Directors and coordinators representing all nine watershed councils in Clackamas County attended a Council of Councils meeting on Marzo 1, 2022.

District Manager Chris Lapp and  staff member Cathy McQueeney represented the Clackamas SWCD.  The event was organized and facilitated by Alexis Barton of Tryon Creek Watershed Council and Neil Shulman of North Clackamas Watersheds Council.

¿Cuál es la finalidad del Consejo de Consejos?

El Consejo de Consejos brinda al grupo una excelente oportunidad de establecer contactos con colegas que representan a cuencas hidrográficas de todas las zonas del Distrito. Además, los participantes tienen la oportunidad de conocer a nuevos líderes y debatir sobre oportunidades creativas de asociarse para alcanzar objetivos comunes.

¿Cuál fue el resultado de la reunión?

Attendees shared best practices for developing financial management plans for their organizations.  They also discussed ways to optimize their resources and strengths as a collaborative unit.  Councils drew on their diversity to assist one another on these topics:

  • developing strong written financial policies and procedures – members of the councils will meet in late Marzo to address this topic more fully
  • exploring more ways to collaborate and not compete for limited funding
  • deciphering new infrastructure funding and finding ways to collaborate on shared projects
  • addressing inequity, both historically and in current program implementation
  • undertaking strategic planning, especially how the District’s upcoming planning process will impact future partner funding

Absence of Sandy River Watershed Council Noted

The Board of the Sandy River Watershed Council (SRWC) announced the dissolution of the SRWC at the end of 2021. Staffing losses, operation under limited funds, and the restricted conditions associated with the pandemic lead to financial difficulty. Consequently, it became increasingly difficult for the SRWC to fulfill all its obligations. After extensive review and consideration, the Board voted unanimously to dissolve the organization.
