The governing power is vested in the Board of Trustees appointed by the Board of County Commissioners to serve without pay for a four-year term of office. The Board of Trustees meet regularly each month, on the first Tuesday at 2:30pm, and all meetings are open to the public. At each January meeting the Board elects a Chairperson, Vice Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer. The Board employs a District Director to carry out the policies established by the Board.
Goals
The Clackamas County Vector Control District is responsible for control of flies and mosquitoes within Clackamas County. Control of these vectors is not intended to be total eradication since the concept of total eradication is unachievable and environmentally unsound, requiring unacceptable quantities of pesticide. The goals of the District, therefore, are to limit the number of vectors thus reducing annoyance and the likelihood of vector borne disease for persons living in the District.
Regular Meeting of the Board of Trustees
Next meeting will be Tuesday, March 6, 2012 at 2:30 PM at the Vector Control office (1102 Abernethy Rd. Oregon City)
