“I thought we got, I got one too, same thing. Every year this comes around. Do we get some kind of employee discount or something?”
“In terms of the appraisals, I know way back when there was just decades of appraisals that hadn't been done recently. And then you instituted the program where you can basically fly over and do that every what year, couple of years? Yeah. So how has that impacted the reduction in those that are needing to be appraised or has it?”
“Question about the requests to the taxing districts and how that went and any anticipation should there be no legislation which would increase a state stipend. What would that look like in terms of going to the taxing districts and saying, look at this, you know, universally statewide, this is just not going to work unless.”
“desperately need it and without it it probably falls to a different funding mechanism that pushes that burden onto the public so is there any uh is there any leverage or any teeth to anything to uh something that could be um we could approach the taxing districts with and and is there anything that could be done in that way to say look at Either this or that.”
“And you're already by state standards understaffed.”
“I think there was some discussion because early on I'd attended some of those meetings years ago. And with the sort of the ask that the county get involved. And I remember contacting, you know, having a discussion with Ken Friday. And there was some concerns not only about the cost, but also about any of the interfaces. So I don't know how that's changed. But it was a discussion.”
“Yeah, no, we're not going to do anything like that. I'm just going to.”
“Great idea. So it's not going to happen. Thank you. Thank you guys very much.”
“And the rural health money, the money that's gone to the state of Oregon from the federal government is what, I forget how many millions, but then those are, doled out to the counties for the non-competitive types of.”
“I would move approval of accepting the IGA. Okay.”
“I didn't get it. We'll just round up to it then.”
“Since we haven't, have we seen the bylaws? Because I haven't seen them and the roster. Can we put this off? Absolutely.”
“Yes, I would move approval of the Fair Policy and Community Pass Program with implementation targeted for January 1, 27, subject to operational readiness.”
“You want to do the second motion, I would move approval of the consideration of the proposed transit service adjustments for yam hill county again January 1 2027.”
“Quick question. So in Exhibit D, page 3, the bottom left for department use only. We're talking about August of 21. Under conditions and remarks shall not be used as a short-term rental, bed, breakfast, VRBO, et cetera. without first receiving land use approval. And that was, what was the year? Was that?”
“Yeah, I was just looking for that. OK, thank you.”
“A couple of things. And as far as your address on a license, that's visit or call the DMV.”
“I was just going to say that as far as an address on a license, we know that that's not necessarily proof that anybody lives at that address because people say that all the time. But anyway, a couple of questions. And this might be a question for Ken Friday. Did Luba or are we required? for the owner to live there. We also talked about an operator. So if somebody has a concern, a business, does it necessitate that the owner actually live and operate that particular business?”
“What about the fact that this was under appeal and building was continued, construction continued?”
“Well, that was brought up as one of the issues in terms of it The construction continued while it was under appeal. Is that an issue? Is it material? No. It's not? No. Okay. Would that be a code violation?”
“It would require a stay from the court. Yeah. Okay. And that never happened?”
“So the other, what was brought up was the farm campus, 22 cabins and yurts and those particular things on the same property. There was, was that something that was?”
“The building code, the OSSS code from R1 to R3, was there an issue with whether or not that was appropriate?”
“So our code, and we've had this discussion in terms of does the board or did the board ever want to address the fact that it was allowable for nine rooms, and we had talked about you know, what did we want to bring it down to five or four, but that's not the case because this exists and was built under the nine room.”
“Yeah, because I think we were going to, and then we never did. What about the 19 parking spaces? that would have been pretty much commensurate with the fact that there were nine rooms provided. So that would have to have been allowed.”
