5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, 2016 Horning: City needs to take action Continued from Page 1A Two open seats in Astoria AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta The FBI (headquarters in Washington, D.C., pictured here) is warning state officials to boost their election security in light of evidence that hackers breached the election systems of a pair of states. Hackers: State data has been breached before Continued from Page 1A In Oregon, voter registra- tion information is considered public record. Although there are exemptions to releasing certain details submitted by voters to the state, the public already has a right to access the dates of birth, home addresses, party affiliation and voting histories for most of the state’s registered voters, according to Atkins. If you are a corrections or police officer, or if public access to your voter registra- tion information otherwise poses a risk to your safety, a county clerk or the Depart- ment of Justice can seal that information, Atkins said. Although voters can access their own registration informa- tion online, members of the public seeking voter registra- tion information must go to a county clerk’s office to view registration information or file a public records request with the particular county or the state. Concerns have been raised in recent years that such infor- mation could be accessed through states’ centralized databases and used for finan- cial or political gain. There have also been wor- ries that voter registration databases could be altered — artificially inflated with “ghost” voters or that actual voters could be deleted from the official list. But Atkins said that the risk to voters’ personal infor- mation being accessed surrep- titiously is low. “At this point we feel that we are pretty secure,” Atkins said. She added that while her agency took the threat of a breach of personal information “very, very seriously,” voters should not be concerned about the outcome of elections based on possible threats to personal information. The database contain- ing voter information is sep- arate from the system that records votes, which in turn is not connected to the internet, Atkins said. Among other duties, the secretary of state’s infor- mation technology employ- ees monitor who “pings” or tries to access information maintained by the agency. IT employees also monitor sud- den changes in voter registra- tion records. Atkins said she did not “like to talk about the specifics” of the security mea- sures the agency takes. The Secretary of State’s Office also has a security plan that it shares with the state’s chief information officer, Atkins said. But state data has been breached in the past. The Secretary of State Office’s business registry and campaign finance databases were breached in early 2014 and the Oregon Employment Department was subject to a similar breach later that year. Atkins said that after the 2014 breach, there was “some pretty good intelligence work by our folks about what was needed to prevent that from happening again.” The Capital Bureau is a collaboration between EO Media Group and Pamplin Media Group. Voters in November will fill two open seats on the Astoria City Council. City Councilor Russ Warr chose not to run for a fourth term representing the city’s east side, while Coun- cilor Drew Herzig, who rep- resents the south side, is mov- ing to Massachusetts and will not seek a second term. Bruce Jones, a former com- mander of U.S. Coast Guard Sector Columbia River, and Cory Pederson, a music teacher and conductor, are campaigning to replace Warr in Ward 4. Tom Brownson, a retired contractor, is the only candi- date to file and will succeed Herzig in Ward 2. A contested race in Warrenton In Warrenton, City Com- missioner Pam Ackley is fac- ing opposition for her Position 1 seat from challenger Ryan Lampi, who serves on the Planning Commission. Lampi, a project manager at Big River Construction Inc. in Astoria, graduated from Warrenton High School and Oregon State University. His term on the Planning Commis- sion is slated to end December 2019. Ackley, a Realtor with Windermere, was appointed last year to fill the vacancy left when Mark Kujala was elected mayor in November 2014. Meanwhile, commission- ers Henry Balensifer and Tom Dyer are unopposed for re-election in Positions 2 and 3.

Wouldn’t it be some- thing to have an earthquake hit on a weekend, when no kids are in school, no lives are saved through the school dis- trict and then we let every- body else in town die because we haven’t built bridges yet? It’s well-meaning, but it’s backward.” Whether schools or bridges take precedence, the city needs to take action. “The tsunami is possibly going to happen in our lives,” he said. “We need to be ready for it. We’re morally obligated to get on with it.” City Councilor Randy Frank, meanwhile, is running for re-election in Wards 1 and 2 and Councilor Seth Morrisey is bidding for a second term in Ward 4. Derrick DePledge and Erick Bengel contributed to this report. Seaside risk LISTINGS W EDNESDAY E VENING L could be completed at a cost of about $50 million and save thousands of lives, he said. The city should start looking at funding mechanisms now, with options including added fees for water bills, road levies or outside funds from state and federal governments. “If we can’t get money from outside, we need to tax ourselves,” he said. Seaside needs to show some “skin in the game” when approaching state and fed- eral agencies for funds, Horn- ing said, “to show we’re doing everything we can and still can’t pull it off.” A Seaside School District bond vote is expected to ask voters for nearly $100 mil- lion to raise money for a new school campus outside the tsu- nami zone. Horning is not sure that’s not putting the cart before the horse. “I think the school bond ought to be delayed until the In Seaside, Horning likened tsunami preparedness to brac- ing for war. “The city has done things the way they’re accustomed to doing them,” Horning said. “This calls for a different type of thinking. The risk of the next tsunami is so imminent that we need to make this the equivalent of a war footing.” Horning was elected to the Sunset Empire Park and Recre- ation District board eight years ago and continues to serve in that role. He is a Seaside plan- ning commissioner and former member of the parks advisory committee. A member of the board of directors of the North Coast Land Conservancy, he is a founder of the city’s tsunami advisory group. THE DAILY ASTORIAN A Horning works as a geo- logical consultant based in Seaside. “The tsunami advisory group gave the city of Seaside a tsunami strategic investment plan,” he said. “It established the scenario we thought they should be planning for. We gave them a timeline, we gave them a budget and proposed a mechanism in which the city could raise funds. They said ‘thanks,’ and the next words out of their mouths were, ‘now let’s move on to more import- ant stuff.’” Replacing the city’s bridges could save thousands of lives, he said. “Right now there are so many bridges that will col- lapse people will be stranded and won’t be able to get to safety,” he said. “They will be killed. The obvious thing to do is construct bridges as fast as you can.” Replacement of the city’s most vulnerable crossings Evening listings WEDNESDAY A UGUST 31 A - Charter Astoria/ Seaside - L - Charter Long Beach 6:30 7 PM 7:30 8 PM 8:30 9 PM 9:30 10 PM 10:30 11 PM 11:30 KATU News at 6 Jeopardy!
