Commissioners have varied agenda

Tuesday morning, Linn County Commissioners Roger Nyquist, Sherrie Sprenger and Will Tucker tackled the following agenda items:

  • Were told by Planning & Building Director Steve Wills that 233 total non-structural permits were issued in January and there were 21 dwelling permits. There were seven new code enforcement cases and nine cases were closed.
  • Gave Parks & Recreation Director Stacey Whaley permission to apply for a Local Government Grant Program from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. If successful, funds would be used to make improvements to John Neal Memorial Park near Lyons.
  • Accepted a plaque of appreciation from Christine Ferguson of the Linn County Veterans Day Committee for the county’s support of the annual parade and other events. The county allows the group to use the Courthouse steps for programming and rooms in the courthouse for tallying the band judging.
  • Approved amending the Linn County Public Contracting Rules presented by County Attorney Gene Karandy. The document amends the scope of personal services contracts to include contracts for computer software, hardware and network system implementation, support, repair and maintenance services.
  • Appointed Shannon Pettner of Sweet Home to a four-year term on the Ambulance Service Area Advisory Committee.
  • Approved the appointment of Ricardo Contreras to a new Position 7 on the Community Action Advisory Council.
