Mayor works
hard for city and
its residents
I am writing to the citizens
of Warrenton because many
people are unaware of the
amount of time and energy
our mayor, Henry Balensifer,
devotes to his way-underpaid
job as mayor.
When our “Coffee with the
Mayor” was able to take place
at 9 a.m. Mondays, anyone
who wanted could appear
February 26, 2021
“Cannon Beach and Clat-
sop County are home to me,”
she said. “I look forward to
supporting public health and
working with community
partners to ensure a smooth
transition while continuing an
effective response to the pan-
demic.”
The county plans to launch
a search for a permanent re-
placement for McNickle short-
ly. The Public Health Depart-
ment has a staff of 25 and an
annual budget of $4.1 million.
It provides a range of services
including maternal and child
health, immunizations, repro-
ductive health, communicable
disease response and environ-
mental health.
The department has led the
local COVID-19 pandemic
response with case investi-
gations, contact tracing and
testing, and is working in
partnership with Columbia
Memorial Hospital and Prov-
idence Seaside Hospital on
vaccine distribution.
Letter to the editor
and discuss issues with him. I
took the time to look for oth-
er cities that might have such
a continual citizen informa-
tion event and found none.
When CV19 first appeared,
with Henry’s leadership War-
renton quickly responded to
protect our senior citizens
against that threat.
Henry has also done sev-
eral well-received Facebook
podcasts providing accurate
information during the CV19
battle.
There really is quite a long
list, which I will skip here, of
the accomplishments War-
renton has benefited from
under Henry’s leadership.
I believe our mayor works
hard and has done more for
our citizens than any other
mayor in the state, regardless
of size.
I am hoping that people will
reach out and thank Henry
for the things he has done for
this community. Somebody
saying “thanks” can really
make a difference.

Friends of both men who
died have set up separate Go-
