New project manager tapped by school district
District from Page 1A
Nofield, along with fellow
board members Mark Truax
and Tom Maltman, served on
the selection committee that
interviewed the three candi-
dates in early January.
Truax said it was an
eye-opening and enjoyable
experience, and an opportu-
nity to learn more about what
this project will entail. He
encouraged the other board
members to seek out similar
opportunities in the future.
“We all kind of need to sit
on one of those committees as
we go through with this pro-
cess,” he said.
Roley noted she would be
contacting the board members
in the future and requesting
them to serve on the design
committee, oversight commit-
tee or in other capacities.
With the board’s approval
‘There will opportunities for staff, parents and
community members, at some point, to participate
in meetings to give input on the new building.’

The Hillsboro School District is represented in DAY CPM’s
portfolio.
at the meeting, district admin-
istration is now authorized
to enter into contract negoti-
ations with the firm. No de-
finitive cost for services was
established during the bid
process, although that is just
one factor considered by the
selection committee while
scoring the candidates.
However, DAY CPM did
provide the district with its
hourly rate schedule for vari-
ous personnel and information
about other projected costs
and reimbursements. The firm
derived an overall fee estimate
of about $1.57 million based
on an understanding of the
budget, scope and time com-
ponents of the project, Hill
said. This estimate is defined
as a not-to-exceed fee, mean-
ing the firm’s final charge
for services can be under but
not over that amount without
district approval. Lastly, the
contract agreement shall not
exceed five years, Hill said.
District staff is making
progress in other areas relat-
ed to the new school project,
which is keeping them “busy
all the time,” Roley said.

He said it was the same
request with some slight mod-
ifications to the floor plan.
“Everything significant about
the last request is contained in
this request.”
Commissioners
unani-
mously approved the renewal
of the permit.
“Today we overcame an-
other hurdle,” Barb Knop,
the school treasurer, said after
the meeting. “It’s going really
well.”
“There’s a director, two
teachers and two instruction-
al assistants,” she said. “We
have a contract which the
lawyers are looking at, when
we sign that, we’ll be in very
good shape.”
The academy intends to
start enrollment in March.
Foreclosure delayed again at Neacoxie Barn
Owner plans to bring
building to code
By R.J. Marx
Seaside Signal
The owner of 774 Pacific
Way continues to envision a
future for the property, even
while fending off foreclosure
proceedings for the second
time in six months. The barn
has been used for weddings,
family reunions and other
commercial events.
“The February auction is
cancelled, and a refinance is
in process,” Shannon Smith
said Tuesday.
The property was sched-
uled to be sold at auction at
Clatsop County Courthouse
in early October, a date post-
poned to Feb. 6 and delayed
again this week. A Seattle law
firm handling the sale said the
auction could be rescheduled

CANNON BEACH —
The Cannon Beach Academy
charter school locked in its
proposed location at 171 Sun-
set Boulevard for at least one
more year.
The request for a permit re-
newal, presented at the Plan-
ning Commission Thursday,
Jan. 26, provides the academy
an opportunity to operate a
public charter school in a por-
tion of the site’s commercial
building. The proposal calls
for kindergarten, first and sec-
ond grades next fall, growing
to kindergarten through fifth
grade by fall 2020. Maximum
enrollment would be 75 stu-
dents the first year, rising to
150 students by 2020. Max-
imum staffing would start at
six, reaching a maximum of
10 by 2020.
“This proposal is similar
to one you approved a year
ago that has since expired,”
City Planner Mark Barnes
told commissioners. “Your
conditional use permits are
good for a year unless acted
on. This was not acted on and
it died from inaction, so they
are starting the process again
with a new conditional use
permit.”
Revised plans for the char-
ter school were approved by
the Design Review Board
last spring. Academy direc-
tor of startup operations Phil
Simmons, President Kellye
Dewey and Treasurer Barb
Knop presented on behalf of
the academy. Board members
had hoped to open this school
year, but the application was
delayed when issues with
Seaside School District arose.
“Those issues have been re-
solved,” Phil Simmons, the
director of startup operations,
said. “We’re ready to open
this fall. We’re ready to get the
permits and open the school.”

Group Architects of Port-
land, providing design and
architecture services for the
project, planned to participate
in three different meetings
Jan. 18. The first meeting
involved Roley, Hill, DOWA
and the civil engineer, and
they evaluated the project site.
Following that, the architect
firm presented to all the dis-
trict’s staff during their collec-
tive professional development
time, sharing details on what
the process will look like and
asking for input.
During the final meeting
with the firm, the administra-
tive team helped put together
a program plan that outlined
different features desired for
the new school campus. Roley
said the architects have been
helpful in reminding the team
“that we have a budget, and
that we couldn’t add every-
thing we could think of.”
She assured the board
“there will opportunities for
staff, parents and community
members, at some point, to
participate in meetings to give
input on the new building.”
The bond steering com-
mittee also intended to hold
its first meeting during the fi-
nal week of January. The fol-
lowing week, Hill and Roley
planned to work with bond
representatives and participate
in conference calls to learn
more about bond ratings, the
purchasing process and other
pertinent information.

Neacoxie Barn in Gearhart. The barn avoided foreclosure but
the property may not be used commercially.
in 30 or 60 days.
The former livery stable
used for special events re-
mains shuttered after Gear-
hart officials sought and won
an injunction to prohibit com-
mercial use until health and
safety conditions are met.
Meanwhile, on Jan. 25,
Circuit Court Judge Cindee
Matyas issued a judgment
ordering a permanent injunc-
tion on the barn until Smith
obtains a valid certificate of
occupancy.
Smith has said she plans to
bring the building up to code.
“I look forward to re-
ceiving Gearhart’s positive
support for a sustaining use
for the preservation of our
most original historic struc-
ture — especially as the city
begins to discuss ideas for a
community celebration of our
100th birthday,” Smith said
Tuesday. “It is my hope that
the Gearhart Park Hotel Liv-
ery Stable will again serve as
a treasured gathering place
for our community. It would
be most fitting to celebrate
such a significant milestone
at Gearhart’s first commercial
site and earliest historic struc-
ture.”
