things,
over the last five years,
Willoughby spearheaded
a series of utility rate in-
creases and fees to deal
with aging infrastructure.
For example, Silverton is
now able to fund routine
maintenance on munici-
pal streets. The next big
challenge: Silverton’s 60-
year-old water treatment
plant needs replacing – to
the tune of $12 million, he
said. There’s also a push to
build a new police station
without taking on new
debt.
“We’re now starting to
reach a level where our
deficits and backlogs
aren’t getting worse,” Wil-
loughby said. “We’re at a
maintenance level, but
that’s not the end of the
struggle.”
Mayor Rick Lewis
agreed: “We have signifi-
cant issues coming with
regard to annexation,
growth, critical infra-
structure and economic
opportunities. The ideal
manager will be well
versed in these areas and
offer constructive advice
moving forward.”
After retirement, Wil-
loughby will remain in Sil-
verton. Originally from
Portland, he’s served as
city manager in Florence,
Lafayette and Cascade
Locks. A graduate of Wil-
lamette University’s law
school, he started his pub-
lic career as a county at-
torney and a city council-
or.
“I wish Bob the very
best in his upcoming re-
tirement and I look for-
ward to working closely
with him in the next sever-
al months until that retire-
ment date is upon us,”
Lewis said. “I know he will
work diligently to ensure
a smooth transition with a
new city manager when
that time comes.”
By Sept. 1, the city had
received fewer than 30
applications for Willough-
by’s job, a low number
when compared with past
searches that generated
more than 100 applica-
tions, Hector said. Silver-
ton is offering to pay
$110,000 to $125,000 and is
asking for a minimum of
five years experience
managing a city of similar
size to – or larger than –
Silverton.
The council hired Mid-
Willamette Valley Council
to coordinate the search
for a manager, but coun-
cilors are involved in re-
viewing
applications.
They will also conduct
phone interviews, visit
candidates’ workplaces,
and bring the top few
choices to town to meet
the public, Hector said.

two people filed to fill
them.
Mayor Rick Lewis and
Councilor Jason Freilin-
ger will run for re-elec-
tion, while no one filed to
run for the seat now held
by Ken Hector, who is also
retiring from public life
in Silverton. That four-
year seat is open to write-
in candidates.
During his nearly
three decades on the
council, Hector has over-
seen five city managers.
Willoughby, he said, dem-
onstrated an unflappable
demeanor through a polit-
ically fractious period in
the city’s history. When
Willoughby was hired in
2012, the town was em-
broiled in a fight over
growth that culminated in
recall efforts.
“If there’s a single
word to describe Bob, it’s
calm,” Hector said. “Even
in the face of conflict and
– and when people are
downright rude – Bob
takes a deep breath and
regains his composure.”
“I’ve tried to create an
environment where peo-
ple could communicate –
and want to communi-
cate,” Willoughby said.
