NORTH COAST THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, AUGUST 25, 2015 3A Police searching for armed home invasion suspect A IRJJ\ ÀLJKW By KYLE SPURR TKH DDLO\ AVWRULDQ A masked gunman report- edly entered a residence on the 1100 block of Grand Ave- nue in Astoria Monday night, demanded money from one of the residents and then Àed on foot. Astoria 3olice responded to the home invasion robbery at about 11:22 p.m. 3olice of¿cers contacted about eight occupants who said the man entered through an unlocked door, held the occupants at gunpoint and Àed on foot. No one was hurt during the incident.

Somebody knew where they were going.” Anyone who believes they may have information about this incident is asked to con- tact the Astoria 3olice Depart- ment at 503-325-4411. &RXQW\¶V WD[DWLRQ College crafts search committee GLUHFWRU UHVLJQV Joshua Bessex/The Daily Astorian By EDWARD STRATTON TKH DDLO\ AVWRULDQ Try creating a 20-person all-star roster of leaders repre- senting all aspects of Clatsop County. Clatsop Community Col- lege’s governing board at- tempted the feat Tuesday. As part of the search for a long-term president, the col- lege’s board is assembling an approximately 20-member stakeholder community. The board, meeting in a work session along with in- terim president Greg Ham- ilton, tiptoed over eggshells trying to come up with names for the “external stakehold- er” side of the committee, balancing male and female; Astoria, Warrenton, Seaside and Cannon Beach; North, South and East county; and business and government. Board members sought names of people who cover multiple arenas, often poli- ticians also in the business world and governing board representatives. On the other “internal stakeholder” side, board mem- bers fretted over how to rep- resent the college community. The stakeholder committee will include full and part-time faculty, staff, college founda- tion members and a student. “There’s so many good people who could help us,” said board member Karen Burke about the delicate bal- ancing act the board plays in assembling the committee. “We just have to ¿nd a way to use them all.” Invites will go out this week Leslie Lipe said invites for the committee will start go- ing out this week. The college board votes Sept. 8 on who it wants on the committee. The Association of Com- munity College Trustees, the search consultant, convenes community forums in early October to gauge what the public wants in a new colle- giate leader. “From the input I’m get- ting, people seem relieved that we’re diving right in,” said board member Anne Tea- ford-Cantor. The college’s search cal- endar has it receiving appli- cations by Jan. 4. Throughout January, the stakeholder com- mittee will narrow the ¿eld to between eight and 12 candi- dates, interview and ultimately recommend ¿ve or six names to the college board. The board interviews the candidates, narrowing the ¿eld to three ¿nalists who TKH DDLO\ AVWRULDQ Mike Grant, director of the Clatsop County Assess- ment and Taxation Depart- ment, resigned effective Monday. Grant joined Clatsop County in 2010 as a property appraisal supervisor. County Manager Scott Somers ap- pointed Grant as assessment and taxation director in July 2013. His background includes an appraiser position with the Oregon Department of Revenue, ownership of real estate and mortgage broker- age businesses and serving as adjunct professor of real Memory lane The college last looked for a president in 2010, when Greg Hamann left for Linn-Benton Community College. It took the board four months to whittle applications down to Galizio, voting 6-1 that summer to hire him. The lone “no” vote came from board member Larry Sparks, who resigned moments before the end of the same meeting. Sparks called the presidential selection process “politicized” and “corrupted.” Galizio led the college through a large, contentious faculty layoff in 2011, and near the end of his tenure, a success- ful construction bond campaign that helped ¿nance 3atriot Hall’s ongoing modernization.
