With the Mid-Columbia Council of Governments board deciding to divest itself of the four remaining services it offers, now the process of where those services go will begin. MCCOG interim executive director David Meriwether is emphasizing those services will not be interrupted while that process take place, however long that takes. In the case of three of MCCOG’s service areas, senior services, workforce development, and transportation, the state of Oregon will be involved in putting out requests for proposals to find new entities to be providers. The cities and counties involved will make the determination on how they want to handle building code services. Hood River County has not used MCCOG for building code operations.
