The first item on the agenda was a discussion regarding space in the Courthouse. Judge Copenhaver expressed his concern that he really needs the space that is occupied by the polygraph, depending on what the priority is. His docketing clerk is presently in the lobby, where she is constantly distracted by noise and interruptions. There was a couple alternatives suggested by the Board. The first was to see if it would be possible to set up something in the large Conference Room. It there could be a permanent file established in there, the times for the polygraph could be scheduled, therefore not allowing any meetings to be set up at this time. Darrell Davidson stated that the room was actually too big for the polygraph. Another suggestion was to check with the State to see how busy they were with their polygraph, as we are permitted to use it without cost. This would also help the County with their cutback. Darrell Davidson will be checking on these alternatives and Wednesday, August 13 is set for the course of action. The second item on the agenda was in regards to collection rates for Solid Waste Franchisers presented by Neil Hudson of the Road Department. The report was reviewed by the Board previous to the meeting. Neil stated that the increase in charges would not be effective until the 1st of August, 1980. The order was signed August 7, but would be retroactive to August 1. MOTION: COMMISSIONER PAULSON moved to approve the order. COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Second. VOTE COMMISSIONER PAULSON: Aye. COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Aye. CHAIRMAN YOUNG: Aye. The next item on the agenda was in regards to a land trade between Deschutes County and Mr. Melvin Loy. Commissioner Shepard mentioned that Mr. Loy wants a piece of property on Century Drive which is owned by the county in trade for a piece of land he has in Tumalo. The land in Tumalo has river frontage. Melvin felt that because the county wants to preserve river frontage that we would be in favor of the trade. Commissioner Shepard suggested that Mr. Loy should have the property appraised and that he be responsible for the appraisal. Commissioner Paulson mentioned that we should wait until the Bend Urban Area plan has been revised into final stage, as it would raise the value of the county's piece of property. It was suggested by Chairman Young that if the County did decide to make the trade that Melvin trade another piece of land with the Tumalo piece or possibly a cash trade. Commiss- ioner Shepard will be contacting Melvin Loy and letting him know that we are interested and that he should be the one responsible for the appraisal. Next on the agenda, Doug Maul held a discussion on the selling of some County property. The property is bordering on Division Street. A motel operation has bought the Pilot Butte Motel, has tied up the property behind the county's, and is in process of buying up all the surrounding property. The property is 100 feet deep and 200 feet along the border of Division Street. If all the property around the -County's is bought up, it will reduce the value of the property owned by the County. The property is presently appraised at $62,500.00, which is including the building, fence and land. It was suggested that the County contact Steve Scott, who is handling the sale of the Luchenbell's property next to the County's land. Commissioner Paulson stated that it wouldn't be beneficial to go through a realtor because of a commission fee. Doug stated that the realtor has done a pretty good job so far in selling the other property to this operation. Mike Maier stated that if we do not sell the land to this operation, that it would not be worth much at all, as all the surrounding land is being bought by them. Chairman Young.suggested that Doug Maul contact Mr. Scott and let him know that we are interested in talking with him to possibly get a package together. Commissioner Shepard said he was in favor of at least talking with Mr. Scott. Doug Maul will contact Mr. Scott on the matter. Next item discussed was on the matter regarding a memo sent to Mr. Russ Chase regarding extension of employment after retirement age. Commissioner Shepard stated that he did not agree with the policy of automatically terminating an employee after he has reached retirement age. The policy gives the Board the opportunity to make a decision regarding'an employee's extension after retirement age on the basis of one-year increments. Chairman also stated that he did not agree with the policy. Commissioner Paulson mentioned that the entire Personnel Policies would be reviewed in the next few weeks. He suggested that this matter be brought up after the review which would include this particular policy. The next item on the agenda was in regards to the Appraisal Policy presented by Oscar Bratton. He expressed his concern to change the policy of appraisal by an individual. He is going to be losing nine more employees next month and wanted to change the policy that someone could just come in and request an appraisal of their property located in the county. The change requested would be that any appraisal involving county land and individual land would require the individual to have their own property appraised. MOTION: -COMMISSIONER PAULSON moved to accept _the-new _policy_ that--- _ in future County land sale transactions between the County and an --individual, that the individual involved be responsible for providing a market value appraisal at his own expense. COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Second. VOTE COMMISSIONER PAULSON: Aye. COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Aye. CHAIRMAN YOUNG: Aye. Oscar also mentioned that he has some appraisers that will be terminated due to lack of funds, who have asked if they might be allowed to work as volunteers with the county. The possibility of half-time pay or partial benefits was also asked about. Commissioner Shepard said that this was something to.check in to. Neil Hudson of the Road Department brought before the Board a Notice of Proposed Assessment for approval and signature. This was regarding the estimated assessment for Sundance LID. Commissioner Paulson requested to be excluded from this discussion as he owns property in Sundance. Memos on estimated assessment are to be sent to all people mentioned on the list, owning or residing in Sundance East. MOTION: COMMISSIONER SHEPARD moved to approve the notice. CHAIRMAN YOUNG: Second. VOTE COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Aye. COMMISSIONER PAULSON: ABSTAIN. CHAIRMAN YOUNG: Aye. --2-- "1. { Next on the agenda, was a request for refund from the Building Department for Dale Gary who had paid building fees and could not get financing.
