Gills addressed the board and thanked colleagues and staff. \"None of us does this work in a vacuum,\" he said, noting the program’s growth since he began and saying he will retire but intends to help the department during the transition.

Road operations staff said the culvert failed as a result of the March 2025 storm and will likely fail again during winter if not replaced. \"If we don't replace this now, it is gonna fail this winter,\" the presenter said, noting the work is considered in‑water work and must be completed before September 15 to meet permitting and seasonal restrictions.

The county noted it intends to pursue FEMA reimbursement for roughly 75% of the cost but requested board authorization to proceed immediately to avoid winter damage.

For Purdue Pharma LP, the board voted to authorize county legal staff to sign a participation form for the direct settlement and to authorize Napoli Shkolnik to vote in favor of the bankruptcy plan that governs future distributions to states, local governments and other creditors. The motion passed by voice vote; commissioners said they had reviewed details in an earlier executive session.

Separately, the board also approved a combined participation form to accept settlements with eight secondary opioid manufacturers that produced generic opioid products. The county’s motion to participate was approved by voice vote.

The board did not disclose settlement dollar amounts during the public session; staff indicated details had been discussed in executive session.

Longene told the board the bureau is projecting just over $1 million in transient lodging tax (TLT) revenue for fiscal 2026 before a 5% rainy-day set-aside. She said the bureau retains a restricted carryover balance and anticipates final fiscal‑25 receipts from Coos Bay and Coos County in October when audits close. \"Once that rainy day fund has hit $200,000, we will stop putting money into it unless we have to use it,\" she said.

The bureau outlined recent marketing successes and initiatives. Longene said countywide visitor spending in 2023 was about $335 million, with roughly $147.3 million of that in the Coos Bay–North Bend–Charleston area; the bureau uses a University of Massachusetts methodology and estimates it influences about 15% of that local spending. She described a return-on-investment calculation the bureau uses and said advertising produced roughly $26 returned for every $1 the bureau spent in the year cited.

Longene highlighted Whiskey Run, a mountain‑biking trail system, saying the bureau has helped promote the trail and expects an October visit by a prominent mountain‑bike influencer and a group ride tied to a book signing. \"We are very proud of this trail system,\" she said, and noted the VCB has spent about $150,000–$200,000 promoting it. She also described campaign work to extend visitor stays (\"unpack once, explore all week\"), a \"cool at the coast\" summer push, targeted buckets of activity advertising (for example, separate mountain‑bike and beach‑combing buckets), and a Travel Oregon grant of $42,500 to redesign the bureau website.

Commissioners asked about a planned ODOT road closure south of town that may fall on the Bay Area Fun Festival weekend in September. Longene said some lodging properties are offering incentives to encourage visitors to stay an extra night to avoid detours, and that the bureau is communicating with vendors and attendees. She described the detour route to I‑5 via Crescent City as a lengthy alternate and said the bureau will continue outreach to mitigate the closure’s effects.

The bureau also said it has secured funding to operate holiday‑lights shuttles out of the Charleston Marina and noted continued partnerships with Travel Southern Oregon Coast and local businesses for cross‑promotion. Longene closed by thanking the board for support of the TLT in the bureau’s service area and taking questions from commissioners.

The presentation was informational; no board action was necessary.","The Coos Bay–North Bend–Charleston Visitor and Convention Bureau reported expected transient lodging tax revenue, new marketing campaigns and events tied to Whiskey Run mountain bike trails and a new Denver flight, and answered questions about an ODOT road closure that could affect local festivals.","actionData","errors"]
