SPEAKER_05 (02:20):
The erstwhile mayor of the fair city of Lincoln City
is with me right now.
And Mayor Wacke, it's good tohave you back.
SPEAKER_08 (02:28):
Good to be here.
SPEAKER_05 (02:29):
Now...
The activities of the city areslowing down this time of year,
speeding up this time of year.
What are we doing?
SPEAKER_08 (02:38):
Oh, we're just busy all year.
We have ribbon cuttings.
We have all sorts of thingshappening.
SPEAKER_05 (02:46):
And speaking of ribbon cuttings, today as we're
recording this, you're going tobe doing a ribbon cutting this
afternoon.
SPEAKER_08 (02:53):
Yes, for a new beach access stairway up at the north
end of town.
near Schnuckman's Casino.
SPEAKER_05 (03:01):
Why is it important that you would have a ribbon
cutting for a stairwell?
SPEAKER_08 (03:05):
This is an interesting project in that it
is on tribal land.
And Parks and Rec asked tribalcouncil if they could contribute
to the rebuilding of thisstairway so that it was safe and
accessible.
And they agreed.
So it's another wonderfulcoordinated project with the
(03:28):
city.
And that
SPEAKER_05 (03:30):
in itself is critically important, isn't it
Susan?
SPEAKER_08 (03:33):
Definitely is.
So happy that we have such agood relationship.
SPEAKER_05 (03:38):
What do you do to enhance that, if you will, that
relationship with the tribe?
SPEAKER_08 (03:44):
The city council and the tribal council meet annually
and we talk over things thathave happened and will happen.
And if we have issues othertimes, we always have good lines
of communication open.
SPEAKER_05 (03:59):
It really is not a contentious activity, is it?
SPEAKER_08 (04:03):
Right, it's not.
We get along well.
SPEAKER_05 (04:06):
Okay, so we're going to go from ribbon cuttings and
what else does the mayor have atour plate that you're getting
people coming through the doorsaying, Susan, what about X?
Oh,
SPEAKER_08 (04:18):
there's always a variety of things, mostly by
email.
I try to respond to all emails.
There's just always lots ofthings happening.
SPEAKER_05 (04:27):
Now, responding by email, so if it's something
that's going to be on thecouncil agenda, can you respond
to that?
SPEAKER_08 (04:35):
Nope.
I ask them to please send it topubliccomment at
lincolncity.org.
That's where comments should bemade so that all of the council
can see them.
SPEAKER_05 (04:47):
And most of those are probably somebody writing
and upset over some issue, or dowe get some positive comments?
We
SPEAKER_08 (04:58):
get positive comments also.
I had an email this summer froma mayor in a small town in
Montana, who my cousin'sdaughter actually lives there,
Hamilton, Montana.
And he just wanted to let meknow that he visited our city
(05:18):
and he just thought it waswonderful.
SPEAKER_05 (05:21):
You are a spokesperson for the city of
Lincoln City and do that quitewell.
You enjoy that.
SPEAKER_08 (05:29):
Yes, I do.
I actually started promotingLincoln City when I was a
chamber ambassador, and it'sjust tenfold now as mayor.
SPEAKER_05 (05:40):
And it's all volunteer.
SPEAKER_08 (05:42):
Definitely.
SPEAKER_05 (05:44):
Yeah, there is no income that comes with Susan
walking as mayor of the city ofLincoln City.
Maybe some mileage once in agreat while.
SPEAKER_08 (05:52):
Right.
Mileage reimbursement.
I'd appreciate.
And of course, conferences arecovered.
SPEAKER_05 (05:59):
Why do you do it?
SPEAKER_08 (06:01):
Because I love Lincoln City and I love helping
people.
SPEAKER_05 (06:05):
It really is a good place to raise a family and
retire, is it not?
SPEAKER_08 (06:09):
Yes, we do know that.
SPEAKER_05 (06:12):
We don't do it real well, but we do know.
SPEAKER_08 (06:15):
We do know that and we have done that.
SPEAKER_05 (06:18):
Okay, let's go back and talk about city council.
And if I have an issue that Iwould like to bring up, what do
I do?
SPEAKER_08 (06:24):
Send an email to publiccomment at lincolncity.org
or show up at one of ourmeetings, which are normally
held At 6 p.m.
on the second and fourth Mondaysof the month here at City Hall.
SPEAKER_05 (06:40):
And there is a time on each agenda for public
comment, is there not?
SPEAKER_08 (06:45):
There are two opportunities for public
comment.
So if you get to the meetinglate, you can stick around to
the end and you'll have anotherchance.
SPEAKER_05 (06:54):
And you will hear most any type of topics?
SPEAKER_08 (06:57):
Yes, we hear anything people want to say.
We don't, as a rule, we do notengage in conversation.
But if it's an issue that we candeal with, we get back to them.
SPEAKER_05 (07:11):
At the council that night or when?
SPEAKER_08 (07:14):
Usually at the end of the meeting, council will
have a discussion and then wewill direct staff to do that.
SPEAKER_05 (07:20):
And directing staff is primarily your main function
and that would be the citymanager or city attorney?
SPEAKER_08 (07:28):
That's correct.
Okay.
Right.
We set the policy.
They do the work.
SPEAKER_05 (07:32):
Mayor Susan Wagee, a member of the Lincoln City
Kiwanis Club as well, a chamberambassador.
SPEAKER_08 (07:40):
No, I did not step back when they revitalized the
chamber ambassadors, but I planto attend the business after
hours next week.
SPEAKER_05 (07:49):
Right.
Mayor Susan Wagee.
We'll be back in just a moment.
SPEAKER_00 (07:52):
The best compliment we hear is the food was great
and the service was fun.
Adina Zeller here.
I am proud of our familytraditions and serving food,
family style, and doing it witha smile.
Enjoy dining out at Zeller's,Lincoln City, and Rose Lodge.
SPEAKER_03 (08:08):
In Oregon, there are 30 state senators, and we are
lucky to have Senator DickAnderson on the coast standing
up for our voices in Salem.
Senator Anderson has been calledthe most effective senator in
Salem.
He has passed landmark housingand homeless legislation, funded
police, criminalized hard drugsagain, stood up for local school
boards, and has sent over$100million in investments back to
(08:29):
coastal communities for housing,mental health, health care, and
infrastructure investments.
Being effective only matters ifit works.
This is why he has been endorsedby nearly every mayor in his
district.
Senator Anderson is local.
He understands how the small,rural communities struggle to
keep law enforcement and firefunded, attract jobs, and build
more housing.
(08:49):
There is more work to be done.
This is why Senator Anderson isrunning for re-election asking
for your vote.
Please go to SenatorAnderson.comand volunteer a yard sign
location.
Volunteer or even donate.
Senator Dick Anderson.
Leadership that works.
Paid for by Anderson for Oregon.
Pack number 20255.
SPEAKER_09 (09:08):
When looking for the bestsellers of today and
yesterday, look no further thanBob's Beach Books.
Hi, I'm Diana Portwood, and onbehalf of my sister Emily at
Roberts Bookshop, we thank ourdad, Bob, for the vision he had
in establishing our twofamily-owned bookstores in
Lincoln City.
SPEAKER_05 (09:22):
Our next guest is Allison Nelson Robertson, and
she's the Urban Renewal andEconomic Development Director
for the City of Lincoln City,and she's also my
daughter-in-law, and I'm goingto put that in there right from
the beginning.
Welcome aboard.
SPEAKER_10 (09:36):
Thanks for having me, Roger.
SPEAKER_05 (09:38):
You have got your hands full now with a brand new
budget and a brand new year, doyou not?
SPEAKER_10 (09:44):
Yeah, it kind of sneaks up on you sometimes.
And then there you are withprojects.
SPEAKER_05 (09:49):
Projects.
Let's talk about some of theprojects at Urban Renewal and
the Economic DevelopmentCommittee you've got going.
SPEAKER_10 (09:58):
Well, for economic development, we are still
focusing on property developmentof public properties and also
housing, really trying to focuson how to get more housing.
You You know, we have twowonderful projects that are
coming on board that are goingto be income qualified,
workforce, affordable housing.
And I think the next thing thatstaff is going to be talking
(10:18):
about with the city is trying tofigure out how to do more
missing middle housing, gettingup into the higher income
brackets for folks that justcan't quite stretch to get into
a home ownership position orchoose not to pay for newer
rental apartments that are costprohibitive or Or maybe just
(10:40):
have a bigger family and theydon't want to rent a two bedroom
apartment.
Or maybe they need a studio, nota two bedroom.
So it's just for housing, it'sabout finding the right size
unit for the right individual orfamily in the right condition.
So having newer construction orrehabilitated housing is always
a good thing
SPEAKER_05 (10:59):
for
SPEAKER_10 (11:06):
our community.
with me today, and I'm happy tocome back and talk more in depth
about housing, but the housingneeds assessment, the one that
we kind of work from is from2017, and that has kind of an
annual average goal to make newunits of 91 a year.
SPEAKER_05 (11:27):
Because you do lose some, correct?
Or is it that big of influx ofpeople?
SPEAKER_10 (11:34):
Of a need, yeah.
So really it has to do withmeeting our need now, which we
We know we're already notmeeting.
And then being able toaccommodate growth.
And we want to grow in the rightways, in the right places, at
the right time across that 20years.
We don't want to do it all nowor wait until year 18 and do it
all then, right?
SPEAKER_05 (11:53):
So what kind of crystal ball do you have?
SPEAKER_10 (11:56):
Well, I don't have any crystal ball.
I
SPEAKER_05 (11:58):
mean, that's some real envisioning.
SPEAKER_10 (12:01):
Yeah.
So, you know, the state has puta lot of requirements on cities
that I think are good.
proactive about working onhousing things, trying to make
housing development easier.
There's only so much thatgovernment can do and then it's
the market, right?
So there's interest rates andthere's availability of housing
and there's availability ofcontractors.
(12:23):
Our local contractors are verybusy and our builders as well.
And so we don't make thoseestimates.
The state requires cities ofcertain populations to do
housing needs assessments andhousing production strategies.
And so every few years, and thisis really the planning
department that does this.
Every few years, they have tohave some kind of a document
that has population projections,housing need based on who's here
(12:48):
now and who they think is goingto be here in the future.
So I'm not the crystal ballholder.
SPEAKER_05 (12:54):
Switching hats, urban renewal.
What kind of forecast do we havefor urban renewal for this year
now?
SPEAKER_10 (13:02):
Sure.
It's kind of exciting that wehave two urban renewal areas
now.
It's the first time that we'vehad two at the same time.
So that's a little bit of achallenge because the tax
increment funds that come froman urban renewal area have to be
spent only in that area.
So we're kind of tracking twoseparate pots of money and two
(13:23):
separate project groups over thecourse of those plans.
So in 2020, we adopted the RoadsEnd and Villages at Cascade Head
plan, and that's a 27-year plan.
So that will go to 2047, theyear And what they call the
maximum indebtedness of thatarea, which is the maximum
(13:44):
amount that we can spend onprojects, is about$87 million
over the 27 years.
SPEAKER_05 (13:50):
Okay, when you're talking about roads, then people
were going to sit back and say,well...
Roads End
SPEAKER_10 (13:58):
Urban Renewal?
Really?
(14:24):
to take a better look at how toprovide for the economies that
happen in Rhodes End, liketourism.
So are there beach access thatneed improvement?
Or is there more parking that weneed?
Or is there different parking?
Or are there sidewalks that weneed with maybe some push button
(14:45):
crossings or different thingslike that so that people can
really function and thrive inthat area, even though it's
dense?
To me, it kind of reminds me ofNelscott, right?
So it's super tight, small area,but we want it to function well,
which actually brings me to mynext topic.
Nelscott is the second urbanrenewal area.
And that plan was adopted in2023.
(15:06):
And that one is a 30 year plan.
So that one will go till theyear 2053.
And the maximum indebtedness orthe cap on how much money we
will be investing in capitalimprovement projects is$129
million for Nelscott.
And really kind of thedifferences between them.
So what I find interesting isRoads End mostly has one road in
(15:31):
and out, right?
Logan Road is kind of the mainaccess.
The village is at Cascade Head,which is also in that urban
renewal plan area, has one roadin and out.
And then Nelscott, 23rd Drive,is one road in and out.
So Yeah, absolutely.
(16:14):
create some job growth that isnon-tourism.
So if we can try to get somenon-tourism job growth that is
living wage, that will helpdiversify our economy.
SPEAKER_05 (16:24):
Allison Nelson-Robertson, again, the
Economic Development Directorand Urban Renewal Director for
the City of Lincoln City.
We're going to have to have youback because you have your hands

Talking with Dr.
Leslie Ogden from SamaritanNorth Lincoln Hospital and
Pacific Communities Hospital.
But you have a...
health fair, if you will, comingup in Newport to kind of
compliment the senior healthfair that you're in right now.
SPEAKER_12 (17:40):
Right, exactly.
We have a health fair for all,and it's called the Healthier
You Expo.
And people may have seen itoccur in prior years.
We've had it before.
But what we do is we partnerwith all kinds of health or
health-related organizations todeliver health fair that just
(18:03):
blows people's minds.
And I say that it has everythingfrom A to Z, but I have a list
of everything from A to V, atleast.
Things like acupuncturetreatments will be there.
We'll have chair massages.
We'll have blood pressurechecks, even a blood drive.
People can visit redcross.organd sign up for a donor time and
(18:27):
even give blood.
And we know blood is in suchshort supply.
We have dental screenings.
Dentist partners will be there.
will be there with us.
We'll have facials.
We'll even get into that, youknow, the beauty of yourself,
not just your health on theinside, but your health on the
outside as well.
We'll have flu shots.
So this is the time if you'relooking for a chance to get a
(18:50):
flu shot, this will be a superconvenient way to do that and
have fun with the remainder ofyour health.
We'll even have things likesleep assessments, vision
screenings, all kinds of things.
It is healthier.
you on speed.
It is just crazy.
SPEAKER_05 (19:07):
Healthier you on speed.
I love that.
But people would think tothemselves, okay, acupuncture at
the hospital, really?
SPEAKER_12 (19:15):
Well, these are all partners, right?
We might not provide theacupuncture, but there is a lot
of literature out there thatdoes indicate that acupuncture
can be useful for a number ofthings.
So we want to be the conduit toprovide the type of health
solutions that people mightneed.
(19:36):
It's not all Western medicine.
We have alternative andcomplementary medicines that
work along with Westernmedicine, and we need to pay
attention to that.
SPEAKER_05 (19:46):
It's taken us a long time in a Western culture to
accept that, has it not?
SPEAKER_12 (19:51):
Oh, it has.
Absolutely, it has.
But, you know, I'm very much ofthe thought if there's some data
out there that says it willwork, then we should be paying
attention.
And I think, you know,historically, we haven't paid
enough attention to thingsbeyond just our box that we you
know drew around westernmedicine so i think we have a
(20:12):
long ways to go to really firmlyintegrate all the different ways
that we can be healthier
SPEAKER_05 (20:18):
okay now the expo at newport and pacific communities
hospital is there a cost
SPEAKER_12 (20:23):
no this is absolutely free and it's
actually across the street fromthe hospital at the center for
health education it's on thatcampus right but that center for
health education sits rightthere on highway 101 at seven
740 Southwest 9th Street is theactual address.
But people can find this expo onSaturday, October 19th.
(20:46):
It's going to be from 9 a.m.
to 1 p.m.
again at that Center for HealthEducation right across the
street from Samaritan PacificCommunities Hospital.
And again, free admission, opento the public.
It is just going to be a fun dayof everything that you can
possibly think of that hasanything to do with your health.
SPEAKER_05 (21:07):
Okay.
you talked about a number ofpartners.
Do you want to list off some ofthose partners that will be
participating?
SPEAKER_12 (21:13):
Oh, absolutely.
You already heard me say theAmerican Red Cross, but we have
our dental partners such asAdvantage Dental and Toledo
Dental Care.
We have our friends at the OHSUKnight Cancer Institute who will
be there.
We have even food resources suchas the Oceana Natural Food
(21:33):
Cooperative who will be there.
We have Newport Parks andRecreation.
They'll be there showing off allthe different ways that you can
get fit and stay in shape.
As well as we have Harmony Yoga.
We have our own Sam Fit.
Folks will be there with so manydifferent ways to spark interest
in how you stay healthy.

They'll be there giving thosechair massages and doing that.
We've got also our Foundationsthat will be there to help you
understand how you can supporthealth efforts in your area.
And we have, again, evenhypnotherapy.
We have all kinds of folks thatare, they're not Samaritan, but
(22:18):
they're partners and we want tohighlight what they can do and
how they do it.
SPEAKER_05 (22:22):
I love the notion that you just said they're not
Samaritan, but they're partners.
SPEAKER_12 (22:28):
Oh, absolutely.
You know, the name of the gameis we can't do it all, but we
can certainly be a conduit tohelp everyone be helped And
sometimes it involves partnersdoing their best work to make
the whole patient healthier.
SPEAKER_05 (22:45):
It's interesting to me.
You're doing something to keeppeople healthy versus treat
people.
SPEAKER_12 (22:50):
Oh, my goodness.
Isn't that a change in thoughtprocess, right?
Like, don't treat the illness.
Let's create wellness.
And that is it.
I mean, when we talk about howpeople eat, how they recreate,
how they take care ofthemselves, all of this goes
into how healthy we are,especially as we age.
And so if we can show people howto be healthier, that is the
(23:14):
name of the And
SPEAKER_05 (23:15):
again, it is October 19th.
SPEAKER_12 (23:18):
October 19th at the Samaritan Center for Health
Education in Newport, rightacross from Pacific Communities
Hospital.
And that is 9 a.m.
to 1 p.m.
Free admission and open to thepublic.
We hope everyone comes out.
SPEAKER_05 (23:33):
The free admission is a real key to this whole
activity to get people at leastthinking towards wellness.
SPEAKER_12 (23:41):
Oh, yes, because we don't want any barriers to be
there to really show people andeducate them on all the
different ways to be healthy.

And Mayor Wacke, it's good tohave you back.
SPEAKER_08 (02:28):
Good to be here.
SPEAKER_05 (02:29):
Now...
The activities of the city areslowing down this time of year,
speeding up this time of year.
What are we doing?
SPEAKER_08 (02:38):
Oh, we're just busy all year.
We have ribbon cuttings.
We have all sorts of thingshappening.
SPEAKER_05 (02:46):
And speaking of ribbon cuttings, today as we're
recording this, you're going tobe doing a ribbon cutting this
afternoon.
SPEAKER_08 (02:53):
Yes, for a new beach access stairway up at the north
end of town.
near Schnuckman's Casino.
SPEAKER_05 (03:01):
Why is it important that you would have a ribbon
cutting for a stairwell?
SPEAKER_08 (03:05):
This is an interesting project in that it
is on tribal land.
And Parks and Rec asked tribalcouncil if they could contribute
to the rebuilding of thisstairway so that it was safe and
accessible.
And they agreed.
So it's another wonderfulcoordinated project with the
(03:28):
city.
And that
SPEAKER_05 (03:30):
in itself is critically important, isn't it
Susan?
SPEAKER_08 (03:33):
Definitely is.
So happy that we have such agood relationship.
SPEAKER_05 (03:38):
What do you do to enhance that, if you will, that
relationship with the tribe?
SPEAKER_08 (03:44):
The city council and the tribal council meet annually
and we talk over things thathave happened and will happen.
And if we have issues othertimes, we always have good lines
of communication open.
SPEAKER_05 (03:59):
It really is not a contentious activity, is it?
SPEAKER_08 (04:03):
Right, it's not.
We get along well.
SPEAKER_05 (04:06):
Okay, so we're going to go from ribbon cuttings and
what else does the mayor have atour plate that you're getting
people coming through the doorsaying, Susan, what about X?
Oh,
SPEAKER_08 (04:18):
there's always a variety of things, mostly by
email.
I try to respond to all emails.
There's just always lots ofthings happening.
SPEAKER_05 (04:27):
Now, responding by email, so if it's something
that's going to be on thecouncil agenda, can you respond
to that?
SPEAKER_08 (04:35):
Nope.
I ask them to please send it topubliccomment at
lincolncity.org.
That's where comments should bemade so that all of the council
can see them.
SPEAKER_05 (04:47):
And most of those are probably somebody writing
and upset over some issue, or dowe get some positive comments?
We
SPEAKER_08 (04:58):
get positive comments also.
I had an email this summer froma mayor in a small town in
Montana, who my cousin'sdaughter actually lives there,
Hamilton, Montana.
And he just wanted to let meknow that he visited our city
(05:18):
and he just thought it waswonderful.
SPEAKER_05 (05:21):
You are a spokesperson for the city of
Lincoln City and do that quitewell.
You enjoy that.
SPEAKER_08 (05:29):
Yes, I do.
I actually started promotingLincoln City when I was a
chamber ambassador, and it'sjust tenfold now as mayor.
SPEAKER_05 (05:40):
And it's all volunteer.
SPEAKER_08 (05:42):
Definitely.
SPEAKER_05 (05:44):
Yeah, there is no income that comes with Susan
walking as mayor of the city ofLincoln City.
Maybe some mileage once in agreat while.
SPEAKER_08 (05:52):
Right.
Mileage reimbursement.
I'd appreciate.
And of course, conferences arecovered.
SPEAKER_05 (05:59):
Why do you do it?
SPEAKER_08 (06:01):
Because I love Lincoln City and I love helping
people.
SPEAKER_05 (06:05):
It really is a good place to raise a family and
retire, is it not?
SPEAKER_08 (06:09):
Yes, we do know that.
SPEAKER_05 (06:12):
We don't do it real well, but we do know.
SPEAKER_08 (06:15):
We do know that and we have done that.
SPEAKER_05 (06:18):
Okay, let's go back and talk about city council.
And if I have an issue that Iwould like to bring up, what do
I do?
SPEAKER_08 (06:24):
Send an email to publiccomment at lincolncity.org
or show up at one of ourmeetings, which are normally
held At 6 p.m.
on the second and fourth Mondaysof the month here at City Hall.
SPEAKER_05 (06:40):
And there is a time on each agenda for public
comment, is there not?
SPEAKER_08 (06:45):
There are two opportunities for public
comment.
So if you get to the meetinglate, you can stick around to
the end and you'll have anotherchance.
SPEAKER_05 (06:54):
And you will hear most any type of topics?
SPEAKER_08 (06:57):
Yes, we hear anything people want to say.
We don't, as a rule, we do notengage in conversation.
But if it's an issue that we candeal with, we get back to them.
SPEAKER_05 (07:11):
At the council that night or when?
SPEAKER_08 (07:14):
Usually at the end of the meeting, council will
have a discussion and then wewill direct staff to do that.
SPEAKER_05 (07:20):
And directing staff is primarily your main function
and that would be the citymanager or city attorney?
SPEAKER_08 (07:28):
That's correct.
Okay.
Right.
We set the policy.
They do the work.
SPEAKER_05 (07:32):
Mayor Susan Wagee, a member of the Lincoln City
Kiwanis Club as well, a chamberambassador.
SPEAKER_08 (07:40):
No, I did not step back when they revitalized the
chamber ambassadors, but I planto attend the business after
hours next week.
SPEAKER_05 (07:49):
Right.
Mayor Susan Wagee.
We'll be back in just a moment.

family style, and doing it witha smile.

SPEAKER_03 (08:08):
In Oregon, there are 30 state senators, and we are
lucky to have Senator DickAnderson on the coast standing
up for our voices in Salem.
Senator Anderson has been calledthe most effective senator in
Salem.
He has passed landmark housingand homeless legislation, funded
police, criminalized hard drugsagain, stood up for local school
boards, and has sent over$100million in investments back to
(08:29):
coastal communities for housing,mental health, health care, and
infrastructure investments.
Being effective only matters ifit works.
This is why he has been endorsedby nearly every mayor in his
district.
Senator Anderson is local.
He understands how the small,rural communities struggle to
keep law enforcement and firefunded, attract jobs, and build
more housing.
(08:49):
There is more work to be done.
This is why Senator Anderson isrunning for re-election asking
for your vote.
Please go to SenatorAnderson.comand volunteer a yard sign
location.
Volunteer or even donate.
Senator Dick Anderson.
Leadership that works.
Paid for by Anderson for Oregon.

SPEAKER_09 (09:08):
When looking for the bestsellers of today and
yesterday, look no further thanBob's Beach Books.
Hi, I'm Diana Portwood, and onbehalf of my sister Emily at
Roberts Bookshop, we thank ourdad, Bob, for the vision he had
in establishing our twofamily-owned bookstores in
Lincoln City.
SPEAKER_05 (09:22):
Our next guest is Allison Nelson Robertson, and
she's the Urban Renewal andEconomic Development Director
for the City of Lincoln City,and she's also my
daughter-in-law, and I'm goingto put that in there right from
the beginning.
Welcome aboard.
SPEAKER_10 (09:36):
Thanks for having me, Roger.
SPEAKER_05 (09:38):
You have got your hands full now with a brand new
budget and a brand new year, doyou not?
SPEAKER_10 (09:44):
Yeah, it kind of sneaks up on you sometimes.
And then there you are withprojects.
SPEAKER_05 (09:49):
Projects.
Let's talk about some of theprojects at Urban Renewal and
the Economic DevelopmentCommittee you've got going.
SPEAKER_10 (09:58):
Well, for economic development, we are still
focusing on property developmentof public properties and also
housing, really trying to focuson how to get more housing.
You You know, we have twowonderful projects that are
coming on board that are goingto be income qualified,
workforce, affordable housing.
And I think the next thing thatstaff is going to be talking
(10:18):
about with the city is trying tofigure out how to do more
missing middle housing, gettingup into the higher income
brackets for folks that justcan't quite stretch to get into
a home ownership position orchoose not to pay for newer
rental apartments that are costprohibitive or Or maybe just
(10:40):
have a bigger family and theydon't want to rent a two bedroom
apartment.
Or maybe they need a studio, nota two bedroom.
So it's just for housing, it'sabout finding the right size
unit for the right individual orfamily in the right condition.
So having newer construction orrehabilitated housing is always
a good thing
SPEAKER_05 (10:59):
for
SPEAKER_10 (11:06):
our community.
with me today, and I'm happy tocome back and talk more in depth
about housing, but the housingneeds assessment, the one that
we kind of work from is from2017, and that has kind of an
annual average goal to make newunits of 91 a year.
SPEAKER_05 (11:27):
Because you do lose some, correct?
Or is it that big of influx ofpeople?
SPEAKER_10 (11:34):
Of a need, yeah.
So really it has to do withmeeting our need now, which we
We know we're already notmeeting.
And then being able toaccommodate growth.
And we want to grow in the rightways, in the right places, at
the right time across that 20years.
We don't want to do it all nowor wait until year 18 and do it
all then, right?
SPEAKER_05 (11:53):
So what kind of crystal ball do you have?
SPEAKER_10 (11:56):
Well, I don't have any crystal ball.
I
SPEAKER_05 (11:58):
mean, that's some real envisioning.
SPEAKER_10 (12:01):
Yeah.
So, you know, the state has puta lot of requirements on cities
that I think are good.
proactive about working onhousing things, trying to make
housing development easier.
There's only so much thatgovernment can do and then it's
the market, right?
So there's interest rates andthere's availability of housing
and there's availability ofcontractors.
(12:23):
Our local contractors are verybusy and our builders as well.
And so we don't make thoseestimates.
The state requires cities ofcertain populations to do
housing needs assessments andhousing production strategies.
And so every few years, and thisis really the planning
department that does this.
Every few years, they have tohave some kind of a document
that has population projections,housing need based on who's here
(12:48):
now and who they think is goingto be here in the future.
So I'm not the crystal ballholder.
SPEAKER_05 (12:54):
Switching hats, urban renewal.
What kind of forecast do we havefor urban renewal for this year
now?
SPEAKER_10 (13:02):
Sure.
It's kind of exciting that wehave two urban renewal areas
now.
It's the first time that we'vehad two at the same time.
So that's a little bit of achallenge because the tax
increment funds that come froman urban renewal area have to be
spent only in that area.
So we're kind of tracking twoseparate pots of money and two
(13:23):
separate project groups over thecourse of those plans.
So in 2020, we adopted the RoadsEnd and Villages at Cascade Head
plan, and that's a 27-year plan.
So that will go to 2047, theyear And what they call the
maximum indebtedness of thatarea, which is the maximum
(13:44):
amount that we can spend onprojects, is about$87 million
over the 27 years.
SPEAKER_05 (13:50):
Okay, when you're talking about roads, then people
were going to sit back and say,well...
Roads End
SPEAKER_10 (13:58):
Urban Renewal?
Really?
(14:24):
to take a better look at how toprovide for the economies that
happen in Rhodes End, liketourism.
So are there beach access thatneed improvement?
Or is there more parking that weneed?
Or is there different parking?
Or are there sidewalks that weneed with maybe some push button
(14:45):
crossings or different thingslike that so that people can
really function and thrive inthat area, even though it's
dense?
To me, it kind of reminds me ofNelscott, right?
So it's super tight, small area,but we want it to function well,
which actually brings me to mynext topic.
Nelscott is the second urbanrenewal area.
And that plan was adopted in2023.
(15:06):
And that one is a 30 year plan.
So that one will go till theyear 2053.
And the maximum indebtedness orthe cap on how much money we
will be investing in capitalimprovement projects is$129
million for Nelscott.
And really kind of thedifferences between them.
So what I find interesting isRoads End mostly has one road in
(15:31):
and out, right?
Logan Road is kind of the mainaccess.
The village is at Cascade Head,which is also in that urban
renewal plan area, has one roadin and out.
And then Nelscott, 23rd Drive,is one road in and out.
So Yeah, absolutely.
(16:14):
create some job growth that isnon-tourism.
So if we can try to get somenon-tourism job growth that is
living wage, that will helpdiversify our economy.
SPEAKER_05 (16:24):
Allison Nelson-Robertson, again, the
Economic Development Directorand Urban Renewal Director for
the City of Lincoln City.

Talking with Dr.
Leslie Ogden from SamaritanNorth Lincoln Hospital and
Pacific Communities Hospital.
But you have a...
health fair, if you will, comingup in Newport to kind of
compliment the senior healthfair that you're in right now.
SPEAKER_12 (17:40):
Right, exactly.
We have a health fair for all,and it's called the Healthier
You Expo.
And people may have seen itoccur in prior years.
We've had it before.
But what we do is we partnerwith all kinds of health or
health-related organizations todeliver health fair that just
(18:03):
blows people's minds.
And I say that it has everythingfrom A to Z, but I have a list
of everything from A to V, atleast.
Things like acupuncturetreatments will be there.
We'll have chair massages.
We'll have blood pressurechecks, even a blood drive.
People can visit redcross.organd sign up for a donor time and
(18:27):
even give blood.
And we know blood is in suchshort supply.
We have dental screenings.
Dentist partners will be there.
will be there with us.
We'll have facials.
We'll even get into that, youknow, the beauty of yourself,
not just your health on theinside, but your health on the
outside as well.
We'll have flu shots.
So this is the time if you'relooking for a chance to get a
(18:50):
flu shot, this will be a superconvenient way to do that and
have fun with the remainder ofyour health.
We'll even have things likesleep assessments, vision
screenings, all kinds of things.
It is healthier.
you on speed.
It is just crazy.
SPEAKER_05 (19:07):
Healthier you on speed.
I love that.
But people would think tothemselves, okay, acupuncture at
the hospital, really?
SPEAKER_12 (19:15):
Well, these are all partners, right?
We might not provide theacupuncture, but there is a lot
of literature out there thatdoes indicate that acupuncture
can be useful for a number ofthings.
So we want to be the conduit toprovide the type of health
solutions that people mightneed.
(19:36):
It's not all Western medicine.
We have alternative andcomplementary medicines that
work along with Westernmedicine, and we need to pay
attention to that.
SPEAKER_05 (19:46):
It's taken us a long time in a Western culture to
accept that, has it not?
SPEAKER_12 (19:51):
Oh, it has.
Absolutely, it has.
But, you know, I'm very much ofthe thought if there's some data
out there that says it willwork, then we should be paying
attention.
And I think, you know,historically, we haven't paid
enough attention to thingsbeyond just our box that we you
know drew around westernmedicine so i think we have a
(20:12):
long ways to go to really firmlyintegrate all the different ways
that we can be healthier
SPEAKER_05 (20:18):
okay now the expo at newport and pacific communities
hospital is there a cost
SPEAKER_12 (20:23):
no this is absolutely free and it's
actually across the street fromthe hospital at the center for
health education it's on thatcampus right but that center for
health education sits rightthere on highway 101 at seven
740 Southwest 9th Street is theactual address.
But people can find this expo onSaturday, October 19th.
(20:46):
It's going to be from 9 a.m.
to 1 p.m.
again at that Center for HealthEducation right across the
street from Samaritan PacificCommunities Hospital.
And again, free admission, opento the public.
It is just going to be a fun dayof everything that you can
possibly think of that hasanything to do with your health.
SPEAKER_05 (21:07):
Okay.
you talked about a number ofpartners.
Do you want to list off some ofthose partners that will be
participating?
SPEAKER_12 (21:13):
Oh, absolutely.
You already heard me say theAmerican Red Cross, but we have
our dental partners such asAdvantage Dental and Toledo
Dental Care.
We have our friends at the OHSUKnight Cancer Institute who will
be there.
We have even food resources suchas the Oceana Natural Food
(21:33):
Cooperative who will be there.

We've got also our Foundationsthat will be there to help you
understand how you can supporthealth efforts in your area.
And we have, again, evenhypnotherapy.
We have all kinds of folks thatare, they're not Samaritan, but
(22:18):
they're partners and we want tohighlight what they can do and
how they do it.
SPEAKER_05 (22:22):
I love the notion that you just said they're not
Samaritan, but they're partners.
SPEAKER_12 (22:28):
Oh, absolutely.
You know, the name of the gameis we can't do it all, but we
can certainly be a conduit tohelp everyone be helped And
sometimes it involves partnersdoing their best work to make
the whole patient healthier.
SPEAKER_05 (22:45):
It's interesting to me.
You're doing something to keeppeople healthy versus treat
people.
SPEAKER_12 (22:50):
Oh, my goodness.
Isn't that a change in thoughtprocess, right?
Like, don't treat the illness.
Let's create wellness.
And that is it.
I mean, when we talk about howpeople eat, how they recreate,
how they take care ofthemselves, all of this goes
into how healthy we are,especially as we age.
And so if we can show people howto be healthier, that is the
(23:14):
