BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
October 2, 1979 - DAILY MINUTES
Chairman Shepard called the meeting of October 2, 1979 to order at 10:00 a.m.
with all three commissioners present and the following: Bob Lovlien, attorney for
Sunrise Village; Tim Ward, representative for Mammoth Lakes; Jim Taylor;
Craig Smith, planning; Roy Jernagen and Jack Ziegler, mobile home problem.
First thing that Chairman Shepard called off the agenda was the matter of a mobile
home Use in Klippel Acres with Roy Jernagen and Jack Ziegler. Mr. Jernagen
told the Commission the situation: There happened to be a mobile home out on
some acreage near Mr. Jernagen's property where there is not a septic tank and no
water lines leading to it. The people who live in the mobile home are supposed to
be building a house but so far all they have is the foundation laid in ten months
time. Mr. Jernagen asked the health department to go out and make an inspection
of the situation which they did and the commission now has a copy of that report.
A building permit was issued to these people on December 26, 1978 and it was ex-
tended in May, 1979. There was a temporary permit issued September 11, 1979 for
a single wide to be put on the property. Mr.Jernagen told the Board that a dug
hole was being used for sanitation and sewer facilities. Mr.Jernagen said that he
brings this to the Board's attention because he is going to try to sell his property
that adjoins to this and the situation is unsightly and he fears his property will
not sell at its true value with this situation as it is. He is asking the Board's
help in trying to clear this up. Commissioner Young made the statement that he felt
that the Board would need legal counsel as to how to proceed. Commissioner Young
said that as he was already involved in this matter, he would follow up on it.
Next on the agenda was a Request for Variance from Primary Access Standards,
Mickle. Craig Smith showed a map to the Commission of the site and explained
the situation. Commissioner Paulson moved that the request be approved.
Commissioner Young seconded the motion. Chairman Shepard asked for the question.
Commissioner Paulson--aye. Commissioner Young--aye. Chairman Shepard--aye.
Motion was carried.
Next on the agenda was Sunrise Village. Bob Lovlien presented findings of fact
to the Commission and stated that Ron Marceau had already looked at the findings
and he and Mr. Lovlien had gone over the document and made some changes that Mr.
Marceau wanted regarding the annexation clause. The meeting was recessed for
a short while while the commissioners read the findings for the first time.
Mr. Dvorak explained that the Department of Revenue would want a map to accompany
these findings as well as a legal description as the Phase II boundary is changing.
Commissioner Young moved that the order from the sanitary district, Sunrise
Village, be adopted. Commissioner Paulson seconded the motion. Commissioner
Paulson--aye. Commissioner Young--aye. Chairman Shepard--aye. Motion was carried.
Next item on the agenda was a zone change order A-1 to AR-1. Chairman Shepard
read the order into the record. After some discussion Commissioner Paulson
moved to approve the zone change. Commissioner Young seconded the motion.
Commissioner Paulson--aye. Commissioner Young--aye. Chairman Shepard--aye. Motion
was carried.
Craig Smith had a final plat for signature. Cougar Grove Plat X6312. After
looking this plat over Commissioner Paulson moved to approve Plat X6312. Com-
missioner Young seconded the motion. Commissioner Paulson--aye. Commissioner
Young--aye. Chairman Shepard--aye. Motion was carried.
Next on the agenda was a Resolution Levying Taxes that were to become due May
1, 1980 for the school district 461. Commissioner Paulson moved to approve the
1
w
resolution. Commissioner Young seconded the motion. Commissioner Paulson--aye.
Commissioner Young--aye. Chairman Shepard--aye. Motion was carried.
There was a short recess in which the Commissioners waited for Oscar Bratton.
Mr. Bratton lead a discussion on EFU Zoning. Mr. Bratton reinforced his position
in regard to EFU zoning where he states he has no position, is taking no sides.
Mr. Bratton is trying to present the Board with some facts as to what impact will
be if the present zoning as we now understand it goes into effect and this would be
on evaluation and tax rate. Mr. Bratton stated that his job is to carry out the
assessment laws and do justice to the people as we realize the laws.On Friday Sept.,
14, 1979 Mr. Bratton made a presentation to the Board in which a study was made
on an isolated area that they were acquainted with and that they knew the number.
of properties that were presently under deferral and then the ones that they felt
would probably go under the EFU Zoning. Mr. Bratton said that his office was also
looking at it as a different point of view that the taxes within that area would still
be raised by someone in that area which made a drastic impact to the properties,
those who qualified for EFU and those who didn't. Mr. Bratton said that looking at
the situation on a more broad view Mr. Bratton is in agreement that taxes will not
go up in some areas. Mr. Bratton said his office has now tried to make a study
that has taken the whole county into consideration. Mr. Bratton said that when
EFU goes into effect the, the county will be transferring not only the tax burden
from one property like farm property to urban areas but also transferring part of
the burden to other counties so that there are overlapping taxing districts such as
COCC which is involved with Jefferson, Crook, Klamath and Wasco Counties. Mr
Bratton said that when Jefferson County gets it zoning into effect they will be
taking back part of their burden. Mr. Bratton went on to explain where he and his
staff got the figures for this study; 1977-78 tax study because he can only show
what would have happened if this had been in effect last year. Mr. Bratton
explained the County Wide Average Tax Rate Per Thousand Value--$16.53 and from the
summary sheet he has taken the total taxable value 1,140,201,000; also from the
summary sheet was taken the total taxes collected 18,848,000 and then the total
of all land and the total of all improvements 60-40% or a 3 to 2 ratio. For a
typical study property he is using a $50,000 property for easy figuring with
$30,000 worth of improvements on the land. Mr. Bartton went on to explain that using
this the total taxes would be 40% of $1,140,201,000. The tax burden to the land
would be $7,539,200. Market value in the assessed zone or deferred is very closely
80%. Market Value Assessed Acres-$6,031,300; Deferred Unzoned Farm Use
Acres (20%) 1,507,900. In talking about Market value we are talking about all the
land and only the land--the total land (Market value as well as deferred)
including sites is $364,873,500. Mr. Bratton came up with total value on all
(Unzoned and Deferred) Acres (includes site) $91,216,000. Value assessed Presently
Deferred Unzoned Farm Use Per Acre is $399. If EFU had been enforced in
1978-79 the total taxable value would be $1,140,201,000; the loss to Assessment
Roll in Value Due to EFU Zoning would have been $125,995,300 for a total of
1,014,245,700. Total Taxes to be collected this year 1979-80--$18,484,000;
divided by the net assessed value $1,014,245,700 gives the new county rate of
$18.58 per acre. A difference of $2.05.
There being no further business this day, the meeting was adjourned.
