Recall reports

An effort to recall Mayor Tim Hall took place during August 2023 in Garibaldi Oregon. Hall resigned as mayor, effective September 1, 2023, rather than face a recall election.[1]

Hall was elected as mayor of Garibaldi in 2021.

Recall supporters

The recall effort was organized by a group called The Recall Hall Committee. One member of the committee, Valerie Schumann, said that city officials misused funds and failed to adhere to city protocols.[2]

Recall opponents

Hall said about his decision to resign, "After a while, my wife and kids reminded me that this was a volunteer position; I wasn’t getting paid. Even if I won the recall, we didn’t feel like the harassment was going to stop. I was bullied out of office."[2]

The chief petitioner must turn in the required number of signatures no later than 90 days after the prospective petition has been filed.
