3. Officer Josh Gregory and Officer Devon Edwards made a presentation on
adding a K-9 Officer to the Cannon Beach Police Force. One function would
be performing positive community relations through canine demonstrations.
The canine would live and work with its handler - either Josh or Devon -
whichever is chosen after today's panel interview. The canine would be
trained in two specialities. 1. Detection (drugs). 2. Search and Rescue.
The canine would not be trained to apprehend and therefore would not bite
or chase - just smell and alert his handler. K-9's are rewarded with a ball
- not food. You can help with 1. A letter of support, 2. Spread the word.
3. Supply equipment/services to start and sustain the program (Veterinarian

appointed a year or so ago, will run along with Elaine Trucke, Becky

www.searanchrv.com

7. TracyA/JimP/All: The last of the Spring Cruise Ship Tour buses have come
and gone. They will be back in August/Sept as they transition back to the
Caribbean. Six ships sent buses with an average of about 100 people per
ship to Cannon Beach and Seaside. This is an opportunity to leave a
favorable impression on first time visitors who have but one hour to soak
us in, but who will come back if we treat them right. Bruce's Candy Kitchen
supplied taffy and small plastic bags to fit 3 pieces of taffy which were
handed to visitors as they stepped off the buses. We need to be better
organized when 8 ships make their way back south. KathyK: There is a group
in Astoria - Cruise Hosts - that we should coordinate and work with.
Besides the Cruise Ships heading to and from Alaska, there are American
Empress riverboat cruises that come from Lewiston ID down the Columbia to
Astoria They too offer bus tours, but have not been coming to Cannon Beach.

8. GeorgeV: Look for an email from the Chamber asking whether you would pay
a minimum of $15 per month to have your business name, address, phone in a
full page ad once per month in the weekly Coast Weekend. If enough (approx
fifty $15 advertisers, fewer if larger ads) people respond, the Chamber
will add $150. Coast Weekend will then be brought back to town.

9. CarrieP: Cannon Beach Magazine is now taking ad commitments for the 2015
Magazine. Save 5% by reserving your space by June 30th and paying by July
31. Keep in mind too that Chamber Members get $175 off their ads. contact
