The Clackamas County Board of Commissioners approved a multi-item consent agenda and, while convened as the Water Environment Services (WES) Board of Directors, adopted a capital improvement plan that covers fiscal years 2025–2030 with total program costs estimated at $243,500,000.
County consent items read into the record by the clerk included intergovernmental agreements, grants and multiple purchase orders. Notable items on the county consent agenda included:

Commissioner Savas moved to approve the consent agenda and Commissioner Fireside seconded. The board approved the consent agenda on a 5-0 roll call vote.
While convened as the WES board, the clerk read two WES consent items: a four-year debt finance services contract with Piper Sandler and Company (value: $200,000) and adoption of the WES capital improvement plan for FY2025–2030 with total costs of $243,500,000. Funding for the WES capital program was described as sanitary sewer and surface water fund reserves, user charges, system development charges and future borrowings; no county general funds were identified for those items.
The WES consent agenda was moved by Director Fireside and seconded by Director West. The board approved the WES consent items on a 4-1 roll call vote, with Director Savas recorded as voting no and stating he was voting no for reasons he had stated during a prior work session. The clerk and chair later clarified the tally as 4-1 (motion approved).
No further discussion or amendments were made on either consent agenda. The approved items proceed as authorized and will be implemented by the responsible departments with the stated funding sources.
