SALEM, Ore. — The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Fish Restoration and Enhancement Board will meet on Friday, Oct. 3 in Tillamook.
The committee will meet from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the ODFW Tillamook Office, 4907 Third St Tillamook, OR 97141 to review four amendment requests and 12 project proposals. Other agenda items include a district update, setting the 2015 schedule, various staff updates, and discussion on funding projects on the hatchery priority list. A copy of the full agenda is available on the ODFW Web site.
The meeting is open to the public, and there will be an opportunity for public comment.
Created by the Oregon Legislature in 1989, the Fish Restoration and Enhancement Program is funded by a surcharge on sport and commercial fishing licenses and commercial poundage fees. The program’s seven-member citizen board reviews fish restoration and enhancement project proposals and makes funding recommendations to the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission.
Reasonable accommodations will be provided as needed for individuals requesting assistive hearing devices, sign language interpreters or large-print materials. Individuals needing these types of accommodations may call the Information and Education Division at 800-720-6339 or 503-947-6002 at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting.
