Commissioner Derek Johnson introduced the ambassadors — Brianna Titulard, Orion Gladheart, Kaden (Caden) Christiansen and Quinn Johnston — and invited each to describe their post‑graduation plans and what they hope to accomplish while serving as fair ambassadors.

Brianna Titulard, a Dayton High School graduate, said she will attend George Fox University in Newberg in the fall to study elementary education. Orion Gladheart, also from Dayton High School, said he plans to attend the University of Idaho to major in animal sciences with an emphasis on production and marketing and to minor in agricultural business. Caden Christiansen, an Amity High School graduate, said he will begin at Chemeketa Community College before transferring to Oregon State University to study agricultural business with a minor in animal science. Quinn Johnston, a recent Dayton High School graduate, said he will attend Chemeketa and is still deciding on a long-term career path but hopes to use the ambassador role to promote the fair and bring in visitors.

Commissioners asked the ambassadors how they overcame nerves around public speaking and what they were most looking forward to at the fair. Ambassadors said practice and participation in organizations such as Future Farmers of America helped them become more comfortable speaking in public, and they said they most looked forward to meeting people, making community connections and promoting the fair — including attracting visitors from outside Yamhill County. One ambassador suggested exploring future relocation or expansion of the fairgrounds to accommodate growth and additional horse events; commissioners did not take action on that suggestion during the meeting.

Ending: Commissioners thanked the ambassadors and invited them to stay for the remainder of the meeting or continue with their day.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Commissioners Formal Session 06/12/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Four 2025 Yamhill County Fair and Rodeo ambassadors — high-school graduates — visited the Board of Commissioners to introduce themselves, describe post‑graduation plans and discuss their goals as fair ambassadors.","taxTitle","Yamhill County, Oregon","taxId",37510,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6526295,"Yamhill County commissioners approve letter opposing proposed ODOT transportation tax package",149,1519000,1668000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3800714-bfbdebb338ff9378dc7f347a39d49da8&start=1519&end=1668","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3800714-bfbdebb338ff9378dc7f347a39d49da8/thumbnail_1519000.jpg","/articles/6526295/Yamhill-County/Oregon/Yamhill-County-commissioners-approve-letter-opposing-proposed-ODOT-transportation-tax-package","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6526295-0e8b1edf3ec4919f1acf5c72a4469ba6/orig.mp4?Expires=1776693956&Signature=KSxDBwniUhuuBa6kpULwj~-K2JYSxavKbhFGJjUsoMaqxOGDWu1YBPmt-Zl3fmxG7zag3VtoDu4HPJCcHr8JD9S7j-BzBu1~wx6eSKWpE2l9Hc76FLuvYrcsWx3d8LK3KVg7FWIyn12OcxTpBBIxMY4AAMRmu7~zkOY8HlXvqKBM67kVX1h8sMIGl5GjEHLKNiWWa9q79AvSDAF~h51OFwYH9pJmw6H1999X4l1D8jn5yQ7oLHRra7b80eYM6drFQeLUoLuXvunyXTQqcm0FiEvpOh8TCNTPYWkF2iKcNApB-8Nf-G5E7gvQCCE~O8ar-D2help~jEt5fuQCXSocag__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Yamhill County Board of Commissioners voted June 12 to send a letter opposing the Oregon Department of Transportation’s proposed transportation tax package as presented in testimony on House Bill 2025.

Commissioner Starett introduced the request, citing testimony submitted on HB 2025 and saying the proposed package would impose multiple large increases on Oregonians. On the record, the board referenced the components described in testimony: a 37% increase in the gas tax indexed to inflation, a 300% increase in a transit payroll tax as described in testimony, a 62% increase in DMV fees, an increase in vehicle registration from $45 to $111, a license-plate fee rise from $12 to $33, a 2% transfer tax on new cars, a proposed tax on used cars, a vehicle-privilege or road-use tax, and a new charge for companies operating 10 or more delivery vehicles.

Starett said the combination of those measures would be “absolutely catastrophic for already strapped” household budgets and asked the board to approve submission of a letter opposing the package. Another commissioner on the record said they had offered public comment supporting targeted aspects of HB 2025 — specifically prioritizing the Newberg-Dundee bypass — but agreed that some funding mechanisms in the proposal were problematic and supported the letter.

The motion to submit the letter passed by voice vote. The chair recorded no further amendments; the board did not specify the exact language of the letter during the meeting. Commissioners noted there were additional hearings scheduled and encouraged public testimony online.

Ending: The board directed that a letter be submitted opposing the package as described in testimony; copy of the final letter and the text of HB 2025 were not read into the record during the session.","The board authorized a letter opposing a broad transportation revenue package being considered by the Oregon Legislature, citing large tax increases and local impact concerns.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6526296,"Yamhill County commissioners approve multiple fee changes, contracts and service agreements",645,1215000,1860000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3800714-bfbdebb338ff9378dc7f347a39d49da8&start=1215&end=1860","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3800714-bfbdebb338ff9378dc7f347a39d49da8/thumbnail_1215000.jpg","/articles/6526296/Yamhill-County/Oregon/Yamhill-County-commissioners-approve-multiple-fee-changes-contracts-and-service-agreements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6526296-b569115fd1a48c473f94aac93d07b0a9/orig.mp4?Expires=1776693956&Signature=mG8z41DYsGZp4g9gFpDGjNU0Q58rbsTYFZ-ykqLMy3MbNdX836CPTkl0OzTw4zAV4EtBKWvE5cXtExdmj4BvJQLjGuqHINsdYvchrvbJECxDqqLhUq0QdH7FqP~MD11cAYahCcKjzHDYu49wDV1zgPRIxBg7zrhaw2P7Fpo-Njtv4QsQ0UiAwIF0PMGJQbhHLNmtJaCzu~Qw5HGIhLm8ZwdqbK4k9YnWvbKcoq5WzDVJEeNCGY~Hqu5hc85Uipk2XU7BIOmgn28clSld9eaf0rt486mK~h7uIJ1jJha9mwq~TgaEGsLQMgllqAMhvvLlduUd~BWUPj4VHTtreWxukQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Yamhill County Board of Commissioners on June 12 approved a package of board orders, contracts and amendments covering fee schedules, intergovernmental police services, behavioral-health program agreements and an internal transfer of appropriations to cover a loan payment.

The board voted to adopt an increase to certain fees charged by the Department of Planning and Development, effective July 1, 2025, and to amend fees charged by the Yamhill County Surveyor with the same effective date. The board also approved a two-year police-services contract between the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office and the City of Sheridan for $642,030.48 for fiscal year 2025–26 and $655,039.80 for fiscal year 2026–27, covering the period July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027.

Health and Human Services items approved included adoption of proposed usual-and-customary behavioral-health rates, public-health clinic rates and environmental-health fees for 2025–26 (effective July 1, 2025); Amendment No. 3 to Agreement No. 180161 with the Oregon Health Authority extending that agreement through June 30, 2026 (board order 23-176); an amendment to a contract employment agreement increasing an administrative services rate to $39.14 per hour (not to exceed 19 hours per week) effective July 9, 2025; and school-district counseling agreements with the Willamina School District (not to exceed $77,177.61, September 2025–May 2026) and the Sheridan School District (not to exceed $129,087.45, September 2025–May 2026). The board also approved an amendment to the county’s behavioral-health services agreement with the City of McMinnville (board order 24-078), retroactive March 1, 2025, through February 28, 2026.

Separately, the board approved a transfer of appropriation authority within Fund 440 (from line 1030027-82001 to 1030027-79500) of $359,993.33 to increase the loan interest payment line for the first payment on a land-acquisition loan due June 2025. County staff explained the reallocation is intended to comply with Oregon budget law, which requires debt service to be appropriated separately from capital or operating expenses.

Most motions were moved and approved without extended debate; several items were described as unanimous approvals by the chair. For the consent agenda the clerk recorded the motion as passing with Commissioners Starett and Johnston voting aye and Commissioner King recorded as absent. For other items the board used voice votes and the chair announced motions as passed.

The board did not discuss substantive policy changes beyond what is noted above during these votes.

Ending: The approvals will take effect on the dates specified in each order or agreement; staff contact information and full board-order texts were not read into the record during the session and are available in the county clerk’s office for anyone seeking the full documents.","At its June 12 meeting the Yamhill County Board of Commissioners approved a series of board orders, contracts and amendments including planning and survey fee increases, multi-year police-service contracts with Sheridan, several behavioral-health agreements and a fund transfer to cover a loan payment.","actionData","errors"]
