Hood River County Commissioners concluded a nearly two-year effort to approve modifications to the ordinance regulating short-term rentals.  By a 4-1 vote, the Commission approved the second reading of an ordinance that includes modifying residency requirements to meet state law, eliminating the cap on the number of STR’s allowed in the County and instead establishing proof of residency requirements, limiting operation to 180 days unless in a commercial zone, and other limitations.  County Administrator Jeff Hecksel says they will now give the ordinance a chance to work.  The Commission approved the ordinance modification on a 4-1 vote, with Bob Benton dissenting.

Hood River County School District Superintendent Dan Goldman says district staff has answered questions it received from the school board on some transportation issues surrounding recommendations to change elementary and middle school boundaries.  Goldman indicated that a presentation to be made to the board at its Wednesday night meeting includes solutions to activity bus issues, which can be done at a minimal cost.  Another big question surrounded bus travel times in the County Club/York Hill Road area off of Barrett.  Current bus times are 35 minutes to Hood River Middle School, and Goldman says modeling shows times to Wy’east were similar.  Goldman did say he will not recommend waiting until 2020-21 to put middle school boundary changes into effect, which the committee that put together the plan had suggested.  Wednesday night’s meeting will be at 6:30 in Hood River Valley High School.

The City of White Salmon is working on a new comprehensive land use plan.  Mayor David Poucher says they have contracted with a firm to help develop it.  Poucher says they decided to do a new plan rather than make revisions to the current one, and bringing it more in line with what is happening today.  He adds White Salmon is changing, but there is a lot of demand to keep the small town nature of the community.  Poucher expects the new plan to be done in about a year.

There will not be many contested races in Klickitat County this fall as the filing period for local offices came to a conclusion.  One contested race will be to succeed White Salmon Mayor David Poucher, who is not seeking re-election.  Current City Councilor Marla Keethler is opposed by Douglas Charters for that office.  Three people filed for position four on the Skyline Hospital District Board:  Bill Hollander, Ricky Knowles, and Karleen Swarztrauber.  Dana Robison-Miller and Brendan Norman are seeking position one on the Trout Lake School Board, Beth Schroder and Kent Apostol are running for position one on the Goldendale School Board, and Craig Stephens, David McNeill, and Bill Clark are candidates for position one on the Dallesport Water District Commission.

There will be pair of contested Stevenson-Carson School District board seats on the ballot this fall in Skamania County.  Andra Mobley and Sandy Vigil are seeking position one, while Dan Fuller and Jeanette Foster are running for position five.  In North Bonneville, Judie Whitcomb and Mike Riley are the candidates for City Council position five.  And Mary Repar and Gary Collins are running for position one on the Home Valley Water District Commission.

Washington and Oregon fishery managers will host a public meeting in The Dalles on Wednesday to discuss sturgeon fishing regulations upstream of Bonneville Dam.  Among the topics of discussion are possible rule changes meant to improve conservation efforts and increase the abundance and survival of mature spawning-size sturgeon.  Those include extending the dates of all sturgeon spawning sanctuaries in the Columbia River from Bonneville Dam to Priest Rapids Dam through August 31.  Most are currently in effect from May 1 through July 31.  Also to be discussed is extending the area of the spawning sanctuaries on the Columbia River below McNary and Priest Rapids dams.  The meeting will be from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife screen shop on 3561 Klindt Drive in The Dalles.

The Columbia Gorge Express will launch its expanded summer schedule on June 15.  It will expand for the summer to eight departures a day from the Gateway Transit Center to Rooster Rock State Park and Multnomah Falls, and three of those trips will continue east to Cascade Locks and Hood River.  The service started in 2016 and operated for its first two years from May to September and only between the Gateway Transit Center and Multnomah Falls.  Last year, the service expanded to seven days a week and added stops in Cascade Locks and Hood River.  Riders this summer will benefit from a more convenient bus stop location in Cascade Locks and new amenities at the Hood River bus stop, including landscaping, signage, and artwork.  Service will scale back in late September for the slower fall and winter months.
