* Are residents of the county struggling to afford housing?
* Are neighborhoods in need of improvements?
* How can we use limited federal grants most effectively?

Clackamas County Community Development Division is preparing a Consolidated Plan to prioritize spending from several federal grants (CDBG, ESG and HOME) over the next 5-years (2012-2016). Citizen input will help us assess needs and set priorities for selecting project activities. As part of that assessment, we would like to hear from you on what you see as the major needs in your community.

Click here to answer a short Clackamas County survey.

The survey will close on August 15, 2011.

Most Campbell students will attend Ardenwald and Lewelling next year, with a handful of students (within walking distance) moving to Linwood.

Hunger is a growing problem for families in Clackamas County, but volunteers serving the Backpack Buddies program are working to help children in need. The program, serving 800 students in 20 North Clackamas elementary schools, provides nutritious weekend food packages to children during the school year.

GracePointe Church, one of many program sponsors, will hold a July 22 benefit concert to help purchase food for their program, which serves kids at Lewelling Elementary. The event features the release of Scott Brockett's new CD, and the $10 admission cost includes a copy of the CD for each attendee.

Brockett was the 2010 winner of Portland Idol. Guest speaker David Sarasohn from The Oregonian will make a presentation during intermission.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. on July 22. The first set will begin at 7 p.m.
GracePointe Church at 10750 S.E. 42nd Avenue.
Tickets are $10 at the door.

We had a lively discussion at our monthly meeting last night about the art proposed for the Milwaukie area light rail stations. We agreed that everyone's taste in art varies with their experiences; some people prefer modern art, others are more traditional. The art to be installed in Milwaukie should be a reflection of Milwaukie. Please take a look at the proposals (linked below) and send your comments to either your or Tri Mets Public Art Coordinator,

Here is a link to a PDF of the proposals.

City of Milwaukie water crews began a comprehensive, systematic flushing of the water system in an area encompassing more than 7,000 customers on July 7, 2011. This coordinated program will clear pipes of sediment and dramatically reduce the potential of future brown water incidents. The program is expected to last about 10 days.


The flushing will be conducted between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., in the Hector Campbell, Lake Road and Linwood Neighborhoods, as well as in the International Way Industrial Area. Water crews will isolate six zones within the work area and will flush and clear pipes, primarily through opening fire hydrants, in each zone before moving on to the next one. City stormwater crews will be working in conjunction with the water crews to manage the water, and the water will be treated before entering the stormwater system.
During this flushing program customers may see discolored water in their faucets when crews are working in their immediate area. Should customers see discolored water, it’s best to run the bath tub cold water faucet until clear water returns. The City’s water is safe to drink, even when discolored.

Here is a link to a map of where crews are currently working.
