LUKE: Second.
VOTE: DALY: Yes.
CLARNO: Aye.
LUKE: Chair votes yes.
The Measure 37 disclosure statement was offered to all attendees.
3. Before the Board was a Hearing (continued from October 30) and
Consideration of Signature of Order No. 2006-150, a Measure 37 Claim
(Claimant: Hanson).
Tom Anderson stated that the property is on 3rd Street, between Bend and
Redmond, west of Young Avenue. The claimants wish to subdivide the
property into residential lots, with the smallest being five acres. They are
claiming damages of $1 million. The first document regarding ownership
appears in a contract dated March 1, 1976. They agreed to a lease with the
parents earlier than that, in 1974, and took occupancy. For purposes of review,
the date would be Mach 1, 1976.
Commissioner Luke asked if there have been any decisions at the State level
regarding lease agreements. Mr. Pilliod replied that the Board has never
addressed this situation directly; the only case of which he is aware is Leeson.
They had conveyed to a corporation and continued to reside on the property; it's
unknown if there was a lease arrangement in place, but the property was under
their control. County laws between 1974 and 1976 hadn't changed. This may
make a difference to the State, as planning goals had been adopted but not yet
implemented. It is irrelevant for County purposes.
Commissioner Luke disclosed that he has known the Hansons for a long time.
He asked for any testimony in favor of the claim.
Ed Fitch, an attorney representing the Hansons, said they have no objection to
the Order per se, since County regulations remained unchanged between 1974
and 1976. However, they do feel the real acquisition date is 1974.
In regard to testimony against the claim, Mark Pilliod said he received a letter
from Ms. Hardy of Central Oregon Land Watch, which was distributed to the
Board and to Community Development, and is now a part of the record. Mr.
Pilliod did not know if she is within the notification area for the property.

CLARNO: Move approval.
DALY: Second.
VOTE: DALY: Yes.
CLARNO: Aye.
LUKE: Chair votes yes.
4. Before the Board was a Hearing and Consideration of Signature of Order
No. 2006-168, a Measure 37 Claim (Claimant: Leep).
Tom Anderson stated that Karen Leep filed the claim regarding property
located off SW McVey Avenue. It is two parcels between Bend and Redmond
near Quarry Road, located on both sides of the Deschutes River. The parcels
are 1.76 acres and 3 acres, zoned EFU. The claimant wishes to replace an
existing residence that was constructed in 1974, in the same location. Since
then, rules had been adopted by the County regarding rimrock and height
regulations. The waiver would go back to the date of acquisition of April 7,
1983. Some rimrock rules were adopted between 1983 and 1986. The Order
would place the review date on April 7, 1983.
Bruce White, attorney for the claimant, said he supports the proposed Order.
He asked if any comments in writing had been received. Tom Anderson
confirmed that nothing had come in.
Commissioner Daly disclosed that he knows Ron Leep personally.
There was no other testimony.
CLARNO: Move approval.
DALY: Second.
VOTE: DALY: Yes.
CLARNO: Aye.
LUKE: Chair votes yes.
5. Before the Board was a Hearing and Consideration of Signature of Order
No. 2006-170, a Measure 37 Claim (Claimant: Reames).
Tom Anderson explained that the applicant is John Reames, and the property is
located at 26776 Alfalfa Market Road, west of Alfalfa and east of Dodds Road,
and consists of two parcels totally 39 acres, zoned EFU.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, December 4, 2006
Page 3 of 16 Pages
The claimant wishes to place a farm dwelling or a residence on the property.
The claim for damages is $492,000. The property was acquired in February
1986; at that time it consisted of 120 acres. In 1990 it was divided into three
parcels. Rules regarding farm dwellings changed in the early 1990's. He
would like to file an application for a farm dwelling based on the rules in effect
in 1986.
Bruce White, attorney for the claimant, said that they support the proposed
Order, and asked if any written testimony had been received.
Tom Anderson said that the previous Friday they received a letter from Central
Oregon Land Watch; this is the same letter they have received regarding other
Measure 37 claims. Nothing specific to this property was noted; it simply
argues against the County's ability to rule on Measure 37 claims.
Mr. White asked to continue the hearing so he would have a chance to read the
letter. The hearing was continued to Monday, December 11, 2006.
6. Before the Board was a Hearing and Consideration of Signature of Order
No. 2006-169, a Measure 37 Claim (Claimant: Huttenhoff).
Tom Anderson said the claimant has requested the hearing be delayed to
January. The 180-day clock has been tolled if needed.
7. Before the Board was a Hearing and Consideration of Signature of Order
No. 2006-069, to Consider Additional Information and to Correct
References regarding a Measure 37 Waiver (Applicant: Central Electric
Cooperative).
Commissioner Luke said that he has been approached by Legal staff regarding
marking exhibits during hearings. Mark Pilliod said that there can be
difficulties sometimes created regarding documents during land use
applications. Today exhibits will be specifically identified as they are received.
No oral testimony will be taken, but there could be written testimony.
The Board received quite a number of documents earlier in the day and
previously. This issue was first considered in August 2005. At that time there
was a Measure 37 claim submitted by Central Electric Cooperative, Inc., and
there were documents and arguments presented by Trail Crossing Trust and by
Keith and Connie Cyrus.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, December 4, 2006
Page 4 of 16 Pages
Following the Board's decision, the Trust and the Cyrus' appealed that decision
to the Circuit Court. The Court held a hearing and received arguments, and
rendered a decision. That decision, in summary, rejected the arguments
presented and approved the Board's Order to the extent that it could.
Unfortunately, the Board's Order failed to include the necessary legal
description of the various easement properties that were the subject of the
Measure 37 claim. The Court remanded, or suggested that the Board should
undertake additional proceedings to add a description of the properties
involved.
The Board previously had adopted an Order which simply included all of the
properties that were affected by the CEC easements. Some of those easements
were dated 1962, while others were dated more recently, 2001. That decision
was likewise appealed to the Circuit Court, and those proceedings have been
placed in abeyance; they are sort of pending and nothing has happened yet.
After the Board made its follow-up decision, the Circuit Court announced and
rendered its decision, and the decision invited the County to examine, again, the
descriptions of the properties that were affected by these easements. My staff
and the County Surveyor have done so. Through that examination it was
determined that certain historical documentation that might have provided a
little better background to the particular easements that CEC acquired, or the
rights that they acquired in order to build their power line, had not been
previously submitted into the record.
So, part of the proceedings this morning is the County, having assembled this
additional information - mind you, information that was not previously
submitted to the Board - would be received this morning, and that anyone
interested, in particular the Trail Crossing group and the Cyrus', would have an
opportunity to comment on the new material being submitted.
LUKE:
Comment in writing?
PILLIOD:
Correct. Today was the deadline for the Board to officially reopen the record
on this limited issue. The County has received certain documentation from the
parties that I will describe.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, December 4, 2006
Page 5 of 16 Pages
First, I have a letter dated November 30, from Donald Joe Willis of Schwab
Williams and Wyatt Law Firm. This was received last Thursday, and contains
both a letter and a number of documents, easements that had previously had
been received by this Board as part of its original proceedings. In addition,
there are historical letters that describe the circumstances under which CEC
obtained easements in 2001.
I also received and I think additional copies were submitted of a letter from
Michael Peterkin and Associates, dated December 1, 2006. The letter includes
a number of attached exhibits. These likewise refer to the proceedings in
Circuit Court and the circumstances under which CEC obtained its easements to
the property that we have been dealing with.
This morning I received another letter from Brian Kickman? Of Peterkin and
Associates that refers to the circumstances under which a particular easement
was obtained from the Carters. This includes some documentation and an
affidavit.
I also received a letter from Frances Hanson and Martin dated December 1,
2006. It is from Martin Hanson, and it responds to the material that I previously
described.
LUKE:
I believe you just received one more.
PILLIOD:
Yes. This is a letter from Kay Knott, dated Sunday. Ms. Knott writes in
opposition of the reconstructed CEC power lines. I think she is inviting the
cooperative to undertake acquisition of necessary property through
condemnation.
These are the materials that have been submitted. As I say, they address an
issue that was presented to the Board in August 2005; that is, that the 2001
easements have the effect of releasing or quit claiming the rights that were
contained in certain easements obtain in 1962. The Judge has not instructed
that the Board has to revisit this issue. The only issue that the Judge's decision
places before this Board is the adequacy of the description in connection with
the CEC Measure 37 waiver that was issued.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, December 4, 2006
Page 6 of 16 Pages
And I should add - and I think part of the reason for scheduling this matter for
today or this month is we obviously are looking at a change in the membership
of the Board, and since Commissioner Clarno is more familiar with the record
than any new Commissioner, it just seems that if necessary it would be more
fair if she have the opportunity to participate than for a new Commissioner to
become familiar with the record.
LUKE:
For the record, Commissioner Clarno has stated more than once that he husband
sits on CEC's Board, and she would just as soon not vote unless we have a tie
vote.
For clarification, on the Kay Knott letter, it was Keith Cyrus who handed it to
Tom Anderson, just for the record.
DALY:
I have a question for Mr. Pilliod. Most of this new documentation we received
from the parties has alleged fraud and misrepresentation by CEC. It even says
they lied. I know I had a discussion this morning about this, and don't know if
we should even get into that issue.
I do have one question, however. The documents that have been presented to
us by Schwabe Williamson and Wyatt, Joe Willis I believe, show power line
easements and all of the highlighted part in the power line easement has to do
with this power line easement by quitclaims and releases all interest arising out
of that certain right of way easement. My question is, when I took real estate
101 years ago, it was always drummed into my head that interest in property
can only be transferred with a deed. I don't see a quitclaim deed, a separate
document. Is that quitclaim deed considered as included in this easement? Or
is there a separate deed out there somewhere.
PILLIOD:
There is no deed, quitclaim or otherwise per se. The language you are referring
to is the language that would ordinarily operate in context or in the form of a
quitclaim deed. In other words, the language is very similar to language that
would be contained in a quitclaim deed, but there is no other documentation
than what you have.
DALY:
So, what you are saying is that this document here actually - they've got a new
easement, and quitclaimed the old easement, and it is all in one document and
all recorded at the exact same time.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, December 4, 2006
Page 7 of 16 Pages
PILLIOD:
That's correct. I'm not sure I know which one you are referring to. I'm happy
to pull that out.
DALY:
I'm looking at the Eva Thornburgh one, but they all seem to be identical, as far
as the document itself and the language. The wording about the quitclaim is
highlighted in each one of them. It appears that the parties would like us to
make some kind of a decision on that issue; I don't know. Is that something we
should be doing?
PILLIOD:
Well, I think that the Board has previously received these same documents.
The 2001 easements have been part of the record since a year and a half ago.
The argument was presented to the Board at that time. The Judge has not
instructed the Board to revisit that issue. So the question is, I guess, could you.
I suppose you could, but I'm concerned about creating some bit of confusion in
terms of the decision the Board has already made, if the argument is one that
the Board has already had before it and has addressed. I think Commissioner
DeWolf was on the Board at that time. It's up to you whether you go there, but
realize that the argument was one that you had previously received.
LUKE:
Clearly with the scope of this claim, it isn't going to stop here no matter what
we do. I would imagine one way or another it will be back in court.
PILLIOD:
That may be true, and I don't doubt it, but it is still incumbent upon this Board
to make a decision based on evidence in the record and what it needs to decide,
recognizing that it already has a history of having made a decision in this case.
DALY:
If I might. The documents, at least the allegations, are here that this new
evidence has appeared since that court hearing and was not made available to
the court for a decision. As far as documents that were not produced by Central
Electric Cooperative in a timely manner. So therefore we -
PILLIOD:
I would rather not talk about documents in general. We really need to identify
particularly what it is we are referring to, unless you mean everything that has
been submitted.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, December 4, 2006
Page 8 of 16 Pages
DALY:
Well, I guess my concern is that I want to give all of the parties equal time and
diligence as far as making a decision on this case. The parties have brought up
some other issues that I realize that particular issue was decided, but they have
also cited other reasons we should look it again. I don't care - I mean, it will be
up to the majority of this Board.
PILLIOD:
Now if there is other material from the previous record that you would like staff to
assemble or produce for you to reexamine, I'm certainly happy to do that. I mean,
this is a lot of material coming at you at the l lth hour. If you are concerned that
everyone have an opportunity to present material, if there is some uncertainty
about what the Board previously decided, I would recommend that you continue
the matter; realizing again that you have a limited calendar in December. There is
nothing that mandates this decision even be made this month.
LUKE:
Where are we with the clock, or is there one?
PILLIOD:
There isn't one. In fact, one of the parties requested that the matter be
continued indefinitely so that yet additional information can be presented. I am
not encouraging that, but the Board does not have to reach a decision this
morning or, for that matter, this month. But, again -
LUKE:
Do we have to reach one at all?
PILLIOD:
Well, the Judge has not insisted that the Board conduct further proceedings. It's
my opinion that the decision made by the Board is significantly flawed if it is
confined to the decision that was reached in August. I would recommend that
at a minimum the Board's decision should include the appropriate legal
description -
LUKE:
I thought we did that in a subsequent meeting.
PILLIOD:
Yes, you did. The documentation to support that was only submitted this
morning. That's part of the reason why I'm sort of discounting the first
amendment that the Board adopted this year.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, December 4, 2006
Page 9 of 16 Pages
LUKE:
So, at the minimum, County Counsel would like a better clarification of the
legal descriptions that we did in the second decision.
PILLIOD:
Yes.
LUKE:
Is there anything else that would help strengthen the record from the County's
perspective?
PILLIOD:
No. The Order at a minimum would probably focus on the new material that
the County submitted in terms of background information on the history behind
the easements themselves. I have no objection to the record including the
material that was submitted by the parties in this case. To the extent that the
Board makes a decision and it is appealed, it would be submitted to the court as
part of the County's record.
DALY:
I'm concerned that - and I guess my question would be to you, Mark - if we
should not go any further, taking our prior decision, did those quitclaim deeds
extinguish their rights to that property. And then they have a new date of 2001
when the new easements took effect. I mean, that's the whole crux of
everybody's issue here. Did CEC lose that property right when they
quitclaimed the easement and go the new easements? That's an issue before us
that we apparently already decided on.
LUKE:
If we did open it up on that question, you're going to get one side that comes in
and says "yes", and another side that says "no" with equal vigor, and it's going
to be with County Counsel, and I don't know what they'll say.
DALY:
I agree, Dennis. I think we have that before us now. My question for you,
Mark, is if we do not decide on that issue, we have already decided and let it go,
will the parties have an opportunity to present this argument in court at a later
time.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, December 4, 2006
Page 10 of 16 Pages
PILLIOD:
They can certainly argue that whatever the substance of the Board's decision
was, whether it there was substantial evidence to support it, they can at least
argue if the Board chooses not to reexamine the issue and render a new decision
based on the material presented.
I would think it would be difficult for them to state a whole case around that
failure to do so in Circuit Court. Certainly it is part of the record so they aren't
precluded from making such an argument, but they would have to show that the
Board committed legal error in failing to reexamine or examine this particular
issue with the additional documentation that has been submitted.
CLARNO:
Point of clarification, because I am getting confused. Because I thought the
issue before us today was not what we've just been discussing. It's already
been decided. So what is before us today is a point of whether CEC did in fact
not include the description, whether by error or a mistake.
PILLIOD:
When the Board adopted the original decision, the original Order, the legal
description that had been attached to it did not describe the series of property
interests that comprised their power line, that is the CEC power line. The
transmission line from roughly Eagle Crest to the eastern border of the City of
Sisters. The Judge recognized that and for that reason entered an order that sent
the matter back to the Board. The documentation and the legal description to
support a decision by the Board for the full extent of that line have been
submitted and as of today's proceedings is part of the record.
The Board was given certain documentation regarding 2001 easements that
included the point that Commissioner Daly; it included language that looks a lot
like a quitclaim, releasing an interest that CEC had obtained in 1962. The legal
effect of that release was an issue that was presented and available for the
Board to address and consider when it made its original decision.
Now, additional supportive material has been received this morning, which
Trail Crossing and Cyrus would submit is evidence that CEC intentionally
mislead the Board as to the legal effect of that transaction. - in other words, the
2001 easement and the release of the 1962 easement. That matter has been
previously submitted, albeit not to the same degree as it has been this morning.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, December 4, 2006
Page 11 of 16 Pages
So, I hope I'm getting around to an answer to your question. The Board has
material that it is being asked to describe in a sense by the Court - what is the
description of the property that has been affected - and as part of the reopening,
if you will, of this record, the Board and the County have received considerably
more material having to do with this transaction that the Board has previously
been given to address. So, you have a separate question as to whether you wish
to revisit the nature of that transaction.
One thing that Commissioner Daly said earlier was whether the 2001 easement
by its own language had the effect of releasing the easement that CEC obtained
in 1962. And it certainly would appear that this is the intention behind that
language.
But if I'm not mistaken, one of the comments that Commissioner Luke made at
the time was whether CEC's interest in property for Measure 37 purposes has
been interrupted. Was there ever a point in time when, between 1962 and the
time when the County considered the Measure 37 claim by CEC, when there
was a break or an interruption in an interest in property. And I think that was
the decision that the Board reached back in August, that despite the language
quitclaiming the 1962 easement, that there was no break in the ownership
interest of CEC. I think that is the nature of the decision that was reached a
year and a half ago. So the question then is, do you want to revisit that, based
on the additional information that was received this morning.
Does that answer your question?
CLARNO:
I think pretty much.
LUKE:
I won't ask him another one. It is a very complicated case. Commissioner
Daly, what would you like to do?
DALY:
Well, you know if there was substantial evidence here that our previous
decision was wrong, I would be more than happy to revisit it. However, I feel
that the one document, with no quitclaim deed and no deed recorded at a
separate time or anything, the one document which quitclaims the old interest
and adds the new interest, was recorded at exactly the same time. I think the
ownership interest that CEC had probably did not break, and is probably
seamless.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, December 4, 2006
Page 12 of 16 Pages
So, if we did revisit it, unless there is other substantial evidence to the contrary,
I probably would not change my mind. However, I am extremely upset with
CEC for the way they handled it, going ahead with the construction of the line
before all of these court cases were done. I think that was way beyond what
they should have been doing.
But, you know, that's the decision I would probably make unless there is some
other evidence I don't know about. That one document to me, as far as
Measure 37 is concerned, shows the interest is still there and that they had the
interest since early days, and it wasn't broken by this new document as far as I
can tell.
LUKE:
So, what would you like to do?
DALY:
I think we should probably address the issue before us, and let the other issue
go.
LUKE:
What is it that County Counsel would like for the record? Or do you want to
come back?
PILLIOD:
Maybe the other Commissioners would want to express their views of the
matter.
LUKE:
The only question I had was the accuracy, as you mentioned, of the easements.
You are indicating that we now have information in the record that is a lot more
accurate than it was before. I am more than happy to adopt that for the record.
I'm sure it's going to go other places before a final decision is made.
CLARNO:
I will abstain from making any comments on the record unless I need to vote.
And I would like to state on the record that my husband is on the Board of
CEC.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, December 4, 2006
Page 13 of 16 Pages
PILLIOD:
If the Board is inclined to approach just the issue of the legal description, then I
would submit that the Board adopt a motion to direct staff to prepare an Order
which would have the effect of adopting or, you might say, reaffirming the
decision that was made, with the amendment to include the legal description. I
probably would recommend that it also nullify or perhaps void the first
amendment, because that is sort of just a loose end lingering out there. This
would be the amendment that would encompass the Order with the necessary
legal description.
LUKE:
I don't think the previous Order was wrong; it was just incomplete. Is that your
point?
PILLIOD:
Yes.
LUKE:
Is this something you'd like to do?
DALY:
Yes.
LUKE:
So, we're not adopting an Order; we are just giving staff direction to draft an
Order.
PILLIOD:
I would prepare an Order for the Board's adoption next Monday.
LUKE:
Before we close this out, I would just like to ask if there is anything else anyone
wants to submit in writing, today.
PILLIOD:
It would have to be right now.
LUKE:
What do you have? Michael Peterkin has another piece.

TOM ANDERSON:
Commissioners, I apologize, but I realized that on either Thursday or Friday of
last week I received an e-mail from a couple who lives in the Eagle Crest area.
The e-mail pertained to this decision, and was very brief.
LUKE:
Anything that has been received before 11:00 a.m. today is already in the
record, whether it be electronic or whatever. As long as it is in writing of some
kind.
We did receive one more piece.
PILLIOD:
The item that was suggested is actually a page out of the County Code, and it
doesn't need to be part of the record. If the person wishes they can launch an
argument in any form they want and simply refer to the County Code.
LUKE:
What kind of motion do you want?
PILLIOD:
Just a motion directly staff to prepare an Order.
DALY: I move that we direct staff to prepare an Order as explained earlier.
LUKE: Second.
VOTE: DALY: Yes.
CLARNO: Abstain.
LUKE: Chair votes yes.
Commissioner Luke stated that the record is now closed. The Order will come
back to the Board with a clarification of the one point. He asked if Legal had
anything to add. Mark Pilliod replied he had nothing more at this point.
Commissioners Luke and Daly will not be in the office on Monday, December
11, so the meeting will need to be canceled or conducted via conference call.
