The director, Beini, is going to be signing this document, just acknowledging that we're all kind of involved with these things at multiple angles. Also, yesterday, I was able to go to the managed camp that's on the ground out there. And this is going to empower a left turn because, of course, I took that left turn in a high-speed situation yesterday. And it's going to be exciting seeing that happen. COIC is having a board…”

“Understood. And then transfer-wise, there's the APEX report and the solid waste, World War II solid waste cells on there, environmental management of the old Rod and Gun Club. So there's like this gray area of why would I take it if these aren't mitigated? But, I mean, this is the action to be done. So it is kind of priming the pump for forward progress here, and this is the step, and I'm excited to get here. Okay.”

“Whereas many of the people who have died by suicide never receive effective behavioral health services for many reasons, including the stigma of using behavioral health treatment and the stigma associated with losing a loved one to suicide. Whereas far too many Deschutes County residents die by suicide each year. whereas Deschutes County is dedicated to partnering across community sectors to reduce suicide attempts, deaths, and the pain experienced by those affected. This is witnessed by recognizing suicide as a significant public health issue in Deschutes County and declaring suicide…”

“So just a little bit of procedure. I did get your memo yesterday for this and was able to review that. The water attachment, I didn't go into detail on that, but I see what that is. And then also the emails. So as I say, I've been in that spot where it's kind of like this window of input coming as we open up these public hearings. There's a point in time where I've got all those emails and I brought my laptop if there's something that I have referenced to you that I just need to get electronically. So just being more prepared to have the latest information. And this is a public hearing open…”

“a couple notes uh you know so our minutes from june 1st which was on our agenda today we talk about our comprehensive plan and the pre-2000 and post-2000 uh exception lands so there you know it's just interesting that we have a couple paragraphs on that referring to the comprehensive plan so it's the bigger picture But also getting really grounded on the fact that the Destiny Court case said two acre minimum is urbanization. And then the BCL case, which is the solar panels east of Bend, is the case that defines the 10 acre comprehensive plan 3.3.1. So just getting real clear on these things…”

“So then 3.3.1 in 2011, when it was adopted in the comprehensive plan, was just the words, the minimum parcel size for a new rural residential lot shall be 10 acres. And it was post that acknowledgment that the west side transect zone effort came in. And it was a partnership by the property owners. It was the transect stepping out on the west side of end. So I was just acknowledging that it evolved, even since the acknowledgment of the original comprehensive plan version in 2011, to add that first half of that statement. Correct.”

“Isn't a condition just curing a conflict that's being challenged? I mean, it's not legislative across the organization. It's curing a conflict that's being challenged by you, you know, parties. So you're trying to come up with the logic that we're changing the code or changing everything. It's really just curing something that's been brought up.”

“One other note. You mentioned that the nitrogen in water being utilized by the city for crop growth. There's a clarity moment there because I did that for many years at a sewer pivot, southern Deschutes County, south of Sun River. There's non-detect for nitrates in the water. Maybe that's an assumption on your part, but it feels good to think, oh, good, there's probably some nutritional value in there. There usually isn't. I mean, the system works, the lagoon sits there for most of a year, the water goes out in the field, there's like nothing in it. So it was just an offhand statement you…”
