TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of signature of Resolution 2009 -135, Ratifying Oregon State Grant Application 2009-

preservation knowledge, update the County's comprehensive plan and regulations for historic
preservation, provide financial assistance in coordination with the Deschutes County Historical
Museum to scan historical property records /files that are currently stored at the museum, and to send
HLC commissioners to training. The HLC, however, has no authority to apply for grants or to enter
into grant agreements. Thus, in order for the grant application to be binding on Deschutes County, the
Board of County Commissioners ("Board") will have to ratify the signature on and the submittal of the
application.
The $15,000 requested was awarded to the HLC. Legal Counsel has not been given a copy of the grant
agreement as of the date of the submittal of this agenda request. Once there has been Legal Counsel
review of the grant agreement and has an understanding of how the money was spent by the City of
Bend, an additional resolution will likely be drafted for the Board to ratify the grant agreement.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The grant application was for $15,000 the money will be sent to the City of Bend and Deschutes
County once the jurisdictions send an itemized list of completed projects their were outlined in the
scope of work. Until Legal Counsel has the opportunity to view the grant agreement, staff is uncerth in
as to what budget implications the grant may have. It may be that the 2009 -2010 budget will need a
supplemental budget in order to properly appropriate this money.
