In celebration of the City's 60th Anniversary, former mayors and city councilors are sharing their role in the city's history.

Former Mayor Craig Dirksen reflects on how a desire to increase the number of parks in Tigard led him to running for office. While serving as mayor, the city increased parks and open space from 288 acres in 2000 to 550 acres by 2014.
