an alternate fifth member. He explained that the com-
Deschutes

County Surface
industry, two adjacent residents to a surface mine, and
Mining Commit-
alternates for each side. It was felt by the committee
tee
that the fifth member should have an alternate, since
it is possible that that person may have a deciding vote
on some issues. He said that Dr. Vetter of Redmond had
volunteered to serve on the committee, but his office
is located near a surface mine, so he was not considered.
The other two who volunteered were Bob Naidis and John
Evans. Mr. Naidis has a B.A. in Environmental Biology
and has taken several classes on Central Oregon Geology.

elopment of
of the Terrebonne facilities plan project. Mr. Isham
Wastewater
had had a question about some of the language contained
Works Facility
intffi6 contract and was also concerned about EPA rescinding
unspent funds. Mr. Shimek had spoken to someone at EPA
who said that this is their standard contract language,
and the phrase "subject to availability of funds" is so
that they can withhold payment until the next quarter if
there is a deficit in the current quarter. Mr. Isham
said that he would work this out over the phone with Mr.'
Humphrey at EPA and incorporate that into the agreement
and bring it back before the Board. He noted that the
"availability of funds" if applied to the County should
also be reflected in their agreement with Century West.
