A meeting of the Board of County Commissioners was held on March 8, 1999.
Commissioners present were Dennis Luke, Tom DeWolf and Linda Swearingen.
Also in attendance were Rick (sham, 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 of the activities of the Sisters Community Action Team — past,
current and future. The group wanted to put the community, which is
fragmented, back together. A study was done and a plan presented to the City
Council. They were very excited about it and pledge to participate actively in
what the group is doing.
Various residents and volunteers for the group then testified as to what they are
doing, and what they hope to accomplish. This presentation and conversation
went on for a long time.

Commissioner Swearingen asked if it is possible for the group to raise $9,000
themselves, and ask the City of Sisters for $2,000, the School District for $2,000
and the County for $5,000. She thought that this might provide funding for the
group's first year. (A long discussion ensued.)
The Board took a ten-minute break due to the length of the first item that was
discussed.
Discussion of a public hearing regarding an annexation of property into the La
Pine Sewer District.
Discussion of a public hearing, and approval of the Wallace petition for
annexation into the Cloverdale Rural Fire Protection District.

Center. Rick Isham explained the bid process and the qualifications of the
apparent low bidder.
Discussion of approval of a vacation of a portion of South McVey Road in
Redmond. George Kolb provided an overview of the item. Resolution 99-010
initiates the vacation process, and Order 99-022 orders the vacation of that
portion of the road. There is only one property owner affected so there is no
public hearing required.
Discussion of the award of a contract per bid process to OCON, Inc. of Redmond.
Mr. Kolb explained that this is for the supplying and hauling of rock for chip seal
projects.
Discussion of approval of construction based on a bid process of the Alfalfa

Discussion of signature of conservation agreements for properties, lots 1 through
8 of the River Bluff Canyon subdivision. Damian Syrnyk provided a lengthy
explanation. This used to be a part of Deschutes River Woods, but was replatted
at the request of the property owners.
Discussion of approval of revisions to the County's non -harassment policy. Mike
Viegas said this is to make minor modifications of the original policy. There was a
lengthy discussion about the wording. Commissioner DeWolf felt the language
and timeframe stated was too inflexible.
Discussion of signature of Resolution 99-021, to declare the intent to purchase
the Charles Culver twenty -acre parcel at Butler Market Road, to exchange with
Central Electric Cooperative for other property that the County would like to have
back, next to Knott Landfill.
Jim Bonnarens said the County is paying $70,000 and CEC is going to give back
$10,000 in compensation for utility hookups and other services. CEC wants the
land for a substation, and the County needs additional space for various landfill
purposes.
Discussion of signature of Order 99-041, authorizing the sale of personal property
by private sale to the Terrebonne Assembly of God Church. Mr. (sham said the
County acquired a property with a building that is valued at most at $500, and it
needs to be removed from the property.
Discussion of signature of a letter regarding the acknowledgment of a Bend office
from Scott Steele & Associates. All of the Fairgrounds work has been done out of
this office. This has to do with acknowledging that Scott Steele has formed a
separate company from the one that originally started on the project.

by Oregon Youth Challenge, and in turn can forward those funds to OYC as
appropriate.
