Update from Veterans Services: Director of Veterans’ Services Arda Johnson was present. Ms. Johnson stated that her clients were still expressing positive comments over the new office and waiting room. Ms. Johnson stated that her job was to advocate for Veterans and their families. Ms. Johnson stated that Baker County had 2,317 Veterans. Of those, the largest group that she served was from WWII. Ms. Johnson stated that there were a number of state and federal benefits available for veterans. Ms. Johnson provided the Commissioners with statistics and projections. Unfortunately, the projections did not take into account the families of the Veterans. Ms. Johnson stated that she was seeing an increase in Veterans applying for health care. Much of the health care is provided in Boise and Walla Walla. One of the benefits of the health care was the low cost of prescriptions. Commissioner Cole questioned if the Veterans could receive their health benefits at other locations as well. Ms. Johnson stated that they needed to go to Boise or Walla Walla, however, if it was preauthorized or an emergency, that they could use a local facility. Ms. Johnson added that other benefits included education, home loans, and property tax exemption.

Pacific Northwest Law Enforcement Training Center (PNWLETC) Discussion:
Mr. Fred Warner, Jr. was present and read a brief statement to the Commissioners reaffirming his request for an independent study to be done. Mr. Warner Jr. stated that after reading the Baker City Herald the night before, that it had become apparent that the Commissioners would not be honoring his request. Mr. Warner Jr. submitted an additional list of issues and concerns to the Commissioners.

The Commissioners read over Mr. Warner Jr’s new statement and Commissioner Cole asked for additional public comment. No additional comments were offered.

Both Commissioners Britton and Cole read aloud their written responses (Copies of these written statements are attached). Commissioner Kerns stated that he had spent a lot of time thinking about Mr. Warner Jr.’s request. Commissioner Kerns stated that he did not see anything wrong with creating a committee to lay out the figures so that they were understandable. Commissioner Kerns stated that in regards to the new issues just delivered by Mr. Warner Jr., that he did not have the answers for them. Commissioner Kerns questioned if Mr. Bennett had been in contact with Guyer, Lindley, Bailey and Martin to inquire as to if a specific audit would cost approximately $2,000. Mr. Bennett stated that there was approximately 14 funding sources in regards the PNWLETC and that the audit currently underway would include the funding sources.

Finance Manager Christena Cook stated that the Board of Commissioners would have to define the scope of the specific audit. Ms. Cook expressed concern that the Commission was asking the auditor to do a summary of whether or not spending was done correctly, and that the auditor was unable to give summaries, as it would be subjective. Ms. Cook stated that the length of the time and cost to complete the special audit would depend upon the scope.

Mr. Guyer stated that he had been staying out the County’s audit due to personal reasons and reaffirmed that the issues at hand were not financial. Mr. Guyer stated that the only real financial question was who paid for the meetings in April and May when the PNWLETC Advisory Board met in Baker City. Commissioner Kerns stated that he would like to have Mr. Lindley of Guyer, Lindley, Bailey, and Martin do an additional audit to lay out the funding sources as they were hard to follow. Commissioner Britton stated that he believed that Mr. Bennett and Ms. Cook could provide a synopsis and did not see any reason for spending additional taxpayer money on it. Ms. Cook requested that the Commissioners give her specifics on what they would want in the report. Commissioner Cole stated that he did not have an objection to taking a deeper look into to the funds and agreed that the County had the capacity to perform the function “in-house”. Commissioner Kerns agreed that in house staff could do it and requested that the report included funds for the entire “four block area”. Mr. Bennett reminded the Board of Commissioners that the some of the actions taken on the “four block area” were by separate entities: the Fair Board and the National Guard.

Request for Unlocked Gate at Connor Creek:
Assistant Roadmaster Rick Holden was present before the Board of Commissioners. Mr. Holden stated that the landowner had made a request to install two gates on Connor Creek Road, one by the cabin and one up above. Mr. Holden stated that the landowner was planning on starting a major mining operation including blasting and hauling of heavy machinery. Mr. Holden stated that it was the Road Departments recommendation to install the gates, with the understanding that there would be no locks, and if the gates were closed, they needed to be manned by a person to inform the public of what was going on and how long it would take. Mr. Holden stated that they were still working with the landowner to establish a road around the mining site. Commissioner Cole inquired as to how long the new road would take. Mr. Holden responded that it could take up to two years. Commissioner Kerns clarified that the stipulations for having a gate would be that there would not be any locks, and that a qualified person would be on site should the gates need to be closed. Commissioner Kerns questioned if the landowner was okay with the conditions. Mr. Holden stated that they did not want to have to put someone on site at the upper gate and would prefer to put a lock on the upper gate.

Ms. Carmelita Holland, representing the Eastern Oregon Sportsman Association was present and stated that the association did not want a gate anywhere on the road. If they are blasting, they need to put up barricades as the gate would be intimidating.

Mr. Jim Grove was present and stated that he agreed with Ms. Holland. Mr. Grove stated that if the gates went back up there would be more trouble. Mr. Grove stated that he found it unusual that they would pick up their mining operation when the hunting season started up again. Mr. Grove stated that if the gates needed to be manned anyway, that he would rather seem them put up temporary barricades with a qualified person on site.

Mr. Holden stated that the landowner had applied for the gates since March of 2002.

Mr. Leonard Bacon was present and stated that the previous gates had been taken down, but that the signs were still up and were intimidating. Mr. Bacon stated that he did not see any reason for the entire road to be blocked off, they should only do the portion where they were mining/blasting.

Ms. Terry Drever Gee, Director of Government Affairs for the Eastern Oregon Mining Association was present and questioned whether or not the Commission had seen a mining plan and if the landowner had a blasting license. Commissioner Cole stated that they had yet to see a plan. Ms. Drever Gee stated that the EOMA was opposed to any kind of a gate.

Commissioner Cole questioned what would happen should the gates not go up. Mr. Holden stated that a fight would eventually happen. Mr. Holden stated that if just barricades were used, that it would increase the length of time that the road would be closed. County Counsel Sarah Hilderbrand reaffirmed that the gates would not be locked and if that the Roadmaster had the authority to go up on his on accord and take the gate down should the gates be locked.

Mr. Grove questioned if there would be a fine should the gates be locked. Ms. Hilderbrand stated that she had not heard of attaching a fine in this case, and it would depend upon the seriousness of the situation.

Ms. Drever Gee questioned the objective of the gate. Mr. Holden stated that it would be closed during mining operations, blasting and hauling. Mr. Holden stated that the landowner would be doing open pit mining as well as underground.

Mr. Bennett stated that the decision was an administrative decision to be made by the Roadmaster. Mr. Bennett recommended redirecting the questions that could not be answered to the Roadmaster and have them researched further.

Commissioner Cole stated that he was not in favor of putting the gates up. Commissioner Britton recommend not putting up the gates until they could gather additional information. Ms. Hilderbrand added that it would also be a good idea to see a mining plan, with times and dates of when they would be mining and closing the road.

Consensus was reached to direct the Roadmaster to gather additional information before making a decision.

Oregon Cultural Trust: Mr. Bob Evans was present to inform the County Commission of its responsibilities in regards to the Oregon Cultural Trust and to inform them of the Regional Cultural Trust Summit. Mr. Evans stated that HB2923 was passed in 2001 creating the cultural trust. Funds would be raised by the trust through foundations, the sell of state property, the sell of new license plates, and private contributors. Mr. Evans stated that by the beginning of October 2002, each county was to identify individuals that they would like to serve on a local committee. The local committee would then set benchmarks, develop a local plan and assist in the disbursement of funds. Commissioner Kerns questioned what aspects of culture the trust would be funding. Mr. Evans stated that it would be all aspects, not just the arts, but Baker County’s history, Crossroads, the library, and educational institutions that reflect humanities and culture. Commissioner Kerns questioned if Mr. Evans would able to supply names of individuals willing to serve on the committee. Mr. Evans stated that he had distributed information throughout the county and was waiting to hear back. The question was raised from the audience on if the County would be responsible for the funds. Mr. Evans stated that the funds would go through a 501c3, directly to the local planning coalition, and that it was his understanding that each county would receive $20,000 for their planning process, with competitive grants also being pursued. Interim Administrative Officer Mark Bennett recommended defining the scope of the committee first and decide what administrative capacity the County would have over the local planning committee. Commissioner Cole questioned the life of the planning committee. Mr. Evans stated that it was his understanding that the local planning committee would be active through 2003. Mr. Evans reminded the Commission that the Oregon Cultural Trust Summit would be held in Baker City at the Geiser Grand on September 19, 2002.

Commissioner Britton stated that they were also able to view the Snake River Road and areas of erosion. Commissioner Britton stated that a follow up meeting would be held in October with the four counties surrounding the Hells Canyon Complex. Ms. Terry Drever Gee questioned how the County would go through the thousands of pages of the draft relicensing agreement in 90 days. Commissioner Britton stated that the draft of the relicensing agreement would be available on CD’s, making it a little bit easier to search for issues pertaining to Baker County. Ms. Drever Gee asked that if there was information that could be partnershiped with Penny Dunn Woods at the BLM. Commissioner Britton stated that he had already visited with Ms. Dunn Woods on the river. Ms. Drever Gee added that Baker County was not the only county that Idaho Power had pulled agreements from and that they were doing it with other counties as well. Ms. Timm questioned if there was a new list for Baker County. Commissioner Britton stated that the August 2000 position paper still stood. Ms. Drever Gee added that it was critical for Baker County to do as much as possible as this agreement would affect the County for the next 40 years.

The question was raised in regards to hiring legal counsel for the relicensing process. Commissioner Cole stated that a committee had been formed (the Hells Canyon Dam Relicensing Advisory Committee) and the committee had recommended not to seek legal council, but rather to pursue a public relations approach. Commissioner Cole stated that Mr. Glynn Murphy had went before the Baker/Morrow Regional Partnership to secure a grant to hire a public relations specialist. Commissioner Cole added that he had drafted a document with the scope/duties for that position and would be presenting it to the committee.

Request for Information:
Ms. Peggi Timm inquired as to what the County’s policy was in regards to requesting information. Commissioner Cole stated that the County encouraged the public to ask county staff, however in regards to information on the Pacific Northwest Law Enforcement Training Center, based on the current request to do an independent study of the fund, those requests would be sent through County Counsel. Mr. Bennett added that it was important to have a “point person” as the number of people calling staff were increasing and we did not want to be duplicating duties. Mr. Bennett stated that requests had been being referred to County Counsel because the public was saying that their questions were not being answered. Commissioner Kerns was concerned that Ms. Timm was not getting access to what she was requesting. Mr. Bennett stated that if the information was available and if anyone called for it, the County made it available, however, county staff would not be providing executive summaries to the public. Commissioner Britton stated that given the fact that the County has received accusations that it does not provide information, that he would prefer to have a point person. Commissioner Britton added that although the County did not have a written policy, that with contentious issues, requests for information have been directed through County Counsel. Commissioner Kerns suggested that Mr. Bennett be the point person and to seek legal counsel when needed. Commissioner Britton clarified to Ms. Timm that from now on if she needed to request information to go directly to the department heads and keep the requests in writing. If Ms. Timm was not satisfied with the department head, Commissioner Britton suggested that she see the Administrative Officer. Commissioner Cole asked if this answered Ms. Timm’s questions. Ms. Timm replied that it had.

Mr. Bennett stated that the Planning Commission had reviewed all of the contractors that had applied and consensus had been reached that The Benkendorf Associates Corporation was the most qualified. Ms. Terry Drever Gee, Chair of the Planning Commission was present and stated that a thorough research had been done on the contractors. The Planning Commission had decided the Benkendorf Associates could provide the best service and product for the money. Ms. Drever Gee stated that she had personally made calls to people that had worked with Benkendorf and Associates and had received no negative comments.
