The Wasco County Commission decided to have planning staff move forward with incorporating revisions to the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area Management Plan into their land use development ordinance.  Commission Chair Scott Hege said while he remains concerned about the County not being fully reimbursed for the costs associated with implementing the Scenic Area ordinance, he added after receiving significant public comment over the last two weeks it became clear they should move forward with implementation.  He added it was clear the Gorge Commission does not have the resources to take on administering the NSA ordinance in Wasco County at this time.  Commissioner Steve Kramer suggested sending a letter to Oregon Governor Kate Brown and the Gorge Commission seeking to modify this year’s state budget to provide the funding for the counties and the Gorge Commission to cover the costs of Scenic Area ordinance administration.
