The Klamath County Board of Commissioners voted on Nov. 17 to settle the case Bison v. Klamath County by paying interest at the legal rate on the balance due through the date of the signed agreement; the meeting was brief and the motion passed by voice vote.
On Nov. 17 the Klamath County Board of Commissioners voted to approve settlement terms in the case Bison v. Klamath County, agreeing to pay interest at the legal rate on the balance due through the date the agreement is signed.
"I'd make a motion that we settle for interest at the legal rate there on the balance due, through that date," the presiding speaker said when presenting the single agenda item. The speaker clarified they did not know the exact date but said the endpoint would be "the date of the signed agreement." The speaker confirmed there was a motion and a second.
The board conducted a voice vote. The presiding officer asked, "All those in favor signify by saying aye." Several voices responded, "Aye," and the chair also voiced "aye." The presiding speaker announced that the motion passed. The transcript does not record a numerical roll-call or a written tally; names of individual yes/no votes beyond the chair are not specified.
Commissioner Minty was noted as out of the office and did not participate. No other debate, amendments, or additional terms were recorded in the transcript. With the settlement motion approved and no further business, the presiding officer adjourned the meeting.
The action recorded on the transcript is limited to the motion’s text, the voice vote and the passage of the motion; the precise effective date for calculating interest is the date of the signed agreement (not specified in the transcript).
