Attachments: Health Insurance information Community Advisory Group letter – Astoria Marine Construction clean-up Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan approval letter Oregon Employment Department Labor Market Information

Noteworthy Department Updates Clerk & Elections – There will not be a September 2015 election as no measures were filed with Clerk

& Elections. September 3, 2015 is the last day for city elections official, county governing body or

district elections authority to file or withdraw a notice of measure election for a November 2015

election. As of this date, Clerk and Elections has not received a notice of measure election for a

November election.

September 10, 2015 is the first day for a major party or nonpartisan candidate to file a declaration of

candidacy or nominating petition for the May 2016 Primary Election.

Clerk & Elections will take delivery of the new ballot tallying machine September 16. The machine

was approved for purchase by the Board of Commissioners July 22 and replaces the current 10-year-old

machine that has reached the end of its service life.

County Manager – Labor negotiations continue with the AFSCME Courthouse/Roads bargaining unit.

Attached are cost comparisons and additional information on all health insurance plans currently

utilized or being considered.

After a nationwide search, Elizabeth “Liz” Lawless has been selected to fill the Human

Resources/Risk Manager position. Liz begins with Clatsop County on Monday, August 31st.

Staff and representatives from CEDR and Business Oregon continue working identifying options and

solutions for development of the North Coast Business Park.

Greater Oregon Behavioral Health Inc. (GOBHI), Columbia Memorial Hospital, Providence Seaside

Hospital and the County continue to work together on creating an independent non-profit, of which each

entity would be a member, to oversee the crisis respite facility, which should come on line in late fall or

early winter. Once a draft agreement is developed, it will be presented to the Board of Commissioners

for consideration.

Continue meeting with staff from each department to discuss the Vision 2030. Each staff member is

asked to contribute to the work plan. Once a draft work plan is finalized, it will be presented to the

Board of Commissioners in a work session.

The Arts Council of Clatsop County (ACCC) continues to promote the arts in Clatsop County. In

collaboration with the State of Oregon, the ACCC plans to embark on a study to identify the economic

impact the arts have on Clatsop County.

Emergency Management - The Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan was approved by FEMA last week

(see attached letter); the plan guides our mitigation efforts and maintains our eligibility for several types

of disaster funding.

RARE Americorps Volunteer Nick Sund completes his service with Clatsop County Emergency

Management today. Nick was instrumental in coordinating the Teen CERT program and enhancing

department outreach. A new RARE volunteer has been selected and will begin with September 14.

Emergency Management staff and CERT volunteers partnered this week to host a booth at the County

Fair.

Next week is the Pathfinder Minutemen exercise at Camp Rilea where the Oregon Disaster Medical

Team, Oregon Military Department and a handful of special teams from around the country (as far as

Kentucky!) will gather to practice coordinating search, rescue and medical operations. The scenario is

around a tsunami devastating a coastal community and the exercise will utilize Camp Rilea’s newly-

developed Rubble Pile, a training resource comprised of concrete blocks, shipping containers, old cars

and subterranean tunnels which is designed to train responders how to perform search and rescue in

catastrophic events. Role play victim volunteers are still needed, and can go to this link to sign up to

participate.

Public Health – The Onsite Septic System program has moved to the Public Health Department from

the Community Development Department, and is at 820 Exchange St., first floor, next to Suite 100.

Thanks to Clancie, Pat, and all others in Community Development for supporting this program in their

office, and as it transitioned from DEQ to the County. Thanks to Bryan, Annette and others in Public

Health for your work in planning the move; to Dave, John and others in facilities for remodeling the

new space; and Jim and staff in IT for wiring and equipping the office. This is a great example of

various programs working together to provide world class service to the citizens of Clatsop County.

Last week Heather Hansen, Director of Community Development, Mike McNickle, Environmental

Health Supervisor, and Brian Mahoney, Director of Public Health, attended the Public Health Policy

Institute on the campus of the Oregon State University. The institute provided a venue for seven teams

from various counties and the state to come together and learn how to plan, implement, and assess

policy initiatives that affect public health. Each team came with ideas that would need to be investigated

in their own region. Clatsop County’s team looked at issues that impact drinking water, septic systems,

and development in the North Clatsop Plains.

Public Works – The Public Works Department submitted to the Oregon Department of Transportation

Bridge Engineering Section a federal funding proposal to replace one bridge and rehabilitate three

county maintained bridges. If funded the project(s) would take place between 2018-2021.

The Westport Ferry Landing Replacement Project is to wrap up major construction activity in early

August; there will be some landscape seeding occurring in the stormwater quality facility in mid-

September.
