Chairman Montgomery opened the meeting at 10:00 a.m. First business was bid openings
on a Landfill Compactor. Dave Hoerning opened and read the bids: Pape'Bros., Model
#816, total bid $81,596.00; 5,000 mile or five year service, $15,791.00 and repurchase
price of $58,748.00 making the total bid of $38,748.00. Pape' was the only bid
offered and after extensions are checked the bid will be awarded.
Chairman Montgomery opened the continued hearing on the vacation of a portion of 17th
Street in Terrebonne. Arthur Kelley and Jan Paull spoke in favor of the vacation
and Debbie Shuffield spoke in opposition to it. Commissioner Grubb said they had been
to view the vacation and showed its location on a map. Chairman Montgomery questioned
if this street was not vacated should'nt buildings on the right of way be taken down?
Louis Selken explained that the owners of the buildings could never claim adverse
possession because its public land. Dave Hoerning said the need to develop this road
does not exist. Chairman Montgomery read the order. Commissioner Grubb moved that the
vacation of 17th Street as petitioned be vacated. Commissioner Young seconded the motion.
Vote was unanimous.
Scheduled next was the public hearing on changing the name of Neff Road to Penn Ave.
This matter was brought up because the City of Bend had asked the County to consider
renaming Neff Road as an extension of Penn Avenue. All homeowners and property owners
on Neff Road were notified. Chairman Montgomery asked for testimony in favor of this
name change. There was none. Opposition: Mrs. Mathewson was against the name change.
Mrs. Neil speaking for Sister Katheryn and herself said she thought the daytime meeting
was unfair because many homeowners were unable to attend a day hearing. Mrs. Neil
presented a petition signed by owners who could not be present. They all objected to
changing the street name because they are rural and want the rural address. They also
object to changing all correspondence. Sister Katheryn wants a year or two time
element to give everyone a chance to make necessary changes. She also would like a
medical name if Neff Road name is changed. Property owners in general objected to
making Neff Road a main route to the hospital. Larry Thompson, Reed Nelson spoke in
opposition to the name change. Mrs. Dual objected to the name of Penn Avenue. Mrs.
Neil complained that notices were sent to residences not residents. Gary DeBernardi
said this was done so if all changes where not recorded in the Assessors office, the

Don Grubb opened discussion on the proposed new road department office and shops on
Arnold Market Road. The Commission received a letter from the Road Advisory Board
recommending the county start on the plans for the new buildings. The county has
already received a permit to build in this area. Chairman Montgomery asked where the
money was coming from for this project. Don Grubb said there was money in the Road
Department Building fund and also they planned on using money from the possible sale
of the present property the road shop buildings are on. Commissioner Young favors
proceeding with this project. He feels shops should be moved because of the safety
hazard and traffic congestion operating from the present location. Commissioner Grubb
moved the county proceed with their plans to construct the road departmeng shops on
Arnold Market Road and that the county crews are authorized to perform a portion of
the site grading work prior to the letting of the construction contract. Commissioner

September 19 saying they had offered Sunriver $6,000,000 for the property in Sunriver

the appraisals and report to the Commission. There are three appraisals and they
vary from 2 to 12 million dollars difference on each one. Commissioner Grubb feels
the county should hold a public hearing before the Commission makes their decision
to approve or disapprove the land sale. Chairman Montgomery and Commissioner Young
