Private property could be considered for temporary emergency Warming Shelter use

Private property could be considered for temporary emergency Warming Shelter use

Ordinance private property

An ordinance that would allow for voluntary use of private property for a temporary emergency warming shelter and reduce restrictions on the availability of public property will be considered Monday, Oct. 22, by the Lincoln City City Council.

While the proposal, which also provides for emergency shelters, staging areas, inoculation areas, distribution centers and similar emergency operations, does not permit the City to commandeer private property, it would allow for its use if agreed to by the owner.

“I’m all in favor of giving the City more latitude for helping people,” Mayor Don Williams said today.

Various locations are being considered to serve as a site for the Lincoln City Resource Center & Emergency Warming Shelter this winter following the City’s funding reduction of Taft Hall, 1206 SE 48th Place, due to its legal inability under zoning restrictions to host clients overnight.

The fourth floor of City Hall, where Career Tech Charter School resides as a renter from the City, has been mentioned as a possible replacement site. The old fire department building on SW 4th Street has also been proposed, but the building lacks insulation, running water or bathrooms.

Compliance with “Accessory Use” requirements eliminated First Baptist Church at 1333 N.W. 17th St. in the Oceanlake Plan District zone.

Language of proposed Ordinance 2018-14 would amend Chapter 2.72 (Emergency Operations Ordinance), and Section 2.72.070 (Authorized Emergency Orders) of the Lincoln City Municipal Code to provide for temporary emergency operations use of public and private property. The ordinance states:

— Upon the declaration of an emergency, and during the existence of such emergency, the terms of any such declaration may include any of the following or such other terms of emergency orders which are not prohibited by law, allowing the City of Lincoln City to redirect funds for emergency use.

— Suspend standard procurement procedures to obtain necessary goods, services and/or equipment;

— Prohibit “price gouging.” Specifically, no person or business may sell or attempt to sell any goods or services for a price in excess of the “normal market price,” which shall mean that person’s or business’s average of the regular price of the goods or services for the 30 days preceding the declaration of the state of emergency.

— Implement mutual aid agreements, and to enter into any new such agreements or amend existing agreements, under the signature of the emergency manager.

— Turn off water, gas or electricity.

— Restrict, regulate or prohibit vehicular or pedestrian traffic for such distance or degree as may be deemed necessary under the circumstances, including the closing to the public of any or all public places, including streets, alleys, public ways, schools, parks, beaches, amusement areas and public buildings.

— Enter or pass through private property for the purpose of responding to the emergency and/or for the conduct of damage assessment.

— Evacuate persons from the area designated as an emergency area. A mandatory evacuation order may be authorized by the emergency manager only when necessary for public safety or for the efficient conduct of activities that minimize or mitigate the effects of the emergency.

— Establish a curfew during specified hours in specified geographic areas and locations.

— Prohibit or limit the number of persons who may gather or congregate upon  any public street, public place, or any outdoor place within the area designated as an emergency area.

— Assist in the implementation of any order of the federal government, the Governor, State Public Health Director, or local public health representative related to public health or public health emergency, as directed, pursuant to ORS 7 431.270, 431.264, 431.411, or 401.055, or order.

— Prohibit possession of loaded firearms, weapons or explosives or any instrument which is capable of producing harm to person or property on public streets, public places or any outdoor place; provided, that any such order shall not apply to firearms possessed by individuals specified in ORS 166.173.

— Prohibit or restrict the sale, distribution or giving away of gasoline or other flammable liquids, except that such prohibition normally shall not extend to the filling of a gasoline tank properly affixed to a motor vehicle or equipment responding to emergency circumstances, nor to any police or military or other official acting under color of government authority.

— Curtail or suspend commercial activity.

— Prohibit or restrict the sale of alcoholic beverages or other intoxicants.

— Designate any developed or undeveloped City property for temporary Emergency Operations Uses, including but not limited to, use as an emergency facility, shelter, overnight shelter, bivouac, mess hall, temporary campground, staging area, inoculation center, distribution center, or similar emergency operation uses. Private or other public property may similarly be designated by the City, with the permission of the property owner, for such emergency uses. The duration of such authorized uses is only during the period of the emergency and for a reasonable period of time after the end of the declared emergency.

— Make application to Lincoln County or any other municipal entity for further assistance by way of any existing or newly negotiated mutual aid or intergovernmental agreement, and to make application for a Governor’s declaration of emergency or other such emergency assistance as becomes available under local, state or federal law.

— Order such other measures as are found to be necessary for the protection of life, property, infrastructure, the environment, or for the recovery from the emergency. Such other measures shall be set forth in writing on the emergency declaration, or added to the declaration when such measures become necessary.

— On a case-by-case basis, the emergency manager may authorize a written exemption from any emergency measure or order for an individual or group of volunteer emergency responders.

Teens* without Drivers Ed are responsible for 91 percent of teen crashes

Teens* without Drivers Ed are responsible for 91 percent of teen crashes

Drivers ed

Parents: would you like to reduce the chances of your teen driver being in a crash by a staggering amount? Get them into a driver education program. Oregon statistics shows that teens age 15 – 20 without driver education are responsible for 91 percent of teen driver crashes.

“If you think about the fact that we’re reaching a little over a one-third to one-half of all eligible teens in Oregon, but are only represented in under 9 percent of all crashes, it’s time to raise the flag and let people know,” said Driver Education Program Manager William Warner.

At first, Warner and teen driving safety advocates across the state were hesitant to highlight the differences because the data was so new; now they are ready to stand behind the statistics.

“We now have 4 years’ worth of data and have established some depth and breadth to our numbers,” Warner said.

Unfortunately, it’s still true that teen drivers and their families experience tragedy even if the new driver has taken driver education, but the chances are greatly reduced. And that’s reason to celebrate. ODOT’s Safety Division has a resource page for young drivers and parents, including information about getting financial assistance to take driver education for families that qualify.

October 21 – 27 is National Teen Driver Safety Week, and it presents an opportunity for parents to have conversations with their teens about the important rules they need to follow to stay safe behind the wheel. Oregon has what’s called graduated licensing, designed to give young drivers more time to gain valuable driving experience. That means that depending on your age, the rules change, such as when you can drive, who you can or cannot have in the car, etc.

Some rules, however, never change – the greatest dangers for teen drivers are similar to those for all drivers, and worth emphasizing:

  • Alcohol and drug-impaired driving.
  • Inconsistent or no seat belt use.
  • Distracted and drowsy driving.
  • Speeding.
  • Having too many passengers in the car.

You can find everything you need to know about teen driving on our website. Start improving your teen driver’s safety today with driver education; it’s too important to wait.

*Ages 15 – 20

Additional statistic: In 2017 in Oregon, 51 people were killed by 44 drivers age 15-20. Considering the data and statistics from 2013-2016, that would mean three or four of those drivers had taken driver education; 40 or 41 had not (2017 data is still preliminary).

Important information from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration for National Teen Driving Safety Week, Oct. 21 – 27:

  • Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teens (15-18 years old) in the United States – ahead of all other types of injury, disease, or violence.
  • In 2016 in the U.S, there were 2,288 people killed in crashes involving a teen driver (15-18 years old), of which 814 deaths were the teen driver – a 6 percent increase from 2015.
  • Parents can be the biggest influences on teens’ choices behind the wheel if they take the time to talk with their teens about some of the biggest driving risks.

Lincoln City Homepage News – Oct. 18, 2018

Good evening Lincoln City, I’m Justin Werner with Lincoln City Homepage.

Autobahn 101 was the scene of Conversation with the Candidates, which was an open to the public debate between mayoral candidates. Dick Anderson, Susan Wahlke and David Dahle answered questions from the public as well as from Autobahn 101 owner Roy Barker. Barker and his band “Uncle Roy” performed after the event.

Senior Lincoln City Planner Debra Nicholson is being named Planner of the Year in Bend today for her excellence in planning.

Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office issued a phone scam alert notifying the public of scammers posing as law enforcement in a bid to get victims to wire money to release loved ones.

Another media outlet published an article saying the Warming Shelter had an assault occur at its property. A Homepage investigation proved this to be false.

Former Evidence Tech Molly Wehrley is newly promoted to Officer. You may remember her from our coverage of pedestrian safety enforcement.

Evidence tech Wehrley promoted to Lincoln City Police officer

Former evidence tech Molly Wehrley, saying she intends to “toe the line and stand between order and chaos,” was sworn in Tuesday as a Lincoln City Police officer at a ceremony at City Hall.

Wehrley spent almost a year with the agency processing evidence and property before pursuing her goal of becoming an officer. She developed an interest in law enforcement while participating as a scout in her high school “Police Explorer” program, where she was able to spend time with officers as they made traffic stops, investigated crimes and patrolled.

She said her interaction with the public and use of evidence to determine the truth drew her to a career in law enforcement and prompted her to complete her certification in the Law Enforcement Specialist program at Tillamook Bay Community College in the spring of 2017.

Wehrley, who was sworn in as an officer in Lincoln City Council Chambers, said she aspires to continue to reach out to the youth and community in a positive way. Fellow officers say she is the kind of person who can jump in during a crisis and assist in any way necessary.

City Council ponders rule change for temporary Warming Shelter location

An ordinance to alter rules and restrictions on where a warming shelter can be located could come before the Lincoln City City Council at its Oct. 22 meeting and allow for designation of City property as an emergency site on a temporary basis.

“I think that accurately reflects the emergency situation that our community finds itself in,” Lincoln City Warming Shelter President Patrick Alexander said Wednesday.

The Council moved Monday evening to allow City Manager Ron Chandler to designate a site for temporary use during a special workshop at City Hall. Proposals for buying or building a shelter for eventual longtime use were also discussed.

Alexander said various sites exist that could serve effectively as a shelter for the coming winter. He said the most efficient site for both clients and volunteers would be the continued use of Taft Hall, located at 1206 SE 48th Place.

Taft Hall has served as site for the Shelter for the past couple of years, but its legal inability to host clients overnight caused the Council to drastically reduce grant funding at its Sept. 10 meeting.

Zoning issues eliminated First Baptist Church at 1333 N.W. 17th St. as a site to replace Taft Hall because it lied within the Oceanlake Plan District zone, which does not comply with “Accessory Use” requirements.

Alexander said the offer of an alternative site in the form of the old fire department building showed the city is fully engaged on the warming shelter issue, but that the building at SW 4th Street has no insulation, running water or bathrooms.

The fourth floor of City Hall, where Career Tech Charter School resides as a renter from the City, was also mentioned as a possible replacement site.

“I was really encouraged by the direction of the [Oct. 15] workshop,” Alexander said. “We look forward to working with city staff to find a timely solution.”

Councilors met Monday to research and evaluate the homelessness situation in Lincoln City and discuss “funding, zoning and intergovernmental cooperation” on homelessness services in what Councilor Judy Casper said was “an effort to provide stable facilities that meet the needs of this everlasting, changing, growing population.”

Since opening in November 2017, the Lincoln City Resource Center & Emergency Warming Shelter has provided more than 6,806 meals, 1,071 showers, 357 loads of laundry, 40 bus tickets and 15 birth certificates to its daytime clients. The Shelter provided 396 overnight stays last year, providing 1,179 meals to its guests.

In addition, it provides warm clothes, shoes, toiletry and feminine hygiene products free of charge. The Shelter also offers job placement services, mental health and housing assistance, and works closely with Safeway, rehabilitation centers, and county and state assistance agencies. It also partners with hair stylists and dentists to provide free care on selected dates throughout the year.
