Please note that each member of the Committee is requested to prepare at least a rough outline of a report addressing the issues with respect to the water sport of his particular interest ( see the bottom of page 2 of the minutes ) . Also enclosed is a copy of the questionnaire developed and approved by RRAC members for submission to the PROS Committee . If you should have any questions , please contact the Recreation Department at 636- 9673 or Committee Chairman Frank Zagunis at his office , 635- 3408 . Sincerely , Tom Kelly Recreation Department Sr. Program Supervisor DGE/MG Enclosures ( Copies of minutes have also been sent to PROS Committee Members ) I, 380 A AVENUE/POST OFFICE BOX 369/LAKE OSWEGO,OREGON 97034/(503)636-9673 DEPARTMENT OF PARKS,RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE • NOTES FOR RRAC MEETING 12/ 13/88 PER GEOFF HEPLER , ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS , Water Elevations/ Weather info line ( 221 - 6468 ) For wind info , contact the National Weather Service Willamette River floods twice a year : January and June (when Columbia peaks and backs up to the locks at the Falls ) . The Corps has little info about daily water height , current , etc . They do have some info about highest observed levels , but they have no actual measurements . Neither does the other agency that might be expected to have such info , the USGS ( Geological Survey ) . If we are thinking of moorage , etc . , remember that during flooding , the normally moderate current in the channel - especially where the bend in the River is - spreads as far as the banks and gets to three or four times normal speed . Any moorages or other "structures " would have to be removeable , or built to withstand the high , fast current as well as logs and other big " flotsam " being rammed down the River , or at least protected to some extent by a log boom or something . • Mr . Hepler did think that a recreational area around LO for passive activities ( i . e. , non-motorized ) would be viable . Non- motorized because the only guaranteed channel is out in the middle , and around here rocks can protrude almost out to the middle . There could be trouble with motors using the area between the channel and the shore . Even in the middle the channel is unreliable because it is not maintained . But with passive recreation ( canoeing , rowing , crewing , kayaking , etc . ) the area of recreation should also be confined ( by buoys or whatever ) because barge and motor traffic has right of way. He said you may want to look at developing/enhancing a canoe-way , waterway outside the channel. He also suggested that we contact the State Marine Board in Salem ( 378-8587 ) regarding the feasibility of establishing a "special use area " extend9ing recreational area along a belt to be used for passive use only - say from Lake Oswego to the old West Linn Bridge (couldn ' t go above the Locks/ Falls ) . He even suggested that there could be a good rental business in canoes , kayaks , and the like at this end , because there aren ' t very many "protected " areas on the river set aside for passive use . Mr . Hepler again suggested we contact the State Marine Board . Apparently they put out a pamphlet with special comments about what ' s dangerous where and what ' s not . There are no published reports that he knows of which describe all the river conditions in a given area . They have some -1- • technical reports produced by the Corps that they are currently reviewing , but he was not willing to provide them. Even though , we should keep the Corps in mind for future information gathering and referrals . When asked if he had reports about where to find the fish , he said to let him know if we did a study that determined where the schools are - - then he suggested we contact the Fish and Wildlife Department : apparently there are agencies that are responsible for fish counts .

Memo: Lake Oswego Parks and Recreation Open Space Committee • From: Riverfront Recreation Advisory Committee Regarding: Progress Report Date: January 18, 1989 The Riverfront Recreation Advisory Committee has been meeting monthly for the last few months to discuss options on the recreational usage of the Willamette and Tualatin Rivers' effecting the Lake Oswego area. There is representation on the committee for fishing, canoeing, kayaking, rowing, sailing and motor boating. The intent of the committee is to develop recommendations on how the city could benefit by providing these activities in a more formal manner to the citizens of the community. A report is being developed which will include, but not be limited to, the following: - facilities, equipment and operations for each sport. 111 - safety classes, beginning to advanced instruction. - trips and events. - budgets - designed to produce income to the city - results from community survey. There has been considerable contributions from all members of the committee. Each member representing their sport has given much thought to ways they can improve the community with their special talents. The report could be ready as early as this summer, or possibly this spring. Please let us know if there are any specific areas you would like us to cover, or direction in which to go.
