DeHaan was appreciative to the city for their continued faith in him.
”I just wanna thank the council and the mayor for your continued support in renewing my contract. As I reflect back, I’m nearing my 30th year with Oregon, but I think I still have the same energy and passion I know I do for this community. So I look forward to working with our department heads, all of our fantastic staff moving forward, and certainly representing the mayor and the council, and the work you guys do as well,” he said Tuesday.
