Deschutes County Board of Commissioners

Bend, OR 97703
Dear Commissioners,
The included petition is offered in support of the annexation of the described area to
the 'West La Pine' Livestock District. The signers of this petition concur that their
area meets the same set of conditions as the area to the north of Masten Road and
they feel it is appropriate to require livestock owners to keep all livestock fenced in
on their property.
This petition is presented in accordance with 2017 ORS 607.020 (5)(a)(b)(c)(d), (6)
and (7), and also ORS 607.010.
The signatories to this petition represent the majorities of resident landowners
within the described area and all willingly signed with only one person declining to
sign and that person not objecting to the petition. A small number of residents were
not home. Therefore it would appear that this annexation would not require an
election on the matter.
Respectfully submitted,
Ron Thompson

AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT
For Board of Commissioners BOCC Wednesday Meeting of June 10, 2020
DATE: June 3, 2020
FROM: John Laherty, Legal,
TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of Board Order No. 2020-018 and Order No. 2020-019, Setting Public
Hearing on Annexations into West La Pine Livestock District
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve Orders 2020-018 and 2020-019
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
On or about May 20, 2019 and June 14, 2019, Deschutes County received two (2) petitions to annex land into
the West La Pine Livestock District. Each petition is for a different area of land. The Clerk has certified the
petitions, and staff has corresponded with the chief petitioner (Ron Thompson) extensively over the last nine (9)
months regarding how to move forward. Initially, Mr. Thompson indicated that he intended to gather the
requisite number of signatures in support of the petitions so as to avoid the need for an election on the
petitions. However he has recently determined that collecting the necessary signatures is not feasible. So, an
election will be required. For each petition, the electors will be those individuals registered to vote within the
area to be annexed.
The 2017 version of ORS Chapter 607 governs these petitions because they were filed with the County before
the January 1, 2020 effective date of the 2019 Act that revised applicable state law. Under that Chapter, the
Board is required to set public hearings on the annexation petitions and, if the Board approves the petitions, to
call an election. The next available time for that election will be November 2020.
The purpose of proposed orders 2020-018 and 2020-19 is to declare the Board's intention to hold public
hearings on the petitions, and to direct that notice of the hearings be given in accordance with state law.
ATTENDANCE: John Laherty, Legal; Nancy Blankenship, Clerk
