Jackson County endorses NACo resolutions on ESA and seeks support for delisting gray wolf; board votes to forward both measures
Summary
The board approved forwarding two National Association of Counties resolutions — one on the Endangered Species Act and a second, amended proposal asking NACo to consider gray-wolf delisting. Commissioners voted by voice to send both items forward after brief edits and a pledge to include supporting documentation.
The board reviewed two draft National Association of Counties (NACo) resolutions. The first, addressing the Endangered Species Act, carried forward previous language with minor drafting tweaks and staff noted it would proceed through NACo's public-lands committee. "I'll move to approve. Sending this to NECCO, and our board backs it," a commissioner said during the motion to forward the resolution.
A second resolution proposed requesting delisting of the gray wolf; commissioners debated whether to include university-backed economic evidence and ODFW population counts in the background section. Staff said they had assembled multiple studies and would provide supporting documents for NACo members and suggested using a succinct one-page policy statement with attached citations. A motion was made and seconded to submit the amended wolf-delisting proposal; the board recorded voice votes in favor (Commissioner Roberts — Yes; Commissioner Sparacino — Yes; Commissioner Dyer — Yes). Staff will transmit both items to NACo and follow its committee review process.
