# Marion County Commissioners Meeting - August 26, 2026

The Marion County Board of Commissioners meeting on August 26, 2026, approved its consent calendar, including two construction-contract amendments. Amendment No. 1 with North San Paving Company adds $153,914.74 to the North Fork improvement project, bringing the contract total to $714,147.74; the work includes an asphalt overlay, flush curbs, stone texturing, and landscaping, with an estimated completion date of March 31, 2027. The board also approved Amendment No. 1 for North Fork Road slide stabilization repairs beneath a collapsed emergency access lane; the revised contract total is $7,366,352.61, with work scheduled through April 30, 2027. The transcript does not clearly state the amendment’s added amount. The consent calendar also ratified collective bargaining agreements with estimated additional costs of $751,875 for the District Attorneys Association agreement (July 2026–June 2029) and $653,212 for the Juvenile Employee Association agreement (July 2026–June 2028). The consent calendar passed.

The board voted to remove from the Brooks Community Service District governing-body agenda an intergovernmental agreement with Chemeketa Community College concerning raw well water. In a separate land-use hearing, commissioners approved a zone change from exclusive farm use to interchange district and a comprehensive-plan designation change from primary agriculture to commercial for a 3.12-acre parcel near the Donald/Aurora interchange. Jubitz Corporation described plans for potential highway-serving commercial uses, including expanded fuel and convenience-store facilities and possibly fast food; this was a land-use approval, not a procurement award.
