Wendy: It appears that the Motel Tax bills are still in committee, but<br>> are still moving forward. George: According to a Feb 15th Daily Astorian<br>> article, two Senate bills being sponsored by Sen. Betsy Johnson,<br>> D-Scappoose, could change the uses for lodging tax dollars that fall under<br>> the current law's strict definitions. The bills would allow cities and > other<br>> collectors of lodging taxes to apply them to more general uses, if those<br>> uses can be tied to tourism. George and others expressed concern that if > not<br>> for the current state requirement, none of the lodging tax dollars would > be<br>> used for PR and that the proposed changes would result in no funds from > any<br>> future increases being used for PR. BobNer suggested we invite Betsy to a<br>> WMM. George e-mailed her but did not hear back so re-sent his message.<br>> 10. Wendy: Anyone interested in being part of a Cannon Beach Lodging<br>> Association should contact her at wendy@theoceachlodge.com.

George: The Seaside Signal reports that "A Seattle-based consulting > team<br>> is recommending the removal of the west bank berm between the Necanicum<br>> River and Highway 101 and constructing a 400-foot berm on the east side of<br>> the highway to ease the flooding along U.S. Highway 101. Consultants are<br>> also recommending crews construct berms at the RV Park and Beerman Creek > or<br>> raise a portion of the highway, along with constructing a berm north of<br>> Beerman Creek and a berm/floodwall on Dooley Bridge.
