MEETING NOTES
Date: 22May2019 8:03am
Location: Pizza a Fetta
Number in attendance: 4
Present: JimK, MicheleDK, ChrisO, SusanP
Absent: Everybody else
Notes by Susan
New to WMM: Michele has set up her business in Tolovana offering yoga,
massage (Sea Spell Massage) and instruction as a life strategist. She has
been involved with the Chamber and offered a good piece of information on
how to list an experience based business offering on AirBNB website.
The Gallery Group is bringing a new event: Earth and Ocean Festival Sept
20-22 featuring all environmentally themed gallery openings and so much
more. Stayed tuned!
The Fat Bike event went well despite a decline in participants. Chris
thought the weather and another big bike event happening down the coast may
have had something to do with that. Scavenger Hunt brought the bikers into
stores and many were seen later at dinner in several locations. Plans for
making next year even greater are in the works.
Cannon Beach Makers will have a kick-off with vendors at the Community
Hall this Friday, May 24 all day. They will soon open permanently in the
old "The Butler Did It" location behind Osburn's.
Is the city council looking to change the city park ordinance of banning
tents in city parks? Will the change be made so the Farmer's Market can
move to that location?
Cannon Beach Birding Group We are still out there every first Sunday of
the month, looking for our feathered friends.
The group is walking the annual “Around the Town” bird trail on June 2
9:00-noon. Plan for a 3 hour walk on different terrains. We start at the
lagoons, follow Ecola Creek out to the estuary, up the beach to Haystack
Rock and the through the presidential street neighborhood back to the
lagoons. This allows us the opportunity to view many bird species.
Hope to see you on June 2 or any first Sunday of the month for the regular
stroll around the lagoons.

> 9. Notes from Last Week
>
> Word of the Day by Prof John Buehler - PAWKY - Shrewd, sly, cunning; often
> also characterised by a sarcastic sense of humor.
>
> 1. GeorgeV: The RV Park is owned by the City. Escape Lodging is contracted
> to manage it. In the recent routine audit, the RV Park shows an asset value
> of $3M. The City's fiscal year return was $209K. That is a 7% return.
> Should the City sell the RV Park Enterprise and use the proceeds for
> affordable housing, emergency preparedness, a new city hall, etc? I pulled
> my numbers from the recent audit report which accounted for more than just
> net operating income and expense. My point was for the City to look at this
> asset as a means to accomplish other goals. I do not doubt that Escape
> Lodging is doing an admirable job of management.
>
> 2. JimK: The Gallery Group has interviewed 6 people to take over PR after
> Bonnie Gilchrist's retirement. Alexis Jackson, from Portland, has been
> chosen for the job and a contract is in the works. www.cbgallerygroup.com
>
> 3. JimP: www.CannonBeach.ORg <http://www.cannonbeach.org/> goes live
> today with a brand new website with special emphasis on visitor
> user-friendliness. Local businesses are encouraged to log in to the member
> section and update their information. And to give feedback on their
> experience with the site. It is now time for fine-tuning.
>
> 4. JimK: The Cannon Beach Gallery Group is moving forward with plans for a
> new event - Earth 'n Ocean - the weekend of Sept 21, 2019. The event will
> coincide with SOLVE's Fall Beach Cleanup and will involve participation
> with local non-profits such as the North Coast Land Conservancy, the
> Wildlife Center of the Northwest, Friends of Haystack Rock. Cape Falcon
> Reserve, Sea Turtles Forever, etc. The Gallery Group has dropped the June
> Plein Air and More event. www.cbgallerygroup.com
>
> 5. Savor Cannon Beach continues to grow and attract. Plans are underway to
> include Restaurant Listings. If you want your restaurant included, contact
> Tracy Abel - CannonBeachGirl at gmail.com immediately. Savor Cannon Beach
> has added a month-long promotion for the month of March called Savor
> Dungeness Crab Month. Marketing materials will include a brochure listing
> all participating restaurants and the Oregon Dungeness Crab dishes they
> will offer. There is no fee required for restaurants to participate, only a
> commitment and a description of the Dungeness Crab items they will offer.
> Explorer Media Group has partnered with the Oregon Dungeness Crab
> Commission to create and promote this month-long celebration that coincides
> with Savor Cannon Beach, March 7-10.
>
> 6. GeorgeV: The large and growing number of people choosing to visit and
> vacation in Cannon Beach requires expenses of a town much larger than our
> 1700 citizens. Even with our 8% lodging tax, we still don’t have resources
> for Emergency Preparedness, Affordable Housing, a new City Hall, and other
> items. We need to find new sources of revenue. One possibility is a food
> and beverage tax. Another is paid parking. Both of these were part of
> Council Candidate Greg Swedenborg's platform. GregS: Another source would
> be an increase of short term rental licenses. Many of these houses are
> generating up to $100K a year and paying just $300/yr license fee. A $3000
> license fee could be applied.

> 7. RobinR: The City Council's January Work Session will take place tonight
