THE CREATING SOMETHING THAT GIVES YOU PURPOSE OF LIFE IS TO GIVE IT AWAY.” PURPOSE AND MEANING. - WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE --MITCH ALBOM FRED JOHNSON HILLSBORO DISTINGUISHED CITIZEN Fred Johnson has been the Executive Vice President of Premier Community Bank, now Heritage Bank, since their inception in 1998. Born and raised in Hillsboro, he is described by his peers as a genuine and caring man that contributes his time and resources to many organizations in his hometown. Fred’s spirit of service comes naturally as the son of Grant T. Johnson, a longtime leader within the Hillsboro community and early champion of the Hillsboro Community Foundation.. Through Grant and through the connections Fred shared with several of the Foundation’s board members, he could easily recognize both the quality of the Foundation’s leadership, and the quality of its work. From the creation and improvement of parks, to scholarship opportunities for our young people, Fred wanted to be part of this organization that makes Hillsboro a better place to live. Fred has been a board member of the Hillsboro Community Foundation since 2001, and has also served as its president. He has been involved in all of the organization’s sponsored projects, and has supported its signature project - the Glenn and Viola Walters Cultural Arts Center - by soliciting donations and giving of his and his wife’s own financial resources. For 14 years, Fred has served as a volunteer on the finance committee for Community Action, is a member of the Hillsboro Rotary Club and serves on the Hillsboro Rotary Foundation Board. He is also involved with the creation and improvement of parks, scholarship opportunities for our young people, anything that might make Hillsboro a better place to live. The tradition and spirit of giving has carried on in the Johnson family, his father Grant received the Emma C. McKinney Distinguished Citizen Award in 1995 and they now share the award, as the first ever father and son recipients. Fred enjoys spending time with his wife, Letha and together they have 3 children and two granddaughters. One of Fred’s co-workers says, “His legacy will be his commitment to his community, his loyalty to friends, family and work family and his witty personality.” SCOTT PALMER CHAIR’S AWARD After nearly 15 years of leading Hillsboro’s only professional theatre company, Bag&Bag- gage Productions (B&B), Founding Artistic Director Scott Palmer accepted a new posi- tion as the Producing Artistic Director of Company of Fools, a professional theatre based in Sun Valley, Idaho. He’s gone from Hillsboro, but not forgotten. Perhaps the most enduring legacy Palmer left is The Vault Theater and Event Space, B&B’s new permanent home that was created through an innovative partnership with the City of Hillsboro and a successful $1.6 million capital campaign. B&B has been housed at The Vault since September of 2017 and is mid-way through their second season in the venue. “It has been the greatest honor of my career leading Bag&Baggage, and I am deeply grateful to the staff, board, artists, patrons, and donors who have helped make The Vault a reality for this community,” said Palmer. “After all we have achieved together, with The Vault open and Bag&Baggage stronger and healthier than it has ever been, it felt like the right time for me to pursue other goals and new challenges. My heart will always be on Main Street in Hillsboro, but I know that our beloved artists, our passionate board, our dedicated donors, and the incredible staff at B&B will lead the company into ever greater success.” “It was that sentiment and passion”, said Board Chair Sarah McGraw-Plaster, “that com- pelled me to honor Scott with the Chair’s Award this year. Scott’s significant contributions to Hillsboro and Bag&Baggage, as well as his unabashed promotion of Mainstreet and arts and culture as vital community assets. These efforts influenced significant investments and amplified the importance of art in any form as a key component to a healthy com- munity. Scott’s boundless enthusiasm and generous spirit will continue to lead the way for Hillsboro to evolve into a strong cultural community for years to come.” PRESIDENT’S AWARD Elizabeth Case is the founder and owner of Yellow Dog ELIZABETH Consulting. In 2016, she applied to participate in the City of Hillsboro’s Civic Leadership Academy. The Civic Leadership Academy focused on the entrepreneurial infrastructure of Hillsboro and made recommendations to the Mayor and CASE City Council. It was through that process that a wonderful BROWN relationship between the Hillsboro Chamber and Elizabeth was forged. That relationship and Elizabeth’s limitless ener- gy, vision and enthusiasm for partnership led to the creation and launch of HillHub. HillHub is Oregon’s first Chamber of Commerce owned and operated Co-Working Entre- preneurial Center. Elizabeth worked with other members of the Chamber’s Small Business Entrepreneurial Council to develop the business plan and financial structure that provided the Chamber’s Board of Directors the confidence to make a significant financial commitment to HillHub. “Without Elizabeth’s shepherding of this important proj- ect, we would still be discussing HillHub as a hope and a dream. Her passion and dedication to this effort truly made the dream of HillHub a reality for Hillsboro. We are grateful for her leadership and thank her for ensuring the Hillsboro Chamber has a place and space where Hillsboro’s entre- preneurial community can come together and grow and prosper for years to come.” said Deanna Palm, President, Hillsboro Chamber. In 2011 Elizabeth “drank the kool-aid” of entrepreneurship and started Yellow Dog Consulting. A marketing and sales consulting firm focused on the small business owner. Yellow Dog Consulting is designed to help growing businesses setup the foundation and building blocks of their marketing and sales efforts. Elizabeth lives in Hillsboro, Oregon with her husband and the world’s greatest Yellow Dog, Norm. JAMIE MIRANDA THE HILLSBORO ELKS LODGE#1862 PHILANTHROPIC LEADERSHIP The Hillsboro Elks Lodge #1862 is a Fraternal Organization who has dedicated themselves to the cardinal principles of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity. Every year they deliver more than 700 baskets of food and toys to families in need in our community and they sponsor hearing and speech impaired children to two weeks of one-on-one instruction that helps them to read, write and pronounce words more clearly. They also support the Casey Eye Institute, providing eye glasses for children and have purchased highly trained K9s for the Hillsboro Police K9 Unit that are trained to assist in handling dangerous sit- uations. The Elks support the Salvation Army Veteran’s Family Center, providing money, food and AC units to support the transition of veterans from being homeless to being functioning members of the community. This year the Hillsboro Elks Lodge created an endowment becoming one of PCC Foun- dation’s largest scholarships at $100,000 dedicated exclusively to career technical educa- tion (CTE). The Elks Scholarship is specifically designed for students pursuing an associate degree or certificate in a CTE program and are living in Hillsboro, North Plains, Aloha or Cornelius. The Hillsboro Elks Lodge #1862 truly exemplifies the spirit and heart of giving in the com- munity. Their generous and tireless efforts have touched and bettered the lives of thou- sands of children, veterans and families in our community! SPECIAL MERIT Michael Brown served as the City Manager for the City of MICHAEL Hillsboro for seven years, earning a reputation for leading with integrity and for his financial stewardship. During that time he was known both internally and externally for his innovation, out-of-the-box thinking and quirky sense of BROWN humor. While his accomplishments are too numerous to list individually, a few significant examples are: Ron Tonkin Field, Orenco Woods Nature Park, New Public Works Facility, South Hillsboro Master Plan, North Hillsboro Urban Renewal Plan, HOPS baseball, Orenco Plaza ice skating rink, New City-sponsored programs, such as Youth Invasion, Interviewniversity, and maintaining the Hillsboro reputation as a great place to locate and operate a business. Through Michael’s leadership, the City built and improved high quality, high value, accessible and community-wide public facilities to meet the needs and desires of our growing community. Michael listened to and creatively responded to the Mayor and City Council’s vision for the Hillsboro 2020 and 2035 Community Vision Plans. He encouraged a passionate, highly-trained, diverse, hardworking, and appreciated staff, fostering a fun and welcoming culture. Michael would be the last person in the room to ever take credit, instead always ensuring that staff or community partners received recognition. The City of Hillsboro, the community and our regional partners are grateful for the infusion of love, caring and oversight Michael provided the City during his tenure. We are proud Michael and Brandie still reside in Hillsboro and call it home. JAMIE MIRANDA ROBERT R. HERB LEADERSHIP AWARD Jaime Miranda came to Hillsboro from Mexico at the age of 9 and quickly picked up En- glish, later becoming the first member of his family to graduate from high school.

  • Hillsboro 2035 Community Plan Guides City's Future
    CITY VIEWS NEWS & EVENTS FOR THE CITY OF HILLSBORO September/October 2015 Hillsboro 2035 Community Plan Guides City’s Future Read the Complete Plan at Hillsboro2035.org Years of planning and help from thousands of community members have led to the completion of the Hillsboro 2035 Community Plan, which is available online at www.Hillsboro2035.org. The Hillsboro City Council approved the plan in late July before it was “unveiled” and distributed at Celebrate Hillsboro. Based on input and ideas from more than 5,000 community members for the future of Hillsboro, the Hillsboro 2035 Community Plan includes a vision of what people want Hillsboro to look like by the year 2035, and an action plan for getting there. The Hillsboro 2035 Community Plan builds on the success of the Hillsboro 2020 Vision and Action Plan, the original, award-winning plan, which led to many community enhancements, including Hondo Dog Park, community gardens, the Hillsboro Civic Center and Tom Hughes Plaza, and youth after-school programs. Residents, employees, businesses, and community organizations all weighed in with ideas for the future of Hillsboro. continued on page 2 MAYOR’S MESSAGE Ready to Volunteer? HillsDoer Day is October 3 Did you know that in 2014, more than 4,000 volunteers served 64,270 hours in Hillsboro? That’s incredible! Think of how those volunteers helped our Parks & Recreation, Library, Fire, and Police departments to deliver an even higher level of service. Others volunteered on City boards and commissions, at special events, or with community non-profit organizations. In August, the City held the 2nd Annual Volunteer BBQ at Shute Park to show appreciation to all City Mayor Jerry Willey volunteers, but the truth is, we cannot thank you enough for your service.

This new report includes all Action Plan changes made since May 2000 including those revisions which resulted from the fi rst Strategy Review process. In order for the Hillsboro 2020 Vision and Action Plan to remain a viable and effective guide for shaping our community’s future, it is important to keep the Action Plan “tuned-up.” Nothing is constant but change. Community resources and priorities fl uctuate over time. To keep our community’s vision on track, it is important to adapt to the current environment while keeping our focus on the desired outcome. To this end, the Vision Implementation Committee has three processes in place to allow revisions to the Action Plan. Annually the Committee reviews and, if appropriate, recommends minor modifi cations to the Action Plan. Any new action proposals are also considered on an annual basis. Every fi fth year, a major Strategy Review process is conducted to identify proposed strategy additions and revisions. To help preserve the integrity of the original plan, which was developed with extensive community involvement, this process includes a city-wide citizen outreach effort to solicit and review new proposals for implementing the original Vision Statement.
