LI£WESr COMMUNICATIONS (§) Bob M ille r w ill resign as manager o f the port o f M orrow w ith a feather in his cap The recent decision by the Clark County Commissioners to ship solid waste matenals to the proposed Boardman landfill could possibly h»x>si the Port's revenue to an excess o f $800,000, according to M ille r Two years ago, in 1986, when M ille r became General Manager o f the Port, the dock was struggling M iller had several definite projects in mind, but the plight o f the Port 's docking facility was high on his list o f priorities “ I wanted to bnng the dock into a p m fit picture where it was no longer a financial drain on the P o rt," said M iller. "W e had some real pro blems then, getting containers to the shippers, and we had no regular scheduled barge ships " Now an additional 500 containers loaded with H a rk County’ s garbage w ill possibly be barged into the Port's dock by Tidewater Barge l ines o f Vancouver. Washington, then trucked to the proposed Finley Butte lan dfill site Even before the new contract agreement with Tidewater by Clark County. M ille r had realized his goal o f bringing the docks to a profit nuking entity by more than doubl ing the barge traffic "N o w we have two regular harges stopping and a third stisps on de n u n d .” said M ille r "W e have an average o f 5<X) containers per month going through our facilities " The solid waste nuterials coming into the ik x k s from Clark County w ill add heaps o f frosting to the cake M ille r w ill resign in January to become assistant director o f the deep water Port o f Astona "O n e o f the reasons I'm going to the Astoria Port is the ocean going ships which call there," M ille r said " I 'd like to have the experience o f w orking w ith deep water ships " " Ihe ships are loaded and unload ed by longshoremen." he said, "and that is also an area where I'd like to pick up a little experience I'm look ing forwrad to working with them " M ille r's duties at the Port o f M or row involve running the large facility system, which includes running the dock operations, actively developing the Port's economic*, marketing, selling, leasing and bringing poten tial cients in to look at the land "O n e o f my jobs is to attract clients to the area by showing them the advantages o f moving to M oitow Co u n ty .” said M ille r M ille r's duties w ill be sim ilar as assistant director o f the Port o f Astona " I w ill be dealing w ith the same kind of issues on zoning laws, land conservation development, and com mission rules and regulations on developing which I do in M orrow C ounty.” he said, "except Astoria has a lot more wet land Wet land is protected by the Corps o f Engineers "A n y place a cattail w ill gn>w is classified as wet land and can't he d isturbed," said M ille r This type o f land is saved in its natural state to preserve the duck and geese routes, nest areas, and fly-ways. M ille r is likiking forward to mov ing to the coastal area “ I'm pretty excited about Astona It is htstoncally the oldest area in Oregon and consequently has a very interesting h is to ry ," he said " I par ocularly like the arts and crafts you find up and down the Oregon C oa st." " I may even find new roads to ex plore with my m oto rcycle ." he aildcd M ille r has been dedicated to (he Pori since becoming a manager "M y major hobby since I've been in M orrow County has been Ihe Port,” he sakl.
