Daly, Dennis R. Luke and Tammy Baney. Also present were Dave Kanner, County Administrator; Anthony Raguine, Community Development; Laurie Craghead, Legal Counsel; four other citizens, and media representative Jeff Mullins of KBND Radio. Chair Daly opened the meeting at 10:00 a.m. 1. Before the Board was Citizen Input. None was offered. 2. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Document No. 2007- 525, a Bargain and Sale Deed to Bend Area Habitat for Humanity, Conveying Property to be Used for Affordable Housing. Teresa Rozic said that Habitat is working with the City of Bend on a road vacation located immediately west of the subject property; this will add land to the 25 foot wide lot, making it 40 feet wide. This will give them more options as to what kind of structure can be built, possibly a triplex. Commissioner Luke expressed concern about the restriction in the deed regarding the use of the property for affordable housing. Ms. Rozic said that the group intends to build as soon as possible. The home will be held for affordable housing for a period of time. Ten years was arrived at because Habitat maintains control of the property for ten years. After that time the family occupying the property takes it over. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 26, 2007 Page 1 of 10 Pages Commissioner Baney stated that she doesn't see a problem with the way it is written. Commissioner Daly said that property rights are important and includes the right to sell the property. If a family can build equity in a few years, they can move up into a nicer home if they can sell it. David Love, Director of Habitat, said the intent is to keep the home in affordable housing status. It also helps the resident to gain a sense of security and worth and changes their lives. All of the properties stay in affordable housing status for ten years, and if someone needs to move before then they can sell it back to Habitat. There is a commitment to the donors that the property will hold up to the mission of affordable housing. Most of the families are satisfied with that. After the ten years the families can buy out Habitat. Alison Ham, a volunteer and Board president, stated that they are not in the business of windfall profits. When they move it is worth twice as much as the family buys it for. That is why it is restricted for the first ten years. When they leave during that time, they get back the payments they have made but no equity from the property itself. This helps them build good credit history and a down payment for the future.

Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Document No. 2007- 509, a Bargain and Sale Deed Conveying Unbuildable Property. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 26, 2007 Page 2 of 10 Pages Ms. Rozic gave an overview of the item. The eight adjacent property owners wish to purchase the parcel and hold it as tenants in common, to be used as permanent access to the properties. The selling price is $4,000, based on a written broker's price opinion. Commissioner Luke asked if the letter from Mr. White is a part of the record. It asks that the fee charged for research be refunded. Ms. Rozic stated that the fee was charged as listed in the Deschutes County fee schedule. Robert Thomas, a resident of Chaney Road, said that the sole purpose is to make the entire piece a contiguous road. It was split somehow and in 2004 this piece went to the County for non-payment of taxes. This would make the road complete. The $1,000 fee was disputed by some of the residents. He would just like to see the process completed regardless. Commissioner Luke said that he staff did a good job of explaining the issue. This is a fee and not related to the selling price. LUKE: Move approval. BANEY: Second. VOTE: LUKE: Yes. . BANEY: Yes. DALY: Chair votes yes. 5. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Document No. 2007- 516, a Bargain and Sale Deed Conveying Unbuildable Property. This 140 square feet parcel resulted from a major partition. The adjacent owner would like to purchase this property, which is of no use to the County. A broker's price opinion places the value at $2,500. The property is considered unbuildable and the low value allows the property to be sold in this fashion. BANEY: Move approval, based on ORS 275.225. LUKE: Second. VOTE: LUKE: Yes. BANEY: Yes. DALY: Chair votes yes. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 26, 2007 Page 3 of 10 Pages 6. Before the Board was Consideration of Chair Signature of Document No. 2007-512, a Special Transportation Fund Formula Grant Application and Recommended Distribution; and Document No. 2007-522, Assurances and Certification in regard to FTA Funding. Judith Ure explained the grant application item, which is related to the State's biennial program, with the funds going to local transportation providers. The Special Transportation Advisory Committee met and decided the distribution for the coming year; they will meet again in a year in regard to the second year's funding. Almost all are repeat recipients, with the exception of Cascade Central Lines, a new provider that provides transportation to and from the La Pine area. A couple of others didn't apply this year. There are some carryover dollars from this particular fund in the amount of approximately $67,000. The Committee reviewed this and Bend Dial a Ride and the Opportunity Center have asked for this funding, which will continue to provide services to several people living some distance from the City. The Opportunity Center's application was turned in a day late; however, they are critical to the community. They could be funded out of the carryover dollars. Commissioner Luke asked how the funding is decided. Ms. Ure stated that there is a percentage over the last allocation given to each applicant that was approved, and none of them got the entire amount requested. Commissioner Luke stated that the Dial a Ride buses are being used for transit services. The funds are restricted to the proposed purposes. It was fortunate that there were carryover dollars available to cover the Opportunity Foundation's request. LUKE: Move approval. BANEY: Second. VOTE: LUKE: Yes. BANEY: Yes. DALY: Chair votes yes. In regard to Document No. 2007-522, Cascade Central Lines proposed to buy a bus to enhance their services. The County would be lien holder on the bus. LUKE: Move approval. BANEY: Second.

Ron Tamminga gave an overview of the item, which covers roll-ups. Dave Kanner asked what a non-express fund it. Mr. Tamminga stated that this is an on-line system primarily utilized by the four providers. BANEY: Move approval. LUKE: Second. VOTE: LUKE: Yes. BANEY: Yes. DALY: Chair votes yes. 8. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Order No. 2007-150, Establishing Rates for the Franchised Collection of Solid Waste in Unincorporated Areas of Deschutes County. Timm Schimke stated this reflects the additional cost the tip fee increase on the system. This should be revenue neutral. He added that even with this change, the operators are still below the maximum profit level allowed, although their financial situation has improved. A rate increase was requested a couple of years ago but no action was taken due to confidentiality issues with the haulers. One company would like to resubmit this request but the documentation has not yet been received. The County Internal Auditor and Mr. Schimke wanted to wait to see how the tip fee increase impacts this situation. There was a rate increase established some time ago when recycling was added to the very rural haulers. Commissioner Luke said that he appreciates the haulers stepping up to provide the large recycling collection containers. This should enhance the recycling numbers. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 26, 2007 Page 5 of 10 Pages Mr. Schimke stated that some thought has been given to an annual cost of living adjustment to cover the rising costs of labor and fuel, instead of seeking a bigger cost adjustment after several years.

LUKE: Move approval of the notice of intent to award contract letter to J.A.L. Construction. BANEY: Second. VOTE: LUKE: Yes. BANEY: Yes. DALY: Chair votes yes. 10. Before the Board was Consideration of First and Second Readings and Adoption, by Emergency, of Ordinance No. 2007-023, Expanding the City of Bend Urban Growth Boundary to Accommodate a School Site. Anthony Raguine gave a brief overview of the item, which will add eighteen acres to the UGB for a school site. Commissioner Luke pointed out that the Board does not like to do UGB expansions piecemeal but understands the need in this situation. Commissioner Baney asked whether they need the full eighteen acres. Mr. Raguine said that there are two phases involved and all will be utilized for school purposes.
