How to show up in Wallowa County
Surveillance is approved by people who hold public meetings any resident can attend. This page lists the bodies that do that in Wallowa 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We do not publish meeting dates.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.

Wallowa County Board of Commissioners
Watch this oneWatch the grant initiation list on each agenda. That is where this county's cameras appear, as five thousand dollar risk management grants rather than as purchases, and it is the only place they appear.
- When
- The first and third Wednesday of every month at 9:00 AM, in the county's own words.
- Where
- Thornton Room, Wallowa County Courthouse, Enterprise, Oregon.
- Remote
- The county says board meetings, special meetings and hearings may be attended over Zoom, and that the instructions are published in each meeting's announcement rather than at a standing address.
- Public comment
- Agendas carry a public comment item described as an invitation "to comment on matters of personal and/or public concern", which is broader than most counties on this site allow. We did not find a written time limit or sign-up rule.
- Written comment
- — not confirmed
- Who to ask
- Board of Commissioners Office, 541-426-4543 ext. 1130 (checked )
Worth knowing before you search. Seventy two of this county's seventy six sets of minutes are scanned images with no text layer, so they can be read one at a time but not searched, and an empty search of this county's record may only mean the decisions were never searchable. Agendas are fine. Each meeting has its own page with its documents attached, rather than one long list. We read 2020 to 2026.

What this list does not cover yet
These are the bodies we have confirmed, not every body in the county. Wallowa 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.
