Luke, Michael M. Daly and Bev Clarno. Also present were Dave Kanner, County Administrator; Timm Schimke, Solid Waste Department; Teresa Rozic, Property Specialist; Anna Johnson, Commissioners' Office; Dan Peddycord, Health Department; Mark Pilliod and Laurie Craghead, Legal Counsel; media representatives Barney Lerten of News Channel 21 and Keith Chu of The Bulletin; and four other citizens. Chair Luke opened the meeting at 10:00 a.m. 1. Before the Board was Citizen Input. John Bright, a citizen concerned about weed problems in the area, weed and seed program, ask Board to consider stronger action on prop owners who don't take care of their land. The U.S. Forest Service has written rules for a "weed and seed" program and will implement it next year, but a product is needed to provide sufficient feed for farm animals. He said he only has ten acres. He has neighbors who let their land go, and hold a farm deferral but don't really farm; the allow cattle to graze on their land, which brings in weed seeds. He asked the Board to consider having the owners of farms of 40 acres or less be held responsible for this problem, and notify them and threaten them with the loss of farm deferral. Commissioner Luke stated that farm deferral is regulated under State law. Laurie Craghead confirmed that the regulations of what the County can do regarding farm deferral are found under State statute, and the County has very little control over this issue. iviinuies or -board of commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 6, 2006 Page 1 of 15 Pages Commissioner Luke added that the County is actively involved in a weed program, and perhaps Mr. Bright could speak with the County's weed program manager, Dan Sherwin. The County Assessor collects taxes on behalf of the State. Mr. Bright asked if the County can offer advice to the State on this situation. He said he has to go through the weed certification program when he cuts his crop, through the Department of Agriculture. He would like to see this tied in with what the State does. Commissioner Luke advised that Mr. Bright could contact Representatives Burley and Whisnant, and Senator Westlund. If they are supportive, there's a better chance for this in the legislature. The idea is good; even at wildfire sites there are washing zones to keep down the spread of weeds. He added that the County is also always looking for good members of the Weed Board. Ms. Craghead stated that if a parcel has gone totally to weed, they are not farming and the Assessor should be informed to determine whether the farm deferral is still valid. 3. Before the Board was Consideration of Chair Signature of a Notice of Intent to Award Contract Letter for the Construction of the Knott Landfill North Area Development Project. Timm Schimke advised that the Hearings Officer approved the site plan application. Bids were opened on August 22, two companies submitted bids - Kirby Nagelhout and Hap Taylor and Sons - and Kirby Nagelhout was the lowest bidder. The engineer's estimate was about $500,000 less. There were nine prime contractors that obtained bids, and only these two returned them. They are all busy with projects and had little time to work on bids; this is one reason the bids are as high as they are. He has an appointment later in the day to negotiate the contract price. Commissioner Luke advised him to do the best value engineering he can, but not to cut back where it will eventually cost the County more. Mr. Schimke said that there are reserve funds available, and it is possible to sell more bonds. In the future they may have to look at raising tipping fees, due to this and other factors such as the cost of fuel and labor. This bond alone would not justify instituting a fee increase. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 6, 2006 Page 2 of 15 Pages DALY: Move approval. CLARNO: Second. VOTE: DALY: Yes. CLARNO: Aye. LUKE: Chair votes yes. 4. Before the Board was Consideration of Chair Signature of a Real Estate Purchase Agreement for Lot 20 in Newberry Business Park. Teresa Ro2:ic said the offeror already owns two lots and would like to purchase another. The other two lots will be used for a brew pub and steakhouse. CLARNO: Move approval. DALY: Second. VOTE: DALY: Yes. CLARNO: Aye. LUKE: Chair votes yes. 5. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Document No. 2006- 243, an Intergovernmental Agreement for Space in the Juvenile Community Justice Center that is Leased to the State of Oregon. Ms. Rozic stated that all leases of County properties are being handled by property management at this time. Various renewals have been finalized, and this is the last one to be addressed. This extension will be effective through June 30, 2008. The Citizen Review Board is the tenant. CLARNO: Move approval. DALY: Second. VOTE: DALY: Yes. CLARNO: Aye. LUKE: Chair votes yes. 6. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Document No. 2006-438, an Agreement with Cascade Healthcare Community and St. Charles Medical Center Foundation regarding HealthyStart Program Services. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 6, 2006 Page 3 of 15 Pages Dan Peddycord explained that this agreement will allow continuation of the HealthyStart program. The St. Charles Medical Center Foundation is the chief contributor and operator of the program. The costs are about the same as previously. There were 159 infant deliveries were done last year; and he anticipates this number will go up. The Federal Deficit Reduction Act will kick out some clients who had previously qualified through the Oregon Health Plan. There is some potential for increased numbers under HealthyStart. The hospital participates because this is a worthwhile good community service but also helps with risk deduction. This is a wise investment; Deschutes County has good prenatal birth statistics partly because of this program, which is offered to any woman who income qualifies. Dave Kanner said that he didn't see in the contract where the County reimburses and the contribution from SCMCF. Mr. Peddycord stated that this is handled separately by a budget note, through adoption of a line item in the Health budget. Usually this is instituted at the time the budget is adopted, and it is understood it is a ceiling amount. An addendum to the agreement addressing this specifically can be done. There is already a separate agreement with East Cascade Clinic covering the medical providers. DALY: Move approval. CLARNO: Second. VOTE: DALY: CLARNO LUKE: Yes. Aye. Chair votes yes. 7. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Document No. 2006- 435, an Estoppel Agreement with Societe Generale regarding the Development of the Pronghorn Resort. Laurie Craghead explained that the estoppel and consent agreement is in regard to a bond instead of building improvements. The developers have now sought additional financing; the investors will put in more money but also want access to the performance bonds. Therefore, if improvements are not made, the investors can take their funds out. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 6, 2006 Page 4 of 15 Pages Commissioner Luke stated that the reason for the bond is to guarantee the improvements will go in. Ms. Craghead said that this would work the same as it would for the County, paying off the contractors if necessary. The $7 million cash on account is still being held by the County until the hotel is built. This does not put the County into a secondary position. Mark Pilliod added that this would simply allow recourse for recovery. CLARNO: Move approval. DALY: Second. VOTE: DALY: Yes. CLARNO: Aye. LUKE: Chair votes yes. 8. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Order No. 2006-135, Approving the Home Rule Charter Explanatory Statement for the Voters' Pamphlet for the November 7, 2006 Election. Mark Pilliod gave an overview of the item. He said that the explanatory statement was prepared as recommended by members of the Charter Committee. LUKE: What is the process on the explanatory statement? I think it is a little inaccurate. Do we have to approve it no matter what? PILLIOD: The Board has to approve the explanatory statement. DAVE KANNER: I think the question is, can the Board make changes to the document. PILLIOD: Yes. DALY: The first one I question is the statement that says this is similar to a constitution. Is this the same? That seems pretty broad. LUKE: City charters are in effect constitutions. You can do things under a charter that are different from State law. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 6, 2006 Page 5 of 15 Pages PILLIOD: Within the confines of County government, the voters can establish the structure of County government. This is intended to be a simplified summary, and unbiased regarding the issue. DALY: I'm okay with that word, then. It also says it will eliminate a number of changes. ED FITCH: I'm the Chair of the Charter Committee. It would institute changes in the way government is handled. ANDREA BLUM: (Of the Charter Committee) "A number" sounds like a few, "numerous" makes it sound like a huge amount. PILLIOD: We can eliminate "number of to just "changes". DALY: In the third paragraph, the last sentence says, "these changes will increase representation on the Board of Commissioners by number and by interest". This is a confusing sentence; will representation actually be increased? LUKE: I have a problem with the same line. This assumes that areas not are represented now, and I have a problem with that. We go out of our way to represent everyone in the County. FITCH: The group spent a lot of time on this sentence. One of the principal purposes was to ensure diversification structurally on the Board. Urban and rural are the most prevalent; but two districts are primarily rural. LUKE: Someone from Deschutes River Woods or Sunriver could be elected to the district that includes La Pine. Or someone from Bend could end up representing Sisters. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 6, 2006 Page 6 of 15 Pages FITCH: The population voter base is essentially rural. Now it is essentially urban for all three positions. This would help to assure diversity. It's not a guarantee, but simply a voice at the table. This concerns structure, not people. LUKE: When it says it will increase representation by interest, it sounds like a guarantee. DALY: The last two sentences of the fourth paragraph say that this will not result in any budgetary increase, as the combined salaries are less. This does not take into consideration of office space, PERS benefits, health care and so on. Have you done the math to make sure this statement is correct? PILLIOD: The statement you question does speak to salaries only. If we were to do the math and load up the salaries plus benefits and overhead, obviously it would be more. The statement is meant to be simple and concise. LUKE: The statement says "will not". The budget reflects more than salaries; ask personnel - benefits is 50% or more over salaries. Maybe it won't increase the overall salaries of the Commissioners, but this isn't the whole picture. DALY: A novice reading this would assume that five part-time Commissioners would cost less than the current structure, but this isn't true if you consider the other costs involved. FITCH: We tend to think that this is generally budget neutral, but we don't know what the numbers will be. When you ask if it will cost more money, we are trying to say no. DALY: I think it is very misleading the way it is stated. LUKE: I have a problem with absolutes. Maybe it should say "could result in being budget neutral". Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 6, 2006 Page 7 of 15 Pages DALY: If it is limited to just salaries, yes, but you can't limit it to that. It is still confusing to the public and is not accurate. There is a lot more involved than just salaries. PILLIOD: That's true; overhead expenses should be taken into account. But the charter just deals with the term "salary", not overhead, expenses, travel, and so on. LUKE: It may sound like we are being critical, but after having gone through the legislative process and watching ballot titles go through, sometimes that is all the public reads. It needs to be as accurate as possible. DALY: Maybe add another line that clarifies that salaries are not the only cost consideration. CLARNO: I am troubled with the last sentence as well; voters will assume the cost will be the same. There is no guarantee that it will; PERS and health benefits, travel and so on could increase the budget. It is troubling to leave this in; it needs to sound credible and not be misleading. FITCH: "Budgetary neutral" may be better. CLARNO: Or it could say "should be". DALY: "Hopefully" is better. KANNER: That is the intent of the committee. DALY: I still think it is misleading. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 6, 2006 Page 8 of 15 Pages KANNER: The problem is the actual budget impact is determined by the budget committee, and you cannot predict what they would do. Salaries and benefits are determined by them. The only thing you can discern is the intent of the Charter Committee. DALY: What if you eliminate the sentence? CLARNO: When the Committee discussed salaries, was there any discussion regarding benefits and PERS and what the five would get? FITCH: Yes. It will be up to the Budget Committee and the Commissioners then. We assumed $30,000 for each, a rough equivalent for the current Commissioners, for salaries. It's a small number but a very political one. We want to make it neutral. DALY: I suggest we take the sentence out. CLARNO: What if we can find out what the total cost would be, and word it so it is not misleading. FITCH: It was not our goal to mislead. CLARNO: If it exceeds this amount, then what? PILLIOD: By design, the Committee did not investigate the budget of the Commissioners. This was outside the role of the Committee. They did not address this in any great detail. LUKE: What about taking it out? Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 6, 2006 Page 9 of 15 Pages BLUM: One of the main things people want to know is whether it will cost anything additional. It is intended to be budgetary neutral, but there is no guarantee. Decisions regarding these costs are not in the hands of the Charter Committee. The effect is intended to be budgetary neutral. LUKE: Either go with the changes in language, or leave it out. DALY: Any statement at all implies something. BLUM: The intent is to imply it is budgetary neutral. FITCH: There is no guarantee there will be benefits. CLARNO: I appreciate the work of the Committee, but we know what salaries, health benefits and PERS are; can you say these together won't exceed the total for the three Commissioners? If receiving benefits is in the recommendation, this should be computed in. LUKE: The last sentence is the problem. CLARNO: I agree. DALY: Me, too. CLARNO: If the Charter Committee wants to leave this in, it needs to be remodeled; or it should be deleted. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 6, 2006 Page 10 of 15 Pages FITCH: I am comfortable with the recommendation; it is intended to be budgetary neutral. DALY: That still implies something, and I'm not comfortable with that. LUKE: This was the intent of the Charter Committee, but if we approve it we are also saying it. CLARNO: I am okay with saying "the intent of the Charter Committee is for this to be budgetary neutral". DALY: I still think it implies something that is not accurate. LUKE: Delete the last sentence so there is no guarantee and no mandate. The budget committee can do what it wants. CLARNO: Go back to the third paragraph. It says people now vote for three Commissioners, but will be able to vote for just one with this. This is important. FITCH: We did not consider that. LUKE: There are concerns that people can only vote for one Commissioner. PILLIOD: It emphasizes that people can vote only for one geographic district. Each Commissioner will be elected from a geographic district, rather than Countywide. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 6, 2006 Page I 1 of 15 Pages LUKE: End the sentence with "Commissioners". DALY: This is totally confusing. The whole sentence needs to come out. LUKE: It says it increases representation. DALY: That's a pretty broad statement. LUKE: It may increase interest by rural and urban, but this implies they are not now represented. We do represent rural interests. As a Commissioner elected Countywide, you have to have an interest in all areas. I am offended by this language. FITCH: We struggled with this sentence. I want to point out that this issue of urban/rural has nothing to do with this Board. It has to do with structure and how they are elected. The Bend and Redmond areas dominate the Commission, and rural has very little voice. LUKE: There is no guarantee the way the districts are set up that this will happen. FITCH: It is weighted to ensure a rural voice. LUKE: But it is based on population. In the south district, Sunriver is more politically active than La Pine, and they could have the candidate. There's no guarantee. The Committee did admirable work, but there is a problem with the last few words. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 6, 2006 Page 12 of 15 Pages BLUM: At public hearings, people were asked about the math and the potential for the urban element to still dominate, and whether they felt geographic districts gave the rural better opportunity than now exists, and they said yes. We recognize that someone from Deschutes River Woods or Sunriver could be elected, but they have that choice. The urban residents of Bend and Redmond now make those choices. If we choose not to put up a good candidate, it's our choice. Perception means a lot, but it is not reality. We had to remind ourselves that the intent if to allow for the perception and reality of greater access, and the ability to present candidates from different areas. It doesn't say the existing Commission has failed. The structure allows people to feel they can make a change that is important to them. LUKE: I don't speak just for the current Board; over the years most have tried to balance urban and rural. The Bulletin talked about the City of Bend and City districts instead of at large, but it was difficult to recruit candidates. I still don't like the last few words. DALY: Put a period after Commissioners, I can live with that. I still think it is misleading, though. CLARNO: Regarding budgetary impacts, did you look at the number of days per week, how many hours or what you'll get for $30,000 a year? FITCH: We didn't put in the number of hours specifically. It would probably be characterized as a minimum of half-time, with the understanding that more than half-time may be required. Most people would dedicate enough time to get the work done. LUKE: The changes we want made are not a reflection of the work of the Charter Committee. There are very few changes, only those that we hope will make this issue more clear. Does anyone in the audience care to comment? Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 6, 2006 Page 13 of 15 Pages No one indicated they wished to speak.
