RESOLUTION AND ORDER
et 17 PAT 561
The above - entitled matter came on regularly before the Board at its meeting
of November 21, 1973; and
It appearing to the Board that Ch. 244, Or. Laws, 1973 (Enrolled HB 2737)
provided a procedure for the expenditure of county highway and road funds on ded-
icated roads which are not county roads thereby replacing a prohibition which here-
tofore existed on such expenditures by Oregon Law; and
It appearing to the Board that there exists in Deschutes County in excess of
900 miles of county roads; and
It appearing to the Board that funds to maintain such roads have been
seriously curtailed by the insufficiency of funds for road maintenance purposes
at a desirable level; and
It appearing to_ the .Board that the large mileage of roads dedicated and
accepted for public use, but not accepted for county maintenance purposes in
Deschutes County, necessitates the adoption of a policy establishing conditions
for the expenditure of county highway and road funds on non - county dedicated
roads; and
It appearing to the Board that the Director of Public Works has recommended
to this Board such a policy, which the Board desires to adopt at this time, and
the Board being fully advised in the premises; it is, therefore

Laws, 1973 (Enrolled HB 2737) that the following policy be, and hereby is,
