If you live in one of these communities, get involved with your neighbors! Each hamlet has unique goals and activities, but they share a common interest in retaining the flavor of their community, promoting activities to benefit the community, working with the county and other organizations, and providing their residents increased access to information about the county. www.clackamas.us/community/ hamlets-villages Give your testimony at a board meeting The Board of County Commissioners sets county policies, establishes departmental budgets, and has the right to send countywide measures to the ballot. The public is welcome to provide comment to the board at any Business Meeting on Thursdays. Register online for public communication via Zoom; if you are coming in person there will be a blue card at the door to fill out.
