Staff described the benefits of the selected platform: template‑based agenda and packet assembly, integrated live streaming and media tools, transcription and “minutes snippets” to speed minute production and enable public access to agenda items via time‑coded video. Staff said the software will reduce packet assembly time and the need for repeated audio review when preparing minutes; the vendor will create initial templates for up to 10 boards and provide training and support.
City staff also explained procurement terms: the first‑year payment will be made from current budget authority and staff will budget the second‑year renewal in the next fiscal cycle. Councilor discussion asked whether optional add‑ons would drive additional costs; staff said the proposal bundles media streaming for the initial term and that options can be reduced or canceled within the vendor’s renewal windows if the city chooses.
Council moved, amended and approved the contract and authorized the city recorder to act as the system’s administrator. Councilors and staff said the software should speed internal workflow and make meeting materials easier for residents to access online.
Staff will begin implementation and training and will coordinate rollout timing with other back‑office projects already underway.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Depoe Bay City Council Regular Meeting_7-15-2025","oneSentenceSummary","Depoe Bay authorized a two‑year contract (not to exceed $14,650) for an agenda and meeting management system to streamline packet production, live streaming and minute generation, with implementation support and training included.","taxTitle","Depoe Bay, Lincoln County, Oregon","taxId",55616,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6163543,"Harbormaster to apply prioritization rules as slip reassignment window opens",180,4800000,4980000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5433922-a065a53b035a9e9fb542d3212558bd42&start=4800&end=4980","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5433922-a065a53b035a9e9fb542d3212558bd42/thumbnail_4800000.jpg","/articles/6163543/Depoe-Bay/Lincoln-County/Oregon/Harbormaster-to-apply-prioritization-rules-as-slip-reassignment-window-opens","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6163543-4a6b6e596484331db59fedbc1b2d4b80/orig.mp4?Expires=1770786605&Signature=dPLs0OXkvymqYq1Hiw5VzhEDIwDS8KD8KR2veJlc5oKKv1iZI3OM~XjF4~tnnu2Lk0x-Ht6A4ev5DuCnjnjCouaezNzNZDGuZDIsXFaZxGdIYBimroy3IBWpHKWz1Zh3fDYVZLdh1ELZ11riP4R6C-c3cu4bNgk89YKyCIzbclUrvbsOrWMbJKKCmKFisUvDoenuu79kx6~Bc1RgjsTlltJk5QSo7RTlhMqAUvDtrCwyyOMLRQAnUdMlBbOSv-RztuFFVotIkmrncG4v3b-D0C3UMKAjafbY9TqT6tOhRtRePyKFCzMsFD5Bd4t72NjqxOCn2WA7GGK86UM9ldla3g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Depoe Bay harbormaster described a slip‑reassignment process that will open for a short window and then close on July 31; after the window closes the harbormaster will review requests, the wait list and available slip sizes and apply prioritization rules to place slip applicants.
Harbormaster Dave (present at the meeting) explained the steps: the office will post notices and email mortgage holders and will accept requests during the application window. When the window closes the harbormaster will match open slips to applicants using criteria he described: vessel size and slip size compatibility, same‑boat owner priority, safety concerns and documented disability (handicap placard) will receive precedence. He said the harbormaster will attempt to pull people from the wait list “to the greatest extent you can,” but also must weigh safety, vessel size and dock configuration when making assignments.
Councilors asked where wait‑list applicants rank relative to mortgage holders already assigned to slips; the harbormaster said disabled applicants have precedence and that where feasible he will use the wait list to fill slots that best match vessel size and safety concerns. He cautioned that opening the window does not guarantee any particular applicant will receive a desired reassignment because slip availability and safety considerations will drive final placement.
The council did not take a formal vote to change policy; the harbormaster described the operational plan for the reassignment window and how he will make assignments under the existing ordinance and priorities.
Council members and harbormaster noted that the harbor’s annual schedule and existing relinquishment procedures inform the timing; harbormaster staff will execute the reassignments and report back to the council.","The Depoe Bay harbormaster outlined the process for reassignment of harbor slips: a short application window, review against the wait list, and prioritization rules that include same‑boat owners, relative proximity and disability/safety needs.",{"_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},6163548,"Council orders immediate right‑of‑way abatement at 35 Cook Avenue after years of complaints",690,3840000,4530000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5433922-a065a53b035a9e9fb542d3212558bd42&start=3840&end=4530","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5433922-a065a53b035a9e9fb542d3212558bd42/thumbnail_3840000.jpg","/articles/6163548/Depoe-Bay/Lincoln-County/Oregon/Council-orders-immediate-rightofway-abatement-at-35-Cook-Avenue-after-years-of-complaints","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6163548-f273985e683eb396fea68aad52e3aac9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770786605&Signature=jPz-pVvg7683ICgpAmjlUl2lMj0xoQuSdc5HNE8FDZ3CvjwwG1YWSFpPG6IlmpUWRGE1Xmamz~vFrakqgaJzlB2Oh2m2VkPowDH1pDdqXpYZkEdl5nDIHdx5cMt8GHso9YMtrW6tnI3s6ZlyHU0uTcf2IhXnv~1Q3l~nbRns~VitfMBarzDPEVdNmgQCe73nhuKt8DvuZdRwoOZnAEQa2u52cr8QUHsoKouf7uoQ59BsRlmOLdkzxSjP2HUi~ulDY3fNL6QjsrmOfCB5HN8eS6MAITdVEKx8iHGvFiqaZ6u3jxDZPpOBw6TccuR3zWdAhZ7aaiOyluUk6QjfrLJw7g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Depoe Bay City Council voted to direct staff to abate the public right‑of‑way at 35 Cook Avenue and to request Lincoln County Sheriff's Office assistance for the abatement action.
City staff presented a summary of enforcement history and cleanup work that has been done at the property. Staff said the property owner has made some progress with cleanup but that right‑of‑way conditions remain. The staff report described approximately 45 cubic yards (an estimated 225 kitchen‑tall trash can equivalents) removed to date and identified remaining bulky items and potential personal effects staff has left in place at the owner’s request.
Staff briefed council on three options: immediate abatement (issue a final notice and hire a contractor with a 10‑day notice), delay abatement to August 31 (extend compliance deadline), or pursue a broader property abatement and nuisance declaration requiring a public hearing. The staff presentation flagged safety concerns and the need for a sheriff’s deputy to be present because of past threats associated with the property.
Samuel Bates, a neighbor, testified during public comment that the issue has persisted for years and said repeated deadline extensions and continued dumping have left neighbors frustrated.
Councilor Kelsey LaSalle moved “let me direct staff to immediately do the abatement to 35 Cook Avenue and seek assistance of Lincoln County Sheriff's Office on the date of the event.” A second was offered. Council voted in favor and the motion passed.
Staff said the city will hire a contractor if needed, will attempt to bill the property owner for abatement costs and, if unpaid, place a lien on the property; staff warned the city may incur legal and contractor costs and will require sheriff presence during abatement. Staff also cautioned that city public‑works crews would not perform the contractor abatement for safety and liability reasons and that the city must expect additional legal and administrative costs to pursue enforcement and recoupment.
The council decision orders the immediate abatement of the right‑of‑way at 35 Cook Avenue; any subsequent enforcement or lien process will follow the city’s established collection and legal‑assessment procedures.","Facing long‑running neighborhood complaints, the Depoe Bay City Council directed staff to abate debris in the Cook Avenue right‑of‑way at 35 Cook Avenue and to seek Lincoln County Sheriff's assistance during the contractor action.",{"_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},6163553,"North Lincoln Sanitary proposes 6% rate increase and outlines Recycling Modernization Act impacts",30,2160000,2190000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5433922-a065a53b035a9e9fb542d3212558bd42&start=2160&end=2190","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5433922-a065a53b035a9e9fb542d3212558bd42/thumbnail_2160000.jpg","/articles/6163553/Depoe-Bay/Lincoln-County/Oregon/North-Lincoln-Sanitary-proposes-6-rate-increase-and-outlines-Recycling-Modernization-Act-impacts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6163553-666dcaf88faecb9a2cfc2077b4344514/orig.mp4?Expires=1770786605&Signature=lMuZ28r2cHJDFVzezLrIjWyQIlJJ-9P~eLaVkHetg7vl7ZEd4o8O10DDV66tb2p4lnzOv82hdTkf7V~wXU4XZ9dbHLpb7tucS5trskQRC~38~T3yc~gAAgN5-o5BQQ56AU-GwM2~0YXveBJuAa-u-1Yd12~1AIH1rR3JmKbbqR9RRRxpoG8hLrejWDXoDpiQLH6oFMWW5~-HyrxMfM4ElStS0KPDwt~05c9g6Smhyl52DxHlKKjMKseNa6gB-Xj-e-medjj2oH642h5Kv3tMhAkrkVMcJetTA0H36yyIU4uo0Wc5SOVE-Ru6vCcsqo-tXLb-2e4HcIeskX-zCS2qJQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","North Lincoln Sanitary representatives told the Depoe Bay City Council they are proposing a 6% increase to customer rates and warned state-level recycling rules and possible new commercial compost requirements could raise costs for all customers.
The company’s representative, Tina French of North Lincoln Sanitary, told the council, “we're proposing a 6% increase.” She said the increase would leave Depoe Bay’s operating ratio above the ordinance’s target range but that the utility’s very small service population makes the ratio sensitive to modest changes in revenue.
French said the typical residential 32‑gallon cart price would move from $37.83 a month to $40.10 a month. She also described the commercial picture: “your average commercial customer is a yard and a half dumpster weekly, and that'll go from $1.36 70 to $1.44 90 a month,” as stated in the presentation packet.
The presentation explained the Recycling Modernization Act (RMA) will require producers to contribute funds to a producer responsibility organization; those funds will be distributed to local governments to support recycling. French described three areas where the RMA could affect Depoe Bay: per‑capita contamination reduction funding (roughly $3 per capita in initial modeling), a $77‑per‑ton glass incentive, and negotiated transport payments for mileage beyond 50 miles for jurisdictions that travel farther to processing facilities.
French and colleague Lexi Hall also discussed composting: commercial compost service is more expensive than residential collection and, under anticipated state requirements (House Bill 3018 was cited during the presentation as an example of pending legislation), some restaurants and food sellers could be required to be offered compost service. French warned that commercial compost collection currently carries higher contamination and disposal costs and that those costs typically push up the overall disposal portion of rates.
The company also addressed several operational topics: rising parts and labor costs, an added full‑time equivalent position to maintain route coverage, recent relief for landfill capacity after Coffin Butte (Coffin Butte Landfill) received additional permitting, and the firm’s efforts to reduce incorrectly billed cell phone lines. The presentation listed pilot and outreach efforts — including commercial compost pilots and public education about what can go in mixed compost — and announced a household hazardous waste drop‑off scheduled for July 6 (the vendor’s announcement in the meeting materials listed a July date for the event).
Council later approved a resolution updating local solid‑waste fees (Resolution 510‑25) as part of routine fee adoption; the council vote was recorded in the meeting minutes.
If the council adopts final rates after any public hearing or required notice, customers should expect the utility to implement the change in the next billing cycle and see materials from North Lincoln Sanitary explaining the Recycling Modernization Act changes, expanded recyclable items, and compost messaging.","North Lincoln Sanitary presented its annual rate review to the Depoe Bay City Council, proposing a 6% residential rate increase and describing how the Recycling Modernization Act, potential state policy changes and commercial compost requirements could affect local rates and services.","actionData","errors"]
