Hood River County Commissioners have approved a forestland exchange with Farmers Irrigation District.  Under the deal, the County exchanges just over nineteen acres of forestland surrounding Kingsley Reservoir for over 39 acres owned by the irrigation district that will be incorporated into the designated County Forest.  The exchange compensates the County for land, timber and infrastructure which will be flooded and destroyed as a result of Farmers’ reservoir expansion project that is underway.  Commission Chair Ron Rivers says they were able to meet the financial balance required by law for the County to proceed.  In other business the Commission scheduled a hearing for August 6 on whether to put a three percent tax on marijuana sales in the County on the November ballot.  The County has the option to establish the tax, but under state law it must be approved by voters.
