North Bend residents and council members are gearing up for a two-day civic engagement, set to start with a City Council Work Session on February 24, followed by a City Council Meeting on February 25. According to a public meeting notice, the work session will focus on the city's strategic planning, including discussions on its vision, mission, and priorities. This preparatory meeting will take place at the Council Chambers, 835 California Ave, at 4:30 pm.
For those unable to make it to the Council Chambers, which seats 86, the city has made provisions to live stream the events on its official YouTube channel. A link to the channel can be found on the City of North Bend's website, ensuring transparency and broader community participation.
The following evening, on Tuesday, February 25, the City Council will convene for its regular session meeting. During the ceremonial segment of the meeting, long-serving WWTP Operator II, Ronnie Grout, will be honored for his 25 years of service. The consent calendar is set to include an acknowledgment of January's bills, a contract concerning electrical installation for Pump Station #4, and the awarding of a park mower bid.
Moreover, appointments to the North Bend Budget Committee will be addressed. Residents with interests in the city's budgeting process may find this part of the meeting particularly relevant. The full agenda for both sessions and details on how to participate remotely are made available on North Bend's official website.
