The service-area breakdown rests on a COUNTY RECRUITMENT BULLETIN, not a policy page. The public Building Services pages do not state it anywhere, checked via two routes. RECOMMEND A CONFIRMING PHONE CALL to 503-846-3470 before publishing the city list as definitive. The Accela portal carries a live banner that Building Services, Current Planning and Code Compliance have reduced staffing due to revenue shortfalls. Relevant to turnaround expectations.
