Klamath County commissioners approve invoices, contracts, appointments and intergovernmental agreements
Summary
At a Jan. 28 meeting the Klamath County Board of Commissioners approved multiple procurement actions, a special-district appointment, a justice-court intergovernmental agreement and a tourism-grant amendment; fiscal impacts and revenue sources were noted where provided.
Klamath County's Board of Commissioners on Jan. 28 approved a series of procurement and administrative actions, including a code-enforcement abatement invoice, two title-search contracts, a county contract to provide road services to a city, a tourism-grant extension and an intergovernmental agreement for justice-court services for the Town of Bonanza.
The actions were taken by recorded voice vote during the meeting; in each instance the chair and present commissioners signaled approval and the motions passed.
Among the approvals, the board accepted an invoice from vendor American Made for cleanup and abatement work at 9453 Hill Road. The item summary presented at the meeting said American Made had been the low bidder at $9,900 and that the final invoice reflected higher landfill fees due to wet conditions; the amount recorded in the meeting was $11,244.44, to be paid from the violation reserve fund for the code-enforcement department.
The board accepted a quote from First American Title Company to perform lot-by-lot lock-book searches for properties moving toward foreclosure, with a fiscal impact described in the meeting as approximately $30,500 to be paid from the County Property Sales Trust/Agency Fund (GL ending 62,205). The board then separately approved the actual contract with First American Title Insurance Company for those services and authorized the county tax collector to sign the contract; the 2025 fiscal impact was again described as approximately $30,500.
The board approved an agreement with a municipal customer for the county road department to perform construction services on that city's roads; meeting materials and the motion described revenue of up to $230,100 to the Road Department operating budget for the work, with the municipality repaying the county for services.
Commissioners approved Amendment 1 to the tourism-grant agreement with Klamath Grown Incorporated, described in the meeting as an extension with no fiscal impact to the county. The board also approved an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) allowing the county's justice court to serve as the court system for the Town of Bonanza; the meeting record said expense and revenue would be determined by violations adjudicated under the arrangement.
The board signed an order appointing Liliana Chibaldi to the Valley Acres Special Road District Board to fill a vacancy; the appointment was described as having no fiscal impact.
