Yes For Astoria Kids, a political action committee created to support the school district’s $70 million bond, has put out
signs, posters, social media posts and videos.
School bond: ‘They laid out a path to victory’
Continued from Page 1A
Construction, co-owned by
Warrenton-Hammond School
Board member Greg Morrill.
It has also received a contri-
bution from the Oregon Asso-
ciation of Realtors, which has
donated to both campaigns,
and expects to receive dona-
tions from school district
employee groups.
Debbie Morrow, Warren-
ton-Hammond School Board
chairwoman and director of
the school district’s PAC, said
Warrenton’s campaign never
planned on raising more than
$10,000 and is trying to remain
low-key.
“We know our parents,” she
said. “We’re reaching out to our
parents in a way that resonates
with Warrenton.”
Both campaigns have been
advised by Jeremy Wright of
Wright Public Affairs, a firm
specializing in bond cam-
paigns. David Oser, director of
the Astoria PAC, said Wright
set the budget.
“They laid out a path to vic-
tory,” Oser said. “It is really
based on the size, the number
of household voters, how many
you have to reach.”
While the Astoria campaign
retained Wright’s services, he
provided some pro bono advice
to Warrenton on messaging.
“It sounds like they’re taking a
more grassroots approach,” he
said.

Yes for Warrenton-Hammond Kids, a political action com-
mittee created to support passage of the school district’s
$38.5 million bond, has so far raised $4,700 for advertising.
While raising money in
school bonds is important,
Wright said the ones that pass
are when voters understand
the need and can afford the tax
increase.
“You win these things by
having a two-way conversation
with voters,” he said.
Astoria’s bond would pay
for $45 million in moderniza-
tion and security improvements
at Astoria Middle School, $20
million at Astoria High School
and $9 million at John Jacob
Astor Elementary School.
Lewis and Clark Elementary
School and Capt. Robert Gray
School would receive smaller
improvements.
Astoria voters last approved
$21.4 million in bonds in
2000 to build Lewis and Clark
and improve the high school.
The bonds have decreased in
cost through refinancing and
increases in property values,
and are now estimated to cost
$1.83 per $1,000 of assessed
value. The new bonds would
begin after the older ones
expire in 2020, raising taxes to
$2.83 per $1,000 of assessed
property value.
Warrenton’s $38.5 million
bond would fund the purchase
of a new master campus out
of the flood plain and tsunami
inundation zone, while building
a new middle school to relieve
crowding at Warrenton Grade
School. It would raise property
taxes by an estimated $2.03 per
$1,000 of assessed value.
Warrenton’s bond would be
the first of three over the next
14 years to move all the dis-
trict’s schools to higher ground.
School leaders hope Warren-
ton’s increasing population
and home prices will gradually
lower the per capita tax burden
on voters over time.
Morrow sees the Warren-
ton bond as an easier sell,
between the visible overcrowd-
ing and the tsunami dangers. As
a regional center of affordable
housing, Warrenton grew from
4,100 people in 2000 to nearly
5,400 people last year, accord-
ing to Portland State University
researchers, and is expected to
add another 2,000 residents by
2035.
Warrenton Grade School
reached more than 800 stu-
dents this year, one of the five
most-populous K-8 campuses
in the state, and has required six
portable trailers to help house
students.
“I think anyone that knows
our school district and how
well we’ve managed the school
facilities, with the growth that
Warrenton has had and will
continue to have, Warren-
ton absolutely needs a new
school,” Morrow said.
Still, Morrow has spo-
ken with people who sup-
port moving schools to higher
ground but will not back the
bond because they are on fixed
incomes and cannot afford any
tax increase.
“That’s why we’re going for
the smaller bonds and phased
approach,” she said. “We
couldn’t morally go out for a
bond that our residents could
not afford.”
ing or denying the project.
A report laid out a number
of issues and conditions and
asked the committee to inter-
pret city code and decide
whether the project met the
city’s criteria.
City staff disagreed about
whether a section of the code
that addresses the scale of a
building should apply to Hol-
lander’s project, City Man-
ager Brett Estes explained.
While planning staff believe
the code applies to new con-
struction in this case, City
Attorney Blair Hennings-
gaard said the code could
be interpreted to apply only
to modifications to existing
buildings. Since Hollander
no longer plans to incorporate
the old Ship Inn restaurant
with the new hotel, Hennings-
gaard argued questions about
scale may not apply.
But, Bardy said, “I just
feel that these seats, our roles,
are not only to enforce the
code but also to represent the
community and there is such
an overwhelming outcry with
all the same issue which is
scale. I don’t think we should
ignore that.”

for two years, I’ve got a lot
of people who are interested
in this happening. They don’t
necessarily show up at these
meetings, no, but I think
there are a lot of people who
are in support of this project,
too, that just aren’t here.”
He said the hotel will be
a positive contribution to
Astoria.
Committee
member
Leanne Hensley initially
agreed with Bardy and Phelps.
She said the fourth floor
seemed to be an issue and
wondered if there was a way
to redesign it. Later, Hensley
said she didn’t see any reason,
looking at criteria listed in the
staff report, why the design
should be denied. She said it
was clear the developers had
put a lot of time and research
into their proposal. She and
Jared Rickenbach, the com-
mittee president, voted in
favor. Rickenbach was the
only committee member who
approved of the first design
back in the summer.
City planning staff did not
recommend either approv-
