Police staff have contacted the individuals about the rule changes to the Time, Place, and Manner ordinance. We are working with the newly formed Unsheltered Advisory Committee (UAC) to get the word out and to help people comply. Council will need to decide about entering into an MOU with Neighbor to Neighbor (N2N) to mitigate the impacts of unsheltered camping by installing a screening fence, a portable restroom, and a handwashing station. A specific recommendation from the UAC has been provided in this packet for consideration. I have spoken to multiple lawyers on this front and can expand on this in the meeting. New Rates and Fees Staff is working hard to update all forms, the website, and the Tyler system to reflect Council decisions from June. As I mentioned before, the $12 Public Safety Fee will be removed from your August and subsequent bills. The water you used in June is reflected on your July bill… thus the fee still applied to the last bill. New rates and fees took effect July 1, 2026. Port Orford Jubilee We were so excited to be asked to be in the parade this year. I want to especially thank Ryan Sibley for getting the new-to-us Vactor truck cleaned and ready to shine for Independence Day. It was wonderful to see so many people enjoy the beautiful day in Port Orford! “Be Water-Wise, Rain or Shine” The Port Orford Watershed Council has great shirts for sale with this logo on the arm. Please only water food-bearing plants and trees in the summer. Our water levels drop in our watershed and we need extra water for fire mitigation and citizen use. Summer Projects DREDGING: I want to remind people that we are working on launching the dredging project this summer (funding FINALLY came through- hooray). While the dredging is happening, we will be using water from Garrison Lake, one of Port Orford’s traditional water source. The water will be pre-treated by a “package plant” rented from Veollia. We hope dredging the reservoir will help us keep our filters cleaner in the Water Treatment Plant. The actual dredging will be done by the bid winner Billeter Marine of Coos Bay. We are in the process of getting the contracts processed by all the entities now. CULVERT REMOVAL We are working with Erin Minster with the Curry Soil and Water Conservation District. Uppercut Tree Service won the bid and, like above, we are working through the procurement process and contract writing. 13 AMERICAN LEGION HALL: The committee has been meeting to prepare the bid. Key players have included HGE Architect staff, Mayor Ann, John Johnston, and Bob Feusi. Next steps include finalizing the bid documents and planning the pre-bid walkthrough for potential contractors. Once again, this work is funded through grants and donations raised by the Fundraising Committee! OCCMA Conference I attended this conference and have met many other City Managers dealing with similar issues across Oregon. These include failing infrastructure, unhoused residents, union negotiations, legal challenges, and livability. Thank you for this opportunity to learn and network! 7(b) Mayor’s Report As mayor, I was proud to see the Port Orford community shining bright during the recent July 4 Jubilee, celebrating the 250th anniversary of our nation’s declaration of independence. I want to recognize and commend all the extraordinary volunteers that made the Jubilee such a success this year. While the events take place in a relatively short time, I know that it’s taken months of diligent efforts behind the scenes. Foremost, the Jubilee Committee did an excellent job of managing the parade and so many events. A big thanks to Marlene Hoffman, Katie King, and Priscilla Lang for heading it up. Our Port Orford Rural Fire District pyrotechnics volunteers also did a fabulous job with the fireworks; I learned that they all had to get special training and certification—so again a lot of extra behind the scenes effort: a big thanks to Assistant Chief Wyatt Ells, Mark Walters, Craig Rosenaur, and Bob Hergert, as well as Barbara Knapp from Sixes RFD. Many businesses and local organizations also contributed to the festivities with wonderful parade floats, special events (pancake breakfast, jerry can races, pet contest, and more!), visitor center, staffing, and crucial clean ups before and after. A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the celebration so special. And finally a big congratulations to the two honorees —Jubilee Queen Bonnie Smith and Parade Grand Marshall Tobe Porter —fine women who have contributed to Port Orford in so many ways through the years. The City of Port Orford participated in the parade this year with our new (used) Vactor truck— decorated with flags, Uncle Sam, and all manner of red, white and blue stars and stripes. Thanks to Melissa for rallying our July 4th spirit and to Ryan and son Ricky, and city councilors who helped with decorating and marching in the parade. Thanks also to our police department for clearing the parade route and managing traffic so that our community to enjoy the long standing tradition parade. As mayor, I have been mostly keeping focused on moving our grant funded projects forward. It’s hard to believe how many small steps are involved with every state and federal grant —but following these many details are the key to moving forward. The big news is that we finally received approval from Business Oregon for a full funding package for our reservoir dredging project. You may recall, we received a loan/grant for this project last year, but bids came in too high, so we had to re-bid the project this year and then request an amendment to cover the higher costs. In addition, we also had to provide proof that we could pay off the loan portion of funding package, which required first catching up on our audits. All of which is to say, there was a lot of 14 effort to ensure all the bases were covered and then a fair amount of “friendly pestering” to get the outcome we needed. And now we’re aiming to advance the implementation steps to ensure we can complete this important project for our city’s drinking water supply. I’ve also continued to work with architects, engineers, contractors, and staff to move forward on other grant-funded projects including the culvert removal, the American Legion Hall renovation, planning for Water Recycling, and planning to address the need for filtration upgrade at the Water Treatment Plan. We’ve continued to work with the Community Center Friends on planning and fundraising efforts for the American Legion Hall project, which is due to go out to bid soon. As we shift into the second half of the calendar year, and the first part of the fiscal year, I look forward to our finance committee reconvening to review good ideas brought up by the City Budget Committee. I appreciate all the good efforts being made by our other city committees, too. 7(c) Finance: Leif Kytola provided the following highlights of the current budget status.  The FY25 audit for year end 06/30/2025 has been concluded  The personnel costs for FY25 have been moved back to the individual funds instead of being all lumped into the general fund  Currently working on the FY26 year-end close and will evaluate the operating surplus/deficit for each fund after this has been completed 7(d) Public Works: Water numbers sold for June 2026 Raw into plant was 6,189,000 Gallons., Plant off 0 days with 1 partial day run Treated water produced 4,483,000 Water Sold 2,200,196 Back-washes 230,000 leaks 15,000 -Plant Water Use 445,720 WATER = LOSS EST. 42 %.

The Committee agreed on the name “Unsheltered Advisory Committee, UAC”. -It created a Mission Statement: The Unsheltered Advisory Committee, UAC, will advise the Port Orford City Council on practical, humane, and legal ways to manage unsheltered camping in the community. The committee will gather information, identify concerns from the neighbors, Rays Market, service providers, and unsheltered residents, and recommend steps to reduce public health, safety, sanitation, environmental, and neighborhood impacts while recognizing the city’s limited resources. -As per Mayor Ann, the role of the Port Orford Advisory Committee, UAC will be to provide recommendations on policy matters that come before the City Council or on adjustments needed to existing policy, especially with regards to the 16th Street ROW. -In discussing the 16th Street Right of Way, (16th st ROW) the Committee unanimously agreed: 1. That the time, place and manner that the City Council adopted at the June 2026 City Council meeting for the designated camp at the 16th st ROW needed to be implemented consistently unless the City Council changes the ordinance for the BEST interests of our Community and those seeking to camp there. 2. That the City allows N2N to raise funds through grants to: a. Build several screening fences so that the designated camp is not seen by those walking by nor seen by the customers at Rays Market. UAC felt that this was a very important thing to do and felt that there would be no liability to the city. b. If there are campers who camp at the 16th st ROW abiding by the time, place and manner ordinance, that the City Council allows N2N raise funds for a porta potty and locked dumpster to maintain the camp and provide basic needs at the designated camp. 3. The UAC will seek other possible designated camp sites in the Community and bring their findings to the City Council. With “CONSIDERABLE” feedback from Rays Market management, market customers, Community members and neighbors to the 16th st ROW, it was determined that finding a different site was in the majority of our Community’s and the camper’s best interest and the UAC will be making this its top priority. The UAC will be working on having a representative from ADAPT and one of our City Police Officers attend our meetings to broaden the perspective of its work. - Submitted by Gary Burns 17 8 Old Business 8(a) Ordinance 26-12: Marijuana Facility Ban Update Memo At the June 2026 City Council meeting, the City Council discussed the possibility of modifying the existing municipal marijuana regulations in town as described below.

To help reduce impacts of camping by unsheltered residents at the 16th St Right of Way, the UAC recommends the following: 1. Having N2N install a screening fence (~6 ft tall) on the east side of the 16 th St right-of- way, and 2. Ordering a locked dumpster from CTR to be placed at a location away from the 16 th St ROW, preferably adjacent to another city dumpster, where N2N can put trash that volunteers collect from unsheltered camps in the city. Both projects are to be fully funded and managed by N2N. The Council needs to approve direction on these recommended actions.
