Board of Commissioners Formal Session 09/03/2026

The Yamhill County Board of Commissioners held a formal session on September 3, 2026, addressing several procurement and contract-related matters. Key procurement actions included approval of an employee agreement with Jeff Clevenger for building, plumbing, and mechanical inspections at $75 per hour through 2028, and an amendment to contract PW260002C with Roy Hall Construction LLC increasing the contract amount to $1,173,574 through October 31. The board also approved multiple change orders (numbers 2 through 5) to a contract with Haworth Construction, Inc. for facility improvements related to security and office adaptations, with funding managed through reserve funds and surplus property sales. Additionally, the board authorized acceptance of a $1,500 Department of Public Safety Standards and Training grant and approved a memorandum of understanding with Sheridan School District for emergency property use. A motion passed to designate a retired narcotics detection K9 as surplus property and authorize its purchase by the handler. The meeting included discussion on zoning ordinance amendments related to transportation facilities and trails, with a decision to send the matter back to the planning commission for further public input and refinement, particularly concerning farm impact studies and property rights. No new capital projects were initiated, but ongoing infrastructure and public safety contracts were actively managed.
