A resident (unnamed in the record) urged the board to allocate budget money to fix sewage dumping into the Middle Fork of the Willamette River by Oak Ridge, and raised broad concerns about County payroll levels, citing an estimate that about 302 county employees earn at least $100,000 and urging belt‑tightening. The speaker also questioned past contracting decisions for the navigation center and urged preference for local contractors.
