CD Director Retiring; City Adds Two to Leadership Team

November 26, 2018 – The City of Wilsonville bids a fond farewell this week to retiring Community Development Director, Nancy Kraushaar, who has provided oversight of the City’s building, engineering, natural resources, planning and urban renewal divisions since 2012.

“I’ll always value working with our talented staff and forward-thinking elected officials,” Kraushaar said. “I’ve enjoyed playing a role in implementing the great planning the City has done for decades, including new parks and neighborhoods in Villebois and safe, improved connections throughout the city for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.”

Kraushaar’s contributions have better prepared the city for the eventual buildout of the Coffee Creek and Basalt Creek employment areas, secured more sustainable funding resources to build and maintain the City’s infrastructure, and ensured that the I-5 Southbound Boone Bridge ramp-to-ramp improvements were included in the Oregon Transportation Commission’s 2018 Oregon Highway Plan update.

“The City has been very fortunate to benefit from Nancy’s leadership and expertise for six great years,” City Manager Bryan Cosgrove said. “She’s capably managed many community improvements while also providing support and guidance to lift the talented team of people who will continue to innovate and move Wilsonville forward.”

Additionally, two long-time employees join the executive team following recent promotions.

• Cathy Rodocker, who served as Assistant Director of Finance since 2004, is the City’s new Finance Director.
• Andy Stone assumes a new role as the City’s Director of Information Systems. Stone, who most recently served as Information Systems Manager, joined the City staff in 1999.

“We’re very fortunate to have an opportunity to add two very qualified, intelligent leaders to the City’s core decision-making team,” Cosgrove said. “Cathy and Andy both have a vast amount of institutional knowledge and expertise, and these appointments allow them to be even greater assets to the community.”
