whychus canyon preserve trail map + rules of use

Whychus Canyon Preserve Rules: —Dogs must be kept on physical leash AT ALL TIMES. Please clean up after your pet. —Pedestrian travel only: no bike, horse, or motorized vehicle use.

deschuteslandtrust.org

—Stay on roads and trails and respect restrictions as posted. —Removal or disturbance of plants, wildlife, and historical artifacts is prohibited. —Catch and release fishing with barbless hooks is permitted subject to applicable state regulations. —Commercial use and private events are prohibited. —No hunting, motorized vehicles, camping, campfires, smoking, or unmanned aircraft use.

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.

Interior Area is a per floor calculation, made by measuring to the inside surface of the exterior walls. The footprint of all interior walls and staircases is typically

included.

Excluded Area is a sum of the area of all rooms (measured to the inside surface of room walls) that are excluded from the Interior Area for a floor and the

footprint of corresponding walls. Prescribed area exclusions can vary from region to region. Examples of exclusions are spaces open to below, garages, cold cellars, crawl and reduced height spaces. Exterior Wall Footprint is the sum of the estimated area of the perimeter wall segments bounding both Interior and Excluded Areas.

Exterior Area is a per floor calculation, made by measuring to the outside surface of the exterior walls and is represented by the sum of the Interior Area and

the Exterior Wall Footprint.

Grade is the ground level at the perimeter of the exterior finished surface of a house. A floor is considered to be above grade if its floor level is everywhere

above grade.

Total Interior Area is the sum of all Interior Areas. Total Excluded Area is the sum of all Excluded Areas. Total Exterior Area is the sum of all Exterior Areas. Finished Area is a per floor calculation made by adding all enclosed areas in a house that are suitable for year-round use based upon their location, embodying

walls, floors, and ceilings and which are similar to the rest of the house. Footprint of walls is attributed to finished area only when the walls are bounding finished areas. Unfinished Area is a per floor calculation made by adding all enclosed areas that do not meet the criteria for Finished Area. Exceptions are outdoor and

non-walkable areas, for example porches or areas open to below. Footprint of walls is attributed to unfinished area only when the walls are exclusively bounding unfinished areas. Notes

For exterior walls that are adjacent to the outside of the property, where typically only the interior side has measurement data, an estimation of the exterior wall thickness (as directly measured at the property) is used to calculate its footprint. Considerations are not made for varying wall thickness along the perimeter. Disclaimer All dimensions and floor areas must be considered approximate and are subject to independent verification.

PRESIDENT’S GREETING AND CALL TO ORDER Jeff Snyder • Annual meeting was held at 10:00 a.m. at the home of Rick and Noelle Fredland, 68879 Chestnut Drive, Sisters, OR. 97759, on Saturday, June 19, 2021. • Roll call was done and a quorum was established with robust attendance of 94% including proxys. Lots represented in person or by proxy: 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,32, 33. Lots with no response: 6,8A,17,31. VICE-PRESIDENT UPDATE Robert Hamerly • All new residents were present and it was a pleasure meeting Mike and Kari Schneider, Kent and Cathy Wilson, Ian Tomlinson, Bill and Meg Anderson. SECRETARY’S REPORT Chrissy Snyder • The Minutes of the Annual 2020 HOA Meeting Revision A were approved without any corrections. • Dues for 2021 – 2022 were confirmed at $200.00, with an additional Road Project Assessment of $500.00. The due date for this $700.00 payment is June 1st with a delinquency of date of July 1, 2021. Late fees will begin accruing as of August 1, 2021. Send your check payable to Indian Ridge, Inc.: P.O. Box 793, Sisters, OR 97759. . TREASURER’S REPORT Kim Davis • Financials were reviewed: Cash on hand as of May 31, 2021 is $19,864.99. After our Road Project is completed, we will have $6 – 7K in Reserves. There is a potential need for funds based on winter plowing. ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE REPORT Andy Anderson • Andy reviewed all the approved construction plans for the past year. • Meaning of “Outbuilding” was explained. Each lot is allowed three (3) outbuildings. A three-sided, roofed structure (often called a horse run-in or ramada) is not considered an outbuilding. • Homeowners need to contact Andy and obtain approval by the Arch. Committee before beginning any painting, re-modeling, or new construction. • Meg Anderson has volunteered to be on this committee. Thank you, Meg!! ROAD COMMITTEE REPORT Kevin Hodgson • Summer 2021 Road Project will begin the Week of August 9th. Work will begin at the top of Barclay Drive where the corner heads south. The project starts with sweeping, gravel, and asphalt overlay. One week later, rock will be placed at the road shoulder for support. Tri-County will provide traffic control however, if you’re

• •

thinking of taking a holiday, this might be a great week to do it! The total for this project is $54K and costs are shared by our neighboring HOA. Bob Riede has volunteered to be on the Road committee!! Rick Fredland has volunteered to be on the Road committee!!

NEW BUSINESS Jeff Snyder • Emergency Exit Update was given. • Fire Prevention: Trees along the roadway belong to each lot owner (not the HOA’s responsibility) and need to be maintained and trimmed at the lot owner’s expense to allow for vehicle and fire truck clearance. Check with an arborist regarding the best time of year to trim. Keep tree trunks free of “ladder fuel”. • There is suggestion of raising our annual dues in order to avoid future emergency funding requests. A study will be done, specifically for road maintenance, to see what future yearly expenditures look like and we can then consider an appropriate new annual dues amount to vote on. • There is suggestion of better-clarifying the number of allowed outbuildings, in our CC & R’s. Jim Barnett has offered his attorney-at-law services to assist in making changes. Any changes in verbiage would be put to a vote • There is an outdated regulation regarding voting only by mail. Adding the ability to vote via e-mail is something we could clarify. This will be put to a vote. • There is an article in the C&R’s stating proposed changes must be given no less than thirty but not more than forty-five days prior to such proposal. A change has been suggested to allow the Board to declare an Emergency, without any time element, if appropriate. NEXT ANNUAL HOA MEETING & LOCATION • Next annual meeting will be on Saturday, June 18, 2022 at the home of Mark and Kristina May. Thank you for volunteering your home as a meeting place!! ADJOURNMENT • With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at Noon. 2021 - 2022 Board Members and Contact Information President: Jeff Snyder 541-550-9698 WildHorseRidge@Yahoo.com Vice President: Robert Hamerly 541-330-8767 Robert.Hamerly@GreenSavers.com Secretary: Chrissy Snyder 541-848-8897 EndoftheRoadRanch16@gmail.com Treasurer: Kim Davis 541-645-0059 Davis331@live.com Road Committee: Kevin Hodgson 206-940-5680 Hodgson@uw.edu Architectural Committee: Andy Anderson 541-549-0608 CaptMooney@live.com Board Member At Large: Ed Johnson 541-549-9905 ekjohn61@aol.com Respectfully Submitted, Chrissy Snyder Secretary, Wild Horse Ridge HOA 541-848-8897 End of the RoadRanch16@gmail.com

If a conflict in regulations or standards occurs, the more restrictive provisions shall govern. The purpose of the AS Zone is to restrict incompatible land uses and airspace obstructions around airports in an effort to maintain an airport’s maximum benefit. The imaginary surfaces and zones; boundaries and their use limitations comprise the AS Zone. Any uses permitted outright or by conditional use in the underlying zone are allowed except as provided for in DCC 18.80.044, 18.80.050, 18.80.054, 18.80.056 and 18.80.058. The protection of each airport’s imaginary surfaces will be accomplished through the use of those

land use controls deemed necessary to protect the community it serves. Incompatible uses may include the height of trees, buildings, structures or other items and uses that would be subject to frequent aircraft over-flight or might intrude into areas used by aircraft.

18.80.020 Application Of Provisions The provisions of DCC 18.80.020 shall only apply to unincorporated areas located under airport imaginary surfaces and zones, including approach surfaces, transitional surfaces, horizontal surfaces, conical surfaces and runway protection zones. While DCC 18.80 identifies dimensions for the entire imaginary surface and zone, parts of the surfaces and/or zones do not apply within the Redmond, Bend or Sisters Urban Growth Boundaries. The Redmond Airport is owned and operated by the City of Redmond, and located wholly within the Redmond City Limits. Imaginary surface dimensions vary for each airport covered by DCC 18.80.020. Based on the classification of each individual airport, only those portions (of the AS Zone) that overlay existing County zones are relevant. Public use airports covered by DCC 18.80.020 include Redmond Municipal, Bend Municipal, Sunriver and Sisters Eagle Air. Although it is a public-use airport, due to its size and other factors, the County treats land uses surrounding the Sisters Eagle Air Airport based on the ORS 836.608 requirements for private-use airports. The Oregon Department of Aviation is still studying what land use requirements will ultimately be applied to Sisters. However, contrary to the requirements of ORS 836.608, as will all public-use airports, federal law requires that the FAA Part 77 surfaces must be applied. The private-use airports covered by DCC 18.80.020 include Cline Falls Airpark and Juniper Airpark. HISTORY Adopted by Ord.

Average day-night sound level is the FAA standard measure for determining the cumulative exposure of individuals to noise. DNL is the equivalent of noise levels produced by aircraft operations during a 24-hour period, with a ten-decibel penalty applied to the level measured during nighttime hours (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 am). N. Conical Surface. An element of the airport imaginary surfaces that extends outward and upward from the periphery of the horizontal surface at a slope of 20:1 for a horizontal distance of 4,000 feet and to a vertical height of 350 feet above the airport elevation. O. Department of Aviation. The Oregon Department of Aviation, formerly the Aeronautics Division of the Oregon Department of Transportation. P. FAA. Federal Aviation Administration. Q.

Regulation, Part 77, “Objects Affecting Navigable Airspace,” establishes standards for determining obstructions to navigable airspace. T. Height. The highest point of a structure or tree, plant or other object of natural growth, measured from mean sea level. U. Horizontal Surface. A horizontal plane 150 feet above the established airport elevation, the perimeter of which is constructed by swinging arcs of specified radii from the center of each end of the primary surface of each runway of each airport and connecting the adjacent arcs by lines tangent to those arcs. The radius of each arc is:

1. 5,000 feet for all runways designated as utility. 2. 10,000 feet for all other runways. 3. The radius of the arc specified for each end of a runway will have the same arithmetical value. That value will be the highest determined for either end of the runway. When a 5,000-foot arc is encompassed by tangents connecting two adjacent 10,000-foot arcs, the 5,000-foot arc shall be disregarded on the construction of the perimeter of the horizontal surface. V. Non-precision Instrument Runway. A runway having an existing instrument approach procedure utilizing air navigation facilities with only horizontal guidance, or area type navigation equipment, for which a straight-in non-precision instrument approach has been approved, or planned, and for which no precision approach facilities are planned or indicated on an FAA-approved airport layout plan or other FAA planning document. W. Non-Towered Airport. An airport without an existing or approved control tower. X. Obstruction. Any structure or tree, plant or other object of natural growth that penetrates an imaginary surface. Y. Other than Utility Runway. A runway that is constructed for and intended to be used by turbine-driven aircraft or by propellerdriven aircraft exceeding 12,500 pounds gross weight. Z. Precision Instrument Runway. A runway having an existing instrument approach procedure utilizing air navigation facilities that provide both horizontal and vertical guidance, such as an Instrument Landing System (ILS) or Precision Approach Radar (PAR). It also means a runway for which a precision approach system is planned and is so indicated by an FAA-approved airport layout plan or other FAA planning document. AA. Primary Surface. A surface longitudinally centered on a runway. For the Redmond, Bend, Sunriver, and Sisters airports, when a runway has a specially prepared hard surface, the primary surface extends 200 feet beyond each end of that runway. When a runway has no specially prepared hard surface, or planned hard surface, the primary surface ends at each end of that runway. The elevation of any point on the primary surface is the same as the elevation of the nearest point on the runway centerline. The width of the primary surface is: 1. 250 feet for utility runways with only visual approaches, 2. 500 feet for utility runways having non-precision instrument approaches, 3. 500 feet for other than utility runways having non-precision instrument approaches with visibility minimums greater than three-fourths statute mile, and 4. 1,000 feet for non-precision instrument runways with visibility minimums at or below three-fourths statute mile, and for precision instrument runways. For the Cline Falls and Juniper airports, the primary surface ends at each end of a runway. The elevation of any point on the primary surface is the same as the elevation of the nearest point on the runway centerline. The width of the primary surface is 200

feet. AB. Public Assembly Facility. A permanent or temporary structure or facility, place or activity where concentrations of people gather in reasonably close quarters for purposes such as deliberation, education, worship, shopping, employment, entertainment, recreation, sporting events, or similar activities. Public assembly facilities include, but are not limited to, schools, religious institutions or assemblies, conference or convention facilities, employment and shopping centers, arenas, athletic fields, stadiums, clubhouses, museums, and similar facilities and places, but do not include parks, golf courses or similar facilities unless used in a manner where people are concentrated in reasonably close quarters. Public assembly facilities also do not include air shows, structures or uses approved by the FAA in an adopted airport master plan, or places where people congregate for short periods of time such as parking lots or bus stops. AC. Runway. A defined area on an airport prepared for landing and takeoff of aircraft along its length. AD. Runway Protection Zone (RPZ). An area off the runway end used to enhance the protection of people and property on the ground. The RPZ is trapezoidal in shape and centered about the extended runway centerline. The inner width of the RPZ is the same as the width of the primary surface. The outer width of the RPZ is a function of the type of aircraft and specified approach visibility minimum associated with the runway end. The RPZ extends from each end of the primary surface for a horizontal distance of: 1. 1,000 feet for utility runways. 2. 1,700 feet for other than utility runways having non-precision instrument approaches. 3. 2,500 feet for precision instrument runways. [NOTE: the outer width of the RPZ is specified by airport type in OAR 660, Division 13, Exhibit 4] AE. Significant. As it relates to bird strike hazards, "significant" means a level of increased flight activity by birds across an approach surface or runway that is more than incidental or occasional, considering the existing ambient level of flight activity by birds in the vicinity. AF. Structure. Any constructed or erected object, which requires a location on the ground or is attached to something located on the ground.

18.80.030 Redmond Municipal Airport The Redmond Municipal Airport is a Category 1, Commercial Service Airport. Its function is to accommodate scheduled major/national or regional commuter commercial air carrier service. The two approximately 7,040' long by 100’-150' wide, “other than utility” paved runways are located at an elevation of 3,077’. The proposed extension to runway 4-22 and the planned new parallel runway are both identified on the FAA-adopted Airport Layout Plan. Therefore, these improvements are used in the layout of the Airport Safety Combining Zone. The same safety zone dimensional standards used for Runway 4-22 will also apply to the planned parallel runway. A. Primary Surface - For Redmond, the primary surfaces are 1,000' wide by 7,440' long for Runway 10-28, 1,000’ wide by 9,100’ long for Runway 4-22, and 1,000’ wide by 7,400’ long for the proposed new parallel runway. B. Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) - Two different RPZs apply to the Redmond Airport because it has a total of three potential runways with two possible approaches. Runway 4-22 and the planned parallel runway will both have precision approaches. Runway 10-28 has a non-precision approach on each end. The precision RPZ forms a 1,000' wide by 2,500' long by 1,750' wide trapezoid while the non-precision RPZ forms a 500' wide by 1,700' long by 1,010' wide trapezoid. C. Approach Surface - The current ILS precision approach surface to runway 22, and the planned precision approaches to Runway 4 and future parallel runway 4-22, are 1,000' wide by 50,000' long by 16,000' wide, with an upward approach slope ratio of 50:1(one foot vertical for each 50 feet horizontal) for the first 10,000’, then a slope ratio of 40:1 for the remaining 40,000’. The non-precision approach surface is 500' wide by 10,000' long by 3,500' wide, with an upward approach slope ratio of 34:1. D. Horizontal Surface - The surface boundary is comprised of connected arcs drawn 10,000 feet outward and centered on the ends of the primary surface.

18.80.044 Land Use Compatibility Applications for land use or building permits for properties within the boundaries of this overlay zone shall comply with the requirements of DCC 18.80 as provided herein. When compatibility issues arise, the Planning Director or Hearings Body is required to take actions that eliminate or minimize the incompatibility by choosing the most compatible location or design for the boundary or use. Where compatibility issues persist, despite actions or conditions intended to eliminate or minimize the incompatibility, the Planning Director or Hearings Body may disallow the use or expansion, except where the action results in loss of current operational levels and/or the ability of the airport to grow to meet future community needs. Reasonable conditions to protect the public safety may be imposed by the Planning Director or Hearings Body. [ORS 836.619; ORS 836.623(1); OAR 660-013-0080] A. Noise. Within airport noise impact boundaries, land uses shall be established consistent with the levels identified in OAR 660, Division 13, Exhibit 5 (Table 2 of DCC 18.80). Applicants for any subdivision or partition approval or other land use approval or building permit affecting land within airport noise impact boundaries, shall sign and record in the Deschutes County Book of Records, a Declaration of Anticipated Noise declaring that the applicant and his successors will not now, or in the future complain about the allowed airport activities at the adjacent airport. In areas where the noise level is anticipated to be at or above 55 DNL, prior to issuance of a building permit for construction of a noise sensitive land use (real property normally used for sleeping or as a school, religious institutions or assemblies, hospital, public library or similar use), the permit applicant shall be required to demonstrate that a noise abatement strategy will be incorporated into the building design that will achieve an indoor noise level equal to or less than 55 DNL. [NOTE: FAA Order 5100.38D provides that interior noise levels should not exceed 45 decibels in all habitable zones.] B. Outdoor lighting. No new or expanded industrial, commercial or recreational use shall project lighting directly onto an existing runway or taxiway or into existing airport approach surfaces except where necessary for safe and convenient air travel. Lighting for these uses shall incorporate shielding in their designs to reflect light away from airport approach surfaces. No use shall imitate airport lighting or impede the ability of pilots to distinguish between airport lighting and other lighting. C. Glare. No glare producing material, including but not limited to unpainted metal or reflective glass, shall be used on the exterior of structures located within an approach surface or on nearby lands where glare could impede a pilot's vision.

D. Industrial emissions. No new industrial, mining or similar use, or expansion of an existing industrial, mining or similar use, shall, as part of its regular operations, cause emissions of smoke, dust or steam that could obscure visibility within airport approach surfaces, except upon demonstration, supported by substantial evidence, that mitigation measures imposed as approval conditions will reduce the potential for safety risk or incompatibility with airport operations to an insignificant level. The review authority shall impose such conditions as necessary to ensure that the use does not obscure visibility. E. Communications Facilities and Electrical Interference. No use shall cause or create electrical interference with navigational signals or radio communications between an airport and aircraft. Proposals for the location of new or expanded radio, radiotelephone, and television transmission facilities and electrical transmission lines within this overlay zone shall be coordinated with the Department of Aviation and the FAA prior to approval. Approval of cellular and other telephone or radio communication towers on leased property located within airport imaginary surfaces shall be conditioned to require their removal within 90 days following the expiration of the lease agreement. A bond or other security shall be required to ensure this result. F. Limitations and Restrictions on Allowed Uses in the RPZ, Transitional Surface, Approach Surface, and Airport Direct and Secondary Impact Areas. For the Redmond, Bend, Sunriver, and Sisters airports, the land uses identified in DCC 18.80 Table 1, and their accessory uses, are permitted, permitted under limited circumstances, or prohibited in the manner therein described. In the event of conflict with the underlying zone, the more restrictive provisions shall control.

New or expanded water impoundments of one-quarter acre in size or larger are permitted: 1. Within 10,000 feet from the end or edge of a runway (outside an approach surface), or 2. Between 5,000 feet and 40,000 feet within an approach surface for an airport with a precision instrument approach, unless Deschutes County first adopts findings of fact, supported by substantial evidence in the record, that the impoundments are likely to result in a significant increase in hazardous movements of birds feeding, watering or roosting in areas across the runways or approach corridors. [NOTE: FAA Part 77 discourages water impoundments within 50,000 feet of a runway, within an approach surface.] [ORS 836.623(2)(c); OAR 660, Division 13, Exhibit 1, Section 3(b)(C)] C. Process. An application for approval of a new water impoundment shall be considered utilizing the review process applied to applications for conditional use permits. In addition to the parties required by law to be mailed written notice of the public hearing on the application, written notice of the hearing shall be mailed to the airport sponsor, the Seattle Airports District Office of the FAA, the FAA's technical representative, and the Oregon Department of Aviation. 1. Prior to filing its application, the applicant shall coordinate with the airport sponsor, the Department of Aviation, and the FAA (Seattle Airports District Office) and FAA's technical representative regarding the proposed water impoundment, its short and long term potential to significantly increase hazardous movements of birds feeding, watering or roosting in areas across runways or approach surfaces, and proposed mitigation. a. For water impoundments individually or cumulatively exceeding five acres in size on the subject property, the applicant shall prepare a draft bird strike study as provided in DCC 18.80.072(C)(1)(a). The airport sponsor, the Department of Aviation, and the FAA and FAA's technical representative shall have 45 days to review the study draft. Their comments shall be included and addressed in a final bird strike study.

b. For water impoundments that do not individually or cumulatively exceed five acres in size on the subject property, the bird strike study requirements in DCC 18.80.072(B)(2) may be reduced or waived upon agreement by the airport sponsor, the Department of Aviation, and the FAA and FAA's technical representative if the applicant can demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the airport sponsor, the Department of Aviation, and the FAA and FAA's technical representative that the proposed water impoundment, with appropriate short and long term mitigation, will not result in a significant increase in hazardous movements of birds feeding, watering or roosting in areas across runways or approach surfaces. As used herein, "appropriate mitigation" means small-scale measures of proven reliability that can be applied in perpetuity and that the applicant has the financial resources to support. c. An application shall not be deemed complete for land use review purposes until the applicant has filed with the Director the final bird strike study addressing comments from the airport sponsor, the Department of Aviation, and the FAA and FAA's technical representative. When no bird strike study is required, the application shall not be deemed complete until the applicant has filed with the Director correspondence or other proof demonstrating agreement among the airport sponsor, the Department of Aviation, and the FAA and FAA's technical representative that no bird strike study is required. 2. Bird Strike Study. A bird strike study required under DCC 18.80.072 shall contain at least the following information: a. A description of the proposed project, its location in relation to the airport, and the bird strike study area, which shall include at least the project site, the airport property, all lands within 10,000 feet from the end or edge of the airport runway, and other surrounding habitat areas which form the local bird ecosystem. b. A description of bird feeding, watering and roosting habitats in the bird strike study area, including discussion of feeding behavior and food sources and identification of loafing, watering, roosting and nesting area locations. c. A description of existing and planned airport operations and air traffic patterns and any available history of bird strike incidents. d. Wildlife surveys and documentation of existing bird species, populations, activities and flight patterns in the bird strike study area. The surveys shall address bird species and their composition; bird population estimates and densities per unit area; feeding behavior; food sources; seasonal use patterns; frequency of occurrence; location of loafing, roosting and nesting areas; and analysis of the relation of bird flight movements to airport traffic patterns and navigational safety. The airport sponsor shall provide approach and departure air space information up to five statutory miles from the airport. e. An evaluation of the anticipated effects of the proposal on the population density, behavior patterns, movements and species composition of birds within the bird strike study area and of the impact of these effects on air navigation and safety considering possible mitigation. f. Identification and evaluation of proposed and alternative short and long term mitigation measures that would prevent a significant increase in hazardous movements of birds feeding, watering or roosting in areas across runways and approach surfaces that otherwise might result from the proposed use. The evaluation shall discuss the proven reliability of proposed measures, their effectiveness over both the short and long term, their costs, and

the applicant's financial ability to assure their perpetual implementation, i.e. ongoing implementation for as long as a potential bird strike hazard persists. g. Such other information as is recommended by the FAA's technical representative or is required to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of DCC 18.80.072(C)(3). 3. Required Findings. The determination whether a proposed new water impoundment, with reasonable and practicable mitigation measures, is likely to significantly increase hazardous movements of birds feeding, watering or roosting in areas across runways or approach surfaces shall be based upon the proposal's potential, both in the short term and in the long term, to significantly increase bird strike hazards to air navigation, and the appropriateness, effectiveness and affordability of proposed mitigation measures or other conditions needed to reduce bird strike hazards. In determining compliance with this standard, the findings shall address each of the following factors: a. The demonstrated overall effectiveness and reliability of proposed measures and conditions, in both the short and long term and under similar circumstances and conditions, to avoid a significant increase in bird strike hazards to air navigation. Experimental measures or measures not based on accepted technology and industry practices shall be considered ineffective, inappropriate and of unproven reliability. b. The economic, social and environmental impacts of proposed measures to the neighboring community and the affected natural environment. c. The applicant's ability to pay for necessary short and long-term mitigation measures, including fallback measures that may be required if initially proposed mitigation measures prove ineffective, and to assure the perpetual implementation of those measures for as long as a potential bird strike hazard persists. An applicant's failure to demonstrate its financial ability to assure the perpetual implementation of necessary and appropriate measures shall render those measures unreasonable and impracticable for purposes of the application. d. The applicant's ability to accurately monitor the effectiveness of mitigation over time. e. The potential impacts to navigational safety and air travel if the applicant cannot perform necessary mitigation measures or maintain those measures in perpetuity, or if those measures prove to be ineffective at avoiding a significant increase in bird strike hazards to air navigation. f. The applicant's reclamation plan. 4. Mitigation Measures and Approval Conditions. A decision approving an application shall require, as conditions of approval, all measures and conditions deemed appropriate and necessary to prevent in perpetuity a significant increase in hazardous movements of birds feeding, watering or roosting in areas across runways and approach surfaces. a. Only customary measures based on accepted technology and industry practice may be considered and imposed as approval conditions. b. Serious consideration shall be given to all measures and conditions recommended by the Department of Aviation and the FAA and FAA's technical representative. Generally, such measures and conditions shall be attached to a decision approving an application unless findings are adopted, supported by substantial evidence, demonstrating

why such measures and conditions are not necessary to reduce bird hazard impacts resulting from the water impoundment to an insignificant level. c. A decision to approve shall require from the applicant a performance bond or other form of secure financial support. Such bond or security shall be in an amount sufficient to assure perpetual implementation of appropriate and necessary mitigation measures for as long as a potential bird strike hazard persists. d. A decision to approve shall require appropriate monitoring of the effectiveness of mitigation over time. Upon request, monitoring data and reports shall be made available to the airport sponsor, the Department of Aviation, and the FAA and FAA's technical representative. The decision shall allow for modifications to approval conditions should existing mitigation measures prove ineffective at preventing a significant increase in hazardous movements of birds feeding, watering or roosting in areas across runways and approach surfaces. Modifications to approval conditions shall be considered utilizing the review process applied to applications for conditional use permits. 5. Exemptions. The requirements of DCC 18.80.072 shall not apply to: a. Storm water management basins established by an airport identified under ORS 836.610(1). b. Seaplane landing areas within airports identified under ORS 836.610(1). c. Lands owned or managed by Sunriver Resort, Crosswater and their affiliates.

18.80.074 Wetland Mitigation, Creation, Enhancement And Restoration A. Notwithstanding the requirements of DCC 18.80.072, wetland mitigation, creation, enhancement or restoration projects located within areas regulated under DCC 18.080.072 shall be allowed upon demonstration of compliance with this requirements of DCC 18.80.074. B. Wetland mitigation, creation, enhancement or restoration projects existing or approved on the effective date of this ordinance and located within areas regulated under DCC 18.80.072 are recognized as lawfully existing uses. C. To help avoid increasing safety hazards to air navigation near public use airports, the establishment of wetland mitigation banks in the vicinity of such airports but outside approach surfaces the areas regulated under DCC 18.80.072 is encouraged. D. Applications to expand wetland mitigation projects in existence as of the effective date of this ordinance, and new wetland mitigation projects, that are proposed within areas regulated under DCC 18.80.072 shall be considered utilizing the review process applied to applications for conditional use permits and shall be permitted upon demonstration that:

1. The affected wetlands provide unique ecological functions, such as critical habitat for threatened or endangered species or ground water discharge, and it is not practicable to provide the mitigation off-site; and 2. The wetland creation, enhancement or restoration is designed and will be maintained in perpetuity in a manner that will not increase hazardous movements of birds feeding, watering or roosting in areas across runways or approach surfaces. E. Wetland mitigation permitted under DCC 18.80.074(D) shall be designed and located to avoid creating a wildlife hazard or increasing hazardous movements of birds across runways or approach surfaces. F. Proposals for new or expanded wetland mitigation, creation, enhancement or restoration projects regulated under DCC 18.80.074 shall be coordinated with the airport sponsor, the Department of Aviation, the FAA and FAA's technical representative, the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife (ODFW), the Oregon Division of State Lands (DSL), the US Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) as part of the permit application.

18.80.076 Water Impoundment Notification A. Deschutes County shall provide notice to the Oregon Department of Aviation when it, or its designee, receives an application for a comprehensive plan amendment, zone change or permit as defined in ORS 215.402 or 227.160 that, if approved, would result in a water impoundment larger than one-quarter acre within 10,000 feet of the Redmond, Bend, Sunriver or Sisters Airports. B. A final determination regarding a new water impoundment described in ORS 836.623 shall be made by local governments as provided in ORS 836.623. HISTORY Adopted by Ord. PL-15 on 11/1/1979 Repealed & Reenacted by Ord. 91-020 §1 on 5/29/1991 Amended by Ord. 2001-001 §2 on 1/22/2001

18.80.078 FAA Notification (Form 7460-1) A. Federal and State Notice. Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 77 requires that anyone proposing to construct anything which may obstruct the use of airspace by aircraft to provide a notice to that effect to the FAA. In addition, OAR 738.070.0060 requires notice also be sent to the Oregon Department of Aviation. Generally, construction proposals in the vicinity of airports may obstruct airspace. Notice to the

FAA and Oregon Department of Aviation is required for anything which may affect landing areas, either existing or planned, which are open to the public, or are operated by one of the armed forces. B. FAA Form 7460-1 "Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration" is the notification form. It is to be submitted by the applicant directly to the FAA and Oregon Department of Aviation. Forms are available from the Oregon Department of Aviation or the Northwest Regional Office of the FAA. C. FAA Form 7460-1 should be submitted if the proposed construction or alteration meets the following criteria: 1. Anything over 200' AGL (above ground level at the site). 2. Proposals in the vicinity of an airport, if the proposal would be higher than a slope from the nearest point on a runway and increasing its elevation at a ratio of: Longest Runway

Proximity to Runway

Slope

> 3,200’

Within 20,000’

100 to 1

3,200’ or less

Within 10,000’

50 to 1

For a Heliport

Within 5,000’

25 to 1

D. For identification purposes, Deschutes County has established FAA Notification Areas around each of the public use airports within Deschutes County. The boundaries of these areas are based on the runway length. If a proposed construction project is located in one of these areas, the applicant shall determine if the height of the proposed project will require FAA notification as per DCC 18.80.076(C). In Deschutes County, each of the public-use airports has a runway longer than 3,200 feet. Therefore, each FAA notification area includes all land within 20,000 feet of each airport’s runway(s), and the slope to be used is 100 to 1. E. FAA notification is NOT required for any of the following construction or alteration: 1. Any object that would be shielded by existing structures of a permanent and substantial character or by natural terrain or topographic features of equal or greater height, and would be located in the congested area of a city, town, or settlement where it is evident beyond all reasonable doubt that the structure so shielded will not adversely affect safety in air navigation. 2. Any antenna structure of 20 feet or less in height except one that would increase the height of another antenna structure. 3. Any air navigation facility, airport visual approach or landing aid, aircraft arresting device, or meteorological device, of a type approved by the Administrator, or an appropriate military service on military airports, the location and height of which is fixed by its functional purpose. 4. Any construction or alteration for which notice is required by any other FAA regulation.

Key to Table: P = Use is Permitted. L = Use is Allowed Under Limited Circumstances (see notes). N = Use is Not Allowed. Numbers in parentheses refer to notes on next page. Notes for Table 1: 1. No structures shall be allowed within the Runway Protection Zone. Exceptions shall be made only for structures accessory to airport operations whose location within the RPZ has been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration. 2. In the RPZ, public airport uses are restricted to those uses and facilities that require location in the RPZ. 3. Farming practices that minimize wildlife attractants are encouraged. 4. Roads and parking areas are permitted in the RPZ only upon demonstration that there are no practicable alternatives. Lights, guardrails and related accessory structures are prohibited. Cost may be considered in determining whether practicable alternatives exist. 5. In the RPZ, utilities, power lines and pipelines must be underground. In approach surfaces and in airport direct and secondary impact areas, the proposed height of utilities shall be coordinated with the airport sponsor and the Department of Aviation. 6. Public assembly facilities are prohibited within the RPZ. 7. Golf courses may be permitted only upon demonstration, supported by substantial evidence, that management techniques will be utilized to reduce existing wildlife attractants and avoid the creation of new wildlife attractants. Such techniques shall be required as conditions of approval. Structures are not permitted within the RPZ. For purposes of DCC 18.80, tee markers, tee signs, pin cups and pins are not considered to be structures. 8. Within 10,000 feet from the end of the primary surface of a non-precision instrument runway, and within 50,000 feet from the end of the primary surface of a precision instrument runway. 9. Public assembly facilities may be allowed in an approach surface only if the potential danger to public safety is minimal. In determining whether a proposed use is appropriate, consideration shall be given to: proximity to the RPZ; density of people per acre; frequency of use; level of activity at the airport; and other factors relevant to public safety. In general, high-density uses should not be permitted within airport approach surfaces, and non-residential structures should be located outside approach surfaces unless no practicable alternatives exist. 10. Residential densities within approach surfaces should not exceed the following densities: (1) within 500 feet of the outer edge of the RPZ, 1 unit/acre; (2) within 500 to 1,500 feet of the outer edge of the RPZ, 2 units/acre; (3) within 1,500 to 3,000 feet of the outer edge of the RPZ, 4 units/acre. 11. Mining operations involving the creation or expansion of water impoundments shall comply with the requirements of DCC 18.80 regulating water impoundments. 12. See DCC 18.80.072 regulating water impoundments. 13. See requirements in DCC 18.80.074. 14. Overnight accommodations, such as hotels, motels, hospitals and dormitories, are not permitted. 15. Due to land availability constraints, limited wastewater treatment plants within the Secondary Impact Area are permitted on lands owned or managed by the Sunriver Resort or Sunriver utilities.

16. Organic composting facility is permitted. 17. Since Sunriver Resort owns and controls the Sunriver Airport, golf courses operated as part of the Sunriver Resort, Crosswater and their affiliates are exempted.

Numbers in parentheses refer to notes. *The designations contained in this table do not constitute a Federal determination that any use of land covered by the program is acceptable or unacceptable under Federal, State, or local law. The responsibility for determining the acceptable and permissible land uses and the relationship between specific properties and specific noise contours rests with the local authorities. FAA determinations under Part 150 are not intended to substitute federally determined land uses for those determined to be appropriate by local authorities in response to locally determined needs and values in achieving noise compatible land uses. Key to Table: SLUCM = Standard Land Use Coding Manual. Y (Yes) = Land Use and related structures compatible without restrictions. N (No) = Land Use and related structures are not compatible and should be prohibited. NLR = Noise Level Reduction (outdoor to indoor) to be achieved through incorporation of noise attenuation into the design and construction of the structure. 25, 30, or 35 = Land use and related structures generally compatible; measures to achieve NLR of 25, 30, or 35 dB must be incorporated into design and construction of structure. Notes for Table 2: 1. Where the community determines that residential or school uses must be allowed, measures to achieve outdoor to indoor Noise Level Reduction (NLR) of at least 25 dB and 30 dB should be incorporated into building codes and be considered in individual approvals. Normal residential construction can be expected to provide a NLR of 20 dB, thus, the reduction requirements are often stated as 5, 10 or 15 dB over standard construction and normally assume mechanical ventilation and

closed windows year round. However, the use of NLR criteria will not eliminate outdoor noise problems. 2. Measures to achieve NLR 25 dB must be incorporated into the design and construction of portions of these buildings where the public is received, office areas, noise sensitive areas or where the normal noise level is low. 3. Measures to achieve NLR of 30 dB must be incorporated into the design and construction of portions of these buildings where the public is received, office areas, noise sensitive areas or where the normal noise level is low. 4. Measures to achieve NLR 35 dB must be incorporated into the design and construction of portions of these buildings where the public is received, office areas, noise sensitive areas or where the normal level is low. 5. Land use compatible provided special sound reinforcement systems are installed. 6. Residential buildings require an NLR of 25. 7. Residential buildings require an NLR of 30. 8. Residential buildings not permitted.

Go for a hike: Sisters main attraction is its stunning natural beauty and there are many things to explore if you want to get out in it.

Eat an ice cream cone: The tourist experience is not complete until you’ve walked the streets of Sisters enjoying a scrumptious ice cream cone. Gotta do it!

Drive the McKenzie Highway: Take Highway 242 out the west end of town (when open) up and over the Cascades to see some of the most spectacular scenery the Sisters Country has to offer, including the views from Dee Wright Observatory.

Ride a bike: You can take that McKenzie Highway trip on two wheels or just tool around town. Visit local bike shops for ideas for rides.

Go shopping: In Sisters you will find unique shops and art galleries that make shopping more than just retail therapy. It’s a cultural experience.

Get a massage: Visit one of several local spas to unwind from the tensions of your everyday life – or to recover from that hike or bike ride.

Take a Spa Day: From the shores of Suttle Lake to the campus at FivePine, you’ll find so many options for relaxation and recovery that will enhance your living to Sisters Country – and send you home feeling truly recharged and ready to get back into the race.

Enjoy a coffee drink: Sisters may be a small town, but it’s big time when it comes to coffee. You’ll have no problem finding your favorite drink – and a beautiful spot to sit down and enjoy it while playing family games, surfing the Web or – gasp!– getting a little work done (we promise we won’t tell)

Visit Camp Sherman: You simply must experience the peace and beauty of the Metolius River and the surrounding community, one of the most treasured places in Oregon.

Catch some live music: Whether it’s a music festival, a winter concert or a show at one of the local venues, you’ll find some great tunes in town all year round.

Dine out: Sisters Country has lots of great choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner – and to suit all tastes and budgets.

Take a class or participate in a camp: Sisters Park & Recreation District has a wide range of offerings for some organized fun.

Watch a movie: You can catch first-run movies at Sisters Movie House or rent a DVD for family movie night in your home.

Catch a fish: Whether you’re a seasoned fisherman or just getting your feet wet, you can find some great fishing in Sisters Country – and plenty of professional guidance to help you get a bite.

Visit one of the local lakes and rent a paddle boat, rowboat or a canoe. There’s nothing more relaxing than being on the water.

Just relax! 3

Did you know? Sisters Oregon

- The town of Sisters derives its name from the three prominent Cascade peaks that grace the southwestern skyline, collectively known as the Three Sisters. - Sisters was incorporated as a town in 1946 - Camp Polk was established as a military post in 1865 in response to the Paiute Indian wars that were raging throughout eastern Oregon during the 1860s and 70s. Named after the Oregon county from which the camp’s commanding officer hailed, it consisted of a group of cabins along the west bank of Squaw Creek, now called Whychus Creek, about 3 miles (5 km) northeast of Sisters. The troops spent the winter of 1865–66 there. After discovering that there was no Indian problem they left. Around 1870, the area was homesteaded by Samuel Hindeman who also ran the post office. The post office at Camp Polk was moved to the present site of Sisters in 1888, and the name was changed to Sisters after the Three Sisters mountains that dominate its western skyline. - Sisters and all of Oregon has no sales tax - Oregon is one of the only two States where you can’t pump your own gas (New Jersey being the other) - Sisters is known worldwide as holding the largest outdoor Quilt Show which is held on the second weekend of July - Sisters is also home to the “Biggest Little Show in the World”, Sisters Rodeo which is held the second weekend in June, since 1941 - The Sisters Folk Festival is an annual three-day roots music festival held the first weekend of September

- Climate: Hottest month is July (avg. temp. 84.3/42.1 degrees Fahrenheit); coldest month is December (40.8/20.1 degrees Fahrenheit). Driest month is July; wettest month is January. Average annual precipitation is 14.18 inches. (Source: Oregon Climate Service/Oregon Economic & Community Development.) Average snowfall is 32 inches. - Roberts Field in Redmond connects Sisters with the rest of the country by air. The airport is a 20-mile drive to the east. It offers service from Portland, Seattle, Salt Lake City and San Francisco. - Sisters Eagle Air airport is an uncontrolled public airport at the northern outskirts of town, suitable for light general aviation aircraft. (Runway improvements were made in 2013 and a fueling station was added.) - Sisters is also known for their wonderful art galleries and outdoor artwork including: - “Running Horses” on the Lazy Z meadow east of town, by Brian Bain. - Bronze Wild Stallion by Lorenzo Ghiglieri on Cascade Avenue. - At Harold & Dorothy Barclay Park on Cascade Avenue is a bronze heron by Danae Miller, a sculpture by chainsaw artist J. Chester Armstrong, and a mural of quilts by Jerry Werner. - Within City Hall (520 E. Cascade Ave.) hangs a quilt by Jean Wells, celebrating a Sisters landscape. - Sisters has an exceptional selection of small grocery stores offering local and organic options. For the summer months, don’t miss the Sisters Farmers Market located in Fir Street Park. They are open every Friday from 2:00 – 5:00.

Sisters Attractions Scenery that'll take your breath away – time that makes memories.

Three Creek Lake

Camp Polk Preserve

Drive south on Elm Street (Road 16) about 20 miles and you'll run into a beautiful mountain lake at the foot of Tam McArthur Rim. Three Creek Lake offers non-motorized boating (rent a boat at the small store), fishing, swimming and picnic opportunities for the whole family (kids love to look for tadpoles). The 28-acre lake has planted rainbow trout and a self-sustaining population of brook trout. From here you can hike rugged Tam McArthur Rim or simply hang out on the beach or in a nearby campground and enjoy the peaceful environment of a 6,550-elevation alpine lake.

The Deschutes Land Trust acquired 145 acres of rare wetland/wet meadow habitat just north of Sisters and manages the site as a preserve. Camp Polk Meadow is the site of the first settlement in the Sisters Country. Camp Polk was established as a military encampment for the suppression of local Indians in 1865.

Dee Wright Observatory Standing atop the windswept McKenzie Pass, Dee Wright Observatory looks like the lonely lair of a robber baron. The observatory was named after a Civilian Conservation Corps foreman who worked on the site. The observatory offers a sweeping vista of the Cascades and overlooks the somber yet intriguing lava flows that dominate the pass. Interpretive signs offer a little education about the unusual geology of the area. The Pacific Crest Trail crosses the McKenzie Summit just west of the observatory. To get there; take Highway 242 west from Sisters (when passable).

Suttle Lake Suttle Lake is one of Sisters' understated natural wonders. It's not dramatic or spectacular, but it is one of the most soul-satisfying spots in the area. Some days the lake is calm and glassy, offering a lazy afternoon on Cinder Beach looking out on Mt. Washington. Other days the wind whips the lake into a whitecapped chop and windsurfers weave through the waves. In the fall it is a riot of color as the leaves turn with the early frost. Visit the Lodge, take a boat out for a lazy day of fishing or take a stroll around the lake. Follow Highway 20 west 16 miles from Sisters; turn left and follow the signs.

Head of the Metolius It's hard to believe that the mighty Metolius River starts from tiny springs in the shadow of Black Butte. Over the next five miles, more springs and tributary creeks build the river into a magnificent rushing torrent. The Head of the Metolius is one of the most serene and beautiful spots in Central Oregon. And it's very easy to get to. Just drive 10 miles west of Sisters to the entrance to Camp Sherman and follow the signs along Road 14. They'll point you to an expansive parking area where you can walk down a paved path about 300 yards to an overlook that treats you to a calendar shot of the headwaters and Mt. Jefferson.

The Land Trust is working in the area to restore riparian habitat along Whychus Creek in hopes of one day restoring steelhead runs in the creek. Guided tours are given throughout the spring and summer. For more information call 541.330.0017 or visit www.deschuteslandtrust.org.

Tumalo Falls Tumalo Falls is one of the more scenic areas in Central Oregon, and it's an easy drive west from downtown Bend. Take Highway 20 east to 3rd Avenue south. Turn right on Franklin Avenue and head west from downtown Bend to Galveston Road which turns into Skyliner Drive and leads to the gravel Tumalo Falls Road. There's an overlook (short walk) and interpretive site and a picnic area. If you want to make a hike of it – and you should – there are many trails in the area. Hike upstream along the creek and you'll run into more waterfalls.

Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery While you are in Camp Sherman, head further north to visit Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery. When you cross the bridge over the Metolius River and enter Wizard Falls, you know this is a special place. The clear, aquamarine color of the river water leads into a pristine grassy area and gentle paths winding through the 35-acre site. Various open tanks house the different fish species raised at the hatchery. Rainbow, brook, cutthroat and trophy trout, kokanee and Atlantic salmon are part of the three million fish on display. The hatchery hosts Kids' Fishing Day on the second Saturday in June. Wizard Falls is open from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. Take Highway 20 west out of Sisters for 10 miles. At the Camp Sherman road sign, Road 14, turn right and travel 10 miles to the hatchery entrance.

Sisters Parks

Village Green Park

Sisters Skate Park

The Village Green Park is located two blocks south of downtown between Elm & Fir Streets. There is a covered gazebo, covered BBQ area with tables, playground equipment and many shade trees.

Skaters have their own skate park in Sisters, thanks to volunteer efforts by local youth and adult mentors. The park includes a large, deep “bowl,” an intermediate bowl, a backyard pool replica and a street scape element (railings, steps, curbs, etc). The intermediate bowl has lower sidewalls and is designed for less-experienced skaters. The skate park is located next to the Sisters Park & Recreation District Coffield Center, at the west end of the Sisters High School parking lot. Head west from downtown Sisters on Highway 242 (McKenzie Highway) and enter the Sisters High School campus.

Sisters Creekside Campground (Formerly Three Sisters Overnight Park) The Sisters Creekside Camp-ground is a municipal park with 60 sites (of which 25 sites are full hook-up sites) and a large grass area. The park is situated along Whychus Creek and within walking distance of downtown. The park is open April 12 through November 1 and is closed for the winter months. For information call Nicole Montalvo at the City Public Works Department, Monday through Friday, at 541.323.5220.

Creekside Park Creekside Park is located adjacent to Whychus Creek across the covered foot bridge from Sisters Creekside Campground. The grassy park has tables and small barbeque's for daytime use.

Harold & Dorothy Barclay Park Located on Cascade Avenue (Highway 20) in the center of downtown Sisters. Includes a public restroom.

Cliff Clemens Park On the north side of Sisters, approximately three blocks from downtown on Larch Street. Motor homes may park in this area during the daytime only. Large grassy area and play equipment.

Hyzer Pines Also next to the Sisters Park & Recreation District Coffield Center is the Hyzer Pines 18-hole disc golf course. There is no charge for playing. No alcohol or smoking are allowed on the property.

Fir Street Park Sisters' newest park is located at the corner of Fir Street and Main Avenue. This “pocket park” feature a splash play area with boulders, a performance stage with timber-frame pavilion and seating area, a picnic facility, restrooms, bike corrals, benches, a fire pit with seating, a drinking fountain and on-site parking.

Sit and relax or let the young ones play at a wide variety of Sisters parks.

Creekside Park, Village Green Park and Cliff Clemens Park are available for events for a fee. Electricity is available. Call 541.549.6022 for more information.

Going Wild in Sisters

Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrel and Yellow-Pine Chipmunks Golden-mantled ground squirrels and yellow-pine chipmunks live all through the forest and can be seen wherever you hike. The streaks on a chipmunk's body go all the way to the nose, while on the goldenmantled they stop at the shoulders.

Butterflies Every year, the North American Butterfly Association conducts a butterfly count on Friday of the Fourth of July weekend. If you would like to participate, or would like to know the butterfly "hot-spots," call Sue Anderson at Natural Selection, 541.388.1549, or email a note to jim@northwestnaturalist.net.

Coyotes You can see coyotes just about anywhere you go in the Sisters area.

Badgers Like coyotes, badgers have also been persecuted because of their habit of digging holes as they pursue ground squirrels and gophers. They have also moved into clear-cuts in the forest.

Bobcats Hikers traveling along trails that run on the edge of the forest may get very lucky and see a bobcat.

Wild Turkeys The so-called "wild" turkeys you will see about anywhere around Sisters are not really wild. They're transplanted from the Willamette Valley where they were pests in feed lots and other agricultural areas.

Mule Deer If you enjoy a morning walk around town, don't be surprised if you come face-to-face with at least 10 or so mule deer within the city limits.

Snakes Yes, we do have rattlesnakes in the Sisters area. Thankfully, the Pacific Rattlesnake is a more-or-less laid-back member of the pit viper family and if you give them your respect, they will most often do likewise. We also have non-lethal gopher snakes slithering under sagebrush and rim rock.

Elk Sisters Country is home to a substantial herd of Rocky Mountain Elk. They circulate though meadows and forests around Black Butte and points east. The herd consists of cows, calves and yearlings, and watching them move through the forest is a majestic sight. A mature cow elk weighs approximately 500 pounds and stands some four to five feet tall at the shoulder. Bull elk are much more elusive, tending to travel alone or in small bachelor groups.

Water Ouzel The ever-busy water ouzel – a songbird known as the dipper – can also be seen dropping into the cold streams and "flying" underwater in search of aquatic insects.

Historic Buildings in Sisters Hardy Allen House Southeast corner of Main Avenue and Larch Street. Early settler and stockman Hardy Allen and his wife Daisy moved to Sisters in 1905 and built this fine house in 1908 on the corner of Main Avenue and Fir Street. The house was scheduled for demolition in the 1980s but was saved by moving it to its current location. It was renovated in 1990 to match its historical appearance.

Hotel Sisters (Sisters Saloon) Northwest corner of Cascade Avenue and Fir Street. The Hotel Sisters was built in 1912 by businessman and Spanish-American War veteran John Dennis. The nicely modern facility boasted hot and cold water in each of its 19 guest rooms and featured heat from a hot air furnace in the basement. It is one of the most photographed buildings in Central Oregon.

Leithauser General Store (Sisters Bakery) The Leithauser General Store was built on Cascade Avenue between Larch and Spruce streets in 1925. The Leithauser family owned and operated the general store at that location until 1950, when a new store was built just to the west. The building has housed a barber shop, a variety store, a yarn mill and a bakery.

Old Sisters Library West side of Spruce Street between Cascade and Main Avenues (behind the Sisters Area Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center). The building was originally sited on Cascade Avenue, where local businesses and citizens purchased land for a library. Local mills donated lumber for the construction of the library building. The library opened in 1939, with shelf space for 1,000 books. The building was moved to its current location in 1980 and it was retired in 1990.

The Palace Southeast corner of Cascade Avenue and Elm Street. The original structure on the site was Sisters Drug Store, owned by the Aitken Family. The building was destroyed in the devastating fire of 1923. The Aitken family moved an existing structure to the corner and again set up shop.

And comedians Mack and Jamie, Wayne Cotter, Michael Davis, Don McMillan, Kevin Meaney. The Sisters Starry Nights Concert Series is currently on hiatus but there are several other opportunities to support the school district.

The Hidden Economy of Sisters

Mostly hidden from the view of visitors, Sisters has a thriving hidden economy of manufacturers who are creating unique, high-quality products for users around the world. From bird-repelling devises to custom-quality guitars, Sisters' creative side extends into industry.

ENERGYneering Solutions Inc. (ESI) of Sisters manages some millions of dollars in renewable energy power plants in places as far-flung as Texas, Florida and California — all out of an office at the Sisters Airport. The firm, led by Benny and Julie Benson of Sisters, provides engineering and design for landfill gas (LFG) collection, biogas pretreatment systems, biogas-toenergy facilities, and biomass thermal facilities.

Bird Gard utilizes the innate power of the natural survival instincts of birds to effectively repel them. Digital recordings of distressed and alarmed birds, along with the sounds made by their natural predators are broadcast through high fidelity weather-resistant speakers. This triggers a primal fear and flee response Pest birds soon relocate to where they can feed without feeling threatened. www.birdgard.com

Close to home, ESI installed a biomass boiler at Sisters High School, a cost-saving innovation that has received statewide accolades. www.energyneeringsolutions.com

Products manufactured in their plant in the Sisters Industrial Park are based on the latest wellness research, with ingredients that are sourced from the finest suppliers and tested for purity and potency. www.metabolicmaintenance.com From their workshop in the music-loving town of Sisters, Oregon, Preston Thompson Guitars builds custom guitars and standard models based on vintage designs perfected by C.F. Martin Guitar in the 1930s. The choice of Grammy-winning flatpick and fingerstyle guitarists alike, Preston Thompson Guitars are among the best acoustic guitars available anywhere, renowned for superior tone, craftsmanship and materials. www.pktguitars.com

Ponderosa Forge & Ironworks From a start shoeing horses, Jeff Wester has built a blacksmithing shop that provides structural steel and artful accessories for the finest homes and commercial properties in Central Oregon. Through its website at www.ponderosaforge.com, Ponderosa Forge sells beautiful hand-forged iron work — fireplace screens and doors, door hinges, door handles, furniture and interior décor, wine racks and much more — all across the nation. Lakeview Millworks is a purveyor of fine doors and windows for a market that extends from the Pacific Northwest south into California and east as far as Minnesota. Lakeview Millworks, located in Town Square in the middle of downtown Sisters, has an extensive showroom featuring major window and door product lines. Lakeview Millworks is a distributor for the prestigious Kolbe Windows & Doors line — one of only three in the state of Oregon. The facility is a destination showroom for the entire region. www.lakeviewmillworks.com Catch Magazine is as an electronic gallery and forum dedicated to the art and passion of fly fishing. Sisters resident Todd Moen and his partner Brian O’Keefe designed and created the online periodical that features breathtaking digital photography, travel essays, and slide shows from exotic “fishing holes” around the globe, all in a Web format.

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

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.

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

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

“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.

2017 SISTERS PROFILE

Photo courtesy of Five Pine Lodge

The town of Sisters takes its name from the iconic Three Sisters Mountains that dominate its western skyline, shown in the photo above. Each of the three volcanic peaksͶNorth Sister, Middle Sister, and South Sister (Faith, Hope, and Charity are their respective Native American names)Ͷexceed 10,000 feet. ^ŝƐƚĞƌƐ͛ ŚŝƐƚŽƌǇ closely follows that of the Pacific Northwest. Three miles northeast of Sisters͛ current location, Camp Polk was established in 1865 as a military post to respond to the potential threat of Paiute Indians in the area. Homesteaders quickly replaced the military after discovering there was no conflict and soon established ranches, a store, and a post office. In 1888 the post office and about twenty families relocated southwest to what is now the City of Sisters. The next one hundred years were dominated by sheep grazing, cattle ranching, and logging. In May 1923 ten downtown businesses and several residences were lost due to a garage fire. The following year Sisters was aflame again due to the Gist Hotel fire. ͞,ĂůĨ ŽĨ WŝŽŶĞĞƌ dŽǁŶ ŝƐ >ĞǀĞůĞĚ ďǇ &ůĂŵĞƐ͕͟ was written in The Bend Bulletin. By the 1970s not only was logging in serious decline but so was the City of Sisters. The leading Sisters resort, Black Butte Ranch, persuaded the city to revitalize the town by focusing on tourism. Utilizing aŶ ϭϴϴϬ͛Ɛ Western building theme inspired by ƚŚĞ ƚŽǁŶ͛Ɛ heritage, Sisters was transformed and became an attraction for tourists worldwide. Today Sisters ĂŶĚ ŝƚƐ ůĂƌŐĞƌ ƐƵƌƌŽƵŶĚŝŶŐ ĂƌĞĂ ;ŬŶŽǁŶ ĂƐ ͞^ŝƐƚĞƌƐ ŽƵŶƚƌǇ͟Ϳ is recognized for an outstanding school system, abundant outdoor recreational opportunities, a rich arts and cultural scene, and a rural, community-focused top-quality lifestyle. Though the downtown is characterized by small and authentic lifestyle retail stores and restaurants, Sisters has all of the commercial attributes to attract business owners and entrepreneurs who value and appreciate ƚŚĞ ĐŝƚǇ͛Ɛ small-town charm.

As of September 30, 2017, the City has authorized the construction of 73 single family units, 20 townhouse units, and 3 triplex units for a total of 102 residential units. New commercial construction projects completed are Dairy Queen, Five Pine cabins and laundry building, Creekside Campground restroom, Sisters Mini Storage and multiple projects for the Sisters School District. Laird Superfood project is underway and other new commercial and mixed-use projects have received land use approval and are anticipated to be underway shortly including two new mixed-use light industrial/live work projects in the North Sisters Business Park. Additionally, the City has a number of projects currently under review including a hotel and formula food establishment and a new transportation center at Sisters High School. City staff continues to receive numerous inquiries supporting feasibility studies on additional residential and commercial projects. The last four Affordable Housing units out of seven are under construction at Skygate by Housing Works and a site plan application was recently approved for Housing Works to enable construction of 48 multifamily Affordable units. Construction of these 48 multifamily units is anticipated in Spring 2017. Hayden Homes has broken ground on Phase 5 of the Village at Cold Springs which will enable the constriction of 17 single family units and 24 multifamily market rate units. Infrastructure review for the Grand Peaks subdivision (formally Kuivato) and Clear Pine Phase III is currently underway, laying the groundwork for an additional 50 single family units. The building permit for The Lodge - Assisted Living Facility has been issued and construction is anticipated to commence in the near future. Although residential construction has been very active in 2017, familiar challenges with labor supply, land and construction costs continue to keep new construction from meeting the high demand. As long as the national economic outlook remains stable, we anticipate continued high levels of construction activity in 2018 in response to very high levels of deŵĂŶĚ͘͟ City of Sisters, Community Development Department

AVERAGE WAGES FOR SELECT OCCUPATIONS Below are average hourly wages in Oregon, Washington, and California. Central Oregon wages are typically below those of Oregon, often 10 to 20%.

COVERED EMPLOYMENT & PAYROLL Below is covered employment data by sector, employee count, payroll, and average annual wage in the tri-county region. Average annual pay is the total of all covered wages paid during the year divided by the monthly average number of covered jobs during the year. Covered employment refers to jobs that are eligible for unemployment insurance, so it is a good barometer of wage and sector trends. Note that while most employees are covered, notable exceptions include the self-employed, those who work solely on commission, and some agricultural workers. Relative to last year (2015 data), all measurementsͶthe number individuals employed, the associated payroll, and average annual payͶincreased across the board, demonstrating a broad return to a healthier economy. In terms of sheer numbers employed, the big gains in industry sectors in Deschutes County were construction, manufacturing, professional and businesses services, and education & health services. Similarly, payroll in Deschutes County expanded by 9% and average annual pay registered an improvement of 3%. The average annual wage for Central Oregon is $41,748, while the average annual wage for all of Oregon is $49,452.

INDUSTRY MIX Central Oregon has an ever-more diverse mix of industries that create the employment foundation for the regional economy. For example, in 2007, construction accounted for more than 11% of total payroll, while today it is much closer to national averages. A large slice of the overall pie, government, has seen its share of payroll disperse to other sectors such as education and health services (the fastest growing sector). Information, which includes software, IT services, and data centers, has grown by 30% over the past decade. Tourism (leisure and hospitality) has also seen gains in the past 10 years.

COSTS OF DOING BUSINESS IN OREGON Oregon has achieved national status for being a cost competitive location for business. The table below compares the cost of doing business in Oregon, Washington, and California. Major contributing factors to the Oregon advantage are no sales tax, no inventory tax, an affordable property tax system, and affordable labor costs. Across the country on average, taxpayers pay the most in taxes to their own state and local governments.

Sources: Tax Foundation, Oregon Employment Department, Washington State Employment Security Department, and California Employment Development Department, US Energy Information Association, Employer Health Benefits Survey, Premium rate ranking index, 1 Oregon Insurance Division, Washington does not have a corporate income tax but does have a gross receipts tax (Business & Occupancy Tax). While not strictly comparable to corporate income tax rates, it is imposed on revenues, not profits, resulting in noteworthy effective tax rates, particularly for small businesses and startups.

Perhaps one of the greatest assets in Oregon is the structure of how corporations are taxed, known as the Single Sales Factor. The tax rate on corporate income of firms doing business in the state is the greater of a minimum tax based on relative Oregon sales ($150-$100,000, approximately 0.1% of sales by entity) or an income-based levy of 6.6% on taxable income up to $1 million and 7.6% above that. Relative Oregon sales are responsible 100% in determining U.S. corporate income taxable in Oregon. This single interstate factor stands in contrast to states that also use factors for property and payroll to apportion taxable income. It is advantageous to a business headquartered or producing tangible goods in Oregon, but selling products throughout the country, or the world, where it also operates, because its business Oregon tax liability is proportional only to its Oregon customer base, and that liability does not grow directly as a result of greater investment or employment in Oregon. How the single sales factor works: In its Oregon tax return, the business takes the ratio of Oregon sales to total U.S. sales and applies that ratio to its consolidated federal income. The result is Oregon taxable income. Oregon sales are based on where the greater cost of performance occurs for intangible sales. In the case of tangible goods, Oregon sales include the throwback of sales to customers where the entity would not otherwise be taxable. (Source: Business Oregon) Page 6 Last updated 11/13/2017

The tables below compare costs for a manufacturing company with 20 employees to one with 200 employees. This example does not factor or include cost savings offered by incentive programs. Oregon offers more incentive programs to traded-sector businesses (companies that sell products or services outside of the area) than Washington and California combined. Attempting to understand all cost factors in different states and how those impact your specific business can be a daunting task. Some cost factors such as the efficiency and approach to regulatory oversight (i.e. implementation of federal EPA rules) can be dramatically different from state to state, but virtually impossible to place a dollar value on for comparison purposes. 20-Employee Firm, Urban Location

HOUSING / REAL ESTATE TRENDS Average Monthly Rent The Central Oregon rental market continues to face heightened demand in the midst of constrained supply. According to the Central Oregon Rental Owners Association (COROA), the overall vacancy rate is 1.50% (as of May 2016), down from 12.4% in 2009. The high demand has exerted pressure on prices and a growing interest in multi-family residential construction, particularly in Bend and Redmond. In the last year, two and three-bedroom rental houses increased more on a percentage basis than apartments and duplexes. 2016 average rent prices for a three-bedroom home were up slightly from 2015 in nearly all Central Oregon communities. Our expectation is that 2017 annual rental figures will be up sharply in Bend, Redmond, Sisters, and Prineville amidst strong in-migration and near record low vacancies.

Land Prices, Lease Rates & Construction Costs Land costs in the region are rebounding after seeing as much as 50% value reductions resulting from the Great Recession. Costs do vary by community, with Crook and Jefferson Counties generally having lower land and lease costs. In Deschutes County, La Pine costs are lowest and comparable with Crook and Jefferson Counties. Several years of strong demand for retail, office, and light industrial space are pushing vacancies down and rents higher in 2017.

Tax Rates Tax rates in Sisters range from 15.8% in the city limits to as low as 11.4% just outside of town. These rates are lower than Bend and Redmond. The specific tax codes that apply to property in the Sisters area vary according to an array of factors including the type of property, amount of acreage, and proximity to Sisters city limits.
