Seaside councilor seeks four more years
Johnson
campaigns for
fi fth term

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

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.”

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.
