LAKE OSWEGO REVIEW
JANUARY 2013

W
hile Kent Studebaker won’t
officially be sworn in as
Lake Oswego’s mayor un-
til Jan. 8, 2013, the long-time resident
is already studying-up since winning
the nonpartisan race in November.
He said he’s excited to serve the city
he describes as beautiful and “with a
small town feel and look.”
“I like the fact that it is a small
enough community that I can regu-
larly interact with either people I
know or people who are connected
in some way to those I know,” Stude-
baker said.
And he hopes this community-
minded family of residents will find
his knowledge and leadership style
valuable.
“The mayor should be someone
who is responsible for discovering
what the community wants, and then
leading them to accomplish those
goals,” he said. “If I do that well, the
city should be better off at the end of
my term.”
L.O. recently asked Studebaker a
few questions to get to know him bet-
ter at the beginning of his four-year
term.
Tell us about election night.
Where were you? What was the
experience like? How did you
hear the news that you were
Lake Oswego’s next mayor?
On election night I was at a ware-
house owned by Skip O’Neill with a
number of supporters. It was interesting
because the results kept going back
and forth, so I had feelings of victory or
loss at various times in the evening. I
did not really know I had won until Greg
Macpherson called me as I was walk-
ing into the Friday night (Lake Oswego)
Laker football game and graciously
conceded.
Name three items you are abso-
lutely bringing to your new office
in city hall?
I will bring a sense of humor, a desire
to learn and several notepads and pens
to take notes.
What is your personal agenda for
issues you want to resolve in the
city? What are the issues and
how will they be solved?
Our big issues are taking care of this
city and moving forward to make it bet-
ter in an affordable way. Priorities would
be taking care of infrastructure, getting
a permanent city manager, getting the
Boones Ferry project started and build-
ing trust between city government and
its citizens.
How do you hope to increase
citizen participation?
I think citizens will become more
involved if they feel their input is heard
and respected. As I said in my cam-
