Daly and Dennis R. Luke. Also present were Mike Maier, County Administrator; and Judith Ure, Susan Ross, David Givans and Anna Johnson, Commissioners' Office. No media representatives or other citizens were present. The meeting began at 1: 30 p. m. 1. Communications Update. Anna Johnson advised that the cost of having professional photographs taken of County buildings is approximately $2,000. Department "report cards" for the Juvenile Community Justice, Commission on Children & Families, Parole & Probation, Health and Mental Health departments are being discussed. A total of $12,000 was budgeted for this work but the cost will be closer to $20,000 in order to include inserts in other publications. Commissioner DeWolf asked Ms. Johnson to set up a meeting with the affected department heads in early August to discuss options, and to report back to the Board with suggestions. 2. Discussion regarding La Pine Senior Center. Susan Ross stated that value engineering has been completed, resulting in a $50,000 reduction in the cost. $300,000 worth of value engineering had been done earlier. Landscaping has been deleted and it is hoped this can be completed through sponsorships; and interior lighting and appliances have been changed. Minutes of Administrative Liaison Monday, July 11, 2005 Page 1 of 3 Pages There is still a $100,000 shortage, with a $50,000 contingency fund balance. Grants are being pursued for the needed amount, but it is unknown if these efforts will result in obtaining more funding. The County could commit to cover the $100,000 if grant funds can't be found. The Commissioners then discussed how to handle this shortage. It was pointed out that Redmond received the Rosie Baries Center, based on donated land and $100,000 towards expenses. Mike Maier suggested that any change orders over $100 be submitted to him for review. LUKE: Move that the County back the La Pine Senior Center building fund by $100,000, with the caveat that efforts be made to seek grant funds. DALY: A reluctant second. VOTE: LUKE: Yes. DALY: Yes. DEWOLF: Chair votes yes. After further discussion, it was determined that in fairness the Bend Senior Center loan should be forgiven as well, since efforts to secure funds through grant writing and other fundraising have not been as successful as hoped. LUKE: Move that the Bend Senior Center loan be forgiven. DALY: Second. VOTE: LUKE: Yes. DALY: Yes. DEWOLF: Chair votes yes. 3. Discussion of Other Projects. Ms. Ross advised that the District Attorney's Office move is scheduled in phases as the work on the Courthouse continues. At this point the project is on budget. Work on the La Pine South County project and the La Pine Senior Center project will begin soon. ADA work is beginning. Mike Maier advised Ms. Ross to meet with Legal Counsel to more carefully define the scope of the work that consultant Bob Pike is to address. Minutes of Administrative Liaison Monday, July 11, 2005 Page 2 of 3 Pages Ms. Ross said that magnetic door holders have been installed in upstairs meeting rooms. The downstairs work will be more expensive since the doors will have to be swapped out or perhaps even moved to accommodate the holders. 4. Discussion of "Paperless" Meetings. The Commissioners asked if there is a way to make fewer copies of agenda information to be included in their agenda packets. They suggested that input from other counties be obtained on how they handle agenda packets. This information will be provided to the Board by the July 26 Administrative Liaison. 5. Other Items. None were offered. Being no further items addressed, the meeting adjourned at 2:45 p.m. DATED this l lth Day of July 2005 for the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners.
