Marc joined the City Council on November 6, 2008, after he was elected to fill an open, unexpired term. Before joining the Council, Marc worked on the City’s Planning Commission and the Committee for Citizen Involvement. Marc believes in strong public involvement, a strong Visioning process, good planning for downtown, effective economic development, and attention to detail across the wide range of services the City offers to its residents, employers, and employees.
Marc is one of Beaverton’s three representatives to the Joint Water Commission, the inter-governmental agency which supplies the City of Beaverton’s drinking water. Marc also serves Washington County as chair of its Planning Commission, and works on the Beaverton Area Chamber of Commerce’s Business Advisory Council.
Marc has worked in the computer software industry for over 28 years, most of those in Beaverton. He earned a BA in Physics and Music from Dartmouth College in 1978, and an MA in Music Composition from the University of California, San Diego, in 1980. Marc is married to Kathryn Harrington, and lives in northwest Beaverton, near 180th Ave. and Walker Rd.
Beaverton has a storied and outstanding history. We have to respect that history as we achieve our desired future for the city. We have great neighborhoods, great schools, great parks, and a great new vision for the heart of our community. As we grow, I want to see new development bring great places for living, people-friendly open spaces, high quality building design, and new employers with good jobs for our residents. At the same time, we must pay careful attention to improving transportation, to maintaining robust infrastructure, and to enhancing our important places. I also want to get more people involved with their neighborhoods, with city events and projects, and with our advisory committees.
