Commissioner reports management-plan amendment to ease rebuilding after fires
Summary
A Columbia River Gorge Commission member told the council the commission passed a management-plan amendment intended to make it easier for landowners burned in the Berdoyne and Rowena fires to rebuild, and noted tribal involvement in the deliberations.
During open public comment, Roger, identified as a member of the Columbia River Gorge Commission, reported that the commission passed a management-plan amendment to simplify rebuilding for properties burned in the Berdoyne and Rowena fires. Roger said the process took longer than he expected because tribal parties sought greater input; he framed the remarks as his personal view and not a statement on behalf of Wasco County.
Roger said the commission had been ready to vote earlier but held additional meetings to accommodate tribal concerns. He did not specify implementation timelines or which properties would be eligible under the amendment. The council recorded the comment and moved to adjourn the meeting.
