1. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
2. CITIZEN INPUT
B. J. Soper of Redmond asked to talk about the County adopting a resolution
regarding the protection of Second Amendment rights. He said the Creator
allowed for certain rights that can't be legislated. He feels the government has
overstepped its bounds regarding the right to bear arms. He knows it is just a
statement, but no one should enforce any action on any citizen that infringes on
this inherent right.

Ed Boock of Redmond added that Salem does not govern for Oregon. He feels
it governs for Portland. They do not think about this area at all. Salem's
agenda is unconstitutional, irrational, and much more. They want only their
foot on the scale of success. Early legislative attempts at gun control were
egregious and the sponsors hid their identities. The emergency clause would
make it impossible for the voters to decide. The legislature is about to do this
again. They will impose their will on the rights of Central Oregonians. The
Commission needs to tell them that your oath is sacred and you will not allow
this kind of action. You will need to stand between them and the Constitution
without exception.
Chair DeB one proposed a discussion at a work session to figure out where the
Board might want to go with this idea.
Commissioner Baney said that the County is rural but also urban, and they
spend a lot of time in Salem to navigate what happens there. She did take an
oath to uphold the Constitution. She is also a fourth generation Oregonian. She
does not want to say that one part of the Constitution matters more than another,
and does not see the Constitution as pieces. When legislation is proposed, that
is the time to engage. A resolution to ask for a look at this won't help as much
as being actively engaged. Her job is to do right for those who she was elected
to serve. She sees this as a discussion to address a bill rather than deciding that
one part of the Constitution is more important than another.
Commissioner Unger agreed. He wants to talk about what is important and
how to deal with what happens in Salem. Attending hearings is a powerful tool.
3. Before the Board was Consideration of Approval of Document No. 2015
133, an Extended Abatement Agreement (Enterprise Zone) with
Ammunition Development Corp.
Jon Stark ofREDIIEDCO explained the item, which would extend the
abatement for one year. It has been in place since 1988. The company
involved is part of Nosier and will be moving assets here from Washington.
They have to agree that the average annual employee compensation is to be
150% above the average for the County. He and others reviewed the wages and
compensation to make sure this is in place. The City of Redmond has approved
and signed, and Sisters is next. This company provides twenty jobs and has
allowed space for the company to grow. It was a competitive process.

Commissioner Baney is pleased that Nosler chose to stay here and expand.
Commissioner Unger asked about the total compensation package, which
should be adjusted as necessary. He is interested on how this is handled. Mr.
Stark said that overtime is a small piece, and is statutorily covered. It is more
than just a wage but can include profit sharing, health benefits, retirement and
other benefits.
Chair DeBone asked about the abatement. Mr. Stark indicated that they have to
create a new job and the higher wages makes them eligible for a longer
abatement. They still pay taxes on the land.
BANEY: Move approval.
UNGER: Second.
VOTE: BANEY: Yes.
UNGER: Yes.
DEBONE: Chair votes yes.
4. Before the Board was Consideration of Chair Signature of Document No.
2015-140, the Federal Lands Access Program Match Agreement to Fund
50% of a Chip Seal Project on Cascades Lakes Highway.
Chris Doty provided an overview and there will be several other agreements
after this one. It has taken since last year to get this one completed at the
federal level.
Commissioner Unger asked about the match. Mr. Doty said that the County
chooses to overmatch to win the grant, with the commitment of equipment. It is
a competitive program and they would have had to do the work anyway, so the
grant helps a lot.
The Board spoke about road conditions for tourists and bicyclists, a nd Mr. Doty
said that they take this into account when planning the work.
UNGER: Move approval.
BANEY: Second.
VOTE: UNGER: Yes.

2015-141, the 2015 Fund Exchange Agreement Addressing ODOT’s and
Deschutes County’s Responsibilities regarding the Exchange of Surface
Transportation Program (STP) Funds for State Funds.
George Kolb provided an overview of the agreement, which allows them to
exchange federal grant funds with the State so they can use the funds for
overlay projects. This year the projects will be Huntington Road and Burgess
Road.
Commissioner Baney asked if the funding is consistent. Mr. Kolb stated that
the amount is the same as last year, around $600,000. Commissioner Unger
asked about the formula used by the federal government. Mr. Kolb said they
look at population and registered vehicles. Oregon received $15 million , with a
certain amount allocated to each County.
