The Camas and Washougal City councils will soon discuss the possibility of extending the trial merger of the cities' fire departments for up to two years. Those discussions are expected to occur in February, according to Washougal Fire Department Chief Ron Schumacher.

The Camas City Council will likely approve a resolution that exempts the School District from paying thousands of dollars in traffic impact fees for the Woodburn Elementary School project, but they stopped short of agreeing to consider changing city code so that the same exemption would apply to all future projects. During the Jan. 3 workshop, Camas School District Superintendent Mike Nerland and Capital Programs Manager Heidi Rosenberg asked that the city waive approximately $143,250 in TIF fees on the Woodburn Elementary project. Construction began on the district's sixth elementary school, located on a 12.8-acre site just north of Lacamas Park on Crown Road, in August and it will open in fall 2013. Approximately 400 homes are expected to eventually be included in the subdivision surrounding the new school. Rosenberg said the formal request was being made because the district wants to focus its dollars on classroom improvements.
The City of Camas will hold its annual planning conference later this month.
