There were six people in attendance. Mary McArthur, Mt Hood Economic Alliance Staff, informed the Court of the purpose for today's Public Hearing. She stated that the Mt Hood Economic Alliance looked at how we are supportive of regional capacity, and how we can get our communities prepared for economic development. Ms. McArthur stated it is not a funded plan; it is a road map of where we can go if we get funding. Ken Bailey, Mt Hood Economic Alliance, stated that the Oregon Economic and Community Development Department asked for a couple of changes, which would address what the Oregon Legislature wanted them to address. The Legislature is looking for better coordination. Having regional boards are important to the state. Some discussion occurred regarding the plan and the update process. Judge Ericksen acknowledged that Amanda Remington did a great job in developing additional projects outside of the County's Needs and Issues Inventory. Ken Bailey stated that he feels the match with Hood River and Clackamas Counties has gone well. At 11:22 a.m. Judge Ericksen asked if there was anyone wishing to testify.
