“It's all public information and again with our Orstar system. So it's not like there's anything. You look up my name, look up Orstar, you get all the information real fast, all the history from the last 16 years. So, I mean, let's proceed.”

“I had to jump in there. So your letter talks about 543 gallons per week, and this was mentioned at a work session. Yes. Can you, was that a typo or what does that, what does that refer to? 543 gallons per week in the middle of your letter.”

“Well, real quick on that record moment there. Is words from a couple commissioners going to have legal merit there? I mean, it's just an open record period, rebuttal period, and final arguments. I understand you're saying let's not go back and forth during the open record period and then have to figure out rebuttal.”

“Oh, just acknowledging the heart-shaped garden out there with the big arrow in the middle of it, too. It took me until kind of the end of this thing to think, well, I don't know, is that a Goal 5 resource to see that thing that's been built out there? But it never came up. Okay. Okay.”

“Thank you for this work product. I know it's been a bumpy road since it was published, but even before that, it was lots of great outreach and discussions in the community. It is a big update for it. I was here for the 2011 comprehensive plan, and that was more the adoption my first year, so I didn't even have the big picture from before that, but I sure do now. And, yeah, I mean, there's moments. This is a moment in the state of Oregon's land use system, you know, 53 years into it, seeing that, hey, you know, we love it so much, we don't want anything to change, but probably things are going…”

“Just to understand real clear, so this is capital that would go on the ground at this site, and there's an estimate of $173 million, correct? I mean, so this is not property, real property tax, but capital assets. No, that one's not working. The middle one is on. Got to wiggle the wire or something. Did the middle one works?”

“We don't know if it'll go up or down even. Okay. See, that helps. Yeah. So it's just a number.”

“That's fine, though. So it's kind of a blurry number, but this is the scope of the number. It's... 100-something million, 1.75 million, 175 or 3 million or whatever. But I mean, that's just a starting point. I was trying to say it a different way.”

“Another question I have, just to get it out there, is are we representing Deschutes County's one tax rate here? Are we representing other jurisdictions by having this discussion? Because we've got countywide 9-1-1, but also there's the school district, the fire districts. And are we representing more than just Deschutes County here?”

“So like the sheriff's rates and the sheriff rural patrol and 911 are county wide rates. I mean, I guess I hadn't thought through all that yet.”

“Yeah. But, I mean, it talks about $1.20 tax rate percentage. So that percentage point.”

“Got it. Okay. Just because that's close to our permanent rate, too. That's why the number wasn't real clear. Okay.”

“And we don't know the scope and scale of those dollars.”
