A2 • Friday, February 8, 2019 | Cannon Beach Gazette | CannonBeachGazette.com Shirley Tadei Seaside couple makes restitution By R.J. MARX Cannon Beach Gazette The city and the Sea- side School District are standing by City Councilor Dana Phillips and Seaside School District board pres- ident Steve Phillips after a settlement with the Ore- gon Department of Justice over their handling of the Miss Oregon scholarship program. The settlement was reached after the state alleged unlawful trade practices. They agreed to pay $150,000 to the Oregon Community Foundation for the Tiffany Phillips Memo- rial Scholarship Fund, named for the couple’s 17-year-old daughter, who died in a 1998 car accident. The couple has been involved with the Miss Ore- gon pageant for decades. They will make restitution in three installments and must permanently resign from any offi ce, director- ship or position of author- ity with the Miss Oregon Scholarship Program and Oregon Scholarship Foun- The Daily Astorian Steve and Dana Phillips signed a settlement with the Oregon Department of Justice over their handling of the Miss Oregon pageant. dation. They are also prohib- ited from being fi nancially involved in any nonprofi ts or charities. The agreement “shall not be considered an admis- sion of a violation for any purpose.” Dana Phillips denied that the couple personally prof- ited from the pageant. The Oregonian reported on Feb. 1 that the couple pocketed $336,584 from the scholar- ship fund. “It’s not true,” Phillips said. “We did everything we possibly could and answered questions all along.” The agreement with the state does not allege fraud, she said. “At no time did we ever use the Miss Oregon pageant for personal gain or wrongdoing. This is a situ- ation that’s really sad and hard to swallow.” Phillips said when she left her role as director of the pageant in 2015, fi nancial documentation was shred- ded, a situation compounded by a computer crash that destroyed a system backup. “I’m not an accountant and I ran (the pageant) as a mom-and-pop organiza- tion, and kept it afl oat,” she said. “I thought I had all the documentation, but when I needed it most, when the DOJ wanted it, I didn’t have it.” Phillips said she plans to meet with City Manager Mark Winstanley and fellow city councilors “to fi nd out their feelings” as to whether she should retain her council position. “If they feel I need to step aside, I will,” she said. “I don’t want to, because there are things I haven’t fi nished doing.” Astoria June 25, 1933 – Jan. 29, 2019 Sadly, with heavy hearts, we are griev- dinavian festival.
