With a burgeoning stu- dent population and prohi- bitions on expanding in tsu- nami inundation zones, the three-step formula allows the district to move a bulk of stu- dents from the most crowded campus first. Using a master plan also means the district doesn’t have to return to the city, state and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for every step of construction. As in much of Warrenton, the large parcel includes some wetlands and the state and corps get to decide how the developer -- in this case IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE STATE OF OREGON FOR THE COUNTY OF CLATSOP In the Matter of the Estate of RALPH MYRON WIRFS, Deceased Case No.: 19PB07077 NOTICE TO INTERESTED PERSONS NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Steven Fick has been appointed Per- sonal Representative.

The request was submit- ted to the Department of State Lands and the corps on Tuesday, said Mike Moha, business manager of the Warrenton-Hammond School District. “It starts their 120-day clock. Hopefully, it will be short and sweet.” Using a mas- ter-plan ap- Moha proach, the dis- trict wouldn’t need to go through the wet- land mitigation process with the corps again, Moha said. “That seems to Rogozinski be the one that has the biggest potential to throw the time- line off,” added Rogozinski. The entire project is on schedule, both for time and budget, Moha told the school board. Construction is ex- pected to begin in the sum- mer. With groundbreaking hing- ing on the wetlands approval, other projects covered by the bond are moving forward. Siding at Warrenton Grade School and windows at the high school will be exam- ined this month to determine what needs to be replaced or repaired next summer. A security audit at the grade school and the high school is under way and expected to go out to bid in November. A new public address sys- tem at the grade school will be installed during winter break. The security improve- ments, which include the PA system, automatic door locks, and specialized key systems, are being made in response to school shootings and other safety issues on campuses nationwide. Work is nearly finished on the high school’s new roof, which was delayed by a stop- work order pertaining to a permit. With recent heavy rain, there was an anticipat- ed $15,000 in damage, which the contractor will cover. The membrane is finished, sheet-metal caps and flashing are ready to install. The high school’s new Ca- reer and Technical Education building is nearly complete. Classrooms were framed this week, electrical and in-floor heating systems are next. Concrete finish work should be complete by Friday. “I’m hoping to have oc- cupancy of the three weld- ing bays around Hallow- een,” Principal Rod Heyen said. “We’re moving toward Thanksgiving on the class- room side of it. It seems like something’s moving and hap- pening every day.” Dredging: Hammond Marina work begins next month Continued from Page 1 was one of two bidders for the job.

Main Ave. Butler died Sept. 13 at his home in Warrenton. recently acquired a hydraulic dredge so it could compete for dredging jobs. After bids were opened Aug. 30, the other bidding compa- ny filed a protest letter with the city, contending its bid was superior for several rea- sons, including experience in the industry. But the compa- ny’s bid was $900,000 high- er than Bergerson’s. The city attorney re- sponded to the protest let- ter, City Manager Linda Engbretson said. “They (Bergerson) are a lo- cal company just getting into this market and, while they don’t have a lot of experience in dredging, they do have a lot of experience in marine work,” Engbretson said. “I think they wanted the job.” The City Commission was expected to hold a special meeting at 3:30 p.m. Thurs- day to approve a project man- ager for the dredging work.
