How to read the dollars

Annual value, one-time capital, public funds, and in-kind City support are kept separate. Unknown values are not treated as zero; they stay visible as amounts still being filled in.

A financial comparison requires full City costs, a defined alternative and comparable reporting periods. No current entry meets those requirements. Earlier unsupported estimates are withheld.

Decisions to work through

5 source-reported examples, with a consistent review structure. The questions, alternatives and proposed measures below are Atlas analysis. They do not establish agreement terms or recommend an operating model without the missing evidence.

Sellwood Community House

Under what conditions could a community operator sustain accessible neighborhood services?

What the sources establish

The Council presentation describes community operation and private investment at Sellwood. The progress report also names The Shack at Sellwood Park and Laurelhurst Dance Studio. Those mentions establish examples, not a common budget or identical agreement terms.

Presentation, slide 11Progress report rosterFY2025–26 report; September 8, 2026 presentation. Reviewed 2026-09-12. Executed agreements, full operating costs and measured access outcomes are not supplied by these materials.

City responsibilities to verify
Public facility and retained ownership are described. Verify structural repairs, inspections, insurance, utilities, staffing support and capital obligations in the executed agreement.
Partner responsibilities to verify
Community operation and programming are described. Verify staffing, maintenance, utility payments, fee revenue, fundraising and the limits of responsibility by facility.
Financial evidence
No verified annual total or avoided-cost comparison. Operator revenue is not the same as philanthropy, and operator expenditure is not automatically a City saving. Earlier estimates are withheld.
Public access and participation
Obtain required and delivered public hours, fees, scholarship eligibility and take-up, program participation and closure days. Track each facility separately.
Operating risks and requirements
Affordability, staff capacity, building repairs and continuity if the operator exits. Identify the City service alternative before estimating avoided costs.
Minimum next evidence
Executed agreement and amendments; one completed fiscal year's operating statement and City support; public-hour and fee schedules; aggregate participation and scholarship counts.
Alternatives to compare
Continue the current terms; modify access or maintenance responsibilities; compare a City-operated service with the same hours and scope. No alternative is ranked without comparable costs.
Proposed success measures
Cost per delivered public hour and participant, scholarship reach, maintenance compliance and service continuity, measured against an agreed baseline.

Laurelhurst Dance Studio

What must an improvement and operating agreement establish before a facility reactivation is considered successful?

What the sources establish

The presentation identifies studio reactivation as an asset-partnership example; the progress report names the studio with Sellwood Community House. The documents do not establish an audited investment amount, delivered work or an opening schedule.

Presentation, slide 11Progress report rosterFY2025–26 report; September 8, 2026 presentation. Reviewed 2026-09-12. Financial commitment, construction completion and operating requirements need agreement-level records.

City responsibilities to verify
Verify ownership and premises, retained structural and capital obligations, permitted uses, approvals and inspection responsibilities.
Partner responsibilities to verify
Verify the funded improvement scope, delivery milestones, operating responsibilities and required programming. Proposed work must remain separate from completed expenditure.
Financial evidence
The earlier investment estimate and ten-year annualization are withheld. Record one-time work, recurring expenses and City contributions separately, with actual versus committed amounts.
Public access and participation
Document opening conditions, ADA work, required public hours, fees, community access and cancellations. Do not infer current availability from a plan to reopen.
Operating risks and requirements
Scope changes, permitting, capital shortfalls, accessibility and obligations if improvements or opening are delayed.
Minimum next evidence
Executed premises agreement; funded scope and schedule; milestone/completion evidence; responsibility schedule; proposed fees and required public hours.
Alternatives to compare
Phase the work; change scope or agreement terms; compare another service location; continue holding the building while funding and requirements are resolved.
Proposed success measures
Verified milestones, accessible operating hours delivered and full City cost, with ongoing maintenance assigned and funded.

Leach Botanical Garden

How should the City assess support for a specialized destination operated with a nonprofit?

What the sources establish

The presentation describes a long-term nonprofit operation at a City-owned destination. The report names Leach Garden Friends. These establish the partnership example but not the current full-cost or public-access account.

Presentation, slide 11Progress report rosterFY2025–26 report; September 8, 2026 presentation. Reviewed 2026-09-12. Historic investment, current grants, operating receipts and City staff support require separate source records and periods.

City responsibilities to verify
Verify operating grants, retained horticultural or maintenance staffing, utilities, capital ownership and lifecycle obligations.
Partner responsibilities to verify
Verify visitor services, garden care, educational programming, admission or rental receipts, donations and restricted grants.
Financial evidence
No combined annual-value total. Separate historic capital investment from current operating grants, earned revenue, donations and retained City costs; avoid counting grant receipts again as public benefit.
Public access and participation
Document admission and free-access policies, concessions or discounts, hours, accessible routes and aggregate attendance, including education programs.
Operating risks and requirements
Specialist staffing, living collections, seasonal revenue, asset replacement and continuity of public access during changes in funding.
Minimum next evidence
Current agreement and grant scope; one fiscal year's operating accounts and City support; historic capital sources by project; hours, access policies and aggregate attendance.
Alternatives to compare
Continue support; tie revised support to defined access and care outcomes; compare changes in service scope with their staffing and lifecycle effects.
Proposed success measures
Full City cost, delivered access, collection-care obligations and visitor/education participation, with agreed service quality and affordability measures.

Pittock Mansion

What agreement and approval process would let a heritage operator deliver preservation work reliably?

What the sources establish

The operator's June account described preservation needs, agreement uncertainty and a lengthy permission process for lawn work, while crediting expedited City help with a security improvement. These are reported experiences; the account does not establish responsibility for each delay.

June transcript, J0235–J0245June minutesJune 9, 2026 Board meeting. Reviewed 2026-09-12. Underlying agreement, approval records, project accounts and the City's account are needed to assess causes and results.

City responsibilities to verify
Verify retained preservation duties, asset ownership, permissions, inspections and who can approve changes. Confirm the actual agreement term and renewal status.
Partner responsibilities to verify
Verify visitor operations, collections care, fundraising, maintenance and project delivery responsibilities under the current agreement.
Financial evidence
Reported fundraising goals, funds raised and completed expenditure are different measures. Obtain dated accounts and City support before estimating a project gap or avoided cost.
Public access and participation
Separate paid museum admission from access to the surrounding public grounds. Measure fees, discounts, public hours, accessible routes and programming by service.
Operating risks and requirements
Preservation standards, repair sequencing, contract continuity and staff capacity for approvals. Verify the steps and reasons behind delays before attributing fault.
Minimum next evidence
Current agreement and renewal correspondence; one preservation project's dated approval trail, scope, budget and funding; the operator and City's explanation of dependencies.
Alternatives to compare
A named liaison, documented approval stages, standard scopes for recurring work or revised agreement responsibilities. Check feasibility with staff before recommending a process change.
Proposed success measures
Time from complete application to decision, avoidable rework, preservation milestones, staff effort and public access maintained during works.

Portland Tennis Center

Does the operating transition preserve affordable service and deliver the expected City benefit?

What the sources establish

The City announced initial improvements and expected annual operating savings. The August Board discussion asked how access, scholarships, employee transitions and oversight would work. Announcement amounts remain forecasts or commitments until verified against delivered results.

City announcementAugust transcript, A0163–A0196Detailed access comparison and transition noticeAugust 2026 announcements and Board discussion. Reviewed 2026-09-12. An executed agreement, comparable service baseline and post-transition reporting are needed; no ROI is calculated.

City responsibilities to verify
Verify retained capital duties, oversight, transition costs and agreement remedies. Public ownership does not by itself establish affordability or unlimited City discretion.
Partner responsibilities to verify
Verify improvement milestones, court and program delivery, staffing, scholarships, reporting and maintenance under the lease and separate outdoor-court license.
Financial evidence
Separate the announced one-time investment from forecast annual net operating savings. Neither is a measured outcome or a complete comparison of City costs.
Public access and participation
Compare the same activities, prices, hours, unique users, visits and financial-assistance outcomes. USTA assistance differs from PP&R's Access Discount; membership is not free play.
Operating risks and requirements
Construction closure, fee and assistance changes, employee transition, service continuity, reporting capacity and retained major repairs. Check the operator's current phased schedule.
Minimum next evidence
Both agreements; one pre-transition year of aggregate participation and discount data; City cost baseline and annual-report requirements.
Alternatives to compare
Continue with verification; seek changes to access or reporting terms; compare service scopes or operating models. Agreement review must establish what changes are legally available.
Proposed success measures
Comparable affordable participation and public court-hours, realized City costs, improvement delivery and service continuity, with distributional effects visible.
