2 A SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 2018 Western Oregon Tribal Fairness Act signed into law B Y M ARK B RENNAN Siuslaw News On Monday, Jan. 8, President Donald Trump signed into law The Western Oregon Tribal Fairness Act. The legislation was written by District Four Rep. Peter DeFazio, and cosponsored by all members of the Oregon delegation in Washington, D.C. The legislation, HR 1306, provides for conveyance of land and, more importantly, control of that land, to three of Oregon’s federally recognized tribes. The Western Oregon Tribal Fairness Act will place 17,519 acres of federal land, currently managed by the Bureau of Land Management, into trust for the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians and 14,742 acres of federal land into trust for the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians. It will also amend the Coquille Restoration Act to require the Interior Department to manage the Coquille Indian Tribes’ forest- lands in the same way as other tribal forestlands. “For years, these tribes have been unable to govern them- selves as the sovereign nations that they are,” said DeFazio. “While there is still much work to be done to correct our nation’s injustices towards Native Americans, the passage of the Western Oregon Tribal Fairness Act is an encouraging move towards progress. This is a tremendous accomplishment for the Cow Creek Tribes, Coquille Tribes, and Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw.” Dunes City announces meeting to discuss streets The Dunes City Council has scheduled a Town Hall Meeting to discuss streets and roadways to be held Tuesday, Feb. 13, at 6 p.m., at Dunes City Hall, 82877 Spruce St. in Dunes City’s historic Westlake area. “The City Council would like to hear from Dunes City residents about their concerns with the roadways in Dunes City,” said Councilor Duke Wells. “We’re looking for some feedback so we can set some goals for getting the work done.” Richard Palmer, Dunes City’s Public Works Maintenance Supervisor, con- curred. “There’s a lot of work to do and very little money to go around. We need to set some priorities and hope the citizens will come forward to help identify what those priorities should be,” he said. Dunes City does not impose property taxes on its residents, so the city relies solely on Oregon State transportation apportionments to keep its streets in good condition. Historically, that amount has been a little over $50,000 a year. Thanks to legislation spear-headed by State Rep. Caddy McKeown, that amount will be a bit higher in the com- ing years, but, according to City Administrator Jamie Mills, the amount will only allow for one or two projects a year. The last road repair job that PASS q PORT ART FLORENCE | OREGON was done for the city cost over $60,000 and only involved a small portion of one street. In addition to the condition of the pavement, drainage is of great concern. Drains in numerous areas of the city are clogged with debris and back- ing up, which creates very large puddles during high or extended rain fall events. In the last year, the city has focused its efforts on cleaning and repairing drains in areas susceptible to standing water. Some of those drains, howev- er, are just catch basins that either need to be expanded or attached to newly installed drainage piping — all of which costs big money. Dunes City residents are encouraged to attend this open discussion with their city council members. IMPOUNDMENT OBITUARIES DUREE—Eleanor “Ellie” Ruth DuRee passed away Tuesday Nov. 14, 2017.
