Current Challenges and Future Initiatives
•Identify additional resources to
supplement increased payroll.
•Assess potential benefits and
support of secondary location
in the Bend area to be more
accessible to >50% of the
County population including
Sunriver and LaPine.
•Small Farm and Forestry agent
positions remain vacant due to
inadequate statewide funding
(Senate Bill 458) .
•Staffing gaps continue to put
pressure on other faculty in the
region.
•Administration positions all
occupied, but at increased cost
due to standard of living and
challenging staffing environment.
Challenges Future Initiatives
