On September 6, 2011, the Port approved a resolution authorizing a re-drawing of commission district boundaries, and on February 1, 2012, the legislature passed into law the state-wide plan submitted by the State Redistricting Commission. On April 30th, affected voters and jurisdictions will be notified of precinct changes. Specifically, the Elections Department will mail new voter registration identification cards to all voters who have had any change made to their voting precinct or district(s) (including port commissioner districts). Also included will be information about the type of change to their precinct or district. Note the effective date is December 17, 2012.

The Port of Camas/Washougal, a political subdivision of the State of Washington, was established in 1935 to create a favorable climate for economic development in the Camas/Washougal area. The policy board for the Port is made up of three commissioners who are elected to 4-year terms by the voters residing within the Port district. The Commission is the Port district’s governing body responsible for setting policy and enforcing established policies. The Commission may exercise only the powers that are delegated to them by law or pursuant to law.

RCW 29A.76.010 states that ‘each commissioner district shall be as nearly equal in population as possible to each and every other such district.’ The 2010 census data showed an unequal division among the three districts (see current map above), and in 2011 the Port conducted a public process to adopt new boundary lines. On Sept. 6, 2011 the Board adopted Resolution 7-11, which was submitted to Clark County Elections and forwarded to the Washington State Redistricting Commission.

[NOTE: The re-drawn boundaries will not be effective until December 17, 2012.]
