As the population grows, elk
pose a safety hazard to hu-
mans, pets, property, and traf-

vehicle collisions involving elk

elk meat is utilized,” Baldwin
said. “I don’t ever want to see a
game animal wasted.”
While the cities of Gearhart,
Seaside and Warrenton asked
the Governor’s Office for help,
he has found the state a bit
heavy-handed in managing the
collaborate effort.
“Basically, what this commit-
tee was tasked with … was de-
veloping a template for the rest
of the state to utilize,” Baldwin
said. “We put together a tem-
plate that can be used to control
wolves, bear, what have you.”
Team leader Manuel Padilla
of Oregon Solutions said the
idea is to complete a multiju-
risdictional solution in which
all participants agree on the
game plan while recognizing
each city is different.
“The agreement isn’t legally
binding, but it’s a good-faith
document for how people are
going to align their (resourc-
es),” Padilla said. “We’re trying
to get to a point here where ev-
eryone has an understanding of
what’s being asked of them.”
The Declaration of Collabo-
ration is expected to come be-
fore all the involved entities in
February or March.
