The County was one of only 18 jurisdictions in the world to win a certificate of distinction. Erik Kropp, who attended the ICMA conference last week, showed the award to the audience. 2. Before the Board was a Presentation on Food Waste Recycling and Composting. Brad Bailey and Brian Stone with Deschutes Recycling came before the Board. Mr. Bailey stated that food waste is a significant part of the material that goes into the landfill. In June 2010 they started a pilot food collection project at St. Charles Medical Center, and it is going well. They will be able to take this mainstream to the public. Customers are recycling more vegetative waste, and Brian Stone found a system to make this project possible. Other solid waste collection and recycling companies have been instrumental in helping this project, as well as the DEQ.

Composting takes about 45 days and the temperature reaches a point where it kills any pathogens. This compost is much more fertile than the existing compost. The product will be rolled out to commercial clients first. The project is voluntary, but includes restaurants and other businesses. There is no additional cost to the client. This will take more out of the waste stream and put something back into the local soil. Food waste is about 25% of the waste generated. Mr. Stone said that the containers will be picked up at least once a week, at which time they would be sanitized as well. Mike Riley of the Environmental Center commended Deschutes Recycling to take the initiative to make this happen. A lot of requests have come in from restaurants and residents, and this is an important piece of waste disposal. This is part of the Bend 20/30 vision as well, with residents participating. Deschutes Recycling is one of the 100 Best Green businesses in the State. Mr. Riley stated that they work with the disposal companies on an ongoing basis, as part of their grant agreement with the Solid Waste Department. 3. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Document No. 2010- 666, an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Oregon Department of Transportation regarding an Extension of NW 12th Street in Terrebonne. Paul Blikstad, George Kolb, Jim Bryant of ODOT, and Steve Griffin came before the Board. Mr. Kolb gave an overview of the item, which involves the Bolken property. Mr. Bryant said that this serves two purposes: building the road to County standards and extending the road through the subject property, which will allow Mr. Bolken to finalize his plat. The work will be done next year. Mr. Griffin gave a brief description of the requirements to complete the project. Many of the private access points going on to Highway 97 will be closed, with 12th Street becoming the primary way to access the Highway. Mr. Blikstad added that an improvement agreement has to be written, and it has a one-year window. Mr. Kolb indicated that the County will not be taking on the maintenance of this local access road, so there will be a maintenance agreement stating this is the responsibility of the residents.
