Hood River County Commissioners have formally approved moving ahead with signing the legal documents to transfer ownership of the Hood River library and the grounds around it to the Hood River County Library District. The County had retained ownership of the building when voters approved formation of the district to reopen the library five years ago, to allow the district to get firmly established. County Administrator David Meriwether says it’s time to convey the property over to the district as originally planned. In other business, the Commission approved the County budget for the 2016-17 fiscal year. It is unchanged from the document developed by the County’s budget committee, and continues current levels of funding in most areas.
