CITIZEN INPUT None was offered. 3. Before the Board was Consideration of Board Signature of Document No. 2014-057, for the Supply and Delivery of Liquid Asphalt. Chris Doty and Tom Shamberger explained the item, and that chip seal is their most cost-effective maintenance process. They have an aggressive schedule for chip sealing this year, almost 118 miles, some of which is within the cities of Bend and Redmond, and 90 miles in the County. There have usually been two bidders, but one has pulled out of this area. They hope to see others to bring about more competition. The cost is still good this time around and the origination point is in Madras, which helps with the cost.

Before the Board was Consideration of Second Reading, by Title Only, and Adoption of Ordinance No. 2014-002, Adopting Deschutes County Code Chapter 8.35, Weed Control. Laurie Craghead explained that some ‘whereas’ clauses were left in the draft but should be removed. Upon authorization of the Chair, she read the Ordinance as it should be written and adopted with these changes. DEBONE: Approve second reading by title only, as read into the record by Counsel. UNGER: Second. VOTE: DEBONE: Yes. UNGER: Yes. BANEY: Chair votes yes. Chair Baney did the second reading, confirming it is as read by Counsel. DEBONE: Move adoption of Ordinance No. 2014-002. UNGER: Second. VOTE: DEBONE: Yes. UNGER: Yes. BANEY: Chair votes yes. Chair Baney observed that they did a lot of public interaction on this item, which was not required, but has been helpful. She thanked the public who provided input so the final Ordinance is clear and widely supported. Commissioner DeBone said they need to manage the weed problem and stay ahead of it. Other parts of the state and country have not, and their economy suffers for it. Ms. Craghead added that the Ordinance will be effective ninety days after adoption. Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Business Meeting Wednesday, April 9, 2014 Page 3 of 7 5. Before the Board was Consideration of Board Signature of Order No. 2014-010, Accepting Review of an Appeal of the Hearings Officer’s Decision on File #A-13-8, Filed by Loyal Land, LLC. Kevin Harrison said that the land use question is whether the conceptual master plan for Thornburgh has been initiated. This was discussed with the Board at a work session last week. The Board has agreed to review the appeal of the Hearings Officer decision and LUBA remand. The hearing would be de novo in regard to one aspect of the case. These factors are either not the fault of the applicant or have been complied with. The hearing will be noticed and a copy of this Order provided to them. Commissioner Unger asked why they are speaking of conceptual and not final master plan. Mr. Harrison said the conceptual master plan is the foundation of the other, plus any subsequent site plans. The question now is whether the conceptual master plan had expired. If it was initiated, it does not expire. He asked if the Board approved a final master plan, why this is before them. Mr. Harrison said the Board did this but it was appealed. There is a ten year limit to ask a jurisdiction to take up a decision, but the conceptual master plan is the basis. Laurie Craghead said the timeline is tolled as long as there are active appeals. UNGER: Move signature of the Order. DEBONE: Second. VOTE: UNGER: Yes. DEBONE: Yes. BANEY: Chair votes yes. __________________________ Before the Board was Consideration of Approval of the Consent Agenda. DEBONE: Move approval of the Consent Agenda. UNGER: Second. VOTE: DEBONE: Yes.

Mr. Keith stated that one item needs Board approval. Title II Funds are being requested, which would support the weed program and landowner assistance through cost-share and education. He asked for approval to apply for these funds in the amount of approximately $40,000. The RAC does not require a match, but part of the program is for landowners to cover 50% of the cost, and staff time is also part of a match. Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Business Meeting Wednesday, April 9, 2014 Page 6 of 7 There is not a limit as to what can be requested, but this is based on past projects and need. DEBONE: Move approval of the application. UNGER: Second. VOTE: DEBONE: Yes. UNGER: Yes. BANEY: Chair votes yes. __________________________ Mr. Keith provided an update of the OEM (Office of Emergency Management) program. He just spent a day with them and FEMA, and representatives of Klamath and Crook counties. They revised the scope of work last October and as a result, thirteen questions were presented by the OEM. He requested a face to face meeting to address these concerns, rather than trying to deal with everyone through e-mails and conference calls. Most of the questions have been resolved, but a few need further work. He feels they can come to resolution on these now that they are clear on what is required. He has been told that once this information is made available, it will take about a month to conclude the process. Most has to do with the environmental studies. He feels like they made some progress. Chair Baney stated that protecting the communities from catastrophic fires is the goal, and she is frustrated that it gets caught up in this kind of government bureaucracy. This involves the 2010 grant, but they went through the same types of issues on the 2007 and 2008 grants previously. Mr. Keith said that there was a list of deliverables for each question and most were finalized. The other few can be addressed soon. Mr. Anderson stated that there will be three separate environmental assessments, so projects should be able to move along as each is assessment is approved. Mr. Keith said the Crook County project is particularly large and will take more time than the others. Crook County can reduce the acreage or have it take more time. This should not hold up Deschutes or Klamath counties, and Deschutes would be done first. Mr. Keith stated that Director Stuckey sat in on most of the meeting, and Mr. Keith believes forward movement is happening. Being no other items brought before the Board, the meeting adjourned at 10:30 a.m. d r DATED this 27Jr.---Day of ~ 2014 for the Deschutes County Board of Commissioner .
