State Marine Board release - The Oregon State Marine Board will hold a work session and accept public comment on October 2, beginning at 8:30 am. The work session will be held at Rogue Community College Medford Campus, rooms HEC 129 A/B.  At the July 2024 Board meeting, the Marine Board asked staff to convene a public meeting so they could consider boat operations on the Rogue River from the former location of the Gold Ray Dam to Lost Creek Reservoir on the Upper Rogue River.  The public is invited to share their perspectives specific to boat operations (motorized and nonmotorized) for the Upper Rogue River. The meeting format will begin with invited presentations and testimony, followed by an open public comment period. The comment period will end after the last speaker or by 4:00 pm, whichever occurs first.  To provide oral testimony online, register with Jennifer Cooper no later than 5 pm on September 27, 2024. Written public comments will be accepted by October 16 by 5 pm and can be emailed to [email protected] or by U.S. Mail to Oregon State Marine Board, Attn: Jennifer Cooper, 435 Commercial St NE Ste 400 Salem, OR 97301.  For information about the work session, visit https://www.oregon.gov/osmb/info/Pages/Board-and-Public-Meetings.aspx.
