5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2016 Relocation: ‘I love Astoria, but there is just no room’ Continued from Page 1A Such a storage system allows much more storage in less space, according to the county. The system will also meet the requirements to lock weapons and drugs separately from the other items stored. “That’s where the actual evidence is going to be,” Bergin said. “It will all be out there in a secure building.” Under one roof Compared to the cramped quarters in the Astoria building, the new Sheriff’s 2f¿ce location will have larger meeting and conference rooms. Sergeants and deputies will have their own space to review cases and sort evidence rather than having to share the same room. The larger space will also offer more privacy for interviews with victims. Outside, a pole barn is being built to house vehicles, including those used for search and rescue. Bergin said his of¿ce has simply outgrown the cur- rent location. “I love Astoria, but there is just no room,” Bergin said. “Let’s utilize this building to its fullest potential and let’s get us all working together.” A major bene¿t of moving to the new location at S.(. 1inth St. is the Sheriff’s Of¿ce will be work- ing side-by-side with its Parole and Probation Division. While construction continues, Parole and Probation is temporarily operating out of the former Lum’s Auto building in Astoria. Everything will become more organized once the Sheriff’s Of¿ce and Parole and Probation start operat- ing out of the same hub, Bergin said. “We are all under one roof,” Bergin said. “We are all here and we are all working together.” Joshua Bessex/The Daily Astorian The foundation of the new module where evidence will be stored is seen at the new Clatsop County Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday. Credits: Approved plan hikes wages over a period of six years Continued from Page 1A the increased minimum wage while larger employers would easily be able to absorb the cost. “We decided let’s try to get this right,” Clem said. The lawmaker said he has seen the narrow pro¿t mar- gins at his family’s farm near in Parkdale. “We want to make sure employees aren’t losing their jobs because somebody sells to larger ¿rms or starts to auto- mate,” Clem said. Gov. Kate Brown has expressed support for tax credits to offset small businesses’ costs. “I certainly support the con- cept,” Brown said Wednesday. Tax credits for businesses were “on the table that we negoti- ated around before the Legis- lature met,” she said. House Speaker Tina Kotek, D-Portland, has been support- ive of pursuing negotiations to come up with a tax credit proposal. “She’s open to a conver- sation about ways to provide targeted support for small employers, but she hasn’t seen a ¿nal proposal yet,” said Lind- sey O’Brien, Kotek’s commu- nications director. The details of the still-evolving draft plan were unclear late Wednesday after- noon. At that point, the pro- posal had called for giving tax credits to small businesses, nonpro¿ts, and businesses engaged in farming, forestry, ¿shing, other natural resources production and traded sector manufacturing, starting in July 2017. Lawmakers were still try- ing to determine the number of employees that would make an employer eligible. The limit could be as many as 25 employees and as little as 10, Clem said. The tax credit would reduce the effective wage rate for those employers. The amount would gradually climb in tan- dem with the minimum wage, reaching up to $2 per hour per employee in July 2022. The proposal could be attached to existing bills that already have passed one of the legislative chambers. Clem and Davis said their original concept also would have set smaller increases in minimum wage and lifted a ban against setting higher wages in Portland. Both of those proposals were too com- plex to push through the wan- ing days of the Legislature’s 35-day session. The minimum wage plan, approved earlier this month by both legislative cham- bers, hikes minimum wages over a period of six years. The amount differs in each of three regions and is set according to a county’s median income and cost of living. In Portland, minimum wage will reach $14.75 in the Portland area, $12.50 in rural and coastal counties with struggling econ- omies and $13.50 in the rest of the state by 2022. Brown said the customized minimum wage plan sparked interest at the National Gov- ernors Association’s win- ter meeting Feb. 19-22. Sen. Michael Dembrow, D-Port- land, who spearheaded the three-tier plan, said the state ‘s minimum wage plan is a ¿rst in the nation. “The folks also were very excited, frankly, about our three-tier minimum wage that addresses regional eco- nomic differences,” Brown said Wednesday. “I think there is some discussion about whether this might be a model for other states to replicate that have regional differences like we do in Oregon.” Salmon: Environmental groups say dams are the main culprit Continued from Page 1A Oregon snowpack was the lowest on record for the 2015 water year, and early run- off exacerbated low Àows throughout the Columbia Basin. By July, more than a quarter-million sockeye had died in the Columbia and Snake rivers — at least half the total run, according to reports. One biologist with the National Oceanic and Atmo- spheric Administration wor- ried mortality could rise to 80 percent. Environmental groups say dams are the main cul- prit. Peters did not speci¿cally address the letter sent to Col. Aguilar, but said the Corps THE DAILY ASTORIAN T HURSDAY E VENING A (2) (3) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (10) (12) (13) (-) (20) (-) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) L KATU KRCW KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KOPB KPTV KPDX KCPQ TBS KZJO ESPN ESPN2 NICK DISN FAM FMC LIFE ROOT FS1 SPIKE COM HIST A&E TLC DISC NGEO TNT AMC USA FOOD HGTV FX CNN FNC CNBC BRAV TCM SYFY RFD (2) (3) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (10) (12) (-) (13) (20) (22) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) 6 is working with NOAA and the state of Idaho on a report detailing what exactly hap- pened in 2015, and ways they can keep the rivers cooler moving forward. The report will also address ¿sh passage issues on the lower Snake and Columbia dams, Peters said. “We’re looking at various operations that could offset the ¿sh ladder temperature dif- ferences,” he said. “Those dis- cussions are going on.” Peters said that report will be presented to the North- west Power and Conserva- tion Council, possibly in April. The council is made up of rep- resentatives from Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Mon- tana, and works to balance regional power needs with ¿sh and wildlife. Possible emergency mea- sures might include closing off surface collectors at the dams when water tempera- tures get too high. Surface col- lectors take in water near the surface to help with juvenile ¿sh passage, but can introduce LISTINGS A - Charter Astoria/ Seaside - L - Charter Long Beach warmer water into the dams’ ¿sh ladders that impede return- ing adults. Another idea, Peters said, is to start catching and trucking ¿sh at the dams earlier in the year when conditions arise. But nothing has been set in stone. “I think we were all caught somewhat behind last year,” he said.
