North Bend City Council Approves FY2027 Budget Amidst Fiscal Stability Concerns
The City Council held a public hearing and approved Resolution 3382, adopting the fiscal year 2027 budget of $44,567,616. Public comment raised concerns about the budget's financial stability, particularly a critically low operating contingency of $150,000 (0.3% of the total budget). Critics argued this budget represents a 'financial high-wire act' and a 'gamble' due to insufficient emergency buffers, shifted administrative costs to the urban renewal agency, and ignoring deferred maintenance and park master plan needs. The finance director presented minor changes to the Main Street Events Fund and introduced a new 'functional services budget' for better transparency. The council also approved Resolution 3383, electing to receive unrestricted state revenue sharing funds for fiscal year 2027.
North Bend City Council Hears Public Concerns on Flock Camera System, Emphasizes Transparency
The City Council discussed the implementation and community concerns surrounding Flock cameras. Public comment highlighted the need for transparency and community oversight, with suggestions to adopt the ACLU's Community Control Over Police Surveillance (CCOPS) model. Concerns were raised about data privacy, potential misuse of information, and the need for clearer policies beyond state legislation like SB 1516. The discussion also touched on the effectiveness and transparency of the Flock system itself, with requests for evidence of data deletion and audit completion.
North Bend URA Approves FY2027 Budget, Addresses Blighted Property Rehabilitation

The executive director reported on the challenging rehabilitation of the former Salon Bella property, which had significant structural issues including a back wall in jeopardy of collapsing. The URA is addressing this blighted property, which was not commercially viable for private investors. The report also mentioned potential development interest from five restaurants and a potential buyer for the North 40 and coffee shop properties.
