Board approves FY26–27 budget and a package of routine orders and agreements
Summary
In a single session the board adopted the FY26–27 budget, approved policy updates and contract amendments, ratified a bargaining agreement, and approved several intergovernmental and funding actions; most votes passed unanimously by voice vote.
The Yamhill County Board of Commissioners used its June 18 session to adopt the fiscal year 2026–27 budget and to approve a set of routine orders, contract amendments and agreements.
Key actions approved by unanimous voice votes include: - Adoption of Resolution 26‑06‑18‑1, establishing the FY26–27 county budget, appropriations and tax levies. - Amendment No. 8 to Agreement No. 185833 with the Oregon Health Authority to increase public‑health funds by $329,974 to support two family health navigator positions for Sheridan and Dayton schools. - Amendment to the Summit Food Services agreement to implement a 3% rate increase effective July 1, 2026, and extend specified terms through June 30, 2031. - Adoption of an update to the county’s tax‑foreclosed property management and disposition policy to conform with House Bill 2089, including clarified auction sequencing and state treasurer handling of surplus proceeds. - Board order opting in to limited liability for recreational trail uses pursuant to state law (housekeeping action implementing Senate Bill 179). - Intergovernmental agreement with Marion County (Board Order 03‑0922) to fund 20% of ferry operations, maintenance and capital costs effective July 1, 2026. - Transfer appropriation to the jail maintenance fund to account for insurance reimbursement of approximately $90,000 in claims. - Ratification of a collective bargaining agreement with Yamhill County Sergeants/Teamsters Local 223 effective through June 30, 2027.
Commissioners thanked staff and department leads for the work completing the budget and contract negotiations. The board did not record roll‑call vote counts in the meeting audio but recorded unanimous passage on voice vote for these items; the meeting record shows each motion passing with an "aye" call from the board.
Next steps: Staff will implement the budget, execute amended contracts and monitor grants and reimbursements as required; the county will return to the board if further action is needed on any award conditions or program changes.
