Greetings! I was contacted by the coordinator for the LOSD/City Ad Hoc committee working on addressing the issue of a new Pool and Rec Center. I was invited to attend a meeting on Jan 30 with other NA chairs to make a 10-minute presentation on where the PNA stands on the pool, particularly about whether the Pool & Rec Center should be located on the golf course since that is in our neighborhood. I’ll need some help with that since I don’t know much about it. Please provide your thoughts on the matter to me by emailing pnachair1@gmail.com or using the links below to provide feedback directly to the committee.
The ad hoc task force — comprised of representatives from the Lake Oswego City Council and School Board and staff — are inviting major user groups in the Lake Oswego community to help inform the final proposal for this possible joint project.
- Input Session Jan. 30, 4-6:30 p.m., Gym, Fitness Room, Golfers and Neighborhood Associations
- LOPR Maintenance Center, Willow Room, 17601 Pilkington Rd.
- Input Session Feb. 3, 4-6 p.m., Pool Users and Unaffiliated
- LOPR Maintenance Center, Willow Room, 17601 Pilkington Rd.
Please click here to access the current concept proposal, the online feedback form, and list of leads who have been asked to organize verbal testimony on behalf of their respective user groups.
The user group input sessions are public meetings. Designated leads of the invited groups are being asked to give verbal testimony during their scheduled time. Other guests are welcome to sit and listen from the gallery, as well as provide written testimony at the meeting or via the online feedback form to capture all input. These feedback forms will be part of public record.
The leader from each user group will have an allocated allotment of time to provide testimony. By clicking on this link, you will find the names and contact information for the leaders who have been identified to serve as a spokesperson for each of the various user groups. We encourage you to reach out to the leaders of any groups you identify with to ensure that your input is included in that testimony.
Please note that the final “user group” at the hearings is for testimony from unaffiliated users. We hope that residents who want to offer testimony that is outside the user groups identified, but still germane to the facilities under discussion, can take this opportunity to have their voice heard at that time.
We are also providing an opportunity for written testimony relative to the user groups. Please click on the link to the online feedback form to provide written testimony. Please note that if we receive written testimony about facilities or programs other than those being considered in this process, we will forward that information to the appropriate personnel. That testimony will not be included in the final summary for this effort, which will be available to the public once the process is complete.
It is the hope of the Lake Oswego City Council and the Lake Oswego School District Board of Directors that this combined testimony, along with budget considerations, will help inform the formal recommendations that will then be shared back with the community-at-large at an Open House prior to a final vote by both bodies.
Participation from the diversity of voices in Lake Oswego will provide your elected officials with an invaluable perspective for what can sometimes be challenging decisions on behalf of all its residents
