Budget Message
Nick Lelack, County Administrator
On behalf of the entire Deschutes County team, I am pleased to present to you the Proposed FY 2023 budget.
This budget is the result of all of our departments and offices working together to advance the Board of
Commissioners’ goals and priorities.
Deschutes County continues to maintain a strong financial position. Regional growth continues to translate into a
growing tax base and the need, in certain areas, to expand staff and programming to meet increased service
demands for our growing and changing County. This growth is also resulting in a FY23 capital budget that will
position us to meet current and future service demands.
The proposed budget for FY 2023, including County Service Districts, is $671,333,810 . This represents an
increase of $30,793,436 or 4.8% from the FY22 revised budget.
Major changes and funding for new initiatives include:
•The allocation and payment of $38 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds for pandemic recovery and
response.
•An increase of $6.0 million in capital investments, including road construction and maintenance and Solid
Waste improvements, including the Negus Transfer station project in Redmond.
•An increase of almost $2 million in transient room tax revenues due to projected FY23 collections.
•Increases in payroll and related costs of $9.2 million (A 6.4% increase from FY22).
•$500,000 to establish a coordinated office to strengthen our regional response to homelessness. This
new funding is allocated through HB 4123, which designed Deschutes County and local cities as one of
eight pilots in the state. The County expects to receive an additional $500,000 for this pilot in FY24.
The total operating budget, which best reflects the County’s actual spending, as it excludes contingency,
unappropriated balances and internal transactions is $398.3 million. This represents an increase over the FY22
revised operating budget of $22.0 million or 5.8%. FTEs included in this budget represents an increase of 14 or
1.2% from the FY 2022 revised budget due to the creation of new positions and conversion of limited duration
positions to regular.
The County continues to experience challenges filling vacant positions. As of May 1, the County has 134
vacancies out of 1,211 approved positions. In order to help to help fill positions and retain our valued employees,
the Board of County Commissioners recently granted a 2% pay adjustment to take effect July 1, 2022 for all staff.
The County continues to focus on implementing a five-year capital improvement plan. Upcoming major capital
projects include the courthouse expansion, which is estimated to begin in FY24 and has an estimated cost of $40
million, an extensive remodel of two buildings on the North County Campus in Redmond for several departments
and the completion of the Adult Parole and Probation expansion. Funding these projects will likely be an ongoing
topic of conversation with the both the Board of County Commissioners and the Budget Committee.

Budget Highlights
Locally, housing and construction markets are growing at a record pace but are unable to keep up with demand,
which is resulting in a significant increase in home prices and associated impacts. Tourism is at an all-time high.
Permit levels in our Community Development Department are expected to continue at current robust levels.
Assessed values are projected to increase 5.55% in FY23. This assumption includes the statutory 3% increase in
assessed value and the projected added value brought onto the property tax roll through new construction. Next
year’s forecast is consistent with FY20 and FY21 actual increases of 5.4%. This supports all property tax funded
services, including those funded by the General Fund, the Sheriff’s Office, Extension/4-H, and the 9-1-1 Service
District. The following graph shows the history of both County market values (MV) and assessed values (AV)
since FY 2007.
Capital spending of $87.8 million, including County service districts, is included in the FY23 budget. The capital
budget includes transportation system improvements, capital equipment additions and replacements for various
departments, technology improvements and various other routine department level capital expenditures intended
to support the delivery of services. Total capital spending for FY23 is $6 million more than FY22. Major projects
include $28.3 million in road construction and $29.1 million in Solid Waste improvements including the Negus
transfer station in Redmond.
This budget message includes summary information that is intended to provide an overview of the County’s
finances, service delivery and spending limitations. The program budget includes summary information and
detailed budget information for all County departments and funds. There is a separate section for capital
improvements and debt service payments, information on positions and salaries, and budget information for
several County service districts. The proposed budget document is meant to clearly set forth our legal proposed
budget and help our community better understand the financial structure and operations of their County.

REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE ISSUES AND PROJECTIONS
Property Taxes
The County has five authorized property tax levies that it uses to fund certain County Services. The County
General Fund receives property tax revenues from its permanent property tax rate of $1.2783/1,000 of assessed
value. The budget committee voted to reduce this rate by $0.03 for FY18 and another $0.03 for FY19. There is no
change in the rate proposed for FY23.
Property taxes are also levied by the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office to fund county law enforcement activities.
Capacity exists in these levies as the maximum amounts approved by the voters has not yet been reached. The
rates in the Sheriff’s FY23 proposed budget for the County-wide Law Enforcement District tax rate remains
unchanged at $1.05. The Rural Law Enforcement District rate is proposed to increase by $.09 to $1.43.
Property taxes are also used to fund the Extension/4-H District and the 9-1-1 County Service District. No change
is being proposed in these two levies for FY23.
Total property tax revenue included in the FY23 budget is $90,267,276 and represents an increase of $5,080,813
or 5.9%. Proposed rates and the revenue expected to be raised by each levy is shown in the table below:
Levy Maximum Rate*
FY 2022-23 Proposed
Rate*
FY 2022-23 Estimated
Collections
County Permanent Rate $ 1.2783 $ 1.2183 $ 35,533,168
Sheriff Countywide District $ 1.2500 $ 1.0500 $ 30,282,049
Sheriff Rural District $ 1.5500 $ 1.4300 $ 13,400,541
9-1-1 District $ 0.4250 $ 0.3618 $ 10,402,834
4H/Extension $ 0.0224 $ 0.0224 $ 648,684
* Per $1,000 assessed value
American Rescue Plan
The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was signed into law on March 11, 2021. The bill included $65.1 billion of
direct, flexible aid to every county in the United States to focus on recovery from the pandemic. Deschutes County
will receive more than $38 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds. The County received its first payment of
$19.2 million in May 2021 and expects the final payment in May 2022. ARPA funds must be spent by December
31, 2024. The County has been conducting an ongoing process to allocate ARPA funds among local non-profits,
businesses, and public health services. Requests were solicited, evaluated and awarded using the federal
requirements of the program. The Board of Commissioners has allocated ARPA funds to more than 50 applicants,
making critical investments in housing, childcare, small business support, public health response and more.
Transient Lodging Taxes
The tourism industry in Deschutes County has grown significantly over the past several years as indicated by
solid increases in the County’s 8% Transient Lodging Tax revenue. Actual FY21 revenue collections represented a
significant unexpected increase in collections as local, in-state travel was one of the few options with limited
restrictions available to people during the pandemic. Proposed revenues for FY 2023 are $13.6 million which is an
increase of nearly $2 million or 17% from the original FY22 budget estimates.
3
Lingering impacts of the pandemic are expected to continue to influence an increase in short term lodging during
FY23 although not at the pace we’ve witnessed in the last two years.
State Revenues
State revenues include state grants, state shared revenues, and other miscellaneous state payments, and
comprise a major portion of the funding for several County departments. State revenues in FY 23 are budgeted at
$82,944,710, a $3.2 million (4%) increase from the FY22 revised budget. The largest recipient of state revenues
in the FY23 budget is the Health Services Department at $38.4 million followed by the Road Department at $19.5
million. The largest changes from the prior year include a $1.1 million increase in funding to the 9-1-1 Service
District in State Reimbursements and Telephone Tax, a $1 million state grant to fund the County’s Coordinated
Office on Houselessness, and a projected $2 million increase in motor vehicle revenue in the Road Department.
Enterprise Fund Revenues
Enterprise Fund revenues are primarily received in the Solid Waste Department and the Fair & Expo Center.
These two departments essentially function as businesses, with the general expectation that user fees will be
sufficient to cover operating expenses and contributions to reserves for future capital needs. No rate changes are
being proposed for the Solid Waste Department. Revenues for FY23 are projected to be 7.9% higher than the
FY22 budget based on increased disposal utilization. The proposed budget includes transfers of $5,299,665 to
reserves for implementation of the County’s Solid Waste Management Plan.
The Fair & Expo Center depends on revenue from a variety of events using its facilities to sustain its operations.
FY20 was an incredibly challenging year with most regular revenue producing events, including the annual county
fair, being cancelled due to the pandemic. However, given that the County Fair was successful in FY22, we are
optimistic for FY23 and the continued return of activities to the Fair & Expo Center. Total operating sources for
FY23 are budgeted at $3.5 million. This is an increase in resources of $253,000 or 7.8% over FY22
Long-term forecasts of increasing event revenue over the next several years have eliminated the need for
General Fund support of the Fair & Expo Center operations in FY22 and FY23.
Interest Earnings
Prior to the start of the pandemic, interest earnings for FY20 across all County funds was $4.2 million. Earnings
declined dramatically for FY21 to $2.4 million due to the pandemic-related impacts and Fed actions to lower short
term interest rates. Earnings for FY22 are projected to be $1.5 million. Earnings for FY23 are estimated at $1.5
million but may be higher due to the Federal Reserve’s aggressive schedule of interest rate increases in response
to rapidly increasing inflation. The County’s investment returns are significantly linked to Federal Reserve
monetary policy as it applies to short term interest rates.
General Fund Resources
The General Fund derives its revenues primarily from the County’s permanent property tax rate, along with filing
fees in the Clerk’s Office, state shared revenues, marijuana taxes and other miscellaneous income. It is the
primary source of support for the following departments and programs: Assessor’s Office, Clerk’s Office, Board of
Property Tax Appeals, District Attorney, Finance/Tax, Veterans’ Services and Property Management operations.
Other departments receiving General Fund transfers for their operating budgets include Community Justice,
Health Services, the Fair & Expo Center, the Justice Court, Dog Control, Victim’s Assistance and the Board of
County Commissioners.
4
Beginning net working capital in the General Fund is proposed at $12,351,746. The policy level for General Fund
net working capital at the end of FY 2023 is $11,474,637 which is the amount budgeted as contingency. The
General Fund is scheduled to transfer $5,059,407 to reserves to provide for future capital needs. General Fund
non-property tax revenues are budgeted at $7,000,520 for FY23 projections.
Expenditures
The County employs more than 1,200 people to carry out the services provided to residents. Personnel costs are
a significant expense for the County as they account for about half of total County operating expenses. Labor
related costs are expected to increase overall by $9.4 million or 6.1% from the FY22 revised budget. Several
factors contribute to this increase including the addition of 14 new positions and a cost-of-living increase of 3.5%,
a wage adjustment mentioned earlier of 2% for all staff and related increases in associated payroll and retirement
costs. Other wage changes include the normal step increases where eligible. There is no increase in health
insurance rates projected for FY 2023 as the County will continue to subsidize the health insurance costs with
reserve funding.
This proposed budget includes 1,206.51 FTE. This is a 14 FTE increase or 1.2% over the number of approved
positions in the FY 2022 revised budget. The increase is due to the creation of new positions and conversion of
limited duration FTE positions set to expire in FY22 to regular duration positions.
In late 2020, the PERS Board issued new rates for the 2021-23 biennium which went into effect July 1, 2021 for
the County’s FY23 budget. The new rates, which include the 2019 reforms and new side account credit, will
provide a cost reduction to the County of approximately $2.3 million compared to original post-reform FY23
projections.
The County’s self-insured health plan for employees has performed well since its inception. Health care costs are
closely related to the claims experience of plan members. Claims experience changes from year to year based on
many factors. Given the less volatile history of claims over the past several years, the increase to rates charged
to departments for filled positions is becoming more consistent from one year to the next. Despite cost saving
measures related to the Deschutes Onsite Clinic (DOC), the onsite pharmacy, increased employee participation in
personal health assessments, and the County’s wellness program, FY23 health care costs are expected to
increase by 11.9%. This reflects increasing claims costs beginning in January 2022 due primarily to pent up
medical services needs during the pandemic, an increase in unanticipated high-cost claims, and the increased
cost of medical care and pharmaceuticals. We believe we will need a budget adjustment in FY 22 of $3 million to
cover the higher than anticipated claims costs. We also believe this experience will continue into early FY23 but
level off soon thereafter. As the Health Benefits Fund currently has a higher reserve than necessary, changes in
the fee structure are being made slowly to reduce the fund balance to an industry benchmarked level. For FY23,
charges to departments for self-insured health benefits are budgeted $1,535 per person per month which is the
same rate charged since FY20.
County departments pay internal service fees (ISF) to cover general liability, workers’ compensation, auto,
unemployment and property insurance. Overall, for FY23 as compared to FY21, general liability charges are down
5.5%, workers’ compensation charges are down .4%, property charges are 1% more, vehicle insurance rates
remain unchanged, and unemployment rates remain the same.
The budget contains eight internal service funds that charge their services out to other funds. They include Board
of County Commissioners, County Administration, Finance, Human Resources, Information Technology,
Information Technology Reserve, Legal Counsel and Facilities. Continued from FY21 is a fund that facilitated the
5
replacement of the Finance/HR software system. The project was complete in FY20 but the fund will continue
allocating the full costs of the project through FY23.
Indirect service charges will increase for FY 2023 by $1,490,470 or 11.2%. This larger than usual increase is due
to a wage adjustment of 2% and changes that were made in how indirect charges were calculated in FY21 when
a planned reduction in contingency budgets of 8.3% to 3% was implemented and a one-time use of excess fund
balances was used to reduce FY21 rates. In addition, 3.0 FTE were added to internal service funds staffing.
Community Development Department
Permit volumes in Community Development (CDD) have decreased on average 2% to 15% across all categories
when compared to FY 21 but continue to exceed volumes experienced during FY 20. Overall, building permit
revenue through April 2022 was greater than through April 2021 by 11%, Environmental Soils permit revenues
decreased 11% and Planning permit revenues increased by 8%. Revenues included in the FY 23 budget are
projected to increase an additional 0% to 3% and include a fee increase in the current planning division. To
manage current permitting volumes and new hire staff training, CDD requested two (2) new positions in its
building safety and planning divisions.
Health Services Department
The Health Services Department is funded by a variety of sources, including state and federal funds, grants, fees
and charges and transfers from the General Fund. The General Fund transfer for FY23 is $6,090,389, which is
an increase of $181,221 from the FY22 investment.
Health Services staffing for the department includes an increase of 1 FTE in the proposed FY23 budget. In
addition, a number of additional positions are not included in the proposed budget but will be presented by the
Health Department as special requests and may be considered by the Budget Committee. To gain a better
understanding of the department’s funding, we added one budget committee meeting in the schedule prior to the
regular budget committee process to discuss the upcoming policy decisions of the Health department.
After opening the Crisis Stabilization Center in Bend to better address the needs of citizens in crisis who have
been referred to law enforcement, the Health Services Department received $2.4 million in grant funding to
support a 24-hour operation at the Center through FY22. The Department was recently awarded the same grant
funding for FY23 and FY24. Costs to sustain 24/7 operations of the facility are included in the proposed budget
and include a $620,000 transfer from the Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff’s Office
The Sheriff’s Office is funded through two voter approved law enforcement districts that levy property taxes. The
Countywide District, with a maximum tax rate of $1.25, supports countywide Sheriff functions including the Jail.
The Rural District, with a maximum tax rate of $1.55, supports unincorporated county Sheriff’s services such as
patrol and investigations. The proposed budget includes one change in levy as the Rural District increased from
$1.34 to $1.43 per $1,000 of assessed value. Property tax revenues for the two districts combined for FY 2023
are estimated at $43,682,590. Lodging taxes collected in the unincorporated area and transferred to the Sheriff to
fund Sheriff’s operations in the unincorporated area are expected to be $3,651,787, the same amount included in
the FY22 budget. The Sheriff is requesting the continuation of the additional $500,000 in Transient Room taxes
that was granted on a one-time basis in FY22 and that amount is included in the proposed budget. The Sheriff’s
Office also provides law enforcement services in the cities of Sisters and La Pine through intergovernmental
agreements.
6
County Clerk
Clerk’s Office revenues are generated primarily through the recording of documents. Clerk revenues improved
over the past several years and were more than $2.7 million in FY21. Projections for FY 23 however, have
declined to just $1.9 million. This reduction is due to changes in the volume of recorded documents from real
estate transactions. These reductions are due to more cash sales than in the past and the drop off of refinancing
transactions due to rising interest rates. In the past, the Clerk’s Office has produced more revenue than expense.
As an example, it contributed a net $1,360,299 in FY21. Due to reduced revenues and increased expenses, it
appears that it will require net General Fund resources in FY23 of $132,810. One position was added to the
Elections Division in FY22.
District Attorney’s Office
Based on the completion of a staffing and operational study conducted by the Prosecutors’ Center for Excellence,
the District Attorney requested two new deputy district attorneys, 2.5 new trial assistants, one new victims’
advocate, a bump of .75 to the management analyst (to move this from .25 to 1.0 FTE), and the addition of
supervisory pay to two deputy district attorneys (offset by the elimination of lead pay enhancements for 3 deputy
district attorneys). All of the requests except for the addition of a new victims’ advocate were approved in the FY22
proposed budget. No new positions are included in the FY23 proposed budget, however, the District Attorney has
requested 2FTE in new DA staff and 1.3FTE for Victims Assistance.
9-1-1 County Service District
The 9-1-1 Service District continues to implement plans to enhance regional radio system coverage through
programming changes and the addition of new radio sites. In FY23, the District anticipates that it will add 3 new
radio sites in North and West Deschutes County. Radio system enhancements will bolster communication
capabilities throughout Central Oregon and beyond giving general government and public safety reliable
communications when responding to emergencies. Since the inception of the radio project, funds have been
allocated in each budget cycle for future replacement and improvements to the system, which puts the District in
good position implement these projects.
In FY23, the District will also continue its CAD software update, as staff works to refine performance of the
system. The District will also invest an estimated $1.2 million in a 9-1-1 back-up facility that provides business
continuity for dispatching and call taking services across two geographic locations. The new facility is providing
much needed space and console count expansion from the current location.
The 9-1-1 center is funded by a permanent property tax levy that was approved by voters in May 2016 with a
maximum rate of $0.425. The levy rate for FY23 remains unchanged from prior years at $0.3618.
Road Department
In FY23, the Road Department plans to implement $12.4 million of road construction projects and contribute more
than $16.7 million to ODOT partner projects in Terrebonne and Tumalo. County delivered projects will include
construction of a roundabouts at the intersection of Deschutes Market Road/Hamehook Road, Powell Butte
Highway/Butler Market Road and pavement overlay of portions of Alfalfa Market Road, Deschutes Market Road,
and Northwest Way. Bridge replacement projects at Smith Rock Way and Gribbling Road have also been
budgeted for FY 23. Inflation and supply chain issues will continue to significantly impact the department’s
operations. The department’s FY23 budget reflects a re-budgeting of equipment that was not able to be
purchased in FY22 due to supply chain and other availability issues.
7
Solid Waste
In FY22, the Department of Solid Waste continued to make progress on the new solid waste management facility
(Landfill) siting process as well as planning for transfer station improvements for the Negus Transfer Station in
Redmond. Those efforts will continue in FY23, as the department continues the landfill siting process and begins
construction on the $21.9 million Negus transfer station project.
Contingency
Most non-property tax supported funds in the budget meet the County financial policy minimum of 8.3% of
operating budget or one month’s worth of expenditures, to be budgeted in contingency. The policy also
requires that tax supported operations budget at least four months of tax revenues in contingency to provide a
cash flow cushion until property taxes are collected in November. An adjustment to the policy was made in FY21
for the internal service funds, lowering the contingency requirement from 8.3% to 3% to reflect the fact that
internal service budgets are effectively a component of other County direct service budgets where contingency is
already budgeted. Contingency levels in three County operating funds fall short of the policy level including the
County Fair fund, the Victims’ Assistance fund and Solid Waste fund. The County's financial policy allows the
Chief Financial Officer to consider other reserves and cash flow from other revenues in the fund when applying
this policy. The Chief Financial Officer has determined that the contingency levels in these funds are sufficient to
allow the waiver of the policy for FY23.
Debt Service
Expenditures to repay borrowed funds are budgeted at $6,339,710 for FY23. This is 4.2% more than FY22 and is
due to scheduled increases in debt service amortization amounts. New debt was anticipated in the FY22 budget
to fund the Negus Transfer Station improvements and are being included again in the FY23 budget as the project
is now set to begin in FY23. The improvements are estimated to cost just over $21 million. The courthouse
expansion project is estimated to cost just over $40 million and construction is anticipated to begin in FY24. If
approved, new debt would be issued in FY24.
Debt amounts have declined over previous years due to the completion of the debt service related to the Fair and
Expo Center in FY17. In addition, two older bonds, series 2008 and 2009 were refinanced at substantially lower
interest rates in FY19. Series 2010, which funded the construction of the Deschutes Recovery Center and carried
interest coupons on the remaining bonds between 3% and 4%, was refunded using reserves in FY21 resulting in
a future interest expense savings of $165,000. The County completed the refinance of Series 2012 bonds in
FY22 for a savings through 2032 of just over $2.0 million.
All the County’s remaining debt falls into the full faith and credit category and is payable from the County’s current
revenues. This type of County debt was used to fund the jail expansion, the Community Development building,
the 9-1-1 and Oregon State Police Center, the County Service Building and other facilities around the County.
The following graph shows the history of the County’s major debt service categories since FY 2012.

In Conclusion
The proposed FY23 County budget is balanced and continues to support the delivery of quality services to our
growing and changing community. There are many positive factors contributing to our economy, including long-
term strength in the tourism and business environment, entrepreneurial spirit, strong construction activity, rising
real estate values and manageable operating budget increases. Capital projects associated with federal dollars
and prudent use of reserve funds represent a strong acknowledgement of the County’s intent to keep pace with
continued growth in our region. With this budget, it is expected that the County will continue to sustain the
provision of quality services. Further, it will provide the financial foundation to accomplish the Board of County
Commissioners’ FY23 goals and objectives, as detailed in this document.
I would like to extend my appreciation to the employees in all County departments who carry out the services
described in this budget document. In addition to the employees in each operating department that prepare the
initial budget submittal, certain individuals play a large role in carrying the process forward to the Budget
Committee, including Budget Manager Dan Emerson, and Senior Budget Analyst Betsy Tucker, interim CFO
Wayne Lowry, Deputy County Administrator Erik Kropp, Deputy County Administrator Whitney Hale and Human
Resources Director Kathleen Hinman. To them I extend my sincere thanks. Finally, I acknowledge and appreciate
the thoughtful work of the Budget Committee in employing their extensive knowledge of Deschutes County, as
well as their financial acumen, in their review and approval of the FY23 Budget Proposal.
Respectfully submitted,
Nick Lelack County Administrator

COMMUNITY JUSTICE: SUCCESSES & CHALLENGES
Significant Accomplishments
In FY22 the department protected public safety through maintaining foundational services in the second year of
the COVID 19 pandemic, and engaging with partners, staff, clients and community members to innovate services
and strive for equitable supervision outcomes. Accomplishments included:
•Maintained public safety, victim reparation, risk reduction and client behavior change in the face of a dynamic
economic, public health and public safety outlook. 88% of young people paid their entire restitution obligation
to victims, 69% of young people completed their community service obligations despite restrictions on
community service crew activity, and 80% of young people reduced their risk to re-offend by the time they
completed their supervision. Approximately 74% of adults on supervision received a comprehensive risk and
needs assessment within 60 days of admission, a cornerstone for building supervision plans that balance
immediate public safety needs with our obligation to promote long-term behavior change. We maintained a
26% reduction in prison usage without negative impact on recidivism, and in some cases, decreasing
recidivism.
•Engaged with community members and staff to understand and eliminate disparities in public safety outcomes
experienced by Black, Latinx and Indigenous people in Deschutes County. Juvenile division staff continue to
partner with local agencies and school districts to implement restorative justice principles to create welcoming
and inclusive environments, as well as respond to negative behavior within organizations that work with
young people, including our own. The adult division is engaged with a community workgroup to create
culturally responsive services and supervision. Projects include partnering with a local nonprofit to provide a
culturally-specific support program for Black men and modernizing and improving the way in which we collect,
use and respond to our clients’ racial, ethnic and gender identities.
•Engaged with clients and other public safety partners to innovate and maintain productive and efficient staff
and client activity despite continuing need to conduct many activities virtually. The adult division identified the
need to support our 911 and law enforcement partners by piloting a program that allows Parole & Probation
officers in the field to access and document their whereabouts and status directly into area dispatch systems,
freeing up dispatcher radio traffic. Juvenile division staff created a workgroup to investigate ways to support
and provide quality substance use disorder treatment as local resources are insufficient for current demand of
young people on supervision. For the second year staff provided virtual-only cognitive behavioral groups, and
continued to conduct client skill building sessions over the phone or video conference platforms. This
experience confirms that phone or video conference interaction supports equitable treatment and outcomes
58
by removing barriers to interaction and engagement such as taking time off work, finding child care, or other
difficulties in making in-person office visits. Staff continued to hold virtual team, staff and workgroup meetings
to identify and solve problems, keep professional relationships strong and build new programming. We will
continue to innovate and use virtual platforms into the future.
•Department leadership strengthened opportunities for staff to engage with staff in strategic planning and
operations, and offered new mechanisms for staff leadership and professional growth during FY22. These are
crucial areas not just to advance department priorities in a sustainable and widespread manner, but for staff
retention and engagement, two challenges in the current labor environment. The adult division created two
new “Core Correctional Practices” staff instructor positions to advance staff ability to fulfill the “coach” role that
Parole & Probation Officers can play in clients’ lives. The juvenile division continued team-level focus on goal
creation that aligns with a 10 year strategic plan, monthly restorative practice circles for staff to engage with
one another about division priorities, and created internal leadership opportunities for staff to implement
restorative practice innovations and advance learning and addressing racial and ethnic disparities.
Fiscal Issues
•The juvenile division enters FY23 in good financial position, requesting only a 3.6% increase in general fund
transfer since FY22.This year, as in past years, the juvenile budget reflects prudent spending and
responsiveness to state and national trends in juvenile populations: declining or flat numbers of young people
referred to the department, partnered with a focus on intensive work with higher risk youth. Since a significant
staff downsizing between FY10 and FY14, FTE has remained steady and overall expenses have increased
just under 2% year over year.
•Delays in FY22 will transfer some juvenile detention facility capital expense to required additional
expenditures in FY23 to replace security cameras, and upgrade software and hardware that manages internal
control of doors, video surveillance cameras and intercoms.
•The adult division enters FY23 in a strong financial position. Largely funded by state revenue provided as a
biennial allocation to supervise adults sentenced on a felony, our FY23 revenue projections reflect the fact
that we were allocated more state revenue for the current biennium than was budgeted in FY22, as state
revenue was not yet finalized at the time of FY22 budgeting.
•The adult division expects substantial reduction in state revenues overall starting in the FY23-25 biennium,
based on a declining population of adults sentenced to either felony probation or prison over the past two
years. From FY19 through FY21, the division increased its proportion of state revenue that we share with the
sheriff’s office for felony supervision and local control (ability for county jail to house people sentenced to one
year or less in prison). We have continued to keep the bulk of our larger allocation in contingency, in
anticipation of shrinking future state revenue overall. Current projections indicate that the contingency may
need to be fully utilized for operational expenses starting in FY25, at which time new revenue or reduced
services may become necessary to maintain operations.
•State Department of Corrections revenue (including revenue reserved for future expenditure) does not include
funding to supervise adults with most misdemeanor convictions. The county has prioritized and supported this
work in the past through a General Fund allocation. The FY23 budget reduces its FY22 general fund transfer
request by 19%, in response to reduction in number of county-funded adults on supervision for
misdemeanors, which is a result of state legislation that increases the type of misdemeanors funded with
state revenue.
59
Operational Challenges
•The adult and juvenile divisions will continue capital renovations and/or expansion in FY23. Construction
contracts have been awarded and work has begun to expand the adult division’s main Bend office, which will
disrupt services and staffing for a short while. Architectural design is in motion to remodel the first floor of the
juvenile division’s main Bend facility to better allow for meeting and administrative space for detention staff,
and larger training area for all staff and community members.
•Volatility in the public safety system and client population during the COVD 19 pandemic will likely continue in
FY23. Additionally, Oregon voters and lawmakers continue to reduce the footprint of the public safety
system’s involvement with juveniles and adults possessing or using drugs, or struggling with addiction.
Understanding and incorporating these changes into operations is a key priority, including supporting staff in
new and changed roles, understanding and adjusting to new referral or sentencing patterns, and keeping
steadfast attention on best practices with the populations we continue to work with.
•Addressing affordable housing for community justice clients who are both particularly vulnerable and can pose
a public safety risk to others, and who are disproportionately lower income with criminal records is a
continuing challenge. We will be working with the numerous collaborative efforts now underway in the region
to address homelessness and affordable housing needs to ensure that the needs of individuals involved with
juvenile and adult supervision remain part of the conversation and solutions.
•The juvenile and adult divisions have experienced a 6% and 9% personnel vacancy rate respectively in FY22
to date. Particularly in the juvenile division, this has been driven by attrition, a dynamic seen in many parts of
the labor market. We will remain vigilant to healthy recruitment, onboarding, training and retention strategies
in partnership with the county’s Human Resources efforts.

Department Overview
The Office of District Attorney is created by the Oregon Constitution, which states:
There shall be elected by districts comprised of one or more counties, a sufficient number of prosecuting
Attorneys, who shall be the law officers of the State, and of the counties within their respective districts, and shall
perform such duties pertaining to the administration of Law and general police as the Legislative Assembly may
direct.
The District Attorney’s Office is headed by the elected District Attorney, who directs staff consisting of 2 Chief
Deputy District Attorneys, 2 Deputy District Attorney Supervisors, 20.5 Deputy District Attorneys, 23.5 Trial
Assistants, 2 Investigators, 1 Executive Assistant, 1 Operations Manager, 1 Administrative Manager, 1.1
Management Analysts, 2 IT staff, 1.5 Administrative Staff, 1 Victims’ Advocate Program Manager and 7 Victims’

accountable when crimes occur.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE

Trial Assistants
The deputy district attorneys are supported by Trial Assistant. The Trial Assistants perform a multitude of tasks for
the office. Their primary function is to provide support for their assigned deputy district attorney and to process/
maintain files. There are currently 23.5 FTEs devoted to the trial assistant position and 25 people that fill those
positions.
Our goal is to provide efficient help and support to the deputy district attorneys as they prosecute criminal cases in
Deschutes County. A trial assistant’s duties are administrative in nature.
In the future, the trial assistant team would like to focus on additional training to help build skills around case
research and evidence review. These additional skills would allow the trial assistant to provide additional support
to the deputy district attorney and create practices that are more efficient.
Operations
The main objective of the Operations Department is to provide timely and professional internal and external
customer service. This team supports day-to-day operations in our office to alleviate pressure from members of
management, internal staff and the public. This support includes:
Operations team members seek to create a consistent, welcoming and respectful environment throughout the
DA’s Office. To ensure we are a diverse, equitable and inclusive unit providing service that reflects the County’s
Every Time Standards.
Information Technology (IT)
The Information Technology (IT) team is responsible for providing maintenance and support for all information
technology equipment and computer program systems. The department consists of two FTE- Supervisor,
Application System Analyst II and Staff, Applications System Analyst I.

Services include providing information and assistance regarding the criminal justice system, crime victims’
compensation, victims’ rights, court hearing notification, victim notification on defendant custody status, resource
referrals, parole board hearings and all other vital information and services.

services delivered by this program provides are not replicated by any other agency in our community and are
required under Oregon Statute.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE: SUCCESSES & CHALLENGES
Significant Accomplishments
PREVENTING CRIME:
Clean Slate – A Crime Prevention Initiative
Deschutes County has a drug problem: each year the number of drug arrests grows. This rise is primarily due to
known offenders being rearrested for drug possession or committing other crimes such as theft. Our recidivism
rates are high because our traditional prosecution strategy too harshly penalizes individuals with addictions and is
64
too lenient on individuals manufacturing and selling drugs. In collaboration with law enforcement and our medical
community, District Attorney Hummel launched Goldilocks: a three-tiered program that targets the intervention that
is just right for each criminal suspect. Regarding the Clean Slate component of the program, program participants
are 27% less likely to recidivate people who are prosecuted the traditional way.
Enrollment in Clean Slate over the last fiscal year has dropped dramatically due to the passing of Measure 110
that decriminalized the possession of small quantities of illicit drugs. The State’s new plan to address drug use
and criminal activity differs from our Clean Slate model in that anyone cited for possession can pay a $100 fine or
enroll in drug treatment to avoid a violation. Clean Slate enrolled all higher risk/need individuals that engaged into
primary care and offered care to even lower risk participants. Although the two programs differ in implementation,
their premises are similar and we are proud to have been on the forefront of this trend to address low level drug
use. Clean Slate Documentary - https://bradleylanphear.com/project/clean-slate/
PROSECUTION:
•Pandemic protocols resulted in systemic changes to the Criminal Justice System, as directed by the Chief
Justice’s and the Deschutes County Presiding Judge. Challenges include:
•Deputy District Attorneys providing coverage for 1-2 DDAs on leave and for unfilled positions. DDAs have
been rotating coverage for these positions for over a year.
•Successfully on-boarded two brand new prosecutors, training them from day one of their first prosecution jobs
to representing the state successfully on their own.
•Since 2020 DCDA has successfully completed a number of trials at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds,
including a complex child abuse case that spanned three weeks from start to finish. Trials at the Fairgrounds
are difficult because of the commute, logistics, and increased level of coordination and planning required.
Deputy DA’s, Trial Assistants, and Victims’ Assistants had work together to overcome these obstacles. Trials
at the Fairgrounds tend to take longer and present more issues than trials at the courthouse. Despite these
added difficulties, everyone worked together successfully.
•Addressing the backlog of trials, hearing and the Bench Warrant Queue. The court has held more than 1300
warrants due to the limited capacity of the jail and court system during the Pandemic. Due to limited space
available for trials, fewer trials than normal have been conduct in the last two years. This has created a
backlog of trials that will have to be addressed in the near future.
•The average number of homicide cases continues to remain between 10-12 pending per year since the high
of 13 in 2018.
•DCDA has assumed the civil forfeiture responsibilities for the Central Oregon Drug Enforcement Team.
Previously, all civil forfeiture work for the CODE team was assigned to the Crook County District Attorney’s
Office. DCDA is now responsible for all of the civil forfeiture cases generated by the CODE team.
•DCDA worked with the Deschutes County Illegal Marijuana Enforcement Grant team to expand the
investigation and prosecution focus to include an assessment of Environmental Crimes.
PROTECTING THE INNOCENT:
•We provided a thorough review of the evidence in all alleged criminal offenses that were presented to our
office. This resulted in us declining to file criminal charges in numerous cases based on our belief that the
suspect was innocent or the suspect’s guilt could not be proven, the evidence was obtained contrary to the
law, or the interests of justice compelled our decision.
65
COMMUNITY COLLABORATION:
•The IMPACTS funding opportunity aims to reduce the number of jail bookings and reliance on emergency
departments and Oregon State Hospital beds while improving capacity for community-based treatment,
supports and services to provide better outcomes for involved individuals, and more efficiently use local and
state resources, and maintain public safety.
•DCDA created a DEI team internally and members of the team presented to the Community Latino
Association about who the DA’s Office is and what we do.
INNOVATION:
•Emerging Adult team to address criminal justice disparities among young adults (18-24-years-old). The
program concept was initiated during the Prosecutor Impact training. The program plan includes restorative
justice methodologies and Dr. Laub’s research and training on how a positive impact at this pivotal age can
change the trajectory of a person’s life.
•DCDA launched the Veterans Intervention Strategy in November 2020 to address the needs of service
members within our community that have been negatively impacted by their military service to the country,
which resulted in drug addiction and/or mental health challenges. The program overcame a decade-old barrier
that has prevented the launch of a traditional Veterans Treatment Court (VTC), while allowing us to implement
many VTC best practices. The collaborative inter-agency team uses legal incentives and targeted veteran
specific services and resources to help these veterans improve their life outcomes.
•At the beginning of March 2022, we launched CANNAFACTS an informational website to educate residents
and visitors to Deschutes County on the laws related to legal cannabis activity.
•Expungement process-SB819
•DCIMME-addition of environmental crimes
•Creation of the Forensic Team Lead
•Implementing PCE
Operational Challenges
•Employee retention. In 2020, we anticipated that the pandemic would be our biggest operational challenge,
but we were wrong. In 2021, while adjusting to the impact of COVID-19, we experienced high rates of attorney
and staff turn-over. The impact on work efficiency, productivity and morale was significant.
•Our biggest challenge remains our issues with staffing. There has been considerable turnover amongst the
DDA’s and we have struggled to replace those individuals. The main reason why DDA’s have left and why we
have struggled to replace them is that the cost of living in Deschutes County has skyrocketed, but our pay has
remained stagnant. A number of experienced attorneys around the state have expressed interest in working
for our office, but simply cannot afford to live here based on the salary we offer.
•The low staffing levels create serious morale issues. Simply put, there are very few DDA’s that can take on
the major cases. This creates major strain on those that can. The experienced DDA’s cannot take the time to
mentor younger DDAs or perform any other functions.
•Body Worn Cameras (BWC) and Electronic data evidence exceeded our expectations and our capabilities.
•Implementation of the Prosecutors’ Center for Excellence’s recommendations is not occurring at the pace we
desired. Constant turn-over and increased workload means the changes recommended to improve the office
66
cannot be made. Supervisors are taking on more line work as part of “coverage” and spending less time
supervising than before the assessment.

SUCCESSES & CHALLENGES
Significant Accomplishments
•Continued to improve community service in the Concealed Handgun License Unit by expanding ability to
process applications, renewals, and payments to provide convenience and safety due to the pandemic.
•Worked with Courts and other law enforcement agencies to reduce the jail population while keeping the
potentially most dangerous offenders in custody. This initiative helped avoid a serious COVID outbreak
among the jail population as well as among staff..
•Completed the upgrade to the exterior façade and windows of the main office. This measure fixed leaks from
the window frames that were causing dry rot and long-term damage to the exterior structure.
•Completed the implementation of a new Body Camera system for deputies and patrol car cameras to aid in
the performance of duties and provide transparency and information to both prosecutors and the public.
•Provided support to organizations that lost significant numbers of volunteers due to COVID concerns, such as
La Pine Senior Center.
•The online reporting System for community members to file non-emergency reports continues to be a
success. Though work crews were discontinued as a precaution due to COVID 19, deputies performed the
work on their own, cleaning up 67 graffiti sites and removing over 38,880 pounds of trash from illegal dump
sites.
•Signed a new three-year contract with the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Employee Association (DCSEA) that
provides full health benefits for retirees after 25 years of service, aligning health benefits with PERS
retirement and past practice.
•Added mobile spike strips and Star Chase devices to our patrol cars as tools to end pursuits quickly and
reduce risk.
Fiscal Issues
•The continued uncertainty surrounding the COVID 19 recovery, along with reductions in State and Federal
revenue, create several unknowns, requiring flexibility. Additionally, as restrictions are lifted and the economy
comes back to life, we continue to struggle with hiring shortages. This, supply-chain shortages and inflation
create a great deal of uncertainty going forward.
72
•New technology and maintenance costs often outpace the funds available for such purchases.
•As technology evolves and case law and legislation change, training must be adapted to apply new systems
or practices surrounding its use. This often necessitates changes to existing training plans and budget.
•The cost of providing medical and behavioral health care to inmates continues to increase.
•As we grow, the cost to remodel aging building systems and operating equipment continues to increase.
•Staffing levels and the ability to fill open positions remain a challenge for both Patrol and Corrections. The
investment in hours on behavioral health-related patrol calls continues to grow, which in turn decreases the
number of deputies available for calls. Efficient staffing levels limit coverage during employee absences due
to trainings, light duty, vacations or sick leave.
Operational Challenges
•The lifting of restrictions, hiring shortages, supply-chain disruptions, and inflation continue to impact the Office
on many levels. Recruiting, hiring, and training processes take additional time and revenue from state
programs remains uncertain.
•Managing staffing levels due to COVID 19, along with the challenges of operating at optimum levels while
balancing staff availability and absences due to vacation, Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), illness and
injury. Despite higher unemployment, the pool of applicants has decreased in recent years, as it has for the
law enforcement profession altogether.
•The increase in arrests for driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII) drug impaired drivers and citations
for minors in possession of marijuana over the last few years continue to require additional resources. The
recent decriminalization of recreational drugs will require resources and continued training. Calls for
marijuana grows operating outside the law, or in violation of county code, continue to rise.
•Responding to behavioral health issues. The increase in persons experiencing a behavioral health crisis
requires Patrol deputies to devote extra attention to such calls. This can impact availability for other calls for
service, response times, and deputy safety. Additionally, more resources are needed to meet the behavioral
health needs of inmates.
•Adjusting to inmate housing restrictions. Inmates are currently housed based on classification, which limits the
types of offenders that can be housed in a unit.
•Addressing limited visitation space, which is resulting in delays for visits by attorneys and other professionals.
•Recruiting and hiring qualified teammates to fill vacancies and meet the operational needs of the Sheriff’s
Office. Providing competitive pay and benefits to meet the needs of a diverse workforce with the intent of
retaining quality employees.
•The homeless crisis continues to be an issue, as calls related to encampments are increasing.

Budget Summary - Law Enforcement Services
This program includes Patrol Investigations, Civil Records, Special Services, Search & Rescue and Emergency
Services. Patrol continues to successfully impact traffic safety issues of DUII, speeding and aggressive driving
through innovative use of focused patrols. However, investigators are also experiencing a need to keep current
with changing technology that allows criminals to become more creative and attempt more brazen crimes. The
Sheriff’s Office is seeing an increase in substance abuse, burglary/major theft, suicides/death investigations, child
sex abuse, sexual assault and more violence-related incidents in Deschutes County. In addition, child
pornography, dealing with the mentally ill and suicidal subjects requires more resources and training. The
Deschutes County Search and Rescue organization is one of the busiest units in the state. Maintaining the
volunteer membership and preventing turnover continues to be a significant challenge.

Department Overview
The Assessor’s Office, working under the direction of the Deschutes County Assessor, an elected official, is

Assessor’s Office is also responsible for calculating property taxes on behalf of more than 60 separate districts
and entities. The department is comprised of three divisions:
•Appraisal Division is responsible for the appraisal of new construction, re-appraisals, appeal process, sales
analysis, special assessments and annual adjustments of property values.
•Assessment Records Division is responsible for providing public information, administering deferral,
exemption, and tax rate calculations.
•Cartography Division is responsible for mapping tax parcels, continuing creation and maintenance of the GIS
parcels network, and processing deeds.
In FY 22, Deschutes County had 110,637 taxable accounts representing $56.1 billion in real market value and
$28.8 billion in taxable assessed value, generating $456.0 million in property taxes and assessments.
ASSESSOR’S OFFICE

SUCCESSES & CHALLENGES
Significant Accomplishments
•Improved staff knowledge, skills, resources and tools necessary to deliver top-quality products.
•Ensured all appraisal staff are current on state-required continuing education hours to maintain appraisal
registration.
•Conducted other staff trainings, in topics that include: customer service, deed and real estate law,
exemptions, and other related courses to stay current on Oregon property tax laws, practices and standards.
•Completed assigned work timely and accurately:
◦All new construction and new land partition appraisals completed timely.
◦Assessment and map records updated and completed timely.
◦Annual tax rolls completed and mailed timely adhering to statutory requirements.
◦Maximized usefulness and accuracy of GIS data ensuring quality products and services.
Fiscal Issues
Funding for the Assessor’s Office comes primarily from the County’s General Fund (approx. 80%), a state grant
(18-20%), and the sale of maps, transfer of titles and moving permits for manufactured homes, and miscellaneous
fees (1-2%). The state funds are a matching grant from Oregon Department of Revenue. As County resources
appropriated to the Assessor’s Office increase or decrease, state grant funds adjust proportionately.
Operational Challenges
•Deschutes County has seen continual rapid growth, both in real-estate appreciation and in the number of new
building permits being issued. The COVID pandemic only seemed to accelerate this growth, therefore an
ongoing challenge is to insure that the Office is able to accomplish the increased work volumes with quality
outcomes in the most cost-effective manner.
•Following a very successful pilot study using iPads with vendor-provided software for field appraisals, the
Office is now implementing the system for all appraisers. This change will improve both appraisal quality and
efficiencies, resulting in cost savings and a higher quality product.

Department Overview
The Clerk’s Office oversees elections, real property recording, Board of Property Tax Appeals and marriage
licenses and serves as the custodian of historical records. Services also include:
•Records center and archives
•Voter registration and election administration
•Records microfilming and preservation
•Federal passport acceptance agent
SUCCESSES & CHALLENGES
Significant Accomplishments
•The Clerk’s online Digital Research Room, one of the County’s most visited sites, had deeds dating back to
1952. An additional 50 plus years of records were imported which completes all county deed records dating
back to 1871. Having one source repository for a majority of deed records will produce lasting results for
future generations. Additionally, software changes have been made to introduce “cart functionality” allowing
customers to order and pay for records online.
CLERK’S OFFICE
87
•Recording staff in the Clerk’s Office completed a multi-year project of indexing 1983 and 1984 real property
records. Now, all “Official Records” are indexed and have an associated document.
•The Oregon Legislative Assembly completed the adoption of new congressional and legislative redistricting
plans for Oregon on Sept. 27, 2021. Once the plans were signed into law and upheld by the courts, the
Clerk's Office began applying the changes. Over 90% of Deschutes County voters had a change to either
their districts or precinct. Voter Notification cards were mailed to affected voters informing them of their new
districts and/or precincts.
•In response to retirements of long tenured employees and the growth of the county, succession planning
continues to be reevaluated by the Clerk’s Office. In January 2021, a two-year limited duration position was
approved. In October 2021, the BOCC approved the request to reclassify this position to a “regular” position.
The BOCC also approved the Clerk’s request to add one more FTE for Elections, bringing the staffing levels
of the office up to 11 FTE.
Fiscal Issues
•The primary revenue source for the Clerk’s Office is recording fees. In FY 22, recording revenues remained
above historical averages; however, it is anticipated that rising interest rates might have a negative impact on
revenues.
•Election revenues are cyclical. During even years, the state, cities and Soil and Water Conservation District,
by statute, do not reimburse the County for their apportioned primary and general election costs. Election
expenditures include the projection of four elections each fiscal year.
Operational Challenges
•The current space used for elections for the past 18 years is becoming increasingly insufficient for
operations. The increased volume of balloting materials and required personnel highlights the need for
additional space to conduct elections in the near future. In coordination with Facilities, Property Management
and the Clerk’s Office, a space study is underway with a local architect group. The intended goal is to identify
solutions to ensure sufficient space for operational needs.
•Proposed federal and state legislation, if passed, would have significant impact on how elections are
conducted and fiscal requirements.

Department Overview
The Community Development Department (CDD) consists of Administrative Services and five divisions which
provide coordinated planning and development services. The department is made up of the following divisions
and programs:
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES: Provides oversight for all departmental operations and facilities, human
resources, budget, customer service, technology and performance measures. Systems Analyst staff are
responsible for the integration of technology across all CDD divisions and coordinates with the cities as well as
providing direct service to the public via application training and support, web-based mapping, reporting services
and data distribution.
COORDINATED SERVICES DIVISION: Provides coordination of permitting and “front line” direct services
to customers at the main office in Bend and at the La Pine and Sisters City Halls.
CODE COMPLIANCE DIVISION: Responsible for investigating code violation complaints to ensure
compliance with each of the codes and statutes administered by CDD and provides direct service on contract to
the City of La Pine for solid waste violations.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
91
BUILDING SAFETY DIVISION: Provides construction plan reviews, consultation and inspections to assure
compliance with federal and state building codes in the rural County and cities of La Pine and Sisters.
ENVIRONMENTAL SOILS DIVISION: Regulates on-site wastewater treatment systems (septic) and
monitors environmental factors for public health and resource protection.
PLANNING DIVISION: The Planning Division is separated into two operational areas: Current and Long
Range Planning. Current Planning processes individual land use applications and provides information to the
public on all land use related issues. Long Range Planning addresses the future needs of the community through
updates to the comprehensive plan, changes to County Code and other special projects.
SUCCESSES & CHALLENGES
Significant Accomplishments
•Welcomed a new CDD Director in the fall of 2021.
•Revised office lobby hours, closing to the public at 4:00 p.m. to provide staff opportunity to respond to an
increased number of calls, email inquiries and online application submissions.
•Revised CDD’s Fee Waiver Policy with Board of County Commissioners approval.
•Enhanced CDD’s Planning Division’s webpage to provide more information about land use public hearings,
application materials and opportunities for the public to submit comments on pending applications.
•Continued to enforce County regulations to preserve rural quality of life by striving to achieve voluntary
compliance in 90% of code compliance complaints and resolving 85% of cases within one year.
•Code Compliance Division implemented a Noxious Weed Program.
•Provided staff with field safety classes in coordination with Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office.
•Implemented First Interstate Bank remote deposit feature in main office and satellite locations.
•Continued coordination with the Deschutes County/Neighbor Impact Loan Partnership program that provides
financial assistance to South County property owners when a nitrogen-reducing Alternative Treatment
Technology (ATT) system is required to repair a failing onsite system.
•Provided assistance and information regarding onsite wastewater treatment systems in Terrebonne to
Parametrix, engineering consultant, for the Terrebonne Sewer Feasibility Study.
•Issued a Request for Proposal and selected a respondent for a Comprehensive Plan Update.
•Completed a Department of Land Conservation and Technical Assistance (TA) Grant to update the County’s
wildlife habitat inventory and consider wildfire hazard mitigation standards.
•Coordinated with Oregon Department of Transportation on a Transportation and Growth Management Grant
to update the Tumalo Community Plan and implement the rural trails portion of the Sisters County Vision
Action Plan.
Fiscal Issues
•Ensuring financial stability and sustained high quality services by establishing a financial contingency plan
that provides a clear course of action if CDD’s reserve funds decline.
•CDD is responding to significantly increased inquiries regarding rural development opportunities and many
relate to complex properties or challenging conditions. Many of these inquiries require research and in-depth
92
responses, but do not result in permits and corresponding revenues. This “non-fee generating” work, a public
good, is consuming limited resources to efficiently process permits.
•Increasing opposition to and appeals of land use applications, including those in compliance with Deschutes
County Code are causing the Planning Division to subsidize Hearings Officer public hearing costs.
•Staff turnover is creating additional costs to and resource re-allocations from service delivery to training
across the department.
Operational Challenges
•Maintaining productivity while experiencing near record high levels of permitting volumes and significant staff
turnover. During 2021, CDD welcomed 16 new staff, internally promoted 13 staff and ended the year with 10
positions in various stages of the recruitment process. An estimated 63% of CDD staff have 5 years or less
experience with the department.
•Coordinating with Human Resources to develop and implement strategies to retain and recruit staff.
•Succession planning for upcoming staff retirements. An estimated 11% of current staff will be eligible for
retirement within the next 6 to 8 years based on length of service.
•Sustaining high customer service levels while transitioning to and implementing post-pandemic business
operations such as continued partial remote working, shared workspaces with increasing staff levels,
adherence to ongoing public health and safety measures and continued expansion of CDD online services
and meeting technologies.
•Improving post-pandemic public hearing and engagement strategies with in-person and remote/online
participation opportunities.
•Implementing new laws from the 2022 Legislative Session.
•Processing complex and controversial code compliance cases.
•Processing complex and controversial land use applications and decisions.
•Addressing affordable housing through collaboration with cities, the County’s Property Manager, and exploring
rural strategies.
•Continuing improvement of the department’s website and other electronic internal and external services to
improve efficiencies and service delivery.

Department Overview
The Deschutes County Fair and Expo Center, located on a 320-acre site in Redmond, is the premier facility of its
kind in the Northwest. The Fair and Expo Center is the venue for the annual Deschutes County Fair and the
facility is used for more than 400 events annually with an emphasis on youth, agriculture and community.
The primary purpose of the Fair and Expo Center is to provide social, cultural, recreational, agricultural,
commercial and educational opportunities for the citizens of Deschutes County. Fair and Expo Center staff are
responsible for maintaining 167,000 square feet of exhibit space, 120,000 square feet of covered livestock and
equestrian arenas, 400 horse stalls, and a 105-space RV park complex as well as a four acre county park.
SUCCESSES & CHALLENGES
Significant Accomplishments
•Despite the continued impacts and limitations of COVID 19, Deschutes County Fair & Expo was able to
successfully produce or host many returning and first time events in FY22
FAIR & EXPO CENTER
99
•Successfully produced the 2021 Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo, with phenomenal success. The 2022 event
had highest ever attendance and earnings in virtually all categories
•Continued to play an important role in emergency response as an evacuation center for fires and other local
disasters, as well as a staging area in preparation for incidents.
•Continues to serve as an offsite host facility for the Deschutes County Circuit Court, allowing justice to
continue to be served within our community despite the impacts of COVID 19.
Fiscal Issues
•Fair & Expo continues to work toward development of a long-term capital repair and maintenance plan and
concept funding models to remain the premier facility of its type in the Pacific Northwest.
•Due to the COVID 19 virus, FY 22 forced continued adjustments to facility operations and revenues. These
adjustments required continued event cancellations and/or postponements into the spring of 2022.
•While Deschutes County Fair & Expo remains the premier facility of its type in the Northwest, increasing
maintenance costs and repair and replacement plans will be an ever-growing expense as it continues to age.
Operational Challenges
•While still the premier facility of its type in the Northwest, the Fair & Expo complex is now over 20 years old.
An increase in repair and maintenance items is expected in order to keep the facility both first class and
operational.
◦The Board of Directors of Fair & Expo has created a Buildings & Grounds Subcommittee to focus on capital
projects and a funding mechanism for these projects. Composed of a mixture of Deschutes County Fair &
Expo team members, Board members, community partners, and facility users, this group will be instrumental
in the creation of short and long-term capital projects lists that will provide a safer, more comfortable facility for
thousands of yearly visitors.
▪Repair or replacement of facility items that have reached the end of their useful life; including flooring surfaces
and restrooms in the Three Sisters Conference Center, walking paths, and more.
◦Upgrading the software program that manages the facility's HVAC system.

system, consisting of 900 miles of roadway, of which over 700 miles are paved. The Road Department’s services
include routine road maintenance such as chip sealing and pothole patching, snow and ice control, roadside
vegetation management, capital project development, fleet and equipment maintenance, traffic signing and
striping, bridge maintenance, and emergency response to roadway hazards. The department is made up of the
following divisions and programs:
OPERATIONS DIVISION: Performs road maintenance duties and provides operational response to the
network.
ENGINEERING/SURVEY DIVISION: Delivers capital projects and contracted work. Responsible for traffic
safety program and signage. The Deschutes County Surveyor’s Office is managed within the Engineering/Survey
Division.
FLEET/EQUIPMENT DIVISION: Provides heavy equipment maintenance and light fleet program
administration for the County fleet, including procurement. The Department’s safety program is administered
within the Fleet/Equipment Division.

SUCCESSES & CHALLENGES
Significant Accomplishments
•In FY 22, the Road Department completed its prescribed pavement maintenance program necessary to
sustain the pavement condition index (low 80s) at its existing level. The Road Department completed 80 miles
of chip seal, 9.2 miles of contracted slurry seal and 19.4 miles of contracted paving. Additional chip seal was
performed for the cities of Bend, La Pine, and Sisters.
•The Road Department received $1.24M in COVID Relief Funding from ODOT via the Federal Government.
The Board directed expenditure of these funds to the US 20 bike-ped undercrossing in Tumalo in partnership
with the ODOT-Deschutes County roundabout project at US 20 OB Riley-Cook Avenue.
•Significant capital projects completed in FY 22 include the Rickard Road paving project, east of Bend, and the
Negus-17th Street Reconstruction Project, east of Redmond.
•Significant overlay projects in FY 22 included Cottonwood Road and portions of Hamby Road, Deschutes
Market Road, and Alfalfa Market Road (spring 2022).
•In FY 22, the Road Department initiated project development (design/engineering and/or right-of-way
acquisition) for the Deschutes Market Road/Hamehook Road Roundabout Project, the Powell Butte Highway/
Butler Market Road Roundabout Project, and several bridge replacement projects (Gribbling Road and Wilcox
Road). The Department continued with design finalization and right-of-way acquisition for the Hunnell Road
Project (Loco to Tumalo).
•In FY 22, the Road Department continued with its update to the County’s Transportation System Plan as well
as facilitated an update to the Wastewater Feasibility Study in Terrebonne. The Department also initiated a
similar Wastewater Feasibility Study in the unincorporated community of Tumalo.
Fiscal Issues
•The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a significant revenue reduction associated with reduced travel and
associated fuel purchases, starting in FY 21. In FY 22, the State Highway Fund exceeded State funding
projections and the annual revenue stream to Deschutes County appears to have been restored to pre-
pandemic levels. The estimated $19.5M in revenue via the State Highway Fund for FY 23 will exceed the
budgeted FY 22 Revenue by approximately $2.0M. This revenue projection, provided via ODOT and the AOC
County Road Program,
•In November 2021, the federal government passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which
has been described as a generational investment in infrastructure. IIJA funding will impact the Road
104
Department through formulaic increases in Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) and Secure Rural
Schools (SRS) funding allocations. Primarily IIJA will fund competitive grant programs that will be available to
the Road Department at the state and federal level.
•In June of 2017, the legislature passed a transportation funding package via HB 2017 which provided a 7-
year phase-in of a 10-cent fuel tax increase, in addition to other funding mechanisms. On January 1, 2022,
the second phase of the three-phase fuel tax increase (2-cents per gallon) took effect. The majority of new
revenue will fund the Department’s Capital Improvement Plan projects and other major maintenance projects
within the Road CIP Fund (465).
•The FY 23 Road Department budget has been prioritized to reflect the requisite investment to maintain and
sustain the existing pavement system asset (approximate $500M replacement value). The total FY 23
Pavement Management Program investment of $6.6M is projected to sustain the Pavement Condition Index
(low 80s).
•The FY 23 budget incorporates federal re-authorization of funding ($3.1M total) of the Secure Rural Schools
program and Payment in Lieu of Taxes program.
Operational Challenges
•The most significant operational challenge continues to be delivery of a very aggressive Capital Improvement
Plan with $12.4M of planned expenditures (construction and project development) in FY 23 to be delivered by
the Road Department and $16.7M in cash contribution to ODOT partner projects (Terrebonne and Tumalo).
Proposed expenditures are provided in detail in the Capital Improvement Program (Fund 465) section of the
budget.
◦FY 22, the Road Department has budgeted for a contracted slurry seal on 10+ miles of County Road (local,
residential streets). Slurry Seal is an emulsified asphalt seal coat with fine aggregate and mineral filler that is
functionally in between a parking lot seal coat and a typical chip seal. A slurry seal program will supplement
the chip seal program and provide a high quality pavement preservation treatment for local, low volume
roads.
◦Inflation and supply chain issues will continue to significantly impact Road Department operations. The FY 23
budget will reflect a re-budgeting of equipment that was not able to be purchased in FY 22 due to supply
chain and other availability issues. Inflation has reduced the purchasing power of the Road Fund, as recent
bids and pricing for road construction materials reflect a 15% to 30% increase from prior year cost.
◦The Road Department is making a significant request in personnel in FY 23, primarily in the area of
Transportation Engineering and Surveying. To maintain responsiveness to work load related to growth/
development and establish bench strength related to key services, the Department is requesting the addition
of a a Transportation Engineer, a Transportation Associate, and a Deputy County Surveyor position (fee
revenue supported). Additionally, an Equipment Operator position is also requested to help meet additional
maintenance objectives (stormwater) and operational response.

Department Overview
The Department of Solid Waste manages the solid waste system in Deschutes County. The department’s primary
function is to manage the total system for efficiency, cost control, and conformance to regulatory requirements.
Solid Waste’s programs include:
Landfill Operations: Knott Landfill in Bend provides disposal for all solid waste generated in the County. The
Landfill is expected to reach capacity in 2029.
Transfer Operations: Waste is received from generators at a series of transfer stations located at Knott
Landfill and near the communities of Redmond, Sisters, La Pine, and Alfalfa. Waste is transported from the
transfer stations to Knott Landfill in Bend for disposal.
Franchised Collection: Collection of waste and recyclables from unincorporated Deschutes County and
incorporated La Pine is performed by private companies that are regulated under the County’s franchise
ordinance.
SOLID WASTE

Recycling Services: Recyclables are collected curbside in cities and densely populated areas of the County
by the franchised collectors. Citizens may also deposit recyclables at the transfer stations and recycling depots.
State law dictates required recycling efforts.
System Financing and Administration: The Solid Waste Department conducts long-range planning,
system financing through tip fees, regulation of franchised collection, and ensures compliance with facility permit
requirements and all state and federal regulations associated with solid waste management.
SUCCESSES & CHALLENGES
Significant Accomplishments
•Completed the Negus Transfer Station facility improvement engineering and design documents with
construction slated for FY 2023. A pre-engineered building has been purchased.
•Procured approval for implementing side yard comingle and glass recycling in Sunriver.
•Reconvened the Solid Waste Advisory Committee (SWAC) to assist with the solid waste management facility
(landfill) siting process.
•Secured a contract for rock excavation removal to reduce construction costs for cell 9.
Fiscal Issues
•Cost escalation has impacted the overall Negus Transfer Station facility improvement budget. We are working
to secure long-term financing for the scale facility and transfer station construction. Some aspects of the
original proposed facility will continue to be delayed to future years.
•Larger than anticipated rock in the cell 9 area resulted in costs for cell 9 construction to be above budget. Cell
9 was postponed to FY 2023 to facilitate rock excavation removal at no cost to the County.
Operational Challenges
•Complete a Waste Characterization Study, in partnership with the Department of Environmental Quality
(DEQ), to identify possible areas for increased diversion of recyclables from the landfill.
•New DEQ methane emission rules will require changes to facility operations and monitoring programs.
•Continue efforts in identifying a new solid waste management facility (landfill) site.

Department Overview
Deschutes County Health Services (DCHS) provides public health and behavioral health programs and services
that benefit residents county-wide. The department includes more than 350 employees across ten sites, working
in a diverse range of programs within the Director’s Office and three service areas: Public Health, Behavioral
Health, and Administrative Services.
PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE AREA: Works to keep the community healthy and safe by striving to improve
and protect the health of people in Deschutes County. This work includes: disease prevention, surveillance and
control; food and consumer safety; assuring clean and safe drinking water; ensuring access to essential health
services; providing education about healthy lifestyles; implementing strategies to reduce and prevent high-risk
behaviors among youth; and responding to pandemics and emerging threats, outbreaks and other events. Public
Health provides these services through the following programs:
▪Access to Preventive Health Services and Supports: Works to prevent, detect, and treat illness early to
improve health outcomes for the county’s most vulnerable persons. Services include:
◦Reproductive Health Clinic—Well Woman exams, family planning, cervical cancer prevention and
early intervention, and STD testing and treatment;

•Prevention and Health Promotion: Works with community to assess needs, gaps and strengths in order to
prioritize and create conditions that equitably improve health and well-being for all.
•Public Health Administration and Emergency Preparedness: Provides leadership, management and oversight
for local public health programs and services. Works to diversify and leverage resources to meet public
health needs, and assure the effective and efficient use of resources. Prepares for and responds to
emergency events and threats affecting the health of the public.
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICE AREA: Behavioral Health programs and services help improve
outcomes for Deschutes County residents with serious mental health and/or substance use disorders, and
intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. Priority populations for behavioral health services include Oregon
Health Plan (OHP) members, the uninsured, and persons in crisis. These services also coordinate with integrated
primary care providers to promote health and recovery and can prevent more costly care and interventions.
Services include:
•Crisis Services: Provides 24/7 rapid response and stabilization to individuals experiencing mental health
crises and at risk for hospitalization, as well as forensic diversion services.
•Access & Integration Services: Conducts behavioral health screening, assessment, and referral services that
connect individuals seeking mental health or substance use disorder services with appropriate treatment
resources, as well as oversees integration projects, such as coordination of physical healthcare and
psychiatry into core services.
124
•Adult Intensive Services: Serves adults with serious and persistent mental illness, including outpatient and
community-based services, primary care integration, and specialty services: homeless outreach, harm
reduction, rental assistance, and supported employment.
•Comprehensive Care for Youth and Families: Provides programs that work with children, families and young
adults struggling with serious mental illness and/or substance use disorders.
•Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities (I/DD): Provides support for this population to live as
independently as possible in the least restrictive environment. Services facilitate greater access to social
interaction, community engagement, and employment opportunities.
•Outpatient Comprehensive Care: Provides services to adults, children, and families struggling with mental
health and substance use disorder in community-based hub locations integrated with primary care, as well as
mediation services for separating and divorcing parents of minors.
•Behavioral Health Administration and Front Office: Provides leadership and support for Behavioral Health

facilities management and safety, workforce development, and compliance and quality assurance including
compliance with local, state, federal, and professional standards.
•Business Intelligence: Provides direction, support, and analytics related to departmental fiscal and operational
needs, including billing, credentialing, fiscal, and contract services, as well as project management and
strategic planning.
SUCCESSES AND CHALLENGES
Significant Accomplishments
•Public Health responded to the COVID-19 global pandemic, and helped keep the community safe by
deploying much of its workforce to assist with response efforts. During the fall of 2021, an internal audit of the
efficiency and effectiveness of case investigation and contact tracing operations found that Deschutes
County’s COVID-19 Response Team sustained higher level of cases during surges and responded more
timely than other counties. The COVID-19 response by Public Health was supported by the Behavioral
Health and Administrative Services divisions as well as other County departments/offices.
•Public Health launched Healthy Schools at Bend Senior and La Pine High Schools. The Healthy Schools
program provides service in prevention planning to address school, student and family needs; suicide
prevention education and teacher coaching; substance use screenings and referrals to interventions;
coordination between school and health care services; education about student health needs and resources
available to families, school staff, and community partners. This is one of the County’s largest public health
investments in recent years.
•Public Health is expanding Public Health Modernization programming, both locally and regionally. Public
Health identified service gaps, including environmental hazard response, data analysis, congregate setting
125
outbreak response and education. Furthermore, Public Health is improving its understanding of impacts of
environmental threats, including wildfires and smoke, excessive heat, drought, and vector-borne
communicable disease in order to assist the community to better respond and adapt to environmental
conditions.
•Behavioral Health offered 24/7 Deschutes County Stabilization Center (DCSC) services for a second
(pandemic) year. During 2021, the DCSC served 1,860 individuals; facilitated 398 law enforcement drop offs;
and diverted 208 individuals from the emergency department. Law enforcement time at the center reduced
from an average of 5.7 minutes (2020) to 4.6 minutes (2021). Twenty-five percent (461) of those served
made use of 23-hour respite and 2% (37 people) reported they would have died by suicide without DCSC
intervention. The DCSC is a resounding success, serving a highly vulnerable population and diverting many
individuals from higher level, more costly and less therapeutic environments. As such, it gained recognition
and attention of state and national entities that look to the DCSC as a model for crisis services.
•Behavioral Health continued to implement the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) model
by providing behavioral health services in coordination with primary care. Community members served
showed improved quality of life across multiple domains, including: reduced depression; improved
hypertension and diabetes control for a focus population; increased connection with primary care; improved
coping skills for crisis and improved connection to community. In addition, CCBHC services expanded to
especially vulnerable populations such as unhoused individuals, non-English speakers, persons in acute
psychiatric crisis and our Aid & Assist population. Finally, CCBHC integration forged the relationships with
medical providers, which turned out to be central to navigating the COVID-19 pandemic.
•This year, the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) program focused on targeted improvements
in key areas. I/DD added two full-time Adult Abuse Investigators to improve capacity to conduct thorough and
timely investigations across the Tri-County region by formal Memorandum of Understanding. In addition, in
order to better understand the specific needs of I/DD customers and to target expanded services, I/DD
implemented “exit surveys” to provide an opportunity for feedback immediately following encounters.
Fiscal Issues
•DCHS provides many “safety-net” services for the community, which are often required by statute but
unbillable or uncollectible. DCHS relies heavily upon grantors to fund its operations, which is a funding model
that is highly vulnerable to economic, political, and social changes at the federal, state, and local government
levels. This leaves DCHS with the fiscal challenge of maintaining a (current) service level the community
relies upon with funding sources that are susceptible to changes in policy. DCHS has prepared a requested
budget that will maintain its current services.
•COVID-19 response and recovery continued to be a focal point of Public Health efforts. In FY 22, funding to
support continued efforts came from federal and local funds, and included $1.1 million in FEMA funds, $1.4
million in state and local funds, approval of $300 thousand in American Rescue Plan Act funds to support 3
positions through June 2023 and $2.4 million in temporary contract staff for the County’s call center, testing,
and outreach efforts.
•Oregon Health Authority awarded DCHS Public Health $2.15 million for Public Health Modernization
programming for the FY 2022-2023 biennium. This is an increase of $1.2 million over the FY 2020-2021
award. The increased funding will fund 4.0 new positions for both local and regional Modernization efforts, as
well as supporting 5.2 FTE existing positions.
126
•DCHS Behavioral Health negotiated a case rate for fidelity Wraparound services to high-risk youth. The FY
23 budget includes a $1 million in revenue, which DCHS estimates will be generated annually. This revenue
will sustain the positions added via a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA) System
of Care grant set to toll in August 2024.
•The Oregon legislature came through with significant investments in behavioral health workforce, crisis
services, behavioral health rates, treatment housing and other key areas of unmet need. Adding to that,
DCHS Behavioral Health successfully established workforce incentives that will help to stabilize and recruit
excellent staff. The FY 23 budget includes stipends to incentivize coverage of crisis shifts and an incentive
for Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor (CADC) certification, which increases substance use disorder
service capacity and workforce retention.
•During FY 22, DCHS successfully negotiated a contract with PacificSource, the Coordinated Care
Organization (CCO), which adds a per member per month stipend for the tri-county Oregon Health Plan
enrollment for the Stabilization Center. DCHS estimates an additional $500,000 during FY 23 for this critical
service.
Operational Challenges
•As the need for health services expands with Deschutes County’s growing population, facility space continues
to be a departmental challenge. DCHS has attempted to keep up with this growing need by working with the
Facilities Department and Property Management to remodel existing facilities, purchase new facilities, and
rent additional properties. In the coming years, this will continue to be a challenge.
•Public Health remains vulnerable to restrictive and unpredictable funding. COVID-19 short term funding
addressed some chronic gaps. As part of ongoing investment in the community, It is critical that public health
maintains a core team prepared to respond to ongoing crises and emergencies, including disease outbreaks,
wildfire, droughts, and excessive cold/heat.
•Workforce is the single greatest challenge of FY 22. Exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, difficulty
keeping pace with private sector wages, the ‘great resignation’ phenomenon occurring nationally, and the
local housing market, it is taking much longer, if at all, to fill critical positions. Programs, such as the Crisis
and Access programs, as well as specialty areas—the health officer, epidemiologists, nurses—experienced
periods of extreme difficulty filling key roles. This increased the stress of an already stressed workforce
contributed to not meeting Behavioral Health access to care timelines for the first time in years.
•The COVID-19 pandemic and societal polarization impact the community’s confidence and trust in
government and Public Health services and programs. Continuing to build public trust and strengthen
community engagement, with a lens on equity and inclusion, remain major priorities.
•Affordable, safe and available housing continues to be a challenge for Deschutes County and is especially
problematic for behavioral health clients who may have a poor rental record, outstanding debt, and/or a
history of legal system involvement. The absence of stable housing is a significant barrier to successful
treatment outcomes and poses challenges for maintaining high acuity individuals in the community and
addressing lack of access to secure treatment beds in the community or at the Oregon State Hospital. This
phenomenon is amplified by the growing Aid & Assist population and the difficulty maintaining residential
providers for both Behavioral Health and I/DD during the pandemic.

Department Overview
The County Commissioners are the elected representatives of the citizens of Deschutes County. The Board of
County Commissioners (BOCC) is the policy making body of the County and is comprised of three
commissioners.
The Board’s duties include executive, judicial (quasi-judicial) and legislative authority over policy matters of
county-wide concern. To implement policy and manage day-to-day operations, the Board appoints a County
Administrator and a County Legal Counsel. Additionally, the Board is the governing body for the Sunriver, 9-1-1,
Extension/4-H and the Black Butte Ranch Service Districts.
The Board takes a lead role in working with the Oregon State Legislature and Oregon’s U.S. Congressional
delegation. Inter-jurisdictional work also takes place in cooperation with the governing bodies in the four cities
located in Deschutes County (Bend, Redmond, Sisters and La Pine) and other regional governments in
addressing matters of mutual concern.

feet to allow the County to expand services and serve residents in the surrounding communities.
•Completed the sale of 1.14-acre County-owned property at NE 27th and NE Conners Avenue in Bend to
Housing Works. The development of this property will provide for an approximate 30 to 40 affordable housing
units as well as clinical space on the ground floor for Mosaic Medical for vulnerable populations needing quick

debris continues to increase. The cost to complete organized encampment cleanups would be substantial.
138
Operational Challenges
•Upcoming organizational transitions including hiring a new Health Services Director and Chief Financial
Officer.
•Maintaining Veterans' Services office wait times at the targeted 10-days or less; preparing to reopen satellite
offices; and expanding outreach services in the community.

beyond capacity. Staff are routinely triaging to manage day-to-day, tackle special projects and provide support
and execute initiatives as requested by the Board. Property Management is requesting one new FTE to help
create a sustainable structure.

Department Overview
The Finance Department manages all financial activities of the County including annual budget coordination,
financial planning, internal and external financial reporting, general accounting, payroll, capital asset records,
distribution of property taxes to all taxing districts, cash management and investments, dog licensing and
administration, collection and administration of the transient room tax and administration of the County’s long-term
debt.
SUCCESSES & CHALLENGES
Significant Accomplishments
•Implemented the ability to receive property tax statements and dog licensing renewals online. This eliminates
mailing costs, no lost or misdirected mail, allows the customer to receive their statement sooner, and gives
them the direct link to pay online.
•Added the ability for dog owners to license their new pets online with no more need to send rabies certificates
and paper checks through the mail. This made the process less cumbersome for customers and cuts down
the time for them to receive their tag.
•The County implemented a new software to administer the County’s lodging tax in July of 2021. This system
has been a big improvement as it locates properties that are being advertised on various media which allows
the County to get them registered quickly and will also track if the advertisement is in compliance in listing the
Certificate of Authority number on the ad. The system also requires each property manager to file by property
address so the County can break out the revenues by area with more clarity.
•During September 2021, the County entered into a financing agreement to refund the callable maturities of
the County’s outstanding Full Faith and Credit Refunding Obligations, Series 2012, resulting in County
savings of approximately $1.4 million in interest. County contributions during FY22 included: $521,000 to pay
off callable principal balance of the refunded obligations related to the County’s La Pine Sewer project;
$158,000 to pay off accrued interest; and $52,000 for costs of issuance. The County entered into Full Faith
and Credit Refunding Financing Agreement, Series 2021 for $15,325,000, interest of 1.4%, matures June 30,
2023.
•During April 2022, the County purchased DebtBook, a debt and lease management software, to ensure
financial reporting compliance with GASB 87- Leases, effective for fiscal year ending June 30, 2022. The new
software will be fully implemented by August 2022 and allow the Finance team and other County departments
to expedite financial reporting while also improving access to debt and lease data for budgeting, board
decisions, rate and fee setting processes, and financial planning for future projects.
Fiscal Issues
•With the increase in the number of new property tax accounts each year as well as the increasing number of
transient room tax accounts over the past couple of years, the Tax Office needs one additional FTE to be able
to maintain compliance of the TRT program and added workload for property tax.
•With the increased cost of living in Deschutes County and increasing mortgage rates, many tax payers may
be impacted which could result in more delinquent taxes or foreclosures.
152
Operational Challenges
•Continue to improve efficiencies in the administration of the TRT program, if staffing allows. The TRT program
needs to develop new workflow protocols coordinating efforts with Community Development to identify
properties with unlawful ADU’s in the initial registration process.
•Review and update the Transient Room Tax Ordinance to better align with the State’s third party intermediary
requirements.
•The County, in cooperation with all Departments, Offices and Unions, plans to implement a transition plan to
correct lag time in payroll by aligning the time collection period with the pay period. Currently, the County
advance-pays employees for the estimated work between the 22nd and the end of the month (minus any
overtime worked). This introduces untimely payments of overtime wages to employees. The payday will
remain the last working day (non-holiday) of the month. The new time collection period will be the 22nd of the
month until the 21st of the next month. Pay will no longer be projected from the 21st to the end of the month.
This will result in all OT pay being paid in the correct pay period. The County’s goal is to have the alignment
completed by April 2023.

Department Overview
The Deschutes County 9-1-1 Service District operates the County’s designated Public Safety Answering Point
(PSAP). It is the only consolidated communications center for all local public safety agencies in Deschutes
County, including police, fire and medical emergency response personnel.
The District-operated PSAP answers and dispatches all emergency and non-emergency calls for 14 local public
safety agencies and also dispatches US Forest Service Law Enforcement personnel. In addition, 9-1-1
dispatchers are trained and certified to give lifesaving emergency medical instructions to callers until emergency
responders arrive.

DESCHUTES COUNTY 9-1-1
173
Fiscal Issues
•Most of the Districts revenue comes from property taxes. The maximum levy rate is 42.5 cents per thousand
dollars of Taxable Assessed Value (TAV). For FY 2023, and for the seventh year in a row, the District is
keeping its levy rate at 36.18 cents per $1,000 of TAV; the same rate as the total of the two rates in place
before the May 2017 permanent funding ballot measure was passed. The Districts remaining revenue comes
mainly from 9-1-1 telephone taxes and user fees charged to agencies outside Deschutes County that contract
for 9-1-1 and dispatch services. Additional revenue is also received from some user agencies for technical
support where the aggregation of services under the District is more efficient and saves money.
Capital projects included in the FY 23 budget are:
•Continued improvements/long-term enhancements on the digital trunked radio system.
•Interior office and exterior shop mezzanine remodel projects.
•Continued work on completion of 9-1-1 Back-Up Center in North County.
Operational Challenges
•Continued progress on the long-term radio system enhancement plan to include operational deployment of
multiple new radio tower sites throughout the county as well as back up radio system enhancements.
•Continued yearly software upgrades and refinement of the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system to ensure
it meets the expectations and needs of 9-1-1 and 14 user agencies utilizing the system.
•Finding success with recruitment and retention efforts with an extreme shortage of qualified applicants as well
as continually departing workforce.
•Supply chain delays of necessary hardware and other products necessary for project completion.

District Overview
Extension embodies Oregon State University’s (OSU) outreach mission by engaging with people and
communities to create positive impacts on livability, economic vitality, natural resource sustainability, and the
health and well-being of people. Based on these positive impacts, the OSU Extension Service is recognized as
one of America’s top five Land-Grant University Extension systems.
OSU Extension Service was established in 1911 when the Oregon Agricultural College’s Board of Regents
organized Oregon Extension programs. Federal passage of the Smith-Lever Act in 1914 created the Cooperative
Extension Service nationwide. This act established the funding mechanism to provide federal, state and county
funds to support extension programs in every county in the United States. In Deschutes County, the OSU
Extension Service was established in 1916. In 1982, county residents passed a permanent tax base to support
local extension programming.The following OSU Extension programs are offered in Deschutes County:
4-H YOUTH DEVELOPMENT: Helps young people to learn and thrive through a process of positive youth
development that has proven outcomes of academic motivation and success, a reduction in risky behavior,
healthier choices, social competence, and connection and contribution to others. Areas of interest include animal

JUNTOS: (Meaning “together” in Spanish) works to empower Latino students and families around education.
Uniting with community partners, we provide culturally relevant programming for 8-12th grade students with their
families. Juntos is designed to provide participants with knowledge, skills, and resources to prevent Latino youth
from dropping out of high school, and empower families to reach their post-secondary education goals. The OSU
Juntos program has served over 5,000 families since 2012 in over 50 schools throughout 34 communities in
Oregon with student participants exceeding a 90% graduation rate and post-secondary participation. In Central
Oregon there are 15 partner schools through Crook, Jefferson, and Deschutes County.
AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES & NATURAL RESOURCES: Provides education, support and
assistance to local residents, businesses and industry in horticulture, including home gardening, landscaping and
weed, disease and insect problems, small farm operations, and animal science and livestock management.
SMALL FARMS AND SPECIALTY CROPS: The Small Farms and Specialty Crops Program supports
the development of sustainable agriculture in Central Oregon, with a focus on small-scale commercial horticulture
and high value specialty crops. Based on needs assessment, local interest, and capacity, research and Extension
programs in the area are focused on three main areas: 1) soil and nutrient management; 2) cover crops; and 3)
innovative production in the high desert.
FORESTRY & NATURAL RESOURCES: Serves small property owners, natural resource professionals,
logging operators, and the public by offering research-based resources and education related to tree
establishment, forest health, fire and fuels reduction, timber and non-timber forest products, wildlife habitat
enhancement and other topics related to the stewardship of private and public lands.
FAMILY & COMMUNITY HEALTH: Provides education and information about nutrition, shopping and food
preparation, food safety and preservation, disaster preparedness, financial management, parenting, planning for
healthy retirement, aging well and safety and accidental injury prevention.
SNAP-ED (SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM EDUCATION)
NUTRITION EDUCATION PROGRAM: This program is predominantly funded by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS). It is the nutrition education and obesity prevention
component of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). The goal of SNAP-Ed is to improve the
likelihood that persons eligible for SNAP will make healthy food choices within a limited budget and choose
physically active lifestyles consistent with the current Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The Deschutes County
program supports this goal by providing evidence-based educational programming, using social marketing, and
supporting or implementing policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) changes that affect the food and activity
environments where people live, learn, work and play.
SUCCESSES & CHALLENGES
Significant Accomplishments
•Nearly 600 youth and 150 adult volunteers were engaged in club based positive youth development activities
which include: project(s) of interest, education, community service and involvement, relevant science,
178
technology, engineering, and math activities, as well as a variety of other life skill and work force preparation
skills like record keeping, public speaking, interviewing, responsibility, accountability, leadership, teamwork,
sportsmanship and character development.
•Even in this COVID year (and “Ending COVID” environment), innovative options were utilized and combined
with traditional opportunities to deliver engaging and hands on opportunities for youth in our community.
While project specific education continued in a variety of delivery systems, focus continues to be placed on
keeping youth engaged in hands on and physical activity opportunities of interest.
•Deschutes County 4-H returned to a county fair culmination. While fair was different than pre-COVID, the
opportunity to have in-person competition and fun was very welcomed and appreciated.
•Deschutes County 4-H continues to provide opportunities to all youth, ages 5 - 19, regardless of their ability to
pay. This also means at times we provide equipment so participants have quality internet service, computers,
IPads and/or other necessary access to technology whenever possible.
•OSU Extension, including a Deschutes County/Central Oregon Team continues to partner with the Oregon
Bee Atlas as part of the statewide endeavor Oregon Bee project. Members collect bees throughout the
region, identify native and other bees currently present. Oregon State University taxonomists view each
specimen in order to accurately identify, preserve and ultimately share important information and educate the
public about native bees, including their care, protection, food and habitat. These collections help future
research determine bee losses and gains by region. OSU and Bee Project members also provide a native
bee catalog, curate, inventory and distribute the information through Oregon State arthropod collection, ODA,
foresters, and others.
•The Forestry and Natural Resources program reaches nearly 1,500 landowners, forestry professionals and
other clients annually through educational workshops, field tours, site visits, and the quarterly Life on the Dry
Side newsletter.
•The Forestry and Natural Resources program faculty offers facilitation and leadership to the Deschutes
Collaborative Forest Project, important community multi-stakeholder groups working together to make
landscape restoration recommendations to our public forest managers. These recommendations reduce the
likelihood that forest management proposals come to litigation, and help increase the pace and scale of forest
restoration, which leads to increased forest health, wildlife habitat, local forestry and tourism jobs, and
reduced chance of catastrophic wildfire. These two faculty positions also partner with key local government
groups and the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council to spur conversation around natural hazard
mitigation plans, community wildfire protection, biomass and wood products innovation and potential
infrastructure investments in the region.
•Food preservation questions skyrocketed this year as many people stayed home during the pandemic and
took up new or revived old interests. Zoom in on Food Preservation classes were offered with morning,
afternoon and evening sessions in the fall. Master Food Preserver (MFP) volunteers helped in new ways. The
2020 resource awareness project, Preserve Food Safely, continues to have regular visits by clients. https://
beav.es/PreserveFoodSafely
•Educational modules to help Oregon residents and guests become aware and prepared for the Cascadia
Subduction Zone Event was opened in March 2020. The Spanish course was completed in August, 2021. The
free, online course also includes an additional training module for Extension professionals and volunteers;
emergency/disaster agency and organization professionals and volunteers; and neighborhood leaders to help
them prepare for community or leadership roles. The project was leveraged through a $65,000 federal grant.
A social media campaign drove over 14,000 people to view the English and Spanish resources at the updated
179
OSU Extension Webpage. Course registration doubled and supplemental materials had thousands of views/
downloads. https://beav.es/cascadiaprepare
•The High Speed Hand Washing (HSHW) method has been taught in youth nutrition education classes since
2006. Food safety is reinforced in classrooms where students can get their hands washed in 5 minutes or
less. HSHW also helps save time, money, energy and prevents risk of spreading disease. Some new
audiences were added during the pandemic. Posters, training guides and training videos were developed in
English and Spanish with COVID-19 precautions for migrant and seasonal workers on farms or in food
processing or packinghouses as well as childcare providers, preschool teachers and education pod leaders.
https://beav.es/HighSpeedHandWashing
•SNAP-Ed Educators delivered programming to several school sites together with community partners
teaching classes to large numbers of youth in Bend, Redmond and La Pine. Due to continued COVID-19
restrictions, Educators taught virtual classes to families with young children and countless physical activities.
Electronic materials were shared with the school district and partners.
•Small farms and specialty crop education happened in a variety of ways in response to changing
opportunities, including webinars, virtual and in-person field tours.
•Work is completed on the “Small Farms Research Station” in Alfalfa, where two high tunnels were
constructed. This research station allowed for the first replicated berry research trial in the region. The trial
compares four varieties of strawberries and raspberries, and their production in high tunnels vs. the open
field. Information continues to be analyzed to best serve local farmers in an effort to guide decision making to
determine if berry production can be a profitable business venture, and whether high tunnels are a worthwhile
investment for berry production.
•The permanent tax rate for the Extension/4-H Service District will be primarily used to fund 2.0 FTE
administrative support positions, 1.0 FTE 4-H Program Assistant and .80 Small Farms and Horticulture
Instructor. County resources also support operations such as building and grounds maintenance, program
delivery expenses and office supplies.
•A large part of funding for the OSU Extension Service in Deschutes County is derived from state higher
education resources, which support faculty salaries. Public and private grants, program fees and contributions
support specific program delivery. In addition, community volunteers and businesses contribute for specific
programs offered by the OSU Extension Service.
•While the COVID years have provided unique challenges, OSU has continued to offer programming,
education, and opportunities utilizing a variety of technology. Whether working from our office or from our
homes, faculty has adapted to technology, implemented virtual education and programming and have worked
diligently to continue to connect with and meet the needs of our community.
Operational Challenges
•Deschutes County 4-H continues to operate without a full time OSU 4-H Faculty. (Coming April 11, 2022)
Leadership of the 4-H program by the former 4-H Educator and current statewide animal science coordinator
as 30% of her current job duties will soon become a smaller mentoring role. 4-H is a thriving and important
program to OSU Extension and Deschutes County and managing it with reduced staff is difficult.
•The majority of our staff has returned from home offices to on site work offices. Staff is utilizing their new
technology skills and combined opportunities to return to in-person education, on-site learning, and best
practices for meeting community needs.

Tax Specialist
Description and Itemized Costs
Hire a 1.0 FTE to the Tax Office to help administer the Transient
Room Tax (TRT) program and its compliance as well as increased
workload from the County's population growth and the steady
increase in number of property tax accounts each year.
Describe Specific Personnel
Needs
A full-time position will handle the increase in property accounts, tax
roll changes, and TRT. TRT administration and compliance have
never been adequately staffed. With the new TRT software, our
accounts are being reported by property which has increased our
total number of accounts by 2,300 since July of 2021. Most of the
backfill in workload was being done by the Deputy Tax Collector
outside of regular hours.

Justification
The County is growing by approximately 1,200 tax accounts per year. The TRT revenue has increased
dramatically over the past few years, and with our new TRT software, we have added 2,300 properties. The
County's population continues to grow, and the Tax Office has not added any new positions in ten years. The
Tax Office has also changed in that it now administers the TRT program and Dog Licensing in addition to
collecting property taxes. The department has tried to maximize staff time by cross-training employees and
utilizing technology for online processes. The CFO has set a goal to reduce the Deputy Tax Collector to 50
hours/week since she's been working in excess of this. Compared to several other counties of similar size,
Deschutes County is understaffed by 1-1.5 FTE, not including the administration of the TRT program.

Justification
The Office of National Drug Policy Overdose Detection Mapping Application Program, used across the U.S. by
first responder agencies as a standardized overdose surveillance platform, reported that opioid overdoses
increased by 18% in March 2020 compared to 2019, by 29% in April 2020, and 42% in May 2020, compared to
data from 2019. Oregon Health Authority reports the State of Oregon experienced a 70% rise in overdose
deaths during April and May of 2020, compared to the same two months in 2019. While 2021 data is not final,
initial data is that overdose rates remain high and Deschutes County is experiencing a crisis in overdose and
overdose deaths commensurate with Oregon and national rates.
The staff in this position has worked extensively to coordinate the Health Services response to the overdose
crisis and works closely with the Harm Reduction, Homeless Outreach and Substance Use Disorder serving staff
to help reduce overdose risk in the county. With the transition of harm reduction services to Behavioral Health
Service from Public Health, there is a need to add this position—previously funded with COVID dollars needed
for the COVID Response—to Behavioral Health. This position is currently included in the Measure 110 grant
application for Deschutes County and represents a key role in the Harm Reduction Program portion of that
application.

Justification
Health Services is experiencing difficulty in recruiting for the newly approved Public Health Modernization
positions listed above with one exception—the Admin Assistant, which was previously filled. To date, only one
position has been filled, of which it received three applicants and two were internal. The two Public Health Nurse
II positions have been posted for two months, and have not received a single applicant. This lack of applicants is
unprecedented for Deschutes County Public Health, which historically receives a surplus of applicants. One of
the biggest concerns brought to our attention by applicants and Central Oregon partners is that these positions
are listed as “limited duration” and will end on June 30, 2023. They felt this was a drawback for getting
applicants and in order to be more successful in recruitment, converting them to “regular” will help draw qualified
applicants.
Further, the department believes the local and regional Public Health Modernization funding is stable and may
increase. On March 23, 2022, a representative from the Office of the State Public Health Officer told Deschutes
County Health Services, “For budget planning purposes I would assume level funding based on your 2021-2023
allocations.” With this, we are confident the funding for these positions will continue at current levels beyond
216
June 2023. Deschutes County has been funded for Public Health Modernization for nearly five years, and this
funding has been highly supported by the Legislature in the Oregon Health Authority budget. Statewide, Public
Health Modernization was a $5 million investment in the 2018-2019 biennium, $15 million in 2020-2021, and
currently $45 million, demonstrating the progression of the desire to fund needed Public Health programs.

Describe Specific Personnel
Needs
FACT Peer: This position provides intensive outreach, engagement
and support to high-risk individuals involved with the Court and
under civil commitment until they are restored to capacity to Aid and
Assist (A&A) in their own court proceedings. Added in 2020 through
the IMPACTS grant, the department intended to convert it from
limited duration to regular with the other Crisis Program staff and
inadvertently missed it in the process. The position provides critical
work on the Forensic Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) Team.
FACT provides mandated services to the A&A population, which has
increased over 400% in Deschutes County since 2018.
Behavioral Health Access & Integration (A&I) Manager: This position
is central to oversight of Behavioral Health’s CCBHC Integration
Projects. This role manages the Access Team, the Behavioral
Health Admin Services Team and is the liaison to our Medical,
Health Information Technology (HIT), Continuous Quality Assurance
(CQA) Teams and all other clinical teams. The manager in this role
ensures behavioral health access for the community and
implementation of key system improvement efforts, primarily
CCBHC, but also Rapid Engagement, Training Committee, Trauma
Informed Care, and other key projects. This is not a new manager
position, but rather restores a manager role left vacant in 2018 and
filled in a limited duration capacity in FY 2022. It is a critical role to
ensure quality of efforts across the behavioral health service area
and appropriate reporting ratios for a management team stretched to
capacity.
Access & Integration Admin Support Specialist: This position
provides key administrative support to the A&I Manager and to the
workgroups, projects and grant activities assigned to that manager.

Like the position above, this was a position added in a limited
duration capacity in FY 2022. As behavioral health staffing and
projects have only grown in the last year, this support position is
critical to ensure capacity of the manager and teams assigned, and
to ensure smooth implementation of activities.
Justification
These positions are critical. The FACT Peer provides mandated services to a rapidly growing population of high
risk individuals involved with the Courts. The two CCBHC positions reflect the increasing importance of CCBHC
efforts in the long-term sustainability of behavioral health services. Given the legislature’s increased focus on
CCBHCs and the mandate to evaluate the effectiveness of these programs (2021 legislative session), it is critical
that Deschutes County Health Services has this project assigned the appropriate leadership and supports.
The positions in this request are currently filled with highly effective staff already carrying out the duties central to
the activities described. Ongoing funding to support the positions is secure. Currently, the agreement with the
Coordinated Care Organization and Oregon Health Plan enrollment is leading to capitation and fees to cover the
expense of these positions. Should capitation decrease, CCBHC prospective payment revenue is available to
cover the cost. CCBHC revenue is available for the foreseeable future (currently through September 2023), and
there continues to be strong ongoing federal and state support for CCBHCs, including the OHA hiring permanent
staff to support CCBHCs this year and the President’s specific inclusion of CCBHCs in his proposed mental
health investments. In addition, CCBHCs have enjoyed bi-partisan support since project inception and that
remains the case to date.
Finally, Deschutes County has grown 25% since the last census, and this rate of growth is unlikely to slow in the
near term. The Medicaid service population has also grown (~20%) since 2020. These phenomena increase
the demand for behavioral health access, for close management of high-risk populations such as A&A and those
served by CCBHCs, and for rigorous oversight of key service improvement initiatives. Having regular staff in
these roles increases the ability to retain the excellent staff performing these duties today.
Funding Source
Funds will come from a mixture of capitation and Aid and Assist funds (SE 04).

Justification
Health Services Fiscal Staff Remains at 2.0 FTE for 20 Years Despite Significant Departmental Growth.
The department’s budget and staffing has more than doubled in the last twenty years, yet the Fiscal team has
remained at 2.0 regular FTE since that time. The department added 1.0 FTE during Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 and
FY 2018, and later eliminated, as CCBHC continuation was unclear; however, the additional workload of
CCBHC has remained yet without the additional staffing in the Fiscal team. As part of the response and
workload associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the County approved a 1.0 FTE Administrative Support
Specialist with Oregon Health Authority COVID-19 funds that is limited duration through June 30, 2023 to
provide administrative support to the Fiscal team. The department requests this position convert to regular to
maintain support to the department given the substantial growth over the last twenty years.
Originally 1.0 FTE supported all financial and payroll transactions for Public Health and 1.0 FTE supported all
financial and payroll transactions for Behavioral Health. Since combining the two divisions, duties have shifted
and combined for a more balanced workload between the two regular fiscal team members. The Fiscal team
has done a remarkable job in identifying efficiencies and leveraging technology in order to absorb the substantial
growth. The three biggest areas of responsibility the Fiscal team supports are: Accounts Payable invoice
processing, Purchase Card transactions, and Payroll review. The Admin Support Specialist position requested
directly supports two of those tasks and frees up time for the Senior Accounting Technicians to review the
third—Payroll.
Accounts Payable invoice processing improved 32% with addition of Admin Support Specialist:
•FY20 (2 FTE) – the average time to enter and process an invoice for our department was 17.46 days
•FY22 (3 FTE) – the average time to enter and process an invoice is 11.84 days, a 32% improvement
This is the primary responsibility of the Admin Specialist on the Fiscal team. Before the addition of the position,
the department was at times 8+ weeks behind on entering and paying invoices, including employee
reimbursements. Health Services can now turn invoices around in less than two weeks and prioritize employee
220
reimbursements so employees are not impacted by paying out of pocket and waiting months to be paid back.
Timeliness in invoice entry and processing directly correlates to positive relationships with our
vendors/contractors and improves employee satisfaction when reimbursement requests are processed in a
timely manner.
Purchase Card transactions increased 112% in three years, and Health able to process due to the addition of
Admin Support Specialist:
•FY20 (2 FTE) – our department had 11 purchase cards averaging 61.75 transactions total per month or about
31 transactions for each Fiscal staff member to reconcile
•FY22 (3 FTE) – our department has 28 purchase cards averaging 197.7 transactions total per month or about
66 transactions for each Fiscal staff member to reconcile
This is the second most significant area of support for the Admin Specialist. Despite the 112% increase in
transactions, we have been able to submit reconciliation to the Finance department on time every month since
the addition of the third FTE. Previously we were 5-10 days late almost every month. Our department
possesses the most amount of purchase cards and has the highest number of transactions of any other
department in the County.
This position is critical to maintaining a manageable workload on the Fiscal Team and keeping reasonable
turnaround times with the financial/payroll transactional work the team is responsible for performing. There
would be noticeable and detrimental impact to the department and our employees, vendors, contractors, and
interdepartmental relationships if this position maintains its limited duration status and ends in FY23.
Funding Source
Funding Source: During FY2023, the position is supported through Oregon Health Authority COVID funds
(PE01-09 and PE01-10). In FY2024 and beyond, the position will be an indirect cost to departmental programs.

Reorg plan: reclassify Admin Support Tech to Assistant VSO so they can assist with more claims preparation.
Then have the Admin Support Tech do the phones, scheduling, file scanning and uploading. This will allow
having the two positions back each other up.

recommendation resulted from an analysis completed by Prosecutor Center for Excellence which analyzed both

adequately serve the needs of the office and meet the needs of crime victims. This FTE was requested during
the FY22 budget cycle, but the committee asked that Victims Assistance explore additional efficiencies that
could be utilized within the department’s documentation system. An analysis was done by PbK to review
Deschutes County’s processes and PbK determined that we are using the system as efficiently as possible,
given its current design. This FTE is needed to meet current needs of the office and finish implementing the
recommendations from PCE.

In previous fiscal years, the Behavioral Health Front Office operated at six building locations in three cities with
11 FTE. In FY 2021, however, the Behavioral Health Front Office operated with only 10 FTE due to the
relocation of a position to support a new program in Behavioral Health. The department experimented with this
staffing model, attempting to use on-call and other supports to make the new staffing model work. This
consistently resulted in unplanned cascading operational challenges, leaving other clinics short-staffed as staff
were sourced from other clinic locations to support the main Courtney Clinic. In order to mitigate this in FY
2023, the department requests 1.0 FTE Administrative Services Technician in order to re-establish a team of 11
FTE.

Describe Specific Personnel

A full-time Health Officer position with temporary COVID-19 funds
was approved in FY 22. However, its recruitment proved difficult
and in January 2022, Dr. Conway was assigned to serve in that
role and provide medical and clinical support to the community
and organization. Nevertheless, given the size of our county,
growing nature of clinical/medical complexities, unsuccessful
attempts to recruit a part-time and later full-time Health Officer with
temporary COVID-19 funds, Public Health is requesting $168,661
from the county to demonstrate a firm commitment through
predictable funding to this critical position.

Justification
In the FY 2022 budget process, the Board of County Commissioners approved a full-time Health Officer for the
County. Temporary COVID funds were designated to cover the cost of the position in FY 2022, but after
approximately six months of recruitment, efforts proved futile for various reasons, including the labor market and
perceptions and interpretation of the temporary COVID funding for this position. Qualified candidates are
generally considering relocation to Central Oregon and have sincere concerns with making that decision
(especially if family members are involved) if they are unclear about how this position will be funded in the
subsequent years.
As such, Health Services is requesting ongoing, predictable funding for the Health Officer position. We are
exploring innovative job/cost sharing models, such as partnering with school districts and/or expanding billable
clinical services to recover some of the cost. Moreover, there might be an opportunity to justify partial support for
this position assisting the Medical Examiner with investigating the cause, circumstances and manner of sudden,
unexpected, violent or suspicious deaths. However, these considerations and innovative approaches will take
some time to materialize, and in the meantime, predictable funding for this position could go a long way in
successfully recruiting a qualified candidate.
The submitted Requested Budget contains only 0.5 FTE Health Officer. This Special Request would add 0.5
FTE to Health Services’ FY 2023 budget. If additional county funds are not secured, the position will remain
reduced from 1.0 FTE in FY 2022 to 0.5 FTE.

Additional information (for new committee members)
For more than a decade, Deschutes County has faced a growing population, changing demographics and an
epidemiologic transition. Injuries and chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and cerebro/cardio-vascular
are increasingly contributing to the disease burden in our communities. Moreover, emerging infectious diseases
and COVID-19 continue to grow in complexity, with disproportionate burden and severity in patients with pre-
existing conditions and/or lower socio-economic status. Nearby counties or counties of similar size, such as
Lane and Marion, have had full-time Health Officer positions for many years.
Public Health is proposing to build regular and sufficient clinical capacity to address the growing needs for
clinical/medical direction, oversight, guidance and policy planning. Specific responsibilities include:
•Represent and speak to the public health interests of the community.
•Represent and act as the chief liaison between the Health Services department and the local community.
•Advocate for an "action agenda" to address community health issues that is inclusive of and in partnership with
the local medical community.
•Regularly assist in educating and informing the local medical and clinical community about public health matters
of clinical significance.
•Act as a liaison between Public Health and the local and state Medical Examiners.
•Provide medical direction to all medical-nursing programs within the scope of the public health agency in
conjunction with the Health Administrator.
•Assist in developing, approving, and providing periodical (semiannual) reviews of medical standing orders that
apply to all Public Health programs including Family Planning, Communicable Disease, Immunizations, Healthy
Start and Women's Health.
•Provide medical quality assurance review (chart audits and program reviews) in conjunction with the
appropriate clinical program managers.
•Provide clinical and strategic consultation to the Health Administer and Communicable Disease Program

Healthy Schools
Description and Itemized Costs
Healthy Schools began in FY 2022 when the Deschutes County
Board of County Commissioners approved the budget committee’s
recommendation to match the contribution from Bend-La Pine
Schools (BLS) and initiate Healthy Schools in that district. The
program was approved as a phased-in approach over three years
with staffing increases each year such that by FY 2024 the entire
district would be reached. FY 2022 served as a pilot year in which
three staff were hired and began the critical role of developing and
operationalizing Healthy Schools on a smaller scale in Bend Senior
and La Pine High Schools.
This is a funding request for the 2nd year of the three-year phase-in
plan for Healthy Schools. It is an estimated additional investment of
$166,360 above the FY 2023 Proposed Budget. This funding
request is listed as the Requested Option in Table 1 and includes
$78,936 in one-time funds above the original Year 2 pilot program
request. This investment seeks to overcome implementation
barriers identified during Year 1. Table 1 presents our Requested
Option compared to our original proposal (Status Quo). [See
attached Table 1.]
Status Quo Option: Maintains the original proposal, allows for all
Public Health Specialists (PHS) at 0.8 FTE with high-deductible
health care benefits. Maintains 80% implementation in all included
school vertical alignments.
Requested Option: Allows for all PHS at 1.0 FTE with full-time
health benefits. Increases to 100% implementation in all included
vertical school alignments. Allows Healthy Schools to increase
reach to 1,817 additional middle school students in three large
middle schools with the additional FTE staffing.
This Special Request is to increase the current two Public Health
Educator II (position #2916 and #2917) from 0.8 FTE to 1.0 FTE, as
well as add two 1.0 FTE Public Health Educator IIs.
In summary, the Requested Option does not add any additional
costs to the original budget request for Year 3 (FY 2024), but there
is an additional cost from the original budget request for Year 2 (FY
2023). We are asking the County to contribute the full amount of the
additional cost for Year 2 (FY 2023) due to significant budget deficits
expected for the school district. BLS is able to contribute the

amount originally committed for Year 2 (FY 2023), which is
$259,967. While the partnership strives to have a 50/50 contributor
plan, in FY 2023 Deschutes County will absorb 56% of expenditures
in order to overcome our implementation barriers. However, the
50/50 match will resume in Year 3 (FY 2024) when one position in
the original proposal is eliminated. This revised staffing structure
will continue to reach the entire District by Year 3. The overall
changes to the 3-year plan are:
• Increasing FTE for Public Health Specialists from 0.8 FTE to 1.0
FTE
• Reducing the overall number of PHSs hired from six at 0.8 FTE
(4.8 FTE) to five at 1.0 FTE (5.0 FTE)
Describe Specific Personnel
Needs
Current personnel is 2.6 FTE. In FY 2023, we are asking for an
additional 2.4 FTE for a total of 5.0 FTE. This FTE includes one
Supervisor at 1.0 FTE and four Public Health Specialists (PHS) at
1.0 FTE. In FY 2023, one PHS will be assigned to Mt. View High
School and one PHS will be assigned to Summit High School. Bend
Senior and La Pine High were incorporated in FY 2022 and assigned
one PHS each at 0.8 FTE. In FY 2023, these existing PHS positions
will increase to 1.0 FTE so that all included schools are reached with
100% implementation.
Justification
Program Background
The Healthy Schools program brings the expertise of Public Health directly into the schools to meet student and
family needs and address disparities that the school alone cannot address. Specifically, we place Public Health
Specialists (PHS) into schools to work directly with administrators, counselors, staff, parents, and students in
order to increase health-promoting behaviors and improve adolescent health and education outcomes. Improved
health and education outcomes are reached through a coordinated school health improvement process,
facilitated by the PHS to improve health education, family engagement, and positive climate and culture across
the whole school and whole community. This coordinated school health improvement process is associated with
7% greater graduation rates in Oregon middle and high schools. An analysis conducted by the Oregon Health
Authority (2013) estimated that a 1% increase in graduation rates returns $5.24 per $1 spent.
Issues addressed by Healthy Schools include adolescent suicide ideation, vaping, bullying, social media risks,
tobacco and alcohol use, pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, and immunizations as well as other
emerging risks and infectious diseases that become a barrier to education or social connections at school and
increase the likelihood of negative consequences in adulthood. See the full Healthy Schools program and
evaluation plan, including key performance metrics and first year milestones at:
www.deschutes.org/healthyschools.
Key Learnings from Pilot Year (FY 2022)
Three factors influenced our program implementation. We share the factors here and provide recommendations
in order to maximize the benefits of this program to staff, students, and families.
237
The first factor relates to the PHS’ work schedule. The original plan was to have PHS work a teacher’s schedule,
meaning that they would work 40 hours a week during the school year with a break in the summer. However,
county policies and practices prohibited this without compromising employee health care coverage over the
summer. Instead, PHS worked 32 hours a week year-round. We quickly realized that this prevented full
implementation of the program during the school year and full integration into the school setting and operations.
In short, not having the full 40-hour workweek shortchanged the PHS’ ability to do the job they were hired to do.
The second factor relates to longer than expected recruitment process. While the program was approved to
launch on July 1, we were not fully staffed until November, two months after the start of the school year. This
delayed getting our staff into school sites and fully operational. We found that while working a teacher schedule
was attractive, the reduced wages and high-deductible health care costs were a deterrent in an area with high
cost of living. Ultimately, we did not receive as many qualified applicants with the 0.8 FTE profile.
The last factor relates to what we learned by having reduced staffing during the summer months. Significant
amount of preparation is needed before the start of the school year. Activities that need to be completed during
the summer months include planning, developing, and coordinating the following: communications plans and
tools, district and school staff presentations and trainings for new initiatives, teacher and parent skill-building
workshops, educational ‘parent nights’ related to adolescent health topics, iterations to program plans, and
evaluation reports and presentations. We will also need to deliver or implement the following during the summer
months due to time constraints during the school year: teacher skill-building workshops, teacher-led curricular
development workshops, and reporting and presentations to key decision-makers.
Comments about our Healthy Schools Program
“Teachers always appreciate when “experts” get a chance to come in speak. It gives students a break from
listening to teachers, in addition to an opportunity to learn from someone designated to this expert role. Typically
these lessons are completed by a counselor, which means that, on average, a counselor is using 10 hours of
their school day to be in the health classes, taking away from the daily connection and completion of activities for
a typical day in the life of school counselor. This shift also allows counselors to be more readily available for
supporting students who might need additional support and resources.” – Christine Ewing, Bend Senior High
School Counselor, in an email describing the impact of their Healthy Schools Public Health Specialist delivery of
suicide prevention education curricula to all 9th grade Health classes
“The Healthy Schools program has been a positive addition to La Pine High School and the La Pine community.
I have worked with various groups in South County, and pre COVID facilitated a community group focused on
creating partnerships between the schools, the community, and local resources/services. One of the biggest
challenges was connecting health related services to the schools and providing resources for our students,
families, and community. Amanda, our Public Health Specialist, has worked diligently to understand the La Pine
community and identify resources to meet the health-related needs of the community. I look forward to
continuing this partnership to ensure services and resources are accessible to the entire community of La Pine
and strengthen the school and community relationship.” – Leslie Reif, Interim Assistant Principal, La Pine High
School

Justification
Deschutes County Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Program continues to anticipate forecasted
enrollment increases. Our IDD Service population has grown from 497 in 2016 to 769 in 2021, a growth rate of
roughly 8% each year. In order to meet the needs of the vulnerable population served including addressing
access, service equity and inclusion priorities, it is critical that the IDD program take advantage of federal
matching funds. Striking the balance of staffing is how Deschutes County’s IDD program has traditionally been
able to consistently meet the needs of our customers while also generating service encounters sufficient to
qualify to participate in the Local Match program.
239
Commitment of Local Match funding leverages federal dollars at an approximate 2:1 ratio. This arrangement
allows DCHS to staff at the level needed to deliver more complete case management services to our clients,
maintain strong internal quality assurance and staff training activities, which repeatedly result in external audit
ratings and customer satisfaction measurements over 95%, and consistently exceed targets for qualifying case
management encounters.

In January 2021, the Board approved a one-year extension to the 1.0 FTE limited duration Health Services
Public Information Officer (PIO). The position, originally supported through COVID funds through Oregon Health
Authority, was extended as part of Public Health Modernization funds.
Because of the broad community reach, sensitivity, timeline, and complexity of communications from Health
Services, the nature of the work requires a central point of contact for internal and external partners. The need
is not term limited, and is ongoing. The department proposes converting the funding stream from 100% Public
Health Modernization funding to integrated department indirect ongoing—70 percent Behavioral Health and 30
percent Public Health. Due to the ongoing demand and funding structure, the position is requested to convert to
regular status.

Discretionary Grant Application, March 2022
Project: Sisters Country Vision Implementation
Applicant: City of Sisters
1.Describe the applicant organization, including its purpose, leadership structure, and activities.
The City of Sisters is a municipal government within Deschutes County.
2.Describe the proposed project or activity.
In 2018, the Sisters Country Vision project engaged the people of Sisters Country in a lively
conversation about their future. The City of Sisters, along with Deschutes County, The Central
Oregon Intergovernmental Council (COIC) and Citizens 4 Community (C4C) served on a project
management team that provided oversight and guidance to NXT Consulting, who was selected
to lead the vision project and the creation of a Vision Action Plan. The Sisters Country Vision
engaged local residents far beyond the City of Sisters, and many projects in the Vision Action
Plan require close collaboration with County partners to accomplish, including rural trails
initiatives, fire preparedness, and affordable housing. Following adoption of the Vision Action
Plan in early 2019 and the end of NXT’s contract, the City of Sisters contracted with COIC to
serve as the Vision Coordinator and facilitate the creation of a Vision Implementation Team
(VIT). Commissioner Adair has served on the Vision Implementation Team since its inception in
2019. Nick Lelack, Deschutes County Administrator, served on the team from 2019-2021. Peter
Gutowsky joined the team in 2021. COIC has continued to serve as the VIT Facilitator/Vision
Coordinator from 2019-2022.
During this same time period, C4C has successfully expanded their organizational capacity
and hired paid staff. In recognition of this growth in local capacity, COIC and C4C have worked
together with the Vision Implementation Team to transition facilitation and coordination duties
from COIC to C4C, starting summer of 2022. Since 2018, the City of Sisters has been the primary
financial supporter of vision implementation, along with some supplemental grant funds
provided by The Ford Family Foundation via a regional grant to COIC and a multi-year grant to
C4C. We are now requesting support for ongoing facilitation of implementation activities from
key community partners, to demonstrate buy-in and support from a broad base of participating
organizations, which will in turn support any future grant requests. The City of Sisters will
administer these funds, and C4C will utilize this funding for the following activities:
o Project Management: Provide overall project management support for the Sisters
Country Vision, supporting vision projects, managing the Momentum Grants program,
and producing annual progress reports.
o Meeting Facilitation: Facilitate quarterly meetings of the Vision Implementation Team
(VIT) and monthly meetings of the Community Builders group, supporting an active
connection between the Community Builders group and the Vision Implementation
Team. Manage internal communications with team members, coordinate meeting
logistics, and create meeting agendas and materials.
o Communications and Outreach Coordination: Serve as the first point of contact for
general inquiries about vision implementation, community members working on vision
243
projects, and community members interested in starting a new vision project. As
requested, help with public outreach and engagement for vision projects. Publish
monthly “vision spotlights” on the community website social media channels, and
coordinate with other organizations to publish periodic vision updates in The Nugget or
other local media publications.
o Event Coordination: Coordinate a celebratory vision event annually, and/or collaborate
with the organizers of existing community events to increase public visibility of the
Sisters Country Vision.
3.Provide a timeline for completing the proposed project or activity.
Although the Sisters Country Vision is an open-ended project, we are requesting financial
support for just one fiscal year (2022-23). We have a goal of securing a minimum of $10,000
from our community partners to support ongoing Vision facilitation and implementation this
fiscal year.
4.Explain how the proposed project or activity will positively impact the community.
The Sisters Country Vision is a valuable community planning and coordination tool. Although the
VIT provides guidance and helps track progress, the Sisters Country Vision is community-led,
meaning that no single leader or entity is solely responsible for making progress on the
strategies in the Vision Action Plan. Instead, there is community-wide collaboration between
dozens of partners, including local government, local agencies and special districts, non-profit
organizations, businesses, and individual community members. The Vision can be a very useful
tool for both organizations and community members:
o For organizations, the Vision is an important tool in work plan priority-setting and
provides valuable data for grant applications, clearly demonstrating community support
and alignment for local projects.
o For community members, the Vision is a tool for focusing and directing momentum to
be responsive to community needs and allocating resources to help meet those needs
effectively. The Vision provides a helpful framework that channels community energy
into clear, achievable goals.
5.Identify the specific communities or groups that will benefit.
The Sisters Country Vision benefits all residents of Sisters Country. The Vision Implementation
Team (VIT) creates an important opportunity for regular collaboration and accountability
between local leaders, while the annual Vision progress reports create transparency and
accountability to community members. It is difficult, if not impossible, to pinpoint specific
groups that will benefit from this funding most directly. However, with 4 focus areas, 20 key
strategies, and more than 40 active community projects, the Sisters Country Vision is a far-
reaching tool for many community members to work together toward shared goals and mutual
benefit. You can find more information about specific projects and the community partners
working on them at: https://sisterscommunity.org/sisters-country-vision/

7.If the grant will support an ongoing activity, explain how it will be funded in the future.
Although the City of Sisters will continue to provide some financial support to ongoing
implementation of the Vision, we are hoping to continue the more disbursed funding model we
are proposing this fiscal year into the future. The funding provided by the City, County, and
other key community partners will hopefully be used to leverage additional grant funding, by
demonstrating broad-based financial buy-in for the Vision Plan and community-led projects.

Alfalfa Fire District 25889 Alfalfa Market Rd. Bend, Or 97701 541-382-2333 Station To Whom It May Concern, Please accept this proposal on behalf of the Alfalfa Fire District for the request of $150,000 in funds to help complete construction of the Alfalfa Fire District Station 901. These funds are being requested to help with completion of the Fire Station construction to bring our project to 100 percent completion. As we considered an essential facility by both state and local regulation, we are seeking funds to help with the installation of a well, Our backup generator, and to complete paving around the building. As a newly formed Fire District and the newest one in not only Deschutes County, but in the State of Oregon, we receive tax revenue from the district as our only stream of revenue. As a small district we have imposed the maximum tax assessment we are allowed by the state at $1.75 per $1,000 of assessed value. This tax rate brings in approx. $147,000 per year. The smallest of any Fire District in Deschutes County. Our budget consists of the following- Personnel Services-$59,000 (Pt Fire Chief, Health ins, Workers Compensation) Materials and Services-$46,982 (Operation of building and vehicle maintenance) Debt Services-$38,844 (loan repayment for station loan to construct) Equipment reserve fund-$5,000 (To replace aging fleet) Building reserve fund-$2,000 (Building maint) Contingency-$30,000 Capital Outlay-$122,421 (cost includes Federal Grant which we factor in but may not receive) Resources- Available cash on hand-$53,000
247
Page 2
Interest $70.00 Federal Grant for Equipment-$104,100 Taxes-$147,077 The taxes we receive allow for Approx. $2,000 a year to help maintain the Fire Station. As we are a new Fire District, we have looked at the option for a bond or levy which the community will not support. We have looked at USDA, as well as other loans to help complete the projects needed to finalize and make our building truly and “essential” building. These funds were either not available due to financial constraints, or due to the district being out of the median income requirements because we share the 97701-zip code. The median household income of Alfalfa is represented by the 97701-zip code and has put us well above median incomes for most loans or grants for these types of projects. The Fire Station itself has seen a lot of time and money put into it by the volunteers themselves. As of April 1, 2022, the Volunteers have donated $22,480 of our own money to complete interior projects such as office space, training room, day use room and grounds maintenance. This does not factor in what we would have paid for labor to have had someone come do the work. The Firefighters are invested in this Department and want to see the continued success we have strived for. This has included help with wildfires in the region, as well as conflagrations around the state to which we have never missed a call for help. This is relatively unheard of with an all-volunteer Fire Department. As well as 24 hr. continued Fire and Ems services to our community. The funds we are requesting will go to various projects such as a well for a continuous water supply. In the event of a large-scale emergency, we only have 1000 gal of water in a cistern to supply the station. If the building was used by the community to shelter or to be used as a command center for operation, we would have to rely on water delivery to sustain operation. The cost of this well is Approx. $40,000 based on quotes we are gathering. Second would be the backup generator installation. We have purchased a backup generator which was funded by both the Fire District, as well as Volunteers pitching in to help purchase. This is a 105 kw generator which would provide backup power to the Fire Station as well as 2 rv spots in the event of power loss. As we are near an aging substation here in Alfalfa, we have lost power 5 times in the last year. This is more than the last 5 years combined. We have spoken with the power company, and they assure us repairs and upgrades are coming. No timeline. In the event we lose power we rely on backup radios, and we manually raise and lower doors which costs valuable time in an emergency. The cost of installation on this generator is $20,000. The last project would be the paving around the station. As we currently only have gravel around the station this see’s a lot of maintenance because of the heavy equipment turning and creating ruts. We do not train on water supplies or hose drills as these hydro mines the gravel creating more work to maintain. As we are surrounded by agricultural fields, this brings an enormous number of weeds which seed into the rock. This creates a fire hazard around the station as we have to either spray or burn the weeds to control growth. This is not just a patch of weeds; this is an entire acre around the station where you no longer can see the ground underneath. Paving around the station will not only control the fire hazard but will allow for Firefighters to use the grounds for training rather than going out of the district which creates gaps in coverage. Paving around the building would allow for Firefighters to come in and train on various Fire Response tactics without having to go out of district to a paved parking lot to use Fire Hose. Dragging our hose on the gravel all the time damages the hose and becomes costly to replace. The cost for this is $90,000 and would greatly improv our ability to train Firefighters within our district rather then sending them outside the district and delaying response.
248
Page 3
Short term effects on this project are numerous. The Firefighters who serve this community take pride in this station. They have given blood, sweat and tears to see this station be built. They have donated time away from families, money they worked hard for, and have built a Fire Station they are proud of. They would fund this project themselves if they could. It is just not feasible. They are taxpayers and help fund projects within Deschutes County, and they are asking for a little help back. The community see’s the Fire Station as an essential facility, and a point of pride. Knowing a bond or levy would not pass at this time, if the Commissioners and budget managers could approve funds, it would allow for the building to truly become essential and allow for use during an emergency. As we are an aging community this building has been used as a warming shelter when community members heaters stopped working, and they needed a place to get warm, it has been used during the summer as a place to cool off for a little bit for those who do not have air conditioning. It has been a place where families bring their children to see what Firefighters do, to spray water and to build relationships with those we serve. It allows for the Fire District to continue to foster relationships with its County Commissioners, and to hopefully show them that even small districts can flourish with a little help. We have always answered the call when help was needed, without question, and without hesitation. We are now asking this of our County Government. This is not a yearly ask for this district, this is simply a one time ask for help where critical help is needed. Short term this project would help bridge the gap between what we need and what we can afford given our tax base. As we see more growth in the community and tax revenues rise, knowing that we have completed the major projects to complete construction would allow for the Fire District to use funds to begin to replace an aging fleet of Fire Apparatus, or to upgrade outdated emergency equipment. The long-term effects of funding allow for the Firefighters to “take a break” in a sense knowing that they do not have to focus on completing the building. They can then focus on response, use the facility to train, and to continue to be proud of what they have built. The long-term effects would allow us to look at future funding options, like a bond or levy. The community may be more apt to approve a bond or levy for operations and funding of more Firefighters in the future. Completing these projects would allow for us to begin the process of going out for out of district personnel. Right now, with no water source, there is no way to put into use a Fire Sprinkler system. The cistern will not support that. Without a water source, by county code we cannot house Firefighters without a way to help protect them. Even now without a water source if there was a fire inside the building we would have to rely on water in the apparatus. If the apparatus were on Fire the building may be a total loss without an effective suppression system. These projects were on our master plan but cannot be completed due to lack of funds. As a Fire District we have a lot invested in this Station and in our community. A $150,000 may not seem like a lot, but is a huge amount to the district, and would greatly help our operations. If these projects are funded, we will see that the projects are completed in a timely manner, within the given budgeted allowance, and that the community knows where this funding came from. And that building strong bonds with not only the community we serve, but the County we serve are extremely important to our continued success. I appreciate your time in looking over this proposal, and if any questions or additional information is needed, I can be reached at the numbers listed below.

From: Envision Bend
Re: Request for Funding to Support Bend Vision Project
Thank you for the opportunity on April 16 to make a presentation to the Deschutes County Commission
about the Bend Vision Project for the greater Bend area. This written document serves as Envision
Bend’s formal written request for funding support of $50,000 from Deschutes County for this important
community initiative. The final result of this 16+ month project spanning December 2021-March 2023
will be a collaborative, forward-looking and exciting shared vision for the future of the greater Bend
area.
The Bend Vision Project will be a “whole-of-community,” nonpartisan conversation emphasizing dialogue,
visionary thinking, inclusion and consensus-building. The target audience for our outreach and community
engagement is defined as the greater Bend area, including residents of the city of Bend, adjacent outlying
areas and unincorporated communities, and county residents who relate to or participate in the life of the
city on a regular basis.
Most plans are conducted by a single entity with a particular objective that benefits their organization or
furthers their own planning needs. The Bend Vision Project is a community-owned plan with no special-
interest agenda except to find agreement on a long-term vision for our community (10, 20, 25 years into
the future) and near-term actions to move us in that direction. The project is managed by Envision Bend,
an independent nonprofit organization that brings diverse stakeholders together to educate, engage and
empower all members of the Bend community to have a voice in our city’s future. Once completed, the
plan will be implemented by project partners across the whole community, including government, civic
institutions, private businesses, civic organizations, nonprofits and residents. It will truly be a plan
created and owned by the community.
The project is unfolding in five phases encompassing research, outreach, dialogue (incorporating diverse
forms of engagement including interviews, listening sessions/focus groups, workshops, community
meetings and a survey), action planning, and plan development (see Envision Bend “Process Map” on
subsequent page).
The final major outcomes from this project include:
o Core Community Values statement
o Long-term (“generational”) community Vision Statement
o Near-term (five-year) Vision Action Plan including specific actions, several “signature projects,”
identified plan partners, success measures (community indicators), and ideas for personal action
251
In addition to the larger 5-year Action Plan that will be developed to further the final vision and major
community initiatives, Envision Bend will create a “personal” action plan that will be available at the end
of the project. This plan will incorporate ideas that came out of the visioning process that individuals can
take on or incorporate into their own lives to help further the goals of the community vision.
Please refer to the next section, “Community Visioning Project Overview,” for details about additional
project activities and outcomes.
Envision Bend’s equitable engagement approach is a collaboration between our nonprofit organization,
local community partners that serve marginalized, hard-to-reach or under-represented communities,
and Oregon’s Kitchen Table (OKT), a program of the College of Urban and Public Affairs at Portland State
University. OKT has deep experience in community engagement across the state. Their purpose is to
empower Oregonians from every corner of the state to contribute feedback, ideas, and resources to
decision-makers, public projects, and initiatives. Local experts and volunteers will be used in partnership
with OKT in our engagement process to ensure we reach traditionally marginalized communities, rural
voices, and people who often choose not to engage in community projects.
The Bend Vision Project is a broad community conversation focused on high-level community
aspirations. Our project will be coordinated to align with, inform and support City and County planning
efforts. It is not a replacement for a comprehensive land use plan or community plan. Our intent is not
to repeat, replicate or compete with other important planning initiatives or projects already in the
works. Rather, the Bend Vision Project will complement and accentuate information that can inform
policy-making and other planning efforts. We believe that the information we gather from interviews,
focus groups, a community-wide survey and other engagement efforts will be very useful to the County.
To-date Envision Bend has held several meetings with County staff to communicate about this project
and the County’s Comprehensive Plan update, and we look forward to collaborating to ensure the
success of all our efforts.
When the Bend Vision Project is completed Envision Bend will take on a number of activities to help
ensure our community’s vision is achieved over time. First and foremost, we will serve as a facilitator
and convenor to help ensure project implementation by lead partners who agree to take on initiatives
identified in the vision – partners such as local governmental entities, businesses and community
groups. We also plan to establish and monitor a set of “community indicators” in the plan which are
generalized measures of progress that will tell us if and how our community is changing for the better.
Finally, we will continue to serve as an ongoing voice and platform for community members to discuss
and take action on topics of vital interest to our future. Once significant progress has been made on the
first 5-year action plan Envision Bend will work with the community to update the next action plan for
the vision.
The total cost of the project is approximately $300,000. Envision Bend is raising all the funds for this
important community initiative. We have commitments from a wide variety of local business,
foundations, and institutions, as well as support from the City of Bend.
