The Clackamas County Board of County Commissioners has scheduled public hearings on the draft "Hamlet and Village Ordinance" for June 30th and August 4th. Both will be held at 10:00 a.m. in Public Services Building Fourth Floor Hearing Room, 2051 Kaen Road in Oregon City.
  This draft ordinance is the result of work of a citizen task force, county staff and consultants to develop models that provide unincorporated communities with more local control. "We listened to our citizens and appreciate their input," said Clackamas County Commission Chair Martha Schrader. "This led to the creation of the draft Hamlet and Village Ordinance."
  The commission also has accepted the summary report of the April 9 Congress IV for Complete Communities. It includes summaries of all the presentations, discussions and responses to comment forms.
  For a copy of the draft ordinance and Congress IV report, refer to the County's Web site at www.co.clackamas.or.us/community or contact Suzanne Roberts, Cogan Owens Cogan, at 503-225-0192 or sroberts@coganowens.com.
