NCPRD District Advisory Committee (DAC) - June 10, 2026

The North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District (NCPRD) District Advisory Committee (DAC) met on June 10, 2026, to discuss the district's financial challenges and potential funding strategies. Presenters from the Trust for Public Land and Swift Public Affairs shared polling data and community engagement plans related to a proposed five-year local option levy aimed at increasing operational funding by 18 cents per thousand assessed value. The committee reviewed the district's budget cuts, rising costs, and the forecasted fiscal cliff in 2031-32 if additional funding is not secured. Polling indicated mixed voter support for the levy, with a need for further community education and engagement. The committee discussed timing options for placing a funding measure on the ballot, ultimately passing a motion to postpone the levy introduction and continue working with partners on engagement and timing evaluation. The meeting emphasized the importance of transparent communication, strategic planning, and collaboration with community partners to address the district's funding needs.
