14. GeorgeV: AirBnB approached the City and offered to enter into a
contract whereby they would collect lodging taxes and remit to the City in
exchange for being immune from audits except for once in 4 years and then
to only look at a 12 month period. They would not share who their clients
were but would send a lump sum for all their Cannon Beach clients.
Currently they do not collect or pay the lodging tax, so Cannon Beach
clients need to build the tax into the prices they charge on AirBnB as they
are liable for the tax. For now, the City will not sign the contract.

1. JohnB: Practice for the new concert season for Cannon Beach Chorus begins
Monday January 8th at 630pm at the Community Church (now the Community
Covenant Church). New voices are welcome. This is the 30th Anniversary
year. The next concert will feature all American music and will premier a
new piece being written by a composer from Twin Falls ID. See
www.cannonbeachchorus.org
2. GeorgeV: A recent column in the Gazette by Cannon Beach resident John
Huismann suggested that instead of raising water/sewer rates for everyone,
that they be raised for hotels and vacation rentals. Or, stop spending
lodging tax dollars on advertising and instead fund essential services like
sewer and water. GregS: State law stipulates how lodging tax dollars can be
spent and the dollars currently spent on advertising can not be used for
essential services. MaryK: it may be true that the system required to
supply water for residents and visitors is more complex and therefore
expensive than what would be necessary for just residents, but isn't that
to the benefit of residents who are able to benefit from a system that
would not be affordable without visitors dollars. GregS: How about the idea
of a non-usage fee on homes that sit empty, but still require that plenty
of water be available when owners or guests show up. And/or a food/beverage
tax where water consumption is high.
3. KevanR: "Cannon Beach Eats" is a culinary festival that will take place
in May. The Chamber has received $25K from the County (part of lodging
taxes collected in Arch Cape) to fund this event. An event coordinator will
be contracted. More details to follow.
4. GregS: A lot of money is being left on the table because we do not have
a sales tax. People are used to paying it. GeorgeV: The downside of Oregon
adding a sales tax is that we would have to create a second bureaucracy (we
already have one collecting income tax). One of the reasons some people
come to Oregon and the reason they spend as much as they do is because we
don't have a sales tax. [5 states do not have a sales tax - OR, AL, DE, MT,
NH] BobNer: Some Canadian visitors find the exchange rate
palatable because there is no sales tax.
5. SheriR: Boy Scout Troup 642 and Necanicum Watershed Council are taking

1. GeorgeV: Much of last night's City Council Work Session [and today's
WMM] was taken up by discussion of the cost of delivering water, disposing
of waste water and drainage. A study by Civil West Engineering Services
revealed needed upkeep and improvements over a 20 year period. Rates here
have been lower than our neighbors for some time and in recent years have
been subsidized by the general fund (lodging tax, property tax, etc). To
fulfill the recommendations in the study, a large increase in rates is
required. Currently users with a 3/4" meter (most users) pay a base fee
which includes 400 Cubic Feet (approx 3000gal) for $17.94. Each 100 CF is
$4.48. The manner and pace of rate increases was debated. The Public Works
Advisory Board (Committee) recommended only going so far as to include 50%
of study recommendations and phase those increases in over 5 years - 16%,
7%, 7%, 6%, 7%. The Council consensus was to start off with the 16% and
then have our recently hired Public Works Director and just hired City
Manager take time to inform citizens, study further and look for possible
grants and matching funds. Questions raised (some last night, some today)
were: Should businesses pay a surtax since their customers (visitors)
create demand for a higher volume water system than would otherwise be
needed? Should lodging tax dollars be used to subsidize? Should there be a
tax on food purchased at restaurants? Is it prudent to only fund 50% of the
study's recommendations? Should second-home owners pay a surtax for the
privilege of owning an investment home here that is empty most of the time?

2. GeorgeV via Andrew Tonry: TOLOVANA ARTS COLONY’S 2ND ANNUAL HOLIDAY GIFT
BAZAAR DEC. 8-10.
Why shop online or brave the big box stores when you could instead shower
your loved ones with one-of-a-kind, locally made gifts? Indeed, choosing
The Tolovana Arts Colony's second-annual Holiday Gift Bazaar is a no
brainer--a lively and meaningful antidote to cold, corporate consumerism.
The Bazaar kicks off with a party on Friday, December 8th, from 6PM at
Tolovana Hall (3779 S. Hemlock
<https://maps.google.com/?q=3779+S.+Hemlock&entry=gmail&source=g> in Cannon
Beach). Friday's festive celebration features food, wintery drinks, music
and more. Indeed, there's no better way to shop than with a full belly and
in good company. The bazaar continues through the weekend, open from
11AM-3PM on Saturday, December 9th and Sunday, December 10th. But remember:
some of these are one-of-a-kind items and many will be scooped up quick. On
display--and available for purchase--will be a stunning array of works from
local artists and crafters including everything from jewelry, paintings,
kitchenware, baskets, sculpture, clothing and even homemade cleaning
products. Indeed, there'll be something for everyone. Surprises abound!
Besides offering some of the coolest, locally-made art and crafts around,
gift-buying at the bazaar offers critical support to local artists and
crafters. Your purchases are a big deal--especially at this time of year.
For more information, visit tolovanaartscolony.org, email
tolovanaartscolony at gmail.com or call 541-215-4445 <(541)%20215-4445>.
Tolovana Hall is located at 3779 S. Hemlock
<https://maps.google.com/?q=3779+S.+Hemlock&entry=gmail&source=g> in Cannon
Beach.

12. JohnB: There is growing interest in the community especially in
non-profits to see the old school gymnasium made available for events.
GeorgeV: The obstacle for this is purely economics. The property is zoned
Institutional - school, park, community center, etc. It is owned by the
School Board and is for sale. The cost for acquiring the property would
just be the beginning. BruceStD: Community Centers do not pay for
themselves so the City would have the ongoing cost of maintenance and
utilities. GeorgeV: Only the gym building could potentially be saved and
not without considerable cost. Any excavation or razing of buildings
would require an archeologist on site because of possible artifacts. The
City recently purchase the Southwind property in response to the need for
tsunami safe evacuation and placement of essential services. Infrastructure
for that property will cost in the neighborhood of $4M. This is money that
the City does not have at this time.

"Peace is the reining word in Cannon Beach, which is what originally drew
me to this 3-mile long oasis eighty miles from buzzing Portland. I have
always loved the ocean, but what made me fall in love with Cannon Beach was
the crisp fall air. Autumn is arguably the most beautiful time to visit,
when the weather is still warm and welcoming, every flower box in town is
exploding with color, and mornings are warmed by a glistening sun. The
Pacific Northwest can be unpredictable, with frequent rainy days sprinkling
the week unexpectedly, but the short showers don’t seem to disrupt daily
life here." https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/discover-cannon-
