Audio Cassette Recording Titled: WORK SESSION
March 20,1995; 10:00-11:45 AM.
A meeting of the Board of County Commissioners was held on March 20, 1995.
Commissioners present were Bob Nipper and Barry Slaughter. Commissioner
Nancy Pope Schlangen was out of the office. Also in attendance were Rick Isham,
County Counsel; County Administrator Mike Maier; the media, other staff and a
few citizens.
Items discussed at this meeting will likely be on a future Board business meeting
agenda.
Discussion of the Bend Park & Recreation District's update on the serial levy
proposal for the May ballot. Representatives of the District gave an overview of
the information on a study they did over five years. It would include covering the
public pool so it could be used year-round; improving Big Sky Park; expanding
after-school and summer recreation programs for children and youth; and
improvements to Sawyer Park.

They still will have to heavily depend on the efforts of volunteers and
sponsorships, and finding sources of other funding. Commissioner Nipper was
glad there is a focus on after-school and summer programs for kids, since that
may help to keep them out of trouble.
Discussion of a public hearing for remonstrance's for the Apache Road local
improvement district, and signature of Order 95-049, directing that
improvements be made by contract. Tom Blust said there are 50 lots and only 9
property owners are against it.
Discussion of a public hearing on Order 95-050, regarding the formation of the
Ponderosa Pines Water District.
Discussion of consideration of the Hooker Creek Company proposal to the Solid
Waste Advisory Committee. Staff said that the group continues to investigate the
two chosen sites, and one of them, Hooker Creek, has suggested a timeline that is
faster than what might be possible.
The Committee would like to fast-track the RFP process if the Board agrees. It is
not known yet if the numbers will show it is less expensive than expanding Knott
Landfill. It would be good to know this sooner if possible. It is important to know
all this before Knott approaches being full. There was a lengthy discussion
regarding potential options.
Commissioner Nipper said he feels like he is being pushed into a corner as to the
future of the landfill. A long, heated discussion then ensued.
Discussion of approval of a travel request for training, for two Public Works
employees. This is for the Northwest Solid Waste Symposium conference in
Portland.

Investigators meeting in Boise, Idaho.
Discussion of approval of the selection of a towing company for vehicle impounds
for the Sheriff's Office.
Discussion of approval of a petty cash account for the Ready -Set -Go program for
the Health Department.
Discussion of approval of Resolution 95-044, authorizing the refund of taxes.
Discussion of signature of a conservation easement for property owned by
Douglas Lowe. Commissioner Nipper asked (again) for an explanation of what this
means.
Discussion of approval of a reappointment to the Special Road District #6 board of
directors.
Discussion of signature of a final plat for the replat of The Courtyards at Broken
Top subdivision.
Discussion of signature of a final partition, plat MP -94-20, for Eldon Pierson. Mr.
Isham explained that this is administrative in nature.
Discussion of signature of Resolution 95-046, amending Resolution 94-110
regarding the Galen Road local improvement district. There needed to be a lot
line adjustment and a new engineer's report.
Discussion of signature of a Mylar for the Forum commercial subdivision, within
the City of Bend at 27th and East Highway 20.
Discussion of upcoming meetings: Administrative Liaison; the Library; Community
Corrections; and a meeting with the City of Bend regarding solid waste and the
problem of haulers covering loads.

Mr. Slaughter made a statement that he, as a Commissioner, welcomes
disagreement. He does not discourage individuals and groups that hold and voice
opinions different from his own. He believes that the County, State and Nation
have thrived with varying views, and this should be encouraged.
They need to believe in the power of the ballot to settle disagreements.
Disagreement should not be stifled.
Mr. Nipper concurred.
Mr. Nipper wants to have a lengthy discussion about SDC's. He feels that the
recent study document is flawed.
