POG Manager Report 12/28-1/3


POG Manager Report 12/28-1/3
+          Worked on Board Packet for next Wednesday’s meeting.
+          Talked to interim manager candidates. Received information and prepared packet for Commission.
+          Reviewed Safety Manuals prepared by Maintenance Supervisor. He did a great job pulling policies from neighboring governments and under advisement from Special Districts.
+          Follow up with Jack Scovell and Peter Bambe to prepare plans for RV park building. Awaiting their SOW and contracts.
+          Lunch appointment with Val Folkema to discuss interim manager ideas and recruitment options.
+          Month end wharf grant reports submitted by grants administrator.
+          Participated in Special Meeting with Commission to discuss options for the Port’s manager recruitment process.
+          Worked half day on New Year’s Eve and Port Office was closed on the 1st for the holiday.
+          Received maps from BergerABAM to finalize vision concepts with Commission. Should schedule a workshop third week of January.
+          Finished MD&A and final edits for the financial reports in Port’s audit.
+          Worked with Port’s attorney to craft a temporary personnel agreement for interim manager.
+          Received and reviewed Hatch Mott Weekly Report on wharf progress and shared with Commission.
+          Met with Gary Cox, Diana Walker and Mike Puckett to discuss a drone filming of the wharf work in the next few weeks. Idea is to fly Gary’s drone with a GoPro and get a visual survey of the wharf project. Discussed safety issues and “no fly” areas.
+          Met with Diana, Dave Olson, Blake Lettenmaier and Paul Daniels to discuss design criteria for 5-ton wharf crane. I appreciate Commission Daniels’ input on the crane; as a retired commercial fisherman he brings great knowledge about what actually will work.
+          Received letter of support from City of Rockaway Beach and Barview Watseco Neighborhood Association for Jetty advocacy.
+          Talked to OBDD about finalizing our planning grant final report. Need to study a discrepancy on the last reimbursement request.
+          Signed off on EDA reimbursement request for $440k on wharf work.
+          Working to create an immediate back up plan for the file server with Tech4 Computers.
+          Reviewed several submittals from wharf CMs.
+          Began making reservations for Port officials to the SDAO conference in Seaside. SDAO Conference … https://www.sdao.com/ac
+         Ken Valentine, HHPR, is back from his month-long sabbatical and we had a good conversation about finalizing the TIGER grant contract. The Port will sign a small contract to have HHPR finalize the scope, budget and timeline including potential alternates as part of the project. It will be great to get this signed before the end of January.
+         Also need to coordinate with Mary McArthur and US-DOT about the best process for selecting our engineer. We’d like to use HHPR (since they’ve done 30% design) but we may need to re-issue an RFQ to meet federal contracting standards. This issue needs to be ironed out with the feds before we proceed.
+         Talked to mill about their expansion needs and reaffirmed that the Vision Plan will include an option for them.
+         Reviewed Col-Pac/NOEA/NWACT meeting packets for next week.
+
