Top issues during term (20)(Parks Rec)
Astoria Aquatic Center / Community Center investment
Up to $20,000 donated by a resident, with possible multi-year maintenance support; city costs still unknown.
Riverwalk bicycle safety
Costs so far are limited to signage; a future ban would carry enforcement costs.
Doughboy Monument centennial and Veterans Day
Disc golf feasibility at Shively Park
Almost no cost to the city — donated baskets, volunteer labor, and only about two hours a week of maintenance after build-out.
Parks Master Plan Update
The implementation matrix outlines costs and funding sources for ten years of projects, including $50,000-$80,000 for a system-wide wayfinding plan.
Wayfinding for locating names on the memorial
Regional Library Sharing Expanded
Non-residents outside the library districts still pay $70 per year (or $6/month) for a card; the agreement itself maximizes existing resources at no added cost.
Temporary art display application — Paul Soriano
The City previously allocated $60,000 to support arts programming and consultant work.
Riverwalk lighting extension to Upper Town
$57,078 for the lights, funded by a $60,000 budget transfer within the Promote Astoria Fund.
Maritime Memorial engraving funding shortfall
A $3,000 shift within the Maritime Memorial Fund, covered by engraving application fees already collected.
17th Street floating dock replacement
$46,000 now, ~$429,000 total — about $129,000 over the original $300,000 budget.
Evergreen Field improvements grant
Grant funds with city matching dollars from the parks operations budget; amount not specified.
Parking enforcement at the Memorial
About $60,000 in the FY 2026-27 budget plus $2,000-$4,000 annually for maintenance.
Securing leaning memorial panels
A test panel assessment runs at least $18,000 from urban renewal funds; a full repair could top $658,000.
Library of Things collection
Items were largely donated, so the cost to taxpayers appears minimal.
Astoria Column 100th Anniversary Celebration
Marine railway deterioration near the Memorial
Unknown — a quote from Bergerson Construction has not yet been obtained.
Bumble Childcare sewage pump emergency
$40,000 from the parks contingency, leaving $35,000.
Former Central School Site — Park Proposal
Would require voter-approved bond funding plus a maintenance mechanism — no city commitment made.
New library community reception
