Summary
At its Oct. 16 meeting the Crook County Board approved the consent agenda, authorized a $49,301.17 fairgrounds pickup purchase, adopted budget resolution Order 2024‑44, approved a thank‑you letter to the Giving Plate, and recorded motions from executive session to remove a recruitment participant and direct staff.
The Crook County Board of Commissioners recorded several formal actions Oct. 16. Key outcomes:
- Consent agenda: A commissioner moved to approve the consent agenda “as presented”; the board voiced aye and the consent agenda was adopted.
- Fairgrounds vehicle purchase: The board approved replacing a 2007 pickup with a Kendall Ford vehicle and accepted a bid of $49,301.17. Fairgrounds staff had presented three bids and recommended the Kendall Ford option for service convenience and to restore towing capability.
- Budget resolution (Order 2024‑44): Jamie Berger, budget manager, presented a budget resolution that recognizes additional taxable assessed value and moves approximately $117,000 in additional property‑tax revenue into the sheriff’s office fund contingency while pulling back some personnel appropriations; commissioners approved the resolution after opening and closing a public hearing with no comments.
- Giving Plate recognition: The board approved signing a letter thanking the Giving Plate program for expanding service to Crook County and authorized sending the letter.
- Executive-session directions and recruitment change: After an executive session under ORS provisions related to real property, employment and legal matters, the board recorded motions to remove Will Ben Baxter from the county manager recruitment process and to have county counsel John Isler coordinate the recruitment with consultants; the board also moved and approved motions directing staff to proceed as discussed in executive session.
Where the transcript records only voice votes, the board’s approvals were recorded by voice; the transcript does not include a roll‑call tally in most cases. No contested final votes were recorded on these items at the Oct. 16 meeting.
