How to show up in Sherman County
Surveillance is approved by people who hold public meetings any resident can attend. This page lists the bodies that do that in Sherman County, what we have confirmed about attending each one, and where each publishes its agendas.
We do not publish meeting dates. A schedule we cannot check often enough would eventually send someone to the wrong place on the wrong night. Each body below links to wherever it publishes its own agendas and schedule, and that is the copy to trust.

Sherman County Court
Watch this oneThe county's cameras were reported to its Safety Committee rather than decided at a County Court meeting, so watch both. In a county this size, building security, panic buttons and homeland security grants all sit on one recurring agenda.
- When
- Most often the first and third Wednesday of the month, usually starting at 9:00 AM.
- Where
- Sherman County Courthouse, 500 Court Street, Moro, Oregon.
- Remote
- — not confirmed
- Public comment
- We did not find a written public comment procedure, time limit or sign-up rule for this body in the agendas we read. The minutes, which might describe one, are scanned images we cannot search.
- Written comment
- — not confirmed
The thing to know before you start. This county publishes its agendas as digital files and its minutes as scanned images, so the minutes cannot be searched, only read one at a time. Eighty four of them are in that state in the window we hold, 2023 onward. If you search this county's record for something and find nothing, that may only mean the decisions were never searchable. Two of the portal's four categories, the Biggs Service District and the Budget Committee, are unread. We found no Sheriff's Office material at all: no policy manual, no separate site.

What this list does not cover yet
These are the bodies we have confirmed, not every body in the county. Sherman County has other commissions and committees, and other school and special districts, that we have not documented yet. Several of the county's own committees publish on the same county portal linked above.
