PRIORITIES

Equitable Community Networks: Two arms interlinked

EQUITABLE
COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT

 

As we prepare to establish the practices and expectations of a new, expanded Portland City Council structure, we need to thoughtfully and intentionally root our system in true, equitable, transparent, and honest community engagement.

Effective Service Networks: Four arms interlinked

EFFECTIVE
SERVICE
NETWORKS

 

When legislative decisions are made on the basis of networks of services working together to achieve a goal, Council needs to ensure that all partners are supported, connected, and working in collaboration to achieve shared and individual outcomes. Only once all of the gears have been connected can the momentum of one propel the next.

Restructured Public Safety: Hand holding a flower

RESTRUCTURED
PUBLIC
SAFETY

 

We need to take a close look at responding to safety with a network of services that meet the needs of our community. When someone is experiencing the trauma of an emergency, the responders should be able to effectively support their unique needs. It is Council's job to ensure we are providing safe, effective services to the community.
