Recently, the City of North Bend recognized some of their employees for their years of service.  Excerpts from the recognition before the City Council:  Mayor Jessica Engelke and the North Bend City Council and on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, recognized City Administrator David A. Milliron for five years of service, praising his work ethic, strategic leadership, and commitment to community partnerships across the South Oregon Coast.  Mayor Engelke recalled first meeting Milliron during his interview process, commending “a leader who does his homework, shows up, and serves well beyond city limits,” citing frequent volunteerism throughout Coos County. Councilors highlighted Milliron’s emphasis on teamwork, early and transparent communication, and a “find-a-way” approach to solving complex challenges.  Also, North Bend Chief of Police Cal Mitts recognized Sergeant Jake Holt for ten years of service with the North Bend Police Department, praising Holt as “a very critical piece of the police department” whose leadership has strengthened officer training and day-to-day operations.  Chief Mitts highlighted Holt’s role as the department’s Training Sergeant, where he oversees the Field Training Program for new recruits before and after they attend the academy. He also credited Holt with coordinating patrol scheduling, serving as a field trainer himself, and earning steady respect from community members, fellow officers, and supervisors alike.  Reserve Officer Magill has earned Step 3 Solo Status with the North Bend Police Department, a milestone that reflects extensive training and service to the community.  Magill completed the Reserve Officer Training Academy, maintained proficiency in firearms qualifications, defensive tactics and use-of-force standards, and surpassed required patrol hours and community event participation.  “This accomplishment shows real dedication to the craft and to the people of North Bend,” North Bend Police Chief Cal Mitts said. “Reserve Officer Magill put in the hours, passed every standard and demonstrated the judgment we expect from anyone who wears our badge.”  With Step 3 status, Magill is advancing toward Step 4, which includes operating a marked patrol vehicle in a solo capacity and serving as a backup to full-time officers during calls for service.
