4 issues in parks rec with medium priority
North Lake Trail extension to Lakeview Terrace
A $1.2 million trail extension past a 'trail to nowhere' ending in the woods will connect Lakeview Terrace's roughly 600 residents to downtown Umatilla, funded by shifting sales tax dollars from the East Lake Sports Complex.
Temporary library site design
The county switched architects from Powell to KTH for the temporary library remodel, with a quote and schedule expected within weeks. Members asked whether the exterior and a front park could be included, but funding priorities remain with the road project first.
Beekeeping and community gardens on public lands
Commissioners proposed dedicating some soon-to-be-purchased county land to community gardens and opening public lands to beekeeping leases. Staff noted past liability concerns and said a passive-site approach could work.
South Lake Regional Park completion
Commissioners celebrated tonight's first-pitch opening of the park's next phase and discussed whether the Live Well Foundation could become a funding partner to finish the remaining two phases of the master plan.
