2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, AUGUST 8, 2016 Cannon Beach adopts fi rst strategic plan resources to ensure that these priorities get done,” he said. The city’s top focus is afford- able housing, with goals that include adding 25 units by 2018. Offi cials also prioritized infra- structure planning and mainte- nance, emergency management, relationship with the commu- nity and effective government. City c ouncilors and staff removed the goal of temporar- ily suspending new vacation lottery rentals, a topic debated at Planning Commission meet- ings last month . At meetings in May, coun- cilors and city department direc- tors analyzed citizen survey results, discussed city issues, identifi ed priorities and set mea- surable goals for each priority. “This is a working docu- ment describing our council’s direction to staff and ourselves for the foreseeable future,” Councilor Mike Benefi eld said. Goals include establishing a mass care site at the city-owned South Wind property, decid- Some residents call for more public input By LYRA FONTAINE The Daily Astorian CANNON BEACH — The Cannon Beach City Council has adopted the city’s fi rst stra- tegic plan, though some resi- dents called for the council to wait another month to allow for more community input. “I am very proud of the council and staff and the amount of dedication and work they put into this,” City Manager Brant Kucera said after last Tuesday’s vote. “It’s the foundation we’re going to need to move forward as a community. There is no good reason to delay this.” The plan, a fi ve-year road- map for the city that will be revisited every two years, is a way to “align our human resources with our budgetary ing whether to purchase the elementary school site by the end of the year, creating more downtown parking, adopting fi nancial policies and more. Moving the goal of creating clearer short-term rental regula- tions from the “affordable hous- ing” priority to “effective gov- ernment” was another change before adopting the plan. The Planning Commis- sion no longer needs to con- sider the suspension of new short-term rental lottery per- mits at its upcoming meeting, since the council eliminated that part from the plan, City Planner Mark Barnes said. The commission could still consider moving the short-term rental program from the zoning code to a stand-alone ordinance at its August meeting. The strategic plan is not legally binding and is separate from the city’s comprehensive plan, City Attorney Tammy Herdener said. She said 85 to 90 percent of each item “will come before the public by law in the future as we implement the plan.” For example, the budget committee would vet the goal of saving money each year for South Wind infrastructure, and any zoning code change would go to the Planning Commission fi rst, Herdener said. “It will come back to the community,” City Councilor Wendy Higgins said. P ublic involvement The strategic plan was shared with the public at t wo open houses in July . Some residents criticized the timing of the open houses and the citizen survey. Jan Siebert-Wahrmund sug- gested the city allow another month for public input, and hold an evening open house for residents who work during the day, before adopting the plan. “This plan would have a substantial impact on our com- munity,” Siebert-Wahrmund PUBLIC MEETINGS TUESDAY Cannon Beach City Council, 5:30 p.m., work TUESDAY WEDNESDAY 67 55 An evening shower; otherwise, some clouds ALMANAC Astoria April 5, 1942 — July 18, 2016 Full Salem 57/76 Newport 52/62 Coos Bay 56/66 New Aug 24 John Day 47/72 La Grande 47/69 Baker 46/67 Alice May Schmitz Ontario 58/80 Bend 45/71 Astoria April 23, 1929 — Aug. 3, 2016 Burns 42/74 Klamath Falls 41/77 Lakeview 43/77 Ashland 55/83 Forecasts and graphics provided by AccuWeather, Inc. ©2016 Source: Jim Todd, OMSI TOMORROW'S TIDES Astoria / Port Docks Time 12:24 a.m. 12:13 p.m. Low 1.4 ft. 1.5 ft.

I know that people like to talk about things. Having a process that actu- ally counters one of the top- ics in the survey, which is rela- tionship with community, is disturbing.” “A survey is the only way of getting as much input as possible in a statistically valid method,” Kucera said.

The strategic plan open house was “poorly announced,” during the busiest week of the year and “explained the attempt of what I see as manipulation of the public,” Beck-Sweeney said. Kucera said the city adver- tised the open house in advance. City Councilor George Vetter said public input was intended to come from the survey, which had a 40 percent return rate. “The purpose of this open house was not necessarily for Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.
