City Budget Update

by Jennifer Yocom, Community Relations Manager, Portland Parks & Recreation As you may know, the City of Portland is facing a Possible $25 million deficit for 10% reduction fiscal year 2013-14.

FY 2013-14 Several factors have impacted this deficit including the Multnomah County Library District, the recent Department of Justice settlement, and budget notes from the FY 2012-13 Adopted Budget. With that, the Mayor and City Council have asked all City bureaus, including Parks, to develop a budget based on 90% of their current budget (the Current Appropriation Level).

That means Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) faces up to a 10% cut in programs and services.

While we don’t know what PP&R’s final budget will be at this point, it is possible that certain programs will be changed, reduced or eliminated, or fees will increase to help cover costs.

Follow the process at www. portlandoregon.gov/parks/budget, and find out more about community budget forums where you can testify at www. portlandoregon.gov/cbo. The City’s final budget should be adopted in June and implemented on July 1, 2013, the first day of the new fiscal year.

The work of PP&R—its parks, natural areas, community centers, and programming—daily and directly affect the lives of Portland residents. Follow what’s happening and consider attending and testifying at public meetings about the issues important to you.

INCLUSION SERVICES FOR PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS Within the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) of 1990, Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) provides accommodations to individuals with disabilities/special needs, so that they may receive an equal opportunity to participate in programs offered citywide.

How it Works 1. Choose the activity you would like to participate in, and then the PP&R site where the activity is being offered.

2. Register for the activity. You can do this in person at a PP&R site, or on-line at www.PortlandParks.org.

When registering, let the person know that you will need accommodations in order to participate in the activity (online, check the box.)

3. Once registered, please contact Inclusion Services at 503-823-4328. If this is your first accommodation through Inclusion Services you will need to do a phone intake with a staff member. At the end of the phone intake, it will be determined whether an assistant will be needed on the first day of the activity to provide on-site support. Future assistance will be provided based on need. The inclusion staff will work with the instructor on how to support you and your individual needs.

Important Details A general program may be adapted using auxiliary aids and services, but the basic structure of the program remains the same. Accommodations are made as needed, and can be flexible and creative. Participants need to register for activities that are intended for their birth age. Personal care is provided for activities in the pre-school and youth category, up through age 12.

If you have questions about Inclusion Services, please call 503-823-4328 V/TTY. A minimum of 10 business days (Monday-Friday) advance notice is required. The Inclusion Services staff will do their best to accommodate each participant.
