SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2017 Future planned improvements going into the campground and in the marinas, I’d hate to raise rates just to raise rates,” she said. “I know there would be some public pushback on that, unless we had some real rea- sons to.” Buckwald agreed, saying, “It’s a catch-22. We have to make money to fix the place up.” “All of this falls into the strategic business plan,” McClure said. “What are our projects, what are our priori- ties? And what are our sources of funding?” At that point, the commis- sioners came to the conclu- sion that members of the pub- lic need to get involved with making these major decisions. Buckwald made the first suggestion, opening up the idea of implementing commit- from 1A “Why aren’t we waiting to see where this is going before we jump into the repairs? We have the cart ahead of the horse. We should have had the trail figured out and incorpo- rated it into the repairs.” These issues were further complicated by multiple upcoming repair projects that the port had to consider. From rebuilding the bulkhead at a cost of $1.5 million to dredg- ing the marina at $400,000, the scope and cost of the repairs are daunting. McClure suggested that rate increases in campground and moorage fees might need to be enacted to help pay for these projects, but doing that could prove difficult. “Unless we have some tees for members of the pub- lic. “I think the city has done that in all of the projects that they’re doing in Florence,” Commissioner Nancy Rickard said. “They’re involving a lot of people, a lot of planning and a lot of committees. It takes a lot more input.” Buckwald took this idea a step further, noting that the Port of Siuslaw’s district goes well beyond the City of Florence. “We go close to I-5 in one spot,” he said. “We need to find a way to reach out to our entire district. Sometimes I feel like I’m just representing the local campers. We need to reach out to the entire district, not just the City of Florence. This district is more than Florence.” The commissioners became invigorated at this point, with Duman pushing the idea of opening up the port to more than just committees. “We need to sponsor sail- boat classes, fishing classes and crabbing classes,” Duman said. “Ways to involve the people in Florence and the surrounding areas to let them know there’s more to do at the port than just catching salmon. Somehow we need to get people excited about the opportunities they have at the port.” Buckwald agreed. “And that’s why I think get- ting volunteers for a commit- tee is important. There’s peo- ple from this community that have been here for 50 years and know this community bet- ter than all of us combined that are just dying to be asked something. We need to coor- dinate a volunteer system. I know they’re there. Each month, I’d like to have some- thing on the agenda to talk about on this so it doesn’t begin to get lost.” While no actual committees are currently planned, the port will look into creating them in the coming months. “We need outreach,” Duman said. “There are a lot of oppor- tunities out there.
