7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, MAY 1, 2018 Corps: Looking to be more sustainable Manzanita woman nominated to serve on DOGAMI board Continued from Page 1A different professional back- grounds and the time to give back,” she said. “Or maybe it’s because I have cookies at every meeting. You got to have cookies and coffee.” Whatever the reason, the effects of their efforts are extending past Tillamook County. It was volunteer corps members who worked with Johnson and Boone to pass a law allowing medical practitioners within 10 years of retirement, even if not cur- rently licensed, to join Med- ical Reserve Corps units and be legally protected — a move that has helped encour- age Medical Reserve Corps groups across the state. The team is sharing its public san- itation training and strategy with Multnomah County. “We definitely want to take this show on the road,” Kozlo- wski said. “There’s no point in reinventing the wheel.” And the group has had an opportunity to see the fruits of its labor. When a water spout ravaged downtown Manzanita in 2016, more than 60 Com- munity Emergency Response Team members were immedi- By BRENNA VISSER The Daily Astorian Brenna Visser/The Daily Astorian Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay President Linda Kozlowski is honored for her work. ately on scene. “I remember calling and asking what could we do, what could the state do to help?” Phelps said. But he was told it was under control. To Phelps, what appears to make the area so successful is a mix between an engaged cit- izenry and leadership. “If all my communities were as prepared as this com- munity, why that’d be a home run,” Phelps laughed. “I think most emergency management (teams) are one-person shops. No matter how good that one person is, you need connected citizens to make it work.” Long road There is still a long road ahead for the volunteer corps. A mass care plan has been created, but finding grants to fund all the plans and supplies detailed in it will always be an uphill battle. With most funding for emer- gency preparedness aimed toward municipalities, secur- ing government dollars can be a challenge. The corps is also looking for ways to be more sustain- able. Kozlowski is working on succession planning, so that when board members — most of whom are founding members — inevitably move on, knowledge won’t be lost and a new generation can take over. “We’re trying to find a way to not be people depen- dent, but position depen- dent. Really clearly define our roles,” she said. But no matter what the next 10 years hold, Kozlowski feels confident in one definite source of progress. “If it happened right now, in this room, you’d be better off than if you were some- where else,” she said of a disaster. “And that’s what it is about.” Linda Kozlowski, a Manzanita local who leads the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay, was nominated Monday to serve on the governing board for the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries. The decision by Gov. Kate Brown was announced by state Sen. Betsy John- son at the volunteer emer- gency preparedness group’s annual conference. If con- firmed by the state Senate, Kozlowski will be the first member with an emergency preparedness background to serve on the board. “She will be bringing a whole new dimension to DOGAMI,” Johnson said. “She will help humanize the work of DOGAMI by fac- toring in the emergency pre- paredness perspective.” Linda Kozlowski The governing board sets policy and oversees general operations for the Depart- ment of Geology and Min- eral Industries, an agency which focuses on providing earth science information to help inform land use and safety policies. “I’m just thrilled, over- whelmed,” Kozlowski said. “I think the emergency pre- paredness influence will be a huge asset.” New rules: The city is ‘crossing its t’s and dotting its i’s’ Continued from Page 1A said Mark Long, administrator of the Building Codes Divi- sion at the Department of Con- sumer and Business Services. So far, the Building Codes Division has identified 14 cit- ies and counties whose pro- grams are up for renewal in July that may be out of com- pliance. More jurisdictions could be identified as division officials review their programs throughout the rest of 2018, Sunderland said. The jurisdictions are Asto- ria, Dunes City, Estacada, Florence, Hood River, Jose- phine County, Lake County, Lakeside, Lebanon, Lincoln City, Malheur County, Phoe- nix, Reedsport and Veneta. City officials in Aurora and Clatskanie have said their jurisdictions also are out of compliance with the new rule. Their programs are not yet up for renewal. Astoria City Manager Brett Estes said the city no lon- ger uses third-party contrac- tors to administer its build- ing program. Building official Ben Small is a full-time city employee. When Estes came to the city over a decade ago, Astoria, Warrenton and Clatsop County all had contracts with one com- pany for building services. Astoria shifted the work to a city employee later, but con- tracted with the same company again to act as an interim offi- cial when the employee left. Now, however, the state’s rule change is mostly an issue of providing paperwork to the state to show Astoria is in com- pliance. The city maintains an intergovernmental agreement with Clatsop County for elec- trical inspections, a document Estes will have to provide to the state as well. He said the city is “crossing its t’s and dotting its i’s.” “At one point in time, it would have been more of an issue,” he said. Some of the counties and cities have relied on indepen- dent contractors to operate their building programs for up to 30 years to save the expense of hiring a building official and, in some cases, to achieve greater efficiency. During that period, the state has repeatedly approved their building pro- grams, city officials said. Now, the state is giving cit- ies such as Estacada only a month to outline how they plan to come into compliance with the new rule by January. One option that city is considering is to contract with Clackamas County, said Estacada City Manager Denise Carey. The county has indicated it’s equipped to handle the workload from Estacada, a city of about 3,000 people, Carey said. Contracting with the county would increase the number of steps applicants would need to take to obtain a building per- mit because they would need approval from both the county and the city. The turnaround time for issuing permits also is longer at the county than at the city, Carey said. Processing a residential permit application takes Estacada’s independent contractor, Northwest Code Professionals, three to seven days, whereas the turnaround time at the county is three to six weeks, she said. “It’s just the convenience. Here, with the third party, everything comes in and out of this office,” she said. “The service has been excellent over the years, and I hate to see us forced to give that up.” Several cities, including Estacada, have been discussing whether to challenge the state’s interpretation in court. State Sen. Arnie Roblan, D-Coos Bay, said several cities he represents are affected by the new rule, including Dunes City. “The question is why now, and I guess it is because the question got asked,” Roblan said. “It is creating a lot of controversy.” If the courts found that the justice department’s interpreta- tion of the constitution is cor- rect, it would require voter approval to change, he said. Bryan Hockaday, a spokes- man in Gov. Kate Brown’s office, said the governor’s regional solutions team is working with local communi- ties as the consumer and busi- ness services department helps municipalities comply with the justice department’s memo. “Already, DCBS has pro- vided a number of informa- tional resources to munici- palities and is committed to helping ensure a smooth and timely transition so building projects may move forward with little to no delay,” Hock- aday wrote in an email.
