Jim Curtis, Oregon Economic Development Department, explained that two years ago, Mr. Burton applied for eligibility for industrial development revenue bonds for Burton's Inn in Sisters. At that time the revenue bonds were appproved. Mr. Burton was unable to sell the bonds and was given an extension last year for another year. Mr. Burton is still unable to sell the bonds and before the Economic Development Department will review the application for extension they must have the following: Expression of' continuation of eligibility in the form of a resolution from the County; evidence that there is a buyer for the bonds and will be able to close within a reasonable length of time; and there has been no significant changes in the project as originally submitted to the Commission. To this date, the Economic Development Commission has not received any of the required information.

It was originally Mr. Burton and his wife and has now changed to a corporation. MEETING MINUTES - PAGE 2 52 FA,c `fid? Commissioner Prante stated that it is very important that the County is supportive of hiring the personnel need for the river study. Commissioner Tuttle asked Mr. Andersen if it would be possible to apply some grant funding toward this salary, if received? Mr. Andersen has anticipated using grant monies for this reason. Commissioner Tuttle explained that the budget has sufficient contingency to take care of the request. MOTION: VOTE: MEETING MINUTES - PAGE 3 PRANTE moved to proceed with hiring a consultant to support the River Study Task Force matters as soon as possible. TUTTLE: Second UNANIMOUS APPROVAL MOTION: TUTTLE moved to take no action on this item since there is no formal request from Mr. Burton before the Board. PRANTE: Second VOTE: UNANIMOUS APPROVAL Discussion John Andersen, Planning Director, explained that regarding River the Task Force has made some progress towards Task Force finding some sources for funding, they have done Staff work on initiating technical reports from the (action item) various state agencies, and improved coordination and consultation with agencies involved. They have discovered that there will be a significant amount of work that will be necessary at a local level, whether or not the grants come in and a consultant is hired. For that reason, the Task Force has determined that it will be appropriate to hire a planner/coordinator to assist in this process, since both the City and County Planning Departments do not have sufficient time to carry out the necessary functions. Mr. Andersen stated that the recent FERC action in regard to the Arnold Flume project emphasizes the need for additional staff assistance in this program. At this point it is estimated that approximately $24,000 will be necessary from the County for funding and approximately $8,000 from the City, which includes benefits. This will begin on July 1. Mr. Andersen explained that there is a possibility that this amount will not be sufficient depending on the type of applications received for the position. Commissioner Prante stated that it is very important that the County is supportive of hiring the personnel need for the river study.

TUTTLE: Second UNANIMOUS APPROVAL VOL 52 FAGS 7a2 Commissioner Tuttle stated that the County has received notice that FERC has issued an exemption to the Arnold Irrigation Gregory Hydro Resource Joint Venture Project where they would take out approximately double the amount of water taken out at the existing Arnold Irrigation. Commissioner Tuttle explained that from FERC's standpoint this means that the project can proceed based on obtaining State permits. Commissioner Tuttle stated that during the hearing process the counties were repeatedly assured that FERC would pay attention to local concerns in its process. On this particular process Deschutes County intervened formally with FERC. The County resolution, state-wide planning goals and any other relevant information that could be gathered was sent to FERC asking them to delay the action until the local concerns were dealt with and until the ordinance was in place and purposes of the resolution could be carried out. This project is across from Meadow Camp and up the river from the Inn of the 7th Mountain and has some definite economic effects. Commissioner Tuttle stated that this points out that FERC is not paying any attention to cumulative impacts. Senator Packwood, Senator Hatfield and Congressman Bob Smith have all written letters to FERC asking them to delay either issuing exemptions or licenses until a cumulative study has been done on the Deschutes River. Commissioner Tuttle explained that the next step in the process will be for the developers to go through the County conditional use process, which will show whether the state will acknowledge the local concerns. This points out the need to continue the commitment to getting the river study done and the standards established so that everyone has certainty that the State and developers will adhere to them. Commissioner Tuttle explained that Craig Coyner, Mayor of Bend, two or three members of the task force and himself will be going to Tacoma to make a presentation before the Power Planning Council on what the local concerns are. The Power Planning Council is about to embark on a hydro assessment for the entire region and some funding for local studies will be available.
