Historic Furnace Restoration Task Force
Mission:
The Task Force is created to develop options for restoring the Lake Oswego Historic Furnace and
implementing the historic interpretation design at George Rogers Park. The Task Force will
report its findings to the City Council by May--1, 2005 and will include cost estimates for all
options,strategies to secure the funding necessary to complete the recommended proposal,and a
recommended timeline for completion.
Tasks and Reports:
The Task Force will work with City staff on a plan that will include stabilizing the furnace and
providing options for the public to have greater visual access to the building while preserving the
furnace's physical and historic integrity.
The Task Force will research potential funding options, including a campaign to raise private
donations as well as researching various grant opportunities to pay for furnace restoration and
implementation of the historic interpretation design.
The Task Force will prepare a report including restoration, funding options, and recommended
timeline along with a recommendation for review by the City Council by May 1, 2005.
Project Funding:
The City will commit to spending up to $100,000 on the restoration of the furnace, or 50% of the
restoration cost(including consulting fees),whichever is less.The City will commit up to
$20,000 to initiate the project, with the balance of the City's commitment to be included in the
City's Budget for the 2005-07 Biennium. However, the balance of the City's commitment will not
be obligated until such time as matching funds from other sources has been identified. In
addition,the City will commit to spending up to $50,000 on implementation of the historic
interpretation design and will also include this amount in the City's budget for 2005-07,
contingent upon matching monies being secured.
Because the City's financial commitment is capped at the above amount,any restoration options
proposed by the task force that exceed this budget must include identification of available private
funding sources adequate to complete the project.

Two members appointed by the Oswego Heritage Council
