First item on the agenda was John Andersen of the Planning Dept. with a date to set for the Sisters Urban Area Plan. Chairman Shepard made a motion to set the date of April 3rd, 1979, at 7:30 p.m. at the Courthouse Annex, Room A for the Sisters Urban Area Plan. Commissioner Young seconded it. Commissioner Paulson voted aye, Commissioner Young voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye. Next on the agenda was the discussion of the Terrebonne Sanitation Problems. First to speak was Randy McKnight, 8572 15th, Terrebonne, and he turned it over to Dick Nichols of DEQ. Dick outlined a plan the DEQ had come up with. Ten out of 16 lots in this subdivision are failing at the present time , and DEQ is not confident that just replacing the parts will help for a long-range solution. DEQ is now discussing putting in a community sewer. There is a parcel of land 1.6 acres that could be used for this purpose. Commissioner Paulson asked if a bore hole couldn't be used as a temporary solution. Dick said that if there was a commitment to purchase this 1.6 acres, then we could probably do that temporarily. Randy spoke up at that point and said that all the people living in this area are violently opposed to this bore hole as even a temporary solution because people pump their water from this strata. Mr. Ricketts, also of the Hillman Addition, said the people would like a permanent disposal plan and nothing temporary. David Hansen, soil scientist for the County, said he had examined a number of pits and soil in the area of the new drainfield site and felt this would be a better area than where the systems are now. John Glover, Sanitarian, said that there is 18" to 24" of usable soil in this area so there should be no problem. Ed Pyrtiz, 8543 15th St., Terrebonne, said he lived adjacent to the lots in question and explained that a lot of the soil was removed when rocks were taken out in this subdivision. This left damp soil and when soil was brought in to fill, it was also damp which could really make this compact and seal up so the water will not drain off. Ed Morton, 8610 15th, Terrebonne, said he had doubled his system plus 34 feet and it still will not work properly, and he felt that it was not his obligation to pay for fixing it. Louis Dvorak, County Counsel, explained that the people had an option of setting up a sanitary district, which could take a couple of months to do, even if the Board of Commissioner took action to start it. Randy said that he had an estimate of $80,000 for this project. Glen Barnes of the FHA spoke next saying that they had loans available for this type of a project, and he said there were some grants available also. Jack White, Hillman Addition, said that the area is so poor that if there isn't an immediate solution, then some of these houses should be vacated. Linda Aubrey, 8614-15th, Terrebonne, said she would like to know what it entailed to set up a sanitary district and wanted to do whatever she could to stay in her house. John Rex of Rawlins and Rex, Rt. 1, Box 64, Terrebonne, felt that they had done all that was called for when they put in the subdivision and is was approved by the Sanitation Dept. He said if the people were interested in trying to get a grant or loan of some sort, then they would try and work with them. Commissioner Paulson suggested that Randy McKnight and Linda Aubrey and any other interested parties get together with Mr. Barnes, Mr. Rex, and get information as to cost, available funding, and have a meeting with the homeowners to get their feelings. County Counsel can supply the homeowners with regulations _to follow for setting up a sanitary district, and after all this is sorted through and the group decides what to do, then the Commissioners will be available if needed. They agreed to this and will have meetings among themselves to see what solution can be worked out. BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS February 20, 1979 - DAILY MINUTES Page 2 Next on the agenda was Jodie Ward and Nancy Landis of the Art Now group. They explained that the former Commissioners had commissioned them to get an art piece for the foyer of the Justice Building, and they have now selected a wall hanging, 95" x 752". The weaving was done by Thomas Currie from Bend at a cost of $2,000.00; however, the Art Now group is gifting the County with this weaving. The name of it is "Dark Ombre", and the Commissioners signed an agreement with Mr. Currie and the Art Now group for the hanging. There is also a sculpture for the front of the Justice Building, but it has not arrived as yet. The Commissioners thanked both Jodie and Nancy for getting this piece of art for the new Justice Building. Commissioner Young moved to accept the agreement between the Art Now group, and Mr. Currie for the weaving to be placed in the new Justice Building. Commissioner Paulson seconded it. Commissioner Young voted aye, Commissioner Paulson voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye. The meeting was adjourned at 12:00 o'clock to be reconvened at 2 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 2 p.m. with Chairman Shepard and Commissioner Young present. Lucy had a number of things for the Commissioners and presented a Temporary Services Contract for JoAnn Baze to work part time in Planning. Salary is $4.00 per hour. Commissioner Young moved to approve the temporary contract with JoAnn Baze. Chairman Shepard seconded it. Commissioner Young voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye. Commissioner Paulson returned to the meeting at 2:28 p.m. Next was a letter from David. Coleman-Berger asking to lease some property down by Redmond with the same type of lease that was drawn up for Ron Rogerson for a wrecking yard in December of 1978. Commissioner Young said that he would like him to come in and talk this over with the Board before we proceed with this lease. Chairman Shepard made a motion that David Coleman-Berger to meet with the Commissioners for discussion on this lease. Commissioner Young seconded it. Commissioner Young voted aye, Chairman Shepard voted aye, and Commissioner Paulson abstained. Next was a turn-around document from the Sheriff's Office asking to upgrade Marvin Combs salary to $1,075.00 per month since this was a position created in December and his raise was due last month. Commissioner Young moved for approval of Marvin Combs increase. Commissioner Paulson seconded it. Commissioner Young voted aye, Commissioner Paulson voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye. Next were two terminations for Howard Henry and Mari Lynn Henry of Search and Rescue. Commissioner Paulson made a motion for approval of the terminations. Chairman Shepard seconded it.

BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS February 20, 1979 - DAILY MINUTES Page 3 Next was a turn around for John Hansen who has been here a year in Data Processing, and Ross Brown asked for a 5% merit increase for him. This was tabled for the moment and Commissioner Paulson brought up the resolution on pay raises and merit increases. Commissioner Paulson made a motion to approve the resolution minus the last paragraph. Commissioner Young seconded it and said he would like a date of July 31, 1979 set to look into this. Commissioner Paulson voted aye, Commissioner Young voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye. The Commissioners all agreed that the committee talked about in the resolution should be independent of the Board of Commissioners but should get some instruction from the Board as to what to to. Commissioner Paulson said he would do that and get back to the Board for approval. John Hansen's turn around was brought back from the table. Commissioner Paulson made a motion to approve the merit increase for John Hansen of Data Processing. Commissioner Young seconded it. Commissioner Paulson voted aye, Commissioner Young voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye. Commissioner Young then moved to approve the merit increase for Willis Neth of the Road Department. Commissioner Paulson seconded it. There was some discussion on this matter, and the Commissioners decided to write Mr. Neth a letter on this matter. Jim Meston was next from Dog Control and explained the amount he had turned in for payment of overtime. He told the Commissioners that both he and his other employee had to work many hours extra as they really need a third man but haven't been able to figure one into the budget. Commissioner Young moved to approve payment of this overtime. Chairman Shepard seconded it. Commissioner Young voted aye, Commissioner Paulson voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye. Commissioner Paulson also made the comment that the Dog Control should be helped if there is any way to do it and get a third man, and all the Commissioners agreed with that. The Commissioners went into Executive Session then, and the meeting was adjourned at 4:10 p.m. BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS r - A6 / CCRU&PA COMMISSIONE ~ C M ER
