Thank you for being here and for contributing your time and effort to this important work.

The annual Coastal Caucus Legislative Summit is an excellent way for our legislators and participants to improve their knowledge of our region’s challenges and opportunities, and explore statewide issues impacting our regional economies including carbon sequestration, ocean acidification, broadband, transportation, workforce training and housing.

We are presenting this year’s Oregon Legislative Coastal Caucus Economic Summit (OCCES) in partnership with the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians and Chinook Winds Casino Resort and, special thanks to our primary partners: Spectrum and the University of Oregon.

The twin themes that share the platform at this year’s Summit are: (1) Student Success: Challenges and Opportunities in Education, and (2) The Sequestration of Carbon: A Collaborative Approach to Cap, Investment and Green Energy Job Growth. During the Summit, you will hear from key public and private sector leaders who will address these themes with the goal of sharing ideas for the enhancement of the potential for economic prosperity, social cohesion and cultural enrichment in our region and our state. As we focus on these themes, your participation will help direct our legislative work in the coming year.

Engaging panel discussions will enrich the dialogue and help to provide the foundation for the productive collaborations that are so vital to the crafting of workable solutions. You have an important role to play in sustaining and contributing to the very constructive discussions and meaningful outcomes that have become a hallmark of OCCES so please maximize your participation, by reaching out to those you have not met before, learn from one another and work together to build solutions to challenges we share in Oregon.

We want to thank in advance our guest speakers, sponsors, our Taste of the Oregon Coast presenters and all our attendees for visiting us on the coast. We hope you have some time while here to enjoy the natural beauty of our forested and rural areas as well as some of the amazing activities along the almost 400-mile stretch of our state’s awe-inspiring coastline.

A former Chair of the Curry County Board of Commissioners and the elected Association of Oregon Counties (AOC) District 4 Chair are just two of the positions he has held in his extensive history in local government.

David has been blessed to serve on four House Committees, as well as one Joint Committee working with the Oregon State Senate. All of which involve critical work for

our District in Southwest Oregon. Vice Chair - Economic Development & Trade, Vice Chair – Joint Committee on Carbon Reduction, Agriculture & Natural Resources, Energy &

Environment, Early Childhood & Family Support.

She has been appointed to most of the House committees over the years but focused on Emergency Preparedness, Ocean and Fisheries, Renewable Energy and Hydrokenetic Ocean Energy, Veterans Services and Human Services.

Many of the bills she championed were minor enabling legislation to move ocean energy issues forward. Her work in emergency preparedness drove her to sponsor bills that

would support ocean and tidal energy devices, so the coastal communities would have a source of power after a disaster. Some of her legislation includes the award winning HR3, the

Oregon Resilience Plan. Once a plan had been developed and an implementation plan designed she shepherded another bill to create the Office of Resilience within the Governor’s cabinet. A bill to utilize unwanted species by-catch that had been thrown overboard was written and passed providing a way to use the fish and stop wasting it. It now goes to food banks.

She is a member of the legislative Coastal Caucus, a bi-cameral bi-partisan caucus of representatives and senators who serve Oregon’s coastal communities. Her style of legislating encompasses working collaboratively with all stakeholders as well as the other side of the aisle and giving others credit for the work. She has worked for many years in climate change with the Canadian team in California that includes Ontario and Quebec, learning from them how to design a carbon reduction system that fits Oregon.

Her last full session in 2017 was challenged when her husband was battling brain cancer and she became his full-time caregiver. She is forever grateful to Sen. Betsy Johnson who selflessly picked up the slack and was instrumental in helping get votes in the Senate including a bill to allow volunteer firefighters a tax check-off in the ninth attempt for passage. It was especially important as her husband spent more than 20 years as a local volunteer fire chief. She will retire at the end of the current term.

Afternoon Concurrent Session |Panel E2 | 1:15 to 2:45 p.m. (Takelma Room)

Transportation Carbon Reduction: Allowances for New Sources of Revenue or Incentives to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions?

The Oregon Global Warming Commission 2017 Report to the Legislature showed an increase in emissions in the state, largely due to higher transportation emissions. The Department of Environmental Quality noted that approximately one-third of Oregon's greenhouse gases come from the transportation sector. Oregon’s Clean Fuels program was established to reduce the carbon intensity of transportation fuels by way of deploying cleaner transportation fuels, such as lower carbon ethanol, natural gas, biogas and propane.

The panel will explore the opportunities and challenges of reducing the state’s carbon emissions from transportation, in the context of legislation being crafted by the Joint Committee on Carbon Reduction. Since Oregon Clean Fuels is critical to carbon reduction, should the legislative assembly focus on increasing the program while simultaneously reducing toxic air pollution?

Afternoon Concurrent Session |Panel F1 | 2:45 to 4 p.m. (Shasta Room)

Utilities-Energy-Are We There Yet – Creating a Path Towards Renewable Energy

The energy sector plays a critical role in the planning of renewable energy technologies and their role in developing cleaner efficient energy technologies. With the deployment of solar- and wind-powered electricity as alternatives to traditional sources of energy, there are still major obstacles to renewables that affect economic opportunities in rural communities. This panel will explore opportunities and obstacles for cleaner energy on the Oregon Coast and other rural areas.

Afternoon Concurrent Session |Panel F2 | 2:45 to 4 p.m. (Takelma Room)

Can carbon pricing unleash the climate remedying potential of Oregon’s Forests, Farms, Water, Ocean and high desert?

The Oregon Global Warming Commission’s report suggests that unlike much of the world’s forested lands, Oregon forests appear to be net accumulators of carbon. This opens possibilities for our state’s natural resources to become part of the global solution to reducing carbon. This panel will explore some of the economic opportunities and challenges in forestry and agriculture relative to statewide carbon reduction legislation.

OCCES Annual Summit | Lincoln City, OR Concurrent Roundtable Session 1:15 pm – 2:45 pm (Showroom)

Challenges Facing the Oregon Marijuana Industry Although the Oregon marijuana industry is facing many challenges, two big issues have risen to the surface: (1) How to deal with large-scale overproduction and illegal diversion into the black market; and (2) How to avoid conflicts between neighbors, most notably in rural residential Oregon, where a lot of production occurs, thereby, creating conflicts over water, sound, light, and smell.

RURAL BROADBAND Wednesday, August 22, 2018

OCCES Annual Summit | Lincoln City, OR Afternoon Session | 2:30 – 5:30pm

(Chetco & Tututni Rooms)

State Broadband: the best broadband infrastructure technologies for rural-coast communities

The Oregon Broadband Advisory Council (OBAC) and a Broadband Advisory Council Fund were created in the 2009 Legislative session to help ensure the implementation of statewide broadband strategies. Ten years later, the digital divide continues to exist in Oregon and telecommunications technology is changing rapidly. What are the underlying conditions that prevent or deter Oregonians from accessing broadband service and utilizing the array of applications it offers from which they can bene�it? What is needed now to address the digital divide?

Welcome: Rep. Caddy McKeown / Sen. Betsy Johnson Facilitator: Alex Campbell, Regional Solutions Coordinator, Of�ice of Governor Kate Brown

I. Policy Context

• John E. Huffman, Oregon State Director, United States Department of Agriculture, RuralDevelopment

• Craig Honeyman, Legislative Director, League of Oregon Cities• Representative Pam Marsh, Vice-Chair of the House Committee on Economic Development

and Trade• Karen Perry, Senior Policy Analyst, National Telecommunication and Information

Administration’s BroadbandUSA program• Chris Tamarin, Telecommunications Strategist, Business Oregon

II. Solutions for Expanding Broadband Access to Rural Areas –

Rural Oregonians like urban residents want fast, affordable internet that allows them to work remotely, use online services, and access government data. However, the 21st century economy is leaving many behind, and there are still Oregonians with a crucial need still unmet.

Fifth generation wireless (5G) is the “hot new thing” in telecommunications infrastructure and is driving massive new investment. But, what is it, what does it mean for rural, and what can be done to take advantage? If 5G is not the solution, what is? How do we build partnerships to actively encourage broadband deployment in rural areas?

• Gordon Cook, Director, Network Field Engineering, Northwest• Milt Doumit, VP, Government Affairs for the Paci�ic NW, Verizon• Joseph Franell, Chair, Oregon Broadband Advisory Council (OBAC), General Manager and

CEO, Eastern Oregon Telecom (EOT)•

Morning Session |Panel A | 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. (Showroom)

Student Success: Perspectives from Oregon’s Nine Federally Recognized Tribes Oregon’s nine federally-recognized Indian tribal governments were in existence prior to the formation of the United States of America, and thus retain a unique legal status. For a long time, Oregon has recognized the importance of continued communication and collaboration, through state legislative and executive actions with its tribal government partners, beginning with SB 386 (1975). The bill created the Legislative Commission on Indian Services and made Oregon a leader in promoting positive state and tribal relations to benefit all Oregonians. The panel will discuss how our tribal students achieve success, while still maintaining their cultural customs and values in educational systems that do not always recognize those important aspects of tribal students’ upbringing.

Moderator: Karen Quigley, Executive Director, Legislative Commission on Indian Services (LCIS)

This panel’s dialogue will include students from each of the universities. Panelists will address how their institutions collaborate with Oregon’s K-12 system to help advance student readiness, as well as discuss Oregon’s aspirational goals for educational achievement.

Engage, Educate, Reengage: Promoting Student Success Through Collaboration

Oregon's students spend less time in the classroom than their peers in most other states and our graduation rates are some of the lowest in the nation. Educators have insufficient resources to serve students in an increasingly complex learning environment. Although policy experts, parents and educators are aware of the disparities that exist in student outcomes, a widening an achievement gap continues to exist between white students and students of color.

Business Leaders, Practitioners and Policy-Makers: Working Together to Drive Student Success and Build Leaders of Tomorrow It’s no secret that many students in Oregon’s K-12 system are not getting the support they need to prepare for tomorrow due to underfunded classrooms, large class sizes, short school years and massive budget cuts. Will the 2019 Legislature be able to advance student success?
