DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Audio Cassette Recording Titled: Board Meeting
February 9, 1982, 1:40-2:35 PM
A meeting of the Board of County Commissioners was held on February 9, 1982.
Commissioners present were Albert Young, Robert Paulsen, and Clay Shepard.
Also present was Mike Maier, County Administrator; and Secretary Sue
Stoneman.
Mike Maier said he distributed a memo regarding adding an additional nurse in
March to replace one that is leaving. It is a .65 permanent part-time position.
He said there was an immunization clinic request because of new laws that will be
a tremendous burden. They need help to get this done. They will get additional
funds, but not everyone has to pay for the service. They should be okay with the
revenue.

He spoke about the reinstatement of Jim Archibald. Mr. Paulsen said he has
received a number of phone calls from people who want to discuss this. Mr.
Shepard stated that he doesn't see the merit of a discussion unless it is going to
be a full, open hearing. Mr. Archibald chose not to have it open.
There was a long, heated discussion about how to handle this. Mr. Young said
they should be able to discuss County business openly at any time. Mr. Shepard
stated that Mr. Archibald chose not to have it done this way, so it should not be
on the agenda. It is disruptive and violates personnel policies. Mr. Paulsen
insisted that this happens all the time; sometimes at the request of the Board. It's
not a violation of the law.
The next item was COID and transferred water rights. Mr. Paulsen said he met
with COID Director Nelson last week. About .7 acres needs to be transferred,
although it is a lot of paperwork. The Board can send a letter to the BLM to let
them know they can have the water, at no cost to the County. It costs about $15
a year. The water right affects where roads are and is not needed. These rights
can be lost if unused for a period of time. The Board indicated approval.
Next was consideration of approval of Resolution 82-003, closing of the Hearings
Officer's Department and terminating the Hearings Officer. Mr. Young moved to
place the workload with the Planning Commission since the need for a Hearings
Officer is no longer there with the slowdown of activity. It was brought up at the
last budget meeting, but failed. Time is of the essence. He wants to discuss this
further at the first meeting with the Budget Board. Some people in the
community might want to weigh in on it.
Mr. Maier said that the first meeting is orientation — this would have to be
discussed later under department discussions. The budget is not effective until
July 1. Mr. Paulsen noted that it seems to be wanted sooner. There was a long

discussion regarding whether and when this should be effective. This will go on a
future agenda.
Next was a report on the Development Services Management Team, and Advisory
Board progress. Mr. Paulsen stated that he asked for John Anderson to come in.
Mr. Anderson referred to a memo and chart and reviewed various tasks. He
wants to make sure this is right path. This will help to determine if deadlines are
being met. Some tasks have been completed, others are in progress and some
are not yet started. Some things will be ongoing, like cross -training, one-stop
counter help, coordination, regular staff meetings, purchasing, carpooling, a joint
filing system, microfilming, designing a new filing system, and public information.
There will be regular reporting dates to the Board and the media. Mr. Maier said
that half the departments use microfilm. There should be an area designated to
do all of this. That way departments would be using the same equipment.
Next was an amendment to create a special fund for Solid Waste. Mr. Maier
stated that the Solid Waste Advisory Board recommends this, and they will be at
tomorrow's meeting. They are trying to carry funds over for future equipment
purchases and want this to be separate from the general fund. They are also
paying the Road Department $100,000 a year for rent. They might want to raise
disposal fees from $2.25 to $2.75, but the proposed budget doesn't include
increasing gate fees for self -haulers, just franchise fees. It is a wash right now and
there is no surplus for equipment reserves. There was a long discussion about
this whole situation.
The group discussed appointments to Deschutes County Fair Association:
reappoint Bill Mayfield and Don Miltenberger. They already agreed to appoint
Mr. Mayfield. Tomorrow they will consider Mr. Miltenberger.

Next was a discussion about Acting Building Official consideration. They
recommended appointing Bend Garris (?), who has already taken on this burden
himself. There needs to be an executive meeting to make this determination. A
long discussion then took place.
Tomorrow they will discuss transferring funds within the general fund. This is
nothing complex. They will also consider a temporary services contract with the
Redmond Fire Department regarding street signs.
I certify that the above is a true and accurate record of a meeting, as reproduced from a
cassette tape identified as Minutes of the Business Meeting of the Deschutes County Board of
Commissioners, held on February 9, 1982. This record was completed subsequent to the
presiding Deschutes County Board of Commissioners' tenure.
