MUTUAL AID PACT APPROVED
The board approved Clatsop County entering a mutual-aid agreement with 11 other counties for disaster-related emergency assistance.
The omnibus intergovernmental agreement, originally developed in 2005 by several Willamette Valley counties, currently includes Benton, Clackamas, Columbia, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Tillamook, Washington and Yamhill counties.
The agreement provides a legal framework for county-to-county requests for aid during and after emergencies and puts in place the policies and procedures to provide for faster responses. The agreement does not obligate Clatsop County to provide aid, but does enable the county to seek reimbursement from the federal government for personnel time, equipment and other resources provided to other counties.
REDISTRICTING PLAN REVIEWED
The board held a public hearing on the proposed redistricting plan for the board of commissioner district boundaries. The board reviewed a proposed plan approved in May by the Redistricting Board, a citizen panel convened by the county to recommend new boundaries reflecting shifts in population revealed in the 2010 U.S. Census. The county’s five commissioner districts must contain roughly the same number of residents.
The public hearing will be continued to the board’s June 22 meeting
NEW DARIGOLD HAZARDS AGREEMENT APPROVED
Approved a contract with Rose City Contracting Inc. for hazardous materials abatement at the county-owned Darigold Building in downtown Astoria. In April the board approved a contract with the another bidder, but that agreement was cancelled when the vendor refused to perform the required work. Rose City Contracting had provided the second-lowest bid for the project at $105,900.
The Darigold Building is to be demolished to make way for a new office building for Coastal Family Health Center and local non-profit social service agencies. Hazardous materials such as asbestos must be removed prior to demolition.
