ROY DUNCAN
OCCUPATIONAL BACKGROUND: Industrial Engineer with Boeing and Lockheed; Labor Market Analyst, Business Manager, Management Analyst, Fiscal Coordinator, and computer support person for the state of Oregon.
EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND: B.S. in Business and Technology from OSU, 1957; Some M.B.A. graduate work at Santa Clara; one semester of law at Willamette; miscellaneous courses through employers and some taken for self improvement at Chemeketa Community College; I recently studied for and passed the Oregon Real Estate Agent exam.
PRIOR GOVERNMENTAL EXPERIENCE: Excluding 26+ years of Oregon state government employment, approximately seven years on the Keizer Budget Committee.
Except for the Keizer Budget Committee, my participation in the community is varied. I have volunteered at one time or another with Boy Scouts, Little League, the Keizer Chamber of Commerce, the Oregon Environmental Council, Toastmasters, was Chairman of Terrace Green Homeowners Association and last year I was selected spouse of the year by Northside Girl Scouts. I am volunteering to represent the community as a city councilor for four years.
My wife Jody and I have lived in Keizer for 35 years. Four of our children and some grandchildren have attended local schools. I support local police, community policing, and the concept of neighborhood associations. I want to keep down the expenses for taxpayers but believe there are basic services government must try to provide. In between is the biweekly decision making when a councilor hopes to represent as many constituents as possible. When these conflict resident input is needed and I will support a process to see that happen.
I do not promise to have all the answers but I promise to evaluate situations based on information available from all sources. I am anxious to listen to citizens’ comments, to help solve our flood and drainage problems and other issues that arise and I will work to see our tax base increase by supporting the development of the Chemawa Activity Center.
