BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
January 10, 1979 - DAILY MINUTES
Chairman Shepard opened the meeting at 10:00 a.m. with all Commissioners present.
First item on the agenda was the signing of the letter to Don Shaffer of the State
Bicycle Path Committee. Commissioner Paulson made a motion to sign the letter;
Commissioner Young seconded it; Chairman Shepard voted aye, Commissioner Young voted
aye, and Commissioner Paulson voted aye.
Next item on the agenda was the signing of Plat #448. Commissioner Young made a motion
to sign Plat #448-Ladera. Chairman Shepard seconded it. Commissioner Young voted aye,
Commissioner Paulson voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye.
Paul Withrow was next on the agenda with an update of the Misdeamor Program from District
10. He asked the Commissioners just how much the County was committed to this program,
and Commissioner Young asked just how much this program would need for a fiscal year.
Paul answered $6,000 per quarter. Commissioner Paulson asked how much had been spent
this fiscal year and was answered that $6,400 had been spent. Paul said that the
program would run approximately $25,000.00 for the year and he would know about State
money by April or May. The Commissioners asked him to prepare a budget total from
July 1, 1979 to June 30, 1980 so they could have something concrete to work with.
Next on the agenda was a discussion with Eugene Venn concerning matters of policy.
He presented the Commissioners with copies of a previously-submitted memo and resume'
concerning the authority or permission given the Hearings Officer. He felt that he
should be able to ask the Planning Department for all pertinent data. Commissioner
Young said that his memo had two words with different context - there has been no time
that the Hearings Officer could not get pertinent data, just not opinions. It is not
the Planning Department's job to recommend to the Hearings Officer. Should the decision
prove to be a bad one and later reversed then the people involved can say, "I took his
recommendations." Commissioner Paulson said he felt there was a strong need for the
Hearings Officer to get information from the Planning Department, and within the constraints
of staff, anything that is needed should be furnished. This does not mean that any decision
or recommendations will be made. Commissioner Paulson made a motion that the Hearings
Officer, Planning Commission, and/or Board of Commissioners may request an opinion with
supporting data from the Planning Department on all land-use matters being brought before
them. Commissioner Young seconded it. Chairman Shepard voted aye, Commissioner Young
voted aye, and Commissioner Paulson voted aye. This is to be implemented by County
Counsel.
Going on to the next item, Chairman Shepard said there was some discussion on the
Bend Regional Sewage Plan - Phase I and Phase II. Eugene Venn said that the role of
the Hearings Officer is to interpret this with County concern. Commissioner Young
said that the County does have an agreement with the City, which is a cooperation
agreement. The problems he has run into is subdividers came to him and said they had
been told by the City they had specific things to do and even DEQ and LCDC would stop
them. Commissioner Paulson made a motion that the Planning Department shall consider
all potential swere'issues in their staff report on land use decisions that pertain
to areas within the Bend Urban Growth Boundary, and the Planning Commission, Hearings
Officer, and County Commissioners shall consider all potential sewer issues in their
decision-making processes. The consideration should address, and be consistent with,
the Bend Urban Growth Boundary Management Agreement. He then withdrew the motion, but
a memorandum was drawn up to this effect to be signed by the Commissioners.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:50 a.m., to be reconvened after lunch.

The meeting was reconvened by Chairman Shepard at 2:00 p.m. At this time the lists
of Specialty Areas was brought up by Commissioner Paulson, and he stated that he
favored list A and would like to have #II on the list. Commissioner Young said that
he would take #I on list A since he was already into many of these areas. Chairman
Shepard said he would take #III, but he wanted it firmly noted that he wished to be
in on many of these other items and didn't want to be exclusively held to only his
particular areas. The other two commissioners concurred on this. Commissioner Young
then made a motion to give Draft Proposal A a one-month trial and re-evaluate it in
one month. Commissioner Paulson seconded it. Commissioner Young voted aye, Commissioner
Paulson voted aye, and Chairman Shepard abstained.
Next was a Forest Fire Protection Agreement, and it was explained by Lucy that we
pay fire protection on County-owned grazing land. When we do that we charge the person
leasing the land, and we need to get Helen Rastovich to raise the amount on the leases.
Commissioner Young made a motion to increase the fire protection assessment on all our
leases to 29 cents to conform with the charges that we are charged by the Department of
Forestry. Commissioner Paulson seconded it. Chairman Shepard voted aye, Commissioner
Young voted aye, and Commissioner Paulson voted aye.
Next on the agenda were two letters from Lazy River Special Rd. Dist. and Special Rd.
District #1, requesting a share of the Forest Receipts. Commissioner Young explained
that if we deplete our Forest Receipts then we would be faced with levying a tax, and
we do not want that. His suggestion was to wait and see what happens in the legislature
before going to the budget board with these requests. Chairman Shepard and Commissioner
Paulson agreed with this, and Chairman Shepard said he would write letters to these
road districts saying that we would consider them at budget time.
Next Bill Monroe, Planning Director, presented a turn-around document on Dick Knoll and
asked that he be upgraded from Assistant Planner to Associate Planner, effective
January 1, 1979, since he had proved to be quite capable of handling this position.
Commissioner Paulson made a motion to promote Dick Knoll to Associate Planner, and
Commissioner Young seconded it. Chairman Shepard voted aye, Commissioner Young voted
aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye.
Bill Monroe also asked that the Commissioners help him get new plat maps from the
Assessor's Office as he had asked numerous- times, and he has been told they are so
busy they don't have time. Chairman Shepard said they would look into this matter.
Bill also asked for $4,000 for a computer terminal into the Planning Office. He said
they could then key things in to be connected to the Assessor's and save them time. The
Commissioners asked him to get a cost, including installation and present it to the
Commissioners in writing.
Paul Speck, Attorney, told the Commissioners that the City of Redmond plans to appeal
the Remington Arms. Mobile Development based on design, sewers, and water. They are
mostly concerned with layout of streets, and he wanted the Commissioners to be aware
of this matter.
There being no further business this day, meeting was adjourned at 3:05 p.m.
