Memorandum of Understanding states how Solid Waste will pay the Community
Development Department for designated Code abatement services. As per the
terms of the agreement, Solid Waste will transfer a total of $200,000.00 to Fund
020 during Fiscal Year 2023-24 via monthly transfers of $16,666.66.

6. Public Hearing and consideration of Resolution No. 2023-045 adopting a
supplemental budget and increasing appropriations within the Solid Waste
and Code Abatement funds and the 2023-24 Deschutes County budget
Budget and Financial Planning Manager Dan Emerson said the Memorandum of
Understanding between Solid Waste and the Community Development
Department will provide funding for Code abatement services via an interfund
payment of $200,000. He reminded that these payments will be funded by the
additional 2% franchise fee for commercial and noncommercial haulers which
was approved by the Board on June 21 st.
Emerson said because the supplemental budget for Code Abatement exceeds
fund expenditures by more than 10%, a public hearing is required. He concluded
that this adjustment will increase appropriations in the Solid Waste fund by
$240,000 and by $200,000 in the Code Abatement fund.
The public hearing was opened at 9:30 am. There being no one who wished to speak,
the public hearing was closed at 9:31 am.

Consideration of a one-time appropriation to the Central Oregon Guardian
Assistance Program
Dan Emerson reminded that on June 26, 2023, the Central Oregon Guardian
Assistance Program (COGAP) presented to the Board regarding the need for pro
bono and low-cost guardian services to assist persons experiencing health -
related crises. At that time, the Board indicated support for COGAP's request of a
one-time appropriation of $100,000 to help establish a program to train new
guardians to facilitate better patient outcomes.
Emerson said Finance has identified General Funds as an eligible source of one-
time funding to COGAP. A draft resolution has been prepared that would reduce
contingency within the General Fund and increase Grants and Contributions by
$100,000.
Responding to Commissioner Chang regarding COGAP's vision for long-term
operating funds, Megan Horner said the organization anticipates a large demand
for guardian services from those who can't afford them and plans to offer a
sliding scale fee service for paid fiduciary services. COGAP will also seek grants
from other sources.
ADAIR: Move approval of Resolution No. 2023-046, increasing appropriations
and transferring contingency within the General Fund and the 2023-
24 Deschutes County Budget for the purpose of appropriating
$100,000 to the Central Oregon Guardian Assistance Program

funding for health care coordination (the perinatal care coordination team,
visiting nurses and other ongoing care activities) and various medical assistance -
related administrative activities. Funding will be received over a five-year period

ACTION ITEMS continued
12. Public Hearing to consider proposed amendments to Deschutes County
Code specific to prohibitions on camping on county -owned property
BOCC MEETING JULY 19, 2023 PAGE 5 OF 9
Dave Doyle, County Counsel, reviewed Sheriff Shane Nelson's proposal to amend
Deschutes County Code to address camping on public property. Doyle explained
that camping on public property could be disallowed only if the County identified
alternate sites where people could shelter. Until that is done, the County cannot
restrict persons from camping on public land.
Commissioner DeBone clarified that the proposal put forth by Sheriff Nelson differs
from the alternate proposal from County Legal. He distinguished the former
proposal from the latter, noting that both of them would establish a new chapter
11.04 titled "Public Use" in Deschutes County Code.
Commissioner Chang noted that Legal's proposed Chapter 11.04 addresses County -
owned public property and not any other publicly -owned property such as federal
land. Doyle explained that while the County cannot unilaterally impose rules on
federal land, the federal government could grant the County the authority to
conduct enforcement activity on federal property. Doyle described a precedence of
this type of authority being granted which enables the County to enforce noise
regulations at Elk Lake.
Commissioner Chang asked what alternate shelter sites would include. Doyle said
that while a great deal of guidance is not available, he expected that an alternate
outdoor shelter would have, at a minimum, potable water, sanitation, and trash
receptacles and collection.
Commissioner Chang emphasized that the County cannot enforce a camping code
without offering alternate sites for people to relocate to. He did not support
establishing a campsite that had no rules, management or structure, as this would
result in chaos and potentially dangerous situations.
Doyle agreed that the standard of care would rise substantially if the County
authorizes an alternate site for campers.
Commissioner Adair said people need rules and need to be empowered, not
enabled. She said chaos in the form of dangerous situations cannot be allowed.
The public hearing was opened at 1:28 pm.
Chair DeBone acknowledged the receipt of three emails on this subject from James
Cook (transmitting signatures and comments from numerous others), Connie
Peterson and Barbara Belzer.
BOCC MEETING JULY 19, 2023 PAGE 6 OF 9
Responding to Commissioner Chang, Chair DeBone said Sheriff Nelson would not
be in attendance for the public hearing.
• Stella Larson described the proximity of her property to the China Hat
encampments and expressed concern about roaming packs of dogs,
environmental contamination, drug use, deer poaching, trespassing, theft,
gunfire and fires. She supported the Sheriffs proposal of a buffer area
between encampments and private property.
• Helen Wehre said immediate action is needed to address encampments and
stated her support for the Sheriffs proposal to disallow camps within one
mile of private property.
• John Heylin opposed the proposed changes to Code regarding camping,
saying that over 70% of homeless people have a disability. He encouraged
compassion and said a managed campsite could be located at the
Fairgrounds.
• Liz Goodrich said displacing people will harm them. She preferred that the
County provide resources and assistance to homeless persons rather than
expend funds in legal fees.
Commissioner DeBone said the County has repeatedly sought permission from the
State to site a managed camp outside of the UGB, so far without success.
Commissioner Adair agreed that the County is working to get authority from the
Governor's office to site managed camps, and said it is understood that some
homeless persons will not go to high -barrier shelters. Commissioner Chang
concurred that flexibility from the State is needed to site and host managed camps
outside of city limits and the UGB.
Joahannah Johnson-Wernberg said when considering encampments, it is vital
to consider alternatives that address the root causes of homelessness.
Johnna Pahlisch supported the Sheriffs ban on camping within one mile of
private property, saying that China Hat used to have 150 campers but now
has more than 500. Adding that the forest is now a dangerous place and no
longer available for recreation, she said safe parking programs should be
expanded.
Commissioner DeBone agreed that the County needs leadership and help from its
federal delegation to address unauthorized camping on federal land.
Kevin Guadagno spoke to the growing number of encampments in China Hat
and said criminal activity such as sexual assaults and drug dealing is
happening along with environmental degradation of the land.
Brooks Larson expressed support for the boundary limits proposed by the
Sheriff.
BOCC MEETING JULY 19, 2023 PAGE 7 OF 9
• Alan Aronson said encampments pose huge dangers and supported the
proposal to move campers a mile away from private property.
• Ed Murrer supported the Sheriff's initiative. He encouraged the
establishment of managed camps and trespassing those who will not abide
by rules.
• Ruth Mock said the situation in China Hat is chaos and agreed it is unfair that
some people do not have to follow laws.
• Matthew Miller supported the Sheriff's proposal of a one -mile buffer from
private property and encouraged the pursuit of an agreement with the
federal government to enforce this provision on BLM land.
• Robert Fish commented that the issue of homelessness is complicated and
said the City of Bend should manage the problem it is creating by attracting
homeless persons.
• Jennifer Lingard said it is better to have a legal battle than the entire county
blowing up or burning down.
• Sarah Ladwig supported the camping ban and said it would be much better
to implement this than risk bad things happening to innocent people.
• Chris Hardy supported the Sheriff's proposal as well as people who are trying
to help the homeless population. He agreed there must be accountability.
• Linda Murrer said the highest percentage of disability in the homeless
population is drug or alcohol addiction. She supported Sheriff Nelson's
proposal as well as its enforcement on federal property.
• Allison Eilerman said compassion is helping people get their lives back on
track and live in a sanitary environment, and it is not compassionate to allow
drug use. She supported the Sheriff's proposal.
• Chuck Hemingway said the Point in Time count shows that most of the
homeless people in the county are from here. He did not support the
Sheriffs proposal.
• Sandi Baxter said she lives near China Hat and has personally been
threatened by fires and gunfire.
The public hearing was closed at 2:38 pm.
Commissioner DeBone commented on the effects from the pandemic, rising
housing costs and fentanyl. He supported having the Sheriff work with the federal
government to obtain authority to enforce to enforce camping restrictions on
federal land.
Commissioner Chang said while something must be done, the County must be
careful to take actions which are legally defensible and enforceable. He said a new
camping code is only one piece of a comprehensive approach to homelessness.
BOCC MEETING JULY 19, 2023 PAGE 8 OF 9
Commissioner Adair questioned how many homeless persons are in Deschutes
County and said a managed camp is needed. She appreciated that the Sheriffs
Office has assigned a deputy to work in China Hat full-time.
Commissioner Chang said he would be willing to support the Code language
proposed by County Legal, but not the Sheriffs proposal.
Chair DeBone noted this will come back before the Board next week for possible
action.
OTHER ITEMS:
The Commissioners discussed the Governor's response to the County's
request for land use flexibility in siting a managed camp outside of the Urban
Growth Boundary and directed the Coordinated Office on Houseless
Response and the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council to assist in
drafting answers to the Governor's questions.
ADJOURN:
Being no further items to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 2:56 pm.

MEETING DATE: July 19, 2023
SUBJECT: Agreements for vehicle leases for the use of the Sheriffs Office
RECOMMENDED MOTIONS:
1. Move to authorize Captain Paul Garrison to sign Document No. 2023-705, a lease
agreement with Bancorp for a Terradyne Gurkha MPV armored truck.
2. Move to authorize Captain Paul Garrison to sign Document No. 2023-706, a lease
agreement with Bancorp for a 2023 PistenBully 100 Tracked Rescue Vehicle.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
The Terradyne Gurkha is an armored vehicle. The armored rescue vehicles currently in use
by the Sheriffs Office are essentially on loan through the federal LESO program and are
limited by constraints relating to the use of, or repossession of such vehicles. The Gurkha
is a needed addition to the DCSO's fleet for the purposes of SWAT and/or citizen rescue
operations.
The PistenBully 100 is a large, tracked vehicle that has sufficient space to transport first
responders along with injured persons so they can be treated as they are being extracted
from remote areas. This tracked rescue vehicle can also be used as a command vehicle for
backcountry rescues such as avalanche burials or recoveries, two of which were
experienced this year.
Additionally, this tracked rescue vehicle can be used as an extraction vehicle to transport
people during months of heavy snow and also to deliver food or medical supplies to
remote areas. The vehicle can transport 911 radio technicians to and from radio tower sites
for repair and maintenance of the emergency radio system in severe winter weather. Use
of this vehicle significantly reduces liability risks because up to ten persons can be
transported in one vehicle, versus needing to have personnel ride individual snowmobiles.
This tracked rescue vehicle is to replace an existing tracked vehicle that can only carry three
people with little to no cargo. The existing tracked vehicle is extremely high maintenance
and unreliable as it requires a Sheriffs Office Automotive Technician to perform a lengthy
inspection and make adjustments after every single use. The current tracked vehicle is
unable to reach backcountry areas due to its design and is limited to shallow or groomed
snow. According to the manufacturer, this new tracked rescue vehicle has a service life of
20-25 years.
BUDGET IMPACTS:
The lease for the Terradyne Gurkha will be paid with funds received from property taxes
collected by the Countywide Tax District.
The lease for the PistenBully 100 Tracked Rescue Vehicle will be paid from a combination of
proceeds from the sales of older snowmobiles and funding from the Countywide Tax
District.

RE: Terradyne Gurkha
I am requesting approval to move forward with leasing a 2021 Terradyne Gurkha MPV armored truck.
The Sheriff s Office is wanting to lease/own two armored trucks, per our specifications, as two of the armored
vehicles the Sheriffs Office currently utilize are granted to us from the LESO program. The future of this
program is unknown so the likelihood of us having to surrender the two vehicles is highly probable.
Last year, the Sheriff s Office had the opportunity to lease a used 2020 Terradyne Gurkha through The
Bancorp. With detailed research into this vehicle, it was decided to move forward with the lease. Sheriffs
Office SWAT has used this vehicle in many risky operations over the past 5 months. The team members are
comfortable with this vehicle and are confident in its safety and handling.
We have compared the performance and features of vehicles from two manufacturers of armored trucks, the
Terradyne Gurkha MPV and Lenco Bearcat G3. There are several items about the Gurkha that satisfies sole
source justification;
The Gurkha and Bearcat are both built on a Ford F550 chassis. The Gurkha does not make chassis
modifications during assembly, which maintains the full factory powertrain warranty. The Bearcat
modifies its frame rails, exhaust, brake lines, driveshaft and fuel lines, which means it is not Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) compliant.
There have been several published articles regarding armor strength and projectile penetration of these
two armored vehicles. In a head -to -head test, the Gurkha outperformed the Bearcat resulting in zero
penetrations, which supports the Gurkha's rated arnior level of NIJ IV and a transparent armor rating of
CEN B7.
0 With the acquisition of a Gurkha, they also offer a 3-day operator and technician training.
MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT
MUNICIPAL
The Bancorp Bank ("Lessor") with offices at 24437 Russell Rd. Ste. 220 Kent WA 98032 and the undersigned
Deschutes County ("Lessee")
with offices at 63333 Highway 20 West Bend Oregon 97703 hereby agree as follows:
1. Use of Lease. Lessee may finance Lessee's acquisition of vehicles (with all accessories, individually a "vehicle" and collectively

shall have been appropriated and budgeted or are otherwise available and past due amounts and damages because of Lessee's
default hereunder. Upon such termination, Lessee shall peaceably surrender possession of the vehicle to Lessor at a location
contemplated in the Termination Settlement paragraph. Lessor shall have all legal and equitable rights and remedies to take
possession of the vehicle, Lessee agrees (a) that it will not cancel this lease if any funds are appropriated to it, or by it, for the

funds to any other functionally similar property.
7. Titling; Registration. Except as Lessor may title or register a vehicle, each vehicle will be titled and/or registered by Lessee as

claims, suits, losses, damages and expenses, including attorney's fees and court costs, incurred by or asserted against Lessor
arising out of the Vehicles or this lease. This indemnity includes strict and vicarious liability.
12. Termination Settlement. If the term of the lease exceeds twelve (12) months, at any time after twelve (12) months from delivery
of a vehicle Lessee, upon not less than ten (10) days prior notice to Lessor and provided the lease is not in default, may surrender
the vehicle to Lessor at Lessor's office address shown above or at a location mutually agreed upon by the parties for sale by
Lessor as more fully set forth above. Lessee will so surrender the vehicle at such location for such sale at lease expiration.
Following such surrender Lessor will sell the vehicle through Lessor's standard wholesale sales procedure for the highest bona fide
bid received and open at time of sale, provided that Lessor may choose alternatively to retain the vehicle. Lessor may move the
vehicle from the location where surrendered to any other location, including to Lessor's office location shown above where the
vehicle is returned to another location, Lessor deems advisable and/or clean and repair the vehicle in connection with such sale in
Lessor's sole discretion. If the amount received by Lessor on account of such sale or the highest bona fide bid received and open
at time of crediting where the vehicle is retained, as appropriate, net in either instance of a handling charge of $150.00 and
Lessor's cost of sale, including sales commissions and costs of cleaning, repairing or transporting the vehicle, is greater than the
vehicle's then Settlement Value, Lessee will have no settlement obligation to Lessor as to the vehicle and the excess will be
returned to Lessee after application to any amounts then owed by Lessee to Lessor, if less, Lessee will pay Lessor the difference.
Alternatively, if the lease is not in default, Lessee may pay the Settlement Value and retain the vehicle free of Lessor's lien.
13. Default. If (a) Lessee fails to make any payment due hereunder within 10 days of the due date, (b) Lessee breaches any of its
other obligations hereunder or under any other agreement under which Lessee has obligations to Lessor, (c) any warranty or
representation made by Lessee to Lessor is materially incorrect or misleading when made, (d) there is a cessation of Lessee's
governmental functions, or (e) insolvency proceedings are instituted by or against Lessee, this lease will be in default.
14. Remedies. If a default occurs, Lessor may (a) declare the Settlement Value due as to any or all vehicles, (b) exercise all rights of
a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code, (c) perform any obligation Lessee has failed to perform, in which case
Lessee will reimburse Lessor's related costs and expenses, and (d) exercise any other rights available to Lessor under law or
equity. Lessee will pay Lessor all costs and expenses, including repossession and court costs and attorneys' fees, Lessor
expends in enforcing its rights. All remedies are cumulative and may be exercised separately or together from time to time. No
waiver by Lessor of any default or remedy will be binding unless acknowledged by Lessor in writing.
15, Lessee's Representations. Lessee represents that this lease has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Lessee and
constitutes Lessee's valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms. Lessee also represents that this lease
does not violate Lessee's charter documents, any agreement by which Lessee is bound or any law or obligation binding on Lessee
and that Lessor's lien rights are governed by the Uniform Commercial Code.
16. Notices. Any notices relating to this lease must be in writing and will be effective when deposited in the United States Mail with
proper first class postage paid, addressed to the appropriate party at the respective address indicated above or at such other
address of which the party has provided the other notice as contemplated in this paragraph.
17. General Provisions. Any security deposit set forth in a Schedule A will be held by Lessor without interest and may be applied by
Lessor to any of Lessee's past due obligations hereunder. Any balance remaining will be returned to Lessee upon payment of all
amounts due under this lease as to the relevant vehicle and the curing of any then defaults. Lessee will provide Lessor any further
documents and information Lessor may request in connection with this lease. This lease binds the parties and their successors
and assigns and constitutes the entire agreement between the parties respecting the vehicles. Any amendment must be in writing
signed by the party to be bound. Any unenforceable provision shall be deemed deleted without affecting the remainder of the

18. Bank -Qualified Tax Designation. ❑ Initial box if this paragraph applies. Lessee certifies that Lessee and any subordinate
entities does not expect to, and will not issue more than $10,000,000 of obligations the interest on which is excludable from the
gross income of the holder thereof for federal income tax purposes during any calendar year in which a vehicle is accepted under
this lease. Lessee will designate the obligations undertaken pursuant to this lease with respect to all vehicles covered hereby as
"qualified tax exempt obligations" within the meaning of §265 (b)(3)(D) of the Code. Lessee agrees to take all actions required of
Lessee for Lessor to have, and not to take any action which would preclude Lessee from having, available such treatment,
including, without limitation, filing of an IRS Form 8038-G. If Lessor (a) loses the right to claim, does not have or does not claim
(based upon the advice of the Lessor's tax counsel) such exclusion of interest or deductibility or (b) if there is disallowed, deferred
or recaptured, in whole or in part, any such tax free interest or deductibility for any reason (unless due solely to Lessor's failure to
claim the tax free interest or deductibility on a timely basis in the absence of such advice) or (c) there is after the date hereof any
change in federal, state, local or foreign tax law or tax rates which Lessor calculates has the direct effect of reducing Lessor's net
after tax return respecting this lease (any of the foregoing constituting a "Loss"), then Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on demand, an
after tax amount which after payment of all taxes, interest and penalties required to be paid by Lessor, restores Lessor to the same
net after tax position Lessor would have enjoyed had such Loss not occurred. Upon Lessor's being notified by any tax authority of
a potential Loss, Lessor will notify Lessee promptly thereof. Lessor agrees to exercise in good faith Lessor's best efforts, as
determined in the sole discretion of Lessor's tax counsel to be reasonable for Lessor, to avoid Lessee's payment of such additional
amounts; provided that Lessor has sole discretion as to proceeding beyond the level of an auditing agent; and Lessor shall not take
any action unless Lessee shall indemnify Lessor in advance for all costs and expenses to be incurred, including accountants' and
attomeys' fees.
By signing below. Lessor and Lessee agree the terms of this lease will govern Lessor's financing of Lessee's acquisition of the vehicles.

[EXTERNAL EMAIL]
Pete,
Good morning. Attached is an excel spreadsheet listing 36,48 and 60 month rental purchase terms based on the 2020
MPV demonstrator. The MPV demonstrator is $295,800 as configured new and the price is reduced to $281,010
considering it is lightly used (currently 5,000 miles on the odometer). I spoke to our president this morning and he did
list a couple conditions if DSCO or any other agency was interested in purchasing it in the near future.
- We would want to keep the vehicle until mid July 2021 for a commitment to display at the FBINAA conference in
Orlando.
- Shipping is not included
Also attached is quote #K672A for a new MPV build. The MPV is quoted as a stripped down base model and you can
configure the vehicle from a list of options (pages 4 — 5) as you see fit. The quote is also in excel so you can click the box
next to the options you want and the total price will calculate on page 6.
Lastly, I strongly recommend obtaining an open ended lease quote from The Bancorp. They offer terms up to 84 months
which would reduce the monthly payment and their interest rate is more competitive than our program; They are in the
lending business so I am starting to refer agencies to them now that I am aware they can offer a lease program for our
vehicles.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Lucus

conditions set forth in this Agreement and such Schedule or Schedules.

Removal of Unauthorized Encampments located
on Vacant County -owned Property
I. INTRODUCTION
a. Deschutes County recognizes that people experiencing homelessness need a place to sleep,
shelter themselves, and store belongings. The County is committed to the safety and security of
all people in the County that access County -owned property that is open to the public including
people experiencing homelessness, adjacent property owners, and the general public, while
protecting vacant County -owned property from environmental threats, destruction, and unsafe and
dangerous conditions and compliance with Stale land use laws.
b. This policy outlines the process to remove an encampment located on vacant County -owned property
that is not open to the public.
PURPOSE
a. In accordance with Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 195.500 through 195.530, Deschutes County
developed this policy to:
1. Recognize the social nature of the problem of homeless individuals camping on public
property opened to the public;
2. Ensure the most humane treatment of "homeless individuals" when removing Personal
Property from unauthorized encampments on vacant County -owned property that is not open
to the public.

other items or structures have been erected, constructed, or placed including vehicles and
recreational vehicles, and that appear to be used for human habitation, including but not
limited to sleeping, preparing cooking or warming fires, storing personal belongings, and
urinating or defecating.
2. "Garbage" means items voluntarily left on vacant County -owned land for collection by a third
party, or otherwise abandoned by its apparent owner, and items not reasonably recognizable
as belonging to individuals and which have no apparent utility or are in an unsanitary condition
due to saturation or contamination from bodily fluids, whether human or animal, or other
contamination.

RE SHERIFF'S PROPOSAL OF A BUFFER/RELIEF FOR RESIDENTIAL
Dear Commissioners:
I live within about 200 feet of Public Lands, close to mile markers noting motorized vehicles prohibited.
When we purchased our home ten years ago, we checked with the Forest Service and were told this
area, China Hat, across from our home, was a dry campground, and there were limits for campers. We
thought this would be OK as our family could camp with their kids and be nearby. How wrong we were.
Our children, all grown, do not come. They consider this area to be contaminated environmentally to the
point where exposing their kids is unacceptable.
I have spoken before about the social and ecological disasters unfolding concurrently in the forest, or
what is left of the forest. Drug use, toileting, paraphernalia everywhere, deer poaching, trespass on and
through our private property, theft, gunfire, and always, always the fires, trash burning, human waste
burning, and often large and unattended. Often the fires are burning in pre dawn hours when we are
least likely to call them in.
All manner of materials are burned, and we smell the byproducts of combustion. We also breathe them.
I support the Sheriff's proposed ban, and have often requested the Forest Service to do the same. Bullets
and smoke make for'poor quality of life, and this aystopian iness is not iegai, nur safe.
Most sincerely, I urge you to take a field trip. I cannot cross China Hat, it is unsafe. Maybe you can.

Sheriff's code would upend work to aid homeless
residents
Each morning, hundreds of unhoused adults and children begin their day on the margins of our
communities. They face a daunting task to secure food for the day, sanitation, health care, and
transportation for shopping, social services, and school. In an area with scarce and expensive
housing, a tent or older RV might be the only housing they can afford, but it's not legal to park in
town. When each day is a struggle to survive, hope for a better future fades.
Dozens of volunteers and service providers help to keep hope alive. They deliver socks, meals,
and medical services, and, when available, access to scarce shelter and housing resources. They
help bridge the gap between those experiencing homelessness and our housed community.
Now the Deschutes County Sheriff is proposing to push houseless people even farther from
towns and services. On June 7, he told the county commissioners about calls for law enforcement
and fires on land where houseless people live. He proposed code changes that bar camping
within one mile of a residential property or an urban growth boundary, and limit people's stay to
two weeks.
The sheriff presents the codeas a "tool" to guide people to services and treatment. But many
view it as a tool to drive houseless people from our communities, or out of sight.
Recent sweeps and enforcement have not made the unhoused go away. Eighty percent were our
neighbors at the time they became homeless. Some will disperse further into the junipers, where
services, Sanitation, and basic life needs will be harder to access. Many will move into our cities
and show up in neighborhoods as they seek a safe place to exist.
We oppose the sheriff's proposed code because:
• Banning camping by unhoused individuals does not solve homelessness; it merely
relocates it.
The ordinance was created without input from county staff, city leaders, or service
providers. It undermines the work of community partners by scattering unhoused
individuals and making services more difficult to deliver.
• The county will draw a lawsuit and spend taxpayer dollars to defend the ordinance. A ban
on all county property likely runs afoul of the federal Martin v Boise decision. It states
that municipal ordinances that criminalize sleeping, sitting, or lying in all public spaces,
when no alternative sleeping space is available, violate the Eighth Amendment.
• To ban living on county property when there is no safe, legal, and appropriate alternative
would violate HB 3115, which went into effect on July 1. While local governments may
restrict the time, place and manner of unauthorized camping, the plans must be
"objectively reasonable" for unhoused individuals and the community. See
hops://www.orcities.or/resources/reference/homeless-solutions/homelessness-public-
There are alternatives to the sheriffs plan.In Redmond, volunteers, churches, civic
organizations, and service providers are working with businesses and city and county staff to aid
those living in homeless encampments east of Highway 97. This includes cleanups along NE 17"
Street, expanded safe parking opportunities, a proposed affordable RV park, and work to open
Oasis Village (a tiny home community) in January 2024,
We believe this cooperative work in Redmond can serve as a model for Deschutes County and its
cities. For decades, we ignored the growing homelessness in our community. It will take time for
the work we are currently doing to bear fruit.

As a long-term resident of Central Oregon who has been watching the community grow and
change since the 1908s, I know this is not a solution to the homeless issue. Making something
illegal does not make the problem go away. In many cases, it only makes it worse. The people
struggling to survive all over Deschutes County are those I grew up with who can no longer
afford to live in the only place they have ever called home. Please be apart of the solution and
help us help our friends and neighbors who have already lost so much. -Kristen Tobias
One of the biggest strengths of communities like Redmond, Sisters, and Turnalo is the strong
sense of community. We live our lives alongside our neighbors and care for our community.. It
saddens me that a decision was made to harm part of our community. Our unhoused population
is not just faceless people, they are fathers, mothers, someone's children... and to the point of this
letter, they are OUR community members. It is our duty to ensure that we treat them with the
dignity and respect that we impart upon our other neighbors. A community is only as strong as
our most marginalized members. Let's treat ours in a manner in keeping with our values. —

I'm a chiropractor who's been in Bend since 2000. When I came here, I too was houseless, trying
to make ends meet in a new town and state, while I got my license to practice chiropractic, raise
my family and make my dreams come true.
If this ordinance had been in place when I moved here, I wouldn't have stayed here.
Part of my dream was meeting and marrying the extraordinary woman who became my wife. A
woman so dedicated to her new home in Central Oregon that she FOUNDED A CHARTER
MONTESSORI school here, Desert Sky Montessori, so that my and 100s of other parents could
see their children educated in Montessori at the, elementary level. Its the only one of its kind
here, btw.`
If this ordinance had been in place :in 2000, THAT SCHOOL WOULD NOT EXIST. My, how
times have changed. 1 asap you to consider the rcamocatiohs of this ordinance, on the people it
will most certainly affect negatively. What school might they be bring to town? How many
millions in business would they have provided, had they been WELCOMED TO BEND BY
POLICE, as I was so many moons ago?? Thank you for your consideration of the long-term
impacts of this short-term REACTION. — Dr. Kevin Phillips, DC
This will literally "kick the can" down the road, and solve nothing. ;It will divert money and
resources away from actually finding solutions and housing for those trying to survive after
being priced out or excluded from shelter in Deschutes County. Please vote against this.
proposal and remain engaged with actual solutions that are starting to emerge. Thank you.

We are getting near to having places for people to go, we need to postpone this change to the
camping code. I am aware of the problems that homeless create on county land, but couldn't we
put some of the solutions where the people are already: porta potties, water, showers, fare
protection presence, mobile social services etc. --give them a chance to get out of the brush. Why
push them further into property that we can't get to. Make it easier for them to interact with
social services. Mayme Trumble

Let's address homelessness by providing for their needs, not by temporary moves that only add to
their burdens. — Cathy Edgerton
Please stop trying to push our unhoused neighbors out of our community. There is nothing
helpful about forcing people to relocate - we've seen again and again how this cuts people off
from access to amenities and services and, ultimately, makes their situation so much worse. You
have a responsibility to represent and protect everyone who lives here, especially our most
vulnerable, and pushing houseless folks to the margins does not do either of those things. —

Subject: Oppose Sheriff Nelson's Proposal
[EXTERNAL EMAIL]
Commissioners Adiar, Chang and DeBone
Even though I understand that Sheriff Nelson has changed some of the wording in his proposed code language
regarding homeless encampments, the content really has not changed enough to either accomplish something
positive or insure our tax dollars are not squandered with enforcement efforts or to defend the policy legally.
The proposal still claims authority on federal land that I do not believe the County has. It also fails to address or
comply with the legal precedents that have been set demonstrating that a local government is not allowed to
force a homeless camper to leave the local government's property unless the local government offers adequate
shelter or designates somewhere else for people to relocate to.
Thank you in advance for considering my opposition.

Re: Deschutes County Camping Codes
I was heartened to see that the rewrite of the codes did include the following statement
and that the time limit was changed to at least 14 days.
Enforcement of time restrictions may be suspended when an individual does not
have access to shelter and when an individual is engaged in case management or
behavioral health services, or when necessary or appropriate to respond to an
individual's disability.
It is hoped that everyone that is camping on public lands will be offered services for case
management if they are not already involved.
That being said, I still have concerns regarding the one mile restriction from any private
property or urban growth boundary. This will further isolate people from getting the
services they need'. In addition, it may delay the time that any fire might become visible
and reported to the fire department. Some space is required but one mile is to far.
These camping codes will help provide safety to the larger community but do not
address the problem of houselessness itself. It is important that all of our efforts turn to
providing more types of shelter that can meet the various needs of those who are
houseless. To begin with, there is a need for managed camps and more safe parking
options. A bed at a night time shelter will not be adequate for people who have an RV
or for those who do not do well in such crowded conditions. More low barrier options
need to be created.
