Letter to Editor---SCCF Should pay for Coos Bay Sewer Upgrades

4/28/2014

From a Lady Watchdog in Coos Bay:

Ltr to Editor
Coos County Commissioners, Coos Bay City Councilors think outside the box. Your actions, voting away citizens rights, to their share of the LNG Community Services Fees, by joining South Coast Community Foundation, (SCCF) will increase their cost of living.

While Coos Bay holds public meeting on Sewer upgrades, other meetings, the Council will be voting to join, or not, (SCCF). Why can’t LNG Community Service Fee be used to upgrade, not only Coos Bay, but other County sewer plants, currently not in the plan. Fees, 25 million a year, $500 million dollars in 20 years. Coos bay only needs $81 million for it’s 20 year construction master plan. A drop in the bucket.

If you can’t flush the toilet, you can’t educate the kids, right.

Coos Bay City Officials have raised the flag, blowing the whistle, EMERGENCY, 2 new sewer plant upgrades and street paving, paid for by the citizens in new taxes or sewer fees.

They see their options only limited to the citizens taking out their wallets. NO, wait they want to hear from us, meetings to be held in May, 2014.

But, really the plan is for us to do it to ourselves by voting for a City Charter change, allowing the officials to borrow the money, raise taxes, because now we have to vote to raise taxes, increasing cost for everyone in the community.

Believe me, if that does not work, fee increases will be used, as they are now.

The City Officials, and supporters, like the fee increases, they don’t have to ask anyone.

The Mayor estimates, sewer fee options, $55 a month single household 2014 to $85 in 2020, just 6 years going forward, of the 20 years. There are only two options or a combination of the two on the table now.
