City of Portland Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget Services The role of the Mayor of Portland under the new charter emphasizes executive authority and accountability. Key Responsibilities • Chief Executive: The mayor will serve as the chief executive officer of the city, overseeing the administration and ensuring that city services are delivered effectively and fairly. • Budget Proposal: The mayor is responsible for developing and proposing the city's budget, which must be reviewed and approved by the city council. • Appointments: The mayor has the authority to appoint and remove key officials, including the city administrator, city attorney, and chief of police, although these appointments require council approval Equity Impacts The Office of Equity and Human Rights (OEHR) presented Racial Equity Goals and Strategies to City Council on July 8, 2015. The City Council unanimously adopted the goals and strategies as binding City policy, providing a guidepost for City employees and leadership to follow to achieve the racial equity goals. The Mayor's Office implements these racial equity goals and strategies in a variety of ways, promoting equity and inclusion both within the Mayor's Office and through the Mayor's policy agenda. The Mayor's Office has a diverse staff, and the Office relies upon that diversity in lived experiences to best serve Portland. The Mayor's Office applies an equity lens to all its efforts and decisions. The Office also heavily relies on data from its bureaus to make policy decisions and ensure that the City makes progress on its equity goals. Additionally, the Mayor's Office reaches out into the community and works with other institutions and community groups to collaborate and receive input. Changes to Program There are no significant changes to the services that the Mayor's Program provides. 603
