Who is GTAC?The Government Transition Advisory Committee (GTAC) is a group of Portlanders appointed by the mayor and city council in March 2023. We act as the primary community engagement and advisory body for Portland’s government transition.All comments received may be subject to disclosure upon request under Oregon’s Public Records Law. Question Title * 1. All responses are optional. Your survey response will be kept confidential and securely stored unless there is a public records request. Public records requests are when members of the public, media, etc. request access to information from a public body like the City of Portland. My survey was submitted with the understanding that the City of Portland will keep the information confidential and will only disclose the information if ordered to do so by the District Attorney or a court. I would not have submitted this survey without the promise of confidentiality. You may disclose my survey. I am waiving confidentiality. Question Title * 2. Before we start, select the topics you wish to provide feedback on. You will only see questions related to your selection.
