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. 1 Other veterans who had concerns were: Mr. Bill Elder of La Pine, Mr. Al Bauer of Bend, Mr. Robert Jernigan of Bend, Mr. Chet Myers, Mr. Duane Rold of Bend, Mr. Lee Steward of Bend, Mr. William Chalice of Bend, Mr. 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. The next item on the agenda was Jane Kirkpatrick with some contracts for signature.
