Mt. Hood CPO Meeting on Clackamas County Code

Thursday, July 7, 2011

by

Mt Hood Community Planning Organization

Special Guest:Kimberly Benthin, Code Compliance Specialist, Clackamas County

July 7, 2011 7-9:00 PM

Dorman Community Center, 24500 E Salmon River Road, Welches, Oregon

Come ask questions about county permit requirements, etc.

· Does the county enforce code retroactively on, for example, a 40 year old cabin built before current codes were in effect?

· How can we foster an atmosphere where people feel safe getting building permits?

· What needs permitting and what does not? If a homeowner does his/her own repairs, is a permit needed?

· Can builders and homeowners follow verbal "okays" from county code enforcement staff?

· Get an update on permit process for homes with flood damage or potential flood damage

· Will the county work with owners or contractors to mitigate fines? And conversely, when some contractors flaunt all rules and sanctions are not enforced, why should others "toe the line?"

Builders and Homeowners can get answers from County staff at the July meeting of MHC-CPO

If you missed the story on OPB today live at Timberline Lodge you can catch the podcast here. OPB, Oregon Public Broadcasting, is presenting a series called Mt. Hood Inc. This series is to cover the "value" of Mt. Hood, economically and otherwise.

Beginning the week of June 13th the following areas will be covered on OPB:

Business, Jobs, Products, Brand, Costs and Economic Impact

Find more news, photos and details to follow the week's stories check here.

This gives a valuable background of many details about our Mt. Hood area from tourism, to jobs, numbers of visitors, how people feel about the mountain and more. This will be likely the most comprehensive analysis of the mountain area that has been done in a long time.

For example, did you know that 1.7 million dollars of board feet of timber was cut in the Mt. Hood National Forest in 2010?

Government Camp Looses County Funds

Monday, May 9, 2011

by Liz Warren

Lets face it, budgets are tight and Clackamas County is one large county cutting back on expenses. Locals and visitors alike have been amazed at the transformation of Government Camp from the sleepy ski town to a bustling beautifully developed environment that it is today. Streetlights, paved sidewalks, paved and plowed streets are a couple of improvements from the urban renewal district which was formed in 1989.

At the tune of around $20,000 per year, Clackamas County had arranged to keep the sidewalks cleared and streets lit for the past five years. Now, time is up and Government Camp must find a way to pay for these amenities on their own.

Incorporation failed on the May 2010 ballot so alternative actions are sought by residents on how to pay for these items. Options include a road district or a county service district. Both have their downfalls.

Meanwhile meetings are in the works on how to solve the funding issues for these improvements. More details may be found in this Oregonian article.
