Peter DeFazio has forwarded to the Appropriations Committee two applications,” said Luhr, indicat- ing that this was a significant step forward in the possible granting of the funds requested; $850,000 to rebuild the cannery and $810,000 for dredging. “Not very many get by (to this point),” said Luhr, who added a point about the South Coast Watershed Committee. “The committee met last night and voted to sever any relationship with the city gov- ernment of Port Orford,” said Luhr. At the last meeting of the P.O. council a request by the Watershed Committee for some funds for a study was rejected due to lack of funds. It was sug- gested that the Watershed’s actions might be linked to this rejection, which Luhr met only with arched eyebrows and a slight smile. “Well, we wish them well in the future,” said McArdle, to general assent of the councilors present. Mayor’s report In the mayor’s report, Auborn noted a new wrinkle in the efforts to build a new visitor’s center at Battle Rock City Park. Seems Auborn checked with the Oregon Department of Transportation and “their right- of-way (from Highway 101) runs right through the existing Visitor’s Center,” he said. As serious as this might sound, it was noted that the problem resulted from old agreements overlapping and the general consensus was that it would be dealt with. “A handshake agreement that probably happened 30 years ago,” said Murphy. A new ordinance Next the council considered adoption of City Ordinance 2010-02, Exemption of Water Connection SDCs for Fire Suppression Systems. “I think that there should be (included) a contribution to the (general fund),” suggested Luhr to the council. “Have you done a study on the city’s that have done this (exemption)?” asked Smith. “The majority (of Oregon cities) exempt fire suppression systems, but not all,” said Murphy. “Well, we should encourage businesses to put fire suppres- sion systems in,” continued Gary Robertson Smith. “It’s good for both the business and the (safety of) the businesses around them.” Clancy opposed the ordi- nance, feeling that it reduced the fees which might have been generated for the city. At the conclusion of discus- sion the council voted along 3-2 lines in favor of adopting the new ordinance, with Luhr and Clancy voting against. Community Garden The next item, a right-of-way for the new Port Orford Rotary First Harvest Community Garden adjacent to the ball field at Buffington Park, was much more quickly adopted, 5-0. “This is a good idea,” said Auborn. “I hope a lot of people take advantage of the Community Garden and it pro- duces a lot of food.” For anyone who would like information, participation, or your own plot of rich soil to grow in, call McArdle at (541) 332-0947. Consent calendar The consent calendar, consist- ing of recognition of Visitor Center volunteers; Jim Billings, Jim Hajek, Mary Colozzi and Steve Roemen was quickly passed, 5-0, with accolades offered for the work of those honored. A new appointment Next the council considered the appointment of Gary Robertson to the Planning Commission. This was preceded by a strong endorsement by Smith, who noted “Gary’s experience in building design and that he’s a member of the Tribe.” However, this potential appointment provoked some opposition from Clancy, who noted that in her estimate Auborn only appointed “his friends” to the Planning Commission. This remark left Auborn momentarily speechless, before he protested “Caroline, half of the people in this audience … ,” and paused. Looking around the room the politician in our mayor asserted itself and he picked up his sen- tence where he had left it hanging See COUNCIL, page 9 Sports, in the Port Orford News, are sponsored by Call 541-272-2051 for information Call 541-272-2051 for information ©2010 Charter Communications.
