how he felt about it at the present time.
Next on the agenda was Leslie Aleshire. She read many pages of accusations against
Ken Glantz, Building Inspector, and the Building Dept. Among some of the accusations
were that Mr. Glantz refused to release information from building permit applications
and that he was "cheating the taxpayers" by the issuing of permits that did not
contain information required by state law. Ms. Aleshire explained that they publish
the Deschutes Construction Guide which is a listing of new building projects used by
contractors and building supply people to locate prospective customers. Leslie had
been taking the addresses and phone numbers from these applications. The Board of
Commissioners had discussed this with Mr. Glantz, and it was decided that a charge
of $120 per month would be made for the availability of this information. This
would cover costs of compiling a computerized list. The Board of Commissioners
listened to Leslie's complaints and said they would take all this underadvisement
and set another day to discuss the matters. Mr. Bob Zuckemier and Gary Clift
spoke in favor of the Building Department and said they had no problems getting
any information that they had needed.
Da -0 Van Vactor was next and asked the Commissioners to allow Mr. Clarence
Reeves to dig 4 or 5 test holes in the LaPine area where he is trying to develop
the lots he has. Commissioner Paulson moved that Mr. Reeves be given permission
to dig 4 or 5 test holes on the County land so indidcated on the map. Commissioner
Young seconded the motion. Commissioner Young voted aye, Commissioner Paulson
voted. aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye. Mr. Reeves was.instructed by the Board
of Commissioners to have the holes filled in immediately after they have been reviewed
by the Sanitation Department.
