Also present were Tom Anderson, Interim County Administrator; Erik Kropp, Deputy County Administrator; Peter Gutowsky and Paul Blikstad, Community Development; Laurie Craghead, County Counsel; Teresa Rozic, Property & Facilities; and three other citizens. Chair DeBone opened the meeting at 10:03 a.m. 1. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE 2. CITIZEN INPUT None was offered 3. A Presentation regarding the Honor Flight Group’s Visit to the World War II Memorial in Washington, DC. Dick Tobiason, Chair of the Bend Heroes Foundation, thanked the Board for its ongoing support. He explained there is a large group of WWII, Korean and Vietnam vets living in Central Oregon. Mr. Tobiason gave an overview of the history of military fields located in this area and the work done there. Many of these were used to train civilian pilots, and all the air fields here were initially built for that purpose. Some of the original buildings are still being used. Signage is in place on many locations and along roadways recognizing the contributions of these facilities and veterans. Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Business Meeting Monday, November 19, 2012 Page 2 of 6 He then explained Honor Flight activities. They hope to finish the program in eastern Oregon next year, which includes assisting residents of many counties that have no other support in this regard. They need to raise $20,000 for next year but have $15,000 set aside now. The groups spend four days in Washington, DC, meeting with Representatives, touring the Veterans’ Memorial, the White House, the Lincoln Memorial and other locales. Mr. Tobiason has been able to lead six trips and plans to do one more. At this point, about 40% of the veterans are in wheelchairs, so each veteran has a guardian. The Veterans’ Memorial is the most heavily visited location in Washington, DC, and the impact of this visit on the veterans, their families and friends can be profound. Mr. Tobiason presented a flag with a notation it is the Board’s flag, and it flew over the capital at one point. Each veteran involved in Honor Flight gets one of these flags. Each veteran also gets a photo album of their trip. Commissioner Unger commended Mr. Tobiason on his determination to make this and other acknowledgements happen. Commissioner Baney thanked him and the other veterans for the freedoms everyone here enjoys. Chair DeBone thanked him for his hard work and for that of the veterans who have given so much. 4. Before the Board was a Public Hearing and Consideration of First Reading, by Title Only, of Ordinance No. 2012-016, Amending Certain Sections of Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan (Destination Resort Eligibility Criteria). Peter Gutowsky read the opening statement for this hearing. In regard to conflict of interest, the Commissioners had none to declare. Mr. Gutowsky gave a brief history of the criteria amending the destination resort map. Some findings were challenged in court, but the County’s findings were affirmed. The Board adopted the amendment to the plan and zone, which was also appealed. LUBA again affirmed the County’s position. Appeals to this issue have now been exhausted. They want to fold the goals and policies into the Comprehensive Plan update at this time, and this Ordinance integrates the changes. This is now a housekeeping project to strike out one chapter and allow for consistency. Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Business Meeting Monday, November 19, 2012 Page 3 of 6 Chair DeBone opened the hearing at this time. No testimony was offered, so the hearing was closed. BANEY: Move first reading by title only of Ordinance No. 2012-016. UNGER: Second. VOTE: BANEY: Yes. UNGER: Yes. DEBONE: Chair votes yes. Chair DeBone conducted the first reading, by title only. The second reading will take place on December 3, 2012. 5. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Document No. 2012- 582, a Release of Reversionary Interest in a Habitat for Humanity Property. Teresa Rozic said that Habitat for Humanity has asked that the County’s reversionary interest be transferred from one property to another. The County donated two lots to Habitat a few years ago. One has been developed and has a family living in it. The second lot was too challenging to develop due to its size and the steepness and rockiness of the terrain. A friend of Habitat has offered to exchange lots with them, with both lots having a similar value. The other lot is flat, easier to develop, and located near other Habitat homes. This document would change the County’s interest in the Roanoke lot to the Woodland lot. Escrow will handle the paperwork and language will be included for the Woodland lot to be used for affordable housing only. Commissioner Baney stated that the Roanoke lots had been determined to be unbuildable, but Habitat worked creatively to develop one of them. Ms. Rozic has analyzed all County properties carefully; and because of her work, a family now has a home, and she is finding solutions to other issues. UNGER: Move signature of Document No. 2012-582. BANEY: Second. VOTE: UNGER: Yes. BANEY: Yes. DEBONE: Chair votes yes. Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Business Meeting Monday, November 19, 2012 Page 4 of 6 6. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Order No. 2012-038, the Possible Reopening of the Public Hearing on Applications for a Plan Amendment and Zone Change Submitted by the Oregon Department of State Lands ( File Nos. PA-11-7/ZC-11-2 ). Paul Blikstad said that the Department of State Lands’ hearing was conducted and kept open for further testimony. The State submitted what staff thought to be additional information, so all parties have been given an opportunity to respond. Laurie Craghead added that they made one addition to the whereas clauses in the Order, referencing Code in regard to reopening the hearing. This sets a specific hearing date. Mr. Blikstad stated that an expert has been asked to testify specifically on soil classifications, as this case could have wide-ranging ramifications. UNGER: Move signature of Order No. 2012-038. BANEY: Second. VOTE: UNGER: Yes. BANEY: Yes. DEBONE: Chair votes yes. __________________________ Before the Board was Consideration of Approval of the Consent Agenda.

DYes D No HONOR FLIGHT OF EASTERN OREGON (HFEO) FACT SHEET Honor Flight of Eastern Oregon (HFEO) is one of 112 regional "hubs" in 40 states participating in the national Honor Flight Network (HFN) program honoring WWII veterans by taking them to Washington, DC to visit their National WWII Memorial. Almost 100,000 WWII veterans from across our nation have participated in the HFN program launched 8 years ago. WWII veterans travel free of charge in appreciation for their WWII service and sacrifice 7 decades ago preserving our freedoms. "Guardians" assisting the veterans pay hubs for their own lodging, meals, and airline expenses. Ninety percent (90%) of the WWII veterans who survived WWII have passed away since the end ofWWII sixty seven years ago. The surviving 1.6 million WWII veterans are older than 85 with some in their late 90s. Time is of the Essence to honor the "Greatest Generation". Following dedication of the 325 mile award winning WORLD WAR II VETERANS HISTORIC HIGHWAY (US Hwy 97 and SR 126), Bend Heroes Foundation continues honoring WWII veterans through HFEO, its regional Honor Flight program honoring Oregon's WWII Veterans living east of the Cascades. HFEO is managed by the nonprofit Bend Heroes Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) non profit tax exempt organization. On July 20,2011 the Foundation formed a second Honor Flight hub serving the greater Portland area where 80 WWII veterans were then waiting to travel to Washington, DC. Veterans and Guardians who assist the veterans will visit the WWII Memorial, U.S. Capitol, Lincoln Memorial, Iwo Jima Memorial, Tomb of the Unknowns, and 6 other veterans' memorials in the Washington, DC area. Our trips are 4 days in duration: a day traveling from Portland to Washington, 2 full days (sometimes 2 V2 days) in Washington, and a day returning to Portland (PDX). On the reverse side is a photo of our group at the WWII Memorial on September 21,2012. During its first 24 months of operation with 6 visits to Washington, Bend Heroes Foundation has honored 207 WWII Veterans from both service areas. Our most recent trip was September 19-23. The next trip will be scheduled during spring, 2013.

Century Drive over Deschutes River World War II Veterans Historic Highway, all of US Hwy 97 in Oregon, SR 126 Redmond to Prineville Honor Flight of Eastern Oregon In all cases, the Board donated funds at our request to ensure these heroes of seven decades ago are not forgotten. 1 By Veterans Day 2012, we will have installed all 18 World War II Veterans Historic Highway signs along 325 miles of US Highway 97 • stretching from the Oregon/California border to the Columbia River. This is a first in our nation. Six of those signs are in Deschutes County (Camp Abbot/Sunriver, Civilian Pilot Training/Bend Airport, and Redmond Army Airfield/Roberts Field). Attached are photos of the 6 signs (2 for each WWII training site). We hope you have viewed them during your travels. Most recently each of you donated $900 to our Honor Flight of Eastern Oregon program. With 6 trips during the last two years, Bend Heroes Foundation has taken 207 WWII Veterans to Washington, DC to visit THEIR national memorial and eight other memorials and the US Capitol. Your generous $2,700 donation made it possible for three County veterans to experience a four day "trip of a lifetime" as the veterans call it. Of the 207 members of the Greatest Generation we have honored to date, 76 are from Deschutes County. Attached is a fact sheet with a photo of our Honor Flight group at the national WWII Memorial in DC. May I present a token of appreciation at a public meeting? Please accept the gratitude of the honored WWII Veterans, their families, the many donors, and Bend Heroes Foundation for helping make these honors possible.
