TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of Board Signature of Document No. 2012-368, an Intergovernmental Agreement for the
Maintenance of Foster Road within the Beaver Special Road District
PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS DATE? NO.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
In 2005, the Road Department was approached by the Beaver Special Road District (BSRD) concerning
the paving of Foster Road by the County and subsequent establishment of Foster Road as a County
maintained road. At the time, the BSRD was responsible for the maintenance of Foster Road and it was
taking a large amount of their road funds to maintain it. The County agreed to allow the BSRD to use
the Local Improvement District (LID) process to help pay for the improvement of Foster Road from the
subdivision (Beaver Drive) north to South Century Drive. The decision to allow the BSRD to use the
LID process came after the BOCC had signed Resolution 2006-049 so a stipulation of the LID process
was that the County would not take Foster Road into its maintenance system.
The LID was approved by the residents and construction of Foster Road was completed in October of
2008. The Engineers Report attached to Order No. 2008-043, Declaring the Intent to Create the BSRD
LID stated that the County would not be taking Foster Road into its maintenance system. In 2009, the
BOCC signed Resolution 2009-118 which stated that the BOCC may establish Roads that are
functionally classified as arterials or collectors. This Resolution superseded Resolution 2006-049.
On October 28, 2009, the BSRD met with representatives of the Road Department and the BOCC to
discuss the maintenance of Foster Road since it was classified as a collector in the County TSP, and
they felt it should be taken over for maintenance by the County per Resolution 2009-118. At this
meeting, the BOCC directed the officers of the District to develop a proposal in which some
maintenance responsibilities would be retained by the District.
On October 20, 2010, the Road Department Director wrote a memorandum to the BOCC
recommending against taking over the maintenance of Foster Road. Conversations continued between
the BSRD and the Road Department to the point where the Road Department agreed to present to the
BOCC an Intergovernmental Agreement for the Maintenance of Foster Road that would allow
maintenance of Foster Road by the County based on the amount of through traffic versus the amount of
traffic generated by the BSRD.
The most current traffic counts have indicated that approximately 1/3 of traffic is through traffic with
2/3 of the traffic coming from the BSRD. The IGA states that the BSRD will be responsible for 2/3 of
any work done by the County on Foster Road and the County will pick up the remaining 1/3 of the cost
per the latest traffic counts. Counts will be performed on a three-year period and the payment
responsibilities will be adjusted accordingly. Until such time that Foster Road is fully constructed from
La Pine State Recreation to South Century Drive, the County does maintain a vested interest in the
maintenance and condition of the paved portion of Foster Road within the Road District Boundary.
This agreement was presented to the BOCC at a work session held on June 4, 2012 and it was agreed to
proceed with signature of the agreement..
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Based on current traffic counts, the County will be responsible for 1/3 and the Road District will be
responsible for 2/3 of the cost of any maintenance done during the year. The cost of adding Foster
Road into our maintenance system will be approximately $4,000/year.
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
Move approval of Board Signature on Document No. 2012 - 368, an Intergovernmental Agreement for
the Maintenance of Foster Road within the Beaver Special Road District

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
FOR MAINTENANCE OF FOSTER ROAD
This agreement is made and entered into by and between DESCHUTES COUNTY, a political
subdivision of the State of Oregon, hereinafter referred to as “County”, and BEAVER SPECIAL
ROAD DISTRICT, hereinafter referred to as “District”.
RECITALS
1. By the authority granted in ORS 190.010, a unit of local government may enter into a
written agreement with any other unit or units of local government for the performance of any or
all functions and activities that a party to the agreement, its officers or agencies, have the
authority to perform.
2. Pursuant to said authority, County and District find it beneficial to both parties for County
to provide certain road maintenance services for and on behalf of District.
3. Foster Road (as shown on attached “Exhibit A”) is a local access road under the
maintenance jurisdiction of District and County has designated Foster Road as a “future
collector” in the County’s Transportation System Plan.
4. In October 2008 pursuant to a local improvement district initiated by District Foster Road
was paved from approximately Beaver Drive north to the intersection of South Century Drive.
This occurred despite the County’s declaration that the County would not thereafter assume
maintenance responsibilities for the improved portions of Foster Road.
5. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, until such time as Foster Road is fully
constructed from La Pine State Recreation Road to South Century Drive, and fully accepted by
the County for maintenance purposes, the County maintains a vested interest in the
maintenance and condition of the paved portion of Foster Road within the District boundary.
5. The County’s designation of a future collector roadway on an alignment of an existing
local access road is an uncommon circumstance within the County’s Transportation System
Plan; therefore this IGA does not establish a precedent as requiring County to maintain local
access roads.
Now, therefore, the premises being in general as stated in the foregoing recitals, it is agreed by
and between the parties hereto as follows:
TERM OF AGREEMENT
This agreement shall take effect upon execution by the parties.
REVIEWED

TERMINATION
This agreement may be terminated by mutual written consent of the parties or by either
party upon thirty (30) days notice, in writing, delivered by certified mail or in person.
Termination of this agreement shall not affect any obligations or liabilities which accrued prior to
termination.
COUNTY OBLIGATIONS
County agrees to perform routine road maintenance work on Foster Road as outlined
below.
Work to be performed under this agreement shall consist of the following: pavement
surface maintenance (e.g. crack seal, chip seal), gravel shoulder maintenance, traffic signing,
and paint striping on Foster Road between its intersection with South Century Drive and Beaver
Drive, which is approximately 2.1 miles south of South Century Drive as shown on attached
“Exhibit A”. District shall remain responsible for snow and debris removal.
Work described above shall be performed on a schedule in accordance with established
County standards and practices as applied to county maintained roads.
County shall fund a proportionate share of the road maintenance costs based on the
percentage of “through traffic”. The parties agree that the current percentage of “through”
versus “local” traffic is one-third and two-thirds. On an approximately three-year cycle County
shall prepare traffic counts to establish the percentages of “through” versus “local” traffic.
County shall maintain records of all costs incurred while performing road maintenance
work covered under this Agreement. County cost for materials, equipment and services shall be
based on rates established by County for its internal financial management of personnel,
materials and equipment.
Upon completion of any work under this agreement, County shall invoice District for its
proportionate share off the cost.

Department Director.

of the District Board.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
5. This Agreement is expressly subject to the debt limitation of Oregon counties as set forth
in Article XI, Section 10, of the Oregon Constitution, and is contingent upon funds being
appropriated therefore. In the event sufficient funds are not appropriated for the payment of
consideration required to be paid under this Agreement, and if either party does not have funds
legally available for consideration from other sources, then either party may terminate this
Agreement in accordance with the termination provision of this Agreement.

with respect to any debts or any other liabilities of the other party.
8. To the extent permitted by the Oregon Constitution and subject to the limitations of the
Oregon Tort Claims Act, each party shall be solely responsible for any and all loss, damage,
