DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Audio Cassette Recording Titled: DEPARTMENT HEADS MEETING
October 16, 1985; 1:00-2:00 PM.
A meeting of the Board of County Commissioners was held on October 16, 1985.
Commissioners present were Lois Prante, Dick Maudlin and Larry Tuttle. Also
present were Rick Isham, County Counsel; County Administrator Mike Maier; and
other County staff.
Reclassification study. There were no significant adjustments made. This will
come before the Board with the changes recommended.
Discussion took place regarding personnel changes in Community Development
and how things will be handled. It was decided that there would be a
management team put into place so they can determine how programs and
projects will continue. An interim planning director needs to be appointed as
soon as possible. (A long discussion took place as to how this would occur.)

Regarding the appointment of Craig (?) as interim planning director, there will
certain management functions that will take away from his normal duties. (A
discussion ensued.)
A discussion took place about the hours that the County is open and how many
calls this is generating. People would like offices to be open earlier. The Board
had determined that everyone would have the same hours, and that is what
people are being told. Some departments' busy times are either first thing in the
morning or toward the end of the day. There is a trade-off for not being open on
Fridays.
An electric permit processing program will start in December. There was a glitch
with data processing. They have to enter their own data now and there are not
enough people to do the keying. There is a new phone system coming in and they
are training new people at this time. (There was a long discussion about how
critical data processing is to operations.)
The design of signage and other delineators for underpasses and roads to relieve
congestion was then discussed. The underpasses are a particular problem and
the State will need to address this.
I certify that the above is a true and accurate record of a meeting, as reproduced from a
cassette tape identified as Minutes of a Meeting with Department Heads and the Deschutes
County Board of Commissioners, held on October 16, 1985. This record was completed
subsequent to the presiding Deschutes County Board of Commissioners' tenure.
