Deschutes County Clerk Certificate Page 4 Q Deschutes County Board of Commissioners 1300 NW Wall St., Suite 200, Bend, OR 97701-1960 (541) 388-6570 - Fax (541) 385-3202 - www.deschutes.ora MINUTES OF WORK SESSION DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2010 Present were Commissioners Dennis R. Luke, Alan Unger and Tammy Baney. Also present were Dave Kanner, County Administrator; Erik Kropp, Deputy County Administrator; and, for a portion of the meeting, George Kolb, Road Department; Nick Lelack, Will Groves, Eric Mone and Peter Russell, Community Development; and Judith Ure, Administration. No representatives of the media or other citizens were present. Chair Luke opened the meeting at 1:30 p.m. 1. Grant Application for Tumalo Trail Project. Peter Russell said that ODOT is looking for projects to fund that are not highway-related. The Tumalo Trail Project has been proposed. Preliminary cost estimates are known and the appropriate match can be made. Bend Park & Recreation District is supportive and this is part of their long-term plan. Commissioner Luke asked what kind of paving surface would be used, since it would be next to the Deschutes River. He was advised that there is no final plan yet but that an environmental study would be required. Discussion occurred regard access to Highway 20 and potential uses. Dave Kanner said that the County has a park acquisition and development fund, Fund 130. Some funds were distributed in 2005 to various park districts, but there are funds remaining. Tom Anderson added that there was a preliminary determination that the collection of the funds constituted an SDC; but a revised legal interpretation found that it was appropriate since the fund was established before SDC rules were in place. The funding comes from the development of subdivisions outside of the cities, so it is not a huge amount, and there probably will not be a lot of new revenue in the future. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Wednesday, September 22, 2010 Page 1 of 6 Pages In regard to the La Pine Park & Recreation District, the New Neighborhood trail was to be built by the County with the residents doing ongoing maintenance. This was before the area was incorporated into the new City of La Pine and before the La Pine Park District obtained a tax base. It may not be necessary for the County to build the trail at this point. Mr. Kanner asked whether the Board wants to distribute the existing funds or to let it continue to accumulate for an unknown future use. Commissioner Luke suggested that the funds remain in the fund for now, but to grant the amount needed for the Tumalo Trail Project. Commissioners Unger and Baney said that there are unincorporated areas that would like to enhance their open space as well, including Terrebonne and Tumalo, which do not have park districts. However, once you start giving funds to one district, they will all want some and there is not that much to go around. BANEY: Move the required match for the Tumalo Trail Project in the amount of $24,000, from Fund 130. UNGER: Second. VOTE: BANEY: Yes. UNGER: Yes. LUKE: Chair votes yes. 2. Public Affairs Counsel Legislative Planning Session. Mr. Kanner said the temporary restaurant licensing fee issue has not been presented to the lobbyist as a priority issue, but a draft has been developed. The Department of Human Services representative and a representative of the Farmers Market Association met with a legislator who agreed to carry a Bill. If it goes through the process, some problems would be addressed, but not all. It is only helpful for the same event groups at the same locations. Eric Mone said that this would not solve the issue of the price of inspections. Nick Lelack said that there are different categories, some of which are part of agricultural uses but some that are not. The land in the valley is quite different from that found in Central Oregon. A conference call with Erica Hagendorn was then established. Mark Nelson was not yet available. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Wednesday, September 22, 2010 Page 2 of 6 Pages The revenue forecast on page 3 of the packet (a copy of which is attached) shows a significant shortage of at least $400 million. There will be another round of 9% cuts even though there may be some federal support for various programs. There is very little money available outside of federal allocations. The Governor will be asked not to cut specific programs. The cuts would go into effect on October 1. There is no funding mechanism to pay for most of them. The E-Board will try to find funding for various programs by taking from others, including from reserve funds and smaller programs. Mark Nelson then joined the meeting. He said that the primary source of the funds might be the reversions that are left unused at the end of the year. This could be around $40 million. The Governor's race seems to be very close. The race for Treasurer does not seem to be as close, and it is an uphill battle for Senator Telfer. Other races for legislative seats were then discussed. Page 33 of packet show the legislative timelines. Commissioner Luke asked if those who are elected in November would be allowed to participate in pre- session filings. Mr. Nelson stated that the new legislators would not take office until January, and there are going to be many variables in regard to deadlines. It will be hard to have a short session if nothing can be started until January. In regard to matters of importance to the County, these include issues relating to food service - temporary restaurant licensing - addressed by Eric Mone. Representative Clem will be carrying the bill. The County wants to be supportive, but won't take the lead. The Regional Health Authority group will have a draft bill meant to establish pilot programs. Mr. Kanner said that this came out of the Oregon Health Authority and offers a way to structure the programs. It is a huge and very controversial issue locally, as local control is always preferable and this is no exception. It is hoped that budgets can get rebuilt, but Mr. Nelson feels that they won't see a lot of budgets finalized soon. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Wednesday, September 22, 2010 Page 3 of 6 Pages Commissioner Baney expressed concern about programs that might be cut. Mr. Kanner stated that the State is looking at various fees and perhaps will make them general fund dollars. Commissioner Luke said this could have statewide implications. Tom Anderson said that a legislative concept from DEQ would have funding coming from fees and penalties. They are subject to additional cutbacks and are looking to shore that up. This is a concern as it relates to south County groudnwater issues. A date for the next legislative update may not happen until after the general election. The conference call ended at this time. 3. Update of Commissioners' Meetings and Schedules. None were discussed. 4. Other Items. Will Groves updated the Board on previous action taken on the Lower Bridge Mine site issue, and requirements set forth at that time. The smaller parcel of the two has been reclaimed and signed off by DOGAMI. The applicant is pursuing a zone change, but there is no time limit associated with this. It was not appealed at LUBA as originally anticipated. There is a provison on the 160-acre portion that requires a `no further action required' label before it can be developed for residential use. The zone change comes first, but is the first step in a long process. The Board allowed for rezoning of the larger parcel if certain conditions are met. The neighbors state that the applicant has not been watering the site and has broken the resolution that would let them pursue a rezone. Commissioner Luke pointed out that the County has no jurisdiction of the cleanup of the site. The neighbors also say that they have seen trucks coming and going, removing gravel that the applicant said was stored by a third party and was to be removed. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Wednesday, September 22, 2010 Page 4 of 6 Pages Mr. Anderson said that a Code enforcement action involving an old building on the site that was identified as being hazardous. The inspector agreed it was dangerous, and the building was demolished. There are still large pieces of equipment still remaining that the neighbors feel are unsightly. The property owner claims that they are salvageable and could be bought by another mining operation to use elsewhere. They would also have value just for the scrap metal. The owner intends to sell the equipment as the market allows. The question is whether this equipment can be considered solid waste. County staff is not knowledgeable enough about mining equipment to make that determination. The Commissioners noted that there is farming equipment in fields that may not be attractive but is allowed to remain. This is mining equipment located on a mining site. Commissioner Baney asked how the County can move forward on this issue. Mr. Groves replied that the cleanup will cost a lot of money, and the funds would have to come from lot sales. The real estate market remains stagnant and therefore no funding is available to be able to do cleanup. One argument is that exposure to dust long-term is hazardous to health. If the processing of the soil there is being mobilized into the air, someone definitely should not be breathing it. No one knows the exact hazard level. The applicant's attorney said they are putting together the environmental testing information, but will go no further until lot sales are feasible due to the cost. Commissioner Baney asked if the County can ask, on behalf of the neighbors, for testing to proceed through the DEQ. Commissioner Luke said that if the applicant does not pay property taxes, the County will end up with the property and all of its problems, so care must be taken in regard to trying to force things in the current economy. Mr. Groves stated that the applicant has a right to not allow access. The DEQ has already said it is not hazardous. The Department of Human Services had offered to handle the sampling portion if the DEQ would cooperate. Commissioner Luke suggested that a letter be drafted asking the DEQ to initiate a study. Will Groves will develop a draft. The cost of addressing this issue could be potential high, and the County may or may not help with funding depending on the situation and other factors. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Wednesday, September 22, 2010 Page 5 of 6 Pages In regard to the sage grouse strategy set forth by the ODF&W Commission, AOC sent a draft resolution to the Board for discussion and adoption if applicable. BANEY: Move approval of Resolution No. 2010-117. UNGER: Second. VOTE: BANEY: Yes. UNGER: Yes. LUKE: Chair votes yes. Being no further items discussed, the meeting adjourned at 3: 30 p. m.

A project that was identified some time ago as a possibility for a grant is a riverside pedestrian trail from Tumalo to Tumalo State Park (see attached letter from Bend Metro Parks and Recreation to former Associate Planner Kristen Maze). The local match for this project would be about $24,000. Funds could potentially be available from the Park Development Fund (fund 132) which currently has $132,000 budgeted and about $119,000 in actual cash. Revenue to fund 132 comes from a per-lot fee assessed on subdivisions in the County. Needless to say, there is - at best - a trickle of money coming into the fund anymore. In 2005, the Board disbursed grants from the fund to local park districts for a variety of projects but held on to the balance of the fund to pay for future County projects, none of which have come to pass. (The Tumalo trail was not one of them.) The work session on the 22°d, then, offers the opportunity to talk not only about this specific project, but the future of the Park Development Fund. My recommendation to you is that we use $24,000 from fund 132 as the match for this trail project, but that we continue to hold on to the rest of the money in the fund until we can determine which, if any, other County projects might be going forward in the foreseeable future. Enhancing the Lives of Citizens by Delivering Quality Services in a Cost-Effective Manner Ad& Bend Park & Recreation D I S T R I C T Kristen Maze Associate Planner Deschutes County 117 NW Lafayette St. Bend, Oregon 97701 Document Reproduces Poorly (Archived) SUBJECT: Tumalo Community Plan Kristen, Planning and Development 799 SW Columbia Bend, OR 97702 541/706-6100 February 11, 2010 The Bend Park and Recreation District provides parks, trails and recreation programming for residents of the district, which for the most part encompasses the Bend Urban Area. The Tumalo community is located outside of the district boundary by approximately two (2) miles. However, the district does have recreational interests that extend outside the current district boundary. In 2002, the district and the City of Bend collaborated on the development of the Deschutes River Action Plan. This plan identified the desire to complete the Deschutes River Trail through Bend and connect it on both ends to destinations outside the urban area. The northern extent of the trail follows the Deschutes River from the Bend UGB to Tumalo State Park and on to the Tumalo community.

"I'. ATAINS40COMPA NYrt w b..l•. rlm w..,td~. Wl o.ia.a.msreaa eae<nms The 2002 design identified in the "North Reach" above shows the trail exiting north from Tumalo State Park on the east side of the river. Based on our most recent field review and analysis, we believe that it may instead be prudent to cross the trail over the river at the OB Riley bridge on the pedestrian walkway and follow the west side of the river up to the undercrossing (under US20) and on to Riverview St. There appears to be ample overhead clearance and enough room under foot to keep the trail above the high water level. This portion of the corridor is in public ownership and eliminates the need for a new pedestrian bridge downstream of the existing US20 Bridge. The district continues to work with private property owners and Oregon State Parks in an ongoing effort to assemble a continuous publicly-owned corridor for the trail. Fortunately, the portions of the trail corridor closest to the Tumalo Unincorporated Community are already in public ownership. s 7" 1 t4 Page 2 of 3 9/15/2010 However, there are multiple "demand" paths rather than a singular trail and they are in an unimproved state and not suitable for users beyond hikers and mountain bikes. The district would support the development of this trail corridor between the Tumalo Community and Tumalo State Park as a hard-surfaced shared-use path that utilizes the current grade-separated crossing underneath the US20 bridge on the west side of the Deschutes River. The Community Plan should reflect this recreation and transportation opportunity that will provide a safe, non-motorized access to Tumalo State Park (with a connection to OB Riley Rd.) as well as potentially enhance the safety for recreational river users that may need a safe take-out location when they run this section of the river. In addition, there also appears to be a reasonably-sized natural area with old-growth Juniper trees on public land at the SW corner of US20 and the Deschutes River that could possibly be enhanced as a passive park site in conjunction with the trail. We hesitate to believe that this new trail/path connection would replace the need for additional safety crossing improvements at Cook Ave. /US20. Rather, we see this as an additional enhancement that will provide mostly a recreational purpose yet give less experienced or more cautious/vulnerable cyclists, as well as pedestrians, the option to travel along the river versus crossing US20 at- grade. If implemented properly, there should be minimal out-of-direction travel involved versus crossing US20 from Cook Ave. to OB Riley Rd.

PAC prefers to get as much advance notice about these priorities as possible, in case there's a matter that requires pre-session filing or if they need to work with others who are pre-session filing legislation. While the session is almost certain to be dominated by economic and budget matters, there are a number of items we can expect the legislature to take up that will directly impact Deschutes County. They are as follows: 1. Legislation to specifically allow and empower the creation of a regional health authority. Deschutes County is leading the way on this concept and the path toward it can be significantly smoother with enabling legislation. 2. Revision of destination resort siting statutes. Nick Lelack has been serving on an interim committee chaired by State Sen. Jackie Dingfelder that plans to introduce legislation. 3. Revisions to the transportation planning rule. The 2009 session passed the relatively toothless (my personal opinion) HB 3379. DLCD has still not created the implementing administrative rules and many cities, including those represented by the Central Oregon Cities Organization, are frustrated and demanding additional legislative action. AOC has been monitoring this but not actively participating. Deschutes County, as a major landowner who is being stymied by the TPR, has a huge stake in the outcome of this debate. 4. Legislation to clarify what types of commercial activity can be permitted on EFU land. An AOC committee has been looking at this issue. I'm not sure where they're at in terms of having any legislation ready to introduce in 2011.' 5. DEQ is putting forth a legislative concept (attached) that would allow the Environmental Quality Commission to adopt rules for DEQ to make loans and grants for repair, replacement and decommissioning of septic systems and for the development of Enhancing the Lives of Citizens by Delivering Quality Services in a Cost-Effective Manner community-based solutions for sewage disposal problems. Seems like something we should support. In addition to the above, in late August, I sent an e-mail to the department heads to solicit input about department-specific legislative priorities or items their affiliate associations might be working on. I received the following responses: - Scot Langton indicated that he is serving on a couple of interim committees that are dealing with inequities in the current property tax system. He is not sure what, if any, legislation will come from these committees, but would like to have any property tax legislation monitored by PAC. - Nick Lelack has heard from certain lobbyists that there may be a bill introduced to create a goal 11 exception for the extension of sewers in south Deschutes County. Nick also says there may be attempts to make modifications to HB 2228, the bill relating to the transfer of development rights for Skyline Forest. The Board should carefully review the proposals and determine its position and level of priority. - Chuck Fadeley said he has heard from AOC that there may be legislation introduced to abolish justice courts (on the premise that they siphon revenue from the state courts). This is something we should definitely monitor and have Chuck talk to PAC about. - Nancy Blankenship reports that her statewide association is working on a proposal (actually put forth by the Government Efficiency Task Force) to get counties out of the precinct committee person (PCP) election business. Deschutes County spent about $18,000 on PCP elections in 2008. The clerks submitted legislation in 2009 (SB 613, that did not move out of committee) that would have made a number of changes to PCP elections and it sounds like they will try again in 2011. Onsite Sewage Disposal System Funds (LC 848) What is the Onsite Wastewater Management Program? Over 30 percent of Oregonians dispose of wastewater from their homes and businesses through the use of onsite wastewater treatment systems (septic systems). The siting, design, installation and ongoing operation and maintenance of septic systems are all aspects of wastewater treatment regulated by DEQ. Without this oversight septic systems can fail or malfunction, pollute Oregon's land and waterways with raw sewage and create public health hazards. DEQ directly manages Oregon's septic system program - often referred to as the "Onsite Program"- in fourteen counties. These counties are called "direct service counties." Twenty-two counties manage the program under contract with DEQ and these counties are called "contract counties". DEQ and the contract counties are also responsible for ensuring that septic tank pumpers have the necessary equipment to safely pump, transport and dispose of the waste from septic systems. This waste is often called "septage." In addition, DEQ certifies and licenses installers and pumpers, and reviews and approves products such as septic tanks, alternative treatment technologies and alternative drainfield products. What is Legislative Concept (LC) 848? LC 848 authorizes the Environmental Quality Commission, DEQ's rulemaking and policy board, to adopt rules for DEQ to make grants or loans available for the repair, replacement or decommissioning of septic systems. The funds may also be used for the development of community-based solutions for sewage disposal problems provided those solutions comply with applicable land use regulations. The grants or loans would be based on hardship and would be used to protect public health by helping to fund the repair, replacement or decommission of failing septic systems. LC 848 also establishes a fund (the Subsurface Sewage Disposal System Improvement Fund) that would be used to assist communities in addressing health or water quality problems associated with individual septic systems. A portion of the fund must be dedicated to training programs related to installation, operation, maintenance and technical assistance on individual septic systems. Civil penalties collected from onsite septic system fines would go into the fund, as well as any gifts or grants. Why is LC 848 needed? Oregon's onsite wastewater management program receives multiple requests for assistance from many communities in Oregon with known pollution problems from septic systems. Currently all revenue comes from application fees for permits, reports and licenses and the program does not have the funding or capacity to engage in these activities, including outreach and education, training, and coordination with communities. In addition, DEQ estimates that 10 percent of existing septic systems around Oregon are in need of repair or replacement to protect human health and the environment. Replacing septic systems can be very expensive (generally starting at $3,000 and can go up to over $20,000) and there are many property owners in Oregon that cannot afford to replace/upgrade the failing systems.

The Office of Economic Analysis indicated that Oregon's economy is experiencing an "anemic" recovery that has stalled since the beginning of the year. Oregon currently has the seventh-slowest job growth of any state. The $377.5 million drop from the June 2010 forecast for Oregon's current budget (2009-2011) is mainly due to a drop in personal income tax projections. Lottery and corporate income tax collections were anticipated to improve very slightly, but the massive $402 million drop in personal income tax overshadows these small gains. Oregon still has $111 million in reserves between the Rainy Day Fund and the Education Stability Fund for this current budget cycle. The 2011-2013 budget forecast is projected to be down another $622 million. We will keep you updated if we hear anything definitive on a special session to rebalance the budget.

PAC prefers to get as much advance notice about these priorities as possible, in case there's a matter that requires pre-session filing or if they need to work with others who are pre-session filing legislation. While the session is almost certain to be dominated by economic and budget matters, there are a number of items we can expect the legislature to take up that will directly impact Deschutes County. They are as follows: 1. Legislation to specifically allow and empower the creation of a regional health authority. Deschutes County is leading the way on this concept and the path toward it can be significantly smoother with enabling legislation. 2. Revision of destination resort siting statutes. Nick Lelack has been serving on an interim committee chaired by State Sen. Jackie Dingfelder that plans to introduce legislation. 3. Revisions to the transportation planning rule. The 2009 session passed the relatively toothless (my personal opinion) HB 3379. DLCD has still not created the implementing administrative rules and many cities, including those represented by the Central Oregon Cities Organization, are frustrated and demanding additional legislative action. AOC has been monitoring this but not actively participating. Deschutes County, as a major landowner who is being stymied by the TPR, has a huge stake in the outcome of this debate. 4. Legislation to clarify what types of commercial activity can be permitted on EFU land. An AOC committee has been looking at this issue. I'm not sure where they're at in terms of having any legislation ready to introduce in 2011.' 5. DEQ is putting forth a legislative concept (attached) that would allow the Environmental Quality Commission to adopt rules for DEQ to make loans and grants for repair, replacement and decommissioning of septic systems and for the development of Enhancing the Lives of Citizens by Delivering Quality Services in a Cost-Effective Manner 34 community-based solutions for sewage disposal problems. Seems like something we should support. In addition to the above, in late August, I sent an e-mail to the department heads to solicit input about department-specific legislative priorities or items their affiliate associations might be working on. I received the following responses: - Scot Langton indicated that he is serving on a couple of interim committees that are dealing with inequities in the current property tax system. He is not sure what, if any, legislation will come from these committees, but would like to have any property tax legislation monitored by PAC. - Nick Lelack has heard from certain lobbyists that there may be a bill introduced to create a goal 11 exception for the extension of sewers in south Deschutes County. Nick also says there may be attempts to make modifications to HB 2228, the bill relating to the transfer of development rights for Skyline Forest. The Board should carefully review the proposals and determine its position and level of priority. - Chuck Fadeley said he has heard from AOC that there may be legislation introduced to abolish justice courts (on the premise that they siphon revenue from the state courts). This is something we should definitely monitor and have Chuck talk to PAC about. - Nancy Blankenship reports that her statewide association is working on a proposal (actually put forth by the Government Efficiency Task Force) to get counties out of the precinct committee person (PCP) election business. Deschutes County spent about $18,000 on PCP elections in 2008. The clerks submitted legislation in 2009 (SB 613, that did not move out of committee) that would have made a number of changes to PCP elections and it sounds like they will try again in 2011. 35 Onsite Sewage Disposal System Funds (LC 848) What is the Onsite Wastewater Management Program? Over 30 percent of Oregonians dispose of wastewater from their homes and businesses through the use of onsite wastewater treatment systems (septic systems). The siting, design, installation and ongoing operation and maintenance of septic systems are all aspects of wastewater treatment regulated by DEQ. Without this oversight septic systems can fail or malfunction, pollute Oregon's land and waterways with raw sewage and create public health hazards. DEQ directly manages Oregon's septic system program - often referred to as the "Onsite Program"- in fourteen counties. These counties are called "direct service counties." Twenty-two counties manage the program under contract with DEQ and these counties are called "contract counties". DEQ and the contract counties are also responsible for ensuring that septic tank pumpers have the necessary equipment to safely pump, transport and dispose of the waste from septic systems. This waste is often called "septage." In addition, DEQ certifies and licenses installers and pumpers, and reviews and approves products such as septic tanks, alternative treatment technologies and alternative drainfield products. What is Legislative Concept (LC) 848? LC 848 authorizes the Environmental Quality Commission, DEQ's rulemaking and policy board, to adopt rules for DEQ to make grants or loans available for the repair, replacement or decommissioning of septic systems. The funds may also be used for the development of community-based solutions for sewage disposal problems provided those solutions comply with applicable land use regulations. The grants or loans would be based on hardship and would be used to protect public health by helping to fund the repair, replacement or decommission of failing septic systems. LC 848 also establishes a fund (the Subsurface Sewage Disposal System Improvement Fund) that would be used to assist communities in addressing health or water quality problems associated with individual septic systems. A portion of the fund must be dedicated to training programs related to installation, operation, maintenance and technical assistance on individual septic systems. Civil penalties collected from onsite septic system fines would go into the fund, as well as any gifts or grants. Why is LC 848 needed? Oregon's onsite wastewater management program receives multiple requests for assistance from many communities in Oregon with known pollution problems from septic systems. Currently all revenue comes from application fees for permits, reports and licenses and the program does not have the funding or capacity to engage in these activities, including outreach and education, training, and coordination with communities. In addition, DEQ estimates that 10 percent of existing septic systems around Oregon are in need of repair or replacement to protect human health and the environment. Replacing septic systems can be very expensive (generally starting at $3,000 and can go up to over $20,000) and there are many property owners in Oregon that cannot afford to replace/upgrade the failing systems.
