HR County Commission Makes Change To Timber Revenue Formula

Hood River County Commissioners approved a change in the new 10-year average revenue formula for the timber deposit fund to help avoid potential shortfalls in the future.  County Forester Doug Thiesies made the proposal to make the formula the ten year average revenue from allowable cut harvested plus the average revenue from mortality sales, saying it will reconnect the transfer to the timber deposit fund balance, changing in the allowable cut, and actual revenue, rather than based on a constant that’s not based on actual revenue.  The budget for the current fiscal year reflects the new formula.  It results in an increase of $135,513 in the County’s general fund for 2020-21.
