Union County Releases 2026 Board of Commissioners Meeting Schedule

Union County has released its 2026 schedule for Board of Commissioners meetings, establishing regular opportunities for public attendance and input on county policy, budgets, land use and services. Meetings are set for 9 AM on the first and third Wednesday of most months and will normally be held at the Joseph Annex Building, 1106 K Avenue, La Grande. The board held its first listed session on January 7, 2026.

The full calendar lists meetings on Wednesday, January 7 and January 21; Wednesday, February 4, February 11 and February 18; Wednesday, March 4 and March 18; Wednesday, April 1 and April 15; Wednesday, May 6 and May 20; Wednesday, June 3 and June 24; Wednesday, July 1 and July 15; Wednesday, August 5 and August 19; Wednesday, September 2 and September 16; Wednesday, October 7 and October 21; Wednesday, November 4 and November 18; and Wednesday, December 2 and December 16. All sessions are scheduled to begin at 9 AM unless otherwise noted.

Meetings are open to the public, and the county is continuing remote access via Zoom teleconference. To listen or to participate in the public comment period by phone, callers may use (253) 215-8782 or (301) 715-8592 and enter meeting ID 814 2000 6863. The Zoom join link is us02web.zoom.us/j/81420006863. If callers do not get through on the first attempt, the county advises trying again. Residents who prefer written input may submit comments by email or obtain meeting materials by contacting amoore@union-county.org. The county requests that all written comments be submitted to its office by 5 PM on the Monday before each meeting.

For Union County residents, the published schedule clarifies when elected commissioners will hear issues that directly affect local services such as road maintenance, public safety funding and land-use planning. Advance notice of dates and a standing pattern of first and third Wednesday meetings make it easier for stakeholders, property owners, small business operators, non-profit leaders and concerned citizens, to plan attendance, prepare testimony and monitor agenda items that affect La Grande and the surrounding communities.

The schedule also underscores the county’s effort to balance in-person civic participation with remote access, an accommodation that helps residents who cannot travel to the Joseph Annex Building. To follow upcoming agendas or request materials ahead of a meeting, contact amoore@union-county.org and remember the 5 PM Monday deadline for written comments. Keeping calendar dates and participation options in hand will help residents engage with decisions that shape services and budgets throughout 2026.
