Commissioners approve appointments, copier maintenance, and property closing authorization

Klamath County commissioners on Jan. 7 moved through a series of routine business items: they appointed members to six special-road-district boards, approved a monthly maintenance agreement for a Community Corrections copier, and authorized the county property manager to sign closing documents for a previously approved land sale.

Appointments: The board appointed Craig Huntsman to the Pine Grove Highland Special Road District; Ron Thiele and Tina Crum to the Woodland Park Special Road District; Sachina Kaufman to the Cedar Trails Special Road District; Robert Holland, Brian Taylor and Tina Gray to the 2 Rivers North Special Road District; and Larry Johnson to the Sun Forest Estates Special Road District. Each appointment was approved by unanimous voice vote and recorded as passing.

Community Corrections presented a buyout and maintenance option for a copier whose 38-month lease had ended. The board approved an agreement with Canon Solutions America for a monthly maintenance agreement; the fiscal terms read into the record were 0.007476 per black-and-white copy and 0.04501 per color copy. The motion authorized Erin Hartman to sign on behalf of the department.

Property sale: Terry Wells of Klamath County Property Sales briefed the board on a previously approved purchase-and-sale agreement between Klamath County and Summers Crossing LLC for map/tax-lot information read into the record. The board authorized County Property Manager Rick Bond to sign all closing documents related to the transaction; staff said the property is currently in escrow and that the original purchase-and-sale agreement was approved Oct. 29, 2024. Commissioners voted unanimously on the authorization.

All items in this group were handled with brief discussion and unanimous approval; no additional fiscal appropriations were reported beyond amounts already budgeted or covered by vendor billing arrangements.
