They’ve watched genera- tions of children grow up with the creek as their community center (as both urban and farm kids had for generations before the Franciscos moved there). David recalls set- ting orienteering courses for the local scout troop in the streamside forest on their prop- erty. He also recollects how much his parents enjoyed caring for the woods, particularly his father with his green thumb. The Franciscos recently donated almost three acres of the streamside portion of their property to the City of Portland, citing the “You can’t live on a stream for so many years without understanding burden of property maintenance as their pri- mary motivation.

  • ORDINANCE NO. 187150 As Amended
    ORDINANCE NO. 187150 As Amended Accept Park System Development Charge Methodology Update Report for implementation, and amend the applicable sections of City Code (Ordinance; amend Code Chapter 17.13) The City of Portland ordains: Section 1. The Council finds: 1. Ordinance No. 172614, passed by the Council on August 19, 1998 authorized establishment of a Parks and Recreation System Development Charge(SDC) and created a new City Code Chapter 17.13. 2. In October 1998 the City established a Parks SDC program. City Code required that the program be updated every two years to ensure that program goals were being met. An update was implemented on July 1, 2005 pursuant to Ordinance No. 179008, as amended. The required update reviewed the Parks SDC Program to determine that sufficient money will be available to fund capacity-increasing facilities identified by the Parks SDC-CIP; to determine whether the adopted and indexed SDC rate has kept pace with inflation; to determine whether the Parks SDC-CIP should be modified; and to ensure that SDC receipts will not over-fund such facilities. 3. Ordinance No 175774, passed by the Council on July 12, 2001 adopted The Parks 2020 Vision. This report highlighted significant challenges confronting the City in regards to shoring up our ailing park facilities, eliminating inequity in underserved neighborhoods, and providing a stable source of funding to address not just our existing shortfalls, but to also meet the needs created by new development. The Park SDC is the most significant revenue opportunity available to Parks to address growth. It is imperative that this opportunity is maximized to recover reasonable costs from new development.

  • Natural Areas Restoration Plan October 2010
    Natural Areas Restoration Plan October 2010 Update: March 2015 Natural Areas Restoration Plan Update March 18, 2015 Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) completed the first system wide Natural Areas Restoration Plan (plan) in October 2010. The plan was completed as a requirement for Salmon Safe certification. It established restoration goals and strategies, management priorities and implementation actions. It is currently used to set restoration priorities (staff effort and funding) for natural areas. The plan stated that there would be a review and update every 3-5 years. The 2014 update modified the functional methodology and revised the weighting to remove the emphasis on salmonids and their habitat needs. The 2014 Natural Area Management Priority Matrix changes are based on the updated natural resource function methodology and ecological health determined by the best professional judgment of the ecologist managing the site. The goals, strategies and implementation actions remain the same. This updates also includes the natural area properties purchased since 2010. Methodology Update The methodology update evaluated additional functions and created a new weighting system. The original plan weighted functions associated with salmon habitat the highest while this update does not. Some of the updated functions were assigned weighted scores on a scale of 3 (high) to 1 (low) similar to the scoring used in the 2010 plan. A natural area was also given points for Terrestrial Ecology Enhancement Strategy (TEES) special status habitats and City of Portland At-Risk Species. The functions included are: (see attached memo for details): Streams: Perennial, non-perennial and within 100 feet of the natural area.

  • Winter 2016 Volume XXIV, No
    Winter 2016 Volume XXIV, No. 1 Mark Your Calendars - Watershed Wide 2016 - Danielle Miles, Volunteer and Outreach Coordinator As the days begin to get longer again, the Oregon grapes and Indian plums begin to break their buds—reminding us that spring is coming, and with it, our annual Watershed Wide event. If you haven’t participated in this surge of volunteerism that spans the length of the Johnson Creek Watershed, you’ll want to mark your calendars. On March 5th, 400 volunteers are needed to tackle ten sites across the entire watershed—all in one day. We will remove invasive plant species, plant thousands of bare- root plants and live stake cuttings, and mulch young seedlings. After a morning of good hard work, we will feast together on hot pizza—compliments of the watershed council and our partners. There is nothing like biting into a slice of piping hot pizza after working outside, surrounded by the cheerful hum of friends and neighbors. Watershed Wide is truly an event too big for one organization alone to tackle. Our partners at Portland Parks and Recreation, the City of Gresham, Crystal Springs Partnership, Friends of Trees, and Friends of Tideman Johnson all help us pull off this day of community service; sponsors like Clackamas Water Environment Services help us cover some of the costs; and hundreds of volunteers help us get plants in the ground. Registration opens on February 1st, 2016. To sign up, visit the “Events Calendar” on our website (www.jcwc.org) and click on the Watershed Wide Event on March 5th.
