At its May 14 session, the Yamhill County Board of Commissioners approved a series of consent and contract items by unanimous vote.
Consent agenda: The board approved minutes and appointments to the Habitat Conservation Plan Committee. The chair called for the ayes and the motion passed unanimously.
Marine Board maintenance grant (I-1): The board approved an intergovernmental agreement with the Oregon State Marine Board (2025-27 MAG70) to fund maintenance at Dayton, Edgar, and Rogers landings for $37,150 with a required 40% local match, retroactive to July 1, 2025.
