Klamath County commissioners fail to adopt proposed nuisance-control changes in 2–1 vote
Summary
At a June 2 public hearing, the Klamath County Board of Commissioners considered Ordinance 36.09 to amend nuisance-control rules; a citizen raised concerns about covering an abandoned vehicle and two commissioners said they needed more information. Commissioner Minty’s motion to adopt failed 1–2.
The Klamath County Board of Commissioners considered Ordinance 36.09, a proposed amendment to County Code section 401.020 on nuisance control, during a time-certain second public hearing on June 2, 2026.
Commissioner Minty opened the hearing at 1:15 p.m. and asked for comments in favor, neutral and against. A citizen in attendance raised concerns about how the ordinance would apply to covering an abandoned vehicle; the transcript records the citizen’s concern but does not include a verbatim quote.
During discussion, Commissioners Nichols and DeGroot said they wanted more information on the reasons for the proposed changes to the nuisance code. After that exchange, Commissioner Minty moved to adopt Ordinance 36.09; Commissioner DeGroot seconded the motion as recorded. Commissioner Minty voted in favor, while Commissioners Nichols and DeGroot voted opposed, and the motion failed.
The minutes do not specify the ordinance’s text changes, fiscal impacts, or an immediate staff follow-up timeline. The board did not record a subsequent vote to table the item or set a date for additional study in the meeting minutes.
Because the motion failed, Ordinance 36.09 was not adopted at this meeting. No further action or a next hearing date is listed in the minutes of June 2; if the board seeks to revisit the ordinance it would need to place the matter on a future agenda.
