+ Took
Thursday and Friday off.
+ Read,
reviewed and supported OPPA letter of support for Ray and Peter (state business
dept. lobbyists) to advocate for the new WRDA bill that would open up the full
harbor maintenance trust fund. There’s still some question about to what degree
those additional funds would actually go to “low use” ports.
+ Received
from ODOT that they have received our request to co-sponsor our Commercial Ave.
road application. There’s only 15 applications state-wide. Tillamook County
also has a project (Three Capes Loop).
+ Received
word from Ken Valentine that they are coordinating with First American Title
with the updated legal descriptions and will be sending the request for
alternate contracting to EDA along with the Design/Build RFP.
+ Reserved
Community Hall for 8am meeting on May 22nd.
+ Conversation
with Comm. Barnett regarding Comp Time tracking and means testing.
+ Continued
making edits on tourism brochure with Kathleen Newton. Also met with GTC which
resulted in some other changes.
+ Conversation
with Kent Snyder, Sr. Scientist, about review of permitting related to federal
road grants.
+ Guys
finished up sidewalk work on US101. Took pictures for files for proof to SDAO
of work completion.
+ Request
by Maintenance Manager to review enforceability of RV Park rules. Will discuss
at next week’s staff meeting.
+ Conversation
with Tom Kent regarding boat issues in the harbor. Suzy Q was removed from the
harbor which will open up a spot after upgrades.
+ Assisted
Maintenance Manager on Windows 8 patch which makes it act like Windows 7.
+ Read
and reviewed OBDD state-wide economic impact study. I’m supportive of this
effort as it will help OBDD Port Division make the case about what ports
provide the state as far as impact. It will also produce a smaller, pull-out
section on POG’s economic impacts which will make a nice companion piece to our
visioning effort. The state is looking for some local financial contribution,
probably in the $1500 range, which I think is a fair value.
+ Received
information back from Collin Stelzig on a cost for going out to bid on the RV
park project, but need to follow up on details.
+ Talked
to DSL about when we need to renew our wharf project permit. We’ll get a
renewal letter (with invoice) around July 1st. Permit expires
October 17th.
+ Began
researching possible loans for the RV park remodel.
+ Attended
Port Commission meeting.
