Portland Parks & Recreation invites the public to comment on

Budget reductions for the FY 2010-2011 Budget

What: Community Budget Meeting on the FY 2010-11 Portland Parks & Recreation Requested Budget

When: 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Thursday, January 21

Where: Oregon Commission for the Blind

Based on directions from the City of Portland, Portland Parks & Recreation has prepared reductions of 4%, or approximately $1.7 million, from the bureau’s ongoing General Fund discretionary budget for the Fiscal Year 2010-11.

These reductions could mean reduced community center hours, staff reductions and decreased levels of maintenance for some facilities.

PP&R will present the results of these reductions to the public at the January 21meeting. Participants will have the opportunity to make comments and ask questions of PP&R senior staff. Parks Commissioner Nick Fish will approve the final Requested Budget before it is submitted to the City on February 1. The public will have opportunity to further comment on the Mayor’s Proposed Budget in late April.

The proposed reductions will be posted on the PP&R budget website, www.portlandonline.com/parks/budget, on the week of January 11, so that the public will have the opportunity to review them prior to the community budget meeting.
