Discussion
Dick Nichols, Don Bramhill and John Glover came before
with DEQ re-
the Board to discuss the proposed contract. Mr. Glover
garding pro-
pointed out that paragraph 17 of the contract stated
posed con-
that if the County hires a sanitarian after July 1, that
tract
person must be a Waste Management Specialist. He said
that there are very few people with those qualifications
and the County may encounter some difficulty in filling
the position under that requirement. Mr. Nichols explained
that the reason this request was made was that there had
been some problems with denials that may not have been in
concordance with the rules. It is their feeling that by
requiring higher educational standards, these problems
may be averted. They want to get as many Waste Management
Specialists as possible in the program. They felt that
the best way to do this would be to make this a requirement
for new people hired. Mr. Glover noted that this was an
indefinite contract. Mr. Nichols added that it could be
amended or renegotiated at any time. Chairman Paulson asked
what would happen if a qualified person applied, but for
some reason the County did not want to hire that individual.
Mr. Nichols responded that DEQ is not in a position of
making the County hire someone it did not want to. Mr.
Nichols said that OSU is currently offering special soils
background curriculum and graduates of this program should
reach the job market in one or two years.

Deschutes County Board of Commissioners
May 5, 1981 - Regular Meeting
There was some discussion on sending the County's
current staff to attend some of these courses. Commis-
sioner Shepard noted that because of distance barriers,
it may create a hardship to send an employee to attend
these courses. Mr. Nichols indicated that their department
would not fund these courses, either the individual or
the County would have to be responsible. Mr. Glover
said that if the County is unable to hire a trained spec-
ialist, they may be required to hire a trainee. Under
those circumstances, the County may be required to pro-
vide funding for the courses required. Mr. Bramhill said
that they are not trying to place a burden on the people
who are in the program, but are trying to place these
educational requirements on entry-level employees.
After some further discussion, it was agreed that DEQ
would bring this back before the Board-at a later date.
Consideration
Chairman Paulson explained that Mrs. Dowdy-presented a
of Bike-a-thon
letter to the Commissioners seeking permission to use
permit for Jo-
County roads for the Bike-a-thon. The Bike-a-thon is
Anne Dowdy of
for the purpose for raising money for St. Jude's Children's
LaPine
hospital. The Board had no objections to this, and the
Road Department and the Sheriff's department approved as
well.
MOTION: SHEPARD moved to approve the Bike-a-thon permit
for JoAnne Dowdy of LaPine.
YOUNG: Second.
VOTE: PAULSON: AYE.
SHEPARD: AYE.
YOUNG: AYE.
Discussion
Commissioner Young explained that Steve Grim had been
regarding
in to see him regarding a problem in obtaining building
Vandervert
permits for lots in Vandervert Acres. He said that the
Acres
zoning had been changed from RR-10 to F-U. Under the
new Forest Use zoning, builders were required to obtain
a conditional use permit. Under the former RR-10 zoning,
housing was an outright use. This subdivision has been
in existence since June 6, 1977. The new zoning went
into effect in November of 1979. Since that time they
had been issued building permits up until last week.
John Andersen, Planning Director, explained that when
the rezoning wds done, they had gone by the Tax Assessor's
rolls. Evidently that subdivision was not yet noted on
the rolls at the time of rezoning, so the books did not
indicate that that land had been divided. He noted that
there was another subdivision in a similar situation.
Commissioner Young suggested that the County proceed
immediately with a plan change and zone change for subdi-
visions in this situation.
MOTION: YOUNG moved that the proper papers be drawn
by the Board of Commissioners on its own ini-
tiative. The County should proceed post-haste
to put Vandervert Acres back in.the proper
zone it should be.
SHEPARD: Second.
Mr. Andersen asked if he should proceed in the same man-
ner with other subdivision faced with a similar situation.

The Board agreed that he should.
VOTE: PAULSON: AYE.
SHEPARD: AYE.
YOUNG: AYE.
Mr. Isham said that the only problem they may have
with this is if someone decides to appeal, they may
lose on appeal. He said they run the risk of being
responsible for any expenditures that got them over-
turned on a higher level. He suggested that an emer-
gency clause be included in the ordinance. It will
take about two weeks just to get the hearing set up.
He said that at this point they could do everything,
plans examination for instance, up to the final handling
of the permit in the interim.
Other Staff/ There was a request before the Board from Mahlon Rohr-
Public Con- back that he be dropped from the Deschutes River Recreation
cerns Homesites Vector Control DistrictbBoard.- He suggested that
he be replaced by Mary Ann DeWitt.

Consideration Commissioner Young said that there was a person interested
of sale of in purchasing land, upon which was an abandoned road. He
County Land to said that the road was abandoned by Burlington Northern
Ronald Scott and had been formerly used as a railroad crossing. The
County owns a 50-foot easement fee simple. The legal des-
cription of the property is 17-12-16C tax lot 108. The
person interested in purchasing this property owns the
land adjacent to both sides. He wants to buy the property
outright, rather than request a road vacation. Commissioner
Young suggested that they direct the Assessor to appraise
it and proceed from there. Mr. Isham said they cannot
vacate a road that they own fee simple title to. This
is on Fred Myer Road. Chairman Paulson suggested giving
this to the Road Department for a recommendation. Mr.
Shepard expressed concern about closing off a crossing.
Commissioner Young agreed to seek a recommendation on this
from the Road Department.

between CMSI for the County Voter Registration. Mr. Isham had reviewed
and Deschutes and approved the contract. The estimated price was $8,000.
