Residents raise health-clinic opposition, geology and insurance concerns during Josephine County public comment
Summary
Three Josephine County residents used the public-comment period to congratulate primary winners, oppose health clinics, raise concerns about local Pipe-fork geology and streams, and describe difficulties obtaining commercial fire insurance affecting business expansion.
Three members of the public addressed the Board of County Commissioners during the May 20, 2026 public-comment period, raising distinct local concerns.
Judy Aherns of Josephine County offered congratulations to those who won primary elections and expressed opposition to health clinics in the county. Chaz Rogers, also of Josephine County, raised concerns related to Pipe-fork geology and local streams, signaling environmental or land-use anxieties. Curtis Peirce, a Josephine County business owner and manufacturer of landscaping tools, said he is seeking to expand his business but has encountered problems obtaining commercial fire insurance and cannot qualify for the Oregon FAIR Plan.
The Board acknowledged the comments during the public-comment review; the minutes record that the Board addressed public comments but do not show any formal action taken in response during this session.
