 September 30ih.

Building maintenance will decline, and after July 1st, we will repair buildings only if there 

 is damage. 



Assessment will not be current in malcing tax maps for newly created tax lots. There will

The county will no longer maint^n the buildings at the Expo Park. If they become 

 damaged, they will remain damaged unless the Fair Board can fund the repair. 



The county no longer pays dues to the Rogue Valley Councfl of Governments, meaning
