Pam Ray, Finance Officer

I'm so happy to be working with the City of Turner. I've had many years of accounting and office management education & experience, but about 10 years ago I decided to make a change and enrolled in Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts. I love to cook, and have worked as an executive chef and a culinary instructor since graduating. 

My husband and I have recently moved back to Oregon after a three-year stint of teaching at a university in Shaoxing, China. My hobbies include cooking (of course!), embroidery, reading, hiking, and spending time with friends and family.

Cayden Weaver, AP/Utility Billing Clerk

I’ve lived in Oregon my whole life, and in the Salem area since 2012. I love the outdoors and pretty much everything one might do there: hunting, fishing, hiking, and even a bit of photography. If I’ve got time to spare, I’m probably going to spend it outside.

In 2023 I graduated college with an associate’s degree in accounting and I’ve worked in payroll since 2022. I’m a newcomer to City Hall and looking forward to a new phase in my career and to serving the City of Turner!

Sandra Goodrich, Part-Time City Hall Clerical Staff

I retired from Clackamas County Finance Dept where I did their payroll for about 2500 employees. After retirement we moved to Sunriver Oregon to enjoy the outdoor life offered in Central Oregon. We became snowbirds to Arizona in the winter. Then we moved to Salem where I job shared at the Oregon State Fair and Expo until Covid hit and I lost my job. I was looking for a part time job and discovered the City of Turner was looking for someone.  I am excited to be working here at the City. I am exploring the area and the community.
