This is the fifteenth year of my administration, and we have prepared a quality budget document for the Budget Committee and the Citizens of Beaverton. The budget focuses on continuing our enhanced law enforcement and citizen safety activities, maintaining the City’s stable financial position, expanding the public’s understanding and involvement in our city government, and providing excellent customer service to Beaverton citizens.
