Polk County conducts first reading of ordinance to establish county accountant and appoint Caitlin D'Agostini
Summary
At the Jan. 29, 2025 meeting the Polk County Board of Commissioners conducted the first reading of Ordinance 25‑01 to create the office of county accountant and appoint Caitlin D'Agostini; the ordinance requires a $20,000 bond and compliance with ORS chapter 210 and ORS 210.12.
The Polk County Board of Commissioners conducted the first reading of Ordinance 25‑01 on Jan. 29, 2025. The ordinance, introduced under ORS 210.01, would establish the office of county accountant and appoint Caitlin D'Agostini to that post.
The ordinance text read into the record cites ORS 210.01 as the enabling statute and states that D'Agostini must “qualify for this position pursuant to the requirements of ORS 210.12 by executing a bond of the sum of $20,000” and by taking an oath of office with the Polk County Clerk within 30 days of the ordinance's effective date. The ordinance assigns the duties of the office to those set out in ORS chapter 210 and contains a severability clause preserving other sections if part is held unlawful.
The reading concluded as the first reading; no adoption vote was recorded during the meeting. Commissioners asked no recorded questions after the first reading and the board moved on to other business. Because this was the ordinance's first reading, the appointment is not yet final and the ordinance will require further action at a subsequent meeting to be adopted.
No formal vote on the ordinance's adoption was taken at the Jan. 29 meeting. The text read into the record will form the basis for subsequent readings and any final vote required by the board.
