Councilors and staff discussed how interest earnings would be treated, especially whether interest on transferred funds should be dedicated back to specific funds such as parks or remain in the general fund. Staff explained that one pool (parks) is currently dedicated to parks while other accounts remain in the general fund because previous transfers did not specify allocations; staff said auditors could help determine appropriate allocations for historical transfers.

Councilors asked about quarterly reports tied to investments; staff clarified that quarterly investment reporting would occur only if the city places funds into investable instruments. No specific interest-rate distributions were set in the policy language under discussion; staff said they would consult auditors and bring recommendations later.

Council members agreed applications will be reviewed at a mid‑June meeting.

City Recorder Kim clarified the charter requires filling the seat through appointment to the next biennial election rather than by a special election. Council discussion settled on reviewing applications at the council meeting set for June 17; staff said the application window and public notice procedures would follow the city’s normal posting practices (website, post office flyer and newspaper notice as usual).

Council members discussed timing and agreed the position would be filled for the remainder of the term until the next regularly scheduled election, consistent with the charter language. Staff will publicize the opening and accept applications through the advertised deadline ahead of the June 17 review; councilors did not vote formally on a different appointment method during the meeting.","Following a resignation, the Depoe Bay City Council authorized staff to publicize an opening, accept applications and review candidates at a mid‑June meeting consistent with the city charter's timing rules.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6163583,"Emergency-preparedness committee proposes workshops, urges CERT training for council",181,445000,626000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5433860-7971eb1ca684b9151c27e6dc3ba075ae&start=445&end=626","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5433860-7971eb1ca684b9151c27e6dc3ba075ae/thumbnail_445000.jpg","/articles/6163583/Depoe-Bay/Lincoln-County/Oregon/Emergency-preparedness-committee-proposes-workshops-urges-CERT-training-for-council","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6163583-b29ca078cdfb05f52173ecb425af4320/orig.mp4?Expires=1774816384&Signature=lf0ZwrZa0WKwaWq9cxoSmJnehTpHWcLet6O4Rl3xstsKUcEAugbgQ~YZKjWrzOJydPyVajlAiUY41YTi3gO62vB8qyGXth5mqDQZhDvUOyOAvWzWnpzohRRuNI4Ba~8svZ4EVQWr7PEOW6DxohNmhWdzIB0bZZ-jjv3fu-gUSUd3XcfP0S0AO7macPlE-wo-szLVpQKFb0TBsPx6BjXqLsCjpThk7YozgKvkKMhK5qNAHp9pHhFqdW3mRUzYiUXmqJ5i6Q9myQF-4dNkZiann9wXAa3H-kLr259AEvdSGhrhfOOQo1fxeTNz1RB0CnWuu5LCF6KUvCQ7V-L3lzRfCg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Depoe Bay Emergency Preparedness Committee told the City Council it plans a public workshop this fall to teach residents how to build emergency “go” bags, how to shut off gas and electricity, and how to reduce fire risk on private property.

Joyce, speaking for the committee, said many residents lack basic supplies and that a prequalification for an emergency barrel includes six months of supplies. Committee members proposed inviting utility and fire officials to demonstrate gas shutoff and yard-fire-hardening techniques and suggested selling preassembled “to-go” kits as an option.

The committee also described an in-person CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) training sequence that includes hands-on exercises; Joyce reported the final practical drill will be on May 31 at the fire station parking lot with staged casualties and triage practice. She recommended at least one council member take the CERT class and said the committee’s next meeting is scheduled for June 16.

The council welcomed the proposal and staff and committee members agreed to coordinate scheduling and outreach. No formal budget action was taken during the meeting to fund workshops or kits; the committee indicated it would seek volunteer subject-matter experts and possibly grants for equipment.","The Depoe Bay emergency-preparedness committee proposed a public workshop on assembling 'go' bags and household preparedness, noted broken sirens and the need for gas/electric shutoff demonstrations, and recommended council members take CERT training.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6163588,"Depoe Bay says raccoon-trapping assistance stopped; city to send enforcement letter over feeding",90,149000,239000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5433860-7971eb1ca684b9151c27e6dc3ba075ae&start=149&end=239","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5433860-7971eb1ca684b9151c27e6dc3ba075ae/thumbnail_149000.jpg","/articles/6163588/Depoe-Bay/Lincoln-County/Oregon/Depoe-Bay-says-raccoon-trapping-assistance-stopped-city-to-send-enforcement-letter-over-feeding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6163588-dd274083339a4cbb484411b557038a1a/orig.mp4?Expires=1774816384&Signature=hCfD7L91YvZVbbHLBF780ACSPIDs26qekwEQHy~i5VBVbexjao6u-KGvqG4A1kGx5XizPYFtuLNjZnZpQYFERv6iDJIXsghRGTK1hTWcog4BNftqDoYVY60jpgfMSKFFTIh5cwljq2r-tUbTqw6W1WZG1YXaVRrIkm5iqz7ffVUqfZcEb4jMF2JdXSPeDgxg28fqu6kiGXS~jMLpZhFk1JaggAu9inUt0w30RdeTb1~f6VmVlTJpjdfNSROUZh0B5OwzicVlMjfjbXDedtjUaRkK03wyzX7swCZu4TAlH4ycV5zQH9tV0FkaK-VOYaANSSvmyUisJsQgWaohXtrmCA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff told the Depoe Bay City Council the informal raccoon-trapping assistance provided to neighbors on Cook Avenue has stopped and that future raccoon issues will be the homeowner’s responsibility unless an enforceable complaint is filed.

A councilor asked why the city was not enforcing a feeding ordinance; staff explained that the animal-feeding violation requires either an observed incident or a filed complaint with photographic evidence. Staff said they received photographs last week and will send a letter to the homeowner this week.

Councilors were told the trapping effort had been a short-term, good-faith attempt to help neighbors, but staff concluded that the homeowner’s continued feeding was undermining the effort. The council did not vote on any ordinance change; the action recorded in the meeting was the staff decision to cease city-run trapping assistance and to issue a letter to the property owner.

Questions about recovering trapping costs were raised during the discussion; staff described the effort as a good-faith attempt to help neighbors and did not confirm any plan to recoup expenses from the homeowner.","City staff told council the informal raccoon-trapping effort at a Cook Avenue residence has ended and that enforcement of a feeding ordinance will proceed if residents file witness complaints; staff will send a notification letter to the homeowner.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6163592,"Depoe Bay council directs review of fuel-dock costs, schedules workshop with harbor commission",2878,937000,3815000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5433860-7971eb1ca684b9151c27e6dc3ba075ae&start=937&end=3815","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5433860-7971eb1ca684b9151c27e6dc3ba075ae/thumbnail_937000.jpg","/articles/6163592/Depoe-Bay/Lincoln-County/Oregon/Depoe-Bay-council-directs-review-of-fuel-dock-costs-schedules-workshop-with-harbor-commission","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6163592-1ffe70b7bba4fd62d047ec5c7681d4f7/orig.mp4?Expires=1774816384&Signature=JG2L1h1Tgmh-N-pnB7c12rq9OLao8Uy~mw72hAhGT4VwRn~9pHanxs5lTfddqzwVpZCXDulvJFHJncY0uBaU4s5lKxaaUOKkm3tgKHJjgC3UVgcPspI8OLrhROuKHVexqHcaS03b~WuD4uP9AuGLp8pU9qXuFn2oYZ68nxmUB7NA047KHsjbFbBcjZEddytgRUkX0KlatcHpuSBcPp-RgUaTr2a~ZqvcLFgbLn-ySxSeLeQMXeyQ0kVQBzHC8wONN5wozkwjVUEa3mhLyHNB1XPY5Ki9Z3Ev6yOBBDfjaTmG~Kd7mTShIDkck27NGtU-go7hXQ-qAuw85DmlsIGmAg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Depoe Bay City Council on May 20 directed staff to gather detailed, data-driven cost information on the city fuel dock and scheduled a joint workshop with the Harbor Commission to examine fueling and other revenue options for the harbor.

Council members said the review is meant to clarify how fueling operations affect harbor revenue and overhead as the city seeks to close an operating shortfall of about $100,000 for harbor operations. The council agreed to hold a workshop involving the Harbor Commission on June 11 at 5 p.m. and to invite stakeholders to the Harbor Commission meetings in May and June to gather input before the work session.

The directive followed public comment from residents and harbor users who said the fuel dock is essential to the working harbor. “That dock is a lifeline, not a convenience,” resident Shulei Wisniewski told the council, saying harbor-dependent businesses could lose trips or absorb higher costs if fueling access is restricted. Cindy Chico, another speaker, urged the council to consider a mediator or facilitated process to resolve disagreements between the city and harbor users.

Council discussion referenced a written cost analysis that was read into the record attributing calculations to Chris Shaffner showing annual gallons pumped (reported in the analysis as 54,840.7 gallons for fiscal year 23–24) and various labor- and transaction-time assumptions. Council members said they want the city’s finance and harbor staff to verify those figures and present actual operating costs, including labor, equipment maintenance and transaction time, at a future public meeting.

Harbor staff and councilors also noted constraints outside city control: dredging the harbor depends on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, with the earliest possible dredge date referenced as 2026, and certain in-water repairs require state permits. Councilors and staff agreed the commission should hold open meetings for stakeholders to provide input on fueling and broader revenue-generation ideas before the joint workshop.

The council did not adopt a final policy change on fueling during the meeting; members directed staff to prepare the cost review and to coordinate the Harbor Commission’s stakeholder meetings and the June 11 workshop. No formal ordinance or fee change was adopted at the May 20 session.

Looking forward, council members asked staff to present verified operating-cost numbers and to lay out possible revenue options at the scheduled workshop so the council can make an informed decision by following meetings.","After public outcry from harbor operators, the Depoe Bay City Council asked staff and the harbor commission for a data-driven review of fuel-dock operations and scheduled a joint workshop to discuss revenue and fueling options.","actionData","errors"]
