Luke, Alan Unger and Tammy Baney. Also present were Dave Kanner, County Administrator; Erik Kropp, Deputy County Administrator Laurie Craghead, County Counsel; Peter Gutowsky, Will Groves, Tom Anderson and George Read, Community Development; David Givans, Internal Auditor; media representatives Hillary Borrud and Diane ? of The Bulletin; a representative of the Humane Society of Central Oregon and several representatives of the Humane Society of Redmond. Chair Luke opened the meeting at 1:35 p.m. 1. Humane Society of Central Oregon Annual Report. 2. Humane Society of Redmond Annual Report and Presentation of Five- Year Strategic Plan. Director Pat Roden discussed events at which the Humane Society participated, and their outreach for 2009. (A copy of the outreach document is attached for reference) The average stay for dogs is about six days, and 29 days for cats. The intake of stray cats was down last year by about 16%, mostly having to do with cats. Owner surrenders were up about 2-5%. She said it is all about the dollars. They received some large donations last year, partly because they were in the media a great deal. The media exposure is very important. She added that they have not received any calls regarding large animal rescue. Chris Bauersfeld said they are in a much better place than in the past. They had to ramp up and get more involved in the community, as outreach was not done that effectively in past years. (A copy of their report is attached for reference.) Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Wednesday, March 31, 2010 Page 1 of 8 Pages They participate in smaller events but are getting more involved with schools and larger groups. Most of the events are more successful than anticipated. They are getting a lot of positive feedback from the public. She said they are about the adoptions and the community. They are concentrating on their spay and neuter program. About half of the animals treated were owned by the public. People are thankful for the assistance. Vaccinations and other services are offered at the same time. Spay and neuter is the only way to address the pet overpopulation problem. They are also adopting out barn cats that previously may have been destroyed. The public wants these programs to stay. It is important to help people keep the animals they have already so they don't end up at a shelter. There is an increase in the number of strays and owner surrenders. If people are losing their homes, these cats are given priority. Commissioner Luke asked how many cats test positive for leukemia and AIDS. Ms. Roden said that it is lower in owned cats and higher in strays or feral cats, up to 20%. Commissioner Baney asked if others are doing spay and neuter programs. Ms. Roden said they do their own animals but have the somewhat limited SNAP program for low-cost residents. Ms. Bauersfeld said they pay for the cost of altering shelter animals with the proceeds of the program offered to the public. Ms. Roden was asked about the sale of the trailer park for the trust. There has been mention of this. Commissioner Unger asked how it is set up. Mike Daly stated the next disbursal is not set until 2013, but it could be done sooner if the trustee agreed. Ms. Bauersfeld stated that the adoption rate for 2010 is down, and they have been moving dogs to other shelters. The number of strays picked up by owners is down. The RV park is doing better now that snowbirds are coming home, and is becoming profitable, as is the event center. The welfare of the shelter is being carefully addressed by the current board. They are very involved in its operation and planning for its future. The community has let them know they are valuable and are willing to support them. Commissioner Luke said there are two humane societies in the same area, which is not a normal practice. They are asked about combining County services. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Wednesday, March 31, 2010 Page 2 of 8 Pages Ms. Bauersfeld said that they keep in contact and don't feel the need to combine services. Ms. Roden added that they have not done that. Ms. Bauersfeld said logistically there is a cost issue because of distance. Ms. Roden said that an ID microchip or vaccination clinic done jointly might be helpful. They are working on a few events together. It was pointed out that there is some natural overlap in areas and services. Mr. Daly said that they have discussed about getting together on a regular basis to learn from each other. A volunteer said that she has worked at the front desk at Redmond for a while, and calls come from all over. Commissioner Unger stated that it is important to know what areas are being served. Ms. Bauersfeld that they are getting visits from Crook and Jefferson counties. Half of the spays and neuters are from Redmond, another quarter from other parts of the county, and the rest from other parts of the state. Commissioner Luke noted that Crook County is requiring mandatory licensing and rabies vaccinations. There has been discussion about licensing at no cost if the rabies vaccinations are done. Ms. Bauersfeld said that rabies is not an issue in the area, but it is possible as it can be transmitted by bats, raccoons or foxes. There have been cases of rabies in livestock in other areas. She said that cats should also get a rabies shot. Mr. Daly brought up the concept of a thrift store. They are doing a lot of bookings at the event center, mostly on weekends. The RV park is generating $500 a month revenue now, and could go as high as $2,500 when full. They are signing a sublease on a new thrift store, near Safeway. They have a business plan for the thrift store, and are requesting assistance on making some improvements, such as clothing racks and shelving. They'd like to use their credit line in the amount of $15,000 to get this established. The lease is $2,500 a month to start, which is less than 50 cents per square foot for a high-traffic location. Thrift stores are good revenue generators, and this may help the shelter reach a break-even point. Ms. Roden said that their thrift store is their biggest source of revenue, and they in fact added another location. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Wednesday, March 31, 2010 Page 3 of 8 Pages Commissioner Baney said that the Humane Society of Redmond was in a very precarious situation not that long ago, but their board and others have really pulled together to work at making it successful. She is very impressed with what has been accomplished. 3. Discussion of Hearing, Ordinance 2010-015, Goal Exception - Wireless Telecommunications Facilities - Oregon Water Wonderland II Sewer District. Will Groves gave a brief overview of the item. The conservation easement and zoning would not normally allow wireless telecommunications facilities on the subject property or in the zone. Staff concurred with the Hearings Officer's decision, allowing the use. The Board is required under Code to approve a plan amendment in this regard, even if there is no objection from the public. The Sewer District would like this to take place, as it would result in revenue for the District. The actual approval of the application would be through an additional process, including it going before a Hearings Officer. Commissioner Unger asked about lighting, as he does not like seeing the flashing lights. Laurie Craghead said that this is controlled by the F.A.A. 4. Update regarding Destination Resort Remapping. Peter Gutowsky and Nick Lelack presented the update. The testimony was continued to April 5 from the previous hearing date. Mr. Gutowsky referred to an oversized map showing eligible properties that are not presently mapped. 112,000, plus 58,000. Commissioner Baney asked what information is going out to the public in this regard. Mr. Gutowsky said that the public has been altered if they have testified in the past, and it is also posted on the CDD website. The only lands excluded on the map are federal lands. About 24,000 belong to irrigation districts. State lands have also been added. Commissioner Luke said that there are reasons for reducing the map. He does not understand why more is being added. This cannot be reviewed for another 30 months. The wholesale addition of this much acreage is a problem. This is not the direction that the previous Board and this Board wanted. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Wednesday, March 31, 2010 Page 4 of 8 Pages Mr. Gutowsky said the Planning Commission would make these properties eligible to ask to be added; it would not automatically be done. Commissioner Luke stated that people want some assurances that property is or is not eligible. There are clearly a lot of properties that could not be approved for this use. Commissioner Tammy stated that it is important to vet the two sides, and more information can be obtained. Commissioner Unger said he thought the language was the question, as to what might be included. Mr. Gutowsky said the Board extended the hearing to allow for more testimony. There has been little testimony offered since then. Staff has been working on this for about a year, including off-site work sessions with the public. Most residents want to see the map reduced. The Board and Planning Commission both concurred. The feedback from the Planning Commission has been that they want to introduce for consideration some additional concepts. It may be worth going over those. This includes lands with 40 or more acres contiguous with irrigation, or 60 or more under the same ownership - large blocks of irrigated farm land. Another is platted subdivisions; removing those is recommended, as the minimum 160 acres would likely not be met. The Planning Commission said those should stay on the map. Add undeveloped or unimproved subdivisions that were platted. Also, add eligibility criteria to cluster developments that have over 50% of property dedicated as open space. There are four of those, including Aspen Lakes in Sisters. The last motion pertained to the grandfather clause, and the Planning Commission wanted those retained unless they specifically request in writing that they be taken off the map. This is the opposite of what was decided in 2009. Commissioner Luke asked whether other counties' efforts to disallow destination resorts have worked. Ms. Lelack said that they would have to go through a Goal 8 exception process. If you are not on a map and there is no process to get on a map, it is a very complicated process. Once a map has been adopted, it cannot be changed for 3 0 months. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Wednesday, March 31, 2010 Page 5 of 8 Pages Commissioner Luke stated that land use planning was supposed to make it easier for people to know what to do with their land, or to have some assurances what others might be able to do with their land. Mr. Gutowsky said that it should be black and white - based on size, zoning, etc. - as the idea is to try to minimize the controversy. Discussion occurred regarding whether closing the hearing next week or to leave it open to allow for more information to be provided, since Commissioner Luke will not be in attendance on Monday. Mr. Lelack stated that the population of the Bend UGB has not been determined. Once it is acknowledged, as they approach the 100,000 population threshold, no destination resorts would be allowed. Mr. Gutowsky said that conservatively he does not think it will make this threshold. 5. Other Items. Tom Anderson said a family asked about financial assistance to replace a failing septic tank. They were referred to NeighborImpact and U.S.D.A. The failure was severe and a contractor was called in. Dan Haldeman gave a verbal okay to do the work because of potential health ramifications. The woman said that she was turned down by U.S.D.A. and NeighborImpact said they would not loan money for work that was already done. There was discussion about backing loans that are high risk. This needed to get done for public health and safety reasons. NeighborImpact acknowledged this is a problem, and will work on an emergency program. If it turns out that they are not eligible for this, the County's program might be able to help. Unfortunately, it does not help this particular property owner at this time. It appears that the work was done within a couple of days after the initial call. NeighborImpact might have responded within a day or two of her call. Commissioner Baney said that she wants to support use of the rehab dollars, and perhaps she might not have qualified. Mr. Anderson said she is eligible for a $3,750 rebate, but the work cost about $101000. The system and drain field were expanded and the nitrogen reducing component had to be used. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Wednesday, March 31, 2010 Page 6 of 8 Pages Commissioner Unger said it needs to be determined if she has income issues and if it is clearly a situation where she normally would have received help. Commissioner Luke observed that it appears the system might have been failing for some time. Ms. Craghead said the contract and program are not yet finalized, and asked if there are others who had to put in systems prior to this who might also want to be included. Commissioner Baney stated that the County may have some responsibility to address this, as discussions had already taken place with NeighborImpact. She asked if this has happened to others. Ms. Craghead said discussions with NeighborImpact began a year ago. Mr. Anderson said that this is a unique situation. It sounds as if she might qualify for the original program already in place with NeighborImpact. The difference is that it became an emergency, which is no fault of the County. Commissioner Luke said that there are alternatives even in an emergency, and the contractors know this as well. The tank should have been pumped to allow a little time. She made a decision to do this before knowing how it would be paid. Commissioner Unger stated that the environment is better because this was fixed. Commissioner Luke said that people should not do this and expect the County to pay. Commissioner Baney stated that she has not contacted the Commissioners. She may not have known what her options were at the time. She needs to be contacted to find out if she indeed would qualify under normal circumstances. Mr. Anderson said that the program is not yet in place, but NeighborImpact is working on it. He asked them if they can help at this point, and they said their rules do not allow for this. They will investigate further. At 3: 25 p. m., the Board went into executive session under ORS 192.660(2) (h), Litigation, which concluded at 4: 20 p.m. Being no further items addressed, the meeting adjourned at 4:25 p.m. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Wednesday, March 31, 2010 Page 7 of 8 Pages DATED this 31St Day of March 2010 for the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners. x..

Lynne Ouchida, humane educator for ten years, regularly provides presentations in Bend, LaPine and Sisters. The program provides three basic programs; responsible pet care, bite prevention/safety around pets and the link between human and animal abuse. Custom programs are created to meet the requirements of the teachers. The education program also informs the community on HSCO's role in caring for the people and animals in our community. The goals of the education program are to be utilized as a first resource for animal welfare issues and to teach humane treatment and respect for all animals. Animal welfare issues include pet overpopulation and adoption as first option. An increasing number of schools, classes and youth group come to HSCO for presentations and tours. Many of these visits incorporate community service projects of making things for the animals (cat toys, beds, scratching posts, biscuits, etc) or volunteering their time. HSCO's humane education program reaches public and private school, at-risk youth program, private and public pre-K daycare programs, adult service groups, life skills program through public and private schools and Bend Parks and Recreation programs. 2009 Humane Education School Visits Number Reached at School visits 2yrs-adult Community Service project for student Includes Presentation Youth Groups (Campfire, Girl/Boy Scout, etc) January 2009 6 98 42 1 February 4 181 35 1 March 7 252 0 0 April 5 256 118 1 May 4 254 37 1 June 3 62 59 2 July 3 69 26 0 August 1 16 17 2 September 0 0 0 0 October 2 272 0 0 November 5 128 109 1 December 1 18 15 1 2009 TOTAL 41 1,606 458 10 Humane Education Highlights: HSCO's Humane Education had a presence at more community events in 2009.

The financial crisis which hit our area extremely hard in 2009 forced us to look at ways to support the needs of the animals in our community by providing low cost assistance to pet owners. Spaying and Neutering of dogs and cats is a cornerstone of our mission and we initiated a successful low cost spay and neuter program in 2009. The results of this program are found below. Other community activities included: Easter Extravaganza: An event focused on the children of our area was a huge success for the kids and parents. A number of activities were provided by volunteers and guests toured our shelter and got to see our great animals. Adoptions benefited as did memberships and donations throughout the day. Low Cost Vaccination Clinics: Two vaccination clinics were held in 2009 to provide a low cost alternative to pet owners in our area. Both were well attended and generated good will throughout the community. Education: Information kiosks were set up at six of Redmond's Summer Music Series events. We shared information about the shelter, animal care, and our activities such as the low cost spay and neuter program. Adoption Events: Four offsite adoption events were held including one in Sisters and one in Terrebonne. These events showcased our adoptable animals and allowed us to share our programs with the attendees. We highlighted some of the less adoptable animals at a special event and were able to find welcoming homes for these often overlooked animals. Photos with Santa: An annual event put on by a volunteer professional photographer yielded a great response as the community brought their pets by the shelter for free photos with Santa. Voluntary donations and memberships benefiting the shelter were a bonus to this free offering. At each of these events, staff and volunteers are available to answer questions, offer advice, and provide information about animal care. Adoptions, 2009: Adopting stray and unwanted animals is the single most important service we provide to our community. Finding lifetime homes for these animals requires skill and training which we have provided to our staff. The results for 2009 follow: Month Dos Cats Total January 52 45 97 February 36 34 70 March 54 45 99 Aril 40 45 85 May 29 71 100 June 43 106 149 July 39 76 1'15 August 64 49 113 September 29 33 62 October 35 23 58 November 36 24 60 December 24 38 62 Totals 481 589 1070 Low Cost Spay and Neuter Program, 2009: Results of this highly successful program are shown below: Month Dos Cats Total January 68 51 119 February 52 57 109 March 137 78 215 April 80 35 115 May 109 72 181 June 100 97 197 July 126 68 194 August 127 44 171 September 97 59 156 October 114 81 195 November 112 89 201 December 88 85 173 Totals 1210 816 2026 The increase in numbers as the program became more widely known bodes well for the future as we continue to provide this valuable service to our community. We anticipate that we will spay or neuter more than 3000 animals in 2010. Website: In 2009 the Humane Society of Redmond started a website as a means of disseminating information to our members and the community. In addition to pages dedicated to adoptions, events, spay and neuter, fostering, volunteering and others, the site provides links to useful sites for animal care. The website is our primary tool for updating and communicating with our membership and is a valuable addition to our services. In the 8 months between August'09 and March '10, our website generated 91,422 hits, or an average of 11,427 per month.. For each visit, the average viewer looks at about 10 of our individual pages. This comes to over 100,000 page viewings in 8 months. This represents an active website which allows interested members of our community to access important information about our shelter. Conclusion: The Humane Society of Redmond remains committed to the programs that we have developed over the last year to reach the community through adoptions, adoption counseling, advice on pet care, educational programs, offsite adoption events, fundraisers and our spay and neuter program. We are making an impact within our community that is measureable by the increase in our adoptions, spay and neuter numbers, and the amount of money raised through fundraisers and donations. We are looking forward to increasing our community outreach in 2010.

Executive Summary: The first six months of FY 2009 shows monthly income of $37,920 and expenses running at $41,220, yielding a net operating loss of $3,300/month. The picture for 2010 is more positive. Growth in new initiatives and expanded fund raising efforts should bring a slightly profitable position to the shelter. The CY 2010 budget shows monthly income of $45,118, expenses of $42,054 and a positive operating income of $3,065. Moving forward, our challenge is to grow our income base while keeping an eye on expenses, bringing the shelter even more opportunities for profitability. The five year projections show continuing growth in income providing a stable financial base for the shelter. 2. Vision: Within the next five years the Humane Society of Redmond (HSR) envisions itself as: ■ A world class animal shelter providing the very best care for the animals in our charge. a Increasing shelter services to our community. ■ Able to meet the obligations of the county loan as described in the RLA. ■ Providing a desirable workplace and support for our full time staff. 3. Mission Statement: Adopted in 2009 The Humane Society of Redmond is dedicated to enriching the lives of displaced animals through quality care and adoption to a responsible, loving home. With community education and support, and the efforts of our staff and volunteers we will realize this goal for every animal in our care. 4. Assessing our Current Position: 2009 the Year of Starting Anew Challenges: The HSR Board of Directors (BOD) was challenged with building a funding base to provide for continuing operations while Shelter Administration was challenged with reducing costs without negatively impacting services. Great strides have been taken in both areas and are reviewed below. A major challenge for 2009 was to overcome the negative publicity associated with the Shelter and instill pride in the community we serve. With the funding provided by the County RLA in late 2008, the doors to the Shelter remained open and operations continued. Humane Society of Redmond Strategic/Financial Plan Page 3 of 17 Community Service: The HSR is an operating shelter providing valuable services to the community, including: (all CY2009 totals) Housing and medical care for 1102 dogs 1189 cats Spay and neuter of 1181 dogs and cats from the shelter, and 848 dogs and cats for the public. The income from public spays and neuters helped pay for our in-house animals and was effectively a net positive. Three low-cost vaccination clinics for dogs and cats Continuing education for the community via numerous events focused on children families and animal care Cost Containment: Significant changes were initiated at the shelter in an effort to reduce costs, including: Staff was reduced from a high of 17 to 8 full-time and 2 part-time employees. We eliminated the Executive Director position, relying on the BOD to assume these responsibilities. Volunteers now fill many positions previously reserved for paid employees. Medications required for the animals have been secured at significantly lower cost through local veterinarians and drug manufacturers. In addition to reducing costs, we were able to increase services in Low Cost Spay and Neuter and other programs which added to the bottom line. Revenue Generation: In a seriously down economy fundraising was a significant challenge. The BOD pursued traditional and innovative avenues for revenue generation including: Fundraising Events: Over 20 events generated $22,000, in addition, three "Good Stuff Sales" netted over $20,000 bring the total to $42,000 for the year. New RV Storage Lot: November and December averaged $550/month Event Center Rentals: Predictably over $600/month income Grant Initiatives: Providing over $9,000 in cash and equipment Donations: We recovered from the negative impression of the Shelter in late 2008 as exhibited by over $75,000 in annual donations in 2009. Humane Society of Redmond Strategic/Financial Plan Page 4 of 17 Finances: The first half of FY2009 exhibited monthly income of $37,920, expenses of $41,220, resulting in a net operating loss of $3,301/month. Considering where we started in January, this was a good start for the reworked organization. A "high level" financial review of 2009 is shown in Appendix A. The numbers are drawn from the second half of '09 when we were in full operating mode and are the best predictors for the future. In 2009, the HSR reduced the County Loans as shown below: County Loans - 2009 Date To HSR Pd to County Princi ~ Intend Balance Notes 19-Feb-09 $8,000 $1,278,588 Draw 23-Sep-09 $70,000 $39,227 $30,773 $1,239,361 Trust Income 21-Oct-09 $310,597 $307,209 $3,388 $932,152 Trust Income 23-0ct-09 $8,300 $940,452 Draw 23-oct-09 $18,512 $958,964 RV Lot 20-Nov-09 $8,223 $967,187 RV Lot 12-Dec-09 $2,755 $969,942 RV Lot The total expenditures for the RV Storage facility were $29,490 in 2009. This figure reflects the total costs of the program. Forecasted financials for 2010 (Appendix B.) detail expected revenue increases. 5. 2010 Annual Forecast: Continuing efforts to build income in 2010 should result in the following: Shelter Income: Adoption prices will be raised -30% for dogs and -12% for cats in 2010. Renegotiated county and city contracts should yield an annual increase, but will only be reflected in the second half of 2010. Fundraising Efforts: A fundraiser in concert with the Crescent Moon Alpaca Ranch is expected to exceed 2009 results by $2,000 to $6,000. Additional events should bring in an additional $3,500. Included is a Golf Tournament co-sponsored by Aspen Lakes Golf Course. A can drive initiated in late 2009 is now providing over $500/month. Humane Society of Redmond Strategic/Financial Plan Page 5 of 17 RV Storage: Started late in 2009, the reserved spaces in the HSR RV Storage Lot should increase to provide $1,330/month. The lot is presently 1/3 full (14 spaces) and bookings should increase when RV's come up from the south in the Spring. Event Center Rentals: Through a series of directed advertising campaigns the Event Center Rentals will nearly double in 2010 to over $1,500/month. We have 13 bookings so far this year (weddings, parties, etc.) and we expect increased activity. Other Activities: Grants are expected to double in 2010 to average $1,400/month through a focused effort by several members of the BOD. Memberships are very low among residents and businesses in Redmond. A new membership drive via direct contact with local organizations has begun and should increase memberships to $1,000/month in 2010. New Initiatives: The HSR may participate in a matching grant program through a private foundation. This charitable organization has discussed matching donations to the HSR on a dollar for dollar basis, higher for BOD donations. We expect to receive up to $50,000 from this beneficial event in 2010. The program may continue for three years if accepted. 2010 Summary: With these predicted sources of revenue in 2010, the Shelter is on course to show a small profit. The CY2010 budget shows income of $541,412, expenses of $504,642, resulting in a net income of $36,770 or $3,065/month. See financial review in Appendix B. Adjustments were made for donations and Event Center rentals which showed seasonal increases in December, these have been amortized over 12 months in the spreadsheet. The Line of Credit, used in 2009 to fund the RV Lot construction, is presently at $44,210 and will be used from time to time to "even out the bumps" in monthly income vs. expenses. It is likely we will have several withdrawals early in the year until fundraising season kicks into high gear in the Spring. The events surrounding the Redmond Centennial should also bolster our cash flow. The HSR 2010 budget shows no incremental monthly service to the County Loan debt. A second distribution from the Teater Trust may be forthcoming in 2010 and could be as high as $300,000. If this distribution is realized, the loan balance will be approximately $727,000. Humane Society of Redmond Strategic/Financial Plan Page 6 of 17 6, 2011 to 2014: Looking Forward Facing the possibility of positive financial performance in 2010, the challenges remain to grow the shelter and actively pursue additional funding. By 2014, we should see shelter net income of almost $120,000 and a reserve fund of over $300,000, guaranteeing sustainability of the organization. See Appendices C and D for details. Strategies: Low Cost Opportunities: ■ Grow Memberships to 600 or $22,000/year. Still a small number considering the population. ■ Develop larger donors and benefactors to bring donations and matching grants to over $190,000 annually. • Work more closely with the city of Sisters to develop a more responsive donor base. ■ Hold a Golf Tournament with Aspen Lakes Golf Club to benefit the HSR. The location of this event will bring us closer to the Sisters community. Capital Intensive Opportunities: Operate a full time Thrift Store: The BOD still believes a Thrift store can provide a steady stream of revenue for the Shelter. The three "Good Stuff Sales" held in 2009, a total of 16 sale days, netted over $20,000. The donations were readily available from our supporters and of very high quality. The BOD will consider this funding opportunity when appropriate. Incorporate a Veterinary Clinic within the Shelter: Geared toward providing veterinary services to low income pet owners, this facility adds another benefit to the community. The recent addition of a donated x-ray machine, supplementing our fully functioning operating room, makes the shelter a viable veterinary clinic. Staffed by technicians and veterinarians donating a portion of their time, we can offer low cost veterinary services to the community. Although our pricing will be lower, our lower cost structure should allow us to operate the clinic at the 40% gross margins common in the veterinary industry. The spreadsheet below details the cash flow for this program: HSR Veterinary Clinic 2010 2011 2012 201 2014 Revenue $24,000 $38,000 $55,000 $80,000 Capital Costs $10,000 $5,000 COGS $4,200 $7,000 $10,000 $14,000 Veterinarian $11,000 $17,500 $24,000 $35,000 met $3,800 $13,500 $21,000 $31,000 GM% 16% 36% 38% 39% Humane Society of Redmond Strategic/Financial Plan Page 7 of 17 Long Term County Loan Service: The following is an approximation of the County Loan service over the five years detailed in this plan: County Loan Paydown Schedule: 2070 2011 ?i12 2013 2014 Starting Balance $969,942 $731,770 $760,309 $769,961 $759,989 Interest (3.9% APR) $37,828 $28,539 $29,652 $30,028 $29,640 Draws $24,000 $0 $0 $0 $0 Trust Distributions $300,000 $0 $0 $0 $0 payments from Operations $0 $0 $20,000 $40,000 $60,000 Observations on this schedule: ■ Net profitability of the shelter operations will be insufficient to pay-down the loan. Payment of interest only is possible. • This schedule assumes the following assets remain as collateral against the loan but are not forecast to deliver sufficient income to pay down the loan in the next five years: Teater Trust: The Trust holds approximately I 1 acres of land in Redmond adjacent to the mobile home park. The Trust also has nearly $700,000 remaining in cash accounts which may be distributed in 2010. One half of these proceeds would go to HSR the other half to HSCO. Shultz Estate Trust: The Shultz Estate is tied to timber and land, both in significantly down markets. HSR received a single $70,000 distribution from this trust in 2009. Distributions in 2010 cannot be predicted. Two and one-half acres of land, the Event Center building, and the RV Storage Facility are presently deeded to the county as part of the RLA. These three assets provide ample resources to pay back the county loan but are not sufficiently liquid to affect the loan within the next five years.
