Lake County approves amendment to Oregon Health Authority agreement to restore 2026 public-health funds
Summary
The Lake County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a fourth amendment to its Oregon Health Authority intergovernmental agreement, reallocating several 2026 funding lines—most of the increase will go to staff salaries, the county said.
The Lake County Board of Commissioners on Nov. 13 approved the Fourth Amendment to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) 2025–2027 Intergovernmental Agreement for the Financing of Public Health Services (#185818-4), reallocating funds into fiscal-year-2026 budget lines and restoring previously reduced amounts.
Commissioners' Assistant Tina Burneikis presented the amendment, explaining that PE01-01 and PE12-01 increases were for fiscal year 2026 funds, PE01-09 represented a rollover of unspent fiscal year 2025 funds, and that "the majority of the funds would go toward salary," she said. Commissioner James Williams moved to approve the amendment; Vice-Chair Barry Shullanberger seconded. The motion carried on a 3–0 vote.
The board did not record additional detail in the minutes about specific dollar amounts in each PE line. Burneikis characterized the PE12-01 change as reallocating funds that had been removed in a prior amendment.
