The joint meeting of the Sisters City Council and Deschutes County Commissioners was called to
order at 6:06 p.m. by Mayor Frye and Commissioner Unger. Introductions were made and Mayor

B. Sisters Economic Development Manager Sustainabilitv Plan and Funding
Economic Development of Central Oregon (EDCO) Executive Director Roger Lee began with
a Powerpoint presentation to provide an overview of the economic development program in
Sisters as well as in the region. He explained the program in Sisters was based on the same
concept used in Redmond, Prineville and Madras with efforts focused on traded -sector business
development. Sisters Economic Development Manager Caprielle Foote -Lewis provided a
summary of the expectation for the program in Sisters and provided a progress report on those
expectation.
Commissioner Unger noted Sisters was a partner of the Greater Redmond Enterprise Zone and
questioned if any business had taken advantage of those incentives yet. Ms. Foote -Lewis replied
five companies had taken advantage of the enterprise zone incentives and she was expecting
another three to participate within the next year.
Mayor Frye stated the City had recently taken steps to promote economic development in Sisters
by expanding Ms. Foote -Lewis' position to full time, introducing a forgivable loan program and
would soon be investing additional funds in the Chamber of Commerce by raising the transient
room tax percentage paid to the Chamber to 50% for marketing and tourism needs. He added
transient room occupancy was also on the rise so there was more revenue.

Commissioner Unger noted in most communities EDCO only handled traded -sector and noted
allowing Ms. Foote -Lewis to participate with commercial businesses was of great benefit. Mayor
Frye voiced thanks to Deschutes County for its continued financial support of the economic
development program in Sisters and stated he hoped the City would continue to receive that
support. Deschutes County Administrator Tom Anderson stated funding for the program came
from the lottery allocations Deschutes County received from the state and he was not expecting
any additional funds and might even receive less than in previous years. He reported EDCO had
not submitted a funding request to Deschutes County yet and the Commissioner would be
presented with options during its budget session which should be completed by the end of May.
Commissioner Baney advised the County was only able to commit funding for the program on a
year to year basis.
C. Sisters Economic Vitality Summit
Ms. Foote -Lewis distributed a handout on the upcoming May 9th economic vitality summit which
would focus on building community. She invited everyone to attend.
D. Deschutes County Centennial Celebration
Commissioner DeBone stated November 2016 would be the centennial for Deschutes County.
Deschutes County Public Information Officer Anna Johnson announced a committee had been
created with members representing the entire county. She stated events being considered included
historical presentations at McMenamins Pub, a progressive historical theatrical production at
Deschutes County Historical Museum, a photo/essay contest for youth and some type of
participation at a Bend Elks ballgame. Commissioner DeBone stated he hoped to bring people
together to learn the history of Deschutes County.
E. Schedule Future Meetings
The Council and Commission members discussed future meetings and determined both evening
and morning meetings were acceptable and should be scheduled according to the availability of
participants.
F. Other Business
Mayor Frye stated it was his understanding the County was receiving some additional public
safety funding from the state and requested help to offset the cost of some additional traffic
feedback signs for Sisters. The Commissioners suggested sending in a formal request as an
official decision had not been made the designation of the funds.
Commissioner Unger stated he wanted to update the Council on the status of the Black Butte
Ranch to Sisters trail. He stated there had been local discussions and he had met with Oregon
Solutions. He stated the goal was to bring the three communities of Black Butte Ranch, Tollgate
and Sisters together to find a solution.
