State Land Board to meet December 10 in Salem
Agenda items include rules on leasing land for communication site facilities and annual program updates
SALEM, Ore. – The State Land Board will meet on Tuesday, December 10 at 10:00 a.m. at the Department of State Lands building in Salem.
Agenda items the Land Board will consider include:
- Adopt new and amended rules that guide how communication site facilities are leased on State-owned land.
Communication site facilities lease lands managed by the Department, and the leases generate revenue for the state’s Common School Fund. These facilities support wireless cellular service, internet service, emergency communications, technologies that detect wildfires or seismic activities, cable and radio broadcast, local radio users, and more. New and expanded rules are needed for this complex and rapidly evolving industry.
- Adopt amended rules that authorize special uses on State-owned land.
As a result of adopting a new division of rules specific to communication sites in OAR 141-126, it’s necessary to also amend OAR 141-125 to remove reference to those rules.
The Land Board will also hear the annual report of our aquatic resource management program, as well as guest presentations from the Oregon State Treasury regarding the performance of the Common School Fund investments and a presentation from the Department of Geology and Mineral Industries on geologic carbon sequestration.
