Port Marina Drive in Hood River. The first hearing took place October 17.
The proposed increase is included in the fiscal year 2017-18 Adopted Budget and recommended by staff to take effect February 1, 2018. Following a brief presentation by staff, the Port Commission will hear public comment, with each speaker afforded 5 minutes of time at the podium.
The proposed increase has tiered rates, with customers of the Port’s electronic tolling “BreezeBy” system providing a discount from the cash toll rates:
PROPOSED NEW CASH TOLL RATES Class 0 Vehicles (Motorcycles) - $1.00 Class 1 Vehicles (Passenger Vehicles & Pickup Trucks) - $2.00 Class 2 & Above (Large Trucks, RVs, Trailers, , Busses, per axle) - $3.00
PROPOSED NEW BREEZEBY ELECTRONIC TOLL RATES Class 0 Vehicles (Motorcycles) - $0.75 Class 1 Vehicles (Passenger Vehicles & Pickup Trucks) - $1.00 Class 2 & Above (Large Trucks, RVs, Trailers, Busses, per axle) - $2.00
The proposal would increase the base rate for cash paying customers by $1.00 and by 20 cents for BreezeBy customers. A bank account is not required to open a BreezeBy account, and one free transponder is provided per household for each new account. The staff recommendation includes a provision that all new net revenue derived from the increase be dedicated solely to the Port’s Bridge Repair & Replacement Fund. Capital expenditures are expected to increase significantly in the next several years, with the Port’s 30-Year work plan anticipating $51 million in expenditures by 2032.
