Learn more about your CPO at www.clackamas.us/community/cpo It takes a village ... or hamlet There are three established hamlets: Hamlet of Beavercreek, Mulino Hamlet and Stafford Hamlet. If you live in one of these communities, get involved with your neighbors! Each hamlet has unique goals and activities, but they share a common interest in retaining the flavor of their community, promoting activities to benefit the community, working with the county and other organizations, and providing their residents increased access to and information about the county. www.clackamas.us/community/ handv.html Give your testimony at a board meeting The Board of County Commissioners set county policies, establish departmental budgets, and have the right to send countywide measures to the ballot.
