The City of Camas commits to preserving its heritage, sustaining and enhancing a high quality of life for all its citizens and developing the community to meet the challenges of the future. We take pride in preserving a healthful environment while promoting economic growth.

The following are the Boards and Commissions for the City of Camas as of January 1, 2021.
The City maintains and updates a Pavement Preservation Plan that includes all streets within the City of Camas. The City uses several different methods to preserve roads and to protect the public’s investment in its transportation infrastructure.
This road work does disrupt drivers, and in some cases, requires roads to be temporarily closed.
When a street is closed for a surface treatment, construction workers will allow police cars, fire engines and ambulances responding to emergencies to drive through the work zone.
The mission of the Communications Department is to gather and share information to support and encourage open, participatory government and an informed community.

Why does the Fire Department conduct fire and life safety inspections?
Regular fire and life safety inspections are a critical part of fire prevention. Inspectors enforce the International Fire Code during these inspections, working to detect fire hazards and minimize the risk of life and property loss from fire. These inspections also help to promote safe practices by creating an awareness of fire and its potential for occurrence.
