for Bill Monahan
“Bill Monahan served the City of Tigard extremely well when he was community development director and then city manager. His knowledge of Tigard and expertise in planning and local government are hard to match. As a former mayor of Tigard, I believe Bill is the person we need to lead the city council to restore citizen trust in Tigard and find a cost-effective solution to police and public works facility needs.”
– Gerry Edwards, former Mayor of Tigard
“Bill is an experienced leader skilled at guiding communities to focus on priorities, often through difficult transitions. I worked closely with Bill during his sixteen years serving Tigard. He takes the time to engage community members, city councilors, businesses, and staff to ensure all perspectives are represented. His expertise in local government processes, management, land use planning, law, and involvement in the Tigard community make him uniquely qualified for the office of Mayor.”
– Liz Newton, former Tigard City Councilor and staff member
“Bill Monahan is an excellent choice to be mayor for the City of Tigard. His years of local government experience demonstrate his superior qualifications to lead the city as Mayor. I was hired by him as Tigard’s Library Director. In 2002 during the double majority election requirement, he played a critical role in guiding the city’s bond measure to successful passage to address the community’s growing library needs. The process produced a cost-effective and appropriately scoped plan to deliver a library to serve the community. By following best practices, the city avoided the possibility of wasting limited financial resources. The library was built on time and under budget.”
– Margaret Barnes, former Library Director for the City of Tigard
