Comments sought on proposed
countywide park smoking ban
By KYLE SPURR
The Daily Astorian
Locals will have their
say before the Clatsop
County Board of Commis-
sioners vote to possibly ban
smoking and tobacco use in
county parks.
The Board of Commis-
sioners opened public com-
ment Wednesday at its reg-
ular meeting, and will keep
the comment period open
until its next meeting May
13.
The public is invited to
send in written comments
until the May 13 meeting,
and provide testimony at the
meeting before the Board of
Commissioners is sched-
uled to vote.
Supporters of the pro-
posed ban point to environ-
mental concerns and health
reasons such as decreasing
exposure to secondhand
smoke, encouraging more
smokers to quit and dis-
couraging children to start
smoking.
Clatsop County Parks
Manager Steve Meshke said
the proposal would effec-
tively add county parks into
the county’s existing no to-
bacco policy. The no tobac-
co policy, created in 2011,
is enforced outside county
department buildings.
Parks impacted by the
proposed policy include
Big Creek, Carnahan, Cul-
laby Lake, LeeWooden/
Fish Hawk Falls, Klootchy
Creek, North Fork Nehalem,
Sigfridson, John Day and
Westport boat ramp.
“There is a lot to be said
about this,” Meshke said.
“This ban will help pro-
mote a healthy environment
in parks, especially for the
youths, so we are not pro-
moting smoking and tobac-
co products.”
Robert McClelland of
Astoria — the chairman
of North Coast Prevention
Works, a group formed in
2010 to prevent and reduce
youth substance abuse —
offered his support for the
ban Wednesday night during
public comment.
McClelland told the
Board of Commissioners a
smoking and tobacco ban
would offer a cleaner and
healthy park experience and
reduce the exposure to chil-
dren.
“The
promotion
of
smoke-free parks reduces
the exposure of children to
smoking and tobacco use,”
McClelland said. “We know
children model their behav-
ior on the actions of adults
around them.”
The Clatsop County Rec-
reational Lands Planning
Advisory Committee rec-
ommended the ban in No-
vember. Although the rec-
ommendation passed, some
on the committee expressed
concerns about people’s
personal rights, how the
policy would be enforced
and the need for such a poli-
cy since parks are outdoors.
The proposed ban in-
cludes smoking of any ma-
terial, including electronic
cigarettes and chewing to-
bacco, which when spit out
creates both public health
concerns and maintenance
issues for county staff, ac-
cording to the parks depart-
ment.
“We pick up a lot of
cigarette butts in the coun-
ty parks, especially along
the water’s edge and the
John Day bathroom areas,”
Meshke said. “It will save
the parks a lot of man-time
to cleaning up cigarette
butts we find throughout the
park.”
In other business the
Board of Commissioners:
• Directed a steering
committee that includes
Commissioners Sarah Ne-
beker and Dirk Rohne to
approve a scope of work
agreement with Kennedy
Consulting regarding a 360
performance
evaluation
of County Manager Scott
Somers. The steering com-
mittee will report back a
finalized agreement at the
next Board of Commission-
ers meeting May 13.
• In response to Gov.
Kate Brown appointing As-
toria resident Bruce Buck-
master to a long-vacant
seat on the Oregon Fish
and Wildlife Commission,
agreed to send a letter of
support to State Sen. Peter
Courtney, D-Salem, who is
the president of the Senate
Committee on Rules. The
Senate Rules committee is
scheduled to host a hearing
on Brown’s executive ap-
pointees May 14.
• Set a public hearing
May 13 on the annexation
of the Arch Cape Domestic
Water Supply District filtra-
tion plant into the Cannon
Beach Rural Fire Protection
District. The filtration plant
was recently found to be lo-
cated outside, but adjacent
to, the rural fire protection
district. Because of the
chemicals and equipment in
the filtration plant, fire pro-
tection is necessary, county
counsel said.
The incident happened in
May 2013 when the girl was
about 9-months old, police
later discovered.

with their daughter, accord-
ing to the incident report. She
claims they split up about a
week before her arrest.
While they were high on
adderall, she said, Mackully
would talk about molesting
their daughter, according to
the report. Such comments
compelled her to take their
daughter and run away to
Idaho in June 2013. She got
a restraining order against her
husband while in Idaho.
The 2-year-old girl is re-
portedly staying with Mack-
ully’s parents in Columbia
County.
