2. Before the Board was the Continuance of a Public Hearing and First
Reading of Ordinance No. 2001-035, Adopting a Clean Air Ordinance in
Regard to the Removal of Non -Certified Woodstoves and Woodstove
Inserts upon the Sale of Structures.
TOM DEWOLF:
I still have a problem with the idea of requiring notarization without requiring
recording of the document. It appears to have no meaningful purpose.
MIKE DALY:
I agree.
DEWOLF:
The City of Bend also had a problem with another issue. If someone sells his or
her property without the help of a Realtor, how is anyone to know?

GREGORY MCCLARREN:
The Clean Air Committee is willing to do some public education on this. There
is no way to know 100%
DEWOLF:
Is there a way to create a notification process in this ordinance?
LAURIE CRAGHEAD:
If it is a cash sale, Realtors and lenders don't have to be involved; and there
won't necessarily be an escrow officer involved, or a title insurance policy.
MIKE MAIER:
All of the information does go to the tax assessor.
DEWOLF:
But that's after the sale has been concluded, not before.
MCCLARREN:
This is going to get 95% of non -certified woodstoves moved out and disposed
of over a 10 to 20 year period. Even if there is a notification process in place,
you are going to miss a few buyers and sellers who want to do a cash sale and
not comply. For that reason, to avoid an enforcement system, we chose not to
have a monetary penalty. The City of Bend has one in their ordinance, but to
my knowledge has never enforced it. We recommend for the County that there
should not be a monetary penalty, just a good -faith agreement between buyer
and seller.
DENNIS LUKE:
Homeowners' insurance companies are going to look at dangerous stoves,
although a polluting stove may not be dangerous. There will be some picked up
that way.
DEWOLF:
Banks and insurance companies will catch it in many cases.
MCCLARREN:
The removal of non -certified woodstoves is just a piece of the overall clean air
efforts in the county.
DEWOLF:
Speaking of which, we are considering proposing some projects at the landfill,
which may eventually result in burn barrel use being eliminated within city
limits. This also contributes to air pollution problems.

MCCLARREN:
I met with Laurie (Craghead) and Realtor Terry Blackwell last week, and we
discussed the ordinance. Although we didn't agree on some issues, we all
would like to see the ordinance move forward, effective upon the sale of
property; but that the document not be required to be notarized or recorded.
LUKE: I don't see any reason to notarize a document if you aren't going to
record it.
DEWOLF:
Psychologically notarizing may raise the level of awareness; but to me it seems
to be a hassle, and an unnecessary step that may force some people to not
comply due to the additional cost of recording. We can always revisit this in a
year to see if it's still an issue.
Being no further input offered, Chair De Wolf closed the hearing.
LUKE: I move first reading of Ordinance 2001-035 by title only, removing
the reference to requiring notarization.
DALY: Second.
VOTE: LUKE: Yes.
DALY: Yes.
DEWOLF: Chair votes yes.
Chair De Wolf then completed the first reading of Ordinance No. 2001-035.
The second reading and adoption is scheduled for September 26, 2001, with
implementation to follow in ninety days from adoption.
3. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Contracts between
Deschutes County and Vendors of Experimental On-site Sewage Disposal
Systems for Installations under the La Pine National On -Site
Demonstration Project.
LUKE: Move approval.
DALY: Second.
VOTE: LUKE: Yes.
DALY: Yes.
DEWOLF: Chair votes yes.

4. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of License Agreements
between Deschutes County and Two Property Owners regarding their
Participation in the La Pine National Demonstration Project.
LUKE: Move approval.
DALY: Second.
VOTE: LUKE: Yes.
DALY: Yes.
DEWOLF: Chair votes yes.
ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA:
A. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Grant Revision No. 1
from the Oregon Health Division, Increasing Grant Funds.
Dan Peddycord explained that this is a standard periodic increase. The
$28,000 increase is to be incorporated into the Health Department's budget.
The revision identifies three specific programs: the Ryan White HIV care
services program (which is new money, and needs to be appropriated); the
Healthy Alternatives Network, which is already budgeted as an expense, and
this just adds revenue; and Babies First, which is also new revenue.
He also explained he knew this grant revision would be coming so he
budgeted for it accordingly. He said he would work with Marty Wynne to
specify where new appropriations and line allocations will go.
There was then a general discussion regarding how the line items and
appropriations would be handled.
LUKE: I move approval.
DALY: Second.
VOTE: LUKE: Yes.
DALY: Yes.
DEWOLF: Chair votes yes.

B. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of an
Intergovernmental Agreement between Deschutes County and Central
Oregon Community College for the On -Campus Operation of COCC
Student Health Services.
Dan Peddycord explained that this involves a $1,100 per month stipend, plus
billable expenses. The stipend covers about half the cost, and billable
services covers the other portion. He stated that if the billables don't cover
it, they might be able to bill through the Family Planning Expansion Act.
They will be monitoring the costs closely, as there is no flexibility in the
Department's budget. He said that Central Oregon Community College
prefers having these services available on campus, instead of having to refer
students out to other locations.
LUKE: I move approval.
DALY: Second.
VOTE: LUKE: Yes.
DALY: Yes.
DEWOLF: Chair votes yes.
C. At this time, Risk Management Supervisor Mike Viegas was thanked for, and
presented a plaque in honor of, his ten years of work for the County.
DATED this 5t" Day of September for the Deschutes County Bo rd of
Commissioners.
