Mayor's Note (April 2022)

Mayor Frank Bubenik Headshot

Each year, the City Council gathers with executive staff to review our accomplishments from the year before and track our progress towards meeting the City Council’s 2030 Vision. Our 2030 Vision includes seven statements that indicate where we want to go as a community. They guide what the City Council chooses to prioritize and the work the organization takes on. 

Our statements read:  

  • An INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY that promotes equity, diversity, and access in creating a meaningful quality of life for everyone. 
  • A CONNECTED, INFORMED, and civically ENGAGED community that embraces our City's diversity. 
  • A thriving and diversified ECONOMY that includes living wage jobs, increased tourism, and sustained financial stability for the whole city. 
  • Safe, vibrant, and accessible GATHERING PLACES throughout the city that build and celebrate our whole community. 
  • An efficient, accessible, innovative, sustainable, and connected TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM that effectively and safely meets the needs of our entire community. 
  • Safe, desirable, welcoming, and sustainable NEIGHBORHOODS with housing that is available for all. 
  • An ENVIRONMENTALLY active, sustainable, responsible, and forward-thinking community that values and protects our natural resources, inhabitants, and habitat. 

We met last month for our 2030 Vision Midterm Check-in and reviewed many completed, ongoing, and upcoming activities. I encourage you to visit our website and check out the presentation. I’m excited about the direction we’re headed and proud of all the hard work our City Council and staff have taken on to get there.  

Let us know your thoughts! You can reach the entire City Council by emailing council@tualatin.gov or by providing comments during one of our twice-monthly meetings.
