The Clark County manager is seeking to fill three open positions on the Clean Water Commission, an advisory group representing the community’s needs and interests in stormwater management decisions. 

The nine-member group makes recommendations to the Clark County Council about services and policies protecting watershed health throughout the community, and collaborates with residents, agencies, businesses and nonprofit organizations. The commission meets from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on the first Wednesday of every other month, starting in January. Currently, meetings can be attended in-person or virtually via WebEx.

Applicants must be residents of Clark County, living in either an unincorporated area of the county or in a city or town. The Commission positions’ terms begin in January 2023 and end in December 2025.

Professional experience in stormwater management is not required. Applicants with an interest in water quality, data and program analysis, education and outreach, or experience advocating for the environment are encouraged to apply. 

In seeking to represent the community’s diversity, applicants are encouraged to request interpretation, translated materials, or assistance overcoming challenges to meeting participation, if needed, by emailing pw.outreach@clark.wa.gov or calling 564-397-1679. Interpretation and translation are available, upon request, for all commission meetings, communications and materials. 

To apply, interested residents should submit a letter of interest and a resume to Clark County Public Works Clean Water Division c/o Brent Davis, PO Box 5000, Vancouver WA 98660-5000 or via email to cleanwater@clark.wa.gov. 

Applications must be submitted by noon Monday, Oct. 31.
