Board of Commissioners Formal Session 6/11/2026

The Yamhill County Board of Commissioners held a formal session on June 11, 2026, covering a range of topics including community outreach, opioid settlement fund allocations, equipment leasing, and budget adjustments. Key procurement-related discussions included approval to lease two motor graders under a state government contract for $751,472, with the intent to reduce maintenance costs and build future purchasing funds. The board also approved a price change for fluorescent light tube disposal at the Waste Management transfer station. Significant attention was given to the use of opioid settlement funds, with recommendations to expand treatment and recovery services through purchasing or renovating a house for intensive outpatient care, estimated at around $850,000, and a potential partnership with Clackamas County for a recovery campus involving a $250,000 one-time cost. The board expressed consensus on these directions, with formal contract approvals to follow. Additionally, the board approved an agreement for police services with the city of Dayton valued at $219,129.31 for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. Budget modifications included increasing discretionary funds to cover a dues increase and reclassifying a county council position. No formal votes were taken on opioid fund allocations during this session, but consensus was indicated. The meeting also featured public comments on local land access issues and community updates.
