PACIFIC CITY — Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) will host a townhall meeting 3 p.m. Friday, Feb. 7 at Kiawanda Community Center to discuss the proposed setback dike at Sitka Sedge State Natural Area.

OPRD and its partner, Tillamook Estuaries Partnership, are designing a proposed setback dike to replace the tide control function of the existing dike, which has been failing.

The informational meeting will be held in person at 34600 Cape Kiawanda Drive in Pacific City and include a presentation and time for questions.

For those who cannot attend the meeting in person, it will be livestreamed via webinar and recorded. Join the webinar at https://us06web.zoom.us/j/87005693462 or find a recording online afterward at OPRD’s YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkqL6iVPBrfCTO27cNmCTwg.

Internet speed issues in the area have made past audio and video streams of meeting content choppy. OPRD will continue to try to find ways of improving webinar audio and video quality.
