Esther Moberg, Robert Duehmig, and Patrick Wingard. Absent: Tessa James Scheller. Others
present: Donna Larson, Tom Gill, Carolyn Cazee, David Oser, Margaret Frimoth,, Ann Gydé,
Chris Ousley, Julie Hrubes, Sunny Klever, Meridith Peyton, Kent Duffy, Gary Danielson,
Edward Stratton, Interim President Gerald Hamilton, Deputy Clerk JoAnn Zahn, and Recording
Secretary Stephanie Dorcheus.
A. Adoption of Agenda

The motion carried unanimously.
II. PUBLIC FORUM
A. Introduction of Guests
Chair Baker-Monaghan asked those present to introduce themselves.
B. Public Comment
Carolyn Cazee, nursing instructor, thanked the CCC Foundation for their support. The
nursing department was able to buy a Chester Chest simulator with special Foundation funds.
The students have benefited greatly.
III. APPROVAL OF MINUTES

Karen Burke moved to approve the minutes for the January 12, 2016 Board Work Session

January 12, 2016 Regular Board Meeting. Anne Teaford-Cantor seconded. The motion
carried unanimously.
IV. NEW BUSINESS
A. State Capital Funding
DRAFT 2-9-2016 Minutes
Interim President Gerald Hamilton discussed the abbreviated master planning that has been
done in the last month for the college to be able to submit for capital construction funds.
Vice President JoAnn Zahn introduced Kent Duffy and Gary Danielson from SRG. They
presented a few options for the MERTS campus and the main campus. The committee
recommended that the MERTS campus should be the focus of this request since the
campus has not has any upgrades in the last twenty years and the various programs housed
there have substantially grown. There is current work in legislature to have MERTS
designated as a Maritime Center of Excellence which would also substantially increase the
amount of students along with the need for expanded programs. The MERTS campus
project would add second floor to the maritime science building, doubling the classroom
and office space to 26,000 sq. feet for programs. The proposal also includes buying the
leased land that MERTS sits on, increased parking, and road improvements. The other
proposed projects included expansion of the library, a two-story parking structure at the
east end of the library, and a second story added to the services building, which currently
houses Veterans Services and the volunteer literacy program.
Patrick Wingard would like it to be noted that he has concerns that public money would be
used to build in a tsunami inundation zone. He also supports the project, stating that a
marine center should be close to the river and there are ways that the risks can be mitigated.
Robert Duehmig asked what the time frame is for the request. Mr. Hamilton informed the
board that the due diligence report is due in mid to late March. He explained that the
requests from the 17 community colleges would be blind ranked by a committee and then
submitted to legislation for funding. These bonds would require a match for the project.
Robert Duehmig moved to support the MERTS campus as the primary project for the
capital construction request. Patrick Wingard seconded. The motion carried
unanimously.
V. REPORTS/DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Report of the Board Chair
Presidential Search Update: Chair Rosemary Baker-Monaghan reported there were originally

B. Report of the Deputy Clerk
Vice President JoAnn Zahn provided a summary of the Statements and Revenues and
Expenditures FY16 and FY15 by fund source. The Financial Summary also included

of January 31, 2015 and to the FY 2015-2016 Budget. Tuition and fees revenue recorded
through January FY 2015-16 is $2.051 million or 67.66% of the adopted budget. Tuition and

and David Oser, have recommitted to serving on the committee. There will be one vacancy to

C. President’s Cabinet Updates
Instruction Report
Vice President Donna Larson passed around Professional Mariner, a national journal for
mariners. It features pictures of the Forerunner and MERTS students as a part of an article on
mariner education in community colleges.
Margaret Frimoth reported on the all-day WINGS conference that just took place. There
were sixty-six participants this year. Senator Betsy Johnson spoke to a very crowded room.
Thirty six of the participants were Latina and eleven of those had participated in the half day
Latina WINGS conference last year. Thirty-eight of the women participated in everything
and received a voucher from AAUW to take a course at the college.

Enrollment Update
The Dean of Transfer Education and Institutional Researcher, Tom Gill, presented the Fall
End of Term FTE report. Total reimbursable enrollment was down by 7.9% while the total
reimbursable was down by 8.6%. The positive news, winter enrollment numbers are up by

D. Report of the President
Mr. Hamilton highlighted a few sections from his written report; Marketing Director and
Foundation Director have both started, high schoolers are back in the automotive program,
and a new GED partnership with Astoria High School. Chair Baker-Monaghan asked which
four on-line science courses are being added. Larson said that she is working on adding a
geology course and three chemistry courses. Anne Teaford- Cantor asked about the $800,000
Safety and Security request on the list. Mr. Hamilton explained that the community colleges
were asked to put together safety and security requests for legislature. At this time, it does
not look like it will pass. It does look like the legislation connected to the Oregon Promise
may pass and there will be funding for an advising position.

packet. She asked if everyone had their interview schedules on their calendar.

Gallery and thought it was wonderful. She also wanted to make a statement about
community colleges in general. Community college student nurses in California attended

very proud to be associated with a community college that has a nursing program because
it makes such a difference.

FY 2014-15 Financial Summary – June 30, 2015
FY 2015-16 March Financial Summary
Attached is the Statement of Revenues and Expenditures for FY16 and FY15 by fund source.
March represents nine months (75%) of the fiscal year. The FY15 audit field work was performed the
week of July 27th and the audit team visit took place the week of October 26th. The Auditors presented
the FY15 financial statements at the January 2016 Board meeting. Audit compliance filings, required by
March 31, 2016, have been submitted.
The 2014-15 annual financial statement audit document is available at the following link:
https://www.clatsopcc.edu/about-ccc/financial-and-budget-reports/audit
2014-15 Timber Revenue
The final FY2014-15 timber revenue payment exceeded $414,000 which provided the opportunity to
place $262,000, representing the Miles Crossing property sale from FY2011-12, in the Plant Fund. As
you may recall, the general fund ending fund balance was very low and the property sale proceeds
helped increase the fund balance with the understanding once the fund balance stabilized the one-time
proceeds would be moved to the Plant Fund. This also addresses the need for a reserve as the general
fund balance does not meet the 15 percent strategic goal.
General Operating Fund
(a) Tuition and fee revenue recorded through March FY16 are $2.907 million, or 95.9 percent of the
adopted budget. Tuition and fee revenue is down 2.98 percent compared to March FY2014-15. The
tuition and fee budget is $3.031 million. The budget was developed estimating a 6 percent decline in
SFTE enrollment.
Expenditures by Function (spreadsheet, bottom of page) provides more General Fund detail with a
budget and actual by-function expenditures for instruction, etc.
(b) State Appropriations recorded through March FY16 is $1.711 million representing three quarterly
payments. State Appropriations in the FY16 adopted budget is $1.980 million based on a $535 million
funding formula allocation. The allocation based on $550 million will likely be higher than the adopted
budget. The final audited Student Full-Time Equivalent (SFTE) was 1,249.01 with $2.2 million
anticipated in State Support for FY16. The total funding formula allocation percentage has increased
from .74% to .81%, a small but welcome increase.
(c) The property taxes recorded through March FY16 is $3.921 million. The actual 2014-15 property
taxes received are $4.034 million, or 98.16 percent of the $4.1 million adopted budget.
(c1) FY16 other revenue recorded through March is $248 thousand.
(c2) The 2015-16 adopted budget beginning fund balance is $500 thousand. The actual FY15 general
fund ending balance is estimated to be $714 thousand with an additional $262 thousand from the Miles
Crossing property sale proceeds in the Plant Fund.
-1-

the Patriot Hall Redevelopment Project.

300 psychologists, psychiatrists, and counselors attended the presentation and it was
well received. She presented a different version of this talk to the Ales and Ideas series
at Fort George in the fall.
 In December (over Christmas Break) Julie Brown completed a two-week seminar on
Maritime Culture on board the Lady Washington, during which I studied maritime
history, culture, music, art, and practical matters. This seminar at sea also included the
opportunity to work all jobs on a tall ship (navigation, rigging, cooking, maintenance,
watch, etc.). This learning experience will greatly enhance her teaching of HUM 102
Maritime Culture next spring.

shanties. The class visited the Maritime Museum for a tour. The highlight of the class
was a 3 hour sail on the Lady Washington, during which all students got hands on
experience at all jobs done on a tall ship.
Personnel Changes
 We are pleased to announce that Randy Weese has been selected as our Science Storeroom
and Hazardous Chemicals Coordinator (.75FTE). His first day in his new role was March 28,
2016. Since December 2015, Randy has been working as a teacher at Tongue Point Job
Corps. Previously, he has worked in several part time positions at Clatsop Community
College over 9 years including Chemistry Instructor, Science Storeroom Coordinator, STEM
Mentor with the Plus Program as well as with Upward Bound during their summer sessions.
Randy holds a Bachelors and a Master’s degree in Chemistry from California State
University. Please welcome Randy to his new role at CCC.
 The vacant 0.77 FTE nursing position will be re-posted soon as the position is being
reassigned primarily to the Astoria campus with occasional travel to Tillamook. We are
hopeful this change will be more attractive to potential candidates. We will continue to utilize
the TRMC Nurse Educator to fill the role as lab/clinical instructor for the Tillamook cohort
with assistance and help from the new recruit (0.77 FTE position). Lab, clinical and
simulation time will increase with the OCNE curriculum.
FTE and Enrollment Management
 College Now and Dual Credit/Coastal Commitment brought in 35.02 FTE including FTE
from: the U.S. Coast Guard in Maritime Science; Tongue Point Job Corps Center in
Electrical Apprentice; Warrenton High School in Spanish and Writing; Astoria High School
in History and Writing; and Seaside High School in Math.
 The MA Tillamook cohort will be expanded from 8 students to 15 students beginning fall
term. There was sufficient student interest spring term to offer a Nursing Assistant course.
Students interested in employment have been referred to Clatsop Care Center. It is my
understanding 3 of the students will be employed by the Care Center upon successful
completion of the program. Marketing efforts for the CNA II course reveals enough interest to
proceed with offering the course summer term.

Board Meeting
April 14, 2015
Submitted by: Dr. Donna Larson and Allison Sansom
Title: Approval of the Drug and Alcohol Counseling Associate of Applied Science (AAS)
Degree
Background
A Drug and Alcohol Counseling Associate of Applied Science degree was identified as a
community need by our Drug and Alcohol Advisory Committee. The Oregon Labor Market
Information System identified the need for substance abuse and behavioral disorder counselors,
social and human service assistants, and mental health associates as somewhat larger than the
statewide average. The Drug and Alcohol Counseling Advisory Committee identified a large
need for this program, both as a foundation program and also as a way for incumbent workers to
obtain knowledge and skills in various areas. In addition, Clatsop County is a designated Health
Professionals Shortage Area by the US Health Research and Services Administration which
indicates there are not enough health professionals in the area to meet the needs of the county.
Rationale
The Drug and Alcohol Counseling AAS Degree program prepares individuals for work in
substance abuse, behavioral health, and social service settings. This program offers students
foundational courses and practical hands-on experiences in the industry. Students gain the
necessary knowledge, skills and work habits to successfully document, management, and
interview clients in need. The coursework also allows students to gain knowledge regarding
pharmacology of psychoactive drugs, interviewing and counseling basics, professional ethics,
multicultural counseling, multiple diagnosis, motivational interviewing, and counseling special
populations. In addition, students will have three cooperative work experience courses where
they work at an organization and apply their classroom learning. Graduates will be able to seek
careers regionally, statewide, and nationally in substance abuse and behavioral health facilities.
Program Learning Outcomes connect to the curriculum and are designed to assist the student in
realizing their full training potential. Outcomes include:






Demonstrate the values and ethics that are intrinsic to the social service professions
Demonstrate professional interviewing skills
Demonstrate writing skills appropriate to clinical documentation
Identify resources for clients within agencies and within communities
Describe the role of culture and diversity in social service and counseling
Describe the role of neurochemistry in the addiction process
The Associate of Applied Science Drug and Alcohol program will continue to align itself with
the Addiction Counselor Certification Board of Oregon’s outcomes.
Due to the need for substance abuse and behavioral health professionals in our region and around
the state, the Drug and Alcohol Advisory Committee has given unanimous support for an AAS
degree in Drug and Alcohol Counseling (requiring 91 credit hours of study).
Budgetary Impact
The program will be staffed by part-time faculty. Many individuals on the Drug and Alcohol
Advisory Committee and in community facilities have expressed interest in teaching classes in
this program. This program will utilize minimal instructional and office supplies.
Recommended Action
The Office of Instruction recommends that the Board of Directors at Clatsop Community
College approve the Drug and Alcohol AAS Degree Program effective fall term, 2016.

April 5: Clatsop County High
Schools Career & Job Fair
Published on March 4, 2016 10:44AM
As the director of CEDR and Clatsop Community College Small Business Development Center, we work with
hundreds of businesses in Clatsop County. Finding and retaining good employees is a constant issue all
businesses face, from small businesses all the way up to our largest employers in the county and region. In April
of last year, CEDR partnered with the local WorkSource Northwest Oregon office and many community
volunteers to organize a Clatsop County High School Career and Job Fair. The event was very successful, with
63 companies participating, and over 500 students in attendance.
This year, the event will be held on Tuesday, April 5, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Clatsop County fairgrounds.
Planning meetings have started earlier, and representatives of Astoria, Jewell, Knappa, Seaside and Warrenton
High Schools and many volunteers from the business community have been meeting to build on the success of
last year’s event with even more local companies and employers participating, and other additions that will
benefit our students.
The schools will be sending all sophomores and juniors, with seniors also having the opportunity to participate.
We estimate over 750 students will be in attendance!
Three focus areas for employers:
1. Hiring now for immediate positions or for summer jobs.
2. Looking for committed and skilled employees to fill career technical, “trades,” vocational, apprenticeship
positions in our workforce. Job shadowing is also an option.
3. Sharing career options in Clatsop County for our collegebound students, both at Clatsop Community College
and four year colleges/universities. Many students are not aware of the diverse positions available in many
industries in our own back yard, and we want our youth to come home after they graduate from college, or stay
here after they graduate from Clatsop Community College.
The theme of the career and job fair is 60 percent career and 40 percent jobs focus. We want to give our
The theme of the career and job fair is 60 percent career and 40 percent jobs focus. We want to give our
students an overview of the many industries and sectors that make up our local economy.
The target sectors are: 1) Tourism & Hospitality. 2) Business, Banking, Finance & Professional Services. 3)
Seafood Processing & Fishing. 4) Forest & Wood Products. 5) Health Care. 6) Retail. 7) Manufacturing. 8) Law
Enforcement. 9) Career Technical, Contracting & Trades. 10) Education & Government. Public Sector.
This could be a once in a lifetime opportunity to guide our students through options available to them, both short
term and longterm, by our business and educational leaders and owners.
Fundraising needed
CEDR is spearheading fundraising to feed the 750 students, chaperones, school representatives and volunteers
lunch, provide internet tools including an informational website for students, businesses and parents, and raffle
prizes for the kids.
We have raised $3,200, and need to raise an additional $3,800 to cover the expenses. Any contribution $100 or
more will be listed on the program and marketing materials, and contributions over $250 will be also be featured
on signing at the event.
All donation amounts are welcome, and needed. Checks can be made out to CEDR, with a memo note in the
check “career & job fair.” Invoices can also be sent. Contact us at 5033382402 or [email protected] for
more information.
To register as an employer to participate in the career & job fair, call Linda Wyss at WorkSource Northwest
Oregon office at 5033254821 ext. 234, or email Linda at [email protected]. This event is free.
Employers are asked to register as soon as possible as the entire list of employers participating will be provided
to the schools in advance, and space is limited.
For more information, go to the CEDR’s website at clatsoped.com, send an email to [email protected] or call

Criminal justice returns to class
Clatsop Community College's criminal justice program returned to class Monday.

Mary Jackson is teaching an introductory criminal justice course for Clatsop Community College’s
recently revived program.
After several years on hiatus, Clatsop Community College’s criminal justice program officially returned Monday
After several years on hiatus, Clatsop Community College’s criminal justice program officially returned Monday
with an introductory course — “Criminal Justice 111” — taught by Mary Jackson, a veteran of the corrections
profession.
Jackson said she started class with 15 students, nearly equal parts men and women and ages ranging from
teens to midlifers. There are several students interested in law enforcement, she said, several in corrections
and one in whitecollar investigations.
“If you look at the community that we’re in, and also Pacific County (Washington), there are quite a few agencies
that could benefit from having someone with a criminal justice background,” she said.
After transferring from a community college, Jackson earned a bachelor’s in criminal justice from Seattle
University, and eventually a master’s from Northern Arizona University. She said it was an introductory course at
Seattle University that helped steer her from law enforcement toward corrections, where she has spent most of
her career.
Jackson came to the North Coast in 2002 to be a juvenile probation officer with Clatsop County, leaving after six
years to be a stayathome mother. Outside work, she focused her volunteerism on youth delinquency
prevention programs such as North Coast Prevention Works. Three years ago, she took over as executive
director of the county’s Lunch Buddy Mentoring Program.
“I was really excited when I heard they opened the program back up,” she said. “I had always wanted to go
back to teaching.”
Bringing it back
The college cut criminal justice in 2012 amid a budget crunch, with administrators citing low enrollment and
completion rates. The program’s lone fulltime instructor was Joanie Dybach, who moved on to a similar
program at Santa Rosa Junior College in California.
Donna Larson, vice president of academics and student affairs at the college, said the college held meetings
with members of the criminal justice community across the county. Brad Johnston, chief of the Astoria Police
Department, has said his department used to pull directly from the program to help fill ranks.
“The community really wanted the program back,” Larson said. “They expressed that there was a huge need for
it.”
The college is starting with Jackson’s introductory course this term and another in summer term taught by
Deputy District Attorney David Goldthorpe, a candidate in the May 17 election to replace Circuit Court Judge
Philip Nelson.
Goldthorpe, who has a bachelor’s degree from Brigham Young University and a law degree from Willamette
University, has worked for nearly six years with the county and was previously a law clerk in Multnomah County
and a corrections officer in Idaho. He was an adjunct instructor for the previous iteration of the college’s criminal
justice program, and recently started as a teacher at the state Department of Public Safety Standards and
Training academy in Salem.
“I would say it’s used more commonly by law enforcement,” Goldthorpe said of the criminal justice program,
“I would say it’s used more commonly by law enforcement,” Goldthorpe said of the criminal justice program,
adding the program can provide professional development for existing officers and help new recruits get an
interview.
Restart in fall
The full, sixterm criminal justice degree program will restart in fall and include classes to help prepare students
for entrylevel positions in law enforcement, corrections, parole, probation and other criminal justicerelated
fields.
The college is also creating a Criminal Justice Regional Advisory Committee to help plan the curriculum, find
teachers and review the program.
Kristin Wilkin, the college’s dean of workforce education, is handling the formation of the program, which will be
similar to the previous iteration but stick to using parttime, adjunct instructors.

The Clatsop Community College Board voted Thursday to bring Christopher Breitmeyer and Glenn Smith,
the two finalists for president, back to campus later this month for more meetings with staff, faculty, students
and the community.
Breitmeyer, 49, has been the vice president for academic and student affairs at St. Charles Community College
northwest of St. Louis since 2012, and the college’s dean of math, science and health since 2008.
For the past 25 years, Smith, 57, has held various administrative positions at Concordia University, a private
Christian university in northeast Portland. He is the university’s executive vice provost for student services and
enrollment management.
Breitmeyer and Smith visited campus last month, along with Ron Liss from Ohio’s Cuyahoga Community
College and Christopher Dyer from the University of New MexicoGallup campus, before being named the two
finalists to replace Lawrence Galizio, who was president of the college for five years before leaving in July for
his new position as CEO of the Community College League of California.
Editorial: Workforce housing may
cause Astoria discomfort
If Astoria truly wants workforce housing, it will have to make some deals.
Published on April 7, 2016 9:14AM
Last changed on April 7, 2016 5:07PM
With few building sites, leaders must become pragmatic
If Astoria wants more workforce housing, the City Council and the public must become more realistic. Two
recent situations illustrate why this will be a challenge.
One was the developer Dick Krueger’s proposal to develop housing on the Central School block, a site bounded
by Irving and Jerome, Ninth and Tenth. The second was a Portland developer’s proposal to buy the Clatsop
Community College Performing Arts Center and the Josie Peper building for the purpose of building housing.
Krueger retreated when residents surrounding Central School raised concerns about his concept of attached
housing. Residents preferred detached homes.
If anything unites these two incidents, it is that a constituency viewed that a developer’s interest would put
something they value in jeopardy. For the neighbors of the Central School site, the lot itself is precious in more
than one way. With the college’s property, a group wants to see the PAC preserved in perpetuity.
Working with neighbors is part of what a developer must do these days. So it may be that another developer
would have the tenacity to negotiate a solution on the Central School site.
The Performing Arts Center is a stickier wicket, because the building is a financial dark hole. The root of the
PAC’s impairment is that the college for decades charged virtually no rent for its use. The college board allowed
performing groups to live in an unreal world, in which there was no revenue stream to maintain the building and
build reserves for the inevitable capital investment.
The first symptom of the building’s mortality happened under CCC President John Wubben, when the building’s
steeple was removed, because it was rotten. The PAC today has $1 million in deferred maintenance, according
to the college’s chief financial officer.
The real question is whether the PAC and the adjoining Josie Peper building could be demolished and replaced
The real question is whether the PAC and the adjoining Josie Peper building could be demolished and replaced
with workforce housing. To the PAC’s supporters, Partners for the PAC, that would be an earthquake.
The larger reality is that Astoria doesn’t have many sites to build affordable, workforce housing. So if the city
truly wants more, leaders such as the City Council and CCC Board of Directors cannot afford to dismiss
considerations that some Astorians might find alarming on the surface. They must ask, “How can we make
something happen here?”
Arts center offer booed off stage
A developer's offer on the Performing Arts Center and Josie Peper building was rejected Tuesday.

EDWARD STRATTON/THE DAILY ASTORIAN
The Clatsop Community College Board has rejected an offer for the Performing Arts Center and Josie
Peper Building.
The Clatsop Community College Board rejected an offer on the Performing Arts Center and Josie Peper
Building Tuesday after impassioned public comments from people who use the center for plays, concerts and
films.
The college had been approached by a developer earlier this month tendering an unsolicited offer on the
buildings at 16th and Franklin streets for an asyet undisclosed amount. Karen Radditz, the Realtor
representing the college on the offer, said the developer intended to develop affordable, student and shortterm
housing for Columbia Memorial Hospital on the city block, while keeping the Performing Arts Center a
housing for Columbia Memorial Hospital on the city block, while keeping the Performing Arts Center a
“community center.”
The identity of the developer was unknown until after the meeting, when Radditz revealed it was WTJ
Development, a limited liability corporation registered in October to attorney Donald Grim in Portland, according
to state records.
When asked during the meeting what the developer meant by “community center,” Radditz said the developer’s
response to her inquiry was “‘we’ll share it as it comes.’”
“My understanding — and I have not seen the paperwork — is that the Lum’s property that’s just … adjacent to
the Performing Arts Center, is also under contract, and the due diligence period has begun on that, as well as
the house to the east of that,” Radditz said. “All of that property is under contract at this point.”
The Performing Arts Center and Josie Peper Building owned by the college are on the same city block as the
former Lum’s Auto Center, which currently houses the Clatsop County Sheriff’s Office Parole & Probation
Department. The Gordon David Lum Trust also owns a house on the eastern edge of the block. Ann
Samuelson, a Realtor representing the Lum family, declined to comment on any pending offer.
Lack of information
Community members and some on the college’s board expressed a lack of understanding about the
developer’s intent, and how the Performing Arts Center fit into an affordable housing development.
Radditz and Skip Hauke, director of the AstoriaWarrenton Chamber of Commerce, were the only outspoken
proponents of the offer, citing Astoria’s continuing housing crisis. Public comment was largely dominated by
people who use the Performing Arts Center, which is maintained by a myriad of about 10 groups organized
under Partners for the PAC, attesting to the venue’s importance as an affordable practice and performance
space.
“Why would the developer want the PAC?” asked Charlene Larson, cochairwoman of the Partners.
She said the group had been denied a meeting with the developer to inquire about their intent for the building.
Josie Peper, the namesake of the building next to the center, said the college should be wary of promises to
preserve the building, and that the developer should show more than an intent to build affordable housing.
The center went up in the 1930s as the Trinity Lutheran Church. It was purchased by the college in the early
1970s and used for nownonexistent performing arts programs. The college has not held any classes in the
center for several years, but the building is a popular venue for theatrical performances and concerts.
JoAnn Zahn, the college’s vice president of finance and operations, said the building faces more than $1 million
in deferred maintenance. Greg Dorcheus, the college’s physical plant manager, said the fire marshal has kept
the building open but recommended some major renovations, notably to remedy the lack of a fire suppression
system on the main floor and upstairs.
“I continue to not understand how the PAC and Josie Peper fit into a larger affordable housing project,” said
“I continue to not understand how the PAC and Josie Peper fit into a larger affordable housing project,” said
board member Patrick Wingard, questioning how a building needing more than $1 million in deferred
maintenance could help with affordable housing.
Radditz said the buyer did not know about the deferred maintenance, having not performed any inspections
before a fivemonth due diligence period that would have kicked in after the acceptance of the offer.
Last September, the Astoria City Council rejected a request by the college for a zoning change that would have
allowed an interested buyer to covert the Josie Peper Building into a second home and vacation rental. The
change — from highdensity residential to general commercial — would have also covered the Performing Arts
Center.
Neighbors complained a vacation rental would have been detrimental to the historic ShivelyMcClure
neighborhood.
The City Council found that second homes and vacation rentals make it more difficult for the city to attract
affordable housing.
College administrator sees future on
Oregon Coast

Even if he doesn’t get the job, Christopher Breitmeyer said, he is going to find some way to be on the
Oregon Coast.
Breitmeyer, one of four candidates for Clatsop Community College’s presidency, traveled to Astoria Thursday
from St. Louis, Missouri.“I want my job in Oregon or Washington, and at a smaller school in a smaller town,”
Breitmeyer said.
After being offered a job by Greg Hamann, president of LinnBenton Community College and former head of
Clatsop, Breitmeyer said he traveled to Albany for the interview and came north on U.S. Highway 101 and
became enamored with the region.
northwest of St. Louis since 2012, and the college’s dean of math, science and health since 2008. He said his
goal was to be a college president by 50.
While both his parents attended community college, Breitmeyer said his first introduction was after graduate
school at Arizona State University, where he earned a master’s in zoology. He became a science teacher at
Yavapai College, where he spent the next decade. Breitmeyer earned a bachelor’s in biology education from
Illinois State University and is enrolled in the Educational Leadership Doctoral Program at the University of
Nebraska.
His first priority if hired, Breitmeyer said, would be enrollment. He said St. Charles is in the same situation as
Clatsop, which has been facing declining enrollment amid a resurgent economy, but has found new strategies to
minimize the losses.
“We’re targeting our rural areas a bit more than we ever have,” he said, adding advisers go to rural high schools
in St. Charles’ fivecounty district and help get students ready to attend college.
Over the past several years, he said, St. Charles has created about 30 articulation agreements, while creating
opportunities for students at the college to complete fouryear degrees on campus, similar to Clatsop’s business
program linked with Eastern Oregon University.
Online programs, he said, are the only area of growth community colleges are seeing. Breitmeyer touted his
Online programs, he said, are the only area of growth community colleges are seeing. Breitmeyer touted his

Breitmeyer has a 16yearold daughter he said is convinced she will attend college in Oregon. His wife, Alane, is
an instructional designer at St. Charles, helping train teachers to teach online.
Breitmeyer’s visit was preceded by Glenn Smith, the executive vice provost for student services and enrollment
management at Concordia University in Portland, and Ron Liss, a former campus president at Cuyahoga

Clatsop Community College has received an offer on the Performing Arts Center, left, and Josie Peper
Building.
Clatsop Community College has received an offer from outoftown investors to buy both the Performing Arts
Center and adjacent Josie Peper Building as part of an affordable housing development.
Gerald Hamilton, the interim president of the college, said the college board has not made any decisions on the
property. The offer was unsolicited, and the performing arts building has not been surplused, a required move
before a sale.
Karen Radditz, the real estate agent representing the college on the offer, described the buyers as outoftown
Karen Radditz, the real estate agent representing the college on the offer, described the buyers as outoftown
investors but declined to name them. She said the buyers intend to create affordable housing, including
apartments and shortterm living areas for people staying at Columbia Memorial Hospital, while keeping the
performing arts building as a community center.
The arts center and Josie Pepper Building are located at the corner of 16th Street and Franklin Avenue. County
maps show the college owns about a third of the block, including the buildings and surrounding parking lot,
while a little less than half the block is the former Lum’s Auto Center, owned by the Gordon David Lum Trust.
The block has a few other houses on the southeastern corner.
The college met Thursday with cochairwomen Charlene Larsen and Constance Waisanen from Partners for the
PAC, a coalition of artsoriented user groups formed in 2012 that pays the college about $2,000 a month for the
operation of the center.
Larsen said the coalition hopes to meet with the developers and learn more about their vision for the site and
what exactly “community center” means.
“Change will occur, and it’s really important that the college and the partners and everyone involved be open
and transparent through this whole process,” she said. “That’s the impression I got from the meeting” Thursday.
The college, which purchased the former Peace Lutheran Church in the 1970s, has not held classes at the arts
center in several years and estimates a massive amount of deferred maintenance is needed on the building.
The adjacent Josie Peper Building was already surplused. The college attempted to sell it for a second home
and vacation rental, but had a rezoning request blocked by the Astoria City Council after residents complained it
would change the character of the historic ShivelyMcClure district.
The college will hold a special meeting at 6:30 p.m. March 29 in Columbia Hall Room 219 on the main campus
to further discuss the offer.

Hrubes said the two candidates will then visit Astoria again before the board selects the president. She said the
college hopes to have a new president by July 1, the beginning of the new fiscal year.
The other finalists were Christopher Dyer, the president and CEO of the University of New MexicoGallup, and
Ron Liss, a former president of Cuyahoga Community College in Ohio.
The new president will replace Lawrence Galizio, who resigned last year for a post as president and CEO of the
Community College League of California. Galizio had served as college president since 2010.
State lawmakers deny funding for
community college security
Money for Umpqua Community College was approved
Associated Press
PORTLAND — State lawmakers rejected a $17.6 million request to increase security at community colleges
in Oregon months after a gunman killed nine people and himself at one of the schools in the state’s worst mass
shooting.
The proposal would have replaced doors, added security cameras and beefed up aging buildings and
communications systems at most of the state’s community colleges, The Oregonian reported.
Lawmakers approved $6 million for improvements at Umpqua Community College’s Snyder Hall, where the
shooting took place in October. The money also will fund overall safety and security measures at the school.
But lawmakers told Oregon’s other 16 community colleges to try again next year.
Brent Finkbeiner, president of the Clackamas Community College student government, said the rejection stung.
“Waiting until next year doesn’t do us any good,” said Finkbeiner, who is also the board chairman of the Oregon
Community College Student Association.
Clackamas Community College was hoping for more than $1.6 million for several projects, including installing
electronic locks across campus.
Clatsop Community College held a safety meeting after the Umpqua shooting in which staff talked about their
efforts to institute the Standard Response Protocol, a standard set of vocabulary and actions for responding to
any situation.
Not everyone is disappointed by the delay in funding.
The 2017 discussion should be “more robust,” said Andrea Henderson, executive director of the Oregon
Community College Association. The conversation about campus security is “far from over,” she said.
“It’s still not that far away from October 1,” she said, referring to last year’s shooting, “and we’re still learning
“It’s still not that far away from October 1,” she said, referring to last year’s shooting, “and we’re still learning
from that incident.”

Christopher Dyer, the president and CEO of the University of New MexicoGallup campus for three years and
one of four presidential hopefuls for Clatsop Community College, visited Astoria Friday to talk about why he
wants to take the lead.
“We really need stronger community connections for this place to thrive,” Dyer said of the college, touting such
connections he’s made in New Mexico, including an early childhood center, veterans center, a workforce
development division and an emergency medical services academy.
The Gallup campus is a twoyear institution serving about 2,300 students and focusing on transfer degrees and
certificates, similar to a community college. Dyer has been there for three years as CEO and an anthropology
professor.
Dyer said he has 12 to 14 more years left of working, and wants to do it in one place. He has five grown children
and said his wife, Cynthia, recently retired and wants to be close to a son and granddaughter in Portland.
Before New Mexico, Dyer served as dean of academic affairs and an anthropology professor at West Plains,
one of Missouri State University’s three campuses, since 2010.
He was the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Our Lady of the Lake University, an independent
Catholic university in San Antonio, Texas, for most of 2009. He held a similar position from 2004 to 2009 at the
University of Mount Olive, a private Christian college associated with the Free Will Baptist Church in North
Carolina.
Dyer speaks fluent Spanish and has worked in 21 countries. He spent a year as the dean of strategic initiatives
at The School for Field Studies, an environmental study abroad program; nearly two years as a professor and
director of the Center for Public Policy at Rhode Island College, a staterun liberal arts college; and more than
two years as a senior evaluation specialist with Aguirre International, a social issues research company serving
governments and nonprofits.
“I’ve got a lot of programs in mind,” Dyer said, pointing toward more workforce development programs such as
marine welding, hospitality, culinary arts, forest products and renewable energy.
Dyer said the college should invest in the Marine and Environmental Research and Training Station campus and
form publicprivate partnerships to help add programs and staff.
The other finalists for college president are Glenn Smith, an administrator from Concordia University in Portland;

In a room crowded with business owners, elected officials and local leaders, the winners of the Clatsop
County Outstanding Businesses awards took the stage to accept their plaques Wednesday.
The fourth annual ceremony honored businesses in 10 categories ranging from customer service to
entrepreneurship and economic impact. Each winner was nominated by a letter sent to Clatsop Economic
Development Resources.
Business awards
Kevin Leahy, executive director of CEDR and the Small Business Development Center, announced the winners.
Kathy Kleczek, owner of La Luna Loca accepted the award for small business entrepreneurship.
“This award is also a representation of the people behind our success, the people that work with me and the
people that spend their hardearned dollars in our store for things that may not be the cheapest, but are made
the best way possible,” Kleczek said. Owners of ice cream and French fry shop Frite & Scoop, Kevin and Lisa
Malcom, were given the award for outstanding customer service for a small business. The business won a
similar award recently in the Coast Weekend Readers’ Choice Awards.
Lisa took over the acceptance speech after Kevin got choked up, thanking their staff and the community for
supporting the business.
Kelly Truax, owner of Bruce’s Candy Kitchen, took the award for business service to the community for a small
business. The more than 50yearold Cannon Beach and Seaside staple was granted the award for its efforts in
the community, including donating candy for events, such as Easter egg hunts.
“We just give because we can, and it’s a blessing that we’re able to do that,” Truax said.
Accepting the award for technological and manufacturing advancement were the owners of Airport Crabpot Co.,
Vern and Lisa Lamping. Their company previously got about 50 orders a year, Leahy said, but got an order for
800 units from Costco last year, thanks to a patented design. The owners then developed a new method for
protecting the pots to meet the increased demand.
The award for entrepreneurship in a medium business went to Micha and Jennifer CameronLattek, owners of
Street 14 Cafe in downtown Astoria. The cafe has expanded and now has dinner offerings.
“We did start with just … a handful of employees and now we have three or four handfuls of employees, and it’s
been really an exciting journey for us,” Jennifer CameronLattek said.
Outstanding customer service for a large business went to The Ocean Lodge in Cannon Beach. Wendy Higgins
accepted the award for the hotel, which has consistently been ranked as the top hotel in Cannon Beach, she
said.
Dale Brechlin, manager of the AstoriaWarrenton KOA accepted the business service to the community for a
large business on behalf of the campground. Brechlin emphasized the KOA site’s focus on the community, with
programs for youth groups and elderly patrons at the campground.
Entrepreneurship for a large business was given to the Hampton Lumber Mill, with Manager Cliff Tuttle
Entrepreneurship for a large business was given to the Hampton Lumber Mill, with Manager Cliff Tuttle
accepting the award. The mill, which can produce 200 million boardfeet annually, employs 149 fulltime
employees.
The night’s penultimate award went to P&L Johnson Mechanical for job creation. The company’s coowner Paul
Radu accepted the award, and emphasized the company’s commitment to educating its workers as part of its
success.
Lastly, economic impact went to Bornstein Seafoods. The seafood business has an estimated local impact of at
least $105 million, Leahy said. Andrew Bornstein, accepting the award, commented that the diversity of product
has allowed it to thrive.
CEDR leader honored
Skip Hauke, CEDR cofounder and past president, was honored for his contributions to CEDR and Clatsop
County.
State Sen. Betsy Johnson hailed Hauke’s vision in creating CEDR and his leadership of the AstoriaWarrenton
Chamber of Commerce, which has grown significantly under his leadership, she said.
Accepting the award, Hauke said about the award, “I think the best thing about it is it recognizes CEDR and
what CEDR has accomplished, and we have … become a model for the state … and our numbers prove that
we’re doing the right thing,” he said.
