Public comment: Sunrise Park neighbors described the park’s uses and expressed mixed views about tree plantings and mowing. Katie Serbrook said she values wildflowers but appreciates recent mowing for safety and use: “This is the first summer it's been all mowed, and it's just wonderful. I mean, I love it.” Mary Ann Gray, another nearby resident, told the committee open visibility in the park makes users feel safer.

Committee discussion: Committee members and staff discussed pilot stewardship at Sunrise Park. Frank Stevens said Sunrise is a good pilot because of heavy, diverse daily use and an active group of volunteers. He proposed a straw-man checklist for starting volunteer groups and recommended staff coordination with the city’s volunteer coordinator. Jonah Jacobson confirmed the parks division is recruiting a full‑time parks worker and said seasonal staff have been “phenomenal” but that there was a gap this year in a dedicated Sunrise employee.

Volunteer rules and next steps: Jonah and staff said volunteers must complete city volunteer paperwork for insurance and tracking. Committee members asked staff to return with a formal volunteer‑steward program proposal and suggested a community mapping exercise (dots on an aerial map) to let neighbors indicate desired tree locations and areas to leave unmowed.

What’s next: Committee members asked staff to bring a more formal, research‑based proposal and a checklist to the next meeting so the committee can adopt a pilot approach and best practices for volunteer coordination.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Troutdale Parks Advisory Committee Meeting - September 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Neighbors and committee members discussed Sunrise Park stewardship, mowing policy, and a possible pilot volunteer steward program; staff said a recruitment gap left fewer seasonal workers at Sunrise this year and that any volunteer program must follow city volunteer procedures.","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},5979100,"Parks committee recommends naming long trail through Sharon Nesbitt Heritage Park; requests Mary Tibbetts be included on interpretive signs",1104,3097000,4201000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5793680-6247480d3cbc180c40513359b3ed68da&start=3097&end=4201","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5793680-6247480d3cbc180c40513359b3ed68da/thumbnail_3097000.jpg","/articles/5979100/Troutdale/Multnomah-County/Oregon/Parks-committee-recommends-naming-long-trail-through-Sharon-Nesbitt-Heritage-Park-requests-Mary-Tibbetts-be-included-on-interpretive-signs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5979100-c8a91cf625bac1fba0bef6ffbe565672/orig.mp4?Expires=1773575543&Signature=EdbZPLDBXzbfPaPz6xhGy9QgnkuDREt17NcT4o-Dro6zifpOedV4o8tS7S--VJUSx0koUHFeFOp6yi3Jn6U8qh1tlcrGr-t8B8n6p9zJHWqNtzv8FP512GbV~6H5beCESriLRWGQ6dBfh1DKXbZP~-sia-w~xTOrTBJvlPvJoK6vTXedQ-gb1gUD4uMYn~OnYZ60q5lPaapyPcCNJbeWWKCaiYxEB-k6~6n6tnHArDpu0dgGuAnwZD6IZovOaBF2cPOFewEhMzq885S89pSQD8sN9AQsOJfbbJv0bB8106tilSK2D97~Hf~F1njn6Af3c3awmCkyPEMNNPQ6PEbCGg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Parks Advisory Committee voted on Sept. 17 to recommend to City Council that the continuous trail through Sharon Nesbitt Heritage Park receive a single name. A motion to recommend naming the entire trail the Cha Cha Trail (motion by Shelley Reynolds, second by Jim Hill) passed on a roll-call vote.

Committee discussion: Members debated naming strategy and community recognition. Several members and public commenters urged the committee to preserve the Mary Tibbetts story in the park. Parks staff and the community development director said they are designing six interpretive signs for the park that will address flora and fauna, local history and construction of I‑84; staff said they will include a draft that references Mary Tibbetts and other historical figures for committee review early next year.

Wayfinding and sign timing: Staff noted that Metro and partner organizations plan wayfinding signage for the park and trail but that production is on hold pending the committee’s naming recommendation; staff said Metro had planned sign production but would not install signs until naming is finalized.

Related council recommendation: Committee members also passed a motion asking the City Council to review two local street names (raised during discussion) that may be considered offensive; that motion passed by voice vote and will be transmitted to council for consideration.

What’s next: The committee’s naming recommendation will go to City Council. Staff will proceed with interpretive sign design and promised to include Mary Tibbetts material in the planned interpretive signage; staff said the park will open before the signs are installed and that sign construction/installation will follow a future grant application.","The Parks Advisory Committee voted to recommend to city council that the full trail through the newly developed Sharon Nesbitt Heritage Park be given a single name (committee motion: pass), and committee members asked staff to include historical information about Mary Tibbetts on planned interpretive signage.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5979107,"Troutdale moves forward on Urban Forestry Management Plan after nearby emerald ash borer detection",0,2531000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5793680-6247480d3cbc180c40513359b3ed68da&start=2531&end=2531","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5793680-6247480d3cbc180c40513359b3ed68da/thumbnail_2531000.jpg","/articles/5979107/Troutdale/Multnomah-County/Oregon/Troutdale-moves-forward-on-Urban-Forestry-Management-Plan-after-nearby-emerald-ash-borer-detection","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5979107-ef30f3edb2318fa43869c50186308694/orig.mp4?Expires=1773575543&Signature=E~U~-oTdLfoFCw8iConp4nKPWPri~y9p2KxMq6nlKSGXJcSxD~RrRwSLNAWsJUpmjoCTClvRcFKkm-sZR0ftDALHRKnO97VbaIjPSZnW-yvnhu6JDT7I-Hnv~BlUd6k6R0l5fRmVqMerz5cOXQhzjWD8CaznNQSOCwZ76s-TmsoJYFAX9vLBizUMMN~rGwiCIEB~JZmqwEAdgeMohfxjjccWb5J3EPctMpnBxytLlyBqnuhXvCpufhGrraT9kCG9n2Kdr59fi1g0u8Yju9PksZRRSmszURZabkw4ghJ1XgQt4nPc6mX8JPlUnarBE0i3HB09VZwm1kTQKvzJKZwbFw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Parks staff and the community development director updated the Parks Advisory Committee on the city’s Urban Forestry Management Plan and on a recent detection of emerald ash borer in East County.

Jonah Jacobson, parks superintendent, told the committee the city received a $100,000 grant to develop an urban forestry management plan that will include a street-tree planting list and suggested changes to the Troutdale municipal street-tree code. He asked committee members to take and share a public survey and said the consultant Duda (referred to at the meeting) will present preliminary materials at the October meeting.

Jacobson also reported a confirmed detection of emerald ash borer (EAB) in East County, near David Douglas High School. He said he is coordinating with state and federal partners, including a colleague at USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and staff at the Oregon Department of Forestry. “One of the most important things to be aware of is not to move firewood,” Jacobson said, adding that the city will provide outreach and permit‑portal notices related to EAB.

Public engagement and timeline: Jacobson said the survey is targeted to Troutdale residents and that the city has already had more than 100 survey responses. The committee discussed outreach options such as printed flyers and kiosk postings in parks; staff said printed copies and QR codes can be distributed.

What’s next: The Duda consultants will present at the Oct. meeting; staff plan to return draft code and interpretive sign proposals next year. Jacobson also said the city will consider adding EAB notices to the street‑tree permit portal and community-news sections of the website.","Staff described a $100,000 grant to develop a city urban forestry management plan, urged residents to complete a public survey, and warned that the emerald ash borer was confirmed in East County near David Douglas High School; staff emphasized not moving firewood and said draft code changes and interpretive work will follow.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5979111,"City crews replace sections of Beaver Creek Canyon boardwalk; materials cost about $6,000 so far",175,633000,808000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5793680-6247480d3cbc180c40513359b3ed68da&start=633&end=808","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5793680-6247480d3cbc180c40513359b3ed68da/thumbnail_633000.jpg","/articles/5979111/Troutdale/Multnomah-County/Oregon/City-crews-replace-sections-of-Beaver-Creek-Canyon-boardwalk-materials-cost-about-6000-so-far","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5979111-7b64040c6e94e6c327bd09d6c65b6ec1/orig.mp4?Expires=1773575543&Signature=ZyImvVr1YVjZawI6~5H-pM9m1HULvxVImB5GNFY82IDaWl4wEk21Ew~yjQC1RrWlG9UupmMSqxJsDTdb5yoXSsh5~9dI4FKM9dfpNZZL2sBBoJkkbrWkUfX0NspaPfPE6pef6aF7VmuYJoiDfHMckwiaNBcR1ZY7~dFXtqK0rJBDAwPZbQBls2Na7iD0n4s83gq5pquvXw-xIXcYRKEtendZ33ajI4WLCR3oO2pk4PhAmDb0oATjYfKVsUYwWT56MadZmMklKjZNdfOMgxWl7FQtxnTxzMNnXkXlMkRi37BuQjdnf6-7rNA-A0CJlx~vYaTzv2ds1ywrjSmJYCv8aQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jonah Jacobson, parks superintendent, told the committee that the Beaver Creek Canyon boardwalk was weathered and hazardous and that the parks crew decided to repair it in-house rather than contract out as originally planned.

Jacobson said the parks division has an approved allocation of $40,000 for Beaver Creek Canyon repairs but that materials purchased to date are about $6,000. “We’ve replaced 4 12 foot sections of boardwalk so far, which is about a third of the boardwalk,” he said, and added that crews will likely pause for the season and resume in spring.

Construction details: Jacobson described the rebuilt segments as post-and-beam construction with footings that raise the boardwalk off the ground rather than burying it in mud. He said that approach should last longer but noted that hillside cobbles and debris in Beaver Creek periodically cover sections of the trail.

Why it matters: The work addresses a public-safety hazard and preserves trail access. Committee members asked technical questions about foundations and longevity; Jacobson said the new sections are built on footings and beams and are slightly higher than the old sections.

Costs and schedule: Staff told the committee they expect to complete the work for substantially less than the $40,000 allocation because much of the labor is in-house. No formal contract award or additional funding request was made at the meeting.","Parks staff reported in-house repairs to the Beaver Creek Canyon boardwalk have replaced four 12-foot sections to date at a materials cost of about $6,000; the project had a $40,000 allocation and staff said in-house work may complete the project for less than half that amount.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5979115,"Troutdale reports $13,655 net from weekend paid parking at Glen Auto Park; residents eligible for exemptions",295,573000,868000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5793680-6247480d3cbc180c40513359b3ed68da&start=573&end=868","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5793680-6247480d3cbc180c40513359b3ed68da/thumbnail_573000.jpg","/articles/5979115/Troutdale/Multnomah-County/Oregon/Troutdale-reports-13655-net-from-weekend-paid-parking-at-Glen-Auto-Park-residents-eligible-for-exemptions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5979115-1907e7b6892f31b8736da9f6fe07f3d6/orig.mp4?Expires=1773575543&Signature=P9NCLqjBVpPH2q1WVsNfmxhWqe3zWifZurJ~o6PXGcM1SbyhR~OZXQbLKjGhOTtwGPsF5j6Va3BUztbB35338oLa6w~iEruSfyHkzxD7LrdCX6HqpC3Tel2npE6M3hY38QC~AjE8KkBUDXAuYfFHtQU0u5Pflwu95QD9yA6AJibbQUU03DMxWFCbF0QkW3SjumGFbHQ2drmqqAxyUzWi-7h6xBN-jMHNG0mJTiDcUIYw3fPER6IDX-Qqx6lja~pLxCIDJGZtErxpCMcEekRPWSCfCGXwhTKMI4u8lm2qRKt4X3WMAN-t~jr-Ee66pOW5wJ5zRk2m4A5bBhXwP74XLA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jonah Jacobson, parks superintendent, told the Parks Advisory Committee on Sept. 17 that the city’s new paid-parking system at Glen Auto Park has produced net weekend revenue since it began collecting in July.

Jacobson said the total net revenue figure on the financial summary was $13,655. “So it's generating some income on the on the weekends,” he told committee members. He said collections are limited to Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays “through the busiest times.”

Why it matters: The program was approved and funded by the City Council for the parks division; the revenue is intended to help cover park operations and maintenance costs that the parks budget does not fully cover. Committee members asked about startup costs and break-even timelines. Jacobson said he believed the initial outlay for the paid-parking system was “$15,000,” and that the city is “getting close to breaking even on it,” excluding ongoing app-processing fees and enforcement costs.

Who pays and who does not: Jacobson described a resident exemption process. “So far, there's over 400 residential residents [who] have applied for exemptions,” he said, noting residents may register up to two license plates per household and apply online or in person at city hall.

Enforcement and next steps: Committee members noted enforcement will affect net revenue and compliance. Jacobson and members said enforcement resources or a staffed enforcement solution would increase collections but also raise recurring costs. No formal enforcement policy change was adopted at the meeting; discussions about enforcement were described as ongoing.

Other implementation notes: Jacobson said the payment provider’s reports break revenue down by point of payment (app versus website), which showed separate lines labeled “passport/parking” and “passport.” He explained those differences reflect payment channel breakdowns in the vendor reports.

What’s next: Committee members suggested the city track revenue and enforcement costs together as the program continues, and asked staff to return with updated financial information in future meetings.","Parks staff told the Parks Advisory Committee that the new paid-parking system at Glen Auto Park generated $13,655 in net revenue since collections began on weekends; staff said more than 400 resident exemption applications have been received and enforcement remains a separate issue.","actionData","errors"]
