Tigard City Manager Brent Stockwell has been placed on Administrative Leave just four months after being hired and three weeks after Tigard Mayor Heidi Lueb resigned. The City is keeping tight-lipped on developments, citing “it’s a personnel matter, [and] we can’t comment on [City Manager] Stockwell’s absence." All of this comes on the heels of at least seven management-level employees leaving the City, a topic that came up during Tigard Life’s 2024 Candidate Forum last October.

Brent Stockwell was placed on leave just four months after he took the helm as city manager.

HELP SELECT TIGARD'S NEW MAYOR BY SUBMITTING QUESTIONS BY TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30

Following Mayor Heidi Lueb’s resignation earlier this month, and in accordance with the Tigard City Charter, the remaining City Councilors must select a new Mayor to fill the remainder of Lueb’s term. A decision was made at the last city council meeting to choose one of the currently sitting councilors, and two of those councilors, Jeanette Shaw and Yi-Kang Hu, expressed an interest in the position.

Community members are encouraged to participate in this process by submitting questions for the two candidates.

Residents may submit questions for the candidates now through September 30 by emailing the City Manager’s Office at [email protected], by phone at 503-718-2482, or in person by dropping off written questions at a customer service counter at Tigard City Hall (13125 SW Hall Blvd).

From these submissions, up to 10 final questions will be selected. Half will be provided to the candidates ahead of time, and the other half will be answered in real-time during the October 7 Council meeting. At the conclusion of this process, Council will vote to determine which candidate will be appointed Mayor.
