# 09/30/2026 - Board of Commissioners Wednesday Meeting

The Board of Commissioners’ regular meeting was held September 30, 2026. The board approved document 2026-0669, an intergovernmental agreement with Bend-La Pine Schools to continue the Healthy Schools program. The discussion covered voluntary staff-hour reductions and program staffing; the county’s general-fund contribution was stated as $48,526, with the transcript also citing $667,000 in connection with the agreement. One commissioner abstained and the other two voted yes. The board also agreed to provide $2,500 toward the La Pine Chamber of Commerce’s participation in Visit Central Oregon’s cooperative marketing campaign. Staff said the request was eligible for video lottery funding and would prepare a grant agreement; the funding was to come from discretionary allocations rather than contingency funds.

The board adopted Ordinance 2026-011, updating county code for the transition to a five-member commission, and presented awards recognizing bicycle and pedestrian safety advocacy; neither involved a contract award. Commissioners discussed the need for additional state support for wolf-livestock depredation compensation and advocated for timely opening of a secure residential treatment facility, but took no related procurement or spending action. No vendor selection or bid approval was identified.
