Minutes of Administrative Liaison Tuesday, January 18, 2005 Page I of 5 Pages 2. Communications Update. Anna Johnson advised the Board that she is working on the final draft of the next Citizen Update newspaper insert. Mike Maier told the Board that Ms. Johnson will be listing items on a proposed budget, since some costs of various projects can now be estimated. The County usually has the budget on line, but this year it will also be available on compact disk. The Board asked that budget information be compartmentalized, perhaps by department, to make it easier to locate specific information. Tom Comilliac of I.T. will be asked to attend a future Administrative Liaison to discuss this possibility. Commissioner Luke advised that Redmond Greenhouse had not yet been paid by the White House for landscaping they provided at the President's visit to the area a couple of years ago. He said the County could go ahead and pay the expense, but he is working with White House staff to get the invoice paid. 3. Discussion regarding Purchase of Cab & Chassis Tractor Trucks. Tom Blust provided an overview of the request for approval of the purchase of these vehicles. He said Risk Management and Legal Counsel had already reviewed the information. The plan is to replace 1970 vintage vehicles that are well past their useful lives. These old vehicles will be sold via e -Bay if possible. The purchase of these vehicles has already been budgeted. DALY: Move approval. LUKE: Second. VOTE: DALY: Yes. LUKE: Yes. DEWOLF: Chair votes yes. The Board asked Anna Johnson to work with Information Technology staff to develop a way to place other County surplus property on the same site. Departments will still be required to have the Board declare items surplus, per County policy. Minutes of Administrative Liaison Tuesday, January 18, 2005 Page 2 of 5 Pages 4. Project Update. Since Ms. Ross was attending a conference, no update was given. 5. Discussion regarding Setting a Public Hearing regarding the Proposed Badlands Wilderness Designation. Commissioners Daly and DeWolf stated that they feel there is an obligation on their part to hold a public hearing on this issue in order to decide whether to express an official Board opinion or remain neutral. Commissioner Luke said that he agrees with them only if the Board will take a firm stand one way or another. It was decided that an evening hearing date will be set and a press release will be widely distributed. Interested parties will be asked to submit their opinions and ideas in writing if possible or, if they testify at the hearing, they will be encouraged to speak for just a few minutes if there are a lot of people who also wish to testify. Joe Studer and Anna Johnson will work on a list of interested parties that should receive the announcement.

LIJ Road Department MEMO To: Tom Blust, Road Department Director From: Dennis Morris, Support Services Manager Re: Purchase of Cab & Chassis Tractor Trucks Tom, M, SIX49INKI "I 61150 S.E. 27th St., Bend, OR 97702 (541) 388-6581 - FAX (541) 388-2719 We currently have $240,000 budgeted to purchase three replacement Truck Tractors, these are for hauling our belly dump and lowboy trailers. I developed my specifications based upon staff input, pre -qualifying an International 7600 series truck. Benton County recently purchased a Cab/Chassis from Brattain International and has authorized other Government agencies to piggyback on their bid. (See attached) My specifications call for minor adjustments to their bid such as axle configurations and PTO locations, etc. I also asked for an optional bid on a tag axle, (to increase GVW rating) to be installed on one of the tractors. The costs are: Budgeted amount: $80,000.00 each x 3 trucks = $240,000.00 Purchase amount: $79,496.00 each x 3 trucks = $238,488.00 Tag Axle option $ 6,100.00 = $ 6,100.00 TOTAL $244,588.00 We are currently $19,000.00 under budget in our 330 fund for replacement equipment, mostly due to savings on our purchase of three new snowplows. The overage of $4,588.00 for the purchase of the three trucks and tag axle will not be a budget issue. I have reviewed this with Mark Pilliod from County Counsel and he has approved piggy -backing on Benton County's bid proposal. Pursuant to ORS 279.015 (Competitive Bidding Exemptions) Section (1) (g) this purchase does not require competitive bidding. REQUESTED ACTION: I am requesting that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the purchase of this equipment utilizing Benton County's bid award to Brattain International in the amount of $244,588.00.
