For instance, the <br />Tualatin Hills Parks and Recreation District provides all parks and recreation services within the City of <br />Beaverton. Closer to home, the Willamalane Parks and Recreation District provides similar service to the <br />City of Springfield. Both these districts serve areas larger than just these cities, however, and current <br />State statute does not allow for special districts to operate within fully incorporated city territory if the city <br />and the district provide the same service. <br />34 <br />River Road/Santa Clara Transition/Heritage White Paper <br />DRAFT <br />11-24-05 <br /> <br />Service provider Review <br /> <br />
