POG Manager Report 4/6-12

POG Manager Report 4/6-12

+          Meeting with Rob Trost, Doug Rosenburg, and John O’Leary regarding Old Mill marina rehabilitation and potential for some kind of partnership with the marina expansion.

+          Attended North Coast Planners Meeting at TBCC discussing various planning efforts.

+          Attended and participated in Port Commission meeting.

+          Took personal time late Thursday for Drs. Apt.

+          Had coffee at Irish’s Mooring Friday morning and listed to various issues effecting people at the Port. Talked to Gene Tish who was distributing Garibaldi Days t-shirts. Port will take ten on consignment.

+          Talked to Todd Chase and Scott Keillor about helping with a new TIGERV grant for balance of wharf project.

+          Asked Keillor to help prepare a scope of work for SBP vision process. Hope to have something for next board meeting.

+          Follow up with DEQ on the 900-J noticing issue from last year. They’re still working on it.

+          Talked to G Dock moorage holders about possibly moving to assist with a larvae production opportunity. Haven’t heard back yet.

+          Met with Gary Nothstein to talk about OG building. Not much movement here as they’ve had him in California.

+          Updated L-3 lease paperwork and sent to assessor’s office.

+          Discussions with Jessi about cash balance availability for a general fund loan to either the Enterprise Fund or Capital Projects Fund for next year projects. There’s about $200k available for either interim financing related to the wharf project or for making improvements to the RV park. Either way the other funds would eventually pay interest and pay the general fund back.

+          Still have $9700 in available port planning grants on our wharf bid docs.

+          Received new workers comp rates from Hudson Insurance and worked them into our budget.

+          Conversation with Glen Kearns about audit/budget implications with new federal funds and the possibility of an interagency loan. After tax season, he’ll prepare a financial analysis of a loan. He also suggested that the Port create a Capital Projects Fund for the wharf project. It will require a single audit which is more expensive but those costs can be paid by the wharf fund.

+          Took pictures, found pictures forwarded to Joe Happ for creation of a walking map. Several email exchanges to begin development of the map before summer.

+          Scheduled ODOT meeting with city and Ken Valentine to talk about the city’s $300k enhance grant.

+          Worked with Dave Olson to get quotes for repairs to Garibaldi Charter building. Might want to put in brick pavers instead of river rock next to the fixed sidewalk as well.

+          Continued to work on budget message and financials. Conversation with Assessor’s Office on tax related issues for budget.

+          Lots of emails regarding the federal budget process. Low use ports in Oregon continued to get “zeroed” out.

+          Picnic tables arrived. Guys are staining them and have already put one out on the TEP fishing dock. Looks great! They’ll be putting one of the rules sign from piers end on this pier.

+          Received emails and letters regarding Garibaldi Charter lease. Spent most of Friday drafting a staff report for port attorney’s review.

+          Received and read OPPA legislative update on bill status in Salem.

+          Exchange with David Ulbricht, Baird Finance, regarding a lead on interim financing.

+          Considerable follow-up with EDA Seattle District. Forwarded contract documents to Ken Valentine and Mary McArthur. Mary (via NOEA) will help us prepare a scope of work for the grant management portion of the project.

+          Coordinating scope of work for the shower building in RV park between architect and engineer.

+          Conducted administrative research on leasehold parking and public parking. Fisherman’s Korner and Garibaldi Cannery clearly have parking on their leasehold. Trollers is a little different. About 80 percent of the parking space is in the public right of way (outside leasehold). The front of the space – and perhaps more importantly – the sign that says restricted for Troller customers, is clearly on their leasehold. Staff ordered signs for Biak Ave. and should get the one-hour parking signs up next week some time.

+          Will attend port’s day at the capitol on Tuesday, April 30^th. Plan on taking POG booth and local treats for sharing and will touch base with Boone/Johnson.

+          Followed up with Paul Daniels on highway signs on US101. Left message with Jeff Buchanan, ODOT sign planner, about coordinating signage approaching Garibaldi from 101.

+          Signed eviction notice for RV tenant.
