From the Mayor: Port Orford Faces Budget Crisis
Dear Port Orford Residents,
Our city is currently facing a budget shortfall of $100,000. To maintain current essential services—especially 24/7 on-call police coverage—we’re considering adding a public safety fee of $12 per household to monthly utility bills.
We know that residents voted overwhelmingly (85%) to support staffing our police department. However, in retrospect, those of us on City Council failed to ask for an adequate amount of funding with the last police levy. It’s now less than it was ten years ago.
We know $12 a month is not a small ask. But the reality is, costs for city services—like water treatment, electricity, and public safety—have all gone up far faster than our revenues, which are capped by state tax assessment laws. Meanwhile, revenue from traffic citations, which has helped to fund law enforcement in the past, has dropped significantly due to recent successful safety improvements along Highway 101.
We’re not the only small town in Oregon facing this kind of financial pressure. Many have already introduced a public safety fee to close the gap and avoid deeper cuts. Without additional revenue, we’ll have to reduce law enforcement.
This isn’t a decision we take lightly. We’re holding a Budget Town Hall meeting on Monday, June 16 at 5:30pm at City Hall. This will be a time for us to provide more information about the current budget crisis and for residents to get questions answered and to share their perspective about public safety.
In Port Orford, we’re all in this together, and City Council wants to find the best path forward for our community at this challenging time.
Sincerely,
Ann Vileisis, Mayor of Port Orford
