Council OKs $50,000 from restaurant‑tax funds to finish Camas civic plaza
Summary
Summit County approved a $50,000 allocation from restaurant‑tax county‑sponsored project funds to complete a concrete slab, landscaping and related site work at the county services building in Camas adjacent to Camas City Hall to create an event plaza.
County staff told the council that when the county completed a South Summit county services building it had an agreement with Camas City to build a shared parking area and finish complementary site work. Some promised county work (concrete slab, landscaping, and related site amenities) remained unfinished; the Camas mayor asked the county to complete the commitment.
Staff asked the council to authorize up to $50,000 from the restaurant‑tax county‑sponsored project set‑aside to complete the concrete slab and landscaping. Engineers had prepared grading and design work in house, but the county would likely hire a contractor for concrete pour and associated labor to avoid burdening road crews. Council members described the site as a pleasing community space and supported finishing the previously committed work; one councilor moved to approve the $50,000 allocation and another seconded the motion. The council approved the allocation by voice vote.
