City of Portland (OR)
http://www.portlandonline.com/
The City of Portland is a full service city that is home to over 560,000 residents within 145 square miles in northwestern Oregon. Located astride the Willamette River at its confluence with the Columbia River, Portland is the center of commerce, industry, transportation, finance, and services for a metropolitan area of more than two million people. Portland is the largest city in Oregon, the seat of Multnomah County, and the second largest city in the Pacific Northwest.
The City of Portland was incorporated in 1851 and, in 1913, a modified commission form of government was created under which Portland still operates today, rare in cities as large as Portland. Five nonpartisan Council members, called Commissioners, including the Mayor are elected at-large to four-year terms. These elected positions are fulltime and salaried. The Mayor and Commissioners act as legislators and administrators who are responsible for enacting and enforcing City laws and administering bureaus under their supervision. The Mayor decides which bureaus the Commissioners will manage. The City of Portland employs over 5,900 employees and has a budget of about $2.75 billion.

http://www.co.clackamas.or.us/
Clackamas County, in north central Oregon, is one of the counties that make up the Portland, Oregon, metropolitan area. It is bounded by Multnomah County to the north, Wasco County to the east, Marion County to the south, and Yamhill and Washington Counties to the west. The county encompasses 1,879 square miles (4,866.6 square kilometers).
The County is governed by a five-member commission that appoints a county administrator. Commissioners are elected to four-year terms. Other county elected officials include a district attorney, assessor, clerk, sheriff and treasurer. The county encompasses all or part of 15 cities and four county urban renewal districts (Clackamas Industrial Area, Clackamas Town Center, Government Camp and the North Clackamas Revitalization Area).
Metro
Metro People places. Open spaces.
Clean air and clean water do not stop at city limits or county lines. Neither does the need for jobs, a thriving economy and good transportation choices for people and businesses in our region. Voters have asked Metro to help with the challenges that cross those lines and affect the 25 cities and three counties in the Portland metropolitan area.
A regional approach simply makes sense when it comes to protecting open space, caring for parks, planning for the best use of land, managing garbage disposal and increasing recycling. Metro oversees world-class facilities such as the Oregon Zoo, which contributes to conservation and education, and the Oregon Convention Center, which benefits the region’s economy.
Multnomah County (OR)
Multnomah County is Oregon's smallest and most populous county with over 710,000 residents. Multnomah County is governed by a Board of four elected Commissioners and one Chair. More than 4,500 Multnomah County employees provide citizens a wide range of health and human services, public safety services and other government services.
