Loading...
Summary
The Clackamas County Board of Commissioners approved two Canby Ferry fee waivers, authorized a letter of support for a City of Sandy transit facility grant, and confirmed three advisory‑board appointments during its March 31 administrative session.
Chair Roberts called the March 31 administrative meeting to order and the board moved quickly through several routine items.
Dan Johnson, director of Transportation and Development, described two one‑time Canby Ferry fee waivers: one for the Ride and Roll motorcycle charity supporting the Mad Dog Watts Veterans Foundation and one for third‑grade field trips from the Camby School District. Staff said the requested crossings would have minimal impact at the proposed times. Commissioner Savas moved to approve the waivers; Commissioner Helm seconded. The motion passed 3–0.
Philip Mason Joyner, deputy director of Health, Housing and Human Services, asked the board to authorize Chair Roberts to sign a letter of support for the City of Sandy’s competitive grant application to help complete a $4.1 million transit maintenance and operations building; Joyner said the city has secured $1.2 million so far. Commissioner Savas moved and Commissioner Helm seconded; the board approved the letter 3–0.
The board also considered several advisory‑board recommendations from staff. The board reappointed Yvonne Smith and Jeanue Knox to the Public Health Advisory Council (terms through April 2029), appointed Henry Epstein to the Milwaukee Community Center advisory board (term through March 2029), and appointed Glenn Wachner to the Local Public Safety Coordinating Council (term through March 2030). Each appointment was moved, seconded and approved unanimously.
The chair recessed the administrative session and the board planned to reconvene at 1:30 p.m. for policy items.
