and that the petition was filed by 100% ownership of property within the boundaries
for the district. Abe Young moved they set the hearing on the proposed formation

Next matter brought up was the Commission support of Pacific Gas Transmission Company's
intent to construct a new parallel pipeline on its existing right or ways in Deschutes
County for carrying gas from Alaska and Canada for consumers in the Northwest. An

Commissioner Young moved they set June 28, 1977 as the election for a Board of Directors
for the newly formed Tumalo Domestic Water Supply District. Commissioner Grubb seconded
the motion with a unanimous vote of the Commission.
Discussion on Section 8 of the Existing Housing Program was next. Commissioner Grubb
opened the discussion by explaining this program is designed to provide rental as-
sistance to low income and set income people using existing rentals rather than
providing new rentals. Those interested in this program would have to be certified
to become eligible for the relief. They are trying to form a tri-county district
made up of Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson Counties. At the present time Jefferson
and Crook have expressed little or no interest in the program. Deschutes County
will pursue this matter without the other counties if necessary. If formed the
district will have a nine member board. Chairman Montgomery read a letter from the
League of Women Voters asking the county to support this program. All three County
Commissionerssupport this project. Don Grubb moved they adopt a resolution support-
ing Section 8 - Existing Housing Program. Abe Young seconded the motion with a
unanimous vote of the Commission.
Next item up was a progress report on the new Justice Building. Don Grubb explained
that the excavation was finished two weeks ahead of schedule. Bids will be let May
18, 1977 for the general construction part of the building.
At this time the Commission announced the resignation of Jim Henson as Director of the
Mental Health Department. Jim is staying in the area, but he will be going into
private practice. The Commission thanked Jim for his almost four years of service
to Deschutes County. At the present time a Committee from the Mental Health Advisory
Board is screening applicants for Jim's replacement which they plan on filling by
June 1, 1977.
The Planning Department had one zone change request on the agenda, it was by Robert
Mitchell from R-1, Urban Residential, Single Family to R-2, Multi Family for property
in T18S, R12E, Section 8C, tax lot 900 south of Blakely and Hwy. 97. This request
is for construction of more duplexes in this area. This request has the unanimous
approval of the Planning Commission who held a public hearing on this matter April 13,
1977. Commissioner Young moved they approve the zone change for Robert E. Mitchell.
Don Grubb seconded the motion with the unanimous vote of the Commission.
Under open discussion, Jim Traughber, representing the Bend City Council, requested
the Commissioners to reconsider their position of the cities maintaining county roads
in city limits before distribution of forest receipt monies. He asked if they would
be willing to sit in on another meeting to discuss this matter. The Commission agreed,
only if the cities of Redmond and Sisters were included. It was brought up that the
City of Redmond had the most mileage of county roads within their city limits (11.5
miles) and they had voiced no objection to accepting these roads for maintenance.

Commissioner Grubb brought out the matter of the abuse of usage of dirt bikes in the
Tumalo area. The Commission has received written complaints about this. They turned
this problem over to the Sheriff for further review. Linda Brooks from Tumalo said
that very young people have been riding in their area without helmets. The noise and
dirt are a nuisance.
Commissioner Young reminded the audience of the planning appeal hearing at 1:30 p.m.
in the Annex, Room "A" concerning subdivision development in the area between Sunriver
and LaPine.
There being no further business or discussion, meeting was recessed at 10:45 a.m.
