Regional Strategy: Identification and Brief Description of the Principal Industry or Economic Activity Chosen as the Focus for the Strategy Program. The goal is to provide economic diversity, stability, and prosperity for Central Oregon. Building on the area's strengths and resources, the Central Oregon Regional Strategy was developed to strengthen tourism both as an economy of itself and as a vehicle to attract new business. Necessary to both components is an improved highway transportation system. A major portion of the Central Oregon Regional Strategy is to improve Highway 97 from Warm Springs to Sunriver. TOURISM AS-AN ECONOMY To further promote and develop tourism and spread the tourism income more evenly throughout the tri- county area. 2 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090-0074 - To provide a magnet, the Welcome Center, which will offer, not only region wide, state -of- the -art tourism information and displays, but business information as well. TOURISM AS A VEHICLE TO ATTRACT NEW BUSINESS Central Oregon Economic Development Council, the Oregon Economic Development Department, Pacific Power and Light and Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council and local governments are in place to: - Make available area -wide business information to include: profile of the employment base, wage scales, availability of industrial sites, community profiles, available financing alternatives, traffic counts, information on local real estate, affordability of housing, community contacts, etc. Create and implement an industrial development marketing component that takes full advantage of the many visitors who are already here, introducing them to our area from a business standpoint, and inviting their consideration of Central Oregon for business expansion or development. - Make available consultation on business support services and employment services. - Assist in site location, obtaining permits and variances as needed. - Make available financial resources for infrastructure, capital outlay and operating costs. 4. Summary of Expected Job Creation Impacts of the Strategy: Training - related jobs include those jobs in the motel /hotel/ restaurant industry, sporting industry, real estate development industry, resorts, sports clubs, and recreation services. It does not include gas stations and retail stores which cater to the tourist trade and receive increased revenue as a result of that trade. 1986 was the first year of CORA's expanded tourism marketing effort. From 1985 to 1986, tourism related 3 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090-0075 employment jumped 15 %. Focusing on tourism, Central Oregon expects to continue the increase in tourism related employment. (See Addendum 1, Central Oregon Job History and Projection). In addition to tourism related jobs, Central Oregon looks forward to greater diversification as a result of tourism. Presently, there are over 400 jobs in the high tech field in Central Oregon - -a relatively new phenomenon to the area. Examples include a high tech publication, membrane research and manufacturing, computer programming, computer product development, computer software and computer manufacturing. 5. Describe Efforts to Form Larger Regions with Neighboring Counties. If this strategy is being submitted by a single county, provide documentation which strongly demonstrates the unique circumstances which preclude this county from developing a joint strategy with one or more of its neighbors. Describe efforts to work with neighboring counties to form multi- county regions and explain why these efforts were unsuccessful. Deschutes, Crook, and Jefferson Counties form a logical coalition for a regional strategies program. The three counties have a strong history of working together. - The Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council, founded in 1972, has provided tri- county services in both the employment areas and in providing technical assistance for numerous grants. - The Central Oregon Recreation Association, although funded by a portion of the Deschutes County transient room tax, promotes the Central Oregon region. - The Central Oregon Economic Development Department Council, founded in 1980, has been working actively to assist businesses in the tri- county area. The Youth Conservation Corps for troubled youth is a tri- county program. The Regional Arts Council of Central Oregon, organized to promote arts for the region, is made up of members from the tri- county area. - The Central Oregon businesses banded together and raised $40,000 to lure a major air service into 4 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090 -0076 the Redmond -Bend airport. The private sector in Central Oregon then joined forces and pledged $500,000 to assure the airline's success. With a track record of cooperation and area wide accomplishments, we are continuing our teamwork in the development of a regional strategy. No new efforts were necessary, nor were any multi- county efforts unsuccessful. [Regional Strategy Form Page 1 Complete] 6. Delegation of Strategy Development Responsibility a. Did one or more of the counties participating in this strategy delegate the authority for development of the strategy to another organization? If yes, please identify the county and the organization. Yes. The three county boards of commissioners and city commissions appointed representatives to serve on the Committee of Seven, made up of Lois Bristow Prante, Chair, and Chair of the Deschutes County Commission; Mike Kozak, City of Bend Commissioner; Bob Riggs, Mayor of Redmond; Helmer Wallan, Jefferson County Commissioner; Rick Allan, Mayor of Madras; Ted Comini, Crook County Commissioner; Steve Uffleman, City of Prineville Councilman. b. For each county listed in 6a that delegated authority to another organization to conduct the first required public hearing, attach a signed copy of the ordinance adopted for that purpose. Not applicable. 7. Involvement in Strategy Development Provide a list or describe the representation of those persons principally involved in strategy development. Also describe efforts made to involve all areas, major economic development groups and disadvantaged and minority groups in the region, even if they do not concur fully with the results of the process or if they chose not to participate. Governor Neil Goldschmidt called for area agendas. Central Oregon responded. The Central Oregon Economic Development Council, Inc., convened a meeting of tri- county business, recreation, and political leaders to 5 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY • • • 0090-0077 put forth ideas which were condensed into the region's Short Agenda. In November of 1986, a meeting was held in Redmond with 80 people attending from the tri- county area. This meeting was chaired by Greg Cushman and sponsored by the Central Oregon Economic Development Department. A Short Agenda committee was appointed, as a predecessor to the Committee of Seven, to evaluate the area's request and develop an agenda for the regional strategy. The result was the tourism development, enhanced by improved highway transportation, as key components to the region's economic growth. A committee of seven elected officials from the Crook, Deschutes, and Jefferson Counties was formed to accomplish the task of building a comprehensive regional strategy for Central Oregon. The people of Central Oregon are committed to the belief that the sum is greater than the parts. By coalescing efforts and complementing strengths, we have attracted visitors and businesses alike. Through the merging of public and private goals and efforts, we have succeeded in bringing scheduled jet air service to the region and in marketing that service to launch Central Oregon into destination resort status. The foundation is in place for the ambitious next step outlined in this proposal. The region's highway transportation goals are being addressed through the State Department of Transportation in cooperation with the local agencies. This proposal details how Central Oregon is building upon its tourism business, both to expand its offerings and to tap its visitors to bring new business to the area. The strategy features a Welcome Center, complementary projects that benefit, not only individual areas, but the region as a whole, as well as specific marketing to the business people already here as a result of our CORA tourism marketing program. Financing is included to enable us to respond quickly to start -up and expanding businesses to encourage relocation and help assure success. The plan outlined in this regional strategy that: Capitalizes on the effort; 6 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY proposal is the basis for a region's tourism marketing - Provides full services; - Directs visitors entire region; 0090 -0078 visitor information /reservation to enjoy the offerings of the - Strengthens and expands regional offerings by enhancing specific attractions; Provides convenient and comprehensive, areawide access to business relocation information; - Links potential businesses with COED, the Central Oregon organization providing basic business information and resources. - Improves Highway 97 necessary to support both tourism and business growth. - Provides a small, locally determined, loan program to enable timely local response in providing gap financing. The tourism and transportation components were presented to Governor Goldschmidt on March 17, 1987, in Bend, Oregon. 8. Public Hearings Please attach, for each participating county, a copy of the notice of public hearing and minutes from each of the two required public hearings. A public meeting was held in November of 1986 in Redmond, at which 80 people from the tri- county area attended (see Addendum 2). Concurrent public hearings were held before the Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson County Commissions on July 1, 1987. A copy of the public hearing notices, minutes, and testimony received at these hearings is included as Addendum 3. The three counties have tentatively set a final hearing date for January 13, 1988. 9. Strategy Adoption Please attach, for each participating county, a copy of the ordinance or resolution adopting the strategy document (or other evidence of formal adoption) and approving its submission to the state. 7 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY ©090-0079 Adoption of the final Central Oregon Regional Strategy is scheduled for January 13, 1988. 10. Signatures of County Officials Lois Bristow Prante, Chair Deschutes County Board of Commissioners Judge Dick Hoppes, Chair Crook County Board of Commissioners Judge Hershel Read, Chair Jefferson County Board of Commissioners [Regional Strategy Form Page 2 Complete] 8 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090 -0080 B. REGIONAL STRATEGY DESCRIPTION Overall Description of the Chosen Regional Strategy. This discussion should, at a minimum, include information on the following: 1. Discuss how the strategy will further the specific legislative objectives for the program. Please address each objective (refer to Section 4(2)(a) to (h) of Enrolled House Bill 3011, provided in Appendix A). 2. Describe how the strategy will become self- sustaining and not require continuing state subsidies. 3. Demonstrate that there exist adequate capital commitments to successfully complete the strategy implementation plan or future plans to seek needed capital. 4. Benefits to disadvantaged and minority groups. Describe how disadvantaged and minority groups in the region will be involved in the implementation of this strategy. Include a discussion of the job training and employment practices, such as affirmative action goals and bid solicitation from certified minority contractors, which will be used to assure this involvement. THE GOAL: The goal of the strategy is to provide economic diversity, stability, and prosperity for Central Oregon. THE STRATEGY: The strategy consists of a comprehensive plan of action using all available resources to achieve goals and objectives. An economic development strategy must contain a number of actions and resource components. To develop a strategy, it is necessary to first assess our regional strengths and resources. STRENGTHS: Natural beauty and desirability of the region. - Emerging tourism market. Well- developed and effective marketing effort. - A well - qualified labor pool. - A track re -Cord of businesses who have moved here after first' vacationing here. (See Local Business Survey, Addendum 4) 9 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090-0081 RESOURCES: Basic Resources include the quality of life; recreational opportunities; climate; geothermal; air, rail and highway transportation systems; timber and other agricultural resources; industrial minerals; labor pool (see Addendum 5). - Human Resources include the relatively high ratio of skilled and professional workers to unskilled workers in the work force, and the high numbers of workers available to new and growing business and industry. - Industrial Resources include forest products (primary and remanufactured); industrial minerals; high tech industries; miscellaneous light manufacturing; construction; some agriculture; tourism promoted by a well - developed and effective marketing effort (see Addendum 6). - Orcranizational Resources include Central Oregon Recreation Association; Central Oregon Economic Development Council; Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council; Central Oregon Community College; Regional Arts Council of Central Oregon; local city and county governments (see Addendum 7). - Financial Resources include local, state, and federal government funds (state lottery, CDBG, SBA, UDAG) other private foundations; industrial, individual, lending institutions (see Addendum 8). - Tourism Resources include Mount Bachelor, Seventh Mountain, Sunriver, Eagle Crest, Sisters, Smith Rocks, numerous mountain Billy Chinook, Prineville Reservoir, Black Metolius River, Kah- Nee -Ta, the Deschutes Springs, Haystack Reservoir, state parks, Museum, rockhounding, miles of mountain trails, fishing and hunting. Inn of the the town of lakes, Lake Butte Ranch, River, Warm High Desert and desert Building on these strengths and resources, the Central Oregon Regional Strategy was developed to strengthen tourism both as an economy of itself and as a vehicle to attract new business. Necessary to both components is an improved highway transportation system. A major portion of the Central Oregon Regional Strategy is to improve Highway 97 from Warm Springs to Sunriver. 10 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090 -0082 TOURISM COMPONENT Welcome Center The heart of this proposal is a state Welcome Center with state -of- the -art equipment, displays and media presentations designed to enhance the visitor's Central Oregon stay and encourage them to visit other state attractions. This center will serve as a magnet for the region's aggressive visitor marketing campaign -- a high - profile commitment to the development of a destination infrastructure necessary to support Central oregon's continually expanding tourism offerings. Reservation /Activities Coordination Center Central Oregon is drawing a growing number of destination visitors vs. day or weekend guests. As a result, it becomes increasingly important to put into place systems that enhance the destination guests' vacation planning process. Tourists will be able to make reservations, purchase tickets, or gather information on area -wide events, activities, and points of interest by calling a single. toll -free number. Fierce competition exists for the lucrative destination vacation guest. The region that wins is often the one that most easily facilitates the vacation decision. Through this comprehensive center, guests can schedule their visit through one toll -free call. All decision can be confirmed through a single conversation, enabling Central Oregon to compete more efficiently and effectively. Business Information Center - COED This comprehensive business and industrial information system includes the following major elements: a Welcome Center complex, business information center, a portable recruitment information center, prospect - accessible data base, and a satellite information system at the Redmond Airport Center. This project will generate prospect interest, respond to prospect requests for information in a professional and innovative manner, improve interregional economic development coordination and communication, and further enhance our ability to tap tourism in our efforts to locate new businesses in the Central Oregon area. 11 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090 -0083 Industrial Development Marketing Component A region wide program that installs hotel and major attraction lobby displays, motel room tent displays and in- room guest directories describing regional business opportunities as well as region wide recreational attractions. Also, displays and directories will refer guests to the Welcome Center for complete information. Further, this component includes marketing efforts that tie business development more closely to tourism marketing efforts. Redmond Chamber Satellite Located on Airport Way a short distance and visible from Highway 97, this center will meet the needs and interest of visitors who fly to Central Oregon. Our new air service has doubled the number of people coming by air. A shuttle will be available from the airport to the center, allowing people who are waiting between flights to spend time getting to know Central Oregon. This center will be tied electronic- ally to the tourism hub in Bend. Those tourists flying in and going directly to Sisters, Culver, Madras, or Prineville will have the opportunity to see displays of the entire area otherwise not available to them. Tri-Countv Media Packaae The Welcome Center complex will include a bank of computers used by visitors to access region -wide information on things to do, places to see, and events to attend, facilitating the visitors' decision regarding Central Oregon vacation agendas. This package will present the region through displays, videos, slide shows, and brochures, both within the center and by presentations throughout the area with portable hardware and media. Backlit displays will present a range of day trips and convey approximate miles and route highlights. A library of five - minute video tapes and slide shows will present specific areas of interest ranging from rockhounding, skiing, fishing, to windsurfing, backpacking, rockclimbing, and whitewater rafting, giving the visitor fast and easy access to a wide array of regional offerings. Reaional Arts Council /Modular Unit Available in sections, this state -of- the -art, portable tent can handle from 200 to 900 people and could house region wide events including the popular dinner opera for the 12 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090-0084 community college, a summer weekly band performance, choral groups, the Cascade Festival of Music, the museum's annual dinner, the wine and cheese festival -- the list goes on. Metolius Roadside Information Sign The beautiful Metolius area is a gem unknown to too many. The roadside signs and maps will announce a variety of hard - to -find hidden treasures to visit in Central Oregon. Madras Readerboard This display will announce area wide activities and include ski conditions, road conditions, arts festivals, rodeos, music festivals, theater offerings, and more. The tourism center will be announced, encouraging people to stope for complete information on Central Oregon. Rodeo Chutes for LaPine This rodeo facility is a community effort. LaPine has asked for bucking chutes and roping /bulldogging chutes to enhance their new arena. Facilities will be open to significantly expanded activities to draw tourists to the southern part of Central Oregon. There are no other such facilities within a 50 -mile radius. Culver Transfer Station and Sian In the Metolius, Culver, and Round Butte Dam areas, there are not facilities for the dispensing of waste from motor homes and travel trailers. A transfer station for the Culver area will provide for Central Oregon's thousands of tourists traveling in campers and RV's. This station will be accompanied by a sign showing other areas visitors may wish to see. Hiah Desert Museum Satellite The High Desert Museum presently has a tourism center. The expansion of this center would include an electric tie -in with the major Welcome Center in Bend and allow the 80,000 people visiting the museum annually to view displays of the entire Central Oregon area. Prineville Theater Increased cultural events mean more access to the arts for the entire area. This community theater would house a multitude of events in a community presently without a facility. Plays by the theater group, the high school, and from visiting artists; concerts, candidates' fairs, choral 13 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0000 -0085 offerings, and dance recitals are among the many activities that will take place in the Prineville Community Theater, which will broaden and balance the appeal to tourist as well as residents in our area. Transportation/ Hicrhwav Improvement The Highway 97 corridor, the major highway throughout the region, will be upgraded to allow a higher volume of road traffic to move throughout the region safely and efficiently. (See Addendum 9) 1. Obiectives of House Bill 3011, Section 4(2)(a) Throuah (h) Section 4(2)(a): Build or enlarge economically viable industries, with reasonable long -term growth prospects, including opportunities for innovative new industries. The Regional Strategy is designed to enlarge our already flourishing tourism industry and build upon the excellent marketing program operated by CORA. Further, the Regional Strategy is designed to spread the tourism industry more evenly throughout the tri- county area. Among the hundreds of thousands of Central Oregon visitors each year are thousands of business executives who represent untapped development potential. The strategy makes a direct connection between the region's recreational and business advantages, and clearly invites these individuals to consider business relocation or start- up. The Inn of the Seventh Mountain has 60,000 visitors annually. Sunriver has 450,000 guests annually, half of whom are from out of state. Black Butte Ranch has 75,000 rounds of golf played on their course annually. The Riverhouse has over 80,000 guests each year. The Redmond - Bend Airport has over 40,000 coming into Central Oregon. There are 635,000 skier days at Mount Bachelor each year as well. Improvement of Highway 97 is essential to accommodate both increased tourism as well as business and light industry. By tapping tourism to bring new business, Central Oregon will provide an opportunity for new, innovative industries. Section (4)(2)(6): Result in a net benefit to the state in the long -term and not require continuing state subsidies. The regional strategy is designed so that all components have sufficient match money and ongoing funding where 14 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 009.0-4086 necessary. Each segment of the tourism component of the Regional Strategy is designed so that match monies are on the table before requesting monies from the State of Oregon. The magnet component, the Welcome Center, is dependent upon a one percent addition to the existing six percent room tax now in effect in Deschutes County. This one percent will be committed to the construction of the Welcome Center and to supporting ongoing tourism efforts. This will be placed on the ballot before Deschutes County voters on November 3, 1987. (see Addendum 10, Resolution and Sample Ballot). Improvement of Highway 97 is done with state funds allocated in support of the Central Oregon Regional Strategy. Section (4)(2)(c): Utilize existing public and private assets, including infrastructure, human resources, and plant and equipment. The Central Oregon Regional Strategy utilizes existing resources. The tourism industry in place represents many millions of dollars in investment: Mount Bachelor, with its ten ski lifts (three doubles and four triples, one super express triple, and two super express quads) serve an average of 533,000 skier days per year and represents a capital investment of $17 million. Sunriver is a destination resort providing a myriad of visitor activities. Kah- Nee -Ta, located on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, is a destination resort highlighting its natural hot springs pool and baths, as well as Native American cultural activities. The Inn of the Seventh Mountain is a destination resort with a host of activities serving the tourism market. Eagle Crest, a new destination resort addition to the Central Oregon area, and the many hotels /motels, restaurants, and sporting and cultural activities provide a solid base for a flourishing tourism market. Four new hotels and motels are currently either under construction or on the drawing boards. This region pulled together, raising over $40,000.00 in private donations, to lure a major airline to provide service to the Redmond -Bend airport. Five hundred thousand dollars was pledged to cover the first year's shortfall and pay full fare should the average passenger rate fall below 16 passengers the first year. None was needed. Pacific Southwest Airline (PSA) has averaged over 30 passengers per flight. Total enplanements were up significantly (See Addendum 11, Bend /Redmond Airport Enplanement Data) In human resources, Central Oregon has an available labor pool of highly qualified people and is able to attract the best in the business because of the desirability of the area. 15 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090 -0087 Organizational resources include the Central Oregon Economic Development Council, Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council, Central Oregon Community College, the Regional Arts Council of Central Oregon, and Central Oregon Recreation Association. These organizations are effective, active, and have a track record of area wide cooperation. Central Oregon Recreation Association conducts a highly sophisticated and effective marketing campaign for the Central Oregon region. Last year, CORA leveraged the 20 percent room tax funding of $140,000 to a $1.3 million media buy targeted at the entire West Coast, from Seattle to San Diego. The upcoming campaign will leverage the $160,000 in public funds to $1.75 million. Last year, PSA's contribution was $40,000, and because of the success of the campaign, they have contributed $100,000 for this marketing effort. The tourism component of the Regional Strategy requesting $500,000 represents a small percentage of the total tourism effort in the tri- county area. (See Addendum 16.) Section 4(2)(d): Improve the conditions of the economically disadvantaged and increase the number of family wage jobs. Tourism provides numerous entry level positions, creating opportunity for the disadvantaged to enter the workplace. A number of highly skilled jobs and family wage jobs also exist in the tourism industry. Many proprietorships and businesses catering to the tourist trade benefit from an increased tourism market. The most significant factor for bringing family wage jobs will be the diversification resulting from promotion of the area. Data indicates that, not only an increased number of people visit the area, but a significant number of businesses owners came first to vacation. These are the businesses that will assist us in diversifying the economy and provide the family wage jobs so needed in the Central Oregon area. The Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council operates the tri- county JTPA program, providing training and job placement to disadvantaged and minority groups. The Central Oregon Community College operates the Changing Directions program, providing job skills to disadvantaged women entering the job market. (See Addendum 12, COIC Job Placement Chart) Section 4 (2) (er: Harness Oregon's comparative advantage with emphasis on growth and development of existing in- state, especially small businesses. Central Oregon's Regional Strategy is designed to harness 16 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY ©O9O-OO88 the Central Oregon advantage - -the quality of life, the recreational opportunities, the climate, good schools, leading medical center, low crime rate, abundant natural resources, small town atmosphere, open areas. Numerous existing businesses, now dependent upon the tourism trade, will be strengthened through the regional strategy. (See Addendum 13.) Section 4(2)(f): Direct assistance primarily to strategies that assist businesses selling goods and services in markets for which national or international competition exists. Several local companies are now conducting trade with Pacific Rim countries. Those include Pozzi Window Company and Bend Millwork Company; several lumber manufacturers; Oregon Log Home Company; Recon Research; and Tektronix. Central Oregon is the location for filming the popular Japanese serial, "From Oregon with Love ". Over $1 million has gone into the Central Oregon economy as a direct result of this film project. Approximately 1400 international visitors (mostly Japanese), as well as significant numbers of domestic visitors, have visited Central Oregon due to the interest generated by this popular series. Section 4(2)(q): Result in economic revitalization of small cities and underdeveloped urban and rural areas. A major feature of the Central Oregon Regional Strategies is that it is designed to assist the outlying areas, small cities, urban and rural areas, by increasing their tourism market and more evenly spread the tourism income throughout the tri- county area. (See Addendum 14) Specific projects located in the outlying areas include the Madras Readerboard, which will direct travelers along Highway 97 to area recreational attractions. Culver will construct a Transfer Station designed to bring tourism related traffic into the town of Culver. The Prineville Theater will accommodate a number of cultural events for Prineville and the surrounding areas. The Metolius /Camp Sherman area will attract many more travelers as a result of the placement of a sign on Highway 97 informing travelers of the many recreational opportunities there. Redmond will construct a Chamber Satellite located near the airport, which will provide air travelers and others with information on Redmond, as well as the entire tri- county region. The rodeo chutes in=-LaPine will enable the community to enhance their existing amateur rodeo and attract more events to the facility, thereby attracting additional visitors to the area. Additionally, the Welcome Center and Business Information Center located in Bend will provide information relating to the entire tri- county area, not just the 17 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY O0OO -0089 population centers. The Welcome Center will provide benefit to the entire area, including outlying areas. This program enables every lodging facility- -large or small - -to market the recreation and business opportunities of the entire area, capitalizing on region -wide cross - selling while also assuring a minimum level of region -to -guest communication, regardless of location or size of the facility. Improvement of Highway 97 will benefit the entire region by enhancing transportation from Warm Springs to LaPine. Section 4(2)(h): Assure that public investments to implement the strategy are matched to the maximum extent possible by the contribution of private financial and other resources. The Central Oregon Strategy is matched 1:3.14. If one is to consider the dollars being spent directly on the specific components (see budget showing areawide spread, Addendum 17), the community match is significantly greater. For example, CORA's marketing effort leverages $160,000 of local transient room tax dollars to $1,750,000. The project was designed to be self- sustaining, and all ongoing costs and financial resources have been identified. The additional one percent room tax will go to the voters in Deschutes County in November of 1987. This additional income of $204,000, conservatively projected, per year will continue to be dedicated to tourism - related activities, including retirement of the debt for the Welcome Center and for operational costs of the Welcome Center (see Welcome Center Short List Proposal budget). 4. Each component of the regional strategy included the match money required for each project and verification that this money was "on the table" prior to any request from the state lottery funds (see Short List Project Proposal). 5. The Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council operates the tri- county Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA), and the Private Industry Council oversees the JTPA, a major program designed to train and place disadvantaged and minority groups. They will continue to serve as a resource in filling jobs created by the Regional Strategy. Warm Springs -Resort, Kah-Nee-Ta, is a major tourism attraction in the Central Oregon area and is owned and operated by the Native American residents of the Warm Springs Reservation. [Regional Strategy Form Page 3 Complete] 18 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY C. ECONOMIC ANALYSIS This part of the Regional Strategy Form contains four major questions. You must provide responses to each item. Sources of information relied on for the discussion of each (such as documents, experts) need to be cited specifically. 1. List and describe the natural, human, business and institutional resources in the region which are being or could be used to improve the region's economy. What opportunities are there to create jobs, income, and other indicators of economic progress? Natural Resources The Central Oregon region consists of a total area of 5,013,248 acres. Of this total, 53.9 percent, or 2,700,678 acres, is in federal ownership, primarily in forest and range lands; 3.2 percent, or 153,935 acres, are in agricultural land. This agricultural acreage is utilized for harvested field crops and excludes range lands. 1. Timber resources are the single most important extractive industrial resource in Central Oregon. Approximately 2.1 million acres of commercial timber area are available in two national forests and the Warm Springs Tribal lands. The current annual harvest is approximately 403 million board feet. In addition, significant quantities of raw and semi - processed timber and wood products are imported t the area for throughout the northwest region. 2. The known mineral resources of the region are of the non - metallic types called industrial minerals and include: pumice, scoria, cinders, building stone, diatomite, clay and sand and gravel. 3. Apart from these industrial /extractive resources, the region is blessed with an extensive variety of topography, geomorphology, microclimates, surface water and fish and wildlife resources that collectively provide virtually unlimited tourism and recreation opportunities. The Oregon Economic Development Department has estimated a 1985 expenditure for travel and tourism in Central Oregon -totaling $153 million. 4. Forest and wood products have been Central Oregon's economic centerpiece for decades. The wood products industry currently provides 75 19 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090 -0091 percent of the region's manufacturing employment. Significant opportunities exist for the maintenance of current employment levels and the diversification of this sector, particularly in secondary cutstock and remanufacturing wood production. Expansion is less likely. (See page 24, paragraphs 1 -2) The economic downturn of 1979 -1982 which was particularly devastating to the primary wood products industry, focused regional attention on tourism and recreation growth opportunities. The scenic and recreation resources of the region appear to offer the region's best advantage for future economic growth and diversification, both through increased tourism revenues and spin -off business location and expansion activity. Human Resources Central Oregon experienced significant population growth during the period 1970 -1980 moving from a region wide population of 48,975 to 86,832, or a gain of 77.3 percent. This growth rate slowed to 4.7 percent from 1980 -1986 yielding a current regional population estimate of 90,900. 1. Regional labor force growth mirrored the population expansion in the 1970 -1980 period expanding from 21,530 to 41,790, for a gain of 94 percent. This growth, coupled with the 1979 -1982 economic downturn resulted in devastating 1982 peak unemployment rates of 13.5 percent in Jefferson County, 19.3 percent in Deschutes County, and 24 percent in Crook County. Current projections suggest that regional labor force growth is averaging approximately 12 percent and is now leading population expansion. Analysts believe, however, that the low unemployment rates which the region is currently enjoying will fuel a renewed wave of migration to the region. 2. A large and comparatively well qualified labor force has historically been one of the region's primary economic assets. The attractive quality of life in Central Oregon has always assured an ample supply of available labor. The limited job opportunities in the region have had the effect of depressing wage rates and significantly reducing worker turnover. Unemployment has been a`'cyclical problem which underemployment has been a fairly constant one. 3. Expansion in the service - retail fueled primarily by a booming tourism and recreation sector, have provided a 20 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090 -0092 significant number of new job opportunities in the period 1978 to 1987. THese jobs have, however, typically been at the lower end of the area's average wage scale. The effect of service and retail expansion are most apparent in Deschutes County where the median family wage is $24,100, ranking #13 on a statewide basis The average wage per job, however, is $16,777. The popular interpretation of this data is that the county has a disproportionate number of double wage earner families and a higher number of service /retail workers. 4. The quality and quantity of the region's available labor force represents one of the area's primary resources to leverage significant economic growth. Labor availability, low turnover and comparatively low market wage scales have been attractive to businesses and industries seeking location and expansion opportunities. The economic growth and diversification of the region's economy is the single best solution to the perennial problems of unemployment, underemployment and low wages which have historically plagued the region. Business and Institutional Resources The business resources of the region are both private and public sector in character. The private sector resources include: a diverse group of commercial, industrial and agriculture businesses; a focused investment of capital in the forest and wood products industries; and active and positive chambers of commerce and business associations in Bend, Redmond, Sisters, LaPine, Madras /Jefferson County and Prineville /Crook County. Collectively, these organizations have a combined membership of approximately 1,700 businesses. 1. Public sector business resources are focused in the Central Oregon regional organizations and local governments. The counties of Deschutes and Jefferson operate business revolving loan programs with a combined initial capitalization of $1.2 million and current portfolio totaling $1.26 million. The Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council operates an SBA 504 Certified Development Company, revolving loan programs with combined portfolios totaling $647,500 and a JTPA program that infuses training subsidies totaling $1.3 million into the regional economy on an annual basis. The Central Oregon Economic Development Council is a regional marketing organization with 350 members. This organization is a public /private partnership organized to encourage commercial and industrial concerns to 21 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090 -0093 locate in the Central Oregon area. The Central Oregon Recreation Association is a public /private partnership organized to support the tourism and recreation economy of the region through a well planned strategy of advertising and promotion. 2. The private and public business assets of Central Oregon are characterized by positive and cooperative organizations and associations. These groups will be active participants in the region's strategy to realize economic expansion and diversification. [Regional Strategy Form Page 4 Complete] 2. List and describe at least two principal economic activities which the region did not choose as the focus for the proposed strategy. Background The three basic industries in Central Oregon are agriculture, primary wood products manufacturing and tourism and recreation. Agriculture and primary wood products manufacturing were not chosen for the regional, job creating strategy; because they do not offer sufficient potential for expansion, and they face natural resource constraints. A description of these two industries follows. 1. Agriculture: There are a number of reasons why agriculture was not chosen as a candidate for the regional, job creating strategy. They include: the fixed quantity of land available for agriculture production; the high level of automation and limited requirements for employees; the harsh climate and short growing season which limits the variety of crops which can be grown; and the current depressed nature of the agriculture industry. a. Irrigation is required for crop production in Central Oregon. Water rights for farm use were adjudicated over 40 years ago. No additional sources of water are available without additional multi - million dollar reclamation projects. The following_ chart shows harvested acreage in the three counties. Harvested acreage normally connotes irrigated acreage. 22 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY Harvested Acreaae Summa County 1985 1986 Crook 58,020 59,240 Deschutes 26,050 26,230 Jefferson 79,765 68,465 TOTAL 163,835 153,935 Source: OSU Extension Service b. Farms in Crook and Jefferson Counties are significantly larger than those in Deschutes County and are utilized for field crops and farm animal production. According to the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Census, 85 percent of the farming done in Deschutes County is done by hobby or part time farmers. Crook County is the largest producer of cattle and other farm animals. Jefferson County is the largest producer of field crops, such as hay, grain, grass seed, peppermint and potatoes. c. Agriculture employment has not materially increased during the past ten years. This is primarily due to the fixed acreage available for farm production. Further, the number of farm jobs is small by comparison with the annual value of production. For instance, gross sales of agriculture products in Jefferson County were $40.7 million in 1985. Yet, only 650 employees were required to produce this dollar value. This represents $62,615 of production per employee and is due primarily to the extensive use of planting, harvesting and other farm equipment. The following charts show agriculture employment and gross farm sales.

The growing season in Central Oregon ranges from 75 to 105 days. Frosts, however, may occur in any month of the year. For this reason, crops are restricted to grains, grasses peppermint and root crops. Garden vegetables may be grown if carefully managed. This short growing season and constant threat of freezing limits the variety of rops and potential income. e. For the past several years, the farming community has faced difficult and, in some instances, devastating economic conditions. Farm exports have dropped. produce prices have remained constant or dropped. Prices for equipment and supplies have increased. Farmers have been hard pressed to pay off their land and equipment loans. in many instances, it has been necessary to liquidate their farms. Although the situation appears to be improving, the farm crisis has not been resolved. 2. Primary Wood Products Manufacturinv: Primary wood products manufacturing includes tree farming, logging and manufacturing a product, such as dimension lumber or plywood. Secondary wood products manufacturing is the production of molding and specialty products from dimension lumber. Primary wood products manufacturing is a cyclical industry which depends upon the volume of national housing starts which, in turn, depends upon the housing demand and the mortgage interest rates. This industry was not chosen because of the cyclical nature of demands, the impact on employment and economic conditions and the diminishing volume of raw materials (stumpage). 2lncrease due primarily to a revised computation procedure introduced in 1983. 24 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090-0096 The cyclical nature of this industry was cruelly demonstrated during the recession which started in 1979 and did not start to recover until the middle of 1983. In 1978, national housing starts were 2.02 million for the year, while 5,190 people were employed in wood products manufacturing in Central Oregon. By 1981, national housing starts had gradually dropped to a low of 1.08 million units. Lumber and wood products employment in Central Oregon dropped 40 percent to 3,090 employees. In May 1981, unemployment rates were 11.9 percent in Deschutes County and 11.4 percent in Crook County. Jefferson County, on the other hand, had an amazingly low rate of 5.7 percent. This was partially due to a decision on the part of Warm Springs Forest Products Company to produce for inventory rather than curtailing production and creating unemployment. In March of 1982, unemployment rates jumped to 24 percent in Crook County and 19.3 percent in Deschutes County. These were the highest rates recorded during the recession. By 1983, national housing starts had returned to $1.7 million units. Central Oregon lumber employees had increased to 4,800 which was 92.5 percent of the 1978 total. This improvement of the wood products manufacturing industry was also validated by the increase in U.S. Forest receipts3 to counties from timber harvests. During FY 1982, payments to the three Central Oregon counties totaled $3.5 million. During FY 1983, payments increased 83 percent to $6.4 million. Lumber and wood products manufacturing has a significant impact on employment and economic conditions throughout Central Oregon. During December, 1983, it represented 98 percent of manufacturing employment in Crook County and 36 percent of total employment. In Deschutes County, 73 percent of manufacturing employment was wood products, while 69 percent of Jefferson County's manufacturing employment was wood products. These relationships have not changed substantially during the past three and one - half years. The following chart shows employment relationships in May, 1987. 3Twenty five percent of harvested sales during the fiscal year. 25 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090 -0097 Impact of Wood Products Manufacturina4 Lumber as % Lumber as % County Total Employment Manufacturing Employment Crook 38% 98% Deschutes 12% 66% Jefferson 21% 75% TOTAL 17% 75% Source: Oregon State Employment Division Although the cyclical nature of the wood products industry has a profound impact on employment levels in Central Oregon, it also has an impact on income. Average annual income from manufacturing employment in 1986 ranged from $19,430 in Deschutes County to $23,834 in Jefferson County. In Deschutes County, for instance, manufacturing wages of $9.72 per hour are exceeded only by transportation and utilities and federal and state government wages or salaries. The average for all covered employees is $7.92. Thus, a major reduction in wood products employment will create a significant reduction in income to Central Oregon. Finally, there is a limited potential for future growth of the primary wood products manufacturing industry. A number of studies have been prepared which indicate the timber supply in Oregon is declining. In "Forestry in Oregon ",5 the statement is made: "If all owner groups continue to pursue their present course of action, there will be a marked decline in the flow of timber from forest lands." The forecasted annual harvest of timber in the Bend - Klamath Timbershed may be reduced 14 percent over a 30 year period (1980- 2010). Harvests from the national forests will drop 5 percent, but harvests from all other sources will drop 30 percent. All other sources include lands owned by private concerns, the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, Oregon State and the Bureau of Land Management. The Bend - Klamath Timbershed is a nine county, mid- Oregon area, which extends from the Columbia River to the California border and includes Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson Counties. 4Non- agriculture wage and salary employment. 5 "Forestry in Oregon ", 1980 Timber Supply Assessment, Oregon State Forestry Department, December 1980. 26 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090 -0098 Thus, there is a potential decline in Central Oregon timber harvests. This decline, when coupled with continuing automation of mills and logging operation, could decrease employment in primary wood products manufacturing during the next 30 years. The cyclical nature of this industry is a further reason to choose a different industry for the Central Oregon Regional Strategy. [Regional Strategy Form Page 5 Complete] 3. Explain why the chosen strategy is the best opportunity for the regional strategy program at this time. Of the resources described in Question #1 above, describe those which are unique or significant in the region that provide the foundation for the chosen strategy. Background Of the three basic economic industries in Central Oregon, tourism and recreation are the only industries which are not cyclical in nature and offer a sustainable growth potential. Central Oregon is a "Four Season Vacationland" with the famous Mt. Bachelor Ski Area providing a superb winter attraction. The destination resort, motel and restaurant businesses have a continually increasing capability to accommodate large numbers of tourists. Transportation is available to visitors by automobiles, buses and airlines. The labor force, supported by a 90,900 population, is adequate in numbers and well trained. Additional training is available through the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council (COIC), Central Oregon Community College (COCC) and the local school systems. Excellent private and public support has been demonstrated for the strategy. Finally, local economic development personnel have recognized that introducing visitors to Central Oregon through tourism and recreation is a substantial method for increasing and diversifying local manufacturing and non - manufacturing industries. Growth Potential A number of indicators reveal tourism and recreation has demonstrated a continuing growth pattern over the past several years. From 1977 to 1983, tourism increased 47 percent or 7.8 percent per year. Their expenditures increased 222 percent, or 37 percent per year. By 1983, an estimated 1.5 million people visited Central oregon. Their estimated expenditures were 187 million. Unfortunately, this series of data is no 27 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090 -0099 longer available, since the new travel data system' was introduced by the Oregon Economic Development Department in 1984. 1. The two employment sectors most readily effected by tourism and recreation are wholesale and retail trade and service and miscellaneous. During the nine year period from May, 1978, to May, 1987, wholesale and retail employment increased 30 percent, while service and miscellaneous increased by 73 percent. This is 4 percent and 8 percent per year, respectively. Total employment during this same period increased from 27,130 to 34,620, only 27 percent, or 3 percent per year. 2. A very recent study was prepared by Michael Mahan, Labor Force Economist, Oregon Employment Division. This study isolated employment in specific industries for Deschutes County during the period 1975 through 1986, a total of 11 years. The tourist related businesses were hotels, motels, restaurants, real estate developers, sports clubs, resorts and recreation services. The study revealed a 138 percent increase in employment with specific tourist related businesses. This is a 12.5 percent per year, almost twice the growth rate of 6.5 percent for all other employees. Thus, there is a distinct growth pattern for tourism and recreation. Natural Resources The attractive environment in Central Oregon is a positive factor which attracts many visitors to the area. Over 50 percent of the total land belongs to federal or state agencies and is available to the general public. Great natural beauty abounds from the Cascade Mountains to the High Desert. There are unlimited opportunities for fishing, hunting, skiing, boating, mountain climbing, photography, rock collecting and many other outdoor avocations. Each county has major attractions. For instance, Jefferson County has the lower Deschutes River, the Metolius River, Lake Billy Chinook and major agate and thunderegg deposits. Crook County has the Ochoco Mountains, the Ochoco and Prineville Dams, the Crooked and Ochoco- Rivers and major agate deposits. Deschutes County has Mt. Bachelor, the Cascade Mountains, the Cascade Lakes and the Upper Deschutes River. 28 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090 -0100 Mt. Bachelor, a highly developed natural resource, has been operating as a destination ski resort since 1958, a total of 28 years. The area provides opportunities for both downhill and cross - country skiing. The current downhill capacity is 17,000 skiers per day, and this capacity should increase to 21,900 skiers within the next few years. A new expansion plan has been prepared and is being implemented. During the 1986/1987 season, 635,000 skiers utilized Mt. BAchelor. This is a 418 percent increase during the past 17 years, or an increase of 25 percent per year. With continuous snowfalls during the winter and light powdery snow, Mt. Bachelor is the northwest's premier ski resort. Access is available by automobiles from the four major points of the compass. Roads are "all weather" and readily usable throughout the winter. Excellent airline transportation is available from Portland Seattle, and San Francisco. Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) and Horizon Airlines provide service to Central Oregon at the Redmond Municipal Airport. Thus, Mt. Bachelor Ski and Summer Resort provides the one valuable asset which creates a truly "Four Season Vacationland ". Tourism and Recreation Facilities Central Oregon boasts a number of outstanding destination resorts, motels, hotels, restaurants, and guest ranches. The destination resorts and guest ranches include Black Butte Ranch, Inn of the Seventh Mountain, Kah-Nee-Ta, Mt. Bachelor Village, Rock Springs Guest Ranch, and Sunriver. The destination resorts provide an enjoyable mix of facilities and services from horseback riding to river rafting. Bend provides the principal source of tourist support for the Mt. Bachelor Ski Area. As a result, there are 2,500 motel rooms and countless good restaurants in Bend and Redmond. Current estimates indicate an additional 1,010 motel rooms will be constructed during the next two to three years. This represents a 40 percent increase in capacity. Excellent facilities are also available in Prineville, Madras, Redmond, Sisters, and LaPine. Thus, Central Oregon has the facilities to support a growing tourism and recreation industry. Transportation Central Oregon is located in the center of the state on U.S. Highways 97, 20, and 126. This enviable location provides access from the east, west, north, and south. Fortunately, the major roads are "all- weather" roads which permit automobile travel throughout the year. 29 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090-0101 Bus service demand is satisfied by both chartered and scheduled buses. Bus firms are the Pacific Trailways, Hamman Stage Lines, and Resort Bus Lines. Railway freight service is provided by the Union Pacific and the Burlington Northern Railways. Passenger rail service from Portland, Seattle, and San Francisco is available from Amtrak at Chemult, approximately 70 miles south of Bend. Excellent airline service is provided from Portland and other points in Oregon, Washington, San Francisco, and other points in California. Pacific Southwest Airlines provides two round trips daily between the Redmond Municipal Airport and San Francisco. Horizon Airlines schedules nine round trips per day between Portland and Redmond. Local limousine and bus service is available at the Redmond Airport, together with Avis, National, and Budget rental car agencies. Mount Bachelor provides mountain shuttle service from Bend seven days a week during the ski season. Local Support Local government, chamber of commerce, and business leaders have demonstrated outstanding support for the Central Oregon Regional Strategy. Favorable support has also been received from the local newspapers, including the Bend Bulletin. The three principal regional economic development organizations, Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council (COIC), Central Oregon Economic Development Council (COEDC), and Central Oregon Recreation Association (CORA), all recognize the importance of tourism and support the strategy. Two recent events demonstrate the level of community support. First, Central Oregon public and private sectors combined efforts and resources to secure jet airline service from Redmond to San Francisco from Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA). The state's leading banks and utilities joined Central Oregon businesses and municipal governments to establish a half million dollar support guarantee to ensure PSA received sufficient funds to cover their operating costs. Fortunately, passenger traffic volume was sufficient to cover PSA's costs and provide an operating profit. Secondly, CORA regional resorts and many other private and public supporters pooled marketing resources with PSA, American Express, and Oregon Lottery Funds to raise a $434,000 marketing fund. This fund was leveraged to provide a fall and spring (1986 -1987) tourism and recreation marketing program valued in excess of a million dollars. As a result, year to date tourism increased 42 percent, while Mt. Bachelor visitor days increased 35 percent to 635,000 visitor 30 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090- -0102 days. Another similar campaign is planned for 1987- 1988 with a 50 percent increase in budgeted funds to $650,000. Labor Force and Population The population in Central Oregon was 90,900 based upon the Portland State University estimate for July 1, 1986. Bend is the largest comprehensive market center with a city population of 18,575 and an urban area population of 35,000. Other major market centers are Redmond (population 6,380), Prineville (population 5,455), and Madras (population 2,340). Smaller cities with populations are Sisters (725), Culver (515), and Metolius (460). LaPine is an unincorporated rural service center with an estimated population of 950. Deschutes County is the largest county, with 72 percent of the Central Oregon population. The remaining population is almost equally divided between Crook and Jefferson Counties. 1) The labor force in Central Oregon is 48,540, dominated by Deschutes County with 35,630 workers. Labor forces are 6,760 in Crook and 6,150 in Jefferson Counties. During May of 1987, the composite Central Oregon unemployment rate was 6.2 percent. The potential labor force numbers over 6,000 workers. This force includes 3,020 unemployed workers and 2,980 other people (the silent labor force) who are willing to work if jobs are available. Workers are well trained and motivated. The only major unions are principally involved with lumber and wood products employees. According to the 1980 U.S. Census, there were 51,489 people in Central Oregon 25 years of age or older. Sixty -one percent have a high school education or one to three years of college, while 15 percent are college graduates. Twenty -four percent have an eighth grade education or one to three years of high school. 2) Training facilities for vocational skills are provided by the local Central Oregon high schools and the Central Oregon Community College (COCC). COCC, a two -year college, provides a wide range of academic, business, and medical courses. COCC also provides a number of special courses and programs to train workers for business and industry in Central Oregon. The Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council provides employment and training services for disadvantaged people under the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA). These 31 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090-0103 services include employment assistance and job training. The subsidized training may include on- the -job training in a business or industry and academic or technical training either with industry or at COCC. For instance, large classes of food service personnel were recently trained for Mt. Bachelor, Inc., and McGrath's Publick Fish House. Thus, Central Oregon has a well- trained potential and available work force of over 6,000 people. Training facilities and programs are available to provide specific skill required by new businesses. The Board of Directors of the Central Oregon Economic Development Council and the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council, together with chamber of commerce and government officials, have long recognized that tourism and recreation is a valuable method of introducing businessmen and industrial leaders to the quality of life in Central Oregon. A survey conducted in 1978 by the OSU Extension Service revealed that outdoor environment and quality of life were the predominant reasons people moved to and lived in Central Oregon. This applies to businessmen as well as citizens at large. Economic development leaders strongly believe a substantial tourism and recreation marketing program will produce important new businesses and industries for Central Oregon. A significant number of new businesses, established in Central Oregon during the past 15 years, have located here due to many and diverse opportunities for outdoor recreation experiences and because of favorable quality of life. The CORA tourism and recreation advertising program (1986 -1987) included information concerning industrial plant sites and opportunities. Queries were forwarded to the Central Oregon Economic Development Council for appropriate follow -up. Thus, the tourism and recreation strategy may provide convincing evidence that Central Oregon is an ideal place to live, work, and play. [Regional Strategy Form Page 6 Complete] 4. Discuss the barriers to implementation of the chosen strategy and identify ways to overcome those. barriers. Which of these constraints or deficiencies cannot be rectified at the regional level? BARRIERS: <> Regional Cooperation. COED, COIC, YCC, and other tri- county organizations provided a base on which to build regional strategy cooperation. A committee of seven elected officials from the three counties and cities 32 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY ©090-0104 within those counties was established to develop the strategy. <> Reaional Philosophy and Criteria for Participation. The Committee of Seven developed an agreed -upon set of criteria, advertised areawide for regional strategy proposals, and selected projects for participation. <> Match Monies to Levy Reaional Strateav Dollars. All participating projects identified and confirmed match monies. <> Land Trade for the Welcome Center Property. Deschutes County worked with the Oregon State Department of Transportation to trade the Powell Butte State Highway for property on Highway 97 in order to provide a building site for the Central Oregon Welcome Center. Secure Fundina for Remainder of Construction and Ongoing Operation of Welcome Center. Deschutes County went to the voters for an additional 1 percent on the transient room tax to be dedicated to tourism activities. This ballot measure passed with a 2 to 1 majority in the November election. Funding is now assured for the match construction funds as well as operational money. The City of Bend is passing a similar measure, and those monies will also go toward tourism activities and the Welcome Center operations. Develop Plans for Organizing and Operating the Central Oregon Welcome Center. A steering committee of community leaders was established to plan the Central Oregon Welcome Center and determine management and tenants. Contract with Architectural Firm for the Design. Deschutes County developed the Request for Proposals (RFPs) from architectural firms. The steering committee recommended to the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners the Bend firm of Huston Barber Barrett Turner. The Central Oregon Regional Strategy is ready to go. The remaining barrier is the $715,000 of lottery money needed to bring these efforts to fruition. [Regional Strategy Form Page 7 Complete] 33 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090-0105 D. 2. STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Regional Strategies Program SHORT LIST PROJECT PROPOSAL WAGE AND SALARY INCOME ANALYSIS Introduction: 0090 -0106 The legislature requires that regional strategies provide family wage jobs which are based on a percentage of the average earnings for a two - person family. In Central Oregon, this translates to $8.22 per hour. Since the majority of two - person families in Central Oregon have two incomes, it is difficult, if not impossible, to translate these figures to a one - person income of $8.22 per hour. In Central Oregon, few manufacturing jobs pay as much as $8.00 per hour. This strategy, however, has attempted to provide opportunity for the entire spectrum of jobs. Entry level jobs are being made available for disadvantaged workers or people who are entering the work force for the first time. Jobs which pay a family wage income and more become available as new businesses are brought into the area. The following is an indepth analysis of the wage structure in Central Oregon, and will outline our position in meeting the State's criteria. Preliminary wage and salary data for 1986 has recently become available. While adjustments may well occur prior to actual publication, changes of a substantive nature to the data for Central Oregon regional counties is not anticipated. Enclosed are tables comparing 1985 and 1986 wage and salary levels for each regional county. For 1986, the Consumer Price Index rose by an average of 1.9 percent. Therefore, average income over the 1985 -86 period would need to increase by at least that amount if real incomes were to have risen. Statewide, the average wage rose from $17,850 in 1985 to $18,318 in 1986, or a percentage increase of 2.6 percent. Thus, statewide real income rose slightly. The only regional county which saw a wage increase exceeding 1.9 percent was 'Lake County, up 4.9 percent. For the region as a whole, the gap between statewide and local wages widened slightly over the 1985 -86 period. The employment situation lends a more positive aspect to regional economic development - -wage and salary employment up 3.3 percent compared to only 2.9 percent statewide. While the manufacturing wage edged downward in all but Lake County, the amount or the decline was much less than anticipated given the extensive publicity concerning pay cuts in the forest products industry over this period. It may be that overtime and /or productivity bonuses have reduced the impact of these wage reductions. 34 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY OOP-0107 For Crook County, the average wage rose from $17,545 to $17,698 or 0.9 percent. Average covered employment registered a healthy gain of 200, half of which occurred in manufacturing. The county continued to have the region's highest average wage rate, although the manufacturing wage fell slightly. Leading wage earners are federal government, transportation and utilities, and manufacturing employees. For Deschutes County, the average wage fell from $15,866 to $15,847 or -0.1 percent, solidifying the county's position as having the region's lowest average wage rate. On the other hand, covered employment rose by 1400, a 6.3 percent increase, more than double the 2.9 percent averaged statewide. Leading wage earners are employees of the federal government, transportation and utilities, and state government. For Jefferson County, the average wage rose from $16,700 to $16,777 or 0.5 percent. Average employment in manufacturing now exceeds 1,000, with the region's highest average wage at $23,834. Covered employment rose by 259 or 7.2 percent between 1985 and 1986, compared to only 2.9 percent statewide. Leading wage earners are employees of transportation and utilities, manufacturing, and the federal government. TOURISM AS AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY The Central Oregon counties of Deschutes, Jefferson, and Crook have chosen tourism as the primary focus of economic development strategy. This examines the impact of their tourism /recreation on the economic growth of Deschutes County. The Tourism Division of the Oregon Economic Development Department estimates the 1985 travel expenditure in Deschutes as totaling $140,672,000 (THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF TRAVEL ON OREGON COUNTIES; 1985). It is also estimated that a travel expenditure of $42,500 generates one job. On this basis, in 1985, some 3300 jobs in Deschutes County were directly related to travel expenditures. Assuming an income multiplier of 1.6, some 1,980 jobs were indirectly created. Jobs created, both directly and indirectly, by tourist expenditures then totaled 5,280, or about 18 percent of the 1985 average total employment in the county. While the accuracy of the preceding estimates is certainly open to question, they are the best available and certainly make evident that the tourism /recreation industry has become a vital component of the local economy. The chart shown on Addendum 1 illustrates the growth of tourist - related employment over the 1975 -1986 period in Deschutes County. Tourist related businesses were selected on the basis of those whose growth was probably most closely related to growth in tourism /recreation. These include restaurants, motels and hotels, sporting goods stores, real estate developers, resorts, sports clubs, and recreation services. Obviously, not all 35 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090-0108 employment in these businesses is tourist related, and tourist - related employment can be found in many other business sectors of the local economy. However, it is interesting to note that in 1985, total employment in these heavily tourist related sectors (3,280) almost matched the 3,300 jobs directly attributed to travel expenditures in the county as previously noted. While possibly coincidental, this may also indicate a relationship between the growth of tourist related employment and travel related expenditures certainly a reasonable assumption. Using this 1985 relationship as a benchmark, then travel related expenditures in Deschutes County in 1986 would have grown by a spectacular $28.6 million based on a tourist related employment growth of 20.4 percent over the 1985 -86 period. Over the 1975 to 1986 period, employment growth in tourist related businesses averaged 12.5 percent, compared to only 6.5 percent for all other wage and salary employment covered by unemployment insurance. Also, tourist related employment has expanded from 12.5 percent of total covered employment in 1975 to 16.6 percent in 1986. Clearly, the importance of tourism in the local economy has grown steadily over the past decade. The graph also indicates that tourism has complemented the cyclical growth pattern of the past decade, which includes both boom and recession periods. For example, over the 1987 to 1982 period, which witnessed the bottoming out of the recession, tourist related employment fell by only 230 jobs or 7.4 percent. By contrast, all other employment fell by 2,880 or 15.5 percent. Thus, tourist related employment appears to act as somewhat of a buffer during periods of economic recession. On the other hand, during the economic recovery period of 1982 to 1985, tourist related employment gains tended to lag, adding only 420 jobs in contrast to a gain of 3,400 jobs in all the other dramatic gains experienced in manufacturing and construction. However, over the 1985 -86 period, as gains in all other employment began to level off, tourist related employment took off, jumping 20.4 percent in a single year, while the other category rose by only 3.8 percent. Thus, it would appear that tourism development meshes very nicely with industrial development over time, with cyclical patterns that can often be complementary. Does tourism provide a viable regional economic development strategy? Based on the previous discussion, the answer would appear to be a qualified yes. Low wages associated with most tourist related occupations is an object of concern. Wages in 1986 in trade in Deschutes County averaged only $10,842, while services averaged $13,377. The great majority of tourist related jobs fall in these two sectors. In contrast, wages averaged $19,430 in manufacturing and $18,957 in construction. One factor ' contributing to low wages in trade and services are the large proportions of part -time and seasonal jobs. For example, at the statewide level, only 12 percent of the jobs in manufacturing are part -time, while, at the opposite end of the scale, in 36 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY • • 0090-0109 entertainment and recreation services, 49 percent are part time. Roughly 31 percent of all trade and service jobs are part -time at the statewide level and the proportion is certainly higher in Deschutes County because of the relatively greater importance of tourism. A large portion of the jobs in Central Oregon are seasonal, however, the rate of employment usually does not decrease because of seasonal recreation activities. For example, the seasonal summer employees (such as those working for rafting companies, summer resorts, fishing guides, etc.)are replaced in the winter by employees who work for companies catering to the winter recreationists (e.g., Mt. Bachelor). In terms of total payroll, in 1986, manufacturing contributed in excess of $92 million and government in excess of $80 million, while the tourist related payroll was in the $35 to $40 million range in Deschutes County. Should the wage problem then constitute a barrier to the consideration of tourism as an economic development strategy? We think not. As we have seen, tourism and industrial development in the past have complemented each other very well in Deschutes County. Indeed, an upsurge in tourist related employment over the past two years seems to be creating something of a labor shortage. The question is, will people migrate here to take $4 to $5 per hour seasonal jobs? Not very likely. The expansion of primary wage jobs in such sectors as manufacturing must go hand in hand with the expansion of the largely secondary wage jobs afforded by tourism. Currently, more than 60 percent of women and children under the age of 18 are in the labor force. With the two - earner family rapidly becoming a national norm, the combined income resulting from one family member, for example, holding a $9 per hour job in manufacturing and the other holding a $4 per hour job tourist related job will provide a family income in excess of $27,000 annually. Logically, therefore, any future analysis of job creation efforts must consider the reality of the two - earner family. Acceptance of this argument largely negates the low wage barrier against tourism as an economic development strategy. Tourism related development also affords other benefits to overall economic development, functioning as a valuable adjunct to industrial recruitment efforts. A recent canvass found a significant number of business operators who relocated to Deschutes County after initial tourist related visits. Tourist related developments also provide amenities to the resident population not often found in small communities, which can greatly enhance the attractiveness of an area to those considering locating a business there. These include golf courses, skiing, swimming pools, an expanded variety of quality dining and entertainment facilities, and enhanced shopping opportunities. Over the past decade, much of the county's construction employment has been directly related to tourism through the building of vacation dwellings, motels and resort structures, and dining and entertainment facilities. In 1985, it 37 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090-11 is estimated that tourism provided some $2.5 million in local taxes, mainly motel and property, some of which has been devoted to the furthering of tourism and economic development. Substantial funds are presently being devoted to tourism promotion efforts throughout the Pacific states, which also may well have a secondary effect of promoting industrial recruitment. Tourist related development in Deschutes County has been largely spurred by private initiative. However, if future rates of growth are to match that of the past, there would appear to be an increasing need to expand the publicly supported infrastructure, such as transportation facilities, parks, and land use regulation that supports this development. Neglect of this infrastructure, while not directly creating a large number of tourist related jobs, would be deleterious to preserving the quality of living environment so important to both tourism and industrial development in Central Oregon. 38 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090-0111 Regional Strategies Program - LONG LIST PROJECT PROPOSAL 1.

Each is an important link in a carefully developed strategy to further economic development in Central Oregon. The Committee presents the strategy as a complete and interrelated plan. It is the unanimous consensus of the committee members that to place one project over another in terms of importance or priority would weaken the unity of the three counties involved, and subsequently, strongly prefers to present the strategy as a single unit. However, since the law requires that priorities be set, Committee of Seven has agreed to the following prioritization. Our success in working cooperatively with the region as a whole has been furthered through treating each contribution to the strategy as equally significant. Setting priorities gives each component a position of being more or less important and is detrimental to our spirit of cooperation. In view of that position, we strongly encourage Governor Neil Goldschmidt and the Oregon Economic Development Department to consider this perspective in their review of this strategy.

Expected Job Creation (number and type of jobs, estimate of number of family wage jobs, number that will be temporary jobs) : These three road projects will create 210 temporary jobs for construction of the projects, and 105 indirect jobs (suppliers, etc.). 3. Project Description: The project will provide the following state highway improvements: Highway 97, South Unit: 2.2 miles $1,800,000.00 (Between Bend and Redmond, southern portion) Highway 97, North Unit: 9.5 miles 13,300,000.00 (Between Bend and Redmond, northern portion) Warm Springs Grade: 1.5 miles 1,800,000.00 (From Pelton Dam to Rimrock Ranch) 4. Link between project and the regional strategy. How will this project assist in implementing the strategy? Approximately 97% of the vacationers coming to this area arrive by either automobile or recreational vehicle. Approximately 85% of business and convention travelers arrive by vehicle as well. Currently, daily traffic counts on Highway 97 between Bend and Redmond total 11,500. Nine hundred of those are heavy trucks. Summer recreational traffic increases this figure by twenty five percent. 41 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090-0114 This highway currently falls into level of service "E" as determined by the U.S. Department of Transportation. It is projected to fall into level of service "F" by 1997. Four - lane highways are recommended to accomodate both level of service "E" and "F ". The highway is currently a two -lane highway augmented by several four -lane stretches. Because the vast majority of visitors to the area arrive by vehicle, because this number is expected to increase steadily, and because the current service level has exceeded design standards for this highway, the region stresses the need for and importance of these highway improvements. 5. What is the impact on the strategy of a decision not to fund this project? Traffic volumes would continue to increase over roads of inadequate design and construction. Traffic congestion would become an increasing problem and a higher accident rate would result. 6. Project work program and timeline: Total dollars from the State Transportation Funds.

Expected Job Creation (number and type of jobs, estimate of number of family wage jobs, number that will be temporary jobs) : Forecasted estimates predict that 500,000 travelers annually will visit the Welcome Center. Conservatively estimating only 300,000 visitors to the center, and assuming approximately 10 percent of those will extend their visit for 1.5 days as a result of visitor information gained at the center, the net benefit computes as follows: 30,000 x $1156 per day per party x 1.5 days divided by $42,5007 = 121.76 jobs created. In addition to the indirect jobs, one full -time person will be hired to staff the tourism information center and coordinate volunteers. 3. Project Description: Central Oregon proposed to build a highly visible welcome center, located at an easily accessible and heavily trafficked location in the Bend area. 6Source: OSU Department of Resource Recreation Management Study for EDD Tourism Department. 7Study by Mike Mahan, State Employment Division, shows that for every $42,500 in tourism dollars invested in a community, one full -time job is created. 43 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090-0116 The center will house a visitor facility which will be among the finest in the United States. It will be attractive, technologically advanced, and designed around the wants and needs of the visitor, including round - the -clock access and consolidation of services in a single setting. The official State Welcome Center, with state -of- the -art equipment, displays, and media presentations, will promote visitor relations. The center is designed to enhance the visitor's Central Oregon stay and encourage visitation of other state attractions. As proposed, the center will serve as a magnet for Central Oregon's aggressive visitor marketing campaign. It will be a high - profile commitment to the development of the destination infrastructure necessary to support the region's well- accepted and continually expanding tourism offerings. The center will offer computer systems and media that the visitor can use to access up -to- the - minute regional information. Interfacing terminals will be placed throughout the region, assuring even greater audience reach. Goal: Central Oregon is a vast three - county region. While Bend and Sunriver often are viewed as the headquarters to visitors, the entire area benefits if visitors understand and take advantage of the greater regional offerings. The center will foster this concept. The long -term goal of the region's visitor marketing campaign is to convert to residents a select number of guests who relocate or start up businesses in this area. This center aims to house not only visitor services, but the Central Oregon Economic Development Council offices as well, thus encouraging the link between visitor attractions and business site attributes. Central Oregon's State Welcome Center will serve the tourism interests of the entire state by disseminating statewide visitor information. Impact: Currently the regions's chambers, nearly all in off - highway locations, serve approximately 35,000 visitors a year. It is estimated that the new center, with its high visibility and easy access, will serve approximately 100,000 guests per year. Additionally, satellite computer terminals will be located at other sites, serving an additional 50,000 visitors. 44 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090 -0117 The region's recent cooperative marketing efforts have proven that the entire region profits from increasing visitor counts, both directly through tourism, and indirectly through resulting business development. Statistics show that Americans are continually shortening the length of their vacations while also expecting more value from each visit. This center will allow a quick and comprehensive orientation to the region and the development of individual itineraries to suit personal preferences, thus encouraging extended stays, repeat visits, and positive recommendations to others. The center will take the work out of obtaining a general area overview. 4. Link between project and the regional strategy. How will this project assist in implementing the strategy? This project is the central feature of the strategy, designed to provide additional information necessary to travelers for extended stays, visiting various areas of the region, and providing information for business prospects. The Welcome Center will serve as the central information /service dispensing center for visitors. 5. What is the impact on the strategy of a decision not to fund this project? The Welcome Center will serve as the magnet of the Central Oregon Regional Strategy. Visitors would have substantially less opportunity to learn about areawide points of interest and business opportunities in Central Oregon. Those areas most hurt by this missed opportunity would be the smaller, outlying areas, whose attractions are less known and consequently less visited. 6.

Volume 3, Issue 1 N EWS LETTER 009 0120 1st Quarter, 1987 Member �.:. ' Governor Commends People of Central Oregon While campaigning for Governor of Oregon, Neil Goldschmidt focused on the concept of each region determining their priority of needs and come to the Governor's office with a short agenda of two or three critical requirements. Once the voters made Goldschmidt their choice for Governor, COEDC's Executive Director saw the opportuni- ty to be first on the block to submit a short agenda of critical needs for Central Oregon, and hosted a "brainstorming session" at which over 60 Central Oregon business and legislative leaders attended. From this meeting, a list of proposals were generated that became known as the Short Agenda for Central Oregon. The group focussed on several key areas seeking state -support for the following: • Highway 97 improvements • State resources directed to support tourism • Decentralize the control of business development funds • A Central Oregon Welcome Center Complex • Expand the COCC -OSU consortium to include other four -year colleges • Forest products industry °COEDC 1987 Soon after Goldschmidt's election, the Short Agenda was reviewed at the Oregon Economic Development Summit in Salem. The Governor further directed that only elected officials represent each of the states seven regions. This led to the formation of the Committee of Seven — one elected official from each of the three counties and four major cities in the tri- county region. After the summit meeting, the com- mittee received word that the Govemor was extremely impressed with how rapidly and effectively the region's lead- ers arrived "first -in- line" with their priori- ties. The committee then went to work and selected proposals submitted by individual communities. With a sharp- ened knife, they whittled about $1.4 million in proposals -down to $500,000,- - the amount of lottery dollars the group felt the legislature would allocate for Central Oregon. COEDC, with the assistance of Tom Craven, Vice President of the Board, presented a computerized, com- prehensive business and industrial infor- mation system. The system will allow COEDC to greatly enhance its efficien- cy; allow an increased ability to keep a broad -based community Board of Direc- tors properly updated on regional facts, activities and issues; and offset potential concerns in the prospect's mind regard- ing the "rural" or "inaccessible" setting of the region. The Committee of Seven finalized a - list of proposals that included: a Wel- come Center to be located on Bend's north side; a reservations and activities coordination center; a regional visitor information media package; a portable tent for regional arts performances; a Redmond Chamber of Commerce •satel- lite office near the airport; a visitor reader sign at Madras; a community theater for Prineville; a roadside tourist information sign at Metolius; a business information data system; a recreational - vehicle -- transfer -- station • at -- Culver; a visitor information center satellite at the High Desert Museum; and rodeo chutes for the LaPine Rodeo Association. After hearing the presentation, Gold - schmidt said, "I would have to give the committee's efforts something higher than an `A'. The people have gone out and done the technical work. Now its up to the legislature." 14604eres BEND MADRAS PRINEVILLE.

Pursuant to ORS 366.395, the State may sell, lease, exchange or otherwise dispose of real property which, in the opinion of the State, is no longer needed by it for public use. Such real property may be sold, leased, exchanged or otherwise disposed of in such a manner as will best serve the interests of the State and will most adequately conserve highway funds. 2. Under the provisions of ORS 366.290(1), the State may select, locate, establish, designate, improve and maintain out of the highway fund a system of state highways, and for that purpose may, by mutual agreement with several counties, select county roads or public roads. By an appropriate order entered into its records, the State may designate and adopt such roads as state highways. Thereafter, the construction, improvement, maintenance and repair of such roads shall be under the jurisdiction of the State. 3. Under the provisions of ORS 366.290(3), with the written consent of the county in which a particular highway or part thereof is located, the department may, when in its opinion the interests of the State will be best served, eliminate from the state highway system any road or highway or part thereof. Thereafter the road or highway or part thereof eliminated from the state highway system shall become a county road or highway, and the construction, repair, maintenance or improvement, and jurisdiction over such highway shall be exclusively under the county in which such highway or road is located. 4. Under the provisions of ORS 366.375 the Department of Transportation may enter into an agreement with any county, city, town, or road district for the construction, reconstruction, improvement, repair or maintenance of any road, highway or street, upon terms and conditions mutually agreed to by the contracting parties. 5. Under provisions of ORS 366.320(3), all rights -of -way owned or held by the several counties over and along any roads adopted as state highways are vested in the State, by and through its Department of Transportation. 1 - AGREEMENT 0090-0127 6. State finds that Powell Butte Highway, State Secondary Highway No. 371, from its intersection with State Primary Highway No. 7 to the Deschutes County Line, no longer serves as a func- tional part of the state highway system, and may be eliminated from said state highway system. 7.

Redmond Chamber Satellite Executive Director of Commerce 1. Total Project Cost: Amount of state assistance reauested: Amount of other funds committed to project: $234,750 $ 35,000 $199,750 2. Expected Job Creation (number and type of jobs, estimate of number of family wage jobs, number that will be temporary jobs) : This project is electronically tied to the Oelcome Center, and is an extension of that facility and also houses the Redmond Chamber of Commerce. Please refer to the Welcome Center Short List Project Proposal for specific job information. 3. Project Description: Located on Airport Way a short distance from Highway 97, this center will meet the needs and interests of visitors who fly to Central Oregon. Our new air service has doubled the number of people coming by air. Further increases are expected. A shuttle will be available from the airport to the center, allowing people who are waiting for flights to spend time getting to know Central Oregon. This center will be tied electronically to the tourism hub in Bend. Those tourists flying in and going directly to Sister, Culver, Madras, or Prineville will have the opportunity to see displays of the entire area otherwise not available to them. The satellite will include a computer terminal that interfaces with the Welcome Center system to provide complete visitor and business information access. Goal: The project is designed to expand and extend the impact of the Welcome Center, especially by involving air travelers who would not visit the hub center. It will also help highlight local attractions for those visiting the Redmond vicinity -as well as points north. Impact: The Redmond Municipal Airport facilities are limited in size, and travelers are often subject to waits. This satellite captures the waiting visitor and offers that person somewhere to go, both entertaining the guest and 48 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY • • • 0090 -0133 relieving pressure on the airport facility. Additionally, it taps the significantly increased number of air travelers, offering them region -wide tourism and business information. 4. Link between project and the regional strategy. How will this project assist in implementing the strategy? This project is an extension of the Welcome Center, the magnet component of the Central Oregon Regional Strategy. It is strategically designed to serve air travelers, as well as visitors to the Redmond area generally. It will be capable of providing much of the information that the Welcome Center has to offer, both in terms of tourism marketing and business marketing. 5. What is the impact on the strategy of a decision not to fund this project? The opportunity to provide information to air travelers would be significantly decreased. Air travel is emerging as a principal means of transportation for the region's tourists (See Addendum 4). This growth trend is expected to continue, making the services provided by the Redmond Chamber Satellite more valuable over time. The decision not to fund this project would additionally weaken the impact of the Welcome Center, the comprehensive visitor's service bureau for the region and would leave the Redmond Chamber of Commerce housed in an out -of -the way and inadequate facility. 6. Project work program and timeline: See budget and timeline. 7. Project Cash Flow. What are the expected cash flow needs for this project? Provide approximate dates and amounts; this information should be related to major activities by funding source as shown in the example. Use table below to provide information for this project.

I also wish to indicate the earnest support of the Redmond City Council for the proposed new Redmond Chamber of Commerce Oftce and Tourist Information Center complex, as one project that is worthy of inclusion is it. The Redmond Council has alra <idy approved d lease at ;1.00 per year for fifty years on a two and one -half acre tract of prima Industrial Park property near the junction of S. ,iwy. 97 and Airport :day here in Redmond for the facility. This will be a prestige location that is highly functional for the Redmond Chamber's service to the tourist traffic in the area. We believe this Center will be a significant stimulus to Cantral Oregon tourism, making the stay of many visitors longer, more excitiag, and more satisfying. We foresee tie Center being linked closely with the larger Tourist Welcome Center to be located in Bend, and collaboratiag with it in the production and exchange of pro - gram materials, information and ideas. Ia addition, we believe this stratigically located Information -rater will .c able to effectively "showcase" tha Redmond Airport Industrial Park to those visitors who may be in a position to consider moving a business or briaging its expansion to Central 0regoa. We feel this is an outstanding, cost effective step in our com- munity's efforts to strengthen and diversify its economic case. We certainly consider it worthy of our own investment and of Oregon's Eco:io,nic Development funds, as well. We hope both you and the Legislature will give it favorable consideration. Sincerely, Kobert C. Riggs ,mayor 0090-0137 LEASE AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT is made this /2_W day of March, 1987 by and between THE CITY OF REDMOND, a municipal corporation of the State of Oregon, hereinafter called "LESSOR ", and REDMOND- CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, hereinafter called "TENANT ".

B. Effect of Partial Condemnation: In the event a portion of the demised premises shall be so appropriated or taken and the remainder of the property shall not be suitable for use then being made of the property by TENANT, or if the remainder of the property is not one undivided parcel of property, TENANT shall have the right to terminate this lease as of the date of such taking on giving to LESSOR written notice of such termination within 120 days after LESSOR has notified TENANT in writing that this property has been appropriated or taken. If there is disagreement between the LESSOR and TENANT on the effect of partial condemnation, the issue of suitable use shall be determined by arbitration. In the event of such partial taking and TENANT does not so terminate this lease, then this lease shall continue in full force and effect as to part not taken, and the rental to be paid by TENANT during the remainder of the term shall be adjusted as proportionate to the area taken. 7 - LEASE AGREEMENT C.

Estoppel Certificates. Each party (LESSOR and TENANT) agrees that each will, within twenty (20) days after written notice requiring a statement of the status of the lease, give such statement in writing to show whether the lease is in good standing, and, if it is not, the particulars in which it is not, and failure within such period of twenty (20) days to give such written reply, shall constitute a representation that the lease is in good standing, which representation any person may rely upon as being true and correct. Notice and the subsequent reply shall be deemed given and time shall begin to run when, respectively such notice and the consequent reply are deposited in the United States Registered or Certified Mails, with sufficient prepaid postage to carry them to their addressed destinations and they shall be addressed to the LESSOR and the TENANT at the places and in the manner prescribed as being the places and the manner for giving notice. Such notice shall contain, verbatim, all of the language set forth in this section. B. Tenant's Primary Responsibility. If the TENANT'S interest in and to this lease agreement is assigned, the TENANT'S liability for the performance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants, and agreements contained herein to be performed by the TENANT, shall remain in full force and effect. C. Leasehold Mortgage Protection. It is recognized that TENANT may, from time to time, encumber this lease for financing purposes. This lease, therefore, is subject to the following provisions: 1. The TENANT is to furnish the LESSOR an executed counterpart of any such mortgage. 8 - LEASE AGREEMENT C090-0145 2. Any notice, demand, other document of any kind whatever served by LESSOR upon TENANT including, but not limited to notice of default under the lease, shall also be served on the lender, but LESSOR shall not be required to serve an assignee of the Lender unless and until a copy of the assignment is served upon the LESSOR. 3. Whenever ownership of the mortgage passes into the hands of more than one party, all such owners must furnish the LESSOR a written designation of the party to be served on behalf of all such owners. 4. The lender shall have the right to cure TENANT'S defaults and perform all his covenants. 5. As to any default of breach of covenant that can be cured by lender without taking possession of the premises, the lender shall have sixty (60) days to cure such default or breaches after LESSOR has given the lender notice of intention to terminate the lease or dispossess TENANT. 6. As to any default or breach that can only be cured,by taking possession, the LESSOR may require the lender to furnish a reasonable guarantee of its performance under the lease of all TENANT'S obligations, including the care of all defaults and breaches, and that lender will proceed with reasonable diligence to take possession of the premises and either foreclose the mortgage or acquire the leasehold by assignment in lieu of foreclosure. 7. Any acquisition of the leasehold by the lender may be taken in the name of a nominee. 8. The LESSOR will not terminate the lease as long as lender performs promptly all of its covenants in the guarantee. 9. In case of termination of the lease for default or breach of covenant by TENANT, the lender may serve notice on LESSOR of its desire to enter into a new lease for the balance of the term at the same rentals and with the same covenants contained in the lease, said notice to be served on the LESSOR thirty (30) days prior to termination by the LESSOR, which subject to subsection (10), notice shall be accompanied by a payment of all arrears of rent and a reasonable sum to compensate the LESSOR for expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, and establishing the new relationship and a guarantee satisfactory to LESSOR that lender will cure all TENANT'S defaults and breaches other than arrears rent. The new lease will 9 - LEASE AGREEMENT 0090 -0146 commence as of the termination of the old one, but shall be prior and superior to all rights, liens and encumbrances that would have been extinguished by foreclosure to lender if the lender so demands. A statement of this obligation shall be included in all subleases. 10. A lender may have a period of one (1) year to pay any rents necessary to bring this lease current from the original date of default. The LESSOR may charge interest at the rate of 10% per annum for any late rental. In addition to the above, LESSOR will join in executing any and all instruments which legal counsel for any lender on the security of TENANT'S leasehold estate may reasonably require in order to accomplish the same, provided that nothing herein shall be construed as obligating LESSOR to incur any personal liability for repayment of any such loan, nor as subordinating the LESSOR'S rights and reversionary interest in and to the demised properety to any such encumbrance. D. Non -47•a fiver . Waiver by either party or strict performance of any provision of this agreement shall not be a waiver of or prejudice the parties' right to require strict performance of the same provision of the future or of any other provision.

It appears to be a very feasible project and a much needed facility. With the information provided, it would appear that a $35,000 income property loan from a bank would be feasible. Although this letter is not a commitment to finance the project, U. S. Bank would appreciate the opportunity to review your formal application for such a loan when you are ready to proceed. The following is a breakdown of the approximate monthly principal and interest payment required at a 10% rate for both a ten and fifteen year term loan: Amount Rate Term Monthly Prin & Int Payment $35,000 10% 15 years $376.10 $35,000 10% 10 years $462.50 The Chamber and it's management have shown the past three years their ability to generate income and service their obligation with this bank on both the copy machine loan and the operating loan with both of these being repaid in a satisfactory manner. Brenda Kincaid, Executive Director Redmond Chamber of Commerce March 11, 1987 Page 2 0090 la I would be happy to meet with you and /or the Chamber Board Members to discuss the proposed financing when you are ready to proceed.

(503) 5488131 I have recently been made aware that the Chamber of Commerce office is contemplating a move to an Airport Way address in the not to distant future. I believe that such a move would be most beneficial to the Chamber function especially in regard to its role to assisting - and attracting new businesses to locate in Redmond. An office on Airport Way would be much more conducive to contact with "prospects" and would have the added benefit of being much more conveniently located to the tourism industry for the area as well. I believe that the Chamber has a most important role to play in the economic development of this area and it only makes sense that the office be located in a spot which is closer to airport for ease of contact with company representatives coming in to evaluate the area as a possible site for their business. With respect to the tourism industry it certainly appear to make sense that the Chamber office be located in closer proximity to the airport as well as to the main highway as opposed to its existing office location. I appreciate the opportunity to provide you with my point of view on these matters and please don't hesitate to call me with questions you may have. Sincerely Robert C.

Vice President Mount Bachelor, Inc. P.O. Box 1031 Bend. Oregon 97709 382 -2442 1. Total Project Cost: Amount of state assistance reauested: Amount of other funds committed to project: $ 92,000 $ 65.000 $ 27,000 2. Expected Job Creation (number and type of jobs, estimate of number of family wage jobs, number that will be temporary jobs) : Three full -time and two part -time jobs will be created, with a high likelihood that one existing part -time will become full -time in the next several months. Calls coming into the reservation center have doubled over last year, and continued growth is expected. A corresponding increase in jobs will occur as the need requires. 3. Project Description: Central Oregon proposes to develop and operate a comprehensive region -wide Reservations /Activities Information Center to be directed by a non - profit Reservation Association with a broad -based advisory board. (See attached.) The center will install, operate, and staff a bank of toll - free phone lines with complete computer capabilities for handling lodging and ticketing reservations, as well as serving as a clearinghouse for area -wide events. This toll - free number allows potential visitors to book their entire visit with one phone call, and receive an itinerary for the duration of their stay. 4. Link between project and the regional strategy. How will this project assist in implementing the strategy? The Central Oregon Regional Strategy is designed to provide information to visitors about the area encouraging them to stay longer, visit regional attractions, and consider locating a business here. This element of the strategy 52 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY M90 -0160 provides a long- distance link to that information by means of a toll -free telephone number. Advertising will be purchased in west coast magazines, giving the toll -free number for reservations and information. It is an important element of the strategy, allowing an exponentially larger audience to be contacted with information about the area. 5. What is the impact on the strategy of a decision not to fund this project? The major impact would be that only a fraction of the potential contacts would be made. The toll -free reservation and information number is a primary element of the regional marketing effort. Competition for tourist dollars is high, and Central Oregon would lose a valuable edge. 6. Project work program and timeline: See budget and timeline. 7. Project Cash Flow. What are the expected cash flow needs for this project? Provide approximate dates and amounts; this information should be related to major activities by funding source as shown in the example. Use table below to provide information for this project.

Since we are rapidly approaching a very busy season for the Reservation Center, I must ask that your porposal be returned to me on or before September 3rd. I invite you to contact me should you have any questions concerning this proposal. CENTRAL OREGON RESERVATION CENTER is a newly formed non - profit organization designed to serve as the response vehicle for the marketing and advertising efforts of CORA, the Central Oregon lodging community, Mt. Bachelor, as well as other entities within the Tri- County area. Formerly owned and operated by Mt. BAchelor as Central Reservations, the RESERVATION CENTER offers information, referrals, and reservations for lodging, recreation, and community events throughout Central Oregon to callers from across the country. In addition to offering our existing services, it is our goal to provide the caller with the opportunity to alos make airline reservations at the time of their original call. To take this concept one step further, the RESERVATION CENTER will be contracting with PSA /USAir, and the other incoming airlines in order to offer our callers the best airfares available. This convenient, high - quality service will allow us to "close the sale ", thus optimizing the thousands of marketing dollars spent to generate the calls. CENTRAL OREGON RESERVATION CENTER 0000.-0171 As the RESERVATION CENTER is not a licensed, certified Travel Agency, it is our desire to contract with a licensed agency for all airline reservations and ticketing generated through the calls coming into the Reservation Center. We are offering the opportunity to submit a proposal to all local Travel Agencies. The deadline for submitting these proposals is September 4th. A decision will be made by the Reservation Center advisory committee shortly following that date, with ticketing operations to begin immediately following confirmation of contract. Agreements 1. The RESERVATION CENTER will contract with a licensed Travel Agency to provide airline reservations and ticketing for incoming visitor calls. The Reservation Center Advisory Committee reserves the right to determine the provider of this service based upon proposals prepared by interested agencies. 2. The RESERVATION CENTER will offer this agreement in contract form for a period of one(1) year beginning September 1st, 1987. The Reservation Center Advisory Committee reserves the right to review, and terminate the contract based upon the operations of the contracted agency as they pertain to the ticketing and reservations function for the Reservation Center. 3. The Contracted agency agrees to operate in a professional, guest - oriented fashion in keeping with the terms and agreements as outlines in their contract with the Reservation Center. 4. The Contracted Agency agrees to provide all staff and equipment necessary to perform the ticketing function. This includes any costs incurred to provide this service to the Reservation Center. All contracts and agreements must be drawn by and signed by both parties in conjunction with the legal advise of the Reservation Center. ems'• • • CENTRAL OREGON RESERVATION CENTER 0090-0172 Proposal Contents Your proposal should, as a minimum standard, address the following issues: Operational Procedures - Flow of information and reservation between the contracted agency and the Reservation Center. All steps and procedures from the time the call comes into the Reservation Center with a need for airline assistance, until the actual ticket is received by the incoming guest. - Billing and accounting procedures for reservations. The payment flow for deposits, and air reservations in conjunction with lodging and recreation reservations made by the Reservation Center. Hours of Operation and Staffing - Proposed hours of operation that would be available to the Center for reservations and ticketing (Reservation Center hours .... 8am -6pm Mon -Fri, 10 -4 Sat) (These hours may be extended as call Toad demands) Reservation - Staffing for program (ie...one dedicated Agent, or the entire staff) Training - As the pace at which information flows between the Reservation Center, and the incoming call is important, it is important that the Reservations staff be provided with some information concerning current fares, restrictions, and availability, as well as a general working knowledge of the ticketing and reservation process. Support of Community Marketing Efforts - Much time, effort, and money has been spent in generating the calls and interest in Central Oregon. In the cooperative spirit of the Central Oregon campaign, we ask that you include as part of your proposal, your contribution to the Reservation Center for operational funding.

Bachelor, to handle or direct reservation and ticket requests, including vacation packages, lodging, recreation and cultural events, ski passes, etc. The proposed Welcome Center includes plans for electronic visitor information dissemination in the form of interactive computer monitors. The Reservation and Ticketing Center would complement this amenity, by actually handling reservation and ticketing functions on premise, whether initiated via .'. phone call or personal visit. The Center would be funded initially by Mt. Bachelor, Inc., and a proposed State grant to finance computer hardware equipment. Its ongoing operation would be funded through commission revenues from reservation and ticket sales, with deficits subsidized by Mt. Bachelor, Inc. Attitude Poll: <> Larry Clark. Bend Bucks: Clark indicated that they would be very interested in participating in such a resource center /central ticketing project. He explained that as of this season, they are no longer a Philadelphia Phillies sponsored farm team, and will become an operations support - generating ball club with only minimal income from the Phillies. It will be imperative for the team to generate more income through ticket sales and they are laying plans to promote the games as a spectator activity. <> Brad Westrick, Rec. Director regarding golf and tennis: Tennis and golf would not be an income - generating source for a centralized ticket outlet at this time. Only a couple of tournaments are held in the area each year and none charge for spectator entrance. <> Sue Mott. Cascade Festival of Music: Mott said she thought the idea would be excellent and cited a recent Regional Arts Council meeting where the sane idea was discussed, with enthusiastic response. <> Sybil Green. President of the Sunriver Music Festival: Like the Cascade Festival of Music, this is a once -a -year event that takes place inside of a week's time and is more like a special event. Green was most pleased to think that such a center might be available, although admitted that with their Limited seating capacity they may not provide a ticket resource center with much to sell. Member /American Association of Advertising Agencies 0090 -0176 <> Beverly Shutes. Community Threatre of the Cascades: Shutes indicated that they would definitely use a centralized ticket resource. Their earned income percentage is 86% of their budget which is very high compared to theater groups in Portland. It's a volunteer theater with she being the only employee. <> Jerry Yahna. C.O.C.C: The College is the biggest presenter of single performances in the area. Yahna showed great enthusiasm for the creation of such a ticketing resource and asked if he could be included on any exploration committees. The College recently hired two more staff people to help develop and promote income - generating performances and to increase the number of outside bookings from guest artists and the like. It seems that the College would really benefit from such a ticketing service and could build into their pricing schedule higher prices for increased visitor attendance. At this point their ticket sales are nominal; the College - generated performances are not financed in -full by ticket sales. If they had a ticket sales outlet that got them closer to the visitor and helped with general promotion of the College events, a major event like the Mt. Hood Festival of Jazz could be developed to serve as an anchor for the growth of the College's performance programs. Included in the attached summary are the figures for three guest appearances that the College sponsored last year. <> Brad Hunter. Hunter Expeditions: Hunter said they would be pleased to explore the idea of a centralized ticketing or information referral service. They make reservations out of six sites as it is. He thinks it is a good idea in general to have a central information service that people could call with an "easy to remember number" if the service felt friendly to the caller. His concern with participating in such a centralized ticketing resource would be quality control, i.e., he doesn't want to lose customers to poor customer service, treatment or misinformation. Assuming that the service would be high - quality, he would prefer that the center actually make the reservations - -sales may be lost if a person has to make an additional call. Computerized link -ups may be the method. Hunter was the only Central Oregon -based rafting trip company that would share financial information for the survey. A substantial number of these businesses are operated through the resorts, and those are not included in the survey. <> Gail Mitchell. Concierge. Sunriver Lodge: Mitchell basically waved a flag of caution, recommending that a potential Central Reservation Center avoid appearing to be a "Bend" entity that promotes a singular part of the region and duplicates the work of others. The Center would need to bridge perceived gaps between "Bend" and "Sunriver," for example, to be cohesive and effective. <> Anne Koppelman, Sunline Tours: Koppelman has no real competition in the coach tour business, other than the services run through the lodging properties. Her business has doubled each year for the past three and yet she feels limited by marketing opportunities. She indicated that she would certainly participate in a central ticket resource center should it prove to increase her business enough to justify the cost of a commission fee. 2 O -. OO9OE- O177 Income Potential Lodging Prooerties Income from lodging and accommodations reservation services will be based on a percentage of actual Central Reservations activities to date. Because of the region's success in increasing market consciousness of Central Oregon's destination product, and also due to the enhanced visibility that this Reservation Center will enjoy, it can safely be assumed that the new center will enjoy a rate of growth at least 160% over the Central Reservation system's 1985- 86 volume.

The proposal, prepared by Mt. Bachelor, Inc., outlines a plan to form a non- profit Reservation Association to set Center guidelines and oversee the operation of this Reservation Center, to be housed in the proposed Welcome Center Complex. The Reservation Center is intended to enhance the offerings of the Welcome Center by providing a valuable visitor service, while also contributing to the Center's operation income through rent payments. Further, it should serve to stimulate regional development by offering a central marketing service for lodging properties and visitor and cultural attractions of all sizes. Mt. Bachelor is willing to invest in this Center funds that currently support the Mt. Bachelor Central Reservation system, as well as significant additional monies required by this expanded operation. While we do not expect any direct return on this investment now or in the foreseeable future, we are confident that the positive economic impact this project will have on the region will ultimately exceed the costs involved. On behalf of Mt. Bachelor, I would like to convey my enthusiasm for the potential positive impact this Reservation Center will have on the tri- county region. If I may answer any questions or provide additional information, please contact me. Sincerely, MT. BACHELOR INC.

Expected Job Creation (number and type of jobs, estimate of number of family wage jobs, number that will be temporary jobs) : This project will complete the displays in the Welcome Center complex. Please refer to Welcome Center Short List Project Proposal. 3. Project Description: The Welcome Center complex will include a bank of computers used by visitors to access region -wide information on things to do, places to see, and event to attend, facilitating the visitor's decision on Central Oregon vacation agendas. This media package will market the region through displays, videos, slide shows, and brochures, both within the center and throughout the area via portable hardware and media. Backlit displays will present a range of day trips and convey route distances and highlights. A library of five - minute videotapes and slide shows will present areas of interest, including rockhounding, rockclimbing, windsurfing, waterskiing, whitewater rafting, backpacking, fishing, snowskiing, snowmobiling, and more! The visitor has fast, fingertip access to a wide array of regional experiences. Goal: This package expands the offerings of the Welcome Center by providing a self- initiated program to help the visitor make decisions regarding Central Oregon vacation agendas. It is intended to encourage more regional road travel. As an increasing number of visitors arrive by air, the Center will serve to generate business for region -wide attractions and events and activities. By directing visitors to a broader spectrum of businesses, the project will encourage a wider 56 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 009 4181 distribution of regional business start -up and relocation interests. Impact: Through this project, Central Oregon will reach a maximum number of visitors, encouraging them first to become aware of, and second, to take advantage of, the wealth of recreational, geological, cultural, and historical offerings of the tri- counties, thus spreading visitor dollars throughout the region. 4. Link between project and the regional strategy. How will this project assist in implementing the strategy? This project is an element of the Welcome Center project, designed to generate automobile traffic to the various attractions throughout the region. Please refer to the Welcome Center short list project proposal for additional information. 5. What is the impact on the strategy of a decision not to fund this project? Automobile traffic to the outlying areas of the region will be reduced, thereby reducing the economic benefit to smaller, outlying communities. Also, the effectiveness of the entire Welcome Center concept will be drastically diminished. 6. Project work program and timeline: See budget and timeline. 7. Project Cash Flow. What are the expected cash flow needs for this project? Provide approximate dates and amounts; this information should be related to major activities by funding source as shown in the example.

Total Project Cost: Amount of state assistance reauested: Amount of other funds committed to project: $352,000 $215.000 $137,000 2. Expected Job Creation (number and type of jobs, estimate of number of family wage jobs, number that will be temporary jobs) : There is a direct relationship between business starts within the past ten years and the tourism marketing efforts that have occurred within that period. This has been accomplished without a marketing effort targeted to interest visitors in doing business here. This project will present the ideal of doing business in Central Oregon to hundreds and hundreds of prospects otherwise not contacted. By more specifically targeting new business in this marketing program, an even higher percentage of new businesses than that of the past ten years will be realized. Assuming a modest 20% increase in new business starts over the next ten year period as a result of this marketing effort, 110 additional jobs will be created. It is expected that the actual result will be higher. These jobs will provide an array of opportunities, from complex research to entry -level assembly positions. 3. Project Description: 3.1: HOTEL LOBBY DISPLAY Production of quality, permanent displays for location in hotel /motel lobbies and the public areas of attraction locations (Mt. Bachelor, High Desert Museum, Sunriver Village Mall, Bend malls, and others). Displays would have striking graphics and rear - lighted photographs`- of the area, with the invitation to consider Central oregon for business development and relocation. Displays would be permanent, with perhaps movable units for special locations. 60 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY • • • 0090 ®0185 Displays would be somewhat "customized" for each location, including materials and sizes to fit lobby areas available. "Take one" racks might be included, plus the invitation to contact the COEDC office directly. Staff people at each location would be trained to respond to general questions, and to direct inquiries to COEDC. 3.2: IN -ROOM TENT DISPLAY Production and distribution of permanent "tent display" for placement in each hotel /motel room and rental condominium in the Central Oregon area. The message would again invite consideration of Central Oregon for business siting and development. A direct invitation would be issued to contact the COEDC office for information and assistance. Displays would be made of hard plexiglass, with changeable inserts. A six -panel design is suggested, providing room for the COEDC message, plus a general welcome to Central Oregon, plus room for a customized hotel message. The permanent displays would be placed on the TV top in each lodging room in the area, for easy notice by lodging guests. Printed panels would have four -color graphics and photographs, and could be changed seasonally. (See attached copy of directory.) 3.3: IN -ROOM GUEST DIRECTORY We will produce and print a quality in -room guest information and directory booklet, customized for each lodging property and providing guest information for that property, along with the business development message and general Central Oregon visitor information. The booklet will have a quality hard cover and will be provided to each property at no cost. An average of 28 pages is proposed, with local information to include regional attractions information, emergency services and phone numbers, welcome center invitation, and local business development invitation. The design of the booklet will allow the insertion of up to four pages of information customized for each hotel, plus it will include the invitation to consider Central Oregon for business siting and relocation. The directory can be changed seasonally, and the hotel information can be easily updated or changed. Pages would be a high quality .heavy stock printed in two colors. 61 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090-0186 Production of printed material, printing, purchase of hard -cover booklets, assembly and customizing for each property. (See attached copy.) 3.4: "TAKE ONE" INVITATION BROCHURE A quality, four -color folder will be produced, providing general information on the business climate and advantages of the Central Oregon area. A direct invitation to contact the COEDC office will be included. Color pictures will be included, with striking graphics to back up the public displays and in -room materials. A coordinated design and graphics approach will be important to provide a professional image for the area, and to assure continuity in our invitation message. Folders will be distributed through the hotel /motel lobby displays, and at front desks of lodging properties. A quality "take one" rack and display could be on counters of local retail shops and restaurants that are visited by tourists. Again, the invitation to consider our area for business development would encourage contact with COEDC. Brochures must be printed in sufficient quantities to allow for broad distribution to visitors. To help enhance the continued growth of visitors, a section might include a "come, vacation here again" message as well. 3.5: MARKETING SUPPORT This investment adds a stronger business development message to the region's advertising materials. For example, greater participation in the seasonal 8 -page color folder distributed to nearly 9 million magazine and newspaper readers out of state will provide another important opportunity to get the "do business here" message out to the marketplace. The advertising participation will help support the in -room and hotel /motel display materials. 4. Link between project and the regional strategy. How will this project assist in implementing the strategy? The central element of the Central Oregon Regional Strategy is to attract new business and trade to the area by means of marketing to area visitors. Studies related to this strategy have shown that of businesses established in the region within the last ten years, 71% were established by visitors who subsequently decided to move here. Those businesses have created over 500 jobs. 62 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 002-0187 This marketing effort is designed to stimulate a similar economic growth. By more aggressively marketing the region as a potential business location and providing organizational assistance to prospective business owners, a significantly greater growth in business starts is expected. 5. What is the impact on the strategy of a decision not to fund this project? The major thrust of this strategy is to foster new business by marketing the area as a potential business location to area visitors. This component of the strategy is the feature designed to provide the initial contact to visitors which will either provide the necessary information to an individual already contemplating locating a business here, or to provide the initial suggestion with enough information to encourage inquiry. It is the strategic "first step" for the prospective business owner, and therefore a key element of the overall marketing campaign. By not funding this component, a prospective businessman must do the initial research and find out on his /her own how to make initial contacts. Many prospects will not be contacted as a result. 6. Project work program and timeline: See budget and timeline. 7. Project Cash Flow. What are the expected cash flow needs for this project?

Expected Job Creation (number and type of jobs, estimate of number of family wage jobs, number that will be temporary jobs) : Over the last ten years, approximately 400 high tech jobs have been created in the region. The majority of those jobs are professional positions with relatively high rates of pay. Over the next two years, with the benefit of local economic development marketing efforts, a 7% increase in high tech jobs is forecasted, creating 28 new high tech jobs. Additionally, other business starts will occur as a result of these marketing efforts, creating additional family wage jobs. 3. Project Description: This comprehensive business and industrial information system includes the following major elements: a Welcome Center complex business information center, a portable recruitment information center, prospect - accessible data base, and a satellite information system at the Redmond Airport Center. This project will generate prospect interest, respond to prospect requests for information in a professional and innovative manner, improve interregional economic development coordination and communication, and further enhance our ability to tap tourism in our efforts to locate new businesses in the Central Oregon area. 4. Link between project and the regional strategy. How will this project assist in implementing the strategy? This project is a strong element in the strategy for recruiting new businesses to the area. The computers, located at various locations of interest to visitors 67 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090-0197 throughout the region, will provide prospects with initial information about economic and business conditions and opportunities here, including labor statistics, shipping and transportation, industrial properties, land use laws, prevailing wage rates, local finance options, etc. Since the regional strategy is designed to encourage the growth of the tourism industry, as well as encourage visitors to start businesses in the area, this project is a key link in the strategy. 5. What is the impact on the strategy of a decision not to fund this project? The benefit described in item 4 (above) would be significantly weakened. In the past ten years since Central Oregon began a major tourism marketing campaign, new business starts in the area have increased significantly (See addendum 4). One of the major concerns of new businesses considering the area was the lack of a centralized source for business information. This tool significantly increases COED's ability to respond to this need. 6. Project work program and timeline: See budget and timeline. 7. Project Cash Flow.

( COEDC) is pleased to present this proposal for an economic development information system to be utilized in conjunction with Central Oregon regional tourism initiative. COEDC is a private, non - profit corporation that was formed in 1981 in support of the goal of diversifying the regions economic base thus providing a stable . base of employment and economic well being. COEDC provides a coordinated economic development strategy and implements regional programs for Central Oregon working with other community organizations and individuals. The economic development information system.will assist in COEDC's marketing strategy and programs which emphasize reaching out to those people that have already made contact with the Central Oregon enviornment, typically through a recreational experience. These people no longer need to be convinced of the benefits of being in Central Oregon however, they do need to be provided with information that may cause them to consider the possibility of locating a business here. In support of this concept the proposed information system will provide business and industrial information to travelers and vacationers at the Welcome Center Complex and at other locations throughout the region. The system will provide a more effective and efficient method of providing information- to prospects inside and outside the area than other alternatives. COEDC has taken a leadership role in creating a regional approach to economic development and has often been used as an example for other areas of the State. This proposal represents another innovative example of how Central Oregon will continue to play a major role in the "Oregon Comeback ". Sincerely, Peter F. Dobert Executive Director 0090-0201 PROPOSAL Central Orea'on Economic Development Information System Proposed by: CENTRAL OREGON ECONOMIC :t` VELOPMENT COUNCIL, r";C. Board of Directors: Greg Cushman, President Tom Craven, Vice President Craig Moore, Treasurer Fred Boyle Steve Greer Bill Jaqua Dave Green John McConaghy Harry Teel Jean Wells Linda Sheik Werner Buehler Bill Hemingway Eric Alexander Clell Gibson Connie Worrell Warm Springs (TBA) 20 FEBRUARY 1987 Revised Peter Dobert, Executive Director C090 0202 Proiect Description: Central Oregon Economic Development Council, Inc. (COEDC) proposes to implement a comprehensive business and industrial information system that will include the following major elements: • Welcome Center Complex Business Information System • Portable Recruitment Information System • Prospect Accessible Data Base • Intra- Regional Information Support System Welcome Center Complex Business Information: The Welcome Center Complex is designed to include a state -of- the -art interactive computer system where visitors can access menus of information regarding regional offerings. COEDC will provide data base information to this system regarding the region's business climate, projected growth rate, service and industrial base, housing, industrial property availability and employment statistics. Portable Recruitment Information System: As a part of this proposal, COEDC will implement the necessary elements of a portable computer system which will be taken on recruitment trips outside the area allowing COEDC officers, board members and other "ambassadors" to readily access Central Oregon economic development information for prospects "while on the road ". Prosnect Accessible Data Base: COEDC will provide computer /telephone line access to the proposed data base by prospects in order that they inay obtain regional business relocation information from their office in a private anti canfidential manner. Access would be driven by advertisements, which would list the computer access number and other requirements to interface with the data base. The access number would also be promoted through personal contacts and would further be the basis for generating publicity for the region. Tntrn- Regional Information Support System: The Central Oregon region is large and diverse in nature. While the region is noted for its successful efforts in coordination and support of common goals, the challenge of maintaining consistent and effective communications is significant. A major element of the proposed information system would be to provide a common business and industrial data base that is accessible by each community and organization involved in economic development in Central Oregon. In addition, the system would be used for communications within the region concerning economic development activities and issues. For instance, each Chamber of Commerce office could connect with the system to enable the office to answer prospect questions and communicate with COEDC on regional inquiry activity. This networking can be accomplished with existing equipment and future expansion. Proiect Summary: The above level of technological upgrade will: 1) Allow COEDC to greatly enhance its efficiency; 2) Allow an increased ability to keep a broad -based community Board of Directors properly updated on regional facts, activities and issues; and 3) Offset potential concerns in the prospect's mind regarding the "rural" or "inaccessible" setting of the region. The very system involved in this proposal is proof of the region's interest and ability to attract business and of its ability through simple implementation of current technology to overcome perceived access obstacles. 2 Project Goal: 090 -0203 The goal of the combined project elements is to: 1) Generate prospect interest; 2) Respond to prospect requests for information in a professional and innovative manner; 3) Improve intra - regional economic development coordination and communications, and; 4) More effectively close sales and finalize business recruitment efforts. Impact: Tourism: The project's impact on tourism is that it significantly enhances the offerings of the Welcome Center Complex by merging visitor and recreational information with business and industrial information. As the region continues to raise the demographic profile of its guests, this mix of interest will play an increasingly important role. Increased exnosure of Central pre on: The innovative nature of this recruitment program is sufficient to generate significant publicity in business publications and relocation journals. Through this feature coverage, we will reach a wider audience than the various economic development budgets could otherwise afford. Intra- Regional Informational Support: The expected visitor counts of the Welcome Center Complex indicate that a high number of prospects could be reached and presented with business location and relocation facts without direct staff assistance. The data base will include complete tri -county information and will benefit the entire area. Further, the inti-a- regional informational support system element of this prop eea: ;,a t greatly enhance tre future integration of the region and communications throughout the tn- ce:inty area. Potentinl to Renernte other nctivities: The entire goal of this project is to generate new business and improve the diversity of the region's economic base. Extensions of this project could include two -way dialog with prospects who have the proper equipment (which is becoming more and more commonplace), allowing for the immediate transmission of "hard- copy" information in support of the prospect's needs. Other activities that could be generated by this proposal include; 1) A prototype for telecommuting business opportunities in the region ( telecommuting is a fast growing area where people work remotely from their office in an area where they enjoy living); 2) Provide information of the advantages of group and business meetings in the Central Oregon region which acts as a direct stimulus for additional tourism as well as business relocations, and 3) Further enhance the region's image as a potential "high- tech" site. Simulate economic develooment;. Competition in economic development is stiff. To effectively compete in this market, an area must develop innovative approaches to marketing and prospect processing efforts. This proposal describes such an approach. The information network and related data base will catch the attention of many prospects and enhance their ability to conveniently access the information they need to make a location or relocation decision. Many prospects like to gather information without initially tipping their hand as to their intentions. This system provides the opportunity to do this, thus further stimulating the flow of business inquiries. 3 Sustainin* Benefits: Year-round impact and continuous operation:, The capital investment for the required hardware, software and phone systems for this project is a one -time cost. The expense associated with the initial establishment of the data base is also a one -time cost. Once hardware, software and phone systems are in place and the initial data base established, existing COEDC resources are sufficient to handle the on -going program operation including the continuous updating of the data base. Once established, the program will be permanent in nature. Future exnansion lability to add users): As described, the project would involve joint efforts by COEDC, the Welcome Center Complex, the region's Chambers of Commerce, COIC and others. CORA advertising, for instance, could include invitations to call the access line for business relocation information. The informational data base would include directory information on other organizations including contact names, addresses and phone numbers for CORA, Chambers of Commerce, COIC, the Small Business Development Center, COCC, etc. CO90 -0204 Timelines Equipment Ordered Equipment Received Funds dispersal (100% of grant funds wii; be required) Network Operational Data Base Operational .4 Upon Final Approval 60 days from Final Approval Net 30 days from receipt of equipment 120 days from Final Approval 180 days from Final Approval rrniect 6UUtiet: Hardware 00000205' Data Base Processor (IBM Compatible PC with 40 mbyte Hard Disk, without Monitor and Keyboard) 2 each Community Access Computers (IBM Compatible PC -XT level with Printer -Bend & Redmond) 1 each Recruitment Unit Portable Computer (IBM Compatible Lap -Top) 1 each Portable Printer (for use with Recruitment Unit) 3 each 1200 Baud Modems (for interconnecting each Computer to a Phone Line) 1 each 1200 Baud Auto-Answer Modem (for interconnecting Data Base Processor to Phone Line) Software Communications Software (3 Packages ) Data Base Software Data Base Access Software ( 60 hrs X $35 / hr ) $ 3,500.00 5,100.00 3,500.00 550.00 1,500.00 1,350.00 Total Hardware $15,500.00 Total Software System Implementation System Design and Installation (25 hrs X $35 / hr ) Initial Data Base Establishment ( 250 hrs X $20 / hr ) System Test (18 hrs X $25 / hr ) Total Implementation Contingency Economic Development Information System - -Grand Total $ 1,350.00 850.00 2,100.00 $ 4,300.00 $ 875.00 5,000.00 450.00 $ 6,325.00 $ 1,875.00 $ 28,000.00 Matching Contributions: One -half of the total system cost will be matched by cash and/or in -kind contributions.

Expected Job Creation (number and type of jobs, estimate of number of family wage jobs, number that will be temporary jobs) : Presently 80,000 people visit the museum annually. The project,is designed to encourage these thousands of museum visitors to visit other attractions within the region, thereby lengthening their stay, which translates to additional tourist revenues coming in to the local economy. If 10% of these visitors extend their stay 1.5 days as a result of exposure to other area attractions, and introduction to the Welcome Center, an additional tourism income of $115 per party per day X 1.5 days X 8,000 divided by 42,500 = 32.478 jobs created. 3. Project Description: The High Desert Museum has embarked on an extensive expansion project that will triple the size of its indoor space and establish it as a major regional museum. An expanded Visitors Center is a part of this plan, and is the project for which this request is written. The museum has developed its plans for expanding its visitors area to complement the Welcome Center, the magnet component of the Central Oregon Regional Strategy. The new Visitors Center will be located just inside the main entrance to the _museum (see attached illustration) where it is accessible to everyone. The Center, as planned, will 8Source: 1985 OSU Dept. of Resource Recreation Mgmt. for EDD Tourism Division 71 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 00000207 have a complete collection of brochures from throughout Oregon, a special section with information focused on the tri- county area, rotating seasonal exhibits, a large relief map of the area, and a computer link -up with the main Welcome Center. This center will serve as an arm of the Welcome Center, enhancing that program and giving the visitor to Central Oregon flexible access to information. 4. Link between project and the regional strategy. How will this project assist in implementing the strategy? This project is an extension of the Welcome Center, which is the magnet component of the Central Oregon Regional Strategy. The project will assist in implementing the strategy by providing visitor information to museum visitors, encouraging them to stay in the area. The project will also provide information to visitors interested in doing business with the area. 5. What is the impact on the strategy of a decision not to fund this project? If this project were not funded the impact of the Welcome Center would be lessened. The thousands of people visiting the museum annually would miss the exposure to regional offerings. The Central Oregon Regional Strategy is dependent upon the effective coordination and integration of a multi- faceted program. 6. Project work program and timeline: See budget and timeline. 7.

Highway 97 • Bend, Oregon 97702 (503) 382 -4754 Confirming our conversation, the Museum herein requests financial support from the Short Agenda Economic Development Funds in the revised amount of $7,000 to fund only two specific parts of the Visitor Information Center project as outlined in our initial proposal of February 19. These parts are revised as follows: Rotating Displays and Maps Computer Link -up & Hardware $5,000 2,000 Total $7,000 Thank you, Lois, for your great support and assistance in helping the Museum better coordinate its local tourism promotion efforts through dovetailing our proposal with the Welcome Center and other Central Oregon tourism promotion efforts. We look forward to particpating in this new coordinated program. incerely, Donald M. Kerr Executive Director DMK:jm Jim THE HIGH DESERT MUSEUM PROPOSAL FOR FUNDS DISBURSED THROUGH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT (LOTTERY FUNDS) February 19, 1987 I. BACKGROUND ON THE HIGH DESERT MUSEUM One of Central Oregon's premier tourist destinations, The High Desert Museum is located on a 150 -acre tract of forest land "south of Bend. It is a natural and cultural history museum with a regional focus on the High Desert of the Arid Intermountain Northwest. Since opening its doors in 1982, over 350,000 people have visited the exhibits and experienced the educational programs. Its mission is to broaden the knowledge and understanding of the natural and cultural history resources in the arid, inland Northwest through a participation- oriented museum and assortment of educational activities and programs. The Museum is both an indoor and an outdoor facility with some 2,000 running feet of trails connecting 12,000 square feet of indoor exhibits, a stream and pond. It is a "living" museum that features exhibits ranging from live animal and bird dwellings to tools of ancient civilizations. River otters, birds -of -prey, and porcupines are presented by trained volunteer handlers. Other attractions include a Wildlife Observation Pavilion, Forestry Center, Settler's Cabin, Sheepherder's Wagon, Freight Wagon, Chuckwagon and the Orientation Center. • In addition to its Museum programs, The High Desert Museum houses a Visitors Information Center. Signed on Highway 97, this Center carries a complete selection of brochures representing the tri- county area as well as other major tourist destinations throughout the state. Last year, paid attendance at the Museum numbered 85,000, with visitors from 47 states and 16 foreign countries. Based on data from guest registers and interviews, about 30% of the visitors are from the immediate area and 70% from outside. Of these out -of -area visitors, half are from other parts of Oregon and half from out of state. These attendance records do not include the nonpaying "visitors information only" guests which are estimated to be another 10,000. This past year the Museum hired Jim Crowell as full -time Communications Director and implemented a marketing program aimed at increased visibility and attendance. Records to date indicate an overall increase in visitors of 14%. II. FUNDING REQUEST The High Desert Museum has embarked on an extensive expansion project that will triple the size of its indoor space and establish it as a major regional museum. An expanded Visitors Center is a part of this plan and is the project for which this request is written. The Museum is aware of the proposed Welcome Center for the tri- county area and has developed its plans for expanding its visitors area to complement the Welcome Center. The new Visitors Center will be located just inside the main entrance to the Museum (Illustration, Attachment 1) where it is - 2 - 0090 '30213 accessible to everyone. The Center, as planned, will have a complete collection of brochures from throughout Oregon, a special section with information focused on the tri- county area, rotating seasonal exhibits, a large relief map of the area, and a computer link -up with the main Welcome Center. This Center, based at The High Desert Museum, will serve as an arm of the Welcome Center enhancing that program and giving the visitor to Central Oregon flexible access to information. The budget for the Center is $51,000 (Attachment 2). The Museum's request is for $20,000, with the balance being matched by corporation contributions. III. PROJECT MANAGEMENT Management of the Museum's ongoing operations, as well as the expansion project, is the responsibility of the Board of Trustees, with the support of a professional staff. The Trustees represent a diverse group of regional, state and local business and community leaders with expertise in law, banking, financial services, education, corporate management and public service (Attachment 3). They are supported by project advisory committees composed of professionals in the fields of science, history, art and humanities. The professional and technical staff conduct the day - today operations. Together, they have expertise in the areas of museum management, planning, fundraising, business, marketing, sales, the sciences, history, curatorial techniques, office skills, volunteer coordination and maintenance. Donald Kerr, the Museum's founder and Executive Director, has the ultimate responsibility for project and ongoing operational management. 3 0090 -0214 The Visitors Center, specifically, is managed by Jim Crowell, Director of Communications. The daily operations are staffed by the receptionist for the Museum with the assistance of trained volunteers. The Center is open seven days per week from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. IV. NECESSITY FOR THE PROJECT Located at the south end of Bend, the Visitors Center at The High Desert Museum enhances the opportunity for tourists to have easy access to information about our region. The Center currently serves thousands of tourists each year. However, with a link -up to the Welcome Center and the expanded facilities at the Museum, the quality and extent of this service will greatly improve. Additionally, there are many people coming to the Museum with the singular purpose of a Museum visit. This center will provide those people with the opportunity to see what else in Central Oregon is of interest to them -- it will encourage them to stay longer, see more, and help our economy. 4 • 1 The _ High Desert tx� Museum February 19, 1987 Commissioner Lois B. Prante Deschutes County Commission County Courthouse Annex Bend, Oregon 97701 Dear Lois: 0091 2�.5 59800 S. Highway 97 Bend. Oregon 97702 • (503) 382 -4754 Thank you for taking the time to visit with Betty Jo, Caryn and me. We appreciated the opportunity to review our proposal with you. Attached is our proposal for $20,000 from the Short Agenda Economic Development Funds to be used for expansion of the Visitor Information Center to be located at the entry of the Museum's expanded facilities. These funds will be matched more than 2:1 and will provide the monies to build a substantially larger and more sophisticated facility than currently exists at the Museum. As we discussed, we feel strongly that the expanded Visitor Information Center at the Museum has the capability of providing a major service in conjunction with the proposed Welcome Center. We are excited about the opportunity to link up with the new Welcome Center to provide better and more accurate information to the visitors in the tri- county area. Sincerely, Donald M.

Expected Job Creation (number and type of jobs, estimate of number of family wage jobs, number that will be temporary jobs) : Construction and maintenance of the sign will create temporary jobs. No additional jobs will be created as a direct result of the sign, however, jobs will be created as a result of the overall strategy, of which this sign is a valuable element. (See Welcome Center job information.) 3. Project Description: This display will welcome arrivals to Central Oregon and announce areawide activities, ski conditions, art festivals, rodeos, music festivals, theater productions, and other events of interest to visitors and others. The Welcome Center will be announced, encouraging visitors to stop for complete Central Oregon information. (See illustration attached.) Goal: This project aims to welcome road travelers, exposing them to regionwide activities and inviting their participation. Impact: In addition to announcing events, ski conditions, and other items of interest to guests, the sign will direct visitors to the Welcome Center and therefore aid in enhancing their stays. 75 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090 -0219 • 4. Link between project and the regional strategy. How will this project assist in implementing the strategy? This project will promote events occurring within the region and will be read by the high volume of automobile travelers to the region from the Portland metropolitan area, Washington state, north Central Oregon and Canada. Some of these travelers will be people who traveled by air to Portland and subsequently rented a car. Many of those travelers come with only one activity planned for their visit, such as skiing. By advertising additional events on this sign, some of the travelers will attend the event, thereby lengthening their stay. Approximately $115 in additional revenues are brought into a community for each additional day per party. 5. What is the impact on the strategy of a decision not to fund this project? • • The benefit to be gained as described in item 4 (above) will not be realized. This project is the major project for the Madras area, and their Chamber of Commerce will maintain the sign with funds coming from the City of Madras and Jefferson County. They will promote events in their area, as well as events of the entire region. The strategy is designed to distribute benefit throughout the region. If this project is not funded, the Madras /Jefferson County /Prineville areas will not enjoy their full share of the benefit of the strategy. 6.

Expected Job Creation (number and type of jobs, estimate of number of family wage jobs, number that will be temporary jobs) : The economic impact of a performing arts facility was studied in -depth by the Colorado Arts Commission.. They found that tourists who visited an area to attend an arts activity, or those who discovered an arts activity upon arrival, extended their stay an average of 1.5 days. In Creek, Colorado (population of 7,000), this longer stay produced $36,000 per day of additional revenues to the community. Central Oregon had an estimated 500,000 visitors last year. If only two percent of those visitors spend one additional day attending the variety of cultural activities to be housed in this facility throughout the tri- county area, 17 jobs would be created. (500,000 x 2% x 115 divided by $42,5009 = 17 full time jobs.) If a reasonable 5% extended their stay, 67.4 jobs would result! In addition, one highly trained person will be hired full -time to oversee the setting up and dismantling the facility. 3. Project Description: This quickly - assembled, modular unit is fully engineered for structural integrity in either temporary or permanent installations. It will provide an enclosed space capable of accommodating up to 900 people for regional events, 9Source: Mike Mahan, Oregon Employment Division, study on tourism's impact on job creation shows that for every $42,500 in tourist revenues, one full -time job is created. 79 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090 -0224 including the popular dinner opera for the community college, a summer weekly band performance, choral presentations, the Cascade Festival of Music, the museum's annual dinner, the wine and cheese festival, and more. Goal: The acquisition of this portable enclosure allows the staging of major events in Central Oregon locations previously without adequate facilities. It is proposed with broad -based support from representatives of the arts and those businesses and organizations which need a special place to assure success of their events. Impact: Increased activities and their attendance for the tri- county area. 4. Link between project and the regional strategy. How will this project assist in implementing the strategy? This is one of the crucial links to attracting visitors to the outlying areas of the region. It will also provide a much need facility for local arts functions. Central Oregon is fortunate to claim among its residents a high number of very talented artists, as well as renowned celebrities who come to Central Oregon to perform. This facility will help provide the arena for these talents. Additionally, the project will provide festival facilities to all communities in the region. 5. What is the impact on the strategy of a decision not to fund this project? Small communities will be left without a facility to house numerous activities which would significantly enhance those communities. 6. Project work program and timeline: See budget and timeline. 7.

WALL STREET #1427 • BEND, OR 97701 February 19, 1986 Commissioner Lois B. Prante Chairperson, Short Agenda Committee Deschutes County Commission County Courthouse Annex Bend, DR 97701 Dear Commissioner Prante: The Regional Art Council of Central Oregon submits herewith our proposal to promote tourism in Central Oregon through the Arts. More specifically, we are requesting $40,000 of the region's economic development short agenda funds for the purchase of a large tent. As you know the Regional Arts Council was formed in 1956 and from that beginning has flowered a strong arts organization. We have as one of our goals the utilization of the arts to further economic development for our states "heart land ". Ours is truly a regional council and one that represents not only arts groups but the regional community as a whole. We believe our proposal is a good one for both the arts and for all those organizations and businesses who need a special place to assure success of their events. We are confident of our ability to make it work for the benefit of all who have voiced an interest in using it and those who will discover this new asset. We look forward to the committee's approval of our request and offer our assistance in any way toward that end. Yours Truly, 4/0444/ Barry H. Slaughter President Enclosures BS:bjs LET'S WORK TOGETHER TO PROMOTE THE ARTS! c. REGIONAL ARTS COUNCIL OF CENTRAL OREGON CENTRAL OREGONL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SHORT AGENDA PROPOSAL NARRATIVE February 20, 1987 PROJECT: The Regional Arts Council of Central Oregon proposes to purchase a tent (see appendix 1 for tent details) to be used by organizations and businesses throughout the region at a nominal fee for events of a community nature. GOAL: To provide a large enclosed space that is available throughout the year for events thus enhancing recreational and cultural opportunities in the Central Oregon region for its citizens and as an attraction for tourists. NEED: The need for a large tent was brought to the attention of the arts council by the Cascade Festival of Music, who annually must rent one at commercial rates for their weeklong festival each summer. In response to their stated need, the arts council conducted a limited survey to identify other organizations that might use such a tent. The following is a list of such organizations: Sunriver Mt. Bachelor Riverhouse Mt. Bachelor Vil. Mogul Mouse Pole /Pedal /Paddle Wagner Mall Inn of 7th Mt. Sisters Rodeo City of Sisters Central Oregon School of Ballet COCC Black Butte CORA Sisters Chamber Redmond Chamber The High Desert Museum Currently if an organization would like to conduct an event outdoors they must rely on "Mother Nature" to be kind to them or rent a tent from a commercial operation at a rate that often prohibits them from making a profit. There is also limited indoor space that will accomodate crowds ranging in size from 600 to 900. The result is there are fewer-events and less opportunity to attract new tourists with their accompanying economic benefits for the region. The tent would extend the length of the outdoor events season from two months to twelve. IMPACT: Proposal Narrative Page 2 0090 -, o A tent for Central Oregon addresses all of the criteria defined by the committee as stated in the guidelines: 1) It is an end product and it is permanent. 2) It will stimulate tourism and economic development by providing the opportunity for additional events throughout the region as well as enhancing many of the events already existing. 3) The year -round impact will be one of providing a place for events all year long. 4) The tent will be available for rent throughout the tri- county area and will be administered by the Regional Arts Council of Central Oregon, a tri- county organization. 5) It represents a cooperative effort on behalf of the arts in Central Oregon and other organizations that will utilize the tent. RESPONSIBILITY: The tent will be managed by the Regional Arts Council of Central Oregon (see appendix 2 for information on the council). It will be rented on the following basis: To non- profit organizations a fee of $200 per day will be charged with discounts for extended use. All for - profit organizations will be charged a fee of $300 per day with discounts for extended use. The user will also be responsible for: -all city /county permits - liability insurance - providing their own propane heater if heat is required - providing their own lighting - Hiring of the arts council's trained crew supervisor at a fee of $10.00 per hr. during setup and takedown. 0090-0231 Appendix 1 BASIC INFORMATION ON THE TENT The information that follows is on a tent provided by Fabric and Structure Technology Inc. (F.A.S.T.). It should be noted that other tent companies were researched by the Cascade Festival of Music and it was their conclusion that this was the best at the lowest price. The F.A.S_T. tent is a quickly- assembled modular unit fully engineered for structural integrity in either temporary of permanent installations. The frame system consists of sturdy extruded aluminum structural ribs contoured for strength and a pleasing aesthetic profile. With remarkable ease, durable weatherproof fabric panels feed into pre - extruded channels in the frame and tension into a taut membrane that prevents any noise or distraction from wind movement. The resultant enclosure has proven its excellent acoustic qualities in a wide variety of concert situations - from country music to jazz to a symphony orchestra with 90 voice choir. The sound projection is very good, as is the absence of distortion frequencies, standing waves and feedback problems. The tent will be a maximum of 60' x 135', but can be used for smaller areas: the tent "bays" (sections) are 60' x 20'. One end piece, which can be used for a shell for outdoor free concerts, etc., is 60' x 45'. If a fully - enclosed unit is desired, you would need two of these, and would add 20' sections inbetween until it was the size you desired. At its full size the tent will accomodate between 600 and 900 people depending on the size of the stage, etc. The fabric is polyvinyl chloride with a polyester base. It is wind and water resistant, and very washable. It would have to be stored in a dry place, and put into storage dry, folded with care. The frame is aluminum. There is, of course, no floor. All parts are individually replaceable, so that one torn fabric panel or one bent aluminum spoke could be replaced at a time. The frame has a life of 30 years or more. The fabric a life of between 5 and 10 years depending on how much it is used. The tent comes in many colors and color combinations. The tent requires a crew of 6 for setup and takedown. The tent company will train and assist the crew the first time the tent is used. It is the intention of the council to require the renter of the tent to use a trained supervisor on contract with the council to oversee all setup and take down.

OR. 97701 Dear Commissioner Prante. This is to supply you additional information concerning our proposal to promote tourism through the use of a large tent. The economic impact of a large performing arts facility was studied in depth by the Colorado Arts Commission. They looked at such impact in five cities in their state and found the following: 1. Tourists who visited an area to attend (or who found) arts activities stayed an average of 1.5 additional days. (Each of the towns was studied before and after an arts facility was opened.) 2. Using the standard economic multiplier of $1.00, produces $8.10 in economic betterment. They used the room tax figure to project the effect on each location. 3. As an example, it was found that after a performing arts theater was built in Creed. Colorado (Population approx. 7000) this extra length of stay produced $36.000 per day. In Newport, Oregon these figures were used to project the impact their soon to be built Performing Arts Center would have on that community. (Newport has a population of approximately 8,000) We anticipate that the addition of a large tent for Central Oregon Arts and many other activities will have a like or greater impact. We anticipate very high usage for this quality enclosure and are making detailed plans for its immediate use toward helping our area's economy throuth the Arts ! Please find attached information concerning its "first use" if the tent is available by June. 1987. Many thanks for your interest in our proposal.

The Festival would definitely be interested in using such a tent each June. And, having done considerable research in this area ourselves, we can attest to the need for such a facility. Indeed, many organizations and businesses expressed delight at such a possibility when we contacted them. The tent would be a regional asset, making possible many new events and making more successful several that presently use other facilities (or count on the weather).

Oregon 97741 475 -7127 Total Project Cost: Amount of state assistance reauested: Amount of other funds committed to project: $27,675 $15.000 $12,675 2. Expected Job Creation (number and type of jobs, estimate of number of family wage jobs, number that will be temporary jobs) : Camp Sherman is a town almost exclusively reliant upon tourism for its economic base. Black Butte Ranch, a nearby resort and residential development; summer resorts in the area; fishermen; campers; and hikers constitute the bulk of trade for local merchants. There are a number of vacation homes in the area, with some year -round residents. However, the area is not as well -known as other communities, which, as Camp Sherman, rely upon tourism for jobs. The famous head of the Metolius River is near Camp Sherman, but no sign from Highway 20 directs travelers to the site. Having a sign from Highway 20 that will draw more travelers to the community will have a significant impact upon Camp Sherman's economic base. Economic benefit will be realized by the existing resorts and merchants. To provide an increased income to the existing businesses would be a valuable contribution to the area's economy. This project is a significant piece in the overall mosaic in Central Oregon's regional strategy. (See Welcome Center project.) 3. Project Description: A sign will be constructed and installed on Highway 20 informing motorists of the recreational opportunities in the Metolius /Camp Sherman area (see illustration attached). The beautiful Metolius area is a gem unknown to too many. The roadside signs and maps will announce a variety of hard -to- find, hidden treasures to visit in Central Oregon. 84 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 4. Link between project and the regional strategy. How will this project assist in implementing the strategy? This project is designed to direct tourists to one of the most beautiful areas of the region, an area that is not well known to visitors from outside the area. It will provide economic benefit to a small, outlying community who depends now on tourism, yet lacks tourism organizations and resources to market the area. 5. What is the impact on the strategy of a decision not to fund this project? Camp Sherman and the surrounding areas will not benefit from the Regional Strategy, and one of the region's most beautiful areas will not be marketed to area visitors. 6. Project work program and timeline: See budget and timeline. 7. Project Cash Flow. What are the expected cash flow needs for this project?

Total Project Cost: $50,500.00 Amount of state assistance reauested: $ 6,000.00 Amount of other funds committed to Project: $44,500.00 2. Expected Job Creation (number and type of jobs, estimate of number of family wage jobs, number that will be temporary jobs): Economic benefit will be indirect, through enhanced commerce for local businesses and motels during rodeo events. The annual LaPine Rodeo, as well as Little Britches Rodeo, roping and cutting horse events, dogsled races, snowmobile playdays and car races will be held there. Events to be held at the site are expected to draw approximately 4,000 visitors to the town throughout the year, with the average visitor contributing approximately $40.4210 per day to the local economy. This contributes a total of approximately $161,680 to the local economy annually, which should or the equivalent of 3.8 jobs11. These numbers will grow as additional events are brought into the community, such as a professional rodeo as is eventually planned. 3. Project Description: The LaPine Rodeo dates back to 1915 when cowboys gathered from the vast rangelands of the Northwest to compete for prizes, buckles, and prestige. This project will help tradition continue in Central Oregon. This project will help balance tourism activities in the Central Oregon area. No like facility is available within a 50 -mile range. Southern Deschutes and Northern Klamath Counties provide rich resources for hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, canoeing, and boating. The new arena and racetrack will house a multitude of activities, expanding offerings in the area, 10According to a 1985 Study done by OSU for the Economic Development Department, Tourism Division 111986 Study by Mike Mahon, State Employment Division, shows that one tourism - related job is created for every 42,500 tourism dollars brought to the community. 88 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY • • 0090 '-0258 providing yet another dimension, and increasing visitors accordingly. The project is to construct a well, restroom facilities, arena, track, pens, roping boxes, announcer's stand, bleachers, parking lot, and purchase and install prefabricated steel stock chutes. 4. Link between project and the regional strategy. How will this project assist in implementing the strategy? This project will add to the roster of events occurring in Central Oregon that are of interest to tourists. It will add an attraction central to LaPine. Currently, most recreational activities in the southern region of Deschutes County are away from the town, i.e., lakes, streams and trails. The present rodeo site is deteriorating, dilapidated, and on private land. The annual rodeo is an amateur event that has limited events due to condition of the chutes and pens, which further limits the number of contestants and spectators they are able to attract. Although the annual 4th of July Rodeo would remain an amateur rodeo, LaPine hopes to eventually host a professionally sanctioned rodeo, drawing professional contestants and many spectators from throughout the region. Additionally, the construction of the facility will include a race track, allowing a wider variety of events than would be possible with an arena only. 5. What is the impact on the strategy of a decision not to fund this project? The existing facility will continue to deteriorate and fail to attract event sponsors, contestants and the resulting visitors. To attract the competition necessary to build their rodeo into a larger event, steel construction in the chutes and many of the pens is necessary to hold some of the larger stock, especially bulls. Currently bull riding is an event not held at the LaPine Rodeo because the chutes and pens are not adequate to hold them. No other local or regional rodeo fails to offer this event. Additionally, the current facility is located on privately owned land, which may not be available for continued use in years to come. -- The funding requested is to purchase preconstructed steel stock chutes. It is one of the few items requiring a large cash outlay. The land, most of the materials, the labor and 89 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090-025? equipment are mostly either donated or volunteered. The steel chutes are a vital component of the facility, and a professional rodeo could not be held without them, nor could the annual amateur rodeo grow. Since rodeos will be the event expected to draw the largest numbers of spectators, it is extremely important to the regional strategy's goal of attracting tourism to the southern area of the County. 6.

Oreaon Rick Allen. Mayor City of Madras 416 Sixth Street Madras. Oreaon 97741 475 -7127 1. Total Project Cost: Amount of state assistance reauested: Amount of other funds committed to project: $15,584.00 $ 8,000.00 $ 7,584.00 2. Expected Job Creation (number and type of jobs, estimate of number of family wage jobs, number that will be temporary jobs) : Approximately two jobs will be provided, both by increased tourism and by creation of a full -time position from an existing City of Culver half -time position (at City expense). Between 1500 and 2000 additional visitors per year are expected to be brought into the town of Culver as a result of placement of the station. Culver is located between Lake Billy Chinook and Highway 97, the main arterial in the area. Since visits will typically be a matter of hours with few overnight visitors expected as a result of the station, the average expenditure per visitor will be approximately $35, mostly through purchase of gas, meals and some miscellaneous shopping for supplies. Calculating an average of 1750 travelers spending $35 each, $61,250 will be brought into the local economy. Using the Mahon study noted earlier, this will create 1.44 jobs. 3. Project Description: In the Metolius, Culver, and Round Butte Dam areas, there are no facilities for the dispensing of waste from motor homes. A transfer station in the Culver area will provide for Central Oregon's thousands of visitors traveling in campers and R.V.'s. The parking area at the Culver City Park is now available and provides a convenient location for this service. This station will be accompanied by a sign showing other areas the visitor may wish to see. 4. Link between project and the regional strategy. How will this project assist in implementing the strategy? 93 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY OO90:- .0?68 One of the main thrusts of the strategy is to provide an economic gain for the smaller, outlying communities. A project such as this one accomplishes that goal. Tourism traffic will be directly specifically into Culver, providing local merchants with an increased business volume. 5. What is the impact on the strategy of a decision not to fund this project? Culver is a small agricultural community situated between Highway 97, which bears the large majority of all tourism - related ground travel in the area, and Lake Billy Chinook, a major recreational site. By constructing the sign, RV traffic would stop in Culver, thereby enabling the community to have some local economic benefit resulting from tourist trade. By not funding this project, Culver would not have that opportunity and would continue to reap almost none of the benefit of the region's tourism industry and the thousands of visitors to Lake Billy Chinook. 6.

Expected Job Creation (number and type of jobs, estimate of number of family wage jobs, number that will be temporary jobs) : The theater has 98 committed performances to date (see attached). These various productions will attract visitors to the area, and the job creation of this project will be tied to that (see RACOCO cultural events information). 3. Project Description: The project will renovate an existing vacated theater that is a local landmark in the community, constructed 50 years ago. The theater will be used as a community playhouse by Prineville's noted Ochoco Players, one of the region's most popular theater groups. The Central Oregon Song and Music Association, a very active organization consisting of area musicians and songwriters, will use the facility for musical events throughout the year. School plays, Shakespearean plays and the Prineville Follies will take place in the facility. Increased cultural events mean more access to the arts for the entire area. This community theater will house a multitude of events in a community presently without a facility. In addition to theater and musical performances, candidates' fairs, choral offerings, dance recitals and seminars are among the many activities that will take place in the Prineville Community Theater, which will broaden and balance the appeal to tourists as well as residents in our area. 97 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0000 0272 4. Link between project and the regional strategy. How will this project assist in implementing the strategy? This project will provide a component of the strategy which will directly benefit Prineville and Crook County. One of the major goals of the regional strategy is to distribute the economic benefit to be gained from tourism throughout the area, especially in the smaller outlying areas. This project will benefit Prineville directly, as well as offer local residents increased cultural opportunities. Local theater productions have proven to be very popular with area visitors, and this will attract many to Prineville who may not otherwise visit the city. 5. What is the impact on the strategy of a decision not to fund this project? The benefit to Prineville and Crook County described above would be lost. Since Prineville is not on Highway 97, the major arterial through the region serving the highest volume of visitor traffic, they often miss the economic benefit enjoyed by Bend, Redmond, Madras and LaPine as a result of this traffic. By offering regional cultural events, Prineville will attract additional visitors and the related economic benefit. 6. Project work program and timeline: See budget and timeline. 7.

My medical practice has rates of teenage pregnancy, drug abuse, physical abuse, unemployment and welfare dependence surpassing the large inner city area where I had finished my residency. Walking through the streets of Prineville, I was met by over a dozen empty shells which had housed businesses when last I lived here. One of these abandoned buildings was the Pine Theater, source of many enjoyable childhood memories. Now, on the fiftieth anniversary of its birth, it stood lonely, lifeless, an eyesore on Main Street; a symbol of the greater blight threatening our city's viability. Still, to me this once proud building seemed to call out, to beg for the chance to breathe with life again. For two years I waited and negotiated and finally, as signs of life began to reappear in other buildings of our community, I was able to obtain a purchase contract on the building with terms I felt-would enable us to make a performing arts center in Prineville a viable undertaking. During this same time, an independent non - profit group of other concerned community members, known as First Stage, Inc., banded together with the same goal in mind. Through surveys of local business leaders and residents, they determined the level of support such a center would generate. When my plans became public, we combined our efforts and arrived at what we feel is the most practical approach for such a center. Such a center would obviously need to be multi - purpose and First Stage, Inc., represents such diversity. Members are involved in dance, music, theater; two members sit on the Board of the Regional Arts Council of Central Oregon. The facility, therefore, is planned to accommodate our needs in these areas as well as retaining its original function as a movie theater. Lectures, community concerts and group meetings could also be held there. Such events now are held in local gymnasiums on bleachers or makeshift seating arrangements, hardly comfortable for two hours of enjoyable attendance. Prineville would be the major beneficiary of such an endeavor, but all of Central Oregon would benefit. Increased cultural events mean more access to the arts by the entire area. Events such as community theater or concerts could be brought from other cities to our theater and ours exchanged with theirs where facilities exist, such as in Bend. Most importantly, a blemish in our downtown area could become a source of pride for our community and add another spark to the return of economic stability to our city. Respectfully, Bruce Williams, M.D. In Support Of The Pine Theatre Proposal Dear Readers: This letter is in support of the proposed grant concerning the renovation of the Pine Theatre. 0090 -0277 The 'Possible availability of a real theatre building would be a dream come true for our theatre group, The Ochoco Players. For fifteen years our group has brought theatre to Prineville. The most pressing and urgent problem each time is trying to find a place willing to let us in. The theatre, if available, would be used we hope, by us at least four times a year with approximately two months of rehearsal time for each play. We also would like to do more experimental productions. The theatre would allow us the area to expand our scope. We are aware of the need to financially support the building. We would be willing to pay rent or a precentage of the door. We also hope to donate toward the lights and stage. This proposal is a long overdue one. The benefit for the entire area cannot be overstated. A permanent place of cultural activity is truly necessary. Please support us in this.

A structure such as what is being proposed DOES NOT currently exist in this community. This facility would not only benefit various community needs, it would also serve to fill a real need we have within the school system, that of a performance arena for our applied arts programs. Financially, Crook County is a community that cooperates closely between various agencies as we all strive to work together to avoid duplication of tax dollars whenever and wher ever possible. Our school district budget is up 14.8% in its current form. This percentage increase is only to maintain programs as we currently have them. As you can see, the school district is in no position to undertake a facility like this on our own, regardless of our current needs. However, a facility such as the proposed PINE THEATRE project would be most beneficial to the youth of our county. On behalf of the Crook County School District, and for the opportunities the youth of our County would have to use such a facility, I wholeheartedly'encourage your indorsement of the PINE THEATRE PROJECT.

I told Dr. Williams that I was excited about the proposal. I belong to a newly- formed organization called tie Central Oregon Singers Songwriters and Musicians Association (COSSI'1:). COSSMk is primarily a group of musicians and music- lovers who want to share and appreciate their music beyond the limited scope of performing and listening to music in bars and lounges. COSSI•. is currently airing a weekly hour -long radio show on KPRB and he.s held two showcases at a small facility in Redmond. Since C0S SN.A membership is ap :)roaching 150, the proposed renovation of the Pine Theater appeals to many merc- bers of the organization. Not only would the availability enhance CCSCIL_ performances, but the facility would help bring a greater aprreciaticn of live -music performances to Cen_tr:a Oregon. I informed Dr. Williams the t COSSIL'. would assist in collect - ini a fee for the organize tion's use of the building. We hope that the project proceeds. Plcase keen COSSI:A in rind, and if I can be of assistance, don't hesitate to .con- tact pies Yours truly, Fred Stratton 1784 Bailey Way Prineville, Or 97754 447 -3320 0000 -028 February 26, 1987 Kay Carlson President Prineville Branch AAUW P.Q.

Prineville desperately needs a theater. We have an active theater group and no suitable location for the several plays they perform each year. We also need a public meeting place. Prineville Branch of AAUW sponsors a candidates" fair. We also hold several other open meetings throughout the year. Our organization would be one of many that would support the Pine Theater. We would expect to support the theater through rent for usage, too. We urge your approval of funds for this purpose.

The acquisition and restoration of the Pine Theater as a performing arts center is a dream which is desperately needed in the City of Prineville. The proposed facility would not only enhance the cultural needs of the area, but provide a facility which could be utilized as an attraction for bringing tourists or outside people into Prineville. The performing center could also be utilized for various fund raising events which organizations such as Rotary Club could rent from time to time.

Zel Rotary Foundation chairman Meets Tuesday Noon - Cinnabar Restaurant • KIWANIS CLUB OF PRINEVILLE P.O. Box 282 Prineville, OR 97754 enri We strongly recomend renovation of The Pine Theatre located in downtown Prineville. A period of over five years is too long for a building to be wasted when its location is easily available to everyone.

Many times we need extra class- room space not only for instruction but for other special college events such as art exhibits and community concerts. A performing arts center would increase the events that the college could provide in additional areas of dramatic and theatrical arts, dance performances, chamber music, band and orchestra performances and guest lectures. A performing arts center would only enhance the cultural growth and quality of Prineville and provide a wonderful bridge between communities. Sincerely, Claudia Callan Central Oregon Community College Community Education Director Prineville Center HIGH DESERT DANCE ARTS PLR BOX 944 • PRINEVILLE, OR 97754 • (503) 447 -3460 0990 -029. February 27, 1987 REi Proposal for the renovation of the Pine Theater I have recently been informed of the purchase and renovation of the Pine Theater here in Prineville. The possibilities this presents to our community are very exciting to me. I own a dance studio and have about 150 students. There is virtually no place for us to perform in our town at this time, and we have had to make due for the past several years. If the Theater was renovated we could produce some full. length ballets and possibly even have our recitals there. In the past we have had master classes from Dan Bogess, a prominent New York jazz dancer. Though he was very gracious, it was an embarrassment to have him work in our meager facilities. I'm sure he could be induced to come again if we could offer better. Also with the facility and permanent stage, I would rent it and use it on a daily basis. I have great rapport with the dance instructors of the Central Oregon area and this would be a possible place to combine our energies in the dance world.

ESTIMATING JOB CREATION 0090 -0,93 Using the format provided below, provide the total estimate of direct and indirect jobs that will result in total over the next 4 -5 years from projects described on the strategy Long List. In other words, the information provided should be the total job impact of the strategy including projects which require state participation and those which do not. For both the estimate of direct and indirect jobs, consult with the Employment Division labor economist assigned to your area. These persons are listed in Appendix C under the Department of Human Resources. The estimates will be used only as a projection of the strategy's impacts. You will not be held accountable for demonstrating that this exact number of jobs was actually created, however, each region will be asked to monitor and report on the progress or result of each assisted project under the strategy. Direct Jobs Estimate jobs which will be the direct result of projects implemented under the strategy. Do not include "indirect" or "multiplier" effects in this estimate. Permanent Jobs: The standard criteria for investment per job created is $12,500. Using this figure, the Central Oregon strategy should create 57 to 73 jobs as a result of this effort. Our minimum employment projections are as follows. Type Number (1 vear) Welcome Center and Tourism Enhancement Components 48612 High Tech 2 813 TOTAL Number (4 -5 years) average 7% per year increase = 656 average 7% per year increase = 428 x 7% = 150 new jobs. 514 806, 12$500,000 x 7% increase x $118 per day x 5 days divided by $42,500 = 486 13400 current high tech jobs x 7% increase = 28 new jobs. 101 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 0090 -0294 Temporary Jobs: Tv1De Number (1 year) Number (5 years) Welcome Center 38 0 Construction Redmond Satellite 12 0 Construction High Desert Museum Project Construction TOTAL Indirect Jobs: 10 0 60 0 The state Employment Division has agreed to help with estimating the total job creation in the region;s economy including "indirect" or "multiplier" effects.

AGGREGATE PERFORMANCE MEASURES FOR THE REGIONAL STRATEGY 1. Tracking Job Creation Describe how the region will determine the actual number of jobs created as a result of the strategy. Each region will be required to report annually on job creation. Indicate who will do the work of tracking the job creation. Work with your local labor market economist in determining these measures. Measurement 10% increase in tourism - related employment (baseline 1986: 3,950 jobs) 15% increase in areawide visitors (baseline 1986: 500,000 visitors) 7% increase in all other covered employees (baseline 1986: 19,870) 2. Tracking Other Measures of Economic Progress and Strategy performance Who Will Track When Employment Division annually with Deschutes Co. Welcome Center with area Chambers of Commerce annually Employment Division annually with Deschutes Co. In addition to tracking regional strategies for job creation, the state is seeking other measures to use to evaluate each strategy. Because each strategy is unique, each region is requested to provide a suggested list of specific ways that economic progress and project results can be measured. Some or all of these may become part of the reporting requirements for this regional strategy. When considering items for this list, use the perspective of reporting to the 1989 legislature. How would the report for this region describe the performance of the strategy and the results of particular projects? In particular, how can the strategy's impact on tax revenues and income levels be assessed? Using the format that follows, provide at least 5 -7 suaaestions off measures that can be tracked locally or by the state. Local monitoring is especially under the strategy -- results such as direct job creation and facility usage. The state is logically the source of information on other measures of success, such as increased income and -tax revenues. In addition to the example provided below, some ideas for kinds of measures that might be applicable to specific strategies are provided on page of this handbook. (Chapter III.) 103 - CENTRAL OREGON REGIONAL STRATEGY 15% INCREASE IN ROOM TAX COLLECTED BY DESCHUTES COUNTY AND THE CITY OF BEND FOR FISCAL YEARS 1987/88 AND 1988/89.

County Commissioner Tom Throop said Goldschmidt has indi- cated he likely will request the money in his budget proposal. If approved by the Legislature, the money will be used over a two- year period to push tourism goals developed by business and govern- ment leaders in Central Oregon. A group headed by County Commissioner Lois Prante recently released a report listing Central Oregon's goals for economic devel- opment. Local governments now must review the findings of the report. Three Central Oregon coun- ties and four major cities will be asked to appoint officials to anoth- er committee dedicated to lobbying the Legislature to get Gold - schmidt's budget passed. This new committee also would decide what local programs will receive funding. The Bend City Commission will discuss the issue at a 7:30 meeting tonight in City Hall, 710 NW Wall St. At Goldschmidt's request, USA i r about 60 tri- county business and government leaders met in Novem- ber to prepare the list. Many suggestions came out of the meet- ing, and Prante's group was ap- pointed to boil down the ideas. The final report is short. The committee left off issues such as the liability insurance crisis, school finance and workers' compensation laws. Instead, it stressed develop- ing tourism to sell Central Oregon. The economic goal for the re- gion is to develop a diversified economic base, the report says. Tourism will bring people to the area, possibly convincing business leaders from outside the region to locate here, it argues. To help Central Oregon, the report recommends, the state should: —Study the feasibility of wid- ening Highway 97 from Madras to Sunriver and improving Highway 26 near Warm Springs. —Spend money to market Cen- tral Oregon as a tourist attraction, provide funding for follow-up re- cruitment of businesses that show an interest, support cultural projects that attract tourist and build a tourist information center here. —Spend roughly $90,000 per year to expand Central Oregon Community College. r tiLUr,1NUUM 'L `rE 4'h11 i•I� i.. , • • - - '.,.11sIletin Staff Writer" --.;-'the state to assist in local business %,%-Local.goyernment leaders from-- ' development and tourism market- throughont Central Oregon have mg efforts.- . oittliiied'Alitiie -specific regional ' $90,000 'anniiiii`OUtlay-tO:. iieediPtliiit;;51Go.ti:relect Neil -Gold- help the Central Oregon Communi- T*hillidtinaylielible to help resolve ty College expand its ties to four- 'when hetaket '4:office nextyear. year universities and designation of Zhe three iiidude: ; Central Oregon as 'a special devel- 4-!--2-;-The :improvement of U.S. opment area for higher education.

The county commissioners next week are expected to place on the Nov. 3 ballot a measure that would increase the county transient room tax from 6 percent to 7 percent of the room price. The increased revenue, expect- ed to total $200,000 annually, would go toward building and oper- ating a Welcome Center near Bend and marketing the attractions of Central Oregon. The proposed tax increase is part of Central Oregon's tourism- based economic development strat- egy. Gov. Neil Goldschimdt has challenged regions to develop pro- grams focusing on one economic development target that will be funded in part from proceeds from the Oregon lottery. Central Oregon chose tourism. . - Under state law, voters must approve an increase of the county's room tax. However, the city of Bend can increase its room tax without a vote. City Manager Larry Patterson said the city commission would decide whether to raise the city tax after the countywide vote. Sisters' room tax is at 7 per- cent already. Redmond officials haven't discussed a room tax in- crease so far. Transient room taxes have been unpopular with some motel owners, who claim passing the full amount of the tax on to renters would price the rooms out of their motels' market niche. Still, the county's proposed increase is expected to generate little opposition from motel owners because of the benefits of increased -..- • • . F..".'41."'''';''.;14t?:',1'.?:* tourism, according to local officials. Half of the estimated $200,000 generated annually would be used to build the Welcome Center — a comprehensive tourism information center proposed just north of the now-defunct TJ's Restaurant on U.S. Highway 97. _ • - Twenty percent of the extra funds — about $40,000 annually — would be used to operate the center. Thirty percent, or $60,000, would go toward marketing the region. The status of the tourism- based regional strategy has been in flux recently as local officials work to squeeze the proposal into the framework developed by the Legis- lature. In addition, proposed changes in a state-administered business loan program have raised some questions as to whether Cen- tral Oregon will ask for more money from the state for the regional strategy. - Under the current Central Ore- gon proposal, the region would receive $500,000 in lottery money to help pay for the Welcome Center and 12 other tourism-related projects. State funds will be cou- pled with the equivalent of $1.9 million from local sources. • ' Local officials will present the regional strategy to the legislative Joint Trade and Economic Devel- opment Committee Friday in Sun- river. Voters won't travel to polling places for the Nov. 3 election. Instead, they will receive ballots in the mail. This will be the first mail- in election in Deschutes County since 1984. If voters approve the room tax increase, groundbreaking for the Welcome Center probably will oc- cur in June or July. '"?",,-.-te","4'."-P"..e,;,, • „„. *** - 1.• • , .„ ou ntt�t s w a By Mike Freeman e /76 Bulletin Staff Writer, 'Deschutes County and the state Highway Division have ham- mered out a road-for-land swap that should pave the way for a new tourist center near Bend. . w In. a draft agreement 'under • consideration, the county will take over maintenance and jurisdiction of roughly 10 miles of the Powell Butte Highway in Deschutes Coun- 'r In exchange, the state will give the county, land just north of the now- defunct TJ's Restaurant for the tourist center. The state also will plow and maintain a new half -mile driveway off Century Drive leading to the Mt.`. Bachelor ski resort's parking lot. The new driveway, southwest • of the current entrance, is part of the improvements taking place at the resort this summer and should ease traffic jams. The state also has agreed to widen a four -mile section of Powell Butte Highway to the county's 28- foot -wide standard. "I think it's an excellent ex- - change ... if the state is wiling to bring the four miles up to 28 feet," said Lois Prante, county commis- sion chairwoman. ' The tourist center near Bend is the key component of Central Ore - gon's regional economic 'develop- ment strategy; in which $500,000 . • in lottery money would be used to promote tourism. • , The status of the regional.'` strategy proposal has been uncer- tain recently because of state plans to change a business development loan program. Prante said Friday that the region may ask for more than $500,000 from the state to make up for loss of the loan program. 009 -0313 The road -land swap should end headaches for the county and the state. For the state, sending plows and sanders to Powell Butte High- way was expensive and inconven- ient. Further, because of the need for work on more important state highways, Powell Butte ranked low on the state's improvement list. "It should be a county road," said Dale Allen, regional engineer for the Highway Division. For the county, having a spot 'for.,-.the • tourist center _ -near - the interchange of U.S. highways 20 and 97 is vital to reach the largest number of travelers, according to local officials.

' t • I a. 0090 -0319 u ity Tourism push under review By Mike freeman W/% Bulletin Staff Writer Pushing only tourism as Cen- tral Oregon's economic develop- ment strategy may not be weighty enough to be worthwhile, especially if a business loan program is pulled from local control. So says Madras Mayor Rick Allen, a member of the euphemisti- cally named group of government leaders, the "Committee of Seven," who put together the tourism pack- age as this region's economic devel- opment strategy. The committee met Wednesday night to review the state's pro - posed changes in the Community Development Block Grant Program - a federal program administered by the state in smaller communi- ties — and how it relates to the tourism -based regional strategy. Allen said the group made no concrete decisions last night. How- ever, it did come to the conclusion that if the block grant program is changed, then "maybe the tourism theme is too narrow," Allen said. The state is "trying to pull all the economic development money into Salem," said Allen, adding that this "Big Brother" approach would make it more difficult to loan money to fledgling local companies. w Deschutes County Commis- sioner Lois Prante, chairwoman of the committee, said tourism still will be the focus of the strategy, but some aspects of it may be changed to recapture mpney hand- ed out by the business' loan pro- gram. This complicated problem started for local officials when Gov. Neil Goldschmidt pledged to use. lottery money to pay for regional economic development. Central Or- egon chose tourism and sought $500,000 in lottery funds to pay for 13 projects, including a "Welcome Center" near Bend. Getting Jefferson, Crook and Deschutes counties to agree on a tourism-based regional strategy centered on the concept that as more tourists came, more would want to stay and locate businesses here. Using tourism as a marketing tool was particularly important to cities like Redmond, Madras and Prineville, which for the most part aren't tourism meccas. The block grant loan program provides financing to encourage business to locate here. But now the state proposed to channel half the money to regional strategies and half toward streets, sewers and other projects. ' OQ 9O°0320 - .17 Transient room tax may be increased $y Mika Freiman ./gn WIIatin Staff Wrnar Check into a motel and the proprietor makes two things clear immediately. The room price is indeed 345, as advertised on the marquee out front. The extra $2.70 is greedy government's transient room tax. Although bemoaned by some, the hotellmotel tax does capture outof -town dollars not only to promote tourism but also to pay for police and other government services used by tourists. In September, Deschutes Coun- ty will ask voters to increase the room tax to 7 percent from 6 percent. Passage of the measure is crucial to the region's economic development strategy. Local officials have pegged tourism as the tool to economic prosperity. The inner workings of the strategy are complicated, but the fuel to push it forward came from the Legislature this past ses- sion. At Gov. Neil Goldschmidt's request, the Legislature set aside 525 million in lottery money to promote regional economic develop- ment. The tri- county Portland area wants 57.5 million for a convention center. Lane County wants a re- search park tied to the University of Oregon. Coos County wants to improve its port facilities. And Central Oregon seeks 5500,000 for a "Welcome Center" in Bend and other tourism promo- tion projects throughout the re- gion. The entire package hinges on Deschutes County voters' willing- ness to increase the transient room tax. Room tax hikes are not pro- posed in Crook or Jefferson coun- ties. If the measure passes, cities are expected to raise their room tax without a public vote. In Deschutes County alone, the tax generated roughly 5903.181 during the fiscal year ending June 30, a 22.2 percent increase over last year. Eighty percent of that goes to the county general fund, which is property -tax supported, The re- 'mamder goes to Central Oregon Recreation Association's efforts to market tourism. Meaghan Dobert, CORA's di- rector, expects to get 1180,000 this year from the county room tax, although she'll probably get more because of the record - setting sea-' son last winter. CORA also receives about 540; 000 from chambers of commerce, which in part are funded by cities. It also receives 520,000 from the Central Oregon intergovernmental Council and other smaller contribu- tions from cities and the county. These big bucks for tourism promotion are blended with pri- vate•industry funds to market the region. Last year's 5430.000 cam- paign featured slick eight•page in- - serts in Sunset magazine and other major publications. This year, Dob- ert said 1130,000 of CORA's funds will contnbute to a $650,000 mar- keting campaign. Resort and other tourism businesses pick up the rest of the tab. "We're expanding the market. Mg and expanding the number of Artist's rendition shows the Welcome Center, which may be located north of Bend on Highway 97 Central Oregon TOURISM people we're targeting," she said. Deak Preble of the Bend Cham- ber of Commerce said marketing efforts will be aimed south, even though only 20 percent of the region's visitors now come from California. About 40 percent are from Oregon, with another 17 per- cent from Washington. "Clearly, the population cen- ters in California, particularly Southern California, have the greatest potential," Preble said. Which leads back to the Wel- come Center and other projects. The following is a brief outline of each project, its costs and where the money will come from - -The jewel of the • tourism promotion strategy is the Welcome Center, proposed near the former Oregon State Police offices north of Bend. Although some view the center as a fancy Bend Chamber of Com- merce. (and indeed the chamber will manage the facility), the goal of the center is to spread recreation dol- lars throughout the region. Bend and Sunriver lure most tourists, but if visitors stop at the center and see a rodeo advertised in Prineville, maybe they'll visit. Plans call for S200,000 in lot- tery money for the center. The state also would donate or swap land, valued at 5500,000. The Bend Chamber and Bend Foundation/Art in Public Places will donate 350,000 each. Then, with voter approval, the transient room tax will increase by 1 percent, with half of the estimat- ed $200,000 a year raised by the increase going to pay off loans for building costs. Further, another 20 percent of • the increase, 540,000 a year, will pay operation cost. Economic de- velopment groups and other organi- zations will be encouraged to rent offices in the center. If all goes according to Hoyle, the center should be finished by fall, 1988. —Even though the Welcome Centeris the jewel, several nuggets are proposed to complement it — the first being a reservationlactivi- ties coordination center. This office would be like a one- stop reservation service. Tourist could dial a toll -free number to get lodging and ticket reservations. Further, this office would serve as a clearing house for regional events. Mount Bachelor Inc. has pro- posed fronting $55,000 for start up costs. The lottery grant is slated at 365,000. These funds would pur• chase computers, phone lines and software. Mount Bachelor also will man- age the center for the first five years, incurring all losses. After that the office should be self - supporting. Another nugget is a visitor media package. Banks of comput- ers will show vistors places to see, upcoming events and so on. Local sources will provide 575,000 for the project, while the lottery grant is .slated for $45,000. The final nugget is a business information system. This 328,000 computer system, half funded from the lottery grant, would provide information for businesses thinking of locating in Central Oregon. _ — Bend's not the only area slated for a new building. Redmond also would get a new, 5234,750 Chamber of Commerce located near the airport. Its goal is to capture tourists entering Central Oregon by air. The Redmond Chamber will be electronically linked to the Bend Welcome Center. Only 335,000 in, lottery funds will go towards Redmond's Cham- ber. The largest contribution, 5114,000, would come from donat- ed land. The Redmond Chamber would pay operating expenses. —In Jefferson County, three projects are envisioned. The first is an electronic reader board similar to the one in Sandy operated by Mount Hood Meadows. An elec- tronic scroll would announce area activities, ski conditions and up- coming events. The cost is 007,000, with 335,000 coming from the lot- tery grant. The Culver area gets a garbage transfer station for campers using the Cove Palisades State Park. The estimated cost is 315,584, with $8,000 coming from the lottery grant. Also proposed are roadside maps directing visitors to the Me- tolius River and other lesser -known attractions. These rest - area -like turnouts would be on County Route 14, the road to Camp Sher- man, and Forest Service road 2070 leading to Blue Lake and Suttle Lake. The cost of construction is - $25,000, with -$15,000 coming from' lottery funds. — Only one project is tagged for Crook County — a theater in Prineville. Although most doubt the theater will substantially in- crease tourism, supporters do see it benefiting the community. The project costs 349,900, with 530,000 coming from the lottery grant. — Two other projects round out the list. • The first is a 551.000 visitor information center at The High Desert Museum; 57,000 of which would come from the lottery grant. The second calls for 550.500 - for rodeo chutes in LaPine. with 36,000 coming from the lottery grant.

Also present were Rick Isham, County Legal Counsel, Karen Green, Assistant Legal Counsel, Ann Van Dusen, Director of Mental Health, Larry Rice, Director of Public Works, and Lyn Stonelake, Director of Health Department. 1. AMBULANCE SERVICE PLAN Commissioner Throop gave a brief background on the formulation of the Ambulance Plan and stated that the County representatives had met with all providers to arrive at a concensus. County Counsel Rick Isham had some amendments to the Plan, along with suggested changes by Lyn Stonelake. Darrell Churchill, Chief of the Black Butte Ranch Fire District, spoke in opposition to the plan, asking the Board to delay adoption until everyone had sufficient time to review the plan. Chief Churchill also cited some deficiencies he felt the plan had. Steve Chandler, Chief of the Sunriver Fire District, was concerned about the boundary established by the plan. Due to the startup of the LaPine EMS, Sunriver's boundary was no longer valid. Commissioner Throop explained that there was a procedure in the plan to allow for change of boundaries and that reviewing all boundaries would probably be the first priority of the ECOMS. Jerry Best, EMS Coordinator for the LaPine Fire Department, spoke in favor of the plan, explaining that there were a lot of areas in LaPine that would legally not be entitled to ambulance service effective July 1, 1987. Commissioner Throop explained that adoption of the current plan in its form was necessary so that all areas of the county had access to ambulance service. If there were deficiencies cited by the State, the County could work on these and correct them at a later time. Commissioner Throop stressed that the first priority was to ensure everyone had ambulance service. Commissioner Maudlin PAGE -1- BOARD MINUTES: 7/1/87 • G090-0324 questioned why it was illegal for LaPine Fire District EMS to serve certain parts of the LaPine area. Randy Guyner of the Bend Fire Department explained that legislation had passed which prohibited rural fire districts who provided ambulance service from serving outside of their fire district boundaries. Vern Bartley of Air Life clarified the misconception that Air Life services could go to those areas not provided for by the LaPine Fire District. He stated that Air Life was a secondary responder, and when they do go out, that they rely heavily upon those first responders to do the ground work. Being no further public testimony, Chair Prante closed the public hearing from further comment. THROOP: I would move the Ambulance Service Plan be adopted in concept with the amendments by Rick and Terry and incorporating the comments by Lyn Stonelake. MAUDLIN: Second. VOTE: THROOP: YES MAUDLIN: YES PRANTE: YES 2. REGIONAL STRATEGY /SHORT AGENDA Commissioner Prante explained that the State Legislature had passed the regional strategy plan and that regions were required to hold public hearings on the plan. Meaghan Dobert of the Central Oregon Recreation Association read aloud her testimony, stressing the importance of improved information services for increasing numbers of visitors and the economic benefits implementation of the plan would lead to. Peter Dobert of the Central Oregon Economic Development Council also spoke in favor of the plan, stating that recreation and economic development were closely tied and that both would be benefitted by the regional strategy plan. Being no further testimony, Chair Prante closed the public hearing and stated that there would probably be another hearing in the near future.

COEDC's area of assistance includes Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook Counties and the cities of Warm Springs, Madras, Prinevillev Redmond, Sisters and Bend. COEDC is writing in support of the regional economic strategy plan. The twelve components of the regional strategy highlighted by the development of the "Central Oregon Welcome Center" will contribute to the economic development efforts in Central Oregon. Tourism and tourist related facilities are a fundamental component of our future economic development success" COEDC's specific link to this proposal is the implementation of a comprehensive business and industrial information system. This computer system will provide current information to prospects on a regional basis. COEDC believes the development of such a system in conjuntion with tourism efforts will maximize the relationship between tourism and economic development. COEDC, an organization of 320 Central Oregon members, supports the regional strategy plan and endorses the efforts of Committee of Seven. Respectfully, 1Q, V1-\ Peter F.

The Central Oregon Recreation Association strongly supports the regional strategy being considered today. Central Oregon is a state leader in co- operative regional efforts and the proposed plan is a representation of our united goals in the economic development of our region. As the amount of visitors to our area continues to increase in record numbers, the need to provide improved information services and facilities also increases. The benefits of the strategy, coupled with the continued aggressive marketing of the area, provide Central Oregon with a complete tourism program. The Central Oregon Recreation Association strongly endorses the regional strategy proposal and firmly believes the economic benefits of the improved tourism program will be region wide. The link between tourism and the economic development of our region is essential to the future of Central Oregon. Respectfully, Meaghan .

Addendum 4 LOCAL BUSINESS SURVEY Deschutes County conducted a telephone survey in September, 1987, in which 113 county businesses were surveyed. The survey sample used was Bend, Redmond, and Sisters Chamber of Commerce members. Of those 113 businesses: 47 have been established for over ten years 66 businesses had been established for ten years or less. Of the the 47 businesses that have been established for over 10 years, 25, or 53 %, moved to Central Oregon as a result of first visiting here, or because they valued the quality of life the area has to offer. The range of these businesses include: membrane research publishing woodstoves signs countertops woodworking education advertising industrial rollers special machinery boatbuilders membrane manufacturing precast concrete products sheet metal fabrication plastics computer systems and software manufacturing picture framing electronics design engineering tipi makers Of those 66 businesses established for ten years or less, 47, or 71 %, relocated after first visiting or because they value the quality of life the area has to offer. The range of these businesses include: computer software manufacturing companies communications network equipment manufacturing power control devices electronic /computerized timing equipment for sporting events ceramic /metal seals semi - conductor manufacturing tactical remote sensing devices image processing research radio transmitter, biology and medical research 1 - Business Survey, Addendum 4 090 --0332 several wood furniture manufacturers specialized tools and machinery sawblade manufacturing cabinetry video equipment sales and rental manufacture of sports equipment architectural firms solar products several magazine publishers pneumatic conveyors pollution control systems heating and sheet metal welding printing and publishing pottery graphic arts dental equipment manufacturing wood products remanufacturing dental ceramics sign companies custom kitchen designers educational consultants educational materials Over the last ten years there has been a significant increase in businesses who chose to move to Central Oregon after visiting the area. The Central Oregon Regional Strategy is designed to further tap this phenomenon. Of the 113 businesses surveyed, a total of 72, or 64 %, are owned by people who came to the area as a result of visiting the area, or who chose to live here because of the quality of life. Those businesses employ a total of 946 full- and 37 part -time or seasonal employees. Of those 72 business that are here as a result of tourism or quality of life, 47, or 65 %, came to the area within the last ten years and employ a total of 540 full -time and 12 part -time or seasonal employees -- 56% of the total jobs created. This signifies a trend of more recent economic growth, which corresponds with the increase in area tourism promotion over that period of time. Prior to 1975, there were no high tech businesses in Bend. Bend Research and Oregon Communications began business in 1975. Today there are 19 high tech businesses in the area, employing over 370 people. 2 - Business Survey, Addendum 4 CENTRAL OREGON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL, INC. P.O.

COEDC had approximately 220 inquiries in the files built up over a three year period. In reviewing these inquiries, it is possible to document that over BOX represent requests from people who have either visited Central Oregon as a tourist or on a business/tourist trip. Historically COEDC's major task was to market Central Oregon as a "place to do business". Although, this is still a critical task for COEDC, the increase in tourism has resulted in a dramatic surge of interest in Central Oregon. During my short tenure in Central Oregon, COEDC can document that of the 24 companies COEDC is presently working with for relocation from outside the area only two have not visited the region. Those that have visited recognize the quality of life and amenities associated with living in Central Oregon" Most prospects orginally came to the area as tourists or on a business related function and then try to determine how to operate their specific industry in Cental Oregon. Tourism is both a means of marketing Central Oregon and an industry in and of itself. With increased tourism new job and industries will be created to serve the new demand and the expanded exposure will create a heightened interest in the area 1 0090-0 M4 Addendum 5 BASIC RESOURCES Qua]..ity of life Clean Air and Water Desireable Climate Excellent School Systems Community College Recreational Opportunities, Skiing (Mount Bacholor) Snowmobiling Nordic Skiing Water Skiing (lakes and reservoirs) Fishing Hunting River Rafting Canoeing Hiking Mountain Climbing (Smith Rocks and mountain peaks) Wilderness Areas Horseback Riding Geothermal Newberry Crater Alfalfa Sisters Prineville LaPine Industrial Minerals Pumice Scoria Cinders Building Stone Diatomite Clay Sand and Gravel INDUSTRIAL RESOURCES Timber Industries Logging Companies Lumber Manufacturing Wood Furniture Products Building Industry Retail Lumber and Materials Sales High Tech Consep Membranes Automated Power Technology Oregon Computers Tektronix, Inc.

Deschutes County transient room taxes and a blend of public and private dollars fund the marketing effort. This year's advertising budget is $160,000.00 from 20% of the Deschutes County transient room tax. This money was leveraged to $670,000.00 with both local and out -of -area cash contributions which in turn purchased 1,750,000.00 in actual media buys. The campaign is devoted exclusively to advertising in outside areas, and covers the western United States. The primary focus of the campaign is through magazine and newspaper advertisements. Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council The Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council (COIC) is the Department of Commerce - approved economic development district for Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson Counties; the manager of the Job Training Partnership Act program; the corporate manager for the Small Business Administration - approved Oregon Certified Business Development Corporation; a Council of Governments for municipal governments in Crook, Deschutes, and Jefferson Counties; and the manager of the High Desert Purchasing Council. COIC's Board of Directors includes elected representatives from the three counties and seven incorporated cities in Central Oregon, as well as five appointed representatives from the private sector. These appointees are business and economic development leaders from throughout Central Oregon. Central Oregon Economic Development Council Central Oregon Economic Development Council (COEDC) was formed in 1981 for the purpose of attracting and assisting new business to the area, and assisting existing businesses with expansion efforts. The Council markets and promotes the region, through advertising and economic source materials, as a favorable location for new economic development. The Council also provides research on local economic and labor factors, consultants, information on financing options, promotion and marketing counseling. 1 - Central Oregon Organizations, Addendum 7 OO9O.O38 Regional Arts Council of Central Oregon The Regional Arts Council of Central Oregon is an umbrella organization serving all of Central Oregon.

Section 4.08.030, "Tax Imposed ", of the Deschutes County Code, is amended as follows: "4.08.030 Tax imposed. For the privilege of occupancy in any hotel, on and after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter, each transient shall pay a tax in the amount of seven percent of the rent charged by the operator. The tax constitutes a debt owed by the tran- sient to the county which is extinguished only by pay- ment to the operator as agent for the county. The transient shall pay the tax to the operator of the hotel at the time the rent is paid. The operator shall enter the tax on his records when rent is collected if the operator keeps his records on the cash accounting basis and when earned if the operator keeps his records on the accrual accounting basis. If rent is paid in installments, a proportionate share of the tax shall be paid by the transient to the operator with each in- stallment. If for any reason the tax due is not paid to the operator of the hotel, the tax administrator may require that such tax shall be paid directly to the county." Section 2. This Ordinance shall become effective, after approval, on January 1, 1988. 0000°°0347 FLIGHT STATISTICS /BEND - REDMOND AIRPORT Backaround ADDENDUM 11 Horizon Air has been serving the Bend - Redmond airport since early 1985 providing commuter flights to and from Portland. One year ago, Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) also began serving the area. PSA provided expanded service through additional flights and additional destination points. Horizon continued to supply its regular Portland flights. Enplanements In 1985, Horizon had a total of 23,619 enplanements. In 1986, that number went to 22,574. Also in 1986 PSA began serving the area. Their numbers break down as follows: Total PSA Enplanements /one year: 21,600 Total Horizon Enplanements /one year: 22,574 COMBINED TOTAL ENPLANEMENTS: 44,174 Growth Trend PSA serves a higher percentage of recreational travelers, while Horizon has maintained a relatively steady level of business - oriented travelers. Since PSA was geared to serve the tourism market, they have had a minimal effect upon Horizon's business and commuter travelers. While PSA's enplanements almost equaled Horizon's during their first year, Horizon experienced only a four percent decrease in enplanements over that period. Overall, in the year since PSA began service, Bend - Redmond enplanements increased a total of 20,555, or 87 %, almost double the year before. t-oupi ie Late: 7/10187 The Oregon Consortium ANNUAL STATUS REPORT From: 7/ 1/86 To: 6/30/87 District: 10 - Crook; Deschutes, Jefferson Consortium I.

In downtown Bend, thirteen businesses were surveyed. Of those, only one merchant experienced no change, while the other twelve increased from 5% to 32% in overall sales. The average increase was 15 %. In Redmond, seven businesses were surveyed. Of those, one business experienced a decreased of approximately 5 %, three stated that business had remained about the same as the previous year, and three had an increase ranging from two to twenty percent. The overall increase for Redmond was 4 %. Redmond has received minimal impact from the tourism market. In Sisters, eight businesses were surveyed. Of those, one business experienced a decrease of 10% due to some unusual factors that related only to that business. Three merchants stated that there was no change from the previous year, and four merchants experienced an increase ranging from 6% to 50 %. The overall average increase for the eight businesses was 14 %. Another interesting phenomenon is that the clothing businesses, which had either held their own or increased, did so when three new like businesses had been added and two existing clothing businesses had expanded significantly. Even though the clothing businesses held their own, they did so in light of significantly increased competition. The individuals surveyed asked that they not be identified specifically. Not surveyed were the service stations, markets, or shopping malls, all of whom are impacted positively by increased tourism trade. ADDENDUM 14 0090-( P56 REGIONAL STRATEGY REPORT ECONOMIC IMPACT The tourism industry has been an important source of business income and employment expansion for the Central Oregon region. The national recession of 1979 through 1982 had a devastating impact on the region's largest industry -- lumber and wood products. During this period, wood products employment dropped 23 percent and contract construction employment dropped 31 percent. Unemployment rates in March of 1982 were recorded at 13.5 percent in Jefferson County, 19.3 percent in Deschutes County, and 23.6 percent in Crook County. Each of these rates were well above the state average of 12.5 percent. During this same period, the tourism and recreation industry was generally credited with driving the expansion of wholesale and retail employment ( +13 ?) and increases in services and miscellaneous jobs ( +230). Data current to May of 1986 emphasize that most new jobs in the Central Oregon region were nonmanufacturing in nature and the major areas of growth were again services and wholesale /retail trade.

The study model in use by the Oregon Economic Development Department until 1983 indicated that approximately 60 percent of out -of -state tourist expenditures in the tri- county area occurred in Deschutes County.

In 1985, the tri- county area attracted $152,875,000 in tourist expenditures. Of this total, $140,672,000 (92 percent) were in Deschutes County, $7,953,000 (5.2 percent) were in Crook County, and $4,250,000 X2.7 percent) in Jefferson County. These expenditures resulted in 3,842 tourism - related jobs as follows: - Deschutes County - Crook County - Jefferson County 3,544 206 92 Payrolls resulting from the tourism industry totaled $31,494,000. These payrolls were distributed in the three counties as follows: - Deschutes County - Crook County - Jefferson County $29,089,000 $ 1,621,000 $ 784,000 0090.0358 ADDENDUM 15 o\o o\0 0\0 o \o o \o o \o \o 0\0 o\o o\0 o\o LO r-I H N LO 0 l0 In to N M N N in N l0 • 10 ▪ O ▪ in co 01 rl 10 M r-I to r-I H r-I ri N O\o W N LO M 0 LO to r'1 l0 d' N d' to rl C0 d' M O N M N C M 10 H r1 N L.0 N N N N d' CO M O> LO M d' \0 d' 0.

MANDALA COMCUNICATIONS • 709 Northwest Wall St -eet , Me 100 Bend, Oregon 97701 503 "389 -6344 1987 -88 CENTRAL OREGON DESTINATION MARKETING PLAN Background 0090 °0386 In 1986 -87, Central Oregon: 1) Launched comprehensive jet air service via PSA with direct and non -stop flights daily to San Francisco; 2) Implemented a major West Coast marketing program with a cash budget of $434,000 and a face media value of $1 million; and 3) Enjoyed ideal weather conditions, as Mt. Bachelor was one of the only West Coast destination ski resorts not affected by the "snow drought," and because not a single ski season holiday was lost to inclement conditions. The combined effect of these factors was a record - breaking season that exceeded all projections. Mt. Bachelor visitor days were up 45% over 1985 -86; room tax revenues were up between approximately 30 %; and nearly all other visitor attractions and visitor - related businesses profited accordingly. The region enters the 1987 -88 year in an enviable position of strength. The region's many 1986 -87 first -time guests registered highly favorable impressions, and lodging properties reported many on- the -spot rebookings. Advance registrations for the summer months look strong, and the impact of the Spring wave of the 1986 -87 campaign, based on coupon and phone responses, will add significant additional strength to the season. Historically, however, boom times cannot be counted on for long -term economic stability. Following 1980 -81 (the last significant surge in Central Oregon visitor days), the visitor increases proved fleeting, as the following year's counts saw a marked tapering of growth. Central Oregon intends not to allow a similar backslide following 1986 -87. This upcoming year, Central Oregon needs to maintain its increased market share through aggressive marketing, on a scale equal to or greater than that implemented in 1986 -87. Regional awareness in the lucrative California market, as the Central Oregon travel professionals learned during 1986 -87 sales blitzes, is still low. Top -of -mind consciousness takes time and effort to acquire. As a major step toward that end, this 1987 -88 marketing plan is designed. Goal To contribute to Central Oregon's diversified economic base by attracting to the region visitors who will enhance the area's short -term economic health through their visitor expenditures, and who subsequently may consider business start -up or relocation for long -term economic stability. (.'.ember /American Assoc ation of Advertising Agencies IIIMI 0090.=.087 <> To maintain the healthy visitor counts of 1986 -87 by aggressive marketing of multi -day prepackaged vacations. Last year, Central Oregon benefited from ideal weather conditions. Not a single ski season weekend or holiday was lost to weather. 1987 -88 may not be as generous. To offset this possibility, the region needs to generate as many advance, multi -day vacation bookings as possible. Through this approach, we are far less vulnerable if weekend or holiday weather is in- clement. Also, we can balance weekend with weekday traffic, by marketing actively to make multi -day vacations our major product, thus reducing the possibility of weekend sellouts and weekday empty houses. Last year, Mt. Bachelor offered 7 -day packages through a charter arrangement with a travel wholesaler. The trips were offered with only two weeks advance notice, and for seven weeks all minimums were met or exceeded, indicating that the market does respond to conveniently packaged, well - priced long -stay vacations. <> To develop a stronger awareness of Central Oregon as a destination vacation or meeting site in the minds of consumer and travel professional markets. Major awareness building needs to occur in the California and Southwest US markets, while ongoing education and maintenance programs are required in Washington and Oregon. <> To contribute to year -round visitor traffic. Through awareness, pricing and packaging, Central Oregon can extend its Winter and Summer seasons, as well as develop late Spring and Fall traffic. Target Market This plan targets the consumer and travel industry markets throughout the Western U.S. Within this market, California is treated as the priority market segment, due both to that state's dense populations and also to Central Oregon's low existing awareness levels, together which result in major market opportunity. Of secondary but still prominent importance are the Washington, Oregon and other Western U.S. segments. The Plan MEDIA ADVERTISING <> Print. Twice - annual 8 -page full -color ads in major West Coast magazines and newspapers, designed to inform readers about Central Oregon and its vacation - 2 • 0090 -0388 product, and to "call for the order" through the presentation of prepackaged vacations that can be booked via an "800" number. Print ads are scheduled to break over the October /November period, and again over the March /April period. Additionally, the program calls for small black and white newspaper ads to run in the Sunday travel section of major West Coast papers, presenting the Central Oregon vacations with pricing information and toll free numbers for scheduling. Radio. Prerecorded and live promotional messages aired on major stations in major West Coast cities. This plan includes the production of a Central Oregon Vacation ad, which will end with a rotation of tags presenting the vacation package information of specific participating resorts or motels, as well as more generic tags to cover the broad range of lodging establishments who will participate indirectly through room tax collections, CORA and Chamber memberships, etc. Each time a flight of prerecorded ads is scheduled and purchased, we will offer several vacation packages to the station, to be used in on -air contests to gain additional exposure for the region. Radio ads are scheduled to air over the January /February period, but also will be used to bolster other slow periods that may occur. <> Direct Mail. A twice - annual mailing is scheduled to reach past Central Oregon ad inquiries and travel agents. The mailings will be sent in late October and early March. We are working with media such as Sunset, California and Travel & Leisure to arrange their assistance in travel agent mailing programs, as a means of further leveraging our media buys. <> Television. Mt. Bachelor and PSA are scheduled to co -op the airing of a 30- second ad that positions Mt Bachelor with the West's other premier ski destinations. The schedule calls for approximately $150,000 of television advertising in the San Francisco market, targeted to the ski market. PROMOTIONS <> Central Oregon will work with participating corporate co- sponsors (i.e. airlines, car rental companies, etc.), as well as with media (i.e. Sunset, California, etc.) to co -host promotions aimed at achieving additional exposure. For example, we will aim to achieve a travel agent relations promotion with the media; and an in -store merchandising promotion with an airline. Also, we will work with regional chains and /or distributors (i.e. Pepsi -Cola, regional car dealers, etc.) in an effort to establish additional promotional exposure in return for grand prize packages. - 3 0090-O P89 PUBLICITY <> A joint effort by CORA, Mt. Bachelor, and the major resorts will aim to achieve media visibility via feature articles in newspapers, magazines, trade press, radio and television. SALES <> Twice- annual sales blitzes will include the cooperative efforts of the Central Oregon marketing plan consortium, CORA, Mt. Bachelor and the major lodging properties, in cooperation with the airline(s) and other cooperative sponsors. TRAVEL AGENT RELATIONS <> The travel agent market will be educated through a combination of sales efforts, direct mail, advertising and promotions.
