1. Start with Baker City’s actual service geography
Baker City is recorded as a municipality in Baker County, Oregon. If your firm serves Baker City and the surrounding county, your intake design should distinguish the location a prospective client provides from the geography your firm accepts. A city name alone should not determine eligibility, urgency or assignment.
Recommended approach
On a consultation, review the locations your forms, calls and staff notes currently capture. Decide whether geography is an intake question, a routing condition, a reporting field or simply context for the conversation. Keep Baker City and Baker County distinct wherever your records or service boundaries require that distinction.
