Commissioners table campground project after sewer variance denial
Summary
After learning a sewer variance for a proposed campground was denied, Sherman County commissioners discussed options and agreed to table the project unless greater demand emerges. The board also approved an executive session on personnel and scheduled a joint meeting with the city.
Commissioners discussed a proposed campground and reported that an expected sewer variance had been denied. Speaker 4 said options included submitting an additional variance requesting a single dump station or routing plumbing to existing hookups, but concerns about significant expense and competition with other local campgrounds led the group to pause the project.
Speaker 2 summarized the group's position: unless there is a larger demonstrated need for campers in the community, the county will drop the campground project for now. Speaker 3 and others agreed; no new financing or formal follow-up was adopted during the meeting.
Separately, commissioners moved into an executive session for non-elected personnel for 20 minutes (moved by Speaker 2, seconded by Speaker 3) and voted to approve the session. They also scheduled a joint meeting with the city for next Monday at 5 p.m. at the city building, during the city's regular meeting, and asked staff to email a reminder.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn and confirmation of the next meeting date and time.
