Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Resolution No. 2001- 062, Declaring a Need for a Tri -County Regional Housing Authority (Tri - County Area: Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson Counties), Creating a Housing Authority, and Appointing the Initial Housing Authority Board of Commissioners. For Deschutes County: ■ Barbara Stone, Redmond, term ending July 31, 2003 ■ Craig Unger, Redmond, term ending July 31, 2004 ■ Michael Hinton, Bend, term ending July 31, 2005 Rick Isham explained that the Regional Housing Authority was created in 1977. The intent of this resolution is to add Crook County to the Regional Housing Authority; however, he wants to make sure that the addition to the Authority is done in the proper manner. He suggested that the Board approve this resolution subject to legal review of the necessary documents. Commissioner Daly asked how the appointments were made. Mr. Isham replied that they are likely the current members of the two -county authority, and that the other two counties will appoint their members. Commissioner Daly asked what Crook County hopes to gain by joining. Commissioner Luke said there are many benefits, including a shot at participating in grants, and many other programs that they don't have access to now. Mr. Isham explained that Oregon statute says every county authority can form a housing authority. Theoretically, there are 36 housing authorities in the state. The governing body of the county, or in some cases the city, have to approve the housing authority before it can be formed. Crook County never exercised their right to a housing authority. Instead of forming a separate housing authority, in this case it would be better to expand the current regional housing authority. It is not final until all three jurisdictions complete their necessary actions. Minutes of Board Meeting Page 2 of 10 Pages Wednesday, July 25, 2001 LUKE: I move approval, subject to legal review. DALY: Second. VOTE: LUKE: Yes. DALY: Acting Chair votes yes. 4. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Order No. 2001-076, Appointing Gregory P. Colvin (of Bryant Emerson & Fitch, Redmond) to Serve as Justice Court Pro Tempore when Judge Stephen Forte is Unavailable.

Before the Board was Consideration of Approval of a Fee Waiver Related to the Installation of a New Septic Tank and Drainfield at Sagewood Waldorf (Not -for -Profit) School of Bend. Roger Everett of Community Development explained that the applicant is asking for a fee waiver for the expansion of the school's system, as it is past its original design capacity. They were approved for the initial installation, but not for an expansion. They will need a site evaluation and a new installation. He said the fees could range from $1,070 to $1,754, depending upon their plans. Commissioner Luke explained that the operation of Community Development is all paid for by fees. In the past few years, the Board has only waived fees once for some people who clearly could not afford to do anything. Fees are how the department survives. Even though it's a non-profit school, it will still make money. He said he has a problem doing this. Minutes of Board Meeting Page 3 of 10 Pages Wednesday, July 25, 2001 Mr. Everett stated that the previous permits were paid for by the school. They are now expanding from 30 to 80 students. Commissioner Luke said that the Board has looked at other non -profits that are marginal, such as the Humane Society. Commissioner Daly stated that these fees pay for the people doing the work at Community Development. If the Board waives fees, the money has to be found somewhere else. The issue failed for lack of a motion. Mr. Everett said he would contact the applicant. 2. Before the Board was a Presentation of the Upcoming Bend Water Pageant Festivities. Ethel Stratton of the Sheriff's Office and four young people came before the Board. She explained that this is the first year since 1965 that the Water Pageant has had a Court. The Court was selected by counselors of the local high schools. The four student members of the Court introduced themselves and explained different aspects of the upcoming Water Pageant. The students were: ■ Joe Meredith, Mountain View High ■ Jamie Cundiff, Sisters High School ■ Kat Leatherwood, Bend High School ■ Shane Van Matre, Redmond High School Ms. Stratton explained that the swan can't be moved to Mirror Pond this year, per Bend Park & Recreation, as the new irrigation system can't accommodate the truck going over it. The swan has over $200,000 worth of work into it. She further asked that since there are no corporate sponsors for the Pageant, would the County be willing to participate in its funding. She was instructed to apply for a lottery grant. She also asked if the Commissioners would be willing to ride in the parade this year.
