Summary
Boarders approved publishing a proposed policy for the East County Public Safety District on the county website and agreed to notify the sheriff for review; the item is time-sensitive ahead of an upcoming election.
Klamath CountyLegal & Human Resources meeting on May 14, 2025
The board agreed by consensus to publish a draft policy for the East County Public Safety District that will appear on the county website and serve as the foundational document for bylaws if the ballot measure passes. The board asked staff to notify the sheriff and allow a brief period for comment before final release, but emphasized time is of the essence because this is the last meeting before the election.
A board member thanked staff for preparing a detailed draft and said the document should be posted to county social media channels and the website. Another member suggested sending the draft to the sheriff as a courtesy and pausing publication only if the sheriff raises substantive concerns. Staff indicated they would text and email the sheriff to alert him that the policy would be published by the end of the day unless he asks to delay.
The board did not record a formal roll-call vote; the action was taken by consensus and the board directed staff to publish the document and prepare a press release announcing its availability online.
Ending
Staff will publish the draft policy for the East County Public Safety District on the county website and notify the sheriff's office for review; the board noted the measure is on the upcoming ballot and time is limited for comment.
