Summary
Salem County commissioners introduced two bond ordinances—one to fund improvements to the Camp Kearney Dam and spillway and another to acquire property and equipment for an animal shelter—setting public hearings for Aug. 6, 2025.
The Salem County Board of Commissioners introduced two bond ordinances during its meeting and scheduled public hearings and adoption for Aug. 6, 2025, at 4 p.m.
Deputy Director Osterholm moved and a commissioner seconded to introduce bond ordinance 2025-004, described in the meeting as a “bond ordinance authorizing supplemental funding for the construction of improvements to the Camp Kearney Dam structure and spillway,” appropriating $3,400,000 and authorizing bonds or notes of the county to finance part of the cost. The motion carried on roll call with Deputy Director Austin, Commissioner Timmerman, Commissioner Taylor, Commissioner Ramsey and Director Lawrie recorded as voting yes; the board set a public hearing and adoption for Aug. 6 at 4 p.m.
The board then introduced bond ordinance 2025-005, described in the meeting as a bond ordinance “providing for the acquisition of certain real property improvements thereto and equipment, therefore, for use as an item shelter” and appropriating $2,000,000 while authorizing $1,900,000 in bonds or notes to finance part of the cost. A motion to introduce that ordinance also passed on roll call with the same affirmative votes recorded; its public hearing and adoption are likewise scheduled for Aug. 6 at 4 p.m.
No substantive debate on ordinance particulars appears in the transcript; commissioners handled the ordinances as part of the meeting’s business agenda and directed that public hearings be held on the scheduled date.
