Scappoose Economic Development Committee sets strategic‑plan timeline, moves meeting date and elects new leadership
Summary
Committee members agreed to a staged four‑month process to produce an economic development strategic report, moved the October meeting to Oct. 10, and completed nominations/election for chair and vice‑chair (Christine Turner nominated and accepted for chair).
Members of the Scappoose Economic Development Committee discussed creating an economic development strategic plan/report and set a staged timeline for deliverables. Carl Finstermaker outlined three buckets for the plan — current codes, current opportunities and larger economic conditions — and asked committee members to submit bullet‑point input ahead of the next meeting. Carl proposed a four‑month timeline with staged sections and a draft to the council after iterative work with staff and stakeholders.
The committee also adjusted its meeting schedule: because two members will be absent for the Oct. 24 meeting, the group moved the next meeting to Oct. 10 after a motion to change the date.
During the extended portion of the meeting, the chair opened nominations for committee leadership. Carl nominated Christine Turner for chair; she accepted. Vice‑chair nominations followed, and the committee recorded a voice vote approving the nominations (individual vote tallies were not recorded in detail in the transcript). The chair confirmed future meeting dates (Oct. 10, Nov. 20, Dec. 19) and closed the session.
