Note from Karen in Public Works at City Hall: Please let everyone know that
our municipal code was changed making it a misdemeanor with a fine of up to
$500 for feeding wild animals (bunnies, seagulls, elk, deer, etc)? It was
in the paper, and I'm working on some printed material that we will provide
to all the retailers, the chamber, the property management folks to help us
get the word out. For the first year, the police will issue warnings only
and then citations will be issued. We'll put posters up in the kiosk areas
and the post office as well. Here's the Astorian article:

No one submitted notes from 04Sep2019 Wednesday Morning Meeting, but here
is the note I included in the reminder email
*Special Note from your's truly - George Vetter*. A little over a year ago,
Paula and I made a second home for ourselves in our Mt Bachelor Village
<http://mtbachelorvillage.com/> condo on the Deschutes River in Bend
<https://gvfa.smugmug.com/Places/Bend-OR/Winter2018-2019/>. Since then, we
have been spending most of our time in Bend and have now decided to sell
our 5-bedroom, 2.5-story, ocean-view, Cannon Beach home of 24 years. Our
kids grew up there and we have accumulated the remnants of El Mundo's 3
retail stores and the George Vetter FotoArt gallery there. Our Bend condo
came furnished. Almost all our furniture, beds, desks, cabinets, tools,
toys, equipment, fixtures, junk, etc will need to find new homes. We will
spend periodic weekends the next 5 months sorting through our belongings. What
we don't take will be offered in a BIG estate sale (by local
estate liquidators - Larry & Kay Marshall) in Feb or March before we
prepare the house for market. We are keeping our downtown Cannon
Beach retail complex - Village Centre
<https://gvfa.smugmug.com/Places/Village-Centre/InnAtVillageCentre/> - for
now. Village Centre's Inn at Village Centre
<http://www.cannon-beach.net/vcinn> will be available to us. Our love for
Cannon Beach and the special people we know there lives on. George

Wednesday, July 31st, 2019
Participants: 6
Attendees: GregS., MelodyC, ChrisO., JimK., ErikO, HannahO
Notes by Hannah Ostrander
- Jim K.: 578 Corgis were registered for the Corgi Weekend events
- Greg S.: Are day tour companies out of Portland contributing to
Chamber of Commerce or registering as businesses with the city? They are
bringing tourism in to our city and cutting down on vehicle traffic.
- Jim K.: 80% of emergency services calls in CB relate to tourists
- Overall tourism numbers seem to be down for July. Streets do not seem
as busy. Daytrippers are staying later in the day.
- Greg S.: Sea Turtles Forever are partnering up with LUSH cosmetics to
do a weeklong beach clean-up and have already removed hundreds of pounds of
microplastics from the beach.
- Hannah O.: Is anyone aware of a Cannon Beach noise ordinance for
daytime activities? There is the quiet hours ordinances…
- Erik O.: The monthly bird walk is this Sunday at 9:00am starting from
the Settling Ponds. We walk around the ponds and possibly along Elk
Creek. Everyone is welcome!
- Hannah O.: Low tides this Thursday and Friday!
- Hannah O.: Haystack Holiday ornament coming out soon and I will be
around in a few months to see if anyone would like to participate in Mimosa
Madness.
- GeorgeV via yesterday's reminder email:
- The regular monthly City Council meeting is Tuesday Aug 6th at 7pm
at City Hall. For info on City meetings, see
https://www.ci.cannon-beach.or.us/meetings?field_microsite_tid_1=27
- My 34 years with El Mundo and 10 with my photo gallery taught me
some things about survival and success in Cannon Beach. 1. An ounce of
energy in July and August produces as much as a pound in Dec - Feb. 2.
People like to buy from friendly people. 3. People will shop till 9pm in
Summer. 4. Shoplifters seize easy opportunities. They also feel invisible
if no one greets them. 5. Perceived value by the customer is
what you need
to be charging irregardless of what you paid. 6. Any day in Summer can be
the best day of the week, but Saturday's are the best bet. 6. Traffic
begins to fall off mid Aug as some schools begin. 7. Employees often take
the parking spaces that should be reserved for customers. 8. People flow
like water - seeking the easiest path with the least
obstructions. 9. Your
windows and doors are your best advertising. 10. Everybody loves praise.

4. GeorgeV: I have posted 180 photos from Saturday's 55th Annual Cannon
Beach Sandcastle Contest at
https://gvfa.smugmug.com/Events/Cannon-Beach-Sandcastle/Sandcastle-2019/.
It was a perfect day for sand sculpting - not too wet, dry, sunny or windy.
The sculpting began at 930am. At noon I counted 400 cars on the beach as
some were leaving and more were coming. Thirty sculptures, including 7
Masters had to be completed by 230pm for final judging. Cars had to be off
the the beach at 3pm. A limit of 500 cars at one time were allowed.
Sandcastle Chair, Debbie Nelson (Your Cannon Beach Florist), her committee
and team of volunteers, Chamber Staff, Title Sponsor Coaster Construction,
CB Fire and the CB Police/CERT/MRC/DART all performed to perfection. So
many people had a wonderful day at the beach - for free - to remember and
share with friends and family. Mark your calendar now for Sandcastle 2020 -
June 13th - and let Debbie and John Nelson know how much you appreciate all
they do to keep this tradition alive. PS If you missed getting a
Sandcastle tee shirt, sweatshirt, cap or poster with the art of beloved
artist Bill Steidel, get to the Chamber soon before they're gone. Call
503-436-2623 to reserve.

7. All: It's that time of year again when the need for workforce housing
becomes top-of-mind to Cannon Beach businesses and their customers. Some
businesses have to close a day or two a week because of the lack of help.
Could a joint effort between the businesses and the cities of Cannon Beach
and Seaside create workforce housing at the junction where vacationing
visitors wouldn't put so much pressure on prices?
8. GeorgeV: This Friday (June 14) is Flag Day. Bring out the Red, White &
Blue.
