04/20/2026 - Board of Commissioners - Monday Meeting

The Board of Commissioners held a meeting on April 20, 2026, which included updates on a new child psychiatric residential treatment facility in Redmond. The project involves a public-private partnership with Jackson House and Headwaters Behavioral Health as the operator, with a 15-bed secure facility planned. Funding sources include $3 million from the Oregon Health Authority, $3.1 million from the state legislature for construction, and additional funds from congressional directed spending and PacificSource. The county is responsible for overseeing the allocation of these funds and ensuring compliance with contractual requirements, though it will not own or operate the facility. The facility is expected to begin construction in July 2026 with a 12-month timeline. The meeting also covered financial reports including the county's investment portfolio, budget updates, and fund balances, with no significant changes to projections. No procurement actions such as contract awards or RFPs were reported during this meeting.
