BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS
MEETING DATE: September 27, 2021
SUBJECT: Board Order establishing overnight parking prohibition on Spring River Road
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
I recommend approval of Board Order 2021-042 which prohibits overnight parking on the
improved parking spaces east of Harper Bridge.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
In 2019 the County improved Spring River Road, east of Harper Bridge, to include parallel
parking spaces and buffered bike lanes to improve safety associated with recreational access
to the Deschutes River. The parking was not intended to support overnight use, however
the area has the potential to attract overnight camping, as recently observed.
County code relating to the prohibition of overnight parking in County owned parking lots
does not apply to parking spaces within the right-of-way and no other county code or state
statute provides a measure in which to prohibit parking or cite offenders unless so ordered
by the Board.
Board Order 2021-042 provides the legal mechanism required to establish an overnight
parking prohibition, with associated penalties for violation.
BUDGET IMPACTS:
Less than $2,000 for additional signs to inform of the restriction.
ATTENDANCE:
Chris Doty, Road Department
