SIREN TEST OF THE UPPER PONY CREEK DAM EARLY WARNING SYSTEM On Saturday, June 28, at 10 a.m., a test of the Pony Creek Dam Warning System will take place. The test of area sirens is being conducted by Coos Bay-North Bend Water Board. The purpose of this test is to give the public an opportunity to hear the siren and familiarize themselves with the audible warning should a dam breach occur. Sirens located at the North Bend High School and the Water Board Service Center will be activated at 10 A.M. for one test. The test will consist of a three-minute (15 seconds on – 10 seconds off) siren blast representing a dam failure warning. If you live inside the dam breach evacuation zone and hear the siren at a time that is not a scheduled test, head for higher ground immediately. If you are unsure whether you are in the dam failure inundation zone, please contact the Coos Bay-North Bend Water Board at 541-267-3128. -Ivan Thomas, General Manager - Coos Bay-North Bend Water Board

MAYOR'S MESSAGE Governor Tina Kotek Visits Coos Bay for Key Housing Collaboration Meeting On June 11, 2025, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek visited the Coos Bay area, along with staff support from Jessica LaBerge, one of the Governor’s Regional Solutions Coordinators, assigned to the South Coast and Southern Oregon Regions. Governor Kotek invited a select few community members for a discussion on several topics, including housing production and challenges, workforce programs tied to the trades, and more specifically the efforts underway in Coos County under Executive Order 23-02. Executive Order 23-02 (EO 23-02) provided for funding throughout Oregon to help re-house individuals and families, along with increasing the shelter bed network across the state. Governor Kotek met with Coos Bay City Manager Nichole Rutherford, Coquille Indian Housing Authority Executive Director Anne Cook, and Matt Vorderstrasse, Executive Director of the North Bend City/Coos-Curry Housing Authorities. The group gathered at the Pancake Mill Restaurant and Pie Shoppe for a focused and productive conversation around the effort that has been underway to meet the objectives of EO 23-02. Under this funding, and in partnership with Alternative Youth Activities, 32 youth and family households in this community have been connected to housing, including necessary supportive services intended to stabilize the individuals in long-term housing. This meeting represents the importance of deep and collaborative community connections, especially when Tribal government is included, as through Coquille Indian Housing Authority. Through these connections, Coos County is about to realize eight additional shelter beds to support the youth in our area, operated by Alternative Youth Activities. Another topic of discussion was the Service Providers and Regional Connections (SPARC) Network—a collaborative initiative building momentum across the South Coast. SPARC aims to strengthen coordination and continuity among housing and service providers to better meet community needs. The visit highlighted the importance of cross-jurisdictional collaboration and the critical role local leaders play in driving progress. We appreciate Governor Kotek’s time, thoughtful engagement, and ongoing support for regional solutions. Her visit reinforced the shared commitment to addressing housing instability and improving outcomes for individuals and families across our communities. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay

COOS BAY SKATE PARK REOPENS JUST IN TIME FOR GO SKATEBOARDING DAY We’re excited to announce that the Coos Bay Skate Park is officially back open to the public! Earlier this month, the park was temporarily closed due to vandalism that damaged the perimeter fencing and created unsafe conditions for users. Thanks to the swift action of longtime skate park volunteer Triston Reasor, along with John Cooper, the necessary repairs were completed this week. Triston, who has been a champion of the skate park since its inception, continues to be a vital force in keeping the space safe, functional, and fun for all. With their hard work and dedication, the park is reopening just in time for National Go Skateboarding Day, Saturday, June 21st—a perfect way to celebrate community, creativity, and the spirit of skating. We ask everyone to respect the space, report damage when you see it, and continue to take pride in this incredible community asset. Let’s roll into the weekend with gratitude for our volunteers and excitement for what’s ahead.

CITY COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY PROCLAIMS JUNETEENTH 2025 At its June 17, 2025, meeting, the Coos Bay City Council unanimously approved a proclamation recognizing June 19, 2025, as Juneteenth in the City of Coos Bay. Councilor Troy Cribbins read the proclamation aloud during the meeting, honoring the historical significance of June 19, 1865—the day the last enslaved people in the United States learned of their freedom. Later in the meeting, during the Council Comments agenda item, Councilor Cribbins reflected on the proclamation, stating: "Tonight we made the proclamation for Juneteenth. And this is an amazing country, and it does have a large capacity to heal. And there's still opportunities, so many opportunities, for this country to be successful. When we take a minute to step out and acknowledge a group like that, we're not sending them above or separate from anyone else. We're simply stating that this is a segment of our population that may have felt marginalized. And it's a welcoming sentiment to say there is room at the table for everyone… We are a great country, and we do have room—a seat at the table—for everyone." Mayor Joe Benetti officially signed the proclamation, encouraging all Coos Bay residents to recommit to the ongoing work of equity, equality, and justice in celebration of freedom and unity.
