With no administrative actions on the agenda, the Josephine County Board of Commissioners made quick work of their Weekly Business Session today.

Moving straight to Public Comment, with five minutes allowed to speak due to the light agenda, members of the community brought up topics including accusing the commissioners of violating the constitution, support for the library, usage of the Dimmick Property, and those for and against the recalls against Commissioners Andreas Blech and Chris Barnett.

After comments, Commissioner Ron Smith encouraged community members to bring ideas and solutions to the Public Comment period, Commissioner Barnett called for unification in the county, and Commissioner Blech invited people to reach out and talk with him about their concerns.

The board approved minutes for past sessions and the September 16th workshop, thanked the firefighters for their hard work, and mentioned the yearly proposals for department fee changes, encouraging the community to participate and watch for fee meeting dates over the next 4 - 6 weeks.
