BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
MARCH 5, 1980 COURTDAY MINUTES
Chairman Young called the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m. with all three commissioners
present.
Chairman Young stated that the first item on the agenda was the final hearing
for annexation to La Pine RFPD, Newberry Estates and Wild River. Chairman Young
read the order in this matter. Chairman Young opened the hearing after reading
the order--there being no one present to speak pro or con for the annexation, the
hearing was closed.

of La Pine Rual Fire Protection District.
COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Second.

The next item on the agenda was Jack Moore and dog biting. Chairman Young asked
the Dog Control Officer to give his report on this matter. The officer stated that
the dog in question has bitten three people on three separate occasions. The
dog is owned by Jack Moore. The officer requested that the dog be quarantined on
the owner's property for 13-15 days. The dog was inadequately quarantined and
went off the property. On February 19, 1980 Officer Meston and the Dog Control
Officer went to Mr. Moore's house and told him that the dog would have to be impounded.
The Dog Control Officer stated that he and Officer Mester are requesting that
the dog be humanely destroyed as it has bitten a number of people and could be
termed as viscious. Chairman Young stated that now it was time for Jack Moore to
give his side of the situation. Mr. Moore stated that he has owned the dog for
6 years and he believes that the reason the dog has such a high annoyance with
bicycle riders is that in 1979 the dog was run over by a bicycle by a couple of
kids. Mr. Moore concurred with the officers that the dog did bite someone in
1979 at which time it was quarantined. Mr. Moore asked the commissioners not to
have the dog destroyed as it is is children's dog and they are fond of him.
There was discussion about various ways of keeping the dog alive. Mr. Moore stated
that if the dog was allowed to live he would remove the dog from the city and
move it out to the country. Commissioner Paulson asked Mr. Moore if he could arrange
to build a kennel for the dog with a cement floor out in the country. Mr. Moore
stated that he could. Mr. Moore said that he would pay the medical bills for
the people that were bitten.
MOTION: COMMISSIONER PAULSON moved that the dog, if possible with the
animal shelter, be boarded at the pound for whatever fee is
required until a kennel is built. That kennel to be built of
cyclone fencing, inspected and approved by the dog control officer
prior to putting the dog into the kennel. The kennel is to be
in a rural area wherever it is to be kept. When the animal is
outside the kennel that it be under adult supervision not children's
With any future reports of biting reported to the dog control
officer, that the dog be impounded immediately and considered for
destruction.
COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Second.
A representative from the animal control board was present and he stated that he
would like a time limit added to that motion as to how long the dog would be
kept out at the shelter due to crowded conditions. Commissioner Paulson stated
that he would add to his motion that the boarding be two weeks maximum and if it
cannot be accomplished in that amount of time.inspected and approved by the dog
control officer, the dog be destroyed. The length of time was discussed and changed
to three weeks. Chairman Young said that he was concerned about if the time
limit was not met that the dog would be destroyed. He did not feel that that was
1
necessary to have the dog destroyed. Chairman Young wanted to delete the destruction
of the dog and if at the end of the 3 three weeks if the kennel is not built, then
the matter will be reconsidered. Commissioner Paulson said that if the dog control
officers are willing, then he would delete the time limit completely and leave it up
to their discretion to bring the matter back to the board's attention if it takes too
long. The officers concurred and so dial Chairman Young.

for discussion and that was regarding

Next on the agenda was Chairman Young with a discussion regarding a legislative
bill and it's effect on county agencies. Chairman Young stated that the county
was. running into a trememdous problem in being able to maintain our district court.
and circuit court. There was some communication between the State and Wasco
County in the matter of the State taking over the courts and having to pay for the
court-appointed attorneys. Of course, in doing that the State would also get
the revenue from district court fines. Chairman Young thought maybe that the State
could take over circuit court and the county could keep district court as it made
money for the county.Commissioner Shepard felt that it would be appropriate to keep
2
a close look at this development and see if it would be of some use to the county.
Commissioner Shepard stated that maybe the treasurer should be brought into some
discussion about this and see what she thinks. Commissioner Paulson stated that he
has discussed this with Mike Maier and that Mr. Maier is going over to Portland
to testify on related matters,and propose that the State take over both district and
circuit court as it would be to the county's advantage financially. Chairman
Young felt that if the State did take over the courts, he felt that the State should
pay something for rent for the facilities that the judge uses. He also felt that
in some way the county needed some revenue. There was a general concensus.
Commissioner Shepard saw that John Hossick was present in the audience and asked
the chairman if the next matter could be the one that Mr. Hossick was present for
as he was a "busy working man". That item was the appointments to the Bend Urban
Area Advisory Committee. The three commissioners gave their choices and then
five were chosen from those. The considered appointees are:

These names were given to John Hossick to put before the city commission and see if
