2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, AUGUST 16, 2016 Seaside councilor seeks four more years Johnson campaigns for fi fth term By R.J. MARX The Daily Astorian Don Johnson SEASIDE — Seaside City Councilor Don John- son is seeking his fi fth term in November. Johnson, as council pres- ident, is second in command and the liaison between the mayor and the council. He is serving his 16th year on the council. “My wife Annie said to me, ‘Why are you doing this?’” Johnson, 64, said. “I said, ‘This is my hobby.’ She said, ‘When it’s not your hobby, that’s when you’re quitting.’” The lifelong Seaside resi- dent works as head custodian at John Jacob Astor Elemen- tary School. Johnson identifi ed hous- ing as the biggest issue fac- ing the city. “We’re trying to establish workforce hous- ing,” he said. “ We’ve worked very well to be come as pop- ular a destination as we are, but now we have to fi gure out how to get workforce housing so (employees) can live in the area and go to work.” Johnson said the proposed Seaside School District bond to move schools out of the tsu- nami inundation zone was not a City Council issue. Instead, he invited an increased state and federal emergency pre- paredness role. “Look at Japan, how bad they were hit — and they were prepared,” he By R.J. MARX The Daily Astorian SEASIDE — Seth Mor- risey joined the Seaside City Council two years ago, replacing longtime councilor Stubby Lyons. Morrisey HAS announced his intention to run for a second term in a district representing East Wahanna, that is, “everything up on the hill” east of U.S. Highway 101. Morrisey, who at 33 is the youngest councilor, said he has enjoyed his service . “In pol- itics, you’re always going to make someone mad, but I just try to do my best, and look at the issues objectively,” he said. “I’m trying to represent the people.” A Seaside High School graduate , Morrisey studied business at Lane Commu- nity College and then Port- land State University. He owns and manages a video production company and a search engine optimization company based in Portland. His wife, Aimee, is owner of Life Naturally, an online health food store. “Aside from being gone for college, I’ve been here all my life,” Morrisey said. “I’m the youngest guy on the board Kelly Edward Smotherman by a long shot. I think I bring a different perspective.” He said the current board Seth is a good mix. Morrisey “Young peo- ple some- times think they know every- thing,” he said. “It’s good to have people with experience to balance that.” The most contentious issue he’s considered so far was a proposal to charge panhandlers and street mer- chants a licensing fee. “I don’t think it’s heading any- where,” he said. “I think the opposition was really out- spoken and there was no one really in support of it.” Warrenton June 26, 1963 — Aug. 9, 2016 Kelly Edward Smotherman, 53, of Warren- cial fi shing for over 30 years, with most recently ton, Oregon, passed away on Aug. 9, 2016, in being the owner and captain of The Fate Hunter Valdez, Alaska, from complications resulting out of Warrenton, Oregon.

The plan could be funded by an increase in the city’s room tax rate. Despite past discussion, it is unlikely the city will pursue an itinerant merchant ordinance, he said. An ordinance would have created a fee schedule for street vendors, performers and others. “I’ll just do my best,” John- son said. “Go to meetings and try to make the right decisions.
