MINUTES OF WORK SESSION
DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIO NERS
MONDAY, OCTOBER 7 , 2013
___________________________
Present were Commissioners Alan Unger, Tammy Baney and Anthony DeBone.
Also present were Tom Anderson, County Administrator; Erik Kropp, Deputy
County Administrator; Nick Lelack, Cynthia Smidt, Community Development;
Laurie Craghead, County Counsel; and citizen Liz Dickson, a ttorney for Central
Oregon Irrigation District.
Chair Unger opened the meeting at 3:35 p.m.
___________________________
1. Discussion of Upcoming Cline Falls Power Plant Appeal Hearing .
Cynthia Smidt gave an overview of the appeal, as to whether the declaring of
historic is for the entire site. C entral Oregon Irrigation District filed a Code
enforcement case against PacifiCorp for altering the property.
Goal 5, historic resources, comes into play for this site. There are different
opinions as to what is a historic resource. It was determined that some
structures were historic, but the Historic Landmarks Commission considers the
whole site of historic significance.
The predominate issue is what a historic resource. The complicating item is the
inventory note that says only the designated structure is to be considered.
The memo and decision are an interpretation of a few sentences. What is not
clear is the meaning of “site”; is it the name or the listing of components.
Assignments of error are listed in the app eal, and the appellant feels the ESEE
was improperly relied upon, ignored the plain language of the inventory, and
there is no map or description for the entire site, and feels the Historic
Landmarks Commission lacks authority. The appellant also sites due process
errors.
Minutes of Board of C ommissioners’ Work Session Monday, October 7, 2013
Page 2 of 8
Laurie Craghead stated the Bo ard has to determine what the note means and
how the ESEE fits in. The ESEE does not determine whether a site is historic or
if the property is just to be protected. It may fit into legislative history.
Nick Lelack says staff feels the entire site was to be protected, but the note puts
this into question. The Historic Landmarks Commission feels the same, as does
the property owner.
Commissioner Baney asked if the note should be plural. Commissioner
DeBone wants to know just what they are protecting and what was changed.
Mr. Lelack said Goal 5 requires significant resources be protected. The County
went through processes in the 1980’and 1990’s to adopt ordinances to decide
what might be protected. When the comprehensive plan was re -adopted, these
stayed in place. It is the County’s own call. Some have not yet been
interpreted.
Commissioner DeBone stated that it appears the switchyard is the structure in
question. Ms. Craghead said the Board is to decide what the site is , and it is up
to Code enforcement to take it from there, if there has been a violation.
Ms. Smidt said that many things have changed at the property over the years
and were not addressed at the time. A staircase was removed , and other things
were altered. Nothing was brought to the County’s attention before this latest
change. The user may have not c onsidered this part of a historic structure.
Commissioner Baney asked if utilities are regulated differently. Ms. Craghead
said they are not in this case.
Chair Unger asked who is expected to keep things at a certain condition; would
that be the owner, the tenant or others. Who protects the resource, and at what
state is the resource supposed to stay.
Ms. Smidt said the owner could volunteer to take care of the property but is not
required to do so . Ms. Craghead added they have to get a permit to alter the
property. Mr. Lelack said the owner does no t have to maintain a property, but
needs a permit for any changes. This could mean a resource could eventually
be destroyed by simple neglect.
Minutes of Board of C ommissioners’ Work Session Monday, October 7, 2013
Page 3 of 8
Chair Unger asked about environmental issues, such as PCB’s or other hazards
near waterways , or if something was unsafe. He asked how those are taken into
account. Ms. Smidt said there are some exceptions for public health and safety
concerns.
Mr. Lelack stated that owners are allowed to make changes to comply with
federal regulations.
Ms. Craghead said the applicant is attacking the 1992 regulations. They should
have applied for the proper permits.
Mr. Lelack stated some information applies to just one part of the site, and
some refer to the entire site. Defining the site is the key issue.
Commissioner DeBone asked if there are photos of the site before there were
changes. Staff will try to determine what exists. Commissioner Baney asked
for a copy of the ESEE and Ordinances.
A hearing is set for October 21. There is no time limitation on a decision.
Ms. Smidt left the meeting at this time.
2. Other Items .
Mr. Anderson stated there have been ongoing discussions about the transfer
development program for northern part of county (Cyrus).
Mr. Lelack said that a p resentation was provided by Jon Jennings of the DLCD
at the community meeting. The next work group meeting is on October 14 at
the Sisters library. It is not a public meeting, but is open to the public.
The next question, coming from Matt Cyrus and others, is whether the Board
would support any legislative changes regarding the C ounty receiving the TDO.
It has been suggested this be opened up to other counties, which would have to
be outside the valley. It has basically the same criteria as that of destination
resorts. This would take the pressure off the County.
Minutes of Board of C ommissioners’ Work Session Monday, October 7, 2013
Page 4 of 8
Commissioner Baney said that Jefferson County representatives were at the last
meeting, and indicated the TDO could come to Jefferson County. Chair Unger
noted that is where they came from in the first place.
Commissioner Baney stated that if this were in front of other economically
disadvantaged counties, they could take the heat. Maybe they should discus s
this with other entities. If they change the census data from 2009 to 2013,
Deschutes County is on the list, but there are others as well. Some were already
on the list and have not moved off the high unemployment rate.
Chair Unger said he does not want the County to have to do this on its own.
Mr. Anderson stated that Jon Jennings of DLCD should be doing this.
Commissioner Baney agreed , saying that they want the County to make it easy
for them. There should be some overnight accommodations there to add to the
vitality of the project, but this is way beyond super-siting. Maybe the County
can go on record regarding the fact that there being a lack of clarity but the
State still wanting to convene is a recipe for disaster. There is no defined
outcome of what is being sought.
Commissioner DeBone wanted to know what is being asked, and who the
respondent is . It does not seem specific. The Board is get ting opposition letters
from people who think there is more being asked that maybe there really is.
Mr. Lelack said that DLCD hired the facilitator, and the work group has no
control over the agenda. Jon Jennings is proposing meeting dates. Mr. Lelack
said they need to have something specific on the table for community meetings.
Commissioner Baney asked if it is standard for the County to help with
legislation or proposals. Mr. Lelack replied, not to the extent they are asking.
Usually advice is about a technical perspective, with Code serving as the model.
The County cannot be involved in writing legislation like this.
Commissioner Baney asked what is being risked if the County says it will be
involved only when there is something solid to react to. At this time, it is not a
good use of time. There is a lack of clarity. She would rather respond to
something specific. The County can step back until there is something solid on
the table.
Minutes of Board of C ommissioners’ Work Session Monday, October 7, 2013
Page 5 of 8
Mr. Anderson noted that the statement should go to the Representative.
Otherwise, they are going to think the County is not helping to find any middle
ground. The Board so far thinks there should be a local process. This is
supported by the c ommunity as a whole. Matt Cyrus was resistant to this, and
wants an entitlement and outright permitted use.
It is not necessarily appropriate for the Board to s ay anything more. Some
things are important to the Board, but beyond that, it is up to others. The
County has a limited role. Representatives are tasked to drafting legislative
language. The County needs to preserve its neutrality to have legal standing for
a review. Beyond that, it is a slippery slope.
Mr. Lelack said this response was summarized in a response to the legislature .
Mr. Anderson noted that they are not listening. Chair Unger stated that they
have a problem to fix and made some promises, but do not have staff to handle
the process.
Commissioner DeBone noted this is a hard spot to be in; asking for professional
opinions makes it difficult. Representative Huffman wants this to move
forward, so perhaps he should be contacted. A lot of people are providing
feedback.
Commissioner Baney said they need to know the right thing to do. She wants
to be sure the TDO ’s are something the County wants. The County was not
asked this, and should not just insert itself. It changes the need for them to go
to the legislature if the County agrees to receive the TDO ’s.
Mr. Lelack stated that this should probably be opened up to other count ies.
They would still have to adjust something in regard to economic impacts.
Perhaps AOC could get involved and make suggestions. He can respond to
Representative Huffman and Jon Jennings regarding the Board ’s feelings on
this issue. Citizens don’t know who to contact and there is a lot of confusion.
He can suggest that perhaps other counties be given this opportunity through
DLCD.
Chair Unger added they need to look at the methodology and why Deschutes
County should get these if other counties are viable. Commissioner DeBone
noted that is still asking Mr. Lelack to be involved. Mr. Kropp suggested that
DLCD pursue this instead of someone from the County.

In regard to a Goal 11 area-wide exception in south County, Mr. Lelack asked
who the applicant would be, the County or DLCD. If there is an appeal later,
this could be a problem. He asked how Klamath County fits into the picture.
Mr. Anderson noted that it would be a paralle l process, and perhaps the two
counties can do it together.
___________________________
Mark Pilliod joined the meeting at this time.
Mr. Anderson presented a letter from HousingWorks regarding the issuance of
bonds. Mr. Pilliod stated that they wish to issue bonds through the Central
Oregon Housing Authority to facilitate the remodeling of a couple of properties.
Statute authorizes them to issue bonds as an obligation of the Authority.
Commissioner DeBone said NeighborImpact is selling Healy Heights to
Hous ingWorks. Mr. Pilliod noted that there is s ome level o f board involvement
in the Hous ing Authority. Statute is clear, though, they can do this to ob tain
favorable tax treatment.
One step in the process is that the IRS requires Board of Commissioners ’
approval of the certificate that allows them to move forward . They had a
noticed public hearing, evidently with no testimony or comments received, so
now it comes to the County. It is unusual for the Housing Authority to issue
bonds, but it is permitted.
Commissioner Baney said that the loan proceeds would go to Larkspur Housing
as the borrower. This is different from HousingWorks. Mr. Pilliod exp lained
that the Authority issues the bonds and the borrower is the LLC; this will
provide revenue to service the bonds. Commissioner Baney noted that she
wants to be sure no one in Ho usingWorks is part of Larkspur. She is concerned
about transparency and private involvement with public funds.
Chair Unger asked why the County is involved in this. Mr. Pilliod said that the
c losest analogy is hospital bonding. The Hospital Authority issues the bonds
for St. Charles, and it is the same correlation for tax-exempt bonds. Deschutes
County is officially on that Board but there is no obligation placed on the
County.
Minutes of Board of C ommissioners’ Work Session Monday, October 7, 2013
Page 7 of 8
The interest is there because the County is responsible for the establishment of
the Housing Authority, but this is a separate legal entity and has statutory
authority to do a lot of thing, including issuing bonds. The County is not
responsible for servicing the bonds and neither are its officers. It is an element
in the checklist for tax treatment purposes.
Commissioner Baney stated that this involves public funds, and a new
executive director who is a private developer, Mr. Kemper. She wants to be
clear on who gets the funds. If there is an LLC and he is a principal, the County
should care. Mr. Anderson said per the letter, HousingWorks put together the
plan and arranged for the rehab work, and that should be transparen t. However,
it is not based on the certificate.
Commis sioner Baney emphasized she does not know who is getting th e money.
Mr. Pilliod noted that he spoke with bond counsel but did not ask that question.
Chair Unger added that this is confusing. He wondered about whether there
was a public hearing since the minutes have very little detail.
Mr. Pilliod said that he has no idea how the hearing was handled, and asked the
Board if they want Mr. Kemper to come to a work session to talk about this.
Commissioner DeBone stated that he is not that worried about it, but it would
be good to know who Larkspur is. Chair Unger as ked that Mr. Kemper be
called to clarify this. Mr. Anderson said he would do so.
___________________________
Commissioner DeBone noted that geothermal is being added to the alternative
energy requirements list for new construction of pub lic facilities, the 1.5%
amount. Chair Unger said they are required to do some kind of similar project
to offset the carbon foo tprint of whatever is being built. This comes up almost
every legislative sessio n. S o me people don’t want their support of solar diluted
by other forms of energy, but there should be more options. This could be
brought up at the AOC regional meeting.
