IX. PENDING BUSINESS
a) City Shops Property—City Manager Wyntergreen brought the new cost estimate for improvements at the new City Shops to the Council. The estimate is higher than initially anticipated and it was suggested that the City could ask TURA for help with some capital improvements. The Council discussed, at length, the cost of the projects and viability of consolidating the Public Works and Police Departments as well as whether or not to solicit funds from TURA. Councilor Forster moved that the City of Tillamook submit an application to TURA for $225,000 in order to bring the building up to standard for the Public Works Department.

He also assured the citizens that the issue of illegal fireworks is being brought to the Public Works Committee for discussion.

Exporting timber will have a huge impact on local mills—driving their costs up significantly. He encouraged everyone to sign a petition against the initiative and keep Oregon’s timber local.

Packet.

Wyntergreen asked for direction on whether to have two contracts—the old and new, or to consolidate the terms and move forward. The Council reached a consensus to have a new contract for simplicity. He also reported that the State is modifying its process for road project funding for 2018. The changes require an application by October 1, 2012 to be eligible.

VIII. CITIZENS HEARING/AUDIENCE COMMENTS—
Tilda Chadwick Jones of 7650 Fairview Road came forward with a concern about the ODOT project. She referred to page 4 and the last meeting held for the community had regarding the project. The Committee only had 7 out of 15 members vote on the decision. She expressed her concerns about the businesses and jobs lost. She wants to know how the Council feels about the project—why the only voters were staff members, not the Council. Mayor Weber noted that the Council has not voted, but sent representatives to stakeholder meetings, and that staff had conveyed the wishes of the Council. Councilor Forster noted that each Council Member had also given an individual “nod” of approval for the project. Councilor Sandusky stated that the City Council was instrumental in obtaining the funding in the first place. City Manager Wyntergreen added that it is not necessary for the Council to take action for any type of approval—that would just be a good will gesture at this point. Mayor Weber thanked Tilda for bringing her concerns forward.
David McCall, the new Solid Waste program manager introduced himself to the Council. He expressed that waste is a problem that we all deal with and he would like to work with us to find good solutions for both incorporated and unincorporated citizens. The City Council welcomed him to the area.
IX. NEW BUSINESS
a.) Set Workshop to Discuss Transportation Funding Opportunities—City Manager Wyntergreen noted a revised deadline from ODOT for the STIP funding opportunities. It has been pushed back to the end of November for funding from 2016-2018. Partnership applications are favorable. Larry McKinley from ODOT stated there is about $20M available for distribution. He noted that the possibility for tandem work with the ODOT roadway changes for beautification and maintenance. Mayor Weber set the workshop for Tuesday, September 4, 2012 at 5:30 pm.
b.) Council Dues—City Manager Wyntergreen explained that the Oregon Coastal Zone Management Association has
sent a notice for dues that was not budgeted for this fiscal year. Mayor Weber noted that the work the organization does may impact the City, which our prior dues were usually to support their efforts. Councilor Forster asked about an appointee to the organization from the Council. No one has been involved. Forster’s initial thought is Tillamook is not an active member, but the outcome from involvement would be good as neighbors and citizens are impacted. He believes it is time to become active. Wyntergreen explained the dues budget. Councilor Sandusky expressed his preference to stick with what was budgeted. Councilor Forster moved to pay the dues to the Oregon Coastal Zone Management Association and appoint a councilor to represent the City. Councilor Martin seconded. Motion tied two-to-two (2-2) nay votes being cast by Councilors Davy and Sandusky. Mayor Weber cast a nay vote to break the tie stating that the City should take a one-year break from the Association. Motion failed, three-to-two (3-2).
X. PENDING BUSINESS
a) Chamber Agreement—City Manager Wyntergreen referred to the drafts in the packet—the City’s agreement as of last Thursday, and then Friday’s Chamber Meeting counter offer. All parameters were met in the draft, including the new amount, a clause to keep the prior contract amount if the baseline is not met, and the accountability that is desired. Jennifer Purcell, Chamber of Commerce Board President thanked the Mayor and City Manager for the collaborative effort of the document for contracted services and expected outcomes. She explained the changes that the Chamber is proposing. Councilor Davy suggested the report date should be May 15th to provide for the 45 days before the end of each fiscal year for the City. Councilor Forster asked for clarification on who decides benchmarks. Purcell stated it would be mutual. Councilor Sandusky stated it looks good. Purcell added that the Chamber Board voted Friday, and agreement passed unanimously. Councilor Sandusky moved to direct the Mayor to sign the Tourism Agreement Number 5 between the City of Tillamook and the Chamber of Commerce as amended this evening. Councilor Forster seconded. Motion Carried unanimously by Council seated.
Monday, August 6, 2012| Tillamook City Council Meeting 3
Councilor Forster asked Purcell about a plan for the loss of a motel and how they will move forward. Purcell stated the Chamber is interested in actively working together for a solution to the loss and the change process.
XI. LEGISLATIVE
a) Resolution 1616—City Manager Wyntergreen noted that the old step schedule had been thrown out with the last handbook adoption. After trying ranges, the Personnel Committee wanted to reinstitute a salary schedule. He explained the salary scale presented with the resolution. Councilor Davy asked to postpone the decision to a later date. Councilor Sandusky reported on the intent of the Personnel Committee. Councilor Forster expressed his concerns and relayed that the contracted longevity pay should be addressed. City Recorder Donowho stated that in order to be timely with longevity pay the decision should be made before the end of October for longevity pay. Councilor Forster moved to refer Resolution 1616 back to the Personnel Committee on September 11th to make a decision for the September 17th City Council Meeting. Councilor Davy seconded. Motion carried unanimously by Council seated.
XII. COUNCIL CONCERNS a) Councilor Martin noted that the City Hall is currently closed at 4pm and calls are not answered.
b) Councilor Davy talked the Mook Mate Mentor Program. It is a good opportunity for adults to share college
information and other skills with high school students. Contact Sheryl Robertson at 503-842-2566 for more information. She passed out a leaflet with the Program’s information to the Council. Davy also talked about the curbside recycling initiative and proposed a competition between wards to encourage more utilization of the service. Councilor Martin expressed that he has witnessed the recycling items being disposed of with the garbage. Davy also noted the article in the paper about the elk on the Port property and would encourage it as a positive thing, not negative.
c) Councilor Forster attended the annual car show at the Air Museum and said it was fantastic to see the former Mayor
of Bay City, Bub Simmons, in a convertible. Moonlight Madness was also encouraging to see the city bustling.
d) Councilor Sandusky announced that the new class schedules for fall term are now published for TBCC. This is a month and a half before the term starts, so he encouraged students to register sooner rather than later to get into the classes they want or need.
XIII. MONTHLY REPORTS a) Police Chief—Police Chief Wright included a report with Council packets. Mayor Weber noted they are working
on issues with junk, debris, and inoperable vehicles. City Manager Wyntergreen also added there is another candidate in the final testing stages for the Police Officer position. The Emergency Operations plan update is also underway.
e) City Planner—Planner Mattison included a report with the Council packets. City Manager Wyntergreen added
that the Planning Commission held a hearing on the comprehensive plan and amendments. The plan has had a big overhaul and is much more comprehensive and readable.
f) Mayor—Mayor Weber stated that Lynda Casey retired at the end of the month. Municipal Court is now consolidated
with the County Justice Court. She was stopped on the street due to the recent increase in water rates. Although the increase was discussed when the lawsuit was decided, no additional notice had been sent. She and the City Manager had an opportunity to take a forest tour for stream enhancements, stabilization, parks opportunities, up to Salmonberry and Cook Creek. This gave them a vision of what the “Rails and Trails” could be like. The level of interest is high—there were 13 vans full of people on the tour. Wyntergreen added that the State Parks recreational trails are meeting at Cape Lookout to see what can happen on a regional scale. Mayor Weber announced that the STIHL Tour des Trees went very well. The riders’ ranged in ages from 14-75. The Tree Fund President and CEO, Janet Bornancin, encouraged the Mayor to look at trees and how they could help us, and to put together an application for tree fund money.

Abigail Donowho 210 Laurel Avenue City Recorder/Treasurer/Human Resources Tillamook, OR 97141 City of Tillamook (503) 842-3450 e-mail: [email protected] Fax: (503) 842-3445 Date: 8/20/2012 To: City Council Re: Monthly Report July/August 2012 Last month, I outlined several of the projects that are ongoing in my office. Another update is as follows:
1) Codification: I was able to sit down with both Paul and David regarding items in the codification draft. We found a few items that need to be fixed or added. I am working through the editorial report that American Legal sent us with their recommendations. We are getting closer to a finished product. I am researching a long list of fees that were noted as far less than the statutory maximum and may need adjustment. We also found that the zoning ordinance was listed by reference, not in full text, and are asking that that be rectified. Because we want a user-friendly code it is taking a little longer than originally anticipated. The process is educational for me, and we are also finding areas in need updating. Thanks for your patience!
2) Agenda Quick Software: I have been moving along with my training on the Agenda Quick software. Both Debbi Reeves and I working on getting our templates for agendas and minutes put in the system. As part of the upgrade to an agenda and minutes management software program, we found some laptops for Council, Planning Commission, and TURA to use at meetings (they will remain at City Hall for this purpose). When the program is ready to be used with our own templates and information we will set up a workshop to show the Council the program and how easy it is to use and view your packet (from home and during the meetings). You may like to know that the “look” of our current agendas and minutes will not change with the program as it is designed to work FOR US, not change what we do. I am excited to get it going. I anticipate we’ll be ready for the first phase of the program (agenda management) sometime early in the fall.
3) Elections: Signature sheets for candidates are with the County Clerk for verification. If anything comes up I will let you know. We did not have any outside candidates.
4) Records Retention: As the summer wraps up and we come into a somewhat slower season for the City, I will continue to work on educating staff on records retention. The filing of the City’s permanent records is in the process of being updated—Mary is helping me scan all of the older resolutions and ordinances for easy access on the computer.
5) OAMR Conference: As I shared before, I will not be attending the LOC Conference with the Council this year (as the classes were not geared toward my job). I am, however, going to be at the OAMR Conference in Ontario, Oregon from September 19th through 22nd. I will be earning credits toward my CMC designation through some very pertinent courses regarding Recording, Council relations and more. I will be sure to report back after the conference. I appreciate that the City is willing to invest in its employees through education. Thanks!
Human Resource research and paperwork are a constant at my desk. As we are working on the salary schedule and handbook revisions, I was excited to sign up for a free web conference offered by the Institute of Human Resources regarding best salary practices. It will be just in time for the next Personnel Committee meeting on September 11th. I had a lot of fun with the Tour des Tress program two weeks ago. Thanks to those of you who were able to participate and help with the program! I will have thank-you cards at the meeting for signatures from the Council to send to some folks who really helped us out. Please know that my door is open if you have any questions or concerns! Thanks!
