A consultant’s report on some of Camas’ best-known public facilities — including Camas City Hall, the Camas library and three Camas-Washougal fire stations — shows the city is facing building deficiencies worth $35 million, including $17 million for issues city leaders should address in the next five years.

Camas Public Works Director Steve Wall gave Camas City Council members the highlights of the report during the Council’s July 18 workshop, and praised the work done by the city’s chosen consultant, Meng Analysis.
