BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
DECEMBER 20, 1979 - DAILY MINUTES
Chairman Shepard called the meeting of December 20, 1979 to order at
10:03 a.m. with all three commissioners present.
The first item on the agenda was Request for Variance of Road Standards -
Apache Hills. Present for this discussion was,Paul Speck representing
Lee Bender and Gene Wyatt. Commissioner Paulson brought up a matter re-
garding the authority of the Board to waive road standards and the Hearings
Officer is the only one who can do this. There was some discussion over
this. Lynn McKibben, County Engineer read the section in county road specs
where the Board of Commissioners are the authorizing power to waive road
requirements under certain conditions. Mr. Speck asked for a continuance
in this matter as he had found new information but had not had time to go
over it completely.
MOTION: COMMISSIONER',YOUNG moved that the request for a
continuance be granted.
COMMISSIONER PAULSON: Second.
VOTE COMMISSIONER PAULSON: Aye.
COMMISSIONER YOUNG: Aye.
CHAIRMAN SHEPARD: Aye.
The date set for this continuance is Tuesday, January 8, 1980 at 11:00 a.m.
Next on the agenda was a discussion regarding Industrial Park Blvd. Over-
crossing Power Line Adjustment, Pacific Power & Light. Co. Lynn McKibben
told the Board that the Road Department has been notified by PP&L that they
are getting ready to reconstruct their power lines running parallel to the
railroad tracks north of Bend. The Road Dept. had told PP & L some time ago
that they had some plans and intent in the far future of possibly reconstructing
Industrial Park Blvd.so that it would cross the tracks at Nels Anderson area.
PP & L wrote back to the Road Dept. and asked that if they needed to have
those lines relocated in the future, to have PP & L do it now as it would not
cost as much. Lynn said that what he wanted from the Board, was for them
to concur with that proposition because Lynn believes that that structure will
be needed.
MOTION: COMMISSIONER YOUNG moved that the Board proceed with the
power company in the raising of the;-power lines-because
at this time it's cheaper and then the job will be done
for such time when a new bridge is built within 15% of
their estimate of $13,524.
COMMISSIONER PAULSON: Second.
VOTE COMMISSIONER PAULSON: Aye.
COMMISSIONER YOUNG: Aye.
CHAIRMAN SHEPARD: Aye.
Next on the agenda was a discussion regarding county grazing leases. Present
for this discussion was Bill Pruitt, Don Walker, Don Yager, Don Meltenburger,
Mrs. Craig, Donna Gill and some others. Lou summarized some of the lessees
leases for the Board along with how much each individual was paying before
the comprehensive plan was adopted. Now they are going to have to pay much
more. There was much discussion on how this was to be handled--if a bidding
session should be held or is a negotiations session will be held. Commissioner
Young stated that he was opposed to bidding sessions now. He believes that
the lands should be retained by the people who are now holding them.
MOTION: COMMISSIONER YOUNG moved that the Board renegotiate
the leases--those that have been canceled and those
that will be coming up for renewal that they be

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
renegotiated on the basis of the taxes for a period of
10 years with a two-year notification of any change in
status.
CHAIRMAN SHEPARD: Second.
There was a discussion on the motion.
Lou Dvorak suggested tabling the motion until he is able to get a liability
question clear for the County's sake. Mr. Dvorak told the Board that if a
fire were to start on County land and then spread onto private property,
the County could be held liable but he wasn't sure because that issue had not
yet been litigated. Chairman Shepard said then that on the advice of counsel,
it would seem best if the Board took no action on this matter until questions
become clear. The previous motion was moved for by Commissioner Young.
VOTE COMMISSIONER PAULSON: No.
COMMISSIONER YOUNG: Aye.
CHAIRMAN SHEPARD: No..
The meeting was adjourned until 1:30 p.m.
Chairman Shepard called the meeting to order at 1:45 p.m. with Bob Paulson,
Jill Thompson, and Jo-Marie Bonwell present. Commissioner Paulson had two
applications for business licenses.
MOTION: COMMISSIONER PAULSON moved approval of Bend Salvage
Company wrecking license, 64154 N. Hwy 97.
CHAIRMAN SHEPARD: Second.
VOTE COMMISSIONER PAULSON Aye.
CHAIRMAN SHEPARD: Aye.
Commissioner Young is not present; however, he has signed the application.
MOTION: COMMISSIONER PAULSON moved to approve the wrecking license
for Hiway Wrecking Company, 6455 N.E. 33rd in Terrebonne.
VOTE COMMISSIONER PAULSON: Aye.
COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Aye.
Jill Thompson had a matter that she had to bring up. Jill drew up an agreement
which has to do with a gentlmen who wants to mortgage part of his property;
however if he did he would be in violation of the zoning ordinances, so Jill
drew up an agreement between the County and this gentleman. This agreement
does not allow him to be able to resale the proerty. Jill said that the gentleman
involved needs to get his loan by the end of December and so she is now
bringing this before the Board.
MOTION: COMMISSIONER PAULSON moved that the Board approve the
agreement in the matter of Scott and Lee Durdan that
would allow them to get financing,on a-_5-acre parcel
of their 30 acres.
CHAIRMAN SHEPARD: Second.
VOTE COMMISSIONER PAULSON: Aye.
CHAIRMAN SHEPARD: Aye.
Jill stated that Abe knows what is going on and will probably sign the agreement.
Jill had another matter to bring up regarding Long Butte Tract. Mr. Baker,
the builder was supposed to finish the roads but never did, the DA prosecuted
him and received three separate judgments on him but has never been able
to collect any of them. He was required to post a bond in the amount of $8000
which he did; however, recently he went to the road department and asked for
his bond back which he received. The county has liability to the residents
of Long Butte tract since the road department released the bond. Jill asked
Lynn how much it would cost to go out and take care of the roads for the resi-
dents so that they would not become impassable this winter. Lynn said $13,800.
