City of Newberg

What City of Newberg does

The City of Newberg is a municipal government incorporated in 1889 and located in Yamhill County, Oregon, serving residents of Newberg and, through a shared police services arrangement, the adjacent city of Dundee. The city operates under a council-manager form of government with a seven-member City Council representing seven districts and a directly elected mayor (Bill Rosacker, 2023-2026 term), with Will Worthey serving as City Manager and chief executive. Services are organized across eight departments: City Executive Leadership, City Recorder, Community Development (Building, Planning, Economic Development, Development Engineering), Emergency Management, Engineering, Finance, Human Resources, Newberg Public Library, Newberg-Dundee Police Department (35 sworn officers), Municipal Court, Public Works, and Utility Billing.

The organization's technology stack is conventional municipal SaaS rather than bespoke platform: OpenGov for permit and license submissions, Everbridge for emergency alerting (also extending to Yamhill County residents), ArcGIS Hub for public-facing maps and project tracking, Zoom for hybrid council meetings, YouTube for published recordings, NeoGov for recruiting and applicant tracking, and Code Publishing for municipal code hosting. Public engagement extends across the city website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, an E-Notify email newsletter, in-person City Hall service, and recorded public meetings. Notably absent from the disclosed stack is any AI/ML capability.

Revenue mechanics are characteristic of a small U.S. municipality rather than a commercial company: property taxes, utility billing (water, wastewater, stormwater, Fire & EMS Equipment Fee, Public Safety Fee), building permits and inspection fees, business licenses, municipal court fines, and System Development Charges collected from new development. Per the input, the city retired outstanding debt two years ahead of schedule in May 2026. There are no disclosed traditional customers, logos, or B2B contracts; the customer base is geographically defined as all Newberg residents and businesses within city limits, plus Dundee residents served through the shared police department.
