BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
February 23, 1979 - DAILY MINUTES
Chairman Shepard opened the meeting at 10:00 a.m. with all Commissioners present.
First item on the agenda was Ed Graves, County Surveyor, who presented the
Commissioners with a written request for space in the Road Building Offices.
The Commissioners said they would take this into consideration and let them know
their decision soon.
Next on the agenda were Bob Carl and Jon Oshel of the Optimist Club in regard to a
walkathon that is going to be coming up, and they were asking permission from the
Board of Commissioners to use some County roads. They expect about 300 people to
take part in this which will be on a Sunday from 10 until 12 in the morning.
Commissioner Paulson moved to approve the project subject to further approval from
the City, Road Dept., and Sheriff's Office for the Three Sisters Classic foot race
to be put on by the Bend Optimist Club. Commissioner Young seconded it. Commissioner
Paulson voted aye, Commissioner Young voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye.
Ray Lakey of R & R Beverage was next and explained to the Commissioners a piece of
property they would like to purchase from the County that is totally encompassed by
their land and Burlington Northern. There is no access to this property, and it
is 800 feet long and a very narrow strip. Commissioner Young explained that this
particular piece of property was requested to be auctioned two or three years ago, and
the County appraised the land and was going to put it up for sale when Mr. Neil decided
it was appraised too high, so it was taken off the list. Commissioner Paulson commented
that he would like to be able to sell this to them, but all agreed that it would be
best to wait until the Comprehensive Plan has gone into effect. Mr. Lakey thanked the
Commissioners and said he would keep in touch with them.
Next was Fairway Crest Village II Final Plat for signature. Commissioner Paulson
made a motion to approve Fairway Crest Village II, a portion of Sunriver. Commissioner
Young seconded it. Commissioner Paulson voted aye, Commissioner Young voted aye, and
Chairman Shepard voted aye.
Chairman Shepard then presented a tax refund from Helen Rastovich, Treasurer, for
$1,136.16 to Prineville Railroad. Commissioner Young seconded it. Commissioner
Paulson voted aye, Commissioner Young voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye.
Next was a Planning refund to Curtis Drahn. Commissioner Paulson made a motion to
refund $60 to Curtis Drahn. Commissioner Young seconded it. Commissioner Paulson
voted aye, Commissioner Young voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye.
Commissioner Paulson then brought up filling the open position of Director of Admini-
strative Services. Commissioner Young said he definitely was opposed to this and
we do not need this position. Chairman Shepard made the comment that he felt the
County was running very inefficiently and this person hired could help elminate
many of the problems we are having. Commissioner Paulson and Chairman Shepard both
feel the need for this position, and they will look over the job description and
bring it back to a meeting the first part of next week at the Tuesday meeting.

Lucy was next on the agenda with administrative matters. First was the turn-around
on Carolyn Smith. Since she is paid $3.00 per hour some days, and then $4.00 per
hour when the head cook is not there, Commissioner Paulson made a motion to pay
Carolyn Smith $3.50 or less per hour. Commissioner Young seconded it. Commissioner
Paulson voted aye, Commissioner Young voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye.
Next Commissioner Young made a motion to approve the hiring of a new CETA employee
for Emergency Services, Frank Milby. Commissioner Paulson seconded it. Commissioner
Young voted aye, Commissioner Paulson voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye.
Next Lucy presented an Appropriation Transfer. Commissioner Young moved to approve
the transfer of $1,000.00 from Personal Services to Materials and Services in the
Sanitation Dept. Commissioner Paulson seconded it. Commissioner Young voted aye,
Commissioner Paulson voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye. Next was a problem
with one of our employees in the Building Dept., Lonny Thompson. He has worked for
the state before and they had been taking out retirement. When he came to work for
the County he did not tell us and now there if $800 due and owing for his retirement
fund. He owes around $300 and Commissioner Paulson and the others agreed that we
should take double retirement out of his check to pay this back. It will be discussed
with him. Lucy then presented a request from the Sheriff's Office for $500 to be used
for drug buys. Commissioner Young said that it had been taken out of the District
Attorney's line item before, and the Commissioners agreed that it could be done this
way again. She brought up what to do about a maintenance agreement for County Counsel's
MTST-Typewriter. Commissioner Paulson made a motion to accept the use of Louis Dvorak's
typewriter and the County be responsible for maintenance of that typewriter as long as
it is used primarily for County business. Chairman Shepard seconded it. Commissioner
Paulson voted aye, Commissioner Young voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye.
She also brought up the fact that at the end of February the Sheriff's 3 traffic
safety deputies are out of funding and we have not received the money from the State.
We will need $41,000 to take us through to this point. Commissioner Paulson and Young
agreed that the Sheriff's budget had taken into consideration this amount and set aside
some in their budget. Lucy said she would check into the matter.
Commissioner Paulson made a motion to sign the Cost Certificate #1 for North Pacific
Products subject to County Counsel's approval. Commissioner Young seconded it.
Commissioner Paulson voted aye, Commissioner Young voted aye, and Chairman Shepard
voted aye.
Oscar Bratton, County Assessor, asked the Commissioners for money out of his merit
increase line so that he could hire a draftsman position at $4.75 per hour. Commissioner
Paulson said he would check into this matter and see what could be done. Oscar also
brought up the fact that the Commissioners might think of a transaction tax instead of
the proposed gas tax.
There being no further business this day, meeting was recessed at 11;55 aim.
