Airstrip
Continued from A1
Last week, the Deschutes
County Commission decided
not to hear the appeal of the
hearings officer’s decision,
mostly because the grounds
upon which the proposal was
denied is based on a state stat-
ute rather than a local, county
code.
It is unclear whether the ap-
plication will be appealed to
the state Land Use Board of
Appeals, also known as LUBA.
If it is not appealed, the denial
will stick and Polvi will not be
allowed to build the airstrip.
“I’m weighing the pros and
cons, but I haven’t made a deci-
sion yet,” Polvi said Friday.
While Polvi identified
nearby properties with agri-
cultural activities, the hearings
officer argued he did not do
enough to include descriptions
of the farm practices on sur-
rounding properties, or give
explanations as to how the air-
strip won’t change or drive up
the cost of those practices.
“It is quite possible that the
proposed airstrip can satisfy
the farm impacts test,” Tom
Brooks, the hearings officer for
this case, wrote in his decision.
“However, as I understand LU-
BA’s and the courts’ application
of that test, satisfaction of that
test must focus on the impacts
to farm practices rather than
on the compatibility with farm
uses.”
Senate
Continued from A1
Among the items was a bill
by Sen. Tim Knopp, Senate
Bill 699, to close a loophole
allowing for some medical
insurance policies to include
an exclusion for coverage of
pre-existing conditions.
Pharmacists could do more
of their work with custom-
ers and technicians by phone
or computer with the passage
of Senate Bill 629, by Sen. Bill
Hansell, R-Athena. Hansell
said it brings Oregon in line
with the rest of the states west
of Texas.
“The pandemic has made us
realize that many services we
depend on can be provided on-
“I’m weighing the pros
and cons (of appealing),
but I haven’t made a
decision yet.”
— Alex Polvi, a Deschutes County
resident who submitted the
airstrip application
It is also unclear whether
Nunzie Gould, a Deschutes
County resident who also ap-
pealed the hearings officer’s
decision but for reasons con-
cerning impacts to wildlife, will
appeal to LUBA. Her attorney,
Jennifer Bragar, declined to
comment when asked to elabo-
rate on the appeal.
The denial is a win for
groups like Central Oregon
LandWatch, which opposed
the airstrip proposal due to its
potential impacts to wildlife in-
cluding mule deer and golden
eagles. The airstrip was pro-
posed near particularly beauti-
ful landscapes that are home to
lots of recreation and fishing,
said Carol Macbeth, an attor-
ney with LandWatch.
The land use advocacy orga-
nization also argued the appli-
cant did not prove his project
wouldn’t impact surrounding
farm uses.
“We agree with that de-
cision, and we’re glad that it
stands,” Macbeth said Thurs-
day.
line or over the phone,” he said.
More than a year under
COVID-19 restrictions also
gave the state data that it could
change its fee structure for RV
use in Oregon State Parks by
increasing the amount charged
to nonresidents.
During the pandemic, a
drop in revenue from the lot-
tery and other sources hit the
Oregon Parks and Recreation
Department. In order to sus-
tain the more than 200 parks
and sites it oversees, the de-
partment raised revenue by
increasing the facility fees for
RVs from outside the state.
The result was $500,000
in additional revenue for the
parks budget between Septem-
ber 2020 and February 2021

The appeal filed by Gould,
which essentially argued the
hearings officer should have
denied the application for
more reasons than he did, in-
cluded a petition of roughly
400 signatures of people who
were against the proposal.
Macbeth said the major-
ity of those signatures were
from people who recreate in
the nearby Maston Recreation
Area.
Bragar, Gould’s attorney, de-
clined a request for comment
to discuss their appeal further.
Polvi, the applicant, said he
cares deeply about the wild-
life and natural beauty of the
area, which is why he chooses
to live where he does, and cited
the fact that both the Bureau
of Land Management and the
Oregon Department of Fish
Wildfire did not express any
concerns about his airstrip.
Not disrupting his neighbors
was also a priority to him, Polvi
said, which is why he reached
out to his immediate neighbors
to see if they would be OK with
his proposed airstrip. He said
anyone who would be “truly
impacted” did not object to the
project.
Polvi said the state’s land use
law is too subjective, which he
thinks enabled the denial.
“I’d like to see Oregon make
their laws more objective, so
they can’t be used arbitrarily by
people in power,” Polvi said.

with only a 5% drop in out-of-
state users.
Under Senate Bill 794 by
Sen. Kathleen Taylor, D-Mil-
waukie, the split fee favoring
residents would be made per-
manent. RVs from outside
Oregon will pay 25% more for
hook-ups and other spots.
State studies show the parks
department income will grow
to $2.1 million in the 2023-25
period. Nonresidents account
for 48% of those who make
RV reservations at Oregon
parks. The state forecasts the
higher fees will result in an 8%
drop in use by non-Oregon
RVs.
All the bills now go to the
House for a vote.

“Hearing nothing is un-
usual,” she said. “Especially if
they’re running for a public
office, this indicates a lack of
willingness to talk to the pub-
lic in the future.”
Although the League of
Women Voters and City Club
will broadcast their Bend-La
Pine School Board candidate
forum online at 5:30 p.m.
Thursday, the event will be
pre-recorded on Tuesday.
The other four Bend-La
Pine board candidates — in-
cumbent Carrie McPherson
Douglass and newcomers
Marcus LeGrand, Janet Sarai
Llerandi and Shirley Olson
— have all confirmed their
participation in the forum,
Loesche and Drucker said.
Cab Burge, a candidate who
will appear on the May 18 bal-
lot, decided after he filed for
election not to run.
Twelve of the 13 Redmond
School Board candidates also
agreed to participate in their
separate candidate forums,
Loesche and Drucker said.

Board races, like all Oregon
school board races, are non-
partisan. However, Loesche
said she was told by another
League of Women Voters
member that the four candi-
dates who appear to be skip-
ping the forum are Republi-
can-affiliated.
Loesche has led candi-
date forums for the League
of Women Voters since the
1970s — mostly in northwest
Indiana, where she previously
lived. She has never seen an
entire block of candidates skip
a forum while ignoring the
organization, she said.
“This idea that one party
won’t participate, I don’t get it
because I never ran into that
in all my years of doing fo-
rums,” she said.
Loesche said she believes
these candidates are skipping
the nonpartisan forum to par-
ticipate in a private, Deschutes
Republicans-hosted school
board forum on April 28.
Ginger Mugar — the plan-
ner for the Deschutes Repub-
lican Party who is organizing
her party’s candidate forum
— said she doesn’t know why

dates are ignoring City Club
and League of Women Voters.
“I have nothing to do with
that,” she told The Bulletin.
Mugar added that the Re-
publicans have not endorsed
any school board candidates
yet, and she hasn’t officially
confirmed who will be partic-
ipating in her party’s private
forum next week.
“I’m not sure how many are
coming,” she said. “There’s not
much I can say.”
The Bulletin editorial board
has also had difficulties set-
ting up interviews with these
four candidates, according
to Richard Coe, editorial
page editor.Henton and Lo-
pez-Dauenhauer have re-
sponded via phone or email,
but have not committed to an
actual interview, he said.
Haffner, Henton and Lo-
pez-Dauenhauer did not re-
spond to multiple requests for
comment from The Bulletin’s
city desk. Imel briefly spoke
with The Bulletin on Friday,
but a full interview could not
be arranged by Monday after-
noon.
