Note: This session has been converted from an in-person session to a virtual session to accommodate wider participation.
At this listening session, the Government Transition Advisory Committee and Transition Team invites your thoughts on draft recommendations to city leaders on key topics such as accessing city councilors, participating in City Council decision-making, participating in the City’s budget process, and setting up new Council Committees.
Draft recommendations are based on peer city research, our own experiences and discussions with each other and City staff, prior work by the City, and early community engagement.
You are invited to share your feedback on these recommendations in a listening session, through an online survey, or by emailing transition@portlandoregon.gov by Monday, August 12 at 11:59p.m.

How your input will be used
We expect our recommendations to evolve based on your feedback. The final recommendations will be given to the newly elected mayor, city council, and administrative leadership in the fall of 2024.
