Douglas County Commissioners have announced that most county government offices will be closed on Monday for Memorial Day.

A county release said that includes offices in the courthouse, Justice Building, Courthouse Annex in Reedsport, landfill and transfer stations, fairgrounds and all external government offices.

Even though most county offices are not open, many officials and public employees are still working on special, routine, or emergency projects such as the Douglas County Commissioners, Juvenile Department, Public Works Department, Emergency Management Department, Parks Department and Salmon Harbor Marina Division.

The Douglas County Museum of History and Natural History and the Umpqua River Lighthouse Museum will be open on Monday for normal business hours. All county operated parks, campgrounds and boat ramps will continue to be open and accessible to the public. Salmon Harbor Marina and the Winchester RV Park will be open as well.

While the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office lobby entrance will be closed on Monday, deputies, 911 communications, and other DCSO staff will continue to provide law enforcement protection and assistance for residents. Those with an emergency can still call 911. To reach dispatch for a non-emergency, call the non-emergency number at 440-4711.
