Roxy Cooler asks for written input on port strategic plan covering Yachats River

The Chair opened the public-comment period by relaying remarks from Roxy Cooler, described in the meeting as a retired port manager now working on a strategic plan for the port. "She asked for written public comments by March 6," the Chair said, noting the port authority extends to the county line and that prior discussions have included a kayak/canoe launch.

Cooler asked residents to submit ideas for how the port could provide services to the city and emphasized that property taxpayers in the area should have input on long-term port decisions. The Chair said the port strategic plan affects areas up to the county line and referenced the Yahtz River in the transcript; members of the public who want to contribute were told how to submit comments before the March 6 deadline.
