Clatsop County planning for Bradwood

 Warrenton City Manager Ed Madere received approval to ask Clatsop County officials to develop a comprehensive approach to developing a public safety corridor to deal with hazards related to the Bradwood LNG facility, rather than tackling the issue piecemeal. Last month, the county signed a privacy agreement with Bradwood Landing to allow eight employees to view privileged safety information on the project, including the U.S. Coast Guard assessment of LNG ships on the river.

Madere recommended that the county hire expert consultants to represent itself and other local agencies, including Warrenton and Astoria, in developing and reviewing plans with Bradwood Landing officials, to address safety and transportation issues. Mayor Pro-tem Mark Kujala and Commissioners Terry Ferguson, Frank Orrell and Dick Hellberg were in favor. Mayor Gil Gramson was absent.
