Mayor Schwarzler is excited to host her next town hall on Saturday, March 1, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM, at the Independence Heritage Museum, located at 281 S 2nd St, Independence, OR 97351.

The session will begin with a presentation covering key topics, including:

• Budget: A focus on where to find information and how to get involved in shaping city priorities.
• Public Safety Fee: A clear breakdown of what it covers and why it matters.
• Library Services: Debunking the myth that “libraries are obsolete” and highlighting all the incredible resources your library card unlocks.

After the presentation, residents will have an opportunity to ask questions and share their thoughts. It’s a great chance to be part of the conversation and help shape the future of Independence. If you would like to submit questions ahead of time, you can email Mayor Schwarzler at mayor@ci.independence.or.us.

Event summaries will be available afterward in both English and Spanish. We look forward to seeing you there!
