Board approves annual property-use license for OSU ATV safety youth classes
Summary
The commissioners approved a recurring property-use agreement with Oregon State University to host youth ATV safety and hands-on training classes at county facilities; the classes meet state requirements for under‑16 operators.
The Board of Commissioners approved a property-use license allowing Oregon State University to host youth all-terrain-vehicle safety classes at county training sites. County staff said the program is an annual renewal and supplies hands-on training for youths under age 16 to meet Oregon requirements for operating ATVs on public lands.
Sheriff’s office staff and volunteer instructors described a long-running partnership to deliver classes and said the program typically schedules classes on Saturdays and draws students from the region. Instructors are volunteers and the classes are administered through OSU’s program; staff said attendance has declined from peak levels but the program remains active and provides necessary safety certifications.
A motion to approve the property-use agreement was moved, seconded and approved by the board.
Why it matters: the program supplies hands-on safety training required by state rules for youth operators and uses county training sites; approval ensures continuity of training opportunities in the county.
Next steps: county staff will finalize the license for OSU and coordinate dates and site use for upcoming classes.
