The Columbia County Board of Commissioners consists of three officials who are elected in non-partisan races every four years. Operating out of the county seat of St. Helens, the Board is responsible for some of the most important issues the community needs to thrive and be prosperous. Commission meetings are held on Wednesdays at or after 10:00 a.m. in the John Gumm Building and Civic Center Auditorium, unless otherwise noticed.
