Clatsop County commissioners approve Arch Cape incorporation study, easement transfer and several local permits

Clatsop County commissioners at a regular session approved multiple local actions including funding an incorporation feasibility study for Arch Cape, a property easement transfer, a community event permit and a committee appointment.

The board authorized up to $106,500 from the discretionary portion of the county's unincorporated tax rate to fund an incorporation feasibility study requested by the Arch Cape Falcon Cove Beach Community Club Inc. County Manager Tiffany Deals told the board the club will contribute $3,500 in dues toward the study and that the funds come from the existing unincorporated-tax pool and will not reduce current road and drainage spending in the area.
