On September 9, 2009, the Rockaway Beach City Council selected Terry Walhood as the City’s next mayor. Mayor Walhood has been a permanent resident of the City for approximately eight years. Mayor Walhood has public service in her blood as her mother served on the City Council. On September 23, 2009, Mayor Walhood was sworn in by City Magistrate Joanne Aagaard at the City Council meeting in front of a large crowd. We all look forward to working with Mayor Walhood in the future. 

Mayor Walhood will be available to meet with the public on the 1st, 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month from 9:30 am until 10:30 am.  Please stop by City Hall during those times if you would like to meet with her.

The Police Department is selling 6-inch Glow Stick brand chemical lights, on a cost recovery basis, at both City Hall and the Police Department.  Lights sell for $1.00 each, or 6 for $5.00.  Each single use, disposable glow stick provides illumination for about 24 hours.  Advantages include long shelf life, individual packaging and easy disposal in the trash after use.  Perfect for home, auto or boat, where the flashlights always seem to have dead batteries when the power goes out.  For more information call the Police Volunteers at: 503-355-2252.
