MINUTES OF WORK SESSION
DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MONDAY, JULY 289 2008
Present were Commissioners Dennis R. Luke, Michael M. Daly and Tammy
Melton. Also present were Dave Kanner, County Administrator; David Inbody;
Mark Pilliod, Legal Counsel; and approximately ten members of the public,
including representatives of the media.
Chair Luke opened the meeting at 1:30.
1. Discussion of Proposed Humane Society of Redmond Loan Agreement.
Dave Kanner said he has worked out a way to cover the debt service short-term,
about two months, which is in arrears. He recommended a simple promissory
note to the business fund be used. The amount is about $36,000 and would not
be used for operations.
An audit has been requested. The new interim director is to get financial
controls in place as soon as possible. A tailored audit is recommended, with a
sample of transactions to look for findings, failures and exceptions, which will
generally show whether funds were properly handled. Once financial controls
are in place, an audit should be done. This cost is about $5,000.
Discussion took place regarding the organization's assets, debts, average
income and expenses and other financial details.
The Commissioners agreed to allow a promissory note of $41,000 for debt
service and audit purposes, and for an audit to be conducted.
2. Economic Development Grant Requests:
• Sunriver Music Festival - Cultural Tourism - Commissioners Luke and
Daly granted $500 each; Commissioner Melton granted $1,000.
• United Way of Deschutes County - Project Homeless Connect - the
Commissioners granted $1,000 each.

5. Other Items.
Commissioner Daly said that several groups of people have been holding
weddings on EFU ground, and two of them have contacted him. They hired a
land use attorney to represent them, and they are filing a text amendment to ask
that this work be allowed to continue.
He said that Laurie Craghead is meeting the DLCD to discuss this issue as it
may take a legislative fix. Perhaps the parcel size would make a difference.
Commissioner Luke noted that the Code enforcement action against these
people is on hold for the time being.
Mark Pilliod stated that if other counties have similar situations, perhaps more
can be found out about what they do.

CAIPSTONE
Dear County Commissioners:
As the Executive Director of the Sunriver Music Festival, it is with the hope of
CASCADES
continued support from the Deschutes County Commissioners that I write
seeking funds for our organization.
For the last 31 years, our Festival has brought world-class classical music to the
residents and visitors of this area, as well as music education for the youth of this
region. As indicated by stable audience numbers, continued donations,
sponsorships and grants, our organization fills a cultural need in Central Oregon.
• ~cawa
N EwS-TALK: SPORTS
Our efforts speak to the current and future goals as described in the Deschutes
County Community Plan 2001-2010:
Central Oregon lacks awareness of the contributions the arts make toward our social
health. This lack of recognition has led to the erosion of arts programming in our schools
and early childhood development, as well as a deficit of funding and support of our
existing cultural organizations and practitioners. This trend must be reversed.
goad=~OCe
Additionally, the results announced in 2006 by the Bend 2030 project indicate
that Bend residents envision thriving artistic and cultural programs as
J µ
ingredients in the ideal Bend community.
Ldwardiones
Our organization strongly supports these community goals and seeks your
financial commitment to help us market our programs statewide and in Central
Ore on B j,,; n i t h
~C) music festival, we broaden our support base. Your grant award will ensure that
a we maintain our financial viability. This in turn strengthens our community
throu h cultural and artistic awareness.

DISCRETIONARY GRANT PROGRAM
JULY 2008
1. Describe the applicant organization, including its purpose, leade ship structure,
and activities.
Sunriver Music Festival: 31 Years of Harmony
The mission of the Sunriver Music Festival is to provide and present w rld-class classical
music performances and to support and grow music education for theyouth of Central
Oregon. As classical music orchestras across the nation struggle to remain financially
stable and classical music audiences decline, the Sunriver Music Festi al remains
financially healthy due to steady audience numbers, donations, sponsorships and grants.
It grew from a fledgling organization in 1977 started by a handful of classical musicians
that loved Sunriver as a vacation destination. Now enjoying its 31St season, the Festival
is committed to making the understanding and fulfillment of music a si nificant and vital
part of life in Central Oregon.
The Festival achieves its mission statement through a two-week longsummer celebration
of classical music that includes an ever-expanding series of formal and informal
performances, through a November - May Fireside Concert Series and through a year-
round schedule of music education programs. Summer festival cone patrons plan their
vacations to Sunriver around the timeframe of the Festival, purchasing ickets as early as
April for the August performances. Formal concerts are performed in he Sunriver Resort
Great Hall and Bend's Tower Theatre. Informal performances include free outdoor
concerts and the popular free Family Concert. Other informal and free concerts are
performed by soloists and small groups of the orchestra members, such as duets, quartets
and quintets. There is a free outdoor concert in the park provided as a ift for the
community and as a marketing tool to introduce the Festival to new vi itors and residents.
Additionally, the free "Unleashed" series concerts take place throughout Sunriver and
Bend and feature small ensembles from the summer orchestra. In addition to the free
concerts, a number of orchestra members conduct free instrument-spec fic "master
classes" for both adults and children, and the community is invited to attend all orchestra
rehearsals free of charge.
The Sunriver Music Festival has expanded the audience size of its pop lar Fireside
Concert Series, by moving it to larger venues including the Great Hall d the Tower
Theatre. The Fireside concerts feature small ensembles and soloists and offer a mix of
musical styles. Not only has this series increased the Festival's revenue stream, it has
enlarged the demographic of its patrons, attracting a broad range of ag s and a diversity
of music lovers.
Sunriver Music TestivaC
Music Education: Nurturing Our Youth
Educational outreach programs continue to be an important focus throughout the year.
Music education is a major part of the Festival's mission statement. Programs as diverse
as in-school educational performances, workshops, master classes, and artist-in-residence
programs occur at Sunriver's Three Rivers Elementary and Middle School and
throughout the Bend / La Pine School District. The Festival provides grants to Three
Rivers School for the purchase of musical instruments, to the Central Oregon Youth
Choir, and to the Cascade Community School of Music. This is in addition to the unique
and very successful Young Artist Scholarship Program, providing financial assistance to
Central Oregon classical music students who aspire to make a career in the field of music.
Leadership: At Multiple Levels
The Sunriver Music Festival is governed by a 23 member Board of Trustees and managed
by an Executive Director, Executive Assistant and a Ticket Office Manager. One or two
contractors are hired during peak summer season to manage and coordinate the major
fundraiser, Summer Gala. A college student majoring in music is hired as a summer
intern. Over 250 volunteers and businesses provide time and finances to support the year
round activities.
2. Describe the proposed project or activity.
Goal: Expand Cultural Tourism and Enhance Music Educational Experiences
The Sunriver Music Festival is seeking continued support from Deschutes County's
Economic Development Fund (EDF) to enhance the Festival's visibility and encourage
cultural tourism to our area by both tourists and Oregon residents. As it has each year
since 1999, the Festival would dedicate an EDF grant to expand its marketing program
outside of Central Oregon promoting the world-class performances and the music
education programs that occur throughout the year.
The statewide marketing program includes:
• Production of rack card-size brochures and distribution to all Oregon Welcome
Centers and Visitor Centers. These centers are located in Astoria, Brookings,
Klamath Falls, Lakeview, Ontario, Portland, Umatilla and Ashland.
• Production and direct mail of the Summer Festival ticket brochures to over 7,000
targeted ticket purchasers and donors.
• Radio advertisements and public service announcements on classical radio station
KBPS out of Portland and KWAX out of Eugene. These cities are specifically
targeted for radio ads because Sunriver attracts a large number of second-home
owners and summer renters from these areas.
• Production and placement of print ads in strategic publications, especially
publications that promote Arts & Entertainment, classical music and Sunriver Resort
amenities.
• Create high-end recordings of the summer concerts to reproduce, sell and play over
classical music radio stations throughout the state.
Sunriver 'Music `FestivaC 2
In conjunction with the statewide campaign, marketing of the Sunriver Music Festival
summer series will continue in Central Oregon. This campaign includes:
• Television ads, created in Central Oregon, will appear on local T stations
beginning in July 2008 and continuing through the summer festival, concluding on
August 23.
• Regional radio stations will broadcast ads between mid-July 2008 and August 23.
• Print ads will appear in Central Oregon cultural program handout including those
for Central Oregon Symphony, Obsidian Opera and Cascades Theatrical Company.
• Print ads will appear in local Arts and Entertainment publications.
• Central Oregon Visitors Centers will display the Festival's rack card-size brochures.
• Direct mailings will target past supporters and attendees of the Fe tival.
• Festival banners will be displayed in the Old Mill District and at t e Sunriver
Village Mall.
• Sunriver Scene center spread in the August issue featuring the S iver Music
Festival. 500 extras copies are printed and distributed to all prop management
companies and visitor information centers in Sunriver.
• Featured cover story in Cascade Arts & Entertainment magazine' August issue.
• Production, printing, display and sales of the beautiful summer Festival poster
showcasing a Central Oregon artist.
3. Provide a timeline for completing the proposed project or
k 'matewme anu %-entrau "rC on \.21lli ni i". 1KNU /L - Esc iwiww v
The statewide marketing program, including the production and distribution of brochures
for the summer festival, begins in March and ends at the end of the summer festival on
August 23. This includes all distribution in Welcome Centers, Visitor Centers and
Chambers of Commerce.
Printing direct mail brochures also begins in March and ends in Augus . These ticket
brochures are mailed primarily to Oregon residents, but also go to patrons and donors
throughout the U.S.
Radio, TV and print ads begin July 2008 and run through the end of the summer festival.
The Festival is fortunate to receive a number of in kind ads or matching fund ads
allowing a expanded number of ads to be created and run with a very s all Festival
advertising budget.
High-end recordings would be produced at the end of the summer festi al with the raw
recordings that the Festival's production company produces. The Festival has not been
able to afford high end editing and CD mastering of our summer concerts due for the past
five years to the increased cost associated with this process. The benefit of having a good
recording is twofold:
Sunriver Music TestivaC
• Classical music radio stations, such as KBPS out of Portland and KWAX out of
Eugene, would use the CD recordings as part of their daily broadcasts and during
special programs highlighting the Sunriver Music Festival.
• Good quality CD recordings would allow the Festival to sell and distribute the
summer festival recordings.
Hanging of banners and poster display throughout Central Oregon begins in May 2008
and continues into September.
• The large vinyl banners displaying the Sunriver Music Festival logo and dates of
the summer festival will hang in the Old Mill until the end of the summer festival.
• The beautiful Sunriver Music Festival posters that are created by a local Central
Oregon artist continue to be displayed and sold through September.
4. Explain how the proposed project or activity will impact the community's
economic health.
Spreading the Word: Cultural Depth
Historical data indicates that the Festival attracts a number of statewide and out-of-state
visitors (over 30% of summer festival audiences) who plan their trips to Sunriver to enjoy
the summer Festival concerts and other regional events and activities. On the way these
tourists stop by towns and sites such as Sisters, Redmond, Suttle Lake, LaPine and Smith
Rock, and contribute to the county's economy as they shop, dine, lodge and recreate
along the way. Additionally, they often take advantage of other cultural opportunities
such as visits to the Warm Springs and High Desert Museums. With the average tourist
group of 2.3 people spending $219 per day in Central Oregon (Bend Visitor & Convention
Bureau, 2006), the entire region has much to gain by attracting visitors.
Additionally, a strong statewide marketing campaign raises the awareness that Central
Oregon is artistically and culturally deep. Along with the unmatched recreation
opportunities of our area, more visitors are drawn to Central Oregon if they can be
ensured of cultural offerings such as the Sunriver Music Festival and a number of other
Central Oregon cultural arts organizations. With the sad news of the closure of the
Cascade Music Festival, the Sunriver Music Festival has a larger responsibility to provide
classical music offerings to the classical music lovers in Central Oregon and to the
region's visitors who have always incorporated the arts into their visits.
Another benefit of attracting tourists to the Sunriver Music Festival is that classical music
lovers have significant demographic clout, according to the American Demographics,
Simmons Market Research Report. The report states that, "Classical music fans are
apparently a dream market for purveyors of upscale products and pursuits." It goes on to
summarize that classical music audiences tend to fall in the categories of affluent, highly
Sunriver Music FestivaC 4
educated, curious and adventurous. The classical music audience is a p r me target for
bringing positive economic benefits to Central Oregon.
5. Identify the specific communities or groups that will benefit.
Broad reaching: Our Youth and Beyond
Statewide exposure of the Festival's summer series will mostly benefit the Sunriver and
Bend communities. In addition, the region's tourism industry will benefit as these
visitors travel to the area to take part in Festival events.
Youth in Central Oregon receive substantial benefits as the Festival pr vided over
$30,000 in 2007 to youth music education programs. This includes educational outreach
programs in the schools, grants to purchase musical instruments, artist-'n-residence
programs, master classes, the successful Young Artist Scholarship program and grants to
help sustain and grow important Central Oregon educational programs such as the
Cascade Community School of Music.
The Festival also seeks new and improved ways of making musical ex eriences more
readily available to those who are restricted due to geographic location or economic
constraints. For example, in November of 2006 the Festival brought two professional
classical crossover* musicians from Portland to Three Rivers School t teach
Kindergarten through eighth grade students how to write their own son s, put them to
music, and record them to create their own CD. The Classroom Music Project took three
days. Each class worked independently on the song lyrics, and then with the musicians
on the music and performance. The school viewed this as such a successful music
appreciation program that the Festival offered the program again in De ember 2007.
Three Rivers School is the recipient of Title 1 financial support and has a high number of
underprivileged students (more than fifty percent come from families living at or below
the Federal poverty level).
In addition to Artist in Residence programs, master classes, workshops and educational
performances in schools, the Sunriver Music Festival has provided grant money over the
past five years to Three Rivers School to assist them in purchasing musical instruments
for their band and orchestra students. Many of these young musicians at Three Rivers are
not in a financial position to rent or purchase their own musical instr ents. There are
numerous heart-warming stories from the school's music teachers about the
underprivileged students who were able to be part of the band or orchestra due to these
newly purchased musical instruments.
*The adaptation of a musical style, as by blending elements of two or ore styles or
categories, to appeal to a wider audience.

This letter is in response to your request for a copy of your
organization's determination letter. This letter will take the place of
the copy you requested.
Our records indicate that a determination letter issued in June 1979
granted your organization exemption from federal income tax under section
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. That letter is still in effect.
Based on information subsequently submitted, we classified your
organization as one that is not a private foundation within the meaning of
section 509(a) of the Code because it is an organization described in
section 509 (a) (1) and 170 (b) (1) (A) (vi)
This classification was based on the assumption that your organization's
operations would continue as stated in the application. If your
organization's sources of support, or its character, method of operations,
or purposes have changed, please let us know so we can consider the effect
of the change on the exempt status and foundation status of your
organization.
Your organization is required to file Form 990, Return of Organization
Exempt from Income Tax, only if its gross receipts each year are normally
more than $25,000. If a return is required, it must be filed by the 15th
day of the fifth month after the end of the organization's annual
accounting period. The law imposes a penalty of $20 a day, up to a maximum
of $10,000, when a return is filed late, unless there is reasonable cause
for the delay.
All-exempt organizations (unless specifically excluded) are liable for
taxes under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (social security taxes)
on remuneration of $100 or more paid to each employee during a calendar
year. Your organization is not liable for the tax imposed under the
Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA).
Organizations that are not private foundations are not subject to the
excise taxes under Chapter 42 of the Code. However, these organizations
re not automatically exempt from other federal excise taxes.

Dear Tammy,
On October 13, 2007 Project Homeless Connect along with 525 volunteers helped over 1200
homeless - individuals, families, seniors and veterans receive multiple services ranging from
medical and dental attention to survival skills along with housing assistance and help with
employment opportunities.
Still, in central Oregon each night 1756 people sleep outside, in cars, on the floors of friends
and family, in shared hotel rooms or in the few shelter beds that are available. Of the homeless
identified in the one night count in January of this year, 754 were children. With the
uncertainty that many of us are facing in our own lives it's easy to see how hard times can be
life threatening for those with nothing more than the clothes on their backs. There were three
deaths this winter due to exposure of individuals that lived in the tent camps of central Oregon.
Through the efforts of Project Homeless Connect a renewed awareness has risen and more
coordinated effort is being made to assist those in need. A 10 year plan to end homelessness
and poverty in central Oregon is currently being drafted. More conversations are taking place
between local organizations and agencies in the tri-county area to work together to address this
issue on a united front. A greater emphasis is being placed on education and financial training
for low income and the homeless. We truly want to keep those on the verge of homelessness
from falling off this cliff.
Last year over $38,000 in cash and $15,000 of in-kind donations were received from numerous
businesses, organizations and hundreds of caring compassionate people from all over central
Oregon to support this one day event, and the lasting effects have been tremendous. After
Project Homeless Connect in 2007, $10,000 was granted throughout the area to
assist 64 adults and 77 children to secure or obtain permanent housing. Families in
Madras, La Pine, Prineville, Sisters, Redmond, and Bend benefited from these monies. For your
convenience a detailed report from the event listing all the services and how many people were
served is included with this application.
This year Project Homeless Connect will be held on October 11, 2008 at the Deschutes Expo
Center. We are asking Deschutes County to again support this effort with a grant of $3,000.
The funding provided will purchase basic necessities such as food, personal hygiene and first
aid kits, clothing and blankets, prenatal kits, baby food, diapers and pet food (just to name a
few things) that will be distributed to guests during the event.
A 2008 budget is attached detailing the anticipated expenditures. United Way of Deschutes
County is our fiscal sponsor for Project Homeless Connect. All donations will be received by the
United Way and all payments for expenses will be made in accordance with existing guidelines.

The /Vine Root Causes oaf Poverty
f=amily history of Poverty
Those who are born to poor families are most at risk to remain poor and raise children who live in poverty. Among the
detrimental, cyclically learned behaviors of concern are: weak parenting skills; lowered emphasis on education; poor self-
esteem; physical and emotional abuse; substance abuse; weak literacy skills; lowered expectations in relationships and
work experiences; weak financial management skills; poor health and nutrition practices; etc.
2. Chronic Poverty
This can be due to physical disabilities, mental impairment, seniors who outlive their resources, or substance abuse.
3. Limited Economic Opportunity
This can be more challenging when living in rural areas, or areas where the majority of the employers are paying
minimum wage.
4. Marginal Educational Training Opportunities
There is a lack of suitable education and/or training programs designed to deliver training when it is needed, where it is
needed and linked to opportunities to convert such training into employment and income.
5. Racial/Cultural Isolation and Discrimination
In Oregon disproportionate numbers of Hispanics (27%), African Americans (25%) and Native Americans (29.4%) live
below the poverty level. The statewide poverty rate is 12.4%. Discrimination and isolation take many forms, each one
creating additional barriers to self-sufficiency for those of other cultures.
6. Weak Family Structures
High levels of internal family strife, illegitimate children, deprivation of family love and support, inconsistent parenting, a
lack of parental supervision/discipline; failure at school by children; substance abuse, families abandoned by fathers, weak
or poor maternal bonding when a child is young, etc
7. Weak traditions of Civic Engagement and Limited Social Capital
Low awareness among the poor of how to successfully access, influence, and relate to traditional media and governmental
institutions is a sign that social capital is limited. The absence of the poor in community decision making processes
signifies the need for increased levels of civic engagement. Social capital can be briefly defined a the non-monetary
interactions and connections that add to the lives of individuals and communities. These include trust, good will,
fellowship, social interactions, and community involvement.
8. Limited Community Awareness and Inclusiveness
The lack of community awareness of the realities, make-up, and challenges of local poverty preclude some local solutions
that might be possible.
9. Catastrophic Life Events
Either the individual catastrophic event or a cascade of events can lead to poverty. In Deschutes County alone over
36, 000 people do not have medical insurance. The loss of a job or even a short lay-off can have financially devastating
effects. Divorce is also a major contributor to poverty.
What We All Can Do To Help Those Caught in Poverty
Action leads to change.
Real change, at both the personal and systems level, is most likely to occur through person to person contact, neighbor to
neighbor, and community to community based contact and solutions.
Systems level changes
The environment for actions requires support systems to be in place, allowing those who want abetter job to improve their
job skills, for instance. Another example is: for single mothers, quality daycare may be an essential requisite for holding a
steady job.
Personal level change
Many caught in poverty's cycles have lost hope. Hope can be rekindled. If we expect individ als to make changes in their
lives, we must ensure systems and support are in place. Truly transformational solutions require involvement and
participation by people from all ages and walks of life, including those who:
➢ deliver services to those most in need
➢ bring resources to the effort, but have not been involved in poverty reduction before (i.e.: the business
community, and volunteers)
➢ are living in poverty, or have personally experienced poverty.
Projects such as "Project Homeless Connect" help to bring the cor
together. As a component of the Regional 10 year Strategy to End
community awareness about the realities of poverty. Real solut
formulated during the event through ongoing contact between those
those who can help.

We acknowledge the generous donors, sponsors, partners, and volunteers throughout Deschutes,
Jefferson, and Crook Counties. They made a commitment to a new visionary project that has had
great results across the nation. Our project was the first in the nation to incorporate several towns
and counties into one Project Homeless Connect. Tri-county guest transportation was provided
throughout a rural area where only one town (Bend) had public transportation. By leveraging the
efforts of our entire region we created a vehicle to cooperatively help thousands of people,
engage entire communities, and launch our 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness.

"It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human his ory is shaped. Each
time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out
against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million
different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down
the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. "

Project Homeless Connect Fiscal Report
United Way
of Deschutes County The fiscal agent for Project Homeless Connect was Deschutes County United Way. All donations to this
project were and are tax deductible. We would like to acknowledge the generous donors and sponsors
faith in us. They made a commitment to a new visionary project trusting in the result.
When planning this event our team had a spirited discussion about how to fund the effort. We came to a
consensus that we wanted this to be a "grass roots" effort. We weren't sure if there would be enough
support, but we wanted this event to be a "people's event". So we began our fundraising campaign with a
direct mailing. We received over $2,500! Then we moved on to invite the participation of businesses,
government, and organizations. The sponsorship participation is listed below.
Ten thousand dollars of the money raised has been set aside to provide direct shelter and housing
assistance to restional families The money will be awarded through a grant process administered by a
panel of five community services leaders.

Event Guest Survey Introduction
For this event we set up an Exit Area staffed by volunteers to help our guests complete a
short survey upon leaving the event. The purpose was to evaluate how well we did in
getting people to the event, the types of services that were accessed and/or needed, and to
get feedback on the event itself.
Not all questions on the surveys were answered. Because of this, and because of the limited
amount of people completing the survey, very few solid conclusions may extrapolated from any
portion of this data. The survey wasn't designed to provide profiles of poverty, but rather to
establish a baseline for the progress of our efforts.
Of 1200 guests, 195 took the time to complete a survey. This is roughly 2% of the adults who
attended the event. Portland and Lane County Projects have also struggled with getting a good
percentage of feedback from their guests. Portland has computerized their exit interview process
and has increased their overall survey return rate.
We have several changes we will be making to the surveys and the surv process for our next
event, including making the exit interviews easier and the process more in sting.

Answers to question # 7 continued
"Need someone to show me where to go when I came in."
""Central Oregon needs this. Needs to grow."
"Where are the employment people?"
"It's good everyone got together to help all of us who are in this position."
"Not what I was expecting-though somewhat helpful."
"Make the flyers clearer."
"Surprised how many volunteers are here. Number of volunteers blew me away. Tearjerker."
"I have exhausted all avenues for help and I probably would have been just as well of if I had
gone to Ashley's. At least I would have had a chance, however remote, to better my position. It's
business as usual-sorry, but get lost."
On this last note -man of the guests commented on the fantastic band, the wonderful food, the
nice people, and the help they received. There were very few comments about what went wrong,
what wasn't there that could have been, or other critical comments. We expected that there
would be more criticism from the guests, because WE knew about our mistakes, the services we
weren't able to provide, and the great needs of so many people in our area. The gentleman who
wrote the above comment came to get his dentures fixed and we were not able to provide that for
him. His comment mirrors the truth of our society. Too many people fall through the cracks.

Project Homeless Connect Vendor (Partner) Survey
This report is based on a survey that was distributed to most of the participating agencies and organizations that
provided services at the October 13, 2007 Project Homeless Connect. Each question an the answer corresponds
with the question and answer on the survey. Surveys were handed to vendors as they checked in on the day before
the event. If vendors didn't check in until event day, we attempted to hand them hard copy surveys or send the survey
via email. However, we were unable to get surveys to every organization that participated.
For the next event, we will have a different process for the delivery and return of the surv y. That having been said,
we captured surveys from roughly 50% of the participating agencies and organizations ho offered direct medical,
dental, or social services.
There were multiple questions that respondents left blank. Where multiple respondents ade the same or similar
comment, we listed one comment that seemed representative. We included their answers aid comments, when made,
because they are so insightful. The survey questions are listed with the answers in bold typ.
1. Do you believe that you have made new working partnerships through participati g in this event? How so?
Eighty one percent said that they did make new working partnerships. Ten perce t said they didn't, five
percent gave no answer, and four percent were not sure.
• One respondent answered: "We already worked with other agencies but the event made it
possible to connect in person with other people we might not have met otherwise.
• One of the respondents who answered "no" said, "Because we were working and really not
networking at the event."
Other comments were:
• "Nothing greater than building together."
• just listening to what each vendor had to offer and how they han le the situation (guest
needs) really was educating."
• "There's a wellness conference in the spring that we didn't even know about before this."
• 'Yes, but we would like more contact."
• "I was able to meet in person some partners that we had only spoken with by phone."
2. Because of your participation in this event, can you identify any changes you would like to see happen in
your organization's services?
• "More connection and cooperation with similar organizations."
• "More working partnerships with other services."
• We can contribute more."
• "I would like to see more funds made available for the Central Oregon, Tri-County area. We
do have a great need to be able to house more families in need. This event proved that."
• "Yes-outreach to the homeless."
• "I would have like to have been involved from the beginning. It seemed last minute because I
was not."
• "I talked to a lot of people. I would like to have some way to follow up, provide more
support."
• "More community outreach. I would like (our organization) to become more involved with
this event next year."
• "Perhaps more awareness to the agencies that various organizations are already working
together with the same clients."
• More participation from different areas of service leading up to the vent, not just "day of".
• "Yes, absolutely-for more "one stop shop"."
• "Our policy on Temporary Housing Assistance could be changed for pecial
events/circumstances."

3. Do you believe that, as a result of participation in this event, you are better informed of the community
services our communities offer? Why?
Not everyone answered this question. 71% answered "yes': Many were enthusiastic. 15% answered
"somewhat", and 15% answered, 'no':
• "I do for sure, but the older/newer/richer population moving to Bend needs the
understanding."
• "Most definitely, just seeing everyone come to the table, and the really sincere care and
concern that was given by each vendor was great. I gained so much knowledge as to what is
really out there and just how much each vendor is able to give."
• "I am more informed of the lack of services and how many people who truly need help
aren't qualified for any services at all."
• Yes, but there needs to be a continued effort year round to network between services."
• "Yes. It showed us services available to populations we do not routinely serve."
• "Yes. We already were aware of most of the agencies, but after talking with staff, it does
help to better keep a clearer outlook on services offered."
• "Somewhat."
• "Yes, good job!"
• "Yes, many [guests Icomplained about not being able to get SSU'
• "Definitely! What a great community project."
• "Yes it was great to see so many people agencies involved."
• "Yes, there were agencies that I wasn't aware of."
4. Do you believe that you now have a better understanding of barriers experienced by those who are
homeless or living in poverty? Why?
Sixty Two percent answered, "Yes. " Thirty two percent answered, "No. and five percent answerer,
"Somewhat'.
• "Yes, there were so many working families."
• "The difficulties I had in coordinating my services with other agencies services, without
gaps for the guests, showed me that if we didn't realize exactly what services other agencies
offer, and how to qualify clients between us, then how on earth could clients figure out how
to coordinate the services they need?"
• "Yes, and what and eye opener in the area that most of these people just accept their living
situation, would like help and if immediate help was not available, they seemed to have that
extra bit of patience to wait, if needed. I was so impressed with the whole picture. What a
humbling experience."
• I certainly see struggles with the many hurdles-families who struggle to stay together while
meeting even the bare basics. Together we will make the difference as we continue to grow
service outreach that will help the homeless succeed."
• "Yes-someone said they would've had to take several days off from work to be able to find
even a few of these services."
• "Yes, somewhat. I work for DHS and I do have a pretty good idea regarding what is out
there."
• Yes, somewhat. I would think people with more barriers wouldn't show. But, maybe after
hearing about it will come next year."
• "I have a better understanding that this is a multi-faceted situation/problem."

Project Homeless Connect Vendor (Partner) Survey 2007 (ontinued
Answers to Question 4 continued:
• I'm a professional in this field of work, and I didn't know about all of these resources. I also
didn't realize what large gaps in services there are." A lot of people are falling through the
cracks."
• "No, but the nature of our office is that we are always interacting with the targeted
fsame] population as the Project.
• "How would a untrained person know about the services they need, and be able to get to all
of them? Would they have the stamina to go from one to the next tr ing to qualify?
5. Do you believe that the people that came to this event have had access to adequate services prior to the
event day? Why? The answer to this was predominately, "No": Seventy nine pe cent said, "No.':
Thirteen percent said, "Yes"' and eight percent said, "Some people did."
• "NO, it is hard to access services here that you need. It doesn't matter if you are homeless or
not services you need are hard to come by."
• "No! I believe that there was so much that these people did not kno about, and that we
definitely need to continue with this event at least yearly."
• "I don't believe our community has yet found a way to provide appropriate and adequate
services."
• "Probably not. Transportation is too big of a barrier for most."
• "Many were helped with "red tape" situations today."
• "No. there were many services here today that many did not know a out."
• "Some. It is hard to say. I think it took a lot of courage to come to th s event if were
homeless."
• "Many did not, some knew the system, and there were those that ha severe losses who gave
out of their the little they have. It was a mixed group (guests).
• "Not all in one location. They have to know who to go to for the info and that seems to be the
hardest part."
• "No, but we were surprised art the ration of underinsured to actual homeless."
• "In the health care area probably not, if the numbers are indicative of unmet needs."
• "No, this was an important event."
• "Yes-except for housing and the single homeless persons."
• "Certainly a lot of folks were put in touch with new opportunities."
• The answer to this question is, "NO!"
6. What do you identify as the successes of this event?
• "Raising awareness-most people probably didn't think that there were 1500 homeless people
in C.O."
• "I believe that the people who attended felt that there are organizations run by people who
truly care for them and their plight."
• "The coordination of the tri-county area was great."
• "Great information given out. A sense of dignity for the guests. The direct services people
received were the biggest piece.
• "Collaboration of different programs."
• "All organizations working together for the focus of the people."
• "Homeless may have realized that the community cares and that they are too a part of the
community."
• "Community awareness and message of caring to those who need help."
• "Centralized services in a single location."
• "Contacts for the poor for services and the networking of service providers."
• "The services received by people attending."
26

Answers to Question 6 continued:
• "Made the homeless and poor aware of the services available in our communities."
• "Community coming together. Everyone helping each other."
• "Opportunity to allow low income people to be "waited on" for a change. Allowed them to
get all their services and information at one place."
• "Number of participants, the commitment from agencies to pull out all the stops, and
visibility."
• "Working together to make it happen."
• "At site services-taking claims for disability and SSI, getting books, haircuts, medical."
• "Free of judgment, greed, hate. It was warm, caring environment from what I saw."
• "Just being able to see these people smile and really enjoy themselves for one day. It was so
moving to see the people moving to music, enjoying warm meals and really telling us their
stories as to how they became homeless and really they never expected it."
• "Connections/support for the needy-building elf-esteem."
• "The turnout of people and volunteers."
• "Awareness of homeless population-respect and concern shown to clients-information and
services specific to their individual needs."
• "Everything-the food was outstanding!
• "Raffles and giveaways were a big hit! The haircuts, the number of volunteers, and
transportation to and from the event."
• The community involvement."
• "We screened 27 people for eye diseases and visual acuity."
• It was huge! Nice to see everyone coming together to help others."
• "Observing the people who truly received the love, care and help that they needed.
Observing team work and agencies working together to help a cause and strive to end
homelessness."
What would you change about this event and why?
• Some vendors suggested that wheel chairs, golf carts to transport guests from the parking
area, and bags be provided for the guests, especially from child care.
• Several vendors wanted better placement of vendors and a breast feeding/diaper changing
area be added, and "more on -hand supplies".
• Several vendors thought the services in the upper level (mezzanine) needed to be brought
down to the floor and be better organized.
• Some vendors also listed better and more advertising to the poor, and better transportation
to out lying areas, and maps need to include indexing of services.
• One vendor commented that the event should last for two days rather than one. "One day is
not enough to serve as many people as there are out in the community who need these types
of services."
• "More direct services."
Will you consider participating in this event if it is held next year? Yes L No[J
Everyone that responded to the survey said that they will participate next year.
27
Project Homeless Connect Vendor (Partner) Survey 1007
These are additional vendor comments:
• "More dental services. Stronger capacity building. Have these more often."
• "Because of the large percentage of vets in the homes population, why is the clinic not
integrated with the medical and mental health services?"
• "Get more agencies to participate. Have reliable busing to the agency offices, so that intakes
can be done there so guests can get benefits faster."
• One group wanted twice the space, so they could serve more people. Five vendors said,
better communication. Add showers. More time to plan. More job in available.
• "Have gas vouchers available for the folks who had to come on their wn, so they aren't
using valuable gas to get to a helpful event such as this."
• "This event showed the great need for a mobile medical unit. Hopefully more medical
providers will volunteer their services next year! Thanks."
• "We, as a community, should continue this project and use it to figure out how to offer a
better model of continuum of care."
• "Many people came with nothing and needed more services."
• "Organizers may need to research providers of services more thoroughly in order to better
place them."
• "Congrats-very hard to pull this off, but well done'."
• "I am already planning on doing this again next year."
• "What a loaded questionnaire!"
• "Good job!"
• "A fantastic beginning to a hopefully annual event. Well done."
• "I would like to know about other Project Homeless Connects around the state?"
• "It was a wonderful event."
• "We are already making plans."
• "What a great turn out. I can hardly wait until next year. Just challen ing ourselves to do
more and more."
• "Obviously we need to get poor people more money to live. We must organize for political
action. Create a Dignity Village. Use private homes to house people with intensive case
management."
• "Absolutely, we'll be there."

Review and Results
In review, the efforts of all of the participants of Project Homeless Connect were highly successful.
However, in retrospect there were many things that could be improved upon. Many organizations that
didn't participate this year have already told us they want to be a part of next year's event.
We carefully reviewed and analyzed every aspect of our project and have identified what worked and
what didn't. We also took into consideration the feedback from the guests, volunteers, and partners.
The following are the changes we have targeted:
Expansion of the dental and medical area along with the addition of free glasses and a denture clinic
The expansion of a financial area that includes:
Earned income tax credit information
IDA -matched savings
Micro Enterprise
Voter Registration
Banking for the "unbankable"
Credit checks and credit counseling
The Social Services section will be greatly expanded and will include employer/employee services,
expanded education, and on the job training pieces. Services will be grouped together in a more effective
manner.
Raffles will still be conducted but will take place upstairs to draw guests upstairs. Signage and other
strategies will be added to assure the ability and desire of the guests to visit the mezzanine level services.
Wireless Internet and cell phone use will be addressed.
The tracking and communication pieces will be upgraded. This includes all phases of communications.
The guest survey system will also be changed.
Veterinary Services need to be expanded throughout the day.
The incredible collaborative efforts set forth by those involved with project Homeless Connect were made
to help individuals and families break out of the cycles of poverty and homelessness. PHC has also been a
spring board to the implementation of a Regional Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness.
If you are interested in participating by providing a service at the next Project Connect
taking place October 11, 2008, please contact Cindy Pasko, Central Oregon Partnership,

Deschutes County Board of Commissioners

Bend, Oregon 97701-1960
Deschutes County Commissioners,
The Redmond School District is working with Neighbor Impact's Head Start program on placing a Head Start
classroom at Lynch Elementary School. This work is part of our Community School's effort to bring wrap-around
services to a school whose families desperately need support in the education of their children.
Hillary Saraceno of the Deschutes County Commission on Children & Families has been a key figure in the winning
of an OCCF grant that is allowing our district, along with various other partners, to create a true Community School
that will serve as a model to the rest of Central Oregon. One aspect of the project that remains to be covered is the
furnishings for the Head Start classroom. This is not part of the grant or the general school budget and we are
pursing the approximately $20,000 through various efforts, including the Deschutes County Economic Development
Fund, Discretionary Grant Program.
Hillary Saracen has committed $10,000 through two different sources at her discretion. Neighbor Impact is
chiseling out $2,000 from their current operational budget, even though it was not part of the original budget. We
are attempting to raise the additional $8,000 through this request and other requests to non-profits in Redmond.
Beyond supporting the Community School efforts across the region this initiative addresses two critical needs in
Deschutes County. The first is directly addressing the need to improve Early Childhood education and connecting
these systems to the public schools. Secondly, it will potentially support school-aged childcare as this space may
allow us the chance to develop programming for this population. We are also exploring how this classroom space
can be used for parent education programs during the evening hours.
There will be one group of 17-20 Head Start students at Lynch Elementary - most will be students who live in the
Lynch boundary. Plans to add a second group into this classroom space are underway, with the hope that this group
will start in the fall of 2009. The funding for the classroom, and required modifications, are being paid through the
OCCF grant and school district support. The staffing for the class is covered by Neighbor Impact-Head Start. The
development of an age appropriate playground is being paid through the OCCF grant and school district support.
A key component of this initiative is the self-sustaining aspect of the venture. The startup costs will be completed
this year and the funding for Head Start instructional staff will be maintained by Neighbor Impact. We will be able
to maintain this program as long as the district has space - something that should exist as we build our new schools.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Re: Central Oregon Youth Investment Foundation - Application for Grant
5010(3) Non-profit organization, Federal Tax ID 93-1150392.
Dear Commissioners,
On behalf of the Central Oregon Youth Investment Foundation, I am writing to you for consideration of
our request for a $5,000 discretionary grant to help fund the purchase of replacement Drill Rifles and
related equipment for the Oregon National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program in Bend, Oregon.
1. Describe the avolicant organization, including its purpose, leadershiu structure, and activities.
In order to provide you with an overall picture of our program purpose, the background information
begins with a description of the Oregon National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program (OYCP), which is a
State of Oregon government agency. The Central Oregon Youth Investment Foundation was established
in 1994 for the express purpose of supporting the needs of Oregon youth enrolled in OYCP.
Oregon Youth Challenge Program
Located in Bend, OYCP is Oregon's only public statewide quasi-military based school, including
supervised work experience in community service and conservation projects. It is fully accredited by the
Northwest Association of Accredited Schools through the year 2008 and is a statewide public alternative
high school. It is a residential 22 week program followed by 12 months post-residential mentoring and
placement for each student cadet. Two classes per year are conducted and serve a minimum of 112
student cadets each class. In June 2008 the current class graduated 125 student cadets from all over the
state, representing 16 counties and 51 different high schools.
The authority for all National Guard Youth Challenge Programs in the nation falls under the Secretary of
Defense who has entered into an agreement with the Governor of the State of Oregon. The OYCP
program agreement was established in September 1994 and is currently funded through the 2007-09
biennium with a combination of state general fund (13%), state basic school support and school lunch
funds (27%), with a federal funds matching amount (60%). The funding level for our program in 2008,
including federal match, will be $3.75 million annually. We expect to receive continued state
appropriations during the upcoming 2009-11 budget process.
OYCP is a voluntary educational program. Eligible youth must be Oregon residents, from 16 to 18 years
old, not be currently enrolled in school (dropped out), and have no criminal background. The educational
purpose includes the opportunities for student cadets to eam a high school diploma, GEE or 8 Oregon
OUR MISSION: Is to provide opportunities for personal growth, self improvement and academic achievement ccred itation
among Oregon high school drop outs, youth no longer attending and those failing in school, through a highly through
structured non-traditional environment; integrating training, mentoring and diverse educational activities. 2008
certified high school credits to re-enroll and then graduate from their high school. 1 curriculum is
authorized by the accrediting authority, the State of Oregon, and the Bend La-Pine SIch District.
Central Oregon Youth Investment Foundation
Established in 1994, the Foundation is represented by a group of volunteers. Deschutes County
Commissioner Dennis Luke is Chairman, and Harold Ashford, Certified Public Accountant is Treasurer,
providing all accounting services for the Foundation. All board members provide oversight and approval
for any and all expenditures that the OYCP requests to make from funds donated by parents,
grandparents, grants, agencies and friends of Youth Challenge. I am enclosing a copy of our Foundation
brochure for your reference.
The primary purpose of the foundation is to support OYCP and make resources ava lable to the student
cadets and program that will create opportunities for continued success during and fter graduation. This
is done through the acceptance, approval and monitoring of donations as well as for d raising activities on
behalf of the Youth Challenge Program.
2. Describe the proposed r sect or activity.

The OYCP Advisory Board members are currently working with local community businesses in an effort
to obtain donations. The goal is to have the project completed in time for the current class students'
selection and training for Drill Team and Color Guard by the end of August, 2008.
4. Explain how the proposed proiect or activity will impact the community's economic health.
5. Identify the specific communities or groups that will benefit.
OYCP is an alternative high school, available to families throughout the State of Oregon. The Drill Team
is an important adjunct to the core components at OYCP. All 8 core components of the Challenge
Program are fully integrated and must be successfully completed by students in order to graduate our
program.
o The program works to return the students to the school system to obtain a high school
diploma, thus reducing Oregon's dropout rate, and takes some of Oregon's most difficult 16
to 18 year old dropout/problem students and prepares them for return to high school.
o The Challenge Program mentoring program model directly relates to the governor's
mentoring goals and is the second largest mentoring program in the U.S. only behind the
Boys and Girls Club of America.
o The program provides structured teen work and life skill training and experience through
partnerships with other governmental agencies, community service and classroom instruction
in these specific areas.
o By providing educational and work-skill training to at-risk high school dropouts, the program
helps to reduce the number of juvenile arrests.
6. Itemize anticipated expenditures. Describe how grant funds will be used and include the source
and amounts of matching funds or in-ldnd contributions, if any. If the grant will support an
ongoing activity, explain how it will be funded in the future.
Central Oregon Youth Investment Foundation has received $3,500 in restricted donations specifically to
help pay for the purchase of replacement Drill Rifles. Total minimum estimated cost for purchasing the
rifles is $8,000. The ongoing expenses would be rifle upkeep and repairs, curriculum, flags, stands and
poles, uniforms and accessories. Ongoing expenses would be paid for from any surplus drill rifle
donations or funded by OYCP.
o 30 Drill Rifles $8,000

need additional information. I can be reached at the OYCP facility by phone 317-9623 extension 226 or
