PORT OF HOOD RIVER MEETING MINUTES

Minutes of December 6, 2005        
Work and Regular Session Meeting
Expo Center Conference Room 5:30 P.M.

Present: Commissioners Sherry Bohn, Don Hosford, Hoby Streich, and Kathy Watson; Attorney Jerry Jaques; from staff, Mike Doke, Linda Hull, Linda Shames, and Laurie Borton

Absent: Commissioner Fred Duckwall

Media: None

President Sherry Bohn called the Commission into work session at 5:40 p.m.

1. Waterfront Industrial Market Study - President Bohn introduced Eric Hovee who had been asked to attend the work session to answer Commission questions and clarify tasks in the E. D. Hovee & Company's October 28 proposal memorandum. Hovee responded to questions regarding survey distribution and follow-up interviews by stating a 100% mail out of surveys to industrial firms throughout Hood River County would be accomplished by obtaining a list from the Hood River Economic Development department. Hovee expected to provide a sample survey to the Commission for their review by the end of December or the first of the year. Survey questions would provide input regarding suppliers and partners who may have an interest in co-locating to the area; weighing the importance of location costs to lifestyle and/or environmental tradeoffs, and community benefits such as housing and schools. Hovee stated that follow-up interviews would reveal more in-depth analyses to the survey responses. President Bohn recommended that a copy of the work source survey completed by Hood River County a couple years ago should be provided to Hovee so that the Port's survey could be an expansion, and not a repeat, of the County's efforts. Commissioner Watson stated that she hoped the final report would provide a clear picture of how the Port pursues future marketing challenges. President Bohn invited comments from Bill Fashing, Hood River County Economic Development Coordinator; after which Fashing and Hovee spoke privately upon the conclusion of Hovee's presentation.

2. Executive Director Transition - President Bohn stated the purpose of this discussion was to reach consensus on whether or not an Interim Director should be hired while the three to six month process is underway to search for an Executive Director. Bohn distributed information received from Technical Assistance for Community Services (TACS), and from Waldron & Company. Bohn stated that Personnel Committee members Duckwall and Jaques had not yet seen the information and that she was not prepared to make a recommendation until the Commission had time to review the information.
Upon polling, there was Commission consensus to pursue hiring or contracting an Interim Director. Commission Watson stated that she preferred more than just a "caretaker" who signs checks and that the Interim Director could be helpful in reviewing work processes, the strategic plan, and participating in the search for an Executive Director. President Bohn commented that both TACS and Waldron use retired executives who look at operations and help facilitate change, and that both would be available for presentations to the Commission. Attorney Jerry Jaques commented that a bid process was not necessary and that a Personal Services contract would be utilized.
After further discussion, President Bohn polled the Commission again, and there was consensus that TACS and Waldron would be asked to attend a January 2006 meeting to present proposals and answer Commission questions.

President Bohn closed the work session at 6:23 p.m., and there was Commission consensus to proceed immediately into regular session.

5. STAFF REPORT:
· Bridge: Linda Shames, Finance Manager, reported that Ed Hoyle, project manager from the bridge redecking project, would prepare a summarized report of the details and timelines related to the archeological issues that has caused the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to retain a $327,000 payment to Christie Constructors. The report will then be provided to Oregon state senators Patty Smith and Rick Metzger to determine if they can assist in a resolution. Two proposals (the Toll Plaza and interstate bridge crossing feasibility projects) have been received from HNTB, the Port's bridge engineering firm; however, Shames stated that she would like more time to analyze the information before discussing the reports with the Commission. The Port advertised for a part-time toll collector, and Shames commented that she thought it was interesting that 10 of the 24 applicants were new to the area and this would be their first job in Hood River. As an informational item to the Commission, Shames and Commission President Bohn commented on a Thanksgiving eve phone call from an electrician with Bonney Electric who was not happy about a bridge lift scheduled for 7pm on Thanksgiving. Shames explained that U.S. Coast Guard regulations stipulate a 12-hour notice (although the Port has never held up river traffic for any length of time); that it is illegal to charge barge companies or recreational boaters for bridge lifts, holidays notwithstanding; and that river traffic has precedence over vehicle traffic, so if there is ever any problem with the lift mechanism then the lift must be maintained in an "up" position.
· Waterfront Industrial/Planning: The Second Street Improvement Project mobilization has begun, and Shames reported that although the project did not qualify for an Immediate Opportunity Fund grant, a Special Public Works loan could be obtained but she was not convinced the 4.5% loan with was a good deal. Shames commented on a discussion with ODOT that the $900,000 earmarked for the Frontage Road feasibility study was received and that a liaison would be identified in the next week or two so discussions on the process of
selecting an engineer should begin the first of the year. There was Commission consensus to hold forums on the Frontage Road project to inform the public about the necessity for taking local trips off Interstate 84. Shames also reported that engineering and appraisal information on some waterfront properties should be available for review at a January meeting. To simplify boundary line adjustments involved in the land sale to Hood River Distillers (HRD), Attorney Jerry Jaques commented that President Bohn had signed an application form requesting that separate tax lots be canceled and combined into one each for the Port and HRD on their respective sides of the boundary line. Mike Doke, Marketing Manager, commented there is strong interest in the Western Power Building and requested that detailed discussions be held over to Executive Session.
· Waterfront Recreational: The Request for Proposal (RFPs) for 2006 kiteboard instruction concessions will be publicly noticed in January and RFPs will be sent to the schools that operated in 2005. An engineer has been identified and will be scheduled to perform an inspection of the cruise ship dock.
· Wasco Business Park: Two sales transactions are pending; and Mike Doke reported that Dean Cameron, who purchased Lot 1, had offered to attend a Commission meeting to present an overview of his development plans. Renaissance Learning (Humanities) reviewed their amended lease and has requested that an exhibit of punch list "problem" items be added as a lease attachment. Since the items should be resolved by the end of the week, Linda Shames commented that it was not appropriate to have the punch list as a lease attachment.
· John Weber Business Park: At the request of David and Traci Lucas, the sale agreement for Lot 8, Parcel 3 has been rescinded and the earnest money will be refunded. Mike Doke reported there is already another party that is interested in the parcel, and another sales transaction is pending.
· Airport: Mike Doke reported that developer Paul McKinzie is working with Century West and the Federal Aviation Administration. McKinzie is continuing to work with his architect on a building for Advanced Navigation and Positioning Corporation (ANPC).
· Other: Linda Hull, Executive Assistant, reported that she was working with Dennis Whitehouse of Columbia Gorge Community College regarding the Indian Creek Trail easement deed, which will include provisions for the college to remedy the safety concerns of two abandoned vaults on the property. Hull also asked that she be involved in the Chamber's task force regarding the relocation of community events from the Expo and commented there were already 30 events scheduled for the Expo in 2006. Linda Shames reported that engineer Stu Cato had been asked to identify parking options for the Big 7 Building and a report will be provided at a later date.
Mike Doke reported that the incubator proposal for the Marina Center Building never came to fruition, and that the Columbia Gorge Winegrowers Association has expressed an interest in the building for use as a central cooperative marketing location. Doke stated that he would request more information from the winegrowers' association as to their plans for the 7,700 square foot building. President Bohn asked the Commission for a consensus on use of the building. Bohn reiterated that the Real Estate Committee's initial perception for the building was job creation and a single tenant, but the building has been empty now for six months with no prospects meeting the criteria. It was Bohn's opinion that it was now time to have an architect look at the building and seriously consider consolidating Port operations (administration and maintenance) at the Marina Center Building, including a Commission conference room. With the building being the likely location for a new bridge, Bohn stated it would be better to evict ourselves rather than another lease tenant when a new bridge is built across the Columbia River. Bohn stated that she believed the current Port office and maintenance shop would be highly desirable locations, easily rented, and more valuable, especially with the Frontage Road potential. Commissioner Hosford agreed with Bohn; however, Commissioner Watson believed job creation was a higher priority than consolidation
of Port operations. Commissioner Streich asked about the other prospects, to which Doke responded people who believed the rent would be cheap and the location good for a restaurant or mini-public market had contacted him. Linda Shames commented that she believed the building was not well suited for commercial use, and that she would provide the Commission with some preliminary dollar and timeframe estimates to get the building ready for Port occupancy. Streich stated he thought the consolidation move would be good and working with some rough figures commented that it would appear to be profitable to rent out the current Port office, maintenance shed, and any unused square footage in the Marina Center Building. Shames also commented on the build-out potentials between the Port and DMV offices. Watson repeated that she would like to see some concrete figures and future leasing scenarios and that she was also interested in knowing the needs of the Columbia Gorge Winegrowers Association.

6. COMMISSIONER, COMMITTEE REPORTS:
a) Airport Advisory Committee - Mike Doke and Commissioner Streich reported a month-to-month agreement may be necessary for the FBO while the current agreement is being reviewed by Attorney Jaques and the Port does due diligence in comparing agreements of other airports.
b) Real Estate Committee - President Bohn stated a recap of the committee's meeting would be discussed in Executive Session.

7. OTHER BUSINESS:
a) 2006 Federal Lobbying Priorities - Mike Doke reported on a meeting the previous Friday with lobbyist Hal Hiemstra, who represents the interests of the Port, City, and County in Washington, D.C. Hiemstra will be in Hood River again in January to continue to refine project priorities at the federal level. Doke also reported the County is beginning its update of the Needs and Issues Inventory, a process that ranks local projects for potential state and federal funding. There was Commission consensus that a work session would be scheduled for the December 20 meeting to continue discussions on the Port's project priorities.
b) Oregon Consensus Program Report - President Bohn recommended the Commission read the "Blackstone" report to determine if action needs to be taken. Bohn stated that she had discussed the report with Hood River Mayor Linda Rouches and County Commission Chair Rodger Schock and Bohn stated there was progress in moving forward cooperatively. It was suggested that Bohn, Rouches, and Schock contact groups, such as Rotary, to give a "State of the Union" report.
c) Fee Waiver Request-Expo Center Event - WorkSource Columbia Gorge submitted a letter requesting a fee reduction from $500 to $250 for use of the Expo Center for an annual Job Fair scheduled for April 1, 2006. Linda Hull reported the commercial fee was already reduced from $750 down to $500 for the Job Fair and that it was "not the Port of Hood River's policy to waive fees for events with concessions or sales of any type." Hull commented that although an admission is not charged for this public event, the renter charges vendors for booth space. Commission Hosford stated he was not opposed to the fee reduction as the event benefited the community; Commissioner Watson agreed; and Commissioner Streich stated the Job Fair was an opportunity to stimulate the economy and was therefore in favor of the fee reduction request. President Bohn added the Fee Waiver Request to the agenda as an Action Item.

8. ACTION ITEMS:
a) Wasco Business Park Sale Agreements - Since pending transactions are not ready for Commission action, this agenda item was tabled.

b) John Weber Business Park Sale Agreements - This agenda item was tabled, as pending transactions are not ready for Commission action.

c) Waterfront Industrial Market Study Proposal -

9. ANNOUNCEMENTS/COMMISSION CALL: Commissioner Streich commented that carpet remnants were still located at the Hook, by the Western Power Building in particular. Mike Doke stated that he would arrange to have it picked up by Port maintenance. Commissioner Hosford asked if the crow was still a nuisance at the Wasco Business Park. Staff responded that they had not received any recent complaints from Renaissance Learning. President Bohn acknowledged the accomplishments of Linda Shames in having received a Certificate of Public Management from Willamette University. Shames was applauded and thanked for her efforts, which Bohn stated is an advantage to the Port Commission and staff as well.

10. EXECUTIVE SESSION: President Bohn called the Commission into Executive Session under ORS 192.660(2)(e) Real Property at 7:45 p.m. Upon conclusion of Executive Session, the Commission was called back into Regular Session at 8:17 p.m. Following discussion, there was Commission consensus to direct staff to request a preliminary Scope of Work from industrial architect Kevin Cooley, on a time and material basis, to look at the power, design and square footage needs for multiple tenants with various codes, for further discussion at the December 20 meeting.

11. Adjourn. President Bohn adjourned the meeting at 8:23 p.m.


Port of Hood River Commission
Minutes of December 27, 2005 Work/Regular Session Meeting
Expo Center Conference Room
3:00 P.M.

THESE MINUTES ARE NOT OFFICIAL, as they have not been approved by the Port Commission. These minutes are for review and are subject to change and/or approval at the January 3, 2006 meeting.

Present: Commissioners Sherry Bohn, Fred Duckwall, Don Hosford, Hoby Streich, and Kathy Watson; Attorney Jerry Jaques; from staff, Mike Doke, Linda Hull, Linda Shames, and Laurie Borton

Absent: None

Media: None

President Sherry Bohn called the Commission into work session at 3:00 p.m.

1. Hood River County Needs and Issues Inventory: The Port submitted five projects on the 2004 Needs and Issues Inventory, which is a process that ranks local projects for potential state and federal funding in the categories of community facilities, community readiness, and infrastructure. Mike Doke, Marketing Manager, reported that the County did not go through this process in 2005. Two Port projects listed as 2004 priorities will be removed from the list-the Integrated Technology Center and the Interstate Bridge Redecking Project. Following discussion, there was Commission consensus to keep the Toll Plaza Improvement Project, and Acquisition of Shovel-Ready Industrial Sites on the inventory; amend the Waterfront Development project to delete reference to the Second Street Extension and specify a Pedestrian Access Way (PAW) as "Other Infrastructure;" and add two new items-the Frontage Road Crossing Project, and construction of a Light Industrial Building on the Waterfront. Doke stated that a project summary with cost estimates would be provided for discussion purposes when the Inventory list is finalized at the Commission's January 17, 2006 meeting. The County has established a deadline of January 20 for submission of Project Notification Forms, with a presentation to the Hood River County Economic Development Committee on February 1, which will prioritize projects March 1, with recommendations forthcoming in May.

2. 2006 Federal Lobbying Priorities: Commissioner Duckwall recommended the Port's federal lobbying priority projects should parallel the Hood River County Needs and Issues Inventory, and suggested there might be a better chance of securing funding if the list were short. Commissioner Watson concurred, stating that advocating for projects on a tighter list would be best. President Bohn said Hal Hiemstra will be in Hood River on January 10 and will be meeting with the Port, City and County to discuss the federal lobbying priorities for the three entities. The Commission will continue its discussion at the January 17 meeting.

President Bohn closed the work session at 3:35 p.m.

1. CALL TO ORDER: President Bohn called the regular meeting to order at 3:35 p.m.
a) Modifications, Additions to Agenda by Staff: None.

2. INFORMATION-COMMUNICATIONS:
a) Guests: Craig Schmidt, Executive Director of the Hood River County Chamber of Commerce asked to meet with the Commission to discuss the future of the Chamber, Visitors Center, and convention and community events should the Expo Building revert to light industrial use. Schmidt stated a partnership with the Port had existed since the early 1970's to provide visitor center services and requested that further discussion be continued at the January 17 meeting. Schmidt asked if it might be appropriate for the Port, City, or County to include Chamber offices and/or Visitors Center space to the 2006 Needs and Issues Inventory.

3. PUBLIC COMMENT: None.

4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
Motion: Move to approve the December 6, 2005 work/regular session meeting minutes.
Move: Streich
Second: Watson
Vote: Aye: Bohn, Duckwall, Hosford, Streich, and Watson
MOTION CARRIED

5. STAFF REPORT:
· Bridge: Linda Shames, Finance Manager, reported that the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) met last week to discuss the archeological issue related to the bridge redecking project. Although the Port was not invited to participate, Shames relayed the federal position that the issue was post-construction and not the contractor's or Port's problem; however, informally the state did not agree. Shames stated that she had requested a written response from ODOT on what they believed the Port's involvement and responsibilities should be regarding the issue.
· Waterfront Industrial/Planning: Mike Doke reported he continues to pursue tenants for the Western Power Building and that he would provide the Commission with further details during Executive Session. Linda Hull, Executive Assistant, reported that President Bohn would sign a revised Agreement for Professional Services with E. D. Hovee & Company, LLC for a waterfront industrial market study, originally authorized by the Commission on December 6. There was Commission consensus that the minor revisions to the Agreement were acceptable. Hull also reported that an in-water permit had been submitted to the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers for boat basin seawall repairs. Hull stated that any work done in the water is restricted to a November through February timeframe. Hull stated that Maritime had agreed to share permitting and repair costs, but if the permit is not allowed at this time then Maritime Services may not be interested in a land lease for the boat basin site. Attorney Jerry Jaques provided the Commission with information regarding the Greyling Group's rezone application of the Nichols Boat Works property, along with excerpts from the Kittelson Transportation Impact Analysis, neither of which mentions the Port's Frontage Road Crossing project. Jaques commented he was concerned that future transportation needs (a projection of 4,000 trips) was not factored into either of the documents. There was Commission consensus that the Real Estate Committee and staff should meet with the Greyling Group to discuss their rezone application and the Kittelson analysis. In a related matter, Hull reported that public forums on the Frontage Road Crossing project would be scheduled for February. Hull also reported that the City is processing the Hood River Distillers boundary line adjustment request.
· Waterfront Recreational: The Request for Proposal (RFPs) for 2006 kiteboard instruction concessions will be publicly noticed the first week in January and RFPs will be mailed this week to the schools that operated in 2005. The Lot 6 partition plat has been filed, and Attorney Jaques reported that an updated title report will be requested by City Attorney Alexandra Sosnkowski when she returns from vacation next week. Jaques stated that he anticipates the delivery of a deed the first part of January.
· Wasco Business Park: Due to vacations and the holidays, the final two sales transactions will not be ready for Commission action until the second meeting in January.
· John Weber Business Park: Mike Doke reported that he would like to discuss the details of a potential transaction in Executive Session.
· Airport: Mike Doke commented that he would like to hold over a discussion to Executive Session.
· Other: Linda Hull presented a map illustrating where Port property and the Indian Creek Trail are situated within the newly purchased college site property. A strip of easement land dedicated to an abandoned water line runs through this property. The Port acquired the Pelton Water Line property as part of the old Diamond Fruit Complex, and over the past several years the Hood River Valley Parks & Recreation District (HRVPRD) has been creating a trail along its easement area. The college requested that the Port donate this easement property to it so they can proceed with site planning for college buildings. In consideration of donating the parcel to the college, the Port proposed that the college demolish and/or fill a concrete water vault structure for the safety of trail users as well as guarantee a trail link across its property to connect with both ends of the Indian Creek Trail system being developed by HRVPRD. Hull also reported that an April 6, 2004 motion approved the donation of surplus Port property along the Indian Creek Trail to HRVPRD. HRVPRD did not pursue a finalization of the donation because surveys of the trail system were not completed. The survey work is now done and legal descriptions are being prepared. Commissioner Watson asked if the Port should follow through with its donation to HRVPRD and then help facilitate an agreement between HRVPRD and the college for its location. Consensus was to invite the college and the parks people to the meeting on January 17 to discuss how to proceed.

6. COMMISSIONER, COMMITTEE REPORTS: None.

7. OTHER BUSINESS:
a) Port Appointment to Chamber Board - There was Commission consensus and agreement by Mike Doke that he represent the Port as a non-voting member of the Chamber Board on an interim basis until an Executive Director is hired.
b) Frontage Road Public Forums - Public forum on the Frontage Road Crossing Project originally thought to be scheduled for January will now be scheduled for sometime in February.
c) Interim/Executive Director Transition Follow-Up - A work session has been scheduled for the January 3 Commission meeting. Representatives from Waldron Resources, and TACS (Technical Assistance for Community Services) will be in attendance to answer Commission questions regarding the process.
d) Conference Registrations - President Bohn and Mike Doke will attend the Special Districts Association of Oregon annual conference in Seaside this coming February; and Bohn will join other Pacific Northwest Waterways Association members for the "Mission to Washington (D.C.)" in March 2006.

8. ACTION ITEMS:
a) Appointments to County's Affordable Housing and Industrial Lands Work Groups: Citizens who have agreed to serve on the Hood River County work groups addressing the lack of affordable housing and industrial lands include Joella Dethman (Commissioner Hosford's contact for Affordable Housing), Cory Roeseler (Hosford's contact for Industrial Lands), Claire Philpott and Mark Flaming (Commissioner Watson's contacts for Industrial Lands). Watson commended Roeseler's willingness to serve on the Industrial Lands work group but believed that Philpott's legal background with industrial development work and involvement with the Portland Development Commission would be beneficial, along with Flaming's work for the World Bank doing development work in the third world. President Bohn reminded the Commission that only one person could be appointed as the Port's citizen representative to the work groups. After discussion, there was Commission consensus to recommend the appointment of Joella Dethman to the Affordable Housing work group, and Claire Philpott to the Industrial Lands work group, and that the names of Roeseler and Flaming be provided as having expressed an interest in serving on the Industrial Lands work group, should the County be looking for additional members.

b) Hood River Bridge - Replacement Program, Funding Strategy Plan: Linda Shames reiterated the consensus of the Commission at the fall planning session that HNTB, the Port's bridge engineering firm, conduct a financial feasibility of the Port's ability to replace the Hood River-White Salmon Bridge. Shames reported that $65,000 had been budgeted for the project.

Motion: Move to approve, pending Attorney Jaques's review of the contract, the Funding Strategy Plan Scope of Services with HNTB Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $51,000, to conduct a financial feasibility study of the Port replacing the Hood River-White Salmon Bridge.
Move: Duckwall
Second: Hosford
Vote: Aye: Bohn, Duckwall, Hosford, Streich, and Watson
MOTION CARRIED

c) Hood River Bridge - Toll Bridge Improvements: Linda Shames reported the project would entail the creation of four lanes to the bridge from the 4-way stop consistent with the Oregon Department of Transportation interchange plans, an electronic toll system using reader card compatibility with the recently installed Washington Department of Transportation's light signal at the Highway 14 junction, a new toll facility built to current standards, and a manual and automated bypass lane.

Motion: Move to approve, pending Attorney Jaques's review of the contract, the Scope of Services with HNTB Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $614,700, for bridge intersection and toll plaza improvements.
Move: Hosford
Second: Streich
Vote: Aye: Bohn, Duckwall, Hosford, Streich, and Watson

Move: Duckwall
Second: Hosford
Vote: Aye: Bohn, Duckwall, Hosford, Streich, and Watson
MOTION CARRIED

9. ANNOUNCEMENTS/COMMISSION CALL: Commissioner Streich requested to revisit the discussion on the Indian Creek Trail easement and the obligation to fill the water vaults. Attorney Jaques commented that it would be appropriate to continue the discussion to Executive Session. President Bohn stated she is receiving numerous questions as to what the Port is doing on the waterfront (i.e. Second Street Improvement Project). Bohn also commended staff for doing a great job during this transition period.

President Bohn called the Commission into Executive Session under ORS 192.660(2)(e) Real Property at 4:38 p.m., but then called the Commission back into Regular Session for an additional Action Item regarding the E. D. Hovee & Company, LLC industrial market assessment, as reported by staff under Waterfront Industrial/Planning.

Motion: Move to approve the revised Agreement for Professional Services with E. D. Hovee & Company, LLC, and that the Port oblige itself not to disclose confidential information provided for the industrial market assessment.
Move: Duckwall
Second: Watson
Vote: Aye: Bohn, Duckwall, Hosford, Streich, and Watson
MOTION CARRIED
