Oregon- Due to the gubernatorial transition, the State Land Board meeting planned for February 18, 2015 will be postponed until a later date. The new date will be announced prior to the meeting in accordance with ORS 192.640.
Meeting information: http://www.oregon.gov/dsl/SLB/Pages/2015_slb_meeting_schedule.aspx
The State Land Board consists of Governor John Kitzhaber, Secretary of State Kate Brown and State Treasurer Ted Wheeler. The Department of State Lands administers diverse natural and fiscal resources. Many of the resources generate revenue for the Common School Fund, such as state-owned rangelands and timberlands, waterway leases, estates for which no will or heirs exist, and unclaimed property. Twice a year, the agency distributes fund investment earnings to support K-12 public schools.
The agency also administers Oregon’s Removal-Fill Law, which requires people removing or filling certain amounts of material in waters of the state to obtain a permit.
