MINUTES OF WORK SESSION
DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MONDAY, JUNE 23, 2014
___________________________
Present were Commissioners Tammy Baney, Anthony DeBone and Alan Unger.
Also present were Tom Anderson, County Administrator; Erik Kropp, Deputy
County Administrator; and, for a portion of the meeting, Judith Ure,
Administration; Wayne Lowry, Finance; Jane Smilie, Health Services; Anna
Johnson, Communications; and Dave Doyle and Laurie Craghead, County
Counsel. No representatives of the media were present.
Chair Baney opened the meeting at 1:30 p.m.
___________________________
1. Approval of Grant Application Request – Health Services.
Jane Smilie gave an explanation of the request, which relates to integrating
public health and primary care, epidemiology and communications. This work
would be in conjunction with the Oregon Health Authority.
Chair Baney stated that health services are in flux at this time; they should have
more clarity by October from the legislature, at which time the County will
know what is expected and what other services should be pursued. Not every
County can afford or needs an epidemiologist, and she asked if those services
could be regional. Ms. Smilie said they are looking at these kinds of things
regionally.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Work Session Monday, June 23, 2014
Page 2 of 8 Pages
Chair Baney stated that she is not in favor of a communications person. She
feels it is better if driven from the top. They have not had good luck in the past
getting into these situations on other issues. Ms. Smilie feels there are many
ways to communicate, and those can be in person or electronically. She would
like to test these and find out what is working and what isn’t. She does not
want to miss this opportunity.
Chair Baney is hesitant about bringing on new staff. She supports the
epidemiologist but not the communications person. Judith Ure said during the
planning process, if the grant is received, is when you clarify the need. Ms.
Smilie feels this is a position to take technical information and make it useable,
and less on outside communications. She would like some of this evaluation be
around the behavioral health side.
Chair Baney wants this to be a community conversation and not alienate any of
the partners. Mr. Anderson asked that some issues be clarified and the
application brought back within a couple of weeks for further review.
2. Discretionary Grant Requests.
MountainStar Relief Nursery Fundraiser ($620)
The Board agreed to share the cost evenly.
Saving Grace Fundraiser ($1,500)
Ms. Ure said this event already took place, but the funds are still needed.
Chair Baney said the match to this grant is $20,000. The Commissioners
were supportive.
Commissioner Unger noted that the Boys & Girls Club is dividing into two
groups; one in Bend and one in Redmond/Terrebonne. He wondered how
allotments should be handled. Ms. Ure said this group did not get a community
grant and is not a service partner. It is unclear if they will have separate
nonprofit filing numbers. They will have to apply in the usual manner.
3. Finance/Tax Update.
In regard to the investment report, Wayne Lowry said they are at $140 million
or higher, more than this time last year. Most has performed better than usual.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Work Session Monday, June 23, 2014
Page 3 of 8 Pages
Some investments can be called back (about $28 million), so there is a strategy
involved in how these are handled. The current yield went up by a couple of
basis points, so interest earnings are up.
Chair Baney asked where the interest earnings go. Mr. Lowry said they go
back to funds based on the percentages.
Mr. Anderson said that per statute, he has to resign as Treasurer so they can
appoint Mr. Lowry.
Mr. Lowry said that there are 57 unfilled County positions, with the majority in
Health, Behavioral Health and the Sheriff’s Office.
The ending balance for General Fund is up based on property tax revenue.
Clerk fees are finally up again. The Sheriff’s Office fund variance continues to
climb positively. Public Health revenue is up $240,000. Community
Development is doing well. The Road fund is doing well, and the last gas tax
payment was higher than anticipated.
Also, the PILT payment has been received and will be distributed in July, and
was more than expected. How this is allocated needs to be discussed in July.
Commissioner Unger stated the High Desert Museum has asked for help with a
project in lands adjacent to their facility. Chair Baney stated that perhaps they
could partner with COCC in the same way they handled the County’s lands in
Fremont Canyon in the past.
Commissioner Unger would like to see them work on reserves for the Road
Department. Chair Baney said that if there are extenuating circumstances ,
small projects can have a shortened environmental process, per the Governor’s
Office.
Mr. Anderson suggested a variety of projects or funds might be involved, and
he will follow up with the Commissioners individually.
Health Benefits Trust fund expenses seem to be under control, per Mr. Lowry.
Justice Court has increased its projection above budget for revenue. The jail
project is winding down with some costs in next year’s budget. Work is going
well on the Sisters Health Clinic.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Work Session Monday, June 23, 2014
Page 4 of 8 Pages
There is a new folder in the bill bag for capital expenses, for the Board and Mr.
Anderson to review. Mr. Anderson said that any high expense maintenance
expenses should also be included, such as the new boiler at the Road
Department.
Chair Baney asked if the Board’s travel report could be handled differently,
perhaps quarterly or less often.
4. Discussion of Adoption of Ordinance No. 2014-018, Re-adoption of the Sign
Code.
Laurie Craghead explained this is housekeeping, to make sure this is clear. She
wants to be sure the Board adopted what was thought to be the appropriate
document in 2003. One will adopt the 2003 version, and the current version
that clarifies what is already in place. If the Board wants changes, there has to
be a complete public process at that time.
Mr. Anderson asked about the second sign for drive-up establishments. Ms.
Craghead said this is based on the 2009 ordinance. She asked for an emergency
clause since there are no active issues, and it should be clarified as soon as
possible. Commissioner DeBone does not feel it merits emergency status.
Chair Baney indicated it appears it should be drafted not as an emergency.
5. Discussion of Adoption of Ordinance No. 2014-015, Amending Code
regarding Events, Parades, Funeral Processions and Outdoor Mass
Gatherings.
Ms. Craghead stated that the Board asked for changes. This has been reviewed
by various County departments. The chart shows a gap in current Code for
certain sizes of events. One big change is the 240-hour timeframe for outdoor
mass gatherings, put into place basically for the Family Motor Coach
Association conference. She feels that if there is a challenge, the County would
lose. It will not affect events that do not take place on a single property.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Work Session Monday, June 23, 2014
Page 5 of 8 Pages
She suggested going back to the 120 hours. At that point, it would be a land use
decision. Chair Baney wants to be sure the FMCA would not have a problem
with this. Mr. Anderson stated that he does not think anyone else is interested
in this specific issue.
Ms. Craghead said they have expanded this into four different types of events.
Some are stationary while others are not. There was confusion in the past
regarding event permits and how often they can be held. This needs to comply
with Statute. A trigger is commercial activity. Mr. Kropp said that the County
would put this in the event permit documents and coordinate more with
Community Development. The main change is separating out the bike events
from those events that are held on a single property.
Chair Baney asked how other counties do this. Ms. Craghead stated that most
have nothing in place and depend on Statute. Statute does not break out events
from mass gatherings. Deschutes County made the choice to split these out.
The idea is to avoid land use type decisions and greatly increased costs. Chair
Baney asked about timing and the fact this is not up for discussion, since it is to
clean up the Code. Ms. Craighead said that this just changes it to fall in line
with statute.
Page 7 of 16, Mr. Kropp said that this has to do with someone wanting to hold
another event but has been in trouble with previous events. Also, vehicles that
are not properly parked are an issue.
On page 4, Ms. Craghead stated that if under statutory regulations, the statute
limits insurance to $1 million. Code does not clarify if it is for the entire event.
Risk Management does this based on Oregon tort claim limits, but this number
changes annually. Each needs to be reviewed on an individual basis.
Ms. Craghead that the Sheriff reviews the public safety plans but do not want to
review traffic issues. That would be done by Community Development. In
addition, the decibel requirements have been eliminated since the Sheriff’s
Office feels these are cumbersome. The Oregon Department of Environmental
Quality regulations are more restrictive. This would have the noise cut-off time
be 10 p.m. The only limitation in the noise ordinance has to do with
construction.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Work Session Monday, June 23, 2014
Page 6 of 8 Pages
Chair Baney feels this is a lot of change to mirror Statute. The Board asked that
this be clarified further and discussed at a later date.
6. Discussion of Local Workforce Investment Area Boundaries.
Commissioner Unger said the Governor has asked for this to be clarified. There
are seven workforce boards in the State. The consortiu m was developed to
cover the rest of the State. The last legislature felt the Oregon Workforce Board
would have jurisdiction and funding, so they are looking at how to structure
these Boards into being more localized.
They are looking at four areas. The County Commissioners are to engage and
make positive change. Funds are allocated by population, which is why the areas
have to be big. The other, smaller counties could not function on their own.
They would take the central area and create a workforce board, with smaller
groups advising them on the smaller, local issues. This requires a resolution. It
needs to be done before the next meeting on July 10.
Some counties do not know which group they want to join. The Community
Colleges are also involved. Commissioner Unger does not see a down side.
The groups are privately funded but the counties bring information and
coordination. If not spent properly, federal funds might have to be repaid, but
this has not happened except once in ten years. The nine counties’
representatives have met and want to move forward.
The Commissioners are supportive.
7. Other Items.
Mr. Kropp said there is a reception on Thursday morning for the 9-1-1
candidates. A few have dropped off.
___________________________
Commissioner Unger will not be available for meetings the afternoon of July 7.
Mr. Anderson said that the morning meeting will include the La Pine Urban
Renewal proposal as well as the Newland decision.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Work Session Monday, June 23, 2014
Page 7 of 8 Pages
Commissioner DeBone said there are a few people opposing the urban renewal
district proposal, but he feels that most people would be supportive if they have
all the facts. Mr. Anderson said the only part the County is involved in is the
rodeo grounds. The rest is within the City. Dave Doyle said that he does n ot
think that there is a requirement for public input.
Chair Baney wants to be sure the residents understand that the County’s role is
only the rodeo grounds property. Mr. Anderson stated that citizens and
businesses within the City are generally suppo rtive, and the fire district
representatives think that this is going to take away their funds. Commissioner
Unger stated that this will help with infrastructure, hydrants and other
improvements, that will help the Fire District do its job.
Commissioners Baney and DeBone prefer that the City approve its portion of
the urban renewal district, conditioned upon the County’s approval of its part.
___________________________
Regarding Cascades Academy, Chair Baney said that the Latham Mine owners
are purportedly mining the headwall. Mr. Anderson stated there has been a
complaint to Community Development and it is being handled.
___________________________
Chair Baney would like to see a work session in advance of the Thornburgh
deliberations.
___________________________
Dave Doyle said if the Commissioners receive citizen requests for information
or answers, they are encouraged to have Counsel or the department handle it.
___________________________
Regarding the joint Redmond City Council meeting on July 8, Mr. Anderson
asked if the Board had agenda items. He and Mr. Kropp will be out of the
office. The Commissioners felt that if there are no pressing issues, there is no
reason to meet.
___________________________
Nothing has been submitted yet for the Sisters joint meeting of July 3, so it will
likely be canceled as well. The Board will be at the State of the City Chamber
of Commerce event on July 1 and would be happy to speak informally with any
Councilors in attendance.
___________________________
Regarding the employee lunch at the Annual Fair, attendance has been lower
each year. Mr. Anderson asked if the County should pursue this further. They
are discussing other options to recognize employees. One idea is to make this
free and not charge the employees for the Fair, lunch and concert, to see if this
shows improvement. The cost would be $18 per person. Chair Baney is
concerned about the overall costs, and how the media might view this expense.
Mr. Anderson said this is to thank employees. Commissioner Unger feels they
should pay for hard costs.
Being no further items discussed, the meeting adjourned at 4:20 p.m.
DATED this 3-D I!; Day of ~ 2014 for the

RWJF Public Health Services and Systems Research Initiative
$350,000 total for two years
Grant application due date is July 23, 2014
Deschutes County Health Services (DCHS) requests permission to submit a grant
proposal in response to a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Request for Proposals to
conduct health systems research.
This grant funding would allow DCHS to advance health-related county goals and
objectives, as well as those outlined in the Central Oregon Health Improvement Plan
2012-2015 and the Deschutes County Health Services Strategic Plan 2012-2015. In
addition, it would allow DCHS to address a deficiency identified by the Public Health
Accreditation Board Site Visit Team. The team wrote, "It would be beneficial to dedicate
more resources to research, data analysis and evaluation. Without that, it is hard to
defend your programs and to know you are making a difference."
The purpose of the project entitled, "Epidemiology for Action: Integrating Primary Care
and Public Health" is to test methods of providing epidemiologic data and effective
communications to healthcare providers in the tri-county region to support disease
control and prevention efforts.
Epidemiology, the basic science of public health, is the study of the distribution and
determinants of disease. The healthcare system relies on public health agencies to
monitor conditions of public health importance and provide timely, accurate and reliable
data, as well as recommendations for prevention and control efforts. In addition,
providers need support in effective communication methods and materials for use with
patients. Content areas for data support and health communications will include
communicable disease, chronic disease and behavioral health.
An epidemiologist and a health communications specialist would be hired to implement
the project. Two researchers with Oregon Public Health Division will provide in-kind
research design and evaluation services.
This grant will afford Deschutes County Health Services the opportunity to:
• improve our use of data to guide disease control and prevention measures,
• better communicate, including with the use of data, with primary care providers,
• more effectively integrate the critical work of public health and primary care, and
• and, evaluate our efforts in these three areas.

essential structural supports. Where a sign is of three-dimensional shape, the largest cross-section
shall be used in a flat projection for the purpose of determining sign area. Where open area is
employed between sections, modules, characters or words forming the display surface, sign area
shall be the smallest outline which encloses the entire group. For a two-faced sign with sign faces
Chapter 15.08 15 (04/2003)
Page 15 of 19 – EXHIBIT A TO ORDINANCE 2014-018
parallel and not more than three feet apart, only one face is measured for determining sign area. For
a V-type sign with not more than three feet between display surfaces at the farthest point, only one
face is measured for determining sign area.
2. Clearance. Clearance of a sign is measured from the average grade at the base of the sign to the
lowest point of the sign.
3. Height. Height is measured from the average level of the existing grade at the base of the sign to
the highest point of the sign.
B. Area of Front Building Facade. When the area of the front building facade is used to determine sign
area, such area shall be computed by multiplying the width of the building frontage or portion thereof
by the height of the building or portion thereof which is devoted to the particular business. False fronts
and mansard roofs may be included when calculating the area of the building facade.

be galvanized. Secondary members, when formed integrally with the display surface, shall not be
less than No. 24 thickness. When not formed integrally with the display surface, the minimum
thickness of the secondary members shall be No. 12 gauge. Minimum thickness of hot-rolled steel
members furnishing structural support for signs shall be one-fourth inch except that if galvanized,
such members shall not be less than one-eighth inch thick. Steel pipes shall be of such quality as to
conform with the Uniform Building Code Standard. Steel members may be connected with one
galvanized bolt provided the connection is adequate to transfer the stresses in the members.
2. Wood anchors and supports, when embedded in the soil, shall be pressure-treated with an approved
preservative. Such members shall be marked and branded by an approved agency recognized by
the Uniform Building Code.
3. Nonstructural trims, signs under marquees and portable display surfaces may be of wood, metal,
approved plastics or any combination thereof.
4. Display surface may be of any approved material except glass. Glass may be used in any neon
tubing and incandescent lamp and tube.

compliance with DCC 15.08:
Chapter 15.08 15 (07/2014)
Page 15 of 19 – EXHIBIT B TO ORDINANCE 2014-018
1. Area or Sign Area. The area of a sign shall be measured within lines drawn between the outermost
edges of a sign including nonstructural trim, facing, announcement and display, but exclusive of
essential structural supports. Where a sign is of three-dimensional shape, the largest cross-section
shall be used in a flat projection for the purpose of determining sign area. Where open area is
employed between sections, modules, characters or words forming the display surface, sign area
shall be the smallest outline which encloses the entire group. For a two-faced sign with sign faces
parallel and not more than three feet apart, only one face is measured for determining sign area. For
a V-type sign with not more than three feet between display surfaces at the farthest point, only one
face is measured for determining sign area.
2. Clearance. Clearance of a sign is measured from the average grade at the base of the sign to the
lowest point of the sign.
3. Height. Height is measured from the average level of the existing grade at the base of the sign to
the highest point of the sign.
B. Area of Front Building Facade. When the area of the front building facade is used to determine sign
area, such area shall be computed by multiplying the width of the building frontage or portion thereof
by the height of the building or portion thereof which is devoted to the particular business. False fronts
and mansard roofs may be included when calculating the area of the building facade.
(Ord. 2014-018, §2, 2014; Ord. 95-063 §1, 1995; Ord. 81-009 §1, Exhibit A, §1.060, 1981)
15.08.380. Permitted Materials.
A. Materials for construction of signs and sign structures shall be the quality and grade as specified for
buildings in the state adopted building code.
B. In all sign and sign structures, the material and details of construction shall, in the absence of specified
requirements, conform to the following:
1. Structural steel shall be of such quality as to conform with the state adopted building code standard.
Secondary members in contact with or directly supporting the display surface may be forged of
light gauge steel, provided such members are designed in accordance with the specifications of the
design of light gauge steel as specified in the state adopted building code standard and in addition
shall be galvanized. Secondary members, when formed integrally with the display surface, shall not
be less than No. 24 thickness. When not formed integrally with the display surface, the minimum
thickness of the secondary members shall be No. 12 gauge. Minimum thickness of hot-rolled steel
members furnishing structural support for signs shall be one-fourth inch except that if galvanized,
such members shall not be less than one-eighth inch thick. Steel pipes shall be of such quality as to
conform with the state adopted building code standard. Steel members may be connected with one
galvanized bolt provided the connection is adequate to transfer the stresses in the members.
2. Wood anchors and supports, when embedded in the soil, shall be pressure-treated with an approved
preservative. Such members shall be marked and branded by an approved agency recognized by
the state adopted building code.
3. Nonstructural trims, signs under marquees and portable display surfaces may be of wood, metal,
approved plastics or any combination thereof.
4. Display surface may be of any approved material except glass. Glass may be used in any neon
tubing and incandescent lamp and tube.
5. The Planning Director may require that sufficient technical data be submitted to substantiate the
proposed use of any plastic material and, if it is determined that the evidence submitted is
satisfactory for the use intended, he may approve its use.
6. No combustible material other than approved plastics shall be used in the construction of any
electric sign.
7. Wood may be used in signs subject to the requirements of the County's building and fire codes.

15.08.410. Design.
A. All bracing systems shall be designed and constructed to transfer lateral forces to the foundations. For
signs on buildings, the dead and lateral loads shall be transmitted through the structural frame of the
building to the ground in such a manner as not to over stress any of the elements thereof.
B. The overturning moment produced from lateral forces shall in no case exceed two-thirds of the
dead-load resisting moment. Uplift due to overturning shall be adequately resisted by proper anchorage
to the ground or to the structural frame of the building. The weight of earth superimposed over footings
may be used in determining the dead-load resisting moment. Such earth shall be carefully placed and
thoroughly compacted.
(Ord. 2014-018, §2, 2014; Ord. 95-063 §1, 1995; Ord. 81-009 §1, Exhibit A, §1.352, 1981)

15.08.460. Anchorage and Supports.
A. Members supporting unbraced signs shall be so proportioned that the bearing loads imposed on the soil
in either direction, horizontal or vertical, shall not exceed safe values. Braced ground signs shall be
anchored to resist the specified wind or seismic load acting in any direction. Anchors and supports shall
be designed for safe bearing loads on the soil and for an effective resistance to pull-out amounting to a
force of 25 percent greater than the required resistance to overturning. Anchors and supports shall
penetrate to a depth below ground greater than the frost line.
B. Signs attached to masonry, concrete or steel shall be safely and securely fastened thereto by means of
metal anchors, bolts or approved expansion screws of sufficient size and anchorage to support safely the
loads applied.

A. The request is not contrary to the public interest or the intent and purpose of DCC 15.08 and particularly
the zone involved.
B. The variance will not cause a substantial adverse effect upon property values or environmental
conditions in the immediate vicinity or in the zone in which the property of the applicant is located.
C. The variance relates only to property that is under control of the applicant.
D. Circumstances or conditions for which the variance is requested shall not have resulted from any act of
the applicant, or his or her predecessors or agents, subsequent to the adoption of the particular zoning
regulations from which relief is sought, and thereby be used as justification of issuance of a variance.
E. The request is the minimum variance necessary to alleviate the hardships or practical difficulties.
F. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or physical conditions such as narrowness,
shallowness, shape or topography of the property that do not generally apply to either properties or uses
in the same zoning district.
G. The variance is necessary for the preservation of a substantial property right possessed by other
properties in the same zoning district and where such variation would result in comparatively trivial
detriment to the neighborhood, and such variation of DCC 15.08 is clearly outweighed by benefits to the
neighborhood or to the public safety, convenience or general welfare.

Re: Local Workforce Investment Area Boundaries
Commissioner Alan Unger serves on the Oregon Workforce Investment Board (OWl B). OWIB is
the overall advisory board to the Governor on workforce matters and is made up of leaders
representing private sector businesses, labor, state, local governments, and government agencies.
To carry out the work ofOWlB, the State of Oregon is divided up into Local Workforce
Investment Areas (L WIA).
Commissioner Unger also represents Deschutes County on the Oregon Consortium, the Local
Workfoce Investment Area that includes Deschutes County. The Oregon Consortium includes
twenty-four counties located throughout Central and Eastern Oregon, as well as parts of
Southwest Oregon. Governor Kitzhaber, through Executive Order 13-08, initiated a process to
evaluate the L WlA boundaries. In order to reduce fragmentation and align federal and state
programs to better serve Oregon's job seekers and businesses, OWlB is considering changing the
boundaries for the Local Workfoce Investment Areas.
At the Board of County Commissioner's June 23 rd Work Session, Commissioner Unger would
like to discuss a proposal for Deschutes County to join a new Local Workforce Investment Board
with the following counties: Klamath, Lake, Crook, Jefferson, Wheeler, Wasco, Sherman, Hood
River, and Gilliam.
At the request of Commissioner Unger, staff has drafted a resolution for Deschutes County to
participate in this new Local Workforce Investment Board and file a Local Workforce Investment
Areas designation request with the Governor's Office. This resolution will come before the Board

portion of the proposed area. Due to its proximity to Portland and geography, the northern counties are
more insulated from the rest of the central area with their economic hubs in Hood River and The Dalles .
The central counties of Crook, Deschutes, and Jefferson self-identify with one another as they share
public transportation, a community college system, and a common labor force. Bend and Redmond are
the economic hubs of the central tier of the area . Finally, Klamath and Lake Counties in the south are very
closely tied to one another; however the southern tier maintains a strong economic connection
with the metropolitan counties of Deschutes County to the north and Jackson County to the west.
Deschutes County (Bend MSA) is the lone metropOlitan statistical area east of the Cascades . The county
dominates employment for the area accounting for an average annual employment of 64 ,580 jobs in
2013 while the remaining nine counties combined accounted for 57,515 jobs.
Labor market areas are defined by the federal Office of Management and Budget and the federal Bureau
of Labor Statistics. There are three types of labor market areas: metropolitan (Metro), micropolitan
(Micro), or small (SMLA).
The Central area is consistent with labor market areas to the extent possible. It is a
complete combination of one metro area,four micro areas, and five SMLAs :
Bend, OR Metropolitan Statistical Area (Deschutes County)
Hood River, OR Micropolitan Statistical Area (Hood River County)
Klamath Falls , OR Micropolitan Statistical Area (Klamath Falls County)

In December 2011, Governor Kitzhaber asked the Oregon Workforce Investment Board (OWIB) to respond to the
changing economy by transforming the state's workforce development system from one that organizes work
based on programs and federal requirements and funding streams, to one that organizes work based on
community, business and worker needs. In response, the OWIB developed a new strategic plan, Oregon atWork.
The plan built on recent innovations in the workforce system and identified strategies to take it to a new level.
.. ..
Successful implementation of the new strategic plan creates new roles, responsibilities, accountability and
authority for the state and local workforce investment boards. In recognition of this change, Governor Kitzhaber
is developing an Executive Order to re-charter these boards to playa greater role in aligning and innovating
Oregon's workforce system.
Recognizing that workforce solutions are most effective when they are based on community needs, and that the
best way to develop these solutions is to create strong private/public partnerships to respond to local labor
markets, Governor Kitzhaber's Executive Order requires:
Recognition of the OWIB and Local Workforce Investment Boards as conveners of private/public partnerships
that engage more partners and resources, develop a strong understanding of the local labor markets, and
implement workforce solutions that communities need.
All Local Workforce Investment Boards to transform from direct service providers Into neutral, independent
brokers of services, designers of innovation, and evaluators of outcomes .
OWIB and state agencies involved in the workforce system to fund the new functions of the boards and
increase state level alignment and integration of workforce programs.
Publicly funded workforce programs and Regional Solutions Teams to work with the state and local
workforce investment boards to avoid unnecessary duplications and help implement locally based
workforce solutions.
OWIB and the Oregon Education Investment Board to identify how they will work together to achieve
common outcomes across the education and workforce systems.
..
The Executive Order will be issued in July 2013.
OWIB and state agencies are working to finalize strategy to better align systems and resources to support a
more integrated workforce system and the re-chartered workforce boards by the 2014 legislative session.
At the same time a formal process for the re-chartering of boards will be developed by early December 2014.
The four local workforce investment boards that currently deliver services will have to comply with the
separation of governance from service delivery structures by June 30, 2015.

In December 2011, Governor Kitzhaber initiated a transformation of Oregon's workforce system to respond to a
changing economy. He called upon the workforce system to expand innovation, eliminate fragmentation and
provide more resources and authority for local communities to develop workforce solutions that achieve a
common set of goals :
• Oregonians with the skills needed to fill current and emerging
hlgh-~ge,hIgh -demand Jobs.
• BUsinesses with th e skilled workforce to support future growth.
• An aligned wor~o rce system that provIdes Integrated services and
makes the most effic1ent possIble use of resources.
In June 2012, the Oregon Workforce Investment Board, (OWIB) adopted a 1 O-year plan, Oregon at Work, that
built on recent innovations in the workforce system to achieve the Governor's goals. The plan Identified strate
gies to transform Oregon's workforce system to better integrate and align programs, services, budgeting and
decision making at the state and local level.
. .
Fundamentally, this change is about delivering better results for more people, more effectively, in a time of
diminished resources . We -as state and local leaders -must create the vibrant economic environment that
supports growth and vitality in all of our communities, and ensure all Oregonians -especially our most
vulnerable and under-served citizens -have the support and access needed to enter a path to economic
stability. Governor Kitzhaber has made clear that doing this requires state government to think differently,
act differently, and work differently.
Changes to the workforce system will allow:
The creation of new products, services and strategies for a dynamic client base .
State and local workforce boards to better align workforce and education investments with economic
development in the service of local communities.
Local workforce boards to act as independent, neutral brokers of those services that deliver the best results for job
seekers and businesses.
The WorkSource service integration model to expand and increase access to innovative programs that result in
market-relevant credentials, good jobs and a growing economy.
State and local administrative structures to operate as an efficient and effective system that's locally delivered and
outcome based.
The transition analysis and planning for Oregon's workforce system is based on cor,e guiding principles:
• A workforce system designed to meet state and local labor market needs is critical to support the state's job
creation, business retention and economic development goals.
Workforce services are critical to helping more Oregonians enter into and progress in jobs that provide the
wages and benefits necessary to support families.
An effective workforce system is built on strong private/public partnerships.
Oregon's workforce system will gain prominence by taking a pivotal role within the larger framework of job
creation and educational attainment and not solely the jurisdiction or concern of a distinct agency or program.
• Greater numbers of Oregonians can be more effectively served if all possible resources flow to local
communities, and state government's role is concentrated on setting broad policy, establishing desired
outcomes and metrics, and providing efficient functional services at the state and local level.
Streamlining and reduction of redundancy will yield better outcomes and more accountability.
The resulting system will incorporate new models of decision-making and oversight to strengthen the ties
with policy goals across state government.
• The research and analysis to develop this future state will be done with integrity without preconceived solutions.
The Governor's Office, Department of Administrative Services and Oregon's workforce agencies have engaged an
outside team of experts with organizational redesign, and business process experience to analyze and make
recommendations on the structural and process changes needed.
A project plan to better integrate and align the workforce system is currently being designed. Opportunities for
employee and stakeholder input throughout the process will ensure broad perspectives to inform the ultimate
recommendations. As insights and recommendations begin to surface, they will be shared clearly and systematically
so all stakeholders have the opportunity to give feedback.
The project plan consists of two tracks:
1. Developing a process for the re-chartering of the state and local workforce investment boards.
2. Developing a recommendation for the state infrastructure to support implementation at the local level.
Recommendations to increase alignment, expand service integration and enhance the ability of the workforce system
to respond to local needs will be developed by December 31,2013. Recommendations requiring legislative approval
will be presented to the State Legislature in February 2014. if approved, full implementation of the recommendations
would likely begin in July 2015. Until such time, staff, partners, businesses, citizens and communities can count on
continued operations of the programs and services currently administered by Oregon's workforce system.

John A. Kitzhaber, MD
Governor
MEMORANDUM
Date: March 3, 2014
To: Local Workforce Investment Board Chairs, Directors and Chief Elected Officials
From: Agnes Balassa, Workforce Policy Advisor, Office of Governor John Kitzhaber
Re: Local Workforce Investment Area redistricting
This memorandum is in follow up to a letter from Governor Kitzhaber on the topic of Local Workforce
Investment Area redistricting which you should have received by email earlier today. A hard copy is also
in the mail.
Some of you are probably wondering why the Governor has initiated a discussion about Oregon's local
workforce investment area boundaries. The reason is that our economy is changing, creating the need for
new approaches to helping people get, keep and progress in jobs throughout the state. Oregon's approach
to economic development is changing from a focus on fixed, place based assets and incentives to a focus
on the skills of our workforce. We'd like aU parts of the state to be better positioned to help grow local
jobs.
At the same time, federal resources for workforce development have declined and are likely to continue to
do so into the future . To achieve our goals for a strong economy we need to focus more intentionally on
leveraging our resources to meet the needs of local communities. By better aligning our workforce area
boundaries with our economic deVelopment strategies, including regional solutions, we can create greater
leverage for the growth of a new economy. This is especially true in our more rural parts of the state.
Local Workforce Investment Boards are critical to creating this alignment. However, our current
boundaries are not well aligned in all parts of the state to achieve these goals.
This memorandum and attached materials describe the process for redistricting local workforce
investment area boundaries, and include an invitation for a statewide video conference to discuss next
steps .
The Department of Community Colleges and Workforce Development has provided an analysis of state
and federal rules and regulations related to this topic, which is attached . The following process was
developed based on their input.
It is the intent of the federal law and of the Governor that this process be a collaborative and
voluntary one among the state and local workforce investment boards, Local Chief Elected Officials
Page 2 of 3
(CEO's), and the Governor. While only the Governor may (re)designate local workforce investment areas,
the support of Local CEOs is necessary for boundary changes to take place.
CEOs in any local workforce investment area, a state workforce investment board, or a governor may
propose a local workforce investment area redesignation. The Governor's letter you received, dated
March 3,2014, invites local workforce investment boards (LWIBs) and the CEO's who serve on these
boards to enter into a discussion about local workforce investment area boundaries. L WIB members and
county elected officials should be included in these discussions. Requests for redesignation should use the
following process:
• A redesignation request is initiated by filing the attached form with the Governor's Workforce Policy
Advisor. Any of the following may submit a redesignation request: CEOs, LWIBs with CEO support,
the Governor or the State Workforce Investment Board. Requests will be processed as they are
received in order to allow sufficient time for development of new boundary proposals. All requests
for redesignation must be filed by April 15, 2014'.
• The Governor's Office will notify an L WIB of the receipt of any requests for redesignation of
boundaries within 5 days of receipt and initiate a process for discussion of possible new boundaries.
• The Governor will host a statewide video conference in early April to discuss both the process and any
concerns or questions raised by local areas. More information will be forwarded as soon as it is
available .
• In compliance with federal and state guidelines, the Governor will consider boundaries that are
consistent with local labor markets and the service areas of local educational and other workforce
partners and reflect regional and labor market economies of scale. Examples of "regional and labor
market economics of scale" include Economic Development Districts and Regional Solutions area
boundaries.
• Requests consistent with the criteria above will be forwarded to the Oregon Workforce Investment
Board (OWIB) by June 1, 2014 for consideration at the Board's June 13,2014 meeting. In
recommending approval of new boundaries, OWIB must consider:
o Geographic areas served by local education agencies and intermediate educational agencies.
o Geographic areas served by post-secondary educational institutions and area vocational
education schools.
o The extent to which local areas are consistent with labor market areas.
o The distance that individuais will need to travel to receive services provided in such local
areas.
o The resources of such local areas that are available to effectively administer the activities
carried out under subtitle IB of the Workforce Investment Act.
o Whether there is compelling evidence that a redesignation would:
• Better meet any criteria established by OWIB in its strategic plan;
• Be more effective or efficient; and
• Produce better performance results for customers
• If the OWIB determines the request(s) meet(s) the criteria and there is compelling evidence that a local
area(s) should be redesignated, the Governor may approve the redesignation request and recognize the
Page 3 of 3
resulting new configuration oflocal area(s). It is the Governor's intent to approve any new boundaries
by July 1,2014. Federal law allows until October 1 for the identification of new boundaries, however,
that would not allow sufficient time for completion of administrative work necessary for boundary
changes and to prepare L WlBs to be chartered in time for the July 1, 2015 start of the new fiscal year.
• The OWIB and Local Workforce Investment Boards must provide public notice for any regular,
special or emergency meeting where (re)designation will be discussed . These meetings may take place
concurrently with other steps of the redesignation process. The notice must be specific enough to
permit citizens to recognize matters of interest.
• A change in local area(s) designation will also require a modification ofthe State Strategic Plan. Such
modifications are subject to the same public review and comment requirements that apply to the
development of the original State Plan. Any changes to existing local workforce investment areas
designations will be forwarded to the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration
for federal approval/recognition in the form of a new State Plan or State Plan Modification. .
Attached, please find details of the process as well as the form required to initiate a redistricting
request. A comparison of Local Workforce Investment Areas with Regional Solutions Boundaries is
also included for those who are unfamiliar with these two sets of boundaries . Details for a statewide
video conference meeting with the Governor will be forthcoming.
I will be in contact with each local workforce investment board to schedule a time to talk about this
process, answer questions and potentially schedule to attend a future local meeting if this would be
helpful. I can be reached at 503.986.6530 or agnes.balassa@state.or.us if you have questions in the
meanwhile .
Thank you for your consideration.

From: Krissa Caldwell, Deputy Commissioner, CCWD
Re : Local Workforce Investment Area Designation Changes
In response to the Governor's request for information regarding the federal and
state requirements and procedures involved with designating or redesignating Local
Workforce Investment Areas (L WIAs), the Department of Communi ty Co 11 eges
and Workforce Development has prepared the attached document.
State and federal guidance describe several conditions under which L WIAs may be
(re)designated; this letter specifically addresses the process of voluntary
(re)designation. In Oregon, the state workforce investment board is known as the
Oregon Workforce Investment Board (OWIB).
In summary:
• The Chief Elected Official(s) (CEOs) of any local area, the state workforce
investment board, or the governor may propose a local area redesignation by
following the attached process. Proposals may be initiated at any time, but
specific time lines may affect the request and redesignation process.
• Only the Governor may (re)designate local workforce investment areas.
• Voluntary redesignation of a workforce investment area is expected to be a
collaborative process between the state workforce investment board, the
Governor, and local CEOs.
The L WlA designation process must include the following steps:
• A proposal/request form submitted to the Governor's Workforce Policy
Advisor;
• Consultation with the state workforce investment board and chief elected
officials (CEOs);
• A public comment period, including consideration of comments received
If approved by the Governor, a change in L WIA designation must:
• Be included in the State Strategic Plan (or submitted as a Plan Modification)
• Be subinitted to the US Department of Labor (DOL)/Emplo)rment and f'raining
Administration (ETA)
References:
Federal requirements and guidance for the designation and redesignation of L WIAs requirements may be
found primarily in
• The Workforce Investment Act, Section 116
• 20 CFR, Part 661.250 through 661.280
• Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) 37-10, Workforce investment Act (WlA) and
Appropriations Act Provisions on the Designation ofLocal Workforce investment Areas
Oregon's state-level guidance may be found at:
• ORS 660.324, Duties ofstate board; state plan for workforce investment system
• OAR 151-010-0040, Designation of Workforce investment Areas (Designation/ Redesignation)
• OWIB Policy, Workforce investment Area Designation (Amended: March 26, 2004)
A more thorough description of the process and requirements for voluntary (re)designation is included in
Attachment A.
If/as a proposal to any of Oregon's LWIAs moves forward, CCWD will provide additional information
and support, as requested by the Governor, the OWIB, or other stakeholders.
Attachment A
Local Workforce Investment Area Designation
Brief History
The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) includes the requirement that the Governor must designate local
workforce investment areas in order for the State to receive funding under Title I of WIA .
Each time Oregon submits its State Plan to the US Department of Labor/Employment Training
Administration (DOL/ETA), it includes a section identifying the local workforce investment areas
designated in the state, and the process used for des ignating local areas.
According to Oregon's State Plan, local workforce investment areas (LWIAs) were initially designated in
accordance with WIA Section 116(a)(4), Designation on Recommendation of State Board (1999-2000) .
In brief:
• Local Elected Officials brought designation requests before the State Workforce Investment
Board
• The State Workforce Investment Board recommended the designation of areas to the Governor
• The Governor approved the State Workforce Investment Board's recommendations
Only one redesignation has taken place in the intervening time. On July 1, 2004, at the request of local
elected officials, Tillamook County petitioned to be removed from the LWIA serving the Portland
metropolitan area and reinstated with The Oregon Consortium/Oregon Workforce Alliance area, where
it had been prior to the implementation of the WIA.
Any changes to LWIA designations need to be submitted to DOL/ETA in the State Plan, or as a Plan
Modification, according to the guidelines and processes listed below. The (re)designation process can be
initiated by any of several entities, for a variety of reasons/purposes. The following summary focuses on
(re)designation as a voluntary action. [Note: Involuntary designation may result from instances offraud,
abuse, failure to carry out local board functions, or failure to meet performance measures for two
consecutive program years. None of these conditions currently exists in Oregon, and the State is not in a
position to consider involuntary redesignation of its LWIAs at this time.]
What Happens, and How
• A local workforce investment area, specifically a local chief elected official(s) can voluntarily agree
to redesignation.
• The local area, the state workforce investment board (OWIB), or the governor may propose a
local area redesignation.
o A proposal/redesignation request is initiated by filing an approved form with the
Governor's Workforce Policy Advisor.
• The Governor will review the request to ensure it meets the following criteria:
o Is with local markets service areas of local ed and
other workforce partners; and
o Reflects regional and labor m economies
III If the request meets the above the Governor will forward the request to the OWIB to
o Geographic areas served by local education and intermediate educational
agencies.
o hic areas by institutions area
vocational education schools.
o The extent to which local areas are areas.
o The individuals will need to to receive provided in such
local areas.
o resources of local areas are available to effectively administer the
carried out subtitle IB of the Act.
III The OWIB will also whether is compelling evidence a redesignation would:
o Better meet criteria established by the state board;
o more effective or efficient; and
o Produce better performance results for customers
III The and Local Workforce Investment Boards must provide public of the time, place
and for any regular, special or meeting (re)designation will be
discussed.
0 notice must be enough to permit citizens to recognize matters interest.
III If the determines the request meets applicable and is compelling
evidence a local should be may the
redesignation uest and the resulting new configuration of local area{s).
III A in local area designation, or the redesignation local areas, is considered a substantial
ch requires a modification of Strategic Plan.
III State Plan modifications are to the same public review and comment requirements that
apply to the development of the I State Plan; the OWlB must provide an opportunity for
comment on development modification before submitting it to
the Governor.
o to the on which the OWIB submits a plan modification, OWIB shall:
(1) available of a proposed plan modification to the public through such
means as public hearings and local news media;
(2) allow members of board and of the public, including
representatives of business and representatives of labor organizations, to submit
comments on proposed local to the local board, not the end of
30-day period beginning on the date on which the proposed plan modification is made
available; and
(3) include with the plan modification submitted to the Governor any such comments
that represent disagreement with the plan.
• Any changes to existing LWIA designations will be forwarded to DOL/ETA for federal
approval/recognition in the form of a new State Plan or State Plan Modification, along with:
o A description of the process the State used to make the Plan available to the public
and the outcome of the State's review of the resulting public comments.
Additional notes:
• To be timely, requests must be received by the Governor (or Advisor) not later than October 1 of
the year previous to the Program Year the redesignation would be in effect.
o A Program Year (PY) is from July 1 through June 30 -e.g., PY 2013 is July 1, 2013
through June 30, 2014.
• An appeal process exists for any unit of local government, or combination of such units, whose
request for redesignation was denied.

Comparison of Workforce and Regional Solutions Boundaries
Background: Governor Kitzhaber has suggested that Oregon's local workforce investment areas consider
greater alignment with the state's regional solutions boundaries. These boundaries are based on the
state's economic development districts .
Oregon is divided into eleven "regions", each with its own regional solutions steering committee led by a
local convener as indicated on the map below .

Each of the three regions in the Valley/North Coast cluster has a Governor's staff assigned to its
committees. The remaining four clusters of regions are each served by a Governor's staff person, in
effect creating 7 regions as follows:
CENTRAL OREGON
Crook, Deschutes, Hood River, Jefferson, Klamath, Lake, Sherman and Wasco Counties
EASTERN OREGON
Baker, Gilliam, Grant, Harney, Malheur, Morrow, Umatilla, Union, Wallowa and Wheeler Counties
SOUTHERN OREGON
Coos, Curry, Douglas, Jackson and Josephine Counties
NORTH COAST

Oregon's Local Workforce Investment Areas are also divided into seven regions as indicated on the map

These boundaries were created many years ago based on the federally designated metropolitan
statistical areas that existed at the time. There is some alignment with regional solutions boundaries , as
well as large areas that are served by multiple regional solutions teams.
