DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Audio Cassette Recording Titled: WORK SESSION
June 17, 1991; 10:00-11:15 AM.
A meeting of the Board of County Commissioners was held on June 17, 1991.
Commissioners present were Nancy Pope Schlangen, Tom Troop and Dick
Maudlin. Also in attendance were Rick Isham, County Counsel; County
Administrator Mike Maier; and other staff and a few citizens.
Items discussed at this meeting may be on a future Board business meeting
agenda:
Discussion of the Pacific Power Radio Help Partnership Program. Public Works is
enthusiastic about participating in this program. CDD radios don't work on a
regular basis so probably would not participate. The Sheriff's Department is
already included as a law enforcement agency. Mr. Clark from Pacific Power
provided a lengthy overview of how the system works, who is participating and
how it would benefit the County, and most importantly, the benefits to the
general public.

Basically, decals are placed on the vehicles indicating they are a help agency if
someone has an emergency. They can call for help for the person, usually
involving to 9-1-1 through a dispatcher. It really isn't a new service since they
have done this before. They now have about 150 partners who have agreed to be
radio call helpers when necessary. The only aid they provide is making a call to
the appropriate agency.
They are also not out looking for marijuana patches or other illegal activity. No
one will be identified as the eyes of the law. They might report this kind of
activity, but they are not seeking it out. They have not had any problems with this
program at all. The Board was supportive.
Discussion of the fee schedule and a Public Works surveyor meeting with the
Board.
Discussion of an upcoming Economic Development Board of Directors meeting.
Discussion of an intergovernmental agreement for the child development and
rehabilitation center. This is the third year of the program. It is already
budgeted.
Discussion of petitions to designate the Courthouse as a non-smoking building.
This was already done for the Justice Building. The petitions are from employees
within the Courthouse, with up to seventy signatures supporting no smoking
there. Mr. Maudlin votes against this; the others were supportive.
Discussion of a maintenance agreement for the copier in the Clerk's Office. This is
a renewal.
Discussion with Catherine Morrow about a proposed BLM land exchange in La
Pine. Mr. Throop said that he has been working with Realtors there to determine
land use compatibility issues. The BLM wants to acquire some land in Wasco
County that is adjacent to the Deschutes River, for public access.

The Lindsay Trust owns a Targe ranch, the Stearns Ranch, near La Pine wants to
block off some more land adjacent to their property. There was a lengthy
discussion about zoning and land use issues for the land in Deschutes County.
Their intent is to keep ranching and for no other use of the property.
The Board felt they should let the BLM know that the County is supportive of this
exchange. This will also put government land back on the tax rolls.
Discussion of a request to repurchase property on Coyote Lane. David Hough had
some financial difficulties and lost the property to the County. He wishes to
reacquire the property at this time. The assessed value is around $14,000, with
market value about $19,000. The property is located in Sunriver. Staff
recommended that the person be able to repurchase it.
Discussion of a public hearing on an anti -firearms discharge area. This is in the
Deschutes River Recreation Homesites area. Mr. Maudlin said he would vote no
out of general principal, because he feels there are laws already governing this
type of situation.
Discussion of a public hearing regarding KMB mining site. Cyrus might come up
with another way to address this situation.
Discussion of a public hearing regarding the Coats mining site. Staff recommends
that this one not be inventoried. Commissioner Schlangen was asked to
familiarize herself with previous testimony on mining sites. She indicated that she
might choose to abstain.
Discussion of the adoption of the Deschutes County budget later in the month,
and will reopen the public hearing this week. This will also include the budgets
for the service districts.
Discussion of a conservation easement for Robert and Chris Hamilton, in the
Skyline Subdivision.

Discussion of a loss of enforcement data user agreement. This would add support
enforcement.
Discussion of the servicing of a COIC loan agreement.
Discussion of establishing the road name of 69th Place. This is a new road off 69th
Street.
Discussion of a development agreement for a Central Electric Cooperative
substation east of Sisters.
Discussion of a transient room tax payment penalty against Comfort Inn, and a
request for a waiver of same. Staff recommended that some of the penalty be
waived and that the amount due be paid 10% a month until fully paid.
Discussion of adoption of findings and decision on the PPL transmission line
appeal.
Discussion of a contract between Building Services and the Opportunity Center of
Central Oregon.
Request for a grant of $2,000 from the Clean Air Committee. This wanted granted
last year. This request came in very late in the budget year. Mr. Maudlin doesn't
want to give the funds to them. The City did grant $2,000 already.
Discussion of the efforts of the Alliance for a Drug Free Central Oregon. The
County does not screen for drugs at this point. Risk Management may be taking a
look at this. Only Public Works does this, and that is usually after an accident or
incident.
This is more common in the private sector. Bend Millwork and others are doing
this pre-employment and randomly, and most businesses are talking about how
much this is saving them in the long run.
