2025...A YEAR OF POSSIBILITIES As we step into a fresh chapter with the start of 2025, I am filled with hope, pride, and optimism for our community. Over the past year, we’ve celebrated milestones like Coos Bay’s 150th birthday, honored our heritage, and taken bold steps toward building a brighter future. Without the help of the many organizations and individuals in Coos Bay, this work would not be possible. Recently, we shared an update to the Council Goals and acknowledged the many organizations that the City partners with. As is often the case, the possibility of missing an acknowledgement always exists and regrettably two such organizations were not included: Coos Bay School District (CBSD) and Community Coalition of Empire (CCE). CCE has been a significant driver of several opportunities in Empire, partnering with the City on the Empire mural and adding an informed voice to the development of the Empire Blueprint are examples of just two projects. CBSD is currently partnering with the City on a Safe Routes to School project, similar to an effort that was undertaken several years ago in the Eastside area. Additionally, CBSD and the City will be holding some community meetings at schools in Empire, Eastside, and downtown. The intent of these meetings is to share information related to emergency response and preparedness, following the December 5, 2024, Tsunami warning and evacuation. Stay tuned for more information on these meetings including dates and times. This year, we will continue to invest in what makes Coos Bay special: our people, our natural beauty, and our thriving local economy. From revitalizing downtown to expanding opportunities for local businesses and creating spaces where families can connect and thrive, we are committed to making Coos Bay a place we’re all proud to call home. We know challenges may arise, but Coos Bay has always faced them with strength and ingenuity. As we move forward, let’s remember the power of unity, compassion, and the small acts of kindness that make our city shine. I want to thank each and every one of you—our residents, community leaders, and volunteers—who make Coos Bay extraordinary. Your hard work and dedication inspire me every day, and I am honored to serve as your Mayor. Here’s to a year of opportunity, growth, and connection. Together, let’s make 2025 one of best yet. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay

IN REMEMBRANCE OF PRESIDENT CARTER Flags at all City of Coos Bay properties will be at half-staff through sunset on January 28, 2025, in remembrance of President Jimmy Carter. This follows orders from Governor Tina Kotek (https://apps.oregon.gov/oregon-newsroom/OR/GOV/Posts/Post/governor-kotek-orders-flags-lowered-to-half-staff-in-remembrance-of-president-jimmy-carter) pursuant to a Presidential Proclamation as a mark of respect for the former leader. James Earl Carter, Jr., the thirty-ninth President of the United States, passed away on December 29, 2024. Commonly known by the name Jimmy Carter, his remarkable career in public service began in 1943 as a cadet at the United States Naval Academy. He served in both the Atlantic and Pacific fleets before becoming a decorated lieutenant. He shifted from active duty to the Navy Reserve and returned home to Plains, Georgia, to help manage his family’s peanut farm. He worked hard stewarding the land while leading his community as a church deacon, Sunday school teacher, and board member of a hospital and library. His deep faith inspired a passion for public service that led him to be elected State Senator, Georgia’s 76th Governor, and ultimately President of the United States. Following his Presidency, President Carter advanced an agenda that elevated the least among us. Guided by an unwavering belief in the power of human goodness and the God‑given dignity of every human being, he worked tirelessly around the globe to broker peace; eradicate disease; house the homeless; and protect human rights, freedom, and democracy.

Siren Test of the Upper Pony Creek Dam Early Warning System On Saturday, January 4th, 2025 at 10:00 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
