City Administrator
Mike Morgan
City Administrator
"You won't find me behind a desk on the weekends" |
"A goal without commitment
and determination is a lost dream" is Mike’s
operating model. Mike defines this model as bringing energy,
vision and advocacy to serve the community. By definition,
a commitment to leadership.
Technically, the City Administrator supervises department
directors, implements policies, goals and objectives of
the City Council and oversees the protection of organization
assets. The City Administrator is often required to be
the final administrative arbitrator of the rules and ordinances
that govern the City. In this roll, the City administrator
must maintain a careful balance between being an ombudsman
for a constituent, protecting the broader public interest,
risk management for the organization and ensuring consistency
and fairness in the application of City policy.
The City Administrator also represents the City in major
development efforts. For Madras, this includes the East
Madras Development Project, major construction initiatives,
meeting with potential developers, businesses and investors,
and working with various state agencies to focus resources
in the community. |

The "J Street/City
View" street construction project is well underway
with the initial paving anticipated by November 30, 2005.
Designed to create an interconnecting transportation system,
the project includes construction of nearly 1.5 miles
of new divided roadway, landscaping, pedestrian and bicycle
connectivity to the Willow Creek Trail system and under-grounding
of all utilities. Funded in partnership with Jefferson
County and with the majority of sewer infrastructure costs
offset by the Oregon Department of Corrections, this project,
including the new Willow Creek Bridge, will carry a total
cost of over $4 million. |
