The co((s of county government
ire kept revolving by more than
300 county employes, representing
an annual payroll of $1.2 million.
but behind that operation are' 67
people wbo work voluntarily be
hind closed doors to assist in the
efficient and economic manage-
ment of various county activities
The 67 people serving with little
or no remuneration are appointees
of the county court who serve on
the county's 12 hoards, commis
sions, and committees as advisers
to department heads on the coun
ty payroll.
The county advisory groups
meet (luring evenings, gener
ally, and devote much of their
spare time to conducting studies
ind making reports on projects
of concern to their various committees.
Those groups include the Armory
Hoard. Budget Committee. Dog
Commission, Kair Board. Library
Hoard. Museum Board. Park Com
mission. Planning Commission,
Itoads Advisory Committee,
Hoard of Equalisation, Welfare
Commission and the Klamath
County .Juvenile Council.
In some cases, the volunteer
.roups make recommendations di.
ici-tly to the county court, while
other groups act in a supcrvis
my capacity to other county gov
crnmcnt activities.
Those selected to serve are ap
pointed for prescribed terms by
the county court. Some members
do their part by serving for one
term, others serve for indefinite
appointments, and still others do
more than their part by accepting
appointment for two or more terms
in succession.
Of the 12 groups working be
hind the props of county govern
ment, only the three-man dog com
mission receives token compil
ation for its efforts an annual
tipend of approximately $100 per
member.
In accordance wilh Oregon stat
ute, members of the County Court
are represented on two of the
groups, namely the Wellarc Com
mission and the Huituet nm-mitlee.
' people other than the mem-
1h-is ot the three-man County
Court reah.e the qiiahly ol the
work pel termed by the 12 hoards
,md commissions In attesting to
that point. Commissioner Frank
Ganong of the County Court com
mcnted, "Services donated to
the public by the citizens serving
our county boards and commis
sions are invaluable to the local
taxpayer. I believe that most peo
ple would concede that local gov
ernment is easier to reach and
more satisfactory to deal with
than the state or federal govern
ment.-;.
I believe this is true because
more individual eiliens are
lively involved in local govern
ment.
Klamath Countv has been for
tunate in the quality of the advice
received from those citizens who
have voluntarily served on coun
ty boards and commissions over
the years.
At no time have we been better
served than we are by those out
standing citizens now- active in this
capacity."
