Second, the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing on May 11, 2016 at 2:00 pm in the County Annex, located at 66 SE “D” Street, Madras, OR.
Previously the Madras City Council approved the EOA on February 23, 2016 and the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners approved the EOA on February 24, 2016.
