    MEMORANDUM DATE: April 27, 2012 TO: Ken Pipher Parks & Recreation Program and Support Manager CITY OF HILLSBORO FROM: Bill Reid, Principal JOHNSON REID, LLC SUBJECT: Economic and Cost‐Benefit Analysis of a Potential Minor League Baseball Stadium The City of Hillsboro retained Johnson Reid to provide an economic and fiscal impact analysis and a standard cost‐benefit analysis of a proposed minor league baseball stadium that would be constructed at the Gordon Faber Recreation Complex. This report is a continuation and expansion of a preliminary analysis completed in March of 2012. The City is interested in a more detailed understanding of the following issues: ▪ Assessment of the extent to which baseball stadium construction activities on Softball Field #4 at the GFRC would negatively affect the existing, busy seasonal schedule of events at the softball complex. ▪ Assessment of the extent to which summer baseball games, particularly on weekends, would result in risk of losing existing, committed, and high value events historically committed to the Gordon Faber Recreation Complex. ▪ Identification of any baseball stadium‐related municipal revenue streams at other such parks elsewhere that the City of Hillsboro might consider. ▪ Identification of the potential interest by Hillsboro‐area businesses to sponsor various aspects of baseball promotion. ▪ A standard cost‐benefit analysis of the public investment and return on the baseball stadium and recruitment of a Class A minor league baseball team based on all other findings. This memorandum is a summary of our findings for this expanded assignment, but where appropriate includes findings from the previous report. Accordingly, the document is separated into the following analytical sections.

  • City of Salem
    City of Salem By David Lewis (Takelma, Chinook, Molalla, Santiam Kalapuya) Salem, the capital of Oregon, is located at a crossroads of trade and travel on former prairie lands along the Willamette River. The city was designated the seat of Marion County in 1849 and the territorial capital in 1851-1852. Incorporated in 1857, Salem served as the de facto state capital beginning in 1859 and, by popular vote, became the official capital in 1864. It is on the site of one of the earliest American settlements in the Oregon Country, a Methodist mission established by Jason Lee in 1841 near the Kalapuyan village of Tchimikiti. Lee established a town near the mission, which he named Chemeketa. In 1846, William Willson renamed it Salem, from the Arabic word salam, which means peace. To the south of the city are the Salem Hills, originally called the Red Hills, a midvalley geologic formation of ancient Jory soils. To the north is Lake Labish, a marshland drained in the early twentieth century to create agricultural land, and to the east farms and small towns meet the foothills of the Cascade Range. Salem’s western boundary ended at the Willamette River until 1949, when West Salem was incorporated into the city. The city is in two counties, Marion to the east of the Willamette River and Polk to the west. Salem is drained by Mill Creek (Chemeketa Creek) and Pringle Creek (Harbor Creek), tributaries of the Willamette River. During the nineteenth century, the two creeks were joined by mill races to operate sawmills, grist mills, and woolen mills.
