Another delay for crabbing season Staff Report
T
he opening of the commercial Dungeness crab season along the entire Oregon coast now is delayed until at least Dec. 31, following testing that shows crabs are still too low in meat yield in half of the designated areas along the coast. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife had announced Nov. 14 that the season would be delayed until Dec. 16 because of the low meat yield. That delay has been extended. The ocean commercial Dungeness crab season in Oregon as a rule is tar-
geted to open Dec. 1, but can be delayed to ensure a high-quality product for consumers and to avoid wasting the catch. Crab quality testing in late November and early December showed that many areas within the tri-state region still did not meet the criteria for opening the season. The delayed opening will allow for crabs to fill with more meat, said state officials. Testing will continue, to determine if the season can open Dec. 31, be further delayed, or be split into separate areas with different opening dates. In conjunction with the delayed ocean commercial season, the commercial
harvest of Dungeness crab in Oregon bays is now closed for the remainder of the year. Commercial Dungeness crab is Oregon’s most valuable fishery. Last year’s delayed opening still brought in the second-highest ex-vessel value ever, at $66.7 million, with 18.7 million pounds landed, just above the 10-year average. Meantime, recreational crab harvesting is open coastwide in the ocean, bays and estuaries, and on beaches, docks, piers and jetties. Recreational crabbers are encouraged call the shellfish hotline at 800448-2474 for closures before crabbing.

asquet resident Mike Cuthbertson is among an international clientele looking for an out-of-theordinary camping experience. About a decade ago, he learned of the opportunity to stay at a restored fire lookout atop Bear Basin Butte. Its isolation and lack of amenities - running water, power - might scare off the typical weekend camper. Indeed, the U.S. Forest Service recommends getting there by four-wheel-drive vehicle. It’s about 21 miles as the crow flies from the Smith River National Recreation Area Visitor Center in Gasquet … although it takes more than 2 and a half hours to get there through winding, old-growth forest roads with numerous long, washed-out sections. For Cuthbertson, however, the payoff is worth the effort. “It has a fantastic view. It’s a magical place, up there,” he said.
Bear Basin Butte is a two-for-one rental. The site comes with a cabin that sleeps about eight, and a lookout with a 360-degree view of endless, beautiful wilderness. Cuthbertson said the cabin comes with an outhouse, a barMore Mountain on Page A4

ormer Oregon Secretary of State Bill Bradbury kicked off a panel discussion Saturday about an offshore wind energy proposal that could bring 4,330 sustainable operations and maintenance jobs, 13,620 construction jobs, and thousands of service jobs to the south coast. “It is a remarkable opportunity for all of us,” Bradbury said. The forum, organized by Curry County Commissioner Court Boice, was held at Southwest Oregon Community College in Brookings. Factors such as technology, wind resource and market conditions point to the viability of the proposal, said officials. Technology Dennis Beetham, CEO of DB Western Inc., said he already had developed the engineering systems and found investors who are willing to create those jobs, which would consist of assembling and maintaining offshore floating wind turbines out of either Coos Bay or Humboldt Bay, and placing them off
the Oregon and northern California coast. The wind turbine parts would be shipped to the port, assembled and towed out to sea. Because of the depth of the Pacific Ocean and the existence of earthquake faults, the turbines would need be placed on submerged floating barges. Beetham said DB Western could manufacture 300 megawatts of generating capacity within five years, after a 10-MW demonstration project is evaluated. Precedent has already been set overseas, where 20,000 offshore wind turbines are operating off western Europe, compared to five in the U.S., on the East Coast on fixed, not floating, bases. Resource The National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) has determined that a region that extends from Coos Bay to the north and Eureka to the south is a “superb” wind resource for offshore wind generation. Wind speeds are measured at greater than 10 meters per second (m/s), or 22.4 miles per hour, for the More Wind on Page A5

hristmas-lighted cars, floats - even horses - are set to brighten up the night and bring good tidings to all Dec. 14 in Brookings. The Coastal Christmas Light Parade and Santa Party will begin at 5:15 p.m., with Santa leading the colorful parade as he rides in a Brookings Fire Department truck. The parade lineup starts at 4:30 p.m. at Azalea Middle School and proceeds down Oak Street to Railroad Avenue, then to Mill Street, finishing at Oasis Park, where Santa will chat with kids and share hot chocolate, apple cider and cookies with those in attendance. “We get about 300 people

at the party,” said Kathy Breshears, the parade’s organizer. “More people come out just to watch the parade.” Last year, more than 20 entrees participated. “It’s small, but it grows by a couple each year,” Breshears said. People come from as far away as Crescent City to participate in the parade. Parade prizes are awarded at the party. Judging for the parade will be in front of KURY Radio on Railroad Avenue, by the radio station’s disc jockeys. Anyone can enter the parade. Entries are eligible to win donated prizes from Redwood Massage, Ironside Fitness, Fat Cats Pizza, Wild River Pizza, Dairy Queen, and more to come. The event is free, although the group does accept

donations to help offset next year’s expenses. The biggest cost is insurance: $300 for one night, said Breshears. Including the refreshments, total costs are approximately $500. The group held a garage sale to help cover the costs for this year. The organization began as volunteers decorating the entire town more than 20 years ago, and created the parade to go along with the decorations. This year, the decor was handed over to Nature’s Coastal Holiday, allowing organizers to concentrate on parade logistics and the Santa party.

Linda Pinkham Staff Writer Coastline Neighbors threw a holiday reception Dec. 4 to present gifts valued at more than $1,100 for Court Appointed Special Advocates of Curry County (CASA) to give to local foster families and kids. The child welfare department in Curry County will give out 38 baskets from CASA on Dec. 13 at an annual party for foster children and foster parents, according to Mona Chandler, the CASA program director. “No other programs in child welfare do this,” she said. Santa comes to the party and hands out gifts to the children. Then the baskets are given to the foster parents.
“The looks on their faces show gratitude, just knowing that they are being acknowledged for the work they are doing, because the work they are doing is very difficult,” Chandler said. “Acknowledging them and what they are doing is amazing. I don’t know if I could do it or not. But I can be there and give them a voice and report to the judge and make sure those kids are being heard.” The list of gifts was announced to the tune of the “Twelve Days of Christmas” by Coastlines president Lindy McClean, “We’re giving free movie passes, gift cards for hot coffee, mini-pizza coupons, tickets to the light show, sandwiches to order, games for everyone to play … hot chocolate, cookies in a box, a book of this and that, and a
wish for a happy New Year.” Approximately 50 people attended the reception. Nearly everyone raised their hands when Coastline volunteer Pattie Slagle asked if they were volunteers for Coastline, and again when asked if they volunteer for other organizations. In defining Coastline Neighbors’ vision, “We want to be in the community and be part of the community,” Slagle said. “We provide services to people in the community and we need support of people in the community. At the same time, we want to give back to the community.” That’s how the group decided to partner with CASA to give something to families that give back to their community. “I had no idea the level of volunteerism you guys hold in your group.” Chandler
said. “I’ve been doing this job for about 12 years now, and every year I am struggling to find funding to give back to the foster parents in our community. When Lindy contacted me and asked if we had a project, I said, ‘Oh, yes, there is a project I need help with.’ It’s very much appreciated and I am humbled.” Meanwhile, volunteers began passing out boxes of cookies, along with the icing and decorations, so volunteers attending the reception could frost and decorate the cookies that would be handed out to foster families. The local organization’s goal is to help people stay independent and live in their own homes for as long as possible. The network of members and volunteers are helping one another by volunteering to do the little things that make a difference.
Coastline volunteers decorated about 250 cookies during a holiday reception that resulted in $1,100 in gifts for CASA to give to foster families.

City issues order to boil water City of Brookings officials said the city was experiencing a loss of water pressure because of a water pump failure in the upper Dodge Avenue area near Parkview Drive. According to a press release, the incident was affecting about a dozen residents from addresses 97516 to 97170 on Dodge Avenue. As a result, a boil-water order had been implemented for residents in that area, as a guard against possibly contaminated drinking water, including tap water. The city advised the residents to bring all water to a rolling

boil for one minute, then let cool before using. Officials said to use boiled or purchased bottled water for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and preparing food. The Brookings Public Works Department said it was working to repair the problem and that water testing would be conducted, perhaps until Wednesday. Residents will be notified when the boil water order is no longer necessary, said the department. For more information, call Tony Baron at 541-469-1159.

The spirit of the holiday is alive and well in Brookings this week. Organizers of the annual Nature’s Coastal Holiday of Lights have erected a display of inflatable holiday characters along U.S. Highway 101 in front of the Goodwill store. The display is a bonus provided by the organizers who, helped by volunteers, have strung about 2 million LED lights at Azalea and Bachus parks as the primary Festival of Lights attraction. The following is a conversation with Festival of Lights representative Leslie Wilkinson: The Pilot: There are a variety of the blowup character decorations placed in that area of U.S. Highway 101. Why? Leslie Wilkinson: This summer, we received a phone call from Harbrooks Jewelers offering us several inflatables as a donation. We were excited about the offer, but we could not use them in Azalea Park. We have a policy of only wire, fully lighted displays for the park. Partly, due to safety guidewires are difficult to avoid tripping over for our staff and, secondly, deflated decorations are a bear to inflate once wet. At the same time Harbrooks contacted us, the Christmas Elves gave the City of Brookings notice that they wanted to step back from decorating downtown. So, magically, the inflatables had a home! The Pilot: Give us the range of characters and tell us why those specific characters where selected.
Wilkinson: Variety? Why not! The more diverse and fun, the more excitement and laughter! Here’s a short list: • Princess Elsa and Olaf • Pirate Ship • Polar Express • Hula Santa • Fishing Santa • Dinosaur with Elves • Snowman • Penguins • Santa’s House • Sleigh and reindeer The Pilot: What has been the reaction from people seeing these characters?

Old Camp Six, a peak about one mile east. That building sat atop a 30-foot, open-timber tower. It served for many years, until decommissioned as a lookout due to aircraft and increased numbers of forest visitors reporting fires. In 1991, Camp Six Lookout became eligible for the National Register of Historic Places for its range of history and design qualities. Linda Serret, acting district ranger of the Six Rivers National Forest and Smith River National Recreation Area, said she’s happy the lookout was not lost to changing times. “I think it is amazing that this historic structure was saved from demolition and repurposed to keep history alive, and allow the public to experience it rather that see pictures of what used to be in some history book,” Serret said. “Our archeologist provided me some information on that fact that it was a member of the public that was the impetus for saving the structure and who proposed the idea to the Forest Service,” she added. Inspired by his stay at Robbs Peak Lookout in California’s Eldorado National Forest, Bill Pierson, of
Pierson Building Center in Eureka, proposed partnering with the Six Rivers National Forest to provide a “peak experience” for residents and visitors to California’s north coast. After scouting several possible locations, Bear Basin Butte was chosen. That’s when the idea was hatched to relocate the beleaguered Camp Six lookout. “I think this is evidence that great ideas and success come when we work together,” Serret said. No longer eligible for the National Register of Historic Places because it had suffered significant vandalism, the lookout was carefully disassembled and moved to Gasquet. The following year, it was reassembled at Bear Basin Butte and refurbished, retaining as much of the original fabric as possible. Special footings were drilled deep into the rock to securely anchor the lookout to its new location. The Pierson group, in keeping with the CCC-era lookout, modified a 1935 Forest Service standard plan for a combination garage/ toolshed and constructed what has since been dubbed “Pierson Cabin.” The cabin and lookout
were dedicated on Sept. 12, 1997, with public rentals starting in the 1998 season. The lookout sits perched on a rocky mountaintop within the Bear Basin Butte Botanical Area on the edge of the Siskiyou Wilderness, with vistas of the rugged Siskiyous to the east, the Kalmiopsis Wilderness to the north, the South Fork Smith River watershed to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. The Smith River National Recreation Area has more than 75 miles of hiking trails, several of which take hikers to many additional miles of wilderness trails. The Doe Flat Trailhead is only 3 miles from the lookout. The trail provides access to Buck Lake, the Devil’s Punchbowl and the Clear Creek Recreational trail in the Siskiyou Wilderness. Hiking through the wilderness comes with access to wildlife. The Smith River National Recreation Area is home to more than 300 resident wildlife species, including black bear, coyote, gray fox, deer, mountain lion, bobcat, mountain beaver, opossum and quail. From the lookout, visitors may spot a migrating bald eagle or a Pacific fisher, a
member of the weasel family. The cabin comes with checklists and books to help identify the sightings. Serret said Bear Basin Butte’s isolation, yet easy access to divergent terrains and ecosystems, are exactly what makes it popular with renters. That’s why booking dates are quickly filled six months in advance. The rental is available only from July 1 to Sept. 30 annually. “People from all over the country and the world will travel to see amazing places. I know, as I am one of them. The people who rent the lookout and cabin are not primarily local folks living in the area,” she said. Serret said to use recreation.gov to make a reservation as soon as they open on Jan. 1. “People in time zones ahead of us have an advantage. But people cancel, so checking recreation.gov often for cancellations may increase chances of securing a reservation,” Serret advised. That said, anyone trying to making a reservation will have to compete with Cuthbertson. “I’m going to try get there again this summer,” he said. “It was just too beautiful.”

DEAR ABBY Off -topic discussions cause patient to question therapist DEAR ABBY: I have been working through major anxiety issues with a therapist for the last few months. Sometimes he is very helpful; other times he goes off on tangents, talking about topics I don’t feel the need to discuss (and things that don’t necessarily pertain to me). I find it frustrating, and at times, it makes me angry (although I keep that to myself). How can I keep my therapist on track? Or, how can I break up with him without just ghosting him? -WANTS TO MAKE REAL CHANGES DEAR WANTS: As a patient, you are in a vulnerable position. Many times a patient will feel hesitant to tell a therapist that a line of conversation seems uncomfortable or irrelevant. However, because it is uncomfortable you should NOT let that stop you. Your therapist may explain to you why he is pursuing the issues. You can then accept or reject the explanation. If you continue to feel uncomfortable after that, you can “disengage” via a
By Abigail Van Buren letter or a phone call. Ghosting is the coward’s way out, and I don’t recommend it. DEAR ABBY: I don’t know how to refer to the man I love. We are both older and have been living together for years. Introducing him as my “boyfriend” makes me feel like a kid in a short-term relationship. I can’t use “husband” because we get our full benefits being single. (If we marry, we could lose half our income.) I tried “partner,” but people assumed I was speaking of a business partner or a same-sex partner. “Lover” comes across as an extramarital affair. There has to be another word for a couple who lives together for years, like in a marriage, but who cannot marry. -- UNCLASSIFIED IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR UNCLASSIFIED: You might refer to the gentleman as your honey, your sweetheart, your loved one or spouse -- or simply by his name. Most of the people with whom you are speaking probably know you live together, and if they are new acquaintances, there is no requirement that you explain
your marital or financial situation. DEAR ABBY: My husband wants a puppy. He is almost 75 and plays golf four days a week. I’m 70 and work four days a week. I also do lots of volunteer work, which I enjoy. I not only do not want the responsibility of a pet, but I also feel that a pet is a family member. It will need more attention than my husband has time to give, not to mention the time, effort and consistency needed to train a puppy. Our neighbor has a dog that my sweet hubby can play with every day if he wants to. Please help me. -- RETIRED PET LOVER IN LOUISIANA DEAR PET LOVER: If your sweet hubby feels the need to pet and cuddle a puppy, tell him he can do so at the local shelter. Then suggest that if he wants to adopt a dog, it should be an older one from a shelter or rescue group. If he does, you stand a better chance of winding up with a pet that is already trained and housebroken, and the responsibility for educating it won’t fall on your shoulders.

task, and advocating public involvement in the early stages to make it happen instead of waiting for people to become involved at what he called “the litigation stage.” It’s not all grim news. “California does have a system to pay for these facilities in a coherent way,” Henry said. Sam Schwarz, a renewable energy installer from Coos Bay, presented a sample resolution that he urges Coos and Curry counties to adopt. “Having unilateral support makes it much easier for the legislators and the PUC, or whoever is sitting in front of this request, when we say, ‘We want you to pay above-market costs (to get this going),’” Souza said. Current governance structures require the PUC to choose lower costs for consumers, instead of developing a resilient infrastructure that would raise costs for customers. Responses from the forum’s audience were positive about the potential, but also acknowledged the complexity and high costs associated with the project. In answer to an audience question about transmission line costs and how that process used to be part of a public-private partnership when the existing grid was built, Beetham had to acknowledge that’s not the case here. Bonneville Power would be willing to put in transmission lines but not to cover the costs, he said. “I don’t think it would be fair to tell the developer you’ve got to build our grid for us,” Beetham said.

out the infrastructure, the proposal can’t survive. In answer to a question about environmental concerns, additional study is needed, according to Henry. Bentham pointed out that San Francisco did much of the research already when undersea DC cables were placed in San Francisco Bay and studies were conducted for green sturgeon and salmon, which are indicator species. The audience comment that summarized the problem and drew applause came from Mark Heller, a retired wind energy consultant. “You’ve kind of hit the Achilles’ heel on this one,” he said. “Nothing is going to happen in this country until we have something that looks like the Marshall Plan that takes our entire energy system and redesigns it.” The Marshall Plan was a post-World War II American initiative that gave more than $12 billion in economic assistance to help rebuild Western European economies. Coastal Southern Oregon Climate Action Network (SOCAN) president Ed Patterson summed up the takeaway for most people attending the forum. “It’s hopeful … there are real solutions here. “There’re some real political problems, but it’s very complex, and I think it’s too complex for us average people to get our hands around. We need to trust other people to make the right decisions, with our input about our concerns. The Marshall Plan was the best thing I heard today.”
Tera Whats? Most people don’t think about the measurements of electricity other than paying the electric company each month for the kilowatt-hours they use. Presenters at the forum talked in terms of mega-, giga- and tera-watt hours. Here’s a primer on electrical units of measure to help grasp the magnitude of the energy discussion: A watt is the basic unit of power at a specific moment, such as a 15-watt LED lightbulb or a 1,000-watt microwave. kilowatt (kW) = 1,000 watts megawatt (MW) = 1,000 kilowatts gigawatt (GW) = 1,000 megawatts terawatt (TW) = 1,000 gigawatts So, what happens when you add the word “hour” after the unit of measurement? If you run a 1,000-watt microwave for an hour, you will use one kilowatt-hour (kWh) of energy. On the production side, a megawatt-hour (MWh) is the amount of electricity generated by a 1-MW production plant in an hour. A typical coal-fired power plant is about 600 MW. The newest nuclear reactor to come online in the U.S., in 2016, has a capacity of just over 1 GW, which is 1,000 times bigger than a MW. A terawatt (TW) is equal to one trillion watts, 1,000 times bigger than a GW. A terawatt-hour (TWh) is how much electricity would be produced if a 1-TW generator ran for one hour. The current U.S. electrical consumption is equal to 4,100 TWh per year, or the equivalent of 833 nuclear power plants with a capacity of 1 GW.

Market California passed legislation in 2018 (SB100) for electricity used in the state to be 100% carbon-free by the year 2045. Currently, California has achieved about 18% renewable energy production, compared to Oregon and Washington’s 50%. California is the fifthlargest economy in the country and has a long way to go to achieve a goal of 100% renewable production. In fact, said Beetham, the state can achieve 100% because land-use regulations and costs prevent the build-out of onshore wind and solar resources. California retail utility customers pay some of the highest prices per kilowatt hour (kWh) for electricity, at almost $0.19/kWh, compared to the U.S. average of $0.13/kWh and just under $0.09/kWh in Oregon. California needs to buy carbon-free electricity to meet its goals, and already is paying a premium price for energy. Beetham said he believes California utilities would be willing to help pay for renewable resources at lower prices. Fourteen companies in
The Challenges Everything looks like a winning proposition, except for one significant detail — infrastructure. Beetham said the current grid infrastructure will not support offshore wind energy, then offered two solutions: • A new grid on land to receive transmission cables from each offshore wind system deployment. • A sub-sea, direct current (DC) cable that goes directly to San Francisco. The DC cable would be buried 10 feet under the sea floor and could be patched into for adding new wind farms. A new land-based grid is unlikely to be a priority for Oregon, because the state has some of the lowest utility rates in the country. And the sub-sea DC cable would have a number of environmental hurdles, including migratory species such as salmon that are affected by EMF radiation. Shannon Souza, 2019 engineer of the year and the principle and founder of SolCoast Energy, spoke at Saturday’s forum about the southern Oregon coast’s energy vulnerabilities. She showed on a map that nearly 100% of the state’s energy is transmitted from Bonneville Power over transmission lines. Then, she pointed out the existence of an attractive market such as California, one that’s eager to buy energy, could affect the current low prices for energy in Oregon. “Our existing transmission lines are insufficient to support any significant export of Oregon energy to California,” Souza said. “We’ve got like a jumper cable that goes from Bonneville Dams down to California.” Planning for building
infrastructure is a very long process, she said. But there is discussion in the Northwest about how to intertie Oregon to California. Southwest Oregon consumes about 600 MW of electricity, which could be produced locally instead of being sourced entirely from Bonneville Power, she said. Bill Henry, a graduate student at Portland State University, is researching these larger transmission issues. His research at PSU is focused on the potential for transmission facilities to serve the offshore wind energy industry. Henry emphasized that offshore wind complements other renewable energy sources, and that the state should have a portfolio of hydro, solar and wind for diversification. Offshore wind has the advantage of being able to support larger turbines than onshore, which cannot exceed 70 meter blades because of difficulties transporting anything larger over land. According to Henry, the offshore wind manufacturer and developer ecosystem on the West Coast is dependent on the addressable market size and fire resiliency problems being experienced currently in California. Using high-voltage DC transmission for sections of the grid addresses the fire problems, because DC can be undergrounded more easily. As California, Washington and Oregon move away from carbon-based energy portfolios because of legislation passed in all three states, coal-fired power plants will disappear from the current mix of energy, leaving a large hole in energy production. For Henry, that makes the case for investors and legislators to consider a transmission line that goes from the wind energy production capability here, to the loads where the energy is needed in California and customers already are paying high prices. He is mapping out the steps to accomplish the

California are competing for offshore energy leases, according to Bradbury. A Coos Bay company, Principle Power, is engaged in the federal permitting process to install a 100-150 MW turbine 20 miles off the coast of Eureka.

Letter to the editor
In for the long haul
Don’t tell me I can’t call it a ‘Christmas’ tree Dear Editor: Okay, I’ve just about had a belly full of all you people who want to change a “Christmas tree” to a “holiday tree” because it’s offensive to your sensibilities. As for myself, I am a Christian and believe in Christ. Not one time in my 66 years on earth has it ever occurred to me to tell Jewish people I’m offended by them calling their holiday
“Hanukkah.” As a matter of fact, I never found anyone else’s religious preference any of my business, much less asking them to change anything about it. To all you politically correct people: You have no right to request we change what we call things, believe in, or how any of us live our lives! On that note, I’m going to go enjoy my “Christmas tree.” Marilyn Kenney Brookings

Yes, Virginia … Santa will come to Gold Beach Linda Pinkham Staff Writer Kids who live inside the city limits of Gold Beach may get a special visit Christmas Eve. Santa Claus will be escorted to children’s houses by either a police officer in a patrol vehicle or by a firefighter in a firetruck. Participating parents will need to pick an item from their child’s Christmas list, wrap the gift and deliver it to the Gold Beach Police Station by Dec. 15. The deadline is necessary so the department can determine the number of volunteers needed for the event. “I don’t know how many kids will be participating in this event this year,” said Gold Beach Police Department CPL. Ray Warren. “I have reached out to Riley Creek School to hand out fliers to parents, as well as social media.” Each gift must be labeled with the child’s name and address, along with providing the parent’s contact information. Gifts may be delivered Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. There’s no fee to sign up and drop off a gift.
“Delivery will be between 4 and 9 p.m. on Christmas Eve, so you must be at the residence or you will miss the delivery from Santa,” Warren said. “This event is going to be 100% donation- and volunteer-based. Fuel is donated by the Wallaces at the 76 gas station, I will volunteer my time to help coordinate things and escort Santa, and the fire department will volunteer a crew and truck to haul the presents.” This year, the address where the gift is to be delivered must be located inside the Gold Beach city limits. “I am starting with just Gold Beach, so I have a good idea of what to expect when we expand next year,” Warren said. “Next year, I would like to expand outside of Gold Beach and grow this event to eventually bring Santa to most of Curry County,” he said. “This isn’t my idea.

Beachfront RV Park deal inches forward Linda Pinkham Staff Writer
Beachfront RV Park is one step closer to coming under the management of Curry County Parks. Port of Brookings Harbor commissioners recently passed a motion, 4-1, directing port manager Gary Dehlinger to negotiate a lease agreement with the county. The lease will need to be approved by both the port and the county’s commissioners. The dissenting vote was cast by commissioner Sharon Hartung. Commissioners Joseph Speir, Roy Davis, Kenneth Range and Richard Heap affirmed the motion. “From my perspective, this is the best course of action for the port in dealing with development, or I should say, the repair and development, of our RV Park,” Heap said. “We are not in a position to have cash available to go fix that. We have to rely on grants, and we would have a pretty significant match to do that. I feel the RV park is in pretty tough shape and we’ve got to do something about it and quickly. “I just don’t see any downside to this. If the worst case happens, and for whatever reason the county just can’t do it, we get the RV park back.” Range initially was concerned about not seeing a more detailed management plan in advance of negotiating a lease. “I agree
with most of what Richard has said, but I can just see this as being another ‘green building,’” Range said. “There’s no money, no personnel. I’ve never seen a business plan that doesn’t address the financial issues.” Davis pointed out that the board’s job description is to “set policy, approve leases and create economic development. It’s not our job to negotiate leases. That’s what our manager does.” “I have a hard time giving up 30 years of revenue on something that’s made money,” Hartung said. “It’s just a shame that with the money it’s made, it hasn’t gone back into it, and it’s evidently had to support the rest of the port… “I don’t understand how we can give up something that’s a money-making operation.” County development director Judy Schmelzer and parks department director Josh Hopkins responded to questions concerning operations and provided financial details, in particular about any liability for the inter-departmental loan the county would take out to immediately fix the restroom and build an additional five RV sites. The county roads department will be able to do much of the work, which lowers the cost of the project considerably from the $400,000 estimate the port had been considering. The county would not need to pay prevailing wages, unlike an independent

The loan would be the county’s responsibility, and the port would not be financially liable; the county would hire employees to manage the park; and the parks department would look at customer feedback requesting a laundry facility. Hopkins pointed out that in looking at the financial records for 2015-16, the convenience store they had then was losing money. He recommended looking at using a vending company to provide toiletries and snacks. He pointed to the model used by the new RV Park at the Jackson County Fair-
grounds, which has vending machines maintained by an independent contractor and a two-station laundry facility that brings in $8,000 to $9,000 a month off just two commercial washers and dryers. County Commissioner Christopher Paasch reassured the port commissioners about the county’s intentions. “We are trying to re-create a relationship between this port and the county that has been let down for years,” he said.
