County staff described an annual joint funding agreement with the U.S. Geological Survey/Department of the Interior to maintain stream gauges that provide local river‑level information for public safety and resource management. The board approved the joint funding agreement in the amount of $13,750.

Separately, commissioners approved a $5,000 contribution from the county’s economic-development fund to help host the Oregon Coast Economic Summit, a multi‑county event organized by the coastal caucus of state legislators that is being held in Coos County for the first time. Commissioners discussed available fund balances and whether the use aligned with permitted economic-development spending; staff said approximately $260,000 remained in the fund to use for such items. The motion to contribute $5,000 passed by voice vote.

Why it matters: The stream gauges provide real‑time flow data used to warn recreationists and downstream communities; the economic‑summit contribution funds local hosting and seeks to build goodwill with coastal legislators.

Ending: Both motions passed by voice vote and were recorded on the meeting minutes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","BOC meeting - August 19, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved a $13,750 joint‑funding agreement for stream gauges with the DOI/USGS and a $5,000 contribution from the economic development fund to help host the Oregon Coast Economic Summit in Coos County.","taxTitle","Coos County, Oregon","taxId",53917,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6477278,"Coos County approves $52,950 purchase of incinerator for humane disposal and revenue potential",104,716000,820000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5711863-aae9db55f1b1e716597710936b704eb4&start=716&end=820","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5711863-aae9db55f1b1e716597710936b704eb4/thumbnail_716000.jpg","/articles/6477278/Coos-County/Oregon/Coos-County-approves-52950-purchase-of-incinerator-for-humane-disposal-and-revenue-potential","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6477278-69f5c9a7c86f39cfaa267b3c301e92c6/orig.mp4?Expires=1770810450&Signature=eF8KW8vKIXYuZViCEQD2dYorsE9B7llIPj7t3NSPCgTIPd1OBcUT0go5LAlPp4gdhZTNK850t-RJTYbH2gKz4psfXn9WulRCgvpnBzS5MYboqR4SmSKmciYzjqZMxdypa74NjNiaWBbEKABhv7RFGSWQKhBqZ6fxTNDfwMUvY0hUmbyh622VcWtSWN82A~R-R2Hir8zdRwe7me34ymNqbAULpM4XE75ovGWku8Aig7wGbJpJJqeygut-BMp0I-RR02KSAJqNh1H8tKj4uAP6E1c5qvtDxHMkSBklBmxikvir6gHJJoecRoGFiq8Zy7G--SeGODLdS-4aVPiWTTpthw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Coos County commissioners approved the Sheriff’s request to purchase an incinerator for $52,950, funded from previously obligated ARP funds.

The sheriff (unnamed in the transcript) described a DEQ approval process that produced an exception for law‑enforcement use and confirmed the county can now acquire an Echo 1,500 incinerator. Commissioners discussed the public‑service implications: the unit will allow local disposal of deceased animals and other items that previously required transport to Brooks or Tacoma. The sheriff said the county may be able to market the service to other jurisdictions and recoup costs in the future.

A motion to approve the expenditure passed by voice vote.

Why it matters: The equipment will let the county perform some disposals locally, reduce transportation to distant facilities, and may create a modest revenue stream if the county charges other agencies for use.

Ending: The board approved the purchase and discussion moved to follow‑up questions about exhaust routing and permitting, which staff declined to detail in open session.","The board approved the sheriff’s request to buy an incinerator for $52,950 using allocated ARP funds to provide local disposal services and potential revenue by serving neighboring jurisdictions.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6477283,"Commissioners approve Beaver Hill change orders, authorize temporary pit area and roof‑replacement related work",304,202000,506000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5711863-aae9db55f1b1e716597710936b704eb4&start=202&end=506","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5711863-aae9db55f1b1e716597710936b704eb4/thumbnail_202000.jpg","/articles/6477283/Coos-County/Oregon/Commissioners-approve-Beaver-Hill-change-orders-authorize-temporary-pit-area-and-roofreplacement-related-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6477283-1ccab270a7bda912c7af10d7db34213f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770810450&Signature=on-wt-Qc-K~3rc-y7q4rO4FrGjr5f6cg7PKUF84f-7ofMo2RLD0eMYRQboREyY5BM1RK7lw7bjs-aiRFQXmESxxXSlG0S4dibpBEteExgoDXc3QTZwZTfQ6RsyUHb-d1NJFMjm0EuOxDcNNoEKV3gJeXiY6j8Tq0uJUmDHwKdWlxNWFAsMOIYt~mRu~AecpLIll9siJ1WAp759ok0g3WuakXhUX0T8m7akDclfh39fcoWhU~OEsbdNbz59LlcikMunDSmGLbJqC2-p0Kf~MyXriz1WyX~lLR8fjF60~fZhw4VijsRZOiEKrFsM4~chQawESooeDukcHxS3ESJFHteg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Coos County commissioners approved change orders and authorization to sign on behalf of the county to support ongoing work at the Beaver Hill pit and an associated roof‑replacement project.

Road department staff (presenter identified as Paul) described a need for temporary pit operations and a change order under the county’s contract with a contractor (Wardell or Mordell referenced in discussion). Staff said a temporary pit area had been agreed upon so the county could continue to provide services while certain pits were closed. The board approved a change-order authorization to allow signature on the county’s behalf for temporary pit related work.

Meeting discussion included cost figures cited by staff: a referenced project figure of $102,215 for bulk vehicle work and another stated ceiling of $102,050.05 described as “not to exceed” for temporary work related to the Beaver Tail roof‑replacement project. Another remark referenced a $64,000 saving on a separate item. The board approved the motion and recorded aye votes.

Why it matters: The authorizations are intended to avoid service interruptions while contracted replacement work proceeds and to allow the road department to manage temporary operations and recycle/tire handling during closures.

Ending: The board approved the change‑order authority and moved on to subsequent agenda items.","The board authorized change orders and contract signature authority to keep the Beaver Hill pit/operations running while replacement work proceeds, approving related expenditures including a temporary works authorization and a roof‑replacement change not to exceed roughly $102,050.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6477288,"Coos County awards Sealander Creek fish‑passage contract to Papaya Contracting LLC for $57,921",83,623000,706000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5711863-aae9db55f1b1e716597710936b704eb4&start=623&end=706","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5711863-aae9db55f1b1e716597710936b704eb4/thumbnail_623000.jpg","/articles/6477288/Coos-County/Oregon/Coos-County-awards-Sealander-Creek-fishpassage-contract-to-Papaya-Contracting-LLC-for-57921","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6477288-4176ce547da83eca69588ff2e50358f1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770810450&Signature=Egw6m~D50A5tCD~uz~v-trEtekbmGvtRPPtRqgvmFIHbm93nXzgwlpM1d6DoSmZ7jJRRU~FDMmYP9E04jGT5f38KLxwWn-e0YsJzkO3zZMV0F3oK9fZrhNQC-m33Qcgo-yu4nnykp5Yq7iHKFOI69BCLwx59gVhNpSEQG6DYytCE4IaPofhde5mfrAY3NqRoMSzz9W9DgB~VOXEt3ryukgrGRuDkdXpxZ~2UIEEnWQ8UuEAwprs8r8bJ1DEOWjIilsye4AgJsTnXvBMJ~tjfnjhnL0QUcZnHNj0Cw1vNxbaEBIJNH3fWr1ZgouOWlzeOG4~4b6u7WEEatQkpGQtKfQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Coos County commissioners voted to award a contract to Papaya Contracting LLC for the Sealander Creek Fish Passage Project in the amount of $57,921.

Paul (Road Department/Presenter) explained the project involves replacing two culverts on Sealander Road (a county road) and that Coos Watershed Association has grant funds on hand; the watershed association will contribute $15,000 toward the contract. County staff said the pipes are already on-site and the county put the work out to bid; Papaya Contracting was the lowest responsible bidder.

A commissioner moved to award the contract and to authorize the roadmaster to sign the contract upon County Council approval; a second followed and the board approved the motion by voice vote.

Why it matters: Culvert replacements are intended to restore fish passage and are part of the county’s multi‑year partnership with Coos Watershed Association. The county will contract for the work and invoice the watershed association for its $15,000 contribution once the contract is in place.

Ending: The board authorized the roadmaster to sign the contract upon County Council approval so work can proceed with the selected contractor.","The board approved a contract with Papaya Contracting LLC to replace two culverts on Sealander Road to restore fish passage; Coos Watershed Association will contribute $15,000 in grant funds toward the project.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6477293,"Coos County approves multiple reclassifications in clerk’s office and public health",529,846000,1375000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5711863-aae9db55f1b1e716597710936b704eb4&start=846&end=1375","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5711863-aae9db55f1b1e716597710936b704eb4/thumbnail_846000.jpg","/articles/6477293/Coos-County/Oregon/Coos-County-approves-multiple-reclassifications-in-clerks-office-and-public-health","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6477293-885977b8c302a119490b468983a3836a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770810450&Signature=IfZ~O7PYWreVO6OSzcbS5CXbDoOmFcVLqgg8reGTKAPf0Kg2tyw-yz27IMC75hletgZOYcMoj13aCVRe7KyBSB-yTUv728klaI1TFT48oog4sfVXUMj4pSilL6qY1FS4kOINvtalUMC8HTFrVd1hDD82oNczMYmqGlno69vTxSsqRcl8BMEPx2DHDBSoKd0bB9jqnhB9tXCfIpMSMehrcR7SMl4hkPMy~GXYSI60sWX4Q-NlqCmYthtLngq2Fk6dak5~b0AWMgLkH0ULpz9v3S2ZPybAGhNmYcpE8ZAX0Z5prXkfxdlV9YazR-aK6RwvaS2mK9FGIuAGpM~GvCsw9g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Coos County commissioners on a unanimous vote approved several personnel reclassifications affecting the County Clerk’s Office and the public-health WIC program.

The largest group of actions came from County Clerk Julie (County Clerk), who asked the board to approve updated job descriptions and pay-grade reclassifications for three clerk-office positions to reflect added duties after a staffing reduction. The board approved: reclassifying the chief deputy recorder position to pay grade 7-80, effective Aug. 1, 2025 (resolution cited in the meeting); renaming and reclassifying the lead elections deputy to lead election analyst, moving the position from pay grade 4-20 to 4-21, effective Aug. 1, 2025; and reclassifying an elections position to “election and recording specialist,” moving that job from pay grade 4-16 to 4-17, effective Aug. 1, 2025.

Julie said the reclassifications reflect added responsibilities after the clerk’s office lost a full-time recorder position and that staff are being cross-trained to cover recording and elections work ahead of the September primary and November election. The board moved and seconded each item and recorded aye votes for approval.

Separately, the board approved a personnel action in Public Health to reclassify a WIC position to an A2 classification retroactive to July 1, 2025. The county identified the action by a resolution number during the meeting.

Why it matters: Commissioners said the changes align pay and titles with actual duties following a staff reduction in the clerk’s office and will keep elections operations staffed and cross-trained ahead of the upcoming election season.

The board recorded motions and approvals for each item and authorized the chair to sign the associated resolutions.

Ending: The personnel approvals were taken as part of the consent and regular agenda items; the board moved on to other procurement and funding items after the votes.","The Board approved personnel reclassifications covering a public-health WIC position and three County Clerk office roles, effective Aug. 1, 2025 for the clerk positions and retroactive July 1, 2025 for the WIC change, with associated pay-grade adjustments and resolution signings.","actionData","errors"]
