MEMORANDUM
TO:
BOARD OF COUN'T'Y COMMISSIONERS
FROM:
GEORGE KOLB, COUNTY ENGINEER
SUBJECT:
ABANDONMENT OF WHITTIER AND WOLF LID
DATE:
1/5/2007
BACKGROUND
On August 30, 2006, the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), through Resolution
2006-112, initiated proceedings for the Whittier and Wolf Local Improvement District (LID)
and ordered the Road Department to complete a feasibility report concerning this LID. The
feasibility study completed by the Road Department found that this project was possible and
referred the findings to the property owners for a mail poll.
MAIL POLL RESULTS
Returned ballots for the mail poll were required to be post marked by no later than December
7, 2006. The results of the mail poll are as follows:
YES 73 votes 48 % (by County Code, 60% must vote yes)
NO 21 votes 14%
Did not vote 58 votes 38%
Deschutes County Code 912.48.166(B) states that, "to be eligible for further consideration by
the Board, a proposed improvement must receive, by the postmark deadline, a minimum poll
approval rate of at least 60 percent of the owners of land representing at least 60 percent of
the total amount of the estimated assessment for the proposed local improvement."
RECOMMENDATION
Since the approval rating was less than 60 percent by the property owners, the Road
Department recommends that the BOCC adopt an Order to abandon the Whittier and Wolf
LID. If the BOCC decides to abandon this LID, State statute prevents another Local
Improvement District petition from being filed for a period of one year. The Board of County
Commissioners have also declared a moratorium on LID's per Resolution 2006-049 which means that
no new LID's will be allowed until the moratorium is removed.
