Boat ramp remains priority; Maupin tables dog-park proposal for now
Summary
During parks visioning updates, the council emphasized the boat ramp as the primary priority and agreed to table a dog-park proposal. Councilors discussed repairing the ramp, seawall extension ideas, and possible materials such as plastic marine lumber.
Councilors reviewing a parks visioning report on Sept. 24 agreed that the boat ramp is the primary focus and tabled a dog-park proposal for later study. Mayor Carol Beatty and visioning participants emphasized the ramp’s critical role; Councilor Tom Troutman opposed a temporary repair now, saying the city would be “throwing money away” and proposing that work wait until spring and that the existing seawall be extended to the ramp.
Residents and visioning participants suggested alternatives and materials: Paula Latasha offered photos of Trillium Lake demonstrating use of plastic marine lumber and asked whether that material could be used for Maupin’s ramp. Councilors asked staff to post the chosen boat-ramp design to the city web page and to explore assistance from federal and county partners (BLM, County, OSM).
