On September 6, 2011, the Port Commission adopted Resolution 7-11 providing for a re-drawing of the commissioner district boundaries. Scroll down to learn more about the process and to see the map showing the commissioner-approved re-drawn boundary lines.
The Port of Camas/Washougal, a political subdivision of the State of Washington, was established in 1935 to create a favorable climate for economic development in the Camas/Washougal area. The policy board for the Port is made up of three commissioners who are elected to 4-year terms by the voters residing within the Port district. The Commission is the Port district’s governing body responsible for setting policy and enforcing established policies. The Commission may exercise only the powers that are delegated to them by law or pursuant to law.

RCW 29A.76.010 states that ‘each commissioner district shall be as nearly equal in population as possible to each and every other such district.’ The 2010 census data shows an unequal division among the three districts as currently drawn (see above map), and the Port has undergone a public process to adopt new boundary lines. A public hearing was held August 16, 2011. On Sept. 6, 2011 the Board adopted Resolution 7-11, which was submitted to Clark County Elections. The legislature has final approval, anticipated in 2012.
Clark County GIS prepared the map to the right showing proposed new boundary lines. Click on the map and zoom in to see how this may affect your vote. [NOTE: The new district boundaries do not affect the sitting commissioners or those candidates running for office in the 2011 election. The re-drawn boundaries will not come into play in a Port election until 2013.]
