POG Manager Report 5/18-24
+ Served on presentation panel at Bay City regarding what it takes to start an urban renewal district. Joined Paul Wyntergreen and John O’Leary.
+ Attended Garibaldi Days and Tourism Committee Meeting. Pulling together details for family fishing tank. Will be using GVFD backup tank and ODFW will loan their aerating equipment.
+ Spent first part of week finalizing packet for special meeting including several conversations with our insurance company and attorney. Also discussed Replacement Costs with County Assessor and how those factor into Real Market Value. Tillamook County has an awesome Assessor’s office!
+ Attended Special Meeting and worked with Commission on a policy for the management of port property. Afterward drafted minutes, made changes to draft resolution and added provisions from insurance company and port’s attorney. Uploaded material to port’s website and distributed to affected parties.
+ Attended meeting at POTB with Dennie Houle, Dan Biggs, Michele Bradley and Colin Sears, from Business Oregon. Discussed business recruitment strategies. The biggest take away was obtaining contact info for a commercial property attorney to review the port’s model lease. Thought all property at the port is currently leased, we could have as much as 30,000 sf of subdividable flex building space to lease after the wharf is built. This space will clearly not fit the port’s “model” lease. In addition, the port could be looking at additional opportunity to lease our in-water space. Will be meeting with an attorney in June to review our model lease and view our property. I believe his assessment will prove valuable as the port proceeds with the reconstruction of Commercial Ave. Also forwarded contact info to OPPA for possible training session at our annual meeting.
+ Attended Port of Nehalem budget committee meeting (as private individual).
+ Took a course at TBCC on workplace harassment issues.
+ Visited Jacobsen Salt production facility on Netarts Bay. This is an excellent growth opportunity for the county and I think Garibaldi still has some potential for future expansion for their company.
+ Meeting with Michael Schroeder, ODOT, to receive funding sign to place on Commercial Ave. Also gave tour of project site and he walked me through the funding paperwork. Still need to get final legal descriptions finalized for two of the lots. HHPR is finishing that work next week.
+ Only guy in the office Friday afternoon and helped a number of folks get settled in for the three day weekend. When Tabitha and Jessi are gone and I get the opportunity to work the front desk, it makes me appreciate everything they do for the port that much more!
+ Followed up with JLT about getting a quote to install pavers between Charter building and Doug Creasy’s building. Doug is willing to chip in to upgrade the spot on US101 below the port’s gateway sign.
+ Finalized rezone application to the City and Blair Smith paid the fee. Public notice will appear in next Wednesday’s paper.
+ Received updated cost benefit analysis for our TIGER grant application. Reviewed materials with Todd Chase. Will finalize next week and send off by June 3rd.
+ Port/city conducted water test at RV park. It appears that we’re losing 188 gallons/hour which when extended out could be costing the port $17k annually. Coincidentally, that more than the annual debt service on $150k which would fully upgrade the RV park and utility lines. I did receive a loan application from Col-Pac that will be on my to do list. Also will be following up with HLTB Otak to get bid documents finalized.
+ Conducted peer review of OBDD grant application from the Port of Toledo for their upcoming business plan update.
+ Conducted quick survey of west coast ports on whether they require a deposit and/or background checks on potential new tenants. About 80% do require deposits and lesser number also do checks.
+ Answered questions from Larry McKinley/Mark Ellsworth regarding City’s Enhance application for Commercial Ave.
+ Asked to speak at Blessing of the Fleet.
+ Sent economic impacts from wharf project to Martin Callery, Port of Coos Bay. He’s testifying before the Joint Ways & Means Committee to discuss benefits of the ConnectOregon program. They are looking for jobs created and output data. Our project will retain/create 285 jobs and retain/create $50MM a year annually to the Oregon economy.
+ Facilitated tenant property lines issues. Consulted with Assessor’s Office and will be bringing a surveyor out to mark lines.
+ Received OK for $2MM in line of credit interim financing related to the wharf project from TLC. After getting word that that the Port won’t have to “front” the money.
+ Completed Oregon Freight Survey from ODOT as a requirement of our Connect Oregon grant.
+ Worked with city to solicit comment on Port/The Spot request for loading zone along Mooring Basin Rd.
+ OPPA Executive Committee voted to offer up a cost sharing plan for the statewide economic impact study. Port’s will need to contribute $38k toward the plan. Garibaldi’s portion will be $1250 and will have a Garibaldi specific portion that we can use on separate grant applications. Luckily, Todd Chase is the state’s contractor for the project and he’s very familiar with all of our projects. Should be a great tie-in.
