Since I was assigned PP&R in September 2018, I have been working with bureau leadership, partner organizations, and my team to better understand the challenges and opportunities facing the bureau in 2019 and beyond. The Mayor’s new budget process allows us to take a deep dive into the bureau’s work, asking staff to rebuild their budget line by line, from the ground up, reviewing costs and revenues in a comprehensive way. Through this work, PP&R has identified a persistent and acute structural problem – one we must address this year. A significant portion of the bureau’s budget is dependent on program fees, which have remained relatively flat in recent years. At the same time, the bureau has significantly expanded its staffing, operations, and programming. Costs will continue to outpace revenue from fees, and the problem will only grow unless we address the challenge with new solutions. City of Portland Parks & Recreation - Requested1221 SW Budget Fourth FY Avenue, 2019-20 Room 240 ♦ Portland, Oregon 97204 - 1998 Page 1 (503) 823-3589 ♦ FAX (503) 823-3596 ♦ TDD (503) 823-6868 ♦ [email protected] We are still working to understand the amount of the gap. PP&R staff have been working closely with the independent City Budget Office to structure a schedule that is aligned with the City budget process and which allows us to thoughtfully prepare and present proposals to put the bureau back on solid footing. The requested budget before you shows a placeholder of $6.3 million for the projected gap in the next fiscal year, and includes a placeholder reduction to address that gap – this is a reflection of the best information we have at this time. We are already taking steps – we have limited hiring, spending, and training – that will help in both the near- and long-term. In the coming weeks we will be working to identify and develop strategies to close this gap. Those proposals will be presented to Council at the PP&R budget work session in March. Portlanders love their parks and their recreation programs. While Council will have to make hard choices this year, we will work to protect and preserve access to the places and the resources our community treasures. Thank you for your consideration. Page 2 City of Portland Parks & Recreation - Requested Budget FY 2019-20 February 4, 2019 Dear Mayor Wheeler and City Council, The Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) Budget Advisory Committee (BAC) is responsible for advising Interim Director Selley and Commissioner Fish on the bureau’s FY 2019-20 budget. This responsibility is particularly serious this year given the unprecedented adjustments necessary to align expenses with General Fund and fee revenue resources. We fully support efforts to put PP&R on a path to financial sustainability and commend the bureau’s proactive, transparent, and thoughtful approach to identifying the structural deficit we currently face. The new budget process surfaced difficult problems, but we support Mayor Wheeler’s budget initiative and believe the long-term results of the process will put PP&R on a more solid footing. The BAC met three times to review PP&R’s program offerings and develop an understanding of the bureau’s
