The Public Safety Program is responsible for licensing and regulating the operation of the liquor and recreational marijuana industry in Oregon. The OLCC has five regional offices housing aspects of each program. The Portland or "Metro region" office is located in Milwaukie, Oregon (a suburb of Portland) and also operates as the Headquarters for the agency. The remaining regional offices are located in Medford, Salem, Bend, and Eugene. In addition to these regional offices, the agency staffs a number of satellite offices for intake of liquor applications and to house operations for the agency's field inspectors, who report to regional managers at each of their parent regional offices. Board A seven-member board of commissioners meets monthly to set OLCC policy and make decisions in areas such as liquor licenses, rules, contested case hearings and appointments of liquor store agents. The governor appoints and the Senate confirms these commissioners for four-year terms. Each commissioner represents a congressional district.
