First item on the agenda was Hiltje Hubbard of General Health. She presented an application to hire a replacement for a family planning position that has been vacated. The Commissioners told Hiltje to go ahead and present them a turn-around document and hire this position. Next on the agenda was Sheriff Sholes. Commissioner Paulson made a motion to transfer $15,000 out of Other County Contributions into the Personnel Services of the Sheriff's Department. Commissioner Young seconded it. Commissioner Paulson voted aye, Commissioner Young voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye. This will pay the three traffic safety people who have been receiving State funds and have had to work on the State roads. Sheriff Sholes said this could possibly help alleviate the problem in LaPine somewhat. Daryl asked if there was any way that they could get money from their Forest Patrol Fund for a new vehicle. There is $14,000 available but they do not have a Capital Outlay fund and don't know what to do to get at these funds. Lucy said she would meet with Daryl and see if they could work out something. The position of Director of Administrative Services was brought up again and Commissioner Young reiterated his position that he was definitely against hiring this position. Commissioner Paulson moved to refill the position of Director of Administrative Services. Chairman Shepard seconded it. Commissioner Young emphatically voted NO. Commissioner Paulson voted yes, and Chairman Shepard voted yes. Motion was carried. Lucy was next with administrative matters. First was a resolution for annexation to R.F.P.D. #2 (Padgett). Commissioner Young moved to adopt the resolution setting a hearing for March 21, 1979. Commissioner Paulson seconded it. Commissioner Young voted aye, Commissioner Paulson voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye. Next was a turn-around document for the Sheriff's office. Commissioner Paulson moved to approve the hiring of Clyde Halstead as a Corrections Officer in the Sheriff's Dept. Commissioner Young seconded it. Commissioner Paulson voted aye, Commissioner Young voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye. An appropriation transfer. Commissioner Paulson made a motion to accept the transfer to the Assessor's Office for $4500.00. Commissioner Young seconded it. Commissioner Paulson voted aye, Commissioner Young voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye. Next Commissioner Paulson made a motion to transfer $2587.00 into the Administrative Services budget. Chairman Shepard seconded it. Commissioner Paulson voted aye, Chairman Shepard voted aye, and Commissioner Young voted NO. Motion was carried. Commissioner Paulson then presented a draft to set up a 7 member board to review the personnel rules and regulations. They will not review the pay scale. This draft will be looked over and acted upon. Commissioner Paulson brought up the land lease that David Coleman-Berger would like to have for a wrecking yard. Commissioner Paulson made a motion to inform Mr. Coleman-Berger that the County will not consider his lease until after the Comprehensive Plan is adopted, and then he may reapply if he wishes. Chairman Shepard seconded it. Commissioner Young voted NO, Commissioner Paulson voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye. Motion carried. Commissioner Paulson also brought up the fact that a decision should be made as to space in the Road Shop Buildings, and it was suggested that we give Bill Jones a chance to put in his request. This matter will be acted on before long. BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS February 27, 1979 - DAILY MINUTES Page 2 The meeting recessed at 9:55 a.m. and reconvened at 10:05 a.m. Next was discussion of Road Priorities. Charlie Plummer, Roadmaster, explained that there will be $2 million available and the County will try to get its share for their roads. He passed out a sheet that listed the top ten road projects for the County. In attendance at this meeting were members of the Road Advisory Board including Randy Pape, Harvey Watt, & John Killen. Also in attendance was Chuck Austin and Roger Vlach. There was quite some discussion, and Chairman Shepard thought that perhaps another priority should be the extension of 1st street so as to help traffic circulation. The Board and all concerned agreed, but told the Commissioners that they had used the Roadway book to scientifically come up with this list. Lynn McKibben, Road Dept., said that he felt the County should look into accepting major roads that serve a multitude of people and the County might think of accepting into the system small roads that serve one or two families. We are going to have to do something as we will not have funds available for all the repair and reconstruction that is going to become necessary with the growth now happening. It was explained that the new roads that have been built have not even been taken into consideration, and they will be needing repairs also in just a matter of time. The County needs to have a program because to get Federal funds it is necessary to have surveys done, plans and specifications drawn up, and there are deadlines for all these things that have to be done. Chairman Shepard made a motion that the County Commissioners approve Neff and Denser as the two top priorities. Commissioner Paulson seconded it. Commissioner Young said that he would favor this but thought that the division of dollars to do the work should be more equally divided. Charlie said that we would want to do these roads up to City standards so that the City will take over the maintenance of them. Commissioner Paulson suggested the Commissioners act on the motion with reference to looking at the dollar figure after we get more informa- tion. The school district would be involved in this matter also and Chuck Austin was asked about the development agreement that was signed between Deschutes County and the school district. He said his understanding was that the school district could improve the road if they wanted, but they did not have to. At this point Chairman Shepard withdrew his motion. Commissioner Young made a motion to put Denser and Neff Roads first on the list of priorities subject to all conditions being worked out by the City and School District with a "cooperative" agreement. Charlie Plummer said he needed to know if he had the authority to go ahead with the surveys, getting plans, and all that had to be done to try and obtain some of this money. Commissioner Young moved that the Road Department be authorized to proceed with the study and engineering work on Denser Road. Commissioner Paulson seconded it. Commissioner Young voted aye, Commissioner Paulson voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye. Then Commissioner Paulson made the motion that we put Neff and Denser, in that order, on the top of the County priority list for reconstruction and that the final decision to actually spend the money, over and above that just moved, would be approved later if we get the exact financial determina- tions worked out between the City, County, State, and School District. Commissioner Young seconded it, and said that we will have to negotiate for "fair share." Commissioner Paulson voted aye, and Commissioner Young voted aye. Chairman Shepard abastained, and the motion carried. It was decided that the County would try to get some figures and come to the City--County meeting March 6 with more discussion. They will also try to talk with the school board on this matter. Meeting was recessed at 11:45 a.m. and reconvened at 1:30 p.m. with discussion on the Terrebonne Sanitation problems. 80ARD OF COMMISSIONERS February 27, 1979 - DAILY MINUTES Page 3 Dick Nichols of DEQ was in attendance along with Mr. Barnes from the F.H.A. office and several citizens from Terrebonne.
