2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, MAY 14, 2018 Astoria still seeking community development director applicants By KATIE FRANKOWICZ The Daily Astorian Astoria has gone nearly seven months without a full-time community devel- opment director. City Manager Brett Estes had hoped to have someone in the position this spring. Two candidates traveled to Astoria in February for interviews and also attended a public meet-and-greet, but the city ultimately decided to reopen the search and see who else might apply. Now, a job posting for the position is back up on the city’s website. The salary is advertised at $83,514 to $101,512 a year and applications will be accepted through the end of the month. Estes hopes to get someone in place by July. The position has been vacant since former director Kevin Cronin left in Octo- ber. He works as a consul- tant in the area and has done work for the Port of Astoria. He is also acting as Warren- ton’s interim planning direc- tor — a position he took on after former director Skip Urling retired in March. Warrenton City Manager Linda Engbretson plans to interview three candidates for the job soon and hopes to fill the position by mid- June. Two of the candi- dates already live in Clat- sop County. Cronin has not expressed interest in the job. In Astoria, Estes has filled in as interim commu- Coast Guard rescues capsized kayaker from Willapa Bay nity development director and brought on former city planner and former Cannon Beach mayor Mike Mor- gan as interim senior plan- ner. Another former city planner, Rosemary John- son, is working as a consul- tant on various community development projects. The city has also utilized ser- vices available through an agreement with the Colum- bia River Estuary Study Taskforce. The costs of supplement- ing the department through these other measures while the city looks for a new director remain well below what Astoria would be paying if the position had already been filled, Finance Director Susan Brooks noted. The Daily Astorian An overturned kayaker was rescued Sunday in Willapa Bay. The kayaker used a cell- phone to call 911 just before 5 p.m. The Coast Guard and a Pacific County beach rescue team responded.
