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
C i t y ’s P u b l i c Wo r k s
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
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.

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.
Sincerely,
Oregon Coast Humane Society Board of Directors
