In conjunction with this project, a decision was made to eliminate the cardboard recycling containers; the glass recycling container will remain.

for Two Marine Reserves
The Oregon Department of and Fish and Wildlife will host two Public Meetings describing fishing and other prohibitions scheduled to take effect on Jan. 1, 2012, at the Otter Rock Marine Reserve and the Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve and Marine Protected Area.
Both of these sites were designated Marine Reserves in 2009 but the prohibitions were delayed so scientists could collect baseline data from each site.
Redfish Rocks Meeting: Nov. 16, from 6-7:30 p.m., at the Port Orford Community Hall, 419E 11th St., Port Orford
Otter Rock Meeting: Nov. 17 , from 6-7:30 p.m., at the Depoe Bay Community Hall, 220 S.E. Bay Street, Depoe Bay
Staff members from ODFW and the Oregon State Police will be available to answer questions and provide information on the prohibitions and boundaries of each of the two Marine Reserve Sites.

EAS Nationwide Test on Wednesday
There will be a Nationwide Emergency Alert System Test held on Wednesday, November 9th at 11:00 a.m. This test will last 3 minutes and will be broadcast on all television and radio stations. Apparently it will appear and sound like an actual real event, but it is only a test. We are assisting to send this information to as many people as possible so that they do not panic thinking a National Emergency has occurred. Please share this information with as many people as you are able to.

Bay Street Improvements Project Update
Devils Lake Rock Company is going to start Monday, October 17th, 2011.
The project will entail taking up the pavement from the intersection of Hwy 101 to Conway Avenue. The contractor has to do some underground work, storm water, and new signal controls.
As soon as they open up Bay Street, the signal light will have to be turned off. That means the light to turn off of Bay Street will always be red. The traffic lights on Hwy 101 will work normally.
Most of the time Bay Street will be closed, but at night it will be a ONE-WAY going east, you will not be able to go west because of the one way, and the light will always be red. That is the only way this project will work.
The sidewalks will not be disturbed, so customers can still access the businesses on Bay Street or they can walk through the area to get downtown.
The contractor has 45 days to complete the work, but I do not think it will take that long.
Please pass the word along and tell business owners they need to tell their suppliers that they will not be able to drop their supplies off on Bay Street, but will have to use Conway Avenue or some other area. We will keep the parking lots open, but may have to reconfigure the one behind Spouting Horn.
I know this project will disrupt the flow of traffic, but there is no other way to do this project. Bay Street is getting so bad it is deteriorating at an alarming rate. I wanted to do the project in the summer, but did not want to disturb the tourist and fishing season. I can’t wait any longer; the weather is starting to turn, and we have to get this project done ASAP.
Thank you for your patience.
Terry Owings,
City Superintendent

Request for Proposals
Outdoor Warning and Public Alert System
The City of Depoe Bay desires to provide its residents and visitors with the added safety of an outdoor warning system combined with a public alert system. This system will warn the population of an impending tsunami, disaster, or hazard. The City has recognized the importance of a warning system which can provide not only an initial alert, but also can inform and update residents and tourists with information regarding evacuation sites and the alert status. This system will also be utilized as a public address system for the Depoe Bay harbor area at a minimum. The City of Depoe Bay desires to select a total system that is turn-key, and to select the system using cost vs. capabilities and performance.
A Mandatory Pre-Proposal Discussion and Tour will be conducted on October 5, 2011 at Depoe Bay City Hall, 570 SE Shell Ave., Depoe Bay OR 97341. This will provide an opportunity for proposers to view the area terrain and gain an understanding of unique aspects of the location.

#1 Warning System: NOAA Weather Alert Radios
At the City Council's joint meeting with the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners last night, Lt. Curtis Landers, County Emergency Manager, said that DOGAMI (Department of Geology And Mineral Industries) and the State say that the number one thing people should have to stay informed of emergencies is a NOAA weather alert radio. He encouraged citizens to have one in the home, a portable one in the car, one in the workplace - anywhere where they'd want to be informed, and said the radios serve as one's own personal warning siren. He noted that the main purpose of warning sirens is to alert people who are outside.
