Staff will be updating the Board and/or requesting direction on the following items:
1. St. Vincent de Paul (SVDP), a nonprofit corporation, wishes to expand its existing
services and develop a business to help support its mission. Mr. Carl Jansen, SVDP
Board Secretary, submitted a proposal to staff that describes a long-term lease of
approximately one acre of County -owned land (see attached map) immediately east of the
La Pine Senior Center to build an 8,000 square -foot resource center. This building would
house their social services (food, emergency shelter and utility assistance), business
office, and thrift store. Staff requests direction from Board on this request.
2. Update of UIC Project. Underground Injection Control (UIC) systems such as dry
wells and catch basins used to manage stormwater are regulated by the Oregon
Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). DEQ administers the federal UIC
Program under the Safe Drinking Water Act. In September 2008, the DEQ issued a
notice to owners and operators of UICs that all systems must be approved by DEQ
through Authorization by Rule or allowed under an individual Water Pollution Control
Facilities (WPCF) permit issued by DEQ.
The 2008 notice advised owners that, although the systems may be registered with DEQ,
they are not in compliance unless they have the Rule Authorization or WPCF permit.
There is no "grandfather clause." Deschutes County owns approximately 35 property
sites that may contain as many as 80 UICs. The County may be subject to fines if we do
not address these UICs and ensure compliance with DEQ rules.
3. Discussion Regarding Modification of Existing Loans. Staff would like a general
discussion on whether or not the County is supportive of modifying/rewriting existing
loans (mainly real estate loans) considering current economic conditions.
