Also present were Erik Kropp, Interim County Administrator; Scot Langton, Assessor; Timm Schimke, Solid Waste; Laurie Craghead, County Counsel; David Givans, Internal Auditor; Anna Johnson, Communications; Judith Ure, Administration; and three other citizens. Chair Baney opened the meeting at 10:00 a.m. 1. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE 2. CITIZEN INPUT None was offered. 3. DEPARTMENT PRESENTATION & UPDATE: Assessor Scot Langton, County Assessor, provided an update on the activities of his department. He said that property tax statements have just been mailed, and the biggest question is, “Why did my taxes go up, while the value went down?” This year has changed somewhat due to the ongoing decline in the housing market. Some school districts retired their bonds, which also affected the amount. Countywide, over 45,000 properties had a tax bill the same or less than last year. The total for the County is about 2.5% less overall. In the past, both taxable assessed value and taxes went up. This is the first time ever this has not happened for a significant number of properties. Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Business Meeting Monday, October 24, 2011 Page 2 of 9 Pages There are three values on each account. One is real market value, as of January 1 if the property is sold by a willing seller to a willing buyer. Another is the 3% tax limitation due to Measure 50, based on the assessed value. The market value has fallen below the maximum assessed value, and this is unprecedented. Deschutes County has been impacted the most in the state. The 3% limitation still applies unless it is flat-lined. When the market rebounds, if market value is still below the maximum assessed value, the 3% does not apply until the market value and assessed value intersect. Between the complicated tax system and the volatile market, the impact for next year and the following years is unpredictable, and affects all of the taxing districts. Commissioner Unger asked about being able to pay taxes on a monthly basis. Mr. Langton said that many people have taxes included in their mortgage payment already. If the bank does not collect enough, they will possibly over- collect in the future. Commissioner DeBone asked for an overview of the work of the Assessor’s Office. Mr. Langton stated they have 34 staff, including those who deal with real property deeds and tax mapping, appraisers who evaluate the properties, and those who work through the property tax initiatives. They interact with the taxing districts as well. Mr. Langton stated part of the system is the Board of Property Tax Appeals, which is handled by the Clerk’s Office. Assessor staff will review information and answer questions from the public, and they have limited ability to make changes. Beyond that, a BOPTA appeal would be necessary. Laurie Craghead said that there were 2,630 appeals this past year. The Assessor’s Office also handles the magistrate and regular tax appeal court cases, which number in the dozens. She stated the department has a very professional staff and they are a pleasure to deal with. Mr. Langton said that there can be irregularities and inequities in property values, and this is being addressed at the legislative level. Mr. Langton has been asked to provide input and participate in this ongoing process. 4. Before the Board was Consideration of Approval of 2010-2012 Special Transportation Fund (STF) Formula and Special Transportation Operations (STO) Grant Allocations. Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Business Meeting Monday, October 24, 2011 Page 3 of 9 Pages Judith Ure gave an overview of the item. Special transportation funds involve State money that covers transportation for the elderly and disabled. There is formula money based on population; an operations fund from State general funds; and discretionary funds which generally go to capital purchases. The State’s system is biennial, and if nothing changes in 2012-13, the same award would be given, unless there are changes at the State level for the second year. STF money mostly comes from cigarette taxes and photo ID cards. It is usually stable. The STO was created in the last biennium and the funding sources are not as stable. It was thought to be a one-time only program, but the legislature came up with about 10% of the previous biennium’s funding level. The providers used this for operations in the past, but won’t have as much funding now. STF is typically used for day to day operations. The providers are the same as in previous years. The STF advisory committee tried to stretch the funding as much as possible and made its recommendations. It is hard to keep the same level of service with the reduced funding. The Deschutes County STF program had some carryover from last fiscal year, in the amount of $17,500. The committee recommends that the carryover funds be split on an annual basis and be used for emergency situations. The carryover will go away and so might the STO. In the meantime, the groups will need to determine how to economize or combine programs. The committee consists of people with a special knowledge of special transportation, representing those groups who need these services, or users of the system. They have to live in Deschutes County and Ms. Ure tries to fill positions based on a geographic basis. UNGER: Move approval of the recommendations. DEBONE: Second. VOTE: UNGER: Yes. DEBONE: Yes. BANEY: Chair votes yes. 5. Before the Board was Consideration of Board Signature of Document No. 2011-648, Contracting for Operational Services at Negus Transfer Station. Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Business Meeting Monday, October 24, 2011 Page 4 of 9 Pages Timm Schimke gave an overview of the document, which has to do with one of the transfer stations. Negus required expansion to seven days a week at one time. Deschutes Transfer provides some of the staffing under an agreement that is outside of franchise work. There were savings during the three years. Recently an RFP was issued, and Deschutes Transfer was the only bidder. The State implemented electronics recycling and this requires special handling and a fork lift. The site is now manned six days a week. This arrangement is working out well. The new agreement is for five years, which allows the vendor to recuperate some of the cost of equipment they are providing. It also includes a CPI provision. Chair Baney asked if the station was open for seven days a week again, would an adjustment be necessary. Mr. Schimke said that this type of adjustment would merit review, as would a decrease in the number of days. Commissioner Unger appreciates that this service is available to citizens in that part of the County. Mr. Schimke said that the southwest location is busy enough that they may want to consider a contract there, if they add a day or two. All four franchises have agreements with Deschutes Transfer to haul the containers from the sites. UNGER: Move approval of Document No. 2011-648. DEBONE: Second. VOTE: UNGER: Yes. DEBONE: Yes. BANEY: Chair votes yes. 6. Before the Board was a Public Hearing and Consideration of Board Signature of Order No. 2011-024, Approving the Allen Annexation into Deschutes County Rural Fire Protection District #2. Chair Baney opened the public hearing. Ms. Craghead provided information on the status of the annexation. The legal description had to be adjusted and the correct legal description is now included. All of the statutory requirements have been fulfilled. 100% of the petitioners have complied and the Fire Protection District has signed all the applicable documents. Being no further testimony offered, the hearing was closed. UNGER: Move approval of Order No. 2011-024. DEBONE: Second. Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Business Meeting Monday, October 24, 2011 Page 5 of 9 Pages VOTE: UNGER: Yes. DEBONE: Yes. BANEY: Chair votes yes. 7.

This item was delayed to the Monday, October 31, 2011 Board business meeting. Ms. Craghead stated that there were some changes and this delay will make it easier for the Board and public to know what has been adjusted. Before the Board was Consideration of Approval of the Consent Agenda. Chair Baney asked that the minutes of the work session of October 19 be deleted since that meeting was canceled. UNGER: Move approval of the Consent Agenda with that adjustment. DEBONE: Second. VOTE: UNGER: Yes. DEBONE: Yes. BANEY: Chair votes yes. Consent Agenda Items 8.

ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA Erik Kropp explained that the 911 Blue Ribbon Committee would like to come to the Board meeting to present their recommendations regarding a funding levy. There will be a staff report summarizing the recommendations, which are basically an endorsement of the E-Board recommendations. Commissioner DeB one asked about the possibility of a wilderness designation in the region. Commissioner Unger said it is his understanding there is not a lot of support for a wilderness designations at this time in Deschutes County, so perhaps they need not be so specific. Chair Baney stated that Crooked River Ranch representatives requested the Board take a stand one way or the other. This will be discussed at an upcoming work session. Regarding the proposed closure of the Sunriver post office, Commissioner DeBone said that they could perhaps discuss this on Wednesday to see if a letter of support on behalf of the community is a good idea. Commissioner Unger asked what this means to the community, and what are the options. Nationally the postal service has issues. The Commissioners asked that the local postmaster be asked to meet with them. Commissioner DeBone indicated that the Senators are in the middle of this, so their input is welcome as well. Commissioner DeB one said that the Heart of Oregon Corps asked for a letter of support for them to be the recipient of the 2013 Gala at the Riverhouse. This will be reviewed at the October 26 work session. The recipient for 2012 is already set, but Heart of Oregon Corps is looking towards the future. This event is handled through COY A. Commissioner Baney said that being on the Oregon Transportation Commission has been quite a learning experience -watching government adjust to reality. The OTC is not looking to ODOT to stop all projects, but wants to see ODOT come up with pilot programs that can be adjusted and make sense. They are tasked with finding ways to make highways safer, such as safety lanes, instead of putting a lot of work into the big projects that go on the shelf and don't get built due to a lack of funding. Some Deschutes County pilot projects may be feasible, possibly ahead of other areas and projects. Commissioner DeBone attended an AOC meeting in Bums to learn about sage grouse issues. It came down to Goal 5 inventories and how that balances against an energy siting resource. When it is birds versus energy, someone has to make a call. The ESEE process also is involved. The result of the meeting was not clear. The State Department of Fish & Wildlife, the DLCD and federal Fish & Wildlife representatives were in attendance. Chair Baney stated there has been a lot of talk about this issue and mitigation locally. Commissioner Unger would like to see the County partner with others to make good decisions for the region.

Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Agenda Monday, October 24, 2011 Page 6 of 6 Pages Date: October 19, 2011 To: Deschutes County Board of Commissioners From: Judith Ure, Management Analyst Subject: Special Transportation Fund Advisory Committee Recommendations Special Transportation Fund Formula Grant Process Each biennium, Deschutes County receives an allocation from the Oregon Department of Transportation's (ODOT) Special Transportation Fund (STF) Formula Grant Program for the purpose of supporting transportation services for the elderly and people with disabilities. During this biennium and the last, ODOT has also made additional funds available through the Special Transportation Operating (STO) Grant Program for the same purpose. These funds are distributed by the County to local service providers through a competitive grant process. Applications are reviewed by the County's STF Advisory Committee (STF AC) which then formulates a recommendation for consideration by the Board of County Commissioners. Upon Board approval, staff submits an application to ODOT as required to receive the funds and begins the process of preparing individual contracts with recipient agencies under the direction ofthe County Administrator as the delegated legal signatory for STF activities. STF formula grant funds are made available on a fiscal year basis that begins on July 1. Approved recipients of grant funds are reimbursed quarterly after submitting status reports that detail revenue and expenses, trips provided, hours and miles driven, equipment operated, and accident history for the reporting period. Amount Available Deschutes County's fiscal year 2011-12 STF formula allocation from ODOT totals $268,062, of which $2,000 can be retained by the County to offset administrative expenses. The STO allocation for the same period is $26,193, making a total of $292,255 available for grants to local service providers. During each of the past two years, the combined total of STF and STO funds available for grants was $372,803. As of July 1, 2011, $17,502 was available in the County's STF program fund in carryover from 2010-11 as a result of interest earnings and previous unclaimed grant awards. The County has historically reserved much of the carryover that occurs each year for contingency purposes. During the 2011-13 review process, however, the STFAC has recommended that 50% of that amount be allocated each year for grants to service providers to help temporarily and partially offset potential reductions in services that may result from the sharp decline in resources available this biennium. The following chart illustrates how the amount to be distributed as grants to local providers during fiscal year 2011-12 was determined: Description Amount Cumulative Total 50% ofFY 2011-13 STF Allocation from ODOT $268,062 $268,062 Program Administration Allotment -2,000 266,062 50% ofFY 2011-13 STO Allocation from ODOT +26,193 292,255 50% of Carryover from FY 2010-11 +8,750 301,005 Total Available for FY 2011-12 $301,005 Conditions may change in the second year of the biennium and, if so, the STF AC will be asked to review and revise its recommendations. However, for the purpose of completing ODOT's application process, the same amounts are projected for the 2012-13 fiscal year. Special Transportation Fund Advisory Committee Recommendations Deschutes County received five applications requesting funding in the amount of $342,546. All of this year's applicant agencies have been awarded STF and STO grants by Deschutes County in the past and have a strong record of performance within the grant guidelines. The Deschutes County STF AC convened in a public meeting to review applications for funding and to develop a recommendation for STF and STO distribution. Applicant agencies were invited to attend that meeting and were given an opportunity to further describe their services and requests for funding. The Committee's recommendation, which appears below, along with a history of past awards, is based on the amount available for distribution, written and verbal information provided by the applicants, and priorities identified in the Deschutes County Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan. The last column in the following chart outlines the resulting recommendation of the STF Committee and represents a composite ofSTF, STO, and carryover funds.
