MYSTERY AT MINGUS PARK CABIN The Adopt A Park Pilot Program purchased new signs to go over the doors that are not exits in the Mingus Park Community Building-Historic WPA Scout Cabin. This is part of the on-going safety and stabilization work that was started in 2023. As park host, Mike McLarrin, and volunteer, CoCo Sutton, were carefully removing the old paper signs, they discovered this fun leather piece that was put on the log wall sometime in the past behind one of the old signs. The leather features the phrase “If you can find it…we have it”’ flanked by a round logo and the letter “M”. If you have any ideas about what this could be, please share with [email protected]. Meanwhile, the new signs are posted, and the little leather tag is staying in place above one of the “Not an Exit” doors!

CITY CLEAN UP DAY RETURNS FOR 2025 It’s a great time for spring cleaning, as the 14th City Clean Up Day is scheduled for Saturday, April 19 from 10am to 3pm. Residents of Coos Bay and North Bend can donate at least 4 items of food or $4 for the South Coast Food Share and then drop off up to 4 cans (35 gallon size) of household garbage. Recyclables are welcome, but no tires, appliances, furniture, metal, or hazardous materials will be accepted. Garbage drop-off is limited to residents of Coos Bay and North Bend. Drop-off locations are: S. 4th Street Parking Lot (between Anderson & Curtis, Coos Bay), Eastside Fire Station (365 D Street, Coos Bay), Empire Parking Lot (S. Wall & Newmark, Coos Bay), and Pony Village Mall (by Mini Pet Mart, North Bend). Please email [email protected] with questions or to volunteer. Cash donations will be accepted in addition to canned food. South Coast Food Share can buy three meals, or almost four pounds of food, for every dollar donated, so giving cash makes donations even more effective. For food donations, the most-needed foods are protein, especially non-meat protein and tuna, and ready-to-eat canned meals such as soup, stew and chili. This event is a partnership with Oregon Bay Area Beautification (OBAB), South Coast Food Share, Les’ Sanitary Service, Coos Bay Sanitary, the City of Coos Bay, and the City of North Bend. This event was last held in 2019; the 2020 event was postponed due to Covid and never re-started, but now it's time to bring it back.When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it, or it's been deleted.

CITY COUNCIL PROCLAIMS NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK At the April 1, 2025, meeting, the Coos Bay City Council passed a proclamation recognizing April 6–12 as National Library Week, with this year’s theme, “Drawn to the Library.” The proclamation was presented by Sami Pierson, Library Director, who highlighted the Coos Bay Public Library’s role as a vibrant community hub. Pierson shared examples of the Library’s wide-ranging programming, including a walking club, “book and hike” events that combine literature and exploration of local trails, and engaging offerings for all ages such as computer classes, cooking demonstrations, and even no-cook snack-making workshops. She also mentioned the Library’s creative outreach activities like Zumba sessions, emphasizing the importance of connection and community. “People really enjoy being able to go out and explore the local area as a group,” she noted, “especially those who are unfamiliar with the trails or are just seeking company.” The Council was also reminded of the Library’s remarkable engagement, with over 11,000 visits recorded in the past month alone, underscoring its value as a cornerstone of learning, wellness, and inclusion in Coos Bay.

MAYOR'S MESSAGE During the April 1, 2025, City Council meeting, the week of April 13–19, 2025, was officially proclaimed as National Telecommunicators Week in Coos Bay. This annual observance honors the critical role that Public Safety Telecommunicators play in safeguarding our community. These professionals are the calm voices on the other end of the line during our most urgent moments—serving as the first, and often most vital, contact for those in crisis. This year’s proclamation holds added significance as it coincides with a historic achievement in public safety for Coos County: the successful consolidation of the county’s two 9-1-1 dispatch centers into the newly expanded North Coos 911 Dispatch Center, operated by the City of Coos Bay. This project represents a major milestone in intergovernmental collaboration and emergency service efficiency. After decades of discussion and unrealized efforts, the community came together to overcome budgetary, staffing, and logistical hurdles. In August 2024, overnight dispatch services for Coos County transitioned to Coos Bay. By November first, all Coos County dispatch employees had officially joined the North Coos 911 team. This transition was completed smoothly and effectively, improving response times, resource allocation, and continuity of emergency services across the region. The consolidation now supports dispatch for nine law enforcement and fifteen fire agencies. The scope of this achievement is reflected in the numbers. In 2024 alone: 108,163 calls were handled through North Coos 911, with the anticipation that calls will increase to 200,000 in 2025. 35,773 calls for service were responded to by the Coos Bay Police Department, And 20 certified dispatchers—working under our first-ever Communications Administrator, Tessa Cupp—continue to serve as the backbone of public safety operations. With a remodeled and expanded dispatch center, upgraded technology, and a dedicated team, North Coos 911 sets a high standard for operational excellence. It’s no surprise that this initiative has been nominated for the 2025 Award for Excellence by the League of Oregon Cities. As we celebrate National Telecommunicators Week, let’s take a moment to thank the voices behind the calls—those who work tirelessly, 24/7, to keep our community safe. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay
