BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
April 26, 1979 - DAILY MINUTES
Chairman Shepard opened the meeting at 10:00 a.m. with all Commissioners present.
First item on the agenda was Andy Anderson with and Oscar Bratton from the Assessor's
Office with discussion on the LaPine Rural Fire Protection District. Andy explained
that only 15% of the subdivision acreage has dwellings on it and is subject to fire
protection charges. He went on to say that 85% of the subdivision lots are not
paying and yet have this protection. He would like to see the County take this land
out of the 1-4 classification for taxes and classify the subdivision lands as 1-10.
Oscar Bratton of the Assessor's Office said that presently they are assessing anyone
in the 1-10 area $2.96 per $1,000. A minimum of $5 per acre is charged for those
in the 1-04 area. Louis Dvorak, County Counsel, explained that in order to change
this land and get it out of the Forest District there must be a hearing and the
Forest Service would have to allow this land to be changed. The State has precedence
and they would have to make the change. Discussion went on, and the Commissioners all
agreed that if the people have the protection of the fire district they should have
to pay for it. Commissioner Young suggested that the people in LaPine get up a
petition and present it to the Forest Service asking them to remove this land from
the forest. Commissioner Paulson suggested calling and asking the forester, on his
own initiative, to take this out of the forest. He said the Commissioners could
draft a letter saying that they suggest LaPine get a hold of the forester and see
about having the land removed so that it can be under a unified tax plan. Andy agreed
that he would try to contact the State forester and see if they could get these lands
removed from the forest so they can be assessed accordingly.
Oscar presented two turn-around documents with new job descriptions, and they were
turned over to Mike, Director of Administrative Services for discussion with Oscar.
Next on the agenda were Lucy and Larry Huettle, Road Dept., and he explained that
there were 5 vehicles that need repair. The County is insured in these cases and
there may be come liability involved on the other parties part so we may be able to
collect some for the damages done to our cars. There is $11,300 left in the
self-insurance fund and it will take $5,000 to fix up these cars. Larry said that
all 5 are worth fixing, and it will take at least a month to get parts and another
month to get them all fixed. Lucy asked the Commissioners if they should proceed
with fixing up the cars, and the Commissioners agreed that they should be fixed.
Commissioner Paulson suggested that either Lucy or Mike should be in charge of the
"bird-dogging" of the claims.
Next Lucy presented three appropriation transfers. One was for $18,000.00 for
Elections, $6,000.00 for Election Personnel Services, and $100.00 to take the Board
of Commissioners Materials and Services category out of the red. Commissioner
Paulson moved to approve all three appropriation transfers. Commissioner Young
seconded it. Commissioner Paulson voted aye, Commissioner Young voted aye, and
Chairman Shepard voted aye. She said that Juvenile also needed $7,000.00 for
detention. Commissioner Young moved to make the proper transfer to take care of
the Juvenile Dept. Commissioner Paulson seconded it. Commissioner Young voted
aye, Commissioner Paulson voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye. Commissioner
Paulson made a motion that the Commissioners draft a letter outlining to the Dept.
heads that we are getting down to the wire and anything that they anticipate
transferring should be cleared by the Board prior to making the transfer or purchase.
Commissioner Young seconded it. Commissioner Paulson voted aye, Commissioner Young
voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye.

Next was the final reading of the amendment to PL-8. Chairman Shepard read the
order completely through for the record, and Commissioner Paulson moved for approval
of the order amending PL-8. Commissioner Young seconded it. Commissioner Paulson
voted aye, Commissioner Young voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye.
Next was the final reading of the amendment to PL-9. Chairman Shepard read the order
completely through for the record, and Commissioner Paulson made a motion for the
approval of the amendment to PL-9. Commissioner Young seconded it. Commissioner
Paulson voted aye, Commissioner Young voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye.
Chairman Shepard announced that the decision on the Bend Urban Growth Boundary
would be delayed until next Courtday, May 2, 1979.
Commissioner Paulson made a motion to approve and sign the Memorandum of Understanding
for coordination with the Forest Service. Commissioner Young seconded it. Commissioner
Paulson voted aye, Commissioner Young voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye.
Next Chairman Shepard brought up the fact that Mrs. Rosenthal of Morris Realty was
interested in some land for a church, which would be built behind the new humane
shelter. Louis Dvorak said that there was a separation of church and state and there
are also statutes that describe the organizations which the County can donate or
lease land to. The Commissioners can do nothing about this either until the new
comprehensive plan has gone into effect.
Discussion on refilling the position of Hearings Officer was next. Commissioner
Young said he felt that they should hire a person of the same status as Gene Venn,
a hearings officer first and anything else second. All the Commissioners agreed,
and Commissioner Paulson said that he didn't care if the person wanted a private
practice so long as it was totally unrelated to land-use planning.
Next on the agenda was a refund of $78. Commissioner Paulson made a motion to
refund $78 to Harold Morgan, receipt #11598. Commissioner Young seconded it.
Commissioner Paulson voted aye, Commissioner Young voted aye, and Chairman Shepard
voted NO. There was some question as to how much work had been done on the partition
in the Planning Department, and Chairman Shepard wanted it checked out before.
The meeting was carried on into the afternoon with a work session on the Comprehensive
Plan.
