West Linn council unanimously adopts 2025–27 priorities and city manager goals
Summary
Council unanimously adopted its 2025–2027 priorities and the city manager's annual goals, describing the documents as living roadmaps that will guide the two‑year budgeting cycle and staff priorities.
The West Linn City Council unanimously adopted its 2025–2027 priorities and the city manager goals for John Williams, setting policy direction that will guide the city's two‑year budgeting cycle.
City Manager John Williams outlined the goals as a set of five broad priorities with implementation examples that tie to the council’s retreat and the upcoming budget. "These goals really spell out what it is that you want me to be spending my time on," Williams said, adding that the city’s roughly 140 employees will use the document to align work to council expectations.
Council members praised the additional specificity in this year’s priorities and the living‑document approach that allows updates as projects progress. The priorities and manager goals were moved, seconded and adopted by roll call without substantive amendment. Officials said the priorities will help identify items for future council agendas and where members may lend their influence regionally.
