Special Assessment Programs for Forestland www.oregon.gov/DOR/TIMBER Because privately owned forestlands are important to Oregon’s economic and environmental health, they are taxed differently than other kinds of property. As a forestland owner, you are affected by how the counties tax those lands. This publication explains how the Oregon Department of Revenue and the counties administer the special assessment programs for forestlands.

Qualification criteria: There must be enough trees on your land to meet Oregon Forest Practices Act stocking and species standards. If only a portion of your land meets the standards, you may still qualify if: standards by December 31 of the first assessment year, and

Most property in Oregon is valued and taxed based on real market value (RMV)—the price for which land would sell on the open market. As urban areas encroach on lands capable of growing valuable timber, the value of that timberland increases. This raises property taxes on the timberland, making it more expensive to hold while the timber is growing.

enough trees to meet the standards within five years. Lands not adequately stocked within five years will be disqualified (explained under “Disqualification or removal” below). Annual property tax: Land under the Forestland Special Assessment Program is assessed at a value based on the typical price paid for forestland. This is often less than RMV. Property taxes under this program vary, depending on the property’s location and ability to grow timber.

Recognizing this, the Oregon Legislature has established several special assessment programs that reduce taxes for forestland owners who manage their property for the primary purpose of growing and harvesting timber. The advantages and criteria for Oregon’s forestland special assessment programs are explained below.

Forestland Program Under this program, there are two types of forestlands, “highest and best use” and “designated.”

Severance tax: There is no severance tax on timber when it is harvested from land under the Forestland Special Assessment Program.

During the mid-1900s, counties identified lands whose best, most economical use was to grow timber and other forest products. The counties refer to these lands as “highest and best use forestlands.”

Disqualification or removal: The county assessor may disqualify lands that no longer meet program standards. If your land is disqualified, you must pay back the amount of the tax reduction you received for up to the previous five years. Contact your county assessor for more information.

Landowners who own forestland that the county does not consider “highest and best use” may apply to have the land “designated” as forestland. If you own this type of land, you may receive a property tax reduction if you agree to grow and harvest timber. If you are unsure how your land is classified, contact your county assessor’s office.

Small Tract Forestland Program The Small Tract Forestland (STF) Program allows small-woodland owners to delay paying part of their annual property taxes until the timber is harvested. This is known as the STF Severance Tax.

How to apply for the Forestland Special Assessment Program: Contact the assessor of the county where your forestland is located to obtain an application. The assessor will determine if your land qualifies as designated forestland.

Like the Forestland Special Assessment Program, the STF Program applies to land the county has classified as highest and best use and to land that qualifies as designated forestland.

Ownership size: At least two acres. 150-441-649 (Rev. 01-10)

standards. If your land is disqualified from this special assessment, you must pay back the amount of the tax reduction you received for up to the previous 10 years. Contact your county assessor for more information.

of the forestland’s special assessment value. The STF Severance Tax is designed to recover the remaining 80 percent over the life of the property when timber is harvested.

Once land is disqualified from the STF Program, it cannot qualify again for five years.

How to apply: Contact the assessor in the county where the land is located. If the county has not classified the land as forestland, you will need to complete two applications: one to have your forestland classified as designated forestland, and one to qualify for the STF Program.

Change from one forestland option to another: Properties remain under the STF Program until ownership is transferred or the property is no longer used as forestland.

Applications are available at the county assessor’s

Once property qualifies for the STF Program, it cannot be removed from this program until it is sold or transferred to a new owner, or the use of the property changes.

Rates may change annually to reflect changes in specially assessed forestland value. Value increases are limited to 3 percent annually. The rate change for specially assessed forestland value is set each June 1.

Ownership size: At least 10 acres of forestland, but fewer than 5,000 acres.

Contact DOR or see our website for current year rates.

Qualification criteria: The land must have enough trees to meet Oregon Forest Practices Act stocking and species standards.

What is taxed? Generally, logs or chips removed from land under the STF Program are taxed. Log loads sold by the ton are taxed unless they consist of small, utility-grade logs less than 5 inches in diameter. Utility or lower grade logs are exempt from this tax.

If not all of your land meets these standards, you may still qualify if:

Have the least impact on nearby or adjoining forest or agricultural lands; 2. Ensure that adverse impacts on forest operations and accepted farming practices on the tract will be minimized; 3. Minimize the amount of forest lands used to site the dwelling and structures, road access and service corridors; 4. Are consistent with the applicable provisions of DCC 18.40.070, minimizes the risks associated with wildfire. D. Siting criteria satisfying the above may include setbacks from adjoining properties, clustering near or among existing structures, siting close to existing roads and siting on that portion of the parcel least suited for growing trees.

18.40.070 Fire Siting Standards For Dwellings And Structures The following fire siting standards shall apply to all new dwellings and permanent structures (including permitted uses): A. Access. 1. If a water supply, such as a swimming pool, pond, stream or lake, is available and suitable for fire protection or is required under DCC 18.40.070, then road access to within 15 feet of the water's edge shall be provided for pumping units. The road access shall be constructed and maintained to accommodate the maneuvering of fire fighting equipment during the fire season. Permanent signs shall be posted along the access route to indicate the location of the emergency water source. 2. Road access to the dwelling or structure shall meet the road design standards described in DCC 18.40.080. B. Firebreaks. The owners of dwellings and structures shall construct and maintain the following firebreaks on land surrounding the structures that is owned or controlled by the owner: 1. Primary Firebreak. Prior to use, a primary firebreak, not less than 10 feet wide, shall be constructed containing nonflammable materials. This may include lawn, walkways, driveways, gravel borders or other similar materials. 2. Secondary Firebreak. A secondary firebreak of not less than 20 feet shall be constructed outside the primary firebreak. This firebreak need not be bare ground, but can include a lawn, ornamental shrubbery or individual or groups of trees separated by a distance equal to the diameter of the crowns adjacent to each other, or 15 feet, whichever is greater. All trees shall be pruned to at least eight feet in height. Dead fuels shall be removed. 3. Fuel Break. A fuel break shall be maintained, extending a minimum of 100 feet in all directions around the secondary firebreak. Individual and groups of trees within the fuel break shall be separated by a distance equal to the diameter of the crowns adjacent to each other, or 15 feet, whichever is greater. Small trees and brush growing underneath larger trees shall be removed to prevent spread of fire up into the crowns of the larger trees. All trees shall be pruned to at least eight feet in height. Dead fuels shall be removed. The fuel break shall be completed prior to the beginning of the coming fire season. 4. No portion of a tree or any other vegetation shall extend to within 15 feet of the outlet of a stovepipe or chimney. C. Caretaker residences and private accommodations for fishing shall not be located on hillsides steeper than 30 percent and containing flammable fuels. A single family dwelling shall not be sited on a slope greater than 40 percent. D. The applicant for a single-family dwelling, caretaker residence or private accommodations for fishing shall obtain an address from the County address coordinator and shall display that number in a location of the property that is clearly visible from the road used as the basis for numbering. The numbers shall not be less than three inches in height, shall be painted in a contrasting or visible color and shall comply with all other applicable standards for signs. E. Structural Standards. 1. All dwellings and structures shall use noncombustible or fire resistant roofing materials. This means roofing material identified as Class A, B or C in the Oregon Uniform Building Code. Roof sprinklers are not an acceptable alternative to this standard.

2. If the dwelling or structure has a chimney, it shall have a spark arrester. F. Fire Protection. Single-family dwellings, caretaker residences and private accommodations for fishing shall be located upon a parcel for which fire protection services are available or where alternative protective measures are authorized by DCC 18.40.070(F). 1. For the purposes of DCC 18.40.070 fire protection services are available if the parcel is located within the boundaries of a fire protection district or residential fire protection service is provided by contract, as evidenced by a written, signed contract. 2. If the dwelling or structure is not within a fire protection district, the applicant shall provide evidence that the applicant has asked to be included in the nearest such district. 3. If the parcel is not located within a fire protection district and it is determined, following application for inclusion within the nearest such district, that inclusion in the district would be impracticable, alternative means of fire protection shall be allowed, consistent with the following standards: a. The dwelling or structure shall be equipped with a residential fire sprinkler system. For caretaker residences or single-family residences, such a sprinkler system shall be installed to the minimum requirements of NFPA 13D "Standards for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems in One and Two-Family Dwellings." b. The dwelling shall have on-site water storage capability from a swimming pool, pond, lake, or similar water body of at least 4,000 gallons or a stream having a continuous year round flow of at least one cubic foot per second.

LOCAL ATTRACTIONS

The City of Sisters History The town of Sisters derives its name from the three prominent Cascade peaks that grace the southwestern skyline: Faith, Hope, and Charity, collectively known as the Three Sisters. A very old story suggests that the mountains were named in the 1840s by members of a Methodist mission based in Salem. Others credit trappers who frequented the region in the early part of the 19th century. The town was officially christened when the post office at Camp Polk, some three miles to the north, closed in 1888 and was moved to the future town of Sisters. The new post office was moved to a store owned by John Smith, and local residents were invited to submit names for the new facility. Local merchant Jacob Quilberg's entry was accepted by the US Postal Department, and the handful of wood frame buildings lying at the junction of the Santiam and McKenzie roads officially became known as Sisters. Sheep traffic over the Santiam wagon road was responsible for the early growth of settlement. Then on July 10, 1901, two enterprising brothers, Alex and Robert Smith, officially platted the City of Sisters. As the only town between Prineville and the mountains, the newly platted town grew quickly. By 1904 the Prineville Herald wrote of Sisters, "there are two good stores, a hotel, blacksmith shop, saloon, real estate office, livery barn and a splendid schoolhouse costing $1,800, and a short distance from town is a fine lumbering mill." By the turn of the century, cattle raising had replaced sheep herding as the main industry in the region. In Sisters, cattle raising focused around the vast holdings of the Black Butte Land & Livestock Company. The large firm, begun by Nick Lambert, centered around two stations, the A.S. Holmes Ranch and the Black Butte Ranch. The company lasted until about 1920. Replacing the cattle industry was the logging industry. Sawmills, large and small, prospered in the rich forest land surrounding the town. The first large operation was the Duckett & Spoo mill, built in 1914. Before then small operations were common in the area as early as 1890. New businesses continued to open their doors to serve the needs of the ever-growing number of settlers and the future of Sisters looked bright. But two fires in the 1920s threatened to reduce this blossoming community to little more than ashes and fond memories. In May of 1923, local store owner Frank Leithauser noticed smoke coming from an untended garage near the center of town. The garage housed equipment used for work on the McKenzie Highway. Flames spread quickly, igniting at least 10 of the town's wood frame structures in less than 20 minutes. There were fewer than 10 men in town to fight the blaze because everyone else was in nearby Redmond to attend a track meet. The flames moved west and attacked the town drug store owned by George Aitken. Above the store was Forest Service office space. In an attempt to save important documents, Mrs. Fred McKinney attempted to gain entry into the building, but she was driven back by the intense heat.

Mrs. McKinney suffered a scorched face and forearm, and all Forest Service documents in the building were destroyed. It was estimated that several hundred people from the area gathered to watch the blaze, which could be seen for miles. People in the surrounding countryside initially thought it was a forest fire. In September of 1924 the town was again set upon by flames. And although half of the town subsequently burned, the townspeople considered themselves lucky. Had the Hotel Sisters and the Sorensen service station across the street caught fire, it was widely believed that the entire town would have been destroyed. The total loss was estimated at $25,000. Like many towns, Sisters has had its ups and downs in subsequent years. in 1946 after several failed attempts the city was officially incorporated. In the 1980s, the city weathered a deep economic crisis and emerged as a tourist destination. The economic upswing was spurred by the redevelopment of the old Black Butte Land & Livestock holdings to the west and was further fueled by the establishment of Bend is a region wide tourist destination. Once again Sisters profited by its location as the last major stopping point before traveling over the Cascade Mountains.

Who I Am I am Whychus Creek and I want my story to be heard. I begin in the icy glaciers of Middle Sister. Every year the snow melts and my energy is back. I provide habitat for fish and irrigation for my town of Sisters and I keep the riparian zone around my banks healthy and thriving. I am pure because my water comes from a pure and beautiful place. Once, a few decades ago, people came with bulldozers and straightened my body. They took away my meandering curves and changed the fish habitat. Now, the steelhead who used to thrive in my waters are gone, only a memory. I used to be called Squaw Creek but with the generations, my name has changed. To the other creeks, I send a message: no matter how much people take from you and damage you, just keep flowing because soon people realize that they need you. PHOTO

Creek channel emerged from the deepest, longest, and most complex of them all. The path of the upper portions of Whychus Creek now drops down waterfalls to carve steep bedrock canyons, spread across broad alluvial valleys, explore water-carved caves, and wash across polished andesitic rock.1 The Wild and Scenic river corridor of Whychus and the entire Sisters Ranger District of the Deschutes National Forest are ceded lands of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs protected by treaty rights. Elders from the Tribes have referred to the creek as

diversions and multiple fish passage barriers conspicuously fetter Whychus Creek just a few miles upstream from the City of Sisters. However, a decade of partnership-building among local conservation organizations, private landowners, Deschutes National Forest, and the Three Sisters Irrigation District has created a collaborative climate in which the process to remove barriers for migratory fish and restore prime fish habitat conditions has begun. Soon, spawning fish will be able to swim freely up the creek on their own way to the mountain.

Later, something come along and undermined it and let Soap Creek wash out that material that had closed it. That was another color of the water—soapy. Soap Creek was soapy.

Although the subjugation of a creek as a canal was in line with perspectives and social values of the time, the channelization of Whychus Creek directly contrasted Aldo Leopold’s well known land ethic, “A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise.” 6

In the Water: The Evolution of a Creek

Keeping the creek cool he irrigation diversions that began in Whychus Creek in 1871 exposed and dewatered sections of the creek less than 50 years later. The removal of most of the streamflow had devastating effects on water quality, fish, and aquatic habitat conditions. For almost a century, Whychus Creek watered canals and farmland while its creekbed sat hot and dry. In 1904, The Oregonian newspaper noted, “the water from the mountain PHOTO

streams that has heretofore flowed through canyons and gulches and over barren rocks is being diverted to the fertile soil in the rich valleys and on the level plains.” 4 When the waters of Whychus Creek, Indian Ford Creek, or Pole Creek are reduced to thin rivulets in the summer, the hot sun takes its toll. The less water that remains in the creekbed, the more rapidly that water heats up and becomes inhospitable for native coldwater fish. Information gathered by local organizations over the last 10 years shows that, in some sections, the waters of

cold water. In order to stay cool during the critical summer months, Whychus Creek needs more water than it has seen for the past 100 years.8 While there are other factors that affect water quality and stream health, the unnaturally low stream flows in Whychus Creek greatly compromise stream conditions for native fish and other aquatic species. Beginning in 1996, local conservation groups began to work with private landowners and irrigation districts to create new ways to return water to Whychus Creek. Although the vast majority of the water in Whychus Creek continues to be diverted out of the creek during the hot summer months, collaborative work between conservation organizations, farmers, private landowners, and the irrigation district has resulted in the permanent protection of 10 cubic feet per second in the creek as of 2008. Through water leasing, an additional 10 cubic feet per second has been temporarily protected instream in 2008. With shifting perceptions, many voices are rising together to express a vast amount of caring for Whychus Creek and the return of its waters. But, the evolution of a creek to a canal to a creek is not over. Keeping Whychus Creek cool enough for native fish throughout its entire length will require more water than amounts restored

Whychus, historically, had stream conditions that included a valuable mix of cobble, gravels, and sand, thus providing an incredibly healthy habitat for native fish. Cool temperatures, shaded pools, and side channels provided an excellent home for

Now, as water is being returned to wet and cool the streambed of Whychus, migratory steelhead may return to populate the creek once more. Listed as Threatened under the Endangered Species Act, steelhead spend a large portion of their lives in rivers and streams and are particularly affected by human-induced changes to stream habitat. Steelhead require specific stream conditions in order to survive through their long journey downstream, out to the ocean, and back upstream hundreds of miles to spawn in their home waters. Throughout their life cycle, steelhead need downed trees, deep pools, abundant gravel, and good sources of food.

Springs worked with many local partners to provide fish passage and return native migratory steelhead back to Whychus Creek. The return of hundreds of thousands of steelhead to Whychus in 2007 and 2008 is just the beginning of a decade’s long movement to return wildness to the place we cross the water. Through time, we have crossed the water in many ways and now, with buckets and backpacks full of fish, we cross the water to bring back native fish. While it is still unknown if or how many of these fish will make a successful journey to return to spawn in Whychus Creek, many hands and a vast amount of caring has been dedicated to ushering their safe return.

First proposed by Portland General Electric in 1949, the Pelton Round Butte dams sit on the Deschutes River and have blocked fish passage for migratory steelhead between Whychus Creek and the ocean since 1964. Some optimistic estimates claim that, prior to the construction and operation of the Pelton Round Butte dam complex, there were up to 9,000 spawning steelhead in Whychus Creek.3 Between 1965 and 2006, there were none. In the spring of 2007, almost 200,000 steelhead fry were released into Whychus Creek and many more will be released in the

Community members volunteered to assist with the reintroduction of almost 200,000 steelhead fry into Whychus Creek in 2007.

A Sense of Place: Connecting to Whychus

“We got off the school bus and stepped onto a sturdy old bridge. It seemed unusually warm for October; it felt more like late August. In small groups, we began to hike. We were surrounded by a large variety of plants—cottonwoods, aspen, willow, mountain alders, lodgepole pine, ponderosa pine, and douglas fir. Our leader stopped to show us horsetail—it made a popping noise when you pulled it apart—she said that it was an ancient plant that needed a lot of water to survive. As we continued to walk downstream, the types of plants surrounding us began to change a bit. The horsetail disappeared and we began to notice a few juniper trees, bitterbrush, and more pines.”

A SENSE OF PLACE

Dear future students: This project on Whychus Creek was pretty awesome. We dug up many willows along an old canal and transplanted them along a degraded section of Whychus Creek which we dubbed Broken Bridge Bend. Even though the weather wasn’t very good—it snowed and even hailed on us—and we were trampling through the woods, I feel like I have learned so much about this creek! It is a part of me now and I am glad that I played a small part in protecting it.

whychus canyon preserve suggested routes Wagon Road and Meadow Loop: This route follows a portion of the historic Santiam Wagon Road. Interpretive signs along the way share the story of the Wagon Road east of the Cascades and the role it played in the settlement of Central Oregon. This fairly flat trail is lovely in the spring when desert wildflowers begin to bloom. From the trailhead, follow signs to Wagon Road + Meadow Trails. When you see a Santiam Wagon Road interpretive sign on the right, veer off of the road and follow the dirt Wagon Road Trail. After 1.1 miles, you’ll reach a junction. Turn left and follow the trail through juniper and pine forest until you reach another junction after 0.4 miles. Turn left to continue on the Meadow Trail 1 mile back to the trailhead. Total Distance: 2.5 mile loop. Long Canyon Route: Head down into the canyon to Whychus Creek, then stroll along the creek before heading back to the top of the canyon. This beautiful hike is challenging and involves steep trails with 300 feet of elevation gain/loss. Enjoy stunning displays of spring wildflowers, mountain views, and tranquil creekside breaks. From the trailhead, follow signs to Rim + Creek Trails. At the first junction, turn left and walk .3 mile to a stone bench and overlook. The trail will begin to head down into the canyon for .8 miles. You’ll reach an intersection midway down the slope. Follow signs for the Creek Trail to reach the valley floor and walk downstream along Whychus Creek for 0.8 miles. At the next junction, continue straight through a sagebrush meadow for another 0.7 miles. The trail will then turn and begin to climb out of the canyon. Enjoy another scenic overlook before reaching the next junction at the top of the canyon. Follow signs for Meadow Trails and Trailhead for 1.5 miles back to the trailhead. Total Distance: 4.9 mile loop. Mid Canyon Route: This route is for those looking for a quicker route that still dips into the Whychus Creek canyon without all the elevation gain/loss. Enjoy stunning displays of spring wildflowers and mountain views with 150 feet of elevation gain/loss. From the trailhead, follow signs to Rim + Creek Trails. At the first junction, turn right and head down a steep route into the canyon for 0.4 miles. At the next junction, follow signs for the Rim Trail and turn right. After 0.7 miles along a rolling mid-canyon trail, you will reach a scenic overlook and bench with views into the northern portion of Whychus Canyon Preserve. Continue past the overlook to the next junction and turn right. After 0.2 miles you’ll reach another intersection. Turn left to add a quick 0.4 mile detour to another overlook. Or, turn right and follow signs for Meadow Trails and Trailhead for 1.5 miles back to the trailhead. Total Distance: 3.0 mile loop.

State Goals

Safe & Welcoming Environment

Sisters Elementary School has three goals that align with the school district. 1. Every student will be on track for their grade level · We have systems for identifying and supporting our lowest 20% of our students to achieve growth 2. We will support student mental health · We are focusing on Socio Emotional Learning and support systems for all students 3. We will provide options for our students · In connection with our community partners we are providing multiple options for our students including art, music, PE, science club, garden club and Chinese.

The Oregon Department of Education is partnering with school districts and local communities to ensure a 90% ontime, four year graduation rate by 2025. To progress toward this goal, the state will prioritize efforts to improve attendance, provide a well-rounded education, invest in implementing culturally responsive practices, and promote continuous improvement to close opportunity and achievement gaps for historically and currently underserved students.

Our school strives to ensure all students and their parents feel welcome to our school. We have routines and procedures in place that encourage parents to be a part of the educational process for their students while still maintaining a safe and secure building. We have bilingual staff in our office and building who collaborate to support our Spanish speaking families. Socio Emotional Learning (SEL) is a priority and we provide daily instruction and reinforcement in helping our students learn to be accepting and welcoming to all.

About Our School BULLYING, HARASSMENT, AND SAFETY POLICIES

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

PARENT ENGAGEMENT

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

To ensure a safe and secure learning environment for all students, our school implements a PBIS plan and a safety plan. Our administration, counselor, teachers and school staff work with parents and students on a case-by-case basis to address conflict between students and to provide counseling and instruction in positive peer relationships. Our counselor and teachers provide regular, systematic Socio Emotional Learning (SEL) instruction that includes the topics of bullying and harassment. Students who display positive character traits are recognized for their efforts. Our safety plan is reviewed and updated annually and students and staff participate regularly in safety drills. Staff collaborates with our School Resource Officer as needs arise.

It is the goal of Sisters Elementary School to develop each child to their fullest potential. To accomplish this we provide every student with the opportunity to explore multiple disciplines that help them discover and understand their unique interests and abilities. We partner with community organizations to provide activities such as art, Chinese, after school strings, garden club and science club in addition to regularly offered music, physical education and Socio Emotional Learning (SEL).

We value our parents as collaborators and partners. We have an active SPTC (Sisters Parent Teacher Community) that hosts a variety of well attended curriculum nights throughout the year to engage families with the school. Additionally they sponsor three service projects offering our students ways to give back to their community. Twice a year our students showcase their art to our community as a part of our Studio 2 School Grant. This year we also engaged several families in our Latino Family Literacy afternoons and are seeking other ways to expand on our success.

Sisters Elementary School is fortunate to have a community that partners with their schools. We have collaborated with Sisters Folk Festival to implement a five year Studio 2 School grant to bring enriched arts education into our schools. We have an art teacher, artists in residence, and expanded music offerings as a result of this partnership. We also work with the Roundhouse Foundation, The Science Club, Seed to Table, and Sisters Educational Foundation to provide enhanced educational opportunities. Our students engage in three service learning projects throughout the year- a Halloween Candy drive for Operation Gratitude, a sock drive for our FAN program, and a PB&J drive collecting food for our local food bank sponsored by the Kiwanis.

Sisters Middle School goals are focused on holistic wellness, intervention and enrichment offerings, and school-community relationships. During the 2019-2020 school year 100% of our students will have weekly SEL lessons and preventative care guidance lessons, will participate in a PIE (Proactive Interventions & Enrichment) period in their area of need or strength, and will participate in service learning projects.

Students’ sense of security comes through well executed safety plans and the scaffolding of supports put in place for open communication and student wellness. Students, parents and families are welcomed in a variety of ways at Sisters Middle School. Positive relationship building starts at the beginning of the day when students and families are greeted as they enter the door. Parents are communicated with by phone, email, online learning platforms and in-person. The teachers communicate regularly with families and the principal sends monthly newsletters and coffee chats.

Welcome to Central Oregon Where the commute times are short and breathtaking views await you at every turn. The region features dramatic snow-capped mountain ranges and high desert plateaus within Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties. Located halfway between San Francisco and Seattle, the hottest small metropolitan market in the U.S. is Central Oregon. In the last decade the region has seen some of the highest sustained GDP growth, job growth and population growth. With these factors in mind, The Milken Institute has named the region the best small metropolitan in the nation three years in a row – a feat no other location has ever received. Central Oregon is pulling extraordinary talent and capital, fostering a diverse and highly entrepreneurial business ecosystem. Lured by natural scenic beauty and big city amenities (world-class health care, education, dining) without big city costs or hassle, people are learning that having a true work-life balance is possible. Employees are happier; companies are more innovative and capital-efficient. All in a region dominated by small to mid-sized firms that compete globally – and win.

With over 4.5 million visitors flocking to Central Oregon each year, it proves a great introduction to our region’s culture, lifestyle and a great first impression for businesses. Central Oregon and the Bend-Redmond MSA continually top the nation in population growth. In fact Bend has been among the 15 fastest growing cities in the U.S. four of the last five years.

“We fell in love with everything the area has to offer and EDCO gave us the guidance needed to prove our case that Central Oregon is a great place to do business.” - Jeff Cummingham – GM/VP of Global Sales, Aquaglide

Case Study: Last year Aquaglide, one of the world’s premier inflatable water sport product companies, was in the process of being acquired by outdoor industry powerhouse Kent Watersports through Connelly Skis, one of Kent’s iconic brands. EDCO worked with Aquaglide providing location options, cost comparisons and more, to show Kent Watersports the many benefits of relocating Aquaglide to Bend. After months of back and forth discussions, Kent Watersports was convinced that the move was a financially responsible decision and great for their employees. One year later Aquaglide now operates its headquarters from Central Oregon, with a team of 10 which were hired locally. For Aquaglide, the lifestyle and ability to attract the top level talent that Central Oregon provides was the defining factor in relocating to Bend. Page 6 - Economic Development for Central Oregon

“Organizations like EDCO are critical for business creation and development in any community. That said, the wicked smart and driven people that Roger Lee has assembled at EDCO are the best. The team listens to its customers (and community) and pushes hard for big results. Their monthly PubTalk meetups or the Bend Venture Conference (BVC) are two examples of some of the best programs I’ve seen in Oregon. Without EDCO and its incredible team the entrepreneur community in Central Oregon would be greatly disadvantaged. For me, EDCO has provided the platform and resources to move from a big city, start my business and grow into a global leader in our market. Thank you EDCO for all you do!” - Justin Johnson, Founder and CEO – LeadMethod

Case Study: In 2013 LeadMethod Founder & CEO Justin Johnson moved from Seattle to Bend. Unsure how to immerse himself in the business community, he reached out to EDCO for resources that allowed him to connect with many local leaders, influencers and mentors. One local resource he connected with was the Bend Venture Conference, and in 2017 LeadMethod walked away from the annual angel investing event with over $485,000 in funding. The winners of the largest Angel Conference in the West kicked their growth into high gear. The money raised from BVC allowed LeadMethod to increase their staff by 50% and move into a new 5,000 square foot office space, giving them both the manpower and room to scale the business while also adding the ability to test new and innovative ideas. LeadMethod, creator of the first channel revenue optimization software, allows manufacturers and distributors to get more information on the leads provided throughout the entire sales cycle. With 25% of their customers surpassing $1 billion in revenue, they continue to gain industry trust worldwide while expanding their footprint in Bend. Page 8 - Economic Development for Central Oregon

ENTREPRENEURIAL SUPPORT

A driving force for our economic performance is a collaborative and inclusive entrepreneurial community. This is supported via the number of new business registrations, which has outpaced far larger cities. In 2018, Bend entrepreneurs registered one new business for every 26 residents, the most registrations per capita of any medium or large city in the state. The region is large enough to provide resources and access to capital that help new entrepreneurs get started, while still being small enough that those resources are interconnected to support businesses as they grow. Unique to Central Oregon, given its size, are the numerous community resources and assets that are available. Assets managed by EDCO include monthly Central Oregon PubTalks, the Stable of Experts (mentors) and the largest Angel Conference in the West, the Bend Venture Conference.

GROW

We partner with local traded-sector companies to help them grow and expand, offering them the very same incentives and assistance as relocation projects.

“EDCO was an instrumental part in bringing Laird Superfood to Sisters. From connecting us with key employee hires, finding available land to build our new facility, helping us secure forgivable loans with the city and county, leading us through tax incentives, EDCO went above and beyond the call of duty in support of our business. This was the determining factor in building our business in Central Oregon.” -Paul Hodge, CEO, Laird Superfood

Case Study: In November 2015 Laird Superfood started its operations with just three employees in Sisters, Oregon. Their flagship product, Laird Superfood creamer was making waves across the natural products market thanks in-part to the company’s namesake and co-founder, Laird Hamilton. The company creates clean, all natural superfood products that are sustainably grown and responsibly sourced, including coffee creamers and hydration products. Today, the company has over 80 employees and a brand new 20,000+ sq. ft. state-of-the-art campus. A recent investment from global co-working giant WeWork (now The We Company) gave the company the capital needed to continue their expansion with innovative growth plans. What started as an idea would not have been possible in Sisters without help from EDCO. Laird Superfood CEO Paul Hodge had recently moved to the Sisters community and wasn’t convinced manufacturing a globally distributed product would be possible in a city with just 2,700 residents. EDCO quickly aligned city and county leadership, state government and local support to give Laird Superfood the resources needed to launch. From incentives to land selection, workforce and development assistance, EDCO worked closely with the company, providing the necessary help for them to achieve a successful start with roots firmly planted in Sisters.

SERVICES & INFRASTRUCTURE

UTILITIES Because most of our region has been built new in the past two decades, our telecommunications infrastructure is one of the Northwest’s most technologically advanced, meeting business and telecommuting requirements for capacity, redundancy and reliability.

EDUCATION Central Oregon is well-recognized for its high level of education, with some of the best K-12 public schools in the nation. In 2018, the Bend-La Pine school district’s average SAT scores surpassed the national average by over 100 points. Additionally, our higher education opportunities abound. From Oregon State University-Cascades ongoing expansion, to Central Oregon Community College’s four campuses in the region, there are opportunities for all to obtain a quality education.

HEALTHCARE Top quality healthcare is one of Central Oregon’s crown jewels. St. Charles Health System is the largest healthcare provider in the region, and is also the largest employer with over 4,400 employees across the tri-county area. A network of more than 100 clinics and specialty practices further support the community.

2019 Central Oregon Largest 50 Private Employers

Source: State of Oregon Employment Department, 2019

According to the Oregon Employment Department, 78% of Oregon establishments have nine or fewer employees and the average private establishment employs 11 people. Still, a number of large employers operate successfully here, tapping into Central Oregon’s ever-expanding workforce, the overall low cost of doing business and business-friendly local governments. This year, the top 50 private companies collectively employ more than 22,000 Central Oregonians, or roughly 22.5% of the region’s current total employment.

Aviation/Aerospace (Aircraft and related components) The production of light aircraft in Central Oregon spans back more than 30 years and over that time, 25 aircraft have moved through the process of design on paper to flight – several in scaled production. Along with these aircraft, many suppliers of specialized equipment have followed. Our region’s “special sauce” in the industry? Composite (carbon fiber) fabrication and innovation that make our OEM’s and supply chain companies unique on a national and even global scale. But it’s not all just manufacturing. We have some of the most successful flight training programs in the country with both fixed-wing and helicopter flight schools serving the global industry.

Building Products (Windows, Doors, Moldings & Specialty Products) For much of the region’s economic history, wood products manufacturing was the dominant industry employing Central Oregonians and forming the foundation for other business activity. While we’ve diversified dramatically over the past three decades, the manufacturing of products used in residential and commercial construction still plays a very important role for the region’s economy. Competing on a global scale, businesses in this industry have innovated and automated their way to becoming leaders in their respective sub-industries. The region, like Oregon in general, is salted with many specialty wood products companies including cabinet manufacturing, custom furniture and even our own cluster of musical instrument businesses.

Automotive Make no mistake, we’re not the next Detroit of auto manufacturing. We are, however, home to a number of innovative companies in the automotive sector. Les Schwab Tire Centers, with its headquarters in Bend and several million square feet of distribution in Prineville, is just one example. Founded in Central Oregon in 1950, Les Schwab has grown to one of the largest independent tire retailers in the U.S. Meanwhile, German-based Daimler is growing its presence in the U.S. with a state-of-the art truck proving grounds in Madras. A host of small but successful specialty automotive companies call the region home, making everything from race car fuel tanks and push rods to performance components for trucks, motorcycles and propulsion systems.

Advanced Manufacturing Somewhat of a catch-all for a number of established and emerging companies in a widely diverse set of sectors, the region has dozens of manufacturers that are leaders among their peers. Specialties include metal fabrication, precision machining, Swiss machining, industrial coatings, 3-D metal printing, materials conveying systems and technology, and clean room design and manufacturing.

LIFESTYLE Central Oregon is blessed with a rare mix of city amenities and restful isolation. It offers the slower speed of a small town with a medical community and infrastructure not normally seen in a region of its size. Additionally, Central Oregon residents maintain a work/life balance that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.
