Hood River County Commissioners decided Thursday they are willing to increase their contribution to NORCOR by a little under ten percent in the upcoming fiscal year, but not the over 16 percent in a budget proposal by jail administration.  Commissioners decided that even with an already challenging budget situation, they could agree with a $150,000 jump.  County Commission Chair Mike Oates said the panel believes it is very important to maintain NORCOR, even though it is going to be difficult for the rest of the County’s budget.  Commissioner Bob Benton, who is Hood River County’s representative on the NORCOR board and its chair, had asked the rest of the Commission for direction to take back to the other counties involved in the jail.  NORCOR has not had a jump in financial contributions from its counties in for years, and is facing major expense increases in the areas of food, PERS liability, a capital fund line item to address aging facilities, and wages and compensation increases currently in negotiation.
