CityBudgetUpdateby Jennifer Yocom, Community Relations Manager,Portland Parks & Recreation

As you may know, the City of Portland is facing a $25 million deficit for fiscal year 2013-14. Several factors have impacted this deficit including the Multnomah County Library District, the recent Department of Justice settlement, and budget notes from the FY 2012-13 Adopted Budget. With that, the Mayor and City Council have asked all City bureaus, including Parks, to develop a budget based on 90% of their current budget (the Current Appropriation Level). That means Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) faces up to a 10% cut in programs and services.

While we don’t know what PP&R’s final budget will be at this point, it is possible that certain programs will be changed, reduced or eliminated, or fees will increase to help cover costs.

Follow the process at www.portlandoregon.gov/parks/budget, and find out more about community budget forums where you can testify at www.portlandoregon.gov/cbo. The City’s final budget should be adopted in June and implemented on July 1, 2013, the first day of the new fiscal year.

The work of PP&R—its parks, natural areas, community centers, and programming—daily and directly affect the lives of Portland residents. Follow what’s happening and consider attending and testifying at public meetings about the issues important to you.

NOTE: As part of the FY 2013-14 budget PP&R will be updating its non-resident fee policy to better ensure that non-residents are paying fees equivalent to what City of Portland residents are paying through fees and taxes.
