"Play Happy - Be Happy" Make Fun a Habit!

THE MISSION: The mission of Happy Valley Parks and Recreation is to create and strengthen community connections through our natural areas, gathering places and services. We are here to provide opportunities for personal growth, preserve natural spaces for future generations to enjoy, help individuals optimize their health and wellness, and deliver diverse recreational opportunities that will meet the needs of the entire community. Our role in the community will be an active one, bringing individuals together in the name of health, growth and fun. THE GOALS:

These goals and objectives were derived from input received throughout the planning process, from city staff and officials, the Parks Advisory Committee and community members and stakeholders.

1. Encourage and support active and ongoing participation by diverse community members in the planning and decision-making for parks and recreational opportunities.

2. Acquire a diversified system of parks, recreation facilities and open spaces that provides equitable access to all residents.

3. Design and develop high-quality parks and recreation facilities to ensure the safety and enjoyment of users and maximize recreational experiences.

4. Provide a parks and recreation system that is efficient to maintain and operate, provides a high level of user comfort, safety and aesthetic quality, and protects capital investments.

5. Develop a network of shared-use trails and bicycle & pedestrian corridors to enable connectivity between parks, neighborhoods and public amenities.

6. Facilitate and promote a varied and inclusive suite of recreation programs that accommodate a spectrum of ages, interests and abilities.

7. Provide leadership and management of the park, recreation and open space system throughout the City.

EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES:

The City hosts many robust community events and offers a plethora of library activities. This list of

the list of all activities already offered:

COMMUNITY EVENTS:

The City helps support with course logistics offering Code Staff, City Staff and HV Police for

this annual fun run. This run is a fund raiser for Happy Valley Elementary School.

• Dumpster Day –

This City-wide, annual event occurs the second Saturday in June. Happy Valley residents can

drop off items that still have life in them, or broken items that need to be disposed of. There

is also shredding, scrap metal, tire collection and e-cycling

• 4th of July –

This day-long festival begins in the morning with a hike hosted by the Happy Valley Hikers,

followed by a community parade where everyone is invited to participate. Throughout the

day at Happy Valley Park, visitors can enjoy live music, various inflatable structures, carnival

games, a variety of food and business vendors, and a lively beer garden. The event concludes

with one of the best firework displays in the area. Entry to the park and most activities are

completely free for visitors to enjoy.

• Concerts in the Park (Library)-

Happy Valley Library hosts a five-week concert series at the Village Green Park (across from

• National Night Out-

This event is held each year on the first Tuesday in August. This annual community-building

campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to

make our neighborhoods safer, better places to live. Each community

has their own way of celebrating NNO. In Happy Valley, neighborhoods plan their own block

parties. Parties that are registered with the City of Happy Valley receive a free “party

package” that includes hot dogs, chips and water. We have to warn you, your street party

might get a little noisy when the HV Police and Clackamas Fire District arrive with their lights

and sirens on! Your City Councilors, City staff and members of the Traffic & Public Safety

Committee will also drop by your festivities with prizes for the kids and crime prevention tips

and hand-outs for the adults.

• Harvest Festival-

What better way to transition to the cool, cozy months of fall than a family friendly event

that brings families of the community together? There are plenty of activities for the little

ones to enjoy including a petting zoo, wagon rides, pumpkin patch, pumpkin decorating,

face painting, special performances, and much more. If you are feeling lucky…and hungry,

you could even enter the pumpkin pie-eating contest.

• Tree Lighting-

Kick off your holiday season with a warm celebration with community members. Come enjoy

something warm to drink, a winter treat, and a seasonal celebration. Guests can enjoy

carriage rides, visiting with Santa, carol singers, and the lighting of the official Happy Valley

tree.

RECREATION/CLUB YOUTH SPORTS PROGRAMS:

Recreational youth sports rarely have tryouts, are meant to develop fundamental skills and hold games and practices in the local community. These leagues are based on a specific sport season. Registration fees are usually minimal, and teams rely on volunteer coaches to help with the program. Club sports are geared towards a more competitive edge and tryouts are mandatory to determine skill level. Teams may travel and play in many tournaments. The fees are higher due to the cost of uniforms, traveling, and coaching staff. This sport can be played year-round.

Below are some examples of existing sports organizations for possible partnership:

• Precision Elite Gymnastics and Dance o Programs Offered Year-Round (monthly with weekly class)

▪ Gymnastics – ages 18mos-16 ($63-$77) ▪ Dance (ballet, hip hop, lyrical, tap, jazz) – ages 3-16 ($47-$67) ▪ Camps offered summer and winter break ($135-$210)

are some examples:

Parks and Recreation Budget Preview

Explanation

In order to meet the necessary deadlines to have a parks levy on the May 2018 ballot, the

City Council will need to approve the ballot title and language by February 20th. To assist

with those conversations, the Finance Department has analyzed the difference between a

$0.50 levy and maintaining the existing rate of $0.54. Attached is a comparison of the

potential Parks Fund budget depending on the levy options.

Financial Impact

Below is a brief overview of the differences in estimated revenue from the two levy options:

• $0.50 Levy = $1.46M/year

• $0.54 Levy = $1.58M/year

On the expenditure side in the draft budget attached, the difference is nearly all devoted

towards increasing the amount that goes into the Reserve for Replacement. As can be seen

in the second attachment, the City needs to be contributing $460,680 to the Reserve for

Replacement Schedule (not including past deficiencies). Even with the $0.54 levy rate, the

City won’t be able to fully fund this amount, while also meeting other needs.

Regardless of options, the draft proposed budget includes an increase of 0.5 FTE for parks

maintenance. The initial plan is to contract out most of the additional maintenance services.

In addition, there is a proposed 1 FTE increase for recreation programming. Much of the

work will be absorbed by existing staff members.

Special Issues

Currently, the Council has a policy to set aside a 20% contingency in each fund. The draft

budget proposals attached include fully funding the contingency at this level. Since the City

is starting a parks and recreation fund without a beginning fund balance, the City Council

could decide to provide a lower contingency amount in the first year, while gradually

increasing it over time.

Recommendation

City staff recommend the Council consider asking voters to maintain the $0.54 rate for

parks and recreation services. At this rate, the City would be better positioned to fund the

capital replacement needs in existing parks. Through the City's outreach efforts to develop

the Parks Master Plan, the community also has visions for more programs and new parks.

Maintaining the current rate provides more flexibility to meet future needs. Finally, this

proposal represents a continuation of the current taxes in Happy Valley. The only difference

is that the $0.54 per $1,000 of assessed value would stay in Happy Valley. ATTACHMENTS:
