MAYOR'S MESSAGE Being Prepared Starts at Home September is National Preparedness Month, and here on the Oregon Coast, being prepared for an emergency is something we should all take seriously. We are fortunate to live in a beautiful part of the world, but we also know that earthquakes, tsunamis, winter storms, flooding, wildfires, and power outages are all part of the risks that come with living here. At our September 15 City Council meeting, City Council unanimously proclaimed September as National Preparedness Month in Coos Bay. This year’s national theme is “Americans Stand Ready,” and I think that is a good reminder that preparedness really does begin with each of us. It is easy to put emergency planning on the list of things we will get to someday. The reality is that a little preparation now can make a big difference when something unexpected happens. That might mean making sure your family knows where to meet after an emergency, knowing your evacuation route, keeping some extra food and water on hand, or thinking about what your pets may need. Oregon’s Be 2 Weeks Ready program encourages all of us to work toward having enough supplies to take care of ourselves and our families for two weeks following a major disaster. You do not have to do everything at once. Add a few extra items to your supplies when you go to the store, talk with your family about what you would do during an emergency, and take some time to learn about the resources available in our community. A great place to do that will be Coos County Prepares, a community preparedness and safety fair on Saturday, September 26, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Pony Village Mall. This is a good opportunity to learn more about emergency preparedness and the steps you can take to make your household more resilient. Our first responders will always be there when we need them, but during a large-scale emergency their resources may be stretched throughout our community. The more prepared each of us can be, the better able they will be to help those who need them most. I hope you will take a little time this month to think about how prepared you and your family are. A few simple steps today can make all the difference tomorrow. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay

COOS BAY ESTUARY MANAGEMENT PLAN (SBEMP) PHASE II UPDATE Learn How to Get Involved in Land Use Planning for Our Community What are CBEMP, the Phase II Update and Citizen Advisroy Committee? • CBEMP is a State of Oregon mandated land use plan for what development can occur along Coos Bay and its estuaries. The Plan requires extensive public input to achieve an optimal combination of environmental quality for the Bay and economic health for its surrounding communities. For a quick guide to Oregon land use planning see Planning 101. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6171b544d98dde62bfdbcf28/t/6a281edc72e8ea01f03bb730/1781014236951/CBEMP+Planning+101_V1_6.9.26.pdf • The Phase II Update gets down to the nitty gritty: updating data, revising maps, and specifying land use policies, implementation measures and more. Phase II is the final stage before the CBEMP is reviewed and formally adopted by our city and county governments. • The CBEMP Citizen Advisory Committee provides many opportunities to become informed about and provide input into the Plan. There also is a technical advisory committee to provide up-to-date data and maps. The steering committee coordinates with local governments. All committees are open to public input. Public Information, Engagement and Input Six public events will be scheduled including four online webinars and two in-person meetings See the links for more information and input opportunities All CBEMP information can be found at the CBEMP Phase II Hub: https://sea-shoresolutions.com/cbemp See CBEMP 101 for a detailed description of the Plan, its history and updates: https://sea-shoresolutions.com/cbemp/101 Go to the Calendar for CBEMP events, meetings, and records: https://sea-shoresolutions.com/cbemp/events The CBEMP Resource Library contains foundational documents, data and mapping, and all advisory committee info: https://sea-shoresolutions.com/cbemp#library Direct your questions and input to the Community Member page: https://sea-shoresolutions.com/cbemp/community Be informed and get involved.

MAYOR'S MESSAGE Big Fun at the Bay A Weekend to Celebrate Coos Bay One of the great traditions in our community returns this weekend with the Bay Area Fun Festival on Saturday and Sunday, September 19 and 20. This year’s parade theme is “Big Fun at the Bay!” and there will be plenty happening throughout downtown Coos Bay over the course of the weekend. Saturday will feature the vendor market along Central Avenue, the 44th Annual Prefontaine Memorial Run beginning at 10 a.m., and the Bay Area Fun Festival Parade at 1 p.m. Later that evening, hundreds of classic cars will take to the streets for Cruz the Coos, another longtime favorite. The fun continues Sunday with vendors downtown and the Pre Run for Kids at the Marshfield High School track. The Bay Area Fun Festival is one of those weekends that really brings our community together. You see families lining the streets for the parade, runners from near and far participating in the Prefontaine Memorial Run, downtown filled with people, and plenty of familiar faces along the way. An event like this also takes a lot of people working behind the scenes. I want to thank the Coos Bay Downtown Association, the many volunteers and participating organizations, our local businesses, and City staff who help make the weekend possible. That includes our Police and Fire personnel who help keep everyone safe, as well as our Public Works crews who put in a great deal of work preparing downtown and supporting the many activities taking place throughout the weekend. I also want to thank our residents and downtown businesses for their patience as streets are closed and traffic is rerouted to make room for the festivities. A little inconvenience for a weekend helps make it possible for thousands of people to come together and enjoy our downtown. Whether you are running in the Prefontaine Memorial Run, watching the parade, checking out the classic cars, visiting the vendors, or just spending some time downtown with family and friends, I hope you will come out and enjoy the weekend. Events like the Bay Area Fun Festival are part of what makes Coos Bay a great place to call home. I hope to see you downtown, and I wish everyone a safe and enjoyable Fun Festival weekend! -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay

LUCKY LIBRARY CARD THURSDAY FOR LIBRARY CARD SIGN UP MONTH September is Library Card Sign Up Month and to celebrate we are implementing Lucky Library Card Thursday. Each Thursday in September we will randomly draw 5 library card numbers and post the last six digits of the numbers in the library near the circulation desk. If your library card number is selected, you win a prize from the prize basket! This contest is just for Coos Bay Library Card holders so you must live in either the 97420 or 97407 zip codes to win. Want to get in on the fun but don’t have a library card? Don’t worry, getting a library card is easy. You can sign up in person or online. To sign up at the library all you need is a picture ID with your current mailing address in Coos or Curry County. If your ID doesn’t have your current address, just bring in a piece of mail, a lease, or a utility bill with your name and current address along with your ID and we will be happy to get you signed up! You can also apply for a library card online and we will mail it to you. Just go to our website, hover over “Books and Borrowing” and click “Get a Card” or type https://www.coosbaylibrary.org/get-a-card into your browser. Then fill out the application and submit it and we will take it from there. You can expect to get your library card through the mail in about a week. And don’t forget the kids! Kids love having their own library card and using it to check out their selections of books, games and videos. There is no set age limit for when a child is allowed to get their own card, they just have to be able to write their name so that they can “sign” their application form. They do need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian with picture ID and a local address as that adult will be added to their account as the responsible party. If your child doesn’t have a library card yet, bring them into the library to get one. We love giving out first library cards. So, if you have a library card make sure to stop by on Thursdays to see if you are a winner and if you don’t have one, stop by or go online to get one and then join in on all that the library has to offer!
