# 11-3-2026 Admin Meeting

At the November 3, 2026 Klamath County administrative meeting, commissioners approved 5% out-of-class premiums for a finance payroll clerk, the museum curation manager (about $145.17 per pay period while the director is on leave), and the assistant emergency manager. They also approved establishing a senior deputy district attorney position for major felony cases; the estimated 2026–27 cost was stated unclearly in the transcript, and staff said the department has funds available. The board approved an additional $300,000 from the county well program for Klamath Community College’s well-drilling apprenticeship program to support its launch and sustainability. The motion passed; staff said the expenditure is an eligible use under the county’s agreement with OWRD.

Biomass One described difficulties continuing its existing landfill wood-waste arrangement under current pricing and said it would need revised pricing to keep processing and removing material; the board took no action. Public Works reported the East Langell Valley Bridge project was completed under budget and discussed a related right-of-way adjustment. Community representatives also presented a proposed ordinance change addressing truancy and chronic absenteeism; commissioners requested further consultation with stakeholders, including the district attorney and courts, before the proposal returns. No contract award or bid approval was identified.
