Citywide Parks Team's February meeting
Citywide Parks Team Meeting
Thursday, February 15, 2007
7:00 - 8:30 pm
Portland City Hall
Rose Room (3rd Floor)
1221 SW 4th Ave
Topic: Portland Parks' Draft Sponsorship Policy and Draft Naming Policy
Portland Parks and Recreation (PP&R) is a bureau of the City of Portland whose services are primarily funded from the City's general fund. In recent years demands upon such funds have increased, a trend that is expected to continue.
To maintain and enhance the city's park and recreation system, Portland Parks and Recreation is actively seeking to establish alternate revenue streams that will increase its ability to deliver services. One of the alternate funding sources being pursued is sponsorship.
Portland Parks & Recreation has developed two draft policies: one for Sponsorship and one for Naming. These policies will be the focus of the February meeting of the Citywide Parks Team.
Speaking on the topic will be Bob Schulz, the new Marketing and Business Development Manager at Portland Parks and Linda Laviolette, Executive Director of the Portland Park Foundation.
The draft policies are posted on the PP&R web site for community review. Comments may be submitted online through February 23, 2007. After review of public input, the policies will be finalized, then referred to City Council for adoption. Because this is the only public meeting scheduled before the policies go to City Council for adoption, we hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to clarify any questions you may have about the policies before you prepare your comments.

The Portland Citywide Parks Team is an ad hoc citizens group, formed in February 2005. Monthly meetings provide a forum for information-sharing and an exchange of ideas -- and for respectful discourse on park issues and policies. There are also opportunities to network with others who are working and volunteering to make Portland's parks even better than they are today. It's citizen-initiated, citizen-led, citizen-owned, and intended for all Portlanders who care about getting things done in and for parks in Portland.
The Citywide Parks Team meetings are open to anyone. The group doesn't have designated members or a formal committee structure. Interested individuals are encouraged to drop in whenever they can. It's a self-selected, ever-changing group that meets monthly, from 7:00 to 8:30 pm on the third Thursday, in the Rose Room at City Hall. Attendance has ranges from 5 to 40+ people, depending on the topic. For more information about the group, go to http://explorepdx.org/pcwpt.html and/or sign up for the e-mail listserve by sending a blank email message to: Team4PortlandParks-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
In March, we'll discuss policies/issues regarding surplus land -- decisions about the sale and/or lease of land owned by Portland Parks and Recreation.
