1:30 p.m., County Administration Workshop. After a declaration of potential conflicts of interest, Community Development’s Building Safety division brings an out-of-state travel authorization. Under board business is Resolution No. 2026-039, "In the Matter of Affirming Compliance with State and Federal Law and Requesting That the State of Oregon Address Counties’ Federal Funding and False Claims Act Exposure." The agenda also leaves time for other matters and announcements from commissioners.

2 p.m., 4H/Extension and Service District. The commissioners convene as the district’s governing body to consider a grant application. The application form in the packet says the program is open to all applicants, with awards based on demonstrated benefit to agricultural education in Josephine County. It asks for a project description, budget, background and three references, and says awarded funds are handled through the district’s budget process.
