Frank hopes to make impact in Seaside
Details of Seaside
bond vote coming
in September
District hopes
to move three
school campuses
By R.J. MARX
The Daily Astorian
SEASIDE — Seaside
School District Superinten-
dent-emeritus Doug Dougherty
said details of a bond vote for
a new campus will be unveiled
next week.
In announcing the Sept.
1 meeting, Dougherty also
thanked Weyerhaeuser Co. for
a gift of 80 acres to be used for
the relocation.
A $128.8 million bond mea-
sure to relocate the schools on a
hill east of Seaside Heights Ele-
mentary School failed in 2013.
The amount of the new
bond will be guided by results
from a polling fi rm, Dougherty
said in July, and will likely be
less than $100 million.
The proposal will be shared
at the board meeting and it’s
always possible that the board
may change the presented lan-
guage, Dougherty said .
According to Dougherty, the
district “faces a predicament
without precedent or equivalent
Restaurateur
shares recipe
for city success
in Oregon.” Three of the dis-
trict’s four schools are located
just a few feet above sea level
within the tsunami inundation
zone.
Three schools — Broad-
way Middle, Seaside High
School and Gearhart Elemen-
tary School — are too far from
high ground to be evacuated
safely in the event of a Casca-
dia earthquake and tsunami .
In a letter to Weyerhaeuser
President and Chief Executive
Offi cer Doyle Simons, Dough-
erty conveyed gratitude for the
company’s “community spirit
and corporate philanthropy.”
The parcel is the only land
meeting the district’s require-
ments that will not liquefy
during an earthquake and is 80
to 100 feet above sea level.
The gift “will make an enor-
mous difference for students
in years to come,” he wrote.
“We are overwhelmed with
the magnitude of the gift com-
ing at such a crucial time in the
community.
The land donation is not
contingent on passage of the
bond.
The meeting will be held
at 6 p.m. Sept. 1 at the Seaside
School District offi ce at 1801 S.

‘There’s a
learning
curve,
fi nding out
how the city
operates.’
By R.J. MARX
The Daily Astorian
SEASIDE — With the
annual Hood to Coast relay
in Seaside this weekend,
city offi cials are hoping for
a positive partnership with
organizers.
Flashback a year ago when
a massive storm wreaked
havoc on the event. In the
aftermath City Council mem-
bers sought greater account-
ability and communication
with organizers.
City Councilor Randy
Frank was among the most
vocal council members in
calling the organizers to task
for bad behavior on the part of
participants and poor commu-
nication by organizers.
“Most people are pretty
good and follow the rules, but
there’s always the 3 to 5 per-
cent that are wild and crazy
and don’t comply,” Frank said .
But Frank wants it made
clear he doesn’t want to see
Hood to Coast leave town. “I
think the event has improved
every year,” he said. “It’s
another feather in the cap of
Seaside, a national event that
is held here.”

before running for City Council
Wards 1 and 2, from the Cove
to downtown.
Housing is a major issue in
Seaside, he said, with a lack
of rentals, affordable and oth-
erwise. To meet the need, he
said the council could pro-
pose expanding urban growth
boundaries to allow more
housing.
The city must also address
water and sewer infrastructure
needs.
Emergency preparedness
is always on the city’s radar,
Frank said. “We’re proactive
about getting maps out and get-
ting people aware of the danger
and what to do in case of a tsu-
nami, ” he said.
Tsunamis in Japan and Thai-
land shed new light on what
could happen here, he said.
But those who buy in Sea-
side should be prepared to
assume the risks. If those peo-
ple living on the beach were
Frank is bidding for his sec-
ond term on the City Coun-
cil. “I’m concerned about our
town,” he said. “I’ve lived here
51 years. I’d like to be able to
impact what goes on.”
His fi rst term was a little
like going to school, Frank said.
“There’s a learning curve, fi nd-
ing out how the city operates,”
he said. “I was intrigued by
that and willing to put my time
and effort in to see what that
entailed. I don’t claim to have
arrived yet, but I’ve learned to
see how the internal workings
happen.”
A businessman in Cannon
Beach for many years, he and
his wife Darlene purchased
Norma’s Seafood and Steak in
2001.
Frank served two years as
president of the Seaside Down-
town Development Association
and on the Convention Cen-
ter Commission for 10 years
given the option to move up
on the hill or stay by the beach,
they would likely still choose
to live by the beach, he said,
even knowing the dangers of
an earthquake or tsunami.
Replacing Avenue U Bridge
for seismic safety is a priority,
he said. “Part of the hold-up
is the state is real funny about
addressing that intersection,
what they will and won’t do,”
he said.
The bridge will also be inte-
gral in tying in to a trail loop
and sidewalks throughout the
city.
While he said the city
does not have a direct role in
the school bond, its timing
impacted his decision to advo-
cate a room tax hike rather than
a bond to fi nance proposed
convention center upgrades.
Frank said he wanted to see
the schools moved, but hopes
the bond will be “so people
will vote it in. People have to
feel (Superintendent) Doug
(Dougherty) and the school dis-
trict have done due diligence in
controlling the costs.”
Frank said he enjoys
communication with his
constituents.
“Once people know you’re
on the council they will talk to
you and bring up issues,” he
said. “It’s opened up a lot of
topics and concerns that people
have that I wouldn’t otherwise
have known.”
