10A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 2016 Port: ‘This is an elegant way to solve the problem’ Continued from Page 1A Commission. The expansion provides more processing and cold storage space. Port staff have argued the companies need to expand and diversify to survive in a consoli- dating seafood industry. The lease provides the Port with nearly $25,855 a month. Da Yang receives rent credits of $1,200 a month through 2027 for improvements made to the property. The ish processor also gets credits of $1,700 a month for 48 months to offset repairs to the crumbling docks that the company had performed around 2013 without the Port’s permis- sion. The work was done before much of the current commis- sioners and staff had joined the Port. Clean enough “This original lease with Da Yang was messy, as are all exist- ing leases with the Port,” said Executive Director Jim Knight, adding the amended lease helps the agency set things right. Shane Jensen, the Port’s property manager, said the lease solves several issues for the Port, from establishing prop- erty boundaries and a fair mar- ket lease rate in the warehouse to providing the agency badly needed revenue to help repair issues on Pier 2. “We’ve always been con- tractually obligated to repair Pier 2, and our inability to do it has caused problems,” Jensen said. While the Port can’t ascer- tain how Da Yang did the con- struction on Pier 2 without Port’s sign-off, he said, the lease pro- vides a cost-share for the work. Da Yang had made multi- ple failed attempts to expand, build a cold storage and estab- lish a freight depot at the Port. The space the company is tak- ing over has gone through mul- tiple ownership changes, and Knight said it hasn’t been used since late summer or early fall of last year. The space was most recently under United Coast Seafoods, a subsidiary of the now-defunct CounterPoint Financial. Coun- terPoint is liquidating its assets to avoid bankruptcy, and Da Yang has an agreement to buy the equipment United Coast left in the space. Jensen said letting Da Yang buy the equipment from United Coast keeps the Port from potentially having to ight it out with United Coast in bank- ruptcy court and spend large sums removing the equipment. “This is an elegant way to solve the problem,” he said. Longshore concerns “You don’t even know what you just did, buddy,” Hunsinger told Knight as the meeting ended and longshoremen exited en masse. “You’re going to see pickets.” Chris Connaway, president of the local longshoremen chap- ter, spoke in opposition to the lease along with two other union representatives, lanked by even more members in the audience. Connaway said Da Yang wants to establish a hake (Paciic whiting) facility bringing in ish on the docks and sending them out on refrigerated containers in the Puget Sound region. He said longshoremen should load and unload any oceangoing cargo, and asked the Port to include a statement in the lease with Da Yang reafirming the agency’s prior labor agreements with the union. “This is for the Port’s pro- tection,” he said. “If this goes through like this, we’re going to be in arbitration. It’s going to cost the Port lawyer money. We’re going to ight this tooth and nail.” Joel Bergeman, a construc- tion contractor who does work for Da Yang, spoke in favor of Da Yang’s expansion. He said the company has always paid its bills and hired local, often union, tradespeople. Commission opposition Fulton and Hunsinger both said they were not opposed to Da Yang’s lease amendment, but wanted to table the issue and have the Port’s attorney, who was not present Wednes- day, look over the lease. Their motion to table the lease failed, with the two voting to table the lease amendment, and Raichl, Campbell and Mushen voting against tabling the issue. Hunsinger, a former long- shoremen and commercial ish- erman who has repeatedly opposed Da Yang’s attempts to expand, questioned whether the Port should pay for any of Da Yang’s previous unapproved work on Pier 2. Jensen said the period of work done by Da Yang was so long, that the Port staff at the time must have consented. Mushen said one argument is that the work Da Yang did beneited the Port as well as the company. Campbell added that the Port should also consider the liability the agency faces by leasing docks in such poor condition. Edward Stratton/The Daily Astorian The Port of Astoria Commission approved an amended lease expanding Da Yang Seafoods’ space in the Pier 2 fish-pro- cessing warehouse by more than 170 percent. Port approves emergency repairs to Pier 2 Agency under state pressure to make ixes by July By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian The Port of Astoria Commission con- ditionally approved an emergency expen- diture of up to $350,000 to ix the most critical issues on Pier 2. The state Department of Transpor- tation warned the Port that a structurally deicient portion of the eastern dock skirt- ing the Pier 2 ish-processing warehouse might have to close by July unless signif- icant repairs are made. The state recom- mended a 3-ton weight limit on the dock. Shane Jensen, the Port’s property man- ager, said the ish-processing season starts in May. He said there is a strong chance of interruption because of the restric- tions. Repairing the dock enough to lift the weight restrictions and keep the east- ern dock open will cost about $60,000, he said, with another $160,000 to $200,000 needed to ix the most critical issues on the western side of Pier 2, such as missing posts underneath the dock. The Port has received two bids so far on the work, but needs at least three as part of competitive bidding requirements for public agencies. Jensen said the emer- gency motion protects the Port from lia- bility if it awards the project with only two bidders. A third bid Bigger picture “By the time we’re done with Pier 2, there will be far more than $350,000,” Jensen said, adding the Port is trying to break the pier’s repair down into more manageable pieces. The Port applied for $1.5 million through the Department of Transporta- LISTINGS T HURSDAY E VENING (2) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (9) (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 KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KRCW 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) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (3) (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 PM to go, although he is still seeking more bids for the project. He said getting the permits for repairs is what could hold the process up. The scope of the work is being based off a report by PND Engineers Inc., which brought in native Astorian and marine engineer Bill Gunderson three years ago after the Port declared an emergency on the west side of Pier 2. The report found the west side in critical to good condition, largely because of deferred maintenance. The Port Commission’s emergency motion included an amendment that staff would spend at least another 10 days try- ing to get another bid. “I believe we owe it to the community to get another bid,” said Commissioner Stephen Fulton, asking if staff could delay the motion for another 10 days. Jensen said both contractors, Berg- erson Construction Co. and Columbia Dockworks Inc. out of Astoria, are ready THE DAILY ASTORIAN A Joshua Bessex/The Daily Astorian Erick Cain and Gene Leon, both with the Oregon Department of Trans- portation bridge inspection team, paddle in a small boat while inspecting Pier 2 in January. tion’s ConnectOregon VI infrastructure grant program to repair the western docks, where commercial ishing boats pull up to deliver their catch to ish processors. A previous ConnectOregon grant paid for a new portion of dock on the pier’s eastern side. The Port is also tallying up damage to the pier from storm surges in February, with hopes of assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Execu- tive Director Jim Knight has said the Port already has $10 million worth of claims with the agency, for anything from storm damage to the piers and marina to silting in the water because of debris runoff com- ing down the Columbia River. Jensen said the emergency appro- priations for Pier 2 would come out of the Port’s special revenue fund, which includes tax revenues from timber sales. “We’re essentially borrowing money from ourselves to initiate this emergency repair pending the FEMA reimburse- ment,” Knight said.
