Current Issues

The main issue in Dunes City is Woahink Lake. Most, if not all people that live on the lake get their water from the lake. In 2003, a citywide water right was obtained from the State of Oregon. After this happened, a temporary building moratorium was set in place, with the mayor deciding that it should be set. This lasted for 90 days, and no more moratoriums can be set in place. Currently, a septic tank ordinance is trying to be set in place. The council is made up of four members that were con-moratorium, and two that are pro-moratorium. The building moratorium, if in place longer, could have provided the city with Oregon Ballot Measure 37 (2004) claims, causing the city to go bankrupt. The 2006 election saw four pro-moratorium councilmen put in place, making four pro-moratorium, and two pro-development. This will mean that Dunes City will have to either get a tax base, or risk going bankrupt.

Above statements are basically false. There is nothing to prevent another moratorium from being established. There is no truth to statement that Ballot Measure 37 claims could be linked to the moratorium, and certainly no truth to statement that the election of some new and more responsible members to the council will cause the city to go bankrupt. On the contrary, electing some new members to the council who favor protection of the water in our lakes shows the local residents understand the problems and want action. There remain two pro development council members who will probably not be elected, again, and may even face recall.
