Coos County approves state public-health IGA amendment and $39,650 sewer contract, adopts paid-holiday list
Summary
The Coos County Board approved a roughly $87,000 increase to a state intergovernmental agreement for communicable disease work, authorized a $39,650 contract for a Powers Park sewer-line replacement, adopted the 2026 paid-holiday schedule and approved the consent calendar.
The Coos County Board of Commissioners approved a fourth amendment to a state intergovernmental agreement that increases public-health funding by about $87,000, authorized a $39,650 contract to repair a failing sewer line at Powers Park and adopted the county’s 2026 paid-holiday list during a short meeting on a regularly scheduled day.
An unidentified county presenter described the intergovernmental agreement amendment as funding “mainly for our communicable disease program” and said the state had not previously paid the full amount; an unidentified commissioner moved to approve the agreement and authorized department head Mike Riley to sign. The motion was seconded and approved.
Park staff explained that an approximately 600-foot, 8-inch ceramic sewer line serving the large “blue shelter” restroom at Powers Park had multiple cracks and root intrusion. The presenter said Tri County Plumbing proposed to install a new 4-inch pipe pulled through the existing 8-inch line, a less-invasive approach than full trenching. The board approved a $39,650 contract with Tri County Plumbing. One commissioner expressed concern about potential overruns but staff said the work was included in the capital line item.
The board also approved the county’s 2026 paid-holiday list after HR staff asked commissioners to adopt the schedule, and it approved the consent calendar without recorded objections.
