Environmental Health staff Eric Mone and Thomas Kuhn along with CFO Greg Munn (via Zoom conference call) presented information on environmental health licensing. Based on the negative impacts of the COVID19 pandemic for businesses, Mr. Mone recommended consideration to waive any late fees associated with untimely payment of the 2021 license fees. Commissioner Chang expressed concern for the local business and also concern for covering expenses of the Environmental Health department services. Commissioner Adair acknowledged all of the hard work and expense that our restaurants are faced with in conjunction with the pandemic and limited operations. Commissioner DeBone recommended splitting the license fee in two portions during the year. County Administrator Anderson commented on the balance of the Environmental Health fund that was determined by the budget committee and possible assistance that may come from future CARES Act funding. Commissioner Adair supports waiving the late license fees. Commissioner Chang agreed if able. Commissioner DeBone agreed to support waiving late fees. Mr. Mone reported 161 Deschutes County restaurants have not paid their 2021 license as of today. The Commissioners asked County Counsel Dave Doyle to provide his opinion. Mr. Doyle commented on the unique situation due to the COVID19 pandemic and stated that OHA has taken the position that applicable state statute and the contract between OHA and the County preclude the County from waiving fees. Mr. Doyle acknowledged that a strict reading of the statutes and the contract supports that position. This item will be continued until a future BOCC meeting for further review of options.

Board of Commissioners BOCC Meeting Agenda Wednesday, January 6, 2021 Page 3 of 3 January 6, 2021 Dear Commissioners, Since February 2020 the HUNS have persistently tried to make their objections to the Hunnell Road Improvement Project known to the County Road Department. In the last three months we have interacted with you to make you aware of our objections. We truly appreciate your willingness to hear our concerns, as well as the adjustments to the road design the County Road Department made as a result of our suggestions. I will not repeat our objections in details but the main points are as follows: — Hunnell Road should be designed as a local road and not a collector. There was no public involvement of the neighborhood in determining this designation as required by the TSP. — The "High Priority" of the project was determined without public involvement of the neighborhood as required by the TSP. — The HUNS do not need a Hunnell Raod improvement and are happy with the way it serves the needs of the neighborhood. — Based on the traffic volumes supplied by the County Road Department (400 vehicles a day today versus 900 to 1100 after completion of the project), the improvement at a cost of $4.6 million is clearly not justified. Using our own trail cameras we have measured less then 100 vehicles a day, and not 400, over the past few months. — Hunnell Road connects Tumalo Road to Rodgers Road. There is no road between Rodgers Road and Loco Road (just a dirt path) and the improvement would add a few miles to the system. The TSP states that "Deschutes County shall not add any miles of collectors unless the need for a road can be clearly demonstrated". It has not been demionstrated in any way. — The TSP also states that the "The vast majority of county collectors have sufficient capacity to accommodate the forecast 2030 traffic volumes. Some segments roles will require improvements". But Hunnell Road is not mentionned as one of them. The Hunnell Road Improvement Project requires a lot of resources of the County Road Department that could be used to work on other needed projects. In view of our objections we feel that the improvement project should be stoped. Thank you for listening to the HUMS' assessment of the Hunnell Road Improvement Project and happy new year. Michel Bayard President of the Hunnell United Neighbors Lady and Gentlemen, The Supreme Court of the United States has an opinion recorded in the Sixteenth American Jurisprudence, Second Edition, Section 177 (late 2nd Ed. Section 256). It speaks on the topic of the duty to an unconstitutional law. It reads as follows: "The general misconception is that any statute passed by legislators bearing the appearance of law constitutes the law of the land. The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land, and any statue, to be valid, must agree. It is impossible for both the Constitution and a law violating it to be valid; one must prevail. This is succinctly stated as follows: The general rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having the form and name of law, is in reality no law, but is wholly void, and ineffective for any purpose; since unconstitutionality dates from the time of its enactment, and not merely from the date of the decision so branding it. An unconstitutional law, in legal contemplation, is as inoperative as if it had never been passed. Such a statute leaves the question that it purports to settle just as it would be had the statute not been enacted. Since an unconstitutional law is void, the general principals follow that it imposes no duties, confers no rights, creates no office, bestows no power or authority on anyone, affords no protection, and justifies no acts performed under it ... A void act cannot be legally consistent with a valid one. An unconstitutional law cannot operate to supersede any existing valid law. Indeed, insofar as a statute runs counter to the fundamental law of the land, it is superseded thereby. No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it." I am going to show to you and a candid State that the executive orders used by Kate Brown to rule over the Oregon People are in at least 9 instances complete violations to our Oregon Constitution. As you have read above, no law can be valid when it is contrary to the constitution. So, let us begin. Article X-A lays out the duty of the governor and government when an emergency is declared. You will see that in section 1, clause 2 (d) Public Health Emergencies are enumerated in its authority. I have attached the article as an exhibit for you to reference, so you will see 4 clear violations of this article. Article X-A Section 1 Clause (4) At the time the Governor invokes the provisions of this Article under subsection (3) of this section the Governor shall issue a proclamation convening the Legislative Assembly under section 12, Article V of this Constitution, unless: If you choose to research this article for yourselves, you will find that the "Unless" reasons are not valid to the timeline that Brown has acted within. We have not had the legislature convened for the purpose to satisfy this constitutional obligation, and hence the people have been left to the hands of one and void of representation in our government. Article X-A Section 6. Termination of operation of this Article; extension by Legislative Assembly; (1) the provisions of sections 1 to 5 of this Article, once invoked, shall cease to be operative not later than 30 days following the date the Governor invoked the provisions of sections 1 to 5 of this Article, or on an earlier date recommended by the Governor and determined by the Legislative Assembly (2) Prior to expiration of the 30-day limit established in subsection (1) of this section, the Legislative Assembly may extend the operation of sections 1 to 5 of this Article beyond the 30- day limit upon the approval of three -fifths of the members of each house (5) The Governor may not invoke the provisions of sections 1 to 5 of this Article more than one time with respect to the same catastrophic disaster This illegal executive action began in March 2020, far beyond the 30 or even 60-day limits IF Brown had bothered to convene the legislature. Now, none of the orders have been for 30 days AND there have clearly been extensions issued for which none have been by the legislature. I have listed 4 clear violations of just one Article in our Constitution SO FAR. Article 4 Section 14. Deliberations to be open; rules to implement requirement. The deliberations of each house, of committees of each house or joint committees and of committees of the whole, shall be open. December's emergency session of the legislature was CLOSED to the public, due to the executive order issued by Brown. The State Police used heavy force to ensure the public was kept out of the building the Oregon Constitution reaffirmed MUST be open. Article 3 Section 1. Separation of powers. The powers of the Government shall be divided into three separate branches, the Legislative, the Executive, including the administrative, and the Judicial; and no person charged with official duties under one of these branches, shall exercise any of the functions of another, except as in this Constitution expressly provided. This article is noticeably clear and distinct in purpose, to prevent power from being assumed that is not delegated. It is not a power of the executive branch to make law. The executive's sole authority is to execute the law as written by the legislative branch, not write her own or remove what is inconvenient. ORS 401.192 is being used in clear violation of Article 3 Section 1. Brown relies heavily on this statute to push her executive order upon the People of Oregon. The legislature's intent here was for the legislature to be passing the rules and orders discussed in this Statute, as that is the process described in Article X-A, the very reason why the legislature was to be convened. ORS 401.192 All rules and orders issued under authority conferred by ORS 401.165 (Declaration of state of emergency) to 401.236 (Rules) shall have the full force and effect of law both during and after the declaration of a state of emergency. All existing laws, ordinances, rules and orders inconsistent with ORS 401.165 (Declaration of state of emergency) to 401.236 (Rules) shall be inoperative during the period of time and to the extent such inconsistencies exist. Article 1 Section 26. Assemblages of people; instruction of representatives; application to legislature. No law shall be passed restraining any of the inhabitants of the State from assembling together in a peaceable manner to consult for their common good; nor from instructing their Representatives; nor from applying to the Legislature for redress of grievances. Not only is Brown using 401.192 as the authority in her EO to usurp A3S1, but she has also usurped the Rights enumerated in Article 1 Section 26 with her gathering limits and again limiting access to every single government building in this State. 1 am forced to write a damn letter to address my elected officials or register for a zoom meeting. This is not the intent of this article and under no circumstance, emergency or not, does the State have any authority to suspend an unalienable right. Article 1 Section 22. Suspension of operation of laws. The operation of the laws shall never be suspended, except by the Authority of the Legislative Assembly. Once again, this executive order through unconstitutionally applied revised statutes claiming authority to dictate to the People the how, when and who they can live their lives with goes beyond the constitutional barrier that every law must adhere. 1 would like to reference the words above. SHALL NEVER BE SUSPENDED. This is clear, and no interpretation required. NEVER is definitive. It does not say SOMETIMES, or when necessary, it says NEVER. Now refer to 401.192 above. Does that fit the definition of NEVER? Article 1 Section 21. Ex -post facto laws; laws impairing contracts; laws depending on authorization in order to take effect; laws submitted to electors. No ex -post facto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts shall ever be passed, nor shall any law be passed, the taking effect of which shall be made to depend upon any authority, except as provided in this Constitution. Brown's use of executive agencies such as OSHA and OLCC constitute a willful violation of this Article. A license is a contract to operate, for which the terms may not be changed midstream without the consent of both parties to the agreement. Moving the flagpoles and adding requirements that businesses become the "WEAPON OF THE STATE" to enforce these draconian orders is not only cowardly, but a huge misuse of power NOT delegated. Secondly, the next provision expressly rejects that application of revised statutes such as 401.192 can be valid as they arbitrarily create rule and regulation that did not exist prior to this executive order, AND the constitution, expressly article X-A which we have reviewed above gives no such authority to create any rule, law, or regulation that Brown sees fit. Section 20. Equality of privileges and immunities of citizens. No law shall be passed granting to any citizen or class of citizens privileges, or immunities, which, upon the same terms, shall not equally belong to all citizens. — Simply put, the law is mandated to be equally applied to every person of this State. Our local restaurants and stores do not have the same immunities, privileges as stores such as Walmart, Best Buy or Home Depot. Stores like these are fully open, flocked with people touching every item on every isle, while local shops and restaurants are forced shut or at minimum capacity, threatened by Brown's army, her executive agents. There is nothing equal about the application of this EO. Article 1 Section 2. Freedom of worship. All men shall be secure in the Natural right, to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their own consciences. Article 1 Section 3. Freedom of religious opinion. No law shall in any case whatever control the free exercise, and enjoyment of religious opinions, or interfere with the rights of conscience. Our churches have suffered immensely, they have been forced to close, reduce attendance, all without valid authority, done under threat of force and extortion. These 2 articles are truly clear, that the State has no business or authority in the operation of Church. People are free to choose the how and when they worship without influence from an abusive government. Commissioners and Sheriff, these disclosures are just the mere beginning to the issues within the Executive Order. 1 have only addressed one ORS within that has been used to abuse the people of this State. 1 can go on about how many others are misapplied, misconstrued and cherry picked to push this agenda. For instance, Chapter 401 of the Revised Statutes was clearly written to address MANAGEMENT of major disasters such as floods, fire, earthquake, tsunami, etc. These are all detailed out not only in Chapter 401 but also in Article X-A. The authorities delegated here were intended to restore the State to order and help the victims in recovery, NOT instill draconian measures on questionable data and science. In fact, chapter 433, specifically 433.441 hits directly on public health emergencies, yet Brown refuses to acknowledge the 14-day limit instilled within the statute. As stated above, no law can be unconstitutional and lawfully forced on the People of the State. If a simple pig farmer can read and figure this out, I know you can see the some. One constitutional conflict is enough to invalidate a law or rule, I have shown you at least nine. What we all need to find interesting is Brown has included a "Severability" clause in her executive order. This is not only proof that she blatantly knows she is working outside of the law, but also shows that she intends to continue to do so without regard to our foundational principles that all law if founded upon. Secondly, on this issue, severability clauses are reserved for contracts, an executive order is NOT a contract. A contract requires at least 2 parties, of which all agree to the terms set forth. This executive order is no contract, its more of a proclamation from a self-appointed queen instead. She is basically saying, "1 will do as I please, and if something turns out to be illegal, well the rest is still OK until it is found to be illegal too..." That is not the purpose of executive orders. Executive orders direct executive agencies on the process and plan of how the executive branch intends to execute the law AS WRITTEN. I will be taking this information, along with more, regarding the revised statutes to every business that is willing to listen. I will be offering our complete support and protection if they choose to open back to our neighborhoods. The People and our community specifically have had enough, and it is time that we stand up to this overreaching NON -AUTHORITY. You can do with this information as you wish, take it, or leave it. Article 1 Section 1 clearly defines what the role of the People is when governments act unjustly. The constitution is the consent of the people to be governed, and the terms within the contract between Us and You. I hope you choose to stand up and interpose. That is the proper role of jurisdictional governments. One protects the people from the other, and vice versa, creating layers of protection from overreach and unjust actions. The declaration of Independence states: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed Lastly, there is a reason your oath taken was to support and defend the Constitutions. The very reason is clearly laid out here. "That to secure these rights..." Not all laws and rules adhere to the constitution, and the constitution is our consent to be governed; we agreed only to be governed by rules and laws that meet those qualifications and protect our rights. Ultimately, your Oath is to the People, because without that beautiful document, you would not have our consent. In conclusion, I hope this has opened your eyes to what is important. 1 hope you choose to stand with the People and not with a governor turned tyrant. The answer is quite simple, yet never easy. This is the beauty of a self- aovernina society. Solutions exist when abuses of power take place. We are not Subjects to a crown; we are free people that choose to be governed in a specific predetermined manner, not subject to the whims and ambitions of a single individual. You have a duty, we all hope you choose the right path. It is time to make that choice. Sincerely, BJ Soper Area of proposed airstrip construction 5 January, 2021 I am writing to submit a formal comment to oppose the approval of a personal -use airstrip on the Polvi property in Deschutes County. This proposal is put forth strictly for the convenience of the property owner and supports no benefit or function to the surrounding public or the environment. In fact, the creation and use of an airstrip in this area is likely to result in significant disturbance to local wildlife associated with the Deschutes River and associated wetlands as well as surrounding terrestrial wildlife habitat. The proximity of the airstrip to flying birds attracted by the water ways in this part of the Nigh Desert is, in fact, a serious safety hazard and it is surprising that the County is considering this proposal, at all! Air traffic is almost certain to conflict with local flyways and what will be the result of a bird x aircraft strike? I will tell you: birds and local wildlife will be considered a "problem" and will be dealt with accordingly, as humans tend to do with perceived safety hazards. There is no good justification for this airstrip. It is not for safety or security of the landowner —there is a perfectly good airport just miles away from the property owner. Let them use that. Because of the blatant dichotomy between the health and security of local wildlife and habitat versus the fun and convenience of a tiny handful of people, we cannot support this project.

We strongly encourage the Department of Transportation to fund this grant request. We see more than 4.5 million visitors flock to Central Oregon each year. Many times, people who vacation here fall in love with the area and look to make Central Oregon home - by seeking employment or relocating their business. The proposed direct flight to Dallas/Fort Worth will provide a vital connection for people traveling in and out of Central Oregon, bringing new people to Central Oregon that will have a measurable impact on our economic base. Currently, there are no direct services between Redmond and locations east of Phoenix. As Central Oregon continues to grow, we expect demand for direct flights to continue to increase. The Redmond airport served more than a million passengers in 2019, a 100% increase over the previous five years. This past year, even amidst the pandemic, our region continued to experience growth as people who live, work and own companies in more densely populated areas choose to move to Central Oregon and work remotely. We encourage you to fund the Redmond Airport's grant application. Doing so will benefit our local economy, help us attract new employers and likely will lead to the creation of more family wage jobs in our region. Sincerely, The Deschutes County Board of Commissioners Tony DeBone, Chair Phil Chang, Vlce-Chair Patti Adair, Commissioner 1300 NW Wall Street Bend, Oregon 97703 Qi (541) 388-6572 board@deschutes.org @www.deschutes.org
