2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 2017 Johnson, Boone to discuss fi re assessments at town hall The Daily Astorian SEASIDE — State Sen. Betsy Johnson , state Rep. Deb- orah Boone and the Oregon Department of Forestry will host a town hall Saturday in Seaside to discuss the Astoria District’s assessments for wild- fi re protection. The agency will be on hand to explain the assessment pro- cess and answer questions. The meeting is from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Seaside City Hall . The forestry department recently reviewed the existing Forest Patrol Assessments in the Astoria District and deter- mined that approximately 4,750 additional lots met the defi nition of forestland for the purpose of wildfi re protec- tion. The assessments are part of the funding structure for the wildfi re protection the agency provides. Foresters sent letters recently to residents inform- ing them that their properties would be subject to assessment. Whenever tax lots are added to the Forest Patrol Assessment, the total revenue received by the agency does not increase. Rather, the assessment paid by each landowner is more equi- tably distributed among prop- erties receiving fi re protection.
