BEFORE THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF DESCIUTES COUNTY, OREGON
An Order Authorizing Board of County
Commissioners Chair to Sign Grant Application * ORDER NO. 2012-039
Documents Following Board Approval of Grant
Application
WHEREAS, staff from various Deschutes County departments often present grant applications to the
Board of County Commissioners ("Board") for approval; and
WHEREAS, because final signature-ready documents may not be available at the time the Board
approves grant applications and in order to satisfy sometimes rigorous application submittal deadlines, Board
signatures on the final document may jeopardize grant approval; and
WHEREAS, Deschutes County Code, Section 2.04.060 provides: "Any contract, or other similar
document may be signed by the board chair or a designee of the Board chair under the following circumstances;
*****The document is a contract, or similar document that was approved by Board majority."and
WHEREAS, since the County Code does not use the word, grant, which ORS 279A.0I0(I)(k) defines as
an agreement, or, for that matter grant application, the Board interprets the Code as allowing grant applications
to be signed by the Chair following Board approval; and
WHEREAS, the Board desires that the Board Chair exercise authority to sign final grant application
documents on behalf of the Board following Board approval of the grant application; now, therefore,
THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON, HEREBY
ORDERS as follows:
Section 1. Following approval by the Board of grant applications, the Board Chair is authorized to sign
final grant application documents on behalf of the Board.
