Marion County approves consent agenda including two temporary Justice of the Peace appointments, tourism grant program and chip-seal contract
Summary
The Marion County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a consent agenda March 25 that appointed two Justice of the Peace pro tempore, created a county tourism grant program, and authorized a chip-seal aggregate contract not to exceed $345,280.
The Marion County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved its consent agenda on March 25, 2026, enacting several administrative and procurement actions that county staff said would support operations and local economic development.
The consent items approved included a sole-source procurement for ongoing support and maintenance of the Oregon Counties Assessment and Taxation System (ORCATS); orders appointing Rachael Federico and Jarrod Howard as Justice of the Peace Pro Tempore for the Marion County Justice of the Peace District with terms beginning March 25, 2026 and ending March 25, 2027; appointment of Mark Lowery to the Materials Management Advisory Council as a community organization representative through March 25, 2030; adoption of a resolution establishing the Marion County Community and Economic Development Tourism Grant Program; and approval of a contract with North Santiam Paving Company for supply and delivery of aggregate for the 2026 Marion County chip-seal program in a not-to-exceed amount of $345,280 through Dec. 31, 2026.
Commissioner Danielle Bethell moved for approval of the consent agenda; Commissioner Kevin Cameron seconded the motion, and Commissioners Bethell, Cameron and Colm Willis voted aye. County staff recorded the motion as carried unanimously.
The tourism grant program was described in the consent item as intended “for the benefit of residents and the economic development of Marion County”; the resolution establishing the program was adopted as part of the consent package. The ORCATS procurement was listed as sole source for continuing assessment and taxation system support; no further procurement detail was provided in the meeting record.
The board’s recorded action resolves the listed appointments and authorizes the chip-seal aggregate contract; the consent motion did not include additional conditions or separate public discussion at the March 25 session.
