and also from Washington DC with the agency’s lobbying firm.
+ Filed
monthly ConnectOregon report.
+ Conference

Valentine. Discussed issues related to grant, bid docs and next steps.

spraying requested. Guys have been doing a great job getting prepped for summer.
Painting/striping should happen in next week or two.
+ Concrete
poured in front of Garibaldi Charters to repair sidewalk.
+ Continue
to field complaints for “kid” behavior at RV park. Staff is compiling record of
+ Call
into sheriff’s office to obtain call report to port property (especially the RV
park). Hoping to have a report to share with commission for their port meeting.
+ Conversation
with Mr. Loster in G-14 about possibly switching him into G-13. Brian Trusty
would like to rent G-14 to try out his larvae barge. Will require Port action
to allow commercial barge use on guest dock.
+ Staff
has ID’d certain trailers that we don’t coming to the RV park. This will be a
helpful list to avoid future problems.
+ Looked
into obtaining port-specific work clothes for maintenance staff. Should be a
good improvement next fiscal year with the new work truck.
+ Received
request from maintenance manager to review ordinances/rules. Will follow up
with Dave to see if there are specific issues or if he’s looking for an overall
review.
+ Call

Blessing of the Fleet ceremony scheduled for later this month. Lorraine has had
surgery and will be looking for some assistance. She also asked if a Port Commissioner

and supported new OSMB abandoned boat bill. Should be a better and easier way
to get rid of derelict boats in our marina. The bill will also be looking to
increase grants to marina operators to aide in boat removal.
+ Submitted
TIGER pre-application to ODOT for their consideration as a state-wide priority
project. Also began updating new TIGER application based upon new information.
Deadline for application is June 3rd.
+ Reviewed
and edited article on wharf for city newsletter.
+ Several
phone calls about developing an abstract or preliminary permitting report
following federal highway NEPA standards. Every federal agency (and even
departments within the same administration) has different NEPA requirements.
Hence, the work done with the USACE, DSL and EDA may not be applicable to
federal highway (FHWA) standards. As we shop the road portion of the wharf
project, it may help our application to have this abstract prepared. I talked
to a permitting scientist and our ODOT planner about trying to scope such an
abstract that could set our application aside from others.
+ Shared
vision scope of work with DLCD and OBDD to receive opinion with the intent of
requesting grant funds to help with the project.

closed its doors. Have received hundreds of updated email addresses.

lease agreement. Sent letter back to her on Monday.
+ With
Jessi’s help, negotiated the sale of the Suzy Q contingent on the boat being
removed from the harbor. Boat was removed on Friday that should allow upgrades
and some movement on the waiting list. This is great news as this could have
cost us a few thousand dollars.
+ Talked
to Rodney Breazile about his inability to attend budget committee meeting.
Offered to meet with him to go over budget. He had something come up and
couldn’t make it.
+ Call
