Summary

County staff and commissioners discussed the format, timing and assignment of slides for the county’s annual breakfast presentation, agreeing to a roughly 20‑ to 30‑minute slot and division of topics among commissioners.

John Patterson, strategic initiatives manager for Deschutes County, led a follow‑up discussion about the county’s draft presentation for an upcoming annual breakfast event. Commissioners reviewed slide order, timing and which commissioners will present which topics.

Patterson said the presentation would be brief and suggested commissioners introduce legislative priorities only if time permitted. The group agreed to target a 20‑minute presentation but allowed for the possibility of extending to 30 minutes if other guest panels yield unused time. Commissioners assigned topics: one commissioner offered to present affordable housing; another volunteered to discuss Newberry neighborhoods; and others agreed to split groundwater protection, fire preparedness and economic development slides among themselves.

Staff said they would circulate final slides and speaker notes; Patterson said he would print hard copies of the final slide deck with notes for commissioners. The group also confirmed logistics and timing with the event organizer and agreed to adjust if additional minutes become available.

Ending: Staff will finalize slides and distribute them to commissioners in advance of the event; commissioners will rehearse within the agreed time allotment.
