MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Nick Lelack, AICP, Director
DATE: May 8, 2013
SUBJECT: Work Session – Community Development Draft Annual Report 2013
SUMMARY
The purpose of this work session agenda item is to present and discuss the draft Community
Development Department (CDD) Annual Report 2013 in preparation for a public hearing to
discuss our priority projects for next fiscal year (July 1, 2013-June 30, 2014). The public
hearing will be held on a date to be determined in early June. Staff seeks BOCC comments and
revisions, if any, on the draft Annual Report prior to the public hearing.
DISCUSSION
Each spring, CDD prepares a summary of accomplishments from the previous calendar year
and a work plan outlining the goals and priorities for the coming fiscal year. This year, the two
reports are combined into one Annual Report, and include descriptions of:
1. BOCC and Administrative staff;
2. Appointed commissions and committees, and Hearings Officers;
3. BOCC’s draft FY 2013-14 goals and objectives, which inform CDD’s goals, priorities and
performance measures;
4. CDD organizational chart, staff contact information, and office locations/availability;
5. High level budget summary and staff full-time equivalent (FTE) for FY 2010-2013; and
6. Annual (2012) Deschutes County Citizen Involvement Report. The Citizen Involvement
Report is submitted to the State’s Citizen Involvement Advisory Committee (CIAC) each
year. CIAC is appointed by the State’s Land Conservation and Development Commission
(LCDC).
In addition to the draft Annual Report, please find attached a table with carry-over projects from
the FY 12-13 Work Plan that have not yet been initiated, and projects proposed by citizens for
CDD to undertake. These projects are not planned to be initiated in the next fiscal year until or
unless resources become available, and then only under BOCC direction. Staff will update the
table periodically as new projects are proposed and during the development of future annual
work plans.
The draft Annual Report has been shared with our major customer groups, including the Central
Oregon Builders Association (COBA) and the Central Oregon Association of Realtors (COAR),
the Planning Commission, and to the general public in CDD lobbies and public meetings.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On March 28, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the draft Annual
Report’s Planning Division Work Plan. Several Deschutes River Woods (DRW) residents
provided comments in support of initiating a DRW Community Plan, and two residents provided
comments in support of amending County code to limit livestock in Crooked River Ranch.
Additional written comments were submitted; the projects are included in the table.
On April 25, the Commission unanimously recommended approval of the Annual Report’s
Planning Division Work Plan as proposed. In addition, a couple of commissioners expressed
interest in further exploring code amendments to limit livestock density on rural residential-type
properties.
BOCC COMMENTS / REVISIONS
Staff seeks direction from the BOCC on whether any changes should be made to the draft
Annual Report 2prior to the public hearing.
