Forster A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Thesis Committee: David A. Horowitz, Chair Richard H. Beyler David A. Johnson Sue Taylor Portland State University ©2011 ABSTRACT Founded in 1892, the Portland Art Association (PAA) served as Oregon’s and the Pacific Northwest’s leading visual arts institution for almost a century. While the Association formally dissolved in 1984, its legacy is felt strongly today in the work of its successor organizations, the Portland Art Museum and Pacific Northwest College of Art. Emerging during a period of considerable innovation in and fervent advocacy for the arts across America, the Association provided the organizational network and resources around which an energetic and diverse group of city leaders, civic reformers and philanthropists, as well as artists and art educators, coalesced. -
Policy Session Worksheet
CLACKAMAS COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Policy Session Worksheet Presentation Date: 02/26/19 Approx. Start Time: 3:00 p.m. Approx. Length: 30 mins. Presentation Title: Willamette Falls Locks Briefing Department: Public and Government Affairs Presenters: Trent Wilson and Gary Schmidt Other Invitees: Dan Johnson (DTD, Director); Greg Geist (WES, Director); Laura Zentner (BCS, Director); Danielle Cowan (Tourism & Cultural Affairs, Executive Director) WHAT ACTION ARE YOU REQUESTING FROM THE BOARD? The Board of County Commissioners is being asked to consider if Clackamas County is willing to be a recipient of state funding to repair the Willamette Falls Locks, and manage relevant repairs while a new owner is being established. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Willamette Falls Locks State Commission (established by SB 256 in 2017) has advanced two legislative concepts for the 2019 State Legislative Session. HB 2304 authorizes issuance of lottery bonds to finance acquisition and restoration of Willamette Falls Locks. HB 2305 authorizes the Department of State Lands to perform work to acquire and restore operation of the Willamette Falls Locks. HB 2304 is a capital funding mechanism, while HB 2305 is a mechanism to determine non-federal ownership. As discussions have evolved at the legislative session, leaders in Salem have asked for more work to be done on HB 2305, related to the ownership questions. This works is being done by the Willamette Falls Locks State Commission members and staff. Meanwhile, the funding bill continues with good support at the state level. This separation of bills has left the question, if the funding bill were to pass and not the ownership bill, where will the money live should it be provided by the Legislature. -

2016 Before-And-After Studies Report to Congress
Before-and-After Studies of New Starts Projects Report to Congress March 2017 Prepared by: Office of Planning and Environment Federal Transit Administration U.S. Department of Transportation www.transit.dot.gov 2 FOREWORD This eighth annual report to Congress on Before-and-After Studies summarizes the findings for three projects that opened to service in 2011 and 2012, presented in order of their opening date: 1. Mid-Jordan Light Rail Project; Salt Lake City, UT (August 2011) 2. Northshore Connector Light Rail Project; Pittsburgh, PA (March 2012) 3. Streetcar Loop Project; Portland, OR (September 2012) Before-and-After Studies help sponsoring agencies and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to accumulate insights into the actual costs and impacts of major capital transit investments and to evaluate the accuracy of the predictions of the costs and impacts made for these projects. Each Before-and-After Study documents the actual outcomes of a New Starts or Small Starts project in five dimensions: physical scope, capital costs, transit service levels, operating and maintenance costs, and ridership. To support this part of the study, project sponsors collect data on actual conditions before and after implementation of the project. The “before” data collection occurs before any impacts of the project are realized – soon before the project opens to service or, in some cases, before project construction disrupts transit service and ridership in the corridor. The “after” data collection for physical scope and capital costs occurs immediately after project opening. The “after” data collection for changes in transit service, operating and maintenance costs, and ridership occurs two years after the project opens in order to permit conditions to stabilize. -

Willamette Falls Locks Willamette River Oregon Section 216 Preliminary Draft Disposition Study with Integrated Environmental Assessment
WILLAMETTE FALLS LOCKS WILLAMETTE RIVER OREGON SECTION 216 PRELIMINARY DRAFT DISPOSITION STUDY WITH INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Page 0 of 163 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Willamette Falls Locks Disposition Study is being conducted in order to determine whether sufficient federal interest exists to retain the project for its authorized purpose and, if not, to determine whether the project should be de-authorized, and if the associated real property and Government-owned improvements should undergo disposal. As part of the study effort, the analysis seeks to identify the necessary actions to prepare the facility for disposal and to develop a preliminary opinion regarding the marketability of the project, taking into account known stakeholder interests, local opportunities, and the capability of potential end users. The Willamette Falls Locks (Locks), the oldest multi-lift bypass navigation lock in the nation, is a six chamber lock system with 41 feet elevation change between the first and last chambers. The Locks operate by gravity flow, draining water from one lock chamber into the next through a set of slide gates located in the bottom of each gate. The authorized purpose of the project is to provide navigation between the waterway upstream and downstream of Willamette Falls (Falls), one of the largest waterfalls based on water volume in the United States. It is located approximately 26.2 river miles upstream on the Willamette River from the confluence with the Columbia River. The locks are near the cities of West Linn and Oregon City, Oregon, about 20 miles upstream of Portland, Oregon. Owned and operated by the U.S. -

Appendix; News Articles and Images 1852-Present 42 Introduction Kellogg Lake has been a central geographical feature in Milwaukie for over 160 years, but today most Milwaukie citizens, even the Lake’s immediate neighbors, have little interaction with it. Technically speaking, Kellogg Lake is a man-made “impoundment” with a surface area of about 14 acres. Originally, Kellogg Creek was dammed to power the Standard Mill in 1858 and it served as a mill pond for about three decades. According to the US Army Corps of Engineers (2002), the original stream channel has become masked deep within the lakebed by about 17,500 cubic yards of sediment that is contaminated above legal standards set by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) for both DDT and Chlordane. It has experienced frequent sewer overflows and is the recipient of a significant amount of stormwater runoff from surrounding residential properties, Lake Rd, and McLoughlin Blvd. -
