1.
Introductions
Introductions were made and Port Executive Director Michael
McElwee thanked everyone for attending and explained that
feedback from today's meeting would be helpful for the Commission
when they meet on April 20 for a spring planning session,
and for the budget meeting in May. McElwee said all of the
projects identified by this committee last year can't be done
for financial, environmental, or regulatory reasons. The Port
is mindful, however, that improvements need to be made for
the benefit of all users.
2.
Conceptual Kite Spit Improvement Findings
McElwee introduced Shawn Summersett, a civil engineer who
assisted the Committee last year with improvement concepts
and cost estimates for the priority projects identified by
the Committee. This information was provided to the Port Commission
at a November 17, 2009 meeting.
2009 Project, priority ranking, cost estimate (more fully described in the 10/28/09 Conceptual Kite Spit Improvement Findings letter from Summersett Civil Engineering to Port of Hood River):
1
- Increase Parking: Reconfigure existing ($40,000 to expand
and resurface triangular area; $220,000 for paving the area);
add new parking to the immediate north down from the ramp
($14,000); paving not likely due to Goal 5/storm water mitigation
issues
2-3 - Road Improvements: Regrade and rerock; dust abatement
w/calcium chloride ($14,000)
4 - Restrooms: $350,000 - for permanent, seasonal pressure
sewer system and water line, and power for restroom with exterior
shower; 75-ft setback limits available location. Requires
conditional use permit. Committee was going to look into composting
toilet but that has not yet happened.
5 - Dinghy Dock: Along western edge ($75,000-$300,000; permitting
is an issue) Tonia Farman is familiar with temp. jet ski dock
options. Michael McElwee mentioned that used docks may be
available from the Nichols boat basin area that could perhaps
be used and permitted as temporary structures. Preferred jet
ski dock locations were discussed.
6 - Shower: Included in above restroom estimate of $350,000
7- Lawn: Perimeter planting and/or north of parking lot ($17,000;
but currently no irrigation is available so perhaps it would
need to piggyback onto the restroom project which brings water
utilities to the site)
8 - Kite Pumping Station: Solar, generator, or wind powered
(cost TBD)
3.
Discussion
McElwee did say that bids for improvements to The Spit road
had been received. Hanel Development advised that blading,
grading, and crowning existing materials should make a noticeable
difference. Ongoing maintenance will, of course, need to be
done. The Commission will consider taking action to approve
a contract for work that could be done by the end of the month.
With this project to improve the road surface before the start
of this season, McElwee asked for an updated ranking of projects,
and the following were recommended:
1.
Road resurfacing (project completion expected by end of the
month)
2. Parking reconfiguration and surface (able to combine with
upcoming project?)
3. Placement of astro-turf
4. Blackberry bushes eradication
The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for coordination and oversight of the sandbar uses and activities (aka Delta Management Plan) is being revised. The 'waterfront safety guide' is an attachment to the MOU and this brochure is also being revised, and enlarged signs of the waterfront safety guide will be fabricated for posting at access points. Initial comments relative to the MOU have been received from the Department of State Lands and input will be sought from the Columbia Gorge Kiteboarding Association and Columbia Gorge Windsurfing Association. The Waterfront Recreation Committee will also be reviewing the plan for concurrence.
A proposal has been received from the kiteboarding association for access to the sandbar from the Marina Beach; the proposal also includes an area designated for pumping and drying kites, as has been allowed at the Event Site. This proposal will be discussed at a Waterfront Recreation Committee meeting prior to action being taken by the Port Commission.
4.
Schedule
Ad Hoc committees have limited assignments not to exceed two
years and terminate upon completion of the assignment or by
a majority vote of the Commission. With this in mind, and
with projects identified, the Ad Hoc committee members determined
the goals of identifying improvements to The Spit had been
fulfilled and the need for continued meetings would not be
required.
The
meeting adjourned at 5:10 p.m.

Commissioner, Committee Reports:
· Hood River County Economic Development: Commissioner
Sherry Bohn reported that Dallas Fridley, Regional Economist
with the Oregon Employment Department, gave a Power Point
presentation. The average annual wage in Hood River County
took a big jump in 2008. However this was not thought to be
a true figure because of company ownership changes.
· Urban Renewal: President Streich's report was presented
from the Committee's meeting minutes as neither Commissioner
Streich nor Commissioner Bohn was present for the March 18th
meeting. Jeff Pickhardt and Chip Dickinson, Key Development,
met with Urban Renewal to do an exploratory mission to see
if perhaps there were some parts of Urban Renewal that may
be available to apply to their project. Pickhardt showed the
group the pieces of property that Key Development have owned
adjacent to the City's property. They have also been in discussion
with North Cheatham about his property. These properties put
together would make for a unique development opportunity.
Pickhardt presented a slide showing some concepts of what
could occur given the current zoning code. Some ideas they
have been considering for the property are a hotel, parking
for 120 spaces, and professional office spaces. They understand
that the Urban Renewal Agency has a plan to improve State
Street. The concepts that they have seem like they could tie
into those improvements. Pickhardt stated that Key Development
is looking for possible financial support. Bob Francis stated
that they would not commit the Urban Renewal Agency to anything
right now until they know what they can commit to.
Legal Council is discussing with the Bond Council the Bond
Issue. Francis stated next month when they do the Urban Renewal
budget they will probably have more answers. They may be asking
local agencies if they will continue to give funds.
Francis gave an update on the Wastewater Treatment Plant project.
The project should be finished by mid April.
· Spit Improvements Ad Hoc Committee: Laurie Borton,
Operations Manager, gave a report on the last meeting. Shawn
Sommersett presented information about repairs that are needed
on the Spit. Some of the main priorities were to have the
road resurfaced, remove blackberries and reconfiguring parking.
The Memorandum of Understanding for the Delta Management Plan
will be going to the Waterfront Rec Committee and also a revision
of the Recreation Brochure. Borton said that the Ad Hoc Committee
has now finished its work since projects have been identified
and prioritized and that the committee was only intended to
be for a limited duration.
5. DIRECTOR'S REPORT: McElwee highlighted the following areas:
· Schedule - The Spring Planning Session has been set
for April 20 at 12:30pm which is a normal Commission Meeting
date. The Commission will be attending a site tour April 12
at 10:00am.
· Staff & Administration - Staff will advertise
for the two vacant positions on the Budget Committee.
· Waterfront Recreation -Jeri McMaster has designed
a new Waterfront Safety Recreation Brochure which will be
paid for by the Port. This brochure will be brought back to
the Commission for final approval. There were suggestions
to add an area on the brochure for the Jet Skis that will
be used for the schools. Also there was a suggestion to post
a Warning Sign that Jet Ski usage for rescues are not agency
sponsored. The final suggestion was to expand the photo over
to the east end of the Marina to include the Marina Beach.
· Bridge/Transportation - Mowat work for the gas pipeline
will begin on April 19, 2010. This will result in nighttime
closures Monday through Thursday from 10:00pm-4:30am for up
to two weeks. Port maintenance staff will also use these closure
times to complete some deck maintenance.
6. REPORTS, PRESENTATIONS AND DISCUSSION ITEMS:
· Halyard Building Construction Update - Ken Andrews
from Milstead & Associates gave an update. Andrews explained
that there would be an overhang installed on the building
that will produce shadowing around the building. He has been
discussing with the architect regarding color of the building.
The architect will be producing new color samples. They will
come back to the Commission when this is complete. In one
week they will be pouring a closing strip to tie the roof,
floor and walls together. We will begin to see the crews cutting
holes for the skylights and the rubber roofing to be installed.
They will begin staining first then the windows will go in.
West and east ends have a potential for needing extra flashing
for the windows, but they will come back and make that recommendation
to the Commission at a later meeting. The construction schedule
is as follows: May 1, 2010 the building will be painted and
windows will be installed; May 8-10, 2010 paving will begin
and sidewalks will be put in. Andrews suggested that the HVAC
system possibly be added to the existing project because they
are still unsure of Tenant Improvements that will be needed.
· Bridge Report - David McCurry from HNTB gave a summary
of the report that the Port received from ODOT. This inspection
was funded with Federal Funds. The contractor that performed
the inspection was contracted with ODOT and the report produced
was very in-depth. HNTB was asked to interpret the report
to identify what is necessary. McCurry interpreted the report
to be separated into inspection and rehabilitation. He said
that for the age of the bridge it is in good shape. McCurry
explained Port staff needs to be vigilant with bridge rail
safety and conduct routine inspection of the rails for safety.
The nuts and bolts need to be tightened because the bridge
is a dynamic bridge dealing with all weather conditions. The
Port needs to remove traffic debris and dust as these accelerate
rusting. McCurry stated the bridge is in need of painting
and also a cleaning that could possibly be rolled into the
bridge painting. Spot painting is an option that will require
a lot of inspection near rust, joints and connections. If
the bridge is not maintained load reductions could occur or
possible closure in the future. The Port may need to consider
reducing the weight limit to prolong the life of the bridge.
Enforcing the weight limit is very difficult, but ODOT is
considering setting up portable scales in the future. There
were some engineering items also pointed out in the report.
Having the lift span on the bridge has caused issues. There
are two trusses that need a closer look coming up to the lift
span. The lift span needs to be monitored on a regular basis.
Should cracks develop they will need to be engineered. HNTB
will evaluate this. The Commission asked McCurry if the bridge
would last another 25 years and his response was that although
we are in a favorable climate for the steel bridge and still
with vigilant maintenance 25 years would be stretching it
in his opinion. McCurry also pointed out that there are a
lot of broken welds on the re-deck. He wasn't sure why this
occurred. The Commission requested that we add some tasks
to our contract with HNTB. Starting with setting up a criteria
time line for repairs such as measuring rust areas. McCurry
stated that a new bridge criterion is 75 years. McElwee suggested
that we need a work plan for the next few years for repairs.
This could possibly be added to the budget.
· Waterfront Marketing - Port staff and broker Lee
Ast completed a Waterfront Development Marketing Plan based
on discussion at the March 23 Commission meeting. The plan
has three components. The first being a list of specific tasks
and responsibilities to begin active marketing. The second
is public objectives to guide decision-making. Third, a list
of target values for each lot in the Waterfront Business Park
subdivision. Commissioner Watson suggested that the Marketing
Plan be added to the UTS Building RFP. Commissioner Bohn thought
that the fees for marketing be included in the broker's commission
fees. Commissioner Davies suggested that we share the costs
with the broker on the sign fees and all else should be included
in the commission fee. Davies said that we should be able
to market without the fee items. Commissioner Duckwall would
like to emphasize local businesses and costs appear mainly
to attract out of town companies. McElwee will talk with broker
Lee Ast regarding the fees.
· UTS Portsite Building - It has been confirmed from
existing tenants that they are not interested in responding
to the RFP for purchase.
· Western Power Building Landscape Update - In January,
the Commission authorized a brief planning study of the Western
Power Building (WPB). The study was intended to define the
site boundaries, evaluate building expansion and consider
various site and landscape improvements. simp.L landscape
architects put together two plans. The first is a site analysis
and concept diagram. The second is a site plan. The key ideas
for improving the property are: One, building expansion on
the west end of 6,600 sq. feet. The second, delineation of
a new developable lot adjacent to the park. Third, a new cul-de-sac
termination of Portway Avenue. Fourth, re-location of the
fence line adjacent to The Hook. Fifth, re-configured parking.
The new landscape design will reduce maintenance on the Hook
road but the cul-de-sac still allows for Hook access. Commissioner
Davies is concerned for the windsurfing community that they
will be greatly affected by re-configuring the parking to
six spaces from around 30 spaces. Davies would like to protect
the area for windsurfers. President Streich wants the fence
line moved to organize the area better. It would be cost effective
to move the fence line to lie west of the existing roadway.
Boeing has left the area, but the pavement is in very poor
shape. This project would have to go into the next fiscal
year. There will be more discussion at the Spring Planning
Session on April 20, 2010. The Commission agreed that staff
should move ahead on partitioning two lots.
· Pedestrian Footbridge Banner Policy - Staff is proposing
a policy regarding the placement of banners on the pedestrian
footbridge across the Hood River. This policy would provide
clear direction for both staff and the public. The Commission
agreed that the new policy should be advertised to the public
and that they must ask for permission to hang banners on the
pedestrian footbridge. This was added as Action Item f. with
suggestions from the Commission on phrasing.
· Draft Donation Policy - McElwee drafted a policy
regarding donations and fee waivers for discussion by the
Commission. Legal counsel Jaques was concerned that it may
be outside of the legal bounds. He explained that there may
be a personal liability on a Commissioner if they were to
approve a donation. Jaques recommendation to the Commission
was do not do any donations at all. Linda Shames, Finance
Manager, stated that she did some research on other government
agencies and could not find any that had a donation policy
regarding giving donations. These agencies only had policies
regarding receiving donations. In regards to fee waivers,
these are not considered donations. Foregoing fees is not
the same as giving money or bridge tickets, which are considered
a monetary donation. Commissioner Duckwall believes that the
Port shouldn't allow donations because the Commissioners donate
already as business owners to the community. The Commission
agreed that McElwee would re-draft the donation policy to
bring back to the Commission.
· Kiteboarding Teaching Concession Disposition - Brian's
Windsurfing & Kiteboarding was not selected for a kiteboard
concession agreement the recent solicitation process. The
Commission received public testimony about the RFP Process
and the recommendations of the evaluation committee as approved
by the Commission. Brian Schurton has submitted a letter seeking
permission to continue kiteboard instruction using jet skis
near Wells Island. Lessons would begin and end at either the
Event Site or The Hook. He has also requested that dry land
trainer kite flying occur on Lot 1. Then to shuttle students
to the Hook or ferry them by jet skis to Wells Island or areas
adjacent to the Hook. Staff was seeking direction from the
Commission. Commissioner Bohn didn't agree with this response
to the RFP Process and Commissioner Davies thought that Schurton
had a fair chance with the RFP Process. Bohn also said that
there is a written policy that does not allow kite flying
on Lot 1. McElwee recommended that Brian's Windsurfing &
Kiteboarding be given a one-year trial. Bohn stated that Schurton
should remove from his plan the liability of ferrying or shuttling
students. President Streich also agrees that Schurton be given
a one-year trial without the use of kite flying on Lot 1.

ACTION ITEMS:
a) Approve Contract with Hanel Development for Improvements
to Spit Road in an Amount Not to Exceed $10,337: Last year
civil engineer Shawn Summersett prepared a list of recommendations
and cost estimates for various Spit upgrades. Staff sought
quotes from three local contractors using these recommendations.
We received bids from Crestline Construction, Hanel Development
Group, LLC and Moore Excavation, Inc. Given their low quote
of $10,337 and demonstrated experience, staff recommends proceeding
with Hanel Development Group to do the project in the next
two weeks. Hanel's Daren McCafferty stated the main issues
that are causing potholes and continued degradation of the
road is poor drainage and high speeds of traffic. Hanel would
blade the existing road bed, pull gravel back from shoulders,
create a road crown and compact the entire length and create
two gravel speed bumps.
Motion:
Move to Approve Contract with Hanel Development for Improvements
to Spit Road in an Amount Not to Exceed $10,337
Move: Duckwall
Second: Bohn
Vote: Aye: Bohn, Davies, Duckwall, Streich, and Watson

c) Approve Interstate Bridge Guardrail Repair: Beginning April 19, 2010, Mowat will be performing work for Williams Pipeline for maintenance and painting the pipeline that is attached to the bridge. Due to bridge closures, the Port has requested Mowat repair guardrail damage on the north end of the bridge. This work will involve removing and pouring some concrete, reinstalling the posts and replacing the guardrail. Since this damage was the result of a traffic accident, Washington State Police has provided the Port the incident information for the Port to recover damages for the individual involved.

Port
of Hood River Waterfront Recreation Committee
Meeting Minutes of April 14, 2010
Marina Center Boardroom
3 P.M.
Attending: Members Doug Archbald, Cori Bison, Ann Frodel, Laney Gale, Forrest Rae (CGKA), Michael Schock, Lori Stirn (Parks & Rec); Commissioners Sherry Bohn and Jon Davies; from Port staff, Michael McElwee and Laurie Borton.
Absent: Tim Mayer (CGWA)
Guests: Craig Bishop (Gorge Gradients), Mark Worth (Gorge Kiteboarding), JaK Wilberscheid and Bryan Thomas (Hood River WaterPlay), Steve Gates (Big Winds); Josh Sceva (Hood River Yacht Club); Nick Stuart (CGKA)
Commissioner Sherry Bohn opened the meeting at 3:40 p.m., with members and guests introducing themselves. There were no additions to the agenda, and the following items were discussed:
Marina
Park
· C Dock Expansion - Bellingham Marine Industries will
be on site the first of next week to begin work on the south
expansion of C dock that will add 20 slips with 2 end ties.
A low freeboard dock extension will also be added to the main
walkway's eastern piers providing storage for 6 to 8 shells.
The 2010 moorage rate did not increase from the previous year;
however, an allocation of $4.25/month was assessed to existing
tenants, and tenants placed in slips in the new expansion
will be assessed an additional $8.25/month. Moorage rates
for Hood River, Cascade Locks, and The Dalles are competitive.
The cost of the dock expansion is approximately $240,000 which
does not include "soft costs." This summer the pump-out
equipment will also be replaced. The project will be funded
100% by the Oregon State Marine Board and the cost has been
estimated at $50,000.
- Action Item (for fall meeting): Discussion of preferential pricing and/or placement for locals?
· CGKA Proposal for Designated Area at Swim Beach for Kite Pumping, Drying, and Carrying Inflated Kites to the Sandbar - CGKA provided comments on their proposal, reiterating the area would be designated for intermediate and advanced kiters. The eastern corner of the swim beach (and to the immediate western edge of the restroom) was selected as the area to pump and dry kites to alleviate congestion of family use on the west, grassy area and to keep kites upwind of people.
An analysis by Port staff was not available for today's meeting but will be available for Committee review at the meeting to be scheduled next week. Specific discussions raised the following questions: Would there be a charge for parking with this user fee going to support the area? Would a fee be considered for kiteboarders only (but it would be difficult to charge some and not others)? Would the area be open for access to the sandbar as a launch site when The Spit is closed on the days prior to, on, and after the July 4th holiday? Would the Marina Park/Beach be made available as a location option to schools? Could a line of buoys be placed as a way to notify kiters of downwind hazards?
From general discussion, there was preliminary consensus from the Committee that the proposal should be considered. Once the Committee has an opportunity to review the staff analysis, a recommendation will then go to the Port Commission for action; and if approved, a change to Port Ordinance 22 will be necessary.
Delta
Update
· Memorandum of Understanding with Department of State
Lands - The original MOU for cooperative management of the
Delta was developed in 2007. CGKA initiated conversations
first with DSL and then with the Port regarding a revision
of the document because of their concern that use of the public
land was being restricted or diminished by the Port-permitted
concession schools. The agreements that will be written in
2010 for the permitted kiteboarding concession schools operating
from the Delta will specify the business must operate from
Port property; however, the Port cannot be the enforcement
mechanism if (and when) instruction occurs from public lands.
No fences, cones, or lines will delineate Port/DSL property
and everyone will have to work together and use common sense
to understand that use of the public land cannot be restricted
by any one school, organization, or event. A first draft of
the MOU, which was just presented to the Committee at today's
meeting, was presented for review with the request that comments
be submitted to staff within the next week. Formal comments
will also be requested from the CGKA and CGWA boards, who
will be signatories on the MOU along with the Port and Oregon
Department of State Lands.
· Waterfront Safety Guide - The brochure, which is an exhibit
to the MOU, and which will also be fabricated in large signs
to be placed at various Waterfront locations, was discussed.
The brochure is still a work-in-progress and staff requested
that comments on the brochure also be provided to staff within
the next week. During the meeting discussion, there were conflicting
opinions on the "5 MPH Safe Zone" in front of the
Event Site. The new draft shows the zone reduced in size by
about half from the 2007 brochure with the idea that the original
area was too big and not delineated well enough so it was
being ignored. Another concern had to do with the Jet Ski
use in and around the Event Site. It was noted that Jet Ski
use is not limited to schools (who are required by the Port
to have this rescue service available during lessons) and
that schools tend to be more conservative and safety-minded
because of their insurance liability, not to mention the investment
in the equipment.
Event
Site
· Parking Passes - There will be no increase in user
fee prices in 2010. Daily parking at the Event Site is $5
and $2 for The Spit. If a vehicle combination or RV is over
22 feet the daily parking fee at the Event Site is $10. The
season pass, which may be used at either the Event Site or
The Spit is $50. At the Event Site only, the season pass for
vehicles over 22 feet is $100. A family pass may be purchased
for additional family vehicles for $20. These passes must
be purchased at the Port office because registrations for
both vehicles must be presented for verification of a family
connection.
· Event Host - Initially the host served a purpose
in talking to users about leash laws, appropriate water sport
usage at the Event Site, lost & found, and nighttime "security."
Use of the host was discontinued in 2009 mainly due to personality
conflicts. The Committee was asked if use of a Host should
be reinstated. There was discussion that a Host, who could
be identified by wearing a "host" vest, could circulate
between sites (Event Site, The Spit, and The Hook) if for
no other reason than to deter thefts. No decision was made
at this meeting regarding use of an Event Site Host in 2010.
Further discussion is planned for next week's meeting.
· Stand Up Paddleboard Events - Use of the Event Site
for SUP events during the 'height' of the busy season was
questioned last year. There was only one organized event permitted
last year, although SUPs are known to be an element of other
events. The Committee was reminded the Event Site was just
that - to be used for events and not just a windsurfing access
point or for kiteboarding when permitted by exclusive use.
· Use of Cruise Ship Dock by Schools/Food Vendors -
With more schools asking for a presence on the cruise ship
dock this year, staff will be allocating spaces for use by
schools and possibly food vendors. The 2007-2009 kiteboarding
permits allowed for a 200 SF space on the cruise ship dock
which the three schools on the dock last year did not honor.
· Parking South of Portway - Parking revenue is being
lost by people parking either on Portway Avenue, Lot 1, or
N. 1st Street. An honor system payment box was suggested,
along with signage reminding users how the parking fees are
used.
The
Spit
· Demo Sponsorships - A draft Sponsorship Agreement
was provided for discussion. The major change was a request
that all schools sign the Agreement supporting the event;
and that insurance be provided not only by the event applicant
but by all vendors as well. In prior years equipment demos
were primarily hosted by one school/one vendor with the school
providing insurance coverage. Events last year were bigger
and often last-minute. In consideration of the public lands
issue and not wanting to contribute to any restrictions or
limitations-either for the public or for the permitted schools-staff
drafted a revised agreement that required all permitted schools
to agree that an event would not impact their operations and
that they were supportive of a demo/event. There was discussion
that getting all schools to sign off was too prohibitive and
that it was more appropriate to have only the schools at The
Spit agree to a demo or event that did not involve them directly.
Staff will revise the form accordingly. For events on the
sandbar, which is public land, access is still through Port
property, and the fee structure as established in 2007 will
be required.
· Ad Hoc Committee - At the April 1 meeting of the
Spit Improvement Committee, it was determined the committee
had finished its task of identifying and prioritizing projects.
The main priorities, which are financially feasible, include
road resurfacing (re-grading existing materials to build a
crown for proper runoff), removing blackberries, and reconfiguring
parking (keeping in mind the need to maintain access for emergency
vehicles). Bringing utilities to the site (water, electricity,
and restrooms) will be difficult and costly projects that
likely will not be done in the immediate term. There was a
brief discussion regarding whether a 25-foot or a 75-foot
setback was required for a composting toilet, which would
not be a permanent structure. There was also a request for
additional gravel mid-season to help with dust in the parking
lot.
Other
· School Pre-Season Meeting - With staffing changes
in 2009 a pre-season school meeting did not get scheduled.
Staff realizes this is going to be even more important this
year with a revised Delta Management Plan (MOU with Department
of State Lands), revised Waterfront Safety Guide, and space
allocations on the cruise ship dock. A majority of the schools
should be back in town the first part of May and a meeting
will be scheduled.
· Lost & Found - Staff will work on formalizing
a Lost & Found Policy that will provide guidelines for
donating items to a 501(c)(3), such as CGWA. CGKA is in the
process of completing paperwork at this time.
Next
Meeting
· A follow-up meeting will be scheduled for the week

Following lunch, President Hoby Streich called the spring planning work session to order at 12:53 p.m.
1. Work Session Objectives: President Streich told the Commission their input would be important in providing direction to staff this coming fiscal year and he asked them to please voice their opinion. Streich thanked the Commissioners for their time commitment and thanked staff for their work in preparing for today's meeting.
2. Key Issues: Executive Director Michael McElwee reiterated that today's discussion would provide overall direction to staff as well as feed into the FY 2010/2011 budget. In review of this past year, McElwee commented there had been some major expenditures but for good reasons-construction of the Halyard Building on the waterfront (the first building in many years), waterfront infrastructure improvements, a dock expansion in the Marina, and potential purchase of the Luhr Jensen Building. McElwee said he anticipates there will be a pause on capital projects this next fiscal year with a shift to upgrades of current assets.
3. Financial Overview: Linda Shames, Finance Manager, and McElwee lead the discussion based largely on the financial model provided by consultant Steve Siegel that was developed for planning purposes to evaluate conceptual and theoretical outcomes. McElwee polled the Commission on their comfort level on reserves for capital projects and inquired if it should be a policy? There was general discussion of $3 million, with the bottom level being $2.5 million. Shames commented the Port has assets which could be borrowed against; but she also said there should be consideration for the amount of expenses associated with a project or if the project is non-revenue producing. The following areas were highlighted by Shames during her financial overview; with further discussion throughout the planning work session discussions of all asset areas:
· Bridge: A Resolution requires the debt operating services cannot fall below more than 1.3 times the debt service ($700,000); these funds are not required to be held in a bank. The last bond payment on the bridge will be made in 2018; and after all expenses are paid discretionary spending of bridge revenues is allocated to other Port assets. The option of raising the cash toll has been on ongoing Commission discussion that will continue at the fall planning session but Shames recommended any increase should be tied in with a specific project so customers can see how the money is being used - the bridge painting project was used for an example. The need to factor more money into the financial model for bridge repair/longevity funding was recommended as a useful tool in requests for funding.
· Tenant Buildings: Shames reported all buildings are nearly full and provide positive cash flow; however, it is still not enough to cover long term maintenance and upgrades.
4. Discussion of Port Facilities: As already mentioned, the shift this next fiscal year will be on upgrades to current assets. Specific reference was given to the following facilities:
· Bridge: Shames indicated her goal for the coming fiscal year was to secure backup expertise for the BreezeBy system due to Mr. Hautamaki's semi-retirement; and to prepare a schedule indicating equipment life/replacement dates.
· Tenant Buildings: Mike Doke, Marketing Manager, reported the Visitors Center will be taking Transient Room Tax (TRT) funds from the Chamber of Commerce and there is momentum by the Visitors Center to decouple from the Chamber. Doke speculated the Chamber may approach the Port requesting a renewal in 2011 at the current lease rate. The Hood River Yacht Club has indicated an interest in expanding the yard space. If a Purchase Agreement for the Luhr Jenson Building is approved by the Commission in May, leases will need to be negotiated for existing tenants who do not have current and/or signed leases. The services of architect Kevin Cooley have been retained to look at tenant space options and the potential relocation of UTS tenants as the current location will not meet expansion needs; but lease prices will need to be comparable in order to keep these businesses in Hood River. Action to approve the sale of the Whitaker house at the John Weber Business Park is also anticipated for Commission action in May. Revenues for the Wasco Business Park are positive this year with lots being sold (with some re-sold by the original buyer). Although the buyers may not have started construction, the issuance of building permits satisfies requirements of the Purchase Agreements.
· Waterfront Development: A Request for Proposals (RFP) has been issued for lots within the waterfront subdivision with a response deadline of April 30. McElwee commented discussion on the Waterfront Business Park Marketing Plan would be held in Regular Session. Western Power Building improvements will be a priority this coming year but there were conflicting discussions about demolition of the building or adding on as current lease rates are good for the industrial space. In recent meetings, the Commission had discussed the possibility of adding on to the building; however, McElwee recommended the addition be taken off the table and for now the cul-de-sac at the Portway Avenue termination and bioswales should be revisited. Financial modeling includes a placeholder in 2011 for development of another Port building in 2013. Location of the construction may depend on results from the RFP. Planning for Lot 1 should move forward next year so conceptual illustrations show more than "white space." There is uncertainty, however, on the IAMP impact as currently written since ODOT's plan is built on conceptions of a zone that might never be. Discussion will be ongoing regarding zoning modification requests and the right fit for development as well as whether or not there is a need for further public outreach, or if development should occur if there are still vacant lots within the Business Park subdivision.
· Waterfront Recreation/Marina Basin: Recreational assets produce very little revenue; however, the Marina Moorage is generally self-supporting. Shames reported that $250,000 is required to cover costs of this asset category. There will be no change in the collection of user fees for parking privileges at The Event Site and The Spit. McElwee commented that he foresees the Delta issue intensifying regarding access issues of Port/public land. A cooperative effort of all parties to work together will be required. Staff will work on developing a rack card, as suggested by the Commission, to inform visitors of Port amenities; i.e. Riverfront Trail, swim beaches, sports sites. McElwee informed the Commission a presentation by the History Museum would be made at a meeting in May on their plans for expansion that would involve Marina Park property.
· Airport: A T-hangar expansion could be a possibility but would also be dependent upon a runway shift and moving the FBO to the north side of the airfield. It was suggested that an expansion cost could be factored into the financial model. An airport neighbor would like an agreement with the Port winter maintenance of a private driveway once the Orchard Road vacation occurs. Any agreement entered into will be for the current property owner and not be transferrable to future owners. Fencing along the airport boundaries will be addressed where ingress is an issue. This action is a result of FAA requirements. Staff is working with legal counsel relative to an enforcement policy at the airport, which will likely be written in the form of an Ordinance (No. 23). Staff is also working with the FBO regarding a demand for jet fuel. Before any expense is incurred by the Port there needs to be an understanding for demand, a determination of financial worth, and how long it would take to recoup the investment.
5. Policy/Strategy Areas:
· Economic Development Role: The County is eliminating
the Economic Development Coordinator position. While some
functions will be assumed by the Planning Director, staff
will continue working with the County to determine the Port's
role. The Commission said it would be important to identify
the correct contact person or agency to refer people to that
have in interest in relocating to the area.
· Community Outreach: Once or twice a year the Commission will hold meetings in the mid or upper valley to connect with a different segment of Port constituents. In conjunction with this outreach plan, consideration will be given to reactivating the Communications Committee.
· Bridge: With competing requests for federal funding, there was a question regarding a strategy for seeking funding if support from the Port's lobbyist or our local congressional representatives were impacted. With revenues allocated to other assets, the "what if" question was asked - Shames said that under certain circumstances insurance would cover a one year loss, keeping in mind that debt service would continue.
· Marina Basin: The Commission will need to consider a conceptual strategy for use of re-allocated funds from the Frontage Road Feasibility Study.
· Waterfront Development: The Commission was asked by McElwee if there was still support if Insitu comes back to the Port. He also noted the financial model contained a placeholder for Riverside Drive improvements as a economic development benefit.
President Streich ended the work session at 6:00 p.m. The
Regular Meeting of the Port Commission immediately followed
after a short recess.

Commissioner, Committee Reports:
· Urban Renewal Committee - The committee met on April
15. President Streich reported the Columbia-Cascade District,
which has been in place since 1986 and with projects identified
that remain to be completed, is due to sunset in June 2012.
The Urban Renewal Agency, however, cannot incur additional
debt after June 2010. In order to borrow funds for the remaining
projects, the Agency must extend the Plan for another 10 years.
City Manager Bob Francis will contact each tax district to
determine if there is an interest in renewing the Columbia-Cascade
District. Streich reported, however, that there was a consensus
of committee members that it was not a necessity to finish
the remaining projects and the Plan should be allowed to sunset.
Streich also commented that the Urban Renewal Agency budget
had been approved, and he asked that any Commissioner who
sat on a budget committee that had interaction with the Port
to please contact Finance Manager Linda Shames to discuss
the Port's role.
· Waterfront Recreation Committee - Commissioners Sherry
Bohn and Jon Davies reported on the April 14 meeting. With
a full agenda the meeting, which was scheduled to end at 5:00
p.m., did not adjourn until 5:45 p.m. and the committee will
schedule another meeting before the end of the month for follow-up
discussions on the revised Delta Management Plan and the Waterfront
Safety Guide brochure; CGKA's proposal for sandbar access
from the Marina Beach; and whether or not a Host should be
considered for the Event Site in 2010. Bohn reported there
was a request to discuss Marina Moorage rate differentials
and preferential treatment for Port district residents, however,
this discussion was held over to a fall meeting. Bohn also
said regular meetings will be scheduled (February, April,
July and October were suggested) so the committee can become
more proactive than reactive. Bohn also commented that she
believed the Delta management and kite access (or kite congestion)
will continue to be a contentious issue.
4.
ACTION ITEMS:
a) Approve Change Order No. 4 to Existing Contract with Robinson
Construction, Inc.
for Various Construction Items at the Halyard Building in
an Amount Not to Exceed
$14,109.94: Executive Director Michael McElwee presented Change
Order No. 4 for one reduction (HVAC controls) and three additions
(cornice framing, sheet metal revisions, and HVAC unit upsize)
resulting in an overall contract increase of $14,109.94. McElwee
noted the project's contingency would accommodate the cost
increase.
Motion: Move to Approve Change Order No. 4 to Existing Contract
with Robinson Construction, Inc. for Various Construction
Items at the Halyard Building in an Amount Not to Exceed $14,109.94.
Move: Duckwall
Second: Davies
Vote: Aye: Bohn, Davies, Duckwall, Streich, and Watson
MOTION CARRIED
b) Authorize ConnectOregon III Rural Airports Program Grant Application: Mike Doke, Marketing Manager, reported the airport's engineer, Century West Engineering Corporation, had encouraged the Port to apply for a ConnectOregon III Rural Airports Program grant that, if successful, would be applied to the Orchard Road vacation project intended to allow a runway shift without monies from other Port resources. The Port's five percent (5%) of the $343,481 total would be $17,174.
Motion:
Move to Authorize ConnectOregon III Rural Airports Program
Grant Application.
Move: Watson
Second: Bohn
Vote: Aye: Bohn, Davies, Duckwall, Streich, and Watson
MOTION CARRIED
c)
Approve Revised Waterfront Business Park Marketing Plan and
Budget and Authorize Expenditure of $5,250: Doke presented
an updated task list and an overall marketing budget proposal
of $5,250 for discussion. At the April 6 meeting the Commission
asked for clarification on which costs were appropriate for
the broker to assume and which costs should be carried by
the Port. After discussion with broker Lee Ast, of Ast Commercial
Real Estate, some of the marketing costs were identified as
either being optional or relating to overall Port marketing
and community outreach and should be covered by the Port.
Doke noted the Port's participation would not be limited to
this budget. As part of the community outreach effort, staff
plans to develop editorial content that will lead up to the
proposed Halyard Building open house.
Two items generating much discussion by the Commission were
the sign rendering and POHR Development signage costs of $2,500
and $1,000 respectively. Bohn questioned why these were not
costs being covered by the broker. She stated that from conversations
with other brokers, these costs should be covered by Ast who
is being paid a 6% commission. Bohn also inquired if the Commission
shouldn't step back and take a look at Ast's agreement for
broker services. She was not happy to now be quibbling over
a small amount but also commented that tenant prospects Ast
brought to the Port were contacts that we already had. Bohn
and Davies both commented that they weren't impressed when
Ast presented information to the Commission but that they
were also trying to separate out any personality issues and
be objective in figuring out what a broker does. Commissioner
Watson admitted that Ast's personality at the Commission meetings
was quite different than what she knew personally and she
stated that he has a good rapport and knows how to work with
people. McElwee commented that Ast is a professional and he
is confident Ast will aggressively go after local businesses
with marketing leads. With respect to the industrial park
rendering signage, McElwee stated it was Ast's opinion this
was a bigger, more extravagant, and premium sign that should
be the owner's expenses; however, he is willing to contribute
$250 towards the cost. Doke intervened to reiterate that he
viewed the sign as more of a community outreach rather than
marketing. Commissioner Duckwall then suggested that the sign
should not bear the broker's name as the sign's longevity
would be more useful in case brokers changed, and Ast could
separately place one of his own signs as the contact broker.
Doke said that he was not sure if or how this idea would fit
into the City's sign code.
Motion:
Move to Approve Revised Waterfront Business Park Marketing
Plan and Budget and Authorize Expenditure of $5,250, With
Caveat That the Broker's Name is Not Included on the Industrial
Park Rendering Signage.
Move: Duckwall
Second: Watson
Vote: Aye: Bohn, Davies, Duckwall, Streich, and Watson
MOTION CARRIED

Meeting Minutes of April 29, 2010
County Library Meeting Room
3:30 P.M.
Attending: Members Doug Archbald, Cori Bison, Ann Frodel, Laney Gale, Pepi Gerald, Michael Schock, Forrest Rae (CGKA), Katie Crafts (CGWA), Lori Stirn (Parks & Rec); Commissioner Sherry Bohn; from Port staff, Michael McElwee and Laurie Borton.
Absent: Laney Gale; Commissioner Jon Davies
Guests: Bruce Peterson, Sam Bauer
Commissioner Sherry Bohn opened the meeting at 3:30 p.m., with members and guests introducing themselves. The objective of the meeting was to reach consensus to provide direction to the Port Commission on the following agenda items:
Marina
Park
·
A staff analysis [here]
was prepared to provide some context and background to address
the CGKA Proposal for a designated area at the Marina Park
swim beach for kite pumping, drying, and carrying inflated
kites to the sandbar. Executive Director Michal McElwee commented
the CGKA proposal was reasonable, and while various issues
could be argued and debated, he would propose the Committee
send a recommendation to the Port Commission that CGKA's proposal
be approved, with the following provisions:
1.
Trial period for the summer 2010 season with follow-up assessment
of issues and impacts;
2. Install signage (Port's task);
3. Install buoys (Port's task);
4. Seek public feedback prior to implementation and changes
through newspaper notices and Port website;
5. Seek specific input from the Hood River Yacht Club; and
6. CGKA to take active role to monitor use
Comments on the signage from committee members and guests emphasized the launch point should be made very clear and that the message of the text should be as simple and as large as possible for easy and quick reading. A clarification question was asked of CGKA if they foresee any issues with lawn space. Forrest Rae said the "No Kite Area" and area for pumping and drying kites was clearly separated from the beach lawn. Cori Bison provided 4th of July photos from a couple years ago which showed swimmers at the beach and kiters on the northwestern edge of the Marina sandbar and she did not witness any problems. There was a question about the need for additional warning buoys on the east side of the Marina sandbar. Staff will work with the Marine Deputy on buoys.
Motion:
Move the CGKA proposal be presented for approval at the next
Port Commission meeting.
Move: Frodel
Second: Schock
Discussion: Staff will work with CGKA regarding signage.
Vote: Unanimous
Delta Update
· Memorandum of Understanding with Department of State
Lands - McElwee commented the April 27 version of the MOU
represented, for the most part, word-smithing and typographical
changes. The key issue for discussion, however, was the Safe
Zone in front of the Event Site. Should it remain a 600 ft.
area or be reduced? There were conflicting opinions about
shortening the Zone-was it too far out and not respected (or
enforced) or should it be moved in and made imore identifiable.
It was questioned if the Safe Zone shouldn't be more in line
with the people who use it; i.e. 600 feet is a long distance
for windsurfers or kiters to swim to shore. Ann Frodel suggested
leaving it as is but 'market' it better. She did say, however,
that Oregon State Marine Board regulations require a 200-ft.
Safe Zone for personal watercraft to observe a slow-no wake-maximum
5 mph speed limit, and the 200 ft. distance is measured from
shoreline, bank dock, ramp, pier, etc. (OAR 250-21-0030).
Another suggestion was the use of a variety of colored buoys
to mark distances, but after discussion this suggestion was
not supported. The following consensus was reached:
1)
Keep the buoys parallel to the grass;
2) Place three buoys 200 feet from the jetty, which are 150
feet in length, so the Safe Zone will extend 350 feet north
of the Event Site;
3) Text will indicate a 5 mph Safe Zone;
4) Memorandum of Understanding was approved with modification
of Safe Zone at 350 feet; and
5) Placement of similar buoys and signage is needed for the
Nichols Boat Basin and "slackwater beach" for Jet
Ski users
Event Site
· Event Host - Staff was unclear if direction had been
given at the April 14 meeting regarding the need for a Host
at the Event Site and asked the Committee for clarification.
Everyone agreed that personality conflicts diminished the
usefulness of the prior host, but a purpose was served especially
with Lost & Found and having a nighttime presence to discourage
people from collecting equipment that later may have ended
up being sold at swap meets. McElwee said there was an inherent
value if the right person was found, and it would be the recommendation
of staff that a Host be allowed to remain onsite in their
RV during the summer season. If the suggestion moves forward,
Crafts recommended an assessment of the Host, much like an
employee review. Pepi Gerald also suggested that three people
from the Committee could participate in an interview process.
Laurie Borton said that one couple from Canada has expressed
an interest if the Host 'position' were offered again; however,
they would not be available until the end of June. She also
said that JaK Wilberscheid of Hood River WaterPlay, who had
experienced theft and vandalism problems from time to time,
and who had reported 23 separate occurrences to the Hood River
Police, recommended a couple who were relocating to the Northwest
from Texas who are interested in being the Event Site "Concierge"
(thanks, Doug, for the new title suggestion!). The following
consensus was reached:
1) The use of a Host should be revisited, with Ann, Cori, and Forrest volunteering to participate in the interview process. (Ann also volunteered Lori Stirn, who had already left the meeting.)
Other - Agenda Addition
· Kite Pumping and Drying Area at the Event Site -
McElwee asked for clarification on the area at the Event Site
that is allowed for pumping, drying, and carrying inflated
kites - asking if there had been discussion to consider moving
the line slightly to the west to align with the pine trees.
All members of the Committee recalled discussion recommending
the line adjustment.
· Kiteboarding at Event Site from October 1 to April
30 - Pepi had reminded staff by email earlier in the day about
the April 30 deadline. Staff will post signs and a large reader
board will remind kiters that rigging, launching and landing
at the Event Site is not allowed after April 30.
· Approval of April 14 Committee Meeting Minutes:
Motion:
Move to approve the minutes from the April 14, 2010 Waterfront
Recreation Committee meeting.
Move: Frodel
Second: Gerald
Vote: Unanimous
Next Meeting
· There was committee consensus for the meeting schedule
that was proposed by Bohn. She suggested that it would be
more proactive rather than reactive to hold a regular meeting
schedule of two pre-season meetings (February, April), one
mid-season meeting (July), and one post season wrap-up meeting
(October). The date for the July meeting was not established.
Commissioner Bohn adjourned the meeting at 4:40 p.m.
