Stakeholders identified the repaint as a priority, obtained three solicitations and received two bids; staff said the project is about $55,000 and that one contractor has equipment reserved and could begin next week. The stakeholder group had not been aware the work required county review and were concerned the contractor’s schedule window could be missed; if that happens, staff said the work could be delayed until next spring.

The board expressed support for expediting the county ‘‘blue sheet’’ review and placing the item at the start of the Tuesday business meeting if possible, but members also emphasized the need to confirm procurement and bidding rules were followed. Leslie (last name not specified) said she reviewed the bids and that, from her review, they appear to have documentation and the lowest bid is the one the stakeholders want to accept.

Commissioners asked staff to fast-track the blue-sheet paperwork and to bring the item before the board at the earliest business meeting, with the understanding that final approval remains contingent on county procurement rules and any required formal approvals. No formal vote was recorded in the transcript; the action was recorded as a direction to staff to expedite review and present the item for formal action.

County staff identified the key details to be verified before final approval: that the bidding process followed county procurement requirements, documentation of the deposit and bids, and safety/insurance compliance for the contractor equipment (staff cited the likely need for elevated-access equipment such as a man lift or cherry picker).","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","8-26-2025 BOCC Admin Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","A stakeholder group and museum foundation obtained bids and placed a deposit to repaint the Baldwin Hotel; Klamath County commissioners instructed staff to fast-track review so work can proceed as early as next week while checking procurement compliance.","taxTitle","Klamath County, Oregon","taxId",52087,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":42,"_45":78,"_46":79,"_48":80,"_50":81,"_52":82,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":83,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":84,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6506468,"Klamath County assigns interim oversight for code enforcement and tax/property sales amid supervisory vacancy",423,423000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5681188-cf3080bd28b3b4b205baf7c3a5865b85&start=0&end=423","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5681188-cf3080bd28b3b4b205baf7c3a5865b85/thumbnail_0.jpg","/articles/6506468/Klamath-County/Oregon/Klamath-County-assigns-interim-oversight-for-code-enforcement-and-taxproperty-sales-amid-supervisory-vacancy","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6506468-02fbac708922fde87e16d2ba14ef3cb4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771184855&Signature=Ci4Bgrm9X1zxEP1OpC8SbIDl42DsYoxJggeIqyWkHY0U~5~FA70hsHGgVOKKMdcT221l3AbHl8tZHiPxZwLbfY1rX0HCoI5Jq3x9DBHEJhp~QcJUQOg7p0HBcCeLB32iBxxA9ss5ky59bsjdKr7AkFCd3ouWuacSpEUfnJJzbdqKfhzlggy8qi7GwBBvbjlVIBlBrB1KIITm~X32a0uERe9Tp7YnKW40Kt~hWJO4aTRqutyaCP7pwWzU4Dg~P4~pNw9SKqRwBbBoe5UwcgY0~qczX2EAIcy58v5RrV8GDQanpfgWKC6C~2lJo2Tv5v4HjM91kVONGsCBgS~ZSJcaAA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Klamath County Board of Commissioners on an unspecified date agreed to interim coverage for its code enforcement and tax/property sales operations after a supervisory vacancy left no dedicated supervisor for code enforcement.

County staff described the departments as three separate operations—property sales, tax, and code enforcement—with limited overlap. County Building Official Stephanie (last name not specified) told the board she is already compensated in part from code enforcement duties and volunteered to assume short-term supervisory responsibilities for code enforcement. Staff said the code enforcement group comprises three code officers and one administrative employee, and that the tax/property work has a deputy who can cover that department in the interim.

The matter matters because the county lacks a designated code-enforcement supervisor and county staff said they want to avoid service gaps while a longer review of departmental structure is completed. Commissioners and staff discussed moving some planning tasks off Stephanie’s plate to the public works director, who now oversees planning, and keeping Kayla (last name not specified) responsible for tax and property sales in the short term.

Commissioners flagged that larger reorganization decisions should be considered as part of forthcoming budget and structure discussions. An unnamed commissioner suggested the county consider placing nuisance-code enforcement under the office of the sheriff, saying he had discussed the idea with the sheriff and that the sheriff had “leaned very much the same direction.” That commissioner said the proposal was prompted in part by repeated occasions where both deputies and code officers responded separately to the same locations, producing duplicated responses.

Board members emphasized the interim assignments were short term. No formal vote was recorded in the transcript; the board indicated consensus to proceed with the interim coverage and to discuss broader structural options during regular budget and organizational reviews.

The board also noted the need to clarify liaison assignments: Stephanie said she currently serves as building official and planning contact and that Commissioner Minty is liaison for building and Commissioner Nichols is liaison for planning; staff suggested moving the partial planning duties Stephanie handles to the acting planning director in public works.

The commissioners instructed staff to proceed with the interim plan while preparing for a structured review of departmental responsibilities during upcoming budget discussions.","The Klamath County Board of Commissioners agreed to interim assignments after a supervisory vacancy left code enforcement without a dedicated supervisor; staff and commissioners discussed longer-term structural changes including a proposal to move nuisance enforcement to the sheriff’s office.","actionData","errors"]
