The city of Camas is accepting applications for the Camas City Council Ward 2, Position 1 seat left vacant this month after the resignation of council member Bonnie Carter. The city will accept applications through Friday, March 14. 

Interested applicants can apply for the remainder of Carter’s term, beginning upon swearing in and ending Dec. 31, 2027.  Applicants must be a resident of the city of Camas’ Ward 2, and must be a registered voter. 

Camas Mayor Steve Hogan this week appointed city council members Marilyn Boerke and John Nohr to work with Camas City Administrator Doug Quinn as an ad-hoc committee overseeing the appointment process. 

City leaders have until May 8 to fill Carter’s seat, but hope to fill the position by the council’s April 21 meeting. If the position remains unfilled as of May 8, the Clark County Council will appoint a new Camas City Council member.
