The Hood River County Commission approved the County’s 2020-21 Fiscal Year budget on Monday evening. Commissioners approved the budget with some changes, including adding a little over $21,000 for Oak Grove, Ruthton, and Panorama Point parks, and $100,000 for potential legal costs. The County approved the budget coming off approval of a five-year local option levy for public safety. There was some public testimony on using funds from the levy differently based on recent protests about police behavior around the country, but Commissioner Les Perkins pointed out they had been specific with voters about how the levy dollars would be used, and they need to stick with that. Commissioners approved the budget unanimously.
