City Council News and Updates

April 22:
Monday evening we received a report on an excellent audit of our Municipal Court operations by the National Center for State Courts. Our Council funded the study, the latest in a series of operational audits the city performs regularly. Over 50 detailed recommendations were issued, and our court staff and judges will be working with Council and the Mayor's office to implement appropriate changes. Good study!

Here's a link to the presentation. A Council discussion with staff about the detailed recommendations will be coming up in May or June. The detailed report will be available in advance of that meeting.

April 11:
At Monday evening's Council meeting, we'll hear an exciting update on the Civic Plan work, and on the zoning code changes recently approved by the Planning Commission. We'll also honor a new City Historian, and will share some words on behalf of Bruce Dalrymple. Broadcast live on Ch 30, or streamed to the web for viewing anytime.

“Marc is doing a fantastic job as a City Councilor. He brings a positive energy, thoughtfulness, and wide-ranging attention to detail that helps me, our staff, and the Council do better work for the City. We really need to keep Marc on the City Council.”

Mayor Denny Doyle

"We believe that Marc San Soucie has earned election to a four-year term… San Soucie understands the role of the council in setting public policy and priorities versus managing the day-to-day operations of City Hall. He supports the city’s visioning process and favors more emphasis on job creation... In the May 18 primary, elect San Soucie ... to the Beaverton City Council."

"San Soucie, the council president, is known to be a thoughtful, reasonable consensus builder who works well with the council, staff and people who do business with the city. Indeed, he seems to have few critics for the job he has done since joining the council in 2008."
