MAYOR'S MESSAGE Reset Your Clocks, Reset Your Goals This weekend brings the return of Daylight-Saving Time, a small seasonal shift that reminds us spring is just around the corner. It’s also the time of year many of us remember a couple of simple household tasks: check your smoke detectors and make sure your clocks are set ahead. It’s a routine we follow every year, but it can also serve as a reminder of something a little bigger — reset your clocks, reset your goals. As the days grow longer and signs of spring begin to appear around Coos Bay, it’s a natural moment to pause and think about the months ahead. Along the Oregon coast, we know winter well, but spring brings a welcome change as the steady rain slowly begins to give way to brighter days and blue skies. With that shift comes a renewed sense of energy in our community. You start to see it everywhere — more people out walking, neighbors working in their yards, and families enjoying our waterfront, parks, and neighborhoods. After the darker months of winter, our city begins to feel a little more alive again. Spring is also a good time to think about what you’d like to accomplish in the months ahead. Whether it’s spending more time outdoors, starting a new project, volunteering in the community, or simply taking a little extra time to appreciate the beauty of the place we call home, this season offers a fresh start. We’re fortunate to live in a place as beautiful as Coos Bay, where the changing seasons are something we can truly see and feel. The months ahead hold a lot of promise for our community, and I look forward to continuing to work together to make our city an even better place to live, work, and enjoy. As we head into the weekend, take a few minutes to check your smoke detectors, set your clocks ahead, and enjoy the longer days ahead. And while you’re at it, think about the goals you might want to reset or renew this spring. Here’s to a safe, hopeful, and welcoming start to the spring season in Coos Bay. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay

A FLUSH OF EXCITEMENT AT MINGUS PARK One of Coos Bay’s most beloved parks has received a meaningful upgrade that will benefit families, caregivers, and visitors for years to come. After years of relying on portable facilities, new permanent restrooms have been completed at Mingus Park. Thoughtfully located near the playground for convenient access, the restrooms will officially open to the public this Friday. While restrooms may not be the most glamorous park feature, they are essential. This long-awaited addition is family-friendly, fully ADA accessible, and designed to better serve the many people who spend time enjoying the park’s playgrounds, walking paths, and open spaces. The project represents a significant collaborative effort, with City staff playing a central role in bringing it to life. Public Works crews completed all design and construction site grading for the new facility and installed the electrical conduits, sewer lines, and sewer lift station. Their expertise and hands-on work were instrumental in making this improvement possible. In addition to the new restrooms, several related upgrades have enhanced the surrounding area. Drainage improvements have been installed to reduce ponding in the playground area—making soggy patches after rainy Oregon days a thing of the past. Fresh mulching material has also been placed throughout the playground to create a cleaner, safer, and more welcoming play space for children of all ages. These improvements reflect an ongoing commitment to maintaining parks that are safe, functional, and enjoyable for everyone. Parks are where birthday parties are celebrated, friendships are formed, imaginations run wild, and neighbors connect. Investing in foundational amenities like restrooms, drainage, and playground surfacing helps ensure that the community can continue making memories for years to come. The project was made possible through the generous support of grant partners, including Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, Judith Ann Mogan Foundation, The Reser Family Foundation, Pacific Power Foundation, First Interstate Bank, and the Bay Area Sportsman Association. Community patience during construction and continued support of public spaces have also played an important role in bringing the project to completion. The next time you visit Mingus Park, take a moment to appreciate the upgrades—especially the new restrooms. Sometimes the most practical improvements make the biggest impact.Photos from Coos Bay - City Government's post

PRESS RELEASE The City of Coos Bay is aware of recent public concern regarding the potential development of an ICE detention facility in Coos County. Our inquiry has indicated that there is no current intention of locating such a facility in our County. The City of Coos Bay has done a comprehensive review of potential impacts, and we have concluded that a federal detention facility is not compatible with the Coos Bay area due to the following reasons: Public safety and municipal service infrastructure, including police, fire, emergency medical response, and code enforcement is at capacity, and is in place to serve the current residential and commercial population. A detention facility would impose significant additional burdens on these systems, diverting resources away from community needs, and creating operational risks and unfunded service demands. Given that tourism is a foundational economic engine for Coos Bay and the surrounding region, these impacts pose a direct threat to economic vitality. Any detention facility near tourism corridors can create measurable declines in visitor confidence and commercial activity. A detention facility in or near Coos Bay would undermine the City’s tourism-based economy by: diminishing the area’s reputation as a safe and welcoming coastal destination; reduce visitor traffic to waterfront attractions, lodging, and small businesses; create congestion, restricted-access zones, and security-related closures that interfere with recreation and tourism mobility, and discourage private investment in hospitality, retail, and outdoor-recreation sectors. The regional airport plays a critical role in supporting local commerce, passenger travel, forestry, fisheries, and emergency medical transport, and any federal detention facility in this vicinity could disrupt airport operations, create heightened security restrictions, and impede economic development efforts tied to air travel and regional connectivity. For these reasons, the City of Coos Bay finds that a federal detention facility is incompatible with local infrastructure capacity, economic development priorities, tourism, and community-defined strategic goals. As such, and as the largest city on the Oregon Coast, the City of Coos Bay opposes construction or operation of any federal detention facility within the City, or within the immediate proximity to the city, including within the whole of Coos County. The City remains firmly committed to supporting development that advances long-term prosperity, safety, and livability for all residents and visitors.
