PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
CITIZEN INPUT:
• Ron Boozell said the change of the Board positions to non -partisan gives him hope for
the new year. He encouraged the Commissioners to find a reason to leave their
respective political parties, saying they serve the county first.
• Jamie Bowles, a habitat biologist for Oregon Fish and Wildlife, encouraged the County to
update its wildlife inventory to address the declining population of mule deer.
• Emily Weidner of US Fish and Wildlife's Bend Field Office said bald eagles and golden
eagles are protected species, and golden eagles in particular are highly susceptible to
disturbances. Adding that the number of golden eagles is declining throughout their
range, she said the USFW seeks additional coordination with the County.
• Karl Findling, representing the Oregon Chapter of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers,
urged completion of the Goal 5 updates to the wildlife inventory maps.
BOCC MEETING
JANUARY 4, 2023 PAGE 1 OF 8
• Mary Jo Hedrick, a member of the Oregon Hunters Association, requested that the
County update its wildlife inventories to document the existing populations and their
habitats along with seasonal migration information.
• Steve Hagen, president of the Oregon Hunters Association, spoke to the decline of the
mule deer population and said a four -lane highway would further lower their numbers.
He advocated for a place where deer can safely winter and supported including this
matter in the Planning Division's 2023 work plan.
• Michael O'Casey said that Deschutes County has a responsibility to make sure that
development responsibly accounts for wildlife habitat. Noting that much of the county is
winter range for mule deer, he supported proceeding with an update of the wildlife
inventory.
Commissioner Chang thanked the persons who commented on the wildlife inventory
matter. He agreed that habitat loss and fragmentation are key to the decrease in the
mule deer population and further agreed that the wildlife overlays for mule deer, elk
and eagles must be updated without further delay.
Chair DeBone acknowledged the receipt of emails from:
• Mary Jo Hedrick, encouraging the inclusion of the Goal 5 Wildlife Inventory update in
the Planning Department's FY 2022-23 work plan;
• Joy Newhart, expressing pleasure that Worrell Park will not be modified to make
room for parking;
• James Bouziane and Kerry Shandro, opposing the siting of a refuse transfer station
on Bear Creek Road; and
• Dorinne Tye, objecting to low -flying aircraft over her home.

ACTION ITEMS:
12. Presentation from KOR Land Trust on its Workforce Housing Program
and Partnerships
Jackie Keogh, executive director of KOR Community Land Trust, presented on the
organization's Workforce Housing Program which offers affordable
homeownership opportunities in collaboration with employers. She described
the program and said homeownership is not contingent on continued
employment or on the salary which qualified an approved buyer —thus
approved persons can experience losses or gains in household income without
affecting their continued participation in the program.
Commissioner Chang inquired about current AMI amounts. Keogh offered to
supply a chart showing estimates, which depend on household size.
Commissioners expressed appreciation for the presentation and information.
Keogh shared that on January 12th, KOR will announce opportunities for the
Poplar development, which will offer deed -restricted homes that will resell only
BOCC MEETING
JANUARY 4, 2023 PAGE 3 OF 8
to income -qualified households. KOR is also in talks with employers about
opportunities for the Simpson development.
Commissioner Adair asked about La Pine. Keogh responded that the trust is
looking at land in that area.
13. Public Hearing and Consideration of Order No. 2023-003, Vacating a Public
Right of Way in Section 19 of Township 18S, Range 12E, W.M.
Cody Smith, County Engineer, provided information on the proposed vacation of
right-of-way, describing the location and petitioners along with other affected
property owners. The vacation is sought to facilitate site improvements at Bend
Christian Fellowship Church. Staff recommends approval subject to conditions.
Commissioner Chang referred to future needs for frontage roads and trail
corridors and asked if the right-of-way could be shifted to the eastern edge of
the properties instead of being vacated altogether. Smith responded that this
idea could be discussed in conjunction with the County's legal staff, although he
was unsure why this property had been dedicated as right-of-way in the first
place as it was never accepted by the County.
The public hearing was opened at 10:02 am.
Benjamin Miller, petitioner and lead pastor of Bend Christian Fellowship Church,
said the right-of-way was created for no reason that he can ascertain. The
County has no need for it, it hinders the church from establishing solar facilities,
and it prevents the property owner from constructing a fence to deter criminal
activity which is an ongoing safety and security issue.
The public hearing was closed at 10:08 am.
Kim Riley, Assistant Legal Counsel, said vacation statutes do not offer or
contemplate discussions or negotiations for right-of-way exchanges, although
the Board could direct staff to look into this.

Subject: Goal 5 Wildlife Inventory Update
ome people who received this message don't often get email from wildbio59@gmail.com. Learn why this is important
[EXTERNAL EMAIL]
To Deschutes County Commissioners Patti Adair, Phil Chang and Tony DeBone.
Oregon Hunters Association (OHA) a conservation organization with nearly 10,000 members in 26 chapters across
Oregon urges Deschutes County Commissioners to include the Goal 5 Wildlife Inventory update in the Planning
Department FY 22-23 work plan.
Surveys have shown Eastern Oregon, in particular Central Oregon, is a very popular area for both deer and elk hunting. A
Travel Oregon's Outdoor Recreation. Economic Impact Study showed hunters in 2019 spent $2,988,409.29 and
generated $1,488,223.69 in wages and $175,828.20 in state and local taxes in Deschutes County: In addition, wildlife
watchers in 2019 spent $18,863,582.40 and generated $9,394,037.91 in wages and $1,109,871.32 in state and local
taxes in Deschutes County.
In May 2021, Deschutes County received a Wildlife Inventory Update Public Outreach Report (Report) which was funded
with Oregon general fund dollars through the Department of Land Conservation and Development. The Report identified
three of the County's wildlife inventories in need of update: mule deer winter range, elk winter range, and sensitive
birds (golden and bald eagles) because the existing wildlife inventories are dated (early 1990s) and no longer represent
the best available scientific data for the inventoried wildlife habitat.
Mule deer populations have experienced declines in much of Eastern Oregon and loss or deterioration of habitat has
been associated with these declines. As the human population grows and development pressure increases, it is
becoming increasingly apparent that using outdated inventories can result in more conflicts between land use and
wildlife protection. An Interagency Working Group consisting of agency species experts reviewed existing data and
developed new inventories based on the best available science and professional opinion for the Report.
Mule deer and elk that winter within Deschutes County don't all summer in Deschutes County. Mule deer and elk
migrate to summer ranges in six adjacent counties, Jefferson, Crook, Lake, Klamath, Lane, and Linn. The Deschutes
County commissioners should recognize the influence that the Deschutes County Goal 5 Wildlife Inventory update
decision will have to these adjacent counties. Travel Oregon's Outdoor Recreation Economic Impact Study showed
hunters spent $37,133,645.92 and wildlife watchers spent $69,729,550.03 in these six counties combined.
Based on the Report 92% of respondents to the online survey whether respondents lived in a current or proposed
wildlife inventory area or were not sure if they do support using the proposed new inventories to inform the process of
updating the Comprehensive Plan and development code. These responses reveal the importance of, and protection of
wildlife is a widely shared value in Deschutes County, and that there is support for pursuing the next steps involved in
the Goal 5 Wildlife Inventory update.
Thank you for considering including the Deschutes County Goal 5 Wildlife Inventory update in the Planning Department
FY 22-23 work plan.

Bend
December 27, 2022
TO: Deschutes County Commissioners:
Patti Adair
Tony Debone
Phil Chang; and
Solid Waste Advisory Committee (SWAC),, and
COID Director and Board
SUBJECT: Proposed. Transfer Station Site ID# 181300 (COID land)
FROM: James Bouziane and Kerr, Shandro, 23420 Bear Creek Road, Bend, OR 97701
We OPPOSE the proposal for the construction of a refuse transfer station, or any similar use, on
Bear Creek Road, Site ID# 181300.
This area of east Bend has been only modestly developed in the past 100 years and within the
constraints of a rural -agricultural construct. It is a precious example of what rural Bend used to
be. It deserves your recognition as a finite resource, and as such, your protection from
unnecessary and unreasonable development.
State and county laws, rules, recommendations, past practice and general operating guidelines
have established the protection of the natural resources in this area of the high desert through
zoning such as. Exclusive Farm Use, irrigation water conservation management rules, parcel size
limitations and other factors meant to keep this area rural.
A transfer refuse station would cause irreversible physical, psychological and financial damage
to the families, wildlife, protected wildlife, livestock, domestic pets, native trees, shrubs,
grasses, and ancient lava rock outcroppings that co -exist in this community.
We live on a 20-acre ranch zoned EFU with COID irrigation water rites 6/10t" of a mile from the
site. We have cattle, horses, chickens, goats, and dogs on our property, and many of my
neighbors are pursuing similar EFU/ag-related lifestyles. We have refurbished the original
farmhouse that was built on a lava rock foundation that dates to 1915.
have lived in metropolitan areas in major cities for most of my adult life, and in retirement my
wife and I chose to live in a rural, country setting to enjoy the quality of life, serene geography,
and safety that this type of living provides. In selecting Oregon and Deschutes County, we
admired and respected the stewardship that the state and county enacted with legislation to
preserve the land, water, trees, living creatures and other facets of nature that can be
maintained when things such as EFU zoning exist. We also have surface water
rights that require us to irrigate the land responsibly to ensure the land and wildlife can be
managed to protect them for many decades into the future.
An abbreviated summary of my opposition includes:
1. The site would be located in a well -established residential community with farms, ranches,
and equestrian centers. Bear Creek Road and Ten Barr Ranch Road are used by road cycling
enthusiasts, walking, jogging, walking dogs, walking and riding horses. These activities would be.
curtailed, or stopped completely, due to the danger from commercial trucks, noise, dust and
debris.
2. It is zoned EFU for many purposes, one of which is keeping Oregon and the Deschutes County
beautiful, and to encourage the beneficial stewardship of the land and resources which are
diminishing resources. If you rezone for the purpose of a landfill, you are in conflict with the
spirit of the law if not the letter, and introduce an unintended use and unintended
consequences of this valuable land about seven miles from downtown Bend.
3. Bear Creek Road is a gravel road after it crosses Ten. Barr Ranch Road. This section is about
1.5 miles in length, narrow, and terminates at a dead-end which is one of the two access points
to hiking, horse riding and biking trails on the. BLM. Improving Bear Creek Road to handle the
heavy commercial truck traffic would include widening, grading and paving. The intersection of
Ten Barr Ranch Road and Bear. Creek Road is not suitable for cross -traffic of this nature and
would need engineering, grading and paving, etc., to make it safe. The financial impacts would
be significant to the County. A roadway project of this size and scope would cause significant
damage to the serenity, safety and quality of life of our neighborhood.
4. There are private property parcels at this intersection that would need to be acquired by the
County to make the road improvements. Hostile actions such as eminent domain,
condemnation or by other coercive means would be met with litigation.
5. There are domestic wells in the immediate area of the proposed site.
6. There is one bald eagle nest in the area with eagles that return each year. Bald eagles
typically have one or two other nests in addition to their primary nests so more than likely
there are other nests within a one -mile radius of the site. Additionally, there are osprey,
herons, great horned owls, various raptors, geese, ducks, mule deer, elk and cougars.
7. A review of the soil analysis data on the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Services
website specifically lists this site as "Very Limited" in several categories for landfill use. It is
Gosney Rock Outcrop and Descamp Complex with unearthed bedrock at 24", lava plains, and
lithic bedrock at 10-20." The topography is relatively flat with fantastic lava rock outcroppings
and beautiful old growth Junipers: This would mean you would have to create an enormous
hole in the ground or massive trenches using explosives or heavy machinery for years on end to
use this site. That is untenable for our rural community and the wildlife.
8. The notification process used by the SWAC and Commissioners was flawed. Using Dial to
identify and notify residents of only shared lot lines with the site did not engage the affected
community in a transparent way. The process should be stopped and new notifications made
with ample opportunity for public response.
9. The project is a so-called "100-year asset." The current Knott Landfill began in 1972 and after
50 years needs to be closed and replaced. What was the original goal for that project? Was it a
"50-year asset"? This project needs to have a much broader scope, and a forward -thinking
visionary strategy and should be thought about as a 200+ year asset at a minimum. The "fatal
flaw" criteria and other "exclusionary" criteria are not well -thought out and have limited the
ability of the SVVAC to think "outside of the box."
10. The population of the Bend MSA was about 37,000 in 1972 and in 2021 the Bend MSA is
204,000 and growing. The Bend MSA's overall population growth was 589.0% over 1969-2021
outpaced Oregon's increase of 105.9%, and topped the United States' increase of 64.9%. Who
would have guessed that and PLANNED accordingly. We rely on our elected and appointed
municipal, county, and state representatives to make these analyses.
11. The site should be far away from current and future population hubs. Transportation and
trash management technologies will change significantly over the next 50-100 years. Was that
analyzed by staff? SWAC mentioned "carbon footprints/greenhouse gas, etc" as significant.
decision -making factors to site this close to Bend. You should not be thinking about gas and
diesel vehicles, but electric and hydrogen for example: Oregon has made the sale of new gas
and diesel vehicles illegal by 2035. Freightliner, Volvo, Daimler, Cummins, Tesla and others are
selling electric tractors now. Ironically, Freightliner's electric truck is named the eCascadia.
Trash management will likewise be vastly improved with technologies to reduce, incinerate,
and create energy or other methodologies to minimize its footprint.
12. A comprehensive regional and multi -county and possibly multi -state solution should be
seriously considered. Have you had serious engagement with the proposed Lake County 8000-
acre landfill project? Why is Deschutes County, with limited resources, focused on managing a
complex 100 to 200-year project by keeping it local?
Respectfully,
James Bouziane

Ms. Bowers,
Thanks. Please include 1) timelapse photos of tree next to our house which they frighteningly swoop, dive and
trash 2) some of the debris that was knocked out yesterday including a nest 4) the way they fly almost 2 miles
from runway. I wouldn't want the perception these are the only 3 local aviators engaging in cruelty, destruction
& abuses.
I request notation of growth since last EPA numbers in 2017, which was 592.4 pounds of airborne lead. In Reid
Hihview's study they discovered the equation for reporting understated community exposure & amount.
Tens of thousands of these maneuvers over homes is not only dangerous infuriating and
frightening, it's closely correlated to organ, bone, blood, brain, mental and physical health
damage, reduced IQ and increased violence. "As the planes passed overhead the amount
of ultra -fine particles, smaller than the wavelength of visible light, increased by nearly five
times. Being indoors offered little protection; it only reduced concentrations by about 20 0.
Ultra -fine particles inside the house still were greater than concentrations measured close to
busy roads. Oddly, landing aircraft had a greater impact than those taking off. This may have
been due to the low approach heights and vortices that form under aircraft wings swirling
pollution to the
ground." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2o21/apr/o9/pollutionwatch-
aviation-shutdown-shows-can-clean-up-air
Multistate attorney general letter "These emissions endanger the lives and health of people residing, working,
or
attending school near general aviation airports" "Exposure can occur through multiple pathways— inhalation
of
ambient airborne lead, dermal adsorption, and incidental ingestion "through
contact with indoor or outdoor surfaces to which ambient lead has deposited."
And the claims it's not intentional and pilots don't see us, well I included an image for that too.
Thank you.

Deschutes County Commission

Bend, OR 97708
RE: Wildlife Inventory Update —Mule Deer Winter Range Inventory Maps
Dear Commissioners, Adair, Chang, and DeBone,
For the record, my name is Karl J. Findling. I'm a thirty -three-year Deschutes County resident,
living in Tumalo.
Today, I speak on behalf of the Oregon Chapter of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers.
The purpose of this testimony to provide comments and express concerns relating to the lack of
progress toward completion of the Goal 5 updates to the wildlife inventory maps, and urging
the three commissioners to include it in the work plan for completion of the Deschutes County
Comprehensive Plan.
This being my third such testimony, since August of 2019, when I was formally the Lands
Conservation Director for Oregon Hunters Association. Since that time, even more
development, in -migration and no formal movement toward the proposed public meetings, and
updating a 30-year-old plan, regarding Goal 5, and specifically Inventory maps that will directly
affect mule deer.
Also, since my last public testimony, July of 2022 on this subject, the process is still stalled, even
though new data exists for input into updating this plan. More on this subject can be found in
the previously submitted letters, and testimony, provided by multiple agencies, non-profit
organizations and concerned citizens at various public comment opportunities before you all1.
In a September 23rd Deschutes County Memorandum, from Senior Planner Saltzman, to the
Commissioners, she asks for direction, as how to proceed with the Goal 5 process. After
acceptance of the Technical Assistance Grant in 2020, helping to facilitate the completion of
these inventories, Mason, Bruce and Girard Inc. laid out the coursework, for processes leading
to new data sets and working groups as well as priorities and advisement as to how to proceed.
With three options available, BHA would like to see Option One chosen; the Mule Deer
Inventory process becoming the "pilot project", thus becoming the agreed upon model for the
other two. We chose mule deer for the simple reason reflected in the rapid downward trending
of population, and no notable declines in elk and or Sensitive Bird Habitat proportionally. With
ESA listings federally, we see ample protections for the Sensitive Bird Habitat inventory group,
and the mule deer inventory can effectively become the future blueprint application for
inventories, numbers two and three.
No matter the outcome here today, wildlife in Deschutes County will continue to feel the
pressures of human impacts, whether from energy development, recreation, or other
anthropomorphic causes. We will continue to create land use conflicts unless this new available
data is incorporated into this DCCP.
Thank you for considering the inclusion of the Goal 5 Wildlife Inventory updates into the
Planning Department FY 22-23 work plan.
Sincerely,
Karl J. Findling I Central Region Director, Oregon Chapter of Backconntry Hunters & Anglers
