The first item on the agenda was a discussion regarding the proposed budget revision for Family Counseling with Sandy Maynard. Ms. Maynard informed the commission that she was present today to tell them that they are not to sign any contracts for their department because of the State budget cuts and some program elimination. She had a copy of the contract that they would have signed if funds had been avail- able. There was no action taken. The next item on the agenda was a discussion regarding MP 79-207 with Craig Smith and Dan Heierman, applicant. As Mr. Heierman was not present, Mr. Dick Clark was representing him. Mr. Clark informed the commission of his problem which was that the parcel that he wanted to partition is less that 40 acres and he needs to leave room for an easement but cannot get approval under the old ordinance which he must go under since he applied before November 1, 1979. Mr. Clark obviously interpreted the ordinance differently from the commission and asked for their perusal of his problem. Chairman Young was of the mind that the Board could waive this and approve the partition for Mr. Clark. .Commissioner Paulson was not sure that the Board should do so because of other cases that have come before them previously. Commissioner Paulson suggested applying for a variance to see if it could be done now under the new ordinance. Chairman Young announced that he would entertain a motion to approve the partition. A motion was not made to that effect. Commissioner Shepard stated that he would like legal counsel to look this matter over and advise them. Chairman Young agreed and told Mr. Clark that the matter would be given to legal counsel and Mr. Clark would be advised when the matter would be on the agenda again. The next matter for discussion was an Assurance of Non-Discrimination in the matter of Resort Buslines, Inc. Chairman Young read the docu- ment. Commissioner Shepard stated that he had some problems with this document as it states that the busline will not discriminate against handicapped persons but it makes no provision to help them. The commission agreed to have legal counsel look this over. Myer Avedovech, Deschutes County Hearings Officer had a matter that he wanted to discuss with the commission regarding his hearing last night. He stated that the problem arose when an applicant had tried to build a house on his property and found out that his neighbors had built a house on their lot 3 years ago but were in violation of the setbacks. Mr. Avedovech found out that when the Building Department makes their inspection and the lot is 2 acre or larger, they do not check the setbacks and this is a policy in their office. Mr -vedovech further stated that he did not feel that this was a good policy for the Building Department to have because in effect, what this policy says is that anything over k acre lot in size, the county does not care if the appli- cant accedes to the requirements set out. Mr. Avedovech stated that he felt he should make the commission aware of this matter and see if it can be straightened out once and for all. The commission thanked Mr. Avedovech for advising them of this matter. 1 . C Commissioner Shepard had a matter that he wished to discuss with the commission concerning the resignation of Pat Ross from the Bend Urban Area Advisory Committee.

Commissioner Shepard had another matter to discuss regarding the resignation of Grace Elder and John Norlund from the Central Oregon Housing Authority.

Commissioner Paulson stated that their are a number of employees reaching that age and felt that some contact should be made with them as to their future plans. Chairman Young asked if the retirement hadn't been raised to 70. Commissioner Shepard stated that he was a firm disbeliever in force retirement. Commissioner Paulson stated that he was also aware of some persons who were not 65 and who wished to retire early. He said that some contact should be made with them so that some action can be initiated for the county. Commissioner Shepard asked Commissioner Paulson to check into the age of forced retirement and also to register his vote against it. Commissioner Paulson stated that he is in the process of pulling all the information that had been given to him and Mike from various offices in the county so that the personnel rules can be revamped. He will get back to the commission on this matter soon. Chairman Young asked that before he gets in contact with any persons relating to.retirement that the date of retirement be checked. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 4F" AL A OUNG air CLAY EPARD, Comm ssioner 3
