Commissioners to hold a series of joint meetings this Fall

The Deschutes County Board of Commissioners will meet this fall with governing boards from across the County to collaborate on a variety of topics impacting communities in Central Oregon.

Over the next three months, the Board will hold joint meetings with the city councils of Bend, Redmond, Sisters and La Pine, as well as with the County Planning Commission, the Deschutes County Fair Board and the Deschutes County Circuit Court.

"We discuss current issues facing communities across the County, share information about upcoming projects and coordinate with one another on ways to best serve Deschutes County residents."

While the topics on the agenda will change with each jurisdiction, discussions with the city councils will include strategies and outcomes to address homelessness, city and county growth management, as well as an update on the siting of the future County Landfill.
