POG Manager Report 5/4-10


+          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.
