If the initial risk assessment scores above 75, or if an encampment on a two-week grace period receives a follow-up score above 50, campers will be notified of the County's intent to close the encampment for cleaning. The notice could be as long as 5 days or as short as 72 hours, depending on the specific circumstances. In addition to personal contact, notices will be posted advising residents of the cleanup and the need to remove their personal property from the site. Any remaining items will be carefully inspected and those that are "reasonably recognizable as belonging to a person and that has apparent utility" will be inventoried, bagged and stored for a period of 45 days. Campers will be notified where and how they can retrieve their abandoned personal property at a later date.

Since our engineering review guidelines allow for interpretations by design engineer, if there is a conflict in opinion that is not clear in the code, we defer to the design engineer's determinations.

Key components of the program will be absorbed into overlapping County departments. For instance:
The original Washington County 2000 Strategic Plan was adopted in the late 1980s by the Board of County Commissioners. This plan identified service delivery roles, principles and priorities for the organization. The board adopted minor adjustments in the early 1990s, after a two-year review process and public hearings. The 1993-94 version was the last time the board officially changed the Strategic Plan. A brief effort to update the plan in 2005-2010 was not ultimately adopted by the board.
The criminal justice and behavioral health systems can sometimes overlap. Washington County staff from various departments and programs have worked together for years to maintain the balance between equal justice and community safety. Over the past few years, several procedures have been created to minimize local jail time for aid and assist defendants and maximize public safety:
You are automatically granted a one-week grace period from the court appearance date on your citation. You do not need to contact the court for this extension. It is granted automatically.
You also have the option to make a written plea. You will need to post the full presumptive fine along with a letter to the Judge. A written explanation will be given the same consideration as a personal appearance. If the fine is reduced, a refund will be sent by mail so please make sure to include a valid mailing address if you choose this option.
