Clark County 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.

Two terms on the Commission begin October 2024 and end December 2027. One term begins January 2025 and ends December 2027.

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 6 to 8 p.m. on the first Wednesday of every other month, starting in February. Meetings can be attended in-person or virtually via Teams.

Applicants must be residents of Clark County, either in unincorporated areas of the county or in a city or town. 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. The county is looking for applicants from historically underserved or underrepresented populations including people who can bring ethnic, cultural, and geographic diversity to the group.

Residents with a passion for the area’s streams and rivers and the ability to commit to volunteer hours beyond the six annual meetings are encouraged to apply.

To apply, interested residents should submit a letter of interest and resume to Clark County Public Works Clean Water Division, Devan Rostorfer, P.O. Box 5000, Vancouver WA 98660-5000 or via email to cleanwater@clark.wa.gov.

Applications must be received by 5 p.m. Monday, Sept. 9.
