The Deschutes County Board of Commissioners will meet this fall with governing boards from across the County to collaborate on a variety of topics impacting communities in Central Oregon.

Over the next three months, the Board will hold joint meetings with the city councils of Bend, Redmond, Sisters and La Pine, as well as with the County Planning Commission, the Deschutes County Fair Board and the Deschutes County Circuit Court.
