The Josephine County Commissioners worked quickly through their agenda during the weekly business session Thursday morning.
Commissioner Ron Smith made a motion to accept the Consent Calendar, which was seconded by Commissioner Chris Barnett. The motion carried with a 3-0 vote.
In other matters, Commissioner Barnett said he wanted to make a motion to approve the library lease presented on August 21st in its original form before the amendment change. There was no second.
Commissioner Andreas Blech told his constituents that he will reach out to legal counsel with how to move ahead with the library lease. He also shared the board had reviewed and approved all pending administrative and personal actions without objections.
During the announcements Commissioner Barnett reminded the community of the Flag Retirement Ceremony September 6th, Drug Court Graduation September 26th, and Patriots Day September 11th. Commissioner Blech thanked the firefighters working on the NW Josephine County fires.
Citizen Comments included the recalls of Blech and Barnett, the Memorial Day Protests, those in favor of the OSU Extension, those unhappy with the Commissioners leadership, as well as those in favor of their work.
