Federal Coronavirus Relief Funds were disseminated to cities to help maintain essential public services during the pandemic. The funding amount was determined by City population. City of Camas received $722,700. To help us allocate these funds, we are asking citizens to try out our new software called Balancing Act.
Balancing Act will let you see the unbudgeted expenses related to COVID-19 and then indicate which of those expenses you prioritize reimbursing with relief funds.
Please report possible water pollution (illicit discharge) to the City of Camas at (360) 817-1565, or the Department of Ecology SW Regional Office at 360-407-6300.
Each year the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to be used for projects and activities that serve low to moderate income populations. CDBG funds are awarded through a competitive process through Clark County Community Development. Camas competes with other municipalities in Clark County for a small pool of available funds. Proposed projects usually include rehabilitation of two or three blocks of public streets, sidewalks and curb ramps. See past projects before and after pictures below.
The Camas City Council has approved the acquisition of 115 acres of land on the west side of Green Mountain adjacent to Ingle Road in Camas with the intent of preserving it as open space.
You can help keep fats from clogging pipes by disposing of grease properly:
Never pour fats, oils, or grease down the drain.
Never flush fats, oils, or grease down the toilet.
Always put grease in the trash.
Raw sewage in the pipes will attach to fats, oils, and grease, creating impenetrable globs that back up sewer lines. These globs of fat and waste are difficult to disinfect at treatment plants and can allow disease-causing pathogens to enter nearby streams, lakes, and rivers.
