Government

The City of Beaverton has a strong Mayor form of government. The Mayor is the executive and administrative head of the government of the City, and presides over the City Council. All powers of the City are vested in the City Council which consists of five councilors. The Mayor and City Councilors are all elected at large to serve four year terms.

The Mayor and City Council provide responsive, progressive leadership and a vision for our community. Among many other duties, City Government is responsible for planning, improving and maintaining the City's infrastructure, providing cost effective and responsive services to the community, ensuring long term financial stability, adopting budgets and directing City operations, projects and programs.

The Beaverton City Council Meetings are conducted in the Forrest C. Soth Council Chamber (first floor), City Hall, 4755 SW Griffith Drive, Beaverton. City Council meetings are generally held the first three Mondays of each month. All City Council Meetings are open to the public, except portions of the meeting which meet legal requirements to be discussed in Executive Sessions.
