10-13-2026 BOCC Admin Meeting

Klamath County Board of County Commissioners administrative meeting, October 13, 2026. The board approved hiring an assistant road superintendent with a stated fiscal impact of $3,848. It also declared a one-ton pickup with engine problems and a 1994 spray rig (estimated value just over $10,000) surplus and authorized the Public Works director to auction them. Planning and surveyor fee changes were discussed, including proposed increases and revised land-use fees, but were to go through the required process rather than be decided at this meeting. The board approved an additional operating transfer for the DA’s Office and Animal Control; Animal Control was reported about $17,000 over budget, while the DA’s amount was not specified. Commissioners also discussed the possibility of contracting for some animal-control work, without taking action on that option.

The board approved tourism grants totaling $75,000 and economic-development grants from a $50,000 available budget. The tourism awards named in the transcript included Big Springs Park and Recreation District ($3,000), Cascade Athletic Group ($10,000), David Alliance ($14,000), Patriot Mat Club LLC ($5,000), Pelican City Curling ($2,500), and Aries Spiritual Center ($14,500). The economic-development awards were stated as $7,000 for FC 365 Street Investors’ Main Street technology room project, $26,000 for the Crater Gateway Station project, and $17,000 for Finally Growing/Sustaining Food Farms in Klamath County. The transcript’s wording of the economic-development motion’s total is unclear, but the listed awards add up to the $50,000 budget.
