Vancouver, Wash. – When winter weather strikes, Clark County Public Works is ready to respond. Our roads maintenance and operations crews are located at six “sheds” spread throughout the county, so we can respond quickly and efficiently to the unique conditions that may occur in different locations of the unincorporated area.
Each fall, we prepare our staff and equipment so we’re ready to respond to whatever conditions winter weather brings to Clark County. In addition to snow and ice, we are prepared to respond to water over roadways, clogged catch basins, downed trees and branches, and similar weather-related issues. “Our crews are prepared for any weather events that our region may experience,” said Josh Lipscomb, Road Maintenance and Operations division manager.
We prioritize arterials and collectors for plowing, sanding and deicing. Arterials are the main roads that provide access to highways and freeways and are our top priority. Collectors are roads that provide access to arterials and are the second priority. An interactive map of primary and secondary plowing/deicing routes can be found at clark.wa.gov/public-works/winter-snow-and-ice. Residents should report hazardous road conditions in unincorporated county at clark.wa.gov/public-works/report-park-road or by calling 564.397.2446. Additional resources for reporting hazards in other jurisdictions in Clark County are listed on the webpage listed above. Downed power lines and trees endangering lines should be reported to Clark Public Utilities at 360.992.3000 or at clarkpublicutilties.com.
We divert traffic or close a road when necessary for the public’s safety and to protect infrastructure. We share information, including detours and closures, with the public as soon as it is available. In addition to road closures, we may close roads or parks and natural areas in response to rising rivers or streams, downed trees and other hazards. Residents can get information about closures and incident response on our social media profiles, on our homepage at clark.wa.gov/public-works, or by signing up for email notifications using the email signup button on our homepage. We also share closure and response information with local TV and radio stations and newspapers.
Drivers are reminded that going slow, no matter the weather, helps keep road workers, drivers and their passengers safe. “When we are in the community responding by clearing or treating roads, the public can contribute to our success by providing room for our crews to work, reporting issues they encounter, and adhering to closures and detours,” said Lipscomb. “The most beneficial contribution is to slow down, which helps our crews focus on the issue rather than traffic and gets the public to where they are headed.”
For information about road and park projects, closures, opportunities for community input, and more, residents can follow Public Works on X (formerly known as Twitter), Facebook and Instagram and view information on Nextdoor. Residents can also visit clark.wa.gov/public-works to sign up for email notifications.

Vancouver, Wash. – Clark County Community Services has published the most recent Clark County Community Needs Assessment Report and made it available on the county’s website. The report is available in English, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian and Chuukese. This report outlines the needs and priorities within the Clark County community as identified by people and households experiencing economic hardship.
The information in the Community Needs Assessment Report may be useful to various organizations for formulating policy, program, or funding decisions affecting persons who face the challenges commonly associated with poverty.
This assessment, conducted by the Community Action, Housing, and Development unit of Clark County Community Services is required to be conducted every three years by the Community Services Block Grant Act. The report, the process used to develop the report, and appendices are available at https://clark.wa.gov/community-services/community-needs-assessment-overview.
Direct feedback was collected from persons and households who are struggling financially via a comprehensive survey covering seven areas of need. The survey was open from Feb. 2, 2023, through April 14, 2023, and distributed by more than 100 service organizations throughout Clark County in English, Spanish, Russian, Vietnamese and Chuukese. The survey was also available online in English, Spanish, Russian and Vietnamese. The survey received 893 responses, coming from every zip code in the county. Analysis of survey responses to understand the needs identified, conduct statistical validation, and check response-bias took place during the summer and fall of 2023. County staff conducted community forums in January 2024 to present the information obtained from the survey and collect qualitative feedback through group discussions. Information from the forums was also included in the final report.

Vancouver, Wash. – Clark County residents who are among the millions of people buying natural Christmas trees this holiday season can utilize local recycling options to give their trees purpose long after the holidays are over.
Recycled Christmas trees are chipped into mulch – a natural and low-cost product that can help conserve water and beautify garden beds and landscaping. When organic waste, like trees, is left to rot in landfills it creates methane, a toxic greenhouse gas.
Before recycling a natural tree, all lights, tinsel, wire, ornaments and stands must be removed. Flocked and artificial trees cannot be recycled and should be placed in the garbage. Artificial trees in good condition may be donated to thrift stores or through buy-nothing groups.
Waste Connections will pick up trees from customers with yard debris or organics collection. Taller trees must be cut into pieces no longer than 5 feet. Customers can place tree pieces inside or next to their yard debris or organics cart for pickup on their scheduled service day. An additional fee applies if the tree is in addition to a full yard debris or organics cart.
Residents can also recycle trees of any size for a small fee (typically $5 or less) at the following locations:
- Central Transfer and Recycling, 11034 NE 117th Ave., 360.256.8482
- City Bark, 2419 NE Andresen Road, 360.253.8461
- H&H Wood Recyclers, 8401 NE 117th Ave., 360.892.2805
- McFarlane's Bark, 8806 NE 117th Ave., 360.892.6125
- Triangle Resources, 612 SE Union St., Camas, 360.834.7253
- West Van Materials Recovery Center, 6601 NW Old Lower River Road, 360.737.1727
Scouting America will collect trees for recycling in many areas of Clark County on Saturday, Jan. 4. The service is free, but donations will be accepted. Flyers will be distributed in many neighborhoods where pickup is available. The Scout Tree Recycling website also has information about neighborhoods with pickup service and contact information.
Waste Connections customers who do not have yard debris or organics service can put cut trees next to their garbage carts and pay for an extra 32-gallon collection. Trees collected with garbage will be sent to the landfill and won’t be recycled.
For more information on holiday waste recycling and disposal, visit the Clark County Green Neighbors website.

Long-term funding solutions need to be addressed in 2025
Vancouver, Wash. – The Clark County Council this week voted 3-2 to approve the annual budget for 2025. The total expense budget for 2025 is $871.74 million.
The county’s budget has an ongoing structural deficit, a systemic problem that results from expenses growing faster than revenues. The approved budget addresses urgent and immediate needs; however, it does not encompass many areas where additional funding will be required in future years. The recommended property tax levy options, including 1% increases for the General Fund, Road Fund, Conservation Futures Fund (with banked capacity), and the Greater Clark Parks District Fund (with banked capacity), were not approved. The council voted to bank the capacity for each of the levies for potential future use.
County Manager Kathleen Otto recommended a budget to the county council that prioritized maintaining appropriate reserve levels, minimizing service impacts on residents, and addressing critical needs and liabilities.
“I want to extend my sincere gratitude to all departments and elected officials for their budget submissions and for collaborating with me throughout the budget process,” said Otto. “I am continually impressed by the dedication to public service and deeply appreciate the ongoing efforts of all staff to ensure we deliver quality services to our community.”
Otto said she will hold planning sessions for the new council in early 2025 to develop strategies for addressing projected shortfalls in the 2026 budget process and beyond.
Information on the county budget can be found on the county website at clark.wa.gov/budget. Videos of the budget hearings will be available at clark.wa.gov/councilors/clark-county-council-meetings.

Vancouver, Wash. – Clark County District Court’s DUI Court held an event today, Nov. 26, to kick-off National Impaired Driving Prevention Month which runs through the end of December. During the event, District Court representatives encouraged attendees to take a pledge to not drive while impaired from alcohol or drugs.
The event was held at the courthouse and included presentations from Target Zero and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). District Court Administrator Bryan Farrell also read a statement from Washington Traffic Safety Commission.
AllRise (formerly the National Association of Drug Court Professionals) describes the season between Thanksgiving and News Year’s Day as, “one of the deadliest and most dangerous times on America’s roadways due to an increase in impaired driving.”
The written pledge is on the county’s website. District Court encourages residents to take the pledge and encourage friends and family to do the same. Participants signing the pledge agree to:
- Protect lives by never drinking and driving or taking drugs that can impair driving.
- Be a good passenger and speak out if someone who is alcohol or drug impaired wants to drive.
- Encourage friends and family to drive alcohol and drug free.
Vancouver, Wash. – The Clark County Climate Project Environmental Justice Coalition will meet at 3:30 pm on Monday, Dec. 2.
The Environmental Justice Coalition (EJC) consists of 15 community-based organizations. The group is helping the county meet the public engagement and environmental justice requirements of new state Climate Change Planning legislation, in which the county is now required to add a Climate Element to its Comprehensive Plan. The legislation emphasizes that planning and policy decisions related to climate change do not impact us all in the same way. The EJC is one of three advisory groups supporting the county’s Climate Project.
EJC meetings are held at 3:30 pm the first Monday of each month. While EJC members typically attend virtually, meetings are held in a hybrid format with both in-person and virtual participation options. Attend in Room 698 of the Public Service Center, 1300 Franklin St., or join virtually through information provided at: https://clark.wa.gov/community-planning/environmental-justice-coalition.
The meeting is open to the public and includes a brief public comment period. A recording of the meeting will also be available for viewing afterwards.
To learn more about county climate planning, sign up for project updates, submit a comment, review meeting recordings, or learn about future environmental justice coalition meetings, please visit the project website at https://clark.wa.gov/community-planning/climate-change-planning.
The county’s Climate Project is being funded by a state grant. The Washington Department of Commerce climate planning grant is supported with funding from Washington’s Climate Commitment Act (CCA). The CCA supports Washington’s climate action efforts by putting cap-and-invest dollars to work reducing climate pollution, creating jobs, and improving public health. Information about the CCA is available at www.climate.wa.gov.

What: The DUI Court team invites you to join us for our first National Impaired Driving Prevention Month “kick-off” event to call attention to this important cause.

- Protect lives by never drinking and driving or taking drugs that can impair driving.
- Be a good passenger and speak out if someone who is alcohol- or drug-impaired wants to drive.
- Encourage friends and family to drive alcohol and drug free.
We hope our community will join our participants and team in signing the pledge.
