NCPRD District Advisory Committee (DAC) - July 8, 2026

The NCPRD District Advisory Committee (DAC) met on July 8, 2026, to discuss key procurement and financial matters related to the North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District. The primary focus was on the proposed amended master cooperative Intergovernmental Agreements (IGAs) between NCPRD and the City of Milwaukee, including funding and maintenance responsibilities for Milwaukee Bay Park Phase 3 and other district parks. Committee members reviewed the financial health of NCPRD, noting structural funding challenges and the need for a local option levy to support operations. The discussion included detailed examination of capital improvement funding sources, such as Metro grants and system development charges (SDCs), and the equity of resource allocation between Milwaukee and unincorporated areas. The committee debated the timing and terms of the IGAs, including utility fee negotiations and maintenance standards, with concerns about potential financial impacts and district-wide equity. A motion to recommend approval of the IGAs with minor staff edits was made but did not pass, leading to a decision to postpone the recommendation until the September meeting to allow further review and discussion. Public comments highlighted community concerns about park equity and district structure. No final votes on contract awards or vendor selections occurred, but the meeting centered on critical procurement-related agreements and budget considerations affecting future capital projects and operations.
