The first item on the agenda was a petition for signature for promulgation of a rule to be sent to LCDC. Jill Thompson had presented this to each of the commissioners previously and had explained it to them. MOTION: COMMISSIONER SHEPARD moved to sign the petition and send it to LCDC. COMMISSIONER PAULSON: Second. VOTE COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Aye. COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Aye. CHAIRMAN YOUNG: Aye. Due to the fact that Representative Tom Throop has to be in Salem by 1:00 p.m., the discussion regarding senate bill 191, mobile home fees in mobile home parks was taken next. Chairman Young explained that the senate passed a bill recently that requires the yearly inspection of all mobile homes in mobile home parks for a fee of $4.75. Chairman Young stated that the Board of Commissisoners had received some letters from mobile home users against this bill. Letters were received from the following: Mrs. Mary Putnam with a two-page petition; Allens Riverview Trailer Park owners; Bob Schouten; La Pine Trailer Court, Mr. Stafford. Chairman Young then read a news release from Klamath County which. stated that this county would not enforce this fee. Tom Throop made a presentation in opposition to this bill. Mr. Throop said that he feels that if this fee is imposed then services should be provided; this fee will not secure further services for mobile home tenants; also, he feels that this is a discriminatory gesture towards people who reside in mobile parks. Mr. Throop stated that the next legislative session will be in January, 1981; therefore, it will be one whole year before Mr. Throop can "attack" this issue at the state level. Mr. Th.roop urges Deschutes County to follow Klamath County's lead and not enforce this fee. John Glover, County Sanitarian, then had a presentation to make in which he stated that the ORS states that the County will enforce such fees as provided by the State. Mr. Glover is opposed to this fee as the mobile is inspected thoroughly before the license is ever issued annually. Chairman Young then asked if there was anyone is the audience who had any comments to make in opposition to this bill. The following owners gave their comments: Willard Fix, Riverview Trailer Court; Eddie Astin, Lowell's Trailer Park; Jim Newton, Green Pastures, Redmond; Jim Dart, Desert Terrace Mobile Park, Redmond; Jay Johnson; Kim Warden, Crown Villa. The following tenants spoke.itt opposition Ellen Holroyd; Wilman Spencer; Dan Griggs; Tom Powell; Ken Glantz, Bldg. Official. Commissioner Paulson stated that he felt that Deschutes County should follow the example that Klamath County set but felt that their decision should be based on firmer evidence that the county will not be penalized. Commissioner Paulson introduced a motion to elimnate the annual inspection and that the Board have a document drawn up similar to Klamath County's stating that Deschutes County will not continue to collect the $4.75 fee as outlined in Senate Bill 191. Commissioner Shepard seconded this motion. Commissioner Shepard stated that he did not like to jump into these things and would like to wait until further information is known and the commissioner have had a chance to talk to county counsel. Com- missioner Shepard moved to table the motion until, a later date when more information is known. Commissioner Paulson seconded that motion. The vote was taken: Commissioner Shepard-aye, Commissioner Paulson-aye, Chairman Young-no. Repre- sentative Th.roop stated that he would make a phone call to Paul Bailey to find out if the County had to charge the fee or if they could discontinue doing so without being penalized. A short recess was declared. 1 BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS The commissioners reconvened the meeting, still waiting for Mr. Throop to report, and took up another matter regarding a zone change. Ms. Janet Moore told the Board that the Planning Department would not take her application for a zone change until she had talked to the commissioners. Ms. Moore stated that all around her home there are duplexes and she has been zoned such;--that no duplex can sit on her property; she would like to change it back to where a duplex can sit on it. Chairman Young and Commissioner Shepard advised Ms. Moore to go back to the Planning Department and file for a zone change and ask to have the fees waived. Next on the agenda was Howard Kraus, District engineer for the 7th Mountain Service District. Mr. Kraus presented to the Board'an order awarding the equipment contract to Richards of Rockford. Richards of Rockford had increased their original bid but they were still $16,000 less than the next lowest bidder. Mr. Kraus read the order for the Board. MOTION: COMMISSIONER PAULSON moved that the order be approved to award the bid to Richards of Rockford subject to approval by county counsel as he was not present. COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Second. VOTE COMMISSIONER PAULSON: Aye. COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Aye. CHAIRMAN YOUNG: Aye. Mr. Throop returned to the meeting to report on his phone call. He stated that Mr. Paul Bailey had informed him that it was the right and responsiblity of the county involved to either enforce or not enforce the fee. The ocunty reserves the right to state that the county is meeting adequate sanitary standards and it does not need the added fee. MOTION: COMMISSIONER SHEPARD moved to put the motion back on the floor. COMMISSIONER PAULSON: Second. VOTE COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Aye. COMMISSIONER PAULSON: Aye. CHAIRMAN YOUNG: Aye. Commissioner Paulson stated that he would like to rephrase his motion if the seconder will approve. Commissionter Shepard approved.

Commissioner Paulson told the other commissioners that due to an interanl mix-up four names were left off the commissioners lists when they appointed the comprehensive plan review committee.
