Commissioner Shepard and Commissioner Young were also present. Amendments to The---.agenda was .--amended to include a :discussion and pos- the Agenda sible action in regard.to Sanitation fees being charged to schools for the inspection of their facilities. Continuation Chairman Paulson noted that legal counsel for Mr. Curl, of Public who is requesting this vacation, could not be present Hearing to at this hearing. He suggested that the hearing be con- Vacate a Por- tinued until Mr. Curl's counsel could be present. As tion of there was one person present wishing to testify in this Highland Rd. hearing, Chairman Paulson opened the hearing. Mr. Curl objected to opening the hearing until his counsel could be present. John Florry, 65031 Highland, Redmond, came before the Board to testify. He explained that he owns a lot in Highland Estates. He said that they had tried to get information on the remonstrance to this LID from the Road Department on several occaisions but had been un- successful. He said that he thought that the count had been taken from the original survey that was circulated, which people signed just to find out how much it would cost. Neil Hudson, Director of Public Works, explained that this was the original petition to initiate the LID, and that remonstrance letters were sent to each property owner and that if they do not remonstrate it is assumed that they are in favor. Mr. Florry said that he received no remonstrance letter, or any correspondence in regard to the LID. It was'noted that these are sent to the per- son on the tax department's computer as the lot owner. Since he is purchasing his lot on a contract, the corres- pondence goes to the contract holder, who evidently did not forward the documents to Mr. Florry. There was some discussion on this. Mr. Florry felt that if this portion of Highland Road had never been constructed in the first place, everyone's assessments would have been lower. Mr. Hudson pointed out that the assessment's were based on acreage, and with Mr. Curl's acreage not being included in the assessment it would be possible that the assessments would have remained about the same. Being no further testimony, Chairman Paulson continued the hearing until December 1, 1981 at 10:00 A.M., same location. Appointment Before the Board was a list of names to be considered of Commission- to serve as members of the Special Road District #8 Board ers to Spec- of Directors. These persons were suggested by property ial Road Dist. owners in the district. Commissioner Young said that he #8 had received three telephone calls from residents of the district requesting that the first three names on the list be selected. Page 1 of 4 0 Deschutes County Board of Commissioners November 24, 1981 - Regular Meeting MOTION: YOUNG moved that the top three names on the list be appointed, those people are: Richard C. Nichols, Mrs. Gay Miller and Hollie P. Edwards. SHEPARD: Second. There was some discussion on the length of terms to be served, terms will be staggered. As one term will ex- pire at the end of this year, it was the concensus of the Board to automatically reappoint that person to an additional term to expire in 1984. VOTE: PAULSON: AYE. SHEPARD: AYE. YOUNG: AYE. Sanitation Commissioner Shepard said that he had discussed this with fees for the school district's business manager for the Bend public Schools schools, who said that they were not interested in making any payments for the service, because they are not making any profit on their food services. He said that the Red- mond schools may be willing to pay for just the four food service areas, and Sisters was also willing to pay. John Glover, County Sanitarian, explained what is being done elsewhere in the state with regard to these school services. After some further discussion, Chairman Paulson suggested that the County continue to provide the inspection services to the schools free of charge, as has been done in the past. Commissioner Young said that he would be agreeable to that, as long as the schools did not charge the County for any services they may provide. Commissioner Shepard said that he felt that inspection of these facilities was important, but that it should not be the responsibility of restaurant owners to pay for them. He felt that a portion of the school's operating budget should be set aside for this service. MOTION: SHEPARD moved that the Board advise the school districts that we will no longer be able to in- spect their facilities without assessing them a fee: $70 per inspection if that is the going rate. YOUNG: Second. VOTE: PAULSON: NO. SHEPARD: AYE. YOUNG: AYE. Discussion Oscar Bratton, County Assessor, said that he is requesting regarding a change in the classification of one of the Office Assist- Personnel ants in his department. He explained that one person had taken over the duties of two people when one was cut back. This person is now doing more than one persons work. He said that she has worked for the county since 1976 and is a very good employee with a lot of responsibility, and works independently. After some further discussion, Commissioner Shepard said that he is not prepared to make a decision on this at this time, and would prefer to get further background information and reschedule this for discussion and possible action at a later date. It was decided to schedule this item again on the next day's agenda. Page 2 of 4 r Deschutes County Board of Commissioners November 24, 1981 - Regular Meeting Commissioner Shepard suggested that the Board establish some kind of procedure for reclassifying employees, so that it will be done in a fair, uniform manner. Discussion re- The Board was in receipt of a memo dated November 10, 1981 garding Pri- from Mr. Isham in regard to information from Neil Hudson vate Utility outlining private utility companies in the County. This Companies includes cable TV, electric companies, gas companies and community water systems. There was some discussion on the current regulations these companies are now under. Paul Ramsey, Avion Water Company, came before the Board to comment. He stated that he is currently regulated by the Public Utilities Commission. He said that any time a customer is not satisfied there is a toll-free number for them to report it to the PUC, who in turn gets in contact with the water company and the problem is solved. He said that they have to send in two to three samples a month on their water for testing as well. There was some further discussion. It was suggested that this go before a citizen's advisory committee for recommendation to the Board on a course of action. Brad Fancher, member of the Public Advisory Team, said that he thought that the group would be glad to work on this. He noted, however, that he personally should withdraw from the question and study because he has represented Rhodes Water System since the development of the system. MOTION: SHEPARD moved that the Board ask the Public Advi- sory Team to investigate the whole proposition of tounty regulation and possible franchises and report to the Board of Commissioners. PAULSON: Second. VOTE: PAULSON: AYE. SHEPARD: AYE. YOUNG: AYE. The Board requested that Mr. Isham or Mr. Hudson collect the information that the Public Advisory Team will need in their study, and possibly meet with them to discuss this. Report on The Board was in receipt of a letter dated October 30, Public Advi- 1981 from the Public Advisory Team containing their re- sory Team commendation on department reorganization. Brad Fancher regarding was present to discuss this. It was their recommendation Reorganiza- that at this point in time an administrator not be appointed tion recom- because of the additional cost of the office, along with mendation clerical help. They suggested instead that communications to the Board between the Board and County Departments be improved. They felt that this could be just as effective at this time. They suggested regular meetings between a commissioner and a group of department heads, being three separate groups. There was some further discussion.
