Page 1 of 6 5e.5chutes County Board of Commissioners April 8, 1981 - Regular Meeting Discussion re- Mr. Isham gave some background information on this garding land matter, stating that on the land near LaPine they had trade between just traded with BLM, there was a gas transmission BLM and Des- pipeline right of way. The Pacific Gas Transmission chutes County Co., owner of line, was interested in entering into a right-o~f-way directly with the county, rather than dealing with the county and BL.M. They are requesting an increase in their current easement from 50 feet to 100 feet for an additional line they plan to put in in the next 3 to five years. They are concerned about proper casement of these pipelines if a road is constructed over them in the future. Floyd Welch representing the LaPine Industrial Committee was present and said that they eventually plan to build a reservoir and a road would be constructed over the pipeline. Ross Woodward, Pacific Gas Transmission Company, was present. He requested that the County execute a standard form of right-of-way agreement in conjunction with this land exchange. Mr. Isham said that the County should make sure ahead of time that it will be relieved of any costs for the necessary casement of pipes in the event that a road is constructed. Kim Ward was present and suggested getting participation from gas company in the cost of the casement because they have a lot of restrictions and requirements for this. He had had a personal exper- ience in which he had been required to provide this casing and it was prohibitively expensive. The Board agreed that Pacific Gas Transmission Company should be responsible for any expenses incurred by pipe encase- ment. Mr. Woodward said that h'i8 company_jwould b~.willing to accomodate.a 50-foot roadway. MOTION: YOUNG moved that the County acquire all the land from BLM and if there is any requirement for additional easement that the County deal dir- ectly with the gas company. SHEPARD: Second. VOTE: PAULSON: AYE. SHEPARD: AYE. YOUNG: AYE. Mr. Woodward said that the gas company would be glad to work with the County on anything they want to put across the pipeline. He said that they could put any kind of pipe across the line as long as it is one foot above or two feet below their line. Discussion re- Kim Ward, Crown Villa Mobile Home Park, came before the garding Solid Board to discuss the solid waste ordinance. He was con- Waste Franch- cerned that in light of the recent attention to the solid ise waste program, the franchises would be the only ones allowed to haul trash from the mobile home parks. Currently it is their practice to haul their own because they can do a more thorough job for less cost. He noted that the sanitation ordinances are written so that the park owner is responsible for any trash or litter on the grounds, as well as other rules like keeping lids;on cans. They can be cited themselves, yet if someone else is respon- sible for hauling their trash, they will have to go behind them and make sure the job was done right. They want to Page 2 of 6 Deschutes County Board of Commissioners April 8, 1981 - Regular meeting continue as they have been doing, because it is more cost efficient and the job is done better. He noted that there were 900 cans in his park and that the franchise charges $5.00 per month per can. He said that the cost would be so substantial that he would have to raise the rents in his park. Eddie Aston, Lowes Trailer Park, was also present. He expressed the same concerns that Mr. Ward had. Willard Fix, Riverview Trailer Park, also spoke. He said that it takes him one hour to do the job himself and he keeps it cleaner at a lower cost than it would be if he hired someone else to do it. Jay Johnson, Four Seasons and Juniper Mobile Home Parks, was also present. His parks do not currently charge for trash services, and did not think it fair that he should not be allowed to continue this service. There was some discussion between the Mobile Home Park Owners Association members and the Board. The Association members asked that they be advised of any more meetings which have solid waste issues on the agenda. Kim Ward also expressed interest in serving on the Solid Waste Advisory Committee. Discussion Jim Eriser, Secretary of this Special Road District, regarding came before the board to discuss a letter the district River Forest had received from the County in which the County agreed Acres Spe- to haul cinders as long as payment was made at the time cial Road the work was completed. This letter was dated March 26, District 1981 from Neil Hudson. The cost would be approximately Agreement $4,500. They do not have this amount available at this time and they would like to ask the Commissioner's ap- proval for 1/2 payment this year and the remaining 1/2 next year. Gene Price was also present on behalf of the road district and raised the quesion of borrowing the money from the County Treasurer. Chairman Paulson ex- plained that the County is no longer in a position to do this. There was some discussion on this. MOTION: SHEPARD moved that the.

Mr. Isham said that he had received a call from Dave Jaqua who was doing some research for w,contractor Page 3 of 6 Deschutes County Board of Commissioners April 8, 1981 Regular Meeting who was interested in this.

Page 5 of 6 Deschutes County Board of Commissioners Allril 8, 1981 - Regular Meeting Discussion Neil Hudson came before the Board to propose an al- regarding ternate plan for reducing expenditures in the solid two requests waste budget as outlined in a memo from him to the from Neil Board dated April 6, 1981. His proposal was to re- Hudson for duce staff instead of the 20% cutback, which would Solid Waste result in approximately $2000 less savings, but ex- anded hours of operation for the landfill sites. He proposed to lay off some caretakers and close an entrance to the landfill sites, leaving only one entrance to be attended. They will also lay off some of the Social Security employees and shorten the hours of operation at the dumps. There was some dis- cussion on the proposal. MOTION: PAULSON moved that they approve the recommen- dation from Neil Hudson, including the $10,000 in savings in Materials and Supplies. The motion died for lack of a second. Commissioner Shepard indicated that he was against making exceptions and Commissioner Young said that he was against the proposal because it involved lay-offs. Mr. Hudson expressed concern about closing the landfills for a day a week. He said that many people may make the trip to Alfalfa instead, and that landfill is almost used up. Commissioner Shepard suggested that they remain open all days, but reduce the hours of operation sufficently to meet the cutback. This was briefly dis- cussed. MOTION: PAULSON moved that they require all sites to be open at least partial days and that they have a $9,000 cut in personnel costs from this time until the end of the fiscal year. Every day they are currently open they would be open but they may not have full days open. SHEPARD: Second. VOTE: PAULSON: AYE. SHEPARD: AYE. YOUNG: AYE. Mike Maier said that they should notify those affected employees immediately of this action. He also briefly discussed the projected savings as a result of this action. MOTION: PAULSON moved that the personnel reductions be implemented April 24, 1981 and the notices go out to the employees immediately. SHEPARD: Second. VOTE: PAULSON: AYE. SHEPARD: AYE. YOUNG: AYE. Being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF '4 C Robert' ,C. -Paulson, Cha' a4,( /ss C0D9]`4I,,,S NEB, ' Clay pard, issioner _Albert Youn Co s' ner Page 6 of 6
