Corps: Looking to be more sustainable Manzanita woman
nominated to serve

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

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.”

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.
Katie Frankowicz of The
Daily Astorian contributed to
this report.
