COOS BAY CITY COUNCIL RECOGNIZES ARBOR DAY AND NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK At its meeting on April 21, 2026, the Coos Bay City Council unanimously passed two resolutions recognizing Arbor Day and National Volunteer Week, highlighting the community’s commitment to environmental stewardship and civic engagement. The Arbor Day proclamation was read by Council President Lucinda DiNovo, while the National Volunteer Week proclamation was presented by Councilor Troy Cribbins. Coos Bay has a long-standing tradition of environmental leadership and has been recognized as a Tree City USA for 30 years, reflecting the City’s ongoing dedication to urban forestry and the many benefits trees provide—ranging from improved air quality and reduced energy costs to enhanced beauty and economic vitality. The National Volunteer Week proclamation recognizes April 19–25, 2026, as a time to celebrate the individuals who generously give their time and talents to strengthen the community. This year’s observance is especially meaningful as it aligns with the nationwide “America Gives” initiative, encouraging volunteer service in honor of the United States’ upcoming 250th anniversary. Mayor Joe Benetti shared his appreciation for the community’s volunteers, stating: “I just want to mention and thank all the 170 volunteers mentioned in the proclamation—170. Without these volunteers, we could not operate this city in the fashion we do. So, it's greatly appreciated. We also have groups and organizations on top of that that volunteer and help do many things throughout the city. Again, without their help and assistance, we wouldn't be able to have the city and be proud of what we have. So, I am honored and proud to have the volunteers that we have, so I wanted to thank you personally.” From advisory boards and local programs to emergency services and community initiatives, volunteers play an essential role in maintaining the quality of life in Coos Bay. Their dedication continues to strengthen the fabric of the community and inspire others to get involved. Residents are encouraged to celebrate both observances by planting trees, supporting local environmental efforts, and finding ways to volunteer in honor of this milestone year for the nation.

MAYOR'S MESSAGE 2026 City Wide Cleanup Day Success Last Saturday, April 18, 2026, was the annual City Wide Cleanup Day.

For this 2026 event, several organizations participated to make it successful: Oregon Bay Area Beautification (OBAB), Les’ Sanitary Service/ Waste Connections, Coos Bay Sanitary Service, City of Coos Bay, City of North Bend, and South Coast Food Share, including Charleston Food Pantry, Coos Food Cupboard, North Bend Presbyterian Food Bank, and the Salvation Army.

Several collection sites were established throughout the Coos Bay and North Bend communities, where residents could drop off up to four cans (35 gallon sized) of garbage. Donations were encouraged, with either providing up to four shelf-stable food items or a small cash amount. South Coast Food Share can buy three meals, or almost four pounds of food, for every dollar donated. 2026 Collection Totals: -343 Pounds of Food -$309 in Cash Donations -6.71 Tons of Garbage Collected Between the pounds of food and cash donations South Coast Food Share will be able to provide 1190.85 meals for our community.

CBPD Announces 2026 Patrol Priorities: Focused on Safety, Visibility, and Community Well-Being The Coos Bay Police Department (CBPD) is proud to announce its 2026 patrol prioritize and share with the community how the department approaches public safety and patrol operations. Each year, CBPD conducts a review of the previous year’s successes and challenges, setting goals and priorities based on our mission, crime trends, and community needs. Following this annual review, the Patrol Unit established four key priorities for 2026 aimed at improving community safety, reducing recurring problems, increasing officer visibility, and maintaining a fair, lawful, and balanced approach to policing. While these efforts are already in progress, the department has formalized these priorities to provide clearer guidance for officers and greater transparency for the public. These priorities were developed by patrol supervisors and command staff using local call trends, community feedback, and proven best practices. The overall focus is on preventing repeat problems, keeping public spaces safe and accessible, and helping the community better understand how patrol resources are used. 1. Preventing Repeat Crime Through Problem Solving CBPD Officers will focus on addressing crime and nuisance activity, particularly property crime and drug-related offenses that create repeat calls for service. Emphasis will be placed on thorough investigations, strong documentation, and coordination between patrol officers and detectives to prevent issues from continuing or escalating. Why it matters: Addressing repeat problems reduces victimization, improves accountability, and allows officers to spend more time proactively serving the community. 2. Quality-of-Life Issues Addressed with City Partners and Community Resources Community concerns related to visible disorder, such as trash accumulation, unsafe conditions in parks, and blocked public access, remain a top concern for residents and businesses. Officers will address these issues lawfully and consistently while working closely with the City’s Parks and Public Works Departments, as well as available community and outreach resources. When situations involve homelessness, mental health, or substance use, officers will prioritize safety, compliance, and connections to services whenever possible. Why it matters: Clean, safe, and accessible public spaces benefit everyone and help reduce long-term conflict when addressed early and collaboratively. 3. High-Visibility Traffic Safety and Data-Guided Patrols Traffic crashes continue to cause serious injuries locally and nationwide. CBPD will focus traffic enforcement on behaviors most likely to cause harm, including impaired driving, excessive speed, distracted driving, and reckless behavior. Crash and call-for-service data will guide patrol locations and enforcement times. Officers are encouraged to explain the reason for enforcement during traffic and community contacts. CBPD remains committed to education as the primary approach for most traffic violations. Why it matters: Purposeful traffic enforcement saves lives and reinforces that police activity is focused on safety, not just enforcement. 4. Visibility, Foot Patrols, and Clear Communication Community feedback consistently shows that residents value seeing officers present in neighborhoods, parks, and business districts. Patrol officers will conduct regular foot patrols and visibility checks in shared public spaces. The department will also provide periodic public updates highlighting safety improvements, recoveries, and community partnerships, with an emphasis on outcomes rather than raw enforcement numbers. Why it matters: Officer visibility and clear communication help build trust and increase confidence in public safety services. Ongoing Review and Transparency CBPD will regularly review trends such as repeat calls for service, traffic crash data, and patrol activity to ensure these efforts remain effective and aligned with community expectations. Public safety is most effective when police activity is focused, fair, and clearly explained.
