David Cook, planning manager for Clatsop County's Community Development Department, told the Planning Commission on Aug. 12 that the month's project status "is not tremendously different from last month." He said several large projects — including four ordinances related to dredged material disposal in the Columbia River Estuary — were being postponed to future meetings.

Cook also said the county will bring updates to the comprehensive plan goals 16, 17 and 18 to the commission for public hearing on Sept. 9, 2025. He described those updates as the primary items scheduled for the next meeting.

Cook's brief project-status report did not include new budget figures or detailed timelines beyond the Sept. 9 public hearing date. Commissioners asked no follow-up questions during the August meeting. The report concluded with no formal actions taken; the commission adjourned after routine business.
