Road Closure on N 2nd St The Coos Bay-North Bend Water Board will begin construction of a new water main on N 2nd St between N 2nd Ct and Cedar Ave during the week of November 9, 2026. The crew will work between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. The anticipated date of completion is November 20, 2026. N 2nd Street will be closed to through traffic during construction, with detours at the intersection of N 2nd St and Park Ave and at the intersection of N 7th Rd and Date Ave. Local access will be preserved for the two homes within the project area. Residents with special needs, such as doctor appointments or other scheduling needs should inform the Water Board by calling 541-267-3128 ext. 232 or contacting the Water Board crew on site. They will make every effort to meet your needs. Customers within the work area will experience water outages during the project. The outages will happen as the crew connects the new water main to the existing water main and when each water service line is changed from the old water main to the new water main. The duration of each outage will vary. Residents will be notified by door hanger of the timing and estimated duration of each outage prior to the interruption of service. Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions, please contact Matt Whitty at 541-267-3128 ext. 232.Photos from Coos Bay - City Government's post

NEIGHBORS PITCH IN BEFORE THE STORMS Last week, Public Works crews and firefighters from Coos Bay and North Bend teamed up to fill more than 300 sandbags for use during coastal storms and flooding. Having sandbags filled and ready means we can get them where they’re needed sooner. The City of North Bend recently received a sandbag filling machine through the state’s SPIRE program. Using that equipment, crews worked together to build a stockpile for Coos Bay ahead of potential flooding. Thanks to everyone who pitched in and to North Bend for sharing this resource. A little work ahead of a storm can make a big difference when the rain arrives. If you need sandbags during a flooding event, call Coos Bay Fire Department at 541-269-1191.

COMMUNITY NOTICE: COASTAL HIGH TIDES, POTENTIAL FLOODING RISKS, AND FREE SANDBAG PROGRAM Living near sea level in Coos Bay means we are no strangers to the water. We are a resilient coastal community, and a little high water is simply part of life on the Oregon Coast. As we head into this season’s high tides and winter storms, our local weather patterns are getting an extra push from an ocean climate phenomenon known as "Kelvin waves." These waves bring warmer, deeper water across the Pacific, which can temporarily push our normal high tides just a bit higher than usual. Adding to this, our upcoming winter King Tides—the highest seasonal tides of the year—will soon be rolling in. The combination of these massive natural tides, local storms, and Kelvin waves means our neighborhood streets and low-lying areas will likely experience more frequent and higher tidal flooding over the coming weeks. While there is no need for alarm, the City of Coos Bay wants to make sure every resident and business owner has the tools they need to stay dry and prepared. To help protect your property, the city is offering a free sandbag program for local residents: •Pick-Up Location: Fire Station at 450 Elrod Avenue •How to Get Your Sandbags: Bags are completely free, but you must call ahead to make arrangements for your pickup. •Contact Number: Please call 541-269-1191 before heading down to the station so the team can have them ready for you. Let's keep an eye on the tide tables, look out for our neighbors, and take a few quick steps to stay ahead of the weather. For more information or to arrange your sandbag pickup, give the Fire Station at 450 Elrod Avenue a call today. Stay safe, stay dry, and thank you for helping keep Coos Bay prepared!

MAYOR'S MESSAGE Empty Bowls, Full Hearts, and a Generous Community This year’s Empty Bowls Coos County event was another wonderful example of what makes our community so special. I had the pleasure of serving as one of the soup judges, and I can tell you firsthand that the competition was tough! More importantly, the event brought our community together for a great cause, raising a record-breaking $26,000 to support local food banks. The Oregon Coast Culinary Institute once again hosted this annual fundraiser, bringing together talented chefs, local artists, volunteers, and community members who share a commitment to helping our neighbors facing food insecurity. As a judge, I had the opportunity to sample some outstanding soups alongside North Bend Mayor Jessica Engelke, Jim Ring, and Svetlana Maslakova. After some difficult deliberation, we selected Chef Bryan Elam of Ko-Kwel Casino Resort as the Judges’ Choice winner for his delicious Roasted Chicken & Wild Mushroom Soup. Chef Elam received a beautiful handcrafted soup tureen created by local potters Sue Scott and Paige Rawitz. We also recognized the Oregon Coast Culinary Institute with the Judges’ Honorable Mention for Chef Chris Foltz’s Roasted Root Vegetable and Potato Soup. Congratulations to both winners and to all the participating chefs who shared their talents in support of this worthy cause. A special thank-you goes to Chef Randy Torres, Shawn Warren, and the culinary students who volunteered their time to help make the event a success. I also want to recognize the local potters whose handcrafted bowls are such an important part of this fundraiser, along with the organizers, sponsors, and everyone who attended or contributed. For those who missed the event, handcrafted bowls are still available for purchase this Sunday, November 8 from 2 - 4 p.m. at Black Market Gourmet, located at 495 Central Avenue in downtown Coos Bay. It's another opportunity to support the cause while taking home a beautiful piece of local artistry. Events like Empty Bowls remind us that even a simple bowl of soup can make a meaningful difference. Thank you to everyone who helped make this year's event such an incredible success. Your generosity and community spirit continue to make Coos Bay a wonderful place to call home. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay
