Moreover, “we don’t have the manpower or the budget to take on a whole CERT program,” he added. “I think they can use them better in the city.” Cannon Beach Fire and Rescue, which is not a city GHSDUWPHQW EXW D UXUDO ¿UH protection district, has two paid staff members — Bal- zer and Capt. Matt Gardner. The police department has nine paid staff members, plus the lifeguards and SDUNLQJ LQIRUPDWLRQ RI¿- cers during the summer. More available staff members means more op- portunities for training and reinforcing the CERT vol- unteers’ “muscle memory” of emergency response, Thompson said.

Start your new year at Suzanne Elise A ssisted Living By Erick Bengel The Cannon Beach City Council is anticipating a year packed with projects. Increasing hotel revenue; expanding NeCus’ Park; adding acreage to the Ecola Creek Forest Reserve; re- viewing the master develop- ment plan for the city’s South Wind property top the list of the City Council’s goals for 2015. At its annual retreat Jan. DW7RORYDQD,QQ²WKH¿UVW for Sam Steidel as mayor — the council zeroed in on these general concerns, which will become part of a broader stra- tegic plan incorporating feed- back from city staff and the Cannon Beach community. The strategic plan may also lay out options for ad- dressing Cannon Beach’s af- fordable housing scarcity and making the city more sustain- able and eco-friendly. Woodburn City Adminis- trator Scott Derickson served as the volunteer facilitator, helping to articulate and or- ganize the council’s short- term priorities. Derickson is the former Clatsop County manager and former Warren- ton city manager.
