RE: Work session meeting with road maintenance committee
At the Board's July 6 work session, there was informal discussion of who should be
appointed to a committee to review future road maintenance options and a request that
the first meeting of this committee be a joint meeting with the Board to review the
committee's charge.
All of the individuals the Board has expressed an interest in appointing have agreed to
serve and, as far as I know, all of them will be available to meet with you at your July 27
work session. The individuals identified by the Board are as follows:
• Todd Taylor, Taylor Northwest Construction
• Steve Runner, Sunriver Resort
• Steve Hultberg, Ball Janik, LLP
• Andy High, Central Oregon Builders Association
• Bill Robie, Central Oregon Association of Realtors
• Ben Gordon, 1000 Friends of Oregon
• Clay Higuchi, citizen member of Deschutes County Budget Committee
• Jack Holt, Murray & Holt Motors, former president, Bend Chamber of Commerce
• Rick Allen, city manager, City of La Pine
• Tyler Deke, transportation planner, City of Bend (recommendation from City of
Bend)
• Conrad Ruel, citizen at large
• Chris Doty, public works director, City of Redmond
I would recommend a minutes motion to formally appoint these individuals to this
committee, along with a verbal charge to the committee that can be recorded in the
minutes. Because the committee is advisory to the Board, their meetings must be open to
the public. There are two other individuals who have expressed an interest in serving on
the committee. They can either be appointed to the committee or invited to attend and
participate in the discussions but not vote on recommendations. They are:
• Mike Williams, an executive with Hooker Creek
• Gordon Dukes, a retired Road Department supervisor
