Clackamas County halts effort to repeal emergency declaration May 06 2021
UPDATE: Board tables discussion on rescinding housing measure; Chair Tootie Smith blames panic stirred by email campaign.
UPDATED THURSDAY, MAY 6, 12:40 P.M.: The Clackamas Board of County Commissioners has decided, for now, not to end an emergency housing declaration nearly three months before its scheduled sunset. The board s decision Thursday, May 6, to stall their action on ending the declaration came after a somewhat bitter discussion over whether rescinding the emergency order would impact the county s ability to be agile in responding to safety threats to Clackamas County s unhoused populations caused by extreme weather events such as ice storms, wildfires or heat. It is set to expire on Aug. 1, 2021, but has been renewed by the board each of the last four years.

Kate Brown is saving by shutting down indoor dining at restaurants and bars on April 30. More than 700 hospitalizations for COVID-19 will also be prevented, Graven said at a press conference with Brown on Friday.
