We do have white bellied birds at Haystack Rock, but they are murres. As for our puffins, they are slow in coming back this year. Only 6 have been counted so far whereas in 2010 more than 100 were here by now. Nala thinks it too early for alarm.

>>9. KatieV: Tom Horning, North Coast Land Conservancy board member, joined Katie today. The removal of the dike at Circle Creek to alleviate flooding on Hwy 101 is not a litigation or mitigation but rather a cooperation with the State. Material which was pushed up to create the dike will be pushed back where it came from.
>>
>>10. KathyK: Is the Children’s Center going to get the funding it needs? KatieV: Parent of a student there. The Center is the only State accredited one between Warrenton and Nehalem. It serves much more than Cannon Beach. Approx $60k comes from the City Cannon Beach. No other city is supporting it currently, but the goal is to change that. The cost to students would be double if not for subsidies. Tom Horning says as a member of the Seaside Park and Rec, he know they are looking at possibly budgeting $20k for it.

The group owns 700 acres in Seaside’s Necanicum estuary. They are working with the State on litigation for removal of the dike at Circle Creek. This will alleviate flooding over the road by an estimated 12 inches. Katie is the director. Betsy is a volunteer.

>>3. GeorgeV: City Council has a TAC worksession scheduled for April 10th at 530pm at City Hall. This meeting is to review and discuss the use and distribution on funds from the City Lodging tax. WendyH: A challenge that recipient groups have had is getting the money in time for their event and in potentially not getting what was expected due to a drop in lodging occupancy. Suggestion is to not fund event with too little lead time and to budget and fund from money in hand rather than an estimate. At question is how much should be spent on an event itself vs the promotion of that event.

>>15. GeorgeV: “How the Other Half Loves” opened last weekend and runs through Apr 22 at Coaster Theatre. In this brilliantly crafted, hilarious comedy, two couples in their own homes, the Fosters and the Phillipses, are visible to us but not to each other. That the characters cross so blithely into each other's spaces is an apt metaphor for the double-dealings brought on by illicit affairs. Telephone calls are made to the wrong wife or husband; idiotic conversations or hang-ups abound. When the hapless Featherstones are invited to dinner, Ayckbourn's strategic ploys step up another unbelievable notch. http://www.coastertheatre.com/OtherHalf.html
