Chair Tom De Wolf opened the meeting at 10: 00 a. m. 1. CITIZEN INPUT None was offered. 2. Before the Board was a Presentation of the Activities of the RSVP (Retired & Senior Volunteer Program) "On Guard" Community Watch Program. Marie Phillis, Director, and Lawrence Blakeslee, Volunteer Project Manager of RSVP presented information on their situational awareness program, and a silent universal signal program, to help the public deal with suspicious behavior they observe and how to react when there is an emergency. As of today, over 1,000 citizens have been trained in the program. Numerous school-age children have also been trained in a few basic signals in order to communicate silently with adults if the child is being held against his or her will. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, May 25, 2005 Page 1 of 9 Pages Marie Phillis pointed out that it is imperative that law enforcement officials and teachers know the signals so they can understand the child's communication. In addition, this program has given adults the knowledge to identify suspicious situations. Mr. Blakeslee stated that it is important that adults be aware of surroundings and to report any behavior that is suspicious, as it is better to take the extra precaution. Ms. Phillis explained that the more agencies and individuals who are involved, the better it will be for everyone in the area. It is hoped that the program can be completed within three years, bringing in businesses, government agencies, and citizens. The group encouraged anyone who is at least 55 years of age to contact RSVP and volunteer to assist in this endeavor. 3.

Chair DeWolf read the opening statement at this time. There were no declarations from the Board of bias, prejudgment or personal interest, and no challenges from the audience. Pat Kliewer gave a brief overview of the item. Craig Ladkin, the current owner of the property, accompanied her. The findings indicate that it would be appropriate for this property to be included as a historic resource. The Commissioners agreed that this property should qualify for this designation. Chair DeWolf then opened the public hearing; no testimony was offered. Laurie Craghead stated that the first and second readings will need to take place at a later date since the documents are not yet finalized. Chair DeWolf closed the public hearing. The first and second readings will take place in June. 6. Before the Board was a Public Hearing, and Consideration of the First and Second Readings and Adoption, by Emergency, of Ordinance No. 2005- 031, Amendments to County Code relating to the Historical Landmarks Commission Membership and Appointments. Chair DeWolf read the opening statement at this time. There were no declarations of bias, prejudgment or personal interest offered by the Commissioners, and no challenges were received from the audience. Pat Kliewer explained that this ordinance would change the representation on the Landmarks Commission to change some representatives over to the cities instead of the County to better reflect how the population is disbursed throughout the County. The Board appoints the Pioneer Association members and this would not change. The cities have also asked that the applicants appointed need to be the best qualified for the positions they are seeking. She was accompanied by Richard Martinson, who is the current County representative.

There is an error on page 4 of the Administrator's recommendation; the zoning at the time is shown as incorrect, and the sentence will be deleted. Tom Anderson stated that the original information on the application was a desired split into two five-acre pieces; however, Mr. Meland may want to subdivide it further.

The documents also address using zero-lot-line arrangements. The hearing was published in the Bulletin and the property was posted as required. No comments have been received. The Planning Commission supports five to one; the one person wanted to handle each change individually rather than with one blanket change. Chair DeWolf opened the public hearing.

These include agencies that work with COCAAN to receive and distribute food from the Oregon Food Bank. The goal of the Hunger Prevention Coalition is to seek solutions to end hunger in Central Oregon by identifying its root causes, advocating for the hungry, promoting awareness of the issues, and by improving access to food. After almost two years of informal but successful cooperation, the Coalition adopted bylaws and elected a Board of Directors in June, 2002. We obtained an IRS determination letter of 501 [c]3 status in mid-2003. THE COALITION SEEKS SOLUTIONS TO END HUNGER - BY IDENTIFYING THE ROOT CAUSES In 2002, the Hunger Prevention Coalition worked with COCAAN to complete a survey of 1,047 Bend, Redmond, LaPine and Sisters residents who were visiting social service agencies and food distribution centers. We learned that the problem of hunger is real in our Central Oregon communities. Three out of four of these households don't have enough money for food. One of five often cuts the size of their meal or skips meals because there isn't enough money for food - and 13% said they do so on a daily basis. Good nutrition means eating foods from all the food groups. But 17% of households often and 48% sometimes are not able to do this. More than half (56%) of the surveyed households are families with children. In these families, children were spared the worst impact. Nevertheless, 18% reported sometimes cutting the size of children's meals because there wasn't enough money for food, and one quarter of the families said that sometimes the children were hungry but they just couldn't afford more food. The information from this survey has been used in Coalition publicity and fundraising. THE COALITION SEEKS SOLUTIONS TO END HUNGER -BY IMPROVING ACCESS TO FOOD HELP FILL EMPTY PLATES With the assistance of funds provided by the Oregon Community Foundation, one of the major activities of the Coalition has been the inauguration and expansion of the "Help Fill Empty Plates" program, our major fund-raiser. The funds are donations from generous shoppers who use the coupons on the distinctive apple-green "Help Fill Empty Plates" placards at the checkouts of several grocery stores in the region. Every dollar raised by "Empty Plates" is distributed to food provider agencies. The checkout coupons equal one meal (value $2.45), one family meal (value $5), or one food basket (value $10). The coupon is scanned along with other purchased items, and the tax-deductible donation is included in the final bill. The cooperating grocers send a monthly check for the totals raised to the Hunger Prevention Coalition for disbursement. In turn, the Coalition sends monthly checks to the recipient programs. The awards are a specific proportion of the total monies raised and vary monthly according to the amounts received. Proportions are based on the numbers of individuals served by the applicant agency in recent months, need for funds, and assurances that the money will be used to increase the numbers of meals and or enhance the nutritional quality offered. All applicants mention adding either more fresh fruits and vegetables or more high protein foods, or both. The third round of awards in late 2004 went to twelve agencies. The recipient agencies include food pantries such as St. Vincent de Paul pantries in Bend, LaPine, Prineville and Redmond, Seventh Day Adventist Community Service Centers in Bend and Exhibit G Page of 3 P fl Hunger Prevention Coalition of Central Oregon Redmond, the Salvation Army; Holy Trinity Care and Share program in Sun River, food kitchens where meals are served including LaPine Community Kitchen, Bethlehem Inn, and COBRA; and supplements to the Meals on Wheels program in LaPine. Altogether these agencies provide more than 50,000 meals a month through food boxes and meals served to residents of Central Oregon who need assistance in keeping their families properly fed. We also know that there are other food distributors in the region that do not apply for funds. This means that the need is even greater than these awesome figures. This year we increased the number of participating grocery stores which now include the Newport Avenue Market, the Erickson-Sentry Stores in Bend, LaPine, Prineville and Redmond, Food 4 Less in Bend, Pet Express in Bend, the Sunriver Country Store and the Terrebonne Select Market. Since the Help Fill Empty Plates program was initiated less than two years ago, the total amount of money distributed as of April 16, 2005 is $64,202.90. We are continually encouraging more markets to join this program. THANKSGIVING DINNER PROVIDERS A Community Thanksgiving Dinner was sponsored by the Coalition and the Salvation Army. About 300 persons enjoyed the dinner, which received a feature article in the Bulletin. THE COALITION SEEKS SOLUTIONS TO END HUNGER - BY PROMOTING AWARENESS OF THE ISSUE The Coalition used its bimonthly Newsletter to keep members informed about political events that impact the status of those among us who do not have adequate access to enough food.
