In other matters, commissioners said the county appears to be nearing the end of fire season without a catastrophic wildfire, a point of relief for officials and residents.
A commissioner displayed a commemorative shovel from a Sept. 10, 1974 groundbreaking for a law-enforcement and courts facility, read the inscription naming then-commissioners (Angie Basker, George Calbertt, Pete Longridge) and recounted personal connections to Anne Basker and her role in pursuing regional flood-control projects such as Lost Creek and Applegate. The board noted Anne Basker was the first woman commissioner in Josephine County. The meeting adjourned at 9:31 a.m.
