FORM OF GOVERNMENT
The City of Camas was incorporated on June 2, 1906 and operates under laws of the state of Washington applicable to noncharter code cities with a mayor-council form of government. The city provides police, fire, ambulance service and emergency aid, streets, sanitation, health, recreation, library, public improvements, planning and zoning, water supply, treatment, and distribution, sewage collection and treatment services.
Of the seven elected council members, there is one elected at-large and six elected within wards. The Wards are established based on population estimates within the city's boundaries and are reviewed and modified periodically by Council. Every two years, part of the council body is elected and holds staggered four-year terms. |
