Why don't the County Maintain Old Korral?

Old Korral is considered a "Local Access Road" not a County Road.  

How Does the County determine how much each property owner pays? 

Woodland Park Special Road District is different from Woodland Park residential.  It is a separate map SEE MAPS LINK which includes all of Old Korral, Bronco and other outlying areas.  The individual tax is assessed at 1.0654 per $1000.00 assessed value. for each property owner with in the District.  Get more information here: http://www.klamathcounty.org/.

How do the Board of Commissioners determine how to disburse the money?

Really good question!  We are currently working on a standard formula for each road within the district.  In the recent past, all funds were spent on the maintenance of Old Korral.  With the new Board of Commissioners we believe that all tax payers should receive benenfits from the money.  While have not finalized the formula an example might be: 50% Old Korral, 40% Woodland Park/Larkin Creek, 5% Bronco, and 5% Cowboy Hill. In theory these percentages would be taken after operating expenses such as insurance, Office supplies etc.

Who appoints the Board of Directors?

There is an application process through Klamath County.  When there is an opening, it will be announced at the monthly meetings.  Interested parties can then go online to the County Website under Special Districts.  There you can fill out the application online.  All applications are then presented to the current Board for their recommendation.  The final appointment to the Woodland Park Special Road District is made by the Klamath County Board of Commissioners who reviews the applications and considers the recommendation and appoints the applicant best suited for the volunteer positon.  

How long are the Terms of the Board Commissioners?

Each position is for a 3 year term.  The terms are staggered so that each year a position on the Board becomes available.  For instance: Commissioner # 1's term will end  December 2022, #2  December 2021, #3 December 2020.  Each Commissioner can apply to the Board for two consecutive terms.    In the instance that there are not any applicants for an open position, The Klamath County Board of Commissioners may appoint a Commissioner for additional terms to ensure there is a quorum.
