Budget Time for the City of Manzanita

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: mkuestner10@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
If you didn’t have time to attend the April 30, 2024 meeting of the Manzanita Budget Committee, you missed out on some fascinating information. There’s a lot of exciting things going on in our city (Building a new City Hall and Police Station, affordable housing, city revenue diversification, Comprehensive Plan update, etc.)

The entire Budget Committee was there (that’s 11 people): City Council/Mayor, and the City Manager as our Budget Officer. There were both old and new appointed volunteer members, continuing or beginning their terms of office. As required, they elected a new Chair of the Budget Committee (congratulations to Jim Dopp), and then got down to business.

Each year the Budget Process unfolds (as per Oregon law), with the Budget Committee going over the proposed Manzanita City Budget for the upcoming year, presented by the City Manager. The initial meeting allows for new Committee members to continue their training by asking questions, making suggestions, etc. This year was no exception, and many of the Committee members’ questions helped those of us in the audience to better appreciate the complexities of municipal budgets, even for small towns.

Last year the Manzanita City Council adopted a budgetary methodology to guide Indirect Cost Allocation related to overhead in the budget. Refer to page 70+ of the proposed budget if you’re a budgetary hobbyist and want to delve deeper.

Thanks in large part to tactical actions by our city administration and City Council over the last few years, the city is in excellent financial shape. For example, Manzanita qualified for a $2.7million state grant for our water infrastructure upgrades recently due to this pre-planning.

The next step in examining the proposed budget will be a Budget Committee meeting scheduled for Tuesday, May 7 at 6pm. Public comments will be heard.

After this, there will be a special city council meeting on May 29, 6pm. where the proposed budget will be considered and adopted.

Just like Goldilocks who found the “just right” bed, it appears the weather will be just right at the Nehalem Bay Garden Club Plant sale this weekend. Two years ago it was wet, windy and cold. Last year it was blistering in 90 degree heat. The forecast for this weekend is sunny and 66 degree–just right!

So if you like sun and plants head over to the sale site on Saturday and Sunday at 43080 Northfork Rd, Nehalem at the junction of Hwy 53 and North Fork Rd with horse statues in the front yard and real horses in the back yard! Start on North Fork Rd at the blinking light in Nehalem and go 5 miles to the end of N Fork Road. The sale is on the left.

The sale starts at 10 on Saturday, May 11th and goes until 3pm. On Sunday, May 12th the sale is from 10 to noon.

Available at reasonable prices will be all kinds of plants: hanging baskets, planters with colorful flowers, perennials, annuals, vegetables, tomatoes, shrubs, trees, and houseplants among others.

Also on offering will be Mother’s Day gifts and a raffle. Raffle items include a basket of garden goodies, an outdoor palm tree and a garden statue. Tickets are $5 each or 6 for $20.

While you shop on Saturday only, bring your children so they can create wee succulent gardens as commitments to Planet Earth — and possibly Mothers’ Day gifts. All materials provided.

We encourage you to pay with cash or check and to round up! Nehalem Bay Garden Club donates proceeds from the sale to local organizations that share the Club’s mission. Past recipients include Food Roots, Hoffman Gardens, Alder Creek Farm, Tillamook Early Learning Center, Tillamook Chamber Comm Foundation, North County Food Bank, Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church for their food programs, Nehalem Elementary Garden Program, and the mural at Nehalem City Park. The Club has awarded a total of $12,300 in grants since 2020.

And while you are in the neighborhood, Aldervale Native Plants is having an open house on Saturday, May 11th from 9-4 across the road from the Garden Club sale. 43005 North Fork Rd.

 

Outstanding, Mail, Knife Sharpening Service

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: diannerbloom@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Knife Flight( knifeflight.com) is an outstanding mail in knife sharpening service. It is local in Hood River, exceptionally easy to use and the quality of the work, the best ever. I sent in my kitchen knives, my fishing knives and my boning knives along with some very old LL Bean knives. They all came back better than new, even the old LL Bean Knives. I have severe hand arthritis and it’s now a pleasure to cut, dice and chop now rather than a chore that was painful. I could not ask for more. Well worth a try.

Anybody have ?a heat pump water heater locally?

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: dwieb1@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
New DOE standards for water heaters will take standard household size electric water heaters off the market in 5 years. Manufacturers will likely stop making them earlier than that so they’re not stuck with product.

The DOE claims those of us who have designed electric water heaters into our interior space, like closets or kitchens, will not be unduly inconvenienced by converting to heat pump water heaters when our existing water heaters eventually fail. (They don’t seem concerned that folks will convert to gas, a more efficient way to heat water but non-renewable energy source!)

Beyond the prospect of having to remodel, rewire, and replumb my house to make that change, I am concerned about the noise generated by the heat pump. Does anyone in the Manzanita area have a self contained heat pump water heater (much more common and affordable than a split system), and could you comment on the noise level and the duration of the water heating cycle?

Thanks, Dave

Candle Wax & Various Glass Containers: Will You Take Mine?

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: dldoktor@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Greetings. I purchase and subsequently burn candles daily typically contained in glass from various local retailers like Fred Meyer, Fresh Foods, sometimes TJ Maxx, et al. At the candles’ terminus, my use for their remaining wax or glass containers is expended. They accumulate regularly! If you are a candle maker, know of someone who is, or perhaps would derive benefit or pleasure from these used waxy/glassy items, I can gladly deliver them on occasion if you dwell locally in the vicinity of Manzanita/Rockaway. Peace, David
