Board of County Commissioners' Meeting - May 21, 2026

The Clackamas County Board of Commissioners held a business meeting on May 21, 2026, which included a public hearing and approval of a supplemental budget resolution for fiscal year 2025-2026. The budget adjustments involved recognizing increased appropriations totaling approximately $18.5 million across various county departments, including the sheriff's office, county council, library services, road fund, and health centers. Several interfund transfers and contingency reallocations were approved to cover operating expenses and special payments. The board unanimously approved the supplemental budget resolution. Additionally, the consent agenda included multiple contract amendments and agreements with state agencies and service providers, such as a $130,148 amendment with the Oregon State Marine Board and a $641,489 amendment with the Oregon Health Authority, among others, with no county general funds involved in many cases. The meeting also featured recognition of county projects receiving regional awards and discussions on mental health awareness initiatives and community services. Commissioners discussed concerns about budget contingency depletion and the need for transparent communication regarding levy funding and expenditures. A follow-up meeting was scheduled to provide direction on budget matters. No new procurement solicitations were announced, but several contract amendments and funding allocations were approved.
