History
The county council was created on November 4, 2014, by Clark County voters as part of a home rule charter, which replaced the traditional three-member county commission with a three-member Board of County Councilors. The council was expanded to five members on January 1, 2016. The county council adopted its current name in January 2018.[1][2][page needed] Clark County was the seventh county in Washington to adopt a home rule charter.[3][4]
