CCC: ‘We had a

“We had a very tough
time with this choice,” said
board Director Tessa James
Scheller. “We’re very com-
fortable with actually both
candidates.”

Marlin Larsen shows a sketch of his proposed Harborview Resort. The resort will feature several mini-lodges, yurts,
and a conventional lodge with a deck.
Hammond: Resort is targeting
folks looking to get back to nature
Continued from Page 1A
The Hammond resort-in-
progress is still in its infancy
stage, city oficials said.
But, by mid-summer,
Larsen hopes to have the
website launched and at least
some of the structures built
and ready for habitation. The
full resort may not be in-
ished until next year, he said.
Harborview Resort is tar-
geting guests looking for a
back-to-nature-type
expe-
rience — folks who aren’t
unnerved by the sight of elk
grazing nearby.

Dining Room and Bar, Buoy

Seafarer’s Park.
In addition, the resort is
partnering with local ishing
and crabbing guides. When
the website goes live, users
will be able to book ishing
tours along with the rental
units. The site will also pro-
vide a 360-degree tour of the
unit interiors.
The yurts would be
priced in the $90 per night
range, mini-lodges will fall
somewhere from $140 to
$180, and the tugboat will
run about $150.
So far, the only dwell-
ing that’s oficially named is
Harborview Lodge. Larsen
and his marketing manager,
Sarah Hollander, are planning
a naming contest for at least
one of them, hoping to ind a
moniker that evokes nautical
themes or perhaps the region’s
Native American culture.
“The mini-lodges’ names
will deinitely relect North-
west Coast lifestyle and natu-
ral features,” Hollander said.
So don’t even think about
“Lodgey McLodgeface.”
The decision likely ends
a presidential search process
that began over the summer
to replace Lawrence Gal-
izio, who started at the col-
lege in 2010 and left in July
to be president and CEO
of the Community College
League of California. Ger-
ald Hamilton is serving as
interim president of the col-
lege this school year.
To help narrow the initial
candidates to inalists, the
college convened a stake-
holder committee of more
than 20 people. The com-
mittee included an inter-
nal side with full- and part-
time faculty, staff, college
foundation members and
a student. An external side

LNG: Company has paid for the sublease through November
Continued from Page 1A
Glick said the sublease
agreement includes no termi-
nation provision, other than
by the landlord in the event
the tenant defaults. He said
the company is winding down
its affairs and has paid the
sublease on the land through
November, the six months of
payment required by the sub-
lease upon termination. The
lease costs $129,000 annually.
Knight said the Port Com-
mission will need to direct
staff on what to do.
“I’m conident the Port
could in turn terminate its
lease with the state,” he said,
adding the Port could also try
to negotiate a lower rent with
the state or ind a new suitor
for the land.
Settlement nixed
Glick’s letter said the
termination of the lease
also voids the 2010 set-
tlement between Oregon
LNG, the Port and certain
commissioners.
Oregon LNG sued the
Port in 2009 after the agency
approved a 30-year sublease
extension with the company
but failed to extend the Port’s
lease with the Department of
State Lands amid concerns
over whether the county or
state was the rightful owner
of the land.

A judge ruled that the Port
had violated the sublease by
not extending the lease with
the state. The Port settled
with Oregon LNG, including
a gag order on commission-
ers at the time, to avoid pay-
ing damages. Bill Hunsinger
is the only standing com-
missioner affected by the
settlement.
Knight said the void-
ing of the settlement with
Oregon LNG releases the
Port from several onerous
requirements.
At any point in time, he
said, Oregon LNG could have

The Banker’s Suite,
which won the city’s Dr.
Edward Harvey Award for
historic preservation in 2007,
had been up for sale for $2
million. The building was
designed by architect John E.
Wicks after the great ire dev-
astated the Astoria National
Bank in 1922. Niemi and
Co. completed construction
in 1924.
“When it’s not for sale, I
want to sell it. And when it’s
for sale, I want to keep it,
because then you start real-
izing how nice of a building
it really is,” said Bright, who
lives in Kirkland, Washing-
ton, and has owned the build-
ing since 2005.
The Astoria Planning
Commission voted Tues-
day night for a conditional
use permit for the museum,
which is classiied as indoor
family entertainment in a
central commercial zone.

of selling it to the company.
“The most important com-
ponent of the settlement dic-
tated that the Port would
need to get written permis-
sion from Oregon LNG if it
wanted to do anything with
its land on the Skipanon Pen-
insula,” Knight said.
The lease became expo-
nentially more expensive
in 2012, when the state
increased the appraised value
of the land from $384,000
to $1.29 million. The lease
amount is 10 percent of the
appraised value annually.

ernment leaders from across
the county.
“This is one of the best
processes of all the ones
I’ve gone through,” Bak-
er-Monaghan said. “The
stakeholders committee was
so valuable, and all the input
from faculty and staff.”
In January, the college
narrowed the inalists to
four, including Breitmeyer;
Smith; Ron Liss, the former
vice president and special
adviser for workforce, com-
munity and economic devel-
opment at Cuyahoga Com-
munity College in Ohio; and
Christopher Dyer, the CEO
and president of the Univer-
sity of New Mexico-Gallup.
In March, the college nar-
rowed the ield to Breitmeyer
and Smith.
Director Anne Tea-
ford-Cantor said the board
heard every comment that
came in about the two inal-
ists, input she said was use-
ful despite the time it took to
process.
“We have to light the
ire and let the white smoke
(come) from the Sistine
Chapel,” she joked as the col-
lege board ended the meet-
ing Tuesday, and likely the
search for a new president.
