DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Audio Cassette Recording Titled: WORK SESSION
June 20, 1994; 10:00-12:15 PM.
A meeting of the Board of County Commissioners was held on June 20, 1994.
Commissioners present were Nancy Pope Schlangen, Tom Troop and Barry
Slaughter. Also in attendance were Rick (sham, County Counsel; County
Administrator Mike Maier; the media, other staff and a few citizens.
Items discussed at this meeting may be on a future Board business meeting
agenda:
Discussion of a public hearing regarding a possible J Bar J facility for girls in the
Cloverdale area.
Discussion of a public hearing on an ordinance to amend the comprehensive plan
in order to adopt a new ESEE to replace the existing one, for riparian areas and
wetlands.
Transcription of Audio Recording of a Work Session, June 20, 1994 Page 1 of 6
There was an objection from LCDC that the ESEE did not specify which provisions
to protect riparian areas applied to which streams; in particular, that Indian Ford
Creek was not addressed. (A lengthy staff explanation was then given.)
Discussion of a public hearing on a text amendment to allow in-line skating in
Sunriver, as a commercial use.
Discussion of a decision on a conditional use permit for the Sisters Academy.
Discussion of the appointment of Helzman (?) as the County's workers
compensation third party administrator. Staff Mike Viegas, Risk Management,
gave an overview of the request for proposals and the winning bidder.
Discussion of accepting a slope and construction easement for the Spring River
Bridge project. Larry Rice explained the project, which has taken some time to
come together.
Commissioner Throop asked about a recent Public Works informational memo
and the observation made about difficulties with Burlington Northern Railroad
regarding the Butler Market Road project. It was noted that it could take 18
months for them to do what is needed.
Larry Rice explained that the State has been involved and has made some
progress, so it should be open by October.
Mr. Throop asked about the Waste Reduction Advisory Committee and when they
will be meeting. Mr. Blust said that they met once already and are making
progress on various issues.
Commissioner Schlangen asked about the Gordon Beck Park signage issue. Mr.
Rice said that the traffic engineer is handling this.

Discussion of signature of a conservation easement for Myers' property located
on Crane Drive.
Discussion of approval of three treatment projects for the Adult Community
Corrections Department. Staff Roland Gangstee said that two are all related to
the chemical dependency intervention program that is State approved and
funded. The other is for sex offender counseling.
Discussion of an STF grant application. Susan Mayea gave an overview of the
item. Disabled American Veterans has submitted an application, and this will help
get them to Portland for medical treatment.
Volunteer Services also transports a lot of disabled people, and has asked for
funds to supplement their ability to get people to where they need to be. Both of
these will offset the expenses of volunteers.
Discussion of signature of the continuation of an agreement with the Central and
Eastern Oregon Juvenile Justice Consortium for juvenile correction services in the
detention center.
Discussion of approval of an amendment to increase the rate paid for telephone
communications.
Discussion of approval of Ordinance 94-034, regarding septic system approval
permits. This is meant to streamline the process and eliminate a duplicate permit
fee. Citizen Ted Shassburger explained how this issue has affected him, and he is
glad it is being addressed.
Discussion of approval of a development agreement for Barbara and Brian
Standiford.
Discussion of approval of a development agreement and a landscape
management zone.

Discussion of the ABC film production (the nature of the activity was not
described). A citizen who lives on Gerking Market Road asked how the Board
feels about this production being done on EFU zoned property.
Bruce White said there is no application for land use approval and the Board
cannot take a position yet. No activity has started. It would become an issue of
enforcement if activity does start. Mr. Throop said that he understands that they
have been advised by their legal counsel that no permit is needed for what is
proposed. It could be that this is an issue to be addressed in Circuit Court, when
neighbors can't agree on certain things. There is nothing before the County that
can trigger any action at this particular time.
The citizen feels the County needs some kind of protection against this kind of
commercial activity. Commissioner Slaughter stated that he doesn't know any
more about this than what has been printed in the newspaper. The County has
no authority to do anything in advance of a potential problem.
A long, heated discussion then took place. The citizen left unhappy with the
conversation.
Discussion of the Livesy (?) site, 280 acres that the Soil and Water Conservation is
interested in acquiring, in Plainview. This is an old surface mining site and Soil
and Water wants to turn it into an educational laboratory.
There are discussions now occurring with the Forest Service and the Sisters School
District on this property. They would like to enter into a land trade so the County
can acquire some Forest Service land just west of the high school, which would be
deeded over by the County for a new school site.
A lengthy discussion ensued about the Plainview location being too far away from
other educational sites. Mr. Throop feels that the exchange with the Forest
Service and the School District makes a lot more sense.

Commissioner Schlangen disagreed, and said that the work of the Soil and Water
group is important for educational purposes as well. She does not feel that this
supports certain County -wide efforts, but is exclusive to just Sisters.
Mr. Throop does not feel that the lab is close to reality and there is not a
sufficient amount of cooperation in the community to make this kind of effort
feasible. Soil and Water only has seven volunteers and no staff, and is not
capable of putting this kind of facility together.
Discussion about an event center and a feasibility study for same at the
Fairgrounds; followed by a formalized proposal for the community to evaluate.
The consultant will deal with the County, the cities and the public in this regard.
The group wishes to talk about this next week.
Funding needs to come from the cities as well as the County, and from the private
sector. Commissioner Schlangen wants to see the funding commitment first
before moving forward. Commissioner Slaughter asked for a more detailed
update as well. Neither of those two Commissioners are ready to commit to an
event center.
Discussion of contributions to the Soil and Water Conservation District. They
asked for $7,000 when in the past they have received $1,300 per year. They have
gotten a grant to look at fertilizer use throughout the County and need to have
some matching funds. The Board feels that this does fall under the economic
development criteria and will support it.
Discussion of the fact that COCOA did not have a chance to present their
expanded request for funding to the Budget Committee. Mr. Throop said they
have a new director, and were disappointed that the County has not been more
supportive. They will be invited in to talk with the Board further.
Discussion of signature of a plat related to a Fire District annexation that needs to
be addressed before July. A hearing is required.

Discussion about the future of the current jail facility.
Discussion of a letter from the Clean Air Committee and their receipt of a
$100,000 grant from the EPA. They have asked for a commitment of support of
their efforts from the County.
Discussion of upcoming meetings: Library Board of Trustees; Administration; and
the Sheriff.
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 of the Deschutes County Board of
Commissioners, held on June 20, 1994. This record was completed subsequent to the presiding
Deschutes County Board of Commissioners' tenure.
