City Hall

Welcome to Waldport.

The City of Waldport is administered by a City Manager in a Council-Manager form of city governance, in which the Council sets the primary policy and budget, but hires a Manager to run day to day operations as the primary head of the city. It is the most common type of city government, with over 60% of the US using this style of city administration. The current City Manager is Dann Cutter, a US Navy Veteran and Oregon State University graduate. Mr. Cutter was born on the Oregon Coast, and has lived in Waldport for over 20 years, previously having served on the Planning Commission, Council and as Mayor.
