Administrator Mike Maier; the media, other staff, representatives of the City of
Bend, and a few citizens.
Items discussed at this meeting may be on a future Board business meeting
agenda:
Discussion of a public hearing on Order 93-186, a proposed exchange of property
with Ronald and Lois Richardson. This is a part of the Brookswood Boulevard
construction project. Staff explained the timeline for the completion of the

There will be a future meeting with people living in the area regarding signage for
the school, street striping and other issues.
Commissioner Throop said he did a lot of bicycling riding over the weekend and
was appalled at the condition of some of the bike lanes; in particular on Johnson
Road and O.B. Riley Road. He asked if the debris and other issues would be
addressed. Staff said they had not received any other complaints. They are
having broom equipment problems but will do whatever they can to fix the
problem.
Discussion of the award of contract to Jay Bruener for the construction of the
animal crematorium for the humane society. Staff referred to the project as the
'kitty cooker' (poor taste).
Discussion regarding a decision regarding the no shooting corridor on the
Deschutes River. Staff said there would be a similar closure on Forest Service land
so that it is consistent. There was a lengthy discussion about mapping, signage
and enforcement issues.
Discussion of approval of Resolution 93-096, proclaiming the week of October 2-9
as Recycling Awareness Week. Members of the Recycling Team gave a lengthy
overview of the many activities to take place during that week.
Discussion of the OSU/Extension Service budget, regarding the filling of a staff
position; as well as rumors Mr. Throop has heard that the employee who left was
made so uncomfortable that she was forced to resign.
Staff said that there has been communication in writing with the Board regarding
the position. And he disputed the comment about the situation around the
resignation of the employee. He said the Board is invited to come to their
meetings, and minutes of those meetings are sent as soon as possible to the
Board to review as well.

There was a lengthy discussion about the position and whether it should be part
time, because it is temporary unless more adequate funding is received from the
State or through the new tax base.
Staff said the person was under a lot of stress because of the questionable
funding, and wanted more assurances. It had nothing to do with the person but
with the position, that has had uncertain funding tied to it all along. Mr. Throop
did not like how this was handled and felt any changes like this should have come
to the Board first.
There was a lengthy, heated argument between the staff person and
Commissioner Throop. Commissioner Schlangen asked that a meeting be set up
with the advisory board to get to the bottom of the issue.
Discussion of approval of liquor license application renewals for Newport
Chowder Bowl in Sunriver and the Terrebonne Dinner House.
Discusison of approval of a cost -share agreement for completion of an erosion
control study and brochure. This study began in 1987.
Discussion of General Policy 93-09-01, the use of County owned vehicles. Mike
Maier provided an overview of changes to the previous draft.
Discussion of signature of Order 93-203, assigning the name of Promise Lane to
an unnamed road.
Discussion of approval of an Ordinance to clarify the building code, regarding
occupancy requirements and limitation.
Discussion of upcoming meetings: Liaison; Community Development; the Jail
programming meeting; and a meeting with Sunriver representatives.
Discussion about adding back a half-time position at Public Works.

Discussion of the process to address landlocked properties; in particular, some
parcels that are surrounded by BLM land. County Counsel feels that this is a BLM
issue and not one the County should have to spearhead.
