Faced with aging facilities that could require quite a bit of maintenance in the near future, Camas city officials have agreed to hire a Seattle firm to provide a detailed facilities assessment of 10 city structures totaling 162,424 square feet.
“The city’s existing buildings are aging and, unfortunately, the city has consistently deferred maintenance and capital improvements through the years,” Camas Public Works Operations Supervisor Denis Ryan told Camas City Council members and Mayor Ellen Burton in early September. “That has led to non-functioning systems and costly repairs that are anticipated to continue unless the city takes steps to get ahead of things.”
