Jonah Jacobson responded with details about a phased rollout and design choices.

Paul Little Cox asked whether the city would launch online‑only payments before kiosks are installed and whether residents who register license plates for resident parking could inadvertently trigger vehicle‑registration checks. \"I prefer that they wait until the kiosks are in place for any paid parking,\" Paul said, citing concerns about excluding people without smartphones and about giving enforcement access to plate information.

Jacobson said the city is doing a phased rollout because the physical kiosks' lead time does not match the directive to launch the Beta Park mobile system. \"We are having to do a phased rollout ... it's a lot easier to just turn on the app based system, immediately with a few signs,\" he said. He added the city may later issue a physical placard or sticker for residents to display to speed enforcement checks.

On license‑plate registration, Jacobson said a voluntary registration in the parking vendor's Passport system will be available; residents would provide proof of residence at city facilities or later via a city website. \"There is absolutely no connection to any law enforcement databases or any DMV databases,\" he said. The plate registration is a voluntary way to mark a vehicle as an active paid session in the parking software so enforcement officers can see it as paid without running a plate through external law‑enforcement systems.

On the Confluence Park trail, Jacobson confirmed the segment that passes under the Union Pacific rail bridge will be concrete with a protective metal cage to shield users from falling debris. He said other sections may use asphalt because it is lower cost, but he could not confirm the surface for every segment without reviewing plans. Jacobson also said utility connections will be installed so a restroom could be added later, though a restroom is not included in the current budget and will likely not be in place for the park's grand opening.

No formal city policy changes were made at the meeting; Jacobson's remarks described implementation choices and timelines that will be finalized by the departments leading the projects.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Troutdale Parks Advisory Committee Meeting - June 18, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A public commenter asked whether the city will launch online‑only paid parking before physical kiosks are installed and sought clarification about trail surfacing at the Confluence; parks staff said a phased rollout is planned, license‑plate registration will be voluntary and separate from DMV, and the under‑bridge trail segment will be concrete with a protective metal cage.","taxTitle","Troutdale, Multnomah County, Oregon","taxId",70315,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6191053,"Troutdale staff proposes removing cottonwoods at Sunrise Park, considers lower‑growing shade trees",457,1061000,1518000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5025891-7c8e05d319625162217730530db76eab&start=1061&end=1518","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5025891-7c8e05d319625162217730530db76eab/thumbnail_1061000.jpg","/articles/6191053/Troutdale/Multnomah-County/Oregon/Troutdale-staff-proposes-removing-cottonwoods-at-Sunrise-Park-considers-lowergrowing-shade-trees","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6191053-ca856a71fffc08935e20971277b3048b/orig.mp4?Expires=1776710122&Signature=NZiryxuC-4fM-cPj--0ZRKB2G3ov5rAtp7w5Dx7NyQCgzGOcfxU4J7oI-r6RSBKj2xGKW7UAV2hWvP8UEdyAoDQg-CrS5VYDDqvLpcvlEGWjc4qOG2yqVMQ9q0nXoBh8SVhx8by7dZZdDIrutZERflH3GYFotkOZkTo9D~F4VFPAuBZL5evRgqbHh8UKTYmxUjHP1QkmctZgRczJ89ZEvnDpEg5w~0K~Ydd6XT35MeK260EsQa0EavIwQpkR-qpZKv6gqtq8WVJXUBvyBrbvhyswyvd9CSeJUqcNDkjS6Td8HJBKIHHGyukkSiWbuPj6VrDZyrpGcs~34pngdJfdGw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Parks staff raised a concept on June 18 to remove several tall cottonwoods at Sunrise Park and replace some with smaller, slower‑growing shade trees, and asked the Parks Advisory Committee for guidance on neighborhood outreach.

\"Cottonwood trees are generally problematic,\" Jonah Jacobson said, describing the species as \"soft wood\" that can \"shatter in the wind and ice.\" He said many neighbors had complained about large cottonwoods around the park's detention pond and that removing them could be paired with planting low‑growing species such as pin oaks or scrub oaks to provide shade without reaching great heights.

Jacobson told the committee he is discussing a memorandum of understanding and scope of work with Friends of Trees for a winter planting event, likely in early 2026, and suggested a decision about removals and plantings by November to fit the planting timeline. He also emphasized the need to balance views of adjacent homeowners with shade and tree cover for park users.

Committee members recommended outreach. Sherilee Winters said staff should \"reach out to those around that park, especially those that would be impacted the most.\" Tiffany Long pointed out the Sunrise Park Facebook group as a possible outreach channel; Jacobson said he would \"pound pavement\" to get additional input if needed.

Jacobson described the idea as an early concept and not a finalized plan: \"This is the early stages of a concept of a plan as I'm developing a contract with Friends of Trees for a planting event in 2026.\" No vote or formal commitment to remove trees was taken at the meeting.","Parks staff raised a concept to remove tall cottonwood trees around Sunrise Park's detention pond and plant smaller, slower‑growing shade trees through a Friends of Trees planting event; staff said outreach to neighbors and a decision by November would be appropriate.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6191058,"Troutdale parks staff patch play surface, begin phased Beaver Creek boardwalk replacement",809,193000,1002000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5025891-7c8e05d319625162217730530db76eab&start=193&end=1002","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5025891-7c8e05d319625162217730530db76eab/thumbnail_193000.jpg","/articles/6191058/Troutdale/Multnomah-County/Oregon/Troutdale-parks-staff-patch-play-surface-begin-phased-Beaver-Creek-boardwalk-replacement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6191058-6ca5f01bde4ecee2905b17ed41d8510f/orig.mp4?Expires=1776710122&Signature=KGYbBtFci0v2pTx8n~b9zctn3fMgZ0VWL66lGfbJwGrOWNdhxvM8~stm7XiuJfa7S1Fh6I1JIQYQMUD6rAryvQ5XZjhwUsdg~9MwzE4glq2MHzBSeZa5GpPFAK0JlZRbznjLnxL3TU7xKxXcnxYNF5YL9JIEMWoexWyB2VDL5Frv~6i~lQ2~1y7WtHxKdTfWU9xP2w-FlARXQQvPwNGL6wdppOOQ90xW9iZ4gwQevQxLO-VNkxaJuc8rPzuveUyfGE7PwoHhIPtC8Ar7lEURU9ATuscCRl1iH5Q9CQUb4fl4JI3AftRPhiBAUCdvJ7So~jSHhJKjfZD7Vkv0-cwegA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Troutdale parks staff reported on June 18 that crews completed a weeklong repair and resurfacing effort at Imagination Station, began phased replacement of sections of the Beaver Creek boardwalk and installed a new asphalt path at Sandy Palisades Park.

Jonah Jacobson, speaking for staff, said crews carried out most of the Imagination Station work in-house and used a mix of leftover materials and new compound to patch the play surface. \"The patches look a lot better,\" Jacobson said, adding that crews rented a barrier fence for about $1,400 and expect the repairs to hold for at least one fiscal year cycle. He cautioned that a full replacement will still be required at some point.

Jacobson also described the start of a phased replacement of the Beaver Creek boardwalk, funded in the adopted budget with $40,000 for pre‑training repairs and supplemental labor. \"The Beaver Creek Boardwalk is in a state of disrepair and is in need of replacement,\" he said, and staff performed two test sections to confirm the work can be done in‑house. Jonathan Villalobos, identified by staff as a facilities technician, is leading the build on the test sections.

At Sandy Palisades Park, staff installed a new asphalt path. Jacobson said the new layout removed redundant segments and moved the path away from tree root zones; he estimated the finished width at roughly \"3 foot 9\" in places, close to the intended 4 feet. Staff plan to reseed disturbed areas and may add a small picnic shelter in a future budget.

Staff described the Imagination Station resurfacing as a multi‑day process that involved cutting out damaged material, compacting the underlying rubber crumb, mixing colored rubber cement with finer rubber mulch and pouring the mix before it cured. Jacobson said the color match was imperfect where materials ran short, but the work removed tripping hazards and improved safety.

Staff said they still have enough material for one additional round of patching and that they may use Trailkeepers of Oregon or Multnomah Youth Corps crews for demolition support where hauling materials out of the canyon is difficult. No formal action or funding change was taken at the meeting.

The committee was invited to inspect Imagination Station and the new Sandy Palisades path in person. Jacobson asked members to report any issues as crews continue work in coming months.","City parks staff reported a week of in-house repairs at Imagination Station, started phased replacement of the Beaver Creek boardwalk with a $40,000 budget allocation and finished a new asphalt path at Sandy Palisades. Staff said the fixes are a short-term measure and a full replacement will still be required in future years.","actionData","errors"]
