The Clackamas County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) are expected to
hold a final public hearing of the repeal of county regulations for Short Term
Rentals (STRs) in the unincorporated areas of the county during September.
The hearing was initially scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 8 during a meeting
in June, but the county could not confirm this as an agenda item as of
Monday, Aug. 29.

15 community members from the Mountain community spoke at the June
meeting, and public comments are expected to be received during a potential
September meeting. The commissioners were expected to hold policy sessions
this summer in an attempt to draft an alternative program before the
September meeting.

The BCC will also hold a joint session on Wednesday, Sept. 7 with
commissioners from Hood River and Multnomah Counties following the
resignation of State Rep. Anna Williams to interview candidates and select a
replacement for the open House District 52 position. Oregon law requires that
a legislative vacancy be filled by county commissioners representing the
district in which the vacancy exists. House District 52 spreads across parts of
the three counties.

Finalists were selected by the local Democratic Party (as outlined by state
law), since Williams belongs to that party. County commissioners have no
involvement in the selection of finalists. The three finalists are: Kristen Dillon,
Lori Kuechler and Nicholas Walden Poublon.

The person selected will fill the remainder of Williams’ term, which runs
through December of this year.

The meeting will be held from 3-5 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 7, over Zoom.
The public is welcome to virtually attend the proceedings over Zoom and
provide comments during the designated time. Connectivity information can
be found at https://www.clackamas.us/meetings/bcc/other/2022-09-07. The
meeting will be posted later to the county’s YouTube channel and the
Clackamas County Government Channel.
