Summary

Coos County commissioners approved the fourth amendment to an intergovernmental agreement with the Oregon Health Authority, adding approximately $87,000 to cover underpaid public-health communicable-disease program funds; Department Head Mike Raley was authorized to sign.

Coos County commissioners voted to approve the fourth amendment to an intergovernmental agreement with the Oregon Health Authority, adding about $87,000 to the county’s communicable disease program budget and authorizing Department Head Mike Raley to sign the agreement.

The funding increase, described by a county presenter as "public health funding" that the state "hadn't paid us the full amount, so this is kind of them catching up," was presented as a reconciliation of prior payments rather than a new program expansion.

The motion to approve the IGA (identified in the discussion as 185806-4) was moved and seconded and passed on a voice vote. No separate fiscal schedule or effective date was read into the public record during the motion.

County staff did not provide a line-item breakdown in the meeting beyond saying the funds were primarily for the communicable disease program. The board’s action authorizes the department head to execute the amendment; staff follow-up would be required to publish the executed agreement and any consequent changes to program expenditures.

The board immediately moved to the next agenda items after the voice vote.
