Monday, Klamath County commissioners attempted to find the answers.  The commissioners have held several countywide hearings of their own, but found that too many questions had gone unanswered. 

Experts from state and federal agencies gathered at the Klamath County Fair Grounds.  Several questions that have been circulating around the community were discussed, questions concerning the possible dam removal and its impact on the environment.     

"At least to understand what the agreement does and, perhaps more importantly, what it does not do," said Commissioner John Elliott.

"I think it can be worked out, but there's an awful lot that's gotta be answered and a lot of protections put into it before it's a done deal, as far as I’m concerned," said Steve Rapelyea, who lives in Klamath County.

The question and answer session does not replace other negotiations that are still ongoing.  The commissioners are also in facilitating talks between on-and-off project negotiators

One thing that has been agreed upon is that more time is needed to come to a final solution.  Elliott says they'll organize another session like this if it's necessary in the future.

Starting this evening, they will be taking written comments.

They can be sent by email to BOCC@co.klamath.or.us or left at the government center downtown.
