Also present were five member of the Humane Society of Central Oregon Board of Directors. No other representatives of the media or other citizens were present. The meeting began at 1: 30 p. m. 1. Discussion of County Policies. Dave Kanner explained that the risk to the County regarding out of state travel in County vehicles is very small, if reasonable protection is written in the policy. Employees should be able to drive a vehicle into adjacent states. First choice would be a County vehicle, followed by a rental vehicle. The last choice would be use of a personal vehicle. Insurance information on the driver needs to be on file. The Board approved Policy No. IT-1, and rescinded previous policies now covered by the new policy. 2. Discussion of Humane Society of Central Oregon Capital Request. Dave Kanner explained that the agency cremates an average of 500-600 animals per month, and that the crematorium needs upgrading to handle the volume. The HSCO Board has asked for funding in the amount of $10,000 for this purpose.

Laurie Craghead explained how the Ordinance involves the two issues, and needs to be in one place in Code. Commissioner Daly expressed concern about the clause regarding alcoholic beverages, since for instance those attending the FCMA event may want to imbibe. Commissioner Luke indicated he wants the clause to stay; Commissioner Daly wants it removed. There was a lengthy discussion regarding this issue. It was decided the Ordinance might have to be revised in the future, depending upon the groups involved. The Commissioners also wanted forms developed that would be signed off by the Road Department and other departments as needed. Permits will be handled by the County Administrator. The second reading of the Ordinance is scheduled for November 20. 4. Other Items. At this time the Board went into executive session under ORS 192.660(2) (h), litigation. No action was taken. The County's lobbyist, Bill Linden, will be updating the Board on legislative matters via conference call at 11:15 a.m. each Wednesday after the first of the year.

HUMANE SOCIETY OF CENTRAL OREGON November 1, 2006 FROM: Humane Society of Central Oregon (HSCO) TO: Board of County Commissioners County Administrator RE: Funding Request BACKGROUND Approximately twelve years ago the Deschutes County Solid Waste Department built a building and purchased an incinerator for the sole purpose of the disposal of dead animals on property occupied by the Humane Society of Central Oregon. The County supported this purchase because it would no longer have to dispose of dead animal carcasses in the landfill. The deal required the HSCO to operate the crematorium independently and to dispose of dead animals regardless of whether they were brought in by the County or private parties. The only expense Deschutes County bears is for the disposal of DOA and euthanized stray dogs brought to HSCO. That total cost in 2005 was $3,400 for the year. The HSCO provides all the labor and routine maintenance. DISCUSSION The crematorium has operated successfully for the last twelve years. The partnership between the County and the HSCO has proved to be mutually beneficial. However, even though during this time frame the HSCO has provided routine maintenance/repairs to the crematorium, the crematorium is now in need of a major refitting which will require that the interior lining be hammered out and a new lining installed. This new lining will allow the incinerator to burn more effectively as well as last for another decade. REQUEST The HSCO Board of Directors respectfully requests that the Board of Commissioners provide $10,000 that will be used in the refitting of the crematorium. Operating this crematorium has proven to be beneficial to the entire community and the Deschutes County Solid Waste Department. With this refitting, it will continue to be a valuable asset. CONCLUSION It is our understanding that this matter will be presented to the Board of Commissioners in the afternoon on Monday, November 6, 2006. HSCO staff and Board members will be in attendance to answer any questions. uniting our community in the compassionate care of animals 61 170 SE 27th street • send, Oregon 97702-9694 • 341.382.3537 .

This proposal is for completely rebuilding the floor/hearth and Path Dam of your Therm- Tec model G-12-P crematory. The new floor would be partially flat as a result of the firebrick that would be used in the relining. I would anticipate a 4 day schedule and 2 men to complete the job, however your downtime would be 2 additional days - to allow for cool down prior to work, and cure-out after completion. Pricing below also includes miscellaneous "patching" of other areas on the lining, as previously discussed. Labor, total includes on job labor and travel $5930.00. Travel expense, Meals, Lodging $850.00. Materials, brick, refractory, insulation, plastic $3010.00. Total for project ...$9790.00. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this proposal or have any other requirements.
