“John Rettig recently stepped down from the Multnomah County Planning Commission after 16 years of volunteer service. John’s length of service and high level of participation over those years demonstrates his deep interest in the field of land use planning and also his commitment to improving the quality of life for the rural citizens of the county through adoption of thoughtful policy and regulations.
John’s interests, combined with his technical perspective as a professional engineer, provided a unique and grounded perspective during commission discussions, which guided a range of policy decisions. John’s contribution on the commission mirrored many of Multnomah County’s values including a desire to build a safe, sustainable and engaged community for all.”
