MAYOR'S MESSAGE As we approach the Christmas holiday and prepare to close out the year, it feels especially fitting to pause and reflect on the many reasons we have to be thankful. The end of the year offers a natural moment to look back with appreciation and to look ahead with optimism for what the coming year may hold. I want to extend my sincere thanks to everyone who lives, works, and contributes to the City of Coos Bay. Time and again, our community demonstrates what it means to come together supporting one another, lending a hand when it is needed, and showing resilience through challenges and celebrations alike. It is this shared spirit of care, cooperation, and pride that defines Coos Bay and makes it such a special place to call home. Earlier this week, several City Councilors had the opportunity to personally thank our City staff for their dedication throughout the year. We stopped by City Hall and other City facilities with homemade treats as a small gesture of appreciation for the more than 130 employees across six departments and multiple locations who work every day to keep our community safe, welcoming, and well-run. It was a simple act, but a heartfelt one. As we move into the holiday season, I hope your days are filled with peace, warmth, and time with loved ones. May the New Year bring fresh possibilities, renewed energy, and continued strength for our community. Thank you for being the people who make Coos Bay such an extraordinary place. Warm holiday wishes and best hopes for the year ahead. With gratitude, -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos BayPhotos from Coos Bay - City Government's post Featured News by City of Coos Bay

12/18/25 - LCSO Case 25-6096 Dexter man arrested for DUI, warrants after fleeing traffic stop near Lowell On December 18th at 5 p.m., a Lane County Sheriff’s deputy contracted to patrol U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lands observed a car parked in front of a gate to a secure area of Lookout Point Dam, east of Lowell. The deputy contacted the driver, Richard Leon Gaffney, 54, of Dexter, and observed he was impaired. Gaffney reversed away from the deputy and sped out of the parking lot, driving toward Lowell on W. Boundary Road. The deputy initiated a traffic stop, but discontinued to allow the vehicle to slow before driving into Lowell and potentially causing a crash or severe injury to bystanders. Driving conditions were also hazardous due to extremely heavy rain and darkness. The deputy was also alone, with his nearest cover officer driving from Creswell. Gaffney instead continued speeding until he crashed into the ditch, just before entering Lowell where other vehicles were on the road. The deputy arrested Gaffney without further incident. During the arrest, two loaded firearms were found concealed in the vehicle. After additional investigation, Gaffney was arrested and lodged at the Lane County Jail for: - DUII – Drugs - Fleeing or Attempt to Elude Police Officer by Vehicle - Reckless Driving - Recklessly Endangering - Driving While Suspended – Misdemeanor - Two counts of Unlawful Possession of a Firearm - Lane County Circuit Court failure to appear warrant for Driving While Suspended - Springfield Municipal failure to appear warrant for DUIIPhotos from Lane County Sheriff's Office's post Featured News by Lane County Sheriff
