Other Items Staff was asked to continue to develop a long-range capital plan aligned with the University’s strategic plan and to seek Committee and Board approval of that capital plan. The Committee requested staff to develop debt strategies and policies for the Committee’s review and approval. The Committee recommended that staff develop some initial financial targets, such as fund balance as a percent of revenue, which the Committee and Board could use to communicate policy and direction. The Committee noted that the evolution of its and Board’s budget review and approval process should include additional detail and trend and forecast information in order to create over time more context for trustees’ review, discussion and decision-making. 6.

  • Governor Kate Brown
    Governor Kate Brown PRESERVING THE ELLIOTT FOREST FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS . Oregon’s public lands — our forests, parks, and beaches — are irreplaceable assets. Keeping the Elliott State Forest in public ownership is critical to fulfilling our fiduciary obligations to the Common School Fund while preserving the habitats of diverse species and public access to the lands for future generations. Elliott State Forest Bonding Proposal The Elliott State Forest has contributed nearly $617 million to the Common School Fund to advance investments in schools and education, while also developing, maintaining, and protecting Oregon’s natural resources. Since 2013, because of harvest limitation prompted by a lawsuit over Federally protected species, owning the Elliott has cost the Commons School Fund more than $4 million. We must change the way we own and manage the forest to honor the Common School Fund (CSF) and protect the Elliott’s diverse habitats. This can be achieved while supporting jobs with the sustainable harvest of timber. • The Elliott is Oregon’s first State Forest and has been a State Forest Since 1930. Under m plan, the Elliott State Forest would remain in public ownership, with either the state or tribes owning the land. • A bond proposal will be developed to include up to $100 million in state bonding capacity to protect high value habitat, including riparian areas, steep slopes, and old growth stands. • On the remainder of the forest, we have renewed negotiations with the Federal Services for a Habitat Conservation Plan to allow for sustainable timber harvest, while protecting native, as well as endangered and threatened species that are home to the Elliott Forest.

  • Oregon State Treasury, Was Launched in January 2001 to Administer the Oregon College Savings Plan
    Contact: Kasey Krifka [email protected] 503-431-7976 For Immediate Release: December 2, 2020 Celebrating Four Years and $27 Million Saved by more than 4,000 People Experiencing Disabilities Thousands of vulnerable Oregonians benefit from increased financial security with access to ABLE savings plans SALEM, Ore. – Four years after the launch of the Oregon ABLE and national ABLE for ALL Savings Plans, the programs are celebrating a key milestone—more than $27 million saved by those experiencing a disability. Because of ABLE, thousands of Oregonians and savers from across the U.S. are now on the path to financial security. Although still in its relative infancy, the program has reached an average account size of more than $7,700 and, so far, over $12 million has been contributed to ABLE accounts in 2020. “ABLE accounts are a powerful tool that people experiencing disabilities can use to save for their current and future needs, without putting other benefits in jeopardy,” said Oregon State Treasurer Tobias Read. “It is gratifying to know that ABLE is helping so many Oregonians improve their day to day lives and reach their long-term goals. I will continue to push for ways to expand this critical program so we can serve more people.” The anniversary of Oregon’s ABLE programs coincides with the six-year anniversary of the federal Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act, signed into law in 2014, that allowed states to create savings plans for people with disabilities. Before Congress and the Oregon State Legislature paved the way for the creation of ABLE plans, people living with disabilities were functionally forced to live in poverty if they wanted to remain eligible for vital means-tested benefits, like Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income, which required the individual to have less than $2,000 in their name.

  • AGENDA ITEM BRIEFING Gilliam County Court
    Agenda Item 7.13 AGENDA ITEM BRIEFING Gilliam County Court TODAY’S DATE: 9/30/2020 MEETING DATE: 10/07/2020 FROM: Nathan L. Hammer, Gilliam County Treasurer and Director of Finance TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM: Consider Approval of Oregon State Treasury: Oregon Local Government Intermediate Fund Investment ___________________________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY: Oregon Local Government Intermediate Fund (OLGIF) is an actively managed, diversified portfolio of investment grade bond investments. These investments are managed by the Oregon State Treasurer and their team of financial/investment professionals. The Oregon State Treasurer anticipates that returns over longer periods of time will be greater in the OLGIF than in the shorter maturity Oregon Local Government Investment Pool (“OLGIP”). Participants invest in OLGIF by purchasing shares like OLGIP, but redemption restrictions are different. KEY FACTS & FINDINGS: Using the Oregon State Treasurer’s Office as an investment resource has the benefit of low fees and a proven track record (including during the last financial crisis), which compares favorably to other investment options available to county governments. Investments in OLGIF and OLGIP are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, any Federal Agency, or by the State of Oregon. Approval of OLGIF as an investment fund manager is the first step in participation. The second step is to get our Gilliam County Investment Policy updated, reviewed, adopted and filed with the Oregon State Treasurer. The current timeline on this project is to have the Gilliam County Investment Policy submitted to the Oregon State Treasurer by the middle of October, for review at their January 20, 2021 meeting.

  • NLGA Press Advisory New Research on Gubernatorial Succession
    National Lieutenant Governors Association PRESS ADVISORY February 17, 2015 For Immediate Use Contact: NLGA Director Julia Hurst at [email protected] HOW OFTEN DO SECONDS‐IN‐COMMAND SUCCEED TO GOVERNOR? New research on gubernatorial succession is at www.nlga.us A new research piece is available which answers the question: How often do seconds‐in‐command succeed to governor? The National Lieutenant Governors Association (NLGA) today released “Gubernatorial Succession Data: 1980 – current.” Tomorrow, on February 18, 2015, the third second‐in‐command this decade is slated to succeed to governor. Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown will succeed to governor upon the effective date of the governor’s resignation. Oregon State Treasurer Ted Wheeler will become the new second‐in‐ command. “The previous two gubernatorial successions between January 1, 2010, and today were in North Dakota and West Virginia,” said NLGA Director & CEO Julia Hurst. “Between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2009, twenty‐two (22) gubernatorial successions occurred,” said NLGA Associate Director Michael Conway. That tally includes the “Five‐Governors‐in‐ a‐Day” experience in New Jersey as one succession. “The successions across this decade occurred in every region in the country,” he said. Between January 1, 1990, and December 31, 1999, nine (9) gubernatorial successions occurred. “When Secretary Brown succeeds, she will become the ninth (9th) current governor who first served as Lieutenant Governor or first in line of gubernatorial succession,” said Hurst. “These include the governors of Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, and West Virginia,” she said. The research is posted in its entirety at www.nlga.us.
