Public Hearing Chairman Young read aloud Order #82-273 in regard to the

posed forma- called first for comments in support of the proposal.
tion of LaPine
Emergency Med- Jerry Best, General Manager of the LaPine Ambulance
ical Service Association, stated that in recent years they have had
District an increase in responses coupled with a 100% increase
in expenses. He explained that they are funded in part
by membership fees, for people who pay a fee each year
for ambulance coverage. They are also funded by service
fees charged to users who are non-members. However,
this has noted provided adequate revenue so they are
looking at district formation as a source of operating
revenue.
Orren Robinson then came forward and stated that he had
been associated with the ambulance association for over
12 years. He stated that this had started out as a ser-
vice-in a small community and was run by volunteers so
costs were at a minimum. However, the community has
grown and they must pay paramedics, their administrative
costs have risen, and the operation has become more
technical and professional; all of which contribute to
increased costs. He stated that at this time member-
ships are dropping and they may go bankrupt. He stated
that they are examining taxing alternatives, and are
considering, if.this district formation is approved and
a tax levy is approved, taxing on a per taxlot basis at
a cost of $10 to $12 per taxlot. He then explained
their staffing system, noting that 2/3 of the time a
volunteer handles the dispatching from their own home.
Sherman Hesse, a Board Member of the Association, stated
that it is their desire to have this matter placed on a
ballot so that the people of LaPine could vote on
whether or not to form the district.
AUGUST 18, 1982 MINUTES: PAG'El
Hearing no further comments in favor, Chairman Young
called for comments in opposition.
Thespia Jaquis, LaPine, stated that she had paid a mem-
bership fee in the past, but had quit. She stated that
they had brought people to the hospital in their car who
had refused to go in the ambulance. She stated that
there are many retired people in the area living on
fixed incomes who could not afford to have another tax
levied on them. She stated that the roads were a higher
priority than the ambulance and that they should receive
tax dollars first and that they did not have adequate
snow removal on some roads.
Clayburn Edwards, LaPine, stated that he was in oppos-
ition to another taxing body. He expressed concern
about the tax for this service continually raising year
after year.
Hearing no further comments in opposition, Chairman
Young called for rebuttal testimony.
Orren Robinson stated that he did not feel that anyone
present had the right to deny the community the chance
to vote on this issue.
Thespia Jacquis asked why the proposed district was so
large, noting that this would create a large area that
would pay taxes on this.
Laverne Leyman noted that this district went clear to
the Cascades and would probably serve a lot of the
skiers. She asked if they would be paying their fair
share for the service. Mr. Isham stated that the Board
of Directors for the district could set a fee schedule
for those who use the service who live outside the
district.
Chairman Young stated that the final hearing on this
matter would be held September 22. He then closed the
hearing.
MOTION: PAULSON moved to approve Order #82-273.
YOUNG: Second.
VOTE: PAULSON: AYE.
YOUNG: AYE.
Consideration Jerie Schutte, Personnel Director, stated that she was
of Reclassif- in receipt of two requests for reclassification from
ication of 2 department heads. The first request was from Jane Kirk-
positions patrick, Family Counselling, requesting a reclassifica-
tion of an Office Assistant IV position to an office
Assistant V position. She had drafted a memo to the
Board in regard to this matter which the Board had

reviewed. Ms..Schutte recommended approval of this
request.
MOTION: PAULSON moved that, based on the recommendaton
of the.,personnel department and comments by the
director, the Board approve the reclassifica-
tion for Jeannie Eddings.
YOUNG: Second.
VOTE: PAULSON: AYE.
YOUNG: AYE.
The next request was from Oscar Bratton, County Asses-
sor, for the reclassification of an office Assistant II
position (this position was written into the budget but
currently not filled) to an Office Assistant III
position. This request had been made because an employe
who had completed training as an appraiser had decided
she did not want to perform field work, so would be
unable to accept a position as Appraiser I. Mr. Bratton
had proposed to transfer her to the Office Assistant
position, but first wanted to reclassify it so that
there would not be a decrease in salary for this emp-
loye. It was the recommendation of the Personnel
Director not to grant this reclassification as the job
description did not justify an Office Assistant III
classification, but was properly classified as a II.
Commissioner Paulson noted that it had been requested
that this person begin the job at the top of the salary
range. He stated that it was his opinion that this
constituted a resignation from one job and application
to another, and in that case the person should begin at
the beginning step of the pay range. There was some
further general discussion.
MOTION: PAULSON moved that the clerical position II
currently open in the Assessor's office remain
at a II and not be reclassified to a III.
YOUNG: Second.
VOTE: PAULSON: AYE.
YOUNG: AYE.

Order Initiat- Mr. Isham explained that this was a property exchange
ing Land Trade between Deschutes County and Brooks Resources for the
with Brooks benefit of Bend Metro Parks and Recreation, who will
Resources receive the land obtained from Brooks Resources. He
stated that the exchange was for 355 acres of County
land west of Bend for a portion of a subdivision called
"The Farm" owned by Brooks Resources. There had been a
problem in equalizing the exchange because the County
land had a higher value than the property owned by
Brooks Resources. This has been resolved by enlarging
the parcel of property being traded by Brooks Resources
by 5.22 acres, which created equal valuation of the two
parcels. Chairman Young read aloud a portion of the
resolution.

YOUNG: Second.
