MINUTES OF WORK SESSION
DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MONDAY, MARCH 8, 2010
Present were Commissioners Dennis R. Luke, Alan Unger and Tammy Baney.
Also present were Erik Kropp, Deputy County Administrator; and Tom Anderson,
Community Development.
Chair Luke opened the meeting at 1:35 p.m.
1. Consideration of Signature of a Letter of Support for EDCO (Economic
Development for Central Oregon) Enterprise Zone Application.
Erik Kropp said that EDCO indicated the City of Bend is doing a resolution in
this regard later in the month. Commissioner Unger stated that this costs
property taxes for three to five years plus some additional taxes. Commissioner
Luke said that enterprise zones do not apply where there are urban renewal
funds in place. Commissioner Unger noted that these apply towards different
things so both can be utilized. This letter is to be held until such time as the
application is further into the process.
BANEY: Move approval of the letter, pending Bend's successful application.
UNGER: Second.
VOTE: BANEY: Yes.
UNGER: Yes.
LUKE: Chair votes yes.
2. Update on Sunriver Sewer Feasibility Study.
Tom Anderson said that the study is done, but there were a couple of changes.
They were trying to set it up as if there is no alternative, but removed that. The
engineering document shows it is physically feasible for everything between
Sunriver and State Recreation Road, and the cost for the larger area versus a
smaller area is about the same for the facility itself.

The first area is in Deschutes River Recreation Homesites; and the second goes
to State Recreation Road bypassing those that are already sewered (such as
Oregon Water Wonderland). It is about $19,000 cost per lot in any case.
Monthly costs to build with no grant support are very expensive, $130 to $160
per month. The current cost to Sunriver properties is less than $60 per month.
He asked that some modeling be done if funding can be obtained from the State.
This is a valuable piece of information that gives hard costs to a sewer solution.
Once the south County advisory committee forms, this will give them
information they need.
There has to be an exception to Goal 11 or DEQ would have to mandate this as
no practical alternative. They did this at DEQ's request because their current
permit is expiring.
Another option is to see if the Board wants to meet with DEQ to discuss the
study. Commissioner Luke suggested that DEQ host the meeting but they
should be considering the study. Commissioner Unger stated that he thinks
DEQ will take a long time to do anything in this regard. He was cautioned that
the County should not be the one presenting this since the issue is in the hands
of the DEQ.
Mr. Anderson said that the Sunriver facility is a private utility. Commissioner
Luke said it is up to the public to decide which way they want to go, and the
County stands ready to support that decision in whatever ay possible.
The Bulletin will do a feature article on this soon, and Mr. Anderson would like
to know what to say about it.
Commissioner Unger stated that a bunch of ideas should be thrown out there,
but to let the DEQ present it as an option. They should start getting feedback
and put together some options.
Commissioner Unger said that $25 million is quoted for the work. He asked if
any of the older equipment needs to be upgraded, or if there was any kind of
peer review.
Mr. Anderson said this is a feasibility analysis done by an engineer but is not a
design. There would have to be some infrastructure out to Cottonwood Road.

Commissioner Unger asked about red lots, and about those who are already in
the program and whether they might support a sewer district. Commissioner
Luke said that they would all have to support the bonds, but the usage fee
would be applied if there were improvements. Commissioner Luke stated that
the red lots might become buildable with a sewer. Mr. Anderson said that the
rural subdivision already exists; some are mopped wetlands and cannot be
developed.
There has to be a way to balance the windfall to those who have currently
unbuildable lots that become worth much more with a sewer district. If a lot is
not unbuildable, maybe the County can trade them for other land. Mr.
Anderson noted that they may not have been buildable when purchased and the
people knew it then.
SB 195, local review board for levying fines. Legislation indicates an
independent review body is needed. He recommends this not be done as there
is an effective code enforcement process now and none of the inspectors wants
to be in a position to have to hand out tickets.
Commissioner Unger said that there always seems to be neighbor-to-neighbor
problems, and he asked if there are ways to deal with this.
Mr. Anderson stated that the County pays toward Community Dispute
Resolution and there has been limited success.
In regard to the Forest Service and County agreements, the Forest Service will
do some road improvements. They are supposed to work cooperatively with
local entities and build according to Code. They do not have to pay local
government, but local government does not have to do the work, either. Mr.
Anderson stated that discussions are ongoing.
There was another round of layoffs and staff coverage is thin. They can usually
help the public quickly, but there are times when phone calls cannot be
answered or returned right away. Suggestions were made to let the public know
that there is a problem with coverage at this time, asking them to be patient.

Regarding the Frazier Code enforcement complaint, Mr. Anderson said that
everyone is aware of the issue, and it is in Code enforcement now. He
explained that a contractor built a two-story structure that was red-tagged
because he built too far into the setback area. A lot line adjustment is needed.

Avenue and signage.
