Tillamook County Board of Commissioners approved during a board meeting Wednesday, Dec. 9, a contract for goods with Northwest Parking Equipment Company for the Tillamook County Automated Fee Stations Project.
Tillamook County Parks Director JoAnn Woelfle said Tillamook County Parks is in the process of purchasing five fee machines. These machines are over $11,000 each. The total price for the fee stations is $57,515.
Woelfle said the fee stations will be solar powered and touch-free. This will prevent cash handling. The machines are expected to arrive mid-January.
âThere are further applications we could potentially use them for in the future,â Woelfle said of the machines. âAt this time, we will looking at using them for day use.â

Fee increases are as follows:
Day use access passes will increase from $4 to $10
Annual day use access passes will increase from $45 to $55
Annual day use access passes will remain $45 for seniors (65 and over), disabled veterans and Oregon Trail Card members
New this year: the Tillamook County Parks department will develop community work party opportunities in 2021, such as a beach or campground clean up, for citizens to participate in a service activity and earn an annual day use access pass.
