3. Before the Board was Consideration of First Reading by Title Only of
Ordinance No. 2014-003, Amending Code regarding Presumptive Fines for
Violations.
Laurie Craghead gave an overview of the item, which would make fines
consistent with the maximum fine for Community Development and Solid
Waste code enforcement cases. She went over a few changes to the wording to
include other sections of Code for consistency.
Commissioner Unger said the County uses fines as the last resort, but they need
to be consistent for those handling the field work. Chair Baney stated the
emphasis is on voluntary compliance, and asked if this should be included in
the Ordinance, which seems punitive as it is written.
Ms. Craghead said that this can be brought back if the Board wishes.
Commissioner Unger would like to move forward. Commissioner DeBone
wants it clear this comes after voluntary compliance.
Tom Anderson stated that nowhere in the Code language does it apply to a
dollar amount, but just refers to statute. He will ask CDD to show the fine
amounts on their website since this can change. He added that in the fiscal
implications portion of the agenda request, it states that CDD does not get the
fine. He emphasized that it goes to the Courts, so it is not a revenue stream for
the County.
Chair Baney would like a preamble on the website that explains the desire for
voluntary compliance and the amounts of the fines. Mr. Anderson said they
want to make it clear to people what the potential consequences might be for
non-compliance.
UNGER: Move first reading by title only of Ordinance No. 2014-003, with
the changes as indicated by staff.
DEBONE: Second.
VOTE: UNGER: Yes.
DEBONE: Yes.

4. Before the Board was Consideration of First Reading by Title Only of
Ordinance No. 2014-004, Amending Code regarding Fines to be Consistent
with Oregon Revised Statute.
Ms. Craghead stated that this was also brought to the Board previously, which
ties into Ordinance No. 2014-003. The maximum fine and maximum fines will
be the same, but the OAR requires a different daily fine. This will make it
consistent.
DEBONE: Move first reading by title only of Ordinance No. 2014-004.
UNGER: Second.
VOTE: DEBONE: Yes.
UNGER: Yes.
BANEY: Chair votes yes.
5. Before the Board was Consideration of Converting Business Loans to
Grants (Agee Pharmaceuticals - $14,000; Buhner Fry, Inc. dba NAVIS -
$50,000; Dent Instruments - $12,000; and G.L. Solutions - $33,333.33).
Judith Ure explained that the Business Development Forgivable Loan Program
was created to assist businesses that are relocating, expanding or starting a
business in the County.
An allotment of $2,000 per employee/job is allowed. To date, $496,000 was
contributed and 490 jobs have been created. There have been thirteen loan
applications and some have now reached their commitment dates. If the jobs
are created during the appropriate time frame, and remain in place for a year,
the loan can be forgiven.
One loan was to G.L Solutions, who created 26 out of 39 required jobs, but has
already paid back a portion of the amount based on the jobs that were not
created. The proportionate rate can be dismissed by the Board on this basi s.
Roger Lee of EDCO said that the total for the portfolio for 13 companies is
about double the jobs committed. This equates to about $500 per job. He
hopes to bring in as many companies as possible to explain how this program
has helped them come here, expand or stay.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Business Meeting Wednesday, May 14, 2014
Page 4 of 9
Robin Sharp, EDCO’s new business development manager, was introduced.
Ms. Sharp introduced Kate O’Connor, Vice President of Finance for NAVIS,
who applied for a loan in 2010 and concluded in 2013.
Mark Coppin of Bend Instruments said his business is 25 years old, and during
the past five years grew significantly. In 2009-10 they looked for a new
building and moved into the former Columbia River Bank building. This
greatly expanded their space and the loan helped them to change over the
building for manufacturing. This $12,000 ended up being a $250,000 benefit.
They created eight jobs instead of six, and most of them are technical so higher
paying. They have developed business with many other companies due to this
expansion.
Chair Baney stated that the program initially was a leap of faith. She asked if
the flexible funds were beneficial. Mr. Coppin said there was no such funding
from any other source available at the time, so it was very helpful.
Commissioner DeBone noted that the agreements were satisfied a year ago, but
it is tracked for a year afterwards. He is excited how successful this has been.
Commissioner Unger said some people question why government funding goes
into something like this, but it is simil ar to urban renewal efforts. You help a
company grow and get rewards in the future. He toured the facility and saw the
work being done and the products being created.
Chair Baney said there is a huge payback when this is successful, and even if it
had not been, the County would have been reimbursed.
Mr. Lee said that it might seem like a small amount of money to the companies,
but helps to propel them to a different level.
Kate O’Connor of NAVIS said they have seen a tremendous amount of change.
These funds helped them add 27 jobs plus more as a result. They were able to
spend these funds for recruiting new talent. They have a building on
Greenwood Avenue, but also expanded to Scalehouse Loop.
Commissioner Unger stated that this is a valuable fund. Ms. Ure noted that the
fund balance is about $70,000, with it being replenished over time.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Business Meeting Wednesday, May 14, 2014
Page 5 of 9
Chair Baney said they try to define the role of government, and EDCO is the
partner who helps make this happen. There is a strong community
commitment, and the fund was made available at a critical time in the local
economy. Commissioner DeBone added that this helps the area compete on a
national level as well.
Ms. Ure said that the Board can authorize the County Administrator to convert
the loans to grants. This should be sufficient to complete the process.
