Clackamas County adopts $1.8 million supplemental budget and clears extensive consent agendas
Summary
The board approved a supplemental budget resolution increasing appropriations by about $1.8 million and approved a broad consent agenda including Criminal Justice Commission grants, intergovernmental agreements, and large Water Environment Services contracts.
The Clackamas County Board of Commissioners on March 5 approved a supplemental budget resolution that increases appropriations for FY 2025–26 by approximately $1,797,361 and cleared a large consent agenda covering grants, contracts and intergovernmental agreements.
Finance Director Elizabeth Comfort explained the quarter-three adjustments and the legal requirement for a supplemental resolution under Oregon budget law (ORS 294). Notable changes include a District Attorney grant recognition (~$97,000), an inmate-welfare special-fund beginning balance (~$152,216), transfers supporting a tax-title land settlement, and a technology-services increase (~$94,835) tied to Oracle contract work. Commissioners moved and unanimously approved the supplemental resolution (4–0).
The board also approved a lengthy consent agenda that included a $1,283,630 grant from the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission for a Behavioral Health Deflection Program (21 months), multiple intergovernmental agreements to reimburse cities for retail-crime investigations, and several human-services contracts funded by Metro and state sources. The board convened and approved related consent agendas for the North Clackamas Parks & Recreation District (Ride Connection agreement, $7,000) and the Water Environment Services board (including a $2.97 million Creative Contracting construction contract) by unanimous votes.
Why it matters: The supplemental budget addresses midyear adjustments across public safety, housing, transportation and technology priorities and authorizes contract spending that carries programmatic commitments in criminal justice, housing and water infrastructure.
What’s next: The housing-authority annual plan (introduced this meeting) will return for final approval at a future business meeting; staff will implement contract and grant terms per the approved resolutions and agreements.
