Josephine County approves two annexations to Josephine Community Library District
Summary
The Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved two landowner petitions to annex a 4.62-acre parcel (Harris) and a 45.04-acre parcel (Gosenski Hobbins Living Trust) into the Josephine Community Library District, recorded as Board Orders 2026-016 and 2026-017.
The Josephine County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously May 6 to approve two landowner petitions to annex parcels into the Josephine Community Library District.
Commissioner Colene Martin moved to approve Board Order 2026-016, a 4.62-acre petition by Paul and Stefan Harris; Commissioner Gary Richardson seconded. The board then approved Board Order 2026-017, a 45.04-acre petition by the Gosenski Hobbins Living Trust, also on a motion by Martin and a second by Richardson. In both roll-call votes, Commissioners Richardson and Martin and Chair Ron Smith voted yes and the minutes record the outcome as “Motion carried 3-0.”
The two annexations were presented during a public hearing the board opened for testimony; no members of the public provided testimony on those petitions. The minutes list the petitioners and assessor tax-lot information for both approvals.
The decisions add the specified parcels to the Josephine Community Library District service area; the minutes do not record any conditions, appeals, or immediate changes to service or taxation in the text provided. The board did not record further debate on service impacts or tax implications in the minutes available.
The board’s vote on the annexations was taken during the weekly business session convened at the Anne Basker Auditorium. The meeting record shows the motions and roll-call votes but does not specify subsequent implementation steps or effective dates for the annexations.
The board adjourned the weekly business session at 9:24 a.m.
