POG Manager Report 3/30-4/5
+ Attended
NOHA Meeting in Warrenton.
+ Meeting
with Collin Stelzig, HLB/OTAK, to discuss changes on the preliminary
engineering on the RV park. Need to finalize footprint size for bathroom
building.
+ Meeting
with Hank Bynaker, Port of Astoria, to discuss regional issues.
+ Met
with Matt Spangler, DLCD Coastal Zone Mgr, to discuss issues related to state
review of estuary zoning goals.
+ Meeting
with Kate Groth/Mike Ott, USACE; Amber Johnson, ODFW; Mike Saindon, USCG.
Annual Corps visit to discuss dredging, jetty needs. The Port may need to keep
the upland disposal sites as the Corps fears there may be eel grass growing in
the federal channel. There’s no proof yet, but they’re looking into a one-time
mitigation opportunity related to their in-stream disposal permit.
+ Attended
Tourism Commission meeting. Agreed to take the lead on developing a walking
trail map. Looking to incorporate feedback from a tenants get together two
weeks ago. Hope to have something on the street by summer.
+ Completed
and submitted monthly annual report for Connect Oregon grant.
+ Met
with K. Barnett and S. Dana regarding purchase of business interest in Lease 3.
Consulted with Kari Fleisher at Assessor’s Office to confirm building/land
values. Wrote and sent letter to Barnett reviewing what would be needed to
develop a new lease. Research business listing on Oregon Secy of State site and
edited new lease for Commission consideration.
+ Correspondence
with Rockaway Chamber about promoting Lake Lytle on Port’s website. They’ve
offered the Port a link on their site as well.
+ Spent
Monday working for about an hour on surveillance equipment proposals. Made a
few phone calls to confirm equipment specs.
+ Follow
up with Nina DiConcini, DEQ, on where the agency is at in noticing landowners
when various discharge permits are about to expire. The permit is stuck with
the property, but only the tenant is noticed, not the landlord. This has severe
implications in land valuation is these permits are allowed to expire without
proper notice. It’s been over a year since we’ve inquired with no progress.
+ Trying
to find a spot on the transient dock for an upwelling unit (8’ x 20’) for
cultivating oyster larvae.
+ Several
conversations regarding interim financing with various banks and financing
groups.
+ Helped
Jessi with the final bits and pieces on the OSMB grant for the loading dock.
She did a great job pulling everything together. Crossing our fingers!
+ Pulled
some ideas together with a list of amenities/businesses to begin developing the
walking map of Garibaldi. Several email exchanges with Kathleen Newton on the
project. Map to be funded with city TRT funds via the tourism commission. Great
collaborative effort between the port and city.
+ Ports
Day at the Capitol scheduled for April 30th.
+ Found
error, made change and re-approved ad design for county-wide tour/road map to
be distributed around the state.
+ Conversation
with SDAO insurance rep. Received and updated tentative health care, insurance
costs for developing annual compensation plan resolution. Health insurance is
going up 16%!
+ Received
inspection report on the Garibaldi Charters building. Reviewed with David Olson
and he’s getting cost estimates for repairs to the building (roof, etc.). Will
be calling new tenants to begin negotiations. It made be difficult to make
repairs this fiscal year.
+ Received
plot plan from Blair Smith and go-ahead on applying for the zone change for the
boat wash facility.
+ Worked
with staff to generate a report for the Port Commission on tenant parking at
the port. None of the port leases authorize tenant-specific parking outside the
lease boundaries, though there are plenty of time-limited signs around the
port. Issue will be on Wednesday’s agenda.
+ Met
with Irish’s Mooring to discuss details of their lease addendum. Looking to
extend to 20 years. Also on meeting agenda.
+ OG
requested a change to monthly lease payments, but I’m reluctant to amend their
lease at this time until they can show a year of regular commercial activity.
+ Invited
to meeting with Old Mill and City about their interest in rebuilding their
marina on Miami Cove.
+ Conversation
with EDA on next steps. Should be getting formal contract agreement next week.
Ken Valentine is beginning to work on the bid documents for EDA review for both
the DB contract and Construction Management contract.
+ Conversation
with Scott Keillor to have him develop an RFP for the vision plan. It would
include (1) identifying where different uses can occur, (2) design criteria
development, (3) meeting terms of DLCD grant agreement, (4) review of SBP
goals, and (5) land use compatibility analysis for the desired uses.
+ Reviewed
monthly financial documents and prepared staff report summarizing activity for
