Background
Historic buildings and sites connect us to the past and teach us how people in different eras
managed resources and worked within their surroundings. Interesting information can be
gleaned through an examination of significant buildings, rock shelters, cemeteries and individual
graves, ranches, trails, wagon train routes, townsites, mill sites, fish hatcheries, river crossings,
bridges, canals, dams, historic roads and other unique resources. These resources enrich the
community by providing tangible evidence of our heritage.
Historic resources are recognized by Statewide Planning Goal 5, Natural Resources, Scenic
Views and Historic Areas and Open Spaces, and Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 660-023.
The Statewide Goal and OAR recemEnend, but de net requi ,require basic demolition and
relocation review of historic resources on the National Register of Historic Places and
recommend the County to inventory and protect other local historic and cultural sites.
Historic Designations
In 1979 the County inventoried potential historic and cultural sites in the Resource Element.
The 1979 Plan included goals and policies for protection of historic resources as well as
provisions that the County establish a Historical Landmarks Commission and adopt an
ordinance to protect designated historic sites.
On September 17, 1980 the Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance PL-21, which
established a Historical Landmarks Commission and created a process to evaluate, designate
and regulate historic structures.
The Historic Landmarks Commission subsequently, and over time, evaluated proposed historic
sites. The resulting inventory of historically designated sites can be found in Chapter 5. This
inventory will be reviewed as part of the Goal 5 review as described in the Goal 5 section of
this Plan. Starting in 1997, all historic and cultural designations have been initiated at the
request of property owners through the Comprehensive Plan text amendment process.

Future of Cultural and Historic Resources
Deschutes County supports the voluntary preservation of significant cultural and historical
sites. Going forward there are a few issues regarding cultural and historical resources that need
to be addressed. The first is to clarify that the County's role is to cooperate with the Historic
Landmarks Commission. That body contains persons with expertise in historic and cultural
preservation.

Another concern is that when cultural resources are discovered at a project site it can create

CHAPTER 2.28 17 (3,/201205/2020)
I. BACKGROUND
Historic resources are recognized by Statewide Planning Goal 5, Natural Resources,
Scenic Views and Historic Areas and Open Spaces, and Oregon Administrative Rule
(OAR) 660-023-0200. The Statewide Goal and OAR require basic protections for sites
listed on the National Register of Historic Places and recommend the County to inventory
and protect other historic or cultural sites.'
The Board of County Commissioners (Board) adopted Ordinance PL-21 on September
17, 1980 to establish the Deschutes County Historical Landmarks Commission and create
a process to evaluate, designate and regulate historic resources throughout the rural
county. The Historic Landmarks Commission evaluated proposed historic landmarks over
time. The resulting local inventory of historical resources and National Register of Historic
Places can be found in Chapter 5 of the County Comprehensive Plan. Resources listed
on the National Register of Historic Places were not originally listed in the local inventory.2
Deschutes County Code (DCC) Chapter 2.28 — Historic Preservation and Historic
Landmarks Commission — provides procedures for protecting designated local and
National Register historic resources.
2017 Amendments to OAR 660-023-0200
The historic resources rule — OAR 660-023-0200 — includes procedural requirements for
surveying sites, evaluating integrity, and considering whether and how to protect historic
and cultural resources. The State amended the historic resources rule in February 2017
to require a base level of protection for National Register Resources and provide a more
usable and clear list of standards for local governments to follow if they have an
established historic preservation ordinance.
The updates include new and amended definitions, clearer procedural steps, and more
detail regarding review of applications to demolish or relocate resources listed in the
National Register of Historic Places. Some procedural requirements have been added or
removed. Unclear sections have been clarified. Protection standards for resources listed
on the National Register of Historic Places are required for local governments to comply
with regardless of what the local ordinance provides.
OAR 660-023-0200 was amended in 2017 to require local jurisdictions review demolition and relocation
permits of buildings/structures/etc. listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Prior to 2017, the
State only recommended protections to historic resources.
2 This was identified as a concern in the Comprehensive Plan Section 2.11 — Cultural and Historic
Resources. Policy 2.11.3(a) encourages the County to develop and maintain a comprehensive list of sites
on the National Register.
List Exhibit F to Ordinance 2020-006 Page 1 of 14
2020 Amendments to County Code
Deschutes County decided to bring the historic preservation ordinance up to standard
with the amended OAR in the 2019-2020 Certified Local Government (CLG) grant. The
proposed project was supported by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), which
administers the CLG grant program. County staff initiated the process in February 2020
to audit the current historic preservation ordinance and identify components that required
updates. The HLC held a work session on May 4, 2020 to review the proposed
amendments. A public hearing occurred on June 1, 2020 to receive public comments
regarding the amendments. Subsequently, on June 15, the HLC made a recommendation
to approve the amendments to the Board.

Deschutes County lacks specific criteria in DCC Titles 22 or 23 for reviewing a legislative
plan amendment. Nonetheless, since Deschutes County is initiating one, the County
bears the responsibility for justifying the amendments are consistent with the Statewide
Planning Goals, Oregon Revised Statutes, Oregon Administrative Rules and its existing
Comprehensive Plan. Findings for the applicable approval criteria are provided below.
IV. FINDINGS
A. CHAPTER 22.12, LEGISLATIVE PROCEDURES
Section 22.12.010.

Exhibit F to Ordinance 2020-006 Page 5 of 14
3. Section 22.12.030 Initiation of Legislative Changes.
A legislative change may be initiated by application of individuals
upon payment of required fees as well as by the Board of County
Commissioners.
FINDING: The application was initiated by the Deschutes County Planning Division at
the direction of the Board. This criterion is met.
4. Section 22.12.040. Hearings Body
A. The following shall serve as hearings or review body for
legislative changes in this order.
1. The Planning Commission.
2. The Board of County Commissioners.
FINDING: Because the proposed amendments are specific to historic preservation, the
Historic Landmarks Commission held a public hearing on June 1, 2020. The Planning
Commission reviewed the Historic Landmarks Commission's recommendation, which will
be followed by a Board hearing.
B. Any legislative change initiated by the Board of County
Commissioners shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission
prior to action being taken by the Board of Commissioners.
FINDING: This criterion is met as the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed
amendments prior to a public hearing before the Board.
5. Section 22.12.050 Final Decision
All legislative changes shall be adopted by ordinance
FINDING: Land use application file no. 247-20-000253-PA and 247-20-000254-TA are
implemented by Ordinance Nos. 2020-006. This criterion is met.
B. STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS
The parameters for evaluating these specific amendments are based on an adequate
factual base and supportive evidence demonstrating consistency with Statewide Planning
Goals. The following findings demonstrate that Ordinance 2020-006 complies with
applicable Statewide Planning Goals and State Law.
Goal 1, Citizen Involvement is met through this adoption process because the
proposed amendments received noticed public hearings before the Historic
Landmarks Commission and the Board.
Exhibit F to Ordinance 2020-006 Page 6 of 14
Goal 2, Land Use Planning is met because ORS 197.610 allows local governments
to initiate post acknowledgment plan amendments (PAPAs). A Department of Land
Conservation and Development (DLCD) 35-day notice was initiated on March 30,
2020.3 This FINDINGS document provides the adequate factual basis and
documented analysis for this plan update.
Goal 3, Agricultural Lands and Goal 4, Forest Lands are not applicable because
the proposed amendments will not have an effect on the operation and/or preservation
of agricultural or forest lands. The proposed amendments impact the administration
of historic resource protection, they do not modify allowed uses or where uses can be
located. Some historic resources are located on agricultural and forest lands, but all
historic resources were developed well before the development of the Statewide
Planning Goals or land use regulations were adopted in Deschutes County.
Goal 5, Natural Resources, Scenic and Historic Areas, and Open Spaces will be
met because the purpose of the proposed amendment is to bring the County's historic
preservation ordinance up-to-date and in compliance with the updated State historic
preservation rule (i.e., OAR 660-023-0200). The text amendments mirror the model
ordinance which was informed by the 2017 amendments to OAR 660-023-0200.4
Goal 6, Air, Water and Land Resources Quality and Goal 7, Natural Hazards are
not applicable because the County has proposed amendments that effect the
administration of historic resource preservation. No development or land use changes
are proposed that impact air, water and land resource qualities or natural hazards.
Chapters 17, 18, and 19 of the County Code regulate uses, including uses within
historic structures or properties. Protection standards for air, water and land resource
quality and limitation of development in areas subject to natural hazard are provided
in these chapters, not the historic preservation ordinance (DCC 2.28). Again, the
historic preservation ordinance does not regulate uses or where a structure can be
located. Thus, Goal 6 is not applicable.
Goal 8, Recreational Needs is not applicable because the County is proposing
amendments to the County's administration of historic preservation. No development
or land use changes are being proposed that impact lands designated with
recreational resources.
Goal 9, Economic Development is not applicable because the proposed
amendments do not impact the ability of cities or counties to have enough land
available to realize economic growth and development opportunities. The
amendments pertain to the administration of historic preservation.
3 Deschutes County completed periodic review on January 23, 2003. The Comprehensive Plan Update
was adopted on November 9, 2011.
° SHPO and DLCD created the model ordinance, which is available here:
https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/pages/cig.aspx
Exhibit F to Ordinance 2020-006 Page 7 of 14
Goal 10, Housing is not applicable because, unlike municipalities, unincorporated
areas are not obligated to fulfill certain housing requirements.
Goal 11, Public Facilities is not applicable because the County is proposing
amendments to the administration of historic preservation. No development or land
use changes are being proposed that impact public facilities.
Goal 12, Transportation is not applicable because the County is proposing
amendments to the administration of historic preservation. No development or land
use changes are being proposed that impact transportation facilities.
Goal 13, Energy Conservation is not applicable because the County is proposing
amendments to the administration of historic preservation. No development or land
use changes are proposed that pertain to energy conservation. For example, the
proposed amendments do not prevent a historic -landmark property owner from
applying for permits to increase energy efficiency. A property owner is not precluded
from increasing their energy conservation if historic design standards are met. Again,
the proposed amendments are limited to the administration of historic preservation —
they do not increase or decrease allowed uses or similar standards.
Goal 14, Urbanization is not applicable because no expansion of an urban area is
proposed with these amendments.
Goals 15 through 19 are not applicable to any amendments to the County's
comprehensive plan because the County has none of those types of lands.
C. OAR 660-023 PROCEDURES AND REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPLYING WITH
GOAL 5
OAR 660-023-0200 Historic Preservation Rule
(2) Relationship of Historic Resource Protection to the Standard Goal 5
Process.
(a) Local governments are not required to amend acknowledged plans or
land use regulations in order to provide new or amended inventories,
resource lists or programs regarding historic resources, except as
specified in section (8). Local governments are encouraged to inventory
and designate historic resources and must adopt historic preservation
regulations to protect significant historic resources.
FINDING: Deschutes County has an adopted historic preservation ordinance.5 The
purpose of the proposed amendments is to comply with the recently updated OAR 660-
023-0200(8).
5 See DCC 2.28
Exhibit F to Ordinance 2020-006 Page 8 of 14
(b) The requirements of the standard Goal 5 process in OAR 660-023-0030
through 660-023-0050, in conjunction with the requirements of this rule,
apply when local governments choose to amend acknowledged historic
preservation plans and regulations.
(c) Local governments are not required to apply the ESEE process
pursuant to OAR 660-023-0040 in order to determine a program to protect
historic resources.
FINDING: The County's response to the requirements of the standard Goal 5 process in
OAR 660-023-0030 through 660-023-0050 are provided below.
OAR 660-023-0030
This section speaks to the inventory process to locate, evaluate, and potential adoption
of significant resources. The proposed amendments are unique in regards to this section
because they are intended to bring the County's historic preservation ordinance up-to-
date. There will be no collection or survey of potential resources because the County
already has an adopted historic or cultural resource list.6 Thus, there is no need to
evaluate potential resources for their significance. The adopted resource list has already
been deemed significant, which is why each resource is on the County's resource list or
on the National Register of Historic Places. Again, the proposed amendments seek to
amend the historic preservation ordinance to comply with the 2017 updated OARs,
including this specific section.
OAR 660-023-0040
Not applicable as provided above in sub (c).
OAR 660-023-0050
This section speaks to the various programs to achieve Goal 5 and refers to OAR 660-
023-0040. Staff finds this section is not applicable because the proposed amendments
do not modify conflicting uses. The amendments pertain to the administration of historic
preservation in order to comply with the 2017 updated OARs relevant to historic
resources.
(3) Comprehensive Plan Contents. Local comprehensive plans should foster
and encourage the preservation, management, and enhancement of
significant historic resources within the jurisdiction in a manner conforming
with, but not limited by, the provisions of ORS 358.605. In developing local
historic preservation programs, local governments should follow the
recommendations in the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines
for Archeology and Historic Preservation, produced by the National Park
Service. Local governments should develop a local historic context
6 Comprehensive Plan Section 5.9
Exhibit F to Ordinance 2020-006 Page 9 of 14
statement and adopt a historic preservation plan and a historic preservation
ordinance in conjunction with inventorying historic resources.
FINDING: The County has maintained policies and provisions to encourage historic
preservation since 1980 (i.e., a historic preservation ordinance). The County's historic
preservation ordinance is in compliance with ORS 358.605 which speaks to the
importance of preventing the destruction of historic or cultural resources and the
recommended development of preservation plans. The County's historic preservation
ordinance requires coordinated review with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and
Guidelines for Archeology and Historic Preservation. This requirement does not change
in the proposed amendments. While the County does not have a formally -adopted local
historic context statement, it is not a requirement in this situation.?
(4) Inventorying Historic Resources. When a local government chooses to
inventory historic resources, it must do so pursuant to OAR 660-023-0030,
this section, and sections (5) through (7). Local governments are
encouraged to provide opportunities for community -wide participation as
part of the inventory process. Local governments are encouraged to
complete the inventory in a manner that satisfies the requirements for such
studies published by the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office and
provide the inventory to that office in a format compatible with the Oregon
Historic Sites Database.
(5) Evaluating and Determining Significance...
FINDING: The County is not proposing to inventory historic resources and, thus, is not
required to evaluate or determine the significance of a resource. The proposed
amendments pertain to the administration of historic preservation.
(6) Designating Locally Significant Historic Resources...
FINDING: The County is not proposing to designate a Locally Significant Historic
Resource. While the proposed amendments include the addition of National Register
Resources to the Comprehensive Plan, such resources are not categorized as Locally
Significant Resources as defined in the applicable rule.
(7) Historic Resource Protection Ordinances. Local governments must adopt
land use regulations to protect locally significant historic resources
designated under section (6). This section replaces OAR 660-023-0050.
Historic protection ordinances should be consistent with standards and
guidelines recommended in the Standards and Guidelines for Archeology
and Historic Preservation published by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior,
produced by the National Park Service.
FINDING: The County has had a historic resource ordinance since 1980. DCC 2.28,
formerly PL-21, protects Locally Significant Historic Resources. However, as stated
7 There is a possibility of applying future CLG grant funds to creating such documents.
Exhibit F to Ordinance 2020-006 Page 10 of 14
above, the existing proposal does not include the designation of additional Locally
Significant Historic Resources.
(8) National Register Resources are significant historic resources. For these
resources, local governments are not required to follow the process
described in OAR 660-023-0030 through 660-023-0050 or sections (4) through
(6). Instead, a local government.
(a) Must protect National Register Resources, regardless of whether the
resources are designated in the local plan or land use regulations, by
review of demolition or relocation that includes, at minimum, a public
hearing process that results in approval, approval with conditions, or
denial and considers the following factors: condition, historic integrity,
age, historic significance, value to the community, economic
consequences, design or construction rarity, and consistency with and
consideration of other policy objectives in the acknowledged
comprehensive plan. Local jurisdictions may exclude accessory
structures and non-contributing resources within a National Register
nomination;
FINDING: The purpose of the amendments is to comply with this specific section. The
existing County historic preservation ordinance does not differentiate between Locally
Significant Historic Resources and National Register Resources (i.e., sites and districts
listed on the National Register of Historic Places). This means a National Register
Resource receives the same protections as a Locally Significant Historic Resource. The
County has proposed amendments to County Code 2.28 (historic preservation) in order
to comply with the 2017 updates to this OAR section and, thus, specifically define what
type of protections are provided to National Register Resources.
The proposed amendments define National Register Resources and creates two
categories for such resources:
• Resources listed before February 23, 2017
• Resources listed on or after February 23, 2017
Both categories receive certain protections as required by this rule. Resources listed
before the aforementioned date receive the same level of review as Locally Significant
Historic Resources (i.e., alteration, relocation, demolition). Demolition and relocation
proposals for resources listed after said date are required to have a public hearing that
reviews the condition, integrity, age, significance, etc. of the resource. Again, the purpose
of the proposed amendments is to comply with the 2017 updates to this OAR section,
and, specifically, the requirement to require a basic level of protections for National
Register Resources.
(b) May apply additional protection measures. For a National Register
Resource listed in the National Register of Historic Places after the
effective date of this rule, additional protection measures may be applied
Exhibit F to Ordinance 2020-006 Page 11 of 14
only upon considering, at a public hearing, the historic characteristics
identified in the National Register nomination; the historic significance of
the resource; the relationship to the historic context statement and
historic preservation plan contained in the comprehensive plan, if they
exist; the goals and policies in the comprehensive plan; and the effects
of the additional protection measures on the ability of property owners to
maintain and modify features of their property. Protection measures
applied by a local government to a National Register resource listed
before the effective date of this rule continue to apply until the local
government amends or removes them; and
FINDING: The County — at this time — is not proposing to apply additional protection
measures other than those already provided to National Register of Historic Places.
(c) Must amend its land use regulations to protect National Register
Resources in conformity with subsections (a) and (b). Until such
regulations are adopted, subsections (a) and (b) shall apply directly to
National Register Resources.
FINDING: The proposed amendments specifically address this requirement as they
update the County's historic preservation ordinance to conform to the applicable OARs
(660-023-0200(8)).
(9) Removal of a historic resource from a resource list by a local
government is a land use decision and is subject to this section
FINDING: The proposal does not involve the removal of a historic resource form the
resource list. That said, the standards found in this section are included in the text
amendments to comply with the latest OARs.
(10) A local government shall not issue a permit for demolition or
modification of a locally significant historic resource during the 120-day
period following:
FINDING: The proposal does not involve the removal of a historic resource form the
resource list. That said, the standards found in this section are included in the text
amendments in order to comply with the latest OARs.
D. CONSISTENCY WITH DESCHUTES COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Deschutes County updated its Comprehensive Plan on August 10, 2011.
Chapter 2, Resource Management
Section 2.11, Cultural and Historic Resources
Exhibit F to Ordinance 2020-006 Page 12 of 14
Goal 1 Promote the preservation of designated historic and cultural
resources through education, incentives and voluntary programs.
Policy 2.11.1 The Historic Landmarks Commission shall take the lead in
promoting historic and cultural resource preservation as defined in DCC
2.28.
a. Support incentives for private landowners to protect and restore historic
resources.
b. Support the Historic Landmarks Commission to promote educational
programs to inform the public of the values of historic preservation.
c. Support improved training for the Historic Landmarks Commission.
FINDING: The proposed Comprehensive Plan and text amendments are consistent with
Policy 2.11.1. The HLC created the work program that provided direction for staff to
update DCC 2.28 to comply with the State amendments to the historic preservation rule.
The proposed amendments will promote historic and cultural resource preservation by
providing a clear process for administering historic resource designations and protections.
Policy 2.11.2 Coordinate cultural and historic preservation with the Oregon
State Historic Preservation Office.
a. Maintain Deschutes County as a Certified Local Government.
b. Encourage private property owners to coordinate with the State Historic
Preservation Office.
FINDING: The proposed Comprehensive Plan and text amendments are consistent with
Policy 2.11.2. The State Historic Preservation Office and the Department of Land
Conservation and Development created a model ordinance for historic preservation that
complied with the latest revisions to the historic preservation rule in OAR 660-023-0200.
Staff utilized the model ordinance to audit Chapter 2.28 and develop text that needed to
be included in a historic preservation ordinance to comply with the State historic
preservation rule. The State Historic Preservation Office was consulted and provided
guidance on the proposed amendments.
The proposed amendments bring Chapter 2.28 into compliance with the historic
preservation rule, and, thus, maintains Deschutes County's status as a Certified Local
Government. The CLG status has certain requirements for a local jurisdiction. The
County's CLG status could be in jeopardy if the historic preservation ordinance is not up-
to-date and out of compliance. Thus, there is a need for the proposed amendments.
The sub -policy to encourage private property owners to coordinate with the State Historic
Preservation Office will not be impacted by the proposed amendments.
Policy 2.11.3 Encourage the preservation of lands with significant historic or
cultural resources.
a. Develop and maintain a comprehensive list of sites on the National
Register of Historic Places.
Exhibit F to Ordinance 2020-006 Page 13 of 14
b. Review County Code and revise as needed to provide incentives and
adequate regulations to preserve sites listed on the Statewide Goal 5
historic and cultural inventory.
FINDING: The Comprehensive Plan and text amendments are consistent with Policy
2.11.3. The amended text of the preservation ordinance will encourage preservation of
historic and cultural resources by way of clearly:
• Defining terms
• Listing what resources are protected
• Explaining how resources are protected
The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendments develop and maintain a list of
landmarks on the National Register of Historic Places, something that has not been done
before. The proposed amendments directly accomplish Policy 2.11.3(b) as the process
involves a thorough review of County Code and, subsequently, a list of amendments to
bring the County's historic preservation ordinance up to standard with the newly updated
historic preservation rule and the State's model ordinance. The updated procedures and
requirements more adequately preserve historic landmarks listed in the historic resource
list.

AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT
For Board of Commissioners BOCC Wednesday Meeting of July 22, 2020
DATE: July 14, 2020
FROM: Peter Russell, Community Development, 541-383-6718
TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
DELIBERATIONS: Transportation System Plan Text Amendment
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
Deliberations on TSP text amendment to 1) amend TSP text requirement that a frontage
precede a US 97 Bend -Redmond raised median by adding a reference to J-turns; 2)
deleting language to disconnect Vandevert Road from US 97. Staff Recommendation is to
Accept the plan amendment as proposed
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
Oregon Dept. of Transportation (ODOT) filed a land use application (247-20-000138-PA) to
amend the Transportation System Plan (TSP) text on pages 144, 147, and 165. The text
amendment on pages 144 and 165 would modify the requirement a frontage road precede a
raised median on US 97 by adding a reference to J-turns. J-turns are a directional break in a
raised median to accommodate U-turns, reducing out of direction travel. The text amendment
on page 147 would eliminate the text calling for Vandevert Road, a County collector, to be
disconnected from US 97. The Board held a public hearing on June 24, closing the oral record
and leaving the written record open until July 15.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 14, 2020
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Peter Russell, Senior Transportation Planner
RE: July 20, 2020, Board deliberations on proposed amendment to the Deschutes County
Transportation System Plan (TSP) text regarding 1) requirement a frontage road be in
place prior to installing a raised median barrier between Bend and Redmond, adding
a reference to J-turns and 2) removing language that Vandevert Road will be
disconnected from U.S. 97 (File 247-20-000138-PA).
The Board held a public hearing on June 24, 2020, on an application by the Oregon Department of
Transportation (ODOT) to amend the Deschutes County TSP text on pages 144 and 165 regarding
the frontage road preceding the raised median between Bend and Redmond and page 147
regarding disconnecting Vandevert Road from US 97. The proposed plan amendment (File No. 247-
20-000138-PA) would add a reference to J-turns to the text, allowing this form of a directional
median break as an option to a frontage road, but not eliminating the frontage road concept, and
deletes the disconnection of Vandevert Road from US 97. The proposed language is attached with
new language shown as underline and deleted language shown as strikethr9WgI . The Board
hearing is footnoted below.' The Board closed the oral record at the end of the hearing, but left the
written record open until 5 p.m. on July 15 and set July 20 for deliberations.

ATTACHMENTS
Bend to Redmond frontage road, raised median, and J-turns
1) Current TSP language on page 144 relating to Deschutes Junction and frontage or parallel
routes being required prior to installing a raised median:
"The agency recognizes the out of direction travel that would result and thus has stated the
current raised median would not be extended until a frontage road was in place on the west
side of U.S. 97."
ODOT's proposed language with text to be added shown as underlined and text to be deleted shown
as strikethreugh.
"The agency recognizes the out of direction travel that would result and thus has
stated the current raised median would not be extended until , frent ge read was in
plaEe-ter-th@ 1^Fo9_t_ side of U.S. 97 ODOT had a plan that would minimize out -of -
direction travel The plan could include installation of a frontage road, backage road,
or the addition of I turns on U.S. 97."
2) Current TSP language on page 165 regarding U.S. 97:
"Between Bend and Redmond the traffic volumes will exceed the threshold ODOT has
set for triggering a raised median. The County supports a raised median on U.S. 97,
provided an adequate system of frontage road(s) or parallel local alternate routes
precede the raised median's installation."
ODOT's proposed language with text to be added shown as underlined.
"The County supports a raised median on U.S. 97, provided an adequate system of
frontage road(s) or parallel local alternate routes or the addition of J turns precede
the raised median's installation."
Disconnecting Vandevert Road from US 97
3) Current TSP language on page 147:
"ODOT as part of its four -phased approach has identified intersections where
mainline volumes are high enough that a substantial number of drivers on the side
street will not have adequate gaps to turn onto or cross the highway. In the case of
Vandevert, drivers wishing to go north on U.S. 97 have an alternate route of
Huntington Road to South Century. The latter accesses the highway through a grade -
separated interchange.
Page 3 of 4
"Disconnecting Vandevert Road from U.S. 97 will require a formal request from ODOT
and a public hearing before the Board of County Commissioners."

Michael Wood
Administrator
Oregon Occupational Safety and Health
PO Box 14480
Salem, OR 97309
Submitted via electronic mail.
Dear Administrator Wood:
As representatives of Oregon's 36 counties, like the State, Oregon Occupational Safety and
Health (OSHA), and others, we are working tirelessly to protect the health, safety, and well-
being of all Oregonians. In our counties, we are balancing this with public health, economic, and
other concerns that are arising related to the pandemic while continuing to provide critical
everyday services to our constituents.
We are writing today to express our concerns related to Oregon OSHA rules and programs for
agricultural and food processing workers implemented in response to COVID-19. Through an
expedited process, Oregon OSHA promulgated temporary rules for additional sanitation,
transportation, and housing measures. Unfortunately, this expedited timeline did not provide a
thorough public process that could allow for those being regulated or impacted to provide public
comment. Counties are hearing loud and clear from our constituents that these changes have
created significant challenges and barriers for general operating needs, processes, and
expenses.
During COVID-19 pandemic, it is even more critical to increase efforts to protect workers, which
is why county emergency services stepped up to the plate and partnered with the State to
support the agricultural and food processing industries, critical industries in our local economies.
Counties supplied these industries with personal protective equipment and hand sanitizer.
Individual producers and processors made the decision to proactively test workers before they
were placed in farmworker housing or began to work to further advance mitigation measures.
We know these actions are crucial steps to help protect vulnerable workers.
Agricultural and food processing industries have been able to obtain the necessary additional
hand washing stations and portable restrooms to comply with the temporary rule. However,
these industries are struggling to identify housing that will meet the new standards. Innovative
and emergency housing solutions, such as use of tents to keep workers separated during their
time in workforce housing are not allowed under the temporary rules, resulting in challenges
with hiring migrant workforce to support seasonal harvest. Ultimately, this reduces the number
of employees who are working in fields, orchards, and vineyards, reducing overall harvest.
Counties are concerned that those working to comply and create a safe workplace for Oregon
workers are not being heard and that those industries are suffering. Industry has sought relief
from the new, temporary rules; however, flexibility has not been granted. We ask that Oregon
OSHA engage in a transparent, public rulemaking process, to allow those being impacted by the
proposed rules to have the ability to voice their concerns, partner on collaborative solutions, and
prepare to adapt their practices with consideration for employees; best practices; and economic
impact.
Additionally, these rules were implemented and intended to be temporary to address health and
safety needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Counties are concerned that a version of the
temporary rules may become permanent in October without having gone through the traditional
and transparent public rulemaking process. We ask that any extension of the temporary rules
continue as temporary and expire concurrently with the state of emergency declaration as
intended.
Counties are also hearing from the agricultural community that Oregon OSHA is deploying an
Emphasis Program on the agriculture and food processing industries due to an increase in
COVID-19 positive test results in those industries. From the onset of the pandemic, counties,
the State, the agricultural community, and food processing facilities have been working together
proactively to protect workers. Workers are being tested in advance of housing placement to
mitigate spread of the virus, adding additional sanitation options, and other workplace safety
measures, such as protective plexiglass between workstations. In fact, because workers are
likely to come to work even though they know they are sick, Oregon has funded the Oregon
Worker Relief Fund to encourage workers to stay home by paying them wage replacement of
$430 a week, or $860 for two weeks. These proactive measures are keeping workers safe. The
Emphasis Program, however, is counterintuitive. It penalizes operations that have increased
testing and is not supportive of the proactive and collaborative approach these industries,
counties, and the State are focused on to promote health, safety, and well-being of Oregonians.
We ask that Oregon OSHA work with the agricultural community to tailor a program that will
protect workers in the safest manner possible.
Finally, Oregon OSHA seeks to develop an infectious disease standard by September 1, 2020.
We are concerned about the process to prepare such a standard. Unfortunately, this one -size -
fits -all approach creates an insurmountable standard for industry to meet and does not
recognize unique circumstances across industry types. What is more concerning is that this
broad -brush approach is being pursued in an expedited, non -transparent manner after both the
State Legislature and Congress have raised strong concerns and have elected not to pursue
such a standard. We are concerned about the impact of such a standard at such a challenging
time not only for our agriculture and food processing industries but also other industries, and
particularly as they do not appear to have a seat at the table. We ask that Oregon OSHA take
heed of the concerns expressed at the federal and State levels and include industry in the
discussion by making this a fair and transparent process.
• 0
. O!'
We are all navigating the challenges surrounding the pandemic and trying to best support the
safety, health, and well-being of Oregonians. As the direct responders in this pandemic,
counties ask that Oregon OSHA:
• Provide a transparent and open process for rulemaking to allow for public engagement;
• Consider modifications to the existing temporary rules; and
• Take a collaborative approach to addressing workforce safety that takes into
consideration unique industry needs.
Counties, employers, workers, and the State are all partners in our responses to the COVID-19
pandemic. Thank you for your partnership and your consideration of our requests at this critical
time.
Respectfully,

the expense of the County and the identified service districts will cause undue financial harm and possible
service disruption to the County and the identified service districts; and (b) our belief that economic impacts
associated with COVID-19 are still emerging and largely unknown and that prudence suggests that the Core

which will lessen the resultant fiscal hardships on countywide taxing districts to fund annual operational
increases coinciding with population growth and inflationary cost increases.
Section 3. This Resolution shall take effect immediately from and after its adoption.

DESCHUTES COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE
�.' L. Shane Nelson, Sheriff
Proudly Serving Our Community
July 22, 2020
Mayor and City Council Members,
Thank you for taking the time to review my input on the proposed Urban Renewal District Project. Matt Stuart is a
great representative for the City of Bend and he has been attentive and service oriented in meeting with us and
answering questions. After review of this proposal, I am against utilizing a Core Area TIF for this urban renewal
project for a few reasons.
I am thankful the voters (our bosses) approved law enforcement tax districts in 2006 which has provided stable
funding for Sheriff s Office operations. This money was dedicated to public safety services, and I feel that it is
important for the voters to weigh in on the Tax Increment Finance (TIF) District. These tax dollars go to paying for
essential public safety functions that are critical in a growing community.
This current project would be an estimated $237 million project that is focused on developing one neighborhood in
Bend. This money would be used to secure loans to private industry wanting to develop areas in the city. I believe
any project with this price tag should be approved by the voters. The portion of TIF money that would come from
future Sheriffs Office Tax District revenue over the next thirty years would equate to $20 million. That is a
considerable amount of money that will not go to fund public safety.
There are currently two other TIF projects in Bend: Juniper Ridge and Murphy Crossing urban renewal projects,
which to date have taken a million dollars from the Sheriff s Office Tax District. Those projects have
underperformed, and have not fulfilled the projections of the City.
ORS 457 allows for this process to fund urban renewal districts to address and reduce blight, taking dollars from
other taxing districts. I would offer my opinion that to describe the Core Area as blighted is at the least arguable and
I would state inaccurate; it is my belief the Core Area will grow without a TIF if the past is any indicator. In the last
ten years Deschutes County has had rapid growth to the tune of 21% which eclipsed the nation's average growth of
6%. People are coming to this area without government subsidized loans for development.
As you know, state and local government budgets are being cut as a result of the pandemic. The State of Oregon is
projecting an 18% budget cut, the City of Bend is projecting a budget cut by 10% in every department.
Sheriffs Stiles, Blanton, and I have been careful in deciding how to use these taxpayer -approved funds. We were
able to reduce the rural district tax rate by 6% in 2018, now in our third year, due to my Sheriffs Office teammates
being responsible in the use of taxpayer approved dollars. I want to continue to serve the citizens of the county and
be a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars.
I was born and raised in Deschutes County, and have watched the growth of the county and Bend. Because
Deschutes County remains a desirable place to live, work, and raise a family, this region will continue to grow. I
don't have any issue with the project, only the way it will be funded; taking money from public safety. The Core
Area does not need government intervention and subsidizing of development.
Respectfully,
L. Shane Nelson, Sheriff
