Levy: Funding would continue for fi ve more years

The department cur-
rently has six full-time
employees — chief, two
division chiefs and three
fi refi ghters — and about 30
volunteers, he said.
Gordon Houston, a full-
time Portland fi refi ghter,
continues to volunteer in
Seaside and serve as volun-
teer deputy chief, he helps
coordinate all the recruit-
ment, including the resi-
dent volunteer program,
currently with four interns
participating.
“We’ve been pretty suc-
cessful over the years, with
volunteers and our resident
program,” Houston said.
“Since I’ve been here for
20 years, we’ve had close
to 50 people get jobs full
time, some of them here.”
The interns live in rooms
above the station. “This
program has been crucial
for not only the students
but to assist with staffi ng
calls,” Daniels said.
Even with the extra
help the levy could bring,
volunteers remain essen-
tial, volunteer association
president Jason Schermer-
horn said. “That’s really
the backbone of the fi re
department,” he said. “We
do a lot of work and I’m
learning something new
every day while helping
people. It really is a great

organization.”
The measure would
need to be submitted to the
county elections offi cial
by Sept. 8 to appear on the
Nov. 8 ballot.
If passed, the new levy
would not take eff ect until
November of 2023.

care business. House Bill
4011 creates qualifi ed men-
tal health associate incen-
tive program within Oregon
Health Authority.
“We really want to
address the business side of
child care,” Armitage said.
“And really empowering
more folks to start these busi-
nesses be successful and pen-
cils out.”
Armitage said she plans
future town halls both via
Zoom and live.
“I am really looking for-
ward to seeing folks face to
face and having conversa-
tions with fellow policymak-
ers, both local and statewide,
about housing and cyberse-
curity in particular.” she said.
Melissa Busch, a home
health nurse from Warren, is
unopposed in the Democratic
primary and will face Weber
for the state Senate seat in
November.
Armitage said at the time
of her appointment that she
would not run for the seat.

We did our “due diligence.” We looked
for a buildable property in Clatsop
County, in a neighborhood, zoned
CR to retire to. Single family, no
businesses allowed, per the county
ordinance. Per our realtor.

SURROUNDED BY MINI-MOTELS?
WHO’S IN CHARGE HERE?
On April 13th the Board of
Commissioners will hold a public
hearing to change the zoning
ordinances in all zones in the county
to allow STRs in every zone?

“This is a really exciting
piece of legislation because
I think it helps everyone,”
she said. “Everyone move
forward. Both sides came
to the table as well as small
woodland owners and came
up with some commonsense
agreements.”
The accord provides tax
credits for small woodland
owners and creates a new
framework for how future
water-related changes to Ore-
gon’s forest practices will be
made.
Senate Bill 1579, known
as the Economic Equity
Investment Program, aims to
provide “culturally respon-
sive services” to disadvan-
taged individuals, families,
businesses and communities
in Oregon as a result of dis-
crimination, language pro-
fi ciency, economic status or
residence in a rural location.
“The reason I jumped into
support it pretty enthusiasti-
cally is that rural communi-
ties are also one of the dis-
advantaged
communities
outlined in that bill,” Armit-
age said. “Seaside would
qualify for some of the sup-
port and the grants that are in
this legislation.”
With the passage of addi-
tional child care funding, she
said the Legislature seeks to
address the overwhelming
