Following the Wednesday, Oct. 9 resignation of all five members of the La Pine Parks & Recreation District Board, the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners will fill the vacancies as required by state law.

During their meeting on Monday, Oct. 14, commissioners will determine next steps and a timeline for appointing a new district board.

The Board meeting will be held at the Deschutes Services Building, 1300 NW Wall St. in Bend. The public is invited to attend in person or participate virtually. The meeting agenda and virtual log in information can be found at www.deschutes.org/meetings.
