MAYOR'S MESSAGE There’s nothing like strolling through the Farmers Market on a nice Wednesday in Downtown Coos Bay meeting local farmers, picking up fresh fruits and veggies, shopping for local art, and enjoying the sights, smells, and tastes of our community. Every basket of produce supports local families and brings us closer to the people who grow our food. In 2000 the Coos Bay Downtown Association (CBDA) Farmers Market started and has grown to be the largest Farmers Market on the Southern Oregon Coast. The Wednesday market is the hub of our coastal communities May through October. This week is National Farmers Market Week, and we are proud to celebrate the CBDA Farmers Market. The annual celebration of National Farmers Market Week highlights the important role farmers markets play in supporting local farmers, connecting communities with fresh, healthy food and strengthening local economies. I encourage everyone to experience the Wednesday CBDA Farmers Market. Don’t be shy to talk to the farmers, I have found that they love to share their knowledge and passion of growing food. Look for a new food you have never tried before, let children pick out their favorites and enjoy all the extras like freshly cut flowers, fresh baked bread/desserts, handmade goods and music. Each and every purchase supports small farms and local businesses, keeping our community vibrant and sustainable. Hope to see you there next Wednesday! -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay

COOS BAY FIRE & RESCUE HOLDS BADGE PINNING CEREMONY FOR NEW OFFICERS On July 24, 2025, Coos Bay Fire & Rescue conducted a formal badge pinning ceremony to welcome new members of the department. The ceremony took place at Fire Station 1 and was attended by family members, fellow firefighters, and City staff. The badge pinning ceremony is a long-standing fire service tradition that marks a significant milestone in a firefighter’s career. It symbolizes trust, responsibility, and the expectations that come with wearing the badge. This month, we were proud to officially welcome the following individuals: Justin Ferren joined Coos Bay Fire & Rescue as a Battalion Chief. Justin previously served as the Fire Chief for the City of Coquille and brings strong leadership and operational experience to the role. Ashton Galloway and Everett Suarez were hired as Firefighter Engineers. In this role, they are responsible for operating and maintaining apparatus, mentoring newer firefighters, and ensuring safe and effective operations on scene. Both come to the department with solid experience and skill. The badge ceremony followed the successful completion of an intensive multi-week fire academy, where all three honed their knowledge of department procedures, trained in hands-on skills, and built strong working relationships with the team. Please join us in welcoming Battalion Chief Ferren, Engineer Galloway, and Engineer Suarez to Coos Bay Fire & Rescue. We’re proud to have them on board.Photos from Coos Bay - City Government's post

MAYOR'S MESSAGE As many of you know, for the last two years the City has been underway with an upgrade to the wastewater treatment plant located at 680 Ivy Avenue. This type of construction project, while necessary and important, can impact the neighbors due to noise, dust, road closures, and detours. You may have also noticed that Koos Bay Boulevard between North Sixth and Seventh Streets have been closed, and flaggers or detours have been in place since February. This closure and detour are allowing the contractor to install the outfall piping that will serve the new plant upgrades. Sometimes with underground construction, unexpected delays can occur, which is what is happening now and causing this street to be impacted. The good news is there is an end in sight. The detour will be removed at the end of August or early September and Koos Bay Boulevard will be reopened. There will be one more planned activity that will close Koos Bay Boulevard, scheduled for October and will last two weeks. There will be a detour in place and all of the local businesses will have their access maintained and accessible. The overall plant upgrade project is scheduled to be completed early 2026. I would like to take a moment and acknowledge my appreciation to the neighbors and local businesses for continuing to work with the City through this construction process along with a special thank you to Dave’s Pizza, Airgas Welding and Safety Supplies, and Valkyrie Fitness. In partnering together, we will see the successful completion of this upgrade project and have a wastewater treatment plant that protects the water quality in our Bay for years to come. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay
