WHEREAS, on July 12, 1988 the Columbia River Gorge Commission adopted criteria for selection of an interpretive center in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area; and WHEREAS, the county established an advisory committee on October I, 1987 (Ordinance No. 561) to propose and review potential interpretive center sites within Multnomah County; and WHEREAS, the Interpretive Center Advisory Committee identified fourteen sites for analysis and the United States Forest Service identified the "Ainsworth/Dodson Interchange" site as a potential interpretive center location; and WHEREAS, the Committee reviewed the sites against the Gorge Commission's adopted siting criteria. The Committee offers comments and recommendations on the sites in the attached memorandum to the Gorge Commission (Exhibit A); and WHEREAS, the Committee concluded in its comments to the Gorge Commission that the "Ainsworth/Dodson Interchange" site best meets the interpretive center siting criteria. Committee members restate the importance of gateway-orientation facilities near the primary entrances to the National Scenic Area; an interpretive center at the Ainsworth/Dodson site would not completely serve orientation needs since it lies approximately 16 miles east of the Sandy River. The Ainsworth/Dodson site possesses significant access advantages for an interpretive center with potential river and rail access and convenient connections to both Interstate-84 and the Historic Columbia River Highway. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners endorses the Interpretive Center Advisory Committee comments (Exhibit A) and recommends the "Ainsworth/Dodson Interchange" site as the Multnomah County site which best meets the Interpretive Center siting criteria.

A standing­ room-only crowd heard panels discuss issues and opportunities for economic development and recreation in the Gorge. Representatives from the offices of Governor Kitzhaber, Governor Locke, Senator Ron Wyden, and Senator Patty Murray spoke in support of funding Gorge protection through the Columbia Gorge Commission. Repre­ sentative Marc Boldt from Washington, who has led the attack on the Gorge protection budget, spoke briefly. Representatives Val Ogden from Washington and Chris Beck from Oregon spoke in support of full funding for Gorge protection. More than 20 people testified during public comment. The overwhelming majority of people supported Gorge protection, and several people raised "Those who seek to slash funding for concerns that the Act is not strong the Gorge Commission and reduce its enough.
