REGIONAL SOLUTIONS Metro Region (Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington Counties) Charter – FINAL 2021
Background The Regional Solutions Program was adopted in statute in 2014 with the passage of HB 4015. Regional Solutions works with state agencies, local governments, public and private sectors, and philanthropic organizations to: identify regional priorities for community and economic development, develop and coordinate projects, solve problems and seize opportunities, and respond to needs as they emerge. Regional Solutions also serves as the Governor’s “boots on the ground” in the event of an emergency.
During 2020, Oregonians were affected both by the global COVID-19 pandemic and unprecedented Labor Day wildfires. In response, Governor Brown deployed the Regional Solutions program to focus on COVID and wildfire response and recovery. Economic and community resilience and recovery, centered in equity, is central to the mission of the Regional Solutions program, whether it is in response to an economic downturn, epidemic, or natural disaster.
Regional Solutions Advisory Committees (RSACs) Regional Solutions Advisory Committees are critical to advancing the region’s community and economic development goals, promoting economic resilience, and advancing the state’s Equity in Recovery Framework. The goals of this framework are to center equity as we work together to respond to and recover from the once in a century public health crisis and the 2020 wildfires. RSACs will center equity and economic opportunity in regional recovery and resilience priorities, project identification and implementation. The Advisory Committees will prioritize the extreme disparities and disproportionate impacts on black, indigenous and people of color (BIPOC), and other economically disadvantaged communities, including rural communities.
Regional Solutions Teams include regional state agency representatives from the Governor’s Office, the Business Development Department, Department of Transportation, Department of Environmental Quality, Department of Land Conservation and Development, and Oregon Housing and Community Services. Other state agencies, Oregon Solutions, and Oregon Consensus (the state’s collaborative problem solving and dispute resolution organizations) participate as necessary. State agency team members are co-located in Regional Solutions Centers.
Geographic Coverage The Metro Region includes Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington Counties.
Regional Solutions Office Governor Kate Brown
Advisory Committee Membership The Executive Committee of the Metro Regional Solutions Advisory Committee consists of seven members appointed by, and serving at the pleasure of the Governor.

The Executive Committee shall appoint additional Advisory Committee members in consultation with the Regional Solutions Coordinator. In selecting additional members, the goal is to ensure 25 percent representation from black, indigenous and people of color communities (BIPOC) and to maintain balanced membership from the public, private, tribal, philanthropic, workforce, and higher education sectors. The Executive Committee shall ensure that a county commissioner from each county is included as a Committee member. Additional members shall be appointed by a consensus of at least four out of the seven Executive Committee members. Committee appointees are authorized to participate fully in committee decision making and shall serve for staggered terms established by the Executive Committee at the time of their appointment.
The full committee shall strive to make decisions by consensus (i.e. no one objects); where consensus cannot be reached, decisions will be made by a majority vote of the full committee.
Advisory Committee Roles and Responsibilities Identify priorities and projects to further community and economic recovery and resilience that address the needs of those most impacted by COVID/wildfires.

Congressman Earl Blumenauer 911 NE 11th Avenue; Suite 200 Portland, OR 97232
RE: Request for Fiscal Year 2022 Community Project Funding for a Retractable Cover for Mt. Hood Community College’s Outdoor Olympic-Size Pool
Dear Congressman Blumenauer:
On behalf of Governor Kate Brown’s Metro Regional Solutions Advisory Committee, I express my enthusiastic support for the Mount Hood Community College Aquatics Center and their request for funding to build a retractable cover for their Olympic-size pool. The Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) Aquatics Center has been an important amenity for outer East Multnomah County since its inception in the early 1970’s. Not only is it a wonderful facility for families, but it is recognized as a premiere competition venue hosting local, national and international events.
Regional Solutions is Governor Brown’s community and economic development program and we work with local and regional partners to advance their priority projects. Mt. Hood Community College’s Aquatics Center has been a major contributor to our local economy as it attracts swimmers and their families from across the country, who come here for a world class experience. At the same time, these visitors bring with them much needed tourist dollars filling hotels and restaurants. Many take the time to visit other nearby attractions such as the Columbia River Gorge Natural Scenic Area and Mount Hood National Forest. Businesses see a direct impact when an event is held at this location, especially being one of a few venues in East County that brings in a significant number of visitors. We see strengthening a proven destination as a way to support the needs of small businesses in the region, as visitors represent an important source of revenue.
Regional Solutions Office
Governor Kate Brown
For these reasons, we urge you to support MHCC’s efforts to make this outdoor Olympic-size pool a year-round destination by building a retractable cover for it. Thank you for your consideration and for all that you do to serve Oregonians.
Sincerely,
Catherine Ciarlo Metro Regional Solutions Advisory Committee Convener
March 17, 2021
Dear Agency Directors,
As you know, the Regional Solutions program was adopted in statute in 2014 with the passage of HB 2014. This statute defines Regional Solutions as a key program to work across state agencies and with local governments, the public and private sectors, and philanthropic organizations to: identify regional priorities for community and economic development, develop and coordinate projects, solve problems and seize opportunities, and respond to needs as they emerge. Regional Solutions also serves as my “boots on the ground” in the event of an emergency.
During 2020, Oregonians were affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic, unprecedented wildfires, and a clarion call for racial justice. In response, I deployed the Regional Solutions program to focus on COVID and wildfire response and recovery. Economic and community resilience and recovery, centered in equity, is central to the mission of the Regional Solutions program, whether it is in response to an economic downturn, epidemic, or natural disaster.
Throughout the years, I have found the Regional Solutions program to be key to the success of our state enterprise, and my reliance on the program over the past year has only reminded me of the need for a strong Regional Solutions program. A strong program is only possible with a positive and effective partnership between the program and your agencies.
As we begin to tackle the recovery from the past year, we need to remember that our communities, businesses, and individual families are still struggling, and this struggle is disproportionately felt by Black, Indigenous, Tribal, Latino, Latina, and Latinx, Pacific Islander, and people of color families and BIPOC-owned businesses across our state. We must make sure that we get this recovery right. I am calling on each of you to make sure there is a strong commitment from your agencies to our Regional Solutions program. This commitment includes dedicated and accessible staff and innovation in economic recovery that may not look like business as usual. We can only be successful in our recovery if we work together with an eye toward the recovery of our communities, families, and businesses.
In the coming weeks, I will be rolling out my ten-point plan for economic recovery that will build on our state enterprise, and the new federal funding that is coming through the American Rescue Plan. This economic recovery plan will form the state’s response toward recovery and I look forward to the Regional Solutions program working closely with your agencies on implementation. Additionally, the Regional Solutions program will be working on economic recovery from a regional perspective.
Together, I know we can all work towards a stronger Oregon and I’m counting on your leadership as we enter the next phase of recovery.
Sincerely,
Governor Kate Brown

10-Point Economic Recovery Plan
Overview Oregon’s outlook for rapid economic recovery is strong; we have an opportunity to lead with equity in our recovery efforts and not only support those who have kept our economy going, but to also lift up all Oregonians in both rural and urban parts of the state. While communities of color have been most impacted by the pandemic and wildfires in many ways, this action oriented 10-point plan will strategically support these communities across the state.
10-Point Plan As the state recovers from the pandemic and historic wildfires, investments should align with the following 10 actions. Some action items are already under way, and some will be targeted with the state’s share of federal funds from the American Rescue Plan. These are noted as follows:
• B = In Governor’s Recommended Budget • L = In current state bill under legislative consideration • F = Will be targeted for investment with new federal funds from American Rescue Plan
Action #1: Investing in Oregon’s hardest hit workers (those currently unemployed or underemployed) • Extend/expand unemployment benefits, direct cash transfers (LF) • Expand Individual Development Accounts/wealth building strategies/financial literacy opportunities (BLF) • Provide funding for nonprofits at the front lines of the crisis (F)
Action #2: Reinvesting in innovative housing • Turn commercial property into residential opportunity (F) • Develop focused strategy for affordable housing for skilled + trade workers (BF) • Stabilize renters and homeowners (BLF)
Action #3: Supporting resilient rural communities • Support local governments in planning and growth through economic development strategies (F) • Implement targeted forest health strategies (BLF) • Invest in community colleges (F) • Support our agriculture economy (LF)
Action #4: Supporting Oregon’s workforce (those currently employed but struggling) • Target investments in workforce supports to BIPOC communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 (career pathways, childcare, housing supports) (BF) • Expand free Employment-Related Daycare for 12 months (BF) • Support the caring economy (BF)
Action #5: Creating opportunities for Oregonians (workforce development) • Provide upskill/reskill opportunities to move individuals out of poverty (F) • Help women get back into the workforce (F) • Lean in on strategies to address the talent pipeline (see STEM Education Plan) • Amplify new voices to support workforce development (BLF)
Action #6: Getting small business back on its feet • Provide additional business relief; strategies related to Main Streets and downtown revitalization (BLF) • Provide ongoing technical assistance (BF) • Provide outreach/development for businesses on the cusp of closing (F)
Action #7: Investing in Oregon’s infrastructure • Broadband investments, urban + rural (BLF) • Traditional economic development investments for underserved communities: water, roads, wastewater, stormwater, ports (BLF) • Local government services as infrastructure (resiliency/preparedness) (F)
Action #8: Oregonians investing in Oregon • Implement BIPOC business strategy (non-profits/giving campaigns) (F) • Implement hardest hit businesses strategy (F) • Support opportunities for Oregonians to directly invest in Oregon-based companies through venture capital funding models (support for angel investors) (BLF)
Action #9: Safely Reopening Oregon’s economy • Promote and enable safe in-state travel (F) • Highlight Oregon on an international platform with sporting events over the next two years (BLF) • Support business clusters moving from shutdown to reopening (BLF)
Action #10: Innovation in Manufacturing • Enhance R+D and innovation across universities and industry (BF) • Support inclusive innovation and entrepreneurial development by targeting talent from rural and historically underrepresented communities (BF) • Incentivize manufacturing and traded-sector expansions (BF)
Investment Criteria for American Rescue Plan Funds
The American Rescue Plan (ARP) offers Oregon the ability to turn around its economy from the impacts of the pandemic. With this historic relief package, we have the opportunity to revitalize and rebuild our economies — and our communities — with equity and fairness at the center. With these goals in mind, Governor Brown has laid out the following principles that will be used when making decisions regarding ARP investments.
Principles
We have an opportunity to make a big impact, and we should do that. The investment plan should be focused on big problems that we can make a dent in to help Oregon recover from the pandemic.
We should address the disparities that were exacerbated by the pandemic. Helping women, BIPOC communities, and those who were disproportionately harmed by the pandemic and the natural disasters of 2020 should drive decision-making.
We should make Oregon more resilient. The pandemic and historic wildfires showed weaknesses in our infrastructure and society that we should work to shore up.
We should maximize the economic impact these dollars have on recovery this year. If we act smart, we can narrowly target our investments, leveraging other dollars or leaning on strategies that we know will maximize our investment.
We should invest in programs where the pandemic has shown us there is a better way. We saw the deficiencies and challenges of our childcare system, our housing support network, and other parts of the safety net during the pandemic, and we should invest in innovation that can improve these critical services.
These are one-time funds. To the extent possible, investments made should not increase ongoing or roll-up costs for the state. Use some federal money to balance the budget, but don’t spend down reserves on top of one-time money.
Public accountability and participation will be key. These funds are game-changing in size and scope, and the public needs to see — and inform — how these dollars will work for them.

The vision for the OMSI District was created with significant public Emerging Small Business contractors. input and engagement, and we are committed to continuing to authentically engage our partners and the communities we serve in its further development.
The development and construction of New Water Avenue is the critical first infrastructure component of the project and would align a critical transportation artery with the railroad tracks along the eastern border of the OMSI District. It will include a 2-lane cycle track to connect the Springwater Corridor with the Eastbank Esplanade. This alignment will enable truck traffic to pass more smoothly and safely through the District and create a safer, more walkable and bikeable neighborhood. The alignment also opens up new vertical development opportunities to maximize development density and leverages existing transportation infrastructure investments including Tilikum Crossing, Aerial Tram, Portland Streetcar, MAX Light Rail, Bus Rapid Transit, Eastbank Esplanade, and Green Loop. The improved connections to transit in the OMSI district help further unlock OMSI to families in East Multnomah County. 91 PBDG N/A N/A Fulcrum: Small Construction Project PBDG proposes a statewide service center outside of the Portland Metro area in an underserved area to connect [email protected] PBDG has an existing service center in SE Statewide $7.5 million $5,500,000 Investing in Oregon’s hardest The service center & incubator focus on the Incubator & Business MWBE, ESB and under-resourced construction firms to resources and work opportunities with an integrated service Portland that we are quickly outgrowing.
