Board approves series of routine administrative items, sets second hearing on nuisance-code changes
Summary
Commissioners unanimously approved multiple administrative motions — a liquor-license recommendation to OLCC, an access permit for Hurson family access across county property, the appointment of Jesse McClung to the Midland Community Park District Board, and a cooperating-agency MOU with the BLM — and opened a public hearing on proposed ordinance 36.09 with a second hearing set for June 2, 2026.
At its May 19 meeting the Klamath County Board of Commissioners approved a slate of routine administrative items and set a second public hearing on proposed ordinance 36.09.
Actions approved unanimously included: a recommendation to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission that Trading Post Market met conditions to sell liquor (county action is advisory only); designation of the chair to sign an access permit allowing Rick, Julia, Paco and Oren Hurson to cross county-owned property on Spence Mountain; and appointment of Jesse McClung to the Midland Community Park District Board to fill a vacancy under ORS 198.320. The board also approved a memorandum of understanding (BLM 0R9302607) establishing a cooperating agency relationship with the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington State Office for resource management plan revisions and environmental review. Commissioners referenced previous actions that named Commissioner DeGroot delegate and Doug Robertson as alternate for the cooperating-agency role.
The board opened the first public hearing on proposed ordinance 36.09 — changes to Klamath County Code section 401.020 (nuisance control) covering abandoned or inoperable vehicles, dead or decaying trees and limbs, and uncontrolled vegetation — and received no public testimony. The hearing record was left open for a second hearing scheduled June 2, 2026 at 1:15 p.m. County staff noted a publication cost of $160.75 to the Herald and News for the hearing notice.
