City of Tualatin Names Frank Butler as 2025 Employee of the Year 

TUALATIN, OR – The City of Tualatin is proud to announce that Frank Butler has been named the 2025 Employee of the Year, recognizing his exceptional service and dedication to the organization. 

Hired on November 18, 2013, as the City’s Network Administrator, Frank has spent more than a decade ensuring the technology that powers Tualatin runs seamlessly. From behind the scenes, he keeps systems secure, reliable, and running smoothly—often resolving issues before anyone even realizes there was a problem. 

Frank’s patience and collaborative spirit support every department equally—from Police to Parks—ensuring each team receives the tools and support they need to serve the community effectively. 
 
A true problem solver, Frank approaches every challenge with calm expertise (even when the solution is simply turning it off and back on again). He embraces new systems and technologies with confidence, implementing improvements citywide that streamline processes, reduce red tape, and save taxpayer dollars. His respectful and customer-focused approach makes even the most urgent “emergencies” feel manageable. 

Frank is the reason City systems hum along so smoothly. While it may seem like magic, it is actually the result of years of dedication, technical expertise, and quiet hard work. 

The Tualatin City Council officially adopted the proclamation recognizing Frank’s achievements on February 9, 2026. His commitment to excellence and service exemplifies the very best of the City of Tualatin. 

Please join us in congratulating Frank Butler on this well-deserved honor!
