POG Manager Report 6/1-7
+ Attended
last Garibaldi Days/Tourism Commission meeting. Regrettably resigned due
numerous port projects that will be taking up most of my time. It’s been a
great three-year run and I appreciate Mayor McCarthy appointing me chair back
in 2010.
+ Took
3 hours of personal time off on Tuesday to attend family function in Vancouver,
Wash.
+ Met
with Jeff Bennett, Jordan Ramis, to discuss landlord/tenant relations at the
Port. He’ll be sending additional information to share with the Port Commission
regarding how the Port might want to consider leasing buildings with shared
walls on the new wharf.
+ Helped
staff with commission report on the purchase of network printer/copier. Touched
base with Bill Sargent on contracting details. Also began marketing the old
machine on various social network sites and Tillamook Shopper, etc. Hoping to
get $900 for it. Staff thinks I’m dreaming!
+ NOHA
board meeting in Warrenton.
+ Lunch
meeting with Hank Bynaker, CEO Port of Astoria.
+ Invited
Joel Stevens to July board meeting to “swear in” elected commissioners.
+ Responded
to Rep. Boone regarding Garibaldi’s dredging needs being left out of HB2345.
The Port of Garibaldi is very supportive of the needs of the South Oregon Coast
Ports’ dredging needs, though Garibaldi was also part of the funding package
until just last week. Also followed up with Mark Landauer and OBDD. The Port
doesn’t want to seem unappreciative or unsupportive of our fellow ports, but
it’s important that we continue to show the value of dredging to our local
economy.
+ Dave
and the guys completed the fish hanger by the cleaning station and we’ve
already received photos of fishermen taking pics of their efforts. Photos are
also starting to appear on the Port’s Facebook site, too.
+ Received
a draft letter from EDA on the Port’s desire to pursue a Design/Build contract
for the wharf project. The port’s position is that the contracting method could
be the most cost effective, allowing for more of the project to be completed
more quickly. Ken Valentine has some options that he will be sharing with the
Port Commission at their meeting on the 10th.
+ Reviewed
new process for submitting DSL/USACE joint fill/removal permits. Looks like a
huge improvement.
+ Followed
up with Boat Wash equipment manufacturer to get final utility access so he can
finish design plan.
+ Conversation
with Bud Hosner, Big Tuna, on their hosting a Coast Guard appreciation dinner
on Saturday. I complimented them on the new Quonset hut paint job. The Port of
Garibaldi has also been listed as a sponsor on their marketing related to the
Oregon Tuna Class.
+ Looking
to schedule some commissioner training this summer with POTB. Our IGA with the
state requires that “new” commissioners attend governance training.
Commissioner Daniels is the only one required to attend, but it might be a good
refresher for others, too.
+ Spent
Friday morning visiting with Irish’s Mooring, Commissioners Folkema, Barnett,
Luquette.
+ Had a
final flurry of edits in regards to the Port’s property management resolution.
Hope to have some agreement by next Wednesday.
+ Received
a price quote from the Local Government Policy Institute to fully review our
Personnel Manual. It was a pretty heavy cost: $2k, but we might want to
consider it. LGPI provides human resource assistance to small, local
governments. They are a well-respected group that is membership driven.
+ Answered
OPPA membership survey from another port regarding how port’s generally fund
capital improvements. I mentioned that we set aside our timber sales for that
purpose but that we have a lot more capital needs than we have funding for.
+ Received
word that our apartment tenant will be leaving, so we’ll be looking to do a
check out and some improvements before marketing the space.
+ Follow
up questions with the auditor.
+ Several
email exchanges with assessor’s office regarding legal description, tax lots
and building dates at Fisherman’s Korner.
+ Finalized
surveys and Lot Book reports from HHPR required as part of our EDA project.
+ Coastal
Caucus Economic Summit scheduled for August 20-21 at Chinook Winds in Lincoln
City.
+ Read
and reviewed financial documents for May. Included staff report for board
packet.
+ Port
crew helped city for a couple of hours on a city project.
+ Follow
up with Mike Hackbart, on Rodney Gum claim from last summer.
+ Stan
Good, EDA, sent some samples of a Phased disbursement request. If the Port goes
Design Bid Build, we’ll need to amend our contract with EDA so that they can
help fund the full engineering portion of the wharf project. That will be a top
priority next week.
+ Paid
Bayside Surveying to write new Willamette Meridian legal descriptions for
Fisherman’s Korner and Barnett leaseholds and to mark corners.
+ Stan
Good from EDA will be visiting the Port on June 18th at 9am. Ken
Valentine will hopefully be joining us as well.
+ Received
requested insurance certificate from tenant completing file.
