City of Portland Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget 2023-24 Actuals 2024-25 Actuals 2025-26 Revised Budget 2026-27 Proposed Personnel $3,898,625 $4,465,059 $4,973,722 $6,006,260 Grand Total $62,827,982 $61,838,113 $113,632,969 $99,666,901 Program Description and Goals Portland Parks & Recreation's (PP&R) Capital Development program delivers planning, design, engineering, project management, and construction management services for PP&R capital projects. Program objectives are sustaining and modernize existing assets, equitably expanding PP&R's system, and responding to growing city needs, while collaborating with internal and external stakeholders to scope projects and manage design, permitting, procurement, and construction. The Capital Development program includes three primary components: Capital Growth, Capital Renovation, and Engineering and Construction. Capital Renovation delivered the 2014 Parks Replacement Bond, and is delivering the 2019 Metro Bond Local Share, Major Maintenance, ADA, and Play Piece Replacement programs. Capital Growth includes the Non-Park Use Permit program, while Engineering and Construction includes the Environmental Compliance and Health program. Key responsibilities include constructing new parks, recreation facilities, and natural areas; expanding and modernizing existing assets; and delivering capital maintenance, rehabilitation, and renovation projects. The program completes emergency capital repairs using equity-informed prioritization and removes accessibility barriers consistent with PP&R's ADA Transition Plan. Additional responsibilities include coordinating with the public and project stakeholders; representing PP&R on technical committees; reviewing development proposals affecting park assets; and providing technical support to PP&R staff. Program outcomes include tracking service delivery against goals service levels such as population within ½ mile of a park, within 1 mile of a community garden, and within 3 miles of a community center, along with park operational effectiveness, and regional trail miles. The program reduces access disparities and increases park, natural area, community centers, pools, trails, facilities, assets, and recreation services through the Capital Growth Projects – while improving PP&R assets through large Capital Renovation Projects.

Equity Impacts Equity is a core principle of PP&R's Capital Development program. To ensure equitable access to the Parks and Recreation system, capital projects are selected using a rating system that considers demographic data points and the impact on underserved populations, including youth, seniors, and low-income communities. The ranking system considers park and asset access, households served, and likelihood and consequence of failure. Additional factors include geography, partnerships, cost, staffing capacity, operational impacts, ADA needs, and project timing. Extensive public outreach to impacted communities takes place during project development to ensure community voices inform park design and investment decisions. Completed capital projects 903

City of Portland Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget have improved equity and accessibility by removing ADA barriers, repairing critical infrastructure, expanding parks in underserved areas, and modernizing facilities to serve a growing city. Changes to Program In FY 2025-26, the Capital Development program experienced the following changes:

  1. PP&R's System Development Change (SDC) revenues have been fully budgeted to capital projects and a decrease in SDC revenues is expected for the next three years.
  2. Major Maintenance project budget encumbrances from last fiscal year have been budgeted to pay off the Light Pole Safety Project, limiting this fiscal year's Major Maintenance available revenues for asset repairs and replacements.
  3. The program lost three experienced project managers to retirements and career moves; coupled with the hiring freeze, there is a net project manager capacity loss. 904
