COUNTY COMMISSIONER PAUL YORK
BAKER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
April 5, 2000
The Baker County Board of Commissioners met for the April 5, 2000 Commission Session. Present were Commission Chair Brian D. Cole, Commissioner Howard Britton, and Commissioner Paul York.
Approval of Minutes: Commissioner York moved to approve the March 1, 2000 minutes. Commissioner Britton seconded the motion. Minutes for the March 15, 2000 session were not available at this time. Commissioner Cole had corrections made on the March 1, 2000 minutes. He tabled the approval of the minutes until the corrected copies were found.
Announcement: Commissioner Cole announced that he had changed a couple of items in the proposed budget. The changes in the budget include:
1. The creation of a County Administrator position.
2. Changing Commissioner Cole=s position from full-time County Commission Chair to part-time County Commissioner Chair.
3. Baker City has offered Commissioner Cole the position of City/County of Baker Economic Development Director. He has accepted this position, contingent upon support from the general public and the budget board.
The changes will take effect July 1, 2000. Commissioner Cole wanted to point out that the items are a recommendation at this time. He will be seeking approval. Commissioner Cole outlined the reasons why he thinks these changes are the right thing to do.
Commissioner Cole has known since before he became County Commissioner that a County Administrator would lend a great deal of professionalism to the operations of this government.
Commissioner Cole has always seen his job as two distinct functions: Leadership and Management. He was elected to be one of many leaders in this county. Commissioner Cole takes that responsibility very seriously. He stated that leadership means the creation of the vision, the articulation of the vision and moving the people toward that vision. Leadership, specifically in this county, is needed to deal with critical issues such as the management of the reservoir levels on the Brownlee. Leadership in this county has everything to do with Fairgrounds facilities. Leadership is related to issues such as the Armory, public safety training, the county park system and a whole host of other issues. Commissioner Cole believes it is possible to have a stronger economy. Commissioner Cole said, AIf we just continue to manage the county, and we don=t lead the county, we may create better efficiencies but we will not create an environment where we can really become the premier rural living experience in the pacific northwest@. He wants to see the county as the best run local government in Oregon.
Commissioner Cole state that the creation of the County Administrator position and changing his position from full-time to part-time is not an abdication of his responsibilities or the Board of Commissioner=s responsibilities. On July 1, 2000, he will still have the same responsibility to manage this county. This is simply an acknowledgment that there=s a better way to manage the county. He would lead the activities of a County Administrator, to define those activities, and rely on the County Administrator to carry through those management responsibilities and then to hold that position accountable. Commissioner Cole stated that we still have two responsibilities. We have the responsibility to define the management direction of this county, and oversee that. The responsibility to hold that position accountable, and to take action if its not done. He defies any organizational specialist to explain how he can have twenty-two people reporting to him, and that he=s creating management efficiency in that structure. Things need to be done to improve the management efficiency never mind the effectiveness of this county. Commissioner Cole stated that at this time access to him is extremely limited. He wants to change that. This can be changed by delegating the day to day managerial responsibility to a County Administrator. Commissioner Cole would then be more accessible.
Commissioner Cole stated that he is clearing three days on his schedule. These days will be available for anyone who has concerns and would like to discuss them with him. He understands there are issues. He understands that some people are saying, AI elected you to be my full-time County Commissioner, and now you=re part-time. I entrusted you with that responsibility.@ Commissioner Cole wants to be able to explain to the people that the bottom line is: they=re being served better. Commissioner Cole has held the position of County Commissioner Chairman for fifteen months, now is the time to find a better way to manage and lead this county.
Commissioner Cole stated that the decision is not driven by budget consideration, although it makes since to look for savings. The upcoming budget reassures him that the decision is the right one. The intent is not to create a new position in the county. The intent is to elevate an existing position. Elevate the existing position of Administrative Services Director to County Administrator. The Administrative Services Director position is equivalent to a City Finance Officer. The County Administrator would be on a paradigm similar to a City Manager. It requires more managerial responsibility, and yet it can still have the administrative function, the fiscal function that is performed very well right now in administrative services. Elevating the position comes at an estimated cost of $8000.00 to county. The budget would take Commissioner Cole=s from $48,000.00 to $12,000.00. This proposal would save $36,000.00 and would cost $8,000.00. The net difference would be around $28,000. Commissioner Cole stated that the savings is not driving the decision, but a factor that supports the decision.
At the Elected Officials/Department Head meeting on April 5, 2000, Commissioner Cole asked the attendees to contact the personnel officer with their concerns and their thoughts. He would like their constructive advise regarding what they would like to see in a County Administrator. What would the position be? Commissioner Cole is hoping the Elected Officials/Department Heads take the challenge seriously. He would like them to help define the role and create the position. He believes the best way to go, is to have the position built from within. This is not an unprecedented situation. Hood River County operates this way. Wallowa County did until a few months ago.
Commissioner Cole stated that an issue of bias was brought up in a conversation the day before. He was told that Economic Development and County Commissioner would create bias. Ethics and integrity always come first for Commissioner Cole. He stated that he is biased. He is biased in favor of the county. He has a bias for the controlled growth of the county. He has a bias toward educational facilities for this county. Commissioner Cole will consult with legal council on any issues or decisions that he believes would possible constitute bias. If required by law, he would disqualify himself if there is possible bias. Commissioners Britton and York would make the decisions.
Commissioner Cole stated that this decision comes with more risk than any decision he has had to make, both professionally and personally. He has been asked, AWhy?@. Commissioner Cole believes it is the right thing to do.
The potential of creating a circus concerns Commissioner Cole very much. This County has had issues that dominate the headlines and dominate the letters to the editor. He believes the press also has a responsibility. The press should not allow itself to become the forum for a circus. Commissioner Cole has spent as much time as he could, as much time as it takes with the media, to answer every question. He would like to be able to respond to issues and not allow them to fester.
Commissioner Cole discovered over the last couple of months that his faith and courage have kept him going. Standing by the conviction that he knows this is right. He stated that this decision takes more courage than anything he has done before. The Board of Commissioners will have to make the decision. Commissioner Cole is asking for the support of the Commissioners and the Budget Board. It=s a decision that he will vote Ayes@ on. Commissioner Cole wants the community to understand. If they have questions, call him. He will do his best to be available.
Commissioner Britton supports the idea. Commissioner Britton stated that it is not a new idea. It has been discussed and researched before.
Commissioner York states concept is good. Have to be more efficient. The speed of the decision concerns him. Commissioner York would like several months to look at it. Not 100% on board yet. Commissioner York stated that if they were to vote on the proposal today, he would vote against it today.
Jim Van Duyn, 14545 Angle Lane, Baker County. He does not doubt the Commissioners= sincerity in trying to solve the managerial and budget problems of the county. Mr. Van Duyn believes the proposal would not only change the management structure, but the institutional structure of county government. He suggested further research of the proposal, planning and writing job descriptions. Mr. Van Duyn offered another option. Commissioner Cole should remain full-time county chair. Take the position of Economic Development Director. Agree with the City that the economic development position should be brought under the management of the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners. Mr. Van Duyn would like Commissioner Cole to draw up outline of what he is trying to accomplish without reorganizing the charter of the county.
Commissioner Cole is taking recommendations seriously. He is appreciative of the quality of feedback he is receiving.
Peggi Timm, 956 Hill Crest Circle, Baker City. She thanked Commissioner Cole for his thorough announcement. Ms. Timm would like to hear more of what the Commissioners are thinking. Lay out a plan. She would like to know where we go from here. Baker County is a political subdivision of the State of Oregon. We follow the statutes of the State of Oregon. Ms. Timm would like the Commissioners to make sure this decision best serves the residents of Baker County.
First Reading-Ordinance 2000-02 Amending Baker County Comprehensive Plan and Ordinance 2000-03 Amending Baker County Zoning and Subdivision: Commissioner Cole asked Commissioners Britton and York if they preferred to have the first ordinance read in full, or if reading the title only is sufficient? Commissioner Britton preferred title only. Commissioner York agreed. Commissioner Cole read the title of Ordinance 2000-02 which amends Ordinance 83-02. In the matter of AAn ordinance amending the Baker County comprehensive plan and plan and zone maps and declaring an emergency@. Commissioner York moved to support Ordinance 2000-02. Commissioner Cole seconded the motion.. Commissioner Britton asked if Bill Searles had made the changes that were requested. Bill Searles stated all changes were made. Dean Brickey of the Record Courier asked about the emergency clause. Commissioner Britton stated that it is standard procedure. County Counsel, Sarah Johnston stated that the Adeclaring an emergency@ language is added so the Ordinance can take effect upon passage. Commissioner Cole asked for a vote on the motion. Sarah Johnston stated that a motion need not be made on the first reading. A time and place will be set for the second reading and public hearing. Commissioner York withdrew his motion to adopt the first reading. Commissioner Cole accepted the withdrawal of the motion. Commissioner York moved to amend ordinance to include documentation as to why an emergency is being declared. Commissioner Cole seconded the motion. Bill Searles will put explanation in section 3 of the ordinance. Motion carried unanimously.
Commissioner Cole asked Commissioners Britton and York if they preferred to have the second ordinance read in full, or if reading the title only is sufficient? Commissioner York preferred title only. Commissioner Britton agreed. Commissioner Cole read the title of Ordinance 2000-03 which amends Ordinance 83-03. In the matter of AAn ordinance amending the Baker County zoning and subdivision ordinance and declaring an emergency@. Commissioner Cole moved to have language added to describe why an emergency is being declared. Commissioner Britton seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Commissioner Cole stated that a public hearing and the second reading for each ordinance will occur on April 25, 2000 at 10:00 a.m. At that time the Board will vote and make their decision.
Announcement: Commissioner Cole stated the County Budget information will be released April 6, 2000.
Health Department fee change request: Dr. Stiff stated that he is trying to keep the Health Department fiscally sound. He has looked at revenues and believes they can make some changes. Some health insurance company=s do not pay for birth control. For years, women have been able to bring their prescriptions from private practice physicians to the Health Department. These women have been able to purchase birth control at a lower cost from the Health Department than from a pharmacy. The State has stated that as of next year, the women will have to have their family planning physicals at the Health Department if they are to receive their birth control from there. The fee for the family planning physical has been $35.00. Dr. Stiff stated the fee for the physical should be raised to $108.00. It is a fair amount and would still fall under the sliding fee scale. Dr. Stiff is sure that the fee change will not have a great affect on the number of people seen. The County still has a large amount of people that are below the 185% poverty level. Dr. Stiff also requested that the price of the birth control pills be raised. He would like to see the $6.00 pills raised to $12.00, and the $10.00 pills raised to $15.00. This would still be 1/3 of market price. Commissioner York moved to accept the request for fee changes at the Health Department The order will be signed out of court. Commissioner Britton seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

Process to formulate position on BLM Recreation Plan and Hells Canyon District: Commissioner Cole stated that this involves two things. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Hells Canyon has a comment period open right now. The Bureau of Land Management has a comment period open on their recreational facility improvements on the Snake River, that they=re proposing as a part of the re-licensing process. Commissioner Cole suggested holding a public hearing. The deadline for the Forest Service is June. Commissioner York believes the deadline for the BLM is the end of April. The Commissioners decided to hold a public hearing for the BLM Recreation Plan on April 25, 2000 at 1:00 p.m. A public hearing will be held May 17, 2000 at 11:00 for the Hells Canyon District.
Report on Washington Gulch: Ken Helgerson advised that on April 3, 2000 the Road Department had abated a road hazard on Washington Gulch. Two gates were located on the eastside of the creek, on the dedicated portion acknowledged as county road. Mr. Helgerson presented a report to the Commissioners regarding the situation. The report is pursuit to ORS in the procedures he was to follow. The rule states, AAbate of a road hazard by the County. A County road official may abate the violation of ORS 268.256 at any time if any of the following occur:@ In subsection c of the order 268.271 (1-c), AIf the County road official determines that violates a substantial risk of damage, injury or other emergency condition that requires abatement without delay and without notice of hearing.@ On Monday, April 3, 2000, Ken Helgerson observed a locked gate at the location. The gate was locked. The explanation of the acts performed are explained in the report. The cost to the road department was $320.87. The cost to the Sheriffs office was not available. Sarah Johnston advised that she will notify the land owner and any occupants of the property, that there will be a hearing on the matter. This will be a hearing to determine who is responsible for the violation and to determine the total cost of the violation. By statute the County has to allow the owner 30 days before a hearing. Commissioner Cole set the hearing for May 17, 2000 at 1:15 p.m. Commissioner Britton moved to accept the road report on the removal of gates on Washington Gulch. Commissioner York seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
RS2477 Draft Resolution: Ken Helgerson stated a petition was received pertaining to the Archery Range road and the road above the cabins, which Mr. Buck did lock up. The road department pursued talking to the Forest Service, and further pursued talking to a representative from Senator Gordon Smith=s office. On March 30, 2000 a meeting was held with the Forest Service regarding this. There are concerns over the possible confrontations on the Archery Range road. The Forest Service has taken the action; that they have done all they are going to do and will not do any more. The Forest Service states they have no locks on any of the gates. The County has proof on a USGS map created in 1901, both roads are on there, prior to the claim. Those lands were not private ground or a patented mining claim. Sarah Johnston stated that RS2477 comes out of a mining act of 1866. It has since been repealed, however it preserved all rights that were in place. The law states, AThe present grants for Arights of way@ over public lands not reserved for any other purpose.@ Sarah also stated that there is a need to put in place a countywide policy on RS2477. A draft resolution should be created. The policy would identify the roads. The County would only take the roads as needed. Ken Helgerson and Sarah Johnston suggested that the public be asked for input. Commissioner Britton stated that the issue needs to be resolved prior to May 1, 2000. Terry Everson as a member of the Archery Club, has collected some information. Ken stated that the county has expended funds on the road. The road department planted pipe in 1986. And they plowed snow when the trailer was moved in. The road was plowed until Jerry Buck moved in. The road department also maintained the road into the Archery Club. There is a need to obtain all documentation of continued public use. Sarah will check with the City regarding their documentation. Ken said the County would not be obligated to expend funds on the road. The Commissioners can set the standards of maintenance. The road could be maintained in accordance with historical maintenance. It is important to let the public know this is a priority. In a memo, Sarah will request that the public supply, APersonal statements regarding the road as far back as possible. These statements should include names, dates, duration of use, purpose, type of use of the road, hunting, traveling by vehicle, horse back, etc.@ They should be notarized if possible. A notice will be given to the media requesting the statements. The Commissioners will put a policy in place at the next commission session. Commissioner Britton agreed that with a policy, it would be easier to enforce. Commission Cole set April 25, 2000 at 6:00 p.m. as the date for the public hearing. The hearing will be at the Extention building.
Order 2000-140: Matter of correcting a clerical error which resulted in the name AGoodman Sawmill Lane@ being assigned to County Road #1014, rather than the historically correct name of AGoodwin Sawmill Lane@. Sarah Johnston stated that sometime in the 1950=s a spelling error was made and AGoodwin@ turned into AGoodman@. A petition was signed by everyone adjacent to the road stating that the road should be AGoodwin@. Commissioner Cole moved to approve Order 2000-140. Commissioner Britton seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Sumpter Valley Railroad: Lease addendum to adding the extra track. Sarah Johnston has the addendum, she wanted to know if the Commissioner=s had voted on it. Commissioner Britton stated they had consensus, but he was not sure if they had voted. Commissioner Britton moved to add to the Sumpter Valley Railroad Lease, the strip of track that the County owns, that runs through the old town side of McEwen. Commissioner Cole seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Letter on Triangle Land Exchange: Commissioner Cole read a letter drafted by Commissioner Britton regarding the Triangle Land Exchange and previous land exchanges. The letter will be sent to Gary Lieuallen of the Malhuer National Forest. The letter states the amount of tax revenue Baker County will lose in the exchange. The letter asks for a historical accounting of exchanges up to and including the Triangle Land Exchange and a projection of when and how Baker Countys= tax base will be restored.
Rural Addressing: March 29, 2000, memo from Bill Searles. Mr. Searles was suggesting that the Commissioners give the matter some attention. Commissioner Britton stated that during the hearings for Emergency Management and Response, it was a concern. Commissioner Britton does not believe that rural addressing should be used for planning purposes. Need to take the planning issue out of it. The concern is emergency response. Put violators on notice if necessary.
LCDC Goal 14: Commissioner Britton stated that a work group had reviewed the rules and added a proposal at the end that said, ALot of Record Law will still apply@. DLCD didn=t want to go along with that. They are saying, they=re restricting more. There are five non-buildable parcels that could put close to $1,500,000.00 on the tax rolls, if they were buildable. The County didn=t restrict that, the State did.
Appointment of interim Community College Representative for Baker County: Commissioner Cole attended the last meeting of the Baker County/Blue Mountain Community College Advisory Committee. They were celebrating the vote. BMCC has offered to allow a Baker County Representative to sit in on their Board and Budget meetings this month. Commissioner Cole was contacted as to who he would like to appoint as representative. Eloise Dielman is the logical choice. Commissioner Cole moved to appoint Eloise Dielman as the Interim Ad Hoc representative from Baker County to the Blue Mountain Community College Board of Education. Commissioner Britton seconded the motion. The position was not advertised, it is an interim position, and timing is of the essence. Motion carried unanimously.
Patrick Smith presented the Commissioners with the budgets for: Commissioners, Economic Development, Public Safety and Weed Department.
Community College Matter: Commissioner Cole stated that the passage of the Community College Annexation is subject to the Emergency Board funding it. The Emergency Board is to make a decision this month. The money that is set aside for this annexation was to be appropriated by the Emergency Board. If they don=t approve it this month, the vote is void. The Chairman of the BMCC Board of Directors doesn=t believe it will be approved. Commissioner Cole would like to be in Salem for this. He will talk to Senator Ferrioli, Rep Lundquist and Rep Jensen.
Board of Commission Meeting, April 5, 2000 Page 7
Eastern Oregon Taxing District Officials: Commissioner Cole received a letter regarding property tax. Seems to have some implications on the budget. The letter states, AIt phases out Western/Eastern Oregon privilege taxes over a three year period, and phases in forest land taxation to 100% of it=s value over the same three year period. So districts having significant forest land acreage that will be in the new evaluation program will see an increase in taxes.@ Commissioner Britton stated that acreages under 5000 can opt one way or the other. Commissioner Cole will forward to the Assessor.
Oregon Marine Board: Commissioner Cole stated the Oregon Marine Board has received a request from ODFW to enact boating regulations on Balm Creek and Higgins Reservoirs. ODFW is asking that Balm Creek be restricted to electric motors only, and that motors be prohibited on Higgins altogether. Public hearing on May 18, 2000 in the court room.
Juvenile Grants: Commissioner York stated that in order to get some of the Juvenile Accountability Block Grants, we have to implement a policy of drug testing juveniles in the justice system. This would be a random testing. Must have written and adopted policy. A grant in 1999 was not received due to a lack of a policy. Sarah Johnston will check with other counties.
Elk Farming: Commissioner York received a packet from the AOC. They are requesting support for more help with domestic elk farming. Having problems with disease, etc from domestic elk. They are wanting to expand the program. Commissioner York is not in favor of supporting this. Commissioner Britton agreed.
Baker/Morrow Regional Partnership: Commissioner Cole stated there have been two meetings. The last meeting was on April 3, 2000 in Boardman at the Port of Morrow=s offices. Reviewed the results of the retreat. They were very impressed. The attendance was light. Commissioner Cole and Dan Warnock were the only Baker County representatives able to attend. The Partnership is trying to get staff in place for the Greater Eastern Oregon Development Corporation. Baker County=s plan is done. Morrow County needs to get caught up. Next step is taking the agenda and putting it together. Will try to figure out how specific they need to be. The Partnership also discussed leadership roles. Commissioner Cole was elected as co-chair along with Terry Tallman.
Fairgrounds Sizing and Siting Task Force: Had a meeting on April 4, 2000 at the Extention building. Jim Van Duyn presented a three-page memo, which summarized the process to date, made about ten or twelve conclusions and then four recommendations. Commissioner Cole indicated that the turn out was not so good for the meeting. The board will be poled on the recommendations. Gina should have an answer in a week.
Development of strategic vision for re-licensing process: Commissioner Cole and Commissioner York attended the Baker Progress Boards= meeting at the Geiser Grand. Next step is to take the information and turn it into Baker County=s position with respect to re-licensing. The Commissioners will look at that in their next meeting.
