BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
September 28, 1979 - DAILY MINUTES
Chairman Shepard called the meeting of September 28, 1979 to order at 10:00
a.m. with all three Commissioners present. Chairman Shepard explained that
that there was a motion that had been tabled in response to the first item on
the agenda which was extension of time on the comprehensive plan. Commissioner
Young had moved at a previous meeting (September 26, 1979) that the request
of CLUE be permitted so that the extra time would allow for time to reassess the
plan. John Sullivan approached the podium with a few words to say. Mr. Sullivan
is the president of the Bend chamber of commerce. Mr. Sullivan stated that
the economic committee of the Bend chamber of commerce having considered
Deschutes County's comprehensive plan recommends to the county commissioners that
the comprehensive plan be submitted to LCDC on November 1, 1979 deadline with
the following provisions: 1) the Paulson economic committee as originally
appointed proceed with the original objectives and timeline to include a) the
last existing group of five representatives proceed to finalize the criteria
for the selection of a unbiased economic consultant and that Tom Throop, state
representative, and Bob Paulson, county commissioner be added to that group
to insure communication between state and county levels;b) that that committee
review and recommend those consultants thbt would qualify for this criteria;
c) that that committee identify the scope of work; d) that that committee participate
in the selection of the consultants and e) that the deadline for completion of
the study and the recommended ordinance implementation in the comprehensive plan
update comply with LCDC's requirements and be completed by November 1, 1980.
2) The Bend chamber of commerce board of directors will have further input and
recommendations at the public hearings to be held on or about October 18, 1979.
Barbara Shay--member of the overall committee for the comprehensive plan. She
stated that she is speaking for herself and 12 other people who wish to remain
anonymous with the exception of Ted Young, chairman of the forest lands committee.
These people feel that there is no reason to extend the time for the comprehensive
plan; She said that the citizen goal has been met and time for citizen involvement
has been met and she feels it should be adopted or rejected on November 1, 1979.
Mrs. Shay said that during the update of the plan, people may go in and make some
changes through the legal process if they so care to.
Jane Poor--member of the overall committee for the comprehensive plan. She stated
she was also a member of the housing committee. Ms. Poor said she would read
the last paragraph of her statement. "We have had up to this point hundreds of hours
of citizen input into the plan. We have listened to diverse opinions and weighed
the others. The Planning Commission has disected, considered and recommended.
The Planning staff has submitted auctions and interpreted the goals as well as writing
and rewriting the plan and incorporating changes as recommended. The overall
committee has revi!owed the most recent edition and responded. The time has come
to cease crying for extension and submit the plan."
Paula Spofford--stated that she is concerned that to express her opinion that the
submission date of the plan to LCDC should not be extended to a date unknown. She
was a member of the overall committee and feels that there has been done a lot of
work and there will always be a need for an update process but under the time pressure
that everyone has been under, there will be numerous things in the plan that
will need to be changed. She stated that the people have no way of knowing how
LCDC will react to what is being submitted now unless it is submitted; to delay
further and LCDC still does not accept the plan, the county will have to go back
even further and change it. Ms. Spofford also feels that there has been ample
time for public input if there was to be any at all.
Dolo Cutter--Chairman of CLUE(Committee for Land Use Education). The group's
contention that there has been public input and involvement into the plan but
that it has not been used.

i
Jim Powell, physician and member of the overall committee. Mr.Powell stated quite
a few facts about the comprehensive plan regarding Mr.Young's philosophy and Mr.
Bodtker's philosophy. Mr. Powell felt that these philosophies have brought the
city of Bend where it now stands today and feels that if these philosophies could
be used to help in land education it would be well worth it. Mr. Powell
outlined what has happened to Bend in the past few years as well as what has
happened in some other cities. As a closing statement, Mr. Powell told the Board
that he was glad he was not in their shoes.
Commissioner Paulson--no; Commissioner Young--aye; Chairman Shepard--no. Motion
does not carry. Commissioner Paulson made a few comments after the vote. He
feels that the people know that the old plan by which we know live is not sufficient
to where the changes the county has gone through. Commissioner Paulson feels that
we can be proud of all the hours and continuous effort that has gone into the plan.
Commissioner Paulson feels that the county can be proud of the plan as it stands
right now. Commissioner Paulson also stated that there is one hearing remaining
on the plan which will be October 18, 1979. He also said that the plan will probably
undergo some change as a result of the hearing. Commissioner Paulson feels that
this whole process has been a compromise. Within the original committees,
they pass the work onto the overall committee and they pass their work onto the
Planning Commission based on public testimony and passed onto the Board of
Commissioners. Commissioner Paulson feels it significant that the county face
another compromise which will be the November 1, 1979 deadline for getting the
plan.
Chairman Shepard then had a few comments to make about this decision. Chairman
Shepard thought that a lot of people deserved a lot of credit to this plan.
Chairman Shepard said that the work on this plan started 1 year and 2 ago and
committees were formed and they were assigned tasks of making reports and studies.
Each of these committees presented their studies to the overall committee;
the overall citizens committee took the various reports and melded them into a
preliminary draft. After that, the overall committee submitted their work to
the Planning Commission which invested many late night hours in working over the
draft. The Planning Commission then drafted another document and gave it to
the Board of Commissioners. We are now at the point to have another hearing
on the zoning ordinances, etc. and more public input will be taken and put into
the plan. The final hearing will be on October 18, 1979 at 10:00 a.m. in
Conference Room A and will go until 1:00 p.m. and will resume at 3:00 p.m. and
will continue until 5-5:30 p.m. and then will go to Redmond to resume at 7:30p.m.
Chairman Shepard stated that the location of the hearing will be published
as it is not yet known..
Commissioner Young decided to make a few comments since his fellow commissioners
did. His original intention of making no comment was waived. Commissioner Young
stated that the comprehensive plan as it now stands is oppressive and repressive
and it will add considerably to put into force the inflation in the land market.
It was written by no-growth environmentalists for no-growth environmentalists and
is being promoted by no-growth environmentalists. As the plan stands now, Commissioner
Young will not vote for it.
The next item on the agenda was the first reading, Sisters Comprehensive Plan
and Zoning Ordinance. Commissioner Paulson read into the record what the next
item was and stated that the meeting has been published as it should be.
Commissioner Paulson asked Lou Dvorak if he had the order that was to be signed.
Mr. Dvorak said that the record should show that the ordinances that were up for
consideration have been up for public inspection since September 20, 1979.
Mr. Dvorak explained that first of all the comprehensive plan should be considered
for adoption; then the management plan and then the zoning ordinances. A gold
colored booklet, "Sisters Comprehensive Plan for Urban Growth" is Exhibit A
and is so marked. Exhibit B is the Sisters Comprehensive Plan Map which is so
marked. Chairman Shepard read Ordinances PL#16 into the record. Commissioner

Paulson--aye. Commissioner Young--aye. Chairman Shepard--aye. Motion carried.
Commissioner Young stated that he wished that the Bend Comprehensive plan could
have been done as well. Congratulations were given to Lorin on the splendid job
he did on the plan. Chairman Shepard stated that next on the agenda was adoption
of Sisters Urban Area Zoning Ordinance, PL-17. This was read by title into the
record by the chairman. Commissioner Paulson moved that the Board approve PL-17
Sisters Urban Growth Boundary Management Agreement. Commissioner Young seconded
the motion. Commissioner Paulson--aye. Commissioner Young--aye. Chairman
Shepard--aye. Motion carried. Lou Dvorak stated that the original map should
be filed with the county clerk. Commissioner Paulson moved that PL#17 be read
by title since it has been on inspection since September 20, 1979. Commissioner

The next matter on the agenda-- discussion regarding Woodside Ranch Water Supply
System. Mr. Rhodes was present--who runs the pumps for the Woodside Water Supply
people. A letter had been sent out by the health department stating that there
was some trouble with the water system up at the Ranch. Mr. Rhodes contends
that there is a lot of water up at the Ranch and there is not a problem as far as
he is concerned. Kristine Gebbie wrote the letter from the health department
dated September 17, 1979. Mr. Rhodes contends that the health department is out
of its jurisdiction in this case because the department does not cover him.
Mr. Dvorak said that the letter that was referred to by Mr. Rhodes was a letter
dated August 31, 1979 by A.D. Smythe of Manager Plan Review Section, State Dept.
of Health Division. Commissioner Young stated that the letter should be read
into the record for the purpose of refreshing the commissioners memories.
There was some discussion afterwards. Mr. & Mrs. Nashem spoke of the times when
they were left without water and for long periods of time. Mrs. Nashem spoke
of the time when they were left without water in their pipes it gives a chance
for a suction to develop and outside water to get into them. The water sometimes
comes out muddy and such. There was much discussion over this item and whose
responsibility it was to take care of this and what could be done. Chairman
Shepard thought that after much discussion that neither party was getting anywhere
so he asked Lou Dvorak, County Counsel, if he would research the matter further
and try to come to a compromise and work the problem. Mr. Dvorak said he would
look into the matter.
Next on the agenda was consideration of adopting Z-79-7. This is north of
Redmond, changing a zone from A-1 to C-2. Chairman Shepard said that he brought
this up with some council members last night at the meeting. Redmond has no
authority as to whether this change should be made but Chairman Shepard thought
that this was a matter of interest, the council does not believe that this
change is appropriate at this time. Commissioner Paulson asked if the 1990 plan
referred to commercial property being located inside the city limits or inside
the urban rural area. Craig Smith answered says that being located inside the
urban rural area is not a requirement of being zoned commerical. The existing
comprehensive plan shows it existing as a commercial piece of property. Commissioner
Young moved to approve Z-79-7 inasmuch as the plan that is now in effect has it
zoned as such. Commissioner Paulson seconded the motion for discussion.
After very brief discussion on this matter the vote was taken--Commissioner Young--
aye. Commissioner Paulson--no. Chairman Shepard--no. Motion was not carried.
Next on the agenda--Services Contracts for Health Department.
