From a Watchdog in Coos Bay
Subject: Letter to the Editor
Ltr to Ed
Coos Bay Sewage Plant Upgrade options: General obligation bonds, property tax increases. Revenue bonds, higher sewer fees.
The nuts and bolts of the deal. Currently cannot raise taxes in the City without an election to do so. Such as for the Fire department. City of Coos Bay-Bond 10/06/01.
Sewer fees have and are currently being raised, but much higher fees wanted.
Council can raise fees, until citizens bleed. Not popular. Can only raise property taxes if you agree in a vote. The caveat, if the council can present a City Charter change to the voters, and they vote yes, could give the council freedom and undue authority to obligate citizens, implement taxes, look out, not popular.
Other popular solutions. 1, Community Enhancement Plan, CEF. the Moines going to the South Coast Community Foundation, SCCF, first is spent on all the sewer plant upgrades in Coos County. This money is a yearly payment by Jordon Cove, LNG in Lieu of taxes to the county over the next 20 years.
The other one quarter, of the total amount, going to theBayfront Investment Corp, also be used for sewer plant upgrades in the County. Plenty of upgrade money.
Solution 2, Dismantle the Coos Bay Urban Renewal districts one (I) and two (2). Pay the bonds off, close and de-fund any operations or departments paid for from Urban Renewal funds.
From that closure there will be tax money for sewer plant upgrades, and other Citizen essential services.
