BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS
County Surveyor Mike Berry will be retiring effective June 30th after a 28 -year career with
Deschutes County, half of which as County Surveyor. Due to the statutorily defined duties of
the County Surveyor position (ORS 209), county code requires a Board appointment and
designation of this position (DCC 2.10). The County Surveyor is supervised by the County
Engineer.
Kevin Samuel was hired in 2016 as Deputy County Surveyor and has demonstrated the skills
and qualifications necessary to become a very capable replacement to Mike Berry. Mr.
Samuel has 19 years of experience, mostly within the private sector, and has the respect of
the local surveyor community. The Road Department seeks Board approval of Resolution
2019-027 appointing Kevin Samuel as County Surveyor effective July 1, 2019.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None
ATTENDANCE: Cody Smith, County Engineer.
