In a staff report, City
Planner Carole Connell
estimated costs associated
with conditional use fees at
$2,483 — far greater than
the current fee of $250, put
in place in 2005. Other cit-
ies, according to her report,
list conditional use fees in a
range from $400 to almost
$7,000.

Cupples said. “I’m con-
fi dent that if there’s
additional signage that
needs to be done to
restrict parking to have
adequate street sweep-

director is going to get it
done.”
“What we’re voting
on tonight is sending
this to the City Coun-
cil,” Hoth said. “They
can decide if it’s strict
or not strict enough.
We’re sending it as a
recommendation.”
The motion to send
the amendment to the
council for consideration
passed unanimously.

“We’re excited about this
new space because of the

Bond, said. “Thousands of
people walk along Broad-

day.”
The Blue Bond Art Gal-

compelling work of Blue
Bond, but also Bartholet,
Don Dye, Jennie Truitt and
Ian Ricker, Lynn Bean, Ken-

Bartholet ran the Gilbert

“I know it’s in the right
hands,” Bartholet said of the
gallery transfer.
Blue Bond was born
in Kentucky; through his
father, a lifelong military
man, as a child, he traveled
the world.
Art has always played a
large role in his life; at the
tender age of 19, he had

Tales of Haystack Rock at History and Hops
Seaside Signal
At Seaside Museum’s next
History and Hops session on
Thursday, Jan. 30, at 6 p.m.,
Seaside native Elaine Trucke
will share some of the stories
and history of Haystack Rock.
The talk will focus on
some of the unique history
surrounding the rock, includ-
ing how it was named.
Trucke will recount tales
of former homesteaders
who wanted to build homes
perched upon the rock; of
hikers and climbers clam-
bering among bird nests, of
some of the daring rescues,
and even the story of a way-
ward blasting in the 1960s.
Trucke has been the exec-
utive director of the Cannon
Beach History Center and
Museum for the last 10 years.
She has been a previous popu-
lar History and Hops speaker
and has contributes historic
articles to various publica-
tions as well as provided his-
torical information to OPB,
KGW, and KATU.
History and Hops takes
place at Seaside Brewing Co.,
851 Broadway.

“When you look at other
cities’ fees are, you think,
‘Whoa, we should have
looked at this a while ago,’”
Mayor Matt Brown said.
“I think there’s really no
downside to adjusting those
fees.”
Discussion of restruc-
turing building fees was
delayed, but like the land
use fees, will allow the
city to become comparable
with other cities in Clatsop
County.
As for the land use fees,
“We’re going to clarify a
few of these things and bring
it back next month,” Sweet
said after Wednesday’s
meeting.

CenturyLink participates in a government benefit
program (Lifeline) to make residential telephone or
broadband service more affordable to eligible low-
income individuals and families. Eligible customers
are those that meet eligibility standards as defined
by the FCC and state commissions. Residents
who live on federally recognized Tribal Lands
may qualify for additional Tribal benefits if they
participate in certain additional federal eligibility
programs. The Lifeline discount is available for
only one telephone or qualifying broadband service
per household, which can be either a wireline or
wireless service. Broadband speeds must be 20
Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload or faster to
qualify.
A household is defined for the purposes of the
Lifeline program as any individual or group of
individuals who live together at the same address
and share income and expenses. Lifeline service is
not transferable, and only eligible consumers may
enroll in the program. Consumers who willfully
make false statements in order to obtain Lifeline
telephone or broadband service can be punished
by fine or imprisonment and can be barred from
the program.
If you live in a CenturyLink service area, please call
1-888-833-9522 or visit centurylink.com/lifeline
with questions or to request an application for the
Lifeline program.
