BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
JUNE 11, 1980 - DAILY MINUTES
Chairman Young called the meeting to order at 9:57 a.m. with Commissioner
Paulson still absent.
The first order of business was a review and decision in the matter of
Z80-5 with Adell Hoffman and Craig Smith of the Planning Department.
Chairman Young read the amendment for the record and Exhibit "A" in full
for the first reading and by title only for the second, noting Exhibit
"A". Commissioner Young then opened the hearing. Mr. Hoffman stated that
as.it is now, the bus.that comes by this road as mentioned makes two different
stopping points and hopefully this amendment would change that making only
one stop. Chairman Young asked for a motion.
MOTION: COMMISSIONER SHEPARD moved to approve the findings of
fact and to adopt the amendment to PL-15, MUA zone.
CHAIRMAN YOUNG: Second.
VOTE COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Aye.
CHAIRMAN YOUNG: Aye.
Next on the agenda was a review of road standards in Cimarron City 1st
Addition with Craig Smith and the Road Department. Mick Tye was also
present for this matter. Mr. Tye stated that the commission would remember
when Mr. Powell and he had come before them asking for some roads.to
be excluded in the paving when construction of them came around. Mr. Tye
is asking that certain roads be eliminated from needing to be constructed as
they do not tie into Mr. Powell's project. Chairman Young saw no problem
with that and neither did Commissioner Shepard. Chairman Young asked for
a motion but was told by Craig Smith that he would have to write an order to
amend the first amendment. Gary Judd of the Road Department had no problem
with this exclusion.
Next on the agenda was a discussion regarding Deschutes County concerned
Veterans. Chairman Young informed the audience of the rules in which the
meeting would be conducted. Everyone agreed. The first person to speak
was Mr. Robert Chambers, Bend who asked the commissioners four questions,
namely: 1) Why have you cut the employees out in the Veterans Service
office? 2) Why are you putting the Veterans Service office out south of
town two miles so that any veteran who needs service has to find an office
in an inconvenient,hard to find, remote location? 3) Why are you putting
the office on a second floor of a building so that the crippled or disabled
veterans don't have access to their services? 4) Is this an oversight on
the part of the commissioners or if this is an anti-veterans stance that
the county commissioners are taking. If so, do all of you on the commission
concur in this negative attitude toward the veterans of Deschutes County?
Mr. Chuck Myers of Bend had some comments to make. He stated that the
Veterans of Deschutes County brought in new money in VA benefits alone just
last year, over $2,000,000. Mr. Myers stated that the Veterans are an asset
to Deschutes County not a liability. Mr. Myers stated that it would not
work to have volunteers in the Veterans Office because all of those files are
confidential. Mr. Myers said that part-time help in the Veterans office
is tantamount to elimination. Mr. Myers believes that the 30% cut in the
office is unreasonable. Mr. Russ Williams of Bend stated to the commissioners
that the cuts that they are proposing date back 30 years or more. He
doesn't understand the need for that big of a cut.
At 10:30, Ms. Lydia Moore told the commissioners that District Courtroom,B
was available for the meeting, so Chairman Young adjourned the meeting and
the meeting was moved to that room.

Ed Farrell of Bend, Ms. Lydia Moore of Bend, Mr. Paul Lanser of Jefferson
County, Mr. Morin Day of Bend, Ms. Bonnie Rap, Ms. Sharlene Collier, Ms.
Belle Robley, Mr. Bob Samuel, Mr. Stan Logan. The commissioners then
answered all questions asked of them as clearly as possible. Chairman
Young told the veterans that at the budget meeting this afternoon he plans
to suggest that the full-time secretary be kept. That was met with applause.
The next item on the agenda was some requests for refund. Building, receipt
number 19400 for Lonny Gilbert for $149.76--approved. Sanitation, receipt
number 19400 for Lonny Gilbert for $40.00--approved.
