DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Audio Cassette Recording Titled: SPECIAL MEETING REGARDING THE EMPIRE
AVENUE OVERPASS PROJECT
July 11, 1985; 3:30-4:00 PM
A meeting of the Board of County Commissioners was held on July 11, 1985.
Commissioners present were Lois Prante, Dick Maudlin and Larry Tuttle. Also
present were Rick Isham, County Counsel; and County Administrator Mike Maier.
The purpose of the meeting was to consider acceptance of an offer of Federal
Economic Development grant funds in the amount of $500,000, for the
construction of the Empire Boulevard overpass.
COIC assisted in the preparation of this grant, and calls for $500,000, or 65% of
the actual cost of the project, to come from this grant; and $273,081 from the
County. As broken down, there is about $90,000 in in-kind services such as
engineering and administration, and $180,000 in cash.
Rick Isham has reviewed the grant offer, and pointed out that economic
development grants have to be administered very diligently, due to minority
contracting requirements and many other federal requirements that the County
often does not have to deal with.

Ms. Prante said the minority qualifications are a problem in this area since there is
a less than 2% minority population overall.
Mr. Maudlin said basically they have to handle the grant carefully. They have
never received one of these specific grants in the past. The construction bid
documents might be a bit different from what Public Works has traditionally
handled, as well. The funds will be handled in the current budget as a new
revenue stream.
A motion was made to have the Chair sign the grant document; it was seconded
and unanimously approved.
