Commissioner Paulson and Chairman Shepard were in attendance. First item on the agenda was a letter from attorney Dan Van Vactor. Louis Dvorak, County Counsel, had disqualified himself from the Winch v. Tracy case, and Dan Van Vactor said he would represent the County with no charge. Commissioner Paulson moved for approval of the letter. Chairman Shepard seconded it. Commissioner Paulson voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye. Next Louis said that Bill Pruitt had signed his grazing lease and it was ready for the Commissioners' signatures. Next was Jean Hixon from Brosterhaus Road who wanted to ask the Board of Commissioners some questions. One was why Deschutes County refused to accept responsibility for the frozen water pipes on Brosterhaus this past winter. Chairman Shepard said that he did think the Commissioners should answer any questions since this might go to court and that Jean should talk to the County's attorney, Louis Dvorak. Louis came into the meeting and explained that he would send her written response to the questions. He asked her if the group was going to sue the County, and she said that as of now they are just asking advice from an attorney. Dave Hoerning was next with a minor land partition. Commissioner Paulson made a motion to approve MLP-79-2. Chairman Shepard seconded it. Commissioner Young voted aye, Commissioner Paulson voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye. Dave also explained that when he was employed by the County the Commissioners at that time had agreed that in order to get the Comprehensive Plan done it would be necessary to allow the overtime even if it exceeded the amount then allowed. Jon Oshel was next representing the Tillicum Village Homeowners. He explained that they would like the County to take over Rae Road since it is used by others than the people in Tillicum Village. Lynn McKibben, Road Dept., said that he felt it would not be in the best interest for the County to take over this road since it is not up to current County standards. He suggested an alternate proposal of a special road district. Jon said that they would probably stand a better chance of getting a local iimprovement district than a special road district. The concensus of the Commissioners was that if Rae Road was brought up to County standards it would most likely be accepted into the County road system. Carole Wells, Planning Dept., was next with coordination matters. The Redmond and Sisters Comprehensive Plan compliance will be coming up along with Bend's. The oint City Council Board hearing is June 14 for the Redmond Urban Area Plan, and the ~ounty Planning Dept. is taking care of the notices and all. She presented the Sisters schedule for completion of their plan, and they are hoping to have a hearing by the Board of Commissioners some time after August 9. Carole brought up the special district agreements again, and she said that 99% of them think this is a good idea. She asked that we go ahead and sign them. She said she was calling all them before she left and had already received some of them back with signatures on them. Chairman Shepard signed the agreements that had come back to Carole. Carole also brought up the fact that the canyon west of Redmond is being filled in with materials. The City voted to keep is as open space, but the County has no ordinance for this. Commissioner Paulson suggested that they talk to Louis Dvorak, County Counsel, about this problem and see what can be done. BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS May 11, 1979 - DAILY MINUTES Page 2 Jerry Hoffman of the Community Corrections division was next. He explained the community corrections program to the Commissioners and noted that this was an ontirely voluntary program. There are biennial grants available, and if a County is awarded one, they can use it any way they see fit within the corrections area. Jerry said he encouraged the money to be used for juvenile purposes. The discussion went on and the Commissioners said they felt the Sheriff's office and Juvenile should be in on further discussions. The judges should be in on this discussion along with the Mental Health Department too. The Commissioners said they would try to set up a date for all to meet and get Jerry to return for the meeting. Jerry said he would be glad to have any people involved with corrections and would be glad to have the press there also. Marvin Young was next and wanted to bring some information and ask for some ideas on weed control in Deschutes County. He explained that there is no formal weed district as many other counties have so he receives any information that comes out on weeds. The State Dept. has asked that we become involved in the tansy ragwort situation since it could become a major problem. Marvin explained that tansy ragwort is a poisonous plant to livestock, and collects in the liver. If a person eats the liver it could possibly affect them since it is an accumulative thing and never leaves the system of the animal. The west side of the mountains has a bad problem with it, and they have given up trying to eradicate it but are trying to control it. The legislature passed a bill on tansy ragwort last session but do not have money enough. In the past three years we have found 6 or 8 infestations in Deschutes County. It will grow anyplace and is a perenial plant. One plant will produce close to 500,000 seeds. Marvin said there was a meeting called by the Agriculture Dept. in conjunction with Region 6 of the Forest Service for May 31. He asked the Commissioners what they would like to do since there is no one appointed to handle this. Marvin recommended that the Commissioners talk to Charlie Plummer, Roadmaster, to see if they would perhaps get involved in this and assign someone as a County weed control person so the State Dept. and other weed control organizations have some one to contact. Commissioner Paulson said that this looked like a "Catch 22" situation since we need a weed control program and don't have any funds available. Chairman Shepard said that he would get in touch with Charlie Plummer and see if we could possibly get him or someone from the Road Dept. to be involved in this weed problem. Marvin thanked the Commissioners and reiterated that the meeting would be May 31 at North's Chuck Wagon at 10:00 a.m. Lynn McKibben was next with the final plat for the Pilot Butte Medical Center.#482. He explained this was to be northeast of the hospital. The probelm is that the subdivision wants to come within 40 feet of the section line assuming the road did correspond with the section line; however, it did not. We don't even have a right of way where the road is except by prescription. The road is better than 100 feet off the section line. They would like to go ahead and develop onto the right of way because they have a purchase of some property at stake. Commissioner Paulson said that it was not our responsibility to approve this plat today just so the people concerned wouldn't lose money. Having this right of way would be of a financial advantage to the people of the County. What Mr. Hickman is trying to get done is have us initiate the zone change that is required on our own because it would be to our advantage to have that zone change for the public. BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS May 11, 1979 - Daily Minutes Page 3 Lynn said he thought it would be a definite advantage for us to have because it would lower our expenditures putting in a Class A road if we could acquire this property to align our right-of-way. What Mr. Wick would like to do, if possible, is get anything the County wanted and he would have it signed it by a representative. The Commissioners did not want to make a rush decision, and County Counsel asked if the thing before the Board was for final approval of the plat today. Lynn said that was correct, and Craig from Planning said he would have no problem with the agreement but that he had not seen the plat yet, and since it was within the City, they would have to sign it also. Commissioner Paulson moved that the Board not approve final plat #482, Pilot Butte Medical Center at this time as they did not even have the final plat in front of them. Chairman Shepard seconded it. Commissioner Paulson voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye. Commissioner Young had left the meeting. Chairman Shepard made a motion that the Board not accept any more letters from consluting firms dealing with the Comprehensive Plan as of 1 p.m. on May 11, 1979. Commissioner Paulson seconded it. Commissioner Paulson voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye. Commissioner Paulson brought up the Economic Analysis Committee. Two members recently resigned, and the Committee is recommending that the two following names be added to the Committee. Commissioner Paulson made a motion to appoint Richard Rotondi of Bend, and Mr. John Sims of LaPine. Mr. Sims replaces Vic Russell, and Mr. Rotondi is a replacement for Gregg Lien. Chairman Shepard seconded it. Commissioner Paulson voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye. The Planning Department will be notified so they can correct their records. Commmissioner Paulson made a motion to approved the final plat for Valhalla Heights, Phase III. Chairman Shepard seconded it. Commissioner Paulson voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye. There being no further business this day, meeting was adjourned. BOARD OY" COMMISS IONER ' l t~ CO XIfSSiIONER
