Commissioner Shepard was not in attendance at this meeting. The first item on the agenda was a discussion with Helen Durant regarding the cost report for last fiscal year and the Hospice contract. Helen stated that their report shows an income last year of $99,000. and the expenditures of $97,000. She related that they are doing alright and they are maintaining their budget where it should be. She requested that the Board consider hiring Sally Munger for full-time. She is presently working part-time. Helen stated that the Home Health Department should have enough money to hire Sally onto full-time. Helen feels this would help bring in more money, as there will be more people available to help the people with services. Commissioner Paulson stated he did not see any reason not to hire her on full-time, but would like the Health Department to closely watch their budget and report it to the Board occasionally. The concensus of the Board was to allow the hiring of Sally Munger to a full-time position instead of a part-time position. Helen also discussed the possibility of entering into the Hospice Contract. This would be a contract for the exchange of services. Helen stated that Hospice is mainly a home care program, and will probably be active by the end of January, 1981. She stated that we will provide skilled nursing for them and would be using their volunteers for things we cannot provide at this time. The contract would be a six-month contract until July, 1981. The Commissioners agreed that it sounded good at this time.. Helen will bring in the contract for the Board's signature at a later time. The second item on the agenda was the 1st reading and possible adoption of Ordinance No. 80-228 amending the Redmond Urban Area Zoning Ordinance. Rick.Isham stated that as a result of forming the Redmond Urban Area Planning Commission, a number of the County Ordinances need to be amended to make the jurisdiction of Deschutes County Planning Commission limited to outside the urban growth boundary and showing that appeals inside the urban boundary must go before the Urban Area Planning Commission. John Andersen stated that these ordinances are just to clarify a decision made prior by the Board. John felt that the changes made to justify the urban area planning commissions were good and should be approved. The hearing was opened. John Andersen stated that relating to a discussion with Carole Connell of Redmond, that the planning staff should have some decision in site plan reviews. John feels the staff has adequate resources and expertise to make these decisions. The ordinance stated that the Commissions will be making these decisions and that a design review committee be formed to help make these decisions. John has requested that the Board change this ordinance to allow the staff to make site plan review decisions, and that a design committee be formed and the staff should refer major site plans to the design committee for their review. Commissioner Paulson suggested that John Andersen's recommendations have already been incorporated into the paragraph, but just needs to be made more clear and understandable. This would not be a change to the ordinance, but just a change in the wording. There was not any testimony given in opposition to the ordinance. Rick Isham will make the necessary wording changes and suggested that the Board continue their decision until tomorrow. 2 MOTION: COMMISSIONER PAULSON moved to continue the decision on Ordinance #80-228, Ordinance #80-229, #80-230 and #80-231 until tomorrow morning, December 31, 1981, at 10:00 A.M. CHAIRMAN YOUNG: Second. VOTE COMMISSIONER PAULSON: AYE. CHAIRMAN YOUNG: AYE. The postponement of this decision was due to a possible conflict of votes with only two commissioners present. The decision will be made with all three commissioners present. At this time Rick Isham discussed matters relating to bond sale, bond rating and bond counsel. This discussion was in regards to the firm presently used by Deschutes County for bond counsel. Rick questioned if there was any reason to continue to use that firm and asked if they might possibly switch to the other Oregon bond counsel. Rick stated that he has dealt with the other firm a lot and feels that he could do good work with that firm now. The current situation deals with bonds for improvement LTD's for roads within the County. In order to sell bonds, we have to get a bond rating by submitting a total financial factor for the county. The rating will make a difference in terms of actual interest for the bonds. Rick stated that in his opinion, you cannot sell the amount of bonds proposed without a very good rating. Also discussed was issuance of bond sales prior to contracting the project. MOTION: COMMISSIONER PAULSON moved to instruct Rick Isham to contact the bond counsel of his choice and that the Board through Rick instruct the Road Department to get LTD's on line as soon as possible and we let all of the bonds for sale at one time, and not have any contracts for LTD's initiated prior to receipt of sold bonds. CHAIRMAN YOUNG: Second. VOTE COMMISSIONER PAULSON: AYE. CHAIRMAN YOUNG: AYE. For signature was Resolution #80-233 establishing a transportation grant fund and making appropriations. MOTION: COMMISSIONER PAULSON moved to approve Resolution #80-233. CHAIRMAN YOUNG: Second. VOTE COMMISSIONER PAULSON: AYE. CHAIRMAN YOUNG: AYE. Also for signature was Resolution #80-231, establishing a petty cash fund for Home Health. This fund would be for $50.00 to use for minor expenditures in the Home Health Department.
