Klamath County commissioners met June 9, 2026, and unanimously approved a series of supplemental budget resolutions, contracts and intergovernmental agreements and set a hearing date for a proposed annexation.
The board approved six supplemental budget resolutions presented by Treasurer Vickie Noel to adjust county appropriations across several funds, including the District Attorney’s general fund and specialty courts (BR2026-020), the COVID-19 Pandemic Grant Fund and General Fund Reserve (BR2026-021), the General Fund (BR2026-022), the Clerk’s sub-department (BR2026-024), Internal Services Human Resources (BR2026-025) and the Public Health Fund (BR2026-026).

Jennifer Little, representing Klamath County Public Health, presented Amendment No. 8 to Intergovernmental Agreement #185817 with the Oregon Health Authority for public health services; the board amended the motions to reflect the fiscal impact in sub-department 4039 and approved the amendment unanimously. The minutes record the fiscal-impact assignment to sub-department 4039 but do not specify an appropriation amount.
