Luke, Michael M. Daly and Tammy Melton. Also present were Dave Kanner, Administrator; Erik Kropp, Deputy County Administrator; David Inbody, Assistant to the Administrator; Tom Anderson and Kristen Maze, Community Development; Laurie Craghead and Mark Pilliod, Legal Counsel; Brad and Bruce Bailey, Bend Garbage & Recycling; Hillary Borrud of The Bulletin; and three other citizens. Chair Luke opened the meeting at 1: 35 p.m. 1. Solid Waste Update. Discussion occurred regarding the Fire Free event. Mr. Schimke said that the City of Bend is now interested in participating in some fashion. The City was originally worried about people holding onto debris through the summer in order to take advantage of the spring Fire Free event. Bruce Bailey stated that he suggested perhaps having a "$2 off' event during burn weeks as allowed by City of Bend. Mr. Bailey added that of the material collected, about 75% goes as hog fuel, and the rest is used for composting. Heavier wood does not compost down well. It was suggested that perhaps this could be structured this year-round, which will help to make the composting program more sustainable year-round. It may help to change the behavior of the public from doing cleanup all at once to instead keeping their property cleaned up all the time. Curbside collection is increasing slowly, not where they want to be, the economy may be keeping some residents from signing up at this time. wJLinuLes of tiammistrative Work Session Wednesday, October 1, 2008 Page 1 of 5 Pages Commissioner Luke said that it takes a substantial amount of effort and funding to be able to put on this type of program. Mr. Bailey said this particular event could be held in early November and would not be a free event, but fees would be substantially discounted. Mr. Schimke said that the free tire disposal weekend continues to get many tires from groups that are not supposed to bring them in, such as dealers and others that collect tires in volume and bring in dozens at a time. He plans to limit the number of tires per person at the next event. He said that perhaps the better way to handle the tires is to allow people to bring them with their other items to the landfill and set the tires aside at no cost, instead of getting a lot of them in all at once. The report on the demolition landfill property is almost done, and Mr. Schimke will be bringing the executive summary to the Board soon. There were some elevated concentrations of oil products and one vial of questionable material. The consultants who have been doing the investigation of the property plan to make a formal presentation to the Board. Mr. Kanner said that the City still seems to be committed on working with the County on a master plan for the property. He expects work to begin on this process in a few months. Mr. Bailey said that his company has been approved by the City of Sisters to start handling their trash collection. Sisters will have the same level of service as the other cities do, and the recycling amount should increase. 2. Economic Development Grant Requests. David Inbody said that two of the requests are from groups that wish to use the facilities at the Fairgrounds, in response to the Board's decision not to provide a lump sum of money of $10,000 to the Fairgrounds to help offset the rental of the facilities to nonprofit groups and other agencies who are attempting to hold fundraising activities. Mt. Bachelor Kennel Club - K-9 Karnival to Benefit the Humane Society of Redmond - Commissioners Melton granted $1,000; Commissioner Luke granted $500; and Commissioner Daly granted the difference of $2,400. w1IIIULUS oi tiummisirative work session Wednesday, October 1, 2008 Page 2 of 5 Pages UC Santa Barbara Economic Forecast Project - with Portland State University - Commissioner Melton said that this is being put together by a lot of local businesses to ensure that the forecast is more accurate than in the past. She granted $1,000. Horse Heaven Ranch - Rental of Sagebrush Arena - The Commissioners indicated they would not provide grant funds since the group is a private entity and not a nonprofit agency. Bend 2030 - Town Hall - David Inbody stated that the nonprofit agency doing the study is requesting the funds. This would provide an update to the community on the status of the project. Commissioner Melton granted $1,000 but requested that it be contingent on a City of Bend match. Mr. Kanner said that the City of La Pine wants to have another work session with the Commissioners held in December, as there will be new councilors on board. The Commissioners indicated that January may be a better time. Mr. Kanner asked if the Board wanted to have regular meetings scheduled the week of Christmas. The Commissioners indicated that this should remain on the calendars but not to schedule anything that is not absolutely necessary. In regard to Measures 57 and 61, some department heads and others have asked that the Commissioners issue a statement about their position. Commissioner Melton said that she was a little uncomfortable supporting even the COCC measure, and feels this should be done on an individual basis instead of as a Board. The Commissioners can take a position on any Measure as an individual if desired. 3. Update of Commissioners' Meetings and Schedules. Commissioner Melton will begin the Pacific Program this weekend and will be out of the office next week. Commissioners Luke and Daly will be in Salem on Monday, October 6. iviiiluLUS ui tiammistrative work session Wednesday, October 1, 2008 Page 3 of 5 Pages Commissioner Melton reported back on the AOC regional meeting in Lakeview. She feels that perhaps Erik Kropp or Dave Kanner should attend the next one as well. This particular meeting included a discussion on forest health, and a request was made by the five counties to ask AOC to put together a plan to move forward on this issue. This may be a way to open opportunities for small diameter wood processing and to reduce wildfire risk. On Monday, October 13, the public lands group will formally request that AOC take this on as a campaign. They would like a letter indicating Board support of this plan. Commissioner Melton said that there was concern voiced at the meeting that ODOT has in effect put a moratorium on growth by requiring certain road improvements that they have no way of funding. This puts the funding problem on the shoulders of the local entity or the counties, who also may not be able to afford the required improvements. Even if the county or other entity can afford its share, ODOT is not able to contribute the amount they are to provide. The other counties were under the impression that Deschutes County was the cause of this overriding moratorium, and Commissioner Melton was able to clarify the facts. Commissioner Daly said he is attending the State Land Board meeting on Tuesday in Salem. The possible exchange of land located adjacent to the Redmond airport between the County and the Division of State Lands is on the agenda. 4. Other Items. As a follow-up to the morning business meeting presentation supporting a "yes" vote on Ballot Measure 9-58 in the November 4, 2008, general election (Central Oregon Community College measure), the Board indicated support. DALY: Move signature of Resolution No. 2008-133. MELTON: Second. VOTE: MELTON: Yes. DALY: Yes. LUKE: Chair votes yes. Concerning the makeup of the Planning Commission, Commissioner Luke asked if perhaps there should be some changes. Kristen Maze said that it is now done by township and range, regardless of the population concentrations. Minutes of Administrative Work Session Wednesday, October 1, 2008 Page 4 of 5 Pages She added that it is possible that Brenda Pace will not be on the Commission after this coming spring. There is not anyone from the Tumalo area now on the group. Having specific areas represented is recommended but not required. Commissioner Luke stated that things have changed a lot, and suggested that perhaps the Planning Commission review this idea and see if there should be adjustments made to accommodate increases in population and changes in the various areas that have taken place since it was first written into Code in 1994. Also, there could be up to nine members per statute, and maybe this is a change that could more easily be accommodated. Ms. Maze stated that this could be added to the work plan and addressed as time allows. She will bring this suggestion to the Planning Commission to see how they feel about it. Tom Anderson pointed out that it is often hard to recruit qualified applicants, and it is even more difficult if the search is for someone from a specific location. At 2:55 p.m. the Board went into Executive Session, called under ORS 192.660(2)(i), employment related performance review. Being no further discussion, the meeting adjourned at 3:35 p.m. DATED this 1St Day of October 2008 for the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners. ATTEST: Recording Secretary Dennis R.

The Wilmerding School of Industrial Art is under your control and is administered as a preparatory school and junior college. It appears that you and your constituent schools are entitled to exemption under the provisions of section 101(6) of the Revenue Act of 1938 and the corresponding provisions of prior revenue acts. You are not, therefore, required to file returns for 1938 and prior years. Inasmuch as section 101(6) of. internal 2teve,nue Code (53 Stat., Part 1) is similar to section 101(6) 'of the Revenue Act of 1938, returns of income will not be required for 1939 and subsequent years so long as there is no change in your organization, your purposes or your method of operation. Any changes in your form of organization or method of operation, as shown by the evidence submitted, must be' immediately reported to the collector of internal revenue for your district in order that the effect of such changes upon your present exempt status may be determined. The exemption referred to in this letter does not apply to taxes levied under other titles or provisions of the Revenue Act of 09/15/2008 11:10 8058932754 UCSB-EFP PAGE 07/10 JU.8(3) .2.

Bachelor Kennel Club is not coming to you for money. Our request is that you donate to us, free of charge the use of the Event Center Building at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds and tables and chairs (number to be determined) for an event sponsored by Mt. Bachelor Kennel Club on December 7, 2008. All proceeds from this event to go to the Redmond Humane Society. 1. Mt. Bachelor Kennel Club is a non-profit organization established in 1960 here in Central Oregon. We have a membership of approximately 60 people. We are a member club of The American Kennel Club. Our main purpose is the advancement of purebred dogs, but we are very active in the community as well. Our main activity is the 3 day all-Breed Dog Show Obedience, Agility and Rally Trial that is held at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds the latter part of June or early July, this an annual event, the first one was held in 1982 at the old Fairgrounds we are now in our 26th year. Other MBKC activities include educational programs promoting responsible dog ownership and care. MBKC sponsors two Eye Clinics every year allowing Central Oregon dog owners the opportunity to have their pet's eyes examined by a board certified Veterinary Optometrist. We offer two AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluation Tests a year. Over the years Mt. Bachelor Kennel Club has donated thousands of dollars to the local Humane Societies and the various spay/neuter programs available in Central Oregon. Mt. Bachelor Kennel Club has purchased protective Kevlar Vests for all of the k-9 Police Officers in Central Oregon and provides subscriptions to dog magazines for 7 different libraries in the tri-county area. Mt. Bachelor Kennel Club supports the local 4-H program monetarily and with help during their various dog activities. MBKC purchased the ring gates and equipment that they use for the Dog Judging contests at county Fair MBKC members are involved in the local Therapy Dog Programs that include the school reading program with the children and dogs, dog visits to hospitals and nursing homes and various other therapy programs. As you can see we are very active in the community. 2. Mt. Bachelor Kennel Club is hoping to use the Event Center to sponsor an event with all proceeds from that event going to benefit the Redmond Humane Society. We have many great ideas, and people within MT. Bachelor Kennel Club with the skills and knowledge to follow through with the ideas and make this a memorable event that hopefully will contribute much-needed funds to the Redmond Shelter. I have enclosed a separate sheet describing some of the activities we are anticipating (Very Rough Draft) 3. Our time line would be set-up time on Saturday, Dec. 6th with the use of Fairgrounds tables and chairs and all day on Sunday, Dec 7th for the actual event. 4. The Redmond Humane Society is in dire need of financial help, The goal of MBKC is to try to generate funds to help them through this crisis. 5. This event is designated specifically to support the Redmond Humane Society. We feel that helping to support the Redmond Humane Society and keep the Shelters doors open will have a positive impact on the entire community. 6. Mt. Bachelor Kennel Club will meet any and all expenditures necessary to make this a successful and productive event, including promotion and publicity. We are only asking for the use of the Event Center building. Respectfully submitted: Mt.
