7aVN Iorce: Nonpro¿ts have had to take an outsized role

services such as places to
store belongings, take a show-
er, use a bathroom and wash
clothing.
The coalition also rec-
ommended moving toward a
housing-¿rst strategy through
an inventory of available
housing, a guide to landlords
who are renting, a list of peo-
ple who need housing, and a
breakdown of vouchers and
assistance programs.
The city is already con-
ducting an inventory of vacant
housing as part of a review on
affordable housing.
The task force urged the
creation of low-barrier hous-
ing or shelter, which empha-
sizes the immediate need for
housing over substance abuse
or mental health concerns.
Nemlowill chosen
council president
The Daily Astorian
Astoria City Councilor Zetty Nemlow-
ill was unanimously chosen council presi-
dent Monday night.
The council president presides over the
City Council in the absence of the mayor.
Nemlowill, who was elected last year,
replaces City Councilor Russ Warr as
president.
Warr nominated Nemlowill for the
post. Her nomination was seconded by
City Councilor Cindy Price.
The coalition also called
for building capacity in the
nonpro¿t sector.

Johnston, who is also the
assistant city manager, said
that because of the decline of
the family, the neighborhood
and the church over the past
several decades, nonpro¿ts
have been asked to take an
outsized role in social ser-
vices.
“Finding a way that we
can strengthen that work is a
huge force multiplier for us,”
he said.
access to mental health and
health care providers, not
long-term policy prescrip-
tions.
“It’s true that the city can’t
necessarily take responsibili-
ty for them,” LaMear said of
the coalition’s recommenda-
tions. “But it does give us a
framework to work from.”

‘We all pay a price’
Mayor Arline LaMear
appointed the task force in
August after a summer when
downtown merchants com-
plained about the homeless
urinating and defecating out-
side storefronts and residents
shared concerns about home-
lessness as a visibly growing
problem.
The coalition’s focus was
supposed to be on homeless
interaction with police and
For the second winter,
volunteers have staffed the
Astoria Warming Center on
cold nights to provide emer-
gency shelter for the home-
less.
Last year, the City Coun-
cil authorized the warming
center to use the Astoria
Senior Center, which is un-
dergoing renovation, but the
warming center is not a city
service. The warming center
moved to First United Meth-
odist Church this winter and
a volunteer’s request for city
money has been tied up over
legal questions about the sep-
aration of church and state.
City Councilor Drew Her-
zig, who helped establish the
warming center and served
on the task force, said that
while city government does
not have the primary respon-
sibility over homelessness,
the community does suffer a
cost.
“I have to stress that we
all pay a price for this prob-
lem,” he said. “Even though
it might not be the city’s re-
sponsibility, the city is suf-
fering from this in more ways
than one.
“And as we move to ad-
dress it everybody will ben-
e¿t.”

could physically “represent
the Corps of Discovery in the

accurate way and had not re-
cruited new members to step
into those roles, Tucker said.
Last year, the program

son representation, with in-
terpreters dressed in period
costume but not trying to play

Freeman said.
The National Park Service
invited the Paci¿c Northwest
Living Historians to partici-
pate in the third-person inter-
pretation event, but they de-
clined.
“It seemed like it went just
as well that way,” Freeman said.
The agency does not plan
to continue as a partner for
The Saltmakers Return, even
as a third-person interpretive
event, Tucker said.
“It’s too cost-prohibitive
for a one-day program,” he
said, adding the park also dis-
continued its own ¿rst-person
living history program, called
“Wintering Over,” held annu-
ally the weekend before Mar-
tin Luther King Jr. Day.

The national park will seek
opportunities to work with
people” if it’s going to con-
tinue, said Montero, who also
serves on the Seaside City
Council. “It’s a very labor-in-
tensive program.”
Rather than letting the
program struggle and “slide
downhill slowly,” the muse-
um board decided “it’s much
better in our mind to stop and
regroup,” Montero said.
To reach a decision about
the event’s long-term contin-
uation, the museum board is
the museum on cost-effective
programs that highlight Sea-
side’s historical signi¿cance
and connection to the Corps of
Discovery e[pedition.
Without going through the
National Park Service, the Sea-
side Museum cannot provide li-
ability insurance for volunteers
for an event like the Saltmak-
ers, Montero said. Additionally,
the museum’s own volunteer
population is aging, she said.
“This program needs new
inviting community organiza-
tions and residents to partici-
pate in a series of discussions
regarding the requirements,
processes and possibilities for
resuming the program in 2017.
“We want to open the door
for anybody to join with us and
be part of the whole thing,”
Montero said.

ipating can call 503-738-7065

canicum Drive.
Port: Lease was never transferred after commission’s vote to do so
&oQtLQXHGIroPPDJH$
contract negotiations before
they were completed, barring
the company from seeking
breach of contract claims. He
also argued that any action
taken by Knight or the Port
was within the discretion of
a government agency and not
subject to Param’s claims.
In many of the Port’s de-
nials of allegations involving
Fulton, Hunsinger, Trabucco
and Orr, Reese claimed the
Port and Knight ³lack suf¿-
cient knowledge or informa-
tion to determine the truth of
the allegations.”
The Port seeks a dismissal
of Param’s lawsuit and repay-
ment of attorney fees.
&RPSOLFDWHG¿JKW
Smithart took over the ho-
tel with business partner Seth
Davis in 2012, but had fallen
behind and faced eviction mul-
tiple times. Ganesh Sonpatki,
representing Param, had court-
ed Smithart since 2014, trying
to buy him out of the remain-
ing two years of his lease and
¿ve-year e[tension option in
e[change for paying off his
debts.
The Port Commission vot-
ed in June to have staff trans-
fer Smithart’s lease to Param.
But the lease was never trans-
ferred. The Port instead termi-
nated Smithart’s lease in July
but kept him in the hotel as it
tried to ¿nd a short-term op-
erator. In September, the Port
installed Astoria Hospitality
Ventures — Orr and Trabuc-
co’s partnership — as the
short-term operator.
“The Port temporarily
handed that valuable hotel

cial waterfront building with
tens of businesses that burned
down several years ago.
property to an unTuali¿ed
competitor — a competitor
that has close family ties, and
even a shared address, with
one of the Port commission-
ers — without any e[plana-
tion,” Colin Hunter, Param’s
lawyer, wrote in the original
complaint.
Orr, a native Astorian and
businessman from Seattle, is
Fulton’s brother-in-law. Tra-
bucco is the developer formerly
behind the Elliott Hotel, which
he and partners lost in a foreclo-
sure proceeding. Trabucco was
also the developer behind Nos.
/DFNRINQRZOHGJH
Param made a number of al-
legations regarding Orr and Tra-
bucco leveraging their connec-
tions to Fulton and Hunsinger.
The company claims Orr and
Trabucco reached out to Fulton
and Hunsinger after hearing
of the impending lease assign-
ment, urging them not to assign
the lease on the Riverwalk Inn
to Param.
Param’s lawsuit claims that
while Fulton claimed to have
recused himself from discus-
sions involving the Riverwalk
Inn because of a conÀict of
interest, he still actively took
part in deliberations regarding
the Riverwalk Inn and leaked
information to Orr and Trabuc-
co, giving them a competitive
advantage.
Param also portrayed
Hunsinger as a lifelong ac-
quaintance of Orr’s, claiming
he leaked Orr and Trabucco in-
formation during negotiations
on the hotel.
