William Orr and Chester Trabucco, the operators of the Astoria Riverwalk Inn for the Port of Astoria, want to lease the adjacent Chinook Building.

On the agenda of Tuesday’s Port Commission meeting is a proposal by Marina Village LLC, a company registered to Orr, to lease the building for 20 years at $6,000 a month, with two 20-year extension options.

Marina Village would take over the building’s leases and handle maintenance. The building includes Northwest Wild Products, the Astoria Yacht Club and offices for an accountant, real estate company, tax service and fishing charter company. The Port makes $4,200 a month in rental income from the tenants.

Trabucco said there are no plans to change the tenants.

“We see the building as a long-term … nice enhancement to the waterfront,” Trabucco said. “I don’t see a change of occupancy by any stretch of the imagination.”

He said the tenant mix in the Chinook Building is already similar to that of No. 10 Sixth St., a commercial waterfront building he owned with more than 30 tenants that burned down in 2010. Trabucco also restored the Hotel Elliott downtown before selling his interest in 2010.

Nearly a year ago, the Port Commission voted to install Orr and Trabucco as short-term operators of the Riverwalk Inn. Cliff Fick, an adviser to Orr and Trabucco, regularly reports to the Port Commission on renovations and repairs to the hotel.

The lease could help solve disagreements between the Port and NW Wild Products over plumbing issues and utility bills.

The company claims the Port has not plumbed the underside of the Chinook Building properly, causing repeated backups. The Port, which delivered a notice of default on NW Wild Products’ lease in May, claims the company is causing the backups by not properly disposing of seafood and sand.

As part of its lease, Marina Village would pay $7,200 in past-due bills the Port says NW Wild Products owes for pipe repairs and clogs.

Trabucco and Orr have also shown interest in the former Seafare Restaurant next to the Chinook Building. The Port announced in February that a new master plan for the agency was needed before offering up the former restaurant. Vacant since the 2000s, the restaurant was once a popular destination and was used for a dinner scene in the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie “Kindergarten Cop.”

Astoria Hospitality Ventures — Orr and Trabucco’s partnership — is technically the short-term operator of the Riverwalk Inn while the Port waits for the resolution of a lawsuit over the operation of the hotel.

The Port, Executive Director Jim Knight, Trabucco and Orr are defendants in a suit filed by Param Hotel Group, the spurned suitor for the Riverwalk Inn. Param has claimed the Port breached an existing agreement with the company when it chose Hospitality Ventures to take over operation of the hotel from indebted former operator Brad Smithart and his company, Hospitality Masters.

Orr and Trabucco were added as co-defendants in the case on claims they had interfered with the agreement by using their connections on the commission. Orr’s brother-in-law is Port Commissioner Stephen Fulton. Param also claims Orr is friends with Port Commissioner Bill Hunsinger.

Clatsop County Circuit Court Judge Philip Nelson in May granted Trabucco and Orr’s motion to be removed from the case, agreeing that the company’s lobbying of the Port Commission was protected activity.

Hospitality Ventures requested more than $89,000 worth of attorney fees for seven different attorneys used in the case. Param objected, claiming the fees were grossly unreasonable and asking the court to award Hospitality Ventures $10,000. The parties are set to next meet in court in late July.
