MINUTES OF ADMINISTRATIVE LIAISON
DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
TUESDAY, JUNE 89 2004
Commissioners' Meeting Room - Administration Building
1130 NW Harriman St., Bend
Present were Commissioners Michael M. Daly, Dennis R. Luke and Tom DeWolf.
Also present were Mike Maier, County Administrator; Susan Ross and Anna
Johnson, Commissioners' Office; Mark Pilliod, Legal Counsel; and two other
citizens (Dave Fairclo and a home -schooled student). No media representatives
were present.
The meeting was called to order at 1: 30 p.m.
1. Discussion regarding Renaming of General Patch Bridge.
Dave Fairclo of the Central Oregon Veterans Council explained that the
Deschutes Historical Society has endorsed the renaming of General Patch
Bridge to honor Medal of Honor recipient Bob Maxwell. He said that the U.S.
Forest Service and the Historic Landmarks Commission are also supportive.
Commissioner Luke stated that he has a problem personally with the bridge
renaming issue, which in his opinion has become political. He added that he
thinks there should be a group of federal and state groups meeting to decide
names, and that there are other people living in the area who are also deserving.
Mr. Fairclo said that the renaming would be to honor all veterans, and since
there is no procedure in place for this process, the Commissioners have
discretion in this regard. A lengthy discussion then took place.
DEWOLF: Move approval, with the group to work through the Community
Development and Road Departments.
DALY: Second.

A discussion then took place regarding proposed signage coming into the
County that says, "We honor veterans". Commissioner DeWolf requested that
the Commissioners meet with Mr. Fairclo in the near future to learn the
veterans' group's overall plans. He also said that clarification may be needed
regarding the renaming process, and he would like Legal Counsel and
Community Development to provide advice on this issue.
2. Discussion regarding Portland State University Classes.
Anna Johnson advised that the contract with PSU regarding "Supervision in the
Public Sector" classes is expiring, and asked if the Board wants to renew it.
Commissioner DeWolf said that feedback from employees has been good,
although some people did not complete the classes.
DEWOLF: Move approval of renewing the contract.

3. Discussion of Requests for Public Information.
After a brief discussion, it was decided that a standard form for requests for

meeting.

Mark Pilliod explained that the County has been unable to collect on a tax lien
of approximately $150,000 against Luzon Securities. However, it has been
discovered that they have assets, and Mr. Pilliod asked for the Board to
authorize him to retain outside counsel to pursue it.
