Luke, Michael M Daly and Tammy Melton.

Chair Luke opened the meeting at 10:00 a.m. 1. Before the Board was Citizen Input. None was offered. 2. Before the Board was a Presentation on a Bond Measure regarding Funding for Central Oregon Community College. Ron Paradis, Director of Info, gave a presentation on the upcoming bond measure, and the importance of supporting the college in tough economic times. People need to be able to expand their knowledge and learn new ways to make a living, and the college offers this important option. There are more applicants than room for students in several fields, including nursing, where the demand for qualified employees is good. Commissioner Luke pointed out that existing bonds expire in the near future so the tax burden will not be much different. Commissioner Daly added that this is not just a Deschutes County concern, as the entire region is involved.

Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, October 1, 2008 Page 2 of 9 Pages 5. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Order No. 2008 -080, A Decision on How To Hear A Comprehensive Plan Text and Map Amendment and Zone Change From Surface Mining to Rural Residential to Allow Redevelopment of an Extensively Mined Site. (Applicant: Daniels Group LLC; File Nos.: ZC -08 -1 And PA- 08 -1). Will Groves said that the property is located in the Terrebonne area off NW Lower Bridge Way. The applicant requested approval to change the designation as the site is no longer used for mining purposes. The Hearings Officer concluded that the proposal was not consistent with the transportation plan. An appeal was filed and LUBA review requested de novo. The land is predominately zoned mining, but about nine acres is designated agriculture. This part has to be heard by the Board. The Board can decline to hear, hear de novo or limited de novo on the mining portion. Staff recommends the entire issue be heard de novo. The agricultural portion is not currently used for that purpose. (Mr. Groves pointed out the various parts of the property.) The nine acres is part of the same ownership but was never been mined. It has not been used as farm ground and there is no irrigation. Laurie Craghead said the issue is interpretation of a code provision. Code indicates that if agricultural land is involved, the Board must hear de novo. The applicant feels that it could be heard limited to just the issues raised in the appeal. She disagrees and feels that it has to be heard de novo, not limited de novo. The non - agricultural land could be heard de novo, limited de novo or just on the record. Mr. Groves stated that approval could impact the intersection of Lower Bridge Way and the State Highway. Commissioner Melton asked whether this would fit together with the current comprehensive plan revamping. Ms. Craghead said that this particular type of change has been done before and it is unlikely that it will be affected by any changes to the comprehensive plan, other than the transportation planning rule. Commissioner Luke said that it still comes down to individual applications and it is not fair to ask people to put their plans on hold while government goes through a long planning process. Ms. Craghead said that MUA -10 and RR -10 are not greatly different except for a few uses. Commissioner Daly asked if any consideration has been given to the fact that there have been hundreds of trucks going in and out of the site over the years, and this traffic will have halted. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, October 1, 2008 Page 3 of 9 Pages Commissioner Luke feels that the agricultural land should be handled much differently than the previous mined land. Mr. Groves said that the land has to be predominately not high value farm land. The Hearings Officer said this could be combined without negative impacts to the land. Ms. Craghead said that if both are to be heard, they need to be heard together. Commissioner Melton asked if the community will be allowed to weigh in on whether the land should be MUA -10 or RR -10. Commissioner Luke said that citizens will probably testify on this issue separately anyway. Ms. Craghead stated that this is quasi judicial and ex parte contact is not allowed. The comprehensive plan update meetings are legislative, and cannot be considered so there is no reason to wait to decide when to hear this. Kevin Harrison said that in regard to the interplay of the application and the comprehensive plan amendments, the application has to be considered under the current code and rules, so nothing discussed at upcoming comp plan hearings can be considered. This property does not exist in the Terrebonne unincorporated area anyway, and will not be included in discussions with Terrebonne residents. Commissioner Melton asked if the hearing should be held in the Redmond area. Mr. Groves stated that the public interest is limited but intense. He believes that most of the people who are interested have attended the pervious hearings and would likely attend the hearing at the County. DALY: Move that this issue be heard de novo. MELTON: Second. VOTE: MELTON: Yes. DALY: Yes. LUKE: Chair votes yes. Before the Board was Consideration of Approval of the Consent Agenda. Commissioner Luke indicated that item #9 should be removed since the person is no longer employed at St. Charles Medical Center. He also asked that item #7 be removed, as he is not comfortable with this particular transfer of funds and wants this issue to be discussed further. Commissioner Daly agreed. MELTON: Move approval of the Consent Agenda, as amended. DALY: Second. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, October 1, 2008 Page 4 of 9 Pages VOTE: MELTON: Yes. DALY: Yes.

VOTE: MELTON: Yes. DALY: Yes. LUKE: Chair votes yes. Commissioner Luke stated that he is concerned about the housing market and whether Community Development may need a subsidy in the future. Mr. Kanner said that all of the funds for this year have been appropriated, and some could be used from the general fund. This could be discussed further and better defined in the spring as to where this funding should come from. The requested funds are for long -range planning. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, October 1, 2008 Page 6 of 9 Pages Current planning deals with current applications and appeals, text amendments, zone changes, conditional use permits and other land use issues that are time sensitive. The long -range planning division does not deal with applications per se; their primary work at this time is the comprehensive plan update. If this is not subsidized, this work cannot continue. Five planners are assigned to this division but all of the planners can work on either long -range or current projects. The destination resort update, the high ground water /local rule project and others are not driven by a specific time frame. Given the reductions in Community Development, it is felt that current planning is appropriately staffed. Any further cuts would have to come out of long -range planning because the funding source for this is no longer viable. The effect of eliminating two more positions would put the time frame of completion of long -range planning would go from two years to four years. Commissioner Luke pointed out that building fees cannot be used for long - range planning; this was pushed by the builder community and is part of the law. Without long -range planning you won't see development. It will take longer when things finally turn around. He asked if some of the requested transfer come out of the health benefits trust fund or the PERS fund. Both of those funds have high reserves. Mr. Kanner stated that part of the problem is that what they have contributed to those funds is known, but it is not known what they have pulled out. Commissioner Luke said they have had to pay premiums on employees that are no longer there. He is asking that they not have to pay into it for employees that were in the budget but are no longer there. He does not want to take out funds but feels they should not have to pay anything further into the funds for employees that are now gone. Mr. Kanner stated that layoffs were primarily in the building division and revenue from that division cannot be used to pay for planning. Commissioner Luke said that he feels there is a way to shift funds around to do this. Commissioner Daly suggested that this sets precedence for other departments. Commissioner Luke said that they have not had to lay off people a long time. He would rather use other reserve accounts to support shortfalls in the department and not from the General Fund. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, October 1, 2008 Page 7 of 9 Pages Commissioner Daly asked if reducing the health benefits trust fund charges to all departments across the board has been considered. Mr. Kanner replied that this should be addressed in the next budget process. It is unknown who the biggest user of the fund has been. The same is true of the PERS fund. He pointed out that the fund originated with a general funds transfer of about $700,000. Commissioner Luke said that care has to be taken before reducing charges to departments, as they will begin to count on those dollars and if there are a few bad years in a row, they may be asked to contribute more and won't be prepared for this. He stated that the reserve and claims are not even close to being parallel. Commissioner Melton said she feels it is important to support long -range planning. The other Commissioners agreed. She said the second question is how this will be funded. She would like Marty Wynne, the Finance Director, to meet with the Board and discuss possible resources for this funding. Commissioner Daly said that he does not want other departments to feel as if their work is not as important. Commissioner Luke pointed out that they have not yet faced major layoffs, although it is a possibility given the current economy. Terri Payne of Community Development will attend the 1:30 p.m. Board work session to discuss how Planning Commissioners are selected and the overall makeup of the group, and whether the current boundaries should be adjusted, given changes in population and the addition of the new city, La Pine. Being no further items to come before the Board, the meeting adjourned at 11:10 a.m. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, October 1, 2008 Page 8 of 9 Pages DATED this 1st Day of October 2008 for the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners. ATTEST: (63104 Recording Secretary e. Dennis R. Luke, C Tammy B'aney, Vi¢ Ci air Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, October 1, 2008 Page 9 of 9 Pages CENTRAL OREGON community college COCC BOND MEASURE Central Oregon Community College is seeking approval for a bond measure to build a new health careers and science building, construct regional student outreach education centers in Madras and Prineville, renovate existing space to accommodate record enrollment and upgrade college buildings to improve access for students with disabilities. The measure will be on the November ballot. The new health careers and science building will create additional lab and student learning space for programs in nursing, dental assisting and medical assisting, and expand capacity for the science programs and courses such as Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology and Chemistry. The facility would also include easily accessible space for the Volunteers in Medicine Dental Clinic and the Community Massage Clinic which serve the community and provide students with practical experience. The bond measure is for $43.75 million; cost to homeowners would be approximately 12 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. The only COCC bond currently being assessed is for the Library and that bond will be paid off this November. Therefore, if the measure passes, the tax rate is estimated to increase less than 3 cents per $1,000 of assessed value, or about $5.50 a year on a house assessed at $200,000.

Total cost for the bond is $43.75 million. Cost to homeowners would be approximately 12 cents per $1,00o of assessed value. Oregon law limiting future increases in property assessment usually results in average assessed home values in the COCC District being substantially less than the sales or market value. Also, the only COCC bond currently being assessed is for the COCC Library, which was approved by voters in 1994. That bond will be paid off in June 2009. Therefore, if this measure passes, the net increase is estimated to be less than 3 cents per $1,000 of assessed value, or about $5.50 a year on a house assessed at $200,000.
