months of physical therapy ahead. Harold incurred over $200,000 in expenses
that will not be covered by health insurance; the family has been
devastated by these events. They say “It takes a Village,” so we, as
friends are rallying to build “Harold’s Village” to help support him on his
road to recovery.  You can join in helping, by making a donation at

9. GeorgeV: Netflix has a documentary called "The Culture High". To
become better informed about drugs, both legal and not, watch this
documentary. At the next regular City Council Meeting - April 5 - the
Council will vote on whether to refer to the voters the decision to
not allow retail recreational marijuana to be sold in Cannon Beach.
Only the voters can make this decision. If the Council chooses not to
refer it to the voters, the voters can by initiative put it on the
November ballot themselves. The Council has authority to set Time,
Place and Manner restrictions, but not to disallow it. Local voters
passed legalization by a 2-1 margin. Marijuana, like alcohol, is under
the jurisdiction of the OLCC. Retail marijuana stores must be
standalone stores and not within 1000 ft of a state mandated school or
within a certain distance of another retail marijuana store. Using
marijuana is not permitted within the store or in public. Disallowing
or placing restrictions on marijuana sales would be the first time a
type of business would be regulated by the city. Currently alcohol
sales are regulated by the state, not the city. City ordinances apply
to all businesses.

10. JasonS: A new police officer is on board - Mathew Nunnally.

11. LindaD: Be careful not to let your health insurance lapse. To get
reinstalled you have to wait for the next registration cycle.
12. GeorgeV: Thursday April 7 at 830am and again at 530pm - BUSINESS
CONTINUITY AND EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS - No business is immune from the
effects of an emergency situation and every business should have a plan of
action that is commensurate with their needs. This forum will focus on the
importance of preparing your business, your employees, and protecting your

that is a good read. -

16. CourtC: 600 High School Students are expected at the Apr 5 Job Fair at

17. GeorgeV: With enrollment on a steady decline and prospects for more of
the same, the board and director of the Cannon Beach Children's Center has
decided to close their doors at the end of April. The Center has been
losing $5400 per month in spite of the City's $5250 per month subsidy.

9. GeorgeV: At the next regular City Council Meeting - April 5 - the
Council will vote on whether to refer to the voters the decision to
not allow retail recreational marijuana to be sold in Cannon Beach.
Only the voters can make this decision. If the Council chooses not to
refer it to the voters, the voters can by initiative put it on the
November ballot themselves. The Council has authority to set Time,
Place and Manner restrictions, but not to disallow it. Local voters
passed legalization by a 2-1 margin. Marijuana, like alcohol, is under
the jurisdiction of the OLCC. Retail marijuana stores must be
standalone stores and not within 1000 ft of a state mandated school or
within a certain distance of another retail marijuana store. Using
marijuana is not permitted within the store or in public. Disallowing
or placing restrictions on marijuana sales would be the first time a
type of business would be regulated by the city. Currently alcohol
sales are regulated by the state, not the city. City ordinances apply
to all businesses.
