DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Audio Cassette Recording Titled: WORK SESSION
April 22, 1985; 9:00-11:45 AM.
A meeting of the Board of County Commissioners was held on April 22, 1985.
Commissioners present were Lois Prante, Dick Maudlin and Larry Tuttle. Also
present were Rick Isham, County Counsel; County Administrator Mike Maier; and
other staff.
Al Adams was introduced. He said there have been two meetings and they are
coming to an agreement regarding setting up for visiting RV sales, flea markets
and similar events. The license fee will be $50 to start with $25 annually
afterwards. A book has been developed and is somewhat like a receipt book, in
two parts. The Sheriff's Department will get the copy. The books will be
maintained by the Sheriff's Office and the forms will be numbered consecutively.
There was a discussion about obtaining buyer information, revocation of licenses
and other potential issues. They have talked about fencing, the display of
merchandise and other issues.

Rick Isham said that someone can hold two garage sales annually without a
license. The professional flea market seller would have to comply. Someone
coming in from another area will be considered a dealer. Some of this
merchandise might be new and some may be used.
A gun show may be sponsored by a gun club, so who is responsible. Whoever is
running the show should be licensed and may have a table. There will be some
fine-tuning required, and they want to be fair to all. (A long discussion followed.)
There will be a public meeting on this Wednesday evening.
Allen Tracy discussed Woodside Ranch concerns. He is a resident and a
representative of Woodside Ranch HOA. They have protective CCR's and mostly
they just remind people of the rules. Their HOA is voluntary. A problem with
commercial activity has arisen. One party is gathering, repairing and offering for
sale things like cars and trucks. He lives on Ridgeview Drive. This has been going
on for some time. The person appears to go out of state to acquire a truckload of
vehicles to do this. He works on them in his garage but often has half a dozen
cars for sale there. There is painting conducted and some other nuisance issues.
This person apparently operates another site elsewhere, perhaps Pettigrew Road.
The Board suggested that they keep a log. Mr. Tracy said that the neighbors have
been doing so for several years. The Board said it appears to have a one -car
garage and there probably isn't much he can do inside of it. There were two
other parked cars plus one with a for sale sign on it. Mr. Tracy stated that it
appears there is another person doing the work and not the resident. A neighbor
said sometimes there are two other workers.
Mr. Isham said there are some laws in other states overseeing it. If you sell six or
more vehicles in Oregon in a calendar year, you are required to have a dealer's
license. This would not qualify as a home occupation. Bill Gibson has been out
there because the person involved has at least one other location that needs to
be cleaned up.

Mr. Tracy was assured that if someone contacts the County at the time this
infraction is happening, they will respond. The HOA can try to file a legal action as
well.
Possible sale of County property related to the Division Street overpass, the
Taylor Rental building and a triangle of land. This needs to be delayed until they
are sure whether to sell it. Mr. Swarens may sell his property to a developer. The
County could buy this and then own the whole area. Much is targeted for a
future road right of way. The State has approached the County about what is
going on.
The Central Oregon Business Advisory Council wants some new members
appointed.
The Board then discussed their appointments and meetings for the near future.
The business loan program has enough funding in it that they should advertise for
proposals. Some people have indicated they are interested. Some initial PSA's
have been drafted. (There was a discussion about applications and other details.)
HB 2990 is the main water bill for the area, and the Commissioners may testify
this week in Salem. (There was along discussion about how this should be
conducted.)
Department of Public Works' contract for the purchase of fuel.
Library District contract for the library book detection system.
Resolution 85-014 related to fees and charges.
Eagle Crest discussion.
Budget hearing.
Resolution 85-006 relating to antique stores and second-hand junk dealers.

Financial partition for Arnett and Noble.
Fee waiver request for a roadway dedication for Robert McKnight, south of
Bitterbrush Subdivision.
Fee for services contract with Juniper School, for the Mental Health Division early
intervention program. There will be a lot of these subcontracts through the
County.
Contract with Rising Star Preschool.
Letter appointing John Lewis to the board of Special Road District No. 6. (There
was a long discussion about what happens if the District doesn't have a quorum at
the time.)
An Order appropriating fund transfers.
Personal services contract with Braggett and Associates.
Approval of an OLCC license.
Ambulance Service Areas are being discussed by the legislature. It appears the
county will have to do an ambulance service plan. The Board discussed this at
length, and decided to wait to review it until they know it has passed. There are
not that many contractors in this area, so the impact would be minimal.
Consideration of 85-86 annual plan for the Health Department.
Continuation of hearing of a request for withdrawal from Ludlow (?). This will
likely end up being in June.
District Court, Judge Perkins and Harry English, will talk about the Westlaw
system.
May 8t" will be the appeal on the monuments, moving to Klamath County.

John Hossock and Denise (?) spoke about the Bend General Plan and
transportation issues. They referred to the current map. The group discussed
minimum street rights of way and basic improvement standards, along with the
road standard variance criteria. The City of Bend already has this developed.
John Hossock went over the map and a number of proposed changes. A few are
major. They had hearings on all of the changes and a number of these hearings
were well -attended, and resulted in some changes. The extension of Hamilton
and Murphy was discussed. There was a discussion about extending it further to
the County shops. Instead they will tie it into Ferguson Road, resulting in better
sight distances.
Another change is to bring Brosterhous around to the upper part of the Trap Club,
and eliminate two 90 -degree right angle turns. It would connect to Rae Road and
go through American Way, where there would be a new bridge. They dropped
the idea of tying American Way into Reed Market Road, as it can't be
accommodated. They might put through a local road.
The south half of Parrell Road would be a collector street, and Division Street
would be designated as an arterial.
15th Street would be extended from Bear Creek Road up to Highway 20, once
Highway 20 is built. This has been controversial. The City is involved in widening
both with bike paths and sidewalks.
Other changes are tying collector streets into Butler Market where the canals
come together. This will service the industrial area at Boyd Acres.
The last proposal they had was extending 27th Street out to Cooley Road, which
would eventually allow it to extend up to Highway 97. There were four hearings
on this issue. The property owners in the area mostly agreed, but they want to
make sure there is no bypass that would be used for truck traffic, all the way
down to Woodside Ranch. This issue is now segregated from the rest so they can
study it further. The original plan was to tie it into Williamson Way and Pettigrew.

Several alignments were reviewed, impacting residential areas and the USFS tree
farm. Brinson is still be considered. Only 27th Street has been pulled for now.
The area around Mt. Bachelor and Century Drive was reviewed. Brooks and the
Park District have traded some land. It crosses Shevlin Park Road at Valhalla, and
ends up at Awbrey Butte. There will be a way to get around on the west side of
the City. There is a lot of public concern about this.
(There were some lengthy discussions going on at the same time with different
people concerned, reviewing maps and information.)
The bridge replacement process needs to be changed to take advantage of more
funding being available.
It was decided that they will not break up future hearings on different areas or
projects, and instead include all areas at the same time. This will address some
situations, and they will find out what issues are of the greatest concern overall.
They would like to see the Trap Club move to Knott pit, which would solve a lot of
problems. There will be problems putting it there since some people within
earshot will object. Someone would have to pay for the move as well, and the
Trap Club owns its property and won't be interested in additional expense.
Long-term, there are real problems where the Club is, with parking and noise
issues. (There was a lengthy discussion about the costs and problems associated
with relocation.) The biggest problem overall is the railroad, and how to work
around it because the railroad administrators are not cooperative. This will affect
especially east -west transportation forever.
Regarding the Florence Macaroni Company property on 5th Street in La Pine; they
are about $1,000 apart in negotiations. Rick Isham wants to file a complaint on it
so he can file for immediate possession. They want at least $6,200, but originally
they wanted $10,000. It is worth about $4,500 and the County offered a bit
more. Litigation is probably not worthwhile for just $1,000.

(Mr. Isham explained the reasons for acquiring the land, and the condemnation
process at length.)
Mr. Isham went over the stipulated facts and order on the final the EKC hearing.
The County has been denied formal party status along with a denial of the 401
water quality permit. He is fairly confident GED is going to appeal the decision to
the Court of Appeals. He wanted to know if the County should be involved at
some level; it isn't at this point. The County would have to prove it was denied
party status.
It has to do with the Water Resources bill that is now pending. It is based on the
amount of electricity that is required, and trading one type of environmental
protection for the river for another can't be allowed. This might end up being a
wasted effort for a lot of people.
SB 2190 has the 401 water quality permit as one of its sub -sections. It was
derived from SB 602. It is supposed to be consistent with the counties'
comprehensive plans but it is a major challenge to those. But it has to do with
Sections 3 and 4 and the need for power. If it passes, it will affect things until
2023. (A lengthy discussion took place.)
This will be discussed further next week.
Mr. Isham spoke about the Columbia project in Tumalo. The notice is out. The
County has been filing for intervener status. This is a proposed Tumalo Creek
project. The Mutual Energy Company, who was working on the Arnold flume
project, proposed to sell energy to another and it would go directly to California.
They are betting on State support. Their intent is to not sell the power locally,
but sell it under a BPA treaty. There are some deadlines and these things need to
be discussed soon.

Mr. Isham spoke about the imminent birth of his child, and that he might not be
available for a while when that happens.
