The Josephine County Board of Commissioners made quick work of their agenda during the County Administration Workshop this morning.

With Commissioner Chris Barnett being excused, Commissioner Andreas Blech asked to have the BOLI decision moved to next week.

The District Attorney presented the Victims of Crime Act Grant and CFA Grant renewal requests to help support crime victim self-sufficiency. The board moved the decision to this week's Business Session.

The commissioners approved an invoice from both the Clerk and Facilities Departments, as well as the Recreation Departments out-of-state travel request.

The Public Works and Forestry Department's vehicle purchase requests were approved, and the board moved 2-0 to sign the United States Forest Service agreement to extend the contract negotiation window.

Motions to approve the Information Technology Department invoices for a Geographic Information System Service Software Renewal and Managed Data Detection and Response Software Renewal passed.

The board also approved a Human Resources requisition for a Transit Operator, step increases for roles in the Transit and Recreation Department, as well as new hires and an FTE Change for Community Justice, the District Attorney's Office, and Transit.

Commissioner Blech announced that Commissioner Barnett will be out this week, and the meeting was adjourned.
