We need to give the public advance Fees notice of the new fee schedule. Neil submitted a memo to the Board relating that the rates need to be raised from a minimum fee of $2.25 to $2.50. Neil proposed that these new rates become effective on July 1st, 1982. Other minor adjustment are also being proposed in new rates. The landfill is not going to be bringing in quite the amount budgeted to receive for this fiscal year. Neil stated that the revenues need to come back up, and can be done by keeping personnel down and by not replacing the trash compactor this year. But, Neil explained, that the trash compactor does need to be replaced soon or will cause some extensive damage. Even with the proposed raise in fees, there will still be a shortfall from the budgeted revenue from the landfill. The committee is also reviewing other possibilities to come up with more revenue as budgeted. Page 1 of 4 Chairman Shepard suggested this proposal be acted upon at this time. Mike Kment was in attendance and spoke to the effect that the possibility of reducing hours and days that the fills are open would be more advantageous. than raising the fees again. Mike stated that he was opposed to the proposed fee schedules. Neil stated that he felt there is less production with the decrease of hours, as it takes a certain amount of time each day to get operations into swing. Discussion was held as to what would be more of an impact to the public between the small fee raise or decrease-of days:~and hours that the fills would be open. It was suggested that perhaps Mike Kment meet with John Joyce, Chairman of Solid Waste Committee and with Neil Hudson to discuss this matter further. Neil stated that he could set a meeting up next week sometime and then bring this matter back before the Board after the meeting. This was the concensus of the Board. Knott Neil Hudson stated that a few weeks ago there was a Road remonstrance hearing regarding Knott Road LID. Evidentally LID Brooks Resources sent a letter to the County, but it was misplaced and not found until after the meeting. It basically stated that Brooks will pay the costs as of last year, but will not necessarily pay for any new increases. Paulson stated that at this time he didn't feel the County should agree to pay any differences in cost, as this may bring about a high bid. Rick Isham stated that in his opinion this letter should be considered a remonstrance, and in this case the County cannot proceed with the project until we put it up for bid. Chairman Shepard stated that according to Neil if the County doesn't agree to participate,.we.would be killing the project. It could be a big inconvenience to the people to give up the project of Knott Road. This project must go before the Hearings Officer prior to the bid as a conditional use application. MOTION: YOUNG moved to proceed with the project of Knott Road LID. SHEPARD: Second. VOTE: YOUNG: AYE. PAULSON: NO. SHEPARD: AYE. Wood Commissioner Paulson related that Mr. Gordon requested to Cutting be allowed a permit to cut firewood on a piece of county Permit land. Paulson stated that he went to the site and didn't on feel there was enough wood there to be worth the liability Co. Land to the County to cut this wood. Young agreed that it would not be a worthwhile project. MOTION: YOUNG moved that the Board not allow any wood cutting on this parcel of County property. PAULSON: Second. VOTE: YOUNG: AYE. PAULSON: AYE. SHEPARD: AYE. Page 2 of 4 The meeting was at this time recessed to go into a 7th Mountain County Service District Meeting. The meeting was reconvened for further discussion. Mental Jane Kirkpatrick was at the meeting to discuss the Health Mental Health Division Contract.for 1982-83. Rick Isham Division stated that he had reviewed the contract and would concur Contract with Jane's recommendation. MOTION: YOUNG moved for the Board to sign the contract as recommended by Jane Kirkpatrick and approved by County Counsel. PAULSON: Second. VOTE: YOUNG: AYE. PAULSON: AYE. SHEPARD: AYE. At this time Jane also wished to discuss the policy relating to County employees flying in planes. She had read the policy and wishes the Board to reconsider it. Jane stated that she has a trip to make to John Day and has access to a private pilot and plane. She finds it necessary to take the flight so as to be back in town in time to meet with someone else. She stated that she understood insurance is a private issue. Jane has asked the Board to allow her to fly to this meeting in John Day. Doug Maul stated that the County just doesn't have flight liability coverage and even feels that charter flying would not necessarily be covered. Doug commented that if Jane were to take out a policy for insurance, that the County could be named insured, but it would certainly cost her some money. Chairman Shepard stated that the major concern is that a county employee is on a business trip and is flying then ends up in an accident, destroying property, who is going to be liable for the damage. This situation could possibly end up in a lawsuit against the county. Chairman Shepard stated that the decision will be either to have Jane obtain written permission or the Board will have to change the policy. Paulson suggested Jane obtain a rider that would cover the county in case of accident. He was not sure on what the cost for this would be. Paulson stated he would like to stick with the current policy, but that it should include charter service and an option for flying. MOTION: SHEPARD moved to rescind the policy, and investigate means of: insurance,. YOUNG: Second. VOTE: SHEPARD: AYE. YOUNG: AYE. PAULSON: NO. The Board directed Doug Maul to check into the insurance matter for aviation and report back to the Board with this information. H.O.
