Multnomah County Vector Control and Enforcement
Advisory Committee

Mission:

The mission of Multnomah County Vector and Nuisance Control (MCVNC) is to promote community livability by managing vector-borne diseases through surveillance, suppression of vector populations and code enforcement to maintain and support those actions. MCVNC works in cooperation with surrounding communities and other entities to address emerging vector-borne disease issues.

Multnomah County Vector and Code Enforcement Advisory Committee:

The advisory committee was developed in 2005 as a means to acquire diverse community views and recommendations on the full range of Vector Control and Enforcement activities, so that we are better able to accomplish our agency’s mission. Some examples of topics that MCVNC may seek input from the committee are:

• Should Multnomah County create an enforcement ordinance to assure that mosquito breeding sites, like abandoned swimming pools, are cleaned or treated?


• Advice on developing education messages that are understandable and meaningful.


• Should Multnomah County have a comprehensive system in place for disposal of solid waste to reduce illegal dumping?


• Advice on developing a rodent control plan in public parks.

Committee Members:

After a comprehensive application and scoring process, nine community members with varying backgrounds were appointed by the Board of County Commissioners to the advisory committee for a three-year term. The committee meets approximately 2 hours per month. Committee member appointments will be staggered so that all nine members will not leave the committee at each time. If you are interested in becoming a future member email lyonsk@co.multnomah.or.us for more information and to complete an application.
