The Oregon State Marine Board will hold a special telephone Board meeting on May 18, beginning at 11 a.m. At the Board’s June 2013 Board meeting, the Director was granted a Small Grants expenditure authority of $100,000 per biennium. This biennium, the agency received additional grant applications, which if approved, will exceed the $100,000 cap. The Director is requesting Board approval to increase the maximum expenditure authority to $200,000 for the remaining 2013-15 biennium. The public is invited to participate by coming to the agency, located at 435 Commercial St. NE in Salem.
