3 Executive Summary Economic Indicator data included in this report is as of. The State of Oregon unemployment rate has stabilized; unemployment has ranged from 11.0% to 10.0% since March 31, Nevada has the highest unemployment rate at 13.20% while North Dakota, South Dakota and Nebraska are all below 5.0%. Oregon has the 43 rd highest rate in the nation. Washington County s unemployment rate was 8.1%; of the 36 counties, Washington ranked 5 th. Gilliam County has the lowest rate at 6.2% and Crook County the highest at 15.4%. Residential building permit activity is down slightly; for the three months ended, the three-month total for permit activity was 282 issued compared to 303 for the same three months in The activity is similar to the 283 issued for the same three months in 2009, but significantly below the 602 in Property taxes are the single largest source of discretionary revenue in the General Fund. While other revenue line items have seen more volatile fluctuations, property tax revenue has been increasing, although at a slower rate than in past years. General Fund revenues in total are slowly increasing, with the projected revenue for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, expected to be slightly higher than, going from $169.5m to $170.0m. With regards to specific General Fund revenue line items, recording fees and transient lodging taxare increasing while the real estate transfer tax are expected to decline. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, recording fees are expected to increase from $2.8m to $3.0m and the transfer tax is expected to decrease from $2.5m to $2.2m. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 the budgeted PERS rate was higher than the actual rate paid resulting in a $3 million increase in the General Fund ending fund balance. As a result, the fiscal year started with the General Fund reserve level at 20%. Land Use and Transportation continues to aggressively manage their Special Fund ending fund balances within the target ranges established by the department in The January 1, 2011 $0.06 increase in gas tax, as a result of the full implementation of House Bill 2001, will help fund road projects. The additional gas tax, plus increases in fuel and the use of mass transit by commuters to offset the higher price of fuel, contributes to the difficulties the department has experienced in keeping the ending fund balances within the targeted ranges. Investment income continues to remain at low levels. The State-managed local government investment pool rate of return has been at 0.50% since October 2010, while the County portfolio rate has been a little over 1.0% during the same period. As of the end of March, 2011, the collection rate for property taxes was slightly above prior year at 94.90% collected vs 94.79% collected in at that same time. Page 3 of 23

The two year note began the quarter at a rate of 0.60% and closed the quarter at 0.825%. The U.S. economy is becoming resilient and we are seeing signs of slow improvements in economic numbers. Inflation numbers came in higher than was anticipated last quarter and may return the FOMC s radar screen as a priority. To date, the Fed has seen no threat from inflation, but if it does accelerate, then the Fed will be forced to move rates up to control price expansion. U.S. growth appears to be on track in the short term; however, there are a number of headwinds including rising oil prices, high unemployment, and a sluggish housing market. Additionally, monetary and fiscal policy will likely become less accommodative as the year goes on. The market should continue to be volatile as unstable global conditions, U.S. political battles, and unknown circumstances/crisis will likely impact value in the government bond market. QE (quantitative easing) 2 will end in June: The Fed s $600 Billion minimum of Treasury buying will be completed by June 30 th and is dependent on the debt ceiling limit. We are also waiting on an announcement if the Fed is planning on QEIII. The goal of QE2 was to decrease long-term interest rates; however, the market reaction has been for higher rates in the longer sector of the market. In our opinion, if they do not complete the $600 billion in purchases and if QEIII is not executed, rates should increase. Inflation: Rising commodity prices have started to flow through to consumer prices, causing CPI to increase to 2.6%.Through this economic slowdown and flooding of liquidity, inflation has stayed low and has not disrupted the infusion of cash. However, if inflation does increase more drastically and the Fed views it as a threat, the Fed will have to look at moving rates up to mitigate the effect on the economy. Page 15 of 23
