What are you doing to beat the heat?
“Normally we put our
chairs in the river
and sit in them. But
since we’re here, we
went for a walk.”
“Staying inside. I live
in a basement so it’s
nice and cool. And
having ice cream.”
“Drinking lots of water.
Trying to fi nd a shady
spot outside. Keeping
my house cold by keep-
ing my blinds closed
during the day. Once the
sun goes down, opening the
windows and turning on the fans.”
Cathy Batchelor,
Chehalis, Washington

ria Warming Center operates
during the winter months.
Many of the complaints
have to do with last year’s
operations, said Astoria
Warming Center Board Presi-
dent Dan Parkison. The warm-
ing center’s board, after some
community outreach , has pro-
posed a number of changes
to their operation to address
neighborhood concerns. The
center did not do a good job
of listening to the community
before, he said, a misstep the
board is trying to correct.
The warming center now
operates a booth at the Asto-
ria Sunday Market to answer
questions or fi eld complaints,
and, in its application to the
Planning Commission, out-
lined a number of ways the
center plans to or has already
addressed neighborhood con-
cerns. Parkison said issues
that came out of last week’s
public testimony, such as the
revelation that people were
camping in their cars in the
church parking lot and being
disruptive to a nearby bed-
and-breakfast , will further
inform how the board man-
ages the center this winter.
“This is a conditional use
permit going forward, after
we listened to the neighbor-
hood,” he said.
Dulcye Taylor, president
of the downtown association,
said she thinks the neighbors,
the association and the center
can come to an agreement.
“A meeting that didn’t
happen the fi rst time, could
happen the second time,” she
said.

The decision on whether
to allow the Astoria Warm-
ing Center to operate out of
the First United Method-
ist Church’s basement for
another year has been delayed
again.
The warming center will
now have until Sept. 6 to meet
with neighbors and the Astoria
Downtown Historic District
Association and craft a “good
neighbor” agreement that out-
lines how the center would
address a variety of concerns
about how it operates and the
people it welcomes.
The Astoria Planning
Commission decided Tuesday
night to continue deliberating
on the warming center’s appli-
cation for a one-year condi-
tional use permit at a special
meeting in September follow-
ing a discussion between City
Manager Brett Estes, warm-
ing center board members and
downtown association board
members.
Under this proposal, the
good neighbor agreement
would inform the Planning
C ommission’s decision; it
would not be a condition of
approval. The commission-
ers had been concerned that
by requiring a good neigh-
bor agreement as a condition
of approval, they were putting
veto power of the warming
center’s application into the
hands of the downtown asso-
ciation if the groups could not
come to an agreement.
If the groups are unable to
come up with a good neighbor
agreement before the Sept. 6
meeting, the Planning Com-
mission will make its deci-
sion based on the informa-
tion already provided by city
staff and by the community at
a public hearing in July .
Commissioners
Daryl
Moore and Kent Easom have
both indicated they will likely
vote to deny the application
— they voted against continu-
ing deliberations to Septem-
ber . They said that while they
support the mission of the
warming center, the neighbor-
hood on Franklin Avenue is
not the right location. Com-
missioner Sean Fitzpatrick
was not present at Tuesday’s
meeting, but has recused him-
self from discussions in the
past and submitted testimony
against the center, saying it
threatens the safety and liv-
ability of the neighborhood.
He is one of the owners of the
Illahee Apartments across the
street from the First United
Methodist Church.
The rest of the commission
— David Pearson, Jan Mitch-
ell, Jennifer Cameron-Lattek
and Brookley Henri — all say
they are “leaning on the side
of approval.” They voted in
favor of waiting until Septem-
ber to make a fi nal decision on
the conditional use permit.
