March 22, 1979 - DAILY MINUTES
Chairman Shepard opened the meeting at 10:00 a.m. with all Commissioners present.
First item on the agenda was the Redmond Senior Citizen group. Ruth Miller presented
the Commissioners a budget for next fiscal year and a request letter for $6889.00
additional revenue. The County gave them $4,000 last year to help operate the van,
and now they have a "Meals on Wheels" program which they need some help on. Commissioner
Young explained that in the past the County had put $10,000 in Revenue Sharing and
called it a grant, and perhaps the County could do that again. The Commissioners
said they would take this budget request into consideration, and the members thanked
them and said they would be back at budget time.
Eileen Donalson spoke for the Senior Citizen group of Bend and told the Commissioners
that the senior citizens had $2900.00 and if the County could help them get another
bus, these funds would be added to whatever was received from the County. Commissioner
Paulson said he understood that they had received $5,000 last year. Eileen said that
was correct and they were asking for $15,000 additional this year which would come to
$20,000. She said she had turned in the budget for this, and the Commissioners said
they would consider this request at budget time. Commissioner Paulson made a motion
for the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners to draft a letter to the Governor and
Senators in support of the State keeping any refund money and using it for transportation
and roads, including transportation for senior citizens. Commissioner Young seconded it.
Commissioner Paulson voted aye, Commissioner Young voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted
aye.
John Weber made the announcement that COCOA will be having a public meeting in the
near future (hopefully April 10) and will be telling what they will be doing for the
year. The group also wants to get any input from citizens. Martha gave a bit of
information on the Senior Center: $125,000 was building cost; $20,000 downpayment
was made and another $10,000 from gifts and donations brought the figure down to $95,000.
Payments are approximately $900 per month, and the total for the year figures around
$18,060. The group has no grants they can receive and would appreciate any help they
could get from the County.
Next on the agenda was Mr. Nash, who is representing Mr. Howard Herlberg. He was
granted a permit to place a mobile home on his property and has put $90,000 into this
home. The Planning Dept. made an error by allowing this mobile home to be placed in
this particular zoning area. Mr. Herlberg has consented to build a continuous foundation
and put cedar siding on the outside of the mobile to make it look as much like a house
as possible. A Mr. Mormon represents a relative who wants to be allowed to put a mobile
very similar to Mr. Herlberg's on his property also. Mr. Mormon's attorney has informed
him that these are to different items, and this area is not zoned for mobiles. Bill
Monroe, Planning Director, said he had talked to Mr. Mormon and said perhaps if the
new proposed plan remains as it is in this area, he might be able to put one on at a
later date. Commissioner Young said he saw the problem as being one of esthetics,
and short of moving him off the property, the mobile will be in an illegal zone.
The discussion went on and Louis Dvorak, County Counsel, said he say the problem as
one of "vested rights". Bill Monroe asked if we might draw up a waiver for neighbors
in the notification area to sign, and if they all signed it then we wouldn't have to
set a hearing. Louis agreed with that idea, and the Commissioners agreed that if
we got 100% to sign the waiver, then take the "stop work order off. Otherwise
the Commissioners may have to have a hearing, but they will wait until the waivers
are presented to the neighbors. Commissioner Paulson made a motion to set a hearing for
the earliest possible date after notification. Commissioner Young seconded it. Commissioner
Young voted aye, Commissioner Paulson voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye.

Next on the agenda was discussion with the Planning Deparment and Assessor's
Office on the filing of major and minor partitions. Commissioner Paulson explained
that some partitions have apparently gone through the Assessor's Office and been
sold without Planning approval. Dick Knoll of the Planning Dept. said that they
have people come in and want to get a building permit but it is an illegal partition.
They have purchased the land from someone else who got a tax lot number and split
his land in half and then sells to the individual who comes in to build. Terry
Sears, Assessor's Office, said he realized that could be a problem since they don't
give each lot split a tax lot number. The discussion went on and it was decided
to add a space to the roll change request in the Assessor's Office for the Planning
Director's signature. Terry said we can eliminate the problem more by not processing
any partitions without the title company researching it before it comes to the Assessor's
Office. Commissioner Paulson left the meeting at 11:15 a.m.
Alan Crisler was next with a fuel conservation program for the County. He said he
would like to test the County's boilers and run this program if they are 79% efficient.
He explained that this program could save a minimum of 10% for the County. He will
do the testing with no obligation on the County's part. Chairman Shepard and
Commissioner Young both agreed Alan should go ahead with the testing of the County's
boiler system.
Chairman Shepard brought up the fact that Louis Dvorak, County Counsel, is not open
for public business and would like it mentioned in the paper so the public is aware
of this fact.
Chairman Shepard brought up a request by the District Attorney's Office from
Louis Selken for furniture. Commissioner Young said that Doug Maul, Project
Coordinator was getting furniture for the different departments and should take
care of them.
The Commissioner's approved a $79.04 refund for Marvin Hackett, and Lucy presented
a contract from the Road Department for Craig Davis at $6.50 per hour to put up
signs in the Redmond area for the Road Dept. Commissioner Young moved to renew
the contract with Craig Davis. Chairman Shepard seconded it. Commissioner Young
voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye.
There being no further business this day, meeting was adjourned at 11:50 a.m.
