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 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 backing up, which creates very large puddles dur- ing 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, how- ever, 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. Driving while suspended was reported in the 1100 block of Highway 101.

Dear Oregon Coast Humane Society Members, Th ank you for your membership. Over the past several months, the Board of Directors has been working to determine the extent of members’ rights in the organization. A group of members brought to the attention of the current Board their concern that members have a right to elect the Board of Directors. In practice, the Board of Directors was not elected by members for many years. Following that practice, the current Board of Directors also was not elected by members, but was appointed by the Board. Th e issue of members’ rights was referred to the Oregon Department of Justice this past fall. In order to analyze the issue, the Department of Justice requested corporate records of Oregon Coast Humane Society. In November, the Board produced over 3,000 pages in response to the request. Aft er review, the Department of Justice determined that the Oregon Coast Humane Society was established as a membership organization. Th erefore, its members have a right to elect the Board of Directors. Th e Department of Justice has requested the Board develop a plan to transition the organization back to membership elections, whereby members will elect the Board of Directors. Th e plan must be approved by the Department of Justice. During this interim time, the Board of Directors will cease holding monthly public meetings. Th e Board informed the Department of its plan and the Department did not object. We will, instead, focus our eff orts on transitioning the organization. Once a plan for membership elections has been approved by the Department of Justice, we will provide that information to you. We hope to have this information to you soon. It continues to be a privilege to serve this organization. We thank you for your patience during this time of transition and for your continued support of our mission to rescue, care for, and fi nd responsible, loving, permanent homes for homeless and at-risk dogs and cats; to advance the goal of a no-kill community; to promote the principal of a lifetime commitment to our pets; and to provide spay-neuter and education programs to the public.
