CANNON BEACH — The Cannon Beach City Council is anticipating a year packed with projects:

Increasing hotel revenue; expanding NeCus’ Park; adding acreage to the Ecola Creek Forest Reserve; reviewing the master development plan for the city’s South Wind property top the list of the City Council’s goals for 2015.

At its annual retreat Jan. 24 at Tolovana Inn — the first for Sam Steidel as mayor — the council zeroed in on these general concerns, which will become part of a broader strategic plan incorporating feedback from city staff and the Cannon Beach community.

The strategic plan may also lay out options for addressing Cannon Beach’s affordable housing scarcity and making the city more sustainable and eco-friendly.

Woodburn City Administrator Scott Derickson served as the volunteer facilitator, helping to articulate and organize the council’s short-term priorities. Derickson is a former Clatsop County manager and former Warrenton city manager.

The council plans to start taking care of a handful of items fairly soon, including:

• Hiring a finance director and an information technology manager;

• Deciding whether the city’s dune management plan should be updated;

• Requiring reports from the various city boards, committees and commissions to ensure they’re staying on task;

• Identifying how much available land exists in Cannon Beach and determine what could be used to build affordable housing.

At its 2015 work sessions, the council plans to discuss:

• Repairs and renovations at City Hall and Tolovana Hall;

• Placing the city’s utilities underground;

• Setting up integrated wireless Internet access throughout town, beginning in the business corridors;

• Whether the city should make public beach accesses more uniform and more visible from the coastline;

• Whether an events center should be built in Cannon Beach, and if it should go on the 58-acre South Wind site;

• Upgrading electric, water and sewer services at the city-owned RV Park;

• Whether the city should allow the proposed Cannon Beach Academy charter school to use a portion of the RV park as a temporary location.
