Bonanza resident asks Klamath County for cleanup help and market support; staff offers follow-up on fee waiver
Summary
A Bonanza-area resident who identified herself as Willow asked commissioners for help organizing a Blue/Blythe Mountain cleanup and asked about county support or fee waivers for residents in unincorporated Bonanza; staff offered to follow up with application details.
During public comment, Willow (who identified herself only by first name and described working with a nonprofit community market) asked commissioners to help coordinate or fund a cleanup of Blue (Blythe) Mountain and asked how unincorporated Bonanza property owners could access services the nearby city had provided.
Willow said she and her husband are licensed, bonded and insured in construction and offered to provide trailers, a truck and labor. She described helping elderly residents and asked the county for information on grants and the possibility of a fee waiver. "I'm willing to donate my time and labor and supplies that we have, but I do need help," she said.
County staff offered to collect Willow’s email and provide the fee-waiver application and follow-up; staff also suggested applying for a fee waiver to reduce barriers to organizing the cleanup. Willow also promoted an upcoming community market and noted the Bonanza Farmers Market will accept EBT and participate in a double-up program that matches EBT purchases.
No formal board action was taken; staff and the commenter agreed to continue the conversation after the meeting.
