The Multnomah County Board of Commissioners held a regular hybrid meeting on June 26, 2026, addressing several procurement and budget-related items. Key procurement discussions included approval of a funding agreement with the Oregon Historical Society for a renewed levy supporting historical societies, and authorization for an intergovernmental agreement with the Oregon Housing and Community Services Department to access state funds for a moderate income revolving loan program aimed at expanding affordable housing development. The board also considered a resolution to adopt a population emergency release plan for the Juvenile Services Division to manage detention facility capacity, though the vote on this was postponed for further review. Additionally, the board approved an intergovernmental agreement with Troutdale for cable revenue collection and an updated franchise agreement with Comcast, ensuring continuity of cable services and funding allocations. Public testimony covered infrastructure funding concerns, library access issues, and community safety ordinances. Several motions and votes were taken to approve contracts, agreements, and ordinances impacting county services and capital projects.
