The second item on the agenda was a presentation by Mr. Norm
Raphael of Gibbons company on unemployment. His presentation involved
discussion on unemployment claims and the way Gibbons Company handles
them. At present the County uses the direct reimbursement method to
handle unemployment claims. Mr. Raphael related that they could use
alternative methods which would also involve representation in a
court case should it become necessary. The Gibbons Company would
handle all the necessary cases, and paperwork and also does a
thorough checkup on the unemployment applicatant. The cost for the
County to deal with Gibbons Company would be about 3~ per hundred
dollars paid.to County employees. This would come to be around
$5,400.00, payable quarterly, which is noted to be less than what
the County itself spends on unemployment in the past. All mileage,
and other work by the Gibbons Company is included in the initial
fee. Chairman Young suggested that Mr. Raphael leave some material
on this with Mike Maier to review at a later date. Discussion was
then ended.
Next, Mr. Neil Hudson of the Road Department held a discussion on
the Road Department budget. Commissioner Paulson read the document
dated July 25, 1980 stating proposals for the Road Department budget.
One discussion on the budget was regarding Twin Bridges. There is
$81,000.00 proposed to restore the bridge so that it doesn't get to
the point where it will deteriorate and collaspe. Commissioner Shepard
questioned :--spending so much on a bridge that isn't used.- much
and would it be necessary. If not, couldn't the bridge just be closed
down. It was decided that a public hearing would have to be held to
discuss this matter in more detail and notify the neighbors around the
bridge. A date was not yet set for this hearing. Another discussion
on the budget was on the Terrebonne oil mats. These are on public
ways and is the one on which an agreement was made with the Farm Home
Administration to do this. In was in the budget earlier but was never
gotten around to because of the fact that rock was not delivered up
there. The developer up there is obligated to pay for a part of it,
and the FHA is trying to get the County to follow up on their part of
the agreement to do the roads. This mostly contains raising some
foundations. But if the road is left the way it is the problem will
not be totally resolved. The road needs an oil mat on it so as not
to have drainage problems. This would not include doing ditching on
this project. It is budgeted though, that under emergency situations
we are legally eligible to go in and do this. Chairman Young stated
that he was in favor of this project. Also discussed was regarding
Knott Road to do base paving using our own men and equipment. County
costs are budgeted for this at $100,000.00. Because of the short haul
to the cinder pit nearby it would be able to be completed inexpensively.
Another topic discussed on the Road Department budget was regarding
Dodd's Bridge out towards Alfalfa. This road is an only route, with
long detours surrounding. This bridge is already restricted to 10
tons. The budgeted cost for this project is $29,000.00. The next
item mentioned on the Road Department Budget was a project on Denser
Road. There is a budgeted $325,000.00, which is to bring the road
up to County standards. Commissioner Shepard had some question as to
whether this amount would bring it up to the standard. This cost will
not bring it up to City standards. The City estimates this cost at
$400,000.00. Neil Hudson proposed to give the city the $325,000.00
budgeted from the Road Department and let them do the building of
Denser Road all the way up to Butler Road, which would then be in the
County. The project is not proposed for this summer, but for next
year. Neil had not taken this to the City because he wanted to talk
with the Board on this matter first. The discussion was ended deciding
to set up a public hearing on the matter of Twin Bridges and notifying
the surrounding neighbors.
The next item on the agenda was a discussion on the reorganization
of the Public Works Department presented by Neil Hudson.
MOTION: COMMISSIONER PAULSON moved to approve the
reclassification and reorganization of the
Department outlined in the July 25, 1980 meeting.
COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Second.
VOTE COMMISSIONER PAULSON: Aye.
COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Aye.
CHAIRMAN YOUNG: Aye.
The next item discussed was on the 208 Water Study Program in LaPine.
It was decided to set up a Technical Advisory Committee to work on
this project. Commissioner Shepard read the list of people recommended
for this committee: Kent Methiot, Larry Chitwood, Dick Nichols,
Bob Paeth, John Glover, John Andersen and Bob Main.
MOTION: COMMISSIONER PAULSON made a motion to approve
the appointment of the people above mentioned.
COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Second.
VOTE COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Aye.
COMMISSIONER PAULSON: Aye.
CHAIRMAN YOUNG: Aye.
Commissioner Shepard brought up a discussion on the differences on
Sanitary Districts and Special Sewer Districts. Special Sewer Districts
put more obligation on the County than do Sanitary Road Districts.
Kay Nelson of LaPine is working on a special sewer district, which
there is a hearing scheduled for August 6, 1980 at which this will be
presented. This was under discussion for information that might want
to be researched before the hearing on August 6.
Next discussion.was some confusion on the Comprehensive Plan project and
the land use application filing date.. There is no definite filing date on
them. Commissioner Paulson had some concern in this and will be talking
to Mr. John Andersen, Planning Director, about this matter. He expressed
concern to establish a County definition on what the actual filing date
is.

The next item to be discussed was an Order to institute a cost of
living adjustment increase to all county employees not already out
of their respective salary range. The Order did not state an
exclusion of the three commissioners. This is to be amended in the
order.
MOTION: COMMISSIONER PAULSON moved to approve the 11%
increase for cost of living with the exception
that a clause be added to the order to exclude
the three commissioners.
COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Second.
VOTE COMMISSIONER PAULSON: Aye.
COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Aye.
