Commissioners approve request to extend CBDC grama work plan
Summary
Columbia County commissioners approved a motion to extend the work plan for the 'CBDC grama' after a county presenter cited staffing transition issues and a supporting letter from Erin Emerick. Staff said Business Oregon must later approve and implement changes.
A county presenter told Columbia County commissioners that a letter from Erin Emerick asked for more time to complete the proposed work plan for the “CBDC grama,” citing a recent coordinator change and transition issues. The presenter asked the board to print the letter and consider extending the project timeline.
Commissioners clarified that the county’s role was to agree to an extension and that Business Oregon (the CDBG administrator named in the discussion) would have to approve and make any subsequent action changes. One commissioner said there was no apparent county liability in granting the extension.
The meeting record contains a motion identified as “Request to extend the work plan.” A voice vote followed and at least one commissioner recorded “Aye.” The transcript does not include a full roll-call tally in this segment; staff said that once Business Oregon returns approval, staff will implement the action changes requested.
Next steps: staff will follow up with Business Oregon and implement changes if the agency approves the extended work plan. The county presenter noted the extension request and supporting letter from Erin Emerick had been submitted to commissioners prior to the meeting.
