Last weeks meeting ended before everyone got to weigh in on how December and 2009 overall ended for their business. Once again, the general gist was that December was better than last year when<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></font>Portland was snowed in for two weeks, but not as good as hoped for or as previous years. George reported that he observed fewer people than ever (excluding those two weeks last December) for December and tight money. 2009 matched 2008, which was a very disappointing year. John said he has had several people ask him at his restaurant why there are so few people in town – inquiring if CB does any promotion. </div><div style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt; ">3. Several people in the meeting were present at the NWACT/ODOT meeting in Scappoose last week. George reported that his take was that ODOT would like to do the road surface lowering at the same time as replacing the old timber lining. If that is something which will cause extended closure and therefore something which we want to prevent, then we need to be diligent, as Jeff stressed. Patrick pointed out that part of the desire to accommodate larger trucks is to have Hwy 26 serve as an alter</span></font>native to Hwy 30 in case of landslides or other closures – a “redundant” route to 30. </div><div style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt; ">4.

Patrick: Meetings are continuing as a 1% increase in the City’s Motel Tax is discussed. Nothing is set yet, but a 5 person commission comprised of 3 people from lodging, 1 from the Arts and one from the public at large, is being considered as the group who will administer the anticipated $300,000. This amount is 70% of the $430,000 total.

May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that God has given to you. May you be content with yourself just he way you are.
