BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AUGUST 27, 1980 - BOARD MEETING
Chairman Young called the meeting`to order at 10:00 a.m. with all three
Commissioners present.
The first item on the agenda was a public hearing regarding the closure
of Tw n:~.Bridges Bridge. Neil Hudson stated that the matter was brought up
at the Budget Meeting whether to pay for the reconstruction of the bridge,
which would be about $80,000.00 on the part of the County, or to close the
bridge. A counter had been placed on the bridge for a week, showing an
average of 90 cars per day traveling across the bridge. The proposal for
a replacement of the bridge would be a two-lane concrete bridge. Chairman
Young opened the public hearing for those in favor of closing the bridge.
As-there were no comments, Chairman Young opened the hearing for those
opposed to the closure of the bridge. The following persons gave testimony:
Ben"Gardner: Ben stated that he has fields on the other side of the river
and needs the bridge for access to haul his machinery to those fields. He
is not in favor of closing the bridge because he does not wish to haul his
machinery 6 3/4 miles out of the way.
Wilma Low: Wilma stated that she uses the bridge five times a week. She
stated--that they use the bridge to get their cattle to the pasture. She was
very much against the closure.
Darrell Davidson: Darrell stated that he is against the closure as he uses
the bridge very often.
Coleen Haggerty: Coleen stated that she uses the bridge constantly. She does
not wish to see it closed.
A letter was presented to Chairman Young at this time from a resident that
could not make the meeting. The letter stated that he was not in favor of
closing the bridge and that it would result in financial impact on travel
expenses for those who always use the bridge. The letter was written from
John Carstens.
Vince Springer: Vince stated that they use the bridge to take guests across
the river to the ranch when the river is high. Vince is a 'Wrangler for the
ranch and uses the bridge quite often for his horse riding groups.
Cindy Springer: Cindy stated that the bridge is used by the maids for the
ranch, as they live close because the bridge provides convenient means to
get to the ranch.
Shirley Watkins: Shirley has land on both sides of the river and stated that
she needs the bridge for guests that cannot walk.
Chuck Low: Chuck feels that the distance of 6-,3/4 miles per car at 90 cars
a week would be a waste of fuel alone, also a greater expense for those using
the bridge presently.
Being no`further comment, the public hearing was closed and the Board con-
tinued discussion and question on the matter. Commissioner Paulson questioned
whether it would be feasible to have the Deschutes River Ranch help with the
cost if the bridge would be reconstructed. Neil Hudson stated that this has
not been done in the past as far as bridges are concerned. Commissioner
Shepard stated that the reason for the closure was because of cost, but he
can see that the closure would be a big inconvenience for those living in that
area.
