Discussion re- Vince Genna, Bend Metro Parks and Recreation District, garding Land was not present at this time so this item was postponed Exchange with until the next day. Bend Metro Parks and Recreation District Discussion re- Mr. Isham explained that he had placed this on the garding Cable agenda at the request of Village Cable Company who TV Franchis- is interested in having the County consider francising ing (Village for TV cable companies in the County. Chairman Shepard Cable) called for comments from representatives of the cable companies. Guy Van Hout, Operations Manager for Village Cable Systems, came forward. He stated that he is in- terested in some form of minor regulation of cable systems in Deschutes County. He said that without County regulation or franchising, cable TV is a non- regulated industry. He stated that there was a need for cable companies to have some kind of guidelines and that there was a potential for a large company to monopolize an area, or force a smaller company out of business by competing unfairly in a small area, and then raise their rates to whatever price they choose in that area after eliminating their competitors. He had prepared a docu- ment for the Board to review which he handed out at this time. Commissioner Young noted that there is proposed legislation in the Senate which would deregulate cable systems completely. There was some further discussion on this. Chairman Shepard stated that he did not feel that the Board should delay considering this because of proposed legislation. Commissioner Paulson expressed concern about franchising cable systems in view of this pending legislation, as well as controversy over its legality which has recently been publicized. Del Cathow, Prineville Cable company, came forward. He explained that his company is now in the process of in- stalling cable in the LaPine area. He stated that what PAGE 3 Mr. Van Hout is actually seeking is protection from com- petition. He felt that free enterprise should be en- couraged and that the company that offered the best service should survive. He stated that cable was not a utility but a luxury service. He also explained that it was not viable for two companies to go into the same area if it were only two to three hundred residences being served. He added that if the County does decide to regulate cable, they should advise Senator Packwood of their reasoning in doing so. Chuck Lewis, Village Cable, stated that their reasoning for this request was for the protection of their com- pany, but for the protection of the County and its cit- izens as well. Mary Chase, Manager of Liberty TV Cable Co., stated that her company's rates are the same in the county as in the city where there is a franchise and city regulation. She stated that the customers in the county do not re- ceive any less service than those in the city. There was no further testimony from the audience. There was some general discussion by the Board. It was the concensus of the Board not to take action on this at this time, however they would review the document sub- mitted by Village Cable and consider the request. Discussion Mr. Isham briefly explained the history of this fore- regarding closure. He stated that the Brittsan's had sold this Brittsan property t o another party who defaulted on their pay- Foreclosure ments, so the Brittsan's forclosed on the property. At that time the County held two liens against the prop- erty, but did not file an answer to the foreclosure to recoup the amount of the liens. He noted, however, that one year's taxes had been paid, but there was money still outs tanding. He stated that because we had not filed an a nswer it would be costly to pursue this. He requested direction from the Board on how to proceed. It was the concensus of the Board not to proceed in this matter.

PAULSON: Second. VOTE: SHEPARD: AYE. PAULSON: AYE. YOUNG: AYE. It was noted that this will be effective as of this date. Chairman Shepard indicated that it had been suggested that this be submitted to the Employee's Council for their review before becoming effective. There was some further general discussion on the or- dinance. It was the concensus of the Board that this become effective immediately. Discussion Commissioner Young explained that on July 7 Fred Krome regarding came before the Board to request redemption of a par- Krome Redem- cel of property foreclosed on for back taxes. At that ption time Mr. Krome expressed unwillingness to pay the $500 redemption fee charged by the County. Commissioner Young asked Mr. Isham to justify that fee so that the Board could determine whether or not to charge Mr. Krome the $500 fee. It was noted that at the July 7 meeting it had been the Board's decision to grant the redemption but to check with Mr. Isham in regard to the $500 fee. Mr. Isham explained that the $500 fee was discussed by the Board about one year ago and it had been his recommendation that this fee be established for redemptions. He stated that this was because by the time the property owner has requested a redemption, the property has already been added to the County land in- ventory, the necessary publications have been made in the newspaper, approximately ten legal documents have been prepared and filed with the Court and the Trea- surer's Office has completed all the work necessary for the foreclosure and transfer as well as process service performed by the Sheriff. He stated that they must also check the title of the property to make sure that they have foreclosed on all parties having an interest in the property or purchase a title report. They must also prepare a deed. The Board's time is also taken to hear the redemption request. He stated that ultimately the deed is signed and delivered to the person requesting redemption and if somewhere along the line the County has made a mistake of some kind they must protect them- selves. He said that if the $500 fee is not taken up in the normal procedure, the risk involved is a cost factor to be considered. He added that if the property were PAG E 5 sold as is allowed by statute, the County stands to gain more than the $500 fee. It was the concensus of the Board to stand by its policy of cha rging a $500 re- demption fee and write Mr. Krome a letter explaining the fee and informing him that he will be charged that fee. Discussion Commissioner Young stated that he h ad reviewed ORS regarding 467.380 which requires the Board of Commissioners to Burning issue burning permits in areas not within fire protec- Permits tion districts. He had also spoken with Charles Traschel, Cloverdale RFPD, who had agreed to check with other fire protection districts in the area to advise the Board whether or not they would be willing to issue burning permits in areas outside of their districts. Mr. Traschel will report back to Co mmissioner Young next week. OLCC Liquor Before the Board were nine OLCC Liquor License Renewal License applications. The first was for Lava Lake Lodge.

Contracts John Andersen, Planning Director, stated that the County with COIC had been successful in obtaining four grants from Cen- for Economic tral Oregon Intergovernmental Council for economic stud- Development ies that need to be done in Deschutes County. He listed them to be as follows: the first is for and inventory of industrial land, the second is for an analysis of land use ordinances, the third is for a conceptual plan for the industrial land bank north of Bend and the fourth is for an industrial park plan for LaPine. He said that he had a recommendation as to who should do these jobs. He felt that the Planning Department could PAG E 7 • do the inventory of the industrial lands, and the funds from this grant would go directly into the general fund. He said that Robin Bradley (currently working for the Planning Department on a limited basis) could do the analysis of the land use ordinances and that the other two could be contracted to KM Associates, a consulting firm located in Portland. Mr. Isham noted that there needed to be some changes made in the contract language.
