Occupation: Product Development Engineer Occupational Background: Engineering and engineering management Educational Background: Warner-Pacific College, 16, BS, Business Admin; Canby Union High School, 12, Diploma Prior Governmental Experience: City Council, City of Canby, 2011-2012 Canby is a great place to live, and we want to keep it that way. Not just for today, but for our children, grandchildren, and generations to come. Sustainability is not just for the environment. It is also about economics and livability. Economics. Just like the small businesses, retirees, and working families that fund it, the city must live within a tight budget. Every tax dollar is precious: l We must stay focused on the essentials l Be effective at getting them done l Do them with ever-increasing efficiency Every dollar spent on urban renewal is long-term debt that is paid for by deflecting property taxes from the things that help make Canby livable: schools, streets, parks, fire, and police. Each UR expenditure needs to be scrutinized for its contribution to building an economic engine that powers Canby into the future. Livability. We love the feel of Canby. We love living here. We like wide streets and parks. We like living next to rivers, trees, and farms. We like our cars and our bicycles, convenient shopping and quiet backyards, concerts and rodeos. We are not a suburb. We dont like regional governments telling us how to live. We are Canby. City Hall must be vigilant to protect our treasured livability and community values while we gently grow from a small town into a larger family. I ask your permission to continue serving you on city council as we together keep Canby great and vibrant, and build a bright future. Endorsed by Clackamas Leadership Fund.

City of Damascus Mayor Steve Spinnett Nonpartisan


Occupation: Small Business Owner Occupational Background: None Educational Background: None Prior Governmental Experience: Current Mayor Defending the people I know Steve; he is a man of integrity with great leadership skills. First and foremost Steve has demonstrated again and again that he is a defender of the people. Dr. Larry Franks, Damascus Citizen Limited Government We need to reform city government and limit local taxes. Steve is well known in the region for demonstrating his commitment to these values and will continue to do so. Jason Williams, Taxpayers Association of Oregon PAC Property Rights Steve is a person that recognizes governments intrusion into our backyards and businesses. He has demonstrated his commitment to the cause of freedom, especially with private property rights. Dale Hunnicutt, Director, Oregon Family Farms Association PAC The only elected official in Damascus to publicly support the initiatives you overwhelmingly passed. I supported the No new taxes and fees without your approval, the referendum on the Comprehensive Plan and the measure which requires your vote on the comprehensive plan before it is submitted to the state and Metro. My opponents were unsupportive of these measures. Limited government means limited spending! I support the measure in this election that limits city spending. This measure is with the intent to refund the balance back to you. I know who I work for! The current city council has repeatedly cited state and Metro rules. The state is not the problem; council policy goes far beyond state regulations. The Metro philosophy of high density development is embraced by our city council. The reality is we CAN push back on Metro and produce a plan that will be acceptable to you. I work for you! Local control The reason we incorporated as a city is the same today as it was then. The problem is you havent been represented by council. Its time for new leadership! We have three great city council candidates, who have similar values and will represent you!

I believe that Damascus is and should continue to be the best place to live in Oregon. Our rural character, local farms and forests, together with our proximity to Portland and Mt. Hood add to our desirability as a place to live and do business. Now is the time to move ahead, and I am asking your support to help make it possible. Thank you!

Member 1 term; Committee for Citizen Involvement (Damascus, Or.)

I do not support the influence any outside agencies, Corporate or Governmental. My sole interest is to pursue the opinions of Damascus citizens in all matters that affect them, and then use this information to make decisions and accurately represent the citizens of Damascus.

I intend to promote a minimalist planning strategy in order to; ease the transition for the current residents, allow future residents to realize their own visions, and expedite the current planning processes.

Occupation: Insurance Agent Occupational Background: Family owned independent insurance agency 30 years. Educational Background: Mount Hood Community College, 14, Business Prior Governmental Experience: US Army 1972 - 1974 I believe Governments should govern at the convenience of citizens. People are more important than planners, people are more important than the convenience of city councils or Metro boards. Our family supports My Fathers House which succeeds in helping Families recover from adversity without government funding. I am founder of Ask Damascus which successfully advances citizen involvement in issues facing our city. Damascus citizens are proud of their city charter which contains provisions such as; New taxes and tax increases require voter approval Private property may not be condemned for transfer to a developer City plans and costs must be approved by voters before being submitted to Metro or LCDC for approval. I am proud to have led in passage of each of the above measures and am proud of the hundreds of Damascus volunteers that helped on each one. My opponent has not supported any of these measures including the measure restoring our initiative process from limitations placed by our council. You cannot control taxes and debt without first controlling spending. I am chief petitioner and I support Measure 3-404, the city spending limit. While we need changes in Damascus we should not dis-incorporate and give Metro control of our city and property. We need councilors who believe in Damascus, not another messenger from Metro ! Vote Dan Phegley for position 6. In April, 2012 a majority of our council including Mary Wescott and my opponent held a secret meeting to decide how to thwart our Mayor and dis-incorporate our city all behind locked doors. This kind of decision making must stop. It is time for citizens to show government how to lead. Dan Phegley for council position 6. Please also vote for William Wehr, Mel OBrien and Steve Spinnett !

Bill Tierney has proven that he looks at all sides of each issue and weighs its impact on the city both today and years from now. Independent Thinker Bill understands the importance of acting independently. Hes flexible, continually seeks new information, and adjusts accordingly. Look no further than Bills decision to end discussion of the Streetcar. He was Councils moderate voice seeing there was not enough money and the community divided.

In the early 1900s, Portland Commissioner A.L. Old Man Portland Barbur helped lead a growing city to prosperity. I promise to continue the legacy by increasing communication and trust and restoring the accountability from city council that we, the citizens of Milwaukie, deserve. My focus is on issues important to us, not just to council. As your City Councilor I will work to: Promote fiscal responsibility and integrity. As a small business owner I understand the need to get value out of every dollar spent. The city should not be spending money it does not have on projects that are not priorities. I will promote an environment where the dollars of hard-working families are not wasted on pet projects and pipe dreams and are dedicated first to necessities such as safety, roads and utilities. Increase city revenue by encouraging business development. The complexity of Milwaukies current tax structure and regulations discourage business growth and property improvements. I will work to simplify burdensome regulations and reduce excessive fees to promote job creation and encourage small business entrepreneurship. Improve safety and livability throughout all neighborhoods. While much of the attention of the city revolves around downtown, many of Milwaukies neighborhood streets are left dangerously in disrepair and too often the needs of neighborhoods are left unattended. I will work to prioritize, maintain and improve our current transportation infrastructure and promote the needs of all Milwaukies neighborhoods. Milwaukies motto is that it is A Great Place to Live, Work and Play. Lets get to work together to make this vision a reality. Information furnished by: Scott Barbur for Milwaukie

As my roots here deepened, I decided it was time to give back to my community. Inspired by so many other Milwaukie citizens, I began to volunteer my time, serving on several committees and commissions. This November I am asking for the honor of serving Milwaukie as a City Councilor. I love this town and I believe that Milwaukie is at an unprecedented crossroads in its history, a time when people of strong vision can come together to inspire dramatic improvements for our town. I am a big believer in thinking outside of the box and looking for new solutions to problems that have existed for years because the city cant afford to address them. Some projects I intend to see brought to fruition:
l

Creation of more livable neighborhoods by supporting neighborhood-serving businesses within walking or biking distances Preparations for Milwaukie to benefit from Light Rail Removal of Kellogg Dam Completion of Kronberg & Milwaukie Riverfront Parks

l l l

With the right vision, I believe our City Council can help to recreate the thriving community that Milwaukie once enjoyed and leverage that into a bright future for all her citizens.

I love Our City and want to restore its rich heritage. EXPERIENCE: State Manager for a financial Company. It was my duty to listen to the needs and concerns of over 900 small and large businesses and their individual Banks. Learning what made them successful. Decision maker for several business, start up teams. Board of Director of a regional annual Music Festival.
