Lake County opens hearing on repeal of ordinance that codified sheriff’s fees
Summary
Lake County commissioners opened a public hearing March 5 on a proposal to repeal Ordinance 52.120 so sheriff’s office fees — which are set by the State of Oregon — can be maintained as a county fee schedule updated by resolution; no vote was taken.
Vice-Chair Barry Shullanberger opened a public hearing March 5 on a proposal to repeal Lake County Ordinance 52.120, which currently codifies fees charged by the sheriff’s office. Sheriff's Office Administrative Assistant Heather Eversole told the board the sheriff’s fees are determined by the State of Oregon and therefore do not need to be set by county ordinance. She said the sheriff’s office is requesting the change so that fees can be maintained as a fee schedule that the county could update by resolution rather than through ordinance amendments that require two public hearings.
Shullanberger asked whether any of the listed fees were set locally; Eversole confirmed they were not. No final action or vote was recorded during the March 5 session; the hearing was opened and then closed during the same meeting. Eversole noted that state-determined fees and the county’s process for changing ordinances require additional public hearings if the ordinance were to be amended, which frames the next procedural steps for the proposal.
The public hearing was closed at 10:05 a.m., and the board adjourned. The record does not indicate whether a date was set for a subsequent hearing or vote.
