Before the Board were Additions to the Agenda. Commissioner Unger said that the Board met yesterday with the Judges at a regular meeting. They discussed the new District Attorney, and indicated they want him and his department to be successful, and hope that he complies with the policies, procedures and financial requirements of the County. Chair Baney stated they talked about developing a facilities plan for the long- term, since the Courts and District Attorney are in need of more space. She would like to have the Board visit their offices and introduce themselves to staff and others. __________________________ Commissioner Unger said that he and others were confused by the Deschutes Soil and Water Board showing up at a work session, expecting to be a part of the meeting. There evidently was some confusion due to the involvement of one member of their District. Commissioner Unger would like to sit down with the various entities such as this one and find out what they are doing, what their needs are, and so on. Mr. Kanner said there are 96 taxing districts in the County, but a list could be reviewed to determine if a meeting might be beneficial. Commissioner Unger feels some opportunities might be being missed otherwise. __________________________ Chair Baney said that a meeting with economist Bill Watkins should include a conversation about budgeting and forecasting. He is a speaker at the Economic Forecast event this week, and has offered services and guidance if the Board wants it for the budgeting process. She said that the County has gotten some criticism for not doing more towards economic development in the area, and perhaps can get some ideas from him. The County is already doing some components. Commissioner DeBone stated that the world has changed over the past few years. The times are very dynamic and the County needs to be more flexible and proactive. Chair Baney said that the focus has been Deschutes County, but ideas on partnering within the County and in the region should be investigated. She wondered how to link more with the cities since that is where the infrastructure for economic development should be directed.
