Following months of back-and-forth conversations about the city’s most pressing priorities and ways to fund them — including the passage of a new 2% utility tax on Camas’ water, sewer, garbage and wastewater utilities — the Camas City Council has unanimously approved Mayor Steve Hogan’s proposed $250,397,285 biennial budget for 2023-24.

The 2023-24 budget, said Camas Finance Director Cathy Huber Nickerson in her staff report to the city council on Monday, Dec. 5, “provides benefits for the whole city, from residents to businesses, early childhood learning to accessibility needs, physical safety to cybersecurity, planning for the city’s growth to rehabilitating current assets.”
