Mayor Mark Gamba expresses dissatisfaction towards commissioner s attempt to safeguard assets
A park redevelopment contract between Clackamas County and Milwaukie is still being negotiated as Mayor Mark Gamba says he disagrees with several terms the county says they ve included to safeguard their assets in case Milwaukie leaves the district.
Since the redevelopment of Milwaukie Bay Park was proposed in 2017 the city and county have been unable to agree on contractual terms, with the most recent delay occuring on July 6 when Commissioner Paul Savas suggested updating the contract to ensure that the laborious negotiations were not souring the county s relationship with Milwaukie and that the county would be at no risk of losing assets or funds if Milwaukie were to withdraw from the North Clackamas Parks & Recreation District like Happy Valley did in 2017.
