1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,600
Good

2
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:11,680
morning. I saw that I was allowed to speak, but you're actually on mute so I couldn't hear you.

3
00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:43,530
Yes, I can. Now, Christine. Can you hear us now, Andrew? Yes, I can. Okay, wait, then first I was to say that we go into the data sharing IGA and you're going to show your face or not. I just have, yes.

4
00:02:48,090 --> 00:02:48,890
Then we go.

5
00:02:48,890 --> 00:02:51,270
So, there's the Andrew, we know and love.

6
00:02:52,490 --> 00:02:57,770
Hi there. My name is Andrew Burk, I'm the IS Director. I'm here to talk about the

7
00:02:58,210 --> 00:03:04,250
data sharing intergovernmental agreement between Wasco County, Noracore, and City of the

8
00:03:04,250 --> 00:03:11,170
Dalles. The purpose of this agreement is we've been working on a new computer-aided dispatch

9
00:03:11,170 --> 00:03:28,610
and records management system for about the last year now, and we are in the process of setting up an interface between the jail records management system and our records management system that we're building through Prophenix.

10
00:03:29,250 --> 00:03:36,630
And the purpose of this is to enable the communication of data between those two systems.

11
00:03:36,630 --> 00:03:41,890
And so really that's the purpose behind the intergovernmental agreement that you see before us before you.

12
00:03:43,110 --> 00:03:53,690
I've outlined this essentially in the memo and so really we're just here to hopefully move this forward and enable us to create this interface.

13
00:03:55,270 --> 00:03:59,050
All right, thanks Andrew. Questions for Andrew of this item?

14
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:06,320
I don't have a comment, I think this is a fantastic, there's going to be so much better

15
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:11,720
in terms of efficiency operation between, it's going to save us, it's one of those we put

16
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,020
some money out, it's going to save a huge amount of money down the road, highly approved.

17
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:26,720
Just one question or comment, I think I know the answer to, but it doesn't involve OSP

18
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:34,880
who also uses at least NORCOR, but OSP has their own dispatch, OSP has their own records

19
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:35,520
management.

20
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:36,300
I assume.

21
00:04:36,740 --> 00:04:37,280
Is that correct?

22
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:38,000
Correct.

23
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,860
That was the only thing that I saw that I had questions about is whether they needed

24
00:04:43,860 --> 00:04:46,460
to be involved, but I get why they're not.

25
00:04:46,460 --> 00:04:55,640
So, and in the IGA talks, there's a section that talks about costs, but then there's,

26
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:04,380
there's basically, it doesn't list any specific costs and just talks about how costs are just

27
00:05:04,380 --> 00:05:10,560
part of the system that cat RMS anyway, so this doesn't change anything cost-wise, is that correct?

28
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:18,460
Yeah, it's a part of the Profenix project that you guys reviewed a while back.

29
00:05:19,020 --> 00:05:21,980
There may be some additional costs with EIS.

30
00:05:21,980 --> 00:05:24,960
We're still in order to engage in those discussions.

31
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,040
We have to have this agreement in place though.

32
00:05:27,740 --> 00:05:37,960
At some point, after another dozen or more of these contracts and ITAs and all this with CAD RMS,

33
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,780
I'll start to catch on and understand everything about it.

34
00:05:43,060 --> 00:05:44,040
That's all I have, Chair.

35
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,660
Well, I just one more comment if I may.

36
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,900
Then as I noticed, it says that the county will pay the initial cost

37
00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:52,200
and then split it up afterwards.

38
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,320
That's very generous of us.

39
00:05:57,280 --> 00:05:57,580
We're nice.

40
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:58,300
We are.

41
00:05:59,900 --> 00:06:00,560
All right.

42
00:06:00,780 --> 00:06:01,180
Thanks, Andrew.

43
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:06,160
Is this mostly Siege's information that's kind of circulating in this?

44
00:06:06,740 --> 00:06:07,260
Yes, it is.

45
00:06:07,260 --> 00:06:12,580
Okay. All right. Very good. Okay. I have no other questions. Does somebody have a motion?

46
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,800
I could figure out where my motions are here. I would do it, but

47
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,680
that's underneath this. We'll get all this squared away after a while.

48
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:31,160
I move to approve the data sharing of the government agreement, pursuant to R.S. Chapter 190

49
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:36,680
among Wasco County, acting through the Wasco County Sheriff's Office, and Wasco County Information Services.

50
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,200
Northern Oregon Corrections, NORCOR, and the City of the Dallas, acting through the

51
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,500
Dallas Police Department, and authorize the board chair to sign all related documentation.

52
00:06:46,260 --> 00:06:47,080
I second the motion.

53
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:48,160
We have motion.

54
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:48,540
Second.

55
00:06:48,860 --> 00:06:50,520
Any discussion on the motion?

56
00:06:51,740 --> 00:06:52,660
Here, and I know it was a favor.

57
00:06:52,820 --> 00:06:53,160
Say aye.

58
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:53,640
Aye.

59
00:06:54,580 --> 00:06:55,100
Chair votes, yes.

60
00:06:55,300 --> 00:06:55,700
Unanimous.

61
00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:56,080
Okay.

62
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:56,540
Very good.

63
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:57,860
You are still up, Andrew.

64
00:06:58,100 --> 00:06:58,500
I think.

65
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,000
Third Street Security and Access Control.

66
00:07:01,180 --> 00:07:01,560
Upgrade.

67
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:02,860
Yeah.

68
00:07:02,980 --> 00:07:03,280
Thank you.

69
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:10,180
So the other item you have before you, we've been working on really kind of building out and

70
00:07:10,180 --> 00:07:15,940
enhancing security and access controls within the third street building over the past year,

71
00:07:16,140 --> 00:07:22,440
a couple years actually. Part of that has been really also trying to identify how the buildings

72
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:29,500
being used and allowing a little bit of time to pass in order to make informed and good decisions

73
00:07:29,500 --> 00:07:36,560
towards how we enhance the security and so that's this is really the culmination of a number of

74
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:42,480
years of analysis to see how the building is getting used and then also to put in place some

75
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:49,180
security measures that that we don't currently have because there are some potential changes in

76
00:07:49,180 --> 00:07:57,280
the building as well in terms of renovations. We did avoid certain doors etc to help ensure we're

77
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:03,220
duplicating costs down the road as well and so we had a number of people review the list of

78
00:08:03,220 --> 00:08:10,420
doors that we're looking to add. That also requires a enhancement or an upgrade within our core

79
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:20,300
really where we put all of our controller electronics within the system. We have to build some

80
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:26,080
of that out as well in order to accommodate the number of doors that we need to, that we need to.

81
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,940
So that's really what this is about.

82
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:33,140
It also enables us the ability to set up some lockdown procedures and the event that

83
00:08:33,140 --> 00:08:41,340
that is necessary, along with enabling some paths through mechanisms for like buzzing

84
00:08:41,340 --> 00:08:42,120
people in, etc.

85
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:45,840
All right.

86
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:46,380
Thanks, Andrew.

87
00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:47,660
Questions for Andrew?

88
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:50,280
Go ahead.

89
00:08:51,420 --> 00:08:56,060
Andrew, first of all, I appreciate the comment in the memo that you just mentioned.

90
00:08:56,060 --> 00:09:06,440
made in your covering the memo about not including things that are highly likely or planned

91
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:15,920
on being changed in the future. The question I would have is how, so is there a general

92
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:21,560
sense of how many doors or how much additional security upgrade there's going to be after

93
00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:27,260
this upgrade goes or is that just kind of a loaded question because it's kind of a moving

94
00:09:27,260 --> 00:09:34,180
target? A little bit of a moving target, but I don't suspect that it's too many. We're

95
00:09:34,180 --> 00:09:40,200
really trying to hit the high points with this project upgrade here. And then, you know,

96
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:47,340
as either space gets adjusted or becomes available or we're varying various things within the building,

97
00:09:47,340 --> 00:09:49,800
and then we'll have one or two doors

98
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,740
in each of those locations to add to.

99
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,220
I think the key thing here is the controller upgrades.

100
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:02,060
That's kind of the core upgrade that's needed.

101
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,060
And then that enables us to fairly easily

102
00:10:05,060 --> 00:10:10,420
add other doors to the system as we expand.

103
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:12,280
Yeah.

104
00:10:13,860 --> 00:10:16,760
Now that's good that clearly answers my question.

105
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:17,460
I appreciate that.

106
00:10:17,740 --> 00:10:25,620
And then I assume I didn't look through so I should assume it might be in here I'm guessing

107
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:34,180
was this kind of a source kind of a thing or is it something that somebody we've been

108
00:10:34,180 --> 00:10:37,380
working with or did this go out to bid at some point?

109
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:38,200
Yeah.

110
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:46,160
So cook solutions is they've installed and maintained the system themselves.

111
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:54,680
And so they're really the source that we're purchasing from in order to, they know the

112
00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:58,560
system, the continuity of the system, they understand the technicals, they did all the

113
00:10:58,560 --> 00:10:59,280
programming, etc.

114
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:06,360
And so it would be very difficult to bring another vendor in to do all of that stuff.

115
00:11:06,860 --> 00:11:07,980
And more expensive I assume.

116
00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:09,300
Yes.

117
00:11:09,740 --> 00:11:15,860
Yeah, we also have been able to, there's a number of things we're able to do in-house because

118
00:11:15,860 --> 00:11:19,700
as we've over the years developed that relationship.

119
00:11:20,700 --> 00:11:21,700
Awesome, thank you.

120
00:11:21,780 --> 00:11:23,040
That's all the questions I have right now, sure.

121
00:11:23,380 --> 00:11:24,000
Okay, Roger.

122
00:11:24,500 --> 00:11:27,200
Yeah, I had mentioned procurement on it.

123
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,720
What's the timeline for getting that stuff in

124
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,240
or do we have any supply chain problems in that department?

125
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,300
We haven't to date and it's been,

126
00:11:36,380 --> 00:11:39,820
it's usually been a matter of four to six weeks.

127
00:11:39,860 --> 00:11:42,100
I think if memory serves me right,

128
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,420
by the time we're able to get somebody scheduled

129
00:11:44,420 --> 00:11:46,300
and actually doing the work.

130
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,120
Reality is, once we approve this,

131
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,280
then we can begin running wires,

132
00:11:51,580 --> 00:11:53,440
procure and run wires fairly quickly,

133
00:11:53,660 --> 00:11:55,040
and then from there,

134
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,760
we'll get the vendor scheduled

135
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,820
to install the doors and controllers.

136
00:12:01,700 --> 00:12:02,460
Thank you.

137
00:12:04,460 --> 00:12:04,960
Anything else?

138
00:12:05,460 --> 00:12:05,680
That's it.

139
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:06,200
Okay.

140
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:07,940
A couple of questions.

141
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:10,960
You mentioned lockdown, Andrew,

142
00:12:11,260 --> 00:12:12,600
and I'm just curious like,

143
00:12:12,980 --> 00:12:15,140
so it sounds like if there was an event,

144
00:12:15,140 --> 00:12:19,660
And somehow some would be able to push a button or do something that would basically lock

145
00:12:19,660 --> 00:12:20,740
all the outside doors.

146
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:21,840
Correct.

147
00:12:22,060 --> 00:12:30,560
There's two buttons that, two physical buttons that this allows us to do it use.

148
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:37,340
And then there's also the ability to program, soft program into the system, so yes.

149
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,760
And we don't have that currently.

150
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,840
No, it's not built out in the same way.

151
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,720
Okay. All right. And then you mentioned this part of this is going to be replacing the controller.

152
00:12:52,400 --> 00:13:00,520
And I'm curious like, is the controller that we have now, like, kind of maxed out or something in terms of numbers of doors or this is just an upgraded controller?

153
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:16,860
It adds, so this is one of those situations and technology where we are limited by physical space, so each controller can only handle so many doors and we have to be able to add additional controllers in order to handle the doors.

154
00:13:16,860 --> 00:13:31,080
So this our current system is able to handle what we have now we just have to add additional controllers and part of that is we have to put a bigger cabinet for those electronic controllers to sit in.

155
00:13:31,660 --> 00:13:38,360
Okay, so it's adding. Okay, and we can add more. Okay, and then we've talked about this issue before.

156
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:44,200
or, and I'm wondering, I mean, are there, are there like panels that we have out there

157
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:44,460
today?

158
00:13:44,460 --> 00:13:48,920
They're going to be swapped out to new ones or is everything we have today still functional

159
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,180
and we're just adding stuff.

160
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:56,220
Everything we have today is still is just adding stuff that's, when we originally built out

161
00:13:56,220 --> 00:14:01,640
this system, we, we, we originally designed it with the intent of what, what we wanted

162
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,720
to do county wide, not just third street wide.

163
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:10,480
And so it's able to accommodate not only third street, but also the growth we're intending towards

164
00:14:11,260 --> 00:14:16,880
other locations as well. Okay. Good. So is the lockdown function also connected to the

165
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:23,420
courthouse? It can be. They have they have certain functions that are built in as well. Okay.

166
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,900
All right. Thank you very much. I don't have any further questions. Do we have a motion or further

167
00:14:27,900 --> 00:14:34,640
questions? Maybe one other question from the last one is just is there

168
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:41,260
there's some sort of way to keep maybe a county commissioner that's not very technical

169
00:14:41,260 --> 00:14:44,920
logically advance from accidentally locking down the building.

170
00:14:45,420 --> 00:14:49,200
I was looking at the way he said it.

171
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:57,460
We can absolutely support and train any county commissioner as much as necessary.

172
00:14:58,220 --> 00:14:58,500
Awesome.

173
00:14:58,700 --> 00:14:59,080
Thank you.

174
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,360
With that, I'd move to approve the third street building access control systems upgrade for a total cost of 86,000, 286 dollars and 73 cents. And I will seconds. Now, we have motion, a second, any further discussion on the motion. Seeing none, all those in favor say aye. Aye. Chair votes, yes, unanimous. All right. Thank you so much, Andrew. Appreciate the work you do. All right. Oak Park Ranch, Oak Park Ranch Park Project. That seems like too many parks.

175
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,760
Park's. To Parkie,

176
00:15:35,780 --> 00:15:38,940
Oak Ranch RV Park project. She'll

177
00:15:42,220 --> 00:15:46,920
straighten this out. Yeah. Good morning commissioners. Allie

178
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,860
Pulse to 8 Director of the Ministry of Services. Back yet

179
00:15:50,860 --> 00:16:00,480
again regarding Oak Ranch RV Park. Project. Just a little recap

180
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,540
For everyone for the record, 2024,

181
00:16:04,900 --> 00:16:15,160
Wasco County received a notice of grant funding for $1 million to repair and replace the existing RV structure infrastructure at the 159 property.

182
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:21,060
In 2026, OPRD, Oregon State Oregon Parks and Rec,

183
00:16:21,060 --> 00:16:29,560
by staff that this funding would be reallocated to another project. In the state, if we were not able,

184
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:35,320
Wasso County was not able to get through the permitting process and become a shovel ready status

185
00:16:36,020 --> 00:16:44,160
project. To safeguard that funding, staff issued a formal RFP explicitly noting that the project

186
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:52,160
commencement was contingent upon final project execution. Following the competitive solicitation

187
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:59,020
process conduct under Oregon Public Contracting Code, Wastow County received two formal proposals,

188
00:16:59,740 --> 00:17:05,620
an evaluation committee independently scored the submission against the objective criteria

189
00:17:05,620 --> 00:17:13,860
established in the RFP, including qualification, cost, and project timelines. With that press

190
00:17:13,860 --> 00:17:23,280
sign construction LLC earned the highest score. On June 12th of 2026, the county issued

191
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:30,360
a notice of a tent to award this project to Cresline and initiated the mandatory protest

192
00:17:30,360 --> 00:17:37,220
period. No formal protests were received during that statutory process and fulfilling all

193
00:17:37,220 --> 00:17:44,240
state and local procurements and we fulfilled all state and local procurement requirements.

194
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:51,880
During the July 1st and 15th of 2026 board sessions staff presented documentation regarding

195
00:17:51,880 --> 00:18:01,440
the OPRD grant and the proposed project scope grant execution and match the board approved

196
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:09,940
the required local match of a minimum of close to $884,900 and authorize the execution of the

197
00:18:09,940 --> 00:18:18,940
million dollar OPR D grant agreement and that was subsequently approved through the DOJ Department

198
00:18:18,940 --> 00:18:25,480
of Justice and we do have a fully executed grant agreement now with Wastow County for that amount.

199
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:33,000
The board also reviewed four project options and selected the original proposal with which

200
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:39,160
included a larger ADA assessable restroom, landscaping, fire pits, and picnic tables

201
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:49,820
for a total product amount of $2,568,866 dollars.

202
00:18:49,820 --> 00:18:58,360
So based on these prior decisions, staff respectfully request the Board of County Commission take the following action.

203
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:09,300
Approved the construction contract with Cressline Construction Company LLC in the mouth of $2,568,866 dollars.

204
00:19:10,140 --> 00:19:17,140
And also authorized Chief Administrative Officer Tyler Stone to execute necessary contract amendments and

205
00:19:17,140 --> 00:19:23,220
exchange orders within the approved project budget, a contingency in accordance with applicable

206
00:19:23,220 --> 00:19:25,020
public contracting regulations.

207
00:19:27,900 --> 00:19:28,860
Any questions?

208
00:19:31,290 --> 00:19:31,450
No.

209
00:19:31,530 --> 00:19:32,090
Looks like we're good.

210
00:19:32,210 --> 00:19:32,390
All right.

211
00:19:32,410 --> 00:19:32,890
All in favor.

212
00:19:33,350 --> 00:19:33,510
Yeah.

213
00:19:33,990 --> 00:19:34,470
Thanks.

214
00:19:35,970 --> 00:19:36,930
Just kidding.

215
00:19:37,350 --> 00:19:42,350
I did want to reiterate my position on this, which I spoke as a member of the audience and

216
00:19:42,350 --> 00:19:44,510
I'm very happy to speak as a member of the commission.

217
00:19:45,170 --> 00:19:46,210
We got a gift here.

218
00:19:46,210 --> 00:19:51,870
When we got a million dollar grant and we got the Gorge Commission approval with no objections

219
00:19:51,870 --> 00:19:56,310
from the friends and that is, you know, you're going to get that again which is why I strongly

220
00:19:56,310 --> 00:20:01,910
supported doing the maximum that we possibly could with what we were given. So, delighted to

221
00:20:01,910 --> 00:20:07,910
have that result. All right. Questions from any other questions?

222
00:20:10,890 --> 00:20:13,890
I mean, I think all of my questions have been answered.

223
00:20:15,630 --> 00:20:19,530
I'm guessing a few questions are upcoming, so we'll see if that eliciting questions

224
00:20:19,530 --> 00:20:19,930
for me.

225
00:20:20,470 --> 00:20:20,730
Okay.

226
00:20:22,630 --> 00:20:23,730
I guess I have questions.

227
00:20:24,510 --> 00:20:29,770
So no, I don't, I just, I have maybe some questions, but I just want to make sure we understand

228
00:20:29,770 --> 00:20:30,610
what we're getting into.

229
00:20:30,830 --> 00:20:36,970
So basically with this approval, we're kind of, because it's a design-build contract, they're

230
00:20:36,970 --> 00:20:39,190
All of the details are not worked out,

231
00:20:39,310 --> 00:20:42,750
meaning that all of the minutiae of specifications

232
00:20:43,150 --> 00:20:45,810
and types of toilet fixtures and all these kind of things

233
00:20:45,810 --> 00:20:48,330
are still to be worked out kind of in the process

234
00:20:48,330 --> 00:20:50,550
and working with the contractor.

235
00:20:50,910 --> 00:20:52,770
So I just want to make that clear

236
00:20:52,770 --> 00:20:55,410
that there's still lots of work to do

237
00:20:55,410 --> 00:20:57,810
and lots of, so this is a legal document

238
00:20:57,810 --> 00:21:00,230
that we're entering into with the press line,

239
00:21:00,290 --> 00:21:03,690
but that doesn't mean there's still tons

240
00:21:03,690 --> 00:21:04,770
and tons of work to do.

241
00:21:04,770 --> 00:21:13,870
So, the one question I had was related to the approval from our planning office, there

242
00:21:13,870 --> 00:21:17,890
were conditions of approval on there, and I just want to make sure that Cressline is

243
00:21:17,890 --> 00:21:25,170
well aware what those conditions are, and they've acknowledged that none of those impact

244
00:21:25,170 --> 00:21:26,430
their proposal.

245
00:21:27,570 --> 00:21:27,770
Correct.

246
00:21:28,050 --> 00:21:28,190
Okay.

247
00:21:28,490 --> 00:21:28,630
All right.

248
00:21:28,970 --> 00:21:32,850
They have received the Notice of Decision with the list of conditions.

249
00:21:33,610 --> 00:21:42,230
Okay. And then one thing, I had a question, just in their proposal, it has $30,000 for

250
00:21:42,230 --> 00:21:49,110
archaeological compliance and SHIPO coordination. So what, I guess my question slashed a little

251
00:21:49,110 --> 00:21:52,670
bit of concern, is that enough resource? I mean, not that we know, right, because we

252
00:21:52,670 --> 00:21:59,230
don't know what's going to happen. But let's say, for example, more issues run or run into

253
00:21:59,230 --> 00:22:06,970
related to that? Do they cover that or is that somehow? How do we anticipate that being resolved?

254
00:22:07,310 --> 00:22:12,290
Good question and we don't know until we're out there. However, in the notice of decision,

255
00:22:12,550 --> 00:22:23,630
there are guidelines that we have to follow based on those conditions. For instance, finding a bone

256
00:22:23,630 --> 00:22:32,210
versus finding I don't know a sphere would be two different things we would have to and there's also

257
00:22:34,070 --> 00:22:38,990
instructions on how we would have to mark that out if Cressline would have to stop

258
00:22:38,990 --> 00:22:44,930
if they can keep going and start working on a different section of the property while that was

259
00:22:44,930 --> 00:22:52,830
being investigated. Okay I guess I'm just wondering like and I'm thinking of it in the context of the

260
00:22:52,830 --> 00:23:01,010
city doing their first three project currently. And as they've entered into the project and excavated,

261
00:23:01,130 --> 00:23:05,910
they've basically essentially shut the project down for quite some time over our archaeological

262
00:23:05,910 --> 00:23:11,490
things. And there's obviously costs related to that. So I just want to I guess my question is

263
00:23:12,070 --> 00:23:18,290
if that something like that was to happen is that on the contractor, is that something that we'll

264
00:23:18,290 --> 00:23:20,830
be looking at later as a change order.

265
00:23:21,290 --> 00:23:26,910
Yeah, that would definitely be something that we would discuss with a press line once we

266
00:23:26,910 --> 00:23:30,050
get to the point that we can to press those things with press line.

267
00:23:30,330 --> 00:23:30,510
Okay.

268
00:23:30,910 --> 00:23:35,950
Because I know that in talking with them, they had a certain approach to the project that

269
00:23:35,950 --> 00:23:42,770
was going to potentially, you know, need less digging, which is usually when you have

270
00:23:42,770 --> 00:23:43,730
archaeological things.

271
00:23:43,730 --> 00:23:46,290
and I'm just curious, is that still their approach?

272
00:23:46,590 --> 00:23:48,110
Is there a approach changed yet?

273
00:23:48,510 --> 00:23:51,070
The last I spoke with Crestline last week,

274
00:23:51,070 --> 00:23:52,370
this is still their approach.

275
00:23:52,650 --> 00:23:53,590
Okay. All right.

276
00:23:55,750 --> 00:23:59,790
And then, well, so just for our properties purposes,

277
00:24:00,070 --> 00:24:00,770
I mean, you look at this,

278
00:24:01,090 --> 00:24:02,390
the biggest thing is the ADA,

279
00:24:02,390 --> 00:24:03,930
Restroom and Charif少ly.

280
00:24:04,030 --> 00:24:07,490
So obviously there's $9,000 or $41,000 in that one.

281
00:24:07,490 --> 00:24:09,210
So I think there's a lot of work to be done

282
00:24:09,210 --> 00:24:11,830
to determine kind of what that's going to look like.

283
00:24:12,330 --> 00:24:13,350
A lot of that's going to happen

284
00:24:13,350 --> 00:24:18,790
in this first phase and I think that's something that we should be aware of. So there's our first phase

285
00:24:18,790 --> 00:24:25,370
of the project which is designed so and then after design is done it comes back to us and then we

286
00:24:25,370 --> 00:24:32,250
look at it to determine is this what we wanted is this and then there'll be a price associated with

287
00:24:32,250 --> 00:24:37,150
a specific price associated with it at that point in time which we will be approving correct.

288
00:24:37,930 --> 00:25:06,410
Well, right now we're approving the yes, so we can't we will come back if that's what you would like and I can share those details with you for sure, but I mean they're going to complete that because it says right here, it says basically as you go through it, you know, there's phase one is design phase and there's a certain price to that and then construction and then it's contingent on county approval. So I'm assuming it will come back to us to make a decision about yes, we're moving forward with this design.

289
00:25:06,410 --> 00:25:08,230
Is that right?

290
00:25:09,170 --> 00:25:10,590
Well, that's why I asked if it was-

291
00:25:10,590 --> 00:25:11,550
Listen, saying yes.

292
00:25:11,890 --> 00:25:13,190
You guys are like waffling.

293
00:25:14,470 --> 00:25:15,030
Okay.

294
00:25:15,670 --> 00:25:17,050
We're going to approve this.

295
00:25:17,390 --> 00:25:19,610
You know, approve it again when it comes back to us.

296
00:25:19,930 --> 00:25:27,270
So in the re-gaming Tyler, I'm asking for Tyler to have some authority to make those decisions

297
00:25:27,270 --> 00:25:30,130
and change orders as those things progress.

298
00:25:30,610 --> 00:25:33,830
Okay. And I would see that more when we get into the construction phase.

299
00:25:33,830 --> 00:25:37,690
but I think between now and the end of design,

300
00:25:37,790 --> 00:25:40,570
I guess my personal position would be,

301
00:25:40,670 --> 00:25:42,750
I want to see what they come up with the design.

302
00:25:42,750 --> 00:25:44,930
I want to see what they come up with the hard costs

303
00:25:44,930 --> 00:25:45,770
and all that kind of stuff.

304
00:25:45,910 --> 00:25:50,610
So we can make decisions on whether we support that or not.

305
00:25:50,750 --> 00:25:51,910
I mean, we can be involved.

306
00:25:52,150 --> 00:25:54,270
I don't want to say wait till then and then show a toast

307
00:25:54,270 --> 00:25:55,650
and then whatever.

308
00:25:55,850 --> 00:25:58,010
But I think that's an important component for us

309
00:25:58,010 --> 00:26:00,450
to kind of say, okay, we're still good to go.

310
00:26:00,450 --> 00:26:14,990
I mean, for example, if you came back and it was 3.7 million, they were proposing 3.7 million like now, but if it comes back and instead of 2.8, it's, you know, 1.97, who knows, I mean there's a lot of stuff that can happen in that process.

311
00:26:15,530 --> 00:26:16,470
I'd be happy to bring about.

312
00:26:16,710 --> 00:26:18,150
Okay, that's what I would prefer.

313
00:26:18,870 --> 00:26:19,410
Sounds good.

314
00:26:19,910 --> 00:26:20,150
Yeah.

315
00:26:20,870 --> 00:26:21,630
Sounds good to me.

316
00:26:21,790 --> 00:26:22,450
Okay, all right.

317
00:26:23,070 --> 00:26:24,590
All right, that's all I had.

318
00:26:25,510 --> 00:26:27,190
Anybody have anything else?

319
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,560
No, I think if they come back with a design with Orange and Purple Stripes on it, we'll

320
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:35,580
probably turn that down.

321
00:26:35,980 --> 00:26:39,080
So, maybe we'll swap the option, please, we'll, indeed.

322
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:41,040
Okay.

323
00:26:41,140 --> 00:26:41,620
Do we have a motion?

324
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:47,680
I'd move to approve the construction contract with Questline Construction Company LLC in the

325
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:54,880
amount of $2,568,866 in authorized chief administrative officer Tyler Stone to approve

326
00:26:54,880 --> 00:27:01,520
necessary change orders to the original contract based on the Crestline constructions final design.

327
00:27:02,500 --> 00:27:06,220
I will definitely second that. All right, motion a second. Any further discussion?

328
00:27:07,900 --> 00:27:12,740
Hearing none, all those in favor? Hi. Chair votes, yes, unanimous. All right,

329
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,960
thanks. Thank you. Thank you for having me, Sally. Yeah, I know it's been a lot.

330
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:25,780
and it's not over yet okay we are going to why don't we we can quickly do the EDC

331
00:27:25,780 --> 00:27:28,820
appointments since Andrew's here and I'm sure you probably don't want to stay

332
00:27:28,820 --> 00:27:34,500
until for the rest of our meeting so Andrew welcome what are we got here good

333
00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:40,160
morning commissioners Andrew Danies I'm deputy director of my head I also staff

334
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,660
the Bosque County Economic Development Commission the request in front of you

335
00:27:44,660 --> 00:27:51,840
this morning is for an appointment to the EDC. This is for position 6, which is

336
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:59,240
reserved for chambers of commerce. Historically Lisa Farquharson from the

337
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,940
Dallas area chamber of commerce has been in that position however she

338
00:28:03,940 --> 00:28:08,360
retired this summer and so we're asking to appoint her replacement.

339
00:28:10,120 --> 00:28:16,520
Replacement, we're requesting is Lynn Cox, who is the new Dalles area chamber CEO.

340
00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:19,260
Lynn is a Dalles native.

341
00:28:19,460 --> 00:28:32,640
She grew up here, moved to the Portland area where she enjoyed a nearly 25-year career at Intel, moved back with her husband last summer to become the tourism director of Explore the Dalles.

342
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:38,640
and then when Lisa retired this summer, Lynn was promoted to become the new

343
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:44,960
Dallas area chamber CEO and so we're requesting that she's appointed to the

344
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:51,900
remainder Lisa's term which runs through December 31st, 2028. All right. Very

345
00:28:51,900 --> 00:28:58,060
good questions for Andrew. No, it sounds like an absolute positive move. So thanks

346
00:28:58,060 --> 00:29:04,700
for that. Yeah. I think it's great. I'm going to make the assumption since she filled it out

347
00:29:04,700 --> 00:29:09,680
that she's willing to do this. That is correct. Yes. Yes. Yeah. No. Thank you. I'd appreciate it.

348
00:29:10,100 --> 00:29:17,100
All right. I have no questions. The motion. All right. I'll move to a point order number 26-035.

349
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:28,040
Appointing ring calls to the Waskow County Economic Development Commission representing City of

350
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,040
Chair votes.

351
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:29,220
Yes.

352
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:30,720
Thank you so much, Andrew.

353
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:31,460
Thank you.

354
00:29:31,620 --> 00:29:31,860
Thank you.

355
00:29:33,380 --> 00:29:34,340
All right.

356
00:29:34,500 --> 00:29:36,760
We are right on time.

357
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:37,440
We're a minute late.

358
00:29:37,540 --> 00:29:43,040
Actually, we're going to go on to our outdoor mass gathering permit for the harvest festival.

359
00:29:43,260 --> 00:29:44,220
And I'm going to read the script.

360
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:56,440
The public hearing is now open for the purpose of considering planning file number 921-26-000042

361
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,920
PLNG, a request for outdoor mask gathering permit for

362
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,900
An agricultural and education event, which includes games, music called Harvest Festival, 2026, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on August 28th through August 30th, 2026, with attendees up to 2,500, including staff and volunteers. The hearing would be open to public testimony. The procedure we're going to follow is the planning division will present the staff report and recommendation. Police fire road, emergency building codes and health officials may provide comments

363
00:30:29,900 --> 00:30:35,100
and recommendations, the applicant may provide a presentation if they choose to do so.

364
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:44,120
The public including technical, not sure what technical is, but will be able to provide

365
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,220
testimony in favor and in opposition.

366
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,740
The applicant will have an opportunity to rebut other testimony, then the board will deliberate

367
00:30:51,740 --> 00:30:54,320
and make a motion for approval or denial.

368
00:30:54,980 --> 00:30:59,140
Let's start with the disclosure of interest, that's part a contact and potential conflict.

369
00:30:59,140 --> 00:31:05,240
Does any commissioner wish to disqualify themselves for any personal or financial interests in this matter?

370
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:14,600
Not me, let me know where I. Does any commissioner wish to report any significant x-pay partay or pre-hearing contacts?

371
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,280
All right, neither am I.

372
00:31:19,580 --> 00:31:26,020
Staff contact is not x-partay. It does not need to be disclosed. Will staff please present their report?

373
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,400
You can introduce yourself guys.

374
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,100
Thank you, Chair and Commissioners. Good morning, everyone.

375
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,280
I'm Flueh Eckerd. I'm Dustin Williams, Associate Planner,

376
00:31:35,540 --> 00:31:39,880
Bosco County Planning Division. March 17th, 2026,

377
00:31:40,260 --> 00:31:43,560
Bosco County Planning Division received a request for an outdoor mass

378
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:48,680
gathering from applicant Anthony Stelzer. This application was processed and

379
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:53,860
reviewed using applicable standards from our outdoor mass gathering ordinance,

380
00:31:53,860 --> 00:32:00,760
22-003. In this process, Moscow County Planning Division staff has been the liaison between

381
00:32:01,300 --> 00:32:07,140
applicant and the applicable fire, police, health, and road safety technical experts.

382
00:32:10,470 --> 00:32:14,830
All right, the request is to permit an agricultural and education event titled the

383
00:32:14,830 --> 00:32:23,130
Harvest Festival 2026. The date of the event is August 8th through August 30th, 2026.

384
00:32:24,150 --> 00:32:29,250
This year, a maximum attendance is going to be at 2,500, including staff and volunteers.

385
00:32:30,310 --> 00:32:35,970
And this is located off of Duffer Valley Road, Southwest of Duffer, which we'll show you the map.

386
00:32:37,690 --> 00:32:47,750
So it's out number 10010. It's 29.5 acre tax plot, and it's in the exclusive form use agricultural zone.

387
00:32:50,810 --> 00:32:51,130
All right.

388
00:32:52,410 --> 00:32:58,530
So, we have a site plan that shows overall layout of the event. Access is going to be provided

389
00:32:58,530 --> 00:33:06,390
by Dufour Valley and Wolfrun Roads with entrances and exits shown in red. They'll have a single paved

390
00:33:06,390 --> 00:33:12,290
driveway that's going to be reserved for the first responders to ensure quick access.

391
00:33:13,850 --> 00:33:18,170
There are some emergency water locations depicted with the red hydrant.

392
00:33:19,290 --> 00:33:29,150
The purple is depicting children's activities, blue is depicting vendor location, yellow

393
00:33:29,150 --> 00:33:35,730
depicts bathroom, hand-washing and waste collection locations, orange is the check-in booth where

394
00:33:35,730 --> 00:33:42,770
they're going to tally the number of attendees, brown depicts the speaker tent, demo tent and

395
00:33:42,770 --> 00:33:49,470
and food tent location and there is a red star there depicts the emergency gathering location.

396
00:33:51,070 --> 00:34:00,930
The event parking is depicted on the west side there with car symbols with the parking sign there.

397
00:34:06,010 --> 00:34:13,590
Here's just a list of the criteria that we look at when we go through the application and the conditions of approval.

398
00:34:14,390 --> 00:34:19,510
The criteria concerns requisite state laws pertaining to health safety and welfare.

399
00:34:24,690 --> 00:34:31,970
Basically, just outlining our notification process, March 17th, 2026 application was submitted

400
00:34:31,970 --> 00:34:34,030
to the Wasco County Planning Division.

401
00:34:34,930 --> 00:34:41,650
As I said, on May 21st, 2026, we provided that application to relevant agencies.

402
00:34:42,790 --> 00:34:43,830
There's a list there.

403
00:34:44,950 --> 00:34:50,610
on July 21st notice a public hearing was mailed out to surrounding landowners and other

404
00:34:50,610 --> 00:34:59,030
applicable agencies and on July 22nd, 2026, there was a notice in the newspaper, Columbia

405
00:34:59,030 --> 00:35:01,830
Gorge News, for the hearing today.

406
00:35:05,220 --> 00:35:09,900
So just to go over quickly some of the comments, we obviously we send this out to experts and

407
00:35:09,900 --> 00:35:16,220
some comments we get back for review criteria that might be outside of our ordinance.

408
00:35:16,220 --> 00:35:22,180
In this case, we did have some review criteria regarding an RV park license.

409
00:35:23,240 --> 00:35:26,280
So real quickly, this was June 17th.

410
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,040
We had building codes, Kylie Van Orman.

411
00:35:28,780 --> 00:35:33,140
She made some comments in relation to an RV park license that was going to be required.

412
00:35:34,340 --> 00:35:40,000
Just to go over real quickly, the comments were we would need a detailed site map like we

413
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:45,020
do for permanent parks, showing a 10 foot space in requirement between RVs and tents as

414
00:35:45,020 --> 00:35:48,980
as well as setbacks from property lines and other structures, sites would also need

415
00:35:48,980 --> 00:35:52,040
to be identified and somehow marked off like by spray paint.

416
00:35:52,860 --> 00:35:59,200
We would need to see access for campers and emergency responders if there are not camp

417
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:05,440
ground roads, they do need to develop them, but they do not need to develop them, but they

418
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,900
need to show the proposed pass of travel.

419
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:13,420
We will need to make sure that Wade from OSFM has a chance to comment on the park.

420
00:36:13,420 --> 00:36:19,360
They must show adequate toilet facilities and trash containers not only for the RB campers, but for the festival goers.

421
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,220
I do not have authority over anything, but the number of toilets and trash cans for the RV park.

422
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:26,180
So those were the comments.

423
00:36:27,460 --> 00:36:35,860
We're basically where the applicant has been engaged in that process of getting the applicable permits with building codes as of today.

424
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:37,660
So they're still going through that process.

425
00:36:38,740 --> 00:36:40,980
And I might understand that there will be an inspection.

426
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:48,040
at some point. Okay, so the next comment, those relevant, comes from North Central Public

427
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:54,240
Health, Polyglondale. On July 10th, she made comments in relation to the RV Park License

428
00:36:54,240 --> 00:37:00,040
and Food Vendor License. It's basically, we connected with her on Wednesday and provide

429
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:04,980
the application materials for both the RV Park License and the temporary event, Food Vendor

430
00:37:04,980 --> 00:37:12,700
license, clarify that Oregon Administrative Rule, OAR-333-031, does not define a temporary

431
00:37:12,700 --> 00:37:17,880
RV park. Any park establish for use, whether temporary or permanent, still requires a public

432
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:22,620
health license. We're working with her now on the application so that once building

433
00:37:22,620 --> 00:37:26,740
cause the proof of the RV park plan, we can move her through our process quickly.

434
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,860
Regarding food service, we explained to Bethany that even though food would be paired at the

435
00:37:31,860 --> 00:37:36,280
farm stand kitchen and transported to the event site serving food at a separate location

436
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:40,720
requires a temporary event license through us. We're moving her through the application

437
00:37:40,720 --> 00:37:46,240
process now. So she's ready by the event date. And again, our understanding is that she's

438
00:37:46,240 --> 00:37:52,240
or they are applicant Bethany has been in talks with getting those appropriate permits

439
00:37:52,240 --> 00:37:57,540
through public health. So we'll move on to next slide here. Water.

440
00:37:58,900 --> 00:38:03,700
So, we didn't have any new comments from the water master for this year, but we did have

441
00:38:03,700 --> 00:38:04,540
a comment last year.

442
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,920
I think it's still relevant when it comes to the amount of water.

443
00:38:07,420 --> 00:38:13,500
Water is actually something that's regulated by our ordinance for the OMG.

444
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,320
And this is not something that really came from an outside entity.

445
00:38:20,140 --> 00:38:24,460
But his comment last year was from a water perspective, but consider this a commercial

446
00:38:24,460 --> 00:38:27,580
so they can use a maximum of 5,000 gallons per day

447
00:38:27,580 --> 00:38:29,680
from the well without a water right.

448
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,780
In addition to the bottle water provided by the farm stand,

449
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,300
they may need to have Bishop's annotation

450
00:38:35,300 --> 00:38:37,080
provided additional potable water,

451
00:38:37,260 --> 00:38:38,560
given the number of people attending.

452
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:40,260
That was his comment.

453
00:38:40,260 --> 00:38:41,880
If we go to the next slide here,

454
00:38:42,740 --> 00:38:45,160
we can see our requirements at the top there.

455
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:47,420
These have changed slightly this year

456
00:38:47,420 --> 00:38:48,760
because there are a number of attendees

457
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,900
went from 1500 to 2500.

458
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:56,680
So the math is basically 12 gallons of drinking water per person per day.

459
00:38:58,100 --> 00:39:04,300
That's 30,000 gallons in this case, and then it does ask for storage facilities for

460
00:39:04,300 --> 00:39:07,560
a minimum of 5 gallons of drinking water per person per day.

461
00:39:08,580 --> 00:39:15,960
That comes out to be 12,500 gallons, and an amount of drinking water equal to one day usage

462
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:20,060
and reserve, which would be 30,000 gallons.

463
00:39:20,060 --> 00:39:25,940
So, they provided that they're going to have potable water from two sources, the well

464
00:39:25,940 --> 00:39:30,340
water, as the water master indicated, you get 5,000 per day out of that.

465
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,840
And then they're going to have multiple pallets of water.

466
00:39:35,020 --> 00:39:40,760
They do have a couple other additional sources of what I think we would consider non-potable

467
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:49,300
water reservoir, which has more than enough water for non-drinking purposes, fire safety,

468
00:39:49,300 --> 00:39:53,800
hand-washing sanitation, things like that. I'm sure that could be used for that.

469
00:39:54,040 --> 00:40:00,360
And then an on-site water truck with 2,000 gallons is the plan this year again.

470
00:40:00,820 --> 00:40:07,400
So, you know, ultimately, that's the deficiency in the application respect to the on-site

471
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,400
portable water. They're not quite meeting that number.

472
00:40:12,140 --> 00:40:18,220
Last year's event, we were able to get a variance basically from the board and respect to that.

473
00:40:18,220 --> 00:40:21,500
And so this year's event would also require that.

474
00:40:21,660 --> 00:40:24,260
The only difference is the amount of people has increased.

475
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,640
So we go to that slide here.

476
00:40:32,540 --> 00:40:35,280
So this is just approval criteria.

477
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:42,680
This is where we go over this kind of your authority to approve or deny.

478
00:40:45,870 --> 00:40:47,490
B is kind of important.

479
00:40:47,490 --> 00:40:54,250
This is where we consider, you know, you may consider and require an applicant to comply with a condition submitted by public officials.

480
00:40:54,250 --> 00:40:57,810
So this is where we get things like the RV park that comes in.

481
00:40:58,510 --> 00:41:02,230
And you guys can consider that information even though it's outside of our ordinance.

482
00:41:03,650 --> 00:41:05,310
Alright, go to the next slide then.

483
00:41:06,450 --> 00:41:11,330
So your options are to approve the application except the proposed conditions.

484
00:41:12,510 --> 00:41:18,570
approve the application with amended findings and conditions, deny the application with

485
00:41:18,570 --> 00:41:22,030
amended findings that the request does not comply with applicable health and safety

486
00:41:22,030 --> 00:41:30,190
regulations, contain in our ordinance. If additional information is needed, keep the evidence

487
00:41:30,190 --> 00:41:35,290
record open and continue to hear into date and time certain to allow the submit all of additional

488
00:41:35,290 --> 00:41:40,910
information or close the evidence record and continue to hear into a date and time certain

489
00:41:40,910 --> 00:41:46,450
allow the submittal of additional information. So at this point you just take questions,

490
00:41:46,850 --> 00:41:51,330
we may have some technical experts that can talk about some other things if they're here.

491
00:41:52,710 --> 00:41:55,070
Okay, very good. Questions of staff at this point.

492
00:41:58,390 --> 00:42:10,110
Is there like an after event review that you guys do for just have knowledge and follow up

493
00:42:10,110 --> 00:42:15,430
like after last year's event to kind of see how things went and so forth.

494
00:42:15,850 --> 00:42:19,550
Yeah, we do get comments after the event occasionally.

495
00:42:20,090 --> 00:42:26,670
Those go into the record and that's just something that definitely can make an impact

496
00:42:26,670 --> 00:42:32,290
on future recommendations for that event if there's negative feedback, maybe other things

497
00:42:32,290 --> 00:42:36,870
to address, even positive feedback, if that's what we were to get, it'd be great.

498
00:42:36,870 --> 00:42:42,910
We would definitely have those lines of communication open well after the event and include in our record

499
00:42:43,510 --> 00:42:47,570
Any of the comments. That's what we do this whole process is kind of

500
00:42:47,570 --> 00:42:54,330
Tally and keep track of all the different entities and all the different things that might come in and it all comes through us

501
00:42:54,330 --> 00:42:59,770
So we can keep a record and do you recall after last year's event with what were were the comments?

502
00:43:00,070 --> 00:43:04,350
Yeah positive or is there some negative was their concern about the water?

503
00:43:04,350 --> 00:43:10,630
It was quiet, so we didn't receive any comments in any way, which is good.

504
00:43:11,850 --> 00:43:16,810
So we didn't hear that there was any issue with the variance they received last year about

505
00:43:16,810 --> 00:43:17,310
the water.

506
00:43:17,810 --> 00:43:23,150
I think the general consensus was 12 gallons of water per person was a little more than

507
00:43:23,630 --> 00:43:25,430
most people would think anyone could drink.

508
00:43:26,030 --> 00:43:31,250
We didn't get any comments back about any negative aspect of that.

509
00:43:31,250 --> 00:43:37,490
I would agree that no comments is usually good because I found that people are more likely

510
00:43:37,490 --> 00:43:44,210
to comment on negative things than give positive feedback, but that's on lots of things.

511
00:43:45,710 --> 00:43:53,310
And there's no, I didn't see in here and I'm going to make the assumption again that some

512
00:43:53,310 --> 00:43:57,270
of the special events, some of these outdoor mask gathering events that we've looked

513
00:43:57,270 --> 00:44:07,290
that include something to do with approving on fire, approving fire works, that sort of thing,

514
00:44:07,410 --> 00:44:15,490
and there's nothing in here regarding fire or fireworks. I assume that they're very opposed to

515
00:44:15,490 --> 00:44:20,810
fire at this point at the end of August. Yeah, we did not receive any comment from fire, but that

516
00:44:20,810 --> 00:44:27,650
Now as large as I'm sure, in part, there was really nothing to consider that as far as

517
00:44:27,650 --> 00:44:33,950
the event itself, other than just the people there, making sure he had good ways in and

518
00:44:33,950 --> 00:44:34,250
out.

519
00:44:34,550 --> 00:44:39,590
Obviously, the event of a fire is important, regardless if you have a fire works, but yeah,

520
00:44:39,670 --> 00:44:43,910
nothing like that in the application, no birdie, have anything.

521
00:44:44,650 --> 00:44:45,090
Okay.

522
00:44:46,130 --> 00:44:47,250
That's all I have at the moment.

523
00:44:48,430 --> 00:44:48,590
All right.

524
00:44:48,670 --> 00:44:49,250
Roger, you have anything?

525
00:44:49,250 --> 00:44:59,970
Yeah, a couple of things. Well, it's similar on the fire. I was a little concerned because it said they hadn't consulted with any fire department, but also said that we do not allow any campfires or smoking plan to have easy water.

526
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:31,370
Access. So, yeah, it would be nice if there were at least some consultation in my line, but if we've had good experience in the past and we've not had any problems, we can probably go ahead with this. Yeah, we certainly, you know, provide the application to the fire experts locally there and had not received any comment back. Okay. That's good to know. Yeah. Thank you. Anything else, brother? No, that's it. Okay. Um, how about on that team point, like law enforcement, so diverse, I mean, our sheriff's office, he looked at it, they experienced it.

527
00:45:31,370 --> 00:45:35,890
last year. Did they have any comments at all? Yeah, nothing. He asked Elaine asked if he needed to be

528
00:45:35,890 --> 00:45:40,990
here for this one. You didn't have any comments. So I said, you know, this feeling optional. So yeah,

529
00:45:41,010 --> 00:45:46,230
an opportunity to really make any mention. And we had not heard that there were any issues. Okay.

530
00:45:46,810 --> 00:45:53,530
Very good. Okay. Um, just one other comment. I will note that looking through the application in

531
00:45:53,530 --> 00:45:59,490
the, in the packet. I appreciate all the emails showing that you reached out to all these entities

532
00:45:59,490 --> 00:46:10,370
and gave them the opportunity, so like there was, I just passed that to the Department of Forestry.

533
00:46:10,490 --> 00:46:19,370
There was, back in May, there was a request to fill out and that sort of thing,

534
00:46:19,450 --> 00:46:21,430
so everybody had their opportunity.

535
00:46:21,870 --> 00:46:28,910
So again, I assume silence is kind of approval versus if somebody had the concerns

536
00:46:28,910 --> 00:46:31,290
they would have made it a priority.

537
00:46:31,810 --> 00:46:35,070
None of these people are bashful and they would have spoken up.

538
00:46:35,570 --> 00:46:40,650
Yeah, big part of our process here is getting in contact with the experts and allowing

539
00:46:40,650 --> 00:46:45,090
them to, you know, processing that, you know, allow that to go to the record.

540
00:46:45,410 --> 00:46:49,850
So I just wanted to add a comment that these people have been really good neighbors for nothing

541
00:46:49,850 --> 00:46:50,110
else.

542
00:46:50,230 --> 00:46:52,570
Opening up a grocery store downtown the Dels.

543
00:46:52,650 --> 00:46:53,310
Thank you so much.

544
00:46:56,810 --> 00:47:02,520
Okay, I stay there, gentlemen, and we're going to ask if there's any additional comments

545
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:07,220
that police, fire, road, emergency, building codes, or public health officials, which

546
00:47:07,220 --> 00:47:07,560
are brought.

547
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:11,100
Is there anybody here from any of those entities and do they have any comments?

548
00:47:12,180 --> 00:47:14,340
I don't see anybody in the room.

549
00:47:14,460 --> 00:47:15,200
How about online?

550
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:16,080
I see

551
00:47:19,850 --> 00:47:21,750
Kylee's here, but she made comments already.

552
00:47:23,650 --> 00:47:25,110
Is there anybody here?

553
00:47:25,770 --> 00:47:26,030
Okay.

554
00:47:26,030 --> 00:47:30,770
Okay. Alright, we're going to assume there's no other comments from those folks. How about

555
00:47:30,770 --> 00:47:35,450
we're going to go to the applicant or their representatives and do you wish to present

556
00:47:35,450 --> 00:47:37,050
anything as well?

557
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:49,480
Okay, Bethany, so you are able, I think you have to unmute yourself.

558
00:47:55,030 --> 00:47:55,650
Hold on,

559
00:47:55,730 --> 00:47:56,730
we're working on something.

560
00:47:59,940 --> 00:48:02,320
There we go. I think you're good to go, Bethany.

561
00:48:03,620 --> 00:48:11,360
Yeah, so I just want to thank Dustin and everybody's help for getting this permit and applications

562
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:15,960
put through and getting all the details. I know this time we had a few more departments,

563
00:48:17,100 --> 00:48:22,460
you know, with the RV parking lot situation and the different things and it's been really great

564
00:48:22,460 --> 00:48:25,820
having everybody's help. So I just appreciate everybody making it possible.

565
00:48:28,660 --> 00:48:29,560
All right, did you have any

566
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:32,960
any comments on anything that was presented today, any issues?

567
00:48:34,180 --> 00:48:35,560
No, I didn't want to mention two.

568
00:48:35,700 --> 00:48:37,820
We'll have our security team,

569
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,160
Rover security out of Permiston.

570
00:48:40,420 --> 00:48:42,840
They're going to be bringing a team of four up here

571
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:43,660
to help with that.

572
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:46,300
We didn't have any incidents last year,

573
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,320
but I like being prepared.

574
00:48:49,140 --> 00:48:53,900
And so they also have, you know, just first response training

575
00:48:53,900 --> 00:48:56,460
and things like that, so we should be well prepared.

576
00:48:56,460 --> 00:49:02,180
Okay, did you have any comments on the water situation at all because basically it looks

577
00:49:02,180 --> 00:49:07,440
like the application is not meeting the minimum water requirements and last year we made

578
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:14,380
an exception. Is that right Dustin? Yeah. Okay, it was like 12 gallons. It's a lot of water.

579
00:49:14,620 --> 00:49:19,980
It is a lot of water. So I'm curious Bethany, if you like your experience, what was your experience

580
00:49:19,980 --> 00:49:24,420
last year and what is your expectation this year and anything else for us?

581
00:49:25,660 --> 00:49:29,640
Well I'll be honest I don't want to waste water. It's my thing. So last year we had our

582
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:34,780
5000 gallons from the well plus we had bottled water. I'm going to do the same thing this year

583
00:49:34,780 --> 00:49:40,960
and I can buy as much bottled water as we need. Last year we had a lot left over because still

584
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:48,740
many people brought their own water and so I kind of plan on just again playing that by ear. We're

585
00:49:48,740 --> 00:49:57,160
it's ready for people and we can buy more in very easily throughout the event as needed.

586
00:49:57,500 --> 00:50:01,420
But last year, what we had was sufficient and we actually had quite a bit left over.

587
00:50:02,780 --> 00:50:03,820
Okay, very good.

588
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:11,760
I was at a meeting yesterday actually and it heard that there is no bowel water to speak

589
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,560
of in Madras because of the issues happening in Warm Springs.

590
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:21,200
So there is a bit of a shortage in certain areas, so just be aware of that, I guess.

591
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,560
I don't assume you're going to matters for water, but...

592
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:24,760
No.

593
00:50:25,220 --> 00:50:28,320
Okay. All right. Anything else for us, Bethany?

594
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:30,060
No, thank you.

595
00:50:30,500 --> 00:50:34,840
If they may want to join us for the higher special, we'd love to see you commissioners there this year.

596
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,260
Okay. Thank you very much.

597
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:39,940
I think we are going to go to public testimony.

598
00:50:39,940 --> 00:50:46,500
Any anybody that wants to testify on this application is now welcome to do so either in the rule started in the room

599
00:50:46,500 --> 00:50:53,100
Does anybody have any comments in the room and if we do we'll move these guys out but stay there to see if we do have anybody

600
00:50:53,700 --> 00:50:55,260
Any comments in the room

601
00:50:56,860 --> 00:51:02,260
Anybody might kill Kenny thought you're going to comment on this. Okay. All right

602
00:51:02,260 --> 00:51:05,020
Very good anybody online. All

603
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,300
right anybody online just raise your hand

604
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:20,900
All right. We didn't have any testimony, so you don't have to rebut anything at all unless you want to make something up.

605
00:51:21,900 --> 00:51:32,360
All right. Very good. Okay. Since there's no further testimony, I'm going to close the public testimony portion of the hearing and open deliberations of the board.

606
00:51:33,620 --> 00:51:39,460
So gentlemen, do we have any additional comments or questions for staff?

607
00:51:39,460 --> 00:51:45,660
I think past experience has been very good and I think that's what we should go ahead with this.

608
00:51:47,660 --> 00:51:50,040
Okay. Yeah, I agree.

609
00:51:50,420 --> 00:51:59,800
And as I was sitting here, I put it on my calendar to try to go out and check things out and enjoy it.

610
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:05,580
But I think the few comments that I heard about it last year,

611
00:52:05,580 --> 00:52:14,000
if I'm remembering right we're very positive and so yeah and I'm glad Bethany actually brought

612
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:21,060
it up because going through my mind was that the water on site it relies its requirements and

613
00:52:21,060 --> 00:52:29,920
that sort of thing but I typically also take my own water if I'm going someplace like that so my

614
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:34,120
guess is if you add the extra water that the people that are camping bring or the people having

615
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:40,960
their cars that are just there for the day. You get a lot closer to that number of gallons, but

616
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:48,420
I'm pretty comfortable that it's not an issue for them. Okay, and they're not so far away from

617
00:52:49,340 --> 00:52:56,460
do-for-or-the-else that they couldn't, again, go get some. How many gallons a day per person?

618
00:52:56,700 --> 00:53:03,400
Is it 12? So 12 gallons? You drink 12 gallons a day of water? I should drink more than I drink, but

619
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:04,440
that I don't drink 12 gallons.

620
00:53:04,820 --> 00:53:07,880
I can't even imagine drinking 12 gallons a day,

621
00:53:08,100 --> 00:53:11,340
but is that the recommended daily dose or something?

622
00:53:11,660 --> 00:53:13,540
That's an OAR from...

623
00:53:13,540 --> 00:53:13,920
I know.

624
00:53:14,020 --> 00:53:16,240
They didn't see it, but yeah, it's a lot.

625
00:53:16,580 --> 00:53:17,140
It is a lot.

626
00:53:17,300 --> 00:53:18,260
Or do you enjoy a festival?

627
00:53:18,740 --> 00:53:19,240
I could have that.

628
00:53:19,240 --> 00:53:20,660
Yeah, you've got water in case.

629
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:22,060
For now, much time.

630
00:53:22,340 --> 00:53:24,740
You've got to know that maybe they need more.

631
00:53:25,220 --> 00:53:26,800
They've got a swimming pool.

632
00:53:27,100 --> 00:53:27,580
I mean, really?

633
00:53:30,090 --> 00:53:30,530
Okay.

634
00:53:31,470 --> 00:53:32,790
Any other questions of staff?

635
00:53:33,410 --> 00:53:47,010
Is I have a question in terms of like one of the motions is to approve order the order and is the order in here address the water situation and the fact that we're making an exception?

636
00:53:48,170 --> 00:53:51,370
The point we need to do that separately last

637
00:53:54,180 --> 00:54:00,360
year. I think it was just read into the decision as a variance. Sorry for the record.

638
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:05,960
Sean Bailey, Senior Planner, Wasco County Planning, but I believe we just adjusted the draft

639
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:13,640
order language after because it came up during the presentation last year and this year we could

640
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:20,200
just do the same thing. It's on the record at least that we've talked about it. But if we also,

641
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:25,580
I think just stayed at the end that that's included along with the approval that that covers it,

642
00:54:25,660 --> 00:54:29,400
but we could also change the draft order language before it's signed as well.

643
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:43,080
Okay, very good. Just want to make sure we hit that item. So if you choose to do so, you could just note for the record that we would approve the variance of the water based on the discussion we had here today.

644
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:53,480
Yep. Okay. And based on the proposal, I guess. That's what they propose. Okay. All right. I don't have any other questions. Any other questions for you guys?

645
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:57,080
Do you have a motion if there's no more questions?

646
00:54:58,340 --> 00:55:04,700
I might move to approve order 26-036 for an outdoor mask gathering for a hard-to-specable

647
00:55:04,700 --> 00:55:16,460
20-26 from August 28 to 30 of 20-26 is proposed in Flanagan file number 921-26-0000042-PLAG

648
00:55:16,460 --> 00:55:21,760
and accept the findings and conditions contained in the summary and staff report with approval

649
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:25,960
the proposed variants for required drinking water.

650
00:55:26,300 --> 00:55:26,640
Second.

651
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:27,260
All right.

652
00:55:27,340 --> 00:55:28,080
I have a motion approval.

653
00:55:28,300 --> 00:55:29,820
Any discussion on the motion?

654
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:32,360
Very well said.

655
00:55:32,540 --> 00:55:33,100
I have to put it.

656
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:33,300
Yeah.

657
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:33,740
Yeah.

658
00:55:34,540 --> 00:55:36,440
Well, I would just say I wish them well.

659
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:38,080
I think it will be a great event.

660
00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:39,780
I think it was as well last year or so.

661
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:40,300
All right.

662
00:55:40,940 --> 00:55:41,920
I'll call for the question.

663
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:42,840
All those in favor say aye.

664
00:55:43,420 --> 00:55:43,620
Aye.

665
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:43,980
Aye.

666
00:55:44,460 --> 00:55:44,880
Chair votes.

667
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:45,700
Yes, unanimous.

668
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:47,940
We have approved it.

669
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:48,800
Thank you for coming.

670
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:50,040
Thank you for working on this.

671
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,460
goes. Thanks, Bethany. Thank you, staff. Thank you.

672
00:55:55,740 --> 00:56:00,400
Okay. We are moving on to the ASP Fossil

673
00:56:01,020 --> 00:56:06,380
Reaffirmation of ASA Provider Contract Sheridan. Are you here? Oh, they're right here.

674
00:56:07,240 --> 00:56:11,900
He's even in person. I was hiding in the back. I hope we're not to be noticed until now.

675
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,940
Good morning, commissioners. Sheridan MacLeodan. I was going to mention it.

676
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:28,980
Thanks for having me. I'm here to request the re-evaluation of the contact with Faisal

677
00:56:28,980 --> 00:56:37,740
Ambulance that covers ASA 6. I don't know how it's good, so I've analoged with Faisal

678
00:56:37,740 --> 00:56:37,900
Ambulance.

679
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:44,640
All right, and I think we got some new information last night, which I think was just modifications

680
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,720
to what was in the packet. Is that right?

681
00:56:47,360 --> 00:57:00,940
Okay, so what were the changes in the new information on the date when the product starts? Okay. Okay. Do you know they're fighting by us? Yeah, that's the problem. So they all.

682
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:09,440
Yes, yes, they are. So are we. Okay. Any questions for Sheridan on this item?

683
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:15,340
They're currently providing the service, is that correct?

684
00:57:15,660 --> 00:57:18,080
Yes, they are providing service again.

685
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:18,640
Okay.

686
00:57:19,660 --> 00:57:22,380
I think Jefferson County was covering for them.

687
00:57:22,780 --> 00:57:22,960
Are they?

688
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:24,080
Yeah.

689
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:26,240
Okay.

690
00:57:27,260 --> 00:57:28,200
Makes sense.

691
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:31,660
Yeah, I don't have any other questions.

692
00:57:32,060 --> 00:57:32,420
Any questions?

693
00:57:32,740 --> 00:57:32,860
Yes.

694
00:57:33,020 --> 00:57:33,540
Good news.

695
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:34,500
I think all around.

696
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:34,860
Good news.

697
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:35,780
Okay.

698
00:57:36,980 --> 00:57:37,500
Do we have a motion?

699
00:57:39,780 --> 00:57:43,920
I move to approve the Reaffirmation of the Contracor Act, assigning West Coo County Enderland

700
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:49,740
Service Area ASA, number six, comprising the John Day Recreation Area to the City of

701
00:57:49,740 --> 00:57:50,120
Fossil.

702
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:51,240
Second motion.

703
00:57:53,020 --> 00:57:53,540
All right.

704
00:57:53,620 --> 00:57:54,580
We have motion in a second.

705
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:56,120
Any discussion?

706
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:58,980
Seeing none, all those in favor say aye.

707
00:57:59,500 --> 00:57:59,920
All right.

708
00:58:00,060 --> 00:58:00,420
Chair votes.

709
00:58:00,540 --> 00:58:01,200
Yes, unanimous.

710
00:58:01,700 --> 00:58:03,120
That was easy, huh?

711
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:03,700
Yeah.

712
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:07,160
Well, since we're ahead of schedule and we have a little time, can you give us a quick update

713
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:14,220
on fires since you are emergency manager? As we all know, there made quite a bit of

714
00:58:14,220 --> 00:58:20,740
progress on southern and then south-eastern climate. I think the last I heard was that

715
00:58:20,740 --> 00:58:25,400
cost me 19 percent contained which is better on high-polar sportsman's farm,

716
00:58:25,700 --> 00:58:31,220
longing dead area. What did you say? How much contained? The last one was 19 percent. It's probably

717
00:58:31,220 --> 00:58:36,180
a lot more than now. Okay, you're saying 90? 19. 19, oh yeah. I thought you should do

718
00:58:36,180 --> 00:58:38,400
And I was like wow, that's pretty good.

719
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:41,500
Contain on that area, but not very well contained another.

720
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:42,940
So, okay, gotcha.

721
00:58:43,020 --> 00:58:44,580
So, with that information,

722
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:46,500
we lower the evacuation levels

723
00:58:46,500 --> 00:58:48,780
for kind of a low warming and sportsmen's park.

724
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:49,180
Okay.

725
00:58:49,300 --> 00:58:52,240
However, we still have several level three zones

726
00:58:52,820 --> 00:58:56,840
that impacts several folks in the fancy area.

727
00:58:57,500 --> 00:59:00,460
So, in that, we need the service guard, the NS27,

728
00:59:01,260 --> 00:59:03,200
that tends to affect me, I believe,

729
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:13,260
And that's still kind of ongoing on the north and northeast, as well as the west portion.

730
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:15,680
It still may happen in the Stockholm.

731
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,400
Okay. They've still got lots of resources out there.

732
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:21,060
And apparently knock it out.

733
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:22,680
Let me describe.

734
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:23,580
Okay.

735
00:59:24,740 --> 00:59:31,700
When you saw the evacuation was reduced for if pine hull was it reduced to two level two.

736
00:59:31,700 --> 00:59:33,960
Okay. Okay.

737
00:59:35,980 --> 00:59:43,400
Okay. Everything else remains the same. Okay. Yeah, I was up on Highway 35 yesterday and

738
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:50,020
it was a lot of activity on Highway 35 because I think the fire was heading towards Highway 35.

739
00:59:50,020 --> 00:59:55,380
I think I think Mounted Meadows is still under level three and I think there's a lot of level three

740
00:59:55,380 --> 00:59:59,860
on that side. Is that correct? That is correct. And they must probably be neat.

741
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:29,640
Standing bells, level 3 zones, and possibly a blowdown, I wait 35, depending on whether 5.5 is now, or the footprint. They have a meeting this morning, and some effect right now, so we'll be able to get those answers to you. Okay, do they in the report in the meeting this morning, they talk about weather and is the weather going to is the wind going to change at all? Like I said, they're going to have to make the meeting at 10 o'clock.

742
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:33,500
for the evacuation and 10.30 for the coverage of this meeting. So I'll have a

743
01:00:33,500 --> 01:00:39,660
commission for you and I can update all of you on that. Okay. I know that yesterday on the

744
01:00:39,660 --> 01:00:46,920
corporates meeting yesterday, the weather report was higher temperatures and a little bit lighter

745
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:54,740
winds and the winds like there was Easterlies the last couple of days and the winds are supposed

746
01:00:54,740 --> 01:00:59,540
to kind of die down today and part of tomorrow and then change back to the normal

747
01:00:59,540 --> 01:01:06,520
westerlies and still load amid 90s through the weekend. They died for the rest of the week,

748
01:01:06,700 --> 01:01:12,980
come to the end of the day, so it's not very good on the RH. And when pattern, as you said,

749
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:18,580
it was easily and I think shifting back to the westerly, so you'll see it with itself.

750
01:01:18,580 --> 01:01:25,160
Okay. Yeah, it was also not a question of the fire to the north and to the west.

751
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:33,660
And yes, that name. Okay. Yeah, it was down to 26 as well in government camp and there was

752
01:01:33,660 --> 01:01:40,180
a lot of activity down there. People becoming very nervous that the which had seemed crazy, like,

753
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:44,320
you know, a week ago that the fire would be heading that way because it wasn't really heading that way

754
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:47,640
at all before and then it like turned around and started going the other direction.

755
01:01:48,420 --> 01:01:52,640
That's correct. And as you all probably know, there's clackiness actually has now some

756
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:56,760
evacuation levels as well. So this is going to be a not out clean counting fire.

757
01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:02,320
Yep. I should note that watch duty shows one of the fires actually crossing 35

758
01:02:03,180 --> 01:02:09,000
and the farther north. So I don't know what that's which how much that information is. But that was

759
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:13,060
just put out just a few hours ago, so.

760
01:02:13,420 --> 01:02:16,060
Well, if you guys are updated, I don't have that there.

761
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:16,920
Okay, yeah.

762
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:18,540
That's disappointing.

763
01:02:18,780 --> 01:02:22,440
There was no fire by 35 when I drove through yesterday afternoon, so.

764
01:02:22,580 --> 01:02:22,760
Yeah.

765
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:23,980
That's disappointing.

766
01:02:24,380 --> 01:02:24,680
Okay.

767
01:02:24,980 --> 01:02:25,400
Very good.

768
01:02:25,500 --> 01:02:26,340
Anything else, Sheridan?

769
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:27,740
I have anything else.

770
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:28,940
I don't have any other questions.

771
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:30,780
We're getting lots of rest lately.

772
01:02:33,420 --> 01:02:33,880
Okay.

773
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:35,580
All right.

774
01:02:35,700 --> 01:02:36,620
Thanks for being here, Sheridan.

775
01:02:37,580 --> 01:02:37,860
All right.

776
01:02:37,860 --> 01:02:43,820
Moving on, we will go to the GIS modernization IGA with Polt County, TICO.

777
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:47,780
You're with us virtually, right?

778
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:48,980
Virtually, yes.

779
01:02:49,260 --> 01:02:51,300
Yes, I don't, I try not to go outside of it enough.

780
01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:53,660
There's a dog right behind you.

781
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:55,800
Yeah, yeah, I've got to have my pit bull.

782
01:02:59,340 --> 01:02:59,780
Welcome.

783
01:03:00,500 --> 01:03:00,940
Thank you.

784
01:03:01,980 --> 01:03:08,200
So, our GIS web applications are all running on legacy software.

785
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:17,200
Database is 14 years old, and it's no longer supported by Microsoft.

786
01:03:18,300 --> 01:03:26,740
Our primary GIS software won't even attach to modern day databases, which is becoming a problem.

787
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:37,360
A few months back we received a grant that bought us a new database and hardware to put it on.

788
01:03:38,220 --> 01:03:50,280
The grant we're getting now is going to have the vendor help us put it all together because the upgrade and architectural changes are complicated.

789
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:57,440
I've been able to do that in the past, but it's kind of a shoestring and bubble gum thing.

790
01:03:57,440 --> 01:04:00,920
with as many as they should be able to have us do it the correct way.

791
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:09,900
Grant such that we have access to them for 10 hours for $8,140

792
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:14,340
and then the state reimburses for that amount.

793
01:04:16,820 --> 01:04:21,640
And then once we've got that done, there's a second part of that project

794
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:34,160
which is getting parcel fabric, which is a completely different part of the system to work nicely with the rest of the architecture.

795
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:40,940
And that part, the parcel fabric is what Ivan is actually doing now for architectural maintenance.

796
01:04:41,500 --> 01:04:52,640
And this will bring him up to doing modern, modern methods and standard business practices.

797
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:56,220
So that will make a little lot more efficient for him.

798
01:04:58,460 --> 01:05:02,960
With Polk County 1, all I need is for you guys to sign an IGA.

799
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:07,520
And Polk County deals with the financials and the rest of that.

800
01:05:08,300 --> 01:05:18,520
they can just start working with us with the S3 purchase for S3. Well, we just need,

801
01:05:18,820 --> 01:05:24,440
you know, I need your blessing to get a PO from Finance. And then I can start running

802
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:25,260
off of that one.

803
01:05:27,620 --> 01:05:31,520
Pretty much the start date on this is going to be as soon as the ink's

804
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:32,320
in the paper

805
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:48,340
and the minimal thing here is the GISD suite upgraded. Do we have

806
01:05:48,340 --> 01:05:50,820
fountain fundings and we need your blessing?

807
01:05:53,610 --> 01:05:56,570
Okay. Thank you. Can you maybe just

808
01:05:56,570 --> 01:06:00,610
before you start? So can you just kind of go over the what's the total cost we're

809
01:06:00,610 --> 01:06:07,410
looking at here? It looks like there's a couple elements. Our cost is going to be

810
01:06:07,410 --> 01:06:17,570
staff time. Okay. And then the sending the PO to this vendor and the state

811
01:06:17,570 --> 01:06:24,370
reimbursing us via that PO. I don't know how finance does that. They just send

812
01:06:24,370 --> 01:06:32,950
the PO and when we get the money from the state, pass that on or if finance

813
01:06:32,950 --> 01:06:40,610
send the money first. I don't know how it works. So it's basically grant, this project is more

814
01:06:40,610 --> 01:06:46,170
less grant funded, correct? Yeah, yeah. The only thing we're doing is sending our staff time.

815
01:06:46,850 --> 01:06:53,370
Okay, very good. Other questions for Tyco? I think my only question is the Polk County IGA is just,

816
01:06:54,070 --> 01:06:59,850
you said I believe in just looking through it. Just the technical assistance because they're using

817
01:07:03,930 --> 01:07:14,550
because some of our information is outdated or some of the sports outdated and they're using the more current stuff so it's just technical assistance from them.

818
01:07:15,190 --> 01:07:25,030
Yeah, the the ormaps that the parts of fabric stuff is the same software but sort of a different program so it's used differently.

819
01:07:26,050 --> 01:07:29,950
So it just takes different tech, different techs to help us get a setup, right?

820
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:37,380
And I don't see any financial things in there.

821
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:39,640
So Polk County is just doing this to be helpful.

822
01:07:40,260 --> 01:07:46,600
And like you said, the cost for us is in that.

823
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:50,840
And for them it's just staff time, but there's no money changing hands.

824
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:51,940
Right.

825
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:54,680
Polk County is going to get paid, but that's all on their end.

826
01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:59,020
Yeah, we don't deal with the finance on that at all.

827
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:00,420
Got it.

828
01:08:00,860 --> 01:08:01,920
I think that's all I have.

829
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:02,980
Pink, Roger?

830
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:10,220
Yeah, I have a question because I ran the discrepancy on page 178 of our over 200, one.

831
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:20,780
It says that services from ESRI to install and configure ArcGIS Enterprise 12.1, then you

832
01:08:20,780 --> 01:08:27,820
down to page 187 and it mentions version 11.5. I wonder if that's an error if I'm just missing something.

833
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:34,080
That's an error. It's taken me about nine months to actually get all the documentation together.

834
01:08:35,140 --> 01:08:40,040
I'm slow with this stuff and when I first started running it it was 11.5. Now it's actually

835
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:45,560
to 12.5. Okay, I just want to make sure we get that motion correct on that. So yeah.

836
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:56,020
All right. Other questions? I did. As you know, Taiko, I was back in New Orleans and had quite a

837
01:08:56,020 --> 01:09:01,600
quite a long several discussions with Esri about this. And they gave me some great ideas. And,

838
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:05,240
of course, I sent them to you and you like most of our staff is like, why do we send them these

839
01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:11,760
conferences? I'm not the stuff you can do. So, Esri was there basically saying all the amazing

840
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:18,660
you do with GIS and all the stuff that counties are doing. So I thought I had some great ideas that I'm

841
01:09:18,660 --> 01:09:24,860
we'll talk asking FICO to do. Okay. Any other questions for Tyco? And if that do we have a motion?

842
01:09:27,950 --> 01:09:34,910
I move to approve the as required number PO22661 and the Polk County Intergovernmental

843
01:09:34,910 --> 01:09:39,970
Agreement to GIS services allowing the county proceed with both grant and funded projects.

844
01:09:39,970 --> 01:09:46,530
second. All right, we motion a second any further discussion. Hearing none, all those

845
01:09:46,530 --> 01:09:53,570
in favor say aye. Aye. Chair votes yes, unanimous. Hey, Taniko, before you go, is any, anything

846
01:09:53,570 --> 01:09:58,010
that we're talking about here is the public when they look at our GIS? Will they see anything

847
01:09:58,010 --> 01:10:04,690
different or will things change for them? It'll look a lot different. Okay. It'll run a lot

848
01:10:04,690 --> 01:10:11,650
better. Okay. The conversion part is actually probably going to be done in like two weeks. Okay.

849
01:10:11,890 --> 01:10:18,290
Um, it's going to take another good six months from me and Jamie to get everything converted over

850
01:10:18,290 --> 01:10:24,610
to where the public sees it. Okay. So the public won't see any changes really until about six months

851
01:10:24,610 --> 01:10:29,990
from now. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Internal staff will start seeing it before them. But okay. Yeah. There's

852
01:10:29,990 --> 01:10:36,210
And I just wanted to comment, I have used that map a lot in my reporting days, and I've

853
01:10:36,210 --> 01:10:37,490
thought it incredibly valuable.

854
01:10:37,850 --> 01:10:39,990
So any improvements to that are going to be welcomed.

855
01:10:41,270 --> 01:10:42,070
It's amazing.

856
01:10:42,690 --> 01:10:47,590
The system, I mean, many most counties actually have it, Esri basically was saying that there's

857
01:10:47,590 --> 01:10:49,990
not a county in the United States that doesn't use Esri.

858
01:10:50,150 --> 01:10:54,530
But it is a lot of information, and I think a lot of people don't understand.

859
01:10:54,650 --> 01:10:56,630
It's out there and don't understand how to use it.

860
01:10:56,630 --> 01:11:03,130
And sometimes I wonder, like, do we, if somebody goes on GS, is there something there that says,

861
01:11:03,130 --> 01:11:07,170
here's a quick tutorial about how to use it? Do we have anything like that, or is there anything

862
01:11:07,170 --> 01:11:19,730
like that available? Tyco? We did have a how to use PDF at one point. I think in the last web pages

863
01:11:19,730 --> 01:11:24,170
just redo that that file got lost somewhere.

864
01:11:24,930 --> 01:11:26,510
Be honest, it's on the list to do.

865
01:11:27,170 --> 01:11:27,710
Okay, cool.

866
01:11:28,070 --> 01:11:31,090
Well, he suggests is when you get,

867
01:11:31,250 --> 01:11:33,850
when you and Jamie get this ready to kind of roll out,

868
01:11:33,930 --> 01:11:37,370
could maybe we could you schedule some time here

869
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:39,870
and kind of roll it out to the commissioners

870
01:11:39,870 --> 01:11:42,310
and then everybody can kind of see it at once

871
01:11:42,310 --> 01:11:43,490
whenever you get to that point.

872
01:11:43,910 --> 01:11:45,130
Okay, we'll do that.

873
01:11:45,370 --> 01:11:46,090
That would be awesome.

874
01:11:46,370 --> 01:11:47,490
I would appreciate that,

875
01:11:47,490 --> 01:11:49,230
and I'm sure, what else are there?

876
01:11:49,370 --> 01:11:49,490
Sure.

877
01:11:50,070 --> 01:11:50,510
Come on.

878
01:11:50,770 --> 01:11:51,230
All right.

879
01:11:51,650 --> 01:11:53,090
Thanks so much for being there, Tyco.

880
01:11:53,210 --> 01:11:54,130
Thanks for the work that you do.

881
01:11:54,170 --> 01:11:54,690
Thank you, guys.

882
01:11:55,350 --> 01:11:55,550
All right.

883
01:11:56,350 --> 01:11:58,910
I'm moving on to our last item on our agenda day,

884
01:11:59,030 --> 01:12:02,350
which is the Waska County Landfill MOU Tyler Stone

885
01:12:02,350 --> 01:12:04,730
and some gentleman named Arthur Smith.

886
01:12:05,930 --> 01:12:06,830
Come on down, Arthur.

887
01:12:07,190 --> 01:12:09,370
He's the one in general's in connection.

888
01:12:10,250 --> 01:12:10,310
I think.

889
01:12:10,890 --> 01:12:11,130
Wow.

890
01:12:13,150 --> 01:12:15,470
I hope he wanted to take it any other way.

891
01:12:15,610 --> 01:12:16,510
It says you're lucky to me.

892
01:12:16,510 --> 01:12:18,990
Thank you.

893
01:12:19,270 --> 01:12:19,910
Good morning.

894
01:12:20,150 --> 01:12:25,970
I'll start this introduction on this particular topic.

895
01:12:26,690 --> 01:12:31,810
I'm not going to read you everything that's in your packet because it pretty well summarizes it.

896
01:12:31,970 --> 01:12:37,850
But what I will say is looking back over many years, maybe even decades.

897
01:12:39,450 --> 01:12:44,090
There has been a lot of conversation around five mile road and steel road.

898
01:12:44,090 --> 01:12:53,350
and truck traffic on that road and safety and there's been a lot of discussion about it.

899
01:12:53,450 --> 01:12:59,330
I know we've had conversations with ODOT about it, Commissioner Kramer, I think has had

900
01:13:00,710 --> 01:13:10,110
federal senators out there looking at it, Arthur has done a ton of work around this and so

901
01:13:10,110 --> 01:13:17,850
So what we're doing today and what we've been working on with waste connections is coming

902
01:13:17,850 --> 01:13:27,090
up with a memorandum of understanding essentially to work together to solve this long-standing

903
01:13:27,090 --> 01:13:27,650
problem.

904
01:13:28,370 --> 01:13:31,290
And so I'm going to say there's kind of two aspects.

905
01:13:31,790 --> 01:13:39,050
So there's an internal aspect which is an impact to Arthur's department with the roads.

906
01:13:39,050 --> 01:13:47,250
and our ability to maintain those roads and the longevity of those roads with this heavy truck

907
01:13:47,250 --> 01:13:56,370
traffic that we see going back and forth from the landfill. And so we spend quite a bit of maintenance

908
01:13:56,370 --> 01:14:05,850
money every year. Arthur, if my memory serves me right, it's like upwards of 50,000 years to keep

909
01:14:05,850 --> 01:14:14,590
that road at a level to be able to handle that. And I think panel are through talk about this,

910
01:14:14,710 --> 01:14:21,310
but I don't know that it's going to support that going long into the future, even with kind

911
01:14:21,310 --> 01:14:28,030
of our current maintenance area. And then the second piece of this is really external. So we've

912
01:14:28,030 --> 01:14:37,570
had lots of communication with residents that live on these roads with others around safety

913
01:14:37,570 --> 01:14:43,150
and, you know, the ability for people to navigate those roads when there's also big heavy

914
01:14:43,150 --> 01:14:50,470
traffic coming. There's lots of corners, there's lots of elevation and, you know, those all

915
01:14:50,470 --> 01:14:54,010
will lead to a conversation around safety.

916
01:14:55,010 --> 01:14:59,830
And then finally, the intersection at one night.

917
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:29,980
7 and the challenges we have right there on a curb with truck traffic moving slowly as they're starting or stopping and the speed of folks traveling on 97. So, a lot of those things are not a good mix. So to speak. And so, but of the last few months, we've been talking with waste connections or partnered on how do we

918
01:15:29,980 --> 01:15:33,300
We, how do we address some of those concerns?

919
01:15:33,700 --> 01:15:37,980
And so what you have in your packet today is just a memorandum understanding.

920
01:15:37,980 --> 01:15:46,820
It's not a binding document by any means, but it it's setting out the roles that the

921
01:15:46,820 --> 01:15:54,820
county and waste connections will play in a discussion around how do we make this circumstance

922
01:15:54,820 --> 01:16:07,800
that exists today better for the landfill, better for citizens and a safer, safer aspect, and so that's what we're talking about.

923
01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:21,580
One of those scenarios in this is potentially reciting a new private road into the landfill.

924
01:16:21,580 --> 01:16:35,620
So that would be taking all of that truck traffic off of five-minutes steel roads, or at least most of it, and moving that to a different access.

925
01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:51,560
Obviously building roads is not a easy undertaking, because one, it's expensive to you, private land owners, and then three will want to make those conditions better than what they are.

926
01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:59,800
today. And so that's one of the scenarios that we're talking about is how do we set a different

927
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:06,080
access to get that truck traffic off. And that's going to take a lot of work by both waste connections

928
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:16,240
and Arthur in the public works department to be able to do that. And then kind of my last caveat,

929
01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:22,600
because I know the current chatter out there is going to say this is an

930
01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:30,160
anticipation for 250 trucks a day from Gortland Harbor cleanup and I will say

931
01:17:31,440 --> 01:17:39,640
this has not crossed our radar screens for this particular project. This has been

932
01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:44,100
a conversation that has been in play now for a number of years and it has

933
01:17:44,100 --> 01:17:51,060
nothing, absolutely nothing to do with Portland Harbor cleanup. It has everything to do with

934
01:17:51,060 --> 01:18:01,500
the safety on these roads and the road maintenance piece of it. So that conversation has been

935
01:18:01,500 --> 01:18:12,480
in the pipeline for a long time and this is what's in front of you today, normalizing that

936
01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:19,940
That agreement that we're going to work together to try to solve these issues.

937
01:18:20,380 --> 01:18:24,120
And I'll turn it over to Arthur if you want to add anything to that.

938
01:18:27,170 --> 01:18:29,190
Arthur Smith, Public Works Director, Waska County.

939
01:18:29,930 --> 01:18:33,070
I guess it depends on what the commission wants.

940
01:18:34,390 --> 01:18:40,490
So this project, this is actually one of the first capital improvement projects I worked

941
01:18:40,490 --> 01:18:47,050
on my early career as an engineer tech one at Wasco County. So the design of this existing

942
01:18:47,050 --> 01:18:54,670
road actually started in 1993 and it was designed under 1993 standards and was finished

943
01:18:54,670 --> 01:19:01,330
construction in 1994. And then we had some floods and some other events. So as you can

944
01:19:01,330 --> 01:19:08,110
well-imagined. Which road are you talking about? 5 mile road. Sorry, 5 mile road. Do you

945
01:19:08,110 --> 01:19:12,070
start a design of the new road? No, this is the exit road. I thought I was

946
01:19:12,070 --> 01:19:16,690
existing. So it's this thing around. 5 mile and steel is actually in. So it's a

947
01:19:16,690 --> 01:19:24,830
93-94 vintage. Another standard design. It was extraordinarily good. But as you

948
01:19:24,830 --> 01:19:30,550
can well-imagined the size and capacity of vehicles now have changed and expanded

949
01:19:30,550 --> 01:19:33,090
And we want to get better and smarter and you add more axles.

950
01:19:33,270 --> 01:19:37,030
So anyway, it's exacerbated obviously the condition of the road and the capacity.

951
01:19:38,050 --> 01:19:44,530
The other thing kind of hampering it is, there is now a severely load limited bridge on

952
01:19:44,530 --> 01:19:45,810
the steel road side.

953
01:19:46,230 --> 01:19:53,110
So if something happened on Highway 197-5 on my side, you could not route those vehicles

954
01:19:53,110 --> 01:19:58,050
even in an absolute emergency because of the strict limitation that we basically have a

955
01:19:58,050 --> 01:20:03,250
one lane bridge and steel road, it could not take those 80,000 to 110,000, it's just not

956
01:20:03,250 --> 01:20:07,950
going to happen. So there's a lot of issues there that it's just been building over time.

957
01:20:09,790 --> 01:20:14,850
The existing intersection, I think we've met, I mean, we may have met 20 or 30 times with

958
01:20:14,850 --> 01:20:20,130
ODOT representatives of all shapes and sizes to look at the intersection. That hasn't gotten

959
01:20:20,130 --> 01:20:24,690
cheaper. I do remember because I was there after the floods in 96, we were kind of recovering

960
01:20:24,690 --> 01:20:31,310
between 1998 and 2001, I think we had five different meetings, and we actually proposed

961
01:20:31,310 --> 01:20:36,110
the county at that time, proposed the same sort of thing, a memorandum of understanding

962
01:20:36,110 --> 01:20:41,630
with the landfill to try to improve, could we at least improve the intersection, because

963
01:20:41,630 --> 01:20:47,030
the intersection, again, has been an issue for a long time, and at that time we were not

964
01:20:47,030 --> 01:20:52,730
able to come to any of the agreement, mostly because it had to be built to state standards

965
01:20:52,730 --> 01:20:56,790
with this and that and the other and had to be under boldly and it just killed the whole idea.

966
01:20:57,190 --> 01:21:01,950
So right now I think the price tag of just improving the intersection is north of 15 to 20 million.

967
01:21:03,670 --> 01:21:09,030
So we thought hey maybe we should look at because if you take that 15 or 20 million and

968
01:21:09,810 --> 01:21:15,050
perhaps use it in another area you know you might be able to get a better solution as opposed to

969
01:21:15,050 --> 01:21:19,930
just making improvements to an existing intersection and then still having the majority of the route

970
01:21:20,930 --> 01:21:26,890
unimproved. So I'm pretty excited about the possibility. It's like I said when you're

971
01:21:26,890 --> 01:21:35,290
talking about, when you don't have 100% control over acquisitions or building, it becomes

972
01:21:35,290 --> 01:21:40,450
something, it could never happen. So you guys know, this could honestly come to no fruition

973
01:21:40,450 --> 01:21:44,910
at all. But it's obviously worth pursuing. And that's where we're at.

974
01:21:47,150 --> 01:21:55,570
And for any of those who haven't stood out on Highway 197 in the morning watching the activity

975
01:21:55,570 --> 01:22:02,410
out there, it's something you should do because it's definitely a challenging intersection

976
01:22:02,410 --> 01:22:03,850
at different times of the day.

977
01:22:04,070 --> 01:22:10,530
And if you do wear your safety vest for God's sake, yeah, seriously, go ahead a couple of

978
01:22:10,530 --> 01:22:10,830
questions.

979
01:22:10,830 --> 01:22:22,050
I'm assuming that if this were to go through that the waste manager would pay for the construction or the county would build it or would they hire private contractors?

980
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:32,320
So what we're moving towards is this would be a private room or waste connections.

981
01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:42,620
they would build that they were donate and it was maintained as well but to that end it's a big

982
01:22:42,620 --> 01:22:51,300
enough deal for safety reasons and for the reasons that are talked about on steel road and five

983
01:22:51,300 --> 01:22:59,520
long road that the county is helping right and so the county is going to take the lead in working

984
01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:10,940
with ODOT. We are taking the lead and looking at different, I don't know, the right terminology

985
01:23:10,940 --> 01:23:13,560
is Arthur, but pathways for new road.

986
01:23:14,440 --> 01:23:21,640
Oh, and our design, yeah. So our surveyor is out there looking at the ground and the elevation and

987
01:23:22,920 --> 01:23:30,020
working on looking where a suitable path to put that room at.

988
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:33,140
And so we're doing that work.

989
01:23:33,500 --> 01:23:40,760
And Arthur's certainly providing technical expertise as well as part of this.

990
01:23:41,020 --> 01:23:42,080
We're doing the design.

991
01:23:45,510 --> 01:23:49,250
I'm going to wait you answer that because I don't know how much of that we are aren't.

992
01:23:49,430 --> 01:23:53,330
Yeah, a lot of that will depend on what we can do in house.

993
01:23:53,330 --> 01:23:58,170
So, again, we're going to, there's some things that are easily in our wheelhouse, like

994
01:23:58,170 --> 01:24:02,010
coordinating with our partners at the Oregon Department of Transportation, I mean, things

995
01:24:02,010 --> 01:24:05,250
of that, you know, because there's access and ingress and egress offered to the state

996
01:24:05,250 --> 01:24:09,110
highway. We have to get anything has to be offered to the state highway. So that's, again,

997
01:24:09,170 --> 01:24:15,510
easy. It's staff time, things of that nature. Again, working with Brad Cross and Alex and

998
01:24:15,510 --> 01:24:20,510
even Ivan in the surveyors office to try to find different options that we could use, get

999
01:24:20,510 --> 01:24:25,990
from a safer point A to point B. Again, that's more staff time and we're willing, that's

1000
01:24:25,990 --> 01:24:33,850
kind of a, we're willing to conduct that. If it came to actual surveying or designing

1001
01:24:33,850 --> 01:24:38,050
or getting stamped engineering plans, I think that's a different conversation because I don't,

1002
01:24:38,110 --> 01:24:42,850
we do not want to take on that with our office, mostly because I'd probably have to hire a full-time

1003
01:24:42,850 --> 01:24:48,870
PE because then it becomes a much bigger project. And then perhaps we have liability as a result of that.

1004
01:24:48,870 --> 01:24:56,070
So everybody wants to be happy with the final product and it may be that what we think is okay,

1005
01:24:56,070 --> 01:25:02,050
may not 100% sooth the needs of which connections corporate or whoever, you know, so.

1006
01:25:02,270 --> 01:25:02,470
Okay.

1007
01:25:04,540 --> 01:25:06,340
All right. Jim, do you have anything?

1008
01:25:08,020 --> 01:25:13,900
Said you're there. Sure, Jim Winterbottom that I was disposal, which is a waste connections company.

1009
01:25:14,440 --> 01:25:19,880
I want to throw out a disclaimer. I do not work at the landfill. I work with the folks up there

1010
01:25:19,880 --> 01:25:22,340
very closely and have been there for a number of years.

1011
01:25:23,500 --> 01:25:28,460
As Tyler outlined, as we look forward into what the future holds and

1012
01:25:28,460 --> 01:25:32,100
safely transporting material from point A to point B,

1013
01:25:32,860 --> 01:25:37,100
we are definitely willing to find out what it's going to take to do that.

1014
01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:41,760
It is our landfill which benefits the region as a whole.

1015
01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:46,380
And we want to keep it that way and stay out of the news, so to speak.

1016
01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:54,580
These conversations have been going on since I can remember 09, 2010, back then, had some

1017
01:25:54,580 --> 01:25:56,080
traction, but then it kind of went away.

1018
01:25:57,640 --> 01:26:02,080
So you know, involved our division folks in our region and they're definitely, you know,

1019
01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:06,720
on board and we've had some good conversations with Tyler just willing to do what we can

1020
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:07,200
to make a word.

1021
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:09,140
Thanks, Jim.

1022
01:26:09,260 --> 01:26:09,860
Thanks for being here.

1023
01:26:10,420 --> 01:26:12,640
And then yeah, these discussions have been going on for a long time.

1024
01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:17,580
I remember in talking with ODOT and other legislators because they've all been out there

1025
01:26:17,580 --> 01:26:22,640
on site watching the truck traffic and stuff, but even those processes, or maybe those

1026
01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:28,020
processes would be, you know, as long or longer as well, just the process to achieve funding,

1027
01:26:28,380 --> 01:26:32,460
you know, from the state, you know, for improvements on Highway 1A7.

1028
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:39,280
We've talked about it many times and, you know, unfortunately, it's not the highest priority

1029
01:26:39,280 --> 01:26:44,340
the state for us, it might be a really high priority, but in other parts of the state they've had other,

1030
01:26:44,340 --> 01:26:49,080
they have other safety issues that have multiple deaths and other things that they're trying to

1031
01:26:49,080 --> 01:26:54,900
deal with and this situation is not that dire even though it's dire for us, so it's all relative.

1032
01:26:56,680 --> 01:27:00,760
Okay, so any other questions for anybody, anything else you have, Tyler?

1033
01:27:01,420 --> 01:27:03,040
You're looking for approval of this.

1034
01:27:04,860 --> 01:27:08,900
I don't have any questions, just a couple of comments. One is first of all,

1035
01:27:08,900 --> 01:27:11,680
Waste Connections has always been a very good community partner with us.

1036
01:27:11,740 --> 01:27:15,720
We have a good relationship work in several different ways with him.

1037
01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:22,480
So I'm guessing this is going to be a good relationship going forward,

1038
01:27:22,480 --> 01:27:29,580
because it's beneficial to both Waste Connections and the county and just traffic as well.

1039
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:35,160
And I want to also reiterate what Tyler was talking about with the Portland Harbor.

1040
01:27:35,160 --> 01:27:45,300
or while the time means might seem strange to some people, it's coincidental, clearly

1041
01:27:45,300 --> 01:27:51,920
this discussion about this road has been going on for a lot longer than the Portland

1042
01:27:51,920 --> 01:27:53,980
Harbor cleanup is talking.

1043
01:27:56,500 --> 01:28:04,400
So we want to, I've been monitoring that situation very closely, working with waste connections,

1044
01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:11,620
working with the neighbors for clean air who have done some work up here and keeping an eye on

1045
01:28:11,620 --> 01:28:19,340
what's going on with that. And there's currently still no proposal or no requests for contracts,

1046
01:28:19,360 --> 01:28:27,680
or no discussion between the EPA and DEQ, which actually do the work themselves. The work

1047
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:37,280
And the contracts are done by private entities so that the polluters have to hire somebody to clean it up and then they have to follow the rules.

1048
01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:40,640
And there's just been no discussion at this point.

1049
01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:50,580
So I just want to reiterate that but I think it's a great idea and something that I'd love to see.

1050
01:28:52,060 --> 01:28:54,360
that traffic issue resolved in the next,

1051
01:28:55,120 --> 01:28:57,200
in the very foreseeable future.

1052
01:28:57,760 --> 01:28:59,080
I would say, how many years did you get?

1053
01:28:59,080 --> 01:28:59,800
Yeah, I thought so.

1054
01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:00,700
That was good.

1055
01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:02,180
Yeah, I didn't want to look at it.

1056
01:29:02,260 --> 01:29:03,980
I was sort of putting a date on this.

1057
01:29:05,980 --> 01:29:06,940
Okay, very good.

1058
01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:07,320
All right.

1059
01:29:07,500 --> 01:29:08,700
Any other comments, questions?

1060
01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:10,360
If not, I'll take a motion.

1061
01:29:12,200 --> 01:29:15,320
I'd move to approve the memorandum of understanding MOU

1062
01:29:15,320 --> 01:29:18,180
between Wasco County and Wasco County Landfill Inc.

1063
01:29:18,180 --> 01:29:22,440
I think, establishing a cooperative framework to evaluate the feasibility of a private access

1064
01:29:22,440 --> 01:29:25,780
road and authorization in the chair to sign the agreement.

1065
01:29:26,140 --> 01:29:28,020
I enthusiastically second that one.

1066
01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:28,500
All right.

1067
01:29:28,820 --> 01:29:29,640
I'll third it.

1068
01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:31,340
Very good.

1069
01:29:31,380 --> 01:29:31,800
We have a motion.

1070
01:29:31,820 --> 01:29:34,460
Second, this is awesome.

1071
01:29:34,700 --> 01:29:39,320
I mean, obviously, there's a lot of people that wonder what we've been doing, but like for

1072
01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:41,120
people that think we haven't been doing anything.

1073
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:45,060
Arthur's been at the tip of the spear, but we understand the concerns.

1074
01:29:45,060 --> 01:29:46,360
We understand the challenges.

1075
01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:51,500
We understand all of it, and we're trying to find a solution, but it's not easy.

1076
01:29:51,620 --> 01:29:54,380
It's not cheap, and it's not going to happen quickly, but we're working on it.

1077
01:29:54,520 --> 01:29:56,500
So this is one good step in that direction.

1078
01:29:57,160 --> 01:29:59,980
Okay, if there's no other comments or questions.

1079
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:05,940
Questions, all those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Chair votes, yes, you name us. Thanks so much, gentlemen. Everybody that works on this.

1080
01:30:08,500 --> 01:30:29,760
Consider agenda. We do have a consent agenda, which has our minutes from our July 15th meeting. Did everyone have a chance to look at those? Any questions, comments? You want to actually, were you were you on board? You were not. What's not on board? So I can't vote on this. You can abstain. Yeah. I move to approve the consent agenda.

1081
01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:42,820
All right, and I will second that motion. Any discussion here, you know, I was in favor say I abstain stay chair votes. Yes. All right, two votes for yes, one abstention. All right.

1082
01:30:44,180 --> 01:30:54,260
Why don't we go to public comment again before we go to commission calls or any public comment either online or in the room, anything popped up in your mind that you want to bring forward to the commission.

1083
01:30:54,260 --> 01:30:58,940
question. Steve? Do you have anything?

1084
01:31:01,390 --> 01:31:03,530
All right. There we go. There we go. Good

1085
01:31:03,530 --> 01:31:05,670
got it. Thank you. Go to my state of debt.

1086
01:31:09,930 --> 01:31:14,490
Steve, Ron Bell, Vasco County. Just a comment

1087
01:31:14,490 --> 01:31:24,630
on the grasshopper fire just so that citizens are aware. I believe a state and federal had

1088
01:31:24,630 --> 01:31:30,910
proposals on some forced fuel reductions that got held up in court by an environmental

1089
01:31:31,810 --> 01:31:38,390
agency that the taxpayers are paying those court costs for and now all those areas are

1090
01:31:38,390 --> 01:31:49,210
burnt so it doesn't matter but just so people understand that there could be solutions to

1091
01:31:49,210 --> 01:31:58,750
this that we come together with common sense and do things instead of just litigating things.

1092
01:31:59,130 --> 01:32:03,810
That's all I have. All right. It's a very good comment. You know, the forest, the

1093
01:32:03,810 --> 01:32:08,170
Blasco County Forest Collaborative, who we participated in. Lots of people to participate in.

1094
01:32:08,490 --> 01:32:13,310
Did work for a long time. This is one area that they had a big project that was going to actually

1095
01:32:13,310 --> 01:32:20,530
pull out both fire fuels and actual resource in terms of timber. Unfortunately they didn't

1096
01:32:20,530 --> 01:32:25,430
get to the point that they actually implemented the project or the the

1097
01:32:25,430 --> 01:32:29,170
ranger at the Duke Fire District was talking about this the other day and

1098
01:32:29,830 --> 01:32:33,750
it's unfortunate because we could have cleaned up you know if it had happened

1099
01:32:33,750 --> 01:32:38,490
we would have had taken out fire fuels it would have been less likely to be as

1100
01:32:38,490 --> 01:32:42,250
damaging and destructive as it is and we would have also got timber out of it as

1101
01:32:42,250 --> 01:32:46,390
well so that's certainly what the Forest Collaborate is doing and that's what

1102
01:32:46,390 --> 01:32:51,050
they are intended to do and that's a very good point though Steve. Thanks for

1103
01:32:51,050 --> 01:32:59,110
thanks for coming on that. Alright anybody else? Online? Raise your hand. Alright if

1104
01:32:59,110 --> 01:33:03,730
not let's go to commission call. Anybody have any fascinating, wonderful stuff

1105
01:33:03,730 --> 01:33:09,570
for us today? I've got a couple of things as a movie. I also want to signal out

1106
01:33:10,410 --> 01:33:13,350
former Commissioner Quaymon for the awesome work he did for the forest

1107
01:33:13,350 --> 01:33:18,090
collaborative for a lot of years. I mean, he was really involved in that. I also want

1108
01:33:18,090 --> 01:33:25,090
to mention something that's very important to me on the day where I was appointed. Merge

1109
01:33:25,090 --> 01:33:29,990
O. was in the audience and she had a statement she read. I asked her for that statement at

1110
01:33:29,990 --> 01:33:34,930
the end. It's now framed in on my desk. It's a very first thing ever got. It's going to remind

1111
01:33:34,930 --> 01:33:39,390
me to try to think like Phil Brady as well. So I want to be clear about that. I also want

1112
01:33:39,390 --> 01:33:44,150
to thank all the staff people who have been helpful with this fun-ling newbie to get

1113
01:33:44,150 --> 01:33:48,390
him up this speed, and the fire hose drinking is getting better all the time.

1114
01:33:49,270 --> 01:33:50,110
Thank you all.

1115
01:33:50,810 --> 01:33:50,970
Yes.

1116
01:33:51,210 --> 01:33:52,750
It's a lot, isn't it, Roger?

1117
01:33:52,950 --> 01:33:53,030
Yep.

1118
01:33:53,810 --> 01:33:55,890
Thanks for taking it on.

1119
01:33:56,230 --> 01:33:56,330
Yep.

1120
01:33:56,950 --> 01:33:57,490
Okay, Jeff.

1121
01:33:58,350 --> 01:33:59,570
Just a couple things real quick.

1122
01:33:59,730 --> 01:34:04,930
One is, right now, they're still planning today.

1123
01:34:04,930 --> 01:34:21,670
I'm going to run out to Ty Valley, there'll be an update and then perhaps a little bit of a change officially on the fire at least on our end on the grasshopper fire of the state fire marshal kind of demobilizing here.

1124
01:34:21,810 --> 01:34:26,570
That doesn't mean that firefighters are going away and they're done fighting the fire clearly it's going.

1125
01:34:27,430 --> 01:34:32,290
They bump that from yesterday to today because of the advancement to the west yesterday.

1126
01:34:32,290 --> 01:34:38,610
day. There's still planning on meeting today, but we'll see who it goes on. So I've kind

1127
01:34:38,610 --> 01:34:43,790
of been trying to stay abreast of that. Sometimes I wonder exactly what we do to

1128
01:34:43,790 --> 01:34:49,850
our suppliers here as commissioners because, you know, but I think just kind of stay

1129
01:34:49,850 --> 01:34:55,430
in up in the, I do want to come in the state fire marshal and when they put together

1130
01:34:55,430 --> 01:35:02,110
these teams, I mean, they bring in huge teams, just coordinate everything. But, you know,

1131
01:35:02,110 --> 01:35:05,950
when you're talking thousands of, well,

1132
01:35:06,210 --> 01:35:07,230
there probably weren't all there,

1133
01:35:07,450 --> 01:35:10,790
but a thousand firefighters on a fire

1134
01:35:10,790 --> 01:35:13,170
and trying to feed them and provide bathrooms

1135
01:35:13,170 --> 01:35:15,010
and provide showers and provide safety

1136
01:35:15,010 --> 01:35:16,350
and provide all that kind of stuff.

1137
01:35:16,350 --> 01:35:17,450
It takes a lot of coordination.

1138
01:35:18,070 --> 01:35:20,870
So, and to let the community know

1139
01:35:20,870 --> 01:35:23,870
and they really have their meetings down.

1140
01:35:24,050 --> 01:35:25,910
I know you guys have attended a lot

1141
01:35:25,910 --> 01:35:27,450
of the cooperators meetings as well

1142
01:35:27,450 --> 01:35:29,690
and just having those updates

1143
01:35:30,170 --> 01:35:31,750
and being able to answer questions

1144
01:35:31,750 --> 01:35:39,170
for public is important. So I appreciate that. And then speaking of fires, fair is next week.

1145
01:35:40,290 --> 01:35:49,130
And I want to assure everybody that that's fair. Exactly. The fair is on as scheduled.

1146
01:35:49,650 --> 01:35:55,190
And in fact, I believe even a community meeting held last week on Friday in

1147
01:35:56,410 --> 01:36:02,230
the state bar Marshall's office answered a question about the fairgrounds by saying they've

1148
01:36:02,230 --> 01:36:10,310
been working with us and know the dates of fair and are assuring that fair is on still

1149
01:36:10,310 --> 01:36:19,530
lots to do and lots of work being done but we keep an eye, we make sure everybody's safe

1150
01:36:19,530 --> 01:36:26,510
that I think I think smoke is going to be more of a concern next week than fire itself,

1151
01:36:26,830 --> 01:36:32,170
just depending on how long it burns up in the hills and where the wind blows that

1152
01:36:32,810 --> 01:36:39,790
that smoke, but I know for a fact that this won't be the first year that they'll be

1153
01:36:39,790 --> 01:36:45,950
smoke at fair and it happens and we work around it, but coordinating closely with

1154
01:36:45,950 --> 01:36:58,650
are big contractors and 4-H and everybody just to make sure that things are moving forward and so that's going well.

1155
01:36:59,130 --> 01:37:07,470
And then yeah, I think that's probably the probably all I have for today.

1156
01:37:07,470 --> 01:37:14,050
Okay, very good. I returned from NACO, NACO at their annual conference in New Orleans.

1157
01:37:14,690 --> 01:37:20,550
As I mentioned earlier, I did spend quite a bit of time with Esri. They had a lot of

1158
01:37:20,550 --> 01:37:25,130
presentations they made. It's pretty interesting about how counties work with GIS information,

1159
01:37:25,130 --> 01:37:29,390
because it's really becoming important. A couple things I found out. One was there's actually

1160
01:37:29,390 --> 01:37:34,890
something called the Living Atlas that Esri does. They have 14,000 layers of data.

1161
01:37:34,890 --> 01:37:40,790
We have, I don't know many layers of data we have, we probably have maybe 100, maybe 200,

1162
01:37:40,850 --> 01:37:43,530
I don't know, but they have 14,000 layers, so I want one.

1163
01:37:44,130 --> 01:37:48,650
Yeah, well, it's public, it's all public information, so if you look up living Atlas under

1164
01:37:48,650 --> 01:37:54,090
Esri, you can go and you can find all sorts of information that haven't mapped out geographically,

1165
01:37:54,610 --> 01:37:55,570
which is very interesting.

1166
01:37:56,690 --> 01:38:01,710
I also was able to meet with most of our big vendors, so our vendors, they have a big trade

1167
01:38:01,710 --> 01:38:07,010
fair at all these conferences. So a lot of the vendors that work with with county. So I met with

1168
01:38:07,010 --> 01:38:12,090
pretty much all of our vendors that were there. Also one of the ones I met with Tyler Tech,

1169
01:38:12,090 --> 01:38:19,230
Tyler Tech is one of our big vendors for our county systems, which was interesting because I also met

1170
01:38:19,230 --> 01:38:27,350
with Grannis, which is also a new vendor that's providing our system for public information requests

1171
01:38:27,350 --> 01:38:31,750
and had a discussion with both of them about that process, so that was a pretty interesting conversation.

1172
01:38:32,990 --> 01:38:36,750
And then also there was a lot of discussion about PILT and IRS, SRS.

1173
01:38:37,710 --> 01:38:43,290
So WIR, which is a Western Interstate region, which is part of NACO.

1174
01:38:43,770 --> 01:38:47,950
We talked a lot, there's a lot of effort continuing to go on in regards to PILT,

1175
01:38:47,950 --> 01:38:49,930
because SRS is expiring this year.

1176
01:38:51,070 --> 01:38:54,970
And so it needs to be reaped again. PILT, we want full funding for it.

1177
01:38:54,970 --> 01:38:58,790
So just there's a lot of there was a lot of meetings and a lot of discussion about that.

1178
01:38:59,050 --> 01:39:00,770
So that was overall was a pretty good meeting.

1179
01:39:00,850 --> 01:39:03,130
It wasn't as good as some of the ones in the past.

1180
01:39:03,750 --> 01:39:11,290
I mean, I just want to note for the record, excuse me, we have kind of transition on Norco.

1181
01:39:11,350 --> 01:39:13,210
So Jeff is now on the board.

1182
01:39:13,290 --> 01:39:18,290
I was back actually in New Orleans when that happened, but Jeff is now the Norco board member.

1183
01:39:18,610 --> 01:39:23,570
And I understand that Commissioner Weathers from Hood River is now the chair of Norco.

1184
01:39:23,570 --> 01:39:25,450
So congratulations on that.

1185
01:39:26,250 --> 01:39:30,730
I wanted to let you know that McKet has been working a lot lately, a lot of McKet meetings.

1186
01:39:31,090 --> 01:39:36,550
They actually had a big finance meeting where they worked with all the board members to kind of update them on the staff

1187
01:39:36,550 --> 01:39:39,830
because McKet has had a lot of financial issues over the last couple of years.

1188
01:39:40,670 --> 01:39:42,810
Earlier, it was coming up next week.

1189
01:39:44,190 --> 01:39:48,790
And I've had some discussions with the developer of Basalt Commons.

1190
01:39:48,790 --> 01:40:04,170
So it sounds like things are going well, there is some challenges related to an extension needed at at basalt at urban renewal, but they've they've actually achieved some key elements which are going to be very productive in that.

1191
01:40:04,570 --> 01:40:09,990
And then mid come via center for living as a board meeting next week, so there'll be lots of information that we get there.

1192
01:40:11,290 --> 01:40:13,370
And that's all I have.

1193
01:40:13,370 --> 01:40:19,230
I just want to comment for the, for the, that's how this is secure role schools act that was originally

1194
01:40:19,750 --> 01:40:26,730
passed in 2000 way back when and piled this payment law of taxes. So there we go. Yep,

1195
01:40:27,350 --> 01:40:31,710
acronym. Sorry. Okay. I think that is it. Is there anything else for the good of the order?

1196
01:40:31,710 --> 01:40:39,750
Kristen, Arthur, Mike Middleton, Tyler, Christine.

1197
01:40:40,790 --> 01:40:41,390
All right.

1198
01:40:41,470 --> 01:40:41,970
Anybody else?

1199
01:40:42,750 --> 01:40:42,950
All right.

1200
01:40:43,110 --> 01:40:44,070
Thank you everyone for coming.

1201
01:40:44,330 --> 01:40:46,750
We appreciate you participating in the government of

1202
01:40:46,750 --> 01:40:49,790
