BCC Cancels Next Week's Business Session & Hears Several Public Comments
The Josephine County Board of Commissioners had only one action item on its agenda for today's business session, but an abundance of public comments made the meeting last more than 30 minutes.
The Board approved an order canceling next Wednesday's business session for a number of reasons including a lack of a quorum on the day before Thanksgiving. Two out of the three commissioners are required to conduct business.
Before approving the order unanimously, Board Chair Herman Baertschiger said staff members informed him that there were no pressing business items for the agenda. Commissioners John West and Dan DeYoung agreed to the cancellation, but reserved the right to hold other meetings on Monday and Tuesday, if needed.
During Requests and Comments from Citizens, a number of participants were given three minutes to address the Board on issues pertaining to Josephine County.
The comments ranged from both positive and negative feedback on the apparent voter approval of a new law enforcement district in last week's election to future fire district assessments, the rural-urban divide, the proliferation of trash in the county and sharing with others on Thanksgiving.
