Building Safety Month May has officially been proclaimed Building Safety Month in Coos Bay. This year’s theme, “Built to Last,” recognizes the important work of building officials, fire prevention staff, engineers, architects, contractors, and others who help ensure our homes, businesses, and public buildings are safe and resilient. The proclamation also serves as a reminder of how modern building codes and strong infrastructure help protect our community every day — especially during emergencies and natural disasters.

The proclamation recognizes the work of the Coos Bay Fire Department and local and state partners who help educate the public on wildfire prevention and preparedness. Residents are encouraged to create defensible space around their homes, safely manage yard debris, and make evacuation plans to help reduce wildfire risk and keep neighborhoods safe.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM WASTE CONNECTIONS REGARDING HOLIDAY SERVICE Starting May 25, 2026, Waste Connections of Oregon will no longer provide regular service on major holidays. In the past, we have worked through all holidays; however, we believe it is important to give our front-line team members time off to spend with their families. We appreciate your understanding as we make this adjustment and are happy to answer any questions you may have. New Holiday Schedule • New Year’s Day • Memorial Day • 4th of July • Labor Day • Thanksgiving • Christmas When your regular service day falls on one of the holidays listed above, your collection will move to the following day. For example, if your pickup is scheduled for Monday, May 25, 2026 (Memorial Day), your waste will be collected on Tuesday. This one-day delay will continue throughout the week, with Friday customers receiving service on Saturday. If a holiday falls on a weekend, there will be no change to the schedule that week. We have updated our calendars on our website and mobile app and plan to send an email notification regarding these changes. We will also use call blasts, text messaging, and social media announcements to help spread the word. We hope the cities and county can assist with outreach and help determine the most effective ways to do so. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we implement this new schedule. Our goal is to minimize disruption while supporting our employees’ well-being. If you have any questions or need assistance, please reach out to your local office.

MAYOR'S MESSAGE Inspiring the Next Generation Through the "If I Were Mayor..." Contest One of the most rewarding parts of serving as Mayor is seeing the creativity, thoughtfulness, and civic spirit of our young people. At the May 5, 2026 City Council meeting, the City of Coos Bay had the pleasure of recognizing students who participated in the Oregon Mayors Association’s annual “If I Were Mayor…” contest. This year marked Coos Bay’s first participation in the program in many years, and I could not have been more impressed by the ideas and enthusiasm shown by the students who entered. The contest encourages young people to think about local government, leadership, and the future of their community by answering one simple but important question: “If I were mayor…” The students submitted thoughtful essays that reflected creativity, civic understanding, and a genuine desire to make Coos Bay an even better place to live. Their ideas reminded all of us on the Council why community involvement matters and why it is so important to encourage future leaders. During the May 5 meeting, City Manager Nichole Rutherford and I had the honor of presenting certificates and prizes to the students in front of the City Council and community members. The students recognized included: 1. Faith England – 1st Place 2. Mirra Cantrell – 2nd Place 3. Elias El Youssef – 3rd Place 4. Lucy Seedborg – Honorable Mention The City was also grateful for the support of NW Natural, whose $500 donation helped provide prizes and recognition for the participating students. I shared with the students during the meeting that they are the future of our city, and I truly believe that. It was inspiring to hear their ideas and see their willingness to step forward and engage in their community at such a young age. Civic participation starts with conversations like these, and I hope this experience encourages them to stay involved for years to come. I also want to extend a special thank you to teacher Sydney Zeeryp, whose leadership class participated in the contest and helped make this opportunity possible. Community partnerships between educators, students, local organizations, and city government are invaluable. Congratulations again to all of the students who participated. Coos Bay has a bright future ahead. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay
