1. 4H/Extension Service District Update.
Dana Martin gave a PowerPoint presentation on the various aspects of the OSU
Extension Service in the area. Oregon State University is the Land Grant
University for Oregon, with extension services in every county. There are five
core programs, four of which are applicable to Central Oregon.
The real core of 4-H and why it is successful has to do with the six C’s:
competence, confidence, connection, character, contribution,
caring/compassion. The local program is one of the most successful in the
state.
A copy of the presentation is attached for reference.
The Commissioners agree that the Extension and 4-H programs are very
worthwhile and a great benefit to the region.
2. Other Items.
The Board went into Executive Session, called under ORS 192.660(2)(d), Real
Property Negotiations. No formal action was taken.
