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-

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.

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.
