Wednesday appears to be the busiest meeting so far in 2019 for the Marion County Commission.
• Commissioners will consider entering into an agreement with the Oregon District Attorneys Association and the Oregon Department of Justice to help staff the Oregon Child Support Program. The staffer would report to Marion County District Attorney Paige Clarkson. The Department of Justice would pay Marion County $974,000 over five years, according to the agreement.
• Commissioners will consider changing what uses are allowed on an array of land zones to comply with changes in state law. Changes would include allowing cider businesses on land zoned farm or timber and allowing accessory dwelling units on land zoned for acreage residential.
Meeting details: Wednesday, Jan. 23 at 9 a.m., Senator Hearing Room, 555 Court Street N.E., Salem.
Commission members: Sam Brentano, Kevin Cameron, Colm Willis.
