State Land Board To Meet June 9 In Salem - 06/02/26
SALEM, Ore. – The State Land Board will meet on Tuesday, June 9 at 10:00 a.m. at the Department of State Lands building in Salem.
Agenda items the Land Board will consider include:
- Approve the sale of 80 acres of state-owned forestland in Coos County to the South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve for $780,000.
The acquisition, funded through a federal grant, will allow the Reserve to manage the property for long-term research, education, recreation, and conservation. The sale will also generate revenue for the Common School Fund while converting low-value forestland into connected habitat.
- Approve the sale of 65 acres of filled lands on Hayden Island in Multnomah County to the Oregon Department of Transportation for $1.3 million.
The property will be used to help satisfy mitigation requirements for the Interstate Bridge Replacement Program.
- Begin the rulemaking process to update the Department of State Lands’ State Agency Coordination Program.
These updates are necessary to ensure agency rules and programs related to land use comply with the statewide planning goals and remain compatible with local comprehensive plans.
- Begin the rulemaking process to expand public use restrictions on approximately 50 acres of state-owned lands in the Sandy River Delta to support conservation and protection efforts.
Existing restrictions in OAR 141-088 on camping and open fires apply only to the beds and banks of the Sandy River. This rulemaking would expand those restrictions to the surrounding state-owned lands and prohibit overnight camping year-round and open fires from May through November. An emergency closure is currently in place.
- Authorize the Department of State Lands Director to submit and certify the Agency Request Budget.
- Approve the Oregon Department of Forestry’s proposed 2027-29 budget for management of certified Common School Fund forestlands.
- Approve three permanent easements for existing bridges in Clatsop and Tillamook counties.
The Land Board will also hear an update on the Department’s proposed 2027-29 policy option packages as well as the Department’s actions related to the 1000 Road Parcel in the Elliott State Research Forest.
