9A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 2017 Seaside: Additions, changes to plan can come at any time Manager Mark Winstanley said. “The other agencies don’t get that.” Southeast Seaside’s infra- structure goals, prepared in a May goal-setting session, include a pedestrian bike bridge, parks projects and upgrades to unincorporated properties in the area. Because part of the land is owned by the county, those areas would need to be annexed into the city. Annexation would require approval from the Clatsop County Board of Commissioners. “Typically, counties are very supportive if you’re doing infrastructure,” Elaine Howard of Howard Consultants said. “And 90-something percent of your plan is infrastructure.” Spending decisions can be changed as long as their cost Continued from Page 1A Using tax increment financ- ing, funding comes through increases in assessed values of local properties. As new development arrives and exist- ing properties are improved, assessments rise and see prop- erty tax increases. Property taxes on the growth in assessed value in the urban renewal area are frozen and increases are allocated to the city’s urban renewal agency and not the taxing districts. Subsequent improvements can lead to higher home values and in turn higher assessments, ultimately generating more funds for the urban renewal district. “As the assessed value grows in the district, only the urban renewal agencies can tax against that increase,” City does not exceed the debt the agency can incur, Howard said. The city is limited to proj- ects listed in the city’s urban renewal plan. Members of the commis- sion considered both 20- and 25-year scenarios. A 20-year timeline would have yielded a maximum indebtedness of $37.6 million; maximum indebtedness using a 25-year urban renewal dis- trict reaches $62.4 million. “It’s a marked difference between 20 and 25 years,” Winstanley said. Bridge upgrades by them- selves could consume a large portion of the project fund, Howard said. “You’ve got those bridge repairs, which really may be a top priority,” Howard said. “But they’re $26 million. That’s a lot of money. Port: Balanced budget proposed legal issues regarding its Pier 3 stormwater system and an Oregon State Bar investiga- tion into an anonymous com- plaint filed against Port Prop- erty and Contracts Director Shane Jensen. Fulton recommended about $368,000 worth of cuts, includ- ing a $200,000 reduction in the Port’s staffing. He also called for an additional $200,000 to be allocated for a legal fund. The Port is involved in two active lawsuits surrounding the Astoria Riverwalk Inn, one as a defendant being sued by the spurned potential opera- tor Param Hotel Corp., and another as a plaintiff suing the heavily indebted former opera- tor, Brad Smithart. “To keep the Port solvent, I think we have to go through this line by line, and make cuts in this budget,” Hunsinger said, claiming the Port does not have the funds to match any grants it might receive. The budget staff proposed is balanced and includes the match for several state and federal grants. Staff proposed $100,000 for legal expenses in the coming year, a signifi- cant drop from past budgets. But Hunsinger claimed the Port would need much more, saying the Port has potential Fulton also called for the budget committee to eliminate any revenue from the cost- share staff has proposed to charge tenants being serviced by the Pier 3 stormwater treat- ment project once it becomes operational. Fulton, who along with Hunsinger has opposed the plan, claims there is no basis for charging tenants. Port Executive Director Jim Knight said that although nobody likes the additional cost, there are no tenants in the area affected by the stormwa- ter denying their responsibil- ity to help pay for stormwater treatment. “Why would they not pay, unless there are com- missioners encouraging them not to pay?” he asked. In other news: • Lee announced his resig- nation from the budget com- mittee. He took over earlier this year as chairman for John Lansing, who resigned after Fulton called him a stooge of the staff. Lee said he’s disap- pointed in the Port Commis- sion’s lack of oversight on lim- iting staffing costs, and said the budget committee’s role is not just to rubber stamp staff’s budget. • Daly announced her res- ignation, as well, saying the next Port Commission should choose the next budget com- mittee, adding her name would be back in the running. 70 Help Wanted 70 Help Wanted 70 Help Wanted Continued from Page 1A John Raichl, his replacement Frank Spence, Cindy Daly and committee Chairman Richard Lee wanted to recommend the budget. But Port Commission- ers Stephen Fulton and Bill Hunsinger, who have been crit- ical of Port staff and manage- ment, blocked the move. Ful- ton voted “no” and Hunsinger abstained.

And that’s an opportunity for us.” Up to $7.5 million is tar- geted for building improve- ments and business assis- tance in the area, according to Howard. Additions or changes to the plan can come at any time. “This gives us the most flexibility in my mind, and the most options,” City Coun- cilor Steve Wright said of the 25-year plan unanimously endorsed by Seaside Improve- ment Commission members. City staff and consultants plan a briefing with the county Board of Commissioners on Tuesday and will seek county approval at the commission’s July 26 meeting in Astoria. Seaside’s Planning Com- mission will review the plan for conformance to the city’s comprehensive plan, How- ard said. The City Council will hold a formal hearing Aug. 14.
