MEMORANDUM
TO: Jack Hoffman, Mayor
Members of the City Council
Alex McIntyre, City Manager
FROM: Janine Dunphy, Chair, 50 + Advisory Board
SUBJECT: 50+ Advisory Board Council Report
Review of 2009 and Proposed 2010 Work Plan
DATE: December 7, 2009
BACKGROUND
The 50+ Advisory Board was created on July 15, 2006 per ordinance
No. 2347. Our duties are as follows:
a. Advise the City Council as to the needs and interests of City
residents who are 50 years of age and over.
b. Monitor trends in aging, research new programs and services
for people 50 years of age and over and provide the resulting
information to the City Council
c. Make recommendations to the City Council relating to current
and potential services, programs and facilities intended to
enhance the quality of life for City residents who are 50 years of
age and over.
d. Advise and make recommendations relating to actions of the
City Council that may affect residents who are 50 years of age
and over.
REVIEW OF 2009
1. The Neighbors Helping Neighbors project, initiated and spearheaded
by the 50+ Board in January of 2007, is now a successful bi-annual
event being handled by the City and Neighborhood Associations. Since
the first one held in fall of 2008 this project has helped many seniors
with yard clean-up through the help of numerous local volunteers.
1I
Review of 2009 - continued
2. Responding to community input regarding economic issues impacting
seniors the Board put together an Educational Seminar held on October
3, 2009. The speakers included a financial consultant, a reverse
mortgage specialist and an attorney. The information was very well
received by those present. Several attendees requested that we do
more similar events.
3. After the 50+ Board conducted an informal survey of Neighborhood
Associations regarding the interest level in looking at cross walk
safety or the need for additional crosswalks, it was determined that
this was not an area of concern for the majority of neighborhoods.
Project was terminated.
4. We continued to support the efforts of the Oakridge Park Senior
Development Project. This will enable approximately 40 low income
seniors to find housing to return to or remain in Lake Oswego.
5. We continued to encourage further progress on the revision of
Secondary Dwelling Units that would remove permit processing barriers.
6. Guest speakers at meetings included Denise Frisbee — Director of
Planning and Building; Bob Lawrence — Governors Commission on
Senior Services; Leslie Foren — Elders in Action; Grant Watkinson and
Ron Gronowski - Sustainability Board Members; Terry Keyes —
Transportation Advisory Board; Bob Galante — Redevelopment Director;
Denny Egner — Planning Director; Debra Andreades — Senior Planner;
Diana Shavey and Doug Oliphant — Oakridge Park Project; Gary and
Betty Buford — Citizens for Stewardship of LO Lands; Paul Lyons - Lake
Oswego Housing Study Group.
2I
2010 GOALS AND PROJECTS
HOUSING
1. Participate in the City's Comprehensive Plan Review (Goal 10)
to insure that housing choices are maintained, expanded and
flexible to accommodate for future needs and concept changes.
2. Work towards a final decision on the removal of the conditional
use aspect permit processing barriers to insure easier building of
SDU's. (This has been an ongoing goal of the 50+ Board, based
upon a recommendation in the Dialogue Report and subsequent
comments from citizens.)
3. Research and present to Council the application and
development of SDU's that have been successfully implemented in
other like communities.
4. Support the efforts of the infill task force to revise building codes
to incentivize the remodeling, repair and maintenance of existing
homes rather than encouraging tear downs. This approach would
support economic and social sustainability enabling citizens over
50 years old to remain in their homes and community.
TRANSPORTATION
Work in partnership with the Transportation Advisory Board on the
City's Comprehensive Plan Review (Goal 12) to insure that current
and future transportation needs of the 50+ demographic are being
addressed.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
1. Develop a plan and presentation to meet with Neighborhood
Associations and civic groups regarding the mission of the 50+
Board and to encourage a dialogue with citizens regarding the
needs and concerns of 50+ citizens in their respective
neighborhoods.
3I
Community Outreach - continued
2. Explore the possibility of working with Marylhurst University and
the Human Services Department in their efforts focused on the
needs of the 50+ population. Marylhurst has expressed a strong
interest in becoming more involved in the Lake Oswego
community and perhaps doing joint programs and events.
3. Establish relationships and coordinate with other Boards and
Commissions as appropriate.
EDUCATIONAL PANELS/SEMINARS
Develop a series of seminars designed to meet the interests and
needs of the 50+ demographic. Based on the comments from the
pilot program done in October, possible subjects would include:
additional information on wills and trusts, Powers of Attorney,
dealing with stress, caring for elderly parents, helping aging
parents to prepare for and address their changing needs, health
related topics such as dementia, finding employment after the age
of 50, financial planning and planning for life after retirement.
Thank you very much for your consideration of these projects. We
look forward to discussing these further at the December 7, 2009
presentation.

The program has broadened the range of available housing opportunities. In 2003, the program's first
full year, 35 accessory units were built, which is a significant increase over the eight units built in 2001.
Over the next five years, the city estimates that between 40 and 50 new accessory units will be built per
year. The program has been so successful that more than 80 cities throughout California have requested
copies of the ADU manual and ordinance. The EPA awarded it the Policies and Regulations Smart Growth
Achievement Award (http://www.epa.gov/smartgrowth/sg_awards_publication_2004.htm#policies_reg)
in 2004, and the program has also been recognized by the state chapters of the American Planning
Association (www.planning.org) and the American Institute of Architects (www.aia.org).
"...as my parents reached retirement age and found that they could no longer climb the stairs to
the second story bedroom, they began looking for alternative ways of staying in the neighbor-
hood ....With the help of the city's revised accessory dwelling unit ordinance, the design work-
shops, and the ADU loan program, we are now building the 'granny unit'of my parents'dreams."

(Adopted 11-18-09)
PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD
2010 Work Plan
1. Initiate a new Parks and Recreation Master Plan to insure the city's park system meets the
future needs of citizens. The new plan should incorporate priorities for natural areas and
open spaces, as well as including a separate study to update the Luscher Farm master
plan.
• Existing planning documents for Parks,recreation,and natural areas/open space are outdated and
can no longer be relied upon to represent community priorities.
• The current Parks &Recreation Comprehensive Plan does not contain natural area and open space
priorities. A future vision for the City's parks,recreational facilities, and natural areas should
include and balance priorities for all elements of the City's park system.
• The Luscher Farm Master Plan, completed in 1997, is outdated and includes only those properties
in ownership at the time the plan was developed. Eighty six additional acres have been purchased
in the Stafford area since the plan was completed.A revised plan is needed to ensure future
development continues to meet citizens' expectations, and is expanded to identify priorities for the
newly acquired properties.
• A new Parks and Recreation Master Plan will achieve the following:
i. Establish priorities, budgets, and liming for park capital development and natural area/open
space priorities for the next 5-15 years.
ii. Update policies and standards for development of parks and recreational facilities, and for
managing and maintaining the City's parks and natural areas. New policies/standards can be
incorporated into the City's Comprehensive Plan update.
iii. Establish a streamlined and less expensive method for periodic Master Plan updates.
iv. Define a future vision for the Luscher Farm/Stafford area park properties.
• The process for updating the Master Plan will draw from existing studies, such as the Open Space
Master Plan, Golf-Tennis Feasibility Study, and Community Center/Aquatics Study,to leverage
information previously gathered,and avoid duplication of efforts.
Goal:
- Appropriate$275,000 in funding in the FY10-11 budget to hire a consulting firm to work with
the City in preparing the Master Plan.
- Initiate the process in fall 2010. Final Plan completed in 2011.
2. Complete the following park projects in FY10-11,which were approved between 2006 and
2009 and are in various stages of development.
A. Construct the final segment of the Rosemont Pathway.
The first segment of the pathway was completed in 2006 and extends to the Firlane park
property. The second segment will complete Lake Oswego's portion of the trail and extend to
the Rosemont Arena park property.
Goal:
- Appropriate $450,000 in funding in the FY10-11 budget to construct the project.
(Note: approximately$350,000 in proceeds from the future sale of the Maple St.
property will reimburse the City's general fund)
2010 Parks&Recreation Advisory Board Work Plan, 11/18/09
B. Implement Phase 3 of the Cooks Butte Management Plan-Habitat and trail
improvements.
Cooks Butte Management Plan was adopted by Council in May 2008 and establishes a
framework to manage the City's natural resources in parks. The plan identifies three phases for
habitat restoration,frail improvements, and natural resource interpretive signage. Phases 1 and 2
are funded and will be complete by June 30, 2010.
Goal:
- Appropriate $75,000 in funding in the FY10-11 budget to implement phase 3, which includes
trail construction,and invasive plant removal and restoration. This will complete the final
phase of the Cooks Butte Management Plan.
C. Complete Installation of the Foothills Boat Dock
Include$106,000 in the FYI 0-11 budget for completion of the Foothills Boat Dock.
(a request will be made to the Oregon State Marine Board to cover 50%of this cost).
D. Construct Phase 5 of the George Rogers Park Master Plan.
The Development Review Commission approved a development application for the next phase
of George Rogers Park in April 2009. This phase of development includes street, storm water,
and parking upgrades on Ladd St.;the addition of ADA accessible pedestrian pathways; and
upgrades to ball field bleachers, dugouts,picnic shelters, and playground.
Goal:
- Identify a funding source and construct the project in FY10-11. Approximate cost of the
project is$2.9 million($1.5 million is street/storm water related costs; $1.4 million is park
related).
3. Initiate recommendations from the Golf-Tennis Feasibility Study beginning in 2010.
The Golf-Tennis Feasibility Study will be presented to City Council on December 15, 2009. The
study is an in depth analysis of the existing golf and tennis markets, operational analyses of each
facility, and a review of options the City may consider for improving the long term profitability of
the golf and tennis facilities,as well as the enhancing the recreational experience for Lake Oswego
residents.
The study contains a number of recommendations the City Council should consider in the short and
long term regarding funding mechanisms,marketing improvements, and facility upgrades for the
Golf Course; and facility expansion for the Tennis Center.
The Parks&Recreation Advisory Board will be discussing the report and recommendations with the
City Council on December 15, and will urge the City Council to take steps in 2010 to begin
implementing the recommendations. The PRAB 2010 Work Plan will be updated accordingly
following die December 15 meeting.
4. Encourage City Council to continue to provide for adequate program space for parks and
recreation programs while determining the disposition of the West End Building.
PRAB believes there are significant citizen needs that are not addressed with current city facilities.
To address these needs we recommend that facilities for active recreation and instructional programs
be given a high priority during the decision making process for the West End Building.
