Um since the first reading, um our

and there was a suggested change
[2:19] um to the language in um in your
heading.
[2:25] All right.
Keep in mind
[2:27] and it's just a minor change. So, the
original uh proposal was to strike in
[2:33] regards to septic tanks. Um Department
of Environmental Quality um Public
[2:38] Health recommended that we keep that
language in and insert or unit of local
[2:44] Um that language was provided to County
Council and is in um the packet.

You can go ahead and walk us
[3:58] » Yeah, good morning commissioners. Bob
Walter, community development director.
[4:01] And the item before you is to enter into
an IGA with uh City of Helix
[4:09] that would allow county staff to process
an amendment to the city's urban growth
[4:17] Recognizing that the city has limited
staffing
[4:21] as the
this would be a way we could help them
[4:23] with the project that they're working on
with the Helix school district to uh
[4:29] create a sports field, football field,
regulation size football field for their
[4:34] um
newly created
[4:39] So
[4:42] we discussed this proposal with school
district staff and and city staff and
[4:46] have identified a path forward
which would require a urban growth
[4:50] boundary swap.
[4:53] With this contract we would be able to
process the application for the city.
[4:58] » Thanks Bob. Uh public comments?
[5:03] Nothing there commissioners?
>> I think this is a fantastic
[5:09] idea and I couldn't be more excited to
see Helix bring back football to to the
[5:14] region so I
kudos to them. Uh with that Mr. Chair I
[5:18] would move to authorize an
intergovernmental agreement between the
[5:22] City of Helix and Umatilla County for
community development planning or
[5:26] let me try that again.
Uh and the Umatilla County for community
[5:30] development department to take the lead
in processing
[5:33] of a post acknowledgement plan
amendment.
[5:36] » Second.
>> Got a motion and second. I have one
[5:38] quick question. What what do you guess
the timeline is?
[5:41] » Um
a couple months.
[5:44] » And and then on the
part of this is going to be relying on
[5:48] the
city and the school district work
[5:51] together to make the application of the
county.
[5:59] Thanks Bob to your whole department.
>> And in the back I don't know if you'll
[6:03] see that.
>> Yeah, Mr. Brocker.
[6:05] » Come you come on. You got to clip. You
got to come up give your name and
[6:08] address.
>> That'll teach you put your hand up.
[6:12] [laughter]
[6:19] » My name is Cliff Brocker at
81891 Highway.
[6:24] Uh Cooper Grove.
Thanks.
[6:28] I just had a question about the
Is there a Brocker Road?
[6:32] Where this all goes?
I'm just curious. I I have no objection.
[6:36] I'm a neutral on this. I I just wonder
what the proposal was and where do you
[6:42] plan to find the Brocker Road?
Property.
[6:48] Here's my two maps.
>> Good question. Bob.
[6:52] » I can address that.
The school district is working with a
[6:58] couple of neighboring land owners. Um
The school district property and that
[7:04] they've identified as a possible
location.
[7:08] And they would be swapping it with some
land that is in the flood plain.
[7:14] And is not very suitable for
development.
[7:17] So that land in the flood plain would be
um
[7:21] become a few zoning and then the land
that they want the football field would
[7:26] be
become a city zone and annexed to the
[7:29] city.
I can share with you the areas they're
[7:34] looking at.
They will have to do an alternatives
[7:37] analysis so that the exact location
hasn't exactly been been said yet.
[7:46] » I I just I I
>> Where they're looking?
[7:49] » Great idea. I just was If you're so I
don't know
[7:52] how far along the process
where your expectations
[7:57] » I think it's just getting started.
>> I just didn't want one of these
[8:06] » [laughter]
[8:08] » Everybody wants to
>> [laughter]
[8:12] » Oh my goodness.
>> Thanks, Bob.
[8:15] » Bob, I do have a question now. Um how
much property are we talking about here?
[8:20] » Um
It would be
[8:23] It would be just enough for uh
um
[8:26] regulation football field plus some
parking. Um yeah.
[8:33] I don't know the exact size of it
because we haven't
[8:36] haven't
identified the exact location.
[8:40] » Okay.
>> [clears throat]
[8:41] » You have a raised hand in the back
again.
[8:43] Go ahead.
[8:50] » I don't know that's really the answer
for this situation.
[8:55] Don't mention it.
>> [laughter]
[9:01] » Okay. Thank you.
>> Thanks, Bob. We got a motion and a
[9:05] second. All those in favor?
>> Aye.
[9:07] » Aye.
>> Thank you. Thanks, Bob.
[9:10] Next item on the agenda is the fee
waiver. Um I think this is an amazing uh
[9:16] gesture, Bob.
>> Yeah. So, um as you know, on the fires
[9:20] that occurred July 15th on the lower Dry
Creek, uh there were multiple homes that
[9:24] were lost in that.
Uh all the dwellings that were lost are
[9:27] on land that's zoned exclusive farm use,
which is a state legislated zone. And
[9:32] so, there's
there's requirements in order to replace
[9:37] the dwelling if it's destroyed by fire.
They would have to apply for a permit
[9:42] from the county
and to do that within a certain time
[9:46] frame. And so we would like to
work with those land owners to make them
[9:51] aware of these requirements and help
them get their permits if they intend to
[9:56] rebuild. And as part of that, we were
asking the commissioners to waive the
[10:01] replacement dwelling fee. It's $75 for
replacement dwelling.
[10:06] Um
for the victims of the Lower Dry Creek
[10:09] fire.
>> I'd entertain a motion for a fee waiver.
[10:15] » Yeah.
Absolutely. I authorize community
[10:19] development
I authorize community development
[10:22] department staff to waive the land use
application replacement dwelling fee for
[10:26] victims of the Lower Dry Creek fire.
[10:31] » I'll make a motion.
>> Yeah, I move.
[10:33] » Okay. I'll second.
>> Gladly second.
[10:36] » No, I think that's you.
>> Nice upper body. You're good.
[10:39] » Thank you.
>> We have a motion and a second. All those
[10:42] in favor?
>> Aye.
[10:43] » Aye.
>> Thanks, Bob.
[10:45] Uh next item is for
the county sheriff's office
[10:53] payment for the
yearly fee for Grimm.
[10:59] This is an
hundred system.
[11:01] » Good morning, everyone. I'm Robert
Fiddler, Sheriff's office. This is for
[11:06] the annual
subscription / services from Grimm,
[11:11] which is the record
record information management system on
[11:15] uh the dispatch system and the police uh
and fire reporting system. It's an
[11:21] annual uh current uh
Captain Kramer is out on a uh
[11:26] family emergency, so he couldn't be
here, but this is a
[11:29] budgeted item
uh for this year.
[11:35] » It looks like uh Morrow County also
and Boardman PD also reimbursed part of
[11:40] that.
>> Yes, they do, but I don't know what the
[11:43] amount is.
>> I was going to ask what they did last
[11:45] year.
[11:47] » Okay.
Uh
[11:51] Is there a word?
[11:55] I'll move to approve it.

[12:23] five and move to

[12:26] » uh approving the uh contract for jail
services in Morrow County.
[12:29] » County
um
[12:32] After some discussion with uh the
officials at Morrow County uh did have a
[12:36] slight rate increase for them.
Uh which is consistent with what's going
[12:41] on across the state for
uh DA prices. So, uh
[12:46] Other than that, it's uh standard
language that has been in place for
[12:50] uh many years. We got a contract with
Morrow County to sell jail beds for many
[12:55] years and this is just a renewal of that
agreement.
[13:00] » Okay.
I move to approve the contract with

cost of $20,000 for the next 12-month
[14:52] period. It's aired on a couple stations
during the peak drive times and it also
[14:58] allows for us to do the
12 monthly interview sessions where we
[15:03] we do some question and answers with one

[15:08] All that money for this is coming from
the OHA program development funding B
[15:13] 5101 and that is part of the budget we
submitted to OHA.
[15:23] » You already addressed my question on
whether there's general fund dollars or
[15:26] not, so I have no
I have no more questions.
[15:30] » Which is the word?
>> I I think this is wonderful. We've
[15:32] talked about this before and I think

authorize the expense of 20,000 to pay

[16:56] » Okay.
[16:59] Now, I move to approve and assign the
payable to Helion recording system
[17:04] maintenance in the amount of $11,589.
>> Second.
[17:08] » There's a motion and a second. I have a
quick question. How many people took
[17:11] advantage of the CARES Act?
>> As of Monday, we're over 800 and we're
[17:16] going to be sending out notice again
with this year's tax statements in
[17:20] October.
>> Impressive.
[17:24] Impressive.
I have a motion and a second. All those
[17:26] in favor say "Aye."
>> Aye.
[17:28] » Aye.
Thank you, Steve.
[17:33] Okay, Nick. We're at number nine now.
>> [laughter]
[17:43] » Good morning, Commissioners. Alicia
Herron, Deputy Director of
[17:46] This item before you is for the creation
of a community health worker
[17:52] rural health transformation funding
project that we had talked about
[17:58] the July meeting as well.
This is for expanding our nurse family
[18:02] partnership
visiting program that serves families
[18:06] pregnant and new mothers in Monroe
County.
[18:09] And the community health worker position
will help us to provide vital support
[18:13] for clients, uh, additional support
and mental health support.
[18:18] And those services are also available
through targeted case management under
[18:22] the supervision of a registered nurse
who takes advantage of the available
[18:25] revenue
[18:28] Uh, currently with the revenue that's
projected to likely be brought in and
[18:33] the
rural health transformation grant, uh,
[18:36] we're projecting a decrease in what
general fund usage would be
[18:40] this budget.
[18:45] » A decrease in general fund.
>> You don't um,
[18:50] till you get all the funding you don't
know that.
[18:52] Is
Are these positions the ones that we'll
[18:55] be on the hook for in the future?
>> Uh, the ask would be that this is a
[19:00] position that we would continue to carry
forward beyond the duration of the
[19:05] rural health transformation grant.
And what those expenses will look like
[19:10] beyond next fiscal year is a bigger
unknown than it is this fiscal year just
[19:14] because we don't know how much we'll be
able to draw in from targeted case
[19:17] management. We'll learn a lot about that
as we
[19:20] do that this fiscal year. So, we're
hoping to have better projections when
[19:23] we come before the
budget approvals in
[19:27] » But, this is under this grant
application, there's a requirement to
[19:31] maintain those positions.
>> This one, no.
[19:36] » This one, no.
So, there is no funding backup which
[19:39] means this is a position we can
eliminate.
[19:41] » You could, yes.
[19:47] » I hope we don't have to eliminate it. I
think this is very important in our
[19:51] county. So, I move to approve the
creation of community health worker
[19:55] position for FY FY 27.
>> Second.
[20:02] Been a motion and second. My comment is
I hope we don't have to either, but we
[20:05] have a lot of important positions
throughout in the public county. Our
[20:08] budget is not that.
So,
[20:14] hopefully
When will you know your funding status
[20:19] on
[20:21] » Well, we'll know more as we see when it
gets filled and we start drawing in some
[20:26] revenue for it. Um, kind of
kind of each month that goes by once
[20:30] it's filled, I'll probably have a better
idea. We'll put
[20:32] our tentative numbers and budget
requests in December, January time frame
[20:38] and I'm hoping I'll have even more
information to do that.
[20:42] Um, it'll help.
>> Felicia, not part of the motion, but can
[20:46] we make a request that you come back in
6 months and give us an update on this
[20:50] position and what the status is?
>> Yeah, I'd be happy to do that for the
[20:54] whole, kind of it's kind of interwoven
with other work we're doing.
[20:57] » other two positions, yeah. I get it.
[21:01] I think it's going to be important
[clears throat] as we look at next
[21:03] year's budgeting process.
Thank you.
[21:07] » Thank you.
>> I agree with that. I but I also think
[21:11] that it's important that you tell us how
important this program is.
[21:17] I know you're looking at it from the
funding funding side Dan, but I'm
[21:21] looking at it from the
the health care side and there's folks
[21:27] that you're going to reach out to that
won't even get health care unless you
[21:32] have this program in place especially
for little tigers and I think that's
[21:36] very important. So I agree with the
the suggestion. Thank you.
[21:41] » I think
I think your sentence is good. I had a
[21:43] motion and a second. All those in favor
say I.
[21:46] » I.
>> I.
[21:47] » Thank you.
[21:52] Next item on the agenda is the
West Umatilla
[22:02] Yeah. Vector control. Let's get them up

>> I have a request that we put kind of
[22:07] council down to
vote here for reappointment to
[22:13] West Umatilla Mosquito Control District.
[22:19] » Two applicants are reappointments,

[22:22] » Yes, sir.
>> Thank you.

[22:36] favor?
>> I.
[22:38] » I.
>> I.
[22:39] CBA payments.
>> Uh this business item before the board
[22:43] is for the
CBA software license.
[22:47] $10,000. Um
we say it's just a patch without a two.
[22:52] I think we're paying for the close of
the year, but
[22:58] » That's exactly right. These are
quarterly payments. Uh
[23:02] and we're hoping that these will be
going away within the next 18 months and
[23:06] it will be on our own after that.
>> Those are all reimbursable.
[23:12] Those
[23:14] » I I
>> You mean like with the CDA passed back
[23:17] for these?
>> Oh, this is CDA, different. I'm sorry.
[23:22] No, sorry.
I was on a different subject already.
[23:29] » Thank you.
>> And with that, Mr. Chairman, I'd move
[23:33] approval of payment to the CDA in the
amount of $29,010.55.
[23:41] » I have a question.
>> Second then we
[23:44] » Second.
Um what are we paying for?
[23:47] » This is the ability to operate the CDA
going forward and so we can
[23:52] bring it into um
Rector North development purposes in the
[23:56] future.
>> Okay, so this is our portion.
[23:58] » Yes, this is our portion. Every All five

[24:33] various amounts at 12, 13, 14, and 15.
Um they're expenses for the 26 fair

[25:16] Rover security in 50 the amount of
56,270.
[25:24] Which is the board?
>> Move approval.
[25:27] » Um
Second, but I have a question.
[25:31] The contract was for 52,000.
What is the 3,429
[25:38] is for Midway OLCC, but it's not in the
contract.
[25:43] » For additional security.
Additional paper security that they
[25:50] thought they needed after the
after they'd already done the original
[25:53] contract.
[26:02] And that's why this is coming back cuz
it would instead of just being a under
[26:08] 5,000 expense, they combined it with the
original contract. Otherwise
[26:15] And these are all budgeted items for
this year.
[26:20] » The additional Midway OLCC is an
additional I mean, that is a budgeted
[26:24] item.
Even though we didn't know about it.
[26:27] » In their budget, yeah.
[26:37] In a motion and a second, all those in
favor say I.
[26:39] » I.
>> I.
[26:41] » No.
>> So,
[26:44] the records show that Mr. Timmons voted
nay. Next is flip flop sound.
[26:52] This one's uh split into commissioners
because there's two panels on it.
[26:58] The first one is for $38,341.
Second one for $1,280.
[27:07] This I think is for staging and that's
what I think.
[27:10] » Staging and sound, yep.
Move board.
[27:16] » Are there two separate action items on
this one?
[27:19] » Yes.
>> Well, we already did the original one.
[27:22] So
>> I think they both can.
[27:28] » Okay.
So
[27:30] I'll move to approve the payable in the
amount of $33,341
[27:35] to Flip Flop Entertainment.

[28:00] » So this payable is for Northwest Event
Marketing.
[28:12] » Move board.
>> I'll approve it.
[28:16] » Second. I have a question on this one.
>> Yeah.
[28:19] » This
[28:22] Does the fair um do they get together
and go down as a group and have some
[28:28] type of a convention or something to
where they look at all of these enter
[28:32] tainers?
Okay.
[28:34] » And then Western Fairs Association and
Eastern Fairs.
[28:37] » So this isn't this is something above
and beyond
[28:41] what
that
[28:45] » No, this is this is the production guys.
This is who puts on the concerts, The
[28:50] the
individual ones.
[28:52] This isn't the entertainment itself.
>> Right. Okay. So, they're Okay, I
[28:57] understand what you're saying. So, these
are like the contractors.
[29:00] » These are contractors. [clears throat]
>> Okay. All right.
[29:04] » Make a motion and a second.
>> Second.
[29:07] » All those in favor?
>> Aye.
[29:08] » Aye.
>> Aye.
[29:12] » Next item is city of Weston.
>> Uh so, this was discussed at the um
[29:19] concert work session. It's
[29:23] a grant of
$20,000 to the city of Weston to build a
[29:26] concrete pad.
I think there's some electrical
[29:30] connections to go with that concrete
pad.
[29:33] » That would be an engineer.
>> Yeah.
[29:37] » Is this a reimbursable grant?
[29:42] 20,000 seems like an awful lot of
concrete.
[29:47] » I can't see doing that.
>> Well, $15 a foot for a square foot for
[29:52] um
Davis Bacon rates.
[29:55] That would make your pad 37 ft by 37 ft.
>> I don't think 4 in
[29:59] is like my 12 in.
Because of the generator vibration.
[30:05] I I'm not an engineer.
[30:10] » That's an awful
for what for money for concrete.
[30:14] » It's up to you guys.
[30:23] » Did we see a bid on this?
>> No.
[30:26] » Yeah.
>> Can we table this and get a bid?
[30:30] » Uh we can. Except city of Weston's
expects the generator to be here
[30:35] shortly, but that's not a problem.
All those in favor of tabling?
[30:40] Or is there a motion to table?
>> I make a motion to table till we get a
[30:43] bid.
>> Second.
[30:45] » Okay. Been a motion and a second. All
those in favor say I.
[30:48] » I.
[30:54] Um Nick, are you going to get a hold of
the city of Weston? How does this work?
[31:06] Okay.
[31:18] Okay.
Um
[31:22] Still letter of City of Echo letter of
support?
[31:25] » Yep.
Uh so the next business item for the
[31:27] commission is uh letter of request to
the City of Echo for their application
[31:31] for the regional infrastructure fund.
[31:38] » I move to authorize Charity and
Tillamook County Board of Commissioners
[31:40] to sign the attached letter of support
for the City of Echo.
[31:43] » Second.
>> Got a motion and a second. All those in
[31:46] favor say I.
>> I.
[31:50] » And next is ODOT acquisitions. This is
to do with the ADA intersection and
[31:57] corner replacements.
>> Um so this is part of the events uh
[32:04] which I was going to mention, part of
the ADA improvement project for ODOT.
[32:08] Uh this is uh
a temporary parking easement for the
[32:12] parking lot across the street.
One permanent portion of the easement is
[32:18] to add a sign kind of at this close
corner and some temporary
[32:35] » What kind of sign are you talking about?
Like a road sign or is it like a digital
[32:38] sign that
>> You know, I'm not sure. It's marked off
[32:40] road.
[32:46] My guess is it's a road sign.
>> Okay.
[32:51] What's curious to me is that it's a
one-way sign.
[32:54] It could be.
[32:57] So, I would move to authorize chair to
sign and authorize letter.
[33:03] » Second.
>> Any other votes?
[33:05] » I second. All those in favor say I.
>> I.
[33:08] » The just a heads-up, there will be more

electrical components for that switch
