LA PINE, OR -- Deschutes County Commissioners are now accepting applications to fill the vacant La Pine Park and Recreation Board of Directors. The parks board has no affiliation with the county, but under state law, Commissioners are required to fill the board since it is fully vacant. The board resigned en masse last week.

Applicants should email a letter of interest and resume to the county. The deadline is midnight October 20th. Commissioners will conduct interviews on the 23rd and aim to appoint all five members at that time.

The newly appointed members will serve through June 30, 2025 and could file to run in the next election in May.
