DISCUSSIONS/PRESENTATIONS
A. Transient Room Tax with Deschutes County Fairgrounds and Expo Center
Deschutes County Fairgrounds and Expo Center(DCFE) Director Dan Despotopulos provided the
Council and Board with information regarding their plans for the voter approved Transient Room Tax
(TRT)funds they will receive. Mr. Despotopulos also briefly reviewed the DCFE draft business plan.
Redmond Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Eric Sande described how to attract various sporting
events that require a large application fee. Having the additional TRT funds gives the DCFE more
leverage; however, with lack of hotel capacity, Redmond is not capturing the TRT funds like it should.
The Chamber and DCFE also cannot bid on events that require onsite housing and requested that the
City work to bring onsite housing to the 14 acres located at the DCFE marquee.
Mr. Sande and Mr. Despotopulos answered questions from the Council.
B. Rod and Gun Club Relocation Efforts
Redmond Rod and Gun Club(Club) President Bill Layton shared some of the activities and events which
take place at the range adding that many local law enforcement agencies train at the facility as well. With
park trails encroaching closer the range, the Club knows relocation of the facility is eminent. Mr. Layton
suggested the ideal location is a mile west of the Crook/Deschutes County line.
Deschutes County Administrator Tom Anderson stated that a recent brownfields grant received cannot be
used for cleanup of the range.

City Manager Keith Witcosky explained that as an option for shortening the process, he initially wanted to
propose a certain level of approval to Enterprise Zone (EZ)abatements. However, after many
discussions with the County, it was determined that these types of items should be celebrated by each
jurisdiction. Mr. Witcosky announced that a couple abatements will be coming for approval soon.
D. Overview of Redmond Land Use Goals
Community Development Director Heather Richards provided a high level overview of Redmond's land
use touching on current and future obstacles, urbanization processes and land supply, framework plans,
public facility planning, and development around the airport.
