    1. Commissioner Boyd - Said he worked with Animal Control a lot last week and he thanked his staff and everyone at Animal Control for their efforts. He has also been working on water issues.  He met with about 30 people yesterday to talk about a  sustainable water agreement for all parties in the Klamath basin including farmers, ranchers, tribes and environmental interests, it was a great meeting.  He said he heard last  night that Brigadier General Dan Bunch has been named Chief of the National Guard Bureau as the Air National Guard Assistant to the Judge Advocate General of the United States Air Force. He assumes the position on July 1, 2018. He will assume a second star and become a Major General. He will be the ranking Judge Advocate in the entire National Guard, serving part time at the Pentagon. He served 8 years in active duty before starting his Guard career at the 173rd Fighter Wing.  He is proud to represent Kingsley Field,  Klamath Falls and the State of Oregon at the National level. He thanked Dan for his service.
       
    2. Commissioner DeGroot - He congratulated Dan.  He said Major General is a big deal and it's exciting to have someone from Klamath attain that level.  He said, Friday he spent time touring Intelifab, they are hiring like gang busters.  They are trying to become "the Henry Ford of houses."  He met with Betty Riley from South Central Oregon Economic  Development District, there are exciting opportunities for block grants to address housing and blight issues. He said, it seems each of us has a department we are spending alot of time in and mine is DD Services going over a new structure for that department. Hopefully we will get that worked out by the end of the month and get back to providing the level of service the community deserves.
