Agreement Reached On MCCOG Building Codes Reserves

Wasco County Commissioners have approved an agreement on a long-discussed split of about $3.9 million in building code reserve funds left from the now-defunct Mid-Columbia Council of Governments.  Under the agreement, Wasco County will receive 80 percent of the funds, and Sherman and Gilliam counties will receive 10 percent each.  By state law the funds must be used for building codes purposes, and Commissioner Scott Hege says they will act as a reserve fund for the County’s program established as MCCOG dissolved.  Wheeler County will not receive any of the funds because it has elected to have the state administer its building codes program.  Wasco County Commissioners approved the agreement during its second online meeting on Wednesday.  Hege says it went well, including two presentations and a public hearing on fees.
