Deschutes County Clerk Certificate Page - L= t C Deschutes County Board of Commissioners 1300 NW Wall St., Suite 200, Bend, OR 97701-1960 (541) 388-6570 - Fax (541) 385-3202 - www.deschutes.org MINUTES OF WORK SESSION DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MONDAY, AUGUST 20, 2012 Present were Commissioners Anthony DeBone and Alan Unger; Commissioner Tammy Baney was out of the office. Also present were Erik Kropp, Interim County Administrator; Dan Sherwin, Road Department; David Givans, Internal Auditor; representatives from the Humane Society of Redmond, the Humane Society of Central Oregon, Bend Spay/Neuter Project, and a few other citizens, including media representative Erik Hidle of the Bulletin. Chair DeBone opened the meeting at 1:30 p.m. 1. Annual Update from Humane Society of Redmond and Humane Society of Central Oregon. Representing the Humane Society of Redmond was Chris Bauersfeld, Don Wayne, and another person who did not sign in. Representing the Humane Society of Central Oregon was Cathy Oles, Crystal Mendiguen and two others who did not sign in. HSCO representatives stated they are trying to focus on standards of care. The annual report is not yet complete. They are providing vouchers for spay and neuter for those with a demonstrated need, but the veterinarian community is not being as cooperative as it used to be. They are providing food for pets so people can keep them, but they have to demonstrate a true need. Placement rates for dogs are much higher than it is for cats. About 80% of adoptable animals overall are placed, which is better than most shelters. They were named the nonprofit of the year by the Source newspaper. The public service announcements from the County for licensing dogs has helped to return more dogs to their owners. They started a program to track volunteer hours, and between the shelter and the thrift store, it equals about 10.5 FTE. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, August 20, 2012 Page 1 of 7 Ms. Mendiguen said there have been changes internally. The 2010 Association of Shelter Veterinarians white paper listed what is acceptable and what is not. No shelter anywhere satisfies all guidelines. There are 560 guidelines and 137 were problem areas at HSCO. They implemented changes on 63 of them, including cat housing, which was too small. They got new cat condos to give more space. Another representative said these are the ones with a low monetary impact. Others will need specific funding plans. They are outlining a strategic plan and goals. This will focus somewhat on community cats, but they have had no time or ability to partner. They hope to start a dialogue soon. They realize the Board is concerned about this. Much is education and they are also working on the potential of TNR (trap, neuter, release). However, many people do not want the cats back. This needs to be targeted, since a blanket approach does not work. They developed a disaster plan on how to get the animals out of the shelter in the event of a wildfire. They have unaudited financials available to review. Funding from the County has been through grants and licensing, and boarding and cremation services. Chair DeBone asked if cats get dropped off by officials, generating a boarding fee. Toni said that this seldom happens so little of this is billed. Commissioner Unger noted that the laws mostly apply to dogs. Mr. Kropp asked if compliance to the guidelines is audited or monitored. Crystal said it is through self-assessment; there is no one to come in and analyze, and no outside agency to offer oversight and compliance to guidelines. Commissioner Unger stated they have received a lot of e-mails regarding concerns about cats, dogs and operations. The County does not manage shelters but gets requests on what to do. There is a lot of interest out there and they are looking for specific outcomes. He sees this as the shelter's job. A HSCO representative indicated that the HSCO board is making a fundamental shift to be just a policy board, and leave operations to others and not get involved at that level. For instance, this could be regarding how many animals are euthanized or if behavior issues can be addressed. This takes money and time and sometimes is not an option. One area would be to add some capability to train or evaluate dogs. They are sensitive to this. A HSCO representative added that volunteers need to focus on the needs of the dogs and cats while staff deals with operational needs. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, August 20, 2012 Page 2 of 7 Mr. Kropp said that they show more revenue than expenditures last year. He was told that the overall budget is higher and they do have a positive cash flow. There are other sources of income besides operations. The budgeted at a loss knowing that there is a cash resource to cover some of this. It is different this year; they have department managers more involved. They had money in the bank to be able to do more and enhanced the budget with reserves as needed. Chris Bauersfeld of the Humane Society of Redmond said they are a high-save shelter, saving 98% of the dogs and 96% of the cats they accept. They took in about 2,000 animals, including dogs from other states. They try hard to address dog behavior issues, to make them more adoptable. They also adopted guidelines. They had to be creative as well. They made the cages somewhat bigger. With the help of volunteers and donations, they were able to meet many standards. They have an active dog program of mentoring and walking. Dogs are sometimes there too long. They developed a program for individual dogs, rewarding volunteers when things go well. They have a new program to identify dogs that do not do well in shelters, including off-site placements and a trainer for up to four dogs. It has been very successful. They try to teach people how to properly play with cats, and have a few colony rooms with other cats. The volunteer program is robust and equals about 15 FTE. They did not bring financials today. They have a small budget so depend on volunteers. They spayed/neutered 1396 animals last year and provided emergency medical care for some. They get referrals from the vet community. They give away as much food as they can to those who need it, through a screening process. When asked about open admission or a waiting list, Ms. Bauersfeld said they try to get people to do other things first, as part of the education process. They refer them to other groups as well. People need to be responsible with their animals. They have to prioritize and do triage. They also have to plan for intake of animals from the City and County. The only big issue right now is pit bulls, which are harder to place. They try to hook them up with a trainer, but they have no funds for a full-time trainer. Some dog walkers will take them home. Dog trainers spend their own money on continuing education. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, August 20, 2012 Page 3 of 7 They will spend some time this year looking at their donor base and at board development. Many already put in too much time. Most employees are part- time. They are trying hard to be fiscally aware of issues and try to get the job done. Mr. Kropp asked if they predict a balanced budget. Mr. Wayne said they are working on the next fiscal year budget. They anticipate a $35,000 net loss for 2012-13. However, they have endowments coming in and are being aggressive with expenses and intake. Ms. Bauersfeld said they want to form some alliances in particular regarding TNR. Some other things will come up. This is a positive thing for the community. They have a big cat problem and something has to be done. It is a nightmare. Cats transcend the problem. They do not see any coming in from the City or County, so no one gets billed. There is no money in the cats and they drain resources. They have to find a way to engage the community more. A HSCO representative asked where the problems are with the cat issues Megan Wellinghoff of BSNP said they are all over, in Redmond, La Pine, Prineville, and all the cities. BSNP knows the neighborhoods. If someone says there are two or three cats, there are probably 10 to 20. 'People want help trapping and altering cats or want them gone. There is no magic, but they advocate TNR. They have traps to loan out. They will spay or neuter stray or feral cats free for the public. Removing the cats does not work; others will fill in the space. Over time, attrition of altered cats will eliminate the high numbers. There was a colony of up to twenty when she moved five years ago. Now there are just two. They are ear tipped so it is obvious they are altered. They do not look to the County to fund this entirely, but are looking for grants. There needs to be an alliance of the groups. Spay and neuter is the right direction. Sheltering them is the problem. Spay/neuter takes the load off sheltering; focus on spay/neuter so they do not end up in a shelter; prevention instead of treating the resulting problem. Ms. Bauersfeld said they get a lot of calls from Crooked River Ranch and mobile home parks. They are not animal control. They do not take animals from Jefferson County and Jefferson County will not do anything. They also gets calls from Crook County. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, August 20, 2012 Page 4of7 Ms. Wellinghoff said trapping and euthanizing cats costs about $50 per cat. It is estimated there are at least 20,000 stray or abandoned cats in Deschutes County. It is neither possible nor ethical to eradicate them; that is not the answer. TNR is one way to deal with many and is more cost-effective. Ms. Bauersfeld said they are doing TNR on some, but they will not go get them. People have to bring them in; they do surgeries and send them back. They also combo test them, and about 3% are positive and are destroyed. Commissioner Unger asked who is taking the lead on getting grants. Ms. Wellinghoff said HSCO was to write a big grant, but the deadline was August 31. So, this puts it off until February. A HSCO representative indicated they need a five-year plan, which is a lot more work. HSCO just deals with animals that are brought to the shelter and does not deal with those in the community. Ms. Bauersfeld stated that the local veterinarians are on board with this effort if they can be compensated appropriately with grant funds. They do not want to spend their own resources on this kind of thing, TNR or dealing with stray cats. Mr. Wayne added that some grants are very specific. It is a real commitment. Ms. Wellinghoff said that one huge piece is educating the public more. They need to think about their own pets and be responsible. They need to know their pet may be contributing to the bigger problem. Another way to get money out of the public to help deal with this is asking for a percentage of property taxes. Education is the key. It is a start. Margarita Callejo, a volunteer, suggested the shelters think about hiring or training someone to do TNR; trapping and transporting. Relying on volunteers is almost impossible. She helped a disabled woman who was feeding community cats, and ended up with more than 50 to be altered. It is too hard to do this by just relying on volunteers. You will never catch up with the increasing population without a concerted effort during a specific and compressed time period, preferably starting this winter before the cats are breeding again, with enough people to do it. The problem is everywhere in this area. Mr. Kropp said that Commissioner Baney hopes to set up some kind of meeting of the groups to address this situation. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, August 20, 2012 Page 5 of 7 2. Consideration of Board Approval of an Application for Title 2 RAC Funding for WeedNegetation Educational Programs. Dan Sherwin explained the application for the grant, which they have had for three years. Each year the amount lessens. This funding would be a modification to the previous grant. He is applying for the $28,000 amount based on the in-kind match, but the amount to be granted is yet unknown. It is up to the Federal government as to what, if anything, is granted, although they have been supportive in the past. UNGER: Move approval of grant application as proposed. DEBONE: Second. VOTE: UNGER: DEBONE: 3. Other Items. Yes. Chair votes yes. Mr. Kropp stated that Health Services needs approval of a grant application for $10,000 to assess adolescent health issues. UNGER: Move approval of grant application as proposed. DEBONE: Second. VOTE: UNGER: DEBONE: Yes. Chair votes yes. Mr. Kropp said there was a discretionary grant discussion on Wednesday, and staff will recommend how to handle community grants. Maybe there should be a percentage for each category; maybe quarterly on discretionary grants, and not allowing more than one type of grant per year. Chair DeBone asked for a list of what has been requested and granted, as some have contacted him and he does not know if they already got one. The Board then reviewed upcoming meetings and plans. Being no further discussion, the meeting adjourned at 2:50 p.m. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, August 20, 2012 Page 6 of 7 DATED this a Day of 2012 for the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners.

Community Outreach: We estimate that we support over 5,000 families annually from all over Central Oregon Low Cost Spay/Neuter Program: A service to our community provides low cost spay and neuter services for cats and dogs. Program focus is for those who cannot afford traditional avenues for these services. Outside Spay and Neuter Surgeries 1,396 Animals Inside Spay and Neuter Surgeries 1,005 Animals Community Emergency Medical Care: For pets in need of emergency medical care whose owners cannot afford traditional sources. We provide medical care, pain relief, and eliminate suffering for these animals. We offer reduced rates on treatments and affordable payment terms. Animals Treated for Emergency Care 206 Animals Community Education: To introduce the many services provided by our shelter to our community, two open houses were held. Over 100 visitors met with our veterinarian, shelter staff, and volunteers, all of whom provided information about pet care, the importance of spay and neuter, training, and other programs. Page 1 1 .0 Volunteerism: Volunteers fill an important role in our organization, providing leadership, manpower, and animal interaction without cost. It would be impossible to run our shelter and thrift store without our volunteers. Each >year, volunteers provide the equivalent of 15 FTE's (with an employee value of over $500,000). Some 100 core volunteers provide the bulk of the 27,000 logged volunteer hours. In the past year we have focused on increasing our volunteers and the services they provide for our animals. Some of the many programs run by and with volunteers include: Foster Programs: Our foster programs are run by a talented volunteer with over 60` placement families available for: Kittens and Puppies too young for adoption Older animals with medical issues making them unlikely candidates for adoption ("Fospice" Program) Animals in need of rehabilitation, better served outside the shelter Last year, approximately 115 animals were in foster care at some time during their stay. Dog Buddy Volunteers: ` A dedicated group of 100 volunteers take our dogs for walks daily to help maintain the physical and mental stability of the animals. A volunteer runs the program, scheduling walkers and making sure the dog is properly chosen for the ability of the walker. A new program called "Dog-gone" created and designed by the core 30 dog walkers, assigns a longer term dog to a walker. A detailed training program is established for the dog, and points are rewarded to the walker as their rehabilitation efforts lead to a successful adoption. This program has proven effective in reducing stay times for some of our less popular breeds and individual dogs. The Smoke Jumper crews, homed near Redmond Airport, come to our shelter and take our dogs for runs during their training exercises. The best runners among our dogs get a great workout with the Smoke Jumpers. Community' Schools: One of our volunteer dog trainers has visited local schools, with some of our dogs, providing education on the proper treatment of animals and pet needs. A small program at present due to limited resources and materials; this will be a focus of future volunteer driven programs. Page 2 Physically and Developmentally Disabled Community Members: For those with health challenges, our volunteers provide interaction with our animals and teach proper methods for pet care. Off-Site Adoption Events: Volunteers run these important events, increasing the adoption opportunities for our animals. A full calendar of events including adoption events at PetCo and PetSmart, Bend Farmer's market, Sisters Fair and Fall Festival, Chico's, Orvis, Music on the Green, etc. Each of these events allows us to reach out to the community with information and education about animal care and the resources available. Other Services: Volunteers provide support for our front desk, marketing, donor development, and other important roles in the operation of the organization. Memberships: Our membership base increased by 45% during the first seven months of this year. This large increase is due in part to a telethon member drive and an e- newsletter, The Shelter Scoop, sent to 1300 contacts. Our Facebook fans increased from 100 to 614 and it enjoys one of the highest fan engagement ratios of any organization in Central Oregon - by a wide margin. In 2011 we made an effort to track, measure and report on 'key metrics' for growing our support base. Board of Directors: We are actively seeking new board members with specific skills to fill out the needed roles on our board. Recent Additions: We've added two new board members, one a Human Resources Specialist and the second a local business professional having experience with local government. A lawyer has expressed an interest in joining our board and will probably join in September or October. A CPA is providing his expert assistance in preparation of our financial documents and reviewing our accounting practices. Page 3 What we do every day!

I am the current Executive Director of Bend Spay and Neuter Project and have lived in Bend for 8 years. I have been involved with local animal welfare issues here for about 5 years now. I have also spent the past year working at a very large scale high volume, high quality, spay and neuter clinic in Austin, TX. I was lucky enough to be able to see first hand how the most successful large scale No Kill movement ever achieved is being implemented in Austin and the impact it has had on the community, both people and animals. Bend is a progressive, locally minded town with a huge heart for animals; I have no doubt that the No Kill movement is coming to Bend in the near future. You may have seen the editorial in the Source this week, a sign that may even be here already. I think there will be strong community support for this, but there is no doubt that it will only be possible with the support of our local government and guidance from government officials and animal advocates from cities like Austin who have been successful in becoming a No Kill City. In preparation for this movement, I would like to highlight some of the important pieces that will need to be in place to make this a success (success to the movement being defined as approximately 94% live outcome rate for an open admission shelter like HSCO) for all of those who choose to throw their support behind the movement. I feel that the two most important components of this process will be ensure proper funding for both high volume/low cost (and FREE) spay and neuter services for the public (i.e. preventing the problem) AND continued funding for shelter services (i.e. treating the problem). A strong emphasis needs to be placed on community education concerning the importance of both spaying and neutering your pets, as well as adopting animals from shelters and rescue groups. In addition to spay/neuter, sheltering and education funding, there will need to be a low cost veterinary resource of some kind, to provide help to both the public and local shelters when they have sick or injured animals who are treatable. This could be a non- profit organization or if possible a publicly funded organization that requires income qualifications for treatment to be provided. Currently, local low income pet owners who have sick or injured pets often times have no choice but to surrender their pets to the shelter as they have no place where they can afford to take them for treatment. This puts a hefty financial burden on the shelter and in turn many of those pets end up being euthanized unnecessarily. A low cost veterinary resource would keep pets out of shelters and would ease the burden on shelters when they are faced with a treatable sick or injured pet. In Bend specifically, I believe that more shelter resources will need to be allocated for cats in particular, as they have the highest euthanasia rates in our area. Along those same lines, another component that is in place in Austin on a smaller scale than what I feel is needed here in Bend, is a comprehensive, managed feral cat population control plan. I believe this can be achieved through funding from a national organization like PetSmart Charities, along with collaboration between our local shelters and Bend Spay and Neuter Project to create a large scale Trap, Neuter, Return program using volunteers from our community. Education would play a vital role in this area as well, as we would need the community's support to help make this a success. According to calculations provided by the Journal of the American Veterinary Association and PetSmart Charities, the number of estimated feral cats living in Deschutes County is somewhere between 15,000 and 20,000. I have discussed this with other local animal welfare leaders and we agree that the number could be much higher, and concentrated in areas such as Redmond and LaPine, based on the number of phone calls we receive and Trap, Neuter, Return work we've done in the past. Trapping and killing the feral cats has been proven unsuccessful and is very expensive to taxpayers. The cost to trap and euthanize a feral cat can be estimated on the low end at $50 per cat. At that price it would cost over a million dollars to simply catch and kill all the cats in Deschutes County, and it would be an ongoing process because they would continue to breed at a rate of up to 14 kittens per year per female cat, 7 which could be female, each of which will also have 1.4 kittens per year, you get the idea. The abundant proliferation abilities of the cats would make the eradication process nearly impossible. Attached is some additional information from Dorinda Williams, a retired City of Austin auditor who was an instrumental part of making Austin's animal welfare system so successful. I would be happy to sit down with you and discuss this topic in more depth in the future. In fact, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet with you in the future to discuss animal welfare issues here in Deschutes County. Thank you very much for your time, and I hope we can work together to make Deschutes County a safer place for the animals living here. Sincerely, Megante'lli 920 ff Executive Director, Bend Spay and Neuter Project mgwellin hoffCa gmail.com 541-728-8085 Bend Spay Neuter Project To reduce euthanasia rates communities must have in place progressive placement programs for animals that entered the shelters and strong prevention programs to reduce pet homelessness. It is important to have both elements in place. Communities tend to focus on placement first because everyone can see sad animals eyes looking out of a cage. However, (in my humble opinion) it is impossible to drastically reduce euthanasia through placement programs alone. Progressive Placement Programs • Partnerships with rescue groups. Responsible and well-run rescue groups can assist shelters with placement of animals. These groups take animals out of the shelter for adoption purposes freeing up space for new animals coming into the shelter. Additionally, these groups can take animals that need medical care or other rehabilitation prior to adoption. This type program gives shelters an opportunity to save animal lives that would have been euthanized due to injury or illness. (Austin has a program for reviewing and approving rescue groups.) • Foster programs. Foster care can save lives by providing temporary homes for animals that need time before they are ready for adoption. Starting with underage animals is the fastest way to get a program started (people love to take home babies so it is easy to get fosters) and it will have a very immediate positive impact on euthanasia rates. Mature foster programs can develop programs for adult animals in need of training, recovery from health issues, etc. For high volume foster programs you will need a foster coordinator. The foster coordinator finds placement (reviews and approves foster applicants) for animals in need of foster care, coordinates any medical care required (vaccinations at a minimum), and coordinates return to the shelter for adoption. You can start a program with a volunteer foster coordinator. • Open adoption practices. Many shelters have significant barriers to pet adoptions. Open adoption practices assume that people coming to the shelter are well meaning and intend to do something good. So rather than putting barriers to adoption in place, the focus is placed on pet matching to help people find the pet that will be successful in the home and counseling services to help adopters have the information that they will need to be successful with their new pet. (The ASPCA has a good pet - matching program. Austin has a good program.) This change alone can make a significant change to euthanasia rates. Prevention Programs Prevention of animals becoming homeless and entering the shelter is the most effective way to reduce animal euthanasia in a community. Even a small sterilization program focused on the right animals can have a significant impact on animal intake numbers. It is possible for a community to permanently reduce and then stabilize the animal intake numbers if these three programs are in place: • Affordable sterilization services. These services are typically provided by a non-profit organization that uses private donations to subsidize the cost of the surgical procedures so that services can be provided at an affordable price. These services should be targeted to at-risk (of becoming homeless) animals. Targeting to this population of animals can be done through providing services in at-risk neighborhoods, marketing through neighborhood centers and clinics, etc. You don't have to spend a lot of money on this type of targeting if you have a strong collaboration with the local government and non-profit agencies that are serving low to moderate income families. • Free sterilization services. These services are typically provided by local government. These services are critical in order to stop the flow of animals coming into the shelter from families that cannot afford to pay anything towards animal sterilization. Very poor families will have animals and those animals will reproduce unless services are available to these families. Mobile programs are ideal because the services can be provided in the neighborhoods where the animals are living (transportation is often a barrier to accessing sterilization services.) However, there are models where sterilization services are provided at a set location and transportation of the animal is provided when necessary. These services when targeted to neighborhoods with the poorest families and highest rates of animal intake can have very immediate impacts on both bite incidents and animal intake. If the program is very targeted, a small program can have noticeable impacts. Local government should contract for these services with a provider that has expertise in high volume/high quality sterilizations. (We don't want to take sterilization services away from animals placed out of the shelter.) • Free feral cat sterilizations. Every community has a feral cat problem that is negatively affecting the community in numerous ways. These cats will make significant contributions to shelter intake (people find nests of kittens while the mother is out hunting and take them to shelters), nuisance complaints to animal control, bites, health concerns, etc. These only effective way to control these populations is though aggressive sterilization programs. I have seen these programs provided through a mix of non-profits and local government. However, I make a strong case for local governments to provide these programs because of the public health risks associated with rabies in these unvaccinated feral cats. Sterilizing them and vaccinating them for rabies will provide a population of cats that is under control and has had at least one vaccination. The way these programs typically work is there is a cadre of volunteer trappers that trap the feral cat and bring them in for sterilization. After sterilization, the trapper returns that cat to its colony. Someone should be periodically monitoring the colonies to ensure that there is not a new comer to the colony in need of sterilization. This is usually trapper but does not have to be. If funds are limited, focus on the females. I implemented a pilot project that sterilized only 300 cats (high percentage of females) and had an amazing impact on the kitten intake that spring. Because you are using volunteers (and the public) these programs are very cost effective.

I have attached an outline of the grant proposal as well as the history of the weed education grant. The total project proposal is $42,990.80. The amount requested from the RAC will be $28,776.00 and the in-kind from Deschutes County will be $12,776.00. The grant will provide funding from October 1, 2012 to December 31, 2014. The first RAC weed/vegetation education grant was provide in 2010 for $28,500 and a second grant in 2011 provided an additional $19,000. This grant would continue to provide funding for the Deschutes County Weed/Vegetation Education Program. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Dan Sherwin Quality Services Performed with Pride Grant Narrative • Background Deschutes County has managed a very successful Education and Outreach program for several years. The results of the outreach effort are evidenced for example by our annual community wide weed pull. What started as a few people, 70 in 2003, targeting a specific lot in their neighborhood has expanded to involve over a thousand volunteers in 4 cities within Deschutes county and a number of other non-incorporated areas. We have acquired and equipped a "Weed Education Trailer" that is present at many community events throughout the tri-county area such as: Deschutes County Fair, the Oregon State Fair, Crook County Farm Fair, Jefferson County Fair, Home and Garden Show, River Fest, Let's Pull Together, Living On A Few Acres conference. There are still many people to educate and motivate. Even with the current state of the economy Deschutes County continues to grow. People are moving to Central Oregon from everywhere in the United States and from around the world. These people need to be educated about noxious weed and how they can manage their properties and the environment. We don't want to lose the momentum we have developed through the previous outreach programs. Scope of the Program The primary objective of this proposal is to educate the public about the threats associated with noxious weed and invasive plants, provide the tools necessary to identify harmful vegetation, and increase individual and collective knowledge, capability, and motivation that can be applied toward removal, control and prevention of the spread of harmful plants to minimize ongoing ecological damage occurring along waterways, upland drainage areas and restoration of native plants and ecological systems. Weed/vegetation education will be provided to the public by giving talks, lectures and power point presentations. Brochures will be available as well as visual noxious weed posters, films and other electronic media. Example of past educational outreach deliverables: Deschutes County Fair Weed Wagon Exhibit four days attendance of 240,000. Central Oregon Home and Garden Show 3 days with attendance of 12,000 people Television, Good Morning Central Oregon 4 shows, 15,000 viewers. Good Morning Central Oregon 4 interview viewed by 15,000 people Oregon State Fair one day attendance Neighborhood Association presentations and weed pulls attended by 600 people SWCD meeting 8 and field workshops 4 with attendance 220 people Agriculture, Schools and Natural Resource events 950 people Lets Pull Together and War On Weeds event reach 2,000 to 3,000 people. Weed Brochures distributed 3,000 to 4,000 per year. Rural Living Hand Books with weed information has been distributed to 7,000 landowners. Partners Education and outreach will be provided to all private and public landowners in the Deschutes Basin and throughout Oregon. Deschutes County's vegetation program has partnered with Crook, Jefferson, Jackson, Klamath and Marion Counties; US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management; Bonneville Power Administration; Oregon Department of Agriculture; Oregon State Parks; US Fish and Wildlife; Oregon Fish and Wildlife; Deschutes Soil and Water Conservation District; Oregon Department of Transportation; Upper Deschutes Watershed Council; numerous homeowners associations; elementary and high schools; and many nonprofit organizations. While it is not possible to assign a monetary value to each of these partners they all contribute some form of matching, in-kind, or cash funds.
