Sgt. Nathan Garibay said the Sheriff’s Office was made aware of this grant
opportunity, involving funding that remained for Fiscal Year 2011-12 at the
State level. It has been made available for short-term projects. His department
identified a lack of infrastructure that this funding could be used to enhance.
This technology goes along with the goals of the Board and the Sheriff’s Office.
They are asking for these Office of Emergency Management funds through the
Homeland Security Program for technology upgrades, to ready laptops with
needed mapping resources. They do not have all of the quotes in yet, but the
amount is close to what is being requested.
UNGER: Move approval of application up to $20,000.
DEBONE: Second.
VOTE: UNGER: Yes.
DEBONE: Yes.
BANEY: Chair votes yes.
3. Discussion of Fair & Expo Food & Beverage Contract.
Dan Despotopulos gave an overview of the original 2001 agreement. The
vendor put in about $75,000 worth of improvements at that time. The
agreement was extended in 2005 when there was to be a new water park that
had its own vendor in mind. Premier put $100,000 back into capital
improvements then. They have been good partners overall, even though there
have been some conflicts over the years. This was the right thing to do at the
time.
The County avoided spending funds for capital improvements, and revenue has
been generated through food and beverage services.
GMO is the new term. They are working hard on the possibility of amending
the existing contract, which terminates on June 30, 2016. The key issues are
staffing, the facilities and food and beverage services. They have an
opportunity to amend the contract and all have agreed to this. As they move
forward with future plans for the Fair & Expo, adjustments are being made. A
new RFP is in the works at this time.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Work Session Wednesday, February 5, 2014
Page 3 of 10
They are looking at every possibility, including multiple caterers, the existing
contract, opening it up to alcohol service, an exclusive caterer, or maybe
handling it in house. He does not have the answers today, but hopes to fulfill
the plan and do the best for the Fair & Expo overall. The amendment to the
existing contract serves to protect the County.
The kitchen is being revamped and inventoried by the vendor and staff. By the
end of February, there will be a master list. The vendor’s replacement account
has a balance of $77,000 and they will have to replace whatever is missing or
needs replacement. This is to make sure that by the end of August, it is all
there. They were required by the agreement to put 1% of gross revenue into
this account.
The other protection to keep in mind is the FMCA event that ends in August.
They pay about $100,000 for food each time. This will go to the Fair & Expo
direct, and the vendor will receive a check for their share at that time.
The perception of food and beverage service is all over the map. They are
working hard on this. They have an opportunity for significant positive change
with their new marketing plan.
UNGER: Move approval of the amendment.
DEBONE: Second.
VOTE: UNGER: Yes.
DEBONE: Yes.
BANEY: Chair votes yes.
Tom Anderson noted that it is important to structure the RFP properly, and
flexibility and negotiations will be a part of it. Mr. Despotopulos added that
this might be one of the most important documents relating to the Fair & Expo.
The end result is important. He wants input from the Fair Board, staff and the
Board of Commissioners. It needs to be done right.
Mr. Anderson said that it is not just the RFP but the investment and poss ible
exclusivity, to maximize return and protect against possible issues; or to give
opportunities to others in some situations. He has already spoken to Wayne
Purcell and others about this. Mr. Purcell’s conference center (the Riverhouse)
is not doing as well as he had hoped. Care needs to be taken in asking others in
the same business. He has already been contacted by two of the biggest
vendors in the country.

4. Update on the Agricultural Lands Program, and Discussion of
Recommendations of the Planning Commission.
Matt Martin and Peter Gutowsky provided a handout on this issue. The
agricultural lands study was originally called non-resource lands, but they
reframed the conversation after discussions with the public and others. These
included a panel with State agencies for the broader issues, and the Planning
Commission for a more local view, and public input. There have been a lot of
questions as to why this is being pursued. Calling it non -resource lands was
premature. They are looking from a broader agricultural lands perspective.
The work plan was broad in scope to explore these kinds of issues such as the
Big Look/House Bill 2229, with opportunities to reclassify agricultural lands to
something more accurate. They want to take this out to th e general community
to learn what is working and what isn’t.
The 2011 Comp Plan has a colorful history and varying opinions. This
identifies the values of agricultural land and the secondary benefits. However,
the burden of this value is being carried by the property owners.
This will help to provide a basis to evaluate the future of agricultural lands for
the next twenty years. They want to encourage flexibility for the farming
community, and support the preservation of farmlands by ensuring there are
ways to profitability.
It is important to engage the public, and set policy criteria and code to clarify
when and how EFU can be converted to other designations. There is no easy
landing spot in the existing plan, as MUA became the default.
Mr. Gutowsky went over the goals of the plan. He said the Planning
Commission supports this refinement. It needs to be transparent, open and
strategic. They started with non-resource lands but this raised a lot of concerns.
They need to know if the Board feels it is a wise use of resources to do this at
this time. It needs to be meaningful.
Matt Martin stated that they have identified methods to reach out, with a public
forum in all areas and with stakeholder groups.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Work Session Wednesday, February 5, 2014
Page 5 of 10
Mr. Anderson said that the outline is good. He asked how they are going to
handle expectations. People might think the County has the wrong intent. It
needs to be made clear at the start that this is incremental change and why it is
being done. Many people might not even know what EFU is. It is a good
opportunity to educate.
Mr. Gutowsky stated that they would meet with the public, stakeholder groups
and other organizations, report back to the Planning Commission and ultimately
to the Board.
Mr. Lelack noted that various results are possible. It might be that the status
quo is okay. Or, it can provide a landing zone for those that don’t meet
statewide definitions. There are emerging markets and technologies that have
not yet been contemplated by the County or state. They could report the results
to the DLCD, LCDC and the legislature. If the feedback is there, they can
embark on a plan to create a non-resource lands program with clear policies and
standards.
He added that they need to embody why this is happening. There has been no
meaningful conversation regarding the agricultural lands program for over
twenty years. They need to understand what is working and what isn’t. They
need the perspective of the community to help the Planning Commission and
the Board make decisions that are clear and identifiable. They might need to
expand EFU to include things not thought of twenty years ago.
Mr. Lelack said that the DLCD wants Deschutes County to take the lead, if
there is to be an addition of non-resource lands. This is similar to the study
done on destination resorts a few years ago, learning the perception and ideas.
Mr. Gutowsky noted that they want to capture the spectrum of opinions to
compel people to get involved. Otherwise, they will question the agenda. EFU
is varied and all of it might not make sense.
Mr. Anderson said that DLCD thinks it is a blank page but there has to be
parameters and a threshold. He wants to know what DLCD might support. Mr.
Lelack said that it has to be within agricultural parameters, as it is not an
exception to Goal 3.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Work Session Wednesday, February 5, 2014
Page 6 of 10
Mr. Gutowsky stated they met with panels, the Planning Commission and staff,
and it did not register right away that they are jumping to non-resource lands.
This would mean policies and procedures for an applicant to initiate at a cost of
thousands. The County could try to create clear and objective criteria, but it
will be hard. You get into discretion and then it is more volatile. LUBA is not
sure this is the right way to go. The comprehensive plan provides the
framework.
Commissioner DeBone asked if they are always talking about parcel size.
Commissioner Unger said that SB 100 created land use, and everyone had
trouble applying it. Urbanized is different, and they tried to match what was
already there. They were left with land that didn’t fit neatly anywhere, but it
had to go into something. They are now trying to manage those decisions.
For instance, people in Brothers want more of a community. Someone else
wants to hire kids to help with farming for the educational aspects. Parents
want to stay on the farm but they can’t add more dwellings. These issues make
the farmland designation that is perceived in the valley different from here.
There should be discussion on this to explore what is really needed, and to learn
the next step.
Commissioner DeBone said it sounds like it is all on EFU. It is non -resource if
you can’t grow anything or it is not a forest. Then it boils down to lot size. Mr.
Gutowsky stated that this is conceptualizing it. They have to look at
compatibility and use. MUA lots under ten cares are prohibited. However,
what if you are surrounded by commercial or high-density housing? These are
complex issues. You have to consider transportation and density. Crook and
Jefferson counties have a non-resource lands program that is not being utilized.
Whatever Deschutes County comes up with will be cutting-edge.
The Newland decision may help define what is or isn’t agricultural lands. The
DSL demonstrated that their land was not agricultural. There needs to be a
context of how to develop policies and procedures.
Mr. Lelack added that they changed the name from non-resource lands to
agricultural lands. Jackson County call is rural land. Some people oppose this
in fear of development in rural areas. Others feel it will be too restrictive.
Maybe it won’t be EFU but an agricultural zone, with our own list of uses. The
granny flat or the separate dwelling is not a rural subdivision.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Work Session Wednesday, February 5, 2014
Page 7 of 10
Mr. Anderson said that much of this is small changes and more focus ed, like
allowing daycare in a farmhouse, or doing an agricultural -related thing like
packaging flowers. This kind of update is needed and may help with
profitability. Deschutes Junction has unique circumstances, with a bisected
area, and might be a candidate for some kinds of different applications of EFU.
There is no allowance now for these kinds of differences.
Mr. Gutowsky stated he wants to engage the public, break out by ownership,
average parcel size, irrigation, fire districts and others as a whole. There are
about 8,500 parcels that can be broken out by sub -zones. They need to
understand why and what EFU is and what you can do today, along with what
is missing. They can discuss the next steps. It is an educational piece but no
small task.
Chair Baney asked how they can be accurate. Few will be satisfied with this.
She asked if this fits into the work plan. Mr. Lelack replied that they are very
busy and a lot of big things are happening. Chair Baney noted that it might
need to be a winter project. They went through this with destination resort
remapping. They don’t want it to be applicant driven, but need to get ahead of
some of the big items or the applicants or legislature will decide it for the
County. It needs to be clear where they are going, and they need to be in charge
of their own destiny.
Mr. Gutowsky said there are some parallels with destination resorts. They
processed the unmapped lands, added some and took away a lot. Some of it
was appealed. There was robust public outreach, and the criteria were clear and
objective.
Chair Baney asked about the 30-month provision. Laurie Craghead said it
started in 2003. Mr. Gutowsky said that Measure 37 happened, then Measure
49. At some point they understood the outcome. It made sense for the County
to initiate clarity on destination resorts at that time, with deliberately established
criteria.
Ms. Craghead noted that there was more prescribed guidance from statute, non-
judicial. Mr. Gutowsky stated that they did not put in discretionary language; it
was black and white. It is then easier for LUBA to make decisions. If there is
a temptation to look at agricultural lands and designations, he is not sure they
can come up with fair and objective criteria. For instance, profitability can be
viewed in different ways.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Work Session Wednesday, February 5, 2014
Page 8 of 10
Mr. Lelack said that if they don’t deal with this, they will continue to get
applications. Do they want to create a program with what is important here
instead? The question is whether to do it now or next winter. The southern
Oregon regional pilot project is exploring this now. The original plan was
appealed and changed, then accepted in 2008. This may create a better non-
resource lands program. The County can initiate it now or wait, but there may
be more clarity with the other project in play.
Mr. Gutowsky noted that if they are successful, they will adopt a regional
definition of agriculture, and those lands would retain that zoning unless different.
They may want to work on the definition of agricultural lands and how people
can take themselves out of it. It is easier to watch someone else go through the
process. They can initiate this now and launch it later; or work on multiple
other projects. Jackson County has been in this process for two years and hopes
to have much of it done by mid-year. He is watching this closely. He is not
sure they will meet their timeline.
There will be an overview of the work plan presented at the Board’s February
24 work session. They can talk about whether it is time to engage this. They
are maxed out at this time, but can keep the Board informed if something gets
handled and frees up some time.
Commissioner Unger noted that it is a matter of being proactive or reactive.
They don’t want to wait too long. Maybe there is a way to get something done,
like having other groups do some of the early work; perhaps the Farm Bureau
or others. This would help avoid using staff resources at too high a level.
Chair Baney said that when they look at controversial issues, stakeholder
committees can be cross-purposes, but might help guide this forward. There
could be significant recommendations from that kind of group if they can come
to consensus in some fashion. They may get there if they have to talk about it,
instead of having one body do all the work.
Commissioner Unger stated that they would want to have a facilitator with a
larger group. They can then perhaps decide the questions and the important
issues. Mr. Gutowsky said this is part of the stakeholder process. He can
engage them and see what other questions come up. This might ignore the
property owners at the beginning, however. Everyone is connected in a
different way. It is a timing issue overall.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Work Session Wednesday, February 5, 2014
Page 9 of 10
Mr. Anderson said it is hard to know the best time to start this. On a seasonal
basis it won’t matter too much. Mr. Lelack stated they are maxed out with this,
but planned to do it. The key now is that they have momentum since they have
already had panel discussions. They can do the education and outreach and
bring back what they hear. Then they can look into a stakeholder committee.
They are prepared to move forward on this now.
Mr. Gutowsky added that some will say it is okay the way it is. Others will feel
that there should be adjustments to all ow for creative farming and EFU uses.
They can figure out the popular themes, and look for ways to adjust things for
the benefits. Some are bearing the cost of leaving their land open for others to
enjoy. He sees this as a range of actions to maximize the program.
Commissioner DeBone asked that they start the process. Chair Baney said they
need to do this solid out of the gate, take a leadership role and don’t let it get
away from them.
Mr. Gutowsky said he wants the Board to be informed and to give direction.
This is one of several programs that spill into the next fiscal year.
Commissioner Unger noted they have known this is a problem for years. They
wanted this to be a pilot project but couldn’t get in. They need to be engaged at
the start and move forward with more clarity.
Mr. Gutowsky said they will listen to the public and the Planning Commission
and show how the comprehensive plan captured agricultural lands as well as it
did. This provides meaning for engagement. They need to keep th e plan
update and relevant.
5. Discussion of Ordinances No. 2014-006 and 007, regarding a Terrebonne
Land Use Application – Molony.
Will Groves gave an overview of this application. The Molonys own a one-
acre property in Terrebonne that needs to change zoning. There has been no
opposition and it is supported by the Hearings Officer. It was a long process.
This is explicitly considered in the comprehensive plan and the Terrebonne
community plan.
The Board has to approve it without additional testimony, and they have to
accept the Hearings Officer's decision. However, the only wrinkle is that they
are asking for this to be approved by emergency due to the financial hardship to
employees .
Commissioner Unger stated that an emergency clause of 30 days would put this
on par with what the cities do. This allows time for an appeal if there is one.
Mr. Groves said there were only proponents and no opponents.
Ms. Craghead stated that no one has a right to appeal at this point. They can
only object to the emergency clause, not the change. The Board simply has to
justify the reasons for the emergency.
Mr. Anderson said the business, the Coffee Hut, has to go through the site plan
review as well. ODOT is satisfied with the traffic analysis. Chair Baney said
it is compelling to go ahead with the emergency clause due to the hardship.
Commissioner DeBone stated he supports the 30-day clause.
This comes before the Board on February 12.
6. Other Items.

From: Dan Despotopulos
Subject: Staff report -amendment to existing food/beverage contract I
Tom:
The Fair & Expo Center entered in an agreement on February 2, 2001 with C &D Event Management to
exclusively provide catering, concessions and alcohol for all events at the Fair & Expo Center. The annual
Fair was the exception to the exclusivity. There was also an investment of $75,000 to improve kitchen
facilities in the Event Center that were not completed during initial construction. In November 2005 the
Fair &Expo Center entered into a ten(10) year agreement with Premier Service Group (formally C & D
Event Management)(PSG) to provide the same as above, this agreement was originally scheduled to
terminate on June 30, 2016.
At the signing of the present agreement an investment of $100,000 was made to improve kitchen
facilities, build a new concession trailer and add to our inventory. Over the years we have had a very
good relationship with PSG. After several months of staff and Fair Board meetings, realizing the
food/beverage industry has seen many changes; we have come to an agreement to amend the existing
contract with PSG, with the new ending contract date of August 31, 2014.
This amendment and new ending date will allow the Fair/Expo staff, County Fair Board, County
Administration, BOCC and other interested parties to begin discussing all the various options that may Ibe available to craft an RFP over the next coming months with a target release date of June 1,2014 or
no later than July I, 2014 so a new food/beverage contract can be in place on September I, 2014. I
