Port of Astoria Budget Committee Meeting Minutes
The Budget Committee meeting focused on the review and formal approval of the Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The discussion included an update on the Byproduct Recovery Center, clarifying its status as a project in the funding and advocacy phase rather than one funded directly by the Port. Concerns were raised regarding project delays linked to mitigation issues and the denial of a conditional use application by the City of Warrenton. Additionally, the committee voted to approve the tax rate of $0.1256 per $1,000 for the upcoming fiscal year.
