There might be opportunities to benefit the parks and also provide opportunities for the kids to do something outside helping the community. PUBLIC COMMENT: Gale Walmark, FOLF Friends of Luscher Farm very much appreciates that you agreed to prioritize several Luscher projects at your March meeting this year, putting the new Luscher Access and improvement parking at the top of the 9-project unfunded CIP list. (see Appendix) You also included a Luscher Environmental Classroom (#5) and Expansion of Agriculture (#6). For our part—having learned the Education Center would not be allowed under the current EFU zoning without a Goal #3 exception—FOLF is prioritizing the new Access& Parking and expanding agricultural use, both of which are allowed and doable—and long overdue. Of course,funding for these projects, which had been intended to come from the 2019 Parks Bond, was diverted to cover LORAC and Rassekh. So, finding funding solutions is now of the utmost importance. • As a reminder, in the 2019 scientific survey conducted to get community preferences for the bond money—which did not include the critical new Luscher access & parking project—two LAMP projects nevertheless were in the Top 10 of 18 options. We'll be pleased if some portion of the $2.3MM Metro Local Share funds is directed for Luscher, but are not optimistic about receiving any, and are certain that what we might get would not cover the costs of design and implementation. Therefore, FOLF has set its sights on ensuring that our two Luscher priority projects are included among the initiatives for City Council's 2024 Parks Goal... And we are respectfully requesting the Parks Board to join that effort. It's our position that despite broad community support, Luscher projects have been consistently and unfairly deemed less important and left in limbo for too long. Now is the time to elevate Luscher project to action and to find and commit funding for them. In our view,that will happen only if Council can be persuaded to adopt them as a 2024 Parks Goal initiative. A clear message from the Parks Board would go a long way to achieving that result. Doug:Would like the Board to have a conversation recommending prioritizing Luscher projects to City Council.Add to the December or January agenda.

Jason suggested the topic of Social Media be included in a future agenda to discuss how Social Media plays a part in public engagement. DEI UPDATE: Sarah Ellison and Greg Wolley PARKS Board DEI Working Group met to discuss their high priority recommendations. 4IPage High Priority Recommendations to the Board: • Improved access to LOPR program scholarships o A policy goal that the percentage of Parks& Rec programming supported by scholarships should reflect the percentage of the community that is low-income. • Lake access o A policy goal that all members of the community should have access to the lake for swimming and for the use of non-motorized craft (i.e., canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards). o Recommend addition to the CIP list. • Full day summertime recreational programming o Full day programming may reduce barriers for working families. • Splash pad(s) o Free access to water recreation. • Bilingual staffing/programming • Better accessibility information (site specific) • Transportation to Parks& Rec facilities • Outreach to assess recreational/parks needs of specific groups and to ensure they know of available programming o Kids/families with IEP/504 o Foster families o Respite care for caretakers of special needs children Ed Becker brought up the question about Lake access. Ivan suggested inviting the City Attorney to attend a future meeting to get the legal stance on the subject and to go over the Litigation and phases. Sarah commented the DEI working group want to wrap up the framework to align with the 2040 plan so it is included in Parks Plan 2040. 2023 ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Co-Chairs,Jason Dorn and Doug McKean 2023 Goals for Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Advisory Board (PARKS Board) 1. Prioritization of Capital Improvement Projects(CIPs). The action the board took towards this goal was a continued discussion over a few meetings prioritizing the CIP list.The board heard reports from Ivan between the end of December 2022 and the beginning of 2023.The Parks board the discussing working specifically on prioritization of unfunded projects at the March 2023 meeting. The board approved their CIP prioritization at the March meeting. Jason stated the board accomplished that goal.The Parks board clearly accomplished this goal by effectively setting the CIP prioritization list.Jason stated the one item he wasn't 100%clear on after reviewing everything that took place over the past year,whether or not, members of the board communicated those priorities back to City Council. He wants to say the board did, but couldn't find, anything in the minutes that stated the Parks board prioritization of the CIP projects were brought before Council. Councilor Corrigan told members of the board,the City Council will be looking for that information in the next month.The Parks board did do their 2023 goals presentation in the context of funding projects update to the council which your priorities were related to that.The SIPage board could bring that back and refine the Board's prioritization of capital improvement projects and communicate updated recommendations to the City Council. 2. Diversity, Equity,and Inclusion (DEI). Working with the DEI board and the Parks department,the working group met to develop an implementation framework for DEI and the parks department with a focus on expanding access to amenities to historically marginalized and underserved communities. The DEI working group will bring the framework to the board for review and advise on departmental implementation of the DEI framework.There has been a lot of progress discussing the framework.Jason shared, he went through his meeting notes the past year,the minutes, and recollection of things that went on over the course of the year. The 1st, big action,the board established the working group back in April of this year and then we, as a board discussed some priorities for the working group.The working group discussions have brought issues to the forefront.The Working group updates the board on their progress.The Parks board will wait to hear and fully understand what will be the delivery of the DEI framework component.The working group will continue meeting and reporting progress to the board which is great. For all intents and purposes the board accomplished this goal.The action towards the DEI goal, the working group will bring the first draft of the framework to the board for review. 3. Public Engagement and Outreach. The board set a goal around public engagement and outreach to define and evaluate methods for public outreach and engagement such as the steering committee to help guide the Department's future planning, efforts on projects, such as Parks Plan 2040 and capital improvement projects. Public engagement and outreach results help to determine the role of the parks board in the planning process and how to participate accordingly and make recommendations to the department,the preferred method of public involvement as it relates to the 2040 plan and Rassekh park. The board supported engagement with youth, programming and work internship opportunities.There was a lot tied to this goal. Jason Identified some actions the board took in October and November of 2022 and 2023. • Board discussion how to improve public engagement and outreach,January 2023. • February presentation on Parks plan 2040, given by Kyra gave the board an opportunity to see the ways how public engagement would be achieved during that planning process and included a board liaison position. An excellent step towards achieving that goal. • Staff reported back to the board at the October meeting how public engagement has taken place over the past several months.The board learned about the formation of the steering committee and the survey that's gone out as well as City events,farmers markets and other cultural events around town engaging directly with the community. • Going beyond parks plan 2040, Eileen Koh, last year's youth member create an internship within the parks department. Another clear step towards accomplishing that goal. There may be some things missed but those are the biggest highlights. In review of the board's efforts in the last year and the actions the board has seen within the department together, indicate successful achievement of this goal. Additional Interests • Continue to advocate for inclusive parks and recreational opportunities. • Support implementation of Lake Oswego's Climate Action Plan, including support for Lake Oswego's Bee City designation. • Support revision of Lake Oswego's Urban & Community Forestry Plan. 6I DEEP DIVE: FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE, FY 2022-23 Ivan Anderholm, Director of Parks & Recreation The name has been changed to Financial Summary.The numbers covered on the Financial Summary are posted on the City Website as well. Since 2020 there has been quite a lot of volatility. The department started reporting on Parks & Recreation financial performance.The financial performance concerns came from City Council and the Citizen Budget Committee in the 2012-13 financial performance of primarily recreation programs. In the time since we have adopted a comprehensive cost recovery program that the department uses for all recreational programs that are fee programs or free programs. The department went through a process with a consultant where we establish a continuum of low cost recovery programs that benefit the community largely or benefit vulnerable persons, seniors,young people or people with disabilities.The continuum goes from low cost recovery or no cost recovery, 100%subsidy in some cases where the department provide a service or an event to the community to bring together. On the other side of the spectrum. For example,fencing classes that sell out and have waitlist. It is an individual benefit to the person in this class. For this type of class there is a percentage range that we use for recovery of our total costs of providing that to the public where we expect the person engaging in that activity to actually pay for Parks & Recreation activities and then a little more so that we can further subsidize programs that have a larger community benefit. That is kind of the basis that drives these numbers. In 2020 to 2023, which are 3 fiscal years that there's some volatility and there is some trending over all the actual cost to the average household is actually trending where we need it to be. We're staying within the costs of services,that is a huge indicator for us as we put the numbers together, and compare previous years.There is a lot of background information that is behind the summaries as we look at that,we look at areas where we need to improve, or we look for anomalies. There are some anomalies on the recreational side as well as where we have increased expenditures. An increase in expenditures and maybe not correspond with the revenue the department would expect. What staff will do after putting the summary together is to dive deeper into why that was. There is a multitude of reasons. Some of the reasons have to do with us trying to restart programs after COVID,where we would have programs that were not completely full, but we had full staffing for these activities,that is one where you see a little bit of a difference, especially in year 2021, especially looking at 2020 to 2021 and 2022 fiscal year. Looking at percentages overall on recreation programs.The department had a hit on the program percentage of recovery rate from 2021-2022.This being the first season that we did not. We're not operating with the school district, cost for facilities have gone up substantially.The department have not taken that on entirely charging participants, the actual cost running programs.The department percentages have changed, especially with sports programs,where the department is relying on school district gyms or fields.The department had a reciprocal use agreement where the City didn't get charged for use of LOSD facilities and now we are.There is a bit of a swing and the department is trying to dig down into that and normalize that and really see what the effect is for Fiscal year 2022/23 and 2023/2 fiscal strategy, knowing that the department is going to have some of that.The department increased a little bit in expenditures in Management Services on the other side and set aside some money to help offset the new facility costs and not pass it on directly to the customer. Hopefully the department can engage the district and come up with a more reasonable and equitable share community facilities. There is a lot of information in the financial summary and a lot of information behind it.The positive is we see that the department is pretty consistent in the budgeting, especially expenditure budgeting, we are fairly consistent and what the department is actually expending in a year out, which is nice.The department have some fluctuation on revenue. Larger trends the idea is keep that in line, knowing that is how our budget works is the department gets an allocation. We are very beloved by the community, and we're very supported by the community, but it would not be fiscally responsible for us to want to spike costs. On the back side of the work that we do,Jeff, myself, all of our program managers do is to 7IPage work cumulatively so that we keep the budget very consistent with no spikes.This upcoming year is going to be very interesting.As you're all are aware we are bringing on a whole other recreation facility in 2024.These numbers are going to change dramatically. The department are still looking to keep the cost of the average household and that cost per 1000, assess relatively the same. We have an aggressive approach to how we're going to operate the LORAC, and what those services are and through the restructuring of staff, and how we are going to be aligning programs. We feel that we're actually going to be more efficient and grow in some areas that the community has asked us to do. STAFF AND BOARD MONTHLY UPDATE: • Kyra: We had a community open house at the ACC last night, November 14.There were probably around 35 or 40 people who showed up. Had a really cool map exercise for those who showed up. We will be presenting at the December meeting a summary of the community engagement,what is still yet to come and also the draft goals.A statistically valid survey went out with over 1000 responses. The next regular scheduled meeting will be Wednesday, December 20, 2023,4 to 6 p.m. Doug McKean adjourned the meeting at approximately 6:09 pm.

Subquently,the City of Lake Oswego made the survey available to all community members(Community Engagement). Research Methodology General population Respondents were contacted randomly from a list of registered voters.' Telephone respondents were contacted by a live interviewer and text-to-online respondents received a text invitation directing them to an online survey. In gathering responses, a variety of quality control measures were employed, including questionnaire pre-testing and validation. Quotas were set by gender, age, educational attainment, race and ethnicity, and area of the city. Community engagement After general population survey,the City of Lake Oswego opened the survey to all community members. The city shared the online survey link though various communication channels to ensure the widest reach. Statement of Limitations The General Population survey consisted of 403 Lake Oswego residents, and the Community Engagement portion consisted of 780 residents,for a total of 1,183 respondents.The survey took approximately 13 minutes to complete. General population Any sampling of opinions or attitudes is subject to a margin of error.The margin of error is a standard statistical calculation that represents differences between the sample and total population at a confidence interval, or probability, calculated to be 95%.This means that there is a 95% probability that the sample taken for this study would fall within the stated margin of error if compared with the results achieved from surveying the entire population.The margin of error for this survey is ±4.9%. 1 In November 2022,94%of eligible Oregonians were registered to vote.Given the city's demographic profile it is likely higher in Lake Oswego. #I ■ ■ ■ . 11110110010 • • glum 01 - PARKS PLAN 2040 MEETING MATERIALS Community engagement Community engagement surveys do not rely on random sampling and therefore, a margin of error cannot be calculated.

The current Plan ("Parks Plan 2025") was adopted in 2012. Much has changed in Lake Oswego since the adoption of Parks Plan 2025, including numerous park and facility upgrades and improvements, construction of new parks and amenities funded by the 2019 Parks Bond, and changing needs and preferences as a result of demographic shifts in the community. While Parks Plan 2025 has served as an important guide over the past decade, it's time to take a fresh look at the parks, facilities, activities, and services that Lake Oswego Parks & Recreation offers. The Parks Plan 2040 process will be guided by input from community members, the Community Advisory Committee (CAC), the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Advisory Board (PRNRAB), and the Lake Oswego City Council. The planning process will provide numerous opportunities for community members to provide their input on the goals, policies, and objectives of the Plan, with a focus on making engagement events equitable and inclusive to all Lake Oswego community members. Ultimately, the Lake Oswego City Council will consider adoption of the final Plan. Parks Plan 2040 Framework This strategic framework will provide guidance for developing and implementing Parks Plan 2040 to ensure that decisions align with the community's vision and priorities. It includes the vision, goals, and objectives for parks, natural areas, recreation facilities, activities, and services. Together, these provide a foundation for system-wide recommendations. More specific improvements and other recommendations will be developed in later phases of the planning process based on community and stakeholder input, advisory board guidance, and a technical analysis of the parks system. This initial working draft provides a starting point to discuss the shared future vision with the community. It is based on outcomes of Phase 1 outreach and analysis, including initial focus group conversations, and meetings with City staff and the PRNRAB, as well as recent or ongoing plans or efforts including the City's Comprehensive Plan, the Climate Action Plan, and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The intent is to build on and refine this initial draft as community outreach and engagement continues to inform and shape Parks Plan 2040. LAKE OSWEGO PARKS PLAN 2040 12 PARKS PLAN 2040 MEETING MATERIALS The framework is organized by one overarching vision, goals, and subsequent objectives that give the community, stakeholders, and decision-makers a clear picture of the desired Lake Oswego parks and recreation system of the future.

(will be identified later in the panning process) RELATION TO THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The City developed Parks Plan 2025 to provide citywide guidance for parks and recreation within the framework of the City's current Comprehensive Plan which had a planning period of 2035. Parks Plan 2040 will continue to align with the Comprehensive Plan, while presenting a renewed vision for the parks, trails, and natural areas system in Lake Oswego. Comprehensive Plan Vision In 2035, Lake Oswego is a thriving, sustainable city, meeting the community's needs without compromising the needs of future generations. Our community is recognized for its quality of life, exceptional schools, and excellent local government. Our multi-generational neighborhoods, healthy natural resources, vibrant mixed-use shopping, employment districts, and diverse services and activities are accessible to all. LAKE OSWEGO PARKS PLAN 2040 PARKS PLAN 2040 MEETING MATERIALS Draft Vision Elements Based on initial outcomes of the Parks Plan 2040 process, the following elements describe the envisioned future parks and recreation system. Additional involvement and feedback from the community will be used to continue to shape these elements into a single vision statement that will be used to guide plan recommendations. • The City of Lake Oswego provides an inclusive park and recreation system that is enjoyed by all neighborhoods, community members, and visitors. • Parks, natural areas, recreation facilities, activities, events, and services are integral to the fabric and character of the community and provide memorable and enriching experiences, connections, and contribute to a healthy environment. • The interconnected park and recreation system is sustainable and resilient, and supported by collaborative community partnerships. Draft Goals and Objectives The goals and objectives provide system-wide guidance to achieve the community vision.

LAKE OSWEGO PARKS PLAN 2040 18 PARKS PLAN 2040 ME MATERIALS MEMORANDUM anr �" ° °R LAKE OSWEGO PARKS PLAN 2040 TO: Parks Plan 2040 CAC and PRNRAB FROM: Parks Plan 2040 Project Team DATE: November 27, 2023 SUBJECT: Park and Recreation Facility Classification System Update Background Park and recreation facilities are classified by type in order to evaluate standards for service, identify compatible recreation amenities and opportunities, and guide strategic investments for a varied park and recreation system. Classifications are driven by a park or facility's physical attributes such as its size, geographic location, and natural features, as well as how it is used by the community and the types of amenities or experiences it offers. Lake Oswego's previous park and recreation system plan (Parks Plan 2025) classified Lake Oswego's parks both according to their size and function (scale) as well as their level of development(character) to form a matrix park classification system. During the existing conditions assessment phase of Parks Plan 2040, Lake Oswego Parks & Recreation determined that the classification system from Parks Plan 2025 did not work well for planning and reporting purposes, or for regional or national benchmarking. The project team reviewed park classification systems used by other communities throughout the region and state, and also looked to state and national best practices regarding classifications, benchmarking, and level of service standards. Staff developed a revised classification system that includes nine new park and facility categories. Parks Plan 2040 Park and Recreation Facility Classification System Similar to Parks Plan 2025,the revised classification system considers both size and scale, and also provides guidance related to what types of amenities should be provided,what types of recreation activities may be compatible, how the park or facility should function, and who are its primary users. The revised system will be used to help guide planning and investment in Lake Oswego's park and recreation system through the year 2040. LAKE OSWEGO PARKS PLAN 2040 I 1 PARKS PLAN 2040 MEETING MATERIALS Recreation Facilities Recreation facilities are staffed, owned, and operated by Lake Oswego Parks& Recreation.They serve the entire community by providing year-round recreation activities, services, and programs.They vary in size and may be located within parks or exist as standalone sites.

Neighborhood parks are designed primarily for use by local neighborhood residents, and amenities such as parking, restrooms, or sports fields may be limited. Examples: Rossman Park, Westridge Park F. I- r Pocket Parks Pocket parks are small sites that serve the immediate neighborhood with limited basic recreation amenities. Pocket parks are designed primarily for use by nearby neighbors within walking or rolling distance. They do not provide amenities such as parking or restrooms.

Recreation in natural areas usually involves passive, low-impact activities, such as walking, biking, and watching wildlife. Natural areas may also include small portions of land that are developed with trailhead amenities such as restrooms, parking, and picnic areas.

Proximity and walkability to parks provides a variety of benefits such as improved public health outcomes and greater social connectivity. The park access analysis and equity index mapping identify areas of Lake Oswego that are underserved by parks as well as other gaps or service inequities in the existing system. Together, they provide a more detailed snapshot of Lake Oswego's needs and opportunities, helping inform and prioritize future investment in the park system. The Parks Plan 2040 access analysis and equity index mapping approach builds on what was completed in Parks Plan 2025, while bringing in additional available data to identify areas that lack convenient access to parks and areas that lack access to certain types of essential park services. The steps in the proposed process are outlined below. Existing System Mapping To inform the park access analysis, Lake Oswego's existing park and recreation system was mapped. Map 1: Existing Park System Map: This map shows the existing parks and recreation facilities in Lake Oswego and how each site is classified (regional park, community park, neighborhood park, pocket park, natural area, trail corridor, undeveloped open space, urban plaza, or recreational facility). Map 2: Existing Park Maintenance Tiers: This map shows how each park and facility is maintained (basic, standard, natural area, standard/natural area, enhanced or maintained by others). Park Access Analysis Using ArcGIS Network Analyst', the following maps will consider the actual paths of travel to parks and essential park services to identify areas that are served and unserved by parks. The selected essential park services were identified by the Parks Plan 2025 PARKS PLAN 2040 MEETING MATERIALS process and align with Parks Plan 2040 engagement efforts, including: exercise and sports, play for children, and experiencing nature. Map 3:All Parks Access Map: This map will show areas within walking distance (1/4 and 1/2 mile of park access points, or a 10-minute walk) to all existing parks and facilities. Map 4-6: Essential Service Access Maps: These maps will show areas within walking distance of parks and facilities with each essential park service (exercise and sports, play for children, and experiencing nature) to help identify service inequities within the existing system. Map 7: Park Access Gap Area Map: This map will identify gap areas that are not currently within walking distance of parks and facilities, and/or essential park services. Equity Index Mapping The gap areas identified In Map 7 will be further evaluated using equity-based characteristics to note areas with a higher severity of need. Once equity index mapping is complete, an analysis of severity of need will be completed to identify opportunities to serve park access gaps. Map 8-12: Equity Index Maps: These maps will utilize different demographic and socio- economic census block group data to visualize the gap areas with the greatest need in Lake Oswego, including any concentrations of traditionally underserved communities. Potential equity indicators include youth under 18, populations over 65, communities of color, residential density, and populations with a disability.
