Performance Clackamas is a strategic plan and process modeled after a process known as Managing for Results, which has been used successfully in cities and counties throughout the United States.
Clackamas County adopted Performance Clackamas in 2014, and our living plan is updated when appropriate. The current plan was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners in July 2025.
Performance Clackamas focuses on measurable goals encompassed by five strategic priorities:
- Safe, Secure and Livable Communities
- Vibrant Economy
- Public Trust in Good Government
- Healthy People
- Strong Infrastructure
