Summary
Council voted to appoint Tim Collier as interim (pro tem) city manager, authorized a recruitment contract with GMP Consultants, and approved a park design and construction services award to Not Studios; roll‑call votes were recorded for the resolutions and the procurement award.
The Cannon Beach City Council approved multiple formal actions during the special meeting.
Resolution 26‑14 — Interim (Pro‑Tem) City Manager: The council moved and approved a resolution appointing Tim Collier as interim (pro‑tem) city manager beginning August 8, 2026. During discussion staff counsel confirmed the city charter limits pro‑tem appointments to a four‑month term; council discussed extension options should recruitment take longer. The motion passed on a roll call in which members recorded "yes." (Roll‑call responses were recorded in the meeting minutes.)
Resolution 26‑15 — City Manager Recruitment Contract: Council authorized the mayor to enter into a personal services agreement with GMP Consultants for city manager recruitment; the resolution was approved after attorney review of the contract form.
Park design and construction services: Council accepted the selection committee’s recommendation and awarded the park element design and construction services contract to Not Studios (selection and award motion carried by roll call).
No additional substantive conditions or amendments were adopted on the floor during the meeting; council instructed staff to finalize contract documents consistent with the motions and to bring related purchase/sale agreements or public‑service agreements back to the August 6 meeting where applicable.
