6/01/2026 - Board of Commissioners - Monday Meeting

The June 1, 2026 meeting of the Jesuits County Board of Commissioners included several procurement-related discussions and contract considerations. The board approved a letter of support for the Oregon Department of Transportation's (ODOT) grant application under the Wildlife Crossing Pilot Program to fund design and engineering of the Bend to Subtle Lake wildlife passage project. Commissioners discussed project scope, funding status, and anticipated costs. Additionally, the board reviewed an update on the courthouse expansion project, noting it was 88% complete with ongoing work and budget contingencies being managed. A key procurement action was the board's notice of intent to award a contract to First Light Incorporated for daily participant support and service coordination at the managed camp in East Redmond, with a 7-day protest period before final contract negotiations. The board also discussed scheduling considerations for upcoming meetings and briefly touched on planning and zoning matters related to the 2040 comprehensive plan. No final votes on the comprehensive plan were taken, but a motion to initiate limited remand proceedings was moved and seconded. The meeting concluded with an executive session on labor negotiations.
