Summary

The board approved $150,000 in economic development grants and $100,000 in tourism grants to local recipients and approved Amendment 1 to an IGA with Lake County to reduce the South Central Oregon Economic Development District board to 11 members (one commissioner abstained).

Grants manager John Beatty presented final contracts for tourism and economic-development grant cycles. The board approved a slate of recipients, with $150,000 allocated from economic-development funds and $100,000 from tourism competitive grant funds. Named recipients in the transcript include Discover Klamath, Klamath Music, Oregon Tech Foundation, Town of Bonanza, Klamath Trails Alliance and others; the board approved the slate by voice vote.

The board also considered Amendment 1 to an intergovernmental agreement with Lake County to change the composition of the South Central Oregon Economic Development District (SC OEDD) board. The amendment reduces membership to 11 persons intended to be broadly representative of principal economic interests in Klamath and Lake counties. One commissioner abstained from the vote citing nonparticipation in the process; remaining commissioners voted aye and the motion passed.

Both items were presented as routine approvals to formalize previously vetted committee recommendations and regional coordination adjustments.
