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.

call for more
public input

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

Survey criticized
Siebert-Wahrmund said the
survey was not “real public
involvement.”
Mayor Sam Steidel also
opposed the survey.
“I don’t put a whole lot of
weight in surveys because I
know that surveys muddle
things,” Steidel said. “I grew
up in Cannon Beach, I know
Cannon Beach. 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.
