Request for Rick Isham briefly explained the background of this re-
an Easement quest. He said that he had sent letters to interested
agencies to notify them of the request. Norm Thompson
came before the Board to request a right-of-way across
County land. He has an existing right-of-way, but to
build on this would require the removal of many trees,
and the back porch on a neighbor's home. His existing
driveway is not a legal road. He said that there is
currently a trail across the County property, he wants
to get this trail legalized providing him with a legal
easement. He requested that he be granted an easement
across the County property from his land to Highway 97.
He showed this area on a map. Mr. Hudson said that some

of this property is owned by State Parks, and he
would also have to obtain their approval before any
action could betaken. John Andersen said that the
State Parks has plans to develop this area, and agreed
that Mr. Thompson needed to obtain clearance from the
Parks Department. Chairman Paulson suggested having
the Planning Department and Road Department submit a
recommendation. He said that they will get together with
State Parks and other involved agencies and get back
to Mr. Thompson with the information.
Discussion John Andersen briefly explained the request by Central
regarding Electric Co-op. They would like an easement to put in
Central Elec- an overhead line rather than an underground line, because
tric Co-op the cost of an underground line would be extreme. He
Easement recommended approval of the request.
MOTION: YOUNG moved to grant the right-of-way easement
to Central Electric Co-op.
SHEPARD: Second.

-Discussion
Chairman Paulson explained that a memo from the Board had
with Ken
been sent to Mr. Glantz, dated February 3, 1981. Mr.
Glantz re-
Glantz had responded by memo dated March 24, 1981.
garding op-
Chairman Paulson began by expressing concern about the
eration of
enforcement of mechanical codes. He suggested that the
Building
inspectors should be cross-trained in order to provide
Dept. and
the department with more expertise in the mechanical codes
Menlo dated
field. Mr. Glantz said that he only has one person qualified
3/24/81
to apply for a mechanical code license and he could only
qualify for a "B" level license. He said that if the
County accepted the mechanical code inspections (currently
being done by the State) they would need to hire an
additional person to accomodate the additional workload.
There was some discussion on the most efficient means of
performing inspections, in terms of area and how many
inspectors are in the field at a given time. Mr. Glantz
also explained a little about the mechanical inspections
and what is involved. He said that they would need an
"A" level mechanical inspector if they undertake mechan-
ical inspections. Chairman Paulson said that they need
some policy directive from the Board regarding what staff
they want and what level of expertise they want. Commis-
sioner Shepard felt that mechanical inspection should be
the first consideration, and if that person had other
capabilities as well, that would also weigh-in that per-
sonl~s favor. There was some discussion on fees to be
charged and estimated changes in revenue as a result of
adding mechanical responsibilities to the department.
There was some further discussion on training of the in-
spectors presently on board, and the qualifications to
be required of an additional inspector. There was also
some discussion on whether or not the County should agree
to accept the responsibility of the mechanical inspections.

There was some discussion on item #8 of the Board's
memo and Mr. Glantz's response. Mr. Glantz said that
his department will make an effort to cross-train its
inspectors, either by attending classes in the area
if they are offered, or by attending classes in the
valley during a slack period in the department.

Other Staff/ Dale Crawford came before the Board to request that
Public Con- he be allowed to use pit run material for the construc-
cerns
tion of roads within Dale Acres, a subdivision. Gary
Road Stan-
Judd, Public Works Department, said that this material
dards for
was commonly used rock and they want to revise their
Dale Acres
road specifications to include this material, however
the current specifications specifically excludes this
material from those allowed. The current specifications
require that the rock must have a fractured face.
Mr. Isham said that Mr. Crawford could apply for a
variance in order to do this, but the Board could not
approve something based on the fact that they intend to
re-write the rules.'
Discussion
regarding
Special Road
District #1
The County had provided this special road district with
a vacant lot to store their road equipment, but because
of the lot's isolation, there had been some problems with
vandalism. The road district is requesting that they
exchange this lot for another one less isolated. Mr.
Isham said that if they agree to an exchange, a public
notice must be published and they should decide in advance
who will be responsible for those costs. Chairman Paulson
suggested that Pat Pilcher review the parcels to be ex-
changed to make sure that they are of equal value. John
Andersen said,,that there would also be a site plan re-
quirement because of the nature of the proposed use. It
was the Board's decision to refer this matter to Pat Pil-
cher for his recommendation.

volved. Chairman Paulson said that they could only cut

Resolution Mr. Isham recommended that instead of adjourning today's

tion for bud- look at this item. Chairman Paulson agreed to recess
get levies the meeting until 3:00 when they meet with the Budget
Board.
The meeting recessed until 3:00 p.m.
Following meeting with the Budget Board, the meeting re-
convened. The first items were Resolutions #81-032 and
#81-033 regarding the budget levies. Jack Oliver said
that it was his feeling that the budget should read on
the ballot that the levy will be on assessed value rather
than true cash value. Rick Isham explained the laws
governing this,
MOTION: YOUNG moved that the ballot read that the levy
shall be at a rate per thousand assessed value.

accompany the levy on the ballot. Mr. Isham ex-
plained that there was a conflict between what was
mandated by State Law and the administrative direct-
ive on this. The administrative directive required
that it be included with a prescribed text. State
Law does not require it. It was felt that the wording
would cost some votes if it were included on the ballot.
MOTION: YOUNG moved that they follow Oregon Revised
Statutes rather _.than_administrative rule and
not include it.
