BOND ANNUAL REPORT 2 019– 2 0

Dear Portlanders, Thank you for your investment in your Portland Parks & Recreation system!

We are happy to report that 46 of the 52 Parks Replacement Bond projects have been completed, with the remaining six projects underway. The Bond program has remained focused on delivering the promises made to voters in 2014 through continued accountability. Your investment in your parks system has been used efficiently and responsibly.

Year 5 of the Bond started out as planned: • In July 2019, Commissioner Fish cut the ribbon on the completely overhauled Peninsula Pool.

• In October 2019, the community gathered to celebrate a newly renovated, more accessible playground at Glenhaven Park.

• Over the winter, construction wrapped up on the installation of new play pieces, drainage repairs, and pathway accessibility repairs at over 30 parks • A new roof now keeps Montavilla Community Center dry.

Sadly, 2020 started off with the loss of our dear colleague and beloved Parks Commissioner, Nick Fish. He was Parks Commissioner for his first term and returned to the helm in his last assignment. His legacy as a champion for our park system will carry us forward.

And then COVID-19 hit. Although the Bond team quickly had to adapt to working from home and some celebrations were postponed, Bond projects stayed on track.

Construction began on a new playground for Creston Park. In East Portland, work was completed on a beautiful new playground and other improvements in a park that bears a historic new name: Verdell Burdine Rutherford Park. It is the first Portland park to be named solely after a Black woman.

The public health crisis was followed by a groundswell of action for racial justice for our City and our nation. Through these challenging times, our parks and open spaces are even more precious than ever. They serve as shared public spaces to exercise our

bodies, our minds, and our voices, reinforcing our shared duty to be good stewards of these essential community resources.

While this Bond could only tackle the most critical maintenance needs, it has given us all a glimpse of what we can achieve together. Let’s continue to create a more sustainable, brighter, and more equitable future for our city and our parks.

Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay hopeful.

Sincerely,

Commissioner Amanda Fritz Portland Parks & Recreation Director Adena Long

Summary On November 4, 2014, 74% of Portland voters approved Measure 26-159, the Parks Replacement Bond, which provides $68 million in funds for urgent repairs in parks, community centers, and facilities throughout the city. Portland Parks & Recreation’s (PP&R) Bond Program has now completed its fifth year. The Bond projects target PP&R’s most critical needs by focusing on fixing or improving facilities that are closed, at risk of closure, or deficient. Projects are categorized as follows: • Playgrounds: renovating aged playgrounds • Trails and bridges: repairing or replacing failing trails and bridges • Pools: repairing pool surfacing, decks, and mechanical systems • Worker safety: renovating or replacing outmoded PP&R maintenance buildings to address worker safety and efficiency • Pioneer Courthouse Square: replacing waterproofing and infrastructure • Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): addressing barriers and improving park access for all Portlanders • Restrooms and other facilities: replacing critical failing infrastructure, including restrooms and community centers This report summarizes and shares the work accomplished in the Bond’s fifth year of implementation. Detailed information is provided about the Bond Program’s investments and performance, including project progress, challenges, public outreach, and transparency efforts.

The Bond Program is executing 52 projects in two phases. In Phase 1, PP&R allocated $47.6 million of the $68 million Bond to 34 projects across the city. In Year 2 of the Bond, with input from the community, PP&R developed the Phase 2 project list to spend the remaining Bond funds on an additional 18 projects.

PP&R has delivered 46 of the 52 promised projects over the last five years. In the coming year, three projects are slated for completion and the last three projects are expected to enter construction.

The $68 million in Bond funding is making significant improvements across Portland, but it is only a first step in addressing a long backlog of critical repair projects. PP&R faces an expanding maintenance funding gap, and additional funding is critical to ensure that our parks and facilities remain safe, accessible, and responsive to future growth needs. The COVID-19 pandemic has added additional financial challenges to our system. PP&R staff are working hard to utilize the current Bond funds wisely and to maximize benefits to the greatest number of park users with every Bond project.

Performance Performance Overview The Bond Program follows firmly established project performance measures that focus on three key indicators: scope, schedule, and budget. Voters expect PP&R to responsibly manage these three areas throughout the life of the Bond Program.

The fifth year of the Bond brought the total spend to $49 million.

The Bond Team continues to carefully manage project scopes, schedules, and budgets. The team also remains true to the goal of “Fixing Our Parks” by not only repairing or replacing key park elements but also by making Portland’s parks better and more accessible for everyone.

The majority of Bond projects remain within their originally established scope, schedule, and budget. Currently, all 52 Bond projects are either underway or complete.

Projects completed

Year 5 Highlights • P roject work: The Bond Program has now completed 46 of 52 Bond-funded projects. Twelve projects were completed over the last 12 months; the remaining six are underway.

• Audit: Audits were required as part of the Bond measure to ensure fiscal accountability. To meet this obligation, PP&R engaged an independent firm to provide a performance audit of Bond activities. Completed in January 2019, the audit found that • the Bond Program funds were spent in a manner that adheres to the language of the Measure; • the Bond Program is operating in a fiscally responsible manner; and • the existing Bond Program documentation systems are transparent, in place, and functioning well.

The Performance Audit provided eight recommendations to further enhance the Bond Program’s efficiency. The Bond Team 7

has made progress on implementing the recommendations over the last year. A summary of the audit and the Bond Program’s progress on the recommendations can be found in the Transparency section of this report.

• P roject tracking: The previously established project tracking systems continue to be used and refined to consistently and effectively track project scopes, schedules, and budgets for all active Bond projects. In the last year, the Bond Program has had support from a management analyst who has refined reporting and tracking processes, which has provided project managers with accurate reporting and analysis. These refined processes include updated monthly spending reports and a revised Division Work Plan. Both tools increase transparency and provide clear details of project spending.

Verdell Burdine Rutherford Park playground

• P rogram tracking: The established Bond Program tracking tools have been refined over the last year to support the Bond Program’s transition to project completion and program closeout. Updated tools include the Contingency Tracker, the Allocation Transfer Log, and the Spending Projection Model.

These tools help ensure that the Bond Program is meeting spending targets without going over the available funds.

• F inal issuance: The third and final bond issuance was made in spring 2020, making $14.9M available for project spending.

The issuance timing and size was informed by a revised process, which included a collaborative analysis provided by finance and management analysts from the City’s Debt Management Division and the Bond Program. Influencing factors included current project spending rates, projected project schedules, interviews with project managers, and a priority of maintaining stable property tax rates.

Couch Park playground

• Awards: In addressing the park system’s most critical repairs, staff has been finding moments of excellence. For instance, the Couch Park Playground project brought new inclusive play to this park just north of the downtown core. Excellent design and a partnership with the community netted this project a 2019 Small Projects Award from the Oregon Recreation & Park Association.

The Bond Program manager leads a team of highly qualified project managers who oversee the Bond work from design through construction. Two landscape architects and three civil engineering professionals bring a broad set of experiences from private and public practice. The team is supported by a management analyst, an office support specialist, and a fulltime public involvement professional from PP&R’s Community Relations team. As part of the Capital Renovation Program, the Bond Team works alongside PP&R’s Capital Growth Program team to provide focused work that is consistent with the goals of PP&R’s Assets & Development division.

Vision Statement The Bond-specific vision statement and set of eight goals continue to guide the Bond Team’s work.

Vision Statement We support our City and its livability and values by renovating parks and park facilities in a way that is true to the focus on urgent needs, replacement, and re-investment in key services. We plan to exceed our community’s expectations for superior services, sustainable resources, and efficiency.

More than one million trees and growing For many of us, the COVID-19 pandemic has meant having more time to spend outdoors. Along with stopping to smell the roses, Portlanders have been looking up and marveling at the city’s incredible trees. These small wonders and towering majesties— evergreen and deciduous, fruit-bearing and conifer—are part of an urban forest that consists of 218,000 street trees, 1.2 million park trees, and countless trees on private properties—and growing.

Frank remembers his surprise on his first day on the job, when he learned that the City was using the barn as a shop. “It has some character but some significant drawbacks,” he says, listing that it has had rodent problems, has inadequate exhaust ventilation for running the dozen or so trucks parked in it, didn’t have heated restrooms for many years, and is vulnerable to earthquakes and fire.

“Portlanders really appreciate trees and parks,” says Frank Krawczyk, a tree inspector and arborist who has been with PP&R’s Urban Forestry for 22 years. “All our work requests come from the ever-observant public who are taking care of their own trees or noticing a problem with a park tree.”

The new shop “will be a big step forward,” he says. “Having a building that is built for storing large trucks, with good vehicle access, security, and ventilation, will be an improvement on worker health and safety. The current hazards will be addressed, and Urban Forestry will be better prepared to respond to tree emergencies during storms, power outages, earthquakes, and other events.”

Urban Forestry manages the city’s urban forest infrastructure for current and future generations. Among its many tasks, the department creates and implements the city’s Urban Forest Management Plan, fosters community tree awareness and stewardship, monitors and assesses the urban forest, responds to tree emergencies, and issues permits for tree planting, pruning, and removal.

These updated facilities remind the staff of their important work and how much the public appreciates their care and maintenance of the city’s beloved trees. “The work environment prior to the new office building felt a lot like a patchwork of free WWII leftovers that were assigned to the bureau,” Frank says. “Now I finally feel that my work as a City employee is valued.”

Worker safety is paramount to the department, and it is one of the aims of the Bond, which is funding improvements to the Urban Forestry Yard at Delta Park. A new shop and covered, secured equipment area will soon replace an old dairy barn that survived the Vanport flood in 1948.

Scope The majority of Bond projects continue to stay within the originally defined scope. As reported in prior years, many Bond projects have amplified the Bond investment with outside funding sources, including System Development Charges (SDC) allocations, ADA Transition Plan Implementation Program (ADATPIP) funds, and private funds raised by community partners.

For all projects with additional funding, spending for work outside the Bond’s scope is tracked separately from the Bond project spending. The following Bond projects have received additional outside funding:

Verdell Burdine Rutherford Park public art

• C olonel Summers Park Loo: A Bond project here added a Portland Loo to the park. Prior to the Bond-funded work, a new splash pad was identified on the Capital Improvement Project SDC-funded list. For efficiency, a single Bond project manager concurrently oversaw work on the two projects.

Splash pad spending was tracked and paid for with the separate SDC funding sources.

• C ouch Park Playground: Strong community interest called for an expanded, inclusive play area that went beyond the original project scope. Through a partnership with Friends of Couch Playground and Harper’s Playground, an additional $500,000 (including a $150,000 Nature in Neighborhoods grant from Metro) was raised to supplement Bond funds and allow for a vibrant inclusive play environment within the original footprint of the Bond project.

• C reston Park Playground: Bond funds for this playground renovation project are leveraged by an infusion of SDC funds and ADATPIP funds. The SDC funds provide additional play opportunities, while the ADATPIP funds primarily address path-of-travel issues on pathways leading to the playground.

• F ernhill Park Water Supply: The Bond project scope was targeted to eliminate lead-contaminated plumbing system elements. The work occurred in conjunction with SDC12

PA R K S R E P L AC E M E N T B O N D A N N U A L R E P O R T YEAR 5

funded playground improvements, splash pad installation, and restroom work.

• G abriel Park Playground: In keeping with the Bond’s commitment to replacement, not expansion, Bond funds were allocated to replace the playground within its existing footprint. SDC funds supplement the project budget to increase the play area size and expand inclusive play opportunities. Design work is funded by the ADATPIP to study accessible pedestrian access from Vermont Street to the playground.

Glenhaven Park playground

• G lenhaven Park Playground: This Bond-funded playground renovation project was supplemented by SDC funds to provide a consolidated play area with increased play opportunities.

• M att Dishman Pool and Spa: This Bond project focused on re-plastering the pool and replacing the whirlpool spa.

Allocations from SDCs and Major Maintenance funds supported the project to expand the whirlpool spa and address mechanical system needs.

• Mt. Tabor Park Handrails: This Bond project replaced outdated, non-compliant handrails with ADA-compliant handrails. Additional handrails adjacent to the project site were funded by SDC funds.

Multnomah Art Center Cottages (before)

• Mt. Tabor Yard: Bond funds are allocated to this project to construct modern shop spaces for the bureau’s Professional Repair and Maintenance Services staff. Additional general fund monies support the Bond project work, and SDC dollars are funding a new multimodal path.

• Multnomah Art Center Cottages: The Bond project scope provided improved access to the program spaces at the cottages. Additional funds from the ADATPIP allowed for increased access in the project area.

• North Park Blocks Playground: Early community input supported expanding the play area beyond its original 13

footprint. The design team created a plan addressing this need, and the design remained within the allocated Bond project budget.

• P arklane Park Loo: Bond funds provided a new Portland Loo and associated pedestrian paths. SDC funds supported the capacity expansion elements of the project work.

Patton Square Park playground, part of the Playground Pieces & Drainage project

• P eninsula Park Pool: This Bond project replaced the pool’s mechanical system and gutters and made improvements to the pool deck. SDC funds supplemented the project budget to provide increased access with a new wheelchair lift in the community center, new lighting on the pool deck, and redevelopment of the pool to provide a larger shallow area.

This project also received ADATPIP funding to address pathof-travel issues on the pool deck.

• P ier Park Loo: This Bond-funded project replaced an outdated restroom and associated paths. ADATPIP funds provided additional ADA walkway improvements.

Sewallcrest Park new spinner, part of the Playground Pieces & Drainage project

Woodlawn Park playground, part of the Playground Pieces & Drainage project

• P ioneer Courthouse Square: This project replaced the waterproofing membrane and made other critical repairs to the restroom and HVAC and electrical systems. SDC funds supported the restroom expansion.

• P layground Pieces & Drainage: Bond funding made minor playground and pathway improvements across the city, and ADATPIP dollars supported the work that made ADA pathway improvements at three project sites: Pier, Peninsula, and Sellwood. Community partners have also provided private funds to enhance play opportunities at Patton Square and Wilshire Parks, and SDC funds supported the expansion of the play area at Patton Square Park.

• S t. John’s Community Center Roof: This Bond project to replace the community center’s roof was completed concurrently with separately funded energy efficiency work on the heating and cooling system.

• V erdell Burdine Rutherford Park (formerly Lynchview Park) Playground: Bond funds provided a new playground and improvements to the soccer field irrigation. SDC funds amplified the investment here by providing funding for an expanded play area, picnic facilities, benches, a new Portland Loo and associated pedestrian pathways, and other capacityincreasing improvements.

• W ilkes Park Loo: Bond funds provided a new Portland Loo and associated pedestrian paths. SDC funds supported the project work.

Schedule Of the 52 Bond projects, 46 are complete, and the remaining six projects are in permits or construction. The majority of projects were delivered on schedule or are projected to be delivered on schedule. A small number of projects have had schedule adjustments to create efficiencies, allow a more critical project to move ahead, resolve public involvement issues, address weatherrelated issues, or complete contract negotiations. Three projects are currently on or ahead of schedule (from one month to one year). Those projects are East Portland Community Center, Gabriel Park, and Matt Dishman Community Center Roof.

The following active projects are experiencing schedule delays: • C reston Park Playground: This project fell behind schedule due to issues the community raised during the public involvement process. The project is in construction and expected to be complete in fall 2020.

• D elta Park Urban Forestry Yard: As reported in Year 3, design work for this project began on time. However, early design cost estimates revealed significant cost overruns to meet the desired building program. Subsequent redesign efforts impacted the project schedule. In addition, land use and development permit requirements were significantly more complicated than originally anticipated, further delaying project work. The project is expected to begin construction in summer 2020.

Peninsula Pool opening

• M t. Tabor Maintenance Yard: Design work for this project began as scheduled but has taken longer than anticipated.

Land use permit requirements have required lengthy review and approval processes by the City’s Historic Landmarks Commission and Code Hearings Officer. Additional delays occurred because of an expanded public involvement process to gain public support for utilization of the Long Block for the PP&R’s Horticultural Services’ potted plant storage area.

Development permit issues have further delayed this project.

The project is expected to bid in fall 2020.

Budget The majority of Bond projects are currently within their originally allocated Bond budgets. Projects exceeding their original allocations include Delta Park Urban Forestry Yard, Fernhill Park Water Line, Grant Outdoor Pool, Matt Dishman Community Center Roof Replacement, Mt. Tabor Maintenance Yard, Parklane Park Loo, and St. Johns Community Center Roof Replacement.

• D elta Park Urban Forestry Yard had unanticipated permit requirements that have contributed to increases in project expenses for design and construction. Construction bids were in keeping with the cost estimates and, as anticipated, have placed the project over budget.

• F ernhill Park Water Supply, Grant Pool, Matt Dishman Community Center Roof, and St. Johns Community Center Roof projects had higher-than-anticipated construction costs.

• M t. Tabor Yard had unanticipated land use and permit requirements that have contributed to increases in project expenses. Current cost estimates for this project indicate that construction bids are likely to push the project over budget.

• P arklane Park Loo had funding from two sources.

Due to an accounting error, the Loo project’s Bond funding source was overcharged; however, the overall project did not go over budget.

As reported in previous years, overall, the Bond projects are staying within the “maximum not-to-exceed” budget allocations.

Many completed projects have returned savings to the Program contingency. These funds, as well as Bond interest earnings and Program Contingency funds, will be used to support projects that have exceeded their original allocations. The Bond Program manager will continue to coordinate with PP&R’s director and commissioner, as well as the Bond Oversight Committee and the Assets & Development division manager, to ensure that all funds are appropriately allocated in keeping with the Bond Program’s fiscal policies.

Administrative costs are being tracked as part of the Bond’s fiscal management. The fifth year of the Bond’s implementation focused on project work with a well-established team.

Administrative costs continue to trend downward as projects progress and construction work begins. Administrative costs are currently 4.5% over the life of the Bond.

The Bond Program continues to adhere to a recommendation made in the 2019 Performance Audit by consistently charging citywide overhead percentages to Bond Program projects.

Program staff worked with the PP&R finance manager and Bond counsel to implement the change. The details of this change can be found in Appendix A.

In accordance with the City’s debt management practices, the Bond Program strives to meet certain spend-down targets with its Bond fund issuances: 10% spent within six months, 45% within 12 months, 75% within 18 months, and 100% within two years. To date, there have been three issuances of Bond funds.

The first was in 2015 for $28.3M. This covered the funding of many of the Phase 1 projects. A second issuance occurred in 2018 for $24.5M to cover some Phase 1 projects and many Phase 2 projects. Spend-down targets for both issuances were not met due to Program start-up and a lower-than-anticipated project spending rate. Due to low interest rates, Bond funding was not negatively affected. The third issuance was made in June 2020 for $14.9M, primarily for the remaining Phase 2 projects. The third issuance is expected to meet targets, as project spending projections have been refined.

Detailed information on spend-down targets and spending projections can be found in the Challenges section of this report and in Appendix A.

Adherence to Bond Language The Bond Program remains true to implementing the promises made to the public in Ballot Measure 26-159. The Program has executed appropriate projects, engaged a Bond Oversight Committee, and solicited a performance audit.

With the implementation of the Bond Phase 2 Project List in Year 3, PP&R has completed or begun 52 projects in categories identified in the Bond Measure, including playground renovations, trail and bridge projects, pool projects, Pioneer Courthouse Square renovations, repairs to restrooms and other facilities, accessibility improvement projects, and PP&R maintenance facility projects that address worker safety.

Foley-Balmer Natural Area Bridge (construction)

• U tilized and refined tracking systems.

Result: Project progress is monitored for scope, schedule, budget, and other issues. Deviations and trends are caught early and mitigated. Refined approaches to tracking tools have increased clarity for project spending and program tracking.

• C reatively involved the public and created transparent processes.

Result: PP&R has continued to build on the community’s involvement in shaping the Bond project lists. Developing diverse outreach strategies, thoughtfully forming project advisory committees, posting multiple updates online, and seeking input at key decision-making points are just some of the many ways the Community Engagement Team has worked to ensure authentic, transparent communication over the life of the Bond.

This year the completion of the design process for the Gabriel Park Playground project was the last significant outreach process for the Bond. As the Bond work wraps up, the focus will shift to ensuring that the final construction projects are communicated clearly to the public and informing the community about the overall investments over the past five years.

• E xceeded the goals for utilization of Disadvantaged, Minority-owned, Women-owned, Emerging Small Businesses, Service-Disabled Veterans Business Enterprises (D/M/W/ESB/SDVBE) firms in consultant and contracting services.

Result: 31% of the consultant contracts for professional or technical services and 45% of the construction contracts that have been completed or underway are utilizing state-certified D/M/W/ESB/SDVBE firms.

• U tilized the Prime Contractor Development Program (PCDP).

Seventeen Bond project construction contracts have been awarded using the City’s PCDP, which focuses on contracting with D/M/W/ESB/SDVBE firms.

• S uccessfully transitioned through crisis and change.

Result: The Bond Program continues to deliver program goals despite several changes that occurred in Year 5. The Bond Team met all these changes with flexibility, adaptability, and dedication to the Program goals.

•P P&R faced many changes at the leadership level over the last year, including the passing of Commissioner Nick Fish and the welcoming of Director Adena Long and Deputy Director Todd Lofgren.

• In spring 2020 the global COVID-19 pandemic brought drastic changes to the Bond Program work. City offices were closed, and teleworking became mandatory for most staff members. By the close of June 2020, Bond Team members continued to work from home full time and had found new ways to complete design and construction work in a safe and healthy manner. Construction contractors have adjusted schedules and approaches in staffing, protective gear, and health-related safety protocols at construction sites.

Challenges For much of the fifth year of Bond work, many of the challenges faced in prior years, including project spending rates, the construction climate, and permitting requirement delays, impacted the Bond Program’s work. Then in spring 2020, the new challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic sparked sweeping changes across the local economy, City operations, construction supply chains, and staff availability.

• P andemic response: As noted in the previous section, the pandemic has impacted many aspects of the Bond Program’s work. Initially, in March 2020, Bond Program work was disrupted due to technological challenges that arose when most of the City’s office staff were ordered to work from home, but most Bond Program issues have been addressed since then.

Springwater Corridor Bridge #48 construction

Reduced work hours due to mandatory furloughs and ongoing constraints related to school closures have caused minor delays to project work. The Bureau of Development Services staff has faced similar staffing constraints and technology difficulties.

Projects that were in the permitting phase of work in spring 2020 have seen some delays, but the disruptions have largely been resolved.

The Bond Team continues to monitor COVID-19 impacts on project delivery and adjusts approaches to design and construction as needed.

• C onstruction climate: The Portland metropolitan area experienced a heated construction climate for much of the past year. Across the region, contractors were booked and too busy to bid on Bond-funded projects. Some had difficulty securing subcontractors and labor. The tight construction market translated into higher prices and fewer bids, which impacted some Bond project budgets and schedules. Staff efficiencies, project contingencies, and Bond Program contingencies have continued to allow most of these increases to be absorbed into the overall project allocations.

In spring 2020 the construction climate changed significantly in response to state and local restrictions related to COVID-19. At that time, the Bond Program had just one project in active construction: Creston Park Playground. The contractor for the project was able to adjust to new physical distancing protocols and complications related to disrupted supply chains. The project remains on track for completion in fall 2020.

Creston Park playground

• B ond spending targets: Spending on Bond projects has occurred at a slower pace than originally anticipated. With more than $49 million spent through June 2020, the rate of spending on projects is 14% less than projected. This was largely due to original Bond Program set-up and staff hiring, bidding delays, and lulls between construction periods as more projects have been completed. This rate is an improvement from the previous year’s 25% difference between spending and projections and is a direct result of PP&R’s continued refinement of project spending projection models to increase accuracy.

Approximately 75% of project spending occurs during construction, and those bidding delays can push construction out by several months.

• C omplex permitting requirements and workloads: As the volume of construction projects the City processes has continued to increase, the workload of City staff processing permit and land use applications has also increased. Due to staffing limitations, project schedules have occasionally been adjusted.

More to trails than just recreation One of the best parts of living in Portland is the ease of getting into the woods without having to leave the city. Trails in Forest Park, like the Wildwood Trail, get a lot of attention, but trails in the southwest quadrant deserve the spotlight as well, especially with two new bridges that finally restore trail connections that were closed for years. The Bond-funded bridges in the Foley-Balmer Natural Area and Marshall Park opened in fall 2019 and are the long-awaited results of strong advocacy from several local groups, including SWTrails.

Committed to improving safety and walking and biking opportunities in SW Portland, SWTrails “advocated for the bridges every chance we got,” says Dave Manville, a SWTrails board member. “The bridges are very vital components of a trail system that leads through Marshall Park and all the way to Lake Oswego.

With their closure, the detour was unsafe and not usable by families.”

Dave notes that there’s more to the trails and bridges than just recreation. “For the area’s residents, it’s also about how the bridges and the surrounding right-of-way trails and greenways make up a network for casual walks and getting to important activity centers such as the transit center, shopping centers, and bus stops.”

“Without these bridges, there would be no safe access,” he says.

Dave comments, “The bridges look fantastic and fit in well with the natural surroundings.”

He admires the trail reroute at the Owl Creek Bridge site. “The rock wall work is structurally impressive and just looks great in its wild setting.”

“The bridges look quite nice. They used a mix of materials that makes the bridges more attractive,” says Mike Charles, chair of the Marshall Park Neighborhood Association.

“They’re also very sturdy and should last for a very long time.”

Dave and Mike agree that Portlanders love their trails. “You see all sorts of people— walkers, hikers, runners, people walking dogs, families with kids,” Mike says. “Having these natural trails within the city limits is amazing, especially during the stay-close-to-home restrictions of COVID-19. The parks and trails are being used more than ever, and for the most part, people are being very respectful and trying to maintain a safe physical distance.” He adds, “Most people you encounter on a trail in Marshall Park will smile and say hello.”

The Foley-Balmer and Owl Creek Bridges bring the group’s vision of a Hillsdale-toLake Oswego trail closer to reality. Although they’re not specifically on the trail, both bridges provide access to it for six neighborhoods located to the west and south.

Investment PP&R is committed to social equity in contracting and actively provides opportunities to Disadvantaged, Minority-owned, Women-owned, Emerging Small Businesses, and ServiceDisabled Veterans Business Enterprises (D/M/W/ESB/SDVBE) firms. The Bond Team continues to engage in outreach and to work with local organizations, including the Oregon chapter of the National Association of Minority Contractors and LatinoBuilt, to ensure that local D/M/W/ESB/SDVBE firms are aware of the consulting and contracting opportunities associated with Bond projects.

The Bond Team continues to actively participate in the City’s Prime Contractor Development Program (PCDP), which creates prime contracting opportunities with the City of Portland for state-certified D/M/W/ESB/SDVBE firms. These contractors are provided technical assistance and educational opportunities in different areas of work, increasing their ability and capacity to perform work on the City’s public works projects. PCDP contractors completed five construction projects over the last year: playground renovation projects at Glenhaven and Gilbert Primary Parks, playground drainage sites throughout the city, and the two Springwater Corridor bridge replacement projects.

The PP&R Bond Team has been able to successfully surpass the City’s D/M/W/ESB/SDVBE utilization goal of 20%.

Since July 2015, Bond projects have awarded 42% of the value of professional design service work and construction work to certified D/M/W/ESB/SDVBE firms. Taken separately, 31% of the value of all Bond professional design services contracts and task orders and 45% of the value of all Bond construction contracts and task orders have been awarded to D/M/W/ESB/ SDVBE firms. The Bond Team intends to continue this trend by employing these state-certified firms for Bond project work wherever feasible.

A further breakdown of the Bond project spending data for the value awarded for professional design service and construction work shows that 19% of the value was awarded to Minorityowned businesses, 17% to Women-owned businesses, and 6% to Emerging Small Businesses.

PP&R’s work around community engagement must reflect our increasingly diverse community’s needs and desires. As stated in PP&R’s five-year Racial Equity Plan, PP&R staff is committed to community participation and outreach and to including communities of color and refugee and immigrant communities. This work is even more important given our city and the nation’s renewed focus on racial justice and PP&R’s centering the experiences of Black, Indigenous, and people of color in our community in our decision making.

Public meetings

The Bond Team uses project-specific outreach, advisory committees, public meetings, signage, and online Bond information and questionnaires to ensure that the improvements meet the community’s needs and expectations.

Celebration events

PP&R’s Community Engagement staff has involved Community Engagement Liaisons—individuals with ties to Latinx, Russian-speaking, Somali, and Vietnamese communities—to assist with outreach and translation for playground design projects. Project-specific outreach has also been targeted to lowincome and disability communities, and meetings have been held in conjunction with cultural events such as Summer Free for All concerts and New Year in the Park, a celebration of Cambodian, Laotian, Thai, and Burmese cultures.

Bond Oversight Committee In Year 1, as required by the Bond measure, the City Council established a five-person Bond Oversight Committee, with a core mission to ensure that PP&R was delivering the projects as promised to the voters, maintaining fiscal accountability for Bond expenditures, and being transparent with the community. The Bond Oversight Committee was tasked with reporting annually to City Council about the Bond Program’s performance. The committee has fulfilled this charge through an annual report each fall to City Council and a printed report to the public distributed annually through PP&R community centers and other City facilities. The committee has also provided clear direction and oversight throughout the execution of the Bond Program.

Bond Oversight Committee: • Jonath Colón • Janice Mason • Ken Richardson • Zari Santner • Karen Loper Tracy In Year 5, the Bond Oversight Committee provided its report on Year 4 of the Bond Program. The report focuses on three Bond Oversight Committee Objectives: • Adherence to the Language of the Bond • Maintaining Fiscal Accountability • Being Transparent with the Community The Bond Oversight Committee continues to meet regularly, and the meetings are open to the public. Details regarding upcoming meeting dates and locations, past meeting notes, and reports can be found at parksreplacementbond.org.

A New Name for Lynchview Park The Bond and SDC-funded improvements at Lynchview Park allowed PP&R an opportunity to revisit this park’s name. At the time the project began, the adjacent school had changed its name from Lynch View Elementary to Patrick Lynch Elementary, recognizing that the “Lynch View” name was potentially offensive to many community members. Before his passing, Commissioner Fish directed PP&R to work with a committee of community members to recommend a new, more welcoming and inclusive name for this beautiful, newly improved East Portland park located in one of Portland’s most diverse areas.

Verdell Burdine Rutherford Park playground

The work for a new name began in summer 2019, with a ninemember committee comprising Centennial neighbors and representatives from the Rosewood Initiative and Patrick Lynch Elementary School. In December 2019 the committee made its final recommendation: Verdell Burdine Rutherford Park— making it the first Portland park named solely after a Black woman.

More information on the park’s namesake can be found in our featured story on the next page.

PA R K S R E P L AC E M E N T B O N D A N N U A L R E P O R T YEAR 5

She didn’t seek the limelight With Lynchview Park already slated for improvements funded by the Bond and System Development Charges, it was only fitting that the park’s name also be updated to one that is more welcoming and embodies the spirit of its community. That name is Verdell Burdine Rutherford Park.

Charlotte says that her mother, who passed away in 2001, was a hardworking volunteer and community activist, and although she didn’t “seek the limelight, she would have accepted this honor humbly, knowing that this park will provide a place for the community to gather together.”

Before he passed in January 2020, Parks Commissioner Nick Fish tasked a committee of nine community members to recommend a new name for the park. They decided to honor Verdell Burdine Rutherford, a prominent and beloved leader in Portland’s Black community, giving this park in outer Southeast Portland the distinction of being the first in the city to be named solely for a Black woman.

The park’s improvements include a covered picnic area, paved pathways, 80 new trees, public art, a renovated grass soccer field, a Portland Loo, and a new playground.

Verdell and her husband, Otto, were leaders of the Oregon chapter of the NAACP, headquartered right in their own home in Northeast Portland, and oversaw one of the NAACP’s biggest victories: the passage of the Oregon Public Accommodations Act in 1953, which outlawed discrimination in public places on the basis of race, religion, or national origin. Verdell kept records for Portland’s Black community; her extensive and impressive historical collection is now in the care of Portland State University, a gift from her daughter, Charlotte Rutherford, in 2011.

“Mom rightfully considered herself a local historian,” Charlotte says. “She was that and so very much more: a beautiful woman with a kind heart and a wonderful sense of humor.

Most important to and for me, she was a loving, supportive, and inspirational mother.”

Charlotte adds, “The fact that children will benefit would probably give her even more joy.

All in all, she would be very appreciative and thankful, as are the family and I.”

Bond Program Performance Audit The 2014 Parks Replacement Bond requires audits. To meet this requirement, an independent audit firm, Harvey M. Rose Associates, LLC, was hired through a Request for Proposals process to provide a performance audit at the Bond Program’s delivery midpoint. The audit was completed in January 2019.

The full Performance Audit report is available online at parksreplacementbond.org and is provided in Appendix D of the 2014 Parks Replacement Bond Year 4 Annual Report.

Glenhaven Park playground

The Performance Audit’s objectives were to determine if: • t he Bond Program funds were spent in a manner that adheres to the language of the Bond Measure; and • t he Bond Program is operating in a fiscally responsible manner, ensuring Bond dollars are clearly and separately tracked, and ensuring integrity and accuracy of financial statements.

The Performance Audit’s findings demonstrate that the Bond Program has been successful in delivering on the promises made to the community in Measure 26-159 and in Council Resolution 37085. The audit found that: • t he Bond Program funds were spent in a manner that adheres to the language of the Bond Measure; • t he Bond Program is operating in a fiscally responsible manner; and • t he Bond Program’s existing documentation systems are transparent, in place, and functioning well.

PP&R appreciates that the Performance Audit provides eight recommendations to further enhance the Bond Program’s efficiency. These recommendations and PP&R’s work to address them are summarized below.

1. D ocument PP&R’s approach to reallocation of available funds.

The Bond Program’s Contingency Report has been revised to provide a clearer picture of available funds. Reallocation of remainder funds will continue to follow existing fiscal policies, with program contingencies managed by the Bond Program manager. Allocation of other available Bond funds 34

will be made with input from the Bond Oversight Committee, the Assets & Development division manager, and the PP&R director. The Commissioner’s Office will be informed of all decisions.

Review and consider adjusting the escalation and contingency lines in the standardized budget template.

This recommendation will be implemented on new projects.

At this time, the Bond program has not had any new projects but expects new projects to utilize remainder funds in the coming year.

Formalize and document the process for timing and the size of Bond issuances.

The third and final Bond issuance was made in June 2020. New processes for this timing included enhanced coordination between the Bond Program manager, the management analyst, and the City’s Debt Management team. The process included improved contingency tracking, spending projections, and spend-down rates based on up-todate project timelines.

Formalize and document PP&R’s procedures for making spending projections.

New tracking tools have been created to enhance this work.

The Bond Program manager works with project managers to provide relevant data to the management analyst. Projections and actuals are compared, and the results are used to adjust the projection modeling for increased accuracy. This work is completed on a quarterly basis.

Revise the method for charging citywide overhead costs to projects.

PP&R staff has revised practices to charge citywide overhead costs to the Bond Program projects. Bond counsel and the City finance manager were consulted in implementing this recommendation.

Document procedures for tracking project funding for Bond projects that have additional funding sources such as SDCs. The Division Work Plan has been revised to more clearly track project funding sources. It is linked to the Bureau CIP Budget Master, an active document that tracks funding allocations and expenses to date for all active project numbers.

7. W ork with Procurement Services to evaluate and improved contractor performance.

This recommendation is beyond the scope of the Bond Program. PP&R has forwarded this recommendation to the appropriate parties in Procurement Services.

8. F ormalize and document contracting practices for on-call PTE contract management and monitoring.

This recommendation is beyond the scope of the Bond Program. PP&R has forwarded this recommendation to the appropriate parties in Procurement Services.

A final audit will be performed at the conclusion of Bond Program work. PP&R anticipates that the work will include a formal report to City Council.

Looking Forward Process improvements The Bond Program manager is working with the Program’s management analyst to continue to refine and document the Performance Audit recommendations and to make further process improvements in tracking, reporting, and projecting the work of the Program.

Project management Three large projects will continue to be monitored to bring them to successful implementation and completion. • D elta Park Urban Forestry Yard: Land use conditions of approval will need to be tracked through construction.

Construction within a constrained site while it remains an active worksite for PP&R staff will make project delivery complex.

Ongoing reporting and celebrations This report marks five years of annual reporting on the 2014 Parks Replacement Bond’s progress. Past annual reports, as well as this current year’s, are available online. This year the Executive Summary version will be available online only, and it will continue to be provided in both English and Spanish. As the Bond Program work comes to a close with just six projects remaining, PP&R anticipates issuing a final report after those projects are complete. The final report will include the results of a final audit and will not be tied to the fiscal year.

Moving forward, the Bond Team’s focus will remain on delivering the promises made to voters in 2014 as well as continued accountability and responsiveness to Portland residents in addressing urgent needs across the city.

As Year 5 of the Bond came to a close, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the community. Although cancelled celebrations, playground closures, and the shuttering of community centers have affected the public’s access to many of the benefits the Bond Program has delivered to the park system, many of Portland’s parks and natural areas remain open and available to support the community’s needs during these challenging times.

The important work of play Esther Arellano Harlow, a Roseway resident, couldn’t be happier with Bond-funded renovations at Glenhaven Park. The park has always been a place where people meet neighbors and kids would play in the mud on rainy days. But the park wasn’t a playground destination.

Glenhaven had some of PP&R’s oldest play equipment—dating back to the 1970s. “It felt very hot and exposed during the summer, and it seemed like people didn’t stay long,” Esther recalls. But now, she says, Glenhaven’s playground draws neighbors from across the Roseway, Madison South, and Rose City Park neighborhoods and unifies residents along NE 82nd Avenue.

Esther’s participation in the playground redesign began when she attended the first community meeting in February 2018, where everyone had an opportunity to talk about their families’ needs. Two open houses followed, with the second held during New Year in the Park, an annual event in Glenhaven Park organized by neighbors and businesses in the Cambodian, Lao, Thai, and Burmese communities. “I loved that PP&R tied it into this huge communitydriven event as a way to get the final feedback on the design,” she says.

Listening to the community helped PP&R ensure that the new playground would be welcoming and accessible to all. Esther voiced her support for playground options for different age groups and for improved accessibility.

Although many people expressed a strong desire for the net climber slide, Esther advocated for 39

the other slide to be accessible to all ages and abilities. “I love the way it’s incorporated into the hill and that I can chase my kids across features that don’t require me to do a lot of bending or climbing.”

The new playground allows Esther’s kids, ages 3 and 4½, to run and make big body movements. “The topographic features create a natural flow of play, like a river winding around bends,” she says. Her older child is all over the net climber, and the younger one loves running on the wavy walk. It’s not just for the kids though. Esther notes that the balance beam gives her a chance to do some core work.

Thanks to the playground and the new community garden, the park “feels more active, rather than a dark, empty space.” Esther believes that the new playground shows that “the City is investing in our community and that children are considered important community members who need special places of their own to meet and do the important work of play.” Of course, to her kids, “it is pure fun.”

Appendix A Expenses and Spend Report

PA R K S R E P L AC E M E N T B O N D A N N U A L R E P O R T YEAR 5

T

he 2014 Parks Replacement Bond requires annual reporting of expenses incurred by the Bond Program in program administration and in implementing projects. Program expenses generally consist of staff salary and benefits, project consultant fees, project construction costs, Bond issuance costs, and incidental administrative expenses. The incurred expenses are detailed in the Bond Program Expenses section. They are categorized by expense type, including professional services, construction costs, and administrative expenses. Projections on future spending are also included to provide additional insight into Bond Program spending.

Background The Bond Program began accruing expenses in December 2014. Financial accounting codes were created for each project, with each code being defined further by the phase in which the expenses were incurred. Project Managers charge external expenses (e.g., consultant fees) and internal costs (e.g., personnel time) directly to a project’s corresponding accounting code, which allows for an accurate and complete financial record of the spending progression for all Bond projects.

Historically, project overhead fees have not been included in the detailed expense categories in the Bond Annual Report.

The overhead costs are tracked separately, and a detailed reconciliation report of overhead costs will be provided at the close of the Bond Program.

For the purposes of this report, the Bond Program has established the definitions and categorizations, as described in the graphic on the following page for expenses incurred by the Bond Program Team.

Bond Program Expenses Through June 2020, the Bond Program incurred a total of $47,372,223 in expenses. These expenses included professional services, construction costs, and administrative expenses.

A comprehensive breakdown of these expenses, along with a percentage computation of the categorized expenses vs. aggregate Program expenses, are provided in the following pages.

For transparency purposes, administrative expenses have been tracked in several subcategories, including personnel costs for program management and support staff, Bond issuance costs, and various Program expenses.

The total of the listed Program expenses does not include overhead costs incurred by the Program and its projects.

Overhead costs are captured separately, tracked with Program expenses, and reported as a part of Program spending.

Overhead is composed of a fee added to all project personnel hours to cover PP&R’s indirect costs for services, including, among others, office space rental, information technology support, Procurement Services, and City Attorney services.

A detailed reconciliation report of overhead expenses will be provided at the close of the Bond Program.

Individual Project Expenses All projects implemented under the Bond Program are accounted for independently, allowing for the budget and current spending to be tracked throughout the life of each project. The bar graph on the following pages provides a breakdown of all current Bond projects, the project budget allocation, and spend to date for each project through June 30, 2020.

In the Project Spending bar graph, projects noted as complete represent completed studies and construction projects that are open to the public. Project spending may continue to occur following construction in order to address warranty and project close out expenses up to two years after construction.

Reporting methods Based on the recommendations from the Bond Performance Audit completed in 2019, a Project Funding Log was implemented to track changes to Bond project funding allocations, replacing the previously used notes mechanism. The new tracking tool has proven helpful to the Program as it nears completion and as funding reallocations are made.

The Project Funding Log informs several reports for Bond Team members to track project spending, including the monthly Project Spend Report and the Program Work Plan. These reports are also used for annual reporting and are the basis for the project spending information on the following pages. The project budget allocations and spend-to-date figures include all project expenses as well as overhead charges incurred to date.

Administrative Expenses The Bond Program has established a goal of keeping administrative expenses at less than 10% of total Bond Program spending. Considerable administrative expenses incurred at Program start-up, as expected, and resulted in administrative percentages above 10% for the first ten months of the Bond Program.

Overall administrative expenses have stayed well below 10% of total Bond spending since that time, with the accumulative percentage at 4.5% from the start of the Bond through June 30, 2020.

In Year 5 of the Program, administrative expenses continued to be a small portion of Program spending. In spring 2020 there was a significant lull in construction as the Program was between large projects, which led to a comparative increase in percentage spent on administrative costs. Overall, Year 5 administrative expenses came in at 5.6%.

In Year 4, the Bond Program followed the recommendation of the Bond Performance Audit to revise the method for charging citywide overhead costs to projects. This change did not significantly increase the administrative expenses, and the Program has benefited from the simpler approach to documenting and charging overhead expenses.

The following graph illustrates the year-to-year changes the Bond Program has seen in each expense category. The first year reflects administrative start-up costs and a focus on professional services costs at project start-up. In the years since, construction costs have been the majority of expenses, while the administrative expenses and professional services have decreased.

Issuance Spending Most of the Bond Program’s funds come from tax-exempt municipal bonds. Since borrowings are at low tax-exempt interest rates, public entities like PP&R are not permitted to generate extra earnings by investing the funds at higher, taxable rates. If Bond interest earnings are higher than the tax-exempt rates, the IRS generally requires the entity to return the overage. However, the entity can keep the extra earnings if it is able to reach certain Bond spend-down targets: 10% spent within six months, 45% within 12 months, 75% within 18 months, and 100% within two years. All spending targets must be met for the exception to apply.

The first issuance of the Bond in July 2015 included $26.3 million in tax-exempt funds. Program setup, staff training, and ambitious spending projections caused the first issuance to miss spenddown targets. This issuance has been fully spent. There were no Bond Program Penalty consequences, however, as the interest rates were quite low. Also in July 2015, $2M in taxable funds was issued. That issuance is not obligated to meet spend-down targets.

A second issuance of $24.5 million occurred in January 2018.

Spending of the second issuance was much lower than anticipated and the spend-down targets were not met due to delays in permitting and construction for several large projects. This issuance is 80% spent as of June 30, 2020. Again, there were no Bond Program penalty consequences as the interest rates were quite low.

The third and final issuance of $14.9 million occurred in June 2020. The Program expects to reach the spend-down targets.

Over the last five years of Bond spending, interest rates have remained relatively low. Overall interest earnings on unspent bond proceeds have not exceeded levels allowed by the IRS. Moving forward, interest rates will be closely monitored to ensure compliance. All Program spending is projected to conclude in FY 2021–22.

In total, Bond proceeds have amounted to $67,849,228. This is the revised spending target for the Program.

Phase 1 Project Summaries

The Parks Replacement Bond was passed in November 2014 authorizing $68 million in general obligation bonds for repair and replacement projects. The first Bond project list, known as Phase 1, was allocated $47.6 million. These projects are summarized below. The remaining available Bond funding will be spent in Phase 2, as outlined in Appendix C.

Project criteria for the 2014 Parks Replacement Bond The projects for the Phase 1 and Phase 2 Bond project lists were identified as urgent needs and prioritized with the following criteria: 1. Investing in projects that are immediate safety concerns or urgent repairs (urgency = high probability of failure x high consequence of failure). Equity ratings were also applied which factored in a higher rating for diverse communities of color, populations below the poverty level per Census data and youth below 18 years of age.

2. Investing in projects that reduce bigger costs later on.

3. Responsible repairs for general deferred maintenance needs.

4. Investing in energy efficiency.

5. Increasing accessibility for all.

6. Restoring services that are currently closed.
