Luke, Michael M Daly and Tammy Melton. Also present were Dave Kanner, County Administrator; Erik Kropp, Deputy County Administrator; Susan Ross and Teresa Rozic, Property and Facilities; Dee Van Donselaar, Community Development; and fourteen other citizens, including representatives of the media. Chair Luke opened the meeting at 10:00 a.m. 1. Before the Board was Citizen Input. None were offered. 2. Before the Board was Consideration of Chair Signature of Document No. 2008 -465, an Intergovernmental Agreement with Crook County regarding FEMA Grant Funding to Treat Wildland Fuels in Crook County. Joe Stutler said that this allows the grant from FEMA to be spent as authorized. The County is overseeing the process and Crook County will be reimbursed for expenditures. MELTON: Move approval. DALY: Second. VOTE: MELTON: Yes. DALY: Yes. LUKE: Chair votes yes. Minuets of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 3, 2008 Page 1 of 8 Pages On another note, Commissioner Luke asked about a log jam on the Deschutes near a foot bridge at Pringle Falls in the upper Deschutes River. Some people have complained about logs in the River backing up against bridges, creating a safety hazard. Mr. Stutler stated that last spring some logs were removed from around the bridges. Since then more have gathered up. There are a number of interests including the Army Corps. of Engineers, the State, Forest Service, private parties and the County, along with a few other entities that have concerns about this situation. Logs are being allowed in the River for fish and animal habitat and to keep erosion down, as this is the natural state. It is difficult to move any of the logs since a vehicle cannot get very close. They had to use winch lines previously. He added that even if all of the logs are removed, there will be more falling into the River in the future. Commissioner Melton pointed out that people do disregard the warning signs and the deaths this year were preventable. Perhaps more public education is needed, emphasizing the potential dangers. 3. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Document No. 2008- 503, a Notice of Intent to Award Contract Letter for the Sheriff Impound Building Project. Susan Ross gave a brief overview of the item, which would award the project to the low bidder, CS Construction. At this time impound articles have to be left outside. The new building will house various items used for evidence as well as impounded vehicles. She added that the bid came in under the estimated amount. MELTON: Move approval. DALY: Second. VOTE: MELTON: Yes. DALY: Yes. LUKE: Chair votes yes. 4. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Resolution No. 2008- 126, providing an Extension to Finalize Funding for an Affordable Housing Project in La Pine. Minuets of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 3, 2008 Page 2 of 8 Pages Teresa Rozic explained that the entity working on the project has asked for additional time to address closing the funding gap. The State has allowed them until the end of October to finalize this, although Deschutes County will ask the State to reserve the funding for this project until the end of the year. MELTON: Move approval. DALY: Second. VOTE: MELTON: Yes. DALY: Yes. LUKE: Chair votes yes. 5. Before the Board was a Public Hearing (continued from August 6, 13, 18 & 27), and Consideration of First Reading of Ordinance No. 2008 -025, Making Certain Determinations and Findings Relating to and Approving the Bend Municipal Airport Urban Renewal Plan. Dave Kanner said there was nothing new to add other than a few letters, calls and e -mails have been received this week. Gladys Biglor thanked the Board for its thoughtful deliberations, since there is a lot at stake. She wanted to acknowledge Commissioner Melton regarding her concerns about the master plan. Ms. Biglor has been getting calls from neighbors in the area who are starting to see her name in the newspaper. They are expressing concerns because they don't understand the process. The Airport did provide a meeting during the day for citizens to learn about the process. Many people were not able to come to the meeting, however. She asked that the Board ask the Airport to hold an evening meeting for these people to attend. John Russell, City of Bend, submitted a letter from Mayor Abernethy, responding to several issues before the Board. He read a few key points regarding funding for the Rural Fire Protection District. They are working closely with them on this issue. There is not enough time to come up with a hard and fast solution, which would then have to be approved by the Council; if it involved a user fee at the Airport, the tenants would also have to be involved. By making special accommodations for the RFPD now, it sets precedence with other districts and could negate potential benefits of the process. Minuets of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 3, 2008 Page 3 of 8 Pages Even if the current master plan was not going to be revised, the projects are consistent with the existing plan. They have been proceeding with infrastructure work to benefit Cessna and other companies. Airports can expand by right according to Oregon law. With the two aircraft manufacturers and others at the Airport, there are important jobs at stake. If the County does not adopt the renewal plan until the master plan is complete, this would take several years and could negatively impact Epic Air and Cessna, as well as other potential employers. Commissioner Melton said that this is a wonderful tool and she cannot dictate to the City how it is utilized. Some of Juniper Ridge is in a renewal district. It may not impact anyone today, but she is worried about providing essential services in the future. This has to be balanced against potential jobs. Murphy Crossing cost about $2.2 million of Sheriff's Office funding. There are a lot of moving parts and it is hard to lock it up so that the impacts are known. As this tool is used, some thought needs to be given to future impacts. She does not want to miss an opportunity but wants to proceed cautiously. Mr. Russell said that they don't take this lightly. Police and Fire have concerns, but they are trying to build infrastructure and retain jobs. Eventually this property will go back on the tax rolls. Commissioner Luke stated that the City could very well take in the area around the Airport at some point, and there would be no guarantee as to whether the County will have any say on what happens at that point. Being no further testimony offered, Chair Luke closed the hearing at this time. Chair Luke read a statement to the audience, indicating that he is not supportive of approving the renewal plan at this time. Commissioner Melton referred to the balance needed, and she acknowledged that jobs are important. Changes can happen in the future. But she is concerned about the voices that need to be heard now, including local residents who may be impacted by various projects. She does see a link between the plan and what is to happen now. There doesn't seem to be a way at this point to mitigate the impacts to the service districts. The businesses already have the benefit of an enterprise zone. She wants to see proper planning to avoid negative impacts on residents and districts. Minuets of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 3, 2008 Page 4 of 8 Pages Commissioner Daly said he is looking at it for the long term. He spoke with the Finance Director about potential impacts to the taxing districts. If the urban renewal district works like it should, it generates jobs and income, and these citizens spend money, and any negative impacts are balanced out by this. Clean manufacturing jobs are valuable and this is a win -win. Cessna is here and does not have to stay here, and should be encouraged to remain. It is not good for the community to lose that kind of employer. The other issue is the Sheriff's concern about losing funding; however, the airport projects are related to public safety as well. Improvements to Powell Butte Highway and Butler Market Road could be made with this funding in place. He also wants to encourage a partnership with the City of Bend; the two entities should work together on things that impact the region as a whole. He supports passing this ordinance. Commissioner Luke said he wants to support jobs but there would not be adequate services available for these citizens. And, if you pay someone to stay in the area, where do you stop. Commissioner Melton stated that the County gave Juniper Ridge to the City at no cost so that job creation would happen. She wants to work with the City and perhaps the City will be able to work something out with the Districts. No motion was made at this time. Before the Board was Consideration of Approval of the Consent Agenda. Commissioner Melton asked Ms. Rozic about item #6; she is concerned that political action committees may want to use County property for fundraising purposes. Ms. Rozic said that she looks at Code when these requests come in, and they also come before the Board. Mr. Kanner stated that the Oregon Supreme Court said that you can prohibit a class of activities on public property, and can have a policy regarding users. You have to allow all users of a particular type if you allow one. In regard to Historical Society appointments, Commissioner Daly explained that Doug Knight was recruited by Jon Sholes to take Mr. Sholes' place. Dee Van Donselaar stated that there are three positions that the County appoints, out of nine total. Minuets of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 3, 2008 Page 5 of 8 Pages Commissioner Melton said that this is not necessarily an open process. Ms. Van Donselaar explained that there are ties with the Museum and the Pioneer Association, which made it a bit more complicated. MELTON: Move approval of the Consent Agenda. DALY: Second.

JOHNSON Mayor Pm Tem MARK CAPELL City Councilor JIM CLINTON City Councilor BILL FRIEDMAN City Councilor PETER GRAMLICH City Councilor CHRIS TELFER City Councilor ERIC KING City Manager SONIA ANDREWS Finance Director SANDRA L BAXTER Interim Police Chief LARRY HUHN Fire Chief PATRICIA STELL City Recorder September 3, 2008 Deschutes County Commissioners 1300 Wall Street Bend, OR 97702 Dear Commissioners: At your meeting of August 27, you extended the public hearing on the proposed Bend Municipal Airport Urban Renewal Plan to your meeting of September 3. There were a couple of general concerns raised by Board members and we will attempt to address them below. In addition, we have addressed several timing issues related to plan adoption for the Board's consideration. 1. Work with the Rural Fire Protection District to reach a compromise on funding issues to support operations over time. We wholeheartedly agree to continue working with the RFPD in exploring options for long -term, sustainable funding through our contractual relationship. However, the City cannot commit to anything at this time for two reasons. The first is that more time would be needed to do additional research on options and it would require direction /concurrence from City Council (and in some instances agreement by other airport tenants). The second reason is that by making special provisions for the Rural Fire Protection District now - as part of the discussion around formation of the urban renewal district - we would be setting a precedent around making exceptions with affected property tax recipients. This would then have the potential for completely undermining the whole concept of an urban renewal district. September 3, 2008 Page 2 As the Board is certainly aware, the City is in a very difficult financial position. Our very low tax rate (about $2.80/$1,000 assessed value) makes it extremely difficult to continue fully funding emergency services in the City as well as funding economic development and job growth at the airport. I intend to initiate a discussion with the City Council about a longer term strategy for stabilizing emergency service funding. While not directly providing funds to the RFPD, they have correctly stated that our relationship is closely intertwined, and assistance to and stable funding for City emergency services is also helpful to the RFPD. To reiterate, long term stable funding for the RFPD is important to the City, but we feel it needs to be addressed separately from the current discussion. 2. Address how the upcoming Airport Master Plan is impacted by the urban renewal plan. City staff is in the process of preparing a scope of work for creation of a new airport master plan. With significant outreach to the public, to which we are deeply committed, and taking into account the required processes for adoption by the County and the Federal Aviation Administration, we expect it to be 1% - 2 years before a new master plan could be in effect. As stated by John Russell at the 8/27 public hearing, an urban renewal plan is clearly an estimate at a point in time of potential projects and their cost and timing. It is fully expected that this estimate will change over time. In fact, the draft renewal plan anticipates changes and defines a clear process for amendments in the plan itself. It would be absolutely appropriate, and expected, that the renewal plan would be amended after the master plan is complete. Please keep in mind, even if there were to be no master plan update, there is currently significant growth at the airport which is in conformance with the existing master plan. This current growth requires infrastructure, which requires funding. The City's ability to provide infrastructure, even the 5% match to an FAA grant, is severely limited at this time. As an example, we recently completed a new runway at a cost of about $10,000,000. Our match to this one project was $500,000. We also have created a line of credit, paid by the City's General Fund, of about $1,500,000 to provide infrastructure at the airport. This is in direct response to Cessna's location in Bend and its need for infrastructure. These costs are in addition to the approximately $100,000 annual transfer from the General Fund to the airport operations /debt service. To reiterate, all of these costs are tied to the existing approved master plan. Oregon State law allows airports to expand by right. We are committed to developing a master plan that will accommodate growth, but also takes into account the stakeholder input of airport users, airport neighbors, and the entire City of Bend and Deschutes County residents at large. With its two aircraft manufacturers producing clean family wage jobs, as well as the many other airport related jobs, the Bend Airport is a tremendous driver for economic stability in Deschutes County and all of Oregon. Our airport master plan will do the best job possible to blend these many interests. 3. What are the timing impacts related to plan adoption. September 3, 2008 Page 3 As noted in the hearing, we are well past the date to have the certified base being established at the January 1, 2008 assessed value. To have the certified base established at the January 1, 2009 assessed value, the plan needs to be effective by September 30, 2009. The City is asking that the plan be adopted by September 30, 2008, in order to be effective by December 31, 2008 (due to the 90 day period for a County ordinance to be effective). If the plan is effective by December 31, 2008, tax increment funds will be distributed in Fiscal Year 2009/10. If adopted after that date, funds will not be distributed until Fiscal Year 2010/11. Recognizing the hangar development by Aero Facilities that is now underway, this could be a significant loss of revenue next year. If the County were to not adopt the renewal plan until after the airport master plan is complete, a large amount of significant growth would be missed. Much if not all of Aero Facilities Phase 1 development would be complete, and not eligible for incremental growth. Additionally, the proposed expansion by Epic Air would not be eligible for incremental growth, nor would the potential expansion by Cessna: all potential growth over the next two years. This delay in adopting the plan would remove a significant amount of the incremental growth projected in the urban renewal plan /report. The delay, and resultant loss of revenue, would put the City in even a deeper hole in providing sufficient funding to maintain growth at the airport. We have a remarkable economic engine at the airport. We must provide a source to adequately support it, or we will be in danger of losing much of what we have gained in recent years. Sincerely, et6L(AA4'ils-- Bruce Abernethy Mayor, City of Bend I appreciate the City's efforts to answer our questions and concerns about the Urban Renewal District proposed for the Bend Airport. It is clear that if future expansion is to occur at the airport there is a need to expand the infrastructure. The question is how to pay for that expansion. There are several ways that can be accomplished, the city has proposed the Urban renewal district. Other options could include an LID, revenue bonds, increased user assessments, and they could always go to the city voters and make their case for a GO bonds. While looking at the hit to other government agencies is viewed by some as minor, the money lost by the county and public safety agencies is money needed by those agencies. I attended many of the public forums with Sheriff Stiles and Under Sheriff Blanton and saw the support their department had from the public. I do not believe those citizens supported permanent funding for the Sheriff's office so that money could be used by the Bend Airport. The propose airport URD is but one of the districts formed by the City of Bend. In his e -mail exchange with Sheriff Blanton, Mr. Russell reminded us that the City has already approved the Murphy Road District, which includes a lot of commercial and residential property. The have also approved the Juniper Ridge which has a zero basis value which means the county and public safety will not receive one cent of money for services. Taken all together, these Urban Renewal Districts take a lot of money from all the citizens in Deschutes County for development in Bend. The Bend City Councilors talk about development paying its own way. Evidentially that is not true for them when the City is the Developer. When the urban growth boundary expansion is completed and more property comes within the city limits, the tax base for RFP district #2 will shrink even more. Another thing that concerns me if we form this district. I can foresee the city coming to us and saying we want to do this and this and expecting us to go along with anything they want without question or objection. That is not how I personally work. There are other options for the city to provide funding for their projected infrastructure at the Bend Airport. I can not support the formation of the URD. w Q Deschutes County Board of Commissioners 1300 NW Wall St., Bend, OR 97701 -1960 (541) 388 -6570 - Fax (541) 385 -3202 - www.deschutes.org BUSINESS MEETING AGENDA DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS 10:00 A.M., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2008 Commissioners' Hearing Room - Administration Building - 1300 NW Wall St., Bend 1.
