    Thank you for using Engage Camas and thank you for your question. We have a consultant currently designing a parallel STEP sewer main near TSMC. They had a survey crew out last week, so that's likely why utility locates were called in.

    At this point, they're just gathering field data and progressing through the design phase. There is no construction timeline yet, as that will depend on funding availability and the recommendations of the Sewer System Master Plan.

  • Share Dear Mayor, I'm interested in the safety of Camas High School students and I think a new sign to mark the turn-off at the corner of SE Norse Road & SE 283rd Avenue would be extremely helpful. Students traveling this way are driving a long, narrow, curvy road going 40mph. The turn is currently unmarked and easy to miss. A sign would help drivers slow down in time to make that turn much more safely.

    Thank you for using Engage Camas and thank you for your question. Grove Field is currently managed by the Port of Camas-Washougal and under the noise constraints of Clark County. As such, the County would have to determine if they are in violation of noise ordinances, not the City of Camas. You can contact the Port with your concerns here: https://portcw.com/contact-us/

In terms of the school district, they are a separate entity from the City and would have their own policy in regards to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

    Thank you for your questions and thank you for using Engage Camas. Nothing has changed on the City's end. While we own the park and provide irrigation and water, we do not do any maintenance. It is the responsibility of the HOA to provide maintenance for a set period of 10 years. With that being said, any issues with the HOA in this regard would need to be taken up with the HOA.

    Thank you for using Engage Camas and thank you for your question. Homeowners’ associations (HOAs) are regulated by the State of Washington under RCW 64.38 and 64.90. These laws include rules related to community management, board meetings, and homeowner rights. The City does not regulate HOA operations or intervene in matters between HOAs and homeowners.

     Please note, any fire safety hazards or concerns should be directed to the Camas-Washougal Fire Marshal’s Office.
