Oregon awarded federal funds to support reinsurance program SALEM—Oregon is one of the first three states to receive funding from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to support a state reinsurance program. The state’s award will be approxi- mately $54 million. The Oregon Reinsurance Program, created during last year’s legislative session, spreads the risk of high-cost claims among all insurance companies to steady the indi- vidual health market. The Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services (ODCBS) will man- age the program. “This federal funding recog- nizes our work to provide comprehensive health insur- ance options for Oregonians,” said Cameron Smith, director of OSCBS. “The Oregon Reinsurance Program will help provide market stability for over 200,000 individuals, and encourage insurance compa- nies to offer plans in every corner of the state.” The reinsurance program will be funded by the federal award, funds from the Oregon Te m p o r a r y R e i n s u r a n c e Program that ended in 2016, the Oregon Health Insurance Marketplace assessment, and the assessment that was approved by the Measure 101 vote. Now that funding is secured, the department can set operating parameters and guidelines for the reinsurance program. Estimated funding will be more than $90 million for 2018. The Department of Consumer and Business Services is Oregon’s largest business regulatory and con- sumer protection agency.

Citizen volunteers sought for Dunes City committees Several opportunities exist for Dunes City residents to contribute to their community. The Planning Commission is seeking a new member to replace Brett McKnight, who recently resigned. The Planning Commission considers land use applications and revisions to land use codes. Members of the Planning Commission also provide over- sight of the City’s Citizen Involvement Program. This position offers an excel- lent opportunity to learn how the implementation of land use code takes place, what must be done to change codes, and the process of public hearings. The Budget Committee is seeking two additional mem- bers to replace vacancies creat- ed as terms ended. This is the group that helps guide the fis- cal future of the city by setting spending guidelines. For anyone with prior budg- eting experience who wants to get involved, the position is an ideal place to serve Dunes City. Community members inter- ested in any of these volunteer opportunities can stop by City Hall, 82877 Spruce St. in Westlake, or call 541-997-3338 to obtain an application. The application is also avail- able at the City’s website. There is no cutoff date for applications, however early applicants may be appointed as soon as the City Council meet- ing at its next regularly sched- uled time, which is the second Wednesday of every month, beginning at 6 p.m. Applicants will be notified of the date the City Council will consider their application and should plan on attending the meeting.
