whether it would be appropriate to insert an example of what "investigational"

7. Project Update.
In regard to the Crisis Resolution Center, Susan Ross said that the surveyor
error required additional fill and a change to the plans. CORHA (Central
Oregon Regional Housing Authority) will cover the cost of engineering the fill.
This amount will go back into the CRC contingency fund for the project.
8. Other Items.
Mike Maier asked how the Board would like oversight of the Forestry
Specialist position handled, since Joe Studer reports to Mr. Maier but is
working out of the Road Department.
It was agreed that an advisory group consisting of Tom Blust (Road
Department), Catherine Morrow (Community Development), the Sheriff, Don
Weber (Emergency Services) and one Commissioner meet with the Board
monthly in this regard. This meeting can be added to the end of the regular
Road Department meeting.
Being no further items addressed, the meeting adjourned at 2:35 p.m.
