Chairman Shepard opened the meeting at 10:00 a.m. with all Commissioners present.
First on the agenda was John Andersen, Planning Dept., with a request to hire a
student from Oregon University to do an energy impact study. To do this the County
must provide 25% of her salary, and it can be taken from the LCDC Fund for $162.50.
Commissioner Young moved to proceed with this offer. Chairman Shepard seconded it.
Commissioner Young voted aye, Commissioner Paulson voted aye, and Chairman Young
voted aye.
Next was Charlie Plummer, Roadmaster, with an agreement between Deschutes County and
the Forest Service. This is an application for a grant from the Forest Service for
new facilities at Cultus Lake. Commissioner Young moved to approve the Marine Board
grant application. Commissioner Paulson seconded it. Commissioner Young voted aye,
Commissioner Paulson voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye.
Discussion for a site for the Historical Society museum was the next item. Barry
Slaughter of the Historical Society said they would like to pursue the Reed School
as a possible site, and Aubrey Fitzgerald of the school board said that to his
knowledge no one has put in a request for any building and they were here to listen
today. Dorothy Kale, President of the Historical Society, said that the reason they
probably had not heard of this request if because they had worked closely with the
past Board of Commissioners, who were trying to help them with this project, and now
they were here to find out what to do. Barry said they had also talked with Chuck
Austin, who no longer is on the school board. Aubrey said that the Society could submit
an offer on the property they want by offering (1) a bid on all three sites as one
combined offer or (2) bid on any of the sites separately. The bids must be in the
Administration Office by 5:00 p.m. on March 12. Dr. Reinke suggested that the Society
be put on the agenda for the meeting the 13th of March as a decision would not have
been made yet on the sale of the property. Dorothy Kale said the Society would also
like to meet with the Board of Commissioners again and get something definite set with
them. The Society will attend the Commissioners 10:00 a.m. meeting March 2.
Barbara Mitchell spoke and said there were a large number or concerned citizens that
would like to see Cascade Jr. High saved. She understood that it would take approx.
$85,000 to do necessary work and save 35 classrooms whereas it would take 2.8 million
dollars for 18 classrooms if the school district built a new school. Dr. Reinke
explained that the $85,000 is just for bare necessities and would still not make the
school usable. He suggested that Ms. Mitchell and group come to a PULSE meeting and
learn further what is happening in this area. Perry Herford made the comment that
many citizens were concerned with saving these schools and hoped that something could
be done along this line. The Commissioners asked about a land trade, and the school
district said that it was still a possibility so that option could be looked in to.
Next was Carol Wells from Planning. She asked that the Commissioners appoint the Ad
Hoc Economic Analysis Committee that has been meeting already for 2 months. She
presented the Commissioners with a list that had been agreed upon. Commissioner Young
moved to officially appoint and establish the Ad Hoc Economic Analysis Committee.
Chairman Shepard seconded it. Commissioner Paulson voted aye, Commissioner Young voted
aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye.

Next was County Counsel, Louis Dvorak. He presented a resolution to the Board
and read from ORS 307.110 which establishes how grazing leases should be done and
we are not charging enough at this point to pay taxes. Commissioner Paulson said he
would like to consider letting people use this leased grazing land for hiking and
foot traffic. Commissioner Paulson made a motion to amend the resolution to read
" the public be allowed to use the land by mode of foot travel so long as it does not
impede the lease owner's animals." Chairman Shepard seconded it. Commissioner Paulson
voted aye, Chairman Shepard voted aye, and Commissioner Young ABSTAINED. Motion was
carried. County Counsel suggested that this land be put on agricultural deferral
if we are going to lease it. Commissioner Paulson moved that all lands that are
leased for grazing purposes be placed on agricultural deferral. Chairman Shepard
seconded it. Commissioner Young voted aye, Commissioner Paulson voted aye, and Chairman
Shepard voted aye. Next Commissioner Paulson moved to approve the resolution with the
amendment. Chairman Shepard seconded it, and said they all had read this resolution
and copies would be made available to the public. Commissioner Paulson voted aye,
Chairman Shepard voted aye, and Commissioner Young ABSTAINED. Motion was carried.
Next Commissioner Paulson brought up the fact that Mr. Pruitt would like to make a
land trade with the County; however, it had been agreed that there will be no trades
or sales until the Comprehensive Plan has gone into effect. A letter will be written
to Mr. Pruitt and he may reapply at a later date if he wishes.
