BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
APRIL 2.3, 1980 - DAILY MINUTES'
Chairman Young called the meeting of order at 10:03 a.m. with all three
commissioners present.
The first item on the agenda was a discussion regarding existing road through
an approved subdivision, Odin Crest; alignment and grade with Dave Hoerning.
Dave explained to the commissioners where his subdivision is in relation to
neighboring subdivisions. In June, 1979, Dave wrote the Board a letter with
regard to what he thought the standard specifications were in Deschutes County
with regard to primary access roads, to ask for a variance on that requirement.
Commissioner Shepard wanted to hear from the Road Department and get a recom-
mendation from them. Gary Judd was present and said that if a grade is over
12%, the department does not like to see it paved as it makes it very slippery
in the wintertime next to a curve. Dave's grade on the road he wants a
variance on is 14%. Dave is asking for a variance from having to pave the
road in a prior subdivision; he is willing to reconstruct the road in his
subdivision to make the grade lower. Dave pointed out the various costs of
paving a road and how much it gets passed on.to the consumer. Commissioner
Paulson stated that he did not see how this matter was much different from
others that have come in before the Board. Bernie Sutton, surveyor, was present
and gave a few comments regarding the difficulty of driving in snow if the
road would be paved on that much of a grade. Commissioner Paulson asked
Gary if Dave could be required to pave that road. There was some discussion
over the road specifications as there had been an amendment in 1978 that
Dave was not aware of and specifically stated that the Commissioners could not
grant a variance unless two conditions were met, which they were not.
MOTION: COMMISSIONER PAULSON moved that the request for a variance
in the primary access road standards be denied.
COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Second.
VOTE COMMISSIONER PAULSON: Aye.
COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Aye.
CHAIRMAN YOUNG: No.
Next on the agenda was a discussion of Federal legislation with regard to fund
allocation of forest receipts with Bob Paulson. Commissioner Paulson stated
that there was a document advising the Board of some allocation changes that the
Board should be aware of, but that as Commissioner Paulson could not find the
document, he would do his best to inform the commissioners what he remembered.
This document had to do with.some bills that are coming before Congress, that
would take out the requirement that the forest receipts go to schools and the
road department. One option is to pass the bill that says the receipts will go
to the county to do with whatever they see fit and the other is to have the
school portion specified but the rest of it would go to the county to do as they
please. Commissioner Paulson thought that it was the AOC that had called the
county for their opinion. Commissioner Paulson is opposed to the aspect of
taking the schools out completely and is undecided about the road department.
Chairman Young felt that it was unwise to "undedicated dedicated funds" to the
road department and schools. Commissioner Shepard agreed with.Chairman Young
on this matter. Commissioner Paulson will call Kess Cannon with. regard
as to how the county feels on this issue. A letter will be drafted to this
effect also.
Next matter that came up in the meeting was a matter that Mike Maier wanted to
discuss with. the Board concerning the agenda for the Board's meetings and other
matters with. regard to the running of the office. Mike had drafted up some
ideas and wanted to get the Board's opinion of them before he went too far but
1
i -;e -
would like to explain what he meant by this draft. The ORS states that the
Board need only hold meetings once a month. on the 1st Wednesday of each
month. and as the Board so designates. Mike had proposed that Thursday after-
noon could be used as a work session for the Board at which time Mike could
ask the Board for directives and information. The Thursday meeting in the
morning could be lhour. Commissioner Shepard opposed the Thursday afternoon
meetings; he would rather have the regular meeting and then, adjourn it and hold
the work session then with a spillover into the afternoon if necessary.
Mike said that these work sessions would use less secretarial time as the
secretary would not have to sit in the work sessions. Mike suggested getting
back. to the idea of having anyone who wants.to be put on the agenda to fill
out a "pink" slip to get on the agenda with prior information to the
Board and solved in one meeting. Mike said that the departments could be
responsible for getting orders together and brought into the Board for their
signature rather than having to hold a second meeting. Mike asked the Board
to go through the recommendations and then they could get back to him and
discuss it.
Next on the agenda were some minor and major land partitions:

Commissioner Paulson had another matter that he wanted to bring up and discuss
with. regard to a phone call that he had received from Jean Paggett. Ms.
Paggett had a complaint with. regard to a "block" that had been put up on Buck
Canyon Road. Apparently the gentlemen wh.o lives at the top of the hill feels
that the where the road runs around a blind curve is his property and is tired
of letting people drive over it so he has placed a "I-beam" in the road.
Commissioner Paulson had contacted Dick.Boller of the Road Department and has
had signs places in the vicinity to warn oncoming traffic of the obstruction.
VOTE COMMISSIONER PAULSON: Aye.
2
Chairman Young felt that an order should be issued ordering the "I-Beam" being
taken down. Commissioner Shepard agreed that the main objective now should be
taken out of the road as it was a traffic hazard to the general public.
Commissioner Shepard said that he would call Dick Boller and see what else is to
be done and will all Jean Paggett also.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
