POG Manager Report 4/13-19
+ Staff
Meeting held on Tuesday.
+ Lunch
appointment with Commissioner Luquette.
+ Meeting
with ODOT and City to discuss Enhance application for Commercial Ave. Included
a discussion requiring the city/port to include a bioswale on the wharf to
separate storm water. This could trigger a NEPA review and add costs to the
project. Will continue to monitor.
+ Attended
POTB open house.
+ Received
pictures for walking map and forwarded to Joe Happ. Spent quite a bit of time
discussing, reviewing and editing the walking map for Garibaldi as part of the
Tourism Commission work product. Trying to get something printed by summer that
can be used to direct people to sites around Garibaldi.
+ Several
conversations with Ken Valentine, Mary McArthur, Stand Good and others
regarding the bid process for the wharf. Developing a scope of work for the
grant management portion of the project which is separate from the construction
management and the design/build contracts. The grant management may be part of
the construction management but the scope and responsibilities need to be
clearly identified. Relocation expenses were zeroed out but inquired about
adding some line item back for moving tenants around.
+ Reviewed
OPPA legislative weekly summary from Salem.
+ Spent
some time updating contact information with Oregoncoast (theWave) going out of
business.
+ Scheduled
appointments with Betsy Johnson and Deb Boone during the Port’s Day in Salem on
April 30th.
+ Received
insurance renewals from SDAO and updated budget numbers.
+ Lobbied
OBDD to include discussions with DLCD to add a land use analysis on estuary
development trends. OBDD is issuing a bid to determine a state wide economic
impact analysis on port’s contributions to the state economy. DLCD is also
undertaking a study to identify trends in estuary development zones. There
should be some connectivity between both studies. OBDD also hasn’t clearly
identified that there is a component in the EIA that will benefit individual
ports and I’ve tried to ask them to more clearly identify what we can use here
locally. There will be a cost sharing portion to ports; probably less than $2k
for POG.
+ Working
with staff to remove (three) boats. Phone calls and notices to try and limit
the port’s costs. I think we may be able to sell the Suzy Q for $1 with the
caveat that it be removed from Garibaldi. This is good news and should open up
annual moorage for the waiting list.
+ Had
some issues with our marina management software that may result in having to
purchase new software ($5k). Comm. Luquette was nice enough to zap my old
laptop and install the old marina software which should allow staff to issue
billings this week. After several calls around the west coast, staff is
developing a proposal to the Port Commission for buying new software. Thanks
for John for helping with the technical side of things.
+ As
member of OBDD peer review committee, reviewed Coos Bay Tug Study and reported
back to Dave Harlan.
+ Ordered
and received Garibaldi Days t-shirts for consignment here in the office.
+ Several
emails with insurance company, attorney regarding Garibaldi Charters lease.
Sargent has been out of town, but will be developing a legal opinion on issues
related to increasing the port’s liability on leases.
+ Researched
impacts on donating boat launches for fundraising events. Information will work
its way into a staff report for commission discussion. Aside from loss of
potential revenue, the port would be well advised to pre-print passes that we
can monitor and issue.
+ Continued
fighting between our insurance provider and a boat owner’s insurance provider
regarding speed of winds during last November’s weather event.
+ Discussion
with Bill Sargent and SDAO regarding public information request for elected
official contact information. Phone numbers, addresses are all public
information unless an elected official writes a letter stating that the release
of such information would compromise the official’s safety.
+ Did a
quick analysis on the RV’s park water/sewer usage. In the last year almost
2.8MM gallons of water was used at a cost of $8,900 to the port. The sewer bill
was almost $13,000 during the same year. The sewer bill is definitely connected
to the water consumption (albeit a year delay).
+ Provided
follow up information to prospective interim financial organizations.
