HAYOR'S ANNUAL HESSAQE Mayor's Office, Portland, Or., January 1, 1900. To the Honorable Common Council of the City of Portland, Oregon: Gentlemen—Pursuant to and in compliance with section 36 of the charter of the City of Portland, I herewith present to you a statement of the existing conditions of our city's affairs, together with a few recommendations, to which I sincerely hope you will give careful consideration. First, let us remember our departed brothers. Many have gone the way of all mankind during the past year; the way all must go when called by the great Master to render a final account of their steward- ship. One in particular I would mention at this time, one loved by all who knew him, one whose loss was mourned by the entire state, but more particularly by this city, where he had become endeared to the people by his kindly manner and many charitable acts, has paid the penalty of birth, and his spirit has been gathered home to the God who gave it. I speak of our departed Mayor, Hon. W. S. Mason, who passed away on March 27, 1899, and while this municipality regrets the loss of its chief executive, yet all must bow to the inevitable, and let us all hope that when we are called to stand before our Maker we will be as well prepared to render a faithful accounting as was he of whom I speak. By a careful perusal of the following figures, you will see that a saving has been made during the past year for the taxpayers of about $100,000. This result must indeed be very gratifying, not only to yourselves, but to the taxpayers generally, and no doubt will rebound with credit to the officials who have produced the above result. How- ever, all is not gold that glitters, and the truth of this old axiom is, I believe, fully borne out in this case. In order to make this enormous reduction in our city's ex- penses, it has been necessary to sacrifice, to some extent, the efficiency of some of our departments, which in the long run may not prove eco- nomical. As, for instance, in the department of street-cleaning and sprinkling, we find during the year ending December 31, 1898, that this department cost the City of Portland $49,673.39, while the year ending 18 MAYOR'S MESSAGE.

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Michelle Lee Talal for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science presented on May 7, 2019 Title: Exploring Urban Parks: Plant Communities, Visitor Experiences, and Manager Perspectives in Portland, Oregon Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Mary V. Santelmann Urban parks are biodiversity hotspots within cities and have the potential to provide a range of socio-cultural benefits for people, but may not always meet the needs and desires of park visitors. A variety of land use practices and environmental factors affect urban park biodiversity and vegetation structure, composition, and ecological function, but more studies are needed to compare plant taxonomic composition, biodiversity patterns, and species traits across different types of urban green spaces. Additionally, there is a lack of research that explores park user experiences, vegetation perceptions, and accessibility issues in a range of urban park types interspersed throughout Portland using qualitative methods to observe and interview visitors on-site. More research is also needed that focuses on interviewing park managers about their perspectives on park benefits and management. The findings of my interdisciplinary dissertation may assist managers in their aims to achieve various ecological goals, as well as meet the needs and desires of park visitors within increasingly developed urban areas. The purpose of this research is three-fold, and includes examining: 1) The relationships between plant community composition, biodiversity patterns, environmental variables, and species traits in a range of urban parks in Portland, Oregon; 2) how the vegetation in these urban parks currently meets the needs and desires of visitors; and 3) how park managers currently manage vegetation in the parks to meet the needs and desires of visitors.
