  • 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.

  • Hillsboro's Home of Champions: Ron Tonkin Field
    CITY VIEWS NEWS & EVENTS FOR THE CITY OF HILLSBORO November/December 2014 Hillsboro’s Home of Champions: Ron Tonkin Field September 7, 2014. It’s a day Hillsboro Hops fans will never forget. Less than 15 months after the City of Hillsboro’s Parks & Recreation Department staff opened then-named Hillsboro Ballpark, the crowd of cheering fans witnessed history being made at Ron Tonkin Field. Capping an amazing season, the Hops sealed the deal by winning the team’s first Northwest League Championship on its home turf. While the Hops’ players will try to repeat as champions next summer, Parks & Recreation Department staff know that the season never ends. For every Hops home game (there were 40 in 2014, playoffs included), Ron Tonkin Field will host eight other community events and games. You may not realize it, but Ron Tonkin Field plays host to youth soccer, lacrosse, football, high school baseball and much more, thanks to the artificial turf’s year-round benefits. “The addition of Ron Tonkin Field has provided all of our high school teams – not just baseball – the opportunity to play in a great venue and experience the feeling of playing in a big-time stadium,” said Hillsboro School District Operations Coordinator and Safety Director Casey Waletich. “We are also getting games in during winter and spring that, in past years, would have been canceled because the turf wasn’t playable. Ron Tonkin Field is a tremendous addition to our community.” continued on page 2 MAYOR’S MESSAGE Hillsboro Takes Top Sustainability Honors Small decisions lead to big results.
