Camas Mayor Pro Tem Ellen Burton has announced plans to hire an interim city administrator to help run the city after current City Administrator Jamal Fox leaves his position on July 9.

“This is an extremely important role managing the day to day operations,” Burton said during the Camas City Council’s virtual town hall on Monday, June 14. “If you think about it from a business perspective, this is kind of like the chief operating officer. This is a very key role, and we all recognize that.”
