Parks & Recreation Advisory Boards & Commissions

Heart of the Valley sculpture

Corvallis Parks and Recreation supports various boards and commissions that advise City Council on such topics as parks, urban forestry, recreation, natural areas, arts and culture.

Citizen participation on City of Corvallis boards and commissions serves two important purposes:

  • Citizens are directly involved in their local government and can positively impact the future of their community.
  • The City Council receives timely input and information regarding issues and potential impacts on citizens.

Anyone living in Corvallis, employed or self-employed full time in Corvallis, or residing within Corvallis' Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) may serve on these advisory boards and commissions. Typically, each term of office runs for three years; members are appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council; no individual member may serve more than three consecutive terms or nine years. Occasionally, additional ad hoc task forces and planning committees are created to assist with specific park projects, such as the Martin Luther King Jr. Park.

Meeting packets, agendas and minutes for these boards and commissions are available on the "Archives" pages of City of Corvallis web site. Select Parks & Recreation, then Boards and Commissions.

During World War II, the building became the site of the United Service Organization’s Canteen, where servicemen stationed at Oregon State University and Camp Adair gathered for recreation. After the war, City Hall became a women's dormitory for OSU.

The Corvallis Fire Department provides fire prevention and suppression services to the City of Corvallis, Oregon State University, and the surrounding Corvallis Rural Fire Protection District. Additionally, we provide the Advanced Life Support transport ambulance service under contract for nearly all of Benton County, a 765-square-mile area, and augment the Emergency Medical Services provided by the other fire/rescue agencies located around the County.

A career in the fire service is a rewarding and satisfying occupation. 

Open recruitments for firefighters are posted on the City's employment portal

Ambulance calls comprise a little more than 75 percent of the Corvallis Fire Department’s total call volume.

All of operations personnel are cross-trained in EMS and hold an Oregon Emergency Medical Technician certification – many at the Paramedic level. The EMS Division is committed to increasing survival and reducing pain and disability due to out-of-hospital medical emergencies with compassion, equality, and professionalism.

One of the challenges facing ambulance service personnel is determining whether any pertinent medical conditions exist in addition to the immediate emergency. The person being treated may be unconscious; and loved ones, if present, are under tremendous stress and may be unable to think clearly or trust their powers of recollection.

Fire extinguisher training

Fire Inspections - The City Fire Code (CMC Chapter 7.08) requires that all occupancies, other than one- and two-family residences, be inspected on a frequent basis for fire safety and conformance with the Fire Code.

Milling a large log with a bandsaw mill

The sad reality of urban trees is that they must eventually be removed due to death, disease, infrastructure conflicts or irreparable structural defects. The wood that has been laid down over the years of tree growth has stored carbon in its cells. This stored carbon has a value; as firewood, wood chips and potentially as lumber. Historically wood from threes removed within the city limits was mostly cut up and used as firewood.

Used fireworks on the street

Lighting and watching fireworks can be fun and exciting, but the Corvallis Fire Department is encouraging the community to remember that even legal fireworks can be dangerous and unpredictable. Therefore, extreme caution should always be used when lighting fireworks. If you choose to use locally-purchased and legal fireworks, ensure that you buy them from a licensed vendor at either a temporary stand or retail outlet. Choosing to import or use illegal fireworks or to modify legal fireworks can be dangerous and will result in significant fines up to $500.

Bikes parked on a street in Corvallis

Love your bike? Keep it safe by registering it with the Corvallis Police Department. Don't forget the serial number!

Party with lots of blurry people in the background

The Corvallis Police Department's Community Livability Unit works to keep neighborhoods safe and secure, particularly in areas near the Oregon State University campus. CPD monitors calls for service throughout the City and occasionally issues a Special Response Fee Notice to discourage further criminal behavior at a particular property. Repeated infractions can lead to the property being labeled a Chronic Nuisance Property. Both of these designations are described in detail below.

Corvallis is home to Oregon State University and faces many of the challenges that are common to large college towns. The Corvallis Police Department acknowledges that students enjoy having a good time during their time in Corvallis, but it's important to respect your neighbors by following local laws. If you and your friends are enjoying a non-disruptive party that doesn't involve criminal activity, you'll probably never hear from CPD – and we want to keep it that way.

Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (C.P.T.E.D. pronounced as "Sep-ted") is a proactive crime fighting technique in which the proper design and effective use of parks, open spaces, buildings and surroundings lead to a reduction in crime as well as an improvement in the quality of life for the entire community. While CPTED principles can reduce the opportunity for crime, additional programs should be implemented to tackle the root cause of the crimes affecting the areas where the audits are performed.

In the fall of 2017, CPD's Community Livability Unit unveiled an alcohol awareness educational campaign in partnership with the Benton County Health Department and Oregon State University.  The partnership worked with the Madison Avenue Collective, a local marketing and design firm, to develop an educational campaign which would resonate with people ages 18 to 25.

After months of collaboration, the campaign began. Posters and handouts were distributed across Oregon State University, at local alcohol retailers and restaurants, as well as various convenience and grocery stores.

Old and New City Services Bill

The City of Corvallis has switched billing software systems as of Monday June 17, 2019 and our new on-line payment system is live!  You may register your account and login to pay at this time. All customers will have a new account number, but the new number is easy to figure out. Just reverse the two groups of numbers in your current account number. So, for example, if your account number has been 362507-17670, your new Account Number - Customer Number will be 17670-362507. It’s that easy! The 17670 in this example is the account number, while the 362507 is the customer number.

The City manages an industrial wastewater pretreatment program mandated by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This program regulates the discharge of industrial waste to the sanitary sewer system through the City’s sewer use ordinance. The City intends to modify the sewer use ordinance to comply with DEQ and EPA regulations.

House Bill 2001 Timeline

The Oregon State Legislature passed House Bill (HB) 2001 during the 2019 regular session. The following summarizes the new law and outlines the anticipated changes for property within the City of Corvallis.

Q: How does HB 2001 affect the types of housing allowed in my community?
A: Cities with a population of 25,000 or more must allow duplexes on any lot zoned to allow single-family detached dwellings by June 30, 2022. Additional housing types (triplex, fourplex and cottage cluster) must be allowed in "areas" zone for residential use.

Waste prevention is very different from recycling. Recycling redirects discarded material from the landfill, and prevents materials from entering the waste stream. Waste prevention is about changing habits in regards to what and how we use resources. It is the best practice to reduce waste, affecting both the upstream and downstream effects on our environment, by reducing resource extraction, manufacturing, transportation and end-of-life management.

The September Treasury Report from the City of Corvallis Finance Department is now available online.

Oregon law requires Oregon's Department of Administrative Services to calculate and post the maximum annual rent increase percentage allowed by statute by September 30 for the upcoming calendar year. The allowable amount is a flat percentage rate plus the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, West Region (All Items), as most recently published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The maximum rent increase for the 2024 calendar year was 10.0%.

The City’s newly adopted Transportation System Plan calls for buffered bike lanes to gradually replace existing bike lanes throughout Corvallis where appropriate and space allows.

Marys River construction site

The City of Corvallis is postponing a major capital improvement project that would reroute and replace a water line that crosses the Marys River at 4th Street. The water line, which currently runs above ground along the 4th Street bridge, was to be rerouted under the Marys River by constructing an open trench across the riverbed. Work began in August, but heavy fall rains created challenges to maintaining a dry work area, so the project will be postponed until July of 2020.

News - For Immediate Release

City Manager Mark Shepard extended on March 30 the City's local emergency declaration until further notice as the community responds to the COVID-19 pandemic. The announcement supersedes the City's original emergency declaration that was issued on March 13.

The Benton County Emergency Operation Center (EOC) has been leading the response to the COVID-19 pandemic for the past two weeks. The EOC is staffed jointly by the City of Corvallis and Benton County to focus local resources on the pandemic.

As part of the joint City/County response to Covid-19, members of the Corvallis Police Department’s Community Livability Unit helped reduce the impact of COVID-19 by delivering prescriptions to City of Corvallis residents who were age 65 or older or had a life-threatening pre-existing medical condition. As our response to the pandemic has evolved, this program is no longer available. Although we are no longer offering this service, the Corvallis Police Department remains committed to the safety of our community!

Corvallis Mayor Biff Traber issued the following statement on April 2, 2020, after a briefing on the COVID-19 pandemic by City staff participating in the countywide emergency operations center.

"The video was clear and easy to understand. It seems a required block perimeter is determined by what you want to walk to. In the NYC example, lots of people were walking because there were places to walk to. In Houston and behind the Corvallis Safeway, what is the walking attraction? Thus, block size should be determined by context. In single-family neighborhoods why worry about block size?

Map of downtown Corvallis showing a close-up of the bridge detour.

As of March 2021, the Van Buren Bridge has been limited to vehicles under 12 tons. This is part of a nationwide load rating review of bridges required by the Federal Highway Administration and is unrelated to the bridge replacement project. It was last assessed for weight restriction in 1995, where depending on how many axles the vehicle had, the max weight was 40 tons.

As part of the new limits, the Oregon Department of Transportation is installing new signs and detours in the area around the bridge, and restriping the bridge to move traffic to the center lane.

The February Treasury Report from the City of Corvallis Finance Department is now available online.

The U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) allocates federal funds to state and local governments as well as non-profit organizations to support community development and increase access to fair and equal housing.  As a recipient of these federal funds, the City of Corvallis commits itself to affirmatively furthering fair housing and prepares an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) to demonstrate its actions towards this commitment.

The City of Corvallis works with the Fair Housing Council of Oregon to address housing discrimination. The FHCO is a nonprofit civil rights organization driven to eliminate illegal housing discrimination through enforcement and education across Oregon. They promote equal access to housing by providing education, outreach, technical assistance, and enforcement support on federal, state, and local fair housing laws and protected classes.

Example of Discriminatory Provision

Deed restrictions such as Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CCRs) are commonly known today for laying out rules for homeowner's associations. However, those who own older residential property may also find racial restrictive covenants in their property deed and CCRs.

Microshelters in Porter Park

Transitioning people from houselessness to permanent housing requires a continuum of options. Microshelters are intended to assist community members who do not currently have stable housing but are able to live in a more independent, distributed shelter environment.

Check for leaks around your home
  • Leaks are the worst water wasters in your home. Water that leaks does not get used for any beneficial purpose, yet it was treated to be safe to drink.
  • Check every faucet, toilet, showerhead, connector, and hose bib around the house for leaks. Even a slow drip can use 15 to 20 gallons of water a day. Larger leaks and running toilets can use up to 100 gallons of water per day or more.

What about OUTDOOR Water Conservation? Here are a few tips:   Many people use several times as much water in the summer than they do in the winter. Most of this increase in water use may be attributed to lawn watering. Many people use far more water than needed when watering their lawn. By practicing wise water use, you can save water and still keep your lawn green and healthy. Here are some suggestions:

Where do we get our water?

 

Willamette River

The City's primary source of water is the Willamette River. The City has three surface water rights on the Willamette. During peak water use season in the summer, the Willamette River is the primary source of City water.

What is a Watershed?

 

A watershed is an area of land that channels water, such as rain or snow, into a body of water like a lake, river or stream. Broadly speaking, watersheds are the land that collect, store, and transport water. A watershed can be small, such as an individual lake, or relatively huge, and include hundreds of thousands of square miles.

The City of Corvallis and Benton County are working together to make streets safer for everyone—whether you walk, bike, roll, use transit, or drive.

The Corvallis City Council has established system development charges (SDCs) for water, wastewater, stormwater, transportation, and park facilities.

The Transportation SDC fee is comprised of both a reimbursement fee and improvement fee. The value of extra capacity in existing transportation infrastructure is apportioned to projected growth, expressed in terms of daily vehicle trips, to determine the Transportation SDC Reimbursement Fee.  In addition, the value of extra capacity in planned transportation infrastructure is apportioned to projected growth in the same manner, to determine the Transportation SDC Improvement Fee.  The total Transportation SDC Fee is calculated using the sum of the two fees.

The Stormwater SDC fee is comprised of both a reimbursement fee and improvement fee.

The Wastewater SDC fee is comprised of both a reimbursement fee and improvement fee.

The Water SDC fee is comprised of both a reimbursement fee and improvement fee.

The City of Corvallis will be implementing changes to posted speeds on Circle Boulevard between Kings and Harrison at the direction of the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT).  In the upcoming months, City crews will be replacing speed limit signage to reflect the following:
