Gearhart approves city budget
By R.J. MARX
The Daily Astorian
GEARHART — City
councilors
unanimously
adopted the city’s budget
Wednesday night.
Among the additions ,
the City Council approved
hiring a full-time entry-
level firefighter at a salary
of $40,000 per year, with
an additional $35,000 des-
ignated for benefits and a
retirement plan. A paid fire-
fighter could show a marked
change in the department,
which has primarily relied
on volunteers.
“We’re looking for the
best fit in Gearhart,” City
Administrator Chad Sweet,
a fire department volun-
teer, said of a potential
candidate.
He added he expected
the search to include both
people from within and out-
side the community.
With a general fund of
almost $2 million, Gear-
hart’s budget is $300,000
higher than the previous
year, Sweet said.
Increased revenues come
from an increase in home
values of between 2 and
2.5 percent, with the addi-
tion of funds from the tax-
ing and fees associated with
short-term rentals. About 84
homeowners have signed
on to the city’s short-term
rental program in the res-
idential zone, with about
285 short-term rentals for
all zones, equating to about
15 to 20 percent of total
dwelling units in Gearhart.
The city’s permanent
rate is $1.005 per thousand
dollars of assessed home
value. Also included in
the new fiscal year’s bud-
get are slight increases in
Gearhart’s unfunded lia-
bilities for the state Public
Employees Retirement Sys-
tem of about 3 to 4 percent,
Sweet said.
The budget was passed
without comment from the
public or councilors.
“This is my first time
working on the city bud-
get and I thought the pro-
cess went very well,”
Brown said after the meet-
ing. “Our budget committee
was great to work with and
our city administrator does
an excellent job of manag-
ing the budget and expenses
each year. The city is in a
strong financial position.”

Failing culvert leads to closure
of Highway 202 to large trucks
The Daily Astorian
A failing culvert has led to
a closure of a small section of
Oregon Highway 202 to large
commercial trucks 2 miles
south of Astoria.
The Oregon Department
of Transportation closed the
road Tuesday to all but cars
and light trucks with 24-hour
fl agging. Work to replace the
culvert will likely take two
days and could begin next
week, ODOT spokesman Lou
Torres said.
When work begins, the road
will be closed to all traffi c.
