Clackamas County tentatively supports lawsuit over waste fees April 01 2021
Board unanimously passes initial ordinance change to allow court action holding Metro accountable for reductions in ratepayer waste fees. UPDATED FRIDAY, APRIL 2: Clackamas County commissioners were initially supportive of an ordinance change on waste disposal fees that would allow residents to pursue a legal action against Metro for allegedly breaking its charter.
County commissioners unanimously passed the first of two public readings of the ordinance after hearing public testimony on Tuesday, April 1.
According to John DiLorenzo attorney for David Hoover, Thomas Riley and other garbage customers in Clackamas County and partner at Portland-based Davis Wright Tremaine the new ordinance would allow his clients to hold Metro accountable to charge fees only based only on the actual cost of providing waste service.

Mark Shull suggests disbanding Clackamas County veterans council
Move follows meeting where elected commissioner spoke with advisory group to discuss derogatory statements.
Clackamas County is investigating whether its Veterans Advisory Council (VAC) improperly used time to engage in a dialogue with Commissioner Mark Shull regarding disparaging statements he made on Facebook regarding Muslims and other groups.
During their March 4 meeting, Shull suggested to his fellow county commissioners that its VAC be dissolved in its current form and re-established using an application process looking at the military biographies of those interested in serving on the committee. Shull, a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, said the goal of this reform would be to strip the council of any partisanship.
