Audio Cassette Recording Titled: WORK SESSION
September 11, 1995; 10:00-12:00 PM (2 tapes).
A meeting of the Board of County Commissioners was held on September 11,
1995. Commissioners present were Nancy Pope Schlangen, Bob Nipper and
Barry Slaughter. Also in attendance were Rick Isham, County Counsel; County
Administrator Mike Maier; the media, other staff and a large number of
interested citizens.
Items discussed at this meeting may be on a future Board business meeting
agenda.
A presentation by the Art Committee. Pamela Hulse Andrews, owner of Cascade
Business News, explained she is also publishing the new Cascade Arts Review.
She provided an overview of the publication and asked that the Board give some
attention to the various arts organizations in the area, since they make a
significant contribution to the community and the local economy.

Cascade Business News is a year old this month, and the Board was invited to
celebrate this big event on September 20.
Discussion of approval of an out of state travel request for attendance by Road
Department employees at the Northwest ARC/INFO User Conference. Dennis
Morris provided an overview. The employees are the four involved in GIS
programs. He said that there are concurrent classes at the conference, and it is
not possible for even one or two people to attend them all and bring back the
information to the others.
Discussion of signature of Order 95-135, accepting the engineer's report for the
Riverwoods Drive and Lakeview Drive local improvement districts, and setting a
hearing date.
Discussion of approval of an award of contract to Harding Lawson, David Evans &
Associates for Knott Landfill expansion engineering services. Al Driver is
proposing that, pursuant to the Board's resolution, they proceed with the
expansion of Knott Landfill.
Staff has gone out for requests for proposals to engineering firms, and based on
the RFP process, there were seven responses. A five -person team analyzed the
results and narrowed it down to three. A four -person team then interviewed
these three firms and selected Harding Lawson, David Evans & Associates. One of
the supporters of this selection was the representative from the DEQ. Staff
agrees with the selection as well.
According to the EPA, they are required to have detailed engineering plans for any
liners or other facets of this work. They also do not have the capability and
expertise in house. Mr. Driver went into detail as to why this particular firm was
selected. There was a very lengthy, somewhat heated discussion between staff
and the Commissioners. County Counsel stated that staff followed the proper
procedure completely.

An individual from Century West Engineering was allowed to speak about why
they felt this process was not done properly. They feel this selection was made
on the basis of the County having a previous established relationship with David
Evans & Associates.
A representative of Harding Lawson disagreed with this testimony, and went into
great detail about the reasons why. He felt that they are trying to turn this into a
political decision rather than one that is fact -based. He cautioned that they not
let this kind of appeal or opposing conversation affect how the County does
things, or they may end up with happening every time someone loses out on the
bid process.
Jack Beamer of David Evans & Associates then spoke, as did Neil Alongi (?), who is
part of the Century West team. Timm Schimke of Solid Waste commented as
well. He said there was never a tie in this selection process. Harding Lawson had
four out of five first place votes when the written proposals were evaluated, and
a compilation of scoring data for the interview process placed them as number
one as well.
Mr. Nipper said he needed to talk with the Board about this some more, so the
decision was tabled until Wednesday afternoon.
Discussion of signature of an indemnity agreement for the Oregon Trails Bicycle
Trek event on September 23 through 25.
Discussion of approval of out of state travel for Roger Everett of Community
Development. George Read explained that this is going to be paid by the FDA,
and Mr. Everett is one of only five individuals in the State who was asked to
F IVII
Discussion of signature of a conservation easement as a conditional of approval
for Joe and Shirley Mellmer. Mr. Nipper asked if County Counsel has developed
the new language for this type of thing. Bruce White said it has been done and
they are getting the word out to the planners.

Discussion of approval of special transportation fund agreements with the City of
Bend, Opportunity Foundation, Residential Assistance Program, and Central
Oregon Council on Aging.
Discussion of approval of a motion to enter an order of remand and directing
entries of a stipulated decision. This relates to the map partition and trying to
bring closure to a case that is on appeal at LUBA, regarding the Indian Ford Creek
case and the Board's approval of a three -lot partition. The parties are trying to
work out a revised partition that is acceptable to all, and the County has
participated in this.
Discussion of signature of liquor license application renewals for the Tumalo Feed
Company, Sunriver Lodge and Resort, and Rockin' Billy's.
An update regarding the September 12 public hearing on Appeal A-05-15, a
proposed plan amendment and zone change for Korish. Damian Syrnyk provided
an overview of the item and information he had already provided to the Board.
This property is within the urban growth boundary.
Commissioner Schlangen was concerned about why the Board is so involved with
this since the City's criteria had already been satisfied. It is also already an
approved subdivision. This change is needed so that the developer can connect
to the city sewer system. Mr. Syrnyk went into a lengthy explanation of the
entire situation.
Discussion of upcoming meetings: a City of Bend/County meeting; Board staff
meeting; Public Works and Surveyor; Solid Waste Update; Risk Management;
Data Processing; Mental Health; and the Court Security meeting at Judge Tiktin's
office.
