Consideration of Board Signature of Order 2011-016, Authorizing County Administrator to Sign Escrow
Documents on Behalf of Deschutes County as Buyer of Property Described as Lots 7 and 8, Planerville, City of

BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
In 2009, the Board of County Commissioners agreed on the need to consolidate diverse services provided
from multiple locations into a single “North County Campus” building.
We are proposing to purchase a nearly 40,000 square foot building that sits on a 1.93-acre parcel,
commonly known as 2127 S. Hwy. 97, Redmond. The building, completed in 2008, is mostly in a shell
condition, which will allow us to customize it for our needs. It can accommodate various county
departments as well as other government agencies as tenants. Purchase price agreed upon is $1.4 million.
Seller conditioned the acceptance of our offer on closing prior to June 30, 2011. We also want to begin
making tenant improvements quickly. This Order will authorize the County Administrator to sign escrow
documents for this transaction.
Pursuant to ORS 93.808, Deschutes County must accept deeds conveying real property to the municipality.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funds and appropriation is available in Fund 140, Project Development Fund.
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
Staff recommends Board signature of Order 2011-016 and Document 2011-356.
ATTENDANCE: Susan Ross
DISTRIBUTION OF DOCUMENTS:
Copy of signed Order and original Acceptance to Susan Ross for deposit into escrow.
